Chapter 878 Opposite Me Is A Chinese Cabbage
At this time, Huang Jin came back.Holding a memorial in his hand, he placed it on the imperial book case.Emperor Jiajing picked up the memorial and asked:
"Who is on duty today?"

"Master Gao!"

cabinet.

Gao Gong was sitting on the kang, and there was a stack of memorials in front of him, which were sent up from various places during the day. He hadn't read them all yet. Just now Huang Jin came to ask if there were any memorials by Zhang Shijie, so he had to find out from this stack of memorials first. of.At this time, across from him, Wang Xijue also helped Gao Gong to read the memorial there, and if he didn't understand, he asked Gao Gong.Gao Gong also cultivated Wang Xijue as a real arm.

"grown ups."

"Ok?"

Gao Gong raised his head and looked at Wang Xijue, who was opposite him. Seeing the nervousness on Wang Xijue's face, he set his eyes on the memorial in Wang Xijue's hand.

"Whose memorial?"

"Master Hu Zongxian Hu."

"Huh?" Gao Gong raised his eyebrows, and his face showed a serious look: "Show me."

"Yes, my lord."

Wang Xijue handed the memorial to Gao Gong, after Gao Gong read it, his expression changed.After pondering for a moment, he stood up and walked out with the memorial.

"grown ups!"

Gao Gong paused, turned to look at Wang Xijue, and saw the nervousness on Wang Xijue's face.

"What's the matter?"

"My lord, once this memorial is delivered, then..."

"You're trying to say that the feud between me and Xu Jie has ended, right?"

"This...it's nothing. But...then Hu Zongxian and Xu Jie formed a party?" At this point, Wang Xijue's eyes lit up:
"My lord, could it be you and Lord Hu?"

"I have nothing to do with him." Gao Gong shook his head and said.

"Then... could this be Xu Jie's trap?"

"I can't tell." Gao Gong said softly: "However, whether he is a trap or not, I just sent the memorial up, and I won't say a word, so even if there are any unpredictable results, it has nothing to do with me." Relationship. Even if he set up a trap, as long as I don't jump, Xu Jie has nothing to do with me. However, this opportunity cannot be let go. Huang Jin is about to leave Zhang Shijie's memorial just now, which shows that His Majesty has great respect for Shi Bosi. The amount of silver sent was very dissatisfied, and Hu Zongxian's memorial was likely to be the last straw on the camel's back.

As for the relationship between Xu Jie and me, whether or not this memorial is sent up, the two of us are also hostile. "

After saying that, Gao Gong walked away from the cabinet.

Yuxi Palace.

Emperor Jiajing put down the memorial, leaned on the back of the chair, and closed his eyes. After about ten breaths, Emperor Jiajing opened his eyes, stared at Huang Jin and said:
"Is there really no war in the southeast as you said? And the war at sea didn't affect the caravans of the vassal states? Has the number of caravans from the vassal states to Daming increased?"

"Yes!" Huang Jin immediately said: "Since Luo Xin came back, the slaves have followed His Majesty's instructions and asked Dongchang to monitor everything in the southeast."

Emperor Jiajing pointed to Zhang Shijie's memorial and said: "But Zhang Shijie said that a war broke out at sea, which caused a sharp decrease in the caravans of the vassal states, and caused the customs duties of the Shibo Department to drop."

"Long live!" At this time, a young eunuch said outside: "Master Gao, please see me."

Emperor Jiajing was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Xuan."

Gao Gong came in from the outside, and saluted Emperor Jiajing: "My lord, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Exemption!" Emperor Jiajing's eyes fell on the memorial in Gao Gong's hand: "Whose memorial?"

"Hu Zongxian, Mr. Hu."

Emperor Jiajing's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"Bring it up."

Huang Jin came to Gao Gong, took the memorial and put it on the imperial book case. Emperor Jiajing picked up the memorial and began to read it. As he read it, his brows furrowed tightly, and his face gradually became pale. The ground turned livid.Finally, he slammed the memorial on the imperial book case and said:

"Huang Banban, do you know what Hu Zongxian wrote in this memorial?"

Huang Jin bent down slightly, how dare he answer?How could he dare to participate in matters above the court?Even if he wanted to participate, he would not participate in front of Emperor Jiajing.

However, Emperor Jiajing didn't want him to participate, he just expressed his anger through this kind of questioning.So, without waiting for Huang Jin to reply, he roared by himself.

"Zhang Shijie has only been honest for a month since he took office, and then suppressed the original officials in large numbers, deprived those talented people under Luo Xin of their authority, and let some of his cronies control the entire Hangzhou. That's all, but why? His people are mediocre and greedy. He Zhang Shijie not only took the lead in corruption, but also spent money like water, extorted and extorted merchants in the southeast, broke the rules and regulations of Daming Maritime Trading Company, and caused three upheavals, all of which were suppressed by force. 670 people were killed.

And..." Emperor Jiajing was so angry that his chest surged violently: "It's not that I lost 100 million taels of silver, but nearly 200 million taels.As Huang Banban you said, the caravans in the feudal kingdom doubled when Luo Xin was there, and all the money was embezzled by Zhang Shijie and Xu Jie. They even dared to embezzle half of my money and share it equally.Is this to see if my knife is not sharp? "

Inside the hall, there was silence.Only the sound of Emperor Jiajing panting heavily.After a while, Emperor Jiajing looked at Gao Gongdao:

"Gao Qing, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

"Chen..." Gao Gong pondered for a moment and said, "Please ask the Holy Tribunal."

Emperor Jiajing shrank his eyes, and his heart couldn't help but move.Logically speaking, shouldn't Gao Gong add insult to injury at this time?
Why did he pass up this opportunity?

Is there something else hidden here?

At this moment, Emperor Jiajing calmed down.Looking at Gao Gong, he said, "Gao Qing, step back."

"The minister obeys the order."

Gao Gong quietly left Yuxi Palace.Emperor Jiajing looked at Huang Jin and said:
"Let the people from the East Factory immediately start investigating for me, everything is fine."

"According to the order!"

Luofu.

King Yu talked happily with Luo Xin, Zhou Yu and other nine heroes of the Fuxing Society. He could see that these people really wanted to gather around him. At this moment, King Yu finally felt a kind of The feeling of being the center.Moreover, he found that Zhou Yu and others behaved neither humble nor overbearing, which was a kind of self-confidence, and only confident people would show such an attitude when facing King Yu.

How did he know that every time Zhou Yu and the others murmured in their hearts before talking to King Yu:
"I'm facing a Chinese cabbage!"

In the end, everyone broke up happily.After sending King Yu away, everyone returned to the lobby, gathered together, removed the banquet and replaced it with tea.There was a moment of silence in the lobby.After a while, Luo Zhi said softly:
"No, the money and account books of the Shibo Department have arrived today."
