Chapter 342

Jiajing was very angry at this moment, and Zhou Yan also agreed very much, because the stockpiling of salt has touched the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. If they wanted to mess up the Ming Dynasty, the ministers in this court could not agree, and what King Jin did this time was indeed a bit too much.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach King Jin!" Zhou Yan stood there and attacked Jiajing.

"Impossess now? What have you been doing? You all neglected your duties at the Censorate. If Zhang Hao had not searched those salt merchants in Shanxi, I would have been in chaos in the Ming Dynasty in less than a month!" Jiajing shouted at Zhou Yan.

"Yes, the emperor, the Censorate will immediately reflect on itself, and will start impeaching people from the King of Jin and King of Jin as soon as possible. They are simply crazy to do so!" Zhou Yan immediately bowed and said, "There was no way. They had not had the information before, so now they are scolded by Jiajing, so they dare not say anything. After all, they are indeed wrong.

"You all the Censorate wants to thoroughly investigate this matter. No matter who is involved, you should impeach and impeachment. I don't want such a thing to happen again. If you don't teach enough lessons, those people will not have a memory!" Jiajing pointed at Zhou Yan and warned.

"Yes, the emperor, but there are many lords from the King of Jin. If you investigate this way, there will be obstacles!" Zhou Yan immediately said to Jiajing.

"If you have any obstacles, you will investigate whoever dares to do so!" Jiajing shouted to Zhou Yan.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhou Yan asked for this sentence. If it weren't for this sentence, it would be difficult for them to investigate. Now that they have this sentence, they will feel much more at ease.

"It's outrageous. If it weren't for Zhang Hao, I wouldn't dare to think downwards!" Jiajing said, sitting down, touching his forehead, and Zhou Yan nodded in agreement, not daring to think downwards. Without salt, this is a fatal matter. The people have no salt, and when they are incited, they will be able to rebel against the Ming Dynasty immediately.

"Why haven't you come yet?" Jiajing sat there and waited for a while, but still shouted angrily.

"The emperor atones for his sins. I have sent someone to inform me. It is an urgent matter to tell them, and they will definitely come soon!" Lu Fang said to Jiajing immediately.

"What do the officials of the six ministries and cabinet officials think and why they impeached Zhang Hao. They know nothing about what the King of Jin did!" Jiajing asked Zhou Yan.

"This is a blaming Zhang Hao for saying this. There is no news from Zhang Hao. If I hadn't posted a message to ask Zhang Hao, there would be no news from Zhang Hao!" Zhou Yan bowed to Jiajing and said.

"Can you blame Zhang Hao? Zhang Hao has only been there for a few days. Look at what Zhang Hao wrote. How much has he done in the past few days? It takes a lot of energy to send out the salt. He could think that the capital would impeach him, and it would be a false accusation to impeach him!" Jiajing said to Zhou Yan, also defending Zhang Hao.

"Yes, yes, Zhang Hao can't blame him for this, and I really didn't expect it!" Zhou Yan nodded immediately and said. If he couldn't understand Jiajing's words, he wouldn't have to be the censor of the Left Censor.

"Zhang Hao made great contributions this time, and the salt has been sent out now. According to what he said above, as soon as tomorrow, salt will be sold in places with salt deficiency. This time, the Imperial Guards and the Jinyiwei also used the escort of salt. In extraordinary times, it was very good to use extraordinary methods, which could make the people not disappoint the court and do a good job!" Jiajing said to Zhou Yan.

"Yes!" Zhou Yan immediately bowed and nodded in agreement.

At this time, in Xu Jie's mansion, after receiving the notice, Xu Jie immediately came to the Danfang side. While on the way, he met Yan Song.

"It's probably something from Shanxi. The things Zhang Hao wrote are all true. Do the emperor know? Have you shown it to the emperor?" Yan Song asked Xu Jie while rushing on the road.

"I showed it to the emperor, but the emperor didn't believe it very much. Now I have to wait for Zhang Hao's personal report. I don't know what happened now!" Xu Jie lied and said. If the news was leaked, he knew how much trouble he would have.

"That's it. The emperor will definitely ask someone to investigate, but it probably isn't that fast, right?" Yan Song asked Xu Jie.

"That's not clear. Could it be that Zhang Hao wrote the memorial at this time?" Xu Jie asked Yan Song.

"It's possible that Zhang Hao should report at this time." Yan Song was right when he heard this. Zhang Hao could write a memorial for Jiajing. At this time, Zhang Hao's memorial might have come to Jiajing's hands. If this is the case, it would make sense. Soon they met Lu Ben again. The three of them didn't speak and rushed to the Danfang in a hurry. Now they just want to see what Jiajing is going to do.

At this moment, they found that the King of Jin was also walking towards the Danfang. The three of them looked at each other and were sure that it was the matter of Shanxi. However, they did not pursue King of Jin Zhu Xinyan, but followed behind and hung from a distance. They didn't want to have too many words with King of Jin now.

After they arrived at the alchemy room, the eunuch immediately reported it. Then Lu Ben brought Yan Song and Xu Jie, the six ministers of the ministry, or the left minister of the management, into the alchemy room. King Zhu Xinyan of Jin also followed in.

When they got inside, they immediately saluted Jiajing. Jiajing sat on the platform and didn't say anything. They just looked at Zhou Yan standing there. Now Zhou Yan is in charge of the Censorate, but he is not the Censor of the Censorate, but he is only the Deputy Censor of the Left Commander.

"You chant, chant!" Jiajing closed his eyes and pointed at Zhou Yan's direction and spoke.

"Yes, the emperor!" Zhou Yan nodded, and Lu Fang handed it to Zhou Yan with the letter Zhang Hao returned to the Censorate. Zhou Yan picked it up and started reading it.

"To the left deputy envoy of the Censorate and the censors, I received an inquiry letter from the Censorate today and answered one by one. First, I did not check the property of Shanxi salt merchants without authorization. As soon as I arrived in Shanxi, I summoned the salt merchants to discuss the release of salt." Zhou Yan stood there and began to recite,

As Zhang Hao said that after checking more than 4 million dans of salt, King Zhu Xinlong of Jin was already sitting softly on the ground. He knew it. If Jiajing knew about it, he would definitely be very angry. When the ministers heard it, they all looked at each other in shock, and then secretly looked at King Jin.

"Second, I found out the salt and immediately asked Hu Zongxian and Zhang Juzheng to distribute salt to all parts of the country. I was the commander of the Jinyiwei. Through the Jinyiwei, I knew where the salt was short and how much was missing. I immediately used the Jinyiwei. The Imperial Guard began to transport salt. It is expected that I could arrive all parts of the country as soon as tonight. It is not ruled out that there are unexpected situations in the salt affairs.

Third, after the investigation, I have been investigating who organized it behind the scenes. As the commander of the Jinyiwei, I have the right to investigate to repay the emperor's trust."

Zhou Yan was still reciting there, but the ministers knew it. This time it was a false accusation, which was the King of Jin's slander for Zhang Hao. In order to retaliate against Zhang Hao, the King of Jin dared to let the salt merchants hoard salt. He did not expect that Zhang Hao would dare to confiscate the house. Under normal circumstances, there was no sufficient evidence and he could not confiscate the house. However, Zhang Hao was an imperial envoy and could copy it first and then report it. If it was not copied out, it would be troublesome.

As Zhou Yan finished reading Zhang Hao's reply, the entire Danfang fell into silence. Zhou Yan saw that Jiajing didn't say anything, so he spoke: "I sent a letter of inquiry to Zhang Hao yesterday morning, asking Zhang Hao to answer the matters of the officials impeach him now. Unexpectedly, all of them were fake, so after receiving Zhang Hao's reply, I came to report to the emperor as soon as possible!"

"What else do you have to say?" Jiajing sat there and asked, "No one spoke to the ministers,

But the King of Jin spoke first: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for your crime. I don't know about this. I didn't expect that the salt merchants in Shanxi were so bold. They asked someone to find me, and I wanted to help them, so I found the ministers and asked them to impeach Zhang Hao. But I didn't expect that the salt merchants would actually expire in this way, and I would also ask the emperor to punish me!"

King Jin reacted quickly and immediately pushed all the responsibilities to the salt merchants. He knew that Jiajing would definitely investigate the people behind him. In order to prevent Jiajing from continuing to investigate, he had to admit that the impeachment of Zhang Hao was done by himself. Jiajing ignored him and looked at Xu Jie and the others.

"Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be investigated to see who is joining forces with those salt merchants. If you do such a traitorous thing!" Yan Song said first,

He knew that if he didn't express his opinion, Jiajing would not let him go this time, and he also impeached Zhang Hao. Just now, King Jin said that it was the person he was looking for to impeach Zhang Hao, which means that King Jin had found him. If he didn't step on King Jin at this time, Jiajing would deal with him tomorrow.

"Your Majesty, I mean the same thing. I need to investigate clearly. Zhang Hao made great contributions this time!" Lu Ben also bowed his hand and said immediately, and now he can only investigate.

"Your Majesty, I agree to the investigation. If you don't investigate, Zhang Hao will be really unfair this time. He has made great contributions in Shanxi. Unexpectedly, the ministers in the court not only did not give him help but stab him in the back. If they do not continue to investigate, who will dare to do things seriously in the future?" Xu Jie also bowed his hand and said.

"Yeah!" Jiajing nodded, then looked at King Jin.

"Your Majesty, I deserve to die, I deserve to die, I shouldn't believe the words of those salt merchants. As expected, I cannot believe the words of the merchants. I am wrong, so I ask the emperor to punish me!" The King of Jin kowtowed immediately and said.
