Chapter 160 Rumors Spread
Chapter 160
Zhang Hao told Jiajing that if the three people in the cabinet did not meet their requirements this time, then he would hammer the three of them to death and let Jiajing elect a cabinet minister again.
"Okay!" Jiajing nodded, knowing that Zhang Hao was angry now. If you didn't agree to him, you still don't know what bad things he would say.
"Today, I went to see Tu Qiao. Tu Qiao told me that almost 50% of my Ming officials are corrupt. If you want to deal with them, you need to establish authority and kill people. Whether it is a cabinet or a local rank of officials, you just want to kill them!" Zhang Hao sat there and said to Jiajing.
"Well, wait a moment, don't worry. The Imperial Guards and other Dukes have not been trained yet. You are just anxious. However, I can understand, understand.
In fact, I am more anxious than you, but I have no choice but to make a lot of trouble, so I can only take it slowly. In the death of Tu Qiao, I have given up completely with the cabinet and let them sit there. I will see how long their heads can be placed on their necks!" Jiajing sat down, and Yang Jinshui came to make tea for them.
"Emperor, I don't care anyway, I have the responsibility for Tu Qiao's death. I want to mobilize Tu Xu to Shuntian Prefecture to serve as the magistrate. It is impossible to say that his father just died and he has no fame, so he will let others come to their hometown, so that we will be sorry to them!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing.
"Okay, I'll let the Ministry of Personnel pass tomorrow. Hey, have you met Tu Qiao for the last time?" Jiajing sat there and looked at Zhang Hao and asked.
"I met for the last time, and then Tu Qiao asked me to go out. Before I could walk out of the gate of his mansion, people left!" Zhang Hao nodded and said.
"Maybe I have a premonition. Those who die don't want outsiders to send it, but I hope my son will give it to you. Hey! Tu Qiao, Tu Qiao, I'm hurting you, I'm still anxious, still anxious,
Zhang Hao, you have to remember that we cannot be in a hurry now, we cannot let good officials disappear like this, and even ten corrupt officials cannot compare to one good official, and that Qin Liangyi is good. You have to stare at him and tell him, don’t do anything randomly. The Ming Dynasty has few really honest ministers." Jiajing sat there and explained to Zhang Hao.
"I understand." Zhang Hao nodded, then said, "Anyway, you wait. If you can't satisfy me, you can't see if I'll beat them to death!"
"Well, Xu Jie is your father-in-law!" Jiajing said with a smile at Zhang Hao.
"What's wrong with my father-in-law? He is a corrupt official. I can't deal with him yet. But Xu Shiyun loves to marry or not, so what if I don't get married? The Ming Dynasty has already done this, and I still have to spare them." Zhang Hao said angrily at this moment.
"Well, I'm still anxious. Just as your marriage was settled, those dukes wrote to me, saying that I had already arranged your marriage too early and should have told them. I didn't think of this level at the beginning. OK, you can do it yourself. The cabinet, it disappointed me so much!" Jiajing sat there, nodded and said,
I regret betrothing Xu Shiyun to Zhang Hao because Xu Shiyun is not worthy at all. It is because his father Xu Jie. Although Xu Jie is not bad, he has some money. If he doesn't take the money, he will not be able to become the Minister of Rites and will not be able to enter the cabinet. Of course, he has the ability.
At this moment, in Lu Ben's mansion, Lu Ben, Xu Jie, Yan Song, and three people sat in Lu Ben's study. They sat here a few days ago and discussed dealing with Tu Qiao, but they did not expect that the matter would evolve so badly. They did not want to kill Tu Qiao, but they just wanted Tu Qiao to be injured and wanted to do so. Don't continue to investigate the case, but they did not expect that Tu Qiao would be gone after the fall.
Zhang Hao was actually angry about Tu Qiao. The three of them didn't know how Tu Qiao had a relationship with Zhang Hao. If they knew, they would not have taken such a method, but instead changed the method and just let Tu Qiao get injured.
"Select someone? Don't force Zhang Hao to kill us!" Yan Song sat there and spoke.
"He, Zhang Hao, is so lawless, can't we impeach him to the emperor?" Lu Ben asked Yan Song, still unwilling to give in, but he also knew that he was asking knowingly.
"Before, I wanted to deal with Zhang Hao, you thought I was trying to excuse Qiu Luan, Ding Rukui. There is such a person around the emperor, which is a threat to us.
Moreover, Zhang Hao is the marquis now. If the marquis is assassinated, let alone whether Zhang Rong can pass the level, even other nobles cannot pass. If Zhang Rong doesn't kill us, other nobles will lead the army into Beijing and kill us. So, forget it, don't mention the assassination of Zhang Hao.
Now I am thinking about how to establish a good relationship with Zhang Hao and tell him not to investigate officials like this. If this investigation is done, no one will survive!" Yan Song sat there, holding a teacup and said.
"It doesn't make sense. I'm not afraid of the two jokes. I personally went to persuade me. I almost got beaten up by Zhang Hao. Such a shameful thing, if it weren't for the three of us here, I wouldn't have said it!" Xu Jie also sighed.
"Select someone, Master Lu, there is nothing we can do about it, otherwise the heads of the three of us will definitely explode!" Yan Song said to Lu Ben.
"Didn't I give two days?" Lu Ben said unwillingly.
"In two days, the funeral of the Tuqiao will be held the morning after tomorrow. Those heads are here to worship Tuqiao. In other words, we have to make a choice tonight, and we can't be too far away. We have to ride a horse in the capital for half a day, and we have to be sure that it is a corrupt official, and we have been corrupt, and we have been sure that other civil officials will not have any objections. This is enough!" Yan Song looked at Lu Ben and reminded, saying that he had given two days, but in fact it was only one day.
"This Man Zhang!" Lu Ben said angrily, gritting his teeth and saying, "There is no way not to be angry."
"The people who each lose will be recommended by each other. If the people arranged by the emperor are supplemented, we will have no choice. Anyway, we can only choose this now!" Yan Song sat there and continued to urge them and said, he was afraid of Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao really dared to kill him.
"Okay, choose, one person will give out three first, and then ask for another person to come out. Then you can randomly draw it, it depends on who will be in trouble!" Xu Jie also looked at them and said, Lu Ben and Yan Song had no choice but to nod,
Soon, the ten people were selected. They would arrange for the censor to impeach the censor early tomorrow morning, and then let the Ministry of Justice arrest people.
After getting these things done, Xu Jie also returned to his mansion. As soon as he arrived at the mansion, he saw Xu Fan and Xu Shiyun still sitting here in the living room, and Liang also sat there.
"What's wrong?" Xu Jie came in and asked.
"Master, are you okay?" Liang stood up and looked at Xu Jie and asked, while Xu Fan and Xu Shiyun also stood up. "It's okay, what can you do?" Xu Jie said with a smile.
"Master, we have heard that Zhang Hao smashed the desks of the three ministers in your cabinet, and almost killed you. Zhang Hao is crazy, you are his prospective father-in-law!" Liang said anxiously.
"Hey!" Xu Jie sighed helplessly when he heard this.
"Dad, the people outside say that you three killed Tuqiao!" Xu Shiyun looked at Xu Jie and said.
"What did you say?" Xu Jie looked at Xu Shiyun in surprise. How did he know about this matter and how did he know about it outside?
"Dad, it's all like this that Tu Qiao died unjustly. A good minister, a Zuodu Censor, and a good man. Unexpectedly, he died inexplicably!" Xu Fan stood there and spoke.
"It was said that the three of us killed?" Xu Jie stared at Xu Fan and said. It was probably because Xu Fan told her.
"Yes, the people have always said this, and the Jinyiwei doesn't care!" Xu Fan nodded and said. Xu Jie sat down! "Dad, Tu Qiao is a good official? Zhang Hao has a good friend?" Xu Shiyun asked.
"He is a good official. I didn't know that he had a good relationship with Tu Qiao before. We only knew about it today. Unfortunately, a good official will not live long!" Xu Jie also said with emotion. There is no way to kill Tu Qiao Qiao.
According to Tu Qiao's impeachment, many ministers would not survive, and in the end they would find out the heads of the three of them. Therefore, Xu Jie also agreed to this matter and agreed to Lu Ben and Yan Song to take action. Just now, Tu Qiao died in a few days.
"Dad, you didn't do this?" Xu Shiyun continued to ask, remembering what Zhang Hao said before.
"Of course not!" Xu Jie immediately stared at Xu Shiyun and said.
"You damn girl, do you believe what you said outside?" Liang also cursed Xu Shiyun.
"Dad, if it's not for you, then we have to investigate. Since Tu Qiao is a good official, he can't die so ignorantly. Otherwise, the people will continue to pass on, and then it will damage your reputation!" Xu Shiyun looked at Xu Jie and said.
"I know, okay, I'm tired, I'll take a break early. What does the matter in the court have to do with you?" Xu Jie stood up at this moment and said to Xu Shiyun and the others.
On Lu Bing's side, Lu Bing has been collecting news, and he also knows that the fourth and third-rank officials have already held a meeting. Now they are worried that the cabinet will ask them to die, so they released such news.
In addition, those officials who are not corrupt are now rumored, hoping to bring down their three mountains and let those honest officials go up. However, most of the honest officials have very low rank. Normally, they cannot shake the three cabinet masters, so they only hope to use the rumors to make their three names damaged. I hope that Jiajing can obey public opinion by then!
