It's just that he hasn't fully figured it out yet, nor has he fully made up his mind. He simply treats Liu Haojia as a military general. This is what he wants to do to help. But he also understands Emperor Wanli. When he saw Emperor Wanli's appearance
He felt that something had changed at that moment, so he carefully gathered his thoughts and stood still, waiting to see how the situation would develop.
After the courtiers paid homage to Emperor Wanli, the court meeting was officially held. Then each matter was reported and quickly resolved by Zhang Juzheng and others. The whole process was so uneventful, but everyone clearly felt that the entire hall
There is a strange atmosphere brewing inside!
Especially the courtiers who have grown up in age have long discovered that Emperor Wanli is so excited today! Although he has tried hard to suppress it, some of his emotions still leak out occasionally, which makes them even more confused. Is he ready to give up Liu Haojia, his confidant?
Is he going to do it? Or does he have any confidence that he can get through this disaster? 33??qxs??.????m
The matters that needed to be resolved were quickly dealt with in the rapid discussion. After more than half an hour, the entire hall had quieted down. The courtiers had no more questions and were waiting for He Xianli to leave. But these few days
But this person stood in the class like a turtle with his head down, without raising his head! This made everyone feel very bad!
But how could Emperor Wanli, who already knew the outcome, let go of such an interesting opportunity? He sat on the dragon throne and said calmly: "Dear ladies, do you still have the notes?"
What greeted him was silence. Seeing this scene, Emperor Wanli couldn't hold back anymore, so he simply called by name and said: "He Xianli of the Ministry of Revenue, and Jiang Yuzhong of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, are you two in the class?"
Hearing Emperor Wanli's words, He Xianli and Jiang Yuzhong lamented in their hearts! Although they had known for a long time that today's test might not be easy, they still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping that they could get through it! But what they didn't expect was that it was Emperor Wanli who
Be the first to call their names!
The two had no choice but to go out and kneel down. After they finished saluting, Emperor Wanli said with a smile: "The two Qing family went to Tianjin to check the accounts this time. I wonder how the check went? Is Wu Ninghou suspected of corruption?
Where?"
He Xianli looked at each other helplessly, both expecting the other to speak. However, He Xianli was the main force in checking the accounts after all. In desperation, he could only take a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, I have verified all the accounts in Tianjin. The accounts are clear and the banknotes are clear."
The accounts match, and there is no corruption in them!"
Jiang Yuzhong also quickly stepped forward and said loudly: "I second the proposal!"
As soon as the two people finished speaking, there was a noise in the entire hall! The courtiers who knew the details were all surprised and talking, and many courtiers looked at the two of them with angry eyes. It seemed that the two of them had become traitors.
generally!
Under such gazes, He Xianli and He Xianli could only bend down and pretend not to see. But those gazes made their backs hurt!
However, Emperor Wanli did not intend to let them go so easily. Instead, he said in a very interested tone: "Oh, I heard that before you left the capital, there were people everywhere preaching how corrupt and tyrannical Wu Ninghou was. Is this so?
Is there really nothing like this?"
He Xianli could only bend his waist lower and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have already checked and there is absolutely no such thing!"
Now the main hall that had just been quiet became noisy again! This interrupted Emperor Wanli's interest and made him very unhappy! He immediately turned his head to look at the censor standing under the imperial steps, only to find that this censor was responsible for the discipline of the hall
He also looked stunned!
Emperor Wanli, who couldn't laugh or cry, had to cough heavily before he could react. The censor woke up and hurriedly shouted: "Be quiet, be quiet! Be careful of the royal misconduct!"
He shouted three times before finally suppressing the discussion in the hall. At this time, Emperor Wanli lowered his head and looked at He Xianli and He Xianli. Originally, he had the intention of teasing the two of them, but when he saw Jiang Yuzhong, his heart
A burst of anger arose, and I suppressed my thoughts of teasing!
Then he raised his head and said loudly: "Are Wu Yunshan of the Ministry of War and Xu Wanjiang of the Jinyi Guard there?"
Hearing this, the two men also knelt down on the ground with bitter expressions on their faces. However, this time Emperor Wanli did not let them stand up at all, and directly asked: "How about you two going to Tianjin to inspect the troops?
"
Xu Wanjiang knelt on the ground and put his head close to the ground without moving, as if he would not open his mouth even if he was beaten to death. In desperation, Wu Yunshan had no choice but to say loudly: "Your Majesty, I have counted the Wu'an Army and confirmed that there are no soldiers in the Wu'an Army.
He is well-equipped with equipment and well-trained, making him a first-class strong soldier!"
The courtiers had already had a premonition before they spoke, and it was estimated that the two of them could not say anything bad about Wu Ninghou! But after the two of them finished speaking, the courtiers still made a noise of surprise, but the imperial court reacted
Shi immediately suppressed it!
This was when Emperor Wanli was leaning on the dragon chair and said: "The four of you went to Tianjin and you didn't find any problems. In other words, is Wu Ninghou a capable minister and official?"
When the four people heard this, they could only say in unison: "Yes!"
At this time, Emperor Wanli suddenly leaned forward and said loudly: "You are so protective of Wu Ninghou, is there any reason for him to catch him? Come on, tell me, I will pardon you and others without guilt! And if this is really the case.
, I will definitely deal with him severely!"
When Emperor Wanli asked this question, the four people were heartbroken! This was tantamount to exposing the matter to the world. How could they have the dignity to serve as officials in the future! The courtiers next to them even cursed in their hearts, Zhang
Shi must have told the truth when he returned to the palace last night. You clearly knew that these four people were already under the control of Wu Ninghou, why did you bring this up?
But the four of them did not dare to really clarify the matter, which is the real way to death! So the four of them knelt down and said loudly: "I did handle it impartially!"
"Your Majesty, everything I said is true and there is nothing false!"
"If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to check!"
Xu Wanjiang even said loudly: "I have been working diligently since I became an official. How could there be any clues that fell into the hands of Marquis Wu Ning? Your Majesty must not listen to other people's lies!"
When the courtiers heard what He Xianli and the other three said, they were pretty well behaved, but when they heard what Xu Wanjiang said, they almost didn't know what they felt in their hearts. Didn't your words make it clear that they were being manipulated?
Even Emperor Wanli couldn't bear it when he heard this and burst out laughing! However, he also knew that it was unreasonable to laugh out loud at this time, so he quickly calmed down and said loudly: "In that case,
Are you sure that there is nothing wrong with Wu Ninghou?"
