Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 588
Wang Tong clearly stated his opinion, Zou Yi pondered for a while, clapped his hands together, and said:
"It's time to do a ruthless investigation. Long Live Lord's mind should be determined. Come to Brother Wang and ask, and ask for everything!"

After finishing this sentence, Zou Yi lowered his voice and said:
"Brother Wang, Eunuch Zhang also said hello. Although Datong is being investigated this time for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji, it is hard to keep the Queen Mother from getting angry. Everyone will suffer. I am afraid... I am afraid it is the Long Live Lord's side." It’s not going to be good, we have to be prepared.”

Wang Tong nodded. He really didn't have a very accurate judgment on how much the Empress Dowager would weigh between protecting King Lu and the safety of the country, and he had to be prepared to bear anger and punishment.

"Brother Zou, we've realized that it's been almost five years now. During the past five years, we have been fighting with the Sanyang Sect and this untouchable thief. In the past, things only happened once a year, but since the end of last year until now, how many things have happened? , The other party moves so frequently, what does it mean, I am afraid that there is going to be a big move."

Zou Yi is in the Department of Public Security, and his position is the point where information converges. He understands a lot naturally. He also nodded in agreement with Wang Tong's judgment. Wang Tong said again:
"We still can't figure out the details of the other party, but let the other party act like this, we have to do something, at least to disrupt the steps of the thieves, the Yu family in Shanxi is our only clear clue, since we have the opportunity this time , Just follow this clue and dig down to see if we can dig out something deeper. The court will investigate, and the thieves will definitely be on guard. They will spend more energy on Shanxi and less on other places!"

Seeing Zou Yi nod his head solemnly, Wang Tong said coldly:
"Since four years ago, we have been fighting invisible thieves. We broke their wealth time and time again, and killed an unknown number of them. They should not be able to hold on anymore. This time we will dig out their roots. !"

*************
Datong Bianjiang colluded with Shanxi merchants to make huge profits by selling salt and iron, and killed his colleagues privately. His intentions were wrong, and the Bianzhen government must not lose anything. Please investigate and deal with it quickly.

This memorial is the memorial of a censor from the procuratorate. Everyone knows that a small rumor official does not have the guts to move such a huge monster as Datong Bianzhen, let alone the honorable Yongsheng uncle in it. For the Yu family, this trip to the shuffle was most likely ordered by a certain boss.

After receiving the memorial, the Supervisor of Rituals immediately copied two copies, one was sent to Emperor Wanli, and the other was brought directly by Feng Bao to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and presented to the Empress Dowager Li.

It was the eighteenth day of March, when Feng Bao delivered the booklet, the wife of Li Wenquan, the prince of the Marquis of Wuqing, who was the sister-in-law of the Empress Dowager Li, was chatting with the Empress Dowager Li in the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

Being in a high position, many things can be understood without saying anything. Seeing Feng Bao's expression, Shi Zi's wife left knowingly and left. As soon as he left, Feng Bao immediately handed the booklet to Queen Mother Li.

"Absurd! Absurd!!"

Empress Dowager Li browsed through it, threw the notebook aside casually, and said a few words in anger, but Feng Bao didn't make a sound, just stood aside with a bow.

After talking about the absurdity, Empress Dowager Li was quiet for a while, picked up the memorial and opened it again. The more she looked at it, the more cautious she looked, and she said in a low voice:

"Feng Bao, what do you think?"

"Responding to the words of the Empress Dowager, I will be doing salt and iron business with the Tartars. Except for Ji Town on the Nine Sides... maybe the Xuan Mansion can also be dug out. There are other places. During the Taiping Festival, the warriors' minds are all about money. On the goods..."

Feng Bao said carefully, and Empress Dowager Li said calmly:
"The Ai family knows this. What the Ai family asked about was the crime of murdering colleagues and having misconduct. Even if they killed more than [-] officers and soldiers outside the border wall, this is a bold and reckless act. The Yu family has nothing short of prosperity and wealth. , go outside to earn some money, Aijia thinks it is possible, why did he want to kill people?"

Hearing the Queen Mother's question, Feng Bao bowed and replied:

"Empress Dowager, according to the memorial, maybe I saw someone I shouldn't see, and broke something ulterior motives, which brought about my death."

"Can the word 'perhaps' be used to frame the emperor's relatives? People who shouldn't be seen, things that should not be told, are serious crimes. Does the supervisory censor have too much commentary on dramas?"

Feng Bao frowned slightly, then bowed again and replied:
"If the empress dowager thinks something is wrong, the servants will send someone to investigate carefully, and ask the empress dowager to tell the Lord Long Live that he will not be released. The censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the servants will also send people to investigate and reprimand... "

"Jinxiu, keep you here, everyone else goes out!"

Empress Dowager Li did not answer this sentence, but said something to the female officials who served her personally. All the maids and eunuchs who served in the palace retreated. Empress Dowager Li sighed and said in a low voice:

"Feng Bao, just send someone to find out if this memorial is aimed at King Lu. You don't need to do anything else. This memorial was originally read by the emperor and dealt with there..."

Feng Bao bowed to accept the order again. Empress Dowager Li looked rather complicated at first, but she soon calmed down. Just as she was about to speak, she heard an announcement from outside, "Your Majesty is here~~~", Empress Dowager Li looked even calmer, and just spoke said:
"Please come in, Your Majesty, Feng Bao, you also stay here, and listen to what your Majesty has to say?"

Emperor Wanli walked into the hall, was greeted by Jinxiu and Feng Bao, and greeted the Cisheng Empress Dowager Li, got up and said:
"The emperor's son came to see the queen mother, and he came here for the booklet from the border town of Datong."

Unexpectedly, Emperor Wanli spoke so straight to the point, Empress Dowager Li was a little taken aback, and then said calmly:

"The Ai family has just heard about this, I don't know how the emperor plans to deal with it?"

"I don't want to hide it from my mother, this script was arranged by the emperor to play."

Sitting on the chair, Emperor Wanli leaned forward slightly, with his head lowered halfway, and he acted like a younger generation meeting an elder. He was full of air when he spoke. After saying these words, the hall was obviously quiet for a while, and Emperor Wanli did not make a sound. After another meeting, Empress Dowager Li said slowly:

"Since the emperor arranged for someone to play, then the emperor arranged for someone to deal with it, why bother to inform Ai's family?

There was a thorn in the words, but Emperor Wanli remained expressionless, stood up from his chair, and said solemnly:
"Mother, this Zhezi participated in the impeachment of Yu Siqiang, the general who guards the left guard of Datong. Yu Siqiang is the youngest son of Uncle Yongsheng, who has something to do with Yiliu. Although this matter is about the border town, it involves Going to Tian's house will involve the emperor's son and King Lu, so I have to come and inform the empress."

Empress Dowager Li gave a faint "Oh" and asked slowly:
"Since this is the case, Ai's family has also read this memorial about how the emperor will deal with it. The words are vague, and the description is ambiguous. I don't know how credible it is."

"Mother, the emperor is very cautious about anything related to King Lu, for fear of being alienated from the relationship between the brothers. Ma Dong reported this matter first. Although he did not have full physical evidence in his hand, there were witnesses. Although what was said is now vague, but there are coincidences in various official documents, the matter is of great importance, and the emperor has to investigate."

Having said that, Emperor Wanli stepped forward, raised his voice two points, and said loudly:

"The land of the nine borders is the barrier of the country. If one place is in chaos, the door will open wide, and if one place is unstable, the country will be unstable. If it involves the guarding generals, you must be more careful. Even rumors should be investigated. If it is not a rumor, you will be trusted If you don't check, the Yu family has served as the commander in chief of Datong, but from the beginning of Yu Yuan to the current Yu Siqiang, he has been operating in Shanxi of Datong for many years. If there is nothing to do, it's all right. If something happens, the Yu family has frontier soldiers in their hands, and they can coerce and incite the armies of Datong, not to mention that the north of Datong is where most of us are entrenched. Misfortune, mother, the emperor is responsible for the Ming Dynasty, the emperor remembers the brotherhood, and the country entrusted by the ancestors, the emperor remembers even more!"

After talking eloquently, Emperor Wanli actually knelt on the ground, staring up at the Cisheng Empress Dowager Li, Jinxiu and Feng Bao who were beside him hurriedly moved away, for fear of being impolite.

Empress Dowager Li's face was tense, looking at the extremely determined expression of Emperor Wanli, at some point, the childishness on that face had dissipated without a trace, from this face, Empress Dowager Li could vaguely see the shadow of Emperor Longqing, the tense expression of Empress Dowager Cisheng , slowly eased down, and said softly:
"Since the emperor has already made up his mind, let's arrange the following to do it!"

"Mother!?"

Emperor Wanli yelled again. Empress Dowager Li's tone was gentle, but the meaning was not necessarily as serious as he wanted. If you don't ask, God knows what else is up for grabs. Seeing that Emperor Wanli was a little anxious, he asked again. , Empress Dowager Li smiled, then put away her smile, and said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty is right. A family is nothing compared to the Daming Sheji. Even though they are engaged, they are not married after all. At worst, they can just choose another one from Yiliu!"

Emperor Wanli was stunned for a moment, and bowed solemnly.

In the last ten days of March, Emperor Wanli issued a decree and heard a secret report from the local area, saying that the Datong town would collude with the Tartars and kill the officers and soldiers of the town.

There is a statement in the decree that "a few people heard it, and they were shocked. Datong border town, but the great tomorrow will be under", this is the most powerful tone in the decree since the first year of Wanli.

Everyone knew that Datong Town was about to face a storm, and no one dared to say anything, they could only follow through. The supervisor of ceremonies approved the red, which means that the Queen Mother, Feng Bao, Zhang Juzheng and Emperor Wanli have reached a unified opinion.

In the room where the eunuch was supervised by the horse inspector, Lin Shulu seemed to have just woken up, with a dazed expression, looking at Shuangxi who was full of sadness and concern in front of him, he shook his head and said softly:
"I slept so well just now, I actually dreamed of our two younger brothers..."

"Second master, third master also misses master."

Lin Shulu didn't make a sound, he was just lost in thought.
