"Your Majesty, the Chief Assistant has arrived with a memorial."
The emperor glanced at Su Yizhao and said, "Are you so sure? Then let's make a bet."
"If you win, I will give you a village. If I win, how about you give me ten thousand taels of silver?"
When Su Yizhao heard this, he just wanted to laugh. How shameless? You actually asked the minister for money. How can you, the emperor, be so poor?
"Then it depends on the Emperor. Your Majesty speaks with sincerity, and naturally I will keep my word to the letter."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction and was about to call Xu Luo to bring the people in, but Su Yizhao said that he wanted to avoid it first.
The emperor nodded and ordered Xu Luo to take Su Yizhao to the inner sleeping area to wait.
Su Yizhao took a look at the emperor's bedroom. It was very simple. Apart from the bright yellow bedding, the most luxurious thing was the big bed with carved dragons.
"Your Majesty, E Chongming, respectfully wishes His Majesty's peace!"
When Su Yizhao heard E Chongming's voice, he immediately pricked up his ears.
"Get back on your feet!" The emperor glanced at the memorial in E Chongming's hand and suddenly felt a headache.
"There are quite a few memorials today."
"Your Majesty, all the ministers have complained about breaking the curfew at night. The commander of the Jingwei Command, who is responsible for guarding the important area of the capital, actually spent a whole night to catch such thieves. He must have been immobile for a long time and lost morale.
"
E Chongming was short of naming the commander of the Beijing Guard, Si Du, as a drunkard. It took him one night to catch up with him, and even had Si die in command.
"This person is from the feudal lord, and he actually appeared in the capital. It's terrifying to think about it!"
When E Chongming talked about this matter, he had a look of indignation on his face.
"The generals on the border were negligent in their duties, and the guards in the capital were lazy and obedient. These are the reasons for this incident. I don't know how many spies from other countries have infiltrated our country now, but we should investigate thoroughly as soon as possible!"
The emperor nodded, "What the chief assistant said makes sense, but that person has made his own decision and the clues have been interrupted. What should we do?"
"This is the responsibility of the Dali Temple, the Jingwei Commander's Department and the Five Cities Military and Horse Department. The Emperor should order them to find out the origin of this person as soon as possible and find a way to sneak into the Dayun Dynasty."
Su Yizhao, who was in the room, found it funny. This chief minister was really good at pushing.
When the emperor asked him what to do, he blamed others.
"It is better to start with this person and find out who this person has been in contact with in the capital. Although it is troublesome, it can only be done like this."
This sentence is to the point, and it is also a way. Su Yizhao nodded. The chief assistant still has two brushes, which should not be underestimated.
"I will order Dali Temple and the Military and Horse Department to jointly handle this case." The emperor nodded.
"It's already very suspicious to let this person in at the city gate. Maybe someone is colluding with him. I'd like to ask Dali Temple to investigate more closely."
"Also, the Beijing Guard Command and Envoy Department has been supervised by His Highness the Third Prince recently. Has His Highness the Third Prince not received any news about what happened last night? Why wasn't this matter dealt with quickly?"
When the emperor heard that E Chongming mentioned the third prince, he knocked on the imperial desk with his hand and said, "The third prince has more than just this errand in his hands. Just now Kang Aiqing came to report that the third prince has already led people to inspect the city."
Hearing the partiality in the emperor's tone, E Chongming said no more.
The emperor asked again: "Is this all the reason for the memorial?"
"Replying to the Emperor, this is not the only one. A right-hand imperial censor in the Inspectorate accused the Ordnance Bureau of forging inferior weapons and replacing them with agricultural scrap iron. The officials cut corners and materials, and the weapons they made turned out to be useless.
Break."
E Chongming was very angry, "Your Majesty! This batch of weapons was sent to the border gate. It is the life of the border guards! If it is so brittle and easy to break, what can the soldiers at the border pass use to save their lives? I don't know if such weapons have flowed in before.
Guard, this is tantamount to taking human life lightly!"
The emperor immediately slapped the case, "What? Someone actually dares to tamper with the weapons. I'm really tired of living. E Aiqing, are you serious about what you said? Did the Inspectorate send someone to check?"
"Your Majesty, the memorial is here. The Inspectorate has reported it at all levels. Ju Ming'an, the censor of Zuodu, has made this matter clear in the memorial and asked the Emperor to take a look at it."
"Ju Ming'an?" The emperor was stunned when he heard this, "Ju Aiqing had already met the emperor in the morning, but he did not mention this matter."
"Your Majesty, that's because the right-wing censor, Wei Lian, hadn't reported it yet, but was just investigating in secret."
"Oh? Submit it, let me see it." The emperor ordered Xu Luo to present the memorial. Xu Luo stepped forward to take the memorial, and he glanced at E Chongming.
E Chongming was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head.
After the emperor took a quick look at it, Long Yan couldn't help being furious.
"How unreasonable is it that some people actually dare to pass off inferior weapons as good ones? If these weapons are sent to the border, I can't imagine the consequences. These people are disgusting, they actually dare to act like this."
The emperor was furious and slapped the memorial on the table.
Su Yizhao listened in the room and nodded secretly. The emperor's acting skills were good, and his roars were really real.
Seeing that the emperor was so angry, E Chongming temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart just now.
"Your Majesty, His Highness the Fifth Prince was assigned the task of inspecting the Ordnance Bureau a month ago. His Highness the Fifth Prince didn't know anything about such a ridiculous thing?"
E Chongming sighed, "We must not tolerate it. Your Majesty, you must punish me severely!"
"I already know about this, so I asked Lao Wu to come over. I don't know how he managed to make such a big mistake."
The emperor was obviously still angry and his tone was very cold.
"Your Majesty, I think we should not inform the fifth prince first, but should send Dali Temple to investigate secretly, so as not to alert the enemy."
Su Yizhao slandered inside, Kang Shiwen owed you everything, and asked Dali Temple for everything, and you wanted to keep him busy to death?
Shouldn't we let the Inspectorate conduct a secret investigation first, and then let the Dali Temple handle the arrest?
"Oh? Don't you believe Lao Wu?" The emperor's tone suddenly turned cold.
E Chongming murmured in his heart, "Don't you doubt your son at all? You have to protect everyone."
"You should step back first! I will send the Inspectorate to investigate this matter carefully, and then transfer it to Dali Temple."
The emperor's words made E Chongming hesitate to speak, but the emperor had already backed down and he could say no more.
After E Chongming left, Su Yizhao immediately came out.
The emperor held up the memorial in his hand and gave it to Xu Luo.
"Let Su Aiqing take a look!"
Xu Luo was very surprised. The emperor actually let Su Yizhao read the memorial?
Su Yizhao was also surprised, but he took it without hesitation and didn't look at it in vain.
"As you said, both Wei Lian and Ju Ming'an are suspected, and Wei Lian is even more suspicious." The emperor touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
"Your Majesty, Wei Lian was promoted to the position of censor of Youqian Capital just a year ago."
Su Yizhao was very familiar with the transfer of officials between the DPRK and China, especially Beijing officials.
A carriage drove from outside the palace gate into Wuma Lane in Beicheng, where there are three official residences.
Ju Ming'an, the censor of Zuodu, urged the coachman to hurry up, "I have something to do when I go back, so please hurry up."
"What do you want, Mr. Ju? Why don't you go to Dali Temple for a cup of tea?"
Suddenly, a careless voice came from outside the carriage.
There is only one chapter left today! There are other things that have not been completed!
