The most reckless man in the Ming Dynasty

Gao Lu!

Qingzhou Guard Commander!

Upon hearing this name, all the courtiers looked confused.

Liu Yu's expression suddenly changed, and the previous ecstasy instantly turned into panic!

How could Gao Lu appear in the capital and go to the palace?

Damn it, isn't he supposed to be fighting the rebellion in Juzhou right now?

what on earth is it?

Because the communication was not timely and Zhu Maogong did not tell Liu Yu the entire plan, Liu Yu now has no idea what happened!

However, whether he knew it or not, Liu Yu instinctively felt strong uneasiness in his heart. He subconsciously looked at Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, hoping that Mr. Yuan Fu, who had been supporting him, could reveal some inside information at this moment.

But after Liu Jian noticed Liu Yu's look for help, he was indifferent and even looked cold.

But since this scene has been played out until now, there is certainly evidence!

Gao Lu took out a secret letter from his arms and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please see, this is the secret letter that that beast Bian Xiong wrote to me!"

"Send it over. Get Bian Xiong's previous reports and check the handwriting!"

When he was forcibly dragged away, he passed by Liu Jian, the expressionless chief minister of the cabinet, who was still shouting desperately: "Sir Yuanfu! Save me, Lord Yuanfu!"

Until Zhang Fuhua bit the bullet and asked: "May I ask Your Majesty, where is Shandong..."

"The three of them took advantage of their positions to gather local gentry to provide goods, including silk, tea, porcelain, etc., and colluded with the Japanese pirates from the Three Islands to smuggle for profit through the Prep Japanese Division!"

This time, Yuan Fu finally agreed with him!

"Then check it out!"

"I request you to immediately dispatch the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to form an inspection team of the Three Laws Division, stationed in the local officialdom of Shandong, suspend all Shandong officials such as Bian Xiong, Huang Xingfu and Zhu Maogong for questioning, and eliminate the malpractices in the local officialdom!"

Get to the point and hit the nail on the head.

Even if this secret letter was forged by Jin Yiwei, it is still true!

In the past, this little emperor was just a child who had not yet grown up, and all his thoughts were written on his face.

Such an ugly behavior is really disgusting!

Once the accountability system is opened, Liu Yu will naturally be arrested.

It seemed like an apology, but it undoubtedly confirmed that this secret letter was genuine and everything Gao Lu said was true!

The last one is Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

The truth is already very clear!

"Hahaha..." Gao Lu suddenly laughed.

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate will immediately hold them accountable and suspend all Shandong officials for ten years for interrogation!"

This is simply the biggest scandal since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!

Heavenly Official Ma Wensheng also knelt down tremblingly on the ground and directly apologized.

Since you insist on seeking death, then go and die!

The Ming Dynasty has never been short of officials who can handle things. One more Liu Yu is not too many, and one less than Liu Yu is not too many!

Soon Gao Lu, the commander of the Qingzhou Guard, was escorted to the palace, and he was still in shackles, and he came into the eyes of the officials as a prisoner.

Because of his voice, Liu Jian's old face was completely trampled to the ground.

It's okay now. Liu Yu has been arrested. What about you, Liu Jian?

For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly became weird!

Above the court, there is no eternal friendship, only eternal interests!

The sages have a saying: "If the king is not secretive, he will lose his ministers; if the ministers are not secretive, they will lose their virginity; if the affairs are not secretive, they will be harmed."

If you do not speak carefully, you will lose the support of your ministers; if your ministers do not speak carefully, you will lose your life; if you do not speak carefully, you will not succeed in what you are doing.

Even because Xie Qian hates evil, if he can really succeed Liu Jian as the chief minister of the cabinet, then he will become a sharp knife to eradicate his political opponents!

But the more he acted like this and the more calm he acted, the more panicked and uneasy the officials below the platform became!

"Bastard!" Liu Yu panicked instantly and immediately yelled: "It's just a joke!"

Then, there is only Xie Qian!

Compared to Liu Jian, an old fox, Xie Qian, an evil-minded official, is much easier to deal with!

When the gentry and gentry reached this point, it was no longer as simple as simply occupying national interests and preying on the common people.

Liu Jian, Ma Wensheng and Zhang Fuhua, the three true kings of the court, had bitter faces. Even if they had a premonition that this was a good thing done by the Shandong gentry, they never expected that these gentry would be so heartbroken and frustrated. Do your best!

His Majesty the Emperor was furious with thunder, and all the ministers bowed their heads and knelt down.

After all, everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knew that the chief minister of the cabinet had recommended Liu Yu again and again and promoted Liu Yu again and again!

"This beast even asked me to kill the innocent people who survived the rebels and bandits afterwards, so as to create the image of Marquis Zhongshan plundering and killing innocent people indiscriminately, causing the entire Qingzhou Prefecture to be destroyed. The tragic situation of the room being empty..."

Gao Lu was still talking plausibly, but the entire Wenhua Hall had fallen into deathly silence!

If the three true kings of the court carefully compare and confirm that this secret letter was written by Bian Xiong, then it means that all the shocking things Gao Lu said before are all the truth!

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar!

There is no evidence. What you Gao Lu said may be just lies you made up to exonerate yourself!

Since some people want to die, let them die!

Zhang Fuhua, the General Secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, immediately expressed his position, knelt down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the handwriting is correct, it was indeed written by Bian Xiong himself!"

Liu Yu never thought that it would turn out like this in the end.

He never thought that the three bastards Bian Xiong, Huang Xingfu, and Zhu Maogong would be so crazy and daring!

Gao Lu faced the questioning gazes of the court officials, suppressed the fear in his heart, and spoke with a trembling voice.

Liu Jian has really sat in the position of chief minister of the cabinet for too long, and it has hindered the interests of many people!

So this time, can we seize this opportunity to invite the chief minister of the cabinet and force him to take the initiative and leave the court?

Elders of four dynasties and emperors of two dynasties, so what?

Wasn't Wang Shu forced to retire from office in those days?

"Gao Lu, keep talking. If anyone dares to interrupt again, I will chop off his head!"

All the courtiers were so frightened that they didn't even dare to express their anger!

Liu Yu's face was even more pale, with no trace of blood on his face. Instead, his face was filled with despair!

"Bian Xiong, this beast, also asked me in a secret letter to control all the patrol officers and horses of the Qingzhou Guard, not to send troops to exterminate the rebels and bandits, and to allow them to roam around Qingzhou Prefecture, looting villages and towns and killing people, in order to force and threaten them. The Marquis of Zhongshan led his troops to suppress the rebellion!"

"Your Majesty, when such bad things happen in Shandong, our officials are also responsible for the unshirkable oversight. Please forgive me!"

"You, Gaolu, are unable to suppress the rebellion, but you are here to attack important officials of the country. It is really unreasonable!"

These gentry and gentry have already reached such a state of madness, should we still tolerate them to continue to cause harm to the country and the people?

After a long silence, Zhu Houzhao finally spoke.

On the platform, Zhu Houzhao had an expressionless face, frowning as if he was thinking about something.

Zhu Houzhao ordered lightly, and Liu Jin immediately started making arrangements.

They are all smart people and have enough self-awareness. Even if Liu Jian becomes official, the position of chief minister of the cabinet will not be available to them, so they are not interested in this position!

What they really want is for Liu Jian, the old fox, to leave the court. Based on the current situation in the cabinet, the person most likely to succeed the cabinet as chief minister can only be Xie Qian, the bachelor of Dongge University!

He, Liu Jian, has been trying his best to maintain the overall situation of the government and stabilize the operation of the court all his life, but there are these crazy beasts who like to go against him!

Whoever dares to shake the foundation of the country, Liu Jian will never let him go!

Hearing Liu Jian's words, the young emperor finally showed a smile on his face.

Liu Jian not only expressed his stance this time, but also directly made things happen!

Even if Zhu Houzhao is just a young emperor!

Gao Lu bit the bullet and continued to speak, detailing the rebellion of the demons of the White Lotus Sect in Juzhou!

"Bian Xiong, Huang Xingfu, and Zhu Maogong used their power to force Wei Zhang, the commander of Shandong Beidu Division, to turn a blind eye to their smuggling activities, thereby secretly colluding with the Japanese pirates for smuggling profits for a long time!"

"Yuansuke, Zongxian, Otsuka Zai, you three, take a look, is this written by Ben Xiong himself?"

This sudden move scared all the courtiers to their knees.

That secret message turned out to be... real? !

So, what choice should Liu Jian, Ma Wensheng and Zhang Fuhua make?

The three of them looked at each other, then picked up the secret letter and compared it with the report.

Is there anything else that the three of them dare not do?

"The three colluded with the Japanese pirates to resell goods for profit, not for a short period of time, but for several years. They included the various political envoys and inspectors in Shandong who had performed their duties. They were also involved... "

"The sinner, Gao Lu, comes to see Your Majesty!"

Since this is the truth, there is actually no need to compare handwriting.

There are currently four bachelors in the cabinet. Apart from Liu Jian and Xie Qian, there are only two Wenyuange bachelors, Yang Tinghe and Li Dongyang!

However, Li Dongyang hated the emperor and was being suppressed crazily by his majesty. He had long since lost contact with the chief minister of the cabinet.

Gao Lu no longer worried about anything and told the truth.

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar!

For a time, because of Liu Yu's last words, Liu Jian instantly became the target of public criticism!

"Shut up!" Liu Yu roared viciously.

"Later, the imperial court sent Marquis Zhongshan to lead an army to leave Beijing to quell the rebellion. After Marquis Zhongshan arrived at Shuicheng in Dengzhou where Beiwa Dusi was located, he learned from Wei Zhang that the problem with the three major coastal defense camps was in Wendeng Camp, and the commander of Wendeng Camp was used by Bian Xiong. The powerful force forcibly supports Bian Yuda, his nephew who is in power..."

It doesn’t matter whether the secret letter is true or false, what matters is the attitude of the three of them!

The reason why Zhu Houzhao asked Liu Jian, Ma Wensheng and Zhang Fuhua to check the handwriting was because he wanted to see the attitudes of these three court giants!

"Shut up!"

"Gao Lu, if what you said is true, then this case will involve all officials from the three local departments in Shandong. Have you thought clearly?"

Gao Lu understood his current situation very well. If he wanted to survive, he had to resort to serious crimes, and he also had to blame all the crimes on Bian Xiong, the commander of the Shandong capital, and even Huang Xingfu, the chief envoy of Shandong, and Zhu Maogongtou, the inspector-general of Shandong. superior!

Only by making this matter a big deal can Gao Lu have a chance to survive!

So Gao Lu said bluntly: "Your Majesty, it is clear that all this was done by Shandong Commander Bian Xiong, Shandong Governor Huang Xingfu, and Shandong Inspector Zhu Maogong!"

"You Liu Yu are really eloquent!"

However, this change made the civil servants and gentry stop their contempt and began to take the Ming Emperor seriously!

After all, the young emperor is also the emperor!

Soon, the armored soldiers came in, stripped Liu Yu of his official uniform, set him up and dragged him away!

Liu Yu's expression changed drastically, and his whole body began to tremble due to fear.

"Is there any evidence?"

However, the three of them knew in their hearts that everything Gao Lu said must be the ironclad truth, otherwise the Marquis of Zhongshan would not have been merciful and spared Gao Lu's life and sent him back to the capital overnight.

Liu Yu hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this beast clearly knows that a disaster is coming, so it bites people randomly with blood in it, trying to blame others. Please be careful, Your Majesty!"

Soon Bian Xiong's report was brought over, but the little emperor didn't even look at it. Instead, he turned his attention to Liu Jian, Ma Wensheng and Zhang Fuhua.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Lord Yuan Fu.

"Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning!"

Liu Yu now wished he could kneel on the ground and beg the three of them to say that this secret letter was a fake!

However, justice lies in the heart!

The three true kings of the court had already discussed this matter privately, but now they were just expressing their opinions in public.

"You said I was biting randomly? A few years ago, when you, Liu Yu, were serving as inspectors in Shandong, did you ever receive less than one tael of silver?"

What's more, this young emperor still holds military power in his hands, and the entire Beijing army is now under his control!

So, under this situation, it doesn't actually matter whether the young emperor is young or not!

Even with the Beijing soldiers in his hands, the civil servants and gentry would not dare to despise him as before!

"When Bian Xiong, Huang Xingfu, and Zhu Maogong learned that Bian Yuda had been captured by Zhongshan Hou, they immediately realized the seriousness of the problem. They understood that Zhongshan Hou was here for this case, so they took advantage of it. The Juzhou Rebellion was planned in an attempt to confuse the public and prevent the Marquis of Zhongshan from having time to track down those who colluded with the Japanese pirates! "

Zhu Houzhao slammed the desk, stood up and shouted angrily.

He knew very well that his next statement would cause the Marquis of Zhongshan and the Little Emperor to raise their butcher knives high and bloodbath the entire Shandong officialdom and Shandong local gentry!

However, this time, Liu Jian really can no longer mediate.

For their own selfish purposes, they can collude with Japanese pirates to smuggle for profit, plan rebellions and massacre people, and also want to use this to frame important officials in the court. Their crimes are so numerous that they are simply too numerous to list!

This is shaking the foundation of the country and the country of the Ming Dynasty!

So Liu Jian still made his choice, knelt down and said solemnly: "It was indeed written by Bian Xiong himself!"

Bian Xiong, Huang Xingfu and Zhu Maogong are really so heartbroken and crazy?

Liu Jian's face was calm, but full of vicissitudes of life.

However, no one dared to speak at this moment. After all, Liu Jian still had power. If they criticized him in public, they would be the ones who would not defeat Liu Jian!

Therefore, there was still silence in the hall.

Yes, is there any evidence?

You Gao Luyan categorically claimed that all this was done by Bian Xiong, Huang Xingfu and Zhu Maogong. Where is the evidence?

If looks could kill, he could not wait to cut this Gao Lu into pieces right now!

The same question appeared in the hearts of the three true kings of the court.

Now that you have made up your mind, go for it!

Just when he was about to speak out to refute and confuse the public, the Governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhang Fuhua, made a brazen appearance.

"Don't you want me to check it out? Then I will check it for you today!"

"The commander of the capital, Bian Xiong, sent me a secret message, asking me to find a way to use the demons of the White Lotus Sect to start a rebellion in Juzhou. I didn't dare to disobey the Shangguan's order, so I could only take two of them from the county jail. The White Lotus sect demons came out, then sent them to Juzhou to give them money and food, indicating that the two of them would be in Juzhou..."

This is a very simple logical question.

At this point, the three true kings of the court have all expressed their stance, and the crimes of Bian Xiong, Huang Xingfu, and Zhu Maogong are completely confirmed!

As soon as this idea came up, it grew like weeds in my mind!

The looks in the eyes of many courtiers looking at Liu Jian suddenly became dangerous.

A loud bang came from the platform.

Seeing his appearance, any fool would know that when he was the inspector of Shandong Province, Liu Yu must have been involved in colluding with the Japanese pirates for profit!

For example, once the civil servants and gentry opposed his opinions, he would fly into a rage, without any bearing and dignity that an emperor should have!

Collude with Japanese pirates and smuggle for profit!

Use the demon religion to massacre people and frame important ministers!

"Your Majesty, we must not only investigate these three people, but also investigate all those who have served as officials in Shandong in the past ten years. The Metropolitan Procuratorate should initiate an accountability system. No one can be spared who harms the people and shakes the foundation of the country!"

This time, he was really tricked to death by these three idiots!

Zhu Houzhao looked at Liu Yu. The deputy capital envoy who had previously shouted about the justice of his family and country, "please for life for the people," now collapsed on the ground with a face full of despair.

But if not, then this Gao Lu is just making up stories, framed important ministers, trying to exonerate himself!

I don’t know since when, His Majesty the Emperor has become more reserved, mysterious, and unfathomable, and it is rare to see him getting angry in public anymore.

This time, the entire land of Shandong will usher in a bloodbath!

Zhu Houzhao looked at the commander of the Qingzhou Guard with cold eyes, glanced at the surprised courtiers present, and then said directly: "Tell me, what exactly caused the rebellion of the demons of the White Lotus Sect in Juzhou!"

"The official was just confused for a moment and was deceived by them!"

Previously, the little emperor behaved like an immature child, so it was naturally impossible for him to gain the respect and support of the civil servants and gentry. He was not worthy of sitting in this position and making decisions about government affairs!

But now, the situation is completely different!

This is not a threat, but a guide!

Gao Lu was heartbroken. He had nothing to hesitate about. If he hesitated any longer, he, Gao Lu, would become the scapegoat of these three beasts!

The eyes of everyone present were all focused on the three of them, including Liu Yu.

And Yang Tinghe had just entered the cabinet. Even though he was His Majesty's Imperial Advisor, he had no qualifications, performance, or prestige, so it was impossible for Yang Tinghe to sit in the position of chief minister.

"You don't need to interfere!" Zhu Houzhao chuckled, "Isn't the Marquis of Zhongshan in Shandong? Leave it to him to handle everything!"

Ministers: "!!!"
