Although Wu Dui was very angry and wanted to refute Zhang Jing loudly, he couldn't say anything. Now that the Emperor had his eyes on the Armory Department and the Armory Department had made such a big mess, it was hard for him, the Minister of War, to escape the blame!
"Then Eunuch Chang should investigate the case well and live up to the Emperor's grace!" After saying this, Wu Dui turned and left.
"Thank you for the reminder, Minister Wu. I will do my best to work for the Imperial Majesty."
Zhang Jing, who was behind Wu Dui, bowed with a bright smile on his face, but the sarcasm in his words was unmistakable.
After everyone left, Zhang Jing glanced at Liu Shouyou and said with a smile, "Should we bring the people we found back to the Imperial Bodyguard's Zhao Prison?"
"Look at this one in charge of purchasing, this one in charge of iron, and this one in charge of forging armaments. The evidence is conclusive. What's the point of keeping them?
Bring them back to the Imperial Bodyguard's Zhao Prison and interrogate them! "As he said this, Zhang Jing pointed at a few people.
"Also, send people to search their houses. Let's see how much silver they have."
Both Zhang Jing and Liu Shouyou knew about Wang Zhong and Xing Shangzhi's search in Hejian Prefecture. Now, the Imperial Bodyguard and Dongchang were talking about how much silver they had confiscated.
The two big shots couldn't say anything when their subordinates searched. Now, they could also search their own houses!
Liu Shouyou smiled and nodded. "Eunuch Chang's words make sense. I will do as Eunuch Chang says."
"Men, bring these people out for this Governor. Put them all into the Brocade Guard's North Discipline Office. This Governor will personally interrogate them."
Liu Shouyou knew the priorities of the matter. There was no need for him to do it himself. He had many people under him who specialized in searching houses.
He pointed at one of the Qianhu and said, "Zhao Donglai, you, bring people to search his house."
"Yes, my lord!"
Zhao Donglai quickly bowed and agreed. His face was full of excitement. He turned around and waved to the people behind him. "Brothers, let's go!"
The news of Dongchang and the Imperial Bodyguard making a big fuss in the Arsenal Department naturally could not be hidden. A few days ago, the Imperial Bodyguard had caused a ruckus in the Arsenal Department. However, that was an order from the Emperor, and no one could do anything about it. However, they could not do it again!
Today's Ministry of War might be tomorrow's him. He could not tolerate this.
Therefore, many people began to prepare to write memorials. The content was basically about impeachment and opposition.
The targets of the impeachment were naturally Dongchang and the Imperial Bodyguard, with emphasis on Zhang Jing and Liu Shouyou. As for the objection, it was very simple. They objected to the way the case was investigated.
If everyone surrounded the yamen to investigate cases, what would happen to the yamen's daily work?
Basically, impeachment was strict, and opposition was tactful. Persuasion was the main method. The yamen's daily work had to be taken into account. Otherwise, if official business was delayed, the losses would outweigh the gains.
As for solutions, there were none.
In fact, what Zhu Yijun hated the most was reading memorials like this. They would analyze a lot of shortcomings, cite a lot of classics, and then talk about a lot of harm. However, they would not give you a solution to the problem.
Or they might as well use a very general method, similar to the big talk and empty talk of the future.
The memorials looked righteous and righteous, as if they were dedicated to the country. However, it was useless. The problem was still not solved!
For example, the supervisor of the mines that the Wanli Emperor had sent out. Yes, the supervisor of the mines was a lot of harm. Then give us a way to collect taxes!
That would definitely not be given. We were only publicizing the disadvantages of the supervisor of the mines and the harm he caused to the local area. As for taxes, what was that?
Why did they have to pay taxes? We didn't know about it, and they actually had to pay taxes?
Zhu Yijun had been angered by such memorials many times. He wished he could capture the person who submitted the memorials and kill him.
Standing on the moral high ground, he would spew out a lot of criticism, accusing them of this and that. Fine, I'm in the wrong. I admit it. Then give me a good idea!
In the end, the person would shake his head and say, "I don't have any ideas. This is not under my control."
Zhu Yijun had wanted to retort, "If you can do it, then do it. If you can't do it, then don't talk!"
In fact, most of the time, the Daming officials would say, "If I don't do it, then I will talk!"
Most of the time, these people were not just there to watch the show. They would just say whatever they wanted, but they would stir up trouble. This was something that Zhu Yijun could not stand.
For example, right now, there was a huge pile of memorials in front of Zhu Yijun. It looked really thick!
He reached out and picked up one of the memorials. Zhu Yijun opened it and took a look. It was about impeaching the Imperial Bodyguard of Hejian Prefecture and Dongchang's rampage.
The next one was about impeaching the Imperial Bodyguard and Dongchang's rampage.
The third one was about impeaching Sun Piyang for colluding with the Imperial Bodyguard and Dongchang's rampage to arrest people and extort money.
The fourth one was about impeaching the Imperial Bodyguard and Dongchang's rampage. There were more than a dozen articles.
Zhu Yijun basically threw the memorials away after glancing at them.
He turned to look at Zhang Cheng and said, "Take a look at these memorials. Take away all the ones that impeach the Imperial Bodyguard and Dongchang's rampage in Hejian Prefecture!"
"Yes, Imperial Majesty!" Zhang Cheng answered respectfully.
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said, "If there are practical suggestions, keep them. Take away all the ones that only impeach."
In fact, in addition to the eunuchs who held the writing brush, there were many accompanying eunuchs in the Bureau of Rites. They were the ones who did all the work.
However, there were many eunuchs in the Bureau of Rites.
If Zhu Yijun were to read them by himself, he would probably die of exhaustion. Daming so many memorials from officials. How could he expect the Emperor to read them by himself? What a joke.
He stood up and stretched his body. He waved at a palace maid not far away, then turned over and lay on the bed.
This palace maid was called Lian 'er. Her surname was Li. This name was given to her by a eunuch after she entered the palace. She learned the art of massage from Liu Seol and was sent to him a few days ago.
Zhu Yijun was a little addicted to it. He read memorials all day long. His body was about to become stiff.
Every time she gave him a massage, he felt much more comfortable. Young people should pay attention to their health!
Zhu Yijun enjoyed Lian 'er's massage while moaning comfortably. He then turned to look at Zhang Cheng and asked, "How's Zhang Jing?
Hasn't he sent someone to send back news?
When did he become so unreliable? "
"Replying to the Imperial Majesty, they sent a message," Zhang Cheng paused, then said, "Old Slave was afraid to disturb the Emperor, so he didn't report."
"Things are going smoothly. Eunuch Chang and Governor Liu have already found a lot of evidence. The Imperial Bodyguard has already sent people to the Imperial Bodyguard. At the same time, they've also sent people to search the houses."
Zhu Yijun narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhang Cheng. This Zhang Cheng was really unrepentant!
Compared to Zhang Jing, Zhang Cheng was far inferior. Zhang Jing was usually able to understand his intentions and do things according to his ideas. However, this Zhang Cheng couldn't.
He wasn't against fighting, but it would be terrible to ruin official business because of fighting.
