Xu Jie hoped that Zhang Hao would go back and tell Zhang Rong, let Zhang Rong go and talk to those vassal kings, Zhang Hao would not agree, how can the Duke of Ming Dynasty bow his head, this matter can be handled by himself, and he does not need his own father He shot, and Xu Jie nodded helplessly when he heard it. He didn't know much about those noble things, but he did.

They are very powerful, but he doesn't know exactly how powerful they are.

"Father-in-law, it's getting late. Tomorrow, you'd better go to the cabinet and ask whether you don't know or the cabinet doesn't know. There may be something going on here. Moreover, if tomorrow morning, the memorial is not clear." Go to the emperor's side, something will happen then!" Zhang Hao said to Xu Jie,

Xu Jie nodded, and asked early tomorrow morning.

And Zhang Hao also stood up, went outside, said a few words with his mother-in-law, and left.Seeing Zhang Hao leaving, Mrs. Liang immediately went to Xu Jie and asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's okay. I can't tell you clearly about the affairs of the court!" Xu Jie waved his hand and said, but he really couldn't explain clearly.

Early the next morning, Xu Jie came to the cabinet early to look for the memorial from the Ministry of Punishment, but the memorial from the Ministry of Punishment did not report the incident, so Xu Jie waited for Lu Ben and Yan Song to come over.

"So early?" Yan Song asked immediately when he saw Xu Jie came so early.

"Well, two elders, I want to ask, the Ministry of punishment caught fire and burned all the evidence of King Jin, do you know?" Xu Jie sat there, looked at the two of them and asked.

"Is there such a thing?" Yan Song asked in surprise when he heard it.

"Well, the old man knows about this, and I will report it to the emperor later!" Lu Ben knew what was going on when he heard it, so he immediately said to Xu Jie.

"Are you reporting what happened a few days ago?" Xu Jie continued to ask.

"Oh, by the way, you didn't ask just now. I forgot about it. I'm old and my memory is not good. I reported it two days ago. Where is the old man's room? Wait for the old man to look for it!" Lu Ben immediately I pretended to look for it, but I couldn't find it, so I went to the study to look for it.

Yan Song glanced at Xu Jie, and then asked: "The evidence has been burned, what should we do next? The emperor cannot lose in this matter!"

"Yeah, I only found out last night. Zhang Hao told me. Otherwise, I wouldn't know. The emperor wants us to finish this matter before Qingming Festival!" Xu Jie looked at Yan Song anxiously and said.

"Hey, hey!" Yan Song was also anxious, and soon, Lu Ben came over with a memorial.

"I found it. There are too many memorials in the past few days. I didn't expect them to be pressed at the bottom. Let me find them easily. I will report this matter to the emperor later!" Lu Ben looked at Xu Jie with an anxious expression on his face. Said.

"Lord Lu, don't you know how big the matter with King Jin is? The evidence has been burned, you, you!" Xu Jie looked at Lu Ben, not knowing what to say, but they were not stupid, Lu Ben couldn't forget The, just say, need to forget.

"Hey, can the old man not be in a hurry? I just forgot in a hurry, and now the old man is going to report!" Lu Ben said and was about to go outside.

Yan Song and Xu Jie glanced at him. Originally, they wanted to follow, but they knew that once they did, Lu Ben would be finished. Originally, Lu Ben would not be able to stay for a long time. They both knew that if At this time, if they poke it out, it is estimated that it will be difficult for Lu Ben to provide for the elderly.

"Forget it, let him go and explain to the emperor? Let's see if he can explain clearly!" Xu Jie said with a sigh,

Yan Song also nodded, then looked at Xu Jie and asked: "Is there any progress in the Ministry of Punishment? The evidence has been burned. I'm afraid the Ministry of Punishment will not be able to interrogate. I think we still have to go there later and urge them to finish it quickly." The case!"

"Yes, we want to go there, let's go together when Master Lu comes back, this matter can't be dragged on!" Xu Jie nodded, and said to Yan Song, and at this moment, Zhang Hao was sitting there eating breakfast at the side of Danfang, After eating, Zhang Hao will go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

"You bastard, you came here to deliver information, don't you know that you can come back after eating at home?" Jiajing stared at Zhang Hao and said dissatisfied.

"The ones from the imperial palace taste better. Besides, I have already fined so much, so don't you want to get back your money?" Zhang Hao said while looking at Jiajing and rolling his eyes.

"You can earn money just like this, just wait, I will punish you when I find an opportunity!" Jiajing pointed at Zhang Hao and threatened.

"Anyway, if I don't eat here, you will punish me the same. I might as well eat more, right? Besides, when I came here, the emperor agreed, don't worry!" Zhang Hao said Jiajing said proudly, Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao and didn't want to talk, but he couldn't talk to him.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Lu Ge is begging to see you!" At this moment, an eunuch came in outside and said to Zhang Hao.

"Come here at this time, okay, let him in!" Jiajing nodded when he heard it, and said, and soon, Lu Ben came in, and after saluting Jiajing, Jiajing asked him to sit down.

"I am here to plead guilty. I am very anxious about this memorial, but I am old and forgot to put it in the pile of memorials. Therefore, I came here early in the morning to plead guilty, and ask the emperor to forgive me!" Lu Ben knelt there without a word. Get up, but raised the memorial and said.

When Jiajing heard this, he nodded. Lu Ben went to take the memorial, flipped through it, and handed it to Jiajing. Jiajing took it and looked at it carefully.

"What happened three days ago, you have reported it now, and it still involves King Jin, are you confused?" Jiajing said to Lu Ben very unhappy.

"Your Majesty, I really feel that my recent memory is not good enough, and I often miss things, please forgive me!" Lu Ben continued to kowtow to Jiajing.

"It seems that you are really old, okay, I can't continue to do what you want, so, you write a memorial to the official, and I approve it!" Jiajing put down the memorial and said to Lu Ben,

Lu Ben's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, he didn't expect that Jiajing would let him retire, but Jiajing had already finished speaking, so it was useless to say anything, so he could only cup his hands and say, "Yes, thank you, Your Majesty, for forgiveness!"

"Go!" Jiajing waved his hand, and Lu Ben stood up with difficulty. He didn't expect that Jiajing would drive him out of the court like this. At first, he thought that Jiajing would reprimand him at most, but unexpectedly, the result That's right, I didn't think about leaving the cabinet now. The cabinet has too much power, especially the chief minister of the cabinet.

Thinking of this, Lu Ben stopped, and said to Jiajing: "Your Majesty, I recommend Yan Song as the chief assistant of the cabinet. After all, Yan Song has more experience!"

"You don't need to worry about this, I have my own plan!" Jiajing said to Lu Ben very displeased, if it wasn't because he was old and had been doing things for Daming before, he could issue an order to inspect this matter His family, but seeing that Lu Ben was so old, Jiajing softened his heart.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take your leave!" Lu Ben immediately bowed his hands, and then withdrew.

Jiajing just sat there thinking about it, and after a while, Jiajing asked Zhang Hao, "Is it possible to make Yan Song the chief assistant of the cabinet?"

"En? Ask me?" Zhang Hao raised his head and looked at Jiajing in surprise when he heard Jiajing say that.

"Well, tell me!" Jiajing nodded and said to Zhang Hao.

"How do I know, I don't care about such things!" Zhang Hao said immediately shaking his head.

"Now the court still needs people to be bad guys, let Yan Song do it, you go and tell your father-in-law that the court still needs Yan Song now, let him help Yan Song with peace of mind!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.

"I'm not going to say it, you have to say it yourself!" Zhang Hao shook his head and said.

"Hey, you bastard, why don't you do anything?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao angrily and said.

"What does it matter to me? Xu Jie is my father-in-law, but he is also your courtier. If you let me talk about this kind of thing, I won't go. He loves it!" Zhang Hao said while sitting there, shaking his head. ,

Jiajing heard it, pointed at Zhang Hao, and then said helplessly: "Okay, I will tell you, hey, then you say, who is suitable for the cabinet to come in, there are six ministerial positions, only four real positions, and two are vacant! This election When one comes up, three are empty!"

"I don't know, don't ask me, I don't know!" Zhang Hao continued eating his breakfast.

"Well, it's time to ask Yan Song and Xu Jie what they mean!" Jiajing thought about it and said.

"If you want me to say, let a cruel official come in to serve as the cabinet, specifically to keep an eye on those corrupt officials, and let those officials know that this time the court knows the truth, and if they want to continue to be corrupt, they have to think carefully!" Zhang Hao sat There, he shook his head and said.

After Jiajing heard this, he thought about it, nodded and said, "You're right, then choose one of the censors, then Zhou Yan, let Zhou Yan be the cabinet minister, and keep an eye on those ministers!"

"I don't care who it is, it needs to convey the meaning anyway!" Zhang Hao sat there, shook his head and said, Jiajing nodded, and soon, Zhang Hao finished eating and went to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Ben returned to the cabinet with a face of silence, and then began to pack his things.

"Lord Lu, we still need to go to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice today. After all, the matter of King Jin has not yet been settled!" Yan Song and Xu Jie arrived at Lu Ben's office room, and when they saw him packing things, they were stunned for a moment. , and then spoke.

"Well, you guys go, the old man will write the official memorial later, the emperor agreed that I will go home!" Lu Ben sat there and looked at them with a forced smile and said.

"What? This, this!" Yan Song and Xu Jie looked at Lu Ben in surprise. Lu Ben was a good guy, and now he was captured by Jiajing.

"I'm confused, I'm too confused, I can forget such an important matter, but I dare not take up such an important position as the chief assistant of the cabinet!" Lu Ben still looked at them with a forced smile and said.
