Hundreds of households in Liaodong, covering the light with one hand

Chapter 177 A little plan to kill people, the most important thing is to kill the heart
  The residence of the chief minister of the cabinet.

Ye Xianggao, Wang Qi, and Sun Chengzong were all there.

After reading the evidence Wang Qi brought, Ye Xianggao was stunned for a long time, obviously shocked beyond measure.

"Lang Guogong, if these things are handed over, I am afraid that not only Prince Xin will be implicated, but also many of the civil and military officials in Nanjing City will be exposed!"

"Don't think about suppressing this matter. If Duke Lang hadn't been aware of such a disaster in advance, if nearly ten thousand kilograms of gunpowder had exploded in the capital, the consequences would have been not only overturning half of Beijing, but also countless people. He lost his life in this disaster. How can he act like this for a prince? For me, the prince of the Ming Dynasty?"

Sun Chengzong was so angry that he slapped the table, making the tea cups on the table tremble.

"But if it is reported to the imperial court, where will the Holy Emperor be placed? Prince Xin is the Holy Emperor's younger brother. In the end, will the Holy Emperor raise the butcher's knife to Prince Xin? The imperial court has just dismissed a large number of officials, and now Xiao Qiang is in trouble. What will happen to the world? See?" Ye Xianggao obviously has a lot of considerations, and as the chief minister of the cabinet, Ye Xianggao's first priority is the stability of the entire court, rather than shuffling the cards in the fiercely turbulent officialdom. In this way, he The chief minister of the cabinet will not last long.

Ye Xianggao's words made Sun Chengzong not know how to answer for a while.

As the emperor's master, Sun Chengzong sighed silently: "Looking at it this way, I believe that the prince has sent the saint far away."

After a while, Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong turned to look at Wang Qi.

"Mr. Lang Guo, you discovered this matter and you investigated it. What do you think should be done?" Ye Xianggao finally wanted to hear Wang Qi's thoughts.

From the moment Wang Qi entered the room, he leaned back gently on the chair and listened to the conversation between the two without saying a word.

After hearing Ye Xianggao's question, Wang Qi smiled softly: "The two adults are in love."

"Why do you say this?" Sun Chengzong frowned.

"How to deal with the king is the emperor's business. Why should I, my ministers, interfere with the royal affairs?" Wang Qi looked unconcerned, as if he was not the target of the big explosion.

"But everyone in the world is watching," Sun Chengzong seemed to understand Wang Qi's meaning and considered: "What Duke Lang means is to make this matter public and then wait and see what the public opinion is before taking action?"

"Go ahead, let the emperor do the work." Wang Qi didn't care about Zhu Youjian's little actions. This prince, who is not like a human king, will never succeed in the end. Otherwise, he would not have been the emperor for seventeen years, and in the end he only left A king has a reputation of dying for the country. To be honest, Yang Guang also died for the country. Can it be the same?
  "Lang Guo Gong is really a great man!" Ye Xianggao and Sun Chengzong raised their thumbs together. This kind of admiration came from the bottom of their hearts, but also with a kind of fear... There was no trace of hatred towards the person who assassinated him. But his words are full of calculations, the kind of scheming that takes more than ten steps forward and backward. Isn't this kind of person too scary?
  Sometimes, Ye Xianggao wonders, is Wang Qi's keen political sense innate or does he have the guidance of an expert?
  Is there really a person who is gifted by heaven?

Three days later, Qianqing Palace.

A group of noble ministers stood in the hall.

Although the imperial court ushered in a great purge after the Bailian Rebellion, the number of courtiers attending court in the palace every day did not decrease, but increased.

After all, the Ming Dynasty lacked everything except officials.

At this moment, the court was a little quiet, and all the ministers lowered their heads, waiting for the emperor to speak.

On Zhu Youxiao's imperial desk, there was a document submitted by the cabinet.

Apocalypse was not interested in the trade between Shandong and Japan.

There was also an auspicious memorial of the Lion presented by Guangdong, which Apocalypse also threw aside with a sullen face.

Sun Chuanting of Puzhou managed the people well and was commended by the governor of Shanxi and Shaanxi. Emperor Tianqi just nodded and said nothing.

All the ministers in the palace looked at me and I looked at you, but no one spoke.

On the throne, Zhu Youxiao looked at the last memorial on the table with a conflicted face: King Xin Zhu Youjian, together with the officials of Shuntian Prefecture and the refugees from the outer city, made thousands of kilograms of gunpowder in an attempt to bury half of the capital and send Duke Lang to death. .

This is the memorial written by Yan Yinglong, deputy envoy of Tongzheng Yamen. Because Lu Yu, the former general affairs envoy, had already given everyone a try. After climbing onto Wang Qi's thigh, in just three months, Lu Yu had been promoted from the Qingshui Yamen, a marginal figure in the imperial court, to the left-hand position of the Ministry of Household Affairs. The minister is in charge of the transportation of money and grain to several provinces, and he is very popular.

And Yan Yinglong's approach is obviously to imitate his predecessor.

Zhu Youxiao pursed his lips tightly and couldn't say a word for a long time.

In fact, he already knew about this matter through Ye Xianggao yesterday, and he had been worrying about it for the past two days. Unexpectedly, someone directly exposed it in the court affairs, which really caught Zhu Youyou off guard.

To be honest, Emperor Tianqi didn't want to kill his younger brother. As an emperor, he was a loner. If he killed his younger brother because of this matter, this emperor would be too cold-blooded.

"Yan Yinglong, are you here?" Zhu Youxiao rummaged in his sleeves for a long time before finally speaking.

"Your Majesty, Yan Yinglong, pays homage to your Majesty!" Yan Yinglong, the deputy general envoy, bowed to the throne.

"What do you think about this matter?" Tianqi wanted to see the opinions of the ministers.

"In reply to Your Majesty, what matters is not what I think, but what the people of the world think, what do the people of Beijing think, what do Duke Lang think?" Yan Yinglong rolled up his sleeves and said solemnly, he didn't want to be the target of public criticism, he just wanted to I took the opportunity to cling to Wang Qi and support Duke Lang.

To be precise, it was to express goodwill to Lang Guo.

What do the people of the world think?
  What do people in the capital think?
  To be honest, Emperor Tianqi didn't really care. After all, the stubborn forces in Donglin had been uprooted from the court by him. Is he still worried about public opinion?

However, what exactly does Wang Qi think?
  This is what Emperor Tianqi values ​​most
  "Lang Guo Gong is also one of the parties involved in this matter," Zhu Youxiao coughed twice and looked at Wang Qi: "Lang Guo Gong, what do you think?"

In the court hall, everyone looked at Wang Qi.

All the disputes in the court were caused by him. It was really surprising that a prince forced the prince to take such a trick.

But in comparison, the prince's methods were really clumsy.

The people and officials who originally had some favorable impressions of the Donglin faction have changed their stance in the past few days and chosen to join the team again.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I believe that His Highness King Xin is young and ignorant. The reason for this matter may be that he was deceived by others, or was unable to distinguish right from wrong, or was impulsive. In any case, it did not cause any substantial harm. Therefore, I suggest that , His Highness King Xin is banned from Huzhou and fined for one year, which is enough."

Is that enough?

Everyone in the hall sighed secretly.

Duke Lang's methods are too dark.

When these words spread, it made him feel even more uncomfortable than killing Prince Xin.

Listen to what the parties involved said about their opponent Xin Wang:
  young and naive,

Bewitched by others,

Don't know right from wrong,

Impulse.

As soon as the four comments came out, King Xin had almost nothing to do with political affairs in his life.
