Chen Weibing hoped that Xue Guoguan, who had been praised by His Majesty the Emperor, would not go to Chahar after pleading for him in the Shangpin.

But when his own knock on the door, Chen Weibing saw the Dongchang military service.

Chen Weibing fainted on the spot.

He didn't expect that the person he was waiting for was from Dongchang.

This undoubtedly made him very sure that the emperor really wanted to punish him.

Xue Guoguan is enjoying the snow in the yard. He has just received the benefits of Chen Weibing, and he is in a good mood now.

However, not long after, Xue Guoguan also learned from his housekeeper that someone had come to Dongchang.

After hearing this, Xue Guoguan lost his soul immediately, and was at a loss in place and said to himself: "How did Dongchang know?"

Xue Guoguan thought about it for a while before slapping his forehead suddenly and said, "Oh no!"

That's right, Xue Guoguan finally realized the beginning of his mistake.

Then, Xue Guoguan sighed again: "I'm done!"

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao ordered Wang Chengen: "Let your people spread the news that Xue Guoguan and Shen Weibing were sent to the imperial prison!"

"yes!"

Wang Chengen replied.

...

The news that Chen Weibing and Xue Guoguan were imprisoned quickly spread.

The civil officials who sympathized with Chen Weibing and Xue Guoguan did not disappoint Zhu Youxiao. The memorials he spoke for him flew into the Forbidden City like snowflakes fluttering outside the court.

"Li Guopu, a Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, said: Chen Weibing only knows about the military affairs of Miao affairs, and indeed does not have much attainment in the classics. Xue Guoguan advised him that he was not suitable to be a Confucian envoy and general inspector Har of public opinion. Even if he had inappropriate words, he was not within the scope of forming cliques and private interests. He was not suitable to issue an edict to punish him, and therefore he was abolished."

"The Grand Secretary of Wuying Palace Wang said in the Jin Dynasty: Although Chen Weibing, Xue Guoguan and others have the wishes of his Majesty and have a greedy love for life, it is also a common human nature. In addition, Chen Weibing is indeed eloquent and capable of governing borders. It is indeed inappropriate to make him go to the border outside the pass. Although Xue Guoguan's words did not hit the point, they were reasonable and put him in prison, which would cause the court to fluctuate. If Your Majesty does not like his character, it would be better to let him retire, and not blame him for his own anger!"

"The Zuodu Censor Min Hongxue Shang said: Chen Weibing and Xue Guoguan have always been honest and loyal ministers. They dare not form cliques, but for fear of other injustice, so they asked His Majesty to let him go back to the house to defend himself first, instead of believing rumors and suddenly being imprisoned. Isn't this the world thinks that Your Majesty is unknown?"

"The Minister of Justice Liu Zongzhou said: Chen Weibing and Xue Guoguan are suspected of forming cliques and making personal gains, so they should be investigated by the Censorate and the Dongchang, rather than being imprisoned immediately. Now, directly imprisoned like this is likely to be suspected of unjust cases! Besides, except for Liaodong, they are all wilderness and uncultivated places, without cultural context, without civilization, and the weather is cold and cold. Even if you have to send military officials to guard it, what is the point of sending civil officials and scholars?"

"The Dali Temple Minister Zhang Jie said: Chen Weibing and Xue Guoguan have never been together. Now Xue Guoguan is just out of public intention and does not form a party, so he asks His Majesty to investigate again with an upright minister."

...

Zhu Youxiao put his hand on the charcoal furnace and listened carefully to the contents of the memorials that Chen Weibing and Xue Guoguan asked for mercy.

Zhu Youxiao was not furious this time, but just raised his lips slightly and said, "One of these people, who were all demoted to the public under the name of forming a clique, were demoted to the government outside the pass, the Grand Secretary was demoted to the governor, the Minister of the Shangshu was demoted to the prefect, and the rest were demoted to the county magistrate."

"Your Majesty, the king is in Jin and Li Guopu to the end."

Yuan Keli couldn't help but want to plead for these two people, because Wang Zaijin had military achievements and good governance skills. Li Guopu's governmental skills were also relatively strong. Although his political philosophy was more conservative, it did not mean that he had no contribution to the court, and he was considered a capable minister.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "No need to say it! If you don't let them go outside the pass to reclaim wasteland and relieve the people, would you let me directly sign them as kings and break up the territory? Removal of the title of kings in Jin! When he achieves political achievements in the future, he will return them to him."

Yuan Keli now understood His Majesty’s thoughts and said to himself: “It turns out that His Majesty is going to demote all the ministers who are disagreeable with his political views to the outside world to take this opportunity to demote them to the outside world.”

So, Yuan Keli did not persuade him anymore and asked, "Then Chen Weibing and Xue Guoguan?"

"I will be exempted from his death penalty and exiled to Tahawei as a teacher. All the clans were exiled. Aren't there 300 battalions of soldiers stationed there? People are still needed. They just move these two clans to allow a large number of Han people to appear in the future!"

Zhu Youxiao said.

When Yuan Keli first heard His Majesty the Emperor say "to avoid his death penalty", he thought that Emperor Zhu Youxiao had been so kind for the first time, but he did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor wanted to exile him, and the entire clan was exiled.

"This is undoubtedly even more cruel! From now on, the Xue tribe will have to take root in the bitter and cold place outside the frontier. In that case, there will be no comfort in the pass."

In a teahouse, Wu Weiye said to Zhao Jinmei, who said that Emperor Zhu Youxiao did not kill civil officials casually after reading the newspaper again.

Zhao Jinmei replied: "That's right! This tyrant has indeed made ulterior motives! Although he did this to help these places be under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty for a long time, it was undoubtedly a very painful history for these clans, just like Taizu of the early country moved wealthy families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang to Fengyang."

Just as Zhao Jinmei spoke, a team of Dongchang players suddenly broke in and asked the people in the teahouse: "Who is Zhao Jinmei and Wu Weiye?"

Zhao Jinmei and Wu Weiye both lowered their heads and did not dare to stand up and admit it.

But at this time, Tang Aiming, a student of the Royal Academy who had a dispute with Zhao Jinmei and Wu Weiye, suddenly came over and pointed at Wu Weiye. Zhao Jinmei said, "They are the two!"

As he said that, Tang Aiming looked at the two and said, "You have the courage to humiliate us as a prisoner and ridicule the government, why don't you stand up?"

Zhao Jinmei didn't expect that it was Tang Aiming who went to the East Factory to file a lawsuit.

He had previously lost his composure because he learned that Chen Weibing and Xue Guoguan issued an edict to prison, and he cursed loudly: "Tyrant, this is another big prison, which will make the whole world panic!"

As a result, Tang Aiming, who happened to be by the side, listened to him and started arguing with him.

Seeing this now, Zhao Jinmei also stood up and said, "Why don't you have the courage? Yes, I am Zhao Jinmei. You people from the Royal Academy were indeed trained by eunuchs at the beginning, otherwise you would not have actively gone to the East Factory to complain. Why don't you castrate yourself and go directly to the inner court to be your father-in-law! Just slander me directly in front of His Majesty!"

Seeing this, Wu Weiye became secretly scared. He was eager to escape and couldn't help but say, "The man is here just now. He is Zhao Jinmei, the Imperial College Prison. This guy did say some inappropriate words just now, and I was also trying to persuade him to report it. I didn't expect you to come."

Zhao Jinmei turned her head in shock and looked at Wu Weiye.

Wu Weiye didn't dare to look at him.
