Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty Six: Hidden Emperor

Soon, the results came.

Zhang Guoji was the first to let go.

Zhang Jingyi immediately entered the interrogation room and sat down. He looked at Zhang Guoji. Zhang Guoji looked miserable, and his face was bloodless at this time.

What's scary is that there are almost no wounds on him, but at this moment, he looks extremely miserable.

Wu Changchun looked at Zhang Guoji with a grin and began to pack his box.

Zhang Jing winked at Wu Changchun, and Wu Changchun hurriedly bowed and then quietly retreated.

Only then did Zhang Jingyi smile and said to Zhang Guoji: "How is it, what do you want to say?"

Zhang Guoji said in pain: "Using such corporal punishment... to surrender, is this your method? What will the world in the future look like?"

Zhang Jing remained calm and said slowly: "In the local area, if ordinary people want to sue, I am talking about ordinary people... Often local county officials regard the complainant as unscrupulous people, so they often have to beat a killing stick indiscriminately. As for shackles and other criminal laws, it is even more common."

"In fact, what's the point? You think I'm tyrannical or not. It's not because people like you are so kind that you hate me, that I just put this tyrannical method on your own, who claim to be a scholar. So, let's not mention these unhelpful verbal disputes."

After saying that, Zhang Jingyi looked at him seriously and said, "After that, what other accomplices are there!"

Zhang Guoji closed his eyes and his mouth was trembling. After a long time, he said in shock: "Did other people... have they spoken?"

Sure enough, the situation has changed, and it is no longer a game between Zhang Jingyi and Zhang Guoji.

And it became a game between Zhang Guoji and Mr. Lushan.

Because the reason is very simple, they cannot be sure whether the other party will speak first.

Even if there is no greater trust between each other at the beginning, at this time, in a closed situation, this sense of distrust and anxiety will continue to expand.

Zhang Jingyi said: "What do you think?"

Zhang Jingyi looked at Zhang Guoji with a teasing look.

Zhang Guoji immediately understood that Zhang Jingyi would not disclose it to him.

So he smiled bitterly: "This matter needs to start with the expulsion and murder of the Donglin Party."

"At that time, I had an old friend who was beaten to the Donglin Party and hid in my husband's home. After that, this person returned to Jiangnan and thought... this matter would have passed. But starting from the previous year, someone contacted me."

"What do you contact?" Zhang Jingyi stared at Zhang Guoji.

"That's true... all the people of kindness and ambition hate Wei thieves and are willing to eradicate the traitors and support the country."

Zhang Jingyi said: "Does it rely on regicide to support the country?"

Zhang Guoji said: "At first, I didn't think about killing the regency, I just said, "I asked me to help me, and then... I came into contact with some scholars."

"Who are these scholars...?"

"The one who contacted me was Mr. Lushan." Zhang Guoji said seriously: "There are not many other scholars... actually."

"You still want to cover it up for them?"

"No, I'm telling the truth." Zhang Guoji said: "I only know that they are mainly in Jiangnan and have great influence."

Zhang Jing smiled and said, "How to do it?"

"It is reported that thousands of scholars gathered, and the leaders of the people who wish to call him a teacher tens of thousands."

As soon as these words were spoken, even Zhang Jingyi was shocked.

Thousands and tens of thousands, if you say a military horse, it would be nothing.

But if there are thousands of scholars, and most likely scholars with fame, then... it is not simple.

This is equivalent to capturing half of the scholars in Jiangnan.

So Zhang Jingyi continued to ask in surprise: "Are you just a group of scholars who are powerless?"

Zhang Guoji looked at Zhang Jingyi deeply: "At first, I just thought that it was just a group of scholars. But... later I saw their strength, and this person... was not an exaggeration to be called Emperor Hidden."

The Emperor Hidden...

When Zhang Jing heard this, she couldn't help but think to herself that Wei Zhongxian is 9,000 years old. She seems to have made progress now. Many people have already said that she is 8,000 years old.

Good guy, now he is a hidden emperor.

Zhang Jingyi said: "How to hide the emperor's method?"

"There are all national major strategies, and all officials are promoted, so they are controlled by this person. The result of the court recommendation is also taken care of by his hands!"

After hearing this, Zhang Jing frowned: "Even Your Majesty, you can't do this."

"But they can do it." Zhang Guoji said seriously.

Zhang Jing laughed: "You are talking nonsense."

"It's not nonsense. At first... I didn't believe it either, but two years ago, when the officials were selected, Mr. Lushan showed me a booklet in advance."

"book?"

"It is the list of officials selected. Who should hold a position clearly, who is the prefect of Songjiang, who is the Henan Provincial Administrator, who can be the head of the Ministry of Revenue... and so on, there are 132 people."

"What's next?"

"At that time, although there were many positions in the imperial court, the selection had not actually started. After reading the booklet, I felt that it was just a joke and did not take it seriously, but a month later..."

"How about it after a month?"

Zhang Guoji took a deep breath and said, "A month later, the result was revealed... Except for the three people who were not selected, all of them were placed in that position as written in the booklet, and they were not bad at all."

When Zhang Jing heard this, she suddenly said, "This is absolutely impossible!"

Zhang Jingyi didn't know that his expression was very serious at this time.

Zhang Guoji said: "I thought it was impossible, but in fact, all of this happened."

Zhang Jing frowned, walked back and forth with her hands behind her back, and said, "How did this be done? This is something that even the emperor could not do."

The Ming Dynasty had a set of rules for selecting officials.

Zhang Jingyi was right, even the emperor was not able to choose whoever he wanted.

In history, there were also some Ming emperors who opposed the opposition and chose some officials who were not from the imperial examination. However, in fact, such officials were called officials who were called officials of the imperial examination. To put it bluntly, they were probably similar to temporary workers.

If you really want to become a legitimate official, you must first pass the imperial examination, and secondly, select it from the Ministry of Personnel.

Even the Ministry of Personnel cannot say anything, because the Ministry of Personnel still supervises the Ministry of Personnel. Even if the Ministry of Personnel is willing to cooperate, there is a cabinet above it. Not to mention, the Censorate and Hanlin Academy next door are all staring at your Ministry of Personnel!

In addition, if an official of higher rank is higher, he or she needs to enter the procedure of court promotion, that is, he or she needs to summon officials of the fifth rank or above. Even if the emperor already has a more desirable candidate, if he or she is overthrown in the court promotion, he or she may end up with bad results.

If you are impeached by the censor in this process, this good thing may also turn into a bad thing.

This is why Zhang Jingyi said that even the emperor could not decide on the personnel of 132 ministers. He might be able to select some important ministers, but he could not do as he pleased.

Zhang Guoji said confidently: "This is a fact."

Zhang Jingyi said: "What other clues are there? You have to be clear. Even if you don't say them, others will explain them. And if what you say is different from what others say, if I know you are talking nonsense and biting around, then I can't blame me for being ruthless."

Zhang Guoji said: "I have never concealed it... The reason why I say that you are favored by others is because of this. The country has supported scholars for more than two hundred years. In the past two hundred years, scholars and you have become disunited and have reached the point of being irreconcilable. Isn't this enough to alert you?"

"At this point, you are still here to indulge yourself. Even if you escape this disaster today, you will sooner or later cause a disaster. You must understand clearly and clearly that they are not just me, but their people have long been spread throughout the court and have long been rooted in prefectures in the world."

Zhang Jingyi sneered, "Is that so? Unfortunately, I'm just hitting these shitty guys."

As he said that, Zhang Jingyi said, "Think about it again, what else should I confess to?"

After saying that, he walked out of the interrogation room and Wu Changchun waited outside with a smile.

Zhang Jing said with a stern face: "Have you heard what he said?"

Wu Changchun nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "I heard some."

"How do you feel?"

Wu Changchun was startled and did not dare to answer for a moment. It was not that he had nothing to say, but that he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing.

Zhang Jing looked through him and said, "You can say nothing, let you speak freely today."

So Wu Changchun said: "When the villain was in Liaodong, he also met many scholars who defected to Jiannu. Those scholars... were obedient and never dared to have any inappropriate thoughts. Therefore, although most of the masters of Jiannu were rough people, they were called the sage master in Liaodong."

"But when I arrived in the pass, the villain was shocked and couldn't understand it. They were all these scholars, so why were they all brave? It seemed that the world was just his family."

After saying that, Wu Changchun said in fear again: "The villain... shouldn't have talked too much, he will die."

Zhang Jing smiled and said, "Yes, it's strange to say it. Actually, I was shocked and I couldn't understand it very much."

Wu Changchun looked at Zhang Jing carefully and said, "Maybe, this is what people say... to promote Mien, fight Mien hatred?"

Zhang Jing nodded and then said, "Continue to serve Taikangbo, there are a few more. I want to pry out all useful information from them."

As he said that, Zhang Jing hurried to the next room.

Here, Emperor Apocalypse is already waiting.

When Zhang Guoji was willing to confess, in fact... Zhang Jingyi blocked the sounds from the interrogation room and the next door.

The reason is very simple. There are still many people around Emperor Aoki, so of course they can't listen to them all.
