Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 422

He Liu turned his head and said to Feng Bao: "Eunuch Feng, you are the auxiliary government. The four of us are all guided by you. I just made a suggestion just now. It is up to you to decide whether to kill Minister Wang or not."

Feng Bao's face turned blue and red for a while.He thought to himself: If Minister Wang is not dead, I, the assistant government, will bear the responsibility of framing the former chief assistant.It's better to do as the sixth brother said, do nothing and keep killing people!
Feng Baodao: "Just do as Master He said! Immediately take Minister Wang to the entrance of the vegetable market and behead him!"

Several chiefs of the Ministry of Punishment brought their servants and escorted Minister Wang to Caishikou.

Hong Shilang took the pen again and wrote down the case file: Minister Wang, a native of Wujin County, Changzhou Prefecture.Jizhou Town tried [-] households.Because of his insanity, he committed the treasonous thing of entering the palace with weapons in his madness.There is no one behind it.After the joint trial of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei, Minister Wang is now being punished.

Feng Bao got involved in the palace with this closed case and reported it to Queen Mother Li.He couldn't figure it out, how could Minister Wang retract the confession temporarily?

Until Feng Bao returned to Dongchang, the prison eunuch told him about the interrogation of Minister Wang by He Liu and Yang Bo.

Feng Bao suddenly realized!It turned out that my sixth brother had messed with old man Yang from the official department!

Feng Bao is not a tolerant person.If you ruin my business, I want yours to look good!

He Liu is very kind to Feng Bao.Feng Bao couldn't do anything to punish his righteous brother.Feng Bao pointed the finger at old Yang Bo.

Old Yang Bo, old Yang Bo, you rely on the old and sell the old all day long, and you don't take me as the assistant government seriously.This time, you ruined my business again!Just wait, from now on, I will definitely let you die without a place to bury you!Anyway, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and you have a lot of errands to do all day long!As long as you do errands, you will inevitably make mistakes!Hmph, when the time comes, I'll catch one or two wrong things you did, and I'll ruin your reputation!

If Feng Bao is a little fox, then old Yang Bo is the ancestor of the old fox!
Yang Bo expected a long time ago that he would offend Feng Bao this time, and Feng Baoding would find fault with him.Forget it, I have been an official for 42 years, so I should go back to my hometown to retire!You, Eunuch Feng, are in power, I can't afford to offend you, can't I hide from you?
On the second day, Chengtian Palace went to court early.

Emperor Wanli sat on the dragon chair and yawned.Empress Dowager Li behind the bead curtain reminded him: "Your Majesty, tell the ministers what I taught you last night."

Emperor Wanli hurriedly said: "Wu Ya will try the case file of Minister Wang. I have already read it! Where is He Liu?"

He Liu hurried out of class and kowtowed: "The minister is here!"

Emperor Wanli said: "Guarding the imperial city is the duty of Jinyiwei. Minister Wang entered the palace with weapons, and you, the governor of Beizhen, cannot escape the guilt! You will be fined half a year's salary as a punishment!"

He Liu kowtowed and said, "Minister, take the order and thank you."

Emperor Wanli said again: "Qi Jiguang, the chief soldier of Jizhen, is not strict in discipline. The cabinet should draft an order to reprimand Qi Jiguang."

The so-called reprimand, to put it bluntly, means no punishment!
If it were another commander in chief of the border town, and his subordinates tried to enter the palace with hundreds of households armed with weapons, they would inevitably be dismissed from office.If they make trouble, they will be sentenced to exile.

The reason why Queen Mother Li didn't punish Qi Jiguang was because Qi Jiguang, a fierce general, was too good at fighting!
Qi Jiguang has experienced more than a hundred battles on land and water for most of his life, without losing a single one.With him guarding the northern border of Ming Dynasty, there is a second Great Wall on the border!
What is the dry city of the country?The fierce brother Qi Jiguang is the leader of the country!
No matter how stupid Empress Dowager Li is, she will not destroy the Great Wall herself.

Emperor Wanli said: "A madman swaggered into the palace with a knife. This matter hurts the face of the court. From now on, no one is allowed to bring up the case of Minister Wang! Violators will be severely punished!"

As soon as Emperor Wanli's words came out, the assassination case of Minister Wang, which caused a sensation in the government and the public, was finally settled!
He Liu breathed a sigh of relief: Gao Gong's life was saved.

Zhang Juzheng said in his heart: Alas, maybe it is really the arch of immortality.I hope that Gao Gong will not jump out again and obstruct the three major new policies that I am about to implement.

He Liu seemed to see through Zhang Juzheng's worries.

He Liu cupped his hands and said, "Report to the emperor, I have something to report."

Emperor Wanli said, "Come on."

He Liudao: "My minister believes that most of the ministers who served as the chief minister of the cabinet have made great contributions to the imperial court."

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Li frowned: He Liu, what do you mean by saying good things about Gao Gong?What has served as the chief minister of the cabinet?Today, there are only two ex-chief ministers of the cabinet alive today, one is Gao Gong and the other is Xu Jie.

What He Liu said next made Empress Dowager Li frowned.He said loudly: "Now that they have retired, the imperial court should send special personnel to strictly protect them! I suggest that the three hundred brocade guards be transferred to Kaifeng, Henan to protect the safety of Gao Gong's old chief assistant. Transfer the three hundred brocade guards to Yingtian Songjiang mansion, Protect the safety of Xu Jie's old Chief Assistant!"

Queen Mother Li was very satisfied.He Liu made it clear that he wanted to see Gao Gong.She hurriedly said to Emperor Wanli: "Your Majesty, please play."

The ten-year-old Tianzi parroted his tongue: "Zuzao!"

He Liu sent 300 people to Kaifeng to monitor Gao Gong and reassure Empress Dowager Li, Feng Bao, Zhang Juzheng and others.Sending 300 people to Songjiang is sincerely to protect Xu Jie.To avoid such a thing as setting fire to the Master's Mansion again.

Emperor Wanli said: "Everyone who loves you, please leave the court if you have nothing to do."

At this time, old Yang Bo came out of the class and said: "I report to the emperor, the old minister is loved by the emperor, and the two generations of the previous emperors love him. He has served the court for 42 years. The northern imperial Hulu, the counselor of military affairs, and the chief of the staff, although there is no Great service, but also worthy of the imperial court. In recent years, veterans have been sick. The pale ones may turn white, and the wavering ones may fall off. The hairy blood is getting weaker and the ambition is getting weaker. I beg the emperor to be merciful, and let the old minister return to his hometown!"

Feng Bao was stunned!Is Yang Bo the roundworm in my stomach?I just wanted to make some troubles against him and make things difficult for him, so he took the initiative to sue him and hide me?

Feng Bao didn't even think about it, Yan Song, Xia Yan, Zhang Cong, Zhai Luan and the chief assistants all had nothing to do with Yang Bo, you want to punish Yang Bo?You are still young!
After all, Yang Bo is a veteran who has served the court for 42 years.After hearing the words, Queen Mother Li secretly wiped her tears behind the bead curtain.She whispered to the emperor: "Yang Bo has made great contributions. Can you ask Mr. Zhang what he thinks?"

Emperor Wanli quickly asked: "Old Yang Aiqing is suing me, what does Mr. Zhang think?"

Zhang Juzheng replied: "Report to the emperor. Old Shangshu Yang has served the imperial court all his life, and he has made great contributions to the imperial court. I think that he should be given the title of retaining the crown prince, and rewarding property, so that he can return to his hometown in fine clothes and enjoy the rest of his life!"

Emperor Wanli said: "Just as Mr. Zhang said. Aiqing Yang is allowed to retain the crown prince Shaobao title and return to his hometown for retirement. In addition, the inner carrier will give him ten thousand taels of silver for retirement!"

All the ministers kowtowed in unison: "The emperor is holy!"
