Domineering Daming

Bi Ziyan listened to Bi Zisu's tirade, looked up at him, and said indifferently: "I heard that some governors in your south are doing something called 'Seven Provinces Jointly Responding to Disasters'. This time, you are speaking to me on behalf of them. of?"

Bi Zisu became more and more angry, and said: "Brother, we are doing it for your own good! The emperor can tolerate you, but it doesn't mean he will tolerate you all the time. You are almost 70 years old. If you don't care about yourself, you have to think about your relatives, right? If you Will they have a good life if they go like this? Do they still have a future? Are you happy if you really have to betray your relatives and go to jail? Stop now, and you can still be honored and return home in rich clothes. Obsessed with obsession."

Bi Ziyan turned a deaf ear to Bi Zisu's words, looked at him calmly and said, "No matter who you are speaking for, go back and tell them, honestly do things according to the cabinet's plan, keep yourself upright, and serve the country with justice. Slack is not lazy, other things, I will turn a blind eye to it."

Bi Zisu's face suddenly showed an angry look of "angry for not fighting, mourning for misfortune", and said in a deep voice: "brother, why don't you understand! I'm doing this for your own good. Isn't it good to retire early and live a good life?" ? If you keep going on, you will destroy yourself sooner or later!"

Chapter 1248

Bi Ziyan naturally knew that there were always people who hoped that he would retire as soon as possible.

Especially after it was reported that he was about to retire, the number of eager people suddenly increased and became more intense.

It's just that he didn't expect that the first person to be a lobbyist would be his own brother!

Hearing Bi Zisu's facial expression and words for him, Bi Ziyan remained motionless, and when Bi Zisu could not bear to speak again, Bi Ziyan said: "I have a Siamese fruit here, I guess you all If you haven’t eaten, take some back. After you go back, you will be an official according to your duties, and at other times, close the door and don’t say much.”

Hearing what he said, Bi Zisu suddenly became angry and said, "Brother, why are you so stubborn! If you don't leave, they won't be so easy to talk to! Is it true that you have been an official for decades? Even if there are They will also find out even a trace of bad deeds, and drive you out of the court, and now you can go away in a good manner, do you have to wait until you are driven away, and you are in a mess before you regret it?"

Bi Ziyan looked at Bi Zisu, his tone was suddenly severe, and he said coldly: "If you still don't understand, I will take your office and send you to prison now, so as not to end up miserable in the future!"

"Brother!" Bi Zisu was furious, slapped the table and stood up.

He was really angry, and he came to admonish him with good intentions, all for the good of Bi Ziyan.In the end, this elder brother was still unwilling to be cruel to others, but he wanted to send his own younger brother to prison!

In the world, is there such a brother?

Bi Ziyan looked up at him, with a cold expression on his face, and said: "You have to understand, I can take your official position and send you to prison at any time. I don't want to die in prison. After I go back, I will take leave. When I retire, you Come out again!"

Bi Zisu, who is in his dozens years old, is not a fool. After listening to Bi Ziyan's words, he pondered the taste, frowned tightly, with a worried look on his face, and said, "Brother, is it really so dangerous?"

In his mind, Bi Ziyan had served as "Chief Assistant" for nearly ten years, and had great prestige. If he left now, no one would be able to do anything to him. With the addition of the Holy Family, he would have a good death, and there would be absolutely no problem in caring for his life.

But listening to Bi Ziyan's words, it seemed that it was not what he thought.

Seeing that Bi Zisu could still listen, Bi Ziyan looked a little better, took a sip from his teacup, and said slowly: "Starting with that Yan Shoufu, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, etc. behind, which one? It’s not that the prestige is grand, and the world looks up to it, but you have seen the final result. I have been in power for more than 20 years, and the “New Deal” has been in place for ten years. I don’t know how many people want me to be hacked into pieces before I die. I want to Anwen, at this time, don't do anything, don't say anything, understand?"

Bi Zisu's heart was awe-inspiring, his face was sullen, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

He originally wanted to take a step further in Bi Ziyan's shadow, but now it seems that keeping his eyes is the key.

After a long silence, Bi Zisu said in a deep voice, "Brother, who is going to deal with you?"

Bi Ziyan glanced at him, and said: "Don't ask if you shouldn't ask, go back early, don't let more people notice."

Bi Zisu hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Okay, brother, be careful, if you have anything to write to me, I can still help."

Bi Ziyan ignored him and asked someone to send him away.

After a while, Zheng Youyuan came in and said, "My lord, there has been a lot of turmoil in Shenlong Mansion recently, and there are many voices from various quarters."

"They all want me to leave Shenlong Mansion as soon as possible?" Bi Ziyan glanced at him like a prophet.

Zheng Youyuan bowed and said, "Yes. Feng Jiangfeng sent someone to deliver a letter, asking me to persuade you. The Shenlong Mansion brings nearly 500 million taels of tax to Jiangsu every year. Now they need money everywhere, and they are very cautious."

Feng Jiangfeng, who participated in politics from the left in Jiangsu, originally participated in politics from the right, and took Xu Jie's vacancy.

Bi Ziyan looked at Canqi, and said expressionlessly: "Chen Qiyu also has this attitude?"

"Governor Chen didn't speak, and has been walking around below recently." Zheng Youyuan said cautiously.

Bi Ziyan played the chess pieces casually, and said indifferently: "The influence of Shenlong Mansion is getting bigger and bigger, and we need to control it earlier. If Shenlong Mansion is allowed to expand, the emperor may not be able to control it in the future. Such a large amount of money is flowing every year. , do you really feel safe drinking?"

Bi Ziyan's words are simple and clear. He is worried about one thing: capital.

After all, he has been a senior official of Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years, and he can see many things that others cannot see.If the capital cannot be controlled, it will be considered a monster out of control, it will swallow Daming and everything!

Ceremony and music collapse, and the morals of the world do not exist, these are just around the corner!

Zheng Youyuan could understand Bi Ziyan's meaning, changed his mind, and said over and over again: "Your Excellency, you are worrying too much, everything is under the control of the imperial court, as long as the 'New Deal' continues to be implemented and all departments perform their duties effectively, there will be no problems. Things are getting out of hand, and the officer is convinced of that."

Bi Ziyan lowered his hands a few times, and suddenly said: "Get ready for the carriage, I'm going to see Mrs. Chen."

Zheng Youyuan's complexion changed suddenly, his brows were sullen, and he was worried, and said, "My lord, do you really want to do this?"

Even Zheng Youyuan felt that Bi Ziyan was too aggressive, and Bumbutai didn't know how to get angry if he knew that Bi Ziyan had just hit the door.

Can't you really wait a little longer and take it easy?

After Bi Ziyan said this, he got up and walked outside, ordering people to take court clothes and prepare gifts.

Zheng Youyuan had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Bi Ziyan, feeling very uneasy, worried that this matter would anger the emperor of Qianqing Palace.

But before Bi Ziyan got into the carriage, an official of the cabinet hurried over, handed over a letter, and said in a hurry: "Mr. Ge, Li Zhongshu is urgent to send a letter, and it is urgent for eight hundred miles."

Bi Ziyan paused, he still trusted Li Youtang very much, stood under the carriage to receive the letter, opened it, his expression changed slightly.

Zheng Youyuan came over and said in a low voice: "My lord, could something have happened in Beijing?"

He is the former secretary of the cabinet and Bi Ziyan's confidant, and he also knows the affairs in Beijing very well.

Bi Ziyan handed the letter to him, and then said: "I won't go, get ready, change the route to Zhejiang, and leave early tomorrow morning."

Zheng Youyuan heard Bi Ziyan's words before reading the letter, his face was startled, and he quickly read the letter again.

At a glance, Zheng Youyuan's expression also changed suddenly, and then became solemn.

According to Li Youtang's letter, some clans in central Beijing have recently jointly sued Fu Changzong, an assistant minister of the cabinet, claiming that when Jin Yiwei confiscated their ancestral property, the household department forcibly plundered their legal property. Now the whereabouts of these properties is a mystery. Corruption of ink requires the court to investigate thoroughly.

If it's just a letter of complaint, no matter if it reaches the Governor's Council, the cabinet, or even the imperial court, it's easy to say, and there is always a way to suppress it.

But this time, they filed a complaint in Dali Temple with their real names. Before the complaint was made, it was already very powerful, and everyone in the capital knew about it. Now it may have spread all over the world.

The imperial clan of the Ming Dynasty has now withered and fallen into pieces, those who were killed, expelled, exiled, and fortunately survived, less than ten fingers.

The cases of these clans are all imperially determined, the evidence is conclusive and indisputable.

It stands to reason that under the authority of the current emperor, no one dares to jump out and make irresponsible remarks.But the paradox appeared, these impatient "clan remnants" sued Fu Changzong together, demanding that Fu Changzong return their "legal property"!

This is equivalent to suing the emperor and asking the emperor to return their property!

Isn't this a joke?Will the emperor deny the case he personally decided and slap his face for the world to see?

Even a fool can understand that doing so is a dead end!

However, there is such a group of people who did it, and they did it aggressively, and the world knows it!

Zheng Youyuan was shocked. Seeing Bi Ziyan who turned and walked back, he quickly caught up and said in a low voice: "My lord, such a big incident happened in Beijing, why don't you go back to Beijing?"
