Domineering Daming

Fu Changzong, Fu Tao and his son were both startled, what is this man doing here.

Prince Jing is also the head of the Governor's Yuan, but he is a cabinet minister after all, so he can't take care of so many things. Most of the affairs of the Governor's Yuan are being presided over by Vice-Chairman Li Rongbing.

This person was the servant of the Ministry of Rites during the Wanli period, he was low-key, independent, meticulous in doing things, strict with himself, and had a low reputation, but he had no bad reputation.

Although they have been in court for many years, Fu Changzong and this Lord Li really didn't have much contact with each other, they can only be regarded as nodding acquaintances.

Why did he come in the middle of the night when Fu Changzong was about to leave Beijing?

Fu Changzong, Fu Tao and his son looked at each other with some doubts.

Chapter 1502 Sun Chuanting's chance to win power again

After all, Li Rongbing is the vice president of the Governor's Council, a third-rank official, and he can't avoid it because of emotion and reason.

Li Rongbing was invited into Fu's mansion, looking at the compound that hadn't changed for decades without a hint of luxury, Li Rongbing took a deep breath.

He was not yet 60 years old, with thin corners of his face and a firm complexion. He walked towards the front hall of the Fu family under the leadership of the housekeeper of the Fu family.

Fu Tao had already avoided, and only Fu Changzong was sitting in the front seat, looking at Li Rongbing from far and near in the darkness, still thinking about his reason for coming.

Li Rongbing came to the front, looked at Fu Changzong who was sitting still, his face twitched, he knelt down with a plop, and said, "I beg Fu Ge for help!"

Fu Changzong's expression moved slightly, he paused, and said: "Get up and talk."

Getting Li Rongbing to call for help must be a big deal!

Li Rongbing didn't stand up, but knocked his head on the ground, and said in a sad voice: "During the 'National War', the subordinate officials were dismissed, and there was nowhere to vent their resentment, so they lingered in the brothels, drunk and dreamed of dying, and later one of them An oiran was pregnant and gave birth to a son. At that time, Emperor Guangzong succeeded to the throne, and the lower officials were reinstated. Worried that this would affect their official career, they entrusted their mother and son to the home of their friend Zhou Binheng, and named them Zhou Zhezhi..."

Before Li Rongbing finished speaking, Fu Changzong's face was already ashen.

In Beijing, there have been people who have been secretly colluding with officials at all levels, offering bribes or threatening them with excuses. There are more than 60 officials of all sizes. He was stared at by people from various departments.But they guessed that Zhou Zhezhi was just a pawn and was using him to catch the "big shot" behind him.

At that time, Zhou Binheng was a member of Tianqi for three years. He had been an official for more than 20 years. He studied behind closed doors and lived in seclusion. Naturally, he would not be the culprit behind the scenes, but he did not expect that there would be such a twist. The big man behind it would be the Governor General Vice President, Li Rongbing!

Li Rongbing doesn't show himself, but he has the real power of the Governor's Council. All the officials inside and outside the capital are under his nose. If he has the heart, he doesn't know how big a power net he can weave!

Fu Changzong was also shocked, he didn't expect Li Rongbing to be involved.

Regardless of the situation, Prince Jing cannot absolve himself of the blame, and the Governor's Council is bound to be purged.

Fu Changzong's face was livid, and he already had a bad feeling.

Sun Chuanting had always wanted to reach out to the Governor's Council, but King Jing kept blocking him, and he was impeccable in his work, so he couldn't find a chance.Now that such a big deal is being sent over, Prince Jing himself cannot protect himself, so how can he prevent Sun Chuanting from intervening.

The Governor's Yuan is an extremely important part of the "New Deal". Sun Chuanting has always felt that the Governor's Yuan is weak and has not played its due role. If Sun Chuanting is allowed to control the Governor's Yuan, his power will be truly incomparable, surpassing the ancient and modern prime ministers up.

Fu Changzong's eyes flickered for a while, and he suddenly said indifferently: "You have already noticed that the imperial court is investigating that week's suffering, and you know there is nothing you can do, so you come to confess your guilt?"

Li Rongbing knocked his head on the ground, and said bitterly: "In my Li family era, I was a scholar, and I was a clean and honest official. I have never had any insults to the family. All the faults are the fault of the subordinate officials. The subordinate officials are willing to apologize with death. Please Release Zhu Lian and spare the innocent."

In the case files of various departments that Fu Changzong had read, Li Rongbing was not involved in the case. Now he was afraid of the crime, so he surrendered himself first.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, only Fu Changzong was able to save Li Rongbing and release Zhulian. This is why Li Rongbing didn't go to Sun Chuanting or Prince Jing.

Fu Changzong thought about it for a while, knowing that the situation was serious and he couldn't let him decide, he pondered for a moment, and said: "I sent someone to call King Jing, you will come into the palace with me, do you have any complaints?"

Li Rongbing had already expected this result, kowtowed and said: "Thank you Mr. Ge for your kindness, everyone in the Li family will never forget."

Fu Changzong didn't care about the repayment of the Li family. What he was more worried about was that Sun Chuanting would become more radical after joining the Governor's Council.

Fu Changzong was even more worried, worried that Sun Chuanting's power would be too powerful, which would lead to unforeseen catastrophe!

When Fu Changzong's people came to the palace, after a brief notification, Prince Jing's face was extremely ugly, he gritted his teeth, turned around and put on his official uniform, and ran towards Fu's residence.

When Prince Jing arrived at Fu Changzong's mansion, Li Rongbing stole Zhou Zongzhi from him to the officials as evidence of crimes and corruption, and used this to threaten, or through bribery, or intimidation, to control many people, and involved In business, one positive and the other negative, these years have really wooed and controlled a large number of people, and the network of relationships is bigger than imagined, involving the whole court, inside and outside the capital!

Prince Jing looked at Li Rongbing who was kneeling down, his face was gloomy, and he wished he could eat him alive.

He has always trusted this person, and he has given power to him for seven years!

But she didn't expect that in the end, she would repay him like this!

After Li Rongbing finished speaking, he kowtowed to King Jing and said, "My lord, it's the subordinate who failed you and failed your trust. When I arrive at the imperial court, the subordinate will bear it all and ask for death..."

Prince Jing was about to grit his teeth, snorted coldly for a while, and said, "Do you think you can handle this matter? Let me ask you, who else is involved, what I'm talking about is important!"

Li Rongbing raised his head, thought for a moment, and said: "The official has done some research in the past two days, and all the elders' houses have people involved in hoarding land and doing business to varying degrees. There are several wives and concubines of Shangshu who have business outside. The official also heard that a nephew of Shoufu has nearly [-] mu of land in Shanxi, and he even owns a street of shops..."

Prince Jing didn't see this at all in the cabinet, his eyes were cold, and he said, "Did you keep this from you? Or was it suppressed by others?"

Li Rongbing looked calm in despair, and said dejectedly: "This person is very cunning, he didn't show up, he has been using other people's hands to act, and there is no way to catch him. Who dares to report such pretentious things. Now slander, slander the court An important minister is a death penalty, let alone a chief assistant who covers the sky with one hand..."

Prince Jing and Fu Changzong looked at each other, and both of them could see the seriousness in their eyes.

This is no longer just a matter of the Governor's Council, it involves Sun Chuanting, they need to be careful.

The two discussed it and decided to enter the palace. They have no say in this matter!

Zhu Xu is currently sleeping soundly in Zhao Jing's small courtyard, when Li Deyong wakes her up and rushes to Qianqing Palace.

The kerosene lamp flickered, reflecting the dim faces of the people present.

Zhu Xu was wearing unlined clothing, leaning on the soft bed, with a calm expression.

He didn't even look at Li Rongbing, who was kneeling on the ground, and said to Fu Changzong and King Jing, "I am not surprised or surprised that such a thing happened. I don't know if you have noticed that there is something wrong with the people around you, but the first assistant I told me a while ago that when the lights are dark, one eye is open and one eye is closed, he must have noticed it, so let the chief assistant deal with it."

What Zhu Xu said was simple and relaxed.Li Rongbing was cold all over and knelt on the ground motionless.

If Sun Chuanting did something, it would be easy for the Li family to be exiled to the South China Sea.

Fu Changzong and Prince Jing had the same dignified expressions. Sun Chuanting could do too many things with this opportunity.

Power will be further concentrated in the cabinet, in the hands of Sun Chuanting!

Chapter 1503 Entering Mongolia

With Zhu Xu's attitude, Fu Changzong and Prince Jing went out of the palace without Li Rongbing, but detained him in the cabinet.

Fu Changzong and Prince Jing went to Sun Chuanting's mansion together and talked all night long, until Sun Chuanting sent them away at dawn.

Sun Chuanting stood under the eaves in his unlined clothes, looking at the early white sky with piercing eyes.

It is simply a gift from heaven that Prince Jing put this handle in his hands.

With this to stop Prince Jing's mouth, he will be able to intervene in the Governor's Council, and through the Governor's Council, a sharp weapon, to forcefully control the localities up and down, and then push the "New Deal" forward with unprecedented force!

The butler stood behind him, feeling his master's galloping vigor, with a worried expression on his face.
