Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 190 Sansi arrives in person!

in the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang came to Jinshen Hall in the afternoon.

He was always like this during this period. He only stayed in Jinshen Hall for an hour or two, and sometimes he didn't even come.

After handing over state affairs to Hu Weiyong, except for some major military and state affairs, he was responsible for the rest. Nowadays, there are more and more private discussions among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

Hu Weiyong and his family also began to become tyrannical in the court.

During this period, many people gave themselves advice, including secret admonitions.

just.

Zhu Yuanzhang put down these memorials and pushed them all aside without even looking at the memorials brought by Prince Zhu Biao himself...

"Father!"

"How could these rumors in the capital reach this level? How dare they be so unscrupulous when they involve the Duke of a country? If it is really the Duke of Wei who was behind this printing plate case, why would he come back?"

Zhu Biao advised earnestly: "I, Ming Dynasty, shouldn't do things like killing donkeys."

Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang became furious.

"Send it in."

"why not?"

But Zhu Biao saw seriousness in his father's eyes.

He felt more and more ridiculous!
"Father, you just let Duke Wei enter the palace not long ago, and you were chatting and laughing. You also know that Duke Wei is sitting in Peiping, which is the Great Wall of Ming Dynasty!"

Who knows.

While talking.

Puzzled, he could only continue to read the memorial.

He then opened the memorial of Chen Ning, the imperial censor, and saw a few words clearly written on it.

My father can slack off, but I can't.

Zhu Biao was furious.

"There is nothing impossible. The Third Division has found out that the counterfeit banknotes that appeared in the West Market this time are among the heirs of these princes. It seems that they have also identified the boys of the Xu family."

"Father!"

When I saw these words, I immediately smiled and looked deep in thought.

When Wang He put down the memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the pile of documents and he couldn't help but said in surprise: "It seems that the harvest is not small."

Hearing this, Zhu Biao quickly opened other files. These were all interrogation records of wealthy households who went to the courtyard that day. Everything was detailed. No wonder there were so many files sent this time.

Wang He hurriedly came to the door and whispered what happened.

It wasn't long before he was immersed in it.

In the past few years of handling government affairs, he has been able to complete small tasks independently many times.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang watched calmly. Zhu Biao probably saw the rumors in the capital today. As for himself...

"Your Majesty, the results of the third department on the printing plate case have been sent over."

As soon as these words came out.

The father and son opened the memorial almost at the same time.

He first skipped those files and opened the results of the Zhao Ting trial in Dali Temple.

Could it be that those emperors in history indulged in enjoying things in their later years, and did my father catch up so quickly?
Of course, as the prince, he knew that there was something hidden in this, but even if it was done deliberately, it would not reach this point...

now.

"Don't you know? If you take advantage of the fact that Duke Wei is back in Beijing and there are so many rumors circulating in the capital, and suddenly go to check on his mansion, let's not talk about what the people outside think, but what do the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty think? "

Seeing this, Zhu Biao had no choice but to think that it was absurd. How long would his father be able to do it? It was only a year later, and he seemed to be a different person.

"Even if you want your fourth brother to go to Peking to become a feudal lord and gain military power, it's not yet time!"

And those who can interrogate have basically investigated even the eighteenth generation of their ancestors.

Zhu Biao just thought it was ridiculous, "Do you really want to give an order?"

"This case involves the Duke, and your Majesty's approval is required before you can enter the government to investigate!"

However, after watching it for a while, Zhu Biao's expression became extremely serious. In the end, he simply dropped the memorial and said angrily: "Impossible!"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know when he stood up and came behind Zhu Biao.

"what?"

And he didn't leave Zhu Biao idle and motioned for him to take a look.

Zhu Yuanzhang cheered up and looked at Zhu Biao who also raised his head in curiosity.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his son, his expression did not change at all.

There were only a few who were not interrogated.

The angry voice seemed to be heard clearly even by the guards on duty outside.

"Presumptuous! It's not your turn to teach us yet!"

"This printing plate case is related to the lifeblood of the country. Anyone who wants to tamper with it must have evil intentions!"

"Now that the evidence from the Third Division is on the record, do you still want us to let them continue?"

"If we don't dig out these moths, our Ming Dynasty will not be able to rest in peace!"

talking.

Zhu Yuanzhang has made up his mind.

"Tell the Third Division to let them not worry and investigate with confidence."

"We have been mentally prepared for a long time. Since even the political advisors we sent to Jiangxi are involved in this printing case, we know very well how much is involved!"

"Let them investigate, let alone a noble person, even if it is a prince, the head of the six ministries, the head of the ministers, once found out, he will be arrested and brought to justice immediately!"

"Yes"

Outside the door, a trembling voice left.

Apparently this had become an order, and all parties quickly dispersed.

After that, there was another quarrel in Jinshen Palace, and even His Highness the Crown Prince himself was driven away because he angered Zhu Yuanzhang!

For a time, everyone in the palace city was as silent as a cicada.

……

"It seems that His Majesty is really angry. Even His Highness the Crown Prince is shocked and angry!"

An hour later.

Zhongshu Province.

The chief officers of the Third Division came to look for Hu Weiyong as soon as they received the holy will.

now.

The three people had different expressions, but they all suppressed the joy in their hearts.

Because they had a premonition that this time, they were about to accept a major case that really shocked the country.

"Yes, according to the news from the palace, the prince is arguing with reason this time, but in the face of real evidence, your majesty still acts impartially."

As Hu Weiyong spoke, he raised his eyes and looked directly at the few people.

"In this case, after waiting for so long, we have almost found the clues that should be found, and the printing plate case should be over."

"You only act based on evidence. Even if you offend some people, you have to bear your own responsibility!"

The three of them came here because of this matter.

Seeing that Hu Weiyong had spoken at this moment, he was immediately surprised.

Zhao Ting, Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment are almost ready to take action.

"in addition……"

Suddenly, Hu Weiyong interrupted.

"Although we have to investigate what needs to be investigated, we must also pay attention to the method. Even if we search the mansion, we must make them careful and not to offend the real nobles."

There are only a few people in this Ming Dynasty who can be called "real nobles" by the Prime Minister.

When several people heard this, they all nodded.

"Also... take advantage of the opportunity to deal with the annoying Su family father and son? Last time, there was no conclusive evidence. The death-free treasure banknote saved his father's life."

"But this time, as long as it involves a major case, find out what those people are doing in Peking with the printing plates, and who are they doing business with? Are they collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, or are they smuggling with Beiyuan? Are they having evil intentions?"

now.

Every time Hu Weiyong said something, the three of them could almost feel the surging malice.

The Prime Minister's meaning is already obvious. If it was really what they did, then of course the high status of the country and some money would not be in their eyes, only more important things.

now.

Zhao Ting of Dali Temple was already so excited that he couldn't control himself.

The position of Shaoqing is high or low, but if this big case is completed, it won't be far away.

Speaking of recent events, he can at least occupy some of the mainstream voices within the country.

"Prime Minister, I'll take my leave first and go check it out!"

"Ok!"

Hu Weiyong nodded, he had already given the instructions that needed to be given, now it was time to see the final result.

Wait until they leave.

Hu Weiyong couldn't help but stand up. He suppressed his heart that was gradually speeding up.

Once upon a time, when dealing with Liu Bowen, he only felt that an unsightly obstacle had been removed, and he was not so excited, but now, he could clearly feel his accelerated heartbeat.

That's the feeling you get after getting rid of a serious problem in your heart and truly sitting in court.

"Prime Minister!"

At this moment, Li You couldn't help but said happily: "Congratulations, Prime Minister."

"It's too early to say congratulations."

"Have you done everything I asked you to do?" Hu Weiyong asked.

"They will definitely gain something this time." Li You said firmly. Suddenly he seemed to think of something and continued: "By the way, Prime Minister, today is a double happiness."

"Huh?" Hu Weiyong turned around.

"The young master also found the place where the colored glaze was made privately. As expected, the colored glaze that has been regarded as a rare treasure in the world by other people was probably made by himself and came to defraud me of the Ming Dynasty's money."

"It can be seen that this shopping town is not all good, but also bad!"

"And this time in the West Market, I saw counterfeit banknotes again, and I saw someone using fake glass to defraud me of the hard work I earned from the great Ming Dynasty. It can be seen that there must be someone with evil intentions behind this."

"Otherwise, how could it be that you are now in this situation, only to be discovered by Young Master accidentally?"

Just started.

Hu Weiyong didn't take it seriously when he heard this "joy".

After all, this is a trivial matter no matter how you look at it. In the past, it might make you laugh a little, but now it is not worthy of your attention at all.

However, after hearing Li You's last words.

He couldn't help but laugh again, some things were big or small.

Perhaps this fake colored glaze can be seen as the greed of the people.

But if it becomes bigger, it won’t just stop there.

"It seems that Xiaocheng has also helped the original father invisibly. You also send people to seal off the place where glaze is fired as soon as possible that Xiaocheng discovered."

"Currently, all available charges cannot be spared."

"Yes!" After hearing this, Li You left immediately.

And when he was the only one left in the whole room.

Only then did Hu Weiyong stand up, with a smile on his face.

But he couldn't hide it no matter what.

"Our luck has arrived. God is helping us."

……

The third division acted very quickly.

This day.

Officials from the three departments immediately went to various mansions.

Xiping Houmu's Mansion, Ying Guogong Fu's Mansion, Song Guogong Feng's Mansion...

In the past, the mansion, which in the eyes of the people of the Ming Dynasty was unattainable, was surrounded by the officers of the three divisions early on.

And soon, the housekeepers in their respective mansions came forward first. After consultations with no results, the mistress led the eldest son to come forward.

When he heard that his son had gone to the Western Market a few days ago, and that the printing plate case had also affected his family, the Holy Father even personally ordered that an investigation should be carried out.

Almost everyone realized that real trouble was coming.

Some people ignored him and refused directly, shouting that they wanted to meet His Majesty in person. In response, the officers of the Third Division were decisive and tough...

He said that if he refused, it would be deemed that the government was involved in the counterfeit money, and he would report the truth truthfully.

As soon as these words came out, they became even more angry.

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more anxious, Chen Ning, the censor doctor, finally came forward and promised to take out the colored glaze that the young masters from each family had bought that day.

Check the price to see if it is the same as what they found, if what they said is true, and if there is a large difference between the quantity and the counterfeit money seized.

It can be considered that it has been verified.

Since it is just a question, the nobles of each family will not be embarrassed.

after all.

They were following His Majesty's orders.

Otherwise, if the Third Division makes its own decisions, even if the Prime Minister comes here in person, he will have to consider the hidden danger of upsetting so many nobles.

And an "inquiry" turned out to be just an inquiry.

After learning the "truth", the Minister of Punishment even came to express his gratitude in person, saying that all this was for the sake of state affairs and that His Majesty personally ordered it, so please don't blame me.

And when the nobles saw that they had come in large numbers and left without finding anything, they would naturally not be troubled.

just.

After watching the three groups of people go to various mansions, for some reason, they still felt that an aura of imminent rain almost enveloped the entire Ming Dynasty.

And next.

It is Changfu.

However, the strange thing is that the three groups of people didn't even come to Chang Mansion at all. They just asked some people randomly on the way and didn't go.

He just passed the mansion with the crown princess.

After all, no one is a fool. Even if he has his own life, he would not dare to interfere with someone else's daughter-in-law's territory.

Not to mention, Chang Mansion only has one name left in its power in the army.

Not even real power.

No one really thinks that such a mansion has anything to do with counterfeit money.

quickly!

The Duke's Mansion of the State of Wei.

The three groups of people, this time, were really huge, almost gathered together.

And all the way to Solai.

The people of the Ming Dynasty who were watching all saw this.

By this time, the sun had begun to set.

But the enthusiasm of the people has not diminished at all, but because of some rumors and quick flashes about them in other mansions.

Falling into a lot of speculation.

Especially when they saw that other mansions were basically a procession. They just asked briefly before leaving.

When they arrived at Wei Guogong's residence, people from three departments gathered together.

Zhao Ting, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Shen Liben, the Minister of Punishment, and Chen Ning, the imperial censor.

The three of them even arrived in person, and the meaning of this was simply hard to guess.

"This is trouble! It's really trouble!"

"I think so. Are the recent rumors in the capital really going to come to an end? Hiss...it doesn't make sense. Is this Wei Guogong really related to the printing plate case?"

"That's right. Although Wei Guogong is not a great leader, he can still be regarded as a flag in the Ming army. Do you think this was done intentionally by His Majesty, or is it really his evil intention?"

At this moment, there were frequent discussions among the crowd.

What was discussed would send shivers down the spines of almost everyone.

And at this time.

Zhao Ting, the young minister of Dali Temple, stepped forward in person and looked at the Duke of Wei's mansion in front of him.

"The Third Division is investigating the case and please ask the Duke to come out and explain it!"
