Shen Yongmao didn't know much about Meng Qiaofang, but he seemed to have some hidden information in the emperor's words, so he said: "According to the order, I will take Meng Qiaofang with me when I go north."

Zhu Xu nodded, his expression was dull.

Meng Qiaofang was found by the Jinyiwei in Liaodong and had sex with the Later Jin Dynasty, but he was very smart and could not find any evidence. In history, this was a surrendered general of the Ming Dynasty and served as the governor of the three borders of Shaanxi and Xi for ten years in the Qing Dynasty. He made great contributions and became the Minister of War and was appointed as the Prince Taibao!

Therefore, Zhu Xu decided to harvest this head for Huang Taiji!

With the cooperation of the Jinyiwei, Huang Taiji will have to accept this head if he doesn’t!

"Also, this matter must be closely coordinated with the Jinyiwei," Zhu Xu suddenly looked at Shen Yongmao again and said, "Some people still cannot withdraw."

For example, Tong Yangzhen.

Zhu Xu's close senior Ming Dynasty officials actually knew that the Jinyiwei had not been completely cut off. Shen Yongmao was not surprised and responded: "I will cooperate closely with the Jinyiwei and will not harm the emperor's arrangement in Liaodong!"

Zhu Xu nodded and said with a slightly cold look: "Dorgon is in the side hall. You can take it back to the Ministry of War and take it north together. If he has any 'different', you can take it first and then report it!"

Shen Yongmao understood and said in a deep voice, "I obey the order!"

Zhu Xu gave a few more words, and then asked Shen Yongmao to leave.

Sitting in the empty imperial study room, Zhu Xu pressed one hand on the table, his face thinking.

Liaodong was always uneasy, which made the Ming Dynasty unable to concentrate on internal affairs. It was necessary to think of a way to make Huang Taiji stay honest and not cause trouble for the Ming Dynasty.

Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Xu's frowning expression, thought for a moment, stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, the plum blossoms in the Imperial Garden are blooming just in time. Do you want to enjoy them? Miss Li has just come out of Renshou Hall."

Zhu Xu was stunned and then realized that Cao Huachun was looking for a chance to eliminate negative emotions. After thinking about it, he stood up, loosened his muscles and smiled and said, "Well, then go to the Imperial Garden. By the way, let Feng Zhu go to another six doors, speed up the staffing, and ask Wei Zhongxian to secretly help."

Cao Huachun responded softly. When he first cleaned up the Donglin Party, some people still missed the net for various reasons. Some "reformed" and the Donglin Party were drawn by a clear line and actively embraced the new policy. Some were still stubborn and became the obstacle to the new policy.

The emperor is going to settle these people and things before the end of the year.

The back hall of the Ministry of Personnel, the Shangshu class room.

Zhou Yingqiu is now so busy that he doesn't touch the ground, and it's dark.

Without the Beijing Procuratorate, the Supervisory Yuan was unable to fully take over the previous powers of the Supervisory Yuan. Therefore, the Ministry of Personnel's official assessment, promotion, and rewards and punishments were carried on by the Ministry of Personnel.

The power of the Ministry of Personnel has never been seen since its understanding. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the true head of the six ministries, and the "hidden image" is no exception!

Although the increase in power has excited Zhou Yingqiu, his busy work has also exhausted him.

The documents in his hand were submitted by Governor Hu and Guang, and seven prefectures and ten prefectures were listed to recommend them to the Ministry of Personnel for reference or confirmation.

Even though Zhu Xu's political reform strengthened control over the local area, the imperial court sometimes seemed powerless in the face of the huge Ming Dynasty. For example, in the assessment of officials, even if the Ministry of Personnel sent officials to conduct on-site assessment, it was still impossible to guarantee whether these people had real talents and knowledge and truly focused on the new policy.

"The Governor's Yuan, the Three Offices..."

Zhou Yingqiu had a deep gaze and a tired expression. He felt increasingly urgent for the imperial court to reform politically. If the Three Secretary’s Office now establishes and improves the General Office, he would be able to understand it from multiple channels and not be deceived by the local government.

A concierge hurried to the door and said to Zhou Yingqiu, "Sir, Meng Qiaofang is asking for a meeting."

Zhou Yingqiu raised his head and recalled that this person seemed to have been specially recalled by the emperor from Liaodong?

‘Can you also need to reuse it?’

Zhou Yingqiu thought so, then nodded and said, "Please come in."

Meng Qiaofang quickly stepped in, raised her hand with a smile on her face and said, "I have met Lord Shangshu."

Zhou Yingqiu waved his hand and smiled, "Mr. Meng, don't be polite, come and watch the tea!"

Meng Qiaofang felt relieved when she saw Zhou Yingqiu's attitude and thought to herself, "It seems that my appointment is almost 100%."

How could he know that the so-called unpredictable power of heaven had already come to him.

Zhou Yingqiu didn't know this, so he greeted Meng Qiaofang politely: "Mr. Meng is a rare guest, I don't know what happened to the Ministry of Personnel?"

Meng Qiaofang was naturally uneasy because his official position had not been arranged for a long time. Seeing that Zhou Yingqiu was so polite, he was already sure, so he made excuses casually and said with a smile and respectful voice: "I'm not afraid of adults laughing at me. There are a few good seedlings in my family. My wife is arguing every day, and the quarrels have to come to see Lord Shangshu and ask for peace of mind. This fraud case?"

Zhou Yingqiu was not surprised. Although the incident occurred in the Ministry of Rites and the Political Court, the Ministry of Personnel was in charge of officials in the world, and it was not the first one to find him.

He pondered and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, Lord Meng, this matter is a matter of nothing. Someone takes the opportunity to make trouble. I believe it will be clarified in no time."

Meng Qiaofang showed a relaxed look on her face and was embarrassed again. She stood up and said, "I'm really bothering Lord Shangshu. It happened that a few days will be the birthday of her mother. I wonder if I have time to go to drink a glass of water and wine, so I am now in charge of the Lord."

Except for not knowing how Zhu Xu would reuse Meng Qiaofang, Zhou Yingqiu could see clearly and said without accepting or rejecting: "If you have time, you will definitely go to celebrate your birthday."

Meng Qiaofang was overjoyed and said, "The emperor must be waiting for the grandfather!"

Zhou Yingqiu politely sent Meng Qiaofang away, with a look of hesitation.

Meng Qiaofang gave him a very bad feeling. With his understanding of the emperor in Jingyang Palace, it is unlikely that such a person would be used.

In contrast to Zhou Yingqiu, Meng Qiaofang felt very good. Zhou Yingqiu, the Minister of Personnel, was so polite to him, which means that he was "Jian Zai Di Xin" and was about to be reused!

He sat in the sedan chair and returned home staggeringly. While thinking about how to keep my mother's birthday lively, he secretly decided not to get involved in the scientific examinations of Xiong Wenju and others. He could not make any mistakes at this time!

Zhu Youjian obtained Zhu Xu's order and left Jingyang Palace and began to gather people to investigate the so-called "infernal examination case".

He did not use the Ministry of Justice, nor did he use the power of the East Factory, and directly arrested people with his royal palace guards!

According to the specifications of King Xin, there were 70 guards. He used these people to investigate the case. In less than an hour, he arrested more than 30 people who spread rumors. After judging them layer by layer, Xiong Wenju was arrested before night time.

Still not sent to the Ministry of Justice, nor to the Imperial Prison, but in the Palace of King Xin!

It was getting dark, and the palace compound of Xinwang Mansion was dark.

King Xin sat on the steps, with the captain of the guards and Wang Chengen standing on both sides.

There were more than 30 people, including Xiong Wenju, a group of scholars and beggars, kneeling down from the right.

There were a group of scholars standing in front of him, all of whom had the most troubles. They were attracted by the King of Xin and looked at each other in wondering what had happened.

Sun Chengze's eyes flashed, and he looked at Xiong Wenju, who had been punished by blue nose and swollen face. He suddenly raised his hand to Zhu Youjian and said aloud: "I wonder why the prince asked me to come and miss it? Also, Xiong Wenju is a scholar, why was he punished?"

Once a scholar has fame and fortune, he has many benefits, such as not kneeling when he sees an official, not being punished for no reason, etc.

King Xin's face was deserted, majestic and evil.

He ignored Sun Chengze.

Wang Chengen stepped forward and looked at Xiong Wenju and said coldly: "Say, where did the test questions come from?"

When a group of scholars standing heard this, they immediately started to buzz.

"What? Brother Xiong stole the imperial examination questions?"

"Impossible, how could Brother Xiong steal the imperial examination questions!"

"That's right, if you really steal it, why do you have to spread it? Wouldn't it be better to use it yourself!"

"There must be corruption and fraud in it!"

"The important officials of the court must participate. The Council is so mysterious, so we must thoroughly investigate!"

The scholars were whispering at first, but soon they started shouting loudly.

Zhu Youjian frowned slightly, and the captain of the guard beside him stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Shut up, if you dare to make loud noises, you will be responsible for your responsibility!"

The captain of the guard immediately calmed the noisy scholars. They came to speak out and didn't want to be beaten for no reason.

Wang Chengen looked at Xiong Wenju who was forcibly raised his head and said coldly: "Say, where did the imperial examination questions come from?"

Xiong Wenju was taken to the handle, and a person who helped him spread his words recognized him, right behind him. He was in pain all over his body, and knew that he could not deny it, and still gritted his teeth and said, "I got it by accident..."

The angry scholars were relieved and looked at each other, all of whom were shocked. The test questions were actually spread by Xiong Wenju!

Sun Chengze knew that it would not take long to involve him after the trial of this matter, so he suddenly said to Zhu Youjian: "Prince, isn't this matter investigated by the Ministry of Justice? Why did the prince use lynching in the mansion?"

Zhu Youjian rushed back to the capital with a lot of things waiting for him to do, but he didn't expect to be tripped by this so-called "Imperial Examination Case" and was naturally very annoyed. Listening to Sun Chengze's question, he said in a deep voice: "I am the regent of the current dynasty, how can I not try this "disclosure case"!"

Sun Chengze's mouth moved, and he continued to speak in a tough voice: "No matter what, the prince used lynching in etiquette and law, and he asked the prince to hand over these people to the Ministry of Justice and open the trial."

Zhu Youjian was angry and said in an unkind tone, "The Ministry of Justice only has the right to investigate and does not have the right to investigate the case. If you want to hand it over, it is also handed over to Dali Temple. You seem to be a scholar, but why do you have no understanding of the basic laws of the court?"

Sun Chengze stammered his neck and wanted to continue to argue, but Zhu Youjian's cold eyes made him feel nervous, and he opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak again.

Seeing that the scholars were quiet, Wang Chengen continued to interrogate Xiong Wenju: "I got it accidentally? Then why did you say it was an 'inferior examination question'? Why did you buy people and spread rumors everywhere? You even openly beat important officials of the court at the gate of the palace. Do you know that this is a death sentence!"
