Emperor Taikang's movements were very fast.

On the third day after Li Xin became a disciple, the Censorate of the Censorate wrote a letter to sue Ji Mingfang, the right governor of the Grand Governor's Office, to accept bribes, rob people's land, run rampant in the village, commit crimes, etc.

These things are not fabricated out of thin air.

In fact, these sins are really normal for the royal family in the capital. Not to mention military tycoons like Ji Mingfang, even a royal family in the capital whose main lineage is far away and whose title has long been gone can be rampant in the capital. Generally, no one dares to arrest them because of this surname.

In comparison, although Ji Mingfang's title was reduced to three generations, there was also a title of Duke of Lu. He also served in the Grand Governor's Office, with a high position and a powerful position, and was quite capable in doing things. For this Duke of Lu, he had only done such a little evil, and he was already a good man in the royal family.

Originally, no one took this memorial seriously until Emperor Taikang approved the memorial, demanding that the officials and the officials investigated it strictly and ordered Jingzhao Prefecture to cooperate.

The emperor leaked his mouth, and the people below naturally knew what to do. In less than three days, Ji Mingfang's evidence of guilt was verified, and together with the evidence provided by Jingzhao Mansion, they were sent to the emperor's desk.

The emperor was furious and immediately summoned Ji Mingfang into the palace.

In Weiyang Palace, Ji Mingfang knelt respectfully on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Taikang: "My minister Ji Mingfang, kowtow to Your Majesty."

Emperor Taikang said lukewarmly: "Get up and talk."

Ji Mingfang stood up slowly and lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

The emperor waved his hand, and the eunuch Xiao Zheng, who was attending the side, immediately placed a stack of documents in front of Ji Ming.

The young emperor said calmly: "Uncle Clan, this is your memorial to the Censorate, and there are also evidence of the crime found in the yamen. If you take a look, what are the mistakes or omissions?"

Ji Mingfang took the documents with both hands, opened them one by one, and carefully looked up at Emperor Taikang, and then said, "Your Majesty, I have read it, there are no mistakes."

The emperor said in surprise: "What uncle in the clan means is that you have admitted all these sins?"

Ji Mingfang knelt down respectfully.

"I confessed my guilt."

The right governor of the Grand Governor's Office has been hanging with the imperial guards since he was young, and later, with his clan status, he successfully entered the Grand Governor's Office in Chengde.

But it is impossible for him to work in the Grand Governor's Office for so many years, and it is impossible for him to rely solely on his identity as a royal family. The Ji family has been established for more than a hundred years, and there are tens of thousands of royal families in the capital. Among so many royal families, it is not unreasonable that Ji Mingfang can stand out and become a military boss.

At least, he is very cognitive.

The emperor was silent.

If Ji Mingfang refuses to plead guilty, it will be easy to deal with it. He will directly remove his position as the right governor. If his attitude is bad, he can even take the title of Duke of Lu. But now, this guy has a very good attitude, but it is difficult to deal with it.

Emperor Taikang sighed, walked to the imperial stairs, reached out to help the Duke of Lu up, and whispered: "Uncle, we are a family. As the head of the family, I should have protected my own family, but now things are getting worse. All the civil and military officials in the court and the capital have known about this matter, so I can't help but deal with it."

Ji Mingfang's attitude was very straightforward.

"No matter what punishment your Majesty punishes, I will be willing to admit my guilt."

The emperor nodded: "So, the clan uncle has temporarily quit his duties as the Grand Chief Office and rests at home for a while. This will help to calm the public's anger, okay?"

Ji Mingfang was shocked.

He originally thought that such a small matter would be fined at most one or two years of salary and could get through it if he lost a little face, but he didn't expect to lose his official position directly.

His title hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath, lowered his head and said, "My dear, follow the instructions of Your Majesty."

Emperor Taikang sighed slightly.

"Don't worry, the clan uncle has passed, and I will use you to go somewhere else after a while."

"I thank you for your kindness."

The conversation between the Ji family ended here. In general, the process was quite harmonious. After all, Ji Ming's position as a party, but he just changed from a high-ranking military boss to a casual master.

The emperor was very efficient. The day after Ji Mingfang was dismissed from office, the imperial edict that Pei Jin was promoted to the right governor of the Grand Governor's Office was sent to the Shangshutai.

Generally speaking, all matters in the court, including imperial edicts, must be passed through the Shangshutai before they can truly become imperial edicts. However, all political affairs and political affairs halls can be rejected, but the appointment of the Shangshutai in the Grand Governor's Office will generally not be rejected.

The Grand Governor's Office is the highest yamen of the Great Jin army. Generally speaking, the appointment of the Grand Governor's Office is decided by the emperor alone. Of course, the imperial edict must be passed, but none of the three provinces will stop such imperial edicts.

Besides, there is no problem with this imperial edict.

Zhang Qu from the Shangshu Detachment looked serious after receiving this imperial edict. He first called several prime ministers together for a while, and then went into Weiyang Palace with the imperial edict alone.

Xiao Zheng, the eunuch of Weiyang Palace, immediately came out to greet him: "Zhang Xiang."

Zhang Qu nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Eunuch Xiao, I have discussed this imperial edict from Your Majesty with several ministers from the three provinces. I unanimously thought it was a bit inappropriate, so I came to ask for your Majesty."

Xiao Zheng smiled and said, "After a while, Your Majesty is summoning the minister."

Zhang Qu frowned and asked, "Who are you summoned?"

"Li Xin, Minister of War."

The Haoran Gong nodded slowly and sat down quietly to wait.

Zhang Qu did not have much interaction with Li Xin, and the two of them had not even said a few words. In Zhang Xiang's eyes, Li Xin was just a somewhat mysterious young man.

After about half a stick of incense was sealed, Li Xin walked out of the inner hall.

Zhang Qu stood up silently and prepared to walk in.

Mr. Li smiled brightly and bowed to Zhang Qu, "Haoran Gong."

Zhang Qu had no choice but to stop and return the greeting: "Mr. Li is polite."

Li Xin smiled and looked at the imperial edict in Zhang Qu's hand, and smiled and said, "Is Haoran Gong rejecting the imperial edict?"

Zhang Qu hesitated for a moment, feeling that there was nothing to hide, so he nodded and said, "It's not a rejection, but some parts of the imperial edict are not suitable, so he came to discuss with His Majesty."

Li Xin still smiled.

"Is it because of the position of the governor of the Grand Governor's Office that no nobles are allowed to serve as the position of the Grand Governor's Office?"

Zhang Qu's eyes were solemn, and he looked up at Li Xin.

"How did Mr. Li know that this imperial edict has not been issued yet?"

"Your Majesty has discussed this matter with the Supreme Court."

The smile on Li Xin's face calmed down and became solemn.

"Haoran Gong, the emperor has always respected you very much on weekdays, and so is Your Majesty. However, at this pass, Your Majesty has something to do, so please relax Haoran Gong."

Zhang Qu frowned slightly.

"What's the big deal?"

In his opinion, what major events were in the court should be discussed by the prime ministers of the three provinces with the emperor, rather than the decisions made by close ministers like Li Xin and His Majesty without authorization.

Li Xin sighed, and then slowly said, "Forget it, Zhang Xiang can't listen to the words of a young man like Xiaguan, so go and look for His Majesty."

Mr. Li's voice is sincere.

"Haoran Gong remembers that Your Majesty is very anxious now. Don't annoy him."

After Li Xin finished speaking, he stepped away.
