After listening to Fang Kun's investigation results, Li Jie recalled it carefully. The name Zhu Zhicai was a little unfamiliar to him.
"Are you sure Wang Bao was sent by this wealthy businessman Zhu Zhicai?"
Fang Kun said expressionlessly: "Well, I waited outside the door for another two hours and never found Wang Bao coming out!"
"Zhu" is a national surname, and not everyone can use this surname. As for the background of Zhu Zhicai, a wealthy businessman, we have to ask Lin Han for confirmation, but I don't know if he knows.
What is happening now is just the prelude before the storm, but the other party actually extended his hand to his home, which Li Jie cannot tolerate.
Fang Yi has been very distressed recently. It has been a while since he came to Beijing. The previous joy has turned into worry. The more he knows, the clearer he is that his identity is a burden to Li Jie and it is inevitable that there will be someone behind his back.
Ridiculing Li Jie, she is already very satisfied with her status as a common wife, but the fact that she is still undecided about her real wife makes her a little worried.
After much thought, he finally made up his mind and planned to express his feelings to Li Jie. He came to Li Jie and mustered up the courage to say: "Sir, I... I think you should choose your wife as soon as possible."
Li Jie was a little surprised by Fang Yi's words: "What? Did someone say something in front of you?"
Fang Yi shook her head like a rattle: "No...no, it's just that I think it's not good for the young master to be like this. The young master should marry a well-matched lady, so that no one will say bad things about the young master."
How courageous did an ancient woman have to say such a thing? Li Jie looked at Fang Yi with a look of pity and touched her bun: "Nonsense, no one will say bad things about me because of this. Don't make trouble.
..”
Fang Yi's eyes filled with mist after hearing this, and she said with a hint of tears: "I'm not fooling around, it's just that Yi'er feels that her status is really not worthy of the young master, and there will definitely be people behind her who will laugh at her, and I don't want others to say that the young master
Bad words.”
As he spoke, he burst into tears. Li Jie hugged Fang Yi and patted her vest: "Stop crying. Let's talk about this matter later. It's not the time yet."
Afterwards, Li Jie said a few more words of relief. Fang Yi's sobs stopped and her voice became slightly hoarse as she said, "Young master, you have to take this matter seriously and don't do it perfunctorily."
Li Jie nodded, Fang Yi smiled upon seeing this, and the pressure in her heart suddenly dissipated a lot.
It was night, the lights in the Qianqing Palace were brightly lit, and Zhu Youtang was reviewing the memorial as usual. He just saw half of the memorial in his hand and threw the memorial heavily to the ground.
"Hmph! These people are so presumptuous! I just tried out the method of drying salt in Fujian, and it has been passed by the court. Look! How many memorials have been issued to impeach Lin Pingzhi in the past two days?"
Wynn looked at the emperor with an angry face and said softly: "Your Majesty, this is inevitable. Isn't it the same with every change in the past dynasties? As long as your Majesty knows it clearly."
Zhu Youtang pointed at some memorials and said: "Look at this! Isn't it nonsense to impeach Lin Pingzhi for cheating in the imperial examination? Could it be that those examiners committed collective fraud?"
"Look at this article again. It's a joke to impeach Lin Pingzhi for overstepping his bounds! It is my will to let Lin Pingzhi participate in the court meeting. What does he want to do? Accusing me of being ignorant about hiring people? The most ridiculous thing is this one, actually impeaching Lin Pingzhi.
He shouldn't be engaged to a merchant's daughter, I think he should be a matchmaker instead of a censor!"
Huaien said: "Your Majesty, calm down, calm down, it's not worth hurting your body."
Zhu Youtang said angrily: "Huai Daban, please ask Dongchang to check these censors for me later. I want to see if their background is so clean!"
Huaien nodded in agreement. He knew that the emperor was really angry this time, otherwise he would not have let Dongchang intervene in this matter. I am afraid these censors were sad. They were clean, but they just lost the emperor's heart.
, if your foundation is not clean, you may not be able to escape losing your official position and losing your life.
Zhu Youtang vented his anger and gradually subsided, and said: "Huai Daban, do you think these people are still my ministers? It can be explained that I didn't know the method of drying salt before, but now that I know it, I not only disagree but strongly oppose it?"
Huai'en stood beside the emperor and closed his mouth and nose without saying a word. Zhu Youtang was stunned when he saw this, and then laughed and cursed: "You old cunning guy, I forgot that you never interfere with the government."
Wynn knew very well that this was just the beginning. Even if these censors were dealt with, it would be difficult to stop them. More people would rush to the stage one after another. There is still a long way to go to make changes, and this pool of water is becoming more and more difficult.
The ground is turbid, the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is filling the building.
In the Tianxiang Pavilion, Zhu Bin and Sun Yingjue were sitting alone in the private room. The usual singers, dancers, and musicians were all silent. Sun Yingjue said with a worried look on his face: "Xing Wu, are you sure the person you sent will not
Will my identity be exposed? What if..."
Zhu Bin interrupted impatiently: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, even if he makes a mistake, he will shut up. He is really overqualified for kidnapping a woman."
Sun Yingjue asked curiously: "Xingwu, who is this person? Why have I never heard you talk about him?"
Zhu Xi smiled silently with a mysterious look on his face. He was a dull boy, but he had not done anything in these years. He still had a few diehards on his hands. The Hu San sent this time was one of the people he had carefully trained.
The dead man worked diligently and without complaint, and his martial arts skills were also first-class. In his opinion, this time it must be foolproof.
Hu San carefully sneaked little by little inside the Lin Mansion. Although Zhu Xi told him that there were no masters in the house, he still did not dare to take it lightly. He slowly moved closer to Fang Yi's yard according to the terrain he had noted down in advance.
Li Jie was on his way back at this time. He had learned about Zhu Zhicai before and went to Lin Han's house to seek confirmation. The result did not disappoint him. Lin Han told him that Zhu Zhicai came from Prince Ning's house. This matter had some implications for some people in Beijing.
It was not a secret to high-ranking officials, and of course the emperor also knew about it, but because Prince Ning had never done anything arrogant, he turned a blind eye.
Li Jie was a little surprised to learn that the other party was from King Ning. Li Jie was no stranger to King Ning. During the Zhengde period, King Ning's rebellion shocked the government and the public. Wang Yangming shined in this case and put down Ning without any support from the court.
The king rebelled.
Of course, the current King Ning is not the Zhu Chenhao who will rebel in the future. Now Zhu Chenhao's grandfather, old King Ning, is still alive. It is not surprising that King Ning intervened in Yanli Li Jie. Zhu Chenhao's future counter-terrorism attacks are not a temporary move.
of.
What are we fighting for? We are fighting for money and food. Without money, where will the soldiers come from? It is only through generations of achievements that we have the confidence to rebel. However, now that the emperor is wise and the country is prosperous, it is impossible for King Ning not to see that there is no point in rebelling at this time.
The odds of winning were so high that during the Zhu Houzhao period, he saw the opportunity coming and launched a massive rebellion.
