The atmosphere of the Ganqing Palace became very gloomy.

Zhu Youting's eyes were still on Zhang Yue, with a complicated expression, as if he wanted to reexamine his brother-in-law.

"Uncle Guo, have you finished speaking?"

Zhu Youzhang broke the silence.

Zhang Yue said: "I have finished speaking."

"well!"

Zhu Youzhang sighed heavily before looking at the ministers present and asked, "Dear families, what do you think about what Jianchang Bo said?"

All the ministers were the mainstay of the Ming Dynasty. Logically speaking, no one wanted to be as knowledgeable as the ignorant uncle. But the problem is that the uncle has now broken the fig leaf of the tax revenue of the Ministry of Revenue in the Ming Dynasty. Even if the medicinal material merchants colluded with foreigners, it is far-fetched to avoid the problem of exhaustion.

"Gemaster Xu, what do you think about this matter?"

Seeing that others didn't say anything, Zhu Youzhang had to throw the problem to Xu Pu, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Others can say that they don’t know that as the chief minister of the cabinet, you can’t be alone, right?

Xu Pu Laocheng was serious and turned his eyes to Ma Wensheng and said, "As far as Jianchangbo said, it seems to involve military affairs in the northwest, so you should ask the Ma Butang."

Zhu Youzhang looked at Ma Wensheng again.

Ma Wensheng said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, since the capture of Hami in the middle of last winter, the Censor Xu Jin has led his troops to withdraw back to Jiayuguan. The remaining troops have not found out what the Turpan and the northwest foreign barbarians are moving. As for the remarks that the Turpan Khan Ah Heima intends to invade Hami, it is like the gang of merchants in the capital who collude with the foreign barbarians, there is no evidence."

In the six ministries in the central government, Ma Wensheng has a very high prestige. As the Minister of War, he was deeply trusted by Zhu Youzhan. Even Ma Wensheng said that Ah Heima wanted to counterattack Hami was false. You, Jianchangbo, had no power in the northwest, how could you know so clearly?

And what you said about the capital merchants who sell medicinal materials to the northwest and foreign barbarians is your subjective speculation.

You, Zhang Yanling, talks too much, does not mean that you have any reason.

Zhu Youting nodded after hearing Ma Wensheng's words, as if he agreed with Ma Wensheng's statement.

When Ye Qi, the Minister of Revenue, saw this scene, he felt a little relieved, thinking that Zhu Youzhang should believe in the "righteous minister" in the court and would not believe in Zhang Yanling's one-sided words.

Unexpectedly, after Zhu Youzhang nodded, he sighed again: "We need to check this matter in detail."

Ye Qi's heart, which had been slightly relieved, suddenly became hung again.

Zhang Yue was like a bystander at this time, and the reactions of people around the officialdom were made. But when he saw Ye Qi becoming very nervous again, he thought to himself: "You Ye Qi really think my brother-in-law is a fool? The military information and medicinal materials merchants in the northwest are at most uninformed. As for the matter of sacrificing the envy, the emperor can't tell the authenticity? A few things together, your Ministry of Revenue will have big trouble!"

Ye Qi regretted not what he should have done before.

It was originally in line with the public's opinion, and asked the Hukou Department to impeach Zhang Yanling, which made him afraid to interfere with the merchants associated with the Ministry of Revenue, which made Zhang Yanling retreat in a difficult situation.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yanling was so angry that he really dared to say anything, but if he had a plan in advance, he would not cause such a big trouble.

Zhu Youzhang looked as if there was no Ye Qi in his eyes and asked Xu Pu directly: "Gemaster Xu, how do you think you should start to investigate?"

Xu Pu said: "The East Factory should be connected with the Ministry of Revenue to make it appropriate."

"Um."

Zhu Youzhang nodded, as if he agreed with this view.

You can't just let one yamen investigate, so as not to have a blockage of speech again. Although this matter is related to the Ministry of Revenue, it should be allowed to be avoided by the Ministry of Revenue. However, it is too arbitrary to call Zhu Youtang, just because Zhang Yanling said something, he didn't believe that the Minister of Revenue, who had been appointed for many years.

Even if there is any doubt, the matter must be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue to reflect the emperor's trust in the Ministry of Revenue and important officials in the court.

"Then this matter will be investigated by the East Factory and the Ministry of Revenue. First, we must investigate the matter of the Beijing medicine merchants connecting foreigners, and further..."

Zhu Youzhang paused a little and said in a very strict tone, "I must give me a clear explanation for what I envy is!"

"I will receive the order."

All the ministers present saluted.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Zhu Youting looked at Zhang Yanling again, but his tone became softer: "Uncle Guo, you should be more careful in your daily work. As a court official, you must not be arrogant and do not overstep your own duties. You should not interfere less in matters that you should not be in charge, otherwise I will punish you severely!"

In the end, Zhu Youzhang still severely warned Zhang Yanling.

But no matter how you look at it, it seems like you are showing it to the ministers.

Everyone present is a discerning person. If Zhang Yanling was first sued for bullying and dominating the market, Zhu Youzhang did intend to punish Zhang Yanling. When Zhang Yanling is now eloquent in the court, the emperor will even punish Zhang Yanling, that would be too unreasonable.

Zhu Youzhang is about to disband the Qing Dynasty's discussion. Perhaps he realized that only warning Zhang Yanling is not enough to convince the public, so he added: "Uncle, I punish you to think about your mistakes behind closed doors and not leave the house casually within half a month. I don't want to hear any news about you again recently."

"I received the order."

...

...

Zhang Yue came out of the Ganqing Palace and was in a good mood.

He was imprisoned by the emperor and seemed to be punished, but with Emperor Hongzhi's wisdom, he could naturally know who was aimed at the Ming Dynasty court.

The court had its drawbacks, and those ministers were all very clear-headed but refused to say anything.

Even though my way of exposing this matter is a bit rude and direct, I can't resist the sincerity.

You forbid me enough, just to give an explanation to the court officials, which means you have no intention of protecting the relatives, but in fact you are full of your heart and want to protect me, my brother-in-law. It is enough for us brothers to know it, regardless of what their ministers think.

Besides, according to historical development, it is probably the case that Hami City will fall again in the past few days.

By then...

The most serious things I said have been verified. The rest seems to be a medicinal material dealer, and does it still need evidence?

The skill of debate is to put small things on big things. If big things are not false, then small things will be proved without defending them.

Zhang Yue invisibly made a trap for the Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Yueren came out of the Ganqing Palace and was going to leave the palace from Fengtianmen with all the ministers, but perhaps Zhu Youzhang realized that Zhang Yanling had committed a crime this time, so he specially sent Xiao Jing out and asked Xiao Jing to send Zhang Yue out of the palace from Donghuamen.

As a relative of the outside world, he has privileges even entering and leaving the palace.

"Uncle Guo, if there is any important matter in the future, you should say hello in advance first and don't say it out loud. If this matter is too big, it will easily affect the stability of the prefecture."

On the way to send Zhang Yue out of the palace, Xiao Jing was already in a state of being a veteran and gave Zhang Yanling a serious guidance.

Zhang Yanling said helplessly: "Eunuch Xiao, today I was temporarily summoned to the palace to meet the saint. I was completely unaware of it in advance. As soon as I entered the palace, I was labeled as bullying and dominating the market. It's hard for me."

"There are no medicinal materials in Jianchang Bo's mansion. This crime of bullying and dominating the market is completely out of nothing. I just reported what I know, which is purely forced."

After hearing this, Xiao Jing had nothing to say except for a bitter smile.

Because before the incident, he completely believed what the civil officials said, and felt that Zhang Yanling was just doing evil again, and was still thinking about letting the emperor punish Zhang Yanling for a small punishment.

No matter how you look at it, it seems that the Ministry of Revenue is causing trouble.

This time he also gained insight.

Just as the two were about to approach Donghuamen, there was a sudden noise not far away, but a half-year-old boy was taking advantage of the spring to fly kites with a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

"It's His Highness the Crown Prince." Xiao Jing looked embarrassed.

He was ordered to send Zhang Yanling out of the palace. The prince was usually arrogant and caused some trouble on the way, but he could not go back in time to report to Zhu Youting.

On the other side, the young prince Zhu Houzhao saw Xiao Jing and Zhang Yue coming and handed the kite to the eunuch beside him, and ran here excitedly.

"Second uncle, second uncle."

Zhu Houzhao greeted Zhang Yue from a distance.

When the naughty child came, Zhang Yue bowed and bowed and said, "I have seen His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Houzhao grabbed Zhang Yue's sleeve in the morning uniform and said, "My second uncle is so polite today. Let's go. I'm so bored. Let's go out of the palace to play with me. Let's go to the city to see you."

Xiao Jing was shocked and was about to remind Zhang Yue not to.

Zhang Yue had already raised his face and said, "The prince wants to leave the palace, and he must first get the consent of His Majesty. I am not qualified to take the prince out of the palace. I still have important things to do today, so I can only say goodbye to the prince."

Perhaps Zhang Yue said this too formally, which made Zhu Houzhao stunned.

"Second uncle, are you okay?"

Zhu Houzhao scratched her head, looking puzzled.

Xiao Jing said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince may not know that the uncle of the country was just punished by His Majesty and could not leave the house casually, so... he could not take the crown prince out of the palace to play."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhang Yue with the same sympathy and said, "It turns out that my second uncle was also punished by his father. Forget it, I will not make things difficult for you. When will you be suspended from your stay, I will take you out for a walk. It's so pitiful!"

Hey!

This little guy is a little guy, and he can also play with and mock people.

Who learned the problem from?

Zhang Yue almost had to make a good argument with this little guy.

"Uncle, let's go quickly."
