And at this time Shanhaiguan.

The autumn breeze is swaying, the wild grass is withered and yellow, the sky is high and the clouds are white, what an autumn day!

At this time, Kublai Khan was looking at Bo Chi who was coming from afar, with a smile on his face.

Then he spoke, "Bo Chi, how is it?"

After hearing this, Bo Yi said, "Khan, peace talks have been completed! This is a book of peace." After that, he handed the agreement to Kublai Khan.

Kublai Khan took it, looked carefully, and then said, "Bochi, you are very good. After reading this agreement, Ben Khan is very satisfied!"

"Ben Khan decided to appoint you as Zhaluhuchi and decide on common affairs. However, you will be responsible for the follow-up work with the people. Ben Khan will return to Mongolia today, so you can do it well."

"Yes." Bo Chi said with a happy face. From today on, he will be considered a senior executive in Mongolia.

But how could Khan be so anxious about Mongolia? Something must have happened in Mongolia, but he didn't dare to ask again.

...

Kublai Khan rode on the horse, led 200,000 cavalry, and turned his head to look at Shanhaiguan again. I thought how energetic he was when he came, but when he returned, he was a little depressed. After he returned this time, he didn't know when he would return to Shanhaiguan!

However, he didn't know that he never returned to Shanhaiguan in this life!

"Jia, Jia, Jia..." The Mongolian army roared away in lightning.

On the pass of Shanhaiguan, Wu Yong looked at the Mongolian army roaring away and said "It's over"!

...

The next day, Yanjing City.

Daming Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Zheng Wen met with Zhou Kuo, Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice, Yang Bo, left-level censor of the Inspectorate, and Guo Huai, Minister of Dali Temple.

Zheng Wen took the lead and asked, "Dear friends, how did you investigate the Ma Yuan case?"

Zhou Kuo took the lead in answering: "Your Majesty, this time, Ma Yuan's case was thoroughly investigated. Ma Yuan confessed and admitted that he and Zhu An, the doctor of the Ministry of Works, reselled the materials of the Ministry of Works, embezzled various project funds of the Ministry of Works, etc., and in more than ten years it fell into his hands, it reached more than 500,000 taels. As for other officials, we are still counting..."

"What? He alone has reached 500,000 taels. I have such a huge corrupt state in my sect. It's so hard to hear it. It really opened my eyes!" Zheng Wen was furious when he heard it, and was so excited that he interrupted Zhou Kuo's words.

Not to mention Zheng Wen, even when they interrogated, they were shocked. In more than ten years, he made a profit of more than 500,000 silver. This was simply the biggest corrupt man in the big fight.

"You continue to say." Zheng Wen calmed down for a moment before speaking.

Zhou Kuo said again: "Your Majesty, he also confessed to his relatives, Di Ping, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Xia Yong, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council. They formed a corruption network in the court, accepting bribes, selling official positions, and embezzling military funds, etc., but he was not very clear about the specific details of this. Please tell me!"

"What, why is this happening? I'm really a little unbelievable because there are so many corrupt officials in the court!"

"I thought Ma Yuan was just a small problem. After all, I was a fairly honest official. I didn't expect that this series of people involved in so many people, which really made me feel heartbroken!"

"Tell me, what should I do? Yesterday's imperial tomb, today's corruption, why did I do so much business? Can't I live a good life?" Zheng Wen said loudly with some fatigue.

Zhou Kuo and the other two hurriedly knelt on the ground without saying a word.

Seeing this, Zheng Wen said, "Three dear friends, get up, I am also inspired, I will blame you!"

The three of them then stood up, but their faces were serious.

Seeing this, Zheng Wen said without any emotion: "Check it out! I want to see how many people are involved in the case!"

But the Zuodu Censor Yang Bo came out. This was a little old man, about sixty years old and a little short. He spoke and said, "Your Majesty, let's wait and investigate!"

Zheng Wen knew that Yang Bo's words were intended to be pushed back. The current court situation was already very turbulent, and with this, it was undoubtedly even more turbulent!

But Zheng Wen is also a person with a firm will and will not turn back without hitting the wall. Since he made a decision, he would make a decision quickly without any delay!

So, Zheng Wen said without any doubt: "No need to persuade me anymore, I have decided."

"I ordered the Minister of Justice Zhou Kuo to be the chief, the Left Commander Yang Bo and the Minister of Dali Temple Guo Huai to be the deputy, and the Ministry of Works Ma Yuan's case to thoroughly investigate the case!"

"Now!" "Now!" "Now!" the three of them answered in unison.

"You go! I will let the Yulin Army accompany you, don't let me down!"

The three of them all retreated.

Zheng Wen sat on the imperial throne and breathed a long sigh. He was so tired!

Zheng Wen felt deeply tired, physically tired, mentally tired, and never felt tired before!

And this is the impeachment case of the Ministry of Works, one of the "three major cases" at the end of the 16th year of Jianqi!

This case was called the "Minister-in-Chief of the Ministry of Works" by historians because of the fall of Ma Yuan, the Minister of Works, and the series of cases led to the impeachment of Sun Hua, the Minister of Works, and thus was called the "Minister-Chief of Works" by historians!

This case involves a wide range of scope and many officials in Daqian. It sets a precedent in Daqian's history and leaves a strong mark in history!

From the central to the local area, on both sides of the Yellow River, up and down the Yangtze River, almost affected the entire Daqian ruling region.

From senior officials in the ministry to local county magistrates, there are more than 2,000 officials of rank, and tens of thousands of those without rank!

It is really unheard of, and it is unheard of. Zheng Wen has been criticized in the hearts of scholars and officials for a long time.

But it also opened the curtain of the largest anti-corruption and corruption work in Daqian's history.

This is also one of the greatest achievements of the "New Policy on Jianwu", which is a very special book by later generations!

...

At this time, in the lobby of the Ministry of Rites, Liu Jian, Qin Fei, and Yan Wang Zheng Zhuang were secretly interrogating the officials involved in the imperial tomb case.

Three tables stood in the hall, Liu Jian was sitting in the hall, Qin Fei and Zheng Zhuang were sitting under the table slightly behind his left and right sides.

Liu Jian patted Chaogang and then spoke loudly: "Xie Xiong, as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites and the Shangguan of Xu Yang, have you coerced Xu Yang in the case of the imperial tomb?"

Xie Xiong stood in the hall and said expressionlessly: "Prime Minister, I am wronged. Although I am Xu Yang's Shangguan and have been in secret with him, I have never coerced him?"

"It's not you, is there another person? Is there another person in Shangguan he mentioned in his confession?" Liu Jian asked again.

"Sir, I have read that confession letter. The 'Shangguan' inside refers to me, but it is completely false to say that I coerce him. It is nothing. I am close to him, so that's just a colleague." Xie Xiong argued.

After hearing this, Liu Jian said again: "You said it wasn't you, so why did he mention you before he hanged himself? Did he deliberately conceal you? I can't see it!"

When Xie Xiong heard this, his face flushed with anxiety and immediately argued: "Sir, you have to investigate clearly. I can't explain it even if I'm full of mouth, but I really haven't coerced him. As for why he concealed me, I really don't know."

Liu Jian listened, but kept looking at him, feeling that what he said seemed to be true, but he knew people and face but not the heart. Who knew what Xie Xiong thought mentally?

In fact, Liu Jian also knew that after all the parties involved were dead, they were afraid that they could not find any substantial things, so the two confessions might not be true!

The only two confessions now are used as so-called "evidence", and they directly point directly to Xie Xiong, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, and then remind them of Zheng Jiao, the King of Tang.

But is it really him?

It may not be, it may be trapped by others.

Isn't Your Majesty clear in his heart? He knows it very well.

This is a case without substantial evidence, but behind the case points to all the princes, and almost all the so-called "evidence" directly points to the Tang King Zheng Jiao.

This is a political case, there is no right or wrong, only win or lose. Judging from the current situation, King Zheng Jiao of Tang is undoubtedly the biggest loser.

Because after Zheng Wen issued a thorough investigation, it was undoubtedly showing to the government and the opposition that the emperor had endorsed the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites, which were most likely to become victims of politics, just jumped out of the whirlpool.

Then if you want to find a victim, the best one is undoubtedly the Tang King Zheng Jiao, because all the "evidence" is showing that it is him.

Zheng Wen appointed Liu Jian as the presidency to preside over the case, but he did not want the case to affect the entire court and could only circulate among their brothers, but no matter who lost, Zheng Wen won.

Liu Jian also knew very well that as the prime minister and the head of all officials, he certainly hoped that the court would be stable, and he did not want his subordinates to become victims.

So, Liu Jian said again: "Okay, since that's the case, Xie Xiong, you stand aside first, Prince Tang is coming soon, let's wait for him."

After a while, King Zheng Jiao of Tang, accompanied by several guards, entered the lobby of the Ministry of Rites.

When Liu Jian saw this, he ordered: "Come here, find a chair for Prince Tang to sit down."

After a while, King Zheng Jiao of Tang will sit down.

Liu Jian took the lead and said, "Prince Tang, it is said that you are very close to Xie Xiong. Your Prince Tang's Mansion is very close to Li Kang, the doctor of the Ministry of Works, right?"

Zheng Jiao was silent for a moment before speaking: "Yes, these lonely people admit it."

These are all known to the government and the public, and he cannot deny them or deny them.

After hearing this, Liu Jian nodded before speaking, "That's good! In the confession of Xu Yang and Li Kang, it was admitted that the case of the imperial tomb was instructed by this 'priest', and this 'priest' refers to the Prince Tang, right?" Liu Jian asked directly to the core.

When Zheng Jiao heard this, an angry look flashed across his face and said loudly: "How could it mean orphan? Anyone in the court has the possibility of so many princes? It was obvious that someone knew the relationship between the Tang Palace and them, so he came to conceal the orphan."

"It is best for the father to be orphans during his lifetime. How could the orphans make a fuss on his mausoleum? It is obvious that someone is trapped by orphans. I hope the Prime Minister will investigate clearly!"

"And, Gu thought that this was done by the orphan eldest brother, King Yan, Zheng Zhuang, or the orphan second brother, Zheng Tong."

"Why do you say that? There is a reason for the Lonely."

"The father likes to be alone the most during his lifetime. He often suppresses them for the sake of his own sons. This is what the government and the people know. This is why they both disliked the father likes to be alone during his lifetime and concealed the orphan."

"As for Xu Yang and Li Kang, Gu admitted that they were gang members of the two, but a long time ago, Xu Yang was gang members of the second emperor, King Zhou, Zheng Tong, and Li Kang was gang members of the eldest emperor, King Yan, Zheng Zhuang, but later they turned to gang."

"So, Gu believes that these two are the two emperor brothers lurking in Gu's place, so it is clearly the two emperor brothers who are accusing Gu of Gu!"

At this time, Zheng Jiao knew in his heart that if he could not prove his innocence in this political case, he would not want to lose too badly. He could only desperately drag others into the water and disrupt the situation, so that he would have the chance to escape.

So he dragged Yan King Zheng Zhuang and Zhou King Zheng Tong into the water without hesitation!

But who is the final mastermind?
Chapter completed!
