Lu Wenyang took over the position of governor of the canal transportation. Every year, he only respected the cabinet and gave it to hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. If Lu Wenyang was not greedy, I am afraid that no one would believe it. The officials of the court knew this very well, but the emperor should not know it.

Now Yang Tinghe went to the leopard room, but after he came back, he told them that the emperor wanted the cabinet to strictly investigate Lu Wenyang's corruption. They could not report Lu Wenyang's corruption to the emperor, so there were naturally others.

The Pavilion Master Chen Yang snorted coldly, stroking his beard and snorted coldly, "Who except that General Chu, will anyone tell Your Majesty such a thing?"

When it comes to Chu Yi, it can be said that most of the cabinet masters present had no good feelings, and even wanted to break Chu Yi away.

During the Ming Dynasty, the relationship between eunuchs and civil officials became increasingly intense. To this day, it is normal for them to hate each other.

Lu Wenyang has good methods, at least he is quite good at weaving networks, otherwise he would not have been able to hold the position of governor of the canal transportation for such a long time.

Which of these cabinet masters has never received Lu Wenyang's filial piety. They can often have tens of thousands of taels of silver. It may be a bit absolute to be an official for money for thousands of miles, but at least 80% of the officials are all for these things.

Chu Yi reported the matter of Lu Wenyang to the emperor. It would be fine if he just took Lu Wenyang down. If Chu Yi wanted to take the opportunity to deal with them, what should he do?

Yang Tinghe saw the expressions of the crowd and coughed lightly, "You don't have to worry, but Lu Wenyang took a step to get this disaster."

All the parents looked at Yang Tinghe in confusion.

Only Yang Tinghe could explain: "You guys may not know. This time, Lu Wenyang sent someone to Beijing to offer Chu Yi millions of silver and wealth, trying to hold Chu Yi's thigh, but Chu Yi handed all the wealth to the emperor, and even Lu Wenyang's gift list fell in front of the emperor's case..."

"Madman, he's just a madman..."

"That's a million taels of silver. He is a eunuch with no descendants. If he doesn't learn from Liu Jin's greed for more gold, silver and wealth, would he still want to be a virtuous minister?"

Several cabinet masters couldn't help but curse, especially when they heard Yang Tinghe's words, they gave it to the emperor without hesitation. This simply broke their usual understanding of eunuchs.

Those famous eunuchs, such as Wang Zhen and Liu Jin, were either greedy and could not even take out the money they had in their hands.

But Chu Yi is an alien, with millions of taels of silver. If you say no, you don’t want it. It’s simply rare since ancient times, and it’s unlikely that it will appear in the future.

A cabinet master said with a ugly face: "Lu Wenyang is simply confused. That's a million taels of silver. Now, he didn't hold Chu Yi's thighs. Now he may not even be able to sit in his own seat."

Fei Hong coughed lightly and said, "Everyone, this is the matter. Let's discuss how to give His Majesty an explanation."

Yang Tinghe stroked his beard and looked at Fei Hong with satisfaction. He glanced at several cabinet masters and said, "Your Majesty asked us to investigate Lu Wenyang strictly instead of leaving it to Chu Yi. This proves that Your Majesty still believes in our cabinet. So, let's discuss this matter and you must satisfy Your Majesty."

The old master who was in pain for a million taels of silver in the past immediately said, "Then let's investigate Lu Wenyang strictly. In the past, it would be fine if everyone turned a blind eye. This time, the emperor was staring at him. If we don't take Lu Wenyang down, we're afraid that even His Majesty can't hand in the job."

The other cabinet masters had a little hesitation on their faces. At least they were holding Lu Wenyang's filial piety every year, and they investigated Lu Wenyang in a blink of an eye. Isn't it a bit unauthentic?

Jiang Mian sneered and said, "Don't forget that Your Majesty will hand over the investigation and handling of Lu Wenyang to our cabinet. It is not a test for Your Majesty to us. Which one of the East Factory, the Jinyiwei or the West Factory cannot handle Lu Wenyang. Why did Your Majesty hand it over to the cabinet?"

After hearing what Jiang Mian said, several old men were shocked. If they were to die, they would not have to offend the emperor for the sake of Lu Wenyang, especially if it had nothing to do with their own interests.

Soon several cabinet masters unified their opinions and decided to send someone to investigate Lu Wenyang strictly.

Yang Tinghe nodded slowly and said, "Sir, I wonder who would go to investigate Lu Wenyang as an imperial envoy?"

As soon as Yang Tinghe spoke, several cabinet masters suddenly changed their expressions. What did they actually ask them to investigate Lu Wenyang? Isn't that asking them to die?

Lu Wenyang was definitely like a local emperor on the Grand Canal. He ran to his territory to investigate and deal with him. Could it be that he really forgot that more than a dozen officials were sunk in the ship?

They dare to guarantee that if anyone of them dares to investigate Lu Wenyang as an imperial envoy, with Lu Wenyang's temperament, there will be no suspense about their death.

The elders who had discussed how to take Lu Wenyang to look at each other. One elder coughed and stroked his gray beard and said, "I am old and my body is not as strong as before, but I can't stand any troubles, so I'll leave this matter to several adults."

Another old man shook his head and said, "My mother's birthday is about to begin. I cannot ignore her mother's birthday at this time no matter what!"

Even Jiang Mian and Fei Hong both made excuses. Anyway, none of the cabinet masters present was willing to investigate Lu Wenyang.

Even if they knew that investigating Lu Wenyang was a fat man, they might get a lot of money by just making a move. The key is that Lu Wenyang is famous for being a villain, and they are all precious, how could they go to fight Lu Wenyang head-on?

Yang Tinghe looked calm and did not look surprised at all, as if he had known the choices of several cabinet masters.

Only Yang Tinghe could hear: "Since all the parents are in need of important matters and are inconvenient to go to investigate Lu Wenyang in person, then I will go there in person."

"What!"

Several cabinet masters suddenly heard Yang Tinghe's words and couldn't help but look up in amazement, looking at Yang Tinghe with astonishment.

Jiang Mian couldn't help but say to Yang Tinghe: "Sir, the Prime Minister, the court cannot live without you for a day. How could you take a risk to go there? No one can leave, but you can't."

Yang Tinghe said solemnly: "The emperor attaches great importance to this case. His Majesty the Cabinet wants to express his attitude. Since I am the chief minister of the cabinet, it is reasonable to supervise this matter personally. As for the few days that I leave the capital, it will not affect major events in the court."

Judging from Yang Tinghe's attitude, it seemed that he was not joking, but was really going to investigate Lu Wenyang in person, which naturally made several cabinet masters look at each other.

They really don’t know what Yang Tinghe is thinking. Even if he wants to win the favor of the emperor, you can’t joke about your life.

Fei Hong looked at Yang Tinghe and said, "Sir, you should be in charge of the center. There are many officials in the court, and at most we can choose effective officials to go."

Yang Tinghe shook his head, looked at Fei Hong and others and said, "I have made up my mind. I will report it to Your Majesty tomorrow. I want to see if Lu Wenyang has the courage to attack me."

Jiang Mian, Fei Hong and others were silent in their hearts. Does Lu Wenyang have the courage to attack Yang Tinghe? Perhaps the title of Yang Ting and the cabinet chief minister can shock some people.

But it may not be able to intimidate Lu Wenyang.

Lu Wenyang is completely like a desperate person. There are many officials who have died directly and indirectly at the hands of Lu Wenyang over the years.

What a huge benefit Lu Wenyang is entrenched in the Grand Canal. There are many people who are eyeing this piece of fat. Even Lu Wenyang cannot handle everyone. Even if he eats Lu Wenyang's filial piety, there are still people who are not satisfied.

As for the position of Governor of the Cao Transport, almost every year someone tries to take it back from Lu Wenyang.

But Lu Wenyang was better than the chess. Any official who fought with him could almost never end up having a good end. Among them, it involved several senior officials at the level of the Six Ministers. Even so, they would still be unknown.

What Lu Wenyang did almost broke the bottom line of being an official, but as a result, few people were willing to tear off their faces with Lu Wenyang. In the past two years, no one even wanted to take such a big risk to fight with Lu Wenyang.

With such a past, Lu Wenyang could kill high-ranking officials in the court, so why couldn't he kill a chief minister of the court?

Anyway, if there is no evidence of death, the court will directly dispatch a large army, but even if it is directly dispatched, no one can guarantee whether Lu Wenyang, a madman, will directly cut off the canal transportation.

You should know that the canal transportation is a major artery that has been transfusions to the capital. Once the canal transportation is cut off by Lu Wenyang, in less than half a month, the price of the capital will definitely soar and may even fall into chaos.

If it weren't for this, how could Lu Wenyang be able to control the position of governor of the grain transport for so long with such almost desperate means?

Unless the emperor makes up his mind, several civil and military officials in the court can afford to force the governor of the Cao Transportation and be in a tough and tough manner with Lu Wenyang.

It can be said that there is no effective way to deal with the Chinese civil and military officials of the Korean War as a member of the country. Lu Wenyang is proud of it.

The next morning, Yang Tinghe really went to the leopard room and asked for the emperor.

In the hall, Zhu Houzhao was having a meal with Gu Dayong. Seeing Yang Tinghe coming, he couldn't help but say to Yang Tinghe: "Yang Qing's family, you can have breakfast, so why not have dinner with me!"

Yang Tinghe thanked Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report to Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly and looked at Yang Tinghe and said, "If you have anything to do with your family, just say it bluntly."

As he said that, Zhu Houzhao said to Gu Dayong again: "Parent Gu Da, prepare a seat for Yang Qing's family!"

Yang Tinghe lied and sat down and looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Yesterday, His Majesty had instructed me to send someone to investigate the governor of the grain transportation, Lu Wenyang."

Hearing Yang Tinghe mention this matter, Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Yes, Lu Wenyang must be dealt with strictly, otherwise where is the king's law?"

Yang Tinghe said, "Your Majesty is very true. After I went back yesterday, I discussed with several cabinet masters. Finally, I decided to take people to investigate Lu Wenyang in person!"

Zhu Houzhao nodded subconsciously, but immediately reacted and looked at Yang Tinghe in surprise and said, "Yang Qing family, you won't say it's bad, you are the chief minister of the cabinet, and it's not your turn to take people to investigate Lu Wenyang!"

No wonder Zhu Houzhao was so surprised. After all, Yang Tinghe was the chief minister of the cabinet, so he was definitely the number one person in the court. Even if there was something, there should be officials in the court who should do it. How could the chief minister do it himself?

Yang Tinghe looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty doesn't know the nature of Lu Wenyang. He even dares to kill the imperial envoy. I am afraid that if I send other people, I will not be shocked by Lu Wenyang, and I will be killed by him."

Zhu Houzhao slapped the table and shouted: "He dares! If he dares to assassinate the imperial envoy, I will send a large army to destroy him!"

Yang Tinghe sighed lightly: "Your Majesty, don't forget that Lu Wenyang has been in charge of the grain transport for so many years, but he is afraid that the generals of the guards along the grain transport have been bribed by him. By then, the imperial army may have not yet begun, and the grain transport will be cut off by the other party!"

Zhu Houzhao's expression changed and couldn't help but sneer and said, "What a good governor of the canal transport. According to what Yang Qing's family said, I must provide him with good support and keep him sitting in the seat of the governor of the canal transport, otherwise he will cut off my canal transport and disrupt the capital, right?"

Yang Tinghe nodded slightly and said, "That's true. Lu Wenyang has become a big deal. In fact, there are many officials in the court who are informed about his corruption, but everyone turned a blind eye for the sake of the overall situation..."

Zhu Houzhao, who was in a rage, couldn't help but shout angrily: "Even if I fight for the turmoil in the capital and the transportation of the canal is isolated, I will take him down this time. I want to see if this world is still my great tomorrow!"

Gu Dayong, who was beside him, hurriedly took a towel and wiped his hands for Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, calm down your anger!"

Yang Tinghe looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty said very well, but if a turmoil can be avoided, it will be a good thing for both the court and the country. Therefore, I beg your Majesty to allow me to go and investigate Lu Wenyang as an imperial envoy."

Zhu Houzhao, who was still angry, looked up at Yang Tinghe and said, "Lu Wenyang may be anxious. At that time, Yang Qing's family will not be able to enter the tiger's den? Then Lu Wenyang may not be concerned about your identity as the chief minister of the cabinet!"

Yang Tinghe looked righteous and looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, if there is a front line, I have to fight for it. The grain transportation cannot be cut off, and the capital cannot be in chaos!"

Looking at Yang Tinghe, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but hesitate and said, "Yang Qing family, this matter is of great importance. Let me think about it, and let me think about it very much!"
