Chapter 588 587 Evidence

Author: Guests in Parallel Space

Wei Guangde left Prince Yu's Mansion and hurried back to the school and recording hall.

Although it was past Miku, Lu Bu had signed his name on Miku Book. Although he could still find out that this was a ghostwriter. But who would care about such a thing?

Such things were actually common in the Ming Dynasty. When the clerks did not arrive in time, they usually signed on their behalf.

In their work, they also have projects that imitate the master's signature and seal.

Of course, this situation does not happen often, usually only happens once a while. Naturally, everyone in the yamen pretends not to see it, and anyone else is late.

As for the supervision of the Censorate, it depends on who it is.

If you offend someone or be targeted by a censor Kedao, this is naturally a reason for impeachment, but this kind of impeachment is not only a shame but also a shame.

Normally, I was called to scold me by Shangguan, but seriously, I was punished with imperial edicts and fined.

Wei Guangde has always been versatile as an official. Even if he is plotted against others, he will remain silent. He is not sure that he can knock the other party down at once and make him unable to turn over. Wei Guangde will not take action easily.

Moreover, every time he takes action, he often only uses various channels in advance to point out the other party's pain points in a very obscure way, so those who were plotted by him may not necessarily think that Wei Guangde, among the people who deal with him, did not have a great effort.

It is difficult for such a person to be determined to deal with him. He is also the Fujian Censor, and no colleague will target him without any trouble, not to mention that there is still Prince Yu's Mansion behind him.

Nowadays, Wei Guangde goes to work, reads books, proofreads, gets off work, and then goes home. He is occasionally invited to go out to drink and listen to music with his colleagues.

This is the life of the Beijing officials. Every day, they repeat themselves, spending time in the court and pursuing their qualifications.

Just over ten days passed, and Wei Guangde did not take what happened last time to heart. He firmly believed that he did not like Hu Zongxian and returned to court, and Xu Jie would definitely not be willing.

In fact, with Hu Zongxian's qualifications, the governor who had been in charge of Jiangnan for several years, had the conditions to enter the cabinet, but he was from the third grade and did not have the status of Shujishi, so it would be difficult to enter the cabinet.

But who doesn’t know who had the stable imperial power after Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne? These people all joined the cabinet and became ministers. Their situation was similar to Hu Zongxian, and they all had no conditions for joining the cabinet.

Even Wei Guangde was worried that if Emperor Jiajing gave Hu Zongxian a minister of the Ministry of Rites in charge of Hanlin Academy, would the Beijing officials directly call him Hu Zongxian "Hu Ge Lao".

During this period, Xu Jie and Li Chunfang have been supporting the cabinet. He has not seen the order to arrange for the restoration of the people for a long time. Xu Jie was actually very anxious when he sat in the position of chief minister.

After receiving the news from Prince Yu's Mansion more than ten days ago, he was frightened and sweated.

Hu Zongxian, how did he get rid of offense at the beginning?

It was not that Emperor Jiajing's words, "Zong Xian is not a strict party, and he has never been defeated for several years" overturned all the accusations about Hu Zongxian.

Later, it was even said that Hu Zongxian was impeached by others, but in fact, it began with Hu Zongxian's contribution to auspiciousness, and then censors kept impeaching him for corruption.

Hu Zongxian had a great status in the hearts of Emperor Jiajing. After all, he handed over the wealthy land in Jiangnan to him and asked him to suppress the Japanese with all his might. Although he was unable to completely suppress the Japanese siege in the end, he would have eliminated a large number of Japanese pirates after all.

At least in the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, Hu Zongxian has the ability to stand alone and stabilize the situation in Jiangnan when the Japanese pirates were at their craziest. This is his ability.

Thinking about his situation, Xu Jie was really worried that Hu Zongxian would enter the cabinet and fight with him.

Although Xu Jie has been in the court for many years, he really lost a lot in the Holy Family. He could not compare with Yan Song before. Could it be that he would be suppressed by Hu Zongxian?

But he was also waiting, waiting for his arrangement to completely eliminate this hidden danger.

He was the one who sent Yan Shifan to the guillotine, and he was the one who took the initiative to weave the crime this time, and he was the one who wanted to die in Hu Zongxian.

Calculate the time, things should come.

In the past two days, Xu Jie was a little uneasy in the cabinet because the things he wanted had not been delivered, but he didn't know if there would be any changes in the West Garden.

The things were delivered before Emperor Jiajing spoke and after the opening, but the effect was very different.

At this moment, the Secretariat outside the door reported: "Ge Lao Xu, Zhang Yongming, the left censor of the Censorate, asked for a meeting."

When Xu Jie heard Zhang Yongming coming, he felt happy and immediately said, "Please invite him in."

Soon, Zhang Yongming entered the cabinet's duty room and bowed to Xu Jiegong and said, "George, my Censorate received a memorial from the Southern Zhili Censor Wang Ruzheng today. A batch of letters from the criminals were also received along with the memorials. I have asked someone to bring all the things."

"oh?"

Xu Jie asked in surprise at this time: "What did anyone say about the letters? Where did the Imperial Master Wang find it?"

"The Censor Wang was ordered to be a criminal Luo Longwen family and found his letters from Hu Zongxian and Yan Shifan in his home, some of which were written by him."

Zhang Yongming was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to introduce the situation. He had to take out a memorial in his arms and hand it to Xu Jie and said, "Master Ge, please take a look for it yourself."

Xu Jie took the memorial handed over by Zhang Yongming, opened it and read it carefully. At first, his face looked slightly shocked, and then it began to become unstable.

"Come here, please come and ask Mr. Li to come to my room."

After a while, Xu Jie suddenly shouted loudly to the outside of the door.

After saying that, he turned to look at Zhang Yongming and said, "Are all the letters brought to the cabinet?"

Zhang Yongming nodded and said yes.

"Quickly, bring all the letters in."

Xu Jie said anxiously.

"Just outside the door, I'll ask someone to bring it in."

Zhang Yongming agreed, then walked to the door of the duty room, and ordered the person outside: "Come in quickly."

At this moment, Li Chunfang, the second assistant to the cabinet, came not far away.

Seeing Zhang Yongming at the door, Li Chunfang did not act like a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, but instead bowed to him first, "Zhong Cheng is here too."

"Ge Lao Li."

Zhang Yongming also hurriedly bowed to Li Chunfang.

Standing in front of the door, Li Chunfang didn't rush to go in, but just watched the two lieutenants carrying a box to the Xujie Quarantine Room and asked in a little doubt: "What's this?"

The box was covered, and Li Chunfang didn't know what was inside, so he asked.

In fact, there is another sentence that has not been said, it is best not to be Bing Jingtan Jing in the box, it seems that it is a little too early to give these.

"The batch of letters that the Censor Wang Ruzheng found from Luo Longwen's home in She County were letters he had exchanged with Yan Shifan, Hu Zongxian and others. Some of them were extremely sensitive. The Censor Wang was worried that the offer from the Tongzheng and the envoys would cause unnecessary trouble and make the court lose all face, so he sent it directly to our Censorate."

Li Chunfang knew when he heard this that the letters in this box were probably something extremely hot, and hesitated for a moment.

Until now, he knew what Xu Jie meant to invite him over.

It should be that Xu Jie, the old fox, also thought it was difficult, so he asked him to come over and make a vote in the name of the cabinet.

After the box was carried into the Xujie Payroll Room, Li Chunfang followed tonight.

"Zi Shi is here, come and have a look at this."

Xu Jie knew about Li Chunfang and Zhang Yongming's arrival when he was talking to him, but he still shouted to him after he entered the house.

"Gemaster Xu, who is Zhong Cheng coming to impeach?"

That being said, Li Chunfang still walked over, took the memorial handed over by Xu Jie, opened it and read it carefully, and soon the corners of his mouth twitched.

Xu Jie didn't care about Li Chunfang's reaction, but Zhang Yongming kept paying attention. He thought he was shocked by the content of the memorial.

It was just different from what Zhang Yongming thought. At this time, Li Chunfang's mind was only four words circling in her mind.

“It’s so scary.”

Yes, these four words kept circling in Li Chunfang's mind at this moment.

He is not a novice who has just entered the official career, and he would not believe that someone would keep such letters at home waiting for someone to search. Especially Luo Longwen, who has been punished for being punished.

Such sensitive letters do not mean that they must be burned, but they must also be transferred to the location for storage. This is enough to cause Hu Zongxian and the death of the land.

Li Chunfang was somewhat suspicious of the authenticity of the letter mentioned in the memorial, and it appeared a little strange.

He withdrew his gaze, looked at Xu Jie with a serious face, and then looked at Zhang Yongming, who was both shocked and excited. The expressions of the two of them were different, and they didn't look like they were passing through the strings. For a moment, Li Chunfang was a little confused.

He had now figured out his thoughts. When the Censor Wang Ruzheng was ordered to search Luo Longwen's family, he found the letters he had communicated with others. When he was counting these letters, he found the letters written by Hu Zongxian to Luo Longwen, especially the self-written "Imperial Imperial Issue" inside.

Li Chunfang now wants to see the letter and the imperial edict.

His eyes couldn't help but look at the box that was placed in the center of the duty room, and there were seals on all sides of the box cover.

Obviously, when the things arrived at the Censorate, Zhang Yongming brought them here without even opening the inspection, because the memorial contained the content of this decree.

"Zi Shi, what do you think?"

Xu Jie's voice rang out at the right time, and Xu Jie wanted to ask about his attitude.

"Old Master Xu, please open the box and check it out, and then immediately bring this memorial and letter to the palace."

Li Chunfang answered without hesitation.

"Okay, Zhong Cheng and I are here, let's open the box together to check the authenticity of the letter."

Xu Jie said, and as he spoke, he had already stood up and walked around the table.

The three of them stood beside the box and walked around the box again to confirm that the seal was intact and there was no sign of the box being opened. Then they asked people to come in, tear off the seal and open the box lid.

There were as many letters piled in the box as many as half a box. They were not piled up randomly, but were neatly gathered. However, there was a letter on the surface, which was just placed on the top.

Obviously, Wang Ruzheng deliberately put it on his face so that they would not search for it in the pile of letters in the box.

After retreating from the left and right, Zhang Yongming bent down and picked up the letter.

The envelope looks very thick, which means there are more letter papers inside.
