I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 208 Make waves again
Seeing his frightened, hopeless appearance, Li Tian secretly laughed in his heart, "It doesn't matter if you are still handsome, but you are still such a stinky fart, do you really think I am a fool?"

"Okay, don't be so nervous, just speak up if you have anything to say!"

Zhuge Zheng raised his head, looked around, and found that there were no other courtiers in the imperial study room except Huang Yan and Wang Fu, he was greatly relieved.

"Don't dare to hide your majesty. It is precisely because I accidentally found out some important things that I have to use this opportunistic method to attract your majesty's idea. I really have a last resort."

The supervisory censor is responsible for monitoring the words and deeds of officials, impeaching courtiers, and inquiring about the three powers of the court. Although the official position is not big, it is an official position in the court that makes people change their faces.

Zhugezheng, as the supervisory censor, even dared to contradict the emperor's words, what else would he not dare to do, he should have no scruples and dare to speak out.

But he still has to use this method, which shows that what he wants to report may really be a big deal.

Huang Yan had just been ridiculed by Li Tian, ​​and was worrying that he could not save his face. When he heard that another big case might come out, he immediately pricked up his ears, listening very carefully, for fear of missing a word.

Li Tian couldn't help but get serious when he heard the words.

"Everyone here is my people, just say what you want, I promise not to let it out."

Gently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.

Zhuge Zheng said slowly, "The information I want to report today is not only related to Zuodu Censor, but also related to Li Qing, Shangshu of the Ministry of War!"

As soon as these words came out, not only Li Tian frowned slightly, but even Wang Fu and Huang Yan gasped.

A small seventh-rank supervisory censor actually participated in the second of the seven ministers of the current dynasty at the same time. He was either crazy or stupid.

Before the shock of the two of them ended.

Zhuge Zheng then said, "Weichen found out some time ago that Zuodu Yushi may have ordered the servant of the household department to swallow up the grain in Taicang, but at that time Weichen did not find any real evidence after half a month of investigation, and thought it was a matter of catching wind and shadows. , and did not continue to pursue it.”

Li Tian nodded without changing his face, motioning for him to continue.

"But yesterday, I heard that Guo Wenyu, the Minister of Household Department, was arrested for embezzlement of ink officials' food, and Lu Zhen, the censor of Zuodu, was also implicated. Only then did I know that this matter is actually true, and it is not groundless. "

He talked for a long time, but it was all information that Li Tian knew a long time ago. Huang Yan couldn't help but said from the side,

"Emissary Zhuge, Your Majesty knows all about what you said, and there is nothing new!"

Li Tian glared at Huang Yan, and Huang Yan shrank his neck suddenly in fright, not daring to say more.

Zhuge Zheng's face changed slightly, thinking that Li Tian was getting impatient, so he quickly continued,

"Although Weichen didn't find out anything at the time, when he was investigating this matter, he inadvertently found out another shocking news."

"That is, Zuodu Censor sold all the grain from Tanmo to the frontier army at a price slightly lower than the market price. And it was Li Qing, Minister of the Ministry of War, who helped him connect.

Of the stolen money obtained, the Zuodu Yushi got a part, the Minister of the Ministry of War got a part, and the rest went to Guo Shilang who participated in it, and people like warehouse managers. "

"Snapped!"

Li Tian slammed the table. He thought that Guo Wenyu's corruption case would be over by now, but he didn't expect that besides Lu Zhen, there was actually another big fish.

"Li Qing, he is a majestic Minister of the Ministry of War, how could he also participate in it."

"It's such a big joke, my Minister of War actually has to rely on corruption to raise food for the frontier army?"

Huang Yan stood up at the right time and said,
"Your Majesty wants to investigate the Secretary of the Ministry of War?"

Li Tian, ​​who was in a rage, didn't know where to vent his anger. He stared and scolded, "I haven't issued an order yet, why are you in a hurry, just wait for me."

Then he pointed at Zhuge Zheng,

"Zhugezheng, what you said is based on factual evidence. You must know that slanderous accusations against the Minister of the Dynasty will make your head fall."

Zhuge Zheng was considered barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes at this time, so he said with a stiff neck,
"I have no real evidence, but at the time of my investigation, the matter of Guo Shilang and others has not yet been revealed. Since his matter is true, I am afraid that the Zuodu Yushi colluded with the Minister of the Ministry of War. It is not a rumor."

"The reason why this minister was summoned by His Majesty in this way is also because of this."

Hearing him say that there was no evidence, Li Tian was so angry that he almost flipped the table.

What the hell is this? Why are you making this up for me without evidence?Are you kidding me!

Although Zhugezheng had no evidence, Li Tian couldn't blame him.

After all, he is just an imperial envoy and has the right to hear the wind and report.

What is hearing the wind and playing the report, even if it is heard, it can also be seriously reported.

As for the truth, of course Jinyiwei, Youdongchang, Youxingbu, Marble and other real power departments are going to investigate.

However, when Zhuge Zheng pointed out the corruption case, there was actually the shadow of Li Qing, Minister of the Ministry of War, which made him more cautious.

The Minister of War is different from other ministers.

In the Ming Dynasty, the Minister of the Ministry of War was the most powerful in all dynasties.

Although Daming had extremely strict control over military power, and even used eunuchs to control military talismans, he was even more cautious in deploying troops.

But without military power, it does not mean that the minister of the Ministry of War has no rights.

The Ministry of War is in charge of the selection of military officers, rewards and punishments, military status, military equipment, food and grass, military orders, and imprisonment.

It can be said that he, Li Qing, is not only the chief officer of military generals from all over the country, but also their mentor, and even their parents.

If Li Qing conspired with the chief generals of the frontier armies in various places, it would be very easy to conspire.

"Damn it, damn it!"

Li Tiangang held back his anger, and turned the matter of Zhu Rong and others into a trivial matter, and dealt with it lightly. Unexpectedly, there was another minister of the Ministry of War.

At this moment, he really wanted to raise his head to the sky and shout, "Is the whole world still owned by Laozi, or is Laozi just an airplay!"

Even if he became so angry, he still had to deal with what had to be dealt with.

With a livid face, he said to Huang Yan, "You heard it too, I will leave this matter to you and Zhuge Yushi to investigate at the same time, and you must find out for me what role Li Qing played in this matter .”

Glancing at Zhuge Zheng who was in a good mood, he felt impatient, and continued,

"I have only one request for you, to investigate secretly. This time, no news must be leaked. I don't want to make it known to almost the whole city like Guo Wenyu's case."

"The minister obeys the order!"

"The old slave accepts the order!"
