With a "bang", the eunuch standing outside the door suddenly tightened his heart, and the emperor threw something again!

"Who is it! Who is so brave!"

Zhu Yijun, who fell a teacup in anger, stared at Zhang Juzheng and asked loudly.

"Don't they know that he is the imperial envoy, my... Is it sent by me? If they dare to assassinate in the street, aren't they afraid of killing the nine clans?"

After learning that Shi Yiwen was attacked on the street, Zhu Yijun was extremely angry. Although he had thought that Shi Yiwen's trip to Nanzhili was not that easy, he never thought that no matter what, someone dared to assassinate the imperial envoy in broad daylight.

"In broad daylight, someone dares to assassinate the imperial envoy. Is this the bright world of the Ming Dynasty? Is it what you call a peaceful and prosperous era?"

The reason why Zhu Yijun was so angry was not only because he was worried about Shi Yiwen's safety or because he felt guilty towards him, but because it was equivalent to slapping him in the face. After all, the imperial envoy was sent by the emperor, and it was his compromise for a little money that Shi Yiwen went there, but now he was attacked in the street.

All kinds of emotions are intertwined, and naturally they are furious and furious. Even when facing Zhang Juzheng, they don’t have many concerns as they used to.

"Your Majesty, this is indeed something I have never had since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. I will definitely send someone to investigate this matter carefully and will definitely give your Majesty an explanation to the world."

Zhang Juzheng was a little confused. Why was the emperor so angry? I'm afraid it was not just because the imperial envoy was attacked. No matter how much he said he was just a green vegetable minister, logic is that even if the emperor was angry, he would not be so indifferent in front of him.

Could it be that there is any unknown relationship between the emperor and Shi Yiwen? For Zhang Juzheng, who has always tried every means to prevent a favored minister from appearing around the emperor, the first thing he thought of was that these two people were of the same age. Will this make it easier for them to have more than just a relationship between the king and the minister?

If Shi Yiwen is the emperor's confidant, this is nothing, for example, but if he is the emperor's favorite minister, then... he frowned slightly, and just when Zhang Juzheng was secretly alert. Zhu Yijun found out the strangeness in his crowd and immediately realized that he had lost his composure, so he quickly remedyed.

"Mr. Zhang's case is not about you asking me to give me an explanation, but to the people of the world. After all, I sent the imperial envoy to the place, and this Qingcai minister was also charged tariffs for the palace. Now he was attacked in broad daylight. What would the people in the world think when the news spread? Do they think it was because I sent him to plunder the people's money, which aroused public grievances. What would the people in the world think of me and the emperor?"

When the emperor said this, Zhang Juzheng felt a cold sweat appearing on his back. He immediately thought that this matter was indeed related to the emperor's childbirth, and it was not just a simple attack on the imperial envoy, so he quickly answered.

"Please rest assured that you have ordered someone to deal with this matter. You will definitely find out the truth about this matter. Give your Majesty an explanation to the world!"

That morning, a passenger ship from the dock of Qinhuai River was moored from somewhere. After the boat was parked, the boatman said to the master and servant sitting in the cabin.

"Master, the ship has arrived in Nanjing City. Are you two sure you will get off from here?"

The master in the cabin was dressed up and nodded, then walked out of the cabin, stepped over the springboard and went ashore, and the servant followed closely behind. The master walking in front was about 60 years old. When he walked out of the cabin, his steps were slow and steady, and he climbed up the stone steps of the dock. This person was Lu Diaoyang who Zhang Juzheng had been talking about one night two days ago. He received the imperial edict in Wuhu.

The imperial envoy was attacked!

The emperor was furious!

The court has no face!

Then, as a re-summoned old minister, Lu Diaoyang received the emperor's imperial edict as soon as he arrived in Wuhu. He immediately changed his itinerary and rushed to Nanjing.

The servant following behind was named Lu Wu. If Shi Yiwen had arrived here, he would not have felt unfamiliar. After all, the two of them had met one another. For many years, he was both a servant of Lu Diaoyang and his guard, and he had never changed for so many years.

"master."

Lu Wu shouted softly.

"Where should we go first? Is it the Sixth Ministry of Affairs Office, or?"

"Go to see Shi Zhiyuan first!"

Lu Diaoyang said casually.

"In theory, I, the imperial envoy, should notify them to pick up the boat, but why did I change the boat from Wuhu? After all, it's because the water in the pool is too deep! On the other side of the Six Ministry's Office, we don't have to worry. Let's see the master first. Wu Zi, you said, when we first met him in Qingheyi, you still felt that they had taken advantage of us? Speaking of which, we gave up a room, but he saved my life."

"yes!"

Lu Wu said hurriedly.

"Master, it's all small knowledge, but Mr. Shi is surprised. Although he has the medical skills of a great country, he did not make a name for himself when he arrived in the capital. Instead, he became the general tax department of the cashier. Seeing that the ship was levied on goods, he didn't know how many people's financial resources were cut off. Cutting off people's financial resources was like killing his parents! He was attacked in Nanjing, which is probably related to the cashier."

Lu Diaoyang did not make a sound, but just nodded gently, and finally sighed.

"So, this matter is so deep!"

It’s not just the depth of water, it’s simply unfathomable!

Since retiring last year, Lu Diaoyang has been thinking about the gains and losses over the years. Of course, at that time, he never thought that he would come back one day. It was because of this that he calmed down and could think about some things calmly.

Just as he was thinking about the current situation in the country, the sudden decree over there broke his seemingly peaceful life - the emperor summoned him to the palace!

Entering the cabinet again is a rare favor in the world.

All the ministers can do is thank the emperor for his grace. Of course, due to his physical recovery, he also hoped to serve the country again. So after receiving the imperial edict, he rushed to the capital day and night. Along the way, he even made up his mind to live up to the emperor's trust and the people of the world, and to do a good job.

But I never thought that an imperial edict from Wuhu Pass disrupted all his plans!

The chief in charge of the investigation into the attack of the imperial envoy!

This matter seems easy to deal with, but in fact, Lu Diaoyang knows better than anyone else that the pond is deep or even unfathomable. Who intends to assassinate Shi Yiwen and why? Although these are still questions, what is certain is that it must be unrelated to Chaoguan.

"Chaoguan..."

Sitting in the car, Lu Tiyang muttered the word "Master" in his heart, and then sighed again. In the past, the Chaoguan was nothing more than 200,000 taels of silver for the Ming Dynasty, but now... the annual income of the Chaoguan is almost no less than the annual taxes of the imperial court. How can this not make people jealous and how can it not make people heartbroken?

"It seems that the prime minister hit their seven inches this time!"

But the retribution fell on Shi Yiwen.

Why……

After a long sigh, the car had approached the city wall. When he looked up at the Nanjing City Wall, which was known as the world's number one, Lu Tiyang couldn't help but frown again. Although the Nanjing City Wall still made him feel majestic and extraordinary! However, for Lu Tiyang, he was full of thoughts in his heart now. The city wall in front of him was like the situation in Nanzhili, which could not be pierced or poured into the water.

"Zhiyuan just moved seven inches a little, and they actually took this trick. If this continues, it may be that the country will be out of power!"

Lamenting Shi Yi's experience, Lu Diaoyang's face was filled with sorrow, and only one thought was left in his heart - what is the future of the Ming Dynasty!

In the past, Lu Diaoyang only knew that the scholars and officials in the Southern Zhili had the same spirit as the officials and officials to control the government and resisted reform. But now, a small cash gate has aroused their reaction so much. What should I do in the future? If the reform continues to advance, those people can kill the imperial envoy today, what will they do in the future?

The reason for this kind of concern is that Lu Diaoyang knew that half of the Jinshi in the world were due to the reality of Jiangnan, which made officials in Nanzhili easily control the government as long as they were willing, they could form cliques and make private contributions. At that time, the country would be in disarray!

Thinking of this in his heart, Lu Tiaoyang's brows became tighter and tighter, especially when he looked at the prosperous scenery of Nandu, he even thought of the scene of party struggles and national chaos. Thinking of this, he naturally thought about it again, thinking of the passion he was when he passed the Jinshi exam. At that time, he was determined to do a great cause that was famous in history!

But in the end... he was always subject to reality and various reasons. He didn't think anything was there before he retired. However, after his return, although the prosperity of Nandu in front of him was far better than the scene he witnessed when he first arrived in Nanjing decades ago, Lu Diaoyang was not only not happy, but was a little worried, worried that the future party struggles would destroy the country and country of the Ming Dynasty.

Suddenly, Lu Diaoyang felt a little strange about his idea. After all, logic is, this is a peaceful and prosperous era, but in this peaceful and prosperous era, such an idea comes up. This is really...

"It seems that this prosperous era is full of dangers!"

He thought so in his heart, but then he felt that perhaps the reason why he thought so was that Guo Hui was in a very different mood today than before!

Yes, in the past, I only thought about being an official, but now... Lu Diaoyang closed his eyes and recalled the reflections he had at home and in the house after retiring. Now, it is for doing things!

"Then let's do something big for Daming!"
