A mere chief officer was invited to have tea by the Jinyiwei Nanfu Department. If such a big thing had happened this time, not many people would have paid attention to it.

Adding a doctor doesn’t seem to be a great thing. He is all officials of the Ministry of Justice. It is unknown whether there is any connection between them. Anyway, those who are clear will be clear, and those who are turbid will be turbid.

However, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice was invited to take away for tea in front of everyone. Even if someone wanted to pretend that he was blind, he could not pretend.

The first one who responded was Lin Cong, Minister of Justice.

Lin Cong, the Minister of Justice, is a standard literati. His resume also recurs from the court to the local government, and then from the local government to the court several times. He is one of the more experienced positions. What is even more amazing is that from the Minister of Personnel in the Zhengtong year to the current Minister of Justice, he has come step by step. Even though he has experienced the Tumubao Incident, the Nangong Incident, and Shi Heng's rebellion during this period, he seems to have not been affected.

In short, this is a capable minister, and a capable minister who is well versed in the way of being an official.

The Ministry of Justice is naturally his private land. Now the minister who helped him take care of the private land was taken away by the prince's people. Even if it was for others to show it, he had to go to the East Palace for a while.

"There is this thing!"

Facing Lin Cong's inquiry, Zhu Jianshen answered with affirmative answer: "The commander of the Jinyiwei was attacked by a scholar and died. The Ministry of Justice was inadvertent, but the matter was not yet concluded. The people from the Imperial Inquiry Factory asked the people from the Ministry of Justice to ask, so that the Secretary Lin would not be so fussy!"

"I don't want to make a fuss!" Lin Cong looked like a very kind old man, and smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Your Highness, your people took away three officials from my Ministry of Justice, including the Right Minister Tian Wendi. You can't always stare at the Ministry of Justice!"

"Then where should I focus?" Zhu Jianshen turned his head and asked with interest: "Could it be that Shangshu Lin has found out what clues in this case?"

"That's not!" Lin Cong decisively denied: "I just wanted to tell Your Highness that my three departments are one, the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Censorate, have all participated in this case. Your Highness attaches so much importance to the Ministry of Justice. If someone thinks that I am incompetent, then I can only roll up the bedding and go back to my hometown to farm!"

He blinked his eyes and looked at Zhu Jianshen: "Your Highness doesn't want me to go back to my hometown to farm!"

Zhu Jianshen laughed. He could understand Lin Cong's words. At least he knew that Lin Cong was not Xu Youzhen's person. In terms of qualifications, he was much older than Xu Youzhen. He was even more arrogant. Even if Xu Youzhen was in power in the court, there were still some people looking down on him, and Lin Cong was one of the small people who looked down on Xu Youzhen.

So, a capable minister who is not Xu Youzhen sat in the position of the Minister of Justice. For Zhu Jianshen, such an important position cannot be easily handed over to others.

The battle in the court is not just you or me, but one must distinguish between high and low, and life and death. Most of the time, when the two factions are fighting fiercely, there are more people watching the fun on the side. These people are either qualifications, abilities, fame, or lords, or even for the Ming Dynasty, these people are more pillars of the country than those who fight in the court.

"The Ministry of Justice needs to purify it!" Zhu Jianshen nodded: "Shangshu Lin is a pillar of the court. In the future, I will rely on Shangshu Lin to manage the world of the Great Ming Dynasty for me. How can I bear to let Shangshu Lin retire? "

"Then your highness will have to return my people to me quickly!" Lin Cong smiled sly: "No one can help me, how can I tidy up the Ministry of Justice for Your Highness!"

...

Tian Wendi sat in this room in the warranty factory for half an hour. In this half hour, he had not seen any of the other people except the two guards at the door.

Of course, there is no tea or snacks.

After the initial panic, he was much calmer now. At least, he knew very well that with his assistant minister, there would be no danger. No matter whether the Eastern Palace Inspectorate Factory was holding chicken feathers as an arrow or the orders of His Royal Highness the Prince, under the current situation, no one dared to do anything to him.

Of course, the premise is that he does not commit suicide.

Within half an hour, he carefully recalled his recent actions. He was very sure that he had nothing to get a handle. Even if there were some cases in the Ministry of Justice that were difficult to explain clearly, even in front of the emperor, he could still distinguish them clearly.

In the end, he felt at ease. He couldn't wait to see who was asking him. If nothing unexpected happened, in his identity, at least he would have to be the person in charge of the factory!

The door creaked open, and he looked up and saw the person coming, and his face was filled with surprise.

"Sir Shangshu, you have alarmed you, the official is so frightened!"

"How can I not disturb me for such a big thing?" Lin Cong looked at him, sighed, and sat down in front of him.

"It's good that you are here. I, the doctor and I, have the backbone, have the backbone!" Tian Wen's first expression was excited: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is probably eager to make contributions, so he had a few disputes with the lower officials. If the crown prince is held accountable, the lower officials will definitely talk about it well!"

"Then there is no need to bother you!" Lin Cong sighed again: "I just came from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. As for why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited you, do you really have no idea at all?"

"What does Lord Shangshu mean?" Tian Wendi felt something was wrong: "The words of the officials were a bit extreme, but we literati always had this kind of character when they encountered a strong man!"

"If you have a good character, the court needs a kind official like you!" Lin Cong nodded: "Your Highness and the Crown Prince both feel that the Ministry of Justice has aggrieved you and cannot let you display your ambitions well. An capable and kind official like you deserves the court's value!"

Tian Wendi closed his mouth, his eyes slightly dazed. This was not a good thing, especially the previous one, "Your Highness and the Crown Prince..."

"The Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing has retired a month ago. If you want, the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites will be you!" Lin Cong looked at Tian Wendi in front of him: "Of course, if you think there is no one under your jurisdiction, you can take them away together!"

"What if the officials don't want to?" Tian Wendi's face looked a little ugly.

From the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice in Beijing to the Left Assistant Minister of Rites in Nanjing, this was simply from a hot topic to a distant place. Moreover, as long as he went to Nanjing, he was very sure that he was afraid that his dream of Shangshu would be shattered in most cases. The Left Assistant Minister of Rites was the pinnacle of his life and his destination.

"If you don't want to, don't want to. I'm just giving a suggestion!" Lin Cong shook his head slightly: "You are a smart person, so you naturally know why you were asked to go to Nanjing. Personally, I think going to Nanjing is really not a bad thing for you!"

He stood up and said, "Think about it carefully, I will talk to His Royal Highness outside. Whether you want to or not, I will leave here in half an hour!"

Lin Cong turned around and left. Tian Wendi looked at his back and suddenly found that the two guards at the door disappeared at any time. The door of the house was just open. If he wanted to leave, he seemed to be able to leave at any time.

At the other end of the investigation factory, Zhu Jianshen walked around the investigation factory, who was interested in it, and was sitting in the lobby, drinking tea while listening to Xu Bai reporting to him about the actions of the investigation factory.

"The matters of the Ministry of Justice will depend on how Tian Wendi decides. You have won this battle for me!"

Zhu Jianshen smiled and said, "At least we have changed the position of a minister and a chief minister. More importantly, Secretary Lin also made a choice!"

"That's all your highness, and your squad leader is capable of doing things!" Xu Bai replied with a smile. He didn't know whether the prince and the Minister of Justice came together for Tian Wendi, or to give people outside the feeling that the Ministry of Justice had already allowed the Prince to instigate him, and he didn't know what tacit understanding had reached between the Prince and the Minister of Justice.

Anyway, Zhu Jianshen said that he won, so he won, although he won for some reason.

"But, this is just the beginning!" Zhu Jianshen looked at him with satisfaction, "The next thing is the Censorate, where is the place where you should make great efforts. Moreover, you and I know that they have always had a lot of complaints about the East Palace..."

"The pens in the hands of those civil servants can kill people!" He snorted.

"I will definitely conquer the city and make new achievements for Your Highness!"

When Zhu Jianshen saw Xu Bai's humble and solemn look, his heart moved slightly: "However, after touching the hornet's nest of the Censorate, the civil servants dare not point the finger at me. There is no doubt that they should aim at you. Therefore, no matter whether you have made contributions or not, I am afraid that this time you will be criticized and criticized. It is probably you, you must be prepared to be wronged!"

"I am not afraid of your highness, but I am not afraid of it. What's the point of suffering a little wronged!"

The sound of footsteps came from outside the door. Zhu Jianshen looked at him a little, and slowly nodded to Xu Bai.

"It's over?" Zhu Jianshen asked, looking at Lin Cong who was walking in.

"I'm talking about it. He is a smart person. How to choose is his business!" Lin Cong nodded to Xu Bai with a smile, and then said to Zhu Jianshen: "I'm actually a little curious. If he really doesn't want to go to Nanjing, what will your highness treat him?"

"When you go to Nanjing, he is the left minister of the Ministry of Rites!" The prince glanced at him strangely: "If you don't go to Nanjing, he is the chief envoy of the Lu Gao case this time. It's a very simple thing!"

"Then what is the end of the Lu Gao case?"

"He hasn't gone to Nanjing, but he has just stopped here. Although he has some regrets and has not achieved his full efforts, it seems that it's OK!" The prince smiled and said, "The East Palace still has homework in the afternoon, so I'm not worthy of Secretary Lin. This investigation factory is a bit glorious. If Secretary Lin likes it, it's good to sit here more!"

"I'll give the crown prince..."

"No need, this is my investigation factory, I'll give it to you?" The boy had a little joyful laugh and walked out lightly.

"Xu Sheren!"

"Shangshu Lin!"

"Don't you give me a cup of tea?"
