Daming reckless man

Chapter 160 Rumors Spread
Chapter 160

Zhang Hao told Jiajing that if the three members of the cabinet did not meet his requirements this time, then he would beat them to death and let Jiajing re-elect the cabinet ministers.

"Okay!" Jiajing nodded, knowing that Zhang Hao is angry now, if you don't agree to him, you don't know what ugly words he will say.

"Today, I went to see Tu Qiao, and Tu Qiao told me that almost [-]% of the officials in my Ming Dynasty are corrupt. If you want to deal with them, you must establish authority, kill and establish authority, whether it is the cabinet or the local government. It doesn't matter if you are a senior official in the frontier, you must be killed!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing as he sat there.

"Well, but you have to wait, don't be in a hurry, the imperial guards and the troops of other princes haven't been trained well yet, you are just in a hurry, but I can understand, I can understand.

In fact, I am even more anxious than you, but I have no choice but to take my time. After the death of Tu Qiao, I have completely given up on the cabinet. Let them sit there. I want to see them. How long can the head be on their necks! "Jiajing sat down, and Yang Jinshui came over to make tea for the two of them.

"Your Majesty, anyway, I don't care. I am responsible for Tu Qiao's death. I want to transfer Tu Xu to Shuntian Mansion to serve as the general judge. It is impossible to say that his father just died and he has not yet achieved fame. Let him go back to his hometown. We are so sorry. It's gone!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing.

"Okay, I will let the officials pass through tomorrow, hey, did you meet Tu Qiao for the last time?" Jiajing sat there, looking at Zhang Hao and asked.

"I met for the last time, and then Tu Qiao asked me to go out, and I left before I walked out of the gate of his mansion!" Zhang Hao nodded and said.

"Perhaps I have a premonition. People who have passed away don't want outsiders to send them off, but they want their son to give them away. Hey! Tu Qiao, Tu Qiao, I hurt you, I hurt you, I'm still impatient, I'm still impatient!

Zhang Hao, you have to remember, now we can't be anxious, we can't let good officials disappear like this, ten corrupt officials can't compare with one good official, that Qin Liangyi is good, you have to keep an eye on him, you have to tell him, never Don't mess around, Daming, there are not many ministers who are really clean and honest. "Jiajing sat there and confessed to Zhang Hao.

"Understood." Zhang Hao nodded, and then said: "Anyway, you just wait, if you can't satisfy me, you see, I'll beat them to death!"

"Well, but Xu Jie is your father-in-law!" Jiajing said with a smile to Zhang Hao.

"What's wrong with my father-in-law? He's a corrupt official, I can't deal with him yet? Xu Shiyun loves to marry or not, so what if I don't marry? Daming is already like this, and I still have to spare them." Zhang Hao was very upset at the moment. said angrily.

"Well, I'm still in a hurry. Just after your marriage was settled, the princes of the state wrote to me, saying that I had booked your marriage early, and I should tell them. I didn't think of this at the beginning. All right, you can figure it out, the cabinet, I am so disappointed!" Jiajing sat there, nodded and said.

I regret betrotting Xu Shiyun to Zhang Hao, because Xu Shiyun is not worthy at all, just because his father is Xu Jie.

Although Xu Jie was not bad, he took money to some extent. If he didn't take money, he would not be able to sit firmly in the Ministry of Rites, and it would be impossible for him to enter the cabinet. Of course, he also has skills.

But at the moment in Lu Ben's mansion, Lu Ben, Xu Jie, and Yan Song are sitting in Lu Ben's study.

They sat here a few days ago and discussed the matter of dealing with Tu Qiao, but they never thought that things would turn out so badly.

They didn't intend to kill Tu Qiao, they just wanted to hurt Tu Qiao and stop investigating the case, but they didn't expect that when Tu Qiao fell, he would disappear.

And Zhang Hao was actually angry for Tu Qiao, the three of them didn't know how Tu Qiao got in touch with Zhang Hao.

If they had known, they would not have adopted such a method, but would have changed it, as long as Tu Qiao was injured.

"Choose someone? Don't force Zhang Hao to kill us!" Yan Song sat there and said.

"Is Zhang Hao so lawless? Can't we impeach him to the emperor?" Lu Ben asked Yan Song.

He was still not reconciled, but he also knew that this was asking knowingly.

"Before, the old man was going to deal with Zhang Hao. You thought the old man was doing it for Qiu Luan, but Ding Rukui excused him. Having such a person by the emperor's side is a threat to us.

Moreover, Zhang Hao is Lord Hou now. If Lord Hou is assassinated, let alone whether Zhang Rong can pass the level, even the other nobles will not be able to pass it.

If Zhang Rong doesn't kill us, other nobles will lead the army to Beijing and kill us, so forget about the assassination of Zhang Hao, don't mention it.

Now I'm just thinking about how to build a good relationship with Zhang Hao so that he doesn't check officials like this. If you check like this, everyone will have no way out! "Yan Song sat there, holding a teacup, and said.

"It doesn't make sense. I'm not afraid of the jokes of the two of you. I tried to persuade you in person. I almost didn't get punched by Zhang Hao. If it wasn't for this embarrassing thing, I wouldn't have said it just for the three of us!" Xu Xu Tier also said with a sigh.

"Choose someone, Mr. Lu Ge, there is no other way, or the heads of the three of us will be gone!" Yan Song looked at Lu Ben and said.

"Didn't you give me two days?" Lu Ben said unwillingly.

"In two days, Tu Qiao's funeral will be held the morning after tomorrow. Those heads are here to pay homage to Tu Qiao. That is to say, we have to decide on the candidate tonight. It can't be too far away. We just have to ride a horse for half a day in the capital. can arrive.

And I'm sure it's a corrupt official, I'm sure there's a lot of corruption, and I'm sure other civil servants won't have any objections, that's the way to go! "Yan Song looked at Lu Ben and reminded him.

It was said that it was given for two days, but it was actually one day.

"This Zhang barbarian!" Lu Ben gritted his teeth and said very angrily at this moment, he couldn't help but be angry.

"The people who have lost each other will be recommended by themselves at that time. If they are replaced by the people arranged by the emperor, we will have no choice. Anyway, this is the only way to do it now. Let's choose!" Yan Song sat there and continued to urge them to say .

He was afraid of Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao really dared to kill him.

"Okay, let's choose. One person will choose three, and another person will be proposed. Then we will draw randomly, and we will see who is unlucky!" Xu Jie said, looking at them.

Lu Ben and Yan Song had no choice but to nod.

Soon, ten people were selected. They will arrange for the imperial censor to be impeached early tomorrow morning, and then let the Ministry of Punishment arrest them.

After finishing these things, Xu Jie returned to his house.

As soon as I arrived at the mansion, I saw Xu Fan and Xu Shiyun were still sitting here in the living room, and Mrs. Liang was also sitting there.

"What's wrong?" Xu Jie came in and asked.

"Master, are you okay?" Liang stood up, looked at Xu Jie and asked, and Xu Fan and Xu Shiyun also stood up.

"It's okay, what can I do?" Xu Jie said with a smile.

"Master, we heard that Zhang Hao smashed the desks of the three ministers of your cabinet, and almost killed you. This, Zhang Hao is crazy, you are his father-in-law!" Liang said Said very anxiously.

"Hey!" Xu Jie sighed helplessly when he heard this sentence.

"Father, the people outside say that Tu Qiao was killed by the three of you!" Xu Shiyun looked at Xu Jie and said.

"What did you say?" Xu Jie looked at Xu Shiyun in surprise.

How did he know about this matter, how did the outside world know about it?
"Father, it is said that Tu Qiao died unjustly, a good minister, a Zuodu censor, and a good old man. Unexpectedly, he died for no reason!" Xu Fan stood there and said.

"It was said that the three of us killed it?" Xu Jie stared at Xu Fan and said, probably Xu Shiyun knew because Xu Fan told her.

"Yes, the common people have been saying that, and Jin Yiwei doesn't care about it!" Xu Fan nodded and said.

Xu Jie sat down!

"Father, is Tu Qiao a good official? Zhang Hao is on good terms with him?" Xu Shiyun asked.

"It's a good official. I didn't know he had a good relationship with Tu Qiao before. We only found out today. It's a pity that a good official doesn't last long!" Xu Jie said pretending to be emotional.

There is no way to kill Tuqiao.

According to Tu Qiao's impeachment, many ministers will not survive, and the three of them will be found in the end.

Therefore, Xu Jie also acquiesced in this matter and agreed to Lu Ben and Yan Song's action. No, just nodded, and within a few days, Tu Qiao died.

"Father, you didn't do this, right?" Xu Shiyun continued to ask, and she remembered what Zhang Hao said before.

"Of course not!" Xu Jie immediately stared at Xu Shiyun and said.

"You damn girl, do you believe what is said outside?" Liang Shi also scolded Xu Shiyun.

"Father, if it wasn't for you, then we should investigate. Since Tu Qiao is a good official, he can't die in such a vague way. Otherwise, the people will pass it on forever, and it will damage your reputation!" Xu Shiyun looked at Xu Jie and said.

"The old man knows, well, the old man is tired, go to rest early, what does the court affairs have to do with you!" Xu Jie stood up at this moment, and said to Xu Shiyun and the others.

On Lu Bing's side, Lu Bing has been collecting information, and he also knows that the officials of the fourth and third ranks have all finished their meetings.

Now they are also worried that the cabinet will let them die, so they released such news.

In addition, those officials who are not corrupt are now spreading rumors like this, hoping to overthrow their three mountains and let those officials who are clean go up.

But most of those clean and honest officials are of very low rank. Normally speaking, they can't shake the three elders.

So I just hope that the reputation of the three of them will be damaged through the use of rumors, and I hope Jiajing can obey the public opinion by then!
Therefore, when the two forces united so unintentionally, rumors spread throughout the capital.
