A series of memorials were urgently reported to Jinling.

Recently, Jinling has been raining and raining, and ordinary people cannot help but curse, but literati and poets are all very excited and specially chose this day of drizzle like silk to sit in a sedan chair or an oil umbrella to raft on the lake. The Qinhuai River is covered with a faint gauze-like smoke. In the smoke, the shore is slowly shaking in the drizzle and breeze. The raindrops hit the willow leaves, rustling, like a dream.

On the boat, Jin Zhong, the Minister of War, did not have a leisure time for too long. A small boat leaned on the stairs, and then someone looked for Jin Zhong and said a few words in his ears.

Jin Zhong frowned when he heard this, got off the boat and left.

The Forbidden City was shrouded in this mist, and the mist like a veil swirled in the bright palace walls, and still could not hide its majesty.

The warm gaze was born in the warm room, and the heat was steaming, and the good news fell on the desk. Zhu Di was both relaxed and a bit solemn.

The ministers summoned had already sat down one after another, and many people looked very uncomfortable.

Jin Zhong came later. He was not on duty today and took a break from his busy schedule. Who knew something happened at this time?

Zhu Di said slowly: "You guys, do you know what the good news a few days ago?"

His Majesty opened his golden mouth, and naturally waited for everyone to speak freely.

In fact, most of the ministers are squids, all of whom are slippery, but they have many tentacles. Now His Majesty is not even determined tone. God knows what they are thinking, so everyone is in a dilemma. If they set the tone, everyone must speak freely, but if they don’t set the tone, they will be out of mind. Who knows if they will say the wrong thing?

So many people went to see Xie Jin in a terrible way.

Xie Jin had an old face and was Wubo. He wanted to tear all these people in his heart. Although he was the most trustworthy of His Majesty, he was also in an important position. But this was a superficial light. At least at this time, everyone could be a turtle with a head-reducing head, but he couldn't.

Xie Jin smiled and said slowly: "I have seen the good news a few days ago, and it has attacked Huian directly. The thief army was in chaos, and the Marquis of Fengcheng took advantage of the situation to attack again. It seems that the restoration of Jiaozhi is just around the corner. This matter is gratifying for the country, and it is also a great joy for the monks and lay people of Jiaozhi. Of course, the Marquis of Haifang Hao Fenglou and the Marquis of Fengcheng Li Bin have made great contributions..."

Zhu Di said lightly: "The Marquis of Fengcheng is dead..."

After Zhu Di finished speaking, the people present were stunned.

How did you die? Why is there no reward?

Any memorial usually passes through Wenyuan Pavilion and Tongzhengsi. How could you die if you say you die? Your Majesty knows it, but the rest don’t know it?

This incident not only shocked people, but also made Xie Jinren and others have a bad premonition. Li Bin's life and death were irrelevant to him, but the most important thing was why the emperor could get news from the outside of the palace without showing his voice.

The scholars and others in Wenyuan Pavilion actually have different official positions and ranks, and they may not be as good as those of the Shangshu in each department in terms of qualifications. The most important reason why they have a respectable status is that they are well-informed and have the power to discuss politics. Almost all memorials need to go through these people, and these people have formulated their opinions on the memorials and sent them to the emperor for their review. They are equivalent to the emperor's aides. As long as their drafting of the votes is not too contrary to the emperor's intentions, they will basically follow them.

So in a sense, their power is equivalent to that of the prime minister, but now, they suddenly find that their information is not very well-informed.

Zhu Di immediately pointed to the stack of memorials on the desk and said, "I am a little tired. I want to take a break. Please read the memorials here by myself. Half an hour later, I will discuss this matter with you."

After saying that, Zhu Di stood up and left.

Everyone here, look at me, look at you, Jin Zhong and other ministers can still be calm. Anyway, they are in the ministry, and the matter of the memorial has nothing to do with them. As for what happened, they are a little curious.

But for Xie Jin, Jin Youzi, Hu Yanren, Yang Rong, Yang Shiqiren, etc., it is extraordinary.

But at this time, they didn't have the heart to worry about this, and some internal officials took out the stack of memorials and distributed them.

Xie Jin's face was quite calm, and he looked at the memorials patiently.

Without exception, these memorials all come from Jiaozhi.

There are many people who wrote the letter, and there are many generals. The words they all denounce Li Bin as a deceiving the king and the superiors, killing good people and taking credit for military pay.

Xie Jin was watching here, and Jin Zhong was watching too. It didn't matter if he saw it, but only then did he realize that Hao Fenglou had killed Li Bin.

As the Minister of War, Jin Zhong really didn't know what to say. Li Bin was the general officer. With such an identity and no imperial edict, who would dare to kill him easily? Even if he was sent to the Minister of War, he would never dare to act rashly.

But Hao Fenglou actually killed the general when he said that.

Although Li Bin is guilty, that shouldn't be the case.

Not only that, there are also many military officers who have lost their heads.

Jin Zhong took a deep breath and frowned. Although he thought that Hao Fenglou was very brave, he thought that Hao Fenglou was not a good person. Since he dared to kill someone, he would have something to rely on, so he continued to turn down.

Only after seeing this did I realize that it was shocking. There were complaints everywhere, ranging from deceiving the emperor, from forcing the robbery of the people, and greedy for military pay.

After careful consideration, Jin Zhong knew that Li Bin was guilty. Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many memorials to be said to be completely nonsense. But then again, Li Bin has been listed with hundreds of crimes, so he is really bad to this point? It is definitely not the case. Most of the time, it is because the wall is falling and everyone is pushing it. Everyone is dirty, so they simply poured all the sewage on Li Bin.

In other words, if Li Bin is not dead, as long as he is still there, he will still have a mouth, with confidants and relatives and friends, and no one dares to act rashly like this. But if Li Bin dies, he cannot speak anyway. It just so happens that everyone is not polite about the bad debts in the Jiaozhi army.

Hao Fenglou killed Li Bin, probably because he had this idea.

Of course, the real reason for killing Li Bin is in Hao Fenglou's memorial: "The officials forced the people to rebel, and Jiaozhi complained and repeated over and over again. Today, the enemy was suppressed, and tomorrow the enemy was full of Japanese enemies, and they were endless. All of them were because Jiaozhi hated Li Bin. In order to please the people, I had to kill him."

This is not difficult to understand, and it has a bit of a strong argument. However, the facts are right in front of you. When Li Bin dies, Jiaozhi will be calmed down. If Jiaozhi is in chaos, it will be Hao Fenglou's responsibility. But if Jiaozhi is in peace, it will prove that Hao Fenglou is correct.

At the same time, many of these memorials were related to the memorials of Annan gentry and famous scholars, and there was only one reason, such as Li Bin's harm to the country and the people.

After reading all the memorials, no one here said anything.

Everyone looked at each other, but they all had their own plans.

It has to be said that Hao Fenglou's courage has exceeded their expectations, but overall, it seems that Hao Fenglou is justified in killing and has nowhere to be picky at the moment. Of course, there are also picky places, but they can justify themselves, which is embarrassing.

After a while, Zhu Di came back.

Zhu Di was still wearing the same casual clothes, but he still couldn't hide his tiger's aura. He sat on the imperial chair with a thunderous look, closed his eyes and said, "What do you think?"

Jin Youzi smiled and said, "I have read this memorial. It's logical that this matter is big or small. Li Bin is guilty, but after all, he is guarding the country. How can he kill him just by saying that he is killed? So I think that I have to ask about this matter."

Zhu Di smiled, but said indifferently: "It is a breaking the rules when you say killing, but don't you see it? This is a temporary solution, to appease people's hearts. Li Bin killed Liang and slaughtered the people. Everyone hated him to the core. Will it be possible? If he doesn't kill him, how long will the rebellion be consumed? Hao Fenglou cuts the mess with a quick knife, and he can't make mistakes."

Jin Youzi was turned away. He didn't know that there were always letters between Zhu Di and Hao Fenglou. Although Zhu Di did not explicitly say that he killed Li Bin, he also wanted to let Hao Fenglou act cheaply.

In this way, Zhu Di's thoughts were clear. It was gratifying to pacify Jiaozhi, while others were all trivial and not worth mentioning.

Even Jin Zhong, the people here, were in silence at this moment, and they really had no intention of touching this reverse scale at this moment.

Xie Jin smiled and nodded, "Your Majesty said so much. Li Bin deserves to be killed. Although the method is up to be discussed, he will not accept the orders of the outside king after all. The reason is reasonable. Hao Fenglou is indeed a pillar of my Ming Dynasty, which is very satisfying. Even the military officers in the army applauded him. The gentry of Jiaozhi and the famous scholars also waved flags and shouted for him. With Hao Fenglou here, the overall situation of Jiaozhi can be determined."

Xie Jin was slow, but many people were shocked.

Xie Gong’s words are heartbroken!

Think about it, a minister, who was in a place like Jiaozhi, where the emperor was far away from the mountains, received support from the army and the people. Although he was praiseworthy, did he secretly say that Hao Fenglou was full of wings?

No emperor can see that his ministers are too rich. Even if he is a crown prince, the emperor will be on guard against it, let alone his adopted son.

Duke Jie said slowly, but suddenly changed his mind and said, "Your Majesty, since Jiaozhi has been settled and should be rewarded according to merits, why not immediately summon Hao Fenglou and his son to the capital? Your Majesty must call him to ask for the grace and order. However, I think that the Hao family father and son are deeply loved by the soldiers of Jiaozhi and the people. At this time, Jiaozhi is in trouble and may not be willing to let go."

At this moment, everyone looked at Jie Jin in surprise.

Xie Jin was still smiling slightly, like a spring breeze.
