The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Wangfu,

Wang Shouren knelt in front of the hall. Wang Hua raised the stick and slapped him hard on the back: "Do you know how angry His Majesty is now!"

Emperor Hongzhi did not go to court for three days, and everyone in the court knew about it.

Wang Tianxu was holding a cane on the side and advised: "It's a good thing for your Majesty to relax sometimes."

"Dad, you don't know how big a trap this traitor has created in the palace!"

Wang Shouren said nothing.

Thoroughly investigating the whereabouts of this military pay and uncovering those who embezzled it was a major event that benefited the country and the people, and he had no regrets.

It's just that His Majesty's temperament changed drastically, which made him unbelievable.

Without His Majesty's will, how can the reorganization of the Beijing camp continue? It is a pity that after all the hard work, this layer of paper has been pierced, and only the last step is left.

Wang Hua was so worried that he did not dare to enter the palace or go anywhere at this moment.

After hearing about the incident at Fengtian Palace, he summoned Wang Shouren back to avoid causing any more trouble.

I just want it to be over as soon as possible.

"No!" Wang Hua was annoyed.

Wang Shouren thought for a while and advised: "Brother Gao is very smart. If dad doesn't go and send him away personally, I'm afraid he won't give up."

Wang Hua hesitated for a moment, dropped the bamboo stick, and strode outside the door of the mansion.

Yan Chengjin was seen standing in front of the door.

"Hello, Mr. Wang, I'm going to see Brother Bo'an."

"Don't you know you've made a big mistake? Wang Shouren isn't here. You can go back. It's better not to walk around randomly these days." Wang Hua said.

"Master Wang also knows the situation in the court. The person who untie the bell must also tie the bell, and it must be Brother Bo'an."

Yan Chengjin knew that although Wang Hua followed Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism and was unwilling to accept Xinxue, during the Zhengde Dynasty, Liu Jin threatened Wang Hua with Wang Shouren's life, but Wang Hua did not blink an eyelid, which shows that he is an upright person.

Sure enough, Wang Hua sighed and turned back to the mansion.

After a while, Wang Shouren came out, and he was very happy: "Brother Gao came at the right time, so I can save you from the pain of flesh and blood."

"Your Majesty has given five days to thoroughly investigate the people behind the capital camp. This matter must be done by you."

Wang Shouren was shocked: "Your Majesty, isn't he arrogant and licentious in the palace?"

"Your Majesty is pretending."

Seeing Wang Shouren's "fuck" expression, Yan Chengjin knew that he was shocked.

Yan Chengjin also marveled at Emperor Hongzhi's acting skills.

After admonishing that night, Emperor Hongzhi cried bitterly for a long time. What followed was hysterical anger and ordered the Jin Yiwei to let Yan Chengjin enter the palace in the middle of the night.

Yan Chengjin refused and sent a letter to the Jinyi Guards outside the mansion.

There were too many officials involved in the thorough investigation of the Beijing camp. From the Chenghua year to the Hongzhi year, the historical data did not list the names of how many people were living on empty wages.

It is easy to catch the thousands and hundreds of households in the Beijing camp who are in vain, but it is difficult to catch the ministers of the DPRK.

Your Majesty has ordered the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to thoroughly investigate this matter. If the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are also involved and collude, it will be a great resistance.

Be cautious.

Yan Chengjin did not expect that in order to paralyze the minister, Emperor Hongzhi would come to play hard to get. Mou Bin told him that His Majesty was just pretending.

After Wang Shouren was promoted to chief clerk of the Ministry of Punishment, he investigated many cases.

With his intelligence and Wang Yue's assistance, he will be able to find out the big bug that has eaten the empty sound, and hand over the list to His Majesty, and the next step will be easy.

…………

Four days passed.

Qianqing Palace,

The ministers had their own concerns, and His Majesty's temperament suddenly changed drastically. The three cabinet ministers took the lead in admonishing, and the ministers had no choice but to accompany him.

Chen Ying, from the Ministry of Household Affairs, looked relaxed and looked at the Palace of Qianqing. It was a good thing that Your Majesty was like this.

Seeing Emperor Hongzhi acting like this, some ministers were nervous on their faces, but felt extremely relaxed in their hearts.

Empress Zhang was so anxious that she did not see Yan Chengjin enter the palace for two days, so she ordered Wei Taidao.

"Order Yan Qing's family to come see me!"

Yan Chengjin came to Qianqing Palace and wanted to give an explanation to Queen Zhang and the ministers no matter what today.

Wang Shouren hasn't heard any news yet.

The ministers looked over to see what Yan Chengjin said.

Facing Queen Zhang, Yan Chengjin bowed slightly and said, "I would like to ask your Majesty and all the ministers to give me three more days."

Empress Zhang frowned slightly, and Li Dongyang sighed, no longer placing hope on him. Not even they could do anything, and Yan Chengjin probably couldn't do anything either.

In the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Hongzhi was still wearing a gauze robe, his face was radiant, he was not tired at all, and his complexion was much better than before.

It just looks a bit naughty.

Queen Zhang burst into tears.

At this moment, Wang Shouren quickly came to Qianqing Palace and knelt down in front of the main hall. Everyone's eyes fell on him.

Just listen to Wang Shouren shouting: "Your Majesty! The person who ate the Kongxiang in the Beijing camp has been found out. Your Majesty, please take a look."

As he said this, he held up a memorial with both hands.

Emperor Hongzhi raised his hand slightly, the drums and piano music stopped, and Xiao Jing quickly presented the memorial to Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi's face became extremely serious and he opened the memorial: "The Ministry of Husbandry is for Chen Ying, the doctor of the Ministry of Households is Wei Jing, the Ministry of Punishment is for Tang Huaian, the director of the Ministry of Rites is Yue Su, and the doctor of the Ministry of Industry is Jiqing..."

Sixteen people were recited in one breath.

As the sound came out, figures one after another knelt down outside the hall and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

"I have been wronged!"

Li Dongyang and others looked at each other.

Only now did they realize that His Majesty was not crazy at all.

Emperor Hongzhi was puzzled: "Wang Qing's family, if it is said that the Ministry of Households is in trouble, I can understand it, but why are the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry and even the Ministry of Punishment involved? Is it unfair?"

Wang Shouren said: "All the above gentlemen worked in the Ministry of Revenue before being transferred. I may have missed something, but I am not wronged. This is the reason why the Beijing Camp asked the Ministry of Revenue for silver, as well as the comments of all the gentlemen and the confessions of the thousand households in the Beijing Camp."

Wang Shouren presented a stack of account books and confessions.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

Emperor Hongzhi stood up, flipped through these accounts and confessions, and threw them in front of Chen Ying and others. Everyone was speechless. No one expected your Majesty to do this.

Dai Shan knelt on the ground hurriedly: "Your Majesty, there is only no one from the Censorate in this list. Why not hand it over to the Censorate for trial? What do you think?"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Approved."

Dai Shan hesitated: "If it is true, how will your Majesty deal with so many officials?"

"All of them will be sent to the border of Ningxia as soldiers!"

Chen Ying and others were so scared that they broke out in cold sweat and almost peed.

Zhou Jing, the Minister of Revenue, knelt on the ground with a thud: "I... am guilty of not investigating, and I request to retire!"

As the Minister of Revenue, he was unaware of the loss of so much waste. Although Zhou Jing's name was not mentioned just now, Yan Chengjin didn't know whether Zhou Jing really didn't know or pretended not to know. In any case, he should retire.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded in agreement.

Sixteen crying officials were dragged down, along with the thousand households and hundred households of the Beijing camp. They colluded with the ministers in the court, pocketed the military pay, and occupied the military land for private land, becoming landlords, and should be killed according to their crimes.

Dai Shan personally picked up the evidence and stood up to leave.

The case of the empty ring in the Beijing camp ended here.

Just when Empress Zhang and Li Dongyang thought that Emperor Hongzhi had returned to his former state, he looked ashen: "I am tired, let's all leave."

The palace maids and eunuchs filed out.
