Chapter 456

Those cabinet ministers don’t know how to deal with Zhang Hao’s affairs now. Zhang Hao arrested Sun Lianchun. For the officials of the Ming Dynasty, it was a huge blow. No one expected that Zhang Hao would dare to do this, and he did so so terrible that the ministers could not react.

They also thought that no matter what, if Zhang Hao killed Sun Liankai, he would not dare to attack Sun Lianchun, but Zhang Hao dared to attack, not only dared to attack, but also arrested all the officials who went to speak out for them. This matter also reached Jiajing's ears.

"Catch them, arrest them all?" Jiajing asked Chen Hong after hearing this.

"Yes, the emperor, you have arrested them. Lu Anhou is still brave. Anyone like this dares to arrest them!" Chen Hong nodded immediately and said to Jiajing.

"It's good to catch it!" Jiajing nodded after hearing this, and said, Chen Hong was stunned. He was better to catch it, but he was a court official. He would arrest him as soon as he said he would.

"If they didn't arrest them, they thought Zhang Hao was afraid of them, and they thought they could do whatever they wanted with their backs on those vassal kings! Who knew that when they met a Zhang Hao, there was nothing that this kid dared to do!" Jiajing sat there and said sneeringly.

"Yes, the emperor, but now those ministers have great opinions!" Chen Hong stood there and continued to speak.

"Opinions, what can I have? It's just that the Ming Dynasty has no king's law and the Ming Dynasty has no heaven's law. What? As they mean, it's the king's law, it's the heaven's law?" After Jiajing looked at Chen Hong, he lowered his head and continued to look at the memorial. Now the ministers are still impeaching Zhang Hao and saying that Zhang Hao killed Sun Liankai.

At noon, the ministers in the court felt something was wrong. Why didn’t they move yet? Jiajing had no intention of blaming Zhang Hao at all, and there was no movement in the cabinet. This made them very confused. After the meal, the ministers gathered together.

"The emperor is so protective of Zhang Hao. It's too much. So, we ministers have some status in their eyes? They can arrest them whenever they say they want, and kill them when they say they want? Can we ministers say any dignity?"

"That's right, the emperor handles things like this and favors this villain so much. How can we become officials in the future? Just leave the entire Ming Dynasty to manage, and leave it to the Jinyiwei to manage it. Why do we have to be officials?"

"In this matter, we still have to go to Yuxi Palace. The cabinet is not good. Those people in the cabinet are greedy for official positions and are afraid of Zhang Hao. I don't believe that Zhang Hao dares to kill officials all over the world. For this matter, we still have to go to Yuxi Palace!"

"Yes, let the cabinet ministers go too. If the cabinet ministers don't go to this matter, we will not go to court and will not handle official duties. At worst, we will go home!"...

The officials said excitedly, and became more angry as they spoke, so they went to the cabinet one after another.

And the six cabinet ministers had just finished their meal and were about to rest.

"Sir, many ministers outside rushed here, saying that they wanted you to preside over justice for Master Sun!" An official came in and said to them.

"Nonsense!" Xu Jie immediately said angrily when he heard this. Don't you think there are too many things now? Do they think it's not messy enough?

"Ge Lao Xu, this cannot be said to be a nonsense. After all, there are still many officials arrested now. Those officials still need to be released in advance, right? Can't we really let Zhang Hao go to interrogate, right?" Wang Bangrui sat there and said to Xu Jie.

"Is this time to talk about this? Since Zhang Hao arrested them, there must be a reason to arrest them. Now we should calm this matter as soon as possible and don't make trouble. Then we will find Zhang Hao and let Zhang Hao release him. Now Zhang Hao is angry. Is it useful to go find him? They are simply causing trouble!" Xu Jie sat there and said excitedly.

He originally planned to find Zhang Hao in the next two days and ask Zhang Hao to release Sun Lianchun and the others. This matter is like this. After all, Sun Liankai is already dead. If Sun Lianchun continues to be arrested, it is a bit unreasonable. In addition, those officials are arrested like this, which is unreasonable!

At this moment, all the officials arrived, and were very excited. He shouted to Xu Jie and the others: "Dear Cabinet ministers, you are the leaders of our civil ministers. Now Zhang Hao is doing such a mischief. If you have not taken action, you will still let Zhang Hao do this. How can we ministers become officials in the future? What kind of dignity do we have? Lord, now, please go with us to petition at Yuxi Palace. No matter what, you must deal with Zhang Hao!"

"Nonsense, go back!" Xu Jie stood up and shouted at them.

"Sir, Zhang Hao is your son-in-law, we all know, but you can't protect your son-in-law like this. We will just talk about the matter. If you still commit favoritism and fraud, I will participate in you!" Another minister stared at Xu Jie and said.

"Yes, you can't do this!" The ministers also shouted loudly, and Xu Jie was also very angry at this moment.

"I said, what do you want? Do you think the matter is that simple? Don't you know, someone is inciting this matter? When Zhang Hao was in Shanxi before, you wrote a letter to impeach. I want to know who asked you to write a letter. The Minister of Works said that Zhang Hao was going to make pig iron, but you just want to impeach? Whose idea and who instigated it?" Yan Song sat there and asked the ministers. Otherwise, if Jiang was still old, Yan Song would talk about the matter directly.

"But no one incites us!" When the ministers heard this, they felt a little unnatural.

"No one incites? Everyone is in charge of the same court. Do you think we don't understand the specifics? If no one incites, why are you impeaching Zhang Hao?

Many of you are not from the Ministry of Works, nor from the Ministry of Revenue. If you are in charge of such matters, you are staring at Zhang Hao and not letting go. If no one is instigating or inciting him, do you think Zhang Hao will believe it? What do you think Zhang Hao arrested those officials for? Just to vent his anger?

I tell you, he is trying to find out the person behind him. You go to Yuxi Palace now. Then Zhang Hao will arrest you together and then interrogate him. He insists on asking who will go to Yuxi Palace first. If you can't say it, the torture instruments from the Jinyiwei are enough for you to eat. Don't tell me that the punishment cannot be given to the doctor. Zhang Hao has no such statement, so I advise you to think twice!" Yan Song sat there and looked at the ministers and said.

"This!" The ministers were a little hesitant at this moment, and some people who were bribed by the vassal kings dared not talk too much now. Once they talk too much, it would be very obvious and they would expose themselves at that time.

"So, do your business honestly, and what Master Sun is not as simple as you think. Don't cause trouble for yourself!" Yan Song sat there and said to the ministers.

"We have not contacted the vassal kings!" A minister looked at Yan Song and stressed.

"Since there is no, why are you going to Yuxi Palace? If you don't contact the vassal kings, go back honestly!" Xu Jie said with a dark face at this moment.

"Yes, yes!" Some ministers turned around immediately, and others who didn't want to leave. Now that they saw this situation, they turned around and left. They knew they could not go. Soon, the ministers left.

Xu Jie also bowed to Yan Song: "It's better foresight that Master Yan is far-sighted and knows the benefits and interests of it, otherwise something will happen again!"

"Hey, if you care, it will be in chaos. How could Zhang Hao arrest those people? Zhang Hao will definitely investigate those people. I guess all of them will not be able to come out by then. This time, there are powers of the vassal kings behind them. Those vassal kings don't know what they think so. They want to interfere with the court. They are staring at Zhang Hao now!" Yan Song said with a smile.

"Well, I guess I'm afraid that Zhang Hao will rectify the tax. If Zhang Hao goes, it will affect the interests of those vassal kings, so they want to overthrow Zhang Hao now." Xu Jie nodded and said,

The other four people looked at them. They had never been exposed to such things before, so they just heard about the affairs of the vassal kings, but they had never really considered it. Now when they heard Yan Song and the others say this, they also started to think about it.

However, Wang Bangrui was shocked. Before, Sun Liankai brought people to his residence, hoping that he and Sun Liankai would impeach Zhang Hao together. He agreed, but he did not think about it carefully.

Now that I think about it, I was sold by Sun Liankai. The person I brought before was the King of Qin, but I didn't take advantage of the King of Qin. Thinking of this, Wang Bangrui's face turned a little pale. He knew that Sun Liankai knew that he and Zhang Hao were not in dealing with him and could not stand Zhang Hao like this, but he did not expect that he would be used like this, and he was still speaking up for Sun Liankai.

"The vassal kings have already become more powerful than they can be defeated. They need to rectify and interfere with the court's work. The emperor probably wants to warn them!" Xu Jie sat there and spoke.

"Ha, the vassal king, the vassal king is very arrogant. Let alone the vassal king, just talk about the children of the royal family. When I was in Taiyuan, Shanxi, I dared to offend someone. If I offend one person, they would attack him in groups. This is how the previous vassal kings were destroyed.

If I were not a person in Shanxi, I would have been cleaned up by them long ago, and the same is true in other places. The clans of the royal family are now interfering with the government affairs of local officials, which is very dangerous!" Yu Dafang said sneered at this moment. He was promoted from the position of Shanxi governors. He was the most clear about the virtues of those vassal kings and clan children.
