"I don't dare to take what Mr. Tang Ge said." Wang Qing responded slowly, "It's just that as a subject, it's the right thing to share the emperor's worries. If you ask for resignation and put down the picker at every turn, isn't this an embarrassment to the emperor? Or, Tang Ge always Feel guilty?"

Tang Jin's face darkened immediately: "Although the old man is guilty of negligence, his loyalty can be shown to the sun and the moon. How can he say that he has a guilty conscience! They are all veterans of the same dynasty for many years. If Wang Ge has something to say, you can speak it directly without beating around the bush. Pointing at Sang and scolding Huai! The old man wants to see, in front of the Holy Majesty, whether you have evidence for the old man’s guilty conscience!"

In the previously peaceful room, the atmosphere became tense in an instant, and the emperor's face also became a little more serious.Among the five people, Tang and Wang were fighting each other, and because Liu Cong was also one of the ones who asked to resign, he was regarded as one of the targets of Wang Qing, and his expression was obviously on the side of Tang and Jin.Dou Yong and Zhang Yun were very calm, no matter who spoke, the faces of these two people were calm.

The emperor waited for them to stop talking, and then he said: "I haven't finished my words, why did I show the point of attack first? You have been in the ups and downs of the officialdom for many years, it stands to reason that you shouldn't be so restless."

All five heads drooped immediately.

The emperor blew a sip of tea, and said: "Wang Aiqing was a little anxious just now, but there is a saying that is correct. Now is not the time to ask for resignation, but the time for you to work together to share the country's worries. On this point, Tang Aiqing , Liu Aiqing, you two have fallen behind."

Tang Jin and Liu Cong kowtowed to the ground: "Your servant is stupid!"

"Take your seats, you two. Today I tell you that you are not here to absolve your crime. If you want to abdicate, you don't need to waste so much time. Of course, I am happy to see the successful transition of the Liangjiang disaster, but the case of Chang Wei's treason has directly hurt the country. Dear dear friends, don't be careless about this matter. I hope that after you leave the palace and return to the mansion, you will find a way to break the situation, remove the hidden cancerous tumors for the imperial court as soon as possible, and return the country to a clear future. Chang Wei has already killed a Xue Rong, I don't want loyal and virtuous ministers to die by mistake any more."

"I will obey your orders!"

The five court halls bowed together and received the decree.

Files retreated from the imperial garden, without saying a word all the way, until they reached the gate of Donghua, Tang Jin bowed his hands to Zhang Yun who stopped at the gate: "Old Zhang Ge."

Zhang Yun returned the salute first: "Old Tang Ge has been wronged today."

Tang Jin's face was sullen: "This Wang Qing's arrogance is really arrogant. If he becomes the chief assistant, he still doesn't know how to seize power!" At this point, he arched his hands at Zhang Yun again: "Tang is sincere I admire Mr. Zhang Ge's mind and realm, and this position of chief assistant can only be held with such high morals and prestige as Mr. Zhang Ge!"

"Brother Tang is flattering this old man. I'm just a little older than you, and I may not be as talented as you. It's all because you are too humble. You have praised me to such a level, and I feel ashamed."

"Brother Zhang, you don't have to be too humble. Who else has more qualifications than Brother Zhang in the whole court? He Wang Qing is too loud, and his virtue is not worthy! According to me, when the chief minister of the cabinet was changed a few years ago, he It's brother Zhang's job, but it's a pity that brother Zhang is a man of integrity and respects old Jin Ge. Now this position belongs to you!"

"Ashamed and ashamed!" Zhang Yun waved his hands again and again, and then said: "I am waiting for you, brother, but I want to ask, the emperor mentioned the matter of the Chang family earlier, and your official department is responsible for investigating and handling. Have you come to a conclusion?"

Tang Jin clasped his hands together: "Chang Wei's main crime has little to do with the officials. It's nothing more than a conspiracy to collect money, which has already been reported to the palace. My brother, I don't have the original."

Zhang Yun nodded, and then sighed with his hands behind his back: "What happened at the beginning of Chang Wei's case, I just thought it was because he found some tricks out of his own strength, but I didn't expect to find out that it was related to the Xue family's murder case. It is a big matter, and there is also the matter of him colluding with his party members, the emperor summoned you and me into the palace, it is also a beating, you and I must pay attention to it."

"What brother Zhang said is very true. I am planning to return to the Ministry of Officials and investigate all the clues again."

Tang Jin straightened his expression.

Zhang Yun cupped his hands: "Old man, I can't be lazy. Although this case is not much about the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, it is necessary to check for omissions and make up for vacancies. Looking back, I hope that my brother can communicate with each other if there is any need."

"That's natural! As a subject, I should work together to share your worries."

After getting such a decisive reply from Tang Jin, Zhang Yun smiled and said, "Then the old man will go ahead, and we will meet for tea later."

"Brother Zhang, let's go!"

Tang Jin watched him board the carriage and leave the palace, calmed down, and also boarded the carriage parked behind him.

The entourage was puzzled and asked: "Zhang Ge is always the most supportive, why did he take the initiative to talk to the master today?"

Tang Jin sneered softly and said, "Why else? The emperor has hinted very clearly before that if he wants to be the chief assistant, he can't just rely on the credit for the Liangjiang disaster, but also whether he has solved the series of major cases of Chang Wei. Since I have been in this muddy water, I naturally have to let go of myself. I had a dispute with Wang Qing, so it's no wonder he didn't take the opportunity to win me over."

The entourage came to a sudden: "It seems that you are as detached as old Zhang Ge, but you can't escape from the vulgar." He said again: "Is the master optimistic about Zhang Ge? If there is new information, will the master communicate with Zhang Ge?"

Tang Jin's eyes became deep: "Although the old man is not going to curry favor with Zhang Yun, it's just a matter of favor. If the opportunity is right, maybe it's a good thing to do it conveniently."

The follower seemed to understand but nodded.

After the Tang family's carriage drove out of the palace gate, Dou Yong also opened the curtain in the carriage, and cast his eyes into the distance under his slightly condensed eyebrows.

The entourage said: "Master, Mr. Wang Ge and Mr. Liu Ge have also left."

Dou Yong glanced in the direction he was pointing, and put down the curtain.

The entourage said again: "Master, are we going to the Yamen?"

He hummed, and then said: "Come back and follow me into the office, take a post and post it."

"Yes."

……

Han Mo walked into the yard quickly, grabbed the teapot on the table and took a sip of cold tea, and said in the gap of panting: "The emperor has made a move, and today he summoned several elders from the cabinet to make sure there are people behind Chang He. The matter has been revealed face to face!"

Dou Yin, who was looking at the post in his hand, folded the letter in a calm manner, and said: "The emperor's beating will certainly have the effect of fueling the flames. Even if the man in Zhupao is not in the cabinet, he will definitely get wind of it." , Respond with awe." He glanced at Han Mo: "It's time to close the net."

"If you don't close the net again, I will take root in Shuntian Mansion!" Han Mo sat down, picked up the post he had folded to read, and said with a sigh: "You seem to be paying attention to the dispute between the first and the second. How is the situation? gone?"

"The two families of Zhang and Wang are equal." Dou Yin calmly picked up the tea, "Recently, the game of gambling has been fierce. Let's remind Yang You and the others to place less bets."
