Since he was able to become the Zuodu Censor, in addition to implementing every command of Zhang Juzheng very firmly and paying close attention to whether there will be those dead-hard elements in the Censorate, Chen Xu is of course a very good talkative and very combat-oriented person, especially in front of Zhang Juzheng.

At this moment, seeing the expression of Zhang Juzheng, the assistant to the cabinet and Fang Fengshi, the Minister of War, clearly agreed to his words, Chen Xu was greatly inspired and immediately said passionately: "So, Guangmao proposed that Tao Chengku, for the crime of killing and surrendering Tao Chengku, for the pretext of falsely reporting the victory, and for the crime of Li Chengliang and other Liaodong military officials who were rewarded before the punishment, this is very inappropriate!

An Jiudi proposed that Tao Chengku be demoted to the third rank. Thirty-seven people who had previously praised the meritorious service were removed from the promotion level he had previously awarded. Liang Menglong, Governor of Ji Liao, Zhou Yong, Governor of Liaodong, Li Chengliang, General of Liaodong, and others allowed them to quit their original grace. As for the rewards to the soldiers in the army, they would be exempted from pursuit. This is the way for long-term peace and stability in Liaodong!"

Guangmao was naturally very angry about Tao Chengku's obvious preference for the Anjiudi side, and even citing the personal defense of Liang Menglong, the governor of Ji Liao and Zhou Yong, the governor of Liaodong, as an example.

However, among the participants today, Cheng Naixuan's memorial had just been transferred to the Sixth Corridor, and he had a tit-for-tat attitude with him for a while. Zhang Juzheng had always admired Li Chengliang and knew that he would not stand on his side. Although Fang Fengshi, the Minister of War, was once as famous as Wang Chonggu, he had said a lot of good things for the Liaodong victory before and benefited from the military achievements. Since the news of the great victory spread, he has been defending Tao Chengku. In the huge Wenhua Hall, he was actually fighting alone!

For a moment, Guangmao couldn't help but bet on the high throne, and a trace of luck arose in his heart.

The emperor has just taken power for a while, maybe he hopes to build his prestige through this matter?

Compared to Guangmao's eagerness, Zhu Yijun, who had always been sitting upright in accordance with etiquette, was even more upset and uneasy at this moment.

Two days ago, Tian Yi, the head of the Silijianwenwen Office, returned to the palace to see him anxiously, and secretly told someone to inform Feng Bao that he wanted to lie about the victory and great war in Liaodong, which was so shocked that he almost angrily won the title. Although the last time he exaggerated Zhang Juzheng's sedan chair due to rumors, he immediately drove Zhang Jing and Zhang Cheng away the two eunuchs who were promoted out of the Qianqing Palace, and then he was angry with several other close servants in anger. Now he was carefully selected by the people around him again. But before he could get used to it, he learned such a news that shocked and angry. How could he not be angry?

If Tian Yi had not tried hard to persuade him to be patient for the time being, and said that it would be better to wait until the matter was settled before being stabbed in front of Empress Dowager Li, he would have to find another excuse to replace the people inside and outside the Qianqing Palace. So, when he learned that Wang Fulin could persuade Zhang Juzheng to take a compromise approach so that he, the emperor, could establish his authority in a small way, Zhu Yijun would make a quick decision and let Tian Yi take his handbook out.

In order not to give Empress Dowager Li time to intervene, he ordered Zhang Hong and Tian Yi to pay attention to the memorials and question books below. When Cheng Naixuan's memorials were sent out yesterday evening, after he read them, he was now similar to the proposals Wang Fulin asked Tian Yi to report to him. He immediately became energetic. Today, on the grounds that Guangmao and An Jiuyu and Cheng Naixuan had all written to the book, he summoned relevant people to Wenhua Palace, intending to cut the mess quickly and finalize the matter.

The only thing that made Zhu Yijun worried was that he originally planned to summon Wang Fulin to join him, but whether he asked Tian Yi for inquiries or Zhang Hong, both of them said that although Wang Fulin received the saint order to expose Ning's true face, he had never personally checked the matter of killing and surrendering and making excuses. It was unreasonable to summon people to come. So he could only settle for the second best, secretly hoping that Cheng Naixuan, recommended by Wang Fulin, could have the combat effectiveness of Wang Fulin, and Wang Fulin could really persuade Zhang Juzheng to make concessions like his promise to Tian Yi, so that he, the emperor, could establish his prestige.

As the youngest and least experienced person among the people present, in this small and high-level situation, Cheng Naixuan, the eldest son of Cheng Cheng, naturally felt very stressed. After all, although he had to attend many occasions as the six-college corridor, court, court, and imperial lectures, this was the first time he had met a saint in close proximity in his life. If he followed the experiences of his elders and predecessors, he should maintain a cautious restraint attitude. But seeing Guangmao's face that had turned gray and the free eyes under the calm appearance of the little emperor, he developed an indescribable fighting spirit.

"Your Majesty, I just submitted the memorial yesterday. Now that Guangduan has already stated his words, Chen Zongxian also made a statement on behalf of the Liaodong Inspector An Jiudi, I would like to say a few words based on the previous memorial. Tao Chengku was greedy for merit and attacked the thief, and the evidence was conclusive. The only difference was whether the person who came to surrender was true or false, so it was too serious to punish him with the law of killing surrender. After all, if there were people who came to surrender, they would immediately send him to the general and convey it to the court. He was greedy for the surrender to take money and property, so he killed and injured people, and forced those who fled in the middle of the journey, and beheaded."

"But if it is because of the secret plan of the Taining tribe, and the situation is used to frame the two generals of Liaodong and Jizhen, which makes the Ji Liao army generals panic, so they will be relieved by Tao Chengkuo from being lighter and only sentenced to him to be demoted to three levels in a row, then it is too light. As long as the rumors of Hai or others killing him, no more enemy bandits dare to surrender on the frontier, and if there is any war in the future, the enemy bandits will fight to the last one, and there will be no surrender! Therefore, Tao Chengkuo should be severely punished and then discuss his crime after being dismissed. I agree to Guang for advice."

After setting a tone for himself, Cheng Naixuan said more and more passionately: "When the commander gave the command, the other officers and soldiers under his command had no room for doubt. Therefore, because Tao Chengqiu's fault, he criticized other generals and soldiers in his army, and that would be over. The deputy generals and generals who went up further, Li Chengliang, and others, saw the clerks and the level of beheading, chose to win the victory as soon as possible, but in the end, the crime of being in prison, the court allowed them to resign from the original reward, and the rewards given to other soldiers in the army were exempted from pursuit. This is my opinion that the Liaodong inspector An Jiudi."

Although it seems that he is good at everything, no one who reads the report from Naixuan, who is the one who is writing a report from Naixuan, thinks that this guy will be good at everything at this time. Sure enough, the next moment, Cheng Naixuan raised his voice and said, "But when I both advised me and Guang to go to Liaodong to investigate this matter, the general of Liaodong Li Chengliang and others were still convenient for the inspection, and even sent someone to escort the person who appeared in Guangdu to Shanhaiguan. However, someone in Liaodong secretly misled the investigation because of accepting bribes from Tao Chengku, and moved the army to defend Tao Chengku and even complained about the injustice, and disturbed the rhythm of the investigation several times. And this person is what the report said in Liaodong's Taipu Temple Minister Yuan Bi!"

Guangmao became more and more excited when he saw Cheng Naixuan talking, and even clenched his fists. It seemed that the young and strong faction who was more radical than Guangmao completely ignored him. Guangmao was the one who planned to take away Tao Chengqi and make a big move in the Liaodong army, either to punish or punish ten or eight middle- and high-level officers. Cheng Naixuan only asked to remove two people, one civil and one military officers.

However, when Cheng Naixuan continued to present facts and reason, concealed Tao Chengqi's deceiving superiors and subordinates, Yuan Bi's personal pockets, and his despicable and shameless people to obstruct them all, he realized that when he was in Liaodong before, Cheng Naixuan had always been quite low-key, and even made him feel afraid of being honest. These are actually illusions. When he didn't notice it at all, this new new science department found that he hadn't seen anything at all.

He didn't expect that the person who stumped them would be Yuan Bi!

In the end, Mr. Cheng, who had been serving as a staff member for less than a year, bowed deeply and said in an extremely calm tone: "After Guangduan arrived in Liaodong, he tried his best to investigate the victory of Changding Fort. As an assistant, I was a little leisurely at most. Then I settled down and secretly investigated the obstructionist, and even put some effort into the Liaodong officialdom. Guangduan believed that treating serious illnesses requires strong medicine, but I believed that treating a big country is like cooking a small fruit. You just need to dig out the rotten parts first, instead of digging out the good parts! But since you dig, you cannot favor one or the other!"

Even though Zhang Juzheng had no expression on his face and was in a bad mood at this moment, he still couldn't help but laugh at him secretly after hearing this.

What a familiar Wang's theory! It turns out that he wore a pair of pants with Wang Fulin!

"This is very true."

After Cheng Naixuan's statement ended, when this sudden voice sounded, the huge Wenhua Palace was silent. Did the emperor actually agree?

Whether it is Guangmao or Chen Yu, or Fang Fengshi, the Minister of War, who had never spoken, all looked at Emperor Wanli on the imperial throne in shock, and even felt a little hallucinated just now. Although the young emperor had participated in similar important court discussions several times since he took power, he rarely expressed his opinions. Today, he actually responded to a small-scale slander in the matter?

Even Zhang Juzheng, who had already expected it, saw Wang Fulin's words become reality, he still sighed deeply in his heart. In a quiet and stiff atmosphere, he spoke: "Tao Chengku's dismissal and investigated were the right thing to do. Even though Yuan Bi had made great contributions before, he was greedy for bribery, lustful, despicable and shameless, and should be severely punished."

Will Zhang Juzheng actually agree to punish the civil and military officials in Liaodong? Chen Xu was shocked. When he saw Fang Fengshi, he was also caught off guard. He suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong today, but now the emperor and Fu actually reached an agreement. He, the left censor, dared not continue to fight anyway, and he felt so uncomfortable.

Fang Fengshi knew that Chen Yu had always been Zhang Juzheng's lackeys, but he was unwilling to be the Minister of the Shangshu but was a vassal. At this time, he couldn't figure out whether it was Zhang Juzheng who influenced the emperor or the emperor convinced Zhang Juzheng. He felt that if he had said nothing today, the court discussion would be in vain. He immediately said tactfully: "Emperor, Yuan Fu, it is okay to punish Tao Chengku and Yuan Bi in Liaodong, but it should not be in the present. What's more, whether it was Guangduan and Cheng's admonition, or the An Xunguan's remarks submitted by Chen Zongxian, it all showed that there was no evidence to prove whether the so-called herders of the Chahaner tribe were really surrendered or fake surrendered."

Cheng Naixuan glanced at Fang Fengshi and waited for him to pause, he said slowly: "Fangbutang, the official just now, said it very clearly. The Ming Dynasty law has a clear statement. Whether it is a real surrender or a fake surrender, Tao Chengqi's handling of this is wrong. If there are many people coming to surrender, he should send someone to escort to the general and transfer it to the court. If there are few people coming to surrender, they should transfer everything properly immediately. There is no reason why he, a guerrilla general, handle it without authorization. In the past, Altan's grandson surrendered Hannaji. If Fangbutang killed him, how could he have relied on a mere gang of Hannaji and played with tens of thousands of troops in his palm?"

Fang Fengshi didn't expect that Cheng Naixuan would use his most proud achievement to block his mouth. His chest was choked, angry and annoyed. But at this time, he heard Zhu Yijun say seriously: "Yes, if Fang Qing was like Tao Chengku, who only knew the small profits of killing and surrendering in front of him, how could he be granted a tribute to Altan, and how could he be peaceful in the northwest? Since Mr. Zhang, Yuanfu, also agreed to punish Tao Chengku and Yuan Bi, he dismissed the two and brought them to the capital for investigation. As for the vacancy left by Tao Chengku, Li Chengliang, the general of Liaodong, was recommended first, and Yuan Bi's position was filled as soon as possible."

Since Zhang Juzheng is willing to agree with him as the emperor, he will give Zhang Juzheng more face.

Although only a few people participated in the court discussion in Wenhua Hall, and no one was talking too much, there were still a large number of low-level eunuchs in Wenhua Hall at that time. With the intention of indulging, even Guangmao and Cheng Naixuan, the second person involved, had never even left the Six-Cornered Gallery, the passage was still spread out at the first time. Even Zhang Siwei, who had been swallowing his anger for the past two or three months, could vaguely detect the undercurrent behind him. As for Zhang Juzheng, who was the assistant, he left the cabinet early that day and went home. But before he could sit in the study, his eldest son Zhang Jingxiu knocked on the door and came in.

Zhang Jingxiu didn't know the incident in Wenhua Palace today. After entering, he saw Zhang Juzheng's face was exhausted. He hesitated for a moment, then went up and presented something with his hands: "Father, this was sent by Wang Shiqing at noon today."

Zhang Juzheng felt a sudden slap in his heart. When he took it and took it, his eyebrows suddenly stood up, and suddenly he threw the thing on the desk angrily. After a long time, he found Zhang Jingxiu standing there in a daze, and couldn't help feeling a little upset: "You go out and let me calm down first."
