"Why are you back again!" This was the madam's first reaction when she saw Wang Xu.
"Where else can I go..." This was Wang Xu's answer.
"Come on, hurry up! The temple here is small and I can't accommodate a big Buddha like yours!" The old madam tried her best to drive Wang Xu out.
Wang Xu looked at her calmly: "Mrs. Boss, your concerns are actually meaningless. You are just worried that as the main person involved in the case, my staying here will indirectly cause Zuixing Tower to become the target of revenge by the two ministers. In fact,
You are totally wrong, it will be difficult for you if I leave."
The old bustard asked doubtfully: "How do you say this?"
"Because Zui Xing Tower, as the place where the incident happened, is inextricably involved in any case. If I stay here, the grievances will be owed and the debts will be owed. The two ministers can still have a clear target and know who to settle the accounts with. In the end, at most
Magistrate Zhang and I are both dead. If I leave...then if they don't feel relieved after they deal with Mr. Zhang, they will have no choice but to ask your boss lady for surgery..."
When the madam heard this, she really understood the truth: "Since you think so clearly, why do you still stay here to wait for death?"
Wang Xu shrugged: "Didn't I just say that I have nowhere to go..."
The madam doesn't believe his nonsense. Even if you go to the street to beg for food, you can at least save your life. Are you really not afraid of death?
"Huh... don't think that I don't know anything, so you would be so kind as to stay in Zui Xinglou as a shield for me? I think... you just can't let go of that beauty like a flower, so you're not willing to leave!"
Of course Wang Xu knew who the Madam was referring to: "Well... that's right if you say so. After all, she is my friend, and she might also be implicated..." As he said this, he thought of Yan Li every night.
As she was doing espionage work, it was obvious that if she was targeted by the government, it would be a big deal.
"Boy, let me tell you, you can stay and wait for death, but don't take Yan'er's idea!"
"Don't worry...are you still worried that I, a waiter, will kidnap your cash cow?"
The old bustard thought the same thing, how could Yan'er fall in love with this crazy boy: "Okay, then go and clean up Wangxing Pavilion. It will be dawn in a few hours, and it must be finished before noon!"
Wang Xu's eyes widened: "Boss boss, I'm a master! You've seen it too! One of them beats dozens of them! Aren't you afraid of my resistance if you exploit my surplus labor value like this?!"
"Go clean Wangxing Pavilion for me!!!" The old bustard once again used the Lion's Roar Kung Fu. It seemed that no matter how good Wang Xu's martial arts skills were, he could not change his image as a model worker in Zuixing Pavilion.
…………
Just one day later, the news that the two ministers Zhao and Du were imprisoned and were about to be executed by the Queen of Autumn spread to the capital. This was all due to the powerful flying pigeon communication network of well-informed people from all walks of life.
This really set off a thousand waves with one stone, and the various parties in the government began to become agitated again. They were basically divided into three positions. The first group of people, because of the power of these two adults, decided to support their statement after careful consideration.
, that is to say: "Zhang Dongtian is a stupid official, he is looking down on human life, and his crime cannot be punished!"
The second type of people argue with reason, saying that Zhang Zhigong has worked conscientiously during his tenure and has made no mistakes. He is really a good brother of the people and a good father and son. This incident is obviously the result of the incompetence of the two ministers Zhao and Du, which created two obvious problems.
Such rampant gangs with underworld nature...
In fact, most of them have never heard of the name Zhang Dongtian. As a Beijing official, you generally don't care about who those local officials are, even if you are in the Imperial College studying poetry and poetry all day long.
, I feel better about myself than the governor of a certain place. Who puts us at the center of national politics and power?
Therefore, the real purpose of exaggerating Dongtian was to attack Zhao and Du. These guys openly denounced it in the court, and secretly the impeachment memorial was handed up like an assembly line production. In fact,
The ultimate goal is to gain more favorable political capital for oneself.
As for the third group of people, the neutrals, this group of people actually plays a decisive role. Don’t think that it will be fine if you don’t take a stand. The other two groups will try their best to win you over. If the win-over fails,
, then you are likely to be the next enemy.
All in all, political struggle is really a fun thing...
In the end, there was naturally only one person to decide this farce, and that was the emperor.
At this time, Zhu Yijun no longer went to court. In the eyes of outsiders, Ming Shenzong was either indulging in wine and sex or doing alchemy and other things. The power in the court fell into the hands of the cabinet and a group of eunuchs.
, so this emperor is actually very easy to fool, it just depends on who can handle the few eunuchs and Taoist priests who are close to him.
In fact... they were all wrong! As the longest-reigning emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yijun was by no means the person they imagined. He never let go of the real power. Dongchang and Jinyiwei seemed to have all the power.
The government and the opposition are arrogant, but in the final analysis, they are just tools in the hands of the Ming Shenzong.
The real trump card in Zhu Yijun's hand is neither Jin Yiwei nor Dongchang...
The group of people he trusts the most are the Ouchi secret agents!
These people are the elites among the elites. They carry four kinds of tokens, gold, silver, copper and iron, to express their identity and status. As long as they are in the land of the Ming Dynasty, these tokens are the symbol of the intelligence force directly under the emperor.
Throughout the country, Ming Shenzong would be the first to know about any disturbances. Therefore, he was the first person in the capital to receive news about the incident between Zhao and Du. The fight between the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Government had also been reported for a long time.
Within his expectations.
Zhu Yijun looked through the letter written by Master Mao, and a smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Mr. Mao explained the matter very concisely in the letter, and later also wrote about the changes that will happen in the court. Of course, these will soon come true. The last words written are: "Zhang Dongtian is the pillar of the country and the prefect of the country."
The position is really unworthy of one's talents, please let the emperor make a decision..."
…………
On the third day after the incident, the emperor sent an unexpected person to Suzhou to investigate the case again.
This new military champion, just in his early twenties, named Liu Minghang, was about to go to the army to report. Unexpectedly, he was stopped by the emperor's imperial edict, and he was directly named a minister of the Ministry of punishment, and was given the title of imperial envoy.
