"Border affairs are not trivial matters and cannot be dealt with at will, especially those with such vassals, and they cannot be easily replaced. The auxiliary ministers of the Xuan Cabinet will meet."

Zhu Youxiao wanted to take advantage of Feng Sanyuan's impeachment of Xiong Tingbi to see the attitudes of the cabinet ministers.

So, Zhu Youxiao talked about the personal eunuch Wei Chao.

Not long after.

Zhu Youxiao met three cabinet ministers, Fang Congzhe, Liu Yiyin and Han Yu, on the Ganqing Palace platform.

Zhu Youxiao directly asked the Wei Dynasty to give Feng Sanyuan’s impeachment of Xiong Tingbi to the three cabinet ministers for viewing, and said: “It is said that if you listen to both sides, you will be clear and partial, and you will be secret. The position of management is not trivial, so I want to hear the opinions of the three beloved ministers.”

Because Xiong Tingbi was sponsored by Fang Congzhe, Fang Congzhe said first: "Your Majesty is wise! Feng Sanyuan knows what border affairs are. Now the border army owes serious wages, and the military has not been repaired for a long time. Each military town has its own little thoughts. Xiong Tingbi, a civil servant, is in the middle to reconcile, calm the army and pacify the people, clarify the enemy and us, and strengthen the border defense, so that the Eastern Barbarians will be defeated without fighting. Could it be that he is as eager for quick success and instant benefits as Yang Hao, and the Ming Dynasty will lead to the defeat of Sarhu again? I believe that people like Feng Sanyuan who are just talking about the country will be punished with the intention of calming the border ministers!"

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao only nodded, then looked at Liu Yiyin and Han Du.

Liu Yiyin guessed that the emperor wanted to test the attitude of his cabinet ministers towards Xiong Tingbi.

So Liu Yiyin would not directly say that he was dissatisfied with Xiong Tingbi as the governor of Liaodong, but instead thought: "Your Majesty, the matter in Liaodong has not been decided is indeed the fact, and the court has consumed countless money. The treasury is tight at the moment. If the affairs in Liaodong have not been resolved, it will only make the government more difficult. But from my opinion, border affairs should not be hasty. Perhaps Xiong Tingbi also has his own difficulties. Therefore, I would rather give Xiong Tingbi the original text of Feng Sanyuan's memorial to Xiong Tingbi and ask him to write a memorial to himself. Then the court will make a decision based on what the two said before objectively."

"What the old master said was the old man's words of planning the country, and it was very reasonable."

Zhu Youxiao expressed his approval, but he disagreed and said in his heart: "What a good Liu Yiren, he is really a cunning person. As long as it is not about his own interests, he will not express his attitude."

then.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Han Du, who was the last to enter the cabinet.

Han Yu also said, "Your Majesty, I think this matter is very important, so I should ask Zhang Heming, the Grand Marshal of the Ministry of War."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "It is said that he met Zhang Heming, Minister of War!"

So, the scene summoned by the entire platform became quiet.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but think: "It's great, only because Fang Congzhe, who has sponsored Xiong Tingbi, has strongly protected Xiong Tingbi. The remaining two are as slippery as loaches and do not express their attitude. I still want to know who supports Feng Sanyuan behind the scenes."

After a while.

The Minister of War Zhang Heming rushed over.

Zhu Youxiao directly gave Feng Sanyuan's memorial to Zhang Heming and asked Zhang Heming to mention his views on the Liaodong governor Xiong Tingbi.

Zhang Heming glanced at Han Yu. Seeing that Han Yu was not squinting, he replied according to the draft that had been prepared in his heart: "Your Majesty! I think Xiong Tingbi is too cautious, so that the matter of Liao has not been decided for a long time. However, Liaodong Governor Yuan Yingtai is smart and capable, so he should be ordered to replace Xiong Tingbi as the strategy!"

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded, and was extremely shocked: "Yuan Yingtai, the Donglin Party, just replaced Xiong Tingbi as the Liaodong Prime Minister in history, lost Chenyang and Liaoyang. It turns out that he was able to become the Liaodong Prime Minister because you, the Minister of War, supported him later!"

And at this time.

Seeing this, Fang Congzhe became anxiously arguing: "Your Majesty! I believe that although Yuan Yingtai is smart and capable, he does not know about military affairs. As far as I know, this person went to Liaodong to recruit surrendered soldiers and rebel generals at will, and did not strictly investigate whether there were any detailed works. Nurhaci was not an ordinary Jurchen. This person had participated in the battle to combat the Japanese. He knew the details of my Ming Dynasty and understood the nature of the Han people. It is difficult to ensure that he would not participate in the detailed works and collude with scum. However, Yuan Yingtai never investigated. I am worried that if he was appointed as a manager, he might cause a great disaster!"

Zhu Youxiao heard Fang Congzhe say this and was also learning from his cabinet ministers. He would not express his attitude until the important moment, so he did not directly express his attitude. He just said: "Since the Ministry of War and the cabinet are different, please stay here first."

...

"Fang Congzhe, an old man, is like Xiong Tingbi, who is the old thief, to ruin our wealth!"

Fan Yuqing gritted his teeth and slapped the table, then stood up, and looked at Wang Wenyan with a disobedience: "So, it's useless to put money from Fang Congzhe. Is he going to speak for Xiong Tingbi?"

"In this world, it is not possible to solve everything by money. Xiong Tingbi was recommended by other Congzhe as the strategy. Naturally, Congzhe wanted to protect Xiong Tingbi. You don't have to be so excited. Master Liu asked me to tell you that the emperor summoned three cabinet assistants in the Qianqing Palace today. It was not that you criticized Fang Congzhe, but that you would take this opportunity to make another profit from Xiong Tingbi!"

After Wang Wenyan said that, he looked at Wei Yingjia, the left-hand servant of the official department, and said: "Wei Shiyi, the current Wei Dazhong Wei Gong was demoted to Guizhou. You are bound to do this. But before that, you can find a way to let Xiong Tingbi know that Censor Feng impeached him and that Fang Congzhe in the cabinet spoke for him, so that he would have to use silver to bribe the censor in the capital to protect his position in charge. Then you will use this as a handle to impeach Xiong Tingbi, saying that he bribed the censor in the capital and deceive Your Majesty!"

After hearing this, Wei Yingjia suddenly realized: "It's amazing! It's Mr. Liu, he is really unparalleled in his plan! The subordinate will do it now!"

Wang Wenyan nodded and then laughed: "Because Fang Congzhe spoke for Xiong Tingbi, His Majesty's memorial to Xiong Tingbi was only left behind, but when Xiong Tingbi's bribery of the civic officials was exposed, and we have already given silver to the people of the inner court, these people of the inner court will be cheered in front of His subordinates. At that time, Xiong Tingbi will have to come down from the position of management!"

...

"Your Majesty, according to Wang Eryu, the magistrate of Xiong Tingbi's hometown, Xiong Tingbi's hometown has been expanded several times, and even illegally used golden nanmu as beams and pillars. Many boxes will be transported back every one or two months. There are several ships that transport boxes! I also listened to the Jinyi Guardian in Huguang, and I don't know if it is true."

On this day, Zhu Youxiao asked about the Wei Dynasty's secret reports about the Jinyiwei in various places, so the Wei Dynasty mentioned this matter.

The Wei Dynasty is now the eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison and the admiral of the East Factory, so he is responsible for the affairs of the Jinyiwei.

When Zhu Youxiao heard Wei Chao say this, he glanced at Wei Chao meaningfully, then said "Yes", and then said, "You retreat, I want to be alone later."
