Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

Chapter 464 involves Zhang Wei, the Minister of Civil Affairs

Guo An sneered in his heart, let a bunch of old gangsters like you bully me!
Not only in the cabinet, there are also relatives of this prince.

The prince in charge of the cabinet is still my student!
Moreover, His Majesty also favors us very much!
Zhu Di glared, "As a prince, how can you be so petty?"

"That's what my father reprimanded!"

Zhu Gaochi responded respectfully, but his eyes were filled with disdain.

There are a group of thieves on both sides, he must remember to avoid falling into their trap in the future!
Seeing this, Zhu Di didn't scold him too much.

At this time, even if the officials who petitioned for impeachment were not colluding with those thieves, they were still a group of brainless people who were just trying to gain fame!

After leaving the palace, Guo An went home.

Sitting on the recliner, listening to the butler's report, how many more rumors about him in the capital have increased?

In response, Guo An just shook his head and regarded it as a show!

And in Tianxi Temple.

Monks such as Fa Miao and Fa Xing looked at the group of aggressive and indignant gentry and nobles in front of them, who wanted to seek justice for them, but their faces were full of sorrow.

"Amitabha, noble lords, Dinghaihou is not what the rumors say. Please don't be so radical!"

"Ok?"

An old man covered in silk looked at Fa Miao in surprise.

"The abbot said that the rumors in the capital are exaggerated?"

"Amitabha!"

Abbot Famiao nodded slowly, "I was wrong about this matter. Please don't cause trouble for no reason!"

Suddenly, an angry voice sounded from the crowd.

"Abbot, please don't worry. As scholars, how can we allow Marquis Dinghai to be so arrogant and domineering?

Master Famiao is the abbot of Tianxi Temple. Even the late emperor respected the abbot. Now that Emperor Hong Ding has ascended the throne, he also respects all eminent monks even more.

No matter how favored Marquis Dinghai is by His Majesty, he must not insult Master Fa Miao, Master Fa Xing and others! "

"This matter is due to the arrogance of Marquis Dinghai!"

"Exactly, he is actually greedy for ink! Your Majesty trusts him so much. He manages the Maritime Trade Chamber of Commerce and the construction of so many workshops near Jiangjun Mountain. Even if he extends his hand even a little, he will be greedy for thousands of ink..."

"Hiss, so many?"

"Also, Marquis Dinghai is also the commander-in-chief of Shenji Camp. I heard that Shenji Camp's firearms are very powerful!

Every month, His Majesty will allocate money and food to the Shenji camp soldiers individually..."

"With so much money, he would not give up even a penny of incense to the Buddha, and even dared to insult Master Fa Miao. That Marquis of Dinghai must not be a good person!"

"Traitor!"

"Marquis Dinghai must be a traitor!"

Suddenly, all the gentry and officials had angry faces.

"Impeach him! Your Majesty will definitely be deceived by this thief!"

"Exactly..."

With that said, all the gentry and officials left directly.

"Fellow laymen, noble people must not be impulsive!"

In the temple, Abbot Fa Miao, Fa Xing and others looked very anxious, but there was someone blocking them in front of them, so they simply went out to stop them.

"Amitabha!"

The Dharma is so wonderful that one cannot help but be filled with sorrow.

This matter seemed to have exceeded his expectations.

And another day.

Rumors once again spread throughout the capital that Dinghai Marquis Guo An was a treacherous minister.

Version, again more than ten more.

The capital is not the Peking Prefecture. Except for the people around Jiangjun Mountain, the other people in the capital have no impression of Guo An, the Marquis of Dinghai.

Not to mention, these people will believe that Guo An is a wise minister!
Even when the censor impeached Marquis Dinghai, he was found guilty of corruption, and his family was confiscated and his family was exterminated, he had long forgotten about it.

therefore.

The bad reputation of Dinghaihou Guo An is getting worse and worse!

As a result, all the people were furious.

natural.

The memorial to impeach Guo An was sent to the cabinet like snowflakes! …

Zhu Gaochi approached Zhu Di with a gloomy look.

"Father, there are officials from the Imperial Procuratorate, the Sixth Ministry, and the Five Temples impeaching the teacher!"

Zhu Di was not angry, but asked slowly: "Are there any different remarks in those memorials?"

"Reporting to my father, no!"

Zhu Gaochi said.

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Store those memorials separately!"

"Yes, Father!"

Zhu Gaochi responded and asked the chamberlain beside him to store the large pile of memorials separately in another bamboo basket.

"His Majesty!"

At this time, a chamberlain walked in quickly from outside the palace.

"Commander Zhao of the Imperial Guards asks to see you!"

"Zhao Hu?"

Zhu Di's eyes lit up, "Let him in!"

"According to the order!"

As the chamberlain bowed and exited the hall, Zhao Hu walked in from outside the hall.

"Wei Chen Jinyi Guards Commander Zhao Hu is here to see Your Majesty!"

Zhu Di's expression condensed, he stared at Zhao Hu and asked, "Have you found the traces of those thieves hiding in the dark?"

Zhao Hu said with a happy face: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have sent out all the royal guards in the capital to closely observe some suspicious people.

Especially Tianxi Temple, as well as the neighboring temples such as Tianjie Temple, Nengren Temple, and Bifeng Temple. Sure enough, we found some people who behaved strangely in and out of these temples! "

"Can you find out whether they are really the ones who secretly encouraged the monks from Tianxi Temple to seek alms from Marquis Dinghai, or even spread those rumors?"

Zhao Hu's face froze and he waved his hands quickly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just noticed that these people were acting strangely and came here to report to Your Majesty whether we need to continue investigating!"

"Ok?"

Zhu Di couldn't help but frowned, "Who made you so cautious?"

Zhao Hu hurriedly replied: "Reporting to your Majesty, this person is from the residence of Zhang Can, the Minister of Civil Affairs!"

"Zhang Wei?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi beside him couldn't help but look startled, and then became gloomy.

Zhang Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, whose courtesy name was Zhaoji, was from Fuping, Shaanxi Province, and could be regarded as an old minister of the Ming Dynasty.

During the Hongwu period, because he was proficient in classics and history, he was recommended as an official and was appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang. He served as the secretary of the East Palace and had a good relationship with the prince Zhu Biao.

Later, he was sent to Yunnan as a leftist political advisor. He stayed in Yunnan for 17 years and governed Yunnan. He was considered a capable minister.

After Zhu Di was established as the crown prince, Zhu Yuanzhang transferred Zhang Wei back to serve as the Minister of Civil Affairs.

After Zhu Di came to the throne, he promoted Zhang Wei to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Zhu Di was kind to Zhang Ming. Logically speaking, Zhang Ming should not join forces with those counterfeit money thieves.

"With Zhang Yan's wisdom, he shouldn't do such a stupid thing!"

Thinking about it, Zhu Di was full of doubts.

On the side, Zhu Gaochi also frowned, "Father, I have had a lot of dealings with Zhang Yan. Zhang Yan is very cautious in doing things, and he doesn't look like such a treacherous person..."

"Humph!"

Zhu Di's face darkened, "Then why are the people in his house so frequent in and out of temples such as Tianxi Temple and Tianjie Temple these days, and why are they behaving strangely?"

"Please ask Commander Zhao to conduct a detailed investigation!"

Zhu Gaochi said directly.

Zhao Hu quickly looked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di nodded slightly, "Check carefully!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhao Hu responded with a solemn expression.
