Amid the eunuch's report, Gu Bingqian and his group came to the imperial study room.

Now it is the eighth year of Tianqi, and the situation in the cabinet has changed a little. After Huang Liji stepped down, Zhu Youxiao re-activated Zhu Guozhen and Han Du, two old men who had previously resigned.

Han Yu and Zhu Guozhen are also considered old ministers. A few years ago, they were caught because they fought with our Eunuch Wei too hard, and now they have been called back by Zhu Youxiao. Zhu Youxiao's attitude once made Wei Zhongxian feel a little unhappy. He finally got these two thorns back to his hometown to eat sweet potatoes, but now his boss has brought them to the cabinet again. Isn't this clear that he wants to balance himself?

"I'm going to see Your Majesty!"

"Your dear, please be calm!"

Several cabinet masters stood up after saluting.

Zhu You proofread the little eunuch beside him and said, "Come... I'll give you a seat to several cabinet masters!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After all the people sat down, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Several dear friends came to find me together. Could it be that they came to investigate the business affairs of Jiangning Hou and Tian Ergeng in Shaoxing?"

Several cabinet masters looked at each other, and Gu Bingqian smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty is like a god. I am here for this."

While the few people were talking, Wei Zhongxian looked outside the door expressionlessly, as if he had nothing to do with himself. After all, although he was the majestic Nine Thousand Years in front of outsiders, he was just a slave when facing Zhu Youxiao. The emperor had the right to kill and kill the eunuchs. This is also the main reason why emperors of the Ming Dynasty liked to appoint eunuchs. In addition to using eunuchs to check and balance the civil servant group, easy control is also the most important reason.

However, although Wei Zhongxian had no expression on his face, he sneered in his heart: "Don't these literati shouted to be righteous all day long, but they were just a group of people who were greedy for money and fame, including 18 million taels of silver and various gold, silver and jewelry, antiques, real estate, shops, and even gods were moved when they saw it. These people were not now running like dogs who smelled the smell of shit."

At this time, Wei Zhongxian looked at the several elders in red robes sitting upright in front of the Long Case, and suddenly felt like everyone was drunk and I was awake. Even a hint of sarcastic look appeared in his eyes.

Zhu Youxiao was pretending to be surprised and asked: "The matter in Shaoxing Prefecture is already very clear. The merchants actually colluded with the prefect of Shaoxing to kill hundreds of Jinyiwei. Such evil deeds are no different from rebellion. Do you want to plead for those merchants?"

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian almost laughed out loud. He didn't expect that the emperor, who was always serious, would use this method to criticize people. His expression was still so serious, but it still made people laugh.

After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Gu Bingqian's face turned red, coughed lightly and turned to look at the people beside him. The meaning was very obvious. You can't always let me stand in front of you alone, you should say something.

Han Du (kuang's fourth voice) bowed helplessly: "Your Majesty... I... I did come for the Shaoxing Prefecture, but it was not for those merchants who pleaded for mercy. Those merchants dared to kill the emperor's personal army, and even death was not enough to redeem their crimes. I came this time for the silver that the Marquis of Jiangning was searched."
