Involving the case of Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others with Fu Changzong, these people's methods became more and more clever.

Zhu Xu glanced at Liu Shimin, picked up the bowl, and said, "I did this."

Liu Shimin was startled for a moment, and then realized that Huitong Trading Company originally belonged to the emperor, and this matter was probably related to the emperor, but he didn't think of it for a while.

"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Liu Shimin asked.The case of Yang Lian and others is an iron case, and it is absolutely not allowed to reverse the case. The purpose of this group of people is: either Yang Lian should be acquitted, or Fu Changzong's family will be involved!

The emperor will never allow the Fu family to be attacked and overthrown, let alone it is aimed at him!

Zhu Xu calmly said, "What's the situation outside?"

Liu Shimin said: "This matter is a bit strange. The investigation should have been dealt with by the Ministry of Criminal Justice or the Anti-Corruption Bureau, but the accuser went directly to Dali Temple, and there has been no response from Dali Temple."

Zhu Xu shook his head, showing disdain, and said: "Since these people want to play, I will take them to play and let me watch. I want to walk in front of them every step of the way. Some things are not good without them. Do."

Liu Shimin bowed slightly and said, "Yes."

Zhu Xu waved his hand, then ate, and then teased the two little guys for a while, before going to the imperial study.

The cabinet became busy. Since it was going to invite officials from all over the country to Beijing for a conference, the preparations in the early stage were indispensable. In addition to other things, it was really busy without touching the ground, and there was no spare time.

Zhou Yingqiu caught up with Fu Changzong that day, and after listening to his advice, he finally figured it out. Knowing that they, people from the "imperial party", would not join the cabinet, his mentality gradually stabilized, and he was cooperating with the cabinet while making preparations.

Without the worries and constraints of the Six Ministries, Bi Ziyan made his administration smoother and bolder. In the past, he was cautious and hid things that he didn't dare to touch. This time, he pushed forward one by one without hesitation.

The cabinet changed almost overnight. It was strong, fierce, and decisive. Not only were the six ministers not used to it, but even officials, large and small, in the capital became "awkward".

Dali Temple.

In the backyard, Wu Chunfu sent a person away, and there were three opened letters on the table.

His face was as deep as water, his eyes were flickering, and he was even trembling all over.

The three letters on the table were written by him to Wei Zhongxian back then. He remembered that there were a total of six letters. He thought that these letters had been destroyed long ago, but he did not expect that they fell into the hands of others!

Now, someone is threatening him with a letter, asking him to retry the case of Yang Lian and others, and Yang Lian must be released without charge!

Wu Chunfu knew very well the reason why Yang Lian and others were sentenced. It was the emperor's will. Without the emperor's will, let alone release him, he would not even be able to do a retrial!At the same time, he also understood the power of these letters. In the case of Wei Zhongxian's treason, except for the few people who had reported and surrendered, the rest of the eunuchs were almost decisive!If he is implicated to become an eunuch, with his status, it must be the end of ransacking his family and exterminating his family!

There are wolves in front and tigers in back, which is driving Wu Chunfu to a dead end!

He sat down slowly, poured himself a glass of water with trembling hands, took a sip with difficulty, cold sweat dripped down his head, his face was pale, and his eyes were terrified.

A middle-aged man in his thirties came in, looked at Wu Chunfu's face, his heart skipped a beat, and said, "My lord, what happened?"

There are now eighteen judges in Dali Temple, and this is one of them, and he can be regarded as Wu Chunfu's confidant.

At this time, Wu Chunfu also wanted to find someone to discuss.Distraught, he pushed the letter over, said a few words, and finally said, "Tell me, what should I do now?"

The middle-aged man was also a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect Wu Chunfu to have such an experience. He looked solemn and couldn't speak for a while.

This is a dead end, there is no other way, what should I do?What can be done?

"My lord, is there any other reason?" The middle-aged man asked cautiously.

Wu Chunfu glanced at him, and said hesitantly: "At the beginning I was suppressed by Donglin, and I voted for Wei Zhongxian out of anger. The main reason was to deal with the Donglin Party, and nothing else. There should be three letters in their hands. They were all discussing how to plot against Donglin. Lin party."

The middle-aged man nodded and remained silent.

This can already prove that Wu Chunfu is an eunuch, once it is exposed, the family will be ransacked and exterminated!

Wu Chunfu tried his best to calm down, but the executioner was sharpening his knife in front of him. How could he be quiet and involve his family?

After a long while, the middle-aged man suddenly said, "My lord, maybe you have only one way to go!"

Wu Chunfu opened his eyes and said, "What way?"

The middle-aged man's expression changed, and he said: "If you confess to the emperor, you may not survive, but at least your family can be saved."

Wu Chunfu's complexion changed drastically. If he confessed this, he would add the clause of "deceitful to the emperor", and he would definitely die!

Wu Chunfu was sullen and did not speak, his heart was full of fear.

He didn't want to take the two roads before and after, because they were both dead ends!

He wants to survive, he also wants to be an official, he wants to grow old in glory and wealth!

The middle-aged man looked at him and said solemnly: "Sir, this is your only way. If you don't take it, or walk slowly, it will be a dead end!"

Wu Chunfu glanced at him, frowned, and remained silent.

This incident came too suddenly, he had to think calmly, he had to find a way to survive, to preserve his prosperity and wealth, there must be one!

Looking at Wu Chunfu's expression, the middle-aged man knew that his persuasion had no effect, so he thought twice and left.This matter needs to be decided by Wu Chunfu himself.

At the same time, there was a strange wind in the capital.

In a teahouse, a group of people gathered together in a corner, lowered their voices, and talked cautiously.

"Have you heard? It wasn't just Yang Dahong and others who bribed the inner court back then, Fu Changzong also got involved..."

"Then Fu Changzong has also become a righteous man?"

"What kind of righteous man... don't change the subject, Yang Dahong and others were arrested, beheaded and shut down, but Fu Changzong is fine..."

"Are you saying that the emperor is protecting him? It doesn't make sense, Yang Dahong is still the emperor's teacher, so it should be him who the emperor wants to protect, right?"

"I've heard that Fu Changzong may be related to Wei Zhongxian. The evidence was hidden by Wei Zhongxian, so he's fine..."

"Are you saying that Fu Changzong colluded with Wei Zhongxian? Impossible. He is the emperor's own uncle with a high position and authority. Why would he rebel?"

"It's not a rebellion, it's a collusion for profit. Think about it, how big is the Fu family's property, and they are still desperately trying to get money?"

"Then who is Fu Changzong? A righteous man? A traitor? Or just a corrupt official?"

"I don't know, but I guess there are!"

"Then what should we do? I heard not long ago that Zhou Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials is selling officials and nobles, cultivating private individuals, and Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry is corrupt and accepting bribes. You say, what happened to the adults in the court?"

"If you really want to look at it this way, I think Fu Changzong is in trouble, maybe he will be imprisoned!"

"Now, talk less and listen more, so as not to cause trouble to your upper body. Fu Changzong has been Minister of the Household Department for so many years, and he is still the emperor's uncle. Who knows how many trusted followers he has..."

"That's right, be careful with your words..."

The news from all over the capital is messy, rumors are flying all over the sky, true and false are confused, no one can tell, but it spreads faster and more outrageous!
