Chapter 159: The minister handed the knife to His Majesty
Xu Youzhen talked about Shi Heng one by one, and while talking, he paid attention to Zhu Qizhen's expression.
There are too many things to talk about Shi Heng, and it may not be finished in three days and three nights. The emperor summoned him Xu Youzhen to come, obviously not trying to hear how loyal Shi Heng, the loyal Duke of the Kingdom, was to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty and worry about the people of the world.
"Since Your Majesty's restoration, Duke Zhongguo regards himself as a meritorious official, and the affairs of the court have been eliminated in one word. The ministers of the two capitals have been deposed and demoted, and they have no idea what the situation is!"
"Duke Zhongguo is in the court and has arranged his confidants. Just what I know is that in the Beizhenfushi, there are more than 50 sons and nephews of the family of Zhongguo, who have taken the credit for the Jinyiwei and served as commanders, thousands of households and hundreds of households. In the Jinyiwei, Duke Zhongguo did not know that there was His Majesty, and there were even more. The descendants of the Shi family who were still in their infancy also inherited the Jinyiwei's position as a hundred households. The loyal and brave men in the Jinyiwei dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out!"
"The Ministry of Personnel is full of traffic every day. Due to the restoration, there are countless people who have obtained official positions because of the restoration. No one in the court dares to say that Duke Zhongguo is not because no one knows that his colleagues around him may not have been recommended by Duke Zhongguo to get official positions. Even if they are not Duke Zhongguo, if they use this matter to inform Duke Zhongguo, the person who reported the report will still be successful..."
"How many people are there to be an official position?" Zhu Qizhen still had that wooden face, but there was a faint frightening light in his eyes.
"I'm afraid there are no less than three thousand numbers, or even more. I dare say that these three thousand numbers are only a small number!"
Xu Youzhen replied with certainty. He knew very well that Shi Heng was indeed very domineering and was now unscrupulous. However, what the emperor was most concerned about was very clear. The emperor would definitely not care about things related to money, women, etc. As long as it touched the court, imperial power, and other sensitive areas, the emperor would definitely not let go of them easily.
"It seems that it is not Long Sanqian and Shi Babai, but on the other hand, it is his Shi King Three Thousand Court officials and our Zhu family 800 officials..." Zhu Qizhen said sinisterly: "Continue to say..."
Even the title "Stone King" was spoken out from the emperor. Xu Youzhen felt a little happy. It seemed that Shi Heng was really in trouble this time.
"A few days ago, Duke Zhongguo planned to command the Datong commander for his son and nephew Shi Hou. The Ministry of War sent the notebook to the cabinet and was beaten back by the minister. How important is Datong Town? If Duke Zhongguo has some idle positions in the court, I will endure it. However, this is a major event related to the military, country and country. As long as I am still in the cabinet for one day, he will not be allowed to do anything randomly!"
Zhu Qizhen suddenly raised his head and looked at Xu Youzhen: "I don't know about this!"
"The Ministry of War and the Cabinet have files left. Your Majesty can review them at any time to confirm that I have no false statements!"
Xu Youzhen shut up and stopped talking.
What else are you talking about? He is no longer giving Shi Heng an eye drop, but handing a knife to the emperor in front of him. If the emperor in front of him still has a trace of emperor awareness, he is afraid that he can't tolerate such a minister!
"Embroidered Uniform Guard, court, army..." Zhu Qizhen suddenly laughed gloomy: "I have only been restoring for a few days, and I can't even figure out some of the situations, so I dare not act rashly. He is good. He has to extend his hand everywhere and dare to extend his hand anywhere. Is he helping me restore it or helping him to be unjust?"
"Tell me the commander of the Jinyiwei Menda!"
After a while of silence, Zhu Qizhen spoke to the outside of the study.
"Your Majesty, no!" Xu Youzhen shouted softly, and Zhu Qizhen turned around in disbelief and looked at him: "Menda is also that guy?"
"I dare not speak nonsense, but I think that the important positions in the Jinyiwei are now filled with the people of the Duke of Zhongguo. I am afraid that the Jinyiwei will not trust it. No matter what His Majesty wants to do, it is better not to use the Jinyiwei!"
Xu Youzhen shook his head: "There must be loyal and brave men in the Jinyiwei, but I don't know who is, or who is not. In this way, it is best not to use them all!"
"I can still trust Ha Ming!" Zhu Qizhen was silent for a moment and shook his head slightly: "It's a pity that he is not missing from the north. Otherwise, how could my Jinyiwei be so messy by this person!"
Zhu Qizhen looked outside the door, and all the guards outside the door entered his eyes. He shook his head and drove out the thoughts in his mind--the guards in the palace could naturally be used, but Xu Chengzu and his people could not move easily.
Cao Jixiang is in charge of the East Factory, so he can't move!
He thought in his mind, and suddenly, a face appeared in his mind.
He picked up the letter on his desk, and sure enough, in the letter, he saw the name he had almost forgotten.
"Xu Bai!"
He was born in the Yinwei Guard and was in the Fufu Department of the Jinyiwei. He once entered the Nangong at night and was sent to protect his son by himself.
This person is trustworthy! Available!
"Transfer the order!" His eyes lit up slightly: "Hide Xu Bai, the Jinyiwei Nanfufu Department, and guard the King of Yi quickly return to Beijing, and you must not delay along the road!"
Xu Youzhen's eyelids twitched slightly. This familiar name was put together with King Yi, which reminded him of many things. Over the past few days, he thought he had forgotten this person, but he did not expect that this person had actually become the Nanzhen Fushishi.
"I have drawn an order for Your Majesty!"
He took the initiative to walk forward, and Zhu Qizhen waved his hand: "No, Duke Zhongguo is so arrogant and unlawful, I have never heard of it in the palace. What are my censors doing? What are the officials who are reading the books of sages and taking the salaries of the court, and they can sit still?"
"I understand!" Xu Youzhen nodded: "There are still His Majesty's loyal and kindness in the court. When I go back and think about it carefully, let them think about it carefully. Can you be worthy of Your Majesty and the court?"
"If you know, do it well. If you don't even dare to say anything, why are you the censor?" Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and ended the summoning: "Tell them that the surname Zhu is in the world, but not Shi!"
Xu Youzhen bowed and left the imperial study room and walked to the door. When the cold wind blew, a chill came up. He felt that he had been calm in front of the emperor, but he did not realize that his inner clothes were already wet.
He walked to the palace gate and got into his sedan chair. He suddenly realized that His Majesty had never known about Shi Heng's things? That might not be true. However, today he suddenly summoned himself into the palace and heard that he had said so much, but I am afraid that His Majesty had already made a decision in his heart.
What exactly is that His Majesty suddenly feels that he can no longer tolerate Shi Heng?
Xu Youzhen couldn't figure it out.
