Chapter 557

Yan Song also hoped that Zhang Hao would plead for those corrupt officials, but Zhang Hao would not pay attention to him.

"I can't say such a thing. I just said it. You should say it yourself. The Ming Lu wrote it clearly. If you don't believe it, just ask Master Zhou!" Zhang Hao shook his head and said, while looking at Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan could only shake his head with a wry smile. How could he say this? Yan Song wanted to save those people, but he could not sabotage him in front of him.

"Well, I also know their crimes. It is really not necessary to kill so many people suddenly. It is too bloody and it is indeed harmful to Your Majesty's reputation!" Yan Song was still holding on.

When Zhang Hao heard this, he laughed and said, "Gei Master, you may not have read it at the city gate, have you? I have written all the crimes of those corrupt officials. When the people saw it, they were all cursing. They wished they could be killed now and why were they still questioning?

Anyway, don't look for me, and I won't agree to this matter. If you can convince Your Majesty, that's your business. Of course I will listen to your Majesty!" Zhang Hao said, then picked up the teacup and drank tea, not wanting to tell them about this.

"Mr. Lu An, I heard that I was going to the local area to investigate the corrupt officials. I wonder if it was the Censorate or the Ministry of Justice this time!" Zhang Jing sat there and looked at Zhang Hao and said.

"I don't know, I haven't heard the news about this matter. Anyway, no matter who is responsible, the local government really needs to be managed. Those officials face the people directly. This time the court is exempted from taxes, and I guess the local government is still collecting taxes, so we have to go and check it!" Zhang Hao shook his head and said...

Anyway, I won’t tell them the truth. They can do whatever they want, but they just don’t admit it anyway.

"Is that you?" Yan Song stared at Zhang Hao and asked.

"I don't know, probably not. I still need to go to Tangshan, which is during the Chinese New Year, and I will only come back. Otherwise, I will be busy in Tangshan. There are still a lot of things to do there now!" Zhang Hao said to Yan Song.

Yan Song nodded when he heard this, and was still suspicious, but it seemed that it made sense to hear Zhang Hao say this.

Zhang Hao's mind has always been on Tangshan. He didn't care about the affairs of the court this way last year. He was called back by His Majesty to check the accounts at the end of the year, otherwise Zhang Hao wouldn't care about those things.

"Since that's the case, it's probably the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice will act together, and it's possible that the Ministry of Revenue will also send people down!" Yan Song sat there and said guessingly.

"Well, this is your business, I have no way to manage those things!" Zhang Hao said with a smile.

For them, you cannot tell the truth. If you tell them the truth in advance, they will not know how many troubles they will cause you.

Those corrupt officials are very brave and dare to do murder.

Then, a few people chatted and stopped talking about the court.

After lunch, Zhang Hao took Xu Shiyun to leave Xu Jie's mansion. There was no way. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, it was impossible for the family to stay without leaving anyone. There would be guests at home to visit. So not long after Zhang Hao returned home, there were posts outside, saying that Yu Dafang had a visit.

"Yu Dafang?"

When Zhang Hao heard this, he frowned. He had dinner together at Xu Jie's mansion at noon. What else can I do now? Moreover, after Yu Dafang took office, he had never come to visit alone. However, when he moved to the house, Zhang Hao invited him over.

"Please come here!" Zhang Hao said to the concierge.

"Yes, lord!" The person in charge went out immediately.

Soon, he took Yu Dafang to Zhang Hao's study.

"Harle Lu An, your study room is really good, this glass is really good!" After Yu Dafang came in, he saw the snow scene outside the window, and some plum blossoms had bloomed, which made people feel very comfortable to look at.

"Well, you can also make one at that time!" Zhang Hao asked him to sit down with a smile and said.

"That won't work, there's not that much money!" Yu Dafang waved his hand with a wry smile.

"Your Ge Lao is just joking? You are the master. You need to make a decision in the court. If you don't nod, who dares to make a decision?" Zhang Hao said to Yu Dafang with a smile.

"What's the use? Now those officials are giving gifts. If the value is high, I will return it. I don't expect you to be arrested in the Jinyiwei prison!" Yu Dafang said with a smile.

"Then let's joke, come and have tea!" Zhang Hao smiled and poured tea for Yu Dafang.

"Well, thank you, Mr. Lu An. I'm here today. There's something wrong with me. The main reason is that I might go down to check the accounts this time. I think Mr. Lu An, you must know!" Yu Dafang looked at Zhang Hao and asked.

"What do you want to know?" Zhang Hao asked with a smile when he heard this.

"Where is checking? I am worried that if I check the accounts randomly, it will cause trouble in the court. If I am not wrong, I will probably investigate Shandong and Shaanxi. Your Majesty will not let these two places go, right?" Yu Dafang continued to stare at Zhang Hao and asked.

"You continue to say, I don't know about those things anyway. You said it will cause trouble. What trouble?" Zhang Hao asked with a smile at Yu Dafang.

It is definitely not acceptable to admit it yourself, and you also need to know what trouble will be.

"Well, Mr. Lu An, you are the commander of the Jinyiwei. You should know how many people the King of Qin and King Lu arranged in the court. According to the news I know, officials with a little power will give gifts, some will accept them, and some will confiscate them.

If I really want to go to these two places to check the accounts, I dare say that there will definitely be many officials to stop them by then, and there will also be many officials to inform them. If it is the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Revenue to investigate, I guess the person will be ready before the person arrives and there will be no problem to be found!" Yu Dafang looked at Zhang Hao and said.

"It's possible!" Zhang Hao nodded and said.

"It's not possible, it's certain. It's probably a problem for the Censorate. It's just that a group of people have just changed, and it's probably going to be all lost there by then!" Yu Dafang said worriedly.

"What do you mean?" Zhang Hao looked at Yu Dafang with some ignorance. He didn't know what Yu Dafang would say when he was looking for him today?

"Sir, I also hope that you will check the accounts. If you don't find out these two places and don't deal with these two vassal kings, it will be difficult for the court to start. I know that other cabinet ministers may be afraid of them, Wang Bangrui, then they have already taken over the two vassal kings. Although there is no way to know how many of these benefits are, there must be.

Zhang Jing is a scholar who doesn't understand those things. He is just studying now. Zhou Yan is from the Censorate and is too upright. But now he is also learning smoothly. I don't know if he has received gifts from those vassal kings. Your father-in-law doesn't dare to do anything now, worried that it will affect you, so he is very cautious in doing things.

Yan Song was very anxious. He did not want those vassal kings to have trouble, nor did he want the Ming Dynasty to be in peace, nor did he want the Ming Dynasty to become prosperous and powerful. Once all these are achieved, Yan Song is not far from death.

Although he had helped His Majesty with many things before, he also got a lot of benefits, which would kill him. This morning, he has been expelling those corrupt officials. I hope you can go to His Majesty to help those officials. That's what he meant. He hoped that His Majesty could open a favor to those of them. Unexpectedly, he would also be executed in the whole family!" Yu Dafang looked at Zhang Hao and said.

"Well, you said so many people, what about you, what do you think?" Zhang Hao looked at Yu Dafang and asked.

"I hate the vassal kings. Since I served as the governor of Shanxi, the King of Jin has made things difficult for me everywhere and asked me to do things in Shanxi with caution. Although I did some things, it is not enough for me. Thanks to His Majesty's respect for me and mobilizing me to the cabinet, but I am still guilty of the people of Shanxi and have not allowed the people to live a good life. If it weren't for your arrival, I would deal with the people of Jin and the people of Shanxi would still be in a dark state!

Therefore, for those vassal kings, I hope that His Majesty can take tough measures to deal with them and stipulate that they can do whatever they can do. No matter what they do without regulations, it may be better, and for the people and courts of the Ming Dynasty, it will be better!" Yu Dafang sat there, looking at Zhang Hao and said.

"Well, then do you have any suggestions?" Zhang Hao sat there and spoke.

"It is better to check it out. Of course, I know you are busy, but this matter is related to the stability of the court. If you check the accounts, the Jinyiwei will help you. In addition, your status is high, those vassal kings dare not attack you. Even if you do it, you have the ability to protect yourself. After all, there are so many people around you!" Yu Dafang looked at Zhang Hao and said.

"You want all the vassal kings to be cleaned up!" Zhang Hao said with a smile.

"That's right, all the civil and military officials in the court, only you have such ability to calm them down!" Yu Dafang said without hesitation.

"Well, if you have any ideas, just write the memorial and send it to the Danfang myself. It's not that you can't go to the Danfang. You can go occasionally and find a suitable reason, it's okay!" Zhang Hao reminded Yu Dafang with a smile.

"Well, I'm a little afraid to see Your Majesty. After all, I'm a little scared!" Yu Dafang said embarrassedly.

He rarely faces Jiajing alone, and the ministers are actually afraid of Jiajing. Few people dare to see Jiajing alone. Of course, Zhang Hao dares to sleep in the alchemy room and snore and force Jiajing to change places to sleep.
