Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 94
Wang Zhi heard Lin Cunde's words and stood up excitedly. Such a good thing is not easy to find. If he can establish a more powerful rich man in front of his father, everyone will not stare at his father.

Now let’s not talk about other people, but my grandfather, uncles, and uncles all keep an eye on their family’s wealth, and secretly inquire about how much money their family has.

How much money you have has nothing to do with them, it’s all yours, you can’t give it to them.

But Wang Zhi also knows that if such rumors continue, it will not be good for his father and himself.

"Wait a minute, don't worry, drink tea, it's rare for you to come to my place now!" Lin Cunde called to Wang Zhi.

"Hey, brother-in-law, you're still smart! But I've been busy lately, you know!" Wang Zhi sat down with a smile.

"Well, you also need to be careful. You are not allowed to take other people's money. If you really need money, Shibo won't give it to you. If you come to me, you can still need your money, but you can't spend it indiscriminately. Make friends with others. , also need ideas. Now that the Queen and Your Majesty have gradually stabilized the situation, some people have begun to speculate!
Of course, it’s not impossible to speculate, it just depends on the person’s ability and character. If both ability and character are acceptable, it’s not impossible to give him a hand! Lin Cunde taught Wang Zhi and said,

Wang Zhi has a carefree personality and is easily fooled. As his future brother-in-law, Lin Cunde still needs to be reminded to avoid causing big troubles.

"I know, brother-in-law, I'm smart now. Anyone who wants to curry favor with me, I will go back and tell dad! I don't go to brothels or casinos, I just go to listen to ditties!" Wang Zhi said with a smile.

After hearing this, Lin Cunde nodded. Although Wang Zhi was simple, he was obedient and understood. He couldn't tell the difference, so he let his father do it.

Lin Cunde and Wang Zhi chatted here for a while, but Wang Zhi couldn't sit still and left anyway.

On the morning of the second day, after Lin Cunde finished exercising at home, he continued to read in the study.

At this moment, in the cabinet, the cabinet ministers were looking at the training method handed to them by Zhu Qiyu.

Although many of these people do not understand military affairs, they can still see the beauty of the above training methods.

Civil servants have never wanted the generals to become stronger. Civil servants have always wanted to control the army. However, from Taizu to Zhu Qizhen, they have not been able to do it. They originally thought they could do it this time, but it still didn't work. .

The Third Battalion of the Capital still failed to return to the Ministry of War, which was also a worry for them!Now, seeing this training method, they also felt a panic.

Throughout the dynasties, civil servants wanted to compete with the emperor for power, and the key to power lay in military power.

Therefore, civil servants of all dynasties seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they all wanted to gather military power instead of leaving it in the hands of the emperor.

Nowadays, these civil servants are no exception. They all want to gather military power and return it to the Ministry of War, instead of just having a simple power to mobilize troops.

"You can tell me what you think about this matter!" Chen Xun was silent for a while, looking at them and asked.

"Of course not!" Cabinet Minister Gao Gu said directly no.

"No, we need a reason. It's not that the training method is bad, or it's some other reason. There's always a reason that needs to be given!" Chen Xun looked at Gao Gu and said, "It's not easy to say no, but there's a reason."

"The additional expenses for our Ming Guard Institute will be several hundred. If we follow this training method, how much additional expenditure will be required? Furthermore, the training method has been fixed for a long time. How can it be easily changed?" Shang Ren next to him immediately replied.

"Well, that's a good reason! I heard that Yu Qian is reorganizing the national army. I don't know how much it will cost. If this training method is added, wouldn't it make the Ming Dynasty's treasury even more empty!
But having said that, I heard that there is still a lot of cash in the treasury, and I don’t know if His Majesty can take some out. Now the treasury is always empty. The money and food have just been delivered and will be spent immediately. This is terrible. no! "When Gao Gu heard this reason, he nodded very happily, and then he thought that there was a lot of money in the inner treasury. It would be great if he could give some to the Ministry of Accounts!

"Okay, that's right, let's discuss it like this. Without money, there is no way to implement it. When the time comes, we will tell Yu Qian and we will answer His Majesty's inquiry like this. Now there is one more thing. Let's take a look at this memorial!" As he spoke, Chen Xun took out a memorial from the table next to him and handed it to Gao Gu next to him. '

Takagu took it and looked through it, his face immediately wrinkled, then he quickly flipped through it and saw that at the back, there were many people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate co-signing.

This was an article to impeach Sun Xuzong, the fourth son of the Sun family. He had accepted a large amount of bribes and was exposed by a large number of Jinyiwei officials. After the Metropolitan Procuratorate collected evidence, the impeachment started directly.

After Gao Gu read it, he handed it to the person next to him and looked at Chen Xun in surprise. Chen Xun was sitting there making tea without looking at Gao Gu.

When Gao Gu saw him like this, he didn't say anything. He just held the teacup and his mind was running rapidly. Who was in charge of this matter? Empress Dowager Sun's biological brother was impeached. Two days ago, Empress Wang's future brother-in-law was impeached. Assassination, today, Queen Mother Sun's brother was impeached for corruption and bribery.

Moreover, there are rumors from the outside world that the person who assassinated Lin Cunde was the Sun family and was ordered by the Empress Dowager Sun.

Now that the impeachment memorial is out, they need to think clearly. They have no objection to cleaning up the Sun family, but they need to think carefully about the consequences of cleaning up the Sun family. What they need to make sure is that this It is difficult to find out whether the memorial was ordered by His Majesty or just impeached by the Metropolitan Procuratorate on its own initiative. Maybe only one or two people know about it, and those who know may not tell the truth.If it is His Majesty's order, it means that His Majesty will start to attack the ministers in the court. This is not what they don't want to see.

As for protecting Sun Xuzong, this has little to do with them. They just want the Sun family to be ransacked.

After all those people had finished reading, everyone fell silent.

Chen Xun continued to pour tea for them. After pouring it, he chuckled and said, "Tell me what you think. This memorial will be sent to His Majesty soon. We can't delay it!"

"The evidence is conclusive, what else can be said? There are so many co-signers from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and there are many witnesses. Sun Xuzong is probably going to be imprisoned this time, but" Shangluo said, but stopped, and there is no need to say anything else, everyone knows.

"The evidence is conclusive, it's useless to say anything else. Just do what you need to do. As for other things, just observe!" Cabinet Minister Peng Shi also smiled and said.

"Yes, you can't hold it back without sending it. Our cabinet doesn't have the courage!" Gao Gu nodded, agreeing with their idea.

"Let me know who is in charge!" Chen Xun nodded.

"I want to inquire, but it is estimated to be difficult. As long as someone makes a little push on this matter, this memorial will be formed. It may not be that simple to find out the true intention of the person behind it. Just watch it!" Shang Ran! He continued with a wry smile.

"Then send it up!" Chen Xun could only nod after hearing what everyone said.

They couldn't help but start to feel sad. They had thought that Zhu Qiyu was easy to handle, but they didn't expect that it might be more difficult to deal with than Zhu Qizhen.

Some of them knew the whole story of Zhu Qizhen's defeat at Tumubao, but everyone kept silent. Some wanted Zhu Qizhen to come back, but there were also many ministers who didn't want him to come back. Once he came back, they would have to liquidated.

The 20-strong army of the Third Battalion of the Capital faced off against [-] cavalry and was defeated. Moreover, a small proportion of ordinary soldiers died, but the senior generals and some civil servants suffered heavy casualties.

There are doubts here. If Zhu Qizhen takes that position again, he will definitely investigate.

"I heard that His Majesty thinks very highly of Lin Cunde. Have you ever had any contact with him?" Chen Xun asked next.

Everyone looks at me and I look at you, and they all shake their heads slightly.

Gao Gu next to him said: "I heard that he is the second son of the former imperial censor Lin Xiangfeng. This time he was awarded the title of Governor of the Chinese Army, and he is also the seventh rank. I heard that both Yu Qian and Wang Ying are competing for him. It is obvious that Yu Qian can value someone so highly. He still has extraordinary abilities!”

"Let's get in touch!" Chen Xun said lightly.

These cabinet ministers are also conflicted now. They are satisfied with what Zhu Qiyu has done for the people and the soldiers who sacrificed their lives. However, Zhu Qiyu has not let go of his ownership of the army, which makes them very dissatisfied. But it's just dissatisfaction.

Now they don't dare to make any more moves. The Jinyiwei has been almost rectified by Zhu Qiyu. The Jinyiwei is a knife hanging over their heads. Originally, they wanted to take the opportunity to let His Majesty cancel the Jinyiwei. Unexpectedly, Zhu Qiyu took this opportunity. , rectified Jin Yiwei and made Jin Yiwei more loyal to him. This is what they don't want to see.

In the afternoon, news came out from the palace that the fourth son of the Sun family and the fourth brother of the Empress Dowager were impeached by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The evidence was conclusive. His Majesty was furious and ordered the Beizhen Fusi to arrest him. That afternoon, Sun Xuzong was arrested at home by Jin Yiwei. Take it away.

When Sun Zhong got the news, he was still visiting Wu Xun.When he learned that his fourth son had been arrested, he hurried back to his house.

As soon as he arrived in the living room, he heard the wife and children of the fourth son crying, and the eldest son Sun Jizong and the other two sons were also trying to persuade him.

When they saw Sun Zhong coming back, they all stood up. The fourth daughter-in-law even cried and said, "Dad, you must save the successor clan, otherwise, how will we survive!"

Sun Zhong immediately scolded: "What do you look like crying and crying? Go back!"

After Sun Zhong finished speaking, he turned around and walked towards the study. When his three sons saw Sun Zhong like this, they immediately followed him.

Sun Zhong returned to the study with a dark face and sat on the main seat. The third son, Sun Shaozong, closed the door and stood behind, looking at Sun Zhong quietly.

Sun Zhong looked at Sun Jizong and scolded him dissatisfied: "Why on earth was he arrested? Why was there no news at all before? Moreover, he was arrested by Beizhen Fusi! What about those of you in Jinyiwei, are they useless?"
