The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 407

Seeing Zhengde gnashing his teeth, Queen Mother Zhang was amused instead.

"If the emperor does this, I'm afraid no one will dare to speak out in the future."

However, Zhengde was not convinced: "Are you just watching them frame Mr. Xie?"

Empress Dowager Zhang wondered: "Why is the emperor so sure that the eunuchs are framing Xie Shen?"

"Isn't this simple? Mr. Xie became a cabinet scholar at a young age, and some people are jealous."

Emperor Zhengde spread his hands and said helplessly.

"There is some truth to that."

Although she was quite prejudiced against Xie Shen, Empress Dowager Zhang had to admit that what the emperor said was reasonable.

For some reason, she choked on the words she had prepared.In addition, the emperor was on Xie Shen's side, it seemed that nothing she said would help the matter.

"Since the emperor has made up his mind, I won't say much about it."

Empress Dowager Zhang just felt tired, waved her hands and said, "I'm tired, the emperor should go to attend to political affairs."

Zhengde saluted Empress Dowager Zhang and retreated respectfully.

As soon as Zhengde came out of the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Gu Dayong greeted him and said, "Is the emperor going to the Qianqing Palace or the Leopard Room now?"

Since the emperor moved out of the Forbidden City to live in the Leopard Room, the Qianqing Palace, which was the emperor's residence, has been idle.Although the inner prison was cleaned as usual every day, if the emperor came back to live there, he would definitely have to clean it up thoroughly.

After Liu Jin fell from power, Gu Dayong seemed to be the head of the eunuchs.But he was really unlucky, and he caught up with Chan Ning, a sycophant.

This gentleman accompanies the emperor to eat, drink and have fun, and presents alchemy beauties, which wins the emperor's favor.

Bewitched by this person, the Son of Heaven became quite indifferent to the eunuch Gu Dayong who had come with him from the East Palace.

Gu Dayong is naturally unhappy about this, but there is no other way for him to be unhappy.After all, it is up to the emperor to favor who is the emperor's favor.

He couldn't compare to Qian Ning, that means he was inferior to others, even though he was annoyed in his heart, he couldn't vent his anger.

However, I heard from Zhang Yong, who was serving the emperor in the Leopard Room, that recently Qian Ning's family members have decreased a lot, because Xiaoge Lao recommended a Xuanfu man named Jiang Bin.

This person worshiped Weizhou as the commander of the affairs, and was appreciated by the emperor for his remarks against the Tatars, so he was able to accompany him.

In the past, only Qian Ning could sleep with the emperor, but now Jiang Bin can do it too, which shows that Qian Ning's favor has been divided a lot.

"Go to the cabinet!"

Emperor Zhengde gritted his teeth.

"My lord, go to the cabinet?"

Gu Dayong was taken aback for a moment.Did he hear correctly?The emperor wants to drive the cabinet?

Emperor Zhengde rolled his eyes and said, "Why, can't I go to the cabinet?"

Gu Dayong even said he dared not.

"I'd like to see what attitude my fellow academicians have on this matter."

Emperor Zhengde flicked his sleeves and said suddenly.

A row of low-value rooms next to Wenyuan Pavilion is the place where the cabinet bachelor's office is on duty.

The chief assistant Li Dongyang is on duty today, but Xie Qian and Xie Shen are also there.

Under the auspices of Li Dongyang, the three academicians sorted out the memorials as usual, and then sent them to the Supervisor of Rites.

As cabinet ministers, their task is to draft opinions for the emperor on the memorials submitted by the whole country, and then be judged by the emperor.

This task is even more important today when the day is fun.

They have to use all their strength to keep the empire running normally.

The emperor has let go of his hands. If the cabinet continues to mess around, things in this world will really be messed up.

"Siming, here are some more memorials to impeach you."

Li Dongyang sighed, his eyes full of helplessness.

"Don't worry, Duke Xi Ya, this is all within someone's expectation."

Li Dongyang shook his head and said, "Since this is the case, why did Siming recommend Jiang Bin in the first place? I believe you, but the court officials don't know the inside story, so I'm afraid they will wrong you Siming."

Xie Shen put down his hands and said: "I don't care what they think, I just know that His Majesty is arbitrary and will never be fooled by them. Someone has to do this, otherwise Qian Ning's position will really be unshakable. "

Li Dongyang looked at Xie Qian again: "What does Yu Qiao think?"

Xie Qian said in a deep voice: "Brother Xiya, you might as well wait and see how this matter changes. Those who submitted the memorials were all seventh-rank officials, probably secretly instructed by Qian Ning. As long as no important ministers of the ministry presented the memorials to impeach Siming, Duke Xiya You don't need to move."

"Yeah." Li Dongyang nodded lightly.What Xie Qian said was also what he thought.The one who strikes first now will be at a disadvantage. It's better to wait and see, maybe that Channing will take the initiative to show his flaws.

"His Majesty is here!"

A sharp chant sounded outside the duty room, and all three of them were taken aback.

The emperor came to the cabinet?

It seems that since the emperor took the throne, he hasn't been in the cabinet for more than a year, right?
what is it today?
Not caring much, the three of them hurried out of the duty room to greet them.

"Minister Li Dongyang, minister Xie Qian, minister Xie Shen pay respects to Your Majesty."

All three of them are cabinet ministers, and they are not required to prostrate themselves unless they are in the Great Court.

Therefore, the three of them stood with their hands tied while bowing in salute.

The corners of Zhengde's mouth twitched slightly and said: "The three Qing families are all here, that's just right."

Zhengde walked into the duty room, randomly found a chair and sat down, and said, "I am here because of Mr. Xie's impeachment."

Li Dongyang's heart sank, and he thought what he really said.The reason why the emperor came to the cabinet for the first time was because of Xie Shen's impeachment.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this must have been framed by Xiao Xiaocheng."

As the chief assistant, Li Dongyang cannot hesitate when it is time to make a statement.

The emperor glanced at the memorials piled up on the official case, frowned and said, "These are also for the impeachment of Mr. Xie?"

"It's reversed, it's really reversed!"

The emperor only felt that he was coerced by the officials, and he was angry and depressed in his heart and said in a sullen voice, "Aren't they satisfied if I don't punish Mr.?"

Xie Qian said with a bitter expression: "Your Majesty, Jiang Bin has fulfilled his duty by presenting the strategy of resisting the Tartars to the court. It seems unfair to be reprimanded by the officials as a courtier. As for the elder Xiaoge, he is even more loyal. .”

Up to now, Jiang Bin can only be praised, but fortunately, he still has something to brag about.

Zhengde slapped the table and said: "I feel that someone is planning and manipulating this matter, otherwise how could there be so many memorials to impeach Mr. Xie at the same time."

Emperor Zhengde was not stupid, on the contrary he was very smart.

He has already seen that this is someone secretly planning, but he has not guessed who this person is.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Xie Qian said flatteringly, "Actually, it's very simple to find out who is framing Mr. Xiaoge, just see who makes the most profit."

This is the most effective way, Zhengde nodded frequently after hearing this.

The memorials to impeach Xie Shen were submitted shortly after he recommended Jiang Bin, and they all focused on this matter.

If Xie Shen was punished, Jiang Bin would definitely not be able to escape, and the person who made the most profit would be ready to leave.
