Returning to the Ming Dynasty, the main text of being a fool, Chapter 263 of the main text of the Fu King arranged for the Fu to enter the cabinet of Beijing.

Four Cabinet Grand Secretary sat together to drink tea.

They are in a good mood. Over the past year, they have experienced too many things. It can be said that they have been worrying and fighting all the time.

But now it’s different. This period of time is very stable, which makes them finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Judging from the current situation, the situation in North Korea may have to be maintained for a period of time. At least there will be no major changes in the top leaders. The status of the four people in the cabinet should have been stabilized. This is the best news.

As for other things, they are not that important.

Xu Guangqi put down the teacup in his hand, glanced at several people, and said, "You have read the memorial. Your Majesty asked the cabinet to discuss, what do you think?"

Han Yu and others looked unstable, and their expressions were a little indifferent, and no one spoke.

However, it does not mean that they don’t care about this matter. Xu Guangqi is very clear about what they are thinking. In fact, the power in the capital has been almost divided at this time.

Sun Chengzong, Minister of the Ministry of Soldiers of the Cabinet University, joined forces with Minister of Personnel Zhou Jiamo, and was considered a force in the court.

Among them, Xu Guangqi himself has the power of the Ministry of Revenue and the Academy of Works of the Hundred and the Cabinet, as well as the secondary assistant of the cabinet, and the trust of His Majesty. At the same time, he also received the support of Shen Tingyun, the Minister of Rites, and was also the overlord of the party.

In addition to their two forces, the cabinet chief Han Du and the Minister of Justice Huang Kezhang have been very close during this period. It can be said that the two have reached a certain degree of cooperation.

Han and his team promoted the rule of law, supported Xunzi's thoughts, and also mastered the academy, which was also a relatively powerful force.

The rights and responsibilities of the three forces are clear and the division is very clear. Basically, no one can defeat anyone in a short period of time.

In addition to the three parties, the Tongzhengsi Department has also emerged in the court, and Wei Zhongxian from the East Factory is eyeing him.

It is said that the commander Luo Sigong is going to be finished in the past few days, and His Majesty is preparing to change a new person to master the Jinyiwei.

It can be said that the general situation in the capital has been clear, and the transition between the emperor and the minister has been completed.

Under such circumstances, the four members of the cabinet seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, and it was time to reach out to expand their influence and power outside the capital.

After all, there were a bunch of people standing behind them. In the previous game, they received the support of these people, and no matter what they do in the future, they still need the support of someone behind them. Now it should be time to reward merit.

Originally, Han and the other two had some headaches and thought they should arrange it slowly. But now that the matter between Tongzhengsi and Henan was concerned, the four of them suddenly had an inexplicable tacit understanding.

If Henan is cleaned from top to bottom, countless official positions will be vacant, from governors, from prefectures and county magistrates, as well as deputy officials at all levels, can all be placed in their own hands.

Although the four of them had such tacit understanding and thoughts in their hearts, none of them spoke.

Because they all knew that they could reach an agreement on dealing with the issue of Henan, but this involved the game of installing people. Everyone wanted to install people and got a higher official position.

After a while of silence, Huang Kezhang put down the teacup in his hand and said the first one: "Actually there is nothing to discuss. Henan officials are corrupt, collude with vassal kings, oppress the people, arrest what should be arrested, and sentence what should be sentenced."

"Let the Tongzheng Department find out clearly, arrest the people, and then send them all to Dali Temple for interrogation. At that time, the sentences that should be sentenced will be sent to the house, and the officials in the officialdom should indeed rectify them."

Several people looked at Huang Kezhang and found that since they converted to Xunzi, Huang Kezhang had become more and more cruel.

Corruption is not enough. It is a serious crime to put those people in the hat of making friends with vassal kings!

If local officials make friends with the vassal kings privately, there is already a meaning of indiscriminate intentions.

It was obvious that Huang Kezhang was arrested and interrogated. Their Ministry of Justice could also demonstrate his role and at the same time demonstrate Huang Kezhang's own governance attitude. This is very important.

The other three looked at each other, and no one spoke.

But they knew very well that this matter must have been done as Huang Kezhang said.

After a moment of silence, Xu Guangqi said, "If you have no objection, then do that?"

The other people looked at each other and nodded softly.

Han Du said, "Just do it like this. If you do something wrong, you must be responsible. Mr. Huang is right. These people are indeed too much, so it's time to clean up."

Xu Guangqi nodded and said, "Then this matter is decided."

The official’s affairs were decided, but there was also a King of Fortune, and this matter also needs to be resolved.

Xu Guangqi thought for a while and said, "What about King Fu? Do you have any ideas? You can't arrest King Fu and send him to Dali Temple for interrogation, right?"

As soon as this question came out, several people became silent.

In fact, King Fu should be sent to the clan mansion, but everyone knows that the place is a useless yamen.

If you want to deal with King Fu now, your Majesty will issue an imperial edict.

In this case, their opinions are very critical. After all, His Majesty wants them to discuss it.

If they don’t give any advice, they can’t pass the level of His Majesty and the level of officials.

"What's there to say about this?" Huang Kezhang spoke again, and said in a serious tone: "Just do what you should do."

"The evidence is conclusive. What King Fu has done has been found out. I think Fengyang should be sent to guard the tomb for Emperor Taizu, and the title of Prince of King Fu was removed, and all the property was taken back to the national treasury."

Several people looked at Huang Kezhang in surprise again. The meaning was very obvious. Don’t you think it’s too cruel?

He deprived a prince of his title and sent his family to Fengyang to guard the tomb. At the same time, he had to deprive all his property, and some punishment was exceeded.

The room fell into silence again.

After a while, Sun Chengzong spoke, and he said slowly: "It's better to formulate two strategies."

"One policy is to severely punish, and according to what Huang Ge Lao said; in addition, in order to be lenient, His Majesty issued an order to punish King Fu. All officials, all the officials and housekeepers in the Fu Mansion who participated in the case, will be severely punished and ordered King Fu to return all the land to the people and give compensation."

After saying this, Sun Chengzong glanced at a few people and said, "As for what to do in the end, it's better to let Your Majesty make the decision."

After Sun Chengzong finished speaking, Xu Guangqi frowned. He didn't know why Sun Chengzong made such an opinion.

To put it nicely, it is to let Your Majesty take the initiative, but it is actually to turn the blame on Your Majesty. Does Sun Chengzong think that Your Majesty wants to excuse King Fu? It’s just that he is hard to say, and he wants his ministers to plead for King Fu?

Don't say that there is really a possibility.

Not only Xu Guangqi, who had this idea, but several others suddenly thought so. Then in this case, it would be inappropriate to take the team.

After thinking about it, Han Du said, "Then do it like this."

So the cabinet came up with its own proposed opinions and severely punished all officials of all sizes in Henan Prefecture; for King Fu, they gave two ways of punishment.

If it is serious, then you will be exiled to Fengyang, deprive the prince of his title, and confiscate all his property.

If you are given a lighter punishment, then you will issue an order to denounce the people in the royal palace and severely punish the people. At the same time, you will ask King Fu to take out part of his property to compensate the people and return the land to them.

The cabinet's opinions were quickly sent to Xiyuan and handed over to Zhu Youxiao.

After looking at the cabinet's opinions, Zhu Youxiao felt that it was not beyond his expectations. If these cabinet masters could let go of officials from all over Henan, there would be a ghost.

There is a delicious dish, and for them, it is the best choice to chew it over and chew it.

Henan Governor Zhang Woxu, the son of Zhang Guoyan, is far inferior to his father.

Zhang Guoyan was a Jinshi in the 41st year of Jiajing and was appointed as the magistrate of Xiangling. Due to his outstanding political achievements, Zhang Guoyan was promoted repeatedly and served as the Minister of War. Later, he led his army to defeat the "barbarians" outside the northern frontier, and ranked first in his merits and promoted to the Minister of War.

After leading his army to suppress the Taohe Mutiny in Gansu, Zhang Guoyan was granted the title of Prince Taibao because of his "governmental contributions", and was given the official uniform of Feiyutu Embroidered, and enjoyed a first-rate salary.

Zhang Guoyan, a man of both civil and military affairs, can be said to be a capable minister among the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

But his son is not that powerful, and his path to becoming an official is similar to his father.

In the eighth year of Wanli, he was appointed as the magistrate of Songxian County. He was appointed as the Cao official of the Ministry of Rites, the governor of Henan, and the governor of Sichuan and Gui. When he was appointed as the governor of Sichuan and Gui, he was almost dismissed because of his defeat.

Later, he relied on Wei Zhongxian and was promoted to the Minister of Revenue and was appointed as the Prince's Tutor.

However, Zhang Woxue is also a capable person. After Wei Zhongxian was liquidated, Zhang Woxue was dismissed from office and returned home without losing his life, and he still lived to his 80s.

But it seems that this time it will be miserable. Zhang Woxue is now the governor of Henan, so he will definitely not be able to escape unscathed this time.

Zhu Youxiao thought about it, waved to Chen Hong and said, "Let the Tongzheng Department pass the order to Chen Sihai, and let him do it himself in Henan."

"Yes, the emperor. I will do it now." Chen Hong quickly bowed and agreed.

After Chen Hong left, Zhu Youxiao's hand gently tapped the handrail, and the expression on his face was a little hesitant.

He was thinking about the affairs of King Fu, and it would be impossible to deal with it lightly; but some of the more severe ones are too heavy to make a bad start.

You should know that King Fu represents not only a King Fu, but also a vassal king of the court. If you want to attack other princes, you cannot be too intense, otherwise there will be resistance later.

Although they may not be able to resist, they know what they will do. They have enough troubles now, and the things they have to face later are enough to make themselves worried, so Zhu Youxiao thinks that they should have a more relaxed way.

Getting King Fu to the capital may be the best way.

After thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao decided to do what he wanted. The cabinet did not give a very good idea, but it was good. They gave it one light and one heavy, and they just mixed it up.

So Zhu Youxiao ordered people to find several cabinet ministers.

After everyone was all here, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't be polite, everyone finds a place to sit down. I'll bring you here and discuss with you if you have something to do."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Han Yu and others quickly agreed, and then found a place to sit down.

After they all sat down, Zhu Youxiao said slowly: "King Fu is my uncle. Although he made a mistake, I really can't bear to punish him severely. Because when I think of my uncle, I will think of my father."

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao paused for a moment, looking sad.

The four major scholars present all looked a little weird.

What is the relationship between King Fu and the late emperor?

Although they have never experienced it, they have also heard of it. Are you sure that when you think of the late emperor, you are not thinking of killing the King of Fu?

But no one dares to say anything, exposing it at this time is equivalent to committing suicide.

So Han Du took the lead and said, "The Heavenly Family is deeply in love. Your Majesty values ​​friendship and righteousness so much. He is a model in the world. However, Your Majesty also wants to mourn. The former emperor has a spirit in heaven, and he also hopes that Your Majesty will cheer up his body and mind, work hard to govern and revive the Ming Dynasty."
