"Sir, the current dissatisfaction with Shuntian Mansion is all because of two 'inexplicable' bandits!"

Chen Zhao deliberately emphasized the tone on the word "inexplicable". An old official institution like Zhang Qingbo could naturally hear the comforting post in his heart, so he didn't show any face to Chen Zhao, the "culprit".

"After all, we are not military officers and cannot participate in the later bandit suppression. But Shuntian Mansion can also launch a large-scale cleanup operation to let Your Majesty and the court see that we are not having a good meal!"

Zhang Qingbo just thought for a moment and agreed to Chen Zhao's suggestion.

He had to agree.

It can also be said to be following the flow.

Because at this moment, the pressure on him was too great.

Although Zhu Qizhen is a fool, he will be furious for his throne to sit firmly, not to mention that the officials in the court want to make contributions and promote their own people, so naturally he dislikes Zhang Qingbo.

Therefore, Zhang Qingbo knew in his heart that Shuntian Mansion could not lose its chain at such a critical moment, and he had to make the right attitude, otherwise his situation would be even more embarrassing.

"Since you asked this, Chen Fucheng is fully responsible!"

But he was not stupid either. Such things could easily offend the powerful people in Kyoto. Since Chen Zhao made suggestions, he was naturally happy to go with the flow and throw the burden out.

Who told you to be the Chief of Shuntian Prefecture!

"Don't worry, Lord Gong, the subordinate will fulfill his mission!"

Chen Zhao didn't care about Zhang Qingbo's little plot. It's true that there are many powerful people in Kyoto. If you accidentally offend any powerful family, Shuntian Mansion is a very embarrassing yamen, and you may encounter great obstacles to doing things.

But this is just like this, the Shuntian Prefecture Priest who is not willing to take responsibility, but Chen Zhao is not afraid of trouble, not to mention that he is very willing to trouble.

So he would choose to come to Shuntian Mansion, because so far, Shuntian Mansion is the best place to display his talents.

However, before this, I have to report to Zhu Qizhen. After receiving the emperor's clear promise, I will say that this will not only make a famous master, but even if I offend some kings or dukes, I can also blame the emperor.

As the emperor! He has always been the biggest scapegoat.

Just by killing Yu Qian, he could throw all the dirty water on him.

He asked several staff members around him to write the memorial according to his own wishes, and at the same time asked Zhang Qingbo to stamp the seal of the prefectural prefect. Then, in the name of Shuntian Prefecture, he sent the memorial from the Tongzhengsi to Zhu Qizhen's desk in the name of Shuntian Prefecture.

allow!

The true emperor is of course decisive.

Especially when it comes to whether the dragon throne is stable or not.

He could make the thieves disappear for the sake of the court. But he would definitely not allow the capital to be unstable and the palace to be unstable.

So he approved it very readily.

He was quite satisfied with the attitude that Shuntian Mansion wanted to show his feelings. He was indeed a little disappointed with Zhang Qingbo before, but now that Shuntian Mansion has taken action, he will still support him. He also wanted to see what kind of monsters and monsters are there in places he can't see.

The two incidents of bandits have made Zhu Qizhen feel very alert. The strength of these bandits is too strong, especially the bandits in Changyunshan who can actually block the attack of officers and soldiers. I feel frightened to think about it. If these bandits enter the capital without knowing it, wouldn’t there be a second “snatching the gate”?

If a person falls from the throne twice, he will definitely become a laughing stock in history.

In fact, it is not a question that Zhu Qizhen is suspicious. An emperor whose reign title has changed from "orthodox" to "Tianshun" will definitely not let go of his mind that "there are always troublemakers who want to harm me". He will always contact his own safety as soon as there is a turmoil.

Moreover, the two bandit forces were strange, which made Zhu Qizhen feel that he would not dare to investigate openly, so he secretly decided that even a group of monsters and monsters in the capital could not be let go. No one knew if there would be any powerful organization or force lurking in the capital, making plans to kill dragons and lords?

Unexpectedly, Shuntian Mansion was so sensible that he took the initiative to demand a "critical crackdown" without secretly pointing it out. Zhu Qizhen was quite satisfied with this.

However, when he turned around, Zhu Qizhen was a little confused. He knew what kind of personality Zhang Qingbo, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, had a serious lack of ambition. To put it nicely, it was called calm and cautious, but to put it badly, it was called a dog that guards the household, which only had the ability to guard the family but had no pioneering spirit.

To put it more ugly, he is just an old man in the officialdom.

Although carrying out a "severe crackdown" in the capital was inconsistent with the emperor's intention, Zhu Qizhen understood very well that Zhang Qingbo did not have such courage and responsibility.

Sure enough, the matter soon came to light. This "severe crackdown" memorial was completely the idea of ​​the newly appointed Shuntian Prefecture Chief Chen Zhao.

"Chen Zhao..."

When Zhu Qizhen heard the report, he remained silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "It turns out that he is a rising star and a promising minister! The younger generation is terrifying! The younger generation is terrifying!"

Whether it is a wise or a foolish monarch, they will like officials who are brave enough to do practical things, especially this official is still relatively young.

"Long live the matter, the previous incident of pursuing the Feitian Thieves was actually General Jia!"

The eunuch general manager Wang An said again without any trouble.

As the superior after Cao Jixiang's fall, Wang An had a very clear vision. He knew that the emperor was very interested in this young official, so he spoke.

If the emperor promoted this person, Wang An would reveal to the person that it was his credit.

"Oh, I didn't expect this guy to have such skills?"

Zhu Qizhen became interested and asked carefully about the detailed process of chasing the flying thief.

What can be done?

It was nothing more than Chen Zhao's outstanding wisdom, how he locked in the flying thief, how he discovered the situation of the Bailong Mountain Village, and finally reported to Shuntian Mansion that the bandit suppression battle occurred.

Speaking of Bailong Mountain, his face darkened now, and most of his enthusiasm just now was extinguished.

This matter has been investigated quite clearly. The group of bandits were the force raised by a certain vassal king. As for why they were not placed in key areas such as Shuntian Prefecture, they are not clear about why.

But that vassal king was very powerful, and he could not be easily eliminated, not to mention that Zhu Qizhen's ambition was almost the same and did not deal with the other party's momentum.

When the Jinyi Guardian made this news, Zhu Qizhen was very angry. He did not expect that these vassal kings outside would be so arrogant under his nose. If as expected, they would have had a deep connection with the court officials.

So you can't rush everything.

But you have to beat the mountain and the tiger!

Because in her opinion, this was just the tip of the iceberg. I don’t know how many powerful forces there are in the secret, waiting for the opportunity in the secret.

That is why Zhu Qizhen felt that the capital was not as safe as he imagined. Various undercurrents were slowly surging and stirring under the cover of the peaceful situation. No one knew when a big explosion would suddenly occur.

In fact, this is normal. The change in the siege was to chase Xu Youzhen, imprison Shi Heng, and to follow the river to send Cao Shaoqin out of the palace and lure Cao Jixiang.

In the past few years, Zhu Qizhen has taken control of power, but his various means of not being able to get up to the top have made the capital of Ming Dynasty chaotic.

This situation made Zhu Qizhen quite worried, but he was old and had no decisiveness and ignorance of the fourteen years of orthodox work, and he did not want to cause great turmoil in the court again.

Of course, seek stability, but whoever thinks that the emperor is easy to provoke and is fooled by others, then Zhu Qizhen doesn't mind killing, so that some ambitious people can see his sharp means.

However, after all, his prestige has been greatly reduced. Most of the ministers Zhu Qizhen has gathered in the past two years are old-fashioned people, who only think about their own interests and are too cautious in their work. It is an advantage in normal times, but once it reaches a critical moment, this is a disadvantage that is quite unhappy today.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen decided to focus on those young officials in the future.

...

After obtaining the emperor's consent, Shuntian Prefecture suddenly started a "critical crackdown" operation in the capital without warning.

Chen Zhao personally took charge of the presidency and divided the entire capital into several areas, which were responsible for the prosecutors and judges below, and strictly dealt with all criminal acts in the area.

At the beginning, it naturally attracted a lot of opposition. Shuntian Mansion had never taken such an action. What if something went wrong?

"Your Majesty personally asked to do something well. If you don't want to do it well, find a relationship to be transferred as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences may be unbearable!"

Facing his old official gangs, Chen Zhao was not polite and threatened them with their official hats.

"Hmph, why are we so scared? Is there really a way to drive us down?"

Immediately, a tough backstage promoter jumped out, and several of them had a good relationship with him immediately agreed. Of course, most of them were still hesitant and were in a wait-and-see state.

"What do you think, sir?"

Chen Zhao did not rush to do it, but pushed the matter to Zhang Qingbo.

"This matter is fully responsible for Chen Fucheng, so I will not interfere!"

Zhang Qingbo is also a sloppy person and doesn't accept any advice.

Chen Zhao had known this before, so he took out a written impeachment memorial and asked Zhang Qingbo to stamp the seal of Shuntian Mansion. He was going to hand it directly to the imperial case.

"Chen Fucheng, you have to think twice before you act. That person is the disciple of Chengyang Hou. It would be no joke if he annoys Chengyang Hou!"

Zhang Qingbo's face was extremely ugly. Chen Zhao's behavior was to pull him into the water, but he had to bite the bullet and follow up. This "severe crackdown" was signed by His Majesty.

"Isn't the prefect the prefect not worried that they will pull their backs?"

Chen Zhao naturally didn't care much. Not to mention a mere marquis, even a few dukes took action, he wouldn't care. He just looked at whether it was necessary.

"All right!"

Zhang Qingbo had no choice but to stamp the impeachment memorial. He was really nervous. Maybe he would offend Chengyang Hou, which really made him feel unsure.

After all, the prefect of Shuntian is different from the censors of the Censorate and relies heavily on the support of the royal relatives.

If they make trouble, the Shuntian Prefecture Order would not be able to do it at all.

Chen Zhaocai didn't care about that much and directly handed the letter to Wang Anhai, the chief supervisor of the Inner Palace, and then Wang An immediately delivered it to the imperial case.

Since he had decided to support Chen Zhao's actions, Zhu Qizhen naturally would not give any support. He directly replaced all the officials who did not accept discipline according to the list in Chen Zhao's memorial and replaced them with all the supporting officials in Chen Zhao's office in the Ministry of Justice.

It is related to whether his dragon throne is stable or not. What is the mere Marquis of Chengyang? Even if the Duke of England and Duke of Cheng are there, he will not give face.

He had not dealt with the British Duke back then...

"Haha, I didn't expect that we could work together again so soon!"

Wu Fan, the newly appointed Shuntian Prefecture Promoter, bowed to Chen Zhao with excitement, and the former officials of the Ministry of Justice followed also bowed together, each with excited expressions and high fighting spirit.

"Okay, let's work together to create a world!"
