Chapter 310 The go-getters of the Civil Service Group
Hearing this, Forsythia opened her mouth and recounted what she saw and heard in the powder shop. Her delicate and pretty face was full of worry and she said to Zhang Jin and Zhu Lin: "Two madams,
If Mrs. Lin didn't lie, I'm afraid someone is really trying to frame the young master behind her back!"
After hearing what Forsythia said, both Zhang Jin and Zhu Lin looked serious.
The second daughter was born in a prince's family, especially the legitimate daughter of the family. The education they received since childhood was different from that of ordinary ordinary people's families, so Zhu Lin and Zhang Jin only listened to Forsythia's words.
Pay attention immediately.
Although Ms. Feng said that her background was not outstanding, she still had some knowledge. She knew very well that her two daughters-in-law were not ordinary women. Behind them, they were both from the family of the Duke of Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, so she said
At this moment, Mrs. Feng said to the two girls: "Jin'er, Lin'er, what do you think should be done about this matter? Do you want to send someone to notify Huan'er immediately so that he can take precautions?"
Zhang Jin and Zhu Lin looked at each other and heard Zhang Jin slowly say: "Mother, this matter must not be underestimated. The achievements that our husband has made this time are rare in this country. I am afraid that some people want to target your husband."
It’s not that simple. You must know that today’s people are not ignorant of right and wrong. If they want to frame my husband, it depends on whether they have the ability.”
Zhu Lin nodded at the side and said: "We in the Li family can't frame anyone if they want to. Do you really think that His Majesty's favor is gone?"
As the daughters of the prince, they naturally see things more clearly than anyone else. With Li Huan's current high position, it is not that easy to frame Li Huan. First, they must make the emperor no longer trust them in the Li family.
Otherwise, as long as they have the emperor's trust, no one can think of plotting against Li Huan.
After hearing what Zhang Jin and Zhu Lin said, Feng felt a little relieved, but she still said with a bit of worry: "Then send someone to inform Huan'er and ask him to be more careful."
Zhang Jin said with a bit of a smile on his face: "Don't worry, mother, we will send someone to deliver a message to our husband."
Next, Zhang Jin and Zhu Lin stayed to have dinner with Feng, and then chatted with Feng for a while before the two girls took their leave.
After leaving the courtyard where the Feng family lived, Zhang Jin's eyes fell on Zhu Lin and said: "Although what Forsythia just said is not evidence-based, we can't turn a blind eye to it. This kind of matter still needs to be discussed with several princes and marquises.
Just mention it."
Zhu Lin nodded slightly and said, "Before it's too late, I'll go back home to see my father and tell him about this."
Zhang Jin nodded slightly and said, "I'm also going to see my eldest nephew."

Zhang Lun looked at Zhang Jin and couldn't help but said in surprise: "How come my aunt has time to go back to the house? Could it be that something happened to the Li house?"
It is said that a married daughter throws away the water. After Zhang Jin married into the Li family, she rarely returned to the British government unless she had something to do.
Especially when it was getting dark and Zhang Jin came to see him in a hurry, Zhang Lun would not believe him if there was nothing wrong.
Zhang Jindang told Zhang Lun what Forsythia had seen and heard, then looked at Zhang Lun and said: "Although we firmly believe that no one can frame our husband, since there are people who are secretly contacting us and want to harm our husband, we still have to have something
It’s better to be on guard.”
After hearing Zhang Jin's words, Zhang Lun's expression naturally changed. He stood up suddenly and said with a gloomy face: "Okay, okay, these people are really not that peaceful. Let me tell you how come these people suddenly appear in the past few days."
All the people in the court hall were silent, and I never thought that they were secretly colluding with each other and had a bigger plan."
As he spoke, Zhang Lun looked at Zhang Jin and said: "Auntie, there is no need to worry. As you said, the general's sacred scroll is in full bloom with your majesty. How can anyone be able to alienate him? As for the crime of treason, it is simply
Nonsense.”
Zhang Jin nodded, and a cold light flashed in Zhang Lun's eyes: "I will send people to keep an eye on that Minister Lin, and find out who is behind the conspiracy to harm the general. Is it true that the general is easy to bully?
?”
Feeling the flash of murderous intent on Zhang Lun's body, Zhang Jin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. At the same time, Zhang Lun smiled at Zhang Jin and said, "These people are really tough. I really don't know what they are."
What confidence do you have to think of trapping the general? It seems that the general is not ruthless enough."
Zhang Jin couldn't help curling his lips when Zhang Lun said this. Isn't Li Huan ruthless enough in killing people? I'm afraid no one would believe this. Not to mention other officials in the capital who were confiscated and exterminated by Li Huan.
There are dozens of them, and even privately Li Huan is known as a murderer.
Sighing softly, Zhang Jin couldn't help but secretly lament that the officials in the court had really healed their scars and forgotten the pain. Li Huan had only left the capital for more than half a year, and these people had forgotten the evil reputation of Li Huan in the past.
Zhang Jin looked at the sky, stood up and said to Zhang Lun: "It's good that you have an idea of this. It's getting late, and I should go back home."
Zhang Lun quickly stood up to see him off.
At the same time, more than a dozen officials, big and small, gathered in the residence of Zuodu Yushi Chen Wenliang.
Chen Wenliang was transferred to the capital from the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate not long ago, took over the post of Zuodu Censor, and became the top leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Almost half of the dozen or so officials present were newly promoted censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In addition, there were officials from Dali Temple, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War.
Not to mention others, one of them, Zuo Yang, who was the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was among them and was talking in low voices with several familiar colleagues.
Chen Wenliang is about fifty years old, with gray hair, a slim figure, and a long-sleeved green shirt. At first glance, he looks good-looking and looks like a distinguished gentleman.
Chen Wenliang's eyes swept over the officials present, with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes, and he tasted the tea cup in his hand thoughtfully.
Regarding the purpose of these people's coming, Chen Wen's conscience was naturally as clear as a mirror.
It's just that these people didn't speak, so Chen Wenliang naturally stayed on the Diaoyutai and wouldn't take the initiative to speak.
A group of officials were talking to each other, talking about interesting things between the various ministries and yamen of the DPRK, and the atmosphere seemed to be quite harmonious and harmonious.
At this moment, Zuo Yang suddenly smiled and said: "Everyone, it seems that the time for the Grand Governor to return to the imperial court is within these few days."
"coming!"
Chen Wenliang, who had been sitting there, thought to himself, and his eyes naturally fell on Zuo Yang.
As soon as Zuo Yang finished speaking, he heard a doctor from the Ministry of War sneer: "Under normal circumstances, Governor Wang should have returned to Beijing by now, but today he is still staying in Yan'an Mansion.
, even the hundreds of thousands of troops gathered around us did not disperse."
Someone exclaimed: "How is this possible? The Tatars have been driven back to the grassland for nearly a month. It is said that the armies should have been sent back to their respective stations. Why has the governor not dismissed the armies yet? He...
…What is he trying to do?”
However, just by listening to the exaggerated words in the man's words, he knew that the so-called surprise was completely fake. The other party had obviously known about this for a long time, and was just showing it to Chen Wenliang, the newly appointed censor of Zuodu.
Chen Wenliang raised his eyebrows. He had just arrived in Beijing from Nanjing not long ago. Although he said he took up his post after entering Beijing, he had just settled down not long ago. To be honest, he really didn't know much about news like this.
To know about such a major military event, usually only a very small number of people in the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion know about it. Ninety percent of the people present are actually not qualified to know about such things.
The shock of the man just now was obviously pretending to be for Chen Wenliang, but many people were shocked from the bottom of their hearts, and they all looked at Zuo Yang in horror.
One of the Sixth Section officials was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Zuo Yang in horror and said, "Master Zuo, do you really mean what you said?"
Not only that official, but also many other officials' eyes fell on Zuo Yang.
Zuo Yang sneered and said: "My lords, how can we talk nonsense about this kind of military and national affairs? Everything I said is true. Wang Yangming and Li Huan controlled the army, but they ignored the orders of the cabinet and did not do anything.
Dismiss all the troops and return to the court to deliver military orders."
After hearing Zuo Yang's words, someone said in horror: "This... how is this possible? What exactly do Wang Yangming and Li Huan want to do? Could it be that they have treason..."
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible!"
For a moment, more than a dozen people had different expressions, obviously shocked by the news.
The reactions of these people fell in Chen Wenliang's eyes, which made Chen Wenliang secretly dispel his guard against everyone.
Being able to climb from the bottom to the current high position step by step, Chen Wenliang is certainly not a fool. Not long after he took office, Zuo Yang and others came to visit him. How could this not make Chen Wenliang wary?
Chen Wenliang had heard about the turmoil in Beijing to some extent, and he had no favorable impression of the arrogant and domineering general Li Huan.
After all, Chen Wenliang had also heard of Li Huan's evil reputation when he was an official in Nanjing. Not to mention other things, the relationship between the Metropolitan Procuratorate he is now in charge of and Li Huan is even deeper.
In the past few years, many censors have died because of Li Huan alone. Chen Wenliang knew very well the intentions of these people.
Originally, Chen Wenliang was curious about how these people would speak, and persuaded him to target Li Huan, but he did not expect that Zuo Yang would immediately reveal such shocking news.
At the same time, Chen Wenliang was also secretly surprised. Li Huan and Wang Yangming did not follow the cabinet's order to repatriate the army, but instead controlled hundreds of thousands of troops in Shaanxi. What was their plan? I really didn't dare to think deeply about it.
At this time, one of the inspectors and censors said: "Li Huan, Wang Yangming stood up with his troops, did not respect the court's orders, and wanted to rebel!"
Many people's expressions changed greatly when they heard this. Only these censors dared to speak so unscrupulously.
Sure enough, as the censor Su Cha spoke, the censor Wei Guang also said: "Wang Yangming and Li Huan are disobedient and disrespectful. As the censor and censor, we should report to the emperor of tomorrow and impeach each other. We will never allow such disrespect."
There are people who are disobedient to the laws of the imperial court."
Zuo Yang looked at Chen Wenliang who had been sitting there and said slowly: "Master Chen, what do you think?"
Everyone's eyes naturally turned to Chen Wenliang. You must know that Chen Wenliang was able to become the censor of Zuodu and take charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He was naturally not an ordinary figure. This man was the number one scholar of the Chenghua Dynasty, counted many emperors, and was in charge of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate.
For many years, in Jiangnan Shilin, he was definitely a Shilin leader who raised his voice and received many responses.
Chen Wenliang can also be regarded as one of the iconic figures in the civil service group. This time he came to Beijing, on the one hand, the civil service group placed their own people in the court, and on the other hand, they were in urgent need of veterans like Chen Wenliang to suppress the gradual rise.
The powerful Xungui Group.
Not only the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but also in the past six months, the civil service group has transferred more than a dozen important ministers with extremely high reputations and qualifications from Nanjing and local governors to serve in various ministries and yamen.
Chen Wenliang is not even among the top three officials who came to Beijing, but even so, Chen Wenliang can be said to be the core figure of the civil service group.
However, there are also various factional disputes within the civil service group. It is obvious that Chen Wenliang and Zuo Yang are not the same faction. Li Huan has a vague tendency to stand on his own side in the court, so naturally there are officials who are attached to Li Huan openly or covertly.
Although Chen Wenliang is one of the top officials of the civil service group, no one can guarantee what Chen Wenliang's attitude will be towards Li Huan, so this is what happened today.
Chen Wenliang knew very well that Zuo Yang and others came to see him today just to see what his attitude was.
He sighed softly in his heart. Even though he was being tested in this way, Chen Wenliang was not angry at all. The only reason was that there were too many duplicitous people among them in the past few years. So many people took refuge in Liu Jin, and many of his old friends turned against each other.
Criticize each other in the court hall.
Under the gazes of one after another, Chen Wenliang stood up suddenly, with a flash of light in his eyes and said: "Everyone, Li Huan, Wang Yangming is in control of the army, lingering and ignoring the court's laws. It can be said that I have ulterior motives.
He is the supervisory censor, and his duty is to monitor the world for the emperor and impeach lawless officials."
As he spoke, Chen Wenliang glanced at the crowd and said: "I would like to draft a memorial and submit it to the emperor. Are you willing to join me in submitting a memorial to impeach Li Huan? Is Wang Yangming disloyal?"
Chen Wenliang's eyes shone brightly on everyone present, and he almost saw everyone's expressions and reactions.
A hint of smile flashed in Zuo Yang's eyes, Yushi Sucha and Wei Guang looked at each other and smiled, while many officials among the crowd looked at Chen Wenliang with a little more recognition.
Just looking at the reactions of these people, it is obvious that they are very satisfied with Chen Wenliang's reaction.
At this time, Zuo Yang stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Master Chen is the leader of the world's scholars. If you go to the emperor to impeach Li Huan, Wang Yangming and Wang Yangming will definitely be able to alert the emperor if they have the intention of treason. Their contribution lies in the country, and they can cooperate with you."
It is an honor for the lower officials and others to jointly submit the memorial."
