Chapter 806 The plan to drive away tigers and swallow wolves
one day later.He Fu.

After Zhu Xiang visited the wives of several officials, she hurried back to the mansion.Like telling a joke, he told He Liu about the farce in front of the Yongshou Palace yesterday.

After hearing this, He Liu smiled strangely: "This villain, Zhang Jing, finally did a good deed this time."

Zhu Xiang stared at her father: "Father, can it be said that the ultimate purpose of you instigating the officials and Zhang Jing is to use Zhang Jing's hand to punish those officials?"

He Liu nodded: "Father, this kills two birds with one stone. First, Zhang Jing will become more arrogant and unscrupulous after defeating the seemingly formidable opponent of the Yanguan Group. Second, the group of Yanguan who are full of benevolence and morality in the open, but steal men and women in secret , it's time to be punished!"

Zhu Xiang gasped: "Father, you are too old..."

He Liu said with a smile: "Too treacherous, isn't it? Oh, actually, it is about punishing the Yanguan group. Dad can do it when he is in power. However, I have to think about Zezhen. The Yanguan system was established by the great grandfather. .If a group of Yanguans fall, another batch will be added. If I am against the Yanguan Group, after a hundred years of me, the Yanguans will definitely trouble Zezhen..."

Zhu Xiang slapped his head: "I see, Dad, you always use this... What is the strategy in the art of war that Ru Bai often said, I forgot."

He Liu smiled and said, "It's a plan to drive away tigers and devour wolves."

Zhu Xiang hurriedly said: "That's right. It's the plan to drive away the tiger and swallow the wolf! Zhang Jing is the tiger, and the officials are the swallowed wolves. Dad, you have two nicknames in your life. During the Jiajing Dynasty, the officials secretly I called you He Mad Dog. Later, the officials also called you He Butcher. Today, my daughter will give you a third nickname."

He Liu asked, "Oh? What nickname?"

Zhu Xiang said three words: "He Fox."

He Liu sighed: "Alas, it doesn't matter whether it's a mad dog, a butcher, or a fox. Everything I do in my life is to punish rape and eradicate evil. Unfortunately, I can never get rid of the worst person in the world. Lose!"

Zhu Xiang asked, "Father, who is the worst person in the world?"

He Liu didn't answer, just laughed it off.

Zhu Xiang said: "Father, you always like to play tricks. Well, it would be great if Shizhong was alive. You old fox will be his best teacher."

When Zhu Xiang mentioned He Shizhong, He Liu felt lost.He staggered towards the door, muttering in his mouth as he walked: "Zhang Jing must die, he must die!"

The main hall of Yongshou Palace.

Emperor Wanli woke up and stretched himself.With the help of the maid, he got up from the dragon bed and came to the front hall.

The door of the front hall has been opened.The speakers are gone.The blood that was shed by the beating officer has also been washed away by the little eunuchs with clean water.

Zhang Jing said with a flattering smile, "Your Majesty, are you up?"

Emperor Wanli was a little surprised: "As you said, the bluestone slabs outside the hall are clean!"

Zhang Jing said proudly: "Your Majesty, how dare a servant lie in front of you? You must know that lying in front of the Emperor is deceiving the emperor."

Emperor Wanli asked: "Tell me, what method did you use to drive all the officials out of the palace?"

Zhang Jing cupped his hands and said: "Report to the emperor. Among the one hundred officials who came to Yongshou Palace to kneel and admonish, more than 70 of them committed crimes on weekdays. The slaves asked Wei Zhongxian to summarize their crimes and read them in public. They hit those illegal words again. The official's court stick, and clean up Gangji. Seeing this, the remaining 30 officials also voluntarily withdrew from Yongshou Palace."

Emperor Wanli frowned: "You mean, among the more than 100 speech officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Section Corridor, more than 70 are not clean?"

Zhang Jing said: "Yes, Your Majesty. Those people are involved in this and that all day long. In fact, the most important thing to impeach is themselves!"

Emperor Wanli said: "You are so smart. Just a few days after taking charge of the factory guard, you have found out the illegal affairs of more than 70 speech officials."

Without losing the opportunity, Zhang Jing spoke bad words about He Liu, Wang An, and Chen Ju in Emperor Wanli's ear: "Your Majesty, how can the servants have any skills? In fact, with the huge power of the factory guards, we can find out the pickled things done by the officials. It’s just an easy thing to do. It’s just that some people didn’t want the factory guards and the officials to be enemies, and deliberately indulged those noisy crows.”

Emperor Wanli said: "The 'those people' you mentioned are He Liu, Wang An, and Chen Ju?"

Zhang Jing said: "The emperor is wise."

Emperor Wanli's complexion changed: "Zhang Jing, I remind you that He Liu, Wang An, and Chen Ju have already lost their power. These three people have made many contributions to me over the years, so don't insult them in front of me! "

Zhang Jing quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Yes, Your Majesty, slaves dare not."

Emperor Wanli beat Zhang Jing on purpose: "It's better not to dare to do some things. Only with fear in your heart can you avoid making big mistakes!"

Zhang Jing kowtowed again and said, "My servant respects the teachings of the emperor."

Emperor Wanli stretched his waist: "Wei Zhongxian!"

Wei Zhongxian entered the main hall: "Your Majesty, the slaves are here."

Emperor Wanli asked: "Show me the account book of the inner shipping warehouse. Oh, and bring the emerald abacus too."

Emperor Jiajing was fond of cultivating immortals, Emperor Longqing was lustful, and Emperor Wanli was greedy for money.The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren each have their own problems.Today, the greatest joy of Emperor Wanli is to take the trouble to calculate how much silver and how much gold he has in his inventory.

Zhang Jing asked: "Report to the emperor. The slaves have investigated more than 70 officials today. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, these more than 70 officials should be dismissed. Seventy black yarns are vacant, so we need to find seventy people to wear them again." These black yarn..."

As soon as Zhang Jing said this, the small calculations in the hearts of the gentleman and the maidservant crackled at the same time.

Emperor Wanli thought for a moment and said, "You can figure it out yourself!"

For Emperor Wanli, the noisy speaker made him upset.Zhang Jing is a dog he raises.The trusted officials under this dog will fill in those vacancies, and they will naturally listen to the words of the master, Emperor Wanli, from now on.Therefore, Emperor Wanli became the hands-off shopkeeper, and casually gave Zhang Jing the right to appoint and remove more than 70 officials.

For Zhang Jing, the oral decree of Emperor Wanli was a blessing from heaven!Now Zhang Jing has Lijian, Dongchang, and Jinyiwei in his hands.If 70% of the speech officials are appointed and dismissed, he alone has the final say.Wouldn't the Yanguan Group become Zhang Jing's in the future?In the future, if he sees which official is not pleasing to the eye, he can drive more than 70 speech officials to impeach him like a swarm!This means that Zhang Jing has more than [-] powerful thugs in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Section Corridor!

Zhang Jing thought: Ha!I can be considered over the top!Just lost the three opponents of He Liu, Chen Ju, and Wang An, and now has the four magic weapons of Sili Supervisor, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and Yanguan Group!May I ask who will rule the court in the future?

Stupid Zhang Jing, as He Liu expected, made a big mistake.

Zhang Jing forgot one thing: Daming's court has only one master!That person's surname is Zhu, not Zhang!
