Chapter 1236 Zhu Xu wants to protect people

After King Jing's words fell, Wang Qiaonian continued: "I think so too. This matter must be suppressed. Now the court and the country are in full swing and need to cool down."

As the few people said, their eyes all looked at Bi Ziyan. The letter was from the Ganqing Palace, and Bi Ziyan was the first to see it.

Bi Ziyan knew the subtle atmosphere of the cabinet now. After a moment of silence, he said, "I'm afraid it's impossible. It's easy to talk about the capital. Shaanxi must have spread a lot. Gong Dingzi was still holding his troops there. I guess he found something. Wen Tiren's confession was forced."

Everyone here knows the situation in Shaanxi. Since the 20th year of Wanli, civil chaos has not stopped in the past few decades. It was even more massive in the early Chongzhen period. The court mobilized more than 200,000 troops, including the imperial guards, to be temporarily suppressed.

Li Banghua implemented the "farm policy" in Shaanxi. Although the purpose was to fight against the increasingly serious natural disasters, he had the intention to curb the chaos in the people.

Shaanxi is a complex place. If the "farm strategy" is implemented, it is under a series of powerful powers, and all kinds of means are basically illegal.

These were carried out with the support of the court or with the acquiescence of the past few years, and all kinds of rebounds in Shaanxi have been suppressed.

Now someone takes advantage of the time when the imperial court changes blood, and the entire imperial court is in an embarrassing situation.

Everyone listened to Bi Ziyan's words and did not speak immediately.

This matter cannot be revealed, at least it cannot be fully revealed. Otherwise, it will continue to involve a wide range of things and will be difficult to suppress the good. It will also affect Shaanxi's "farmland policy" and then affect the country's "new policy".

Therefore, Wen Tiren cannot deal with it, or he can't solve this problem by dealing with it alone.

I can't suppress it, what should I do?

Everyone's minds were constantly changing. No matter how subtle the atmosphere in the cabinet was, government affairs could not be affected, and a group of people's minds were like lightning.

After a while, Fu Changzong said, "First, the cabinet wants to refute the rumors, and Master Bi Ge has no intention of resigning. Second, I cannot blame the matter in Shaanxi. I will go to the parliament to publicly review, remove the title of Grand Secretary, and temporarily keep the cabinet. Third, all the Shaanxi Governor's Offices resigned voluntarily and the cabinet approved it."

Everyone moved with different expressions, and their eyes were surprised.

None of them expected that Fu Changzong would make such a sacrifice. At their level, they would cherish their feathers very much. If there were such a "stain", they would basically bid farewell to their career.

Even if Fu Changzong could still stay in the cabinet, his previous plan to take over Sun Chuanting was completely failed.

Sun Chuanting regarded Fu Changzong as his greatest helper and right-hand man. He did not want to abandon it so much, so he directly snatched the words: "No! The cabinet is now the focus. If you take the initiative to take over the upper hand, it is tantamount to cooking oil in a fire, and it is even more difficult to be good. You need to be more secure."

King Jing, Fu Changzong and Wang Qiaonian were both imperial parties. They spoke almost at the same time, saying, "I object!"

King Jing glanced at Wang Qiaonian and said, "If Master Fu came forward, it would probably cause greater trouble. It's okay in Shaanxi. If it involves the Ministry of Revenue, things will be even more troublesome."

The Ministry of Revenue has been in charge of Zhu Xu's treasury for ten years. Even the current Shangshu Zhang Bingwen may not know how many secrets are there. If someone is targeted, it may involve some of Zhu Xu's early years.

King Jing knew about these things and was quite alert.

Wang Qiaonian is a newcomer and doesn't know much about Zhu Xu's early years, but he doesn't want to involve Zhu Xu anymore. He said calmly: "Old Master Bi Ge should not come forward, it's better to take on this matter with the Governor Yuan and Dali Temple."

The Supervisory Yuan is responsible for supervising government affairs and Dali Temple accepts cases. Over the years, I have pressed countless things openly or secretly. It is appropriate for Wang Qiaonian and Prince Jing to take on this matter.

Bi Ziyan glanced at King Jing, Wang Qiaonian, and Fu Changzong, looked at Sun Chuanting again, turned to look at Sun Chengzong, and said, "Georgia, what do you think?"

Sun Chengzong is now very insightful about the cabinet, and he can't help but sigh in his heart.

This incident was caused by Bi Ziyan's resignation, but it was not the deliberate plan of the Ganqing Palace.

Bi Ziyan is over 60 years old and he is over 70 years old, which is indeed the age to retire. They have been in the court for many years, and it seems that the court cannot do without them, but in fact they have become some obstacles. Whether it is personnel or the "new policy", they urgently need "innovation".

Sun Chuanting could guess Bi Ziyan's idea, but he was worried that the government would lose control after he left, and that the "new policy" would collapse after the government was barely maintained.

After pretending to be pondered for a while, Sun Chengzong said, "Soons or later, things will burst out, so come out sooner or later."

Bi Ziyan frowned when he heard this. What he seemed to be talking about in Shaanxi actually implied him that he would retire sooner or better.

Bi Ziyan didn't think so, and nodded quietly and said in a concluding tone: "Wen Tiren has no contributions and has worked hard in Shaanxi. Now he has written a confession again. Our cabinet cannot disappoint the hearts of scholars all over the world. Let's do this. The cabinet issued a document to ask him to go to Beijing to tell the details. Shaanxi Prime Minister Yu Dacheng was dismissed from office. Shaanxi Governor's Office and others were waiting for trial. Master Fu personally took people to Shaanxi to investigate the matter clearly and made public the world."

Everyone frowned first, then nodded slightly.

Although it seems a bit reluctant to use Yu Dacheng, the Prime Minister of the six provinces of Shaanxi and Sichuan to suppress the thunder, Fu Changzong personally went to appease him, so he should be able to explain it.

But, can this really end like this?

Everyone's eyes were filled with color and they were worried.

The instability of the court comes from Bi Ziyan's retirement. As long as Bi Ziyan is for one day, the hearts of all officials will be unstable, and the atmosphere in the cabinet will become more and more strange, and some battles may gradually surface and will no longer be so concealed.

These are not something that can be controlled by anyone who is selfless, and Bi Ziyan and Sun Chuanting cannot decide.

The most difficult thing to predict is the human heart!

Seeing that everyone was not talking, Bi Ziyan stood up and said, "Then I'll go see the emperor, Bai Gu, you write a letter."

"Okay." Sun Chuanting said.

The others stood up and were busy.

As in the past.

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong walked out of the cabinet conference room side by side, climbed the stairs, and walked to the third floor.

The corridor was particularly quiet today. Neither Bi Ziyan nor Sun Chengzong had a limit to speak, and he walked slowly step by step.

I don’t know how long I have been away, but Bi Ziyan said, “Do you think the court will be so stable if we leave?”

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, it sounded in the corridor, with a faint echo.

It seems like Bi Ziyan's mood.

Sun Chengzong admired this colleague who was devoted to the country and had gray hair, and smiled and said, "Why is the same? Why can't it be better? We have done so many unprecedented things, how can we always be like this?"

Bi Ziyan glanced at him, couldn't help but sigh, and said, "Sun Baigu lacks prestige and obeys the emperor's words. Once you and I go, the cabinet is full of imperial party. No one advises and supports him. I am really worried."

Facing such an emperor today, which minister can be relieved?

Sun Chengzong looked up at the third floor, stopped, looked at Bi Ziyan, pondered, and said, "You and I have followed the emperor for at least ten years. You have been ten years, and you have no trust in the emperor? No matter how many people want to destroy my Ming Dynasty, the emperor will not. No matter how many people want to collapse the situation and take advantage of the troubled waters, the first person who refuses to agree must be the emperor. Jinghui, you are old."

Jinghui, Bi Ziyan's word.

The government and national affairs that have been working hard for more than ten years have put in the effort to create the court and national affairs, no matter how hard it is to comfort Sun Chengzong in one word.

"You're right."

Bi Ziyan looked at the class room of Cao Huachun and others not far from the third floor, nodded and shook his head, and said, "Zhisheng, I heard that you are uncomfortable recently. Do you want to rest for a while?"

Zhisheng, Sun Chengzong's name. Sun Chengzong is already seventy-seven years old this year, and he is still stronger and energetic. He felt cold a few days ago and coughed for a few days.

Sun Chengzong looked at Bi Ziyan with a slightly condensed expression and said, "What are you going to do?"

Bi Ziyan suddenly smiled and said, "Take good care and take good care of our health. At this age, we will make a profit of living for one more day."

As he said that, he stepped up to the third floor.

Sun Chengzong looked at Bi Ziyan's back and felt a little uneasy. Is Bi Ziyan going to do something before leaving? Is he afraid that he will get in the way?

Bi Ziyan waited in front of Zhu Xu's house and entered the door with Sun Chengzong.

As usual, Zhu Xu called him to the small living room, and while cooking tea, he smiled: "Is there any way for the cabinet to deal with Wen Tiren's confession?"

Bi Ziyan sat opposite Zhu Xu and said, "Yes, I plan to blame Yu Dacheng and let Wen Tiren enter Beijing first, and then Fu Ge Lao went to Shaanxi to appease him. He should be able to explain it."

Zhu Xu's hands cooking tea were served, and then he picked it up as usual and poured tea for Bi Ziyan.

He was the emperor for ten years, condescending, and had a clear understanding of the power struggle in the officialdom.

Bi Ziyan's method is obviously blocked, not loose. It seems to be Bi Ziyan's usual style, but at this time, it seems to be eye-catching.

Bi Ziyan was unaware of anything. Sun Chengzong kept staring at Zhu Xu. Seeing his hand paused, his brows moved and his heart became even more uneasy.

Bi Ziyan had to make some arrangements before leaving. Are these arrangements the emperor liked? Who was in front of him? Obviously, he had noticed something from Bi Ziyan's words.

Sun Chengzong wanted to reconcile, but before he could speak, Zhu Xu's tea cup had already reached his lips. He suddenly looked up at Bi Ziyan and said with a smile: "Master Bi worked hard and made great contributions, and worked hard for the country for half a lifetime. The reputation of a prince and tutor is not enough to be demonstrated. I plan to make an exception and be named a marquis to Master Bi."

Sun Chengzong had a hint of solemnity on his thin face, and he turned to Bi Ziyan.

The emperor in front of him not only noticed it, but also said that he would grant titles to stop Bi Ziyan from doing so that the king and his subjects could have a good result.

Bi Ziyan was very surprised by Zhu Xu's sudden title and could not guess Zhu Xu's meaning.

Is it a hint that I will retire as soon as possible, or to appease the hearts of the ruthless people?

Bi Ziyan couldn't figure it out, and according to his habit, he said: "I am planning state affairs, not for fame and fortune, and I dare not accept such grace from the emperor. Please think twice."

When Zhu Xu saw that Bi Ziyan could not hear the meaning of his words, he looked at the old man with white hair and an old face and nodded thoughtfully.
