The officer shook his head: "The news from the palace is that the entire fleet sank and no one escaped."

Jiang Yi's figure swayed, with fear in his eyes, and he turned slowly to look at Qi Zhu next to him.

His lips moved slightly and he murmured in a low voice: "Why is this so? Why is he so cruel and ruthless?"

Qi Zhu whispered from the side: "Nan Kong was also escorted to the south at that time..."

Jiang Yi had fear in his eyes and nodded nervously: "They are all dead!"

Qi Zhu looked at the police officers outside the pavilion and waved his hand fiercely: "Everyone, please step back."

The officers hurriedly bowed down, carefully stepped back a few steps, and then dared to turn around and leave.

After the officers left, Qi Zhu finally said: "When Zhang Zhiyuan from Peiping surrounded the Confucius Mansion, we should have known that this would be the result. What a natural disaster and what an accident."

He sighed repeatedly and felt a little uneasy on his face.

Jiang Yi reached out and grabbed Qi Zhu's arm: "Now that the Kong family is gone, the trouble on Henan Road has probably been settled by the grandson. Let's wait and see. I wonder if those people will have to move forward during the court meeting in the next few days.

I’ve regained my former glory these days.”

Qi's face turned dark and he said in a deep voice: "Enter the city and go to the cabinet."

Jiang Yi's eyes flashed, and then he said slowly: "I will go with you."

…

cabinet.

Now another top position has been added.

After doubting himself for a long time, Zhai Shan, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, finally entered this place that represented the highest power of Ming Dynasty officialdom as a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Ren Hengtai was still sitting on the main seat representing the chief and assistant ministers. In front of him was a long desk filled with memorials and the Four Treasures of the Study.

Xie Jin, Xu Yungong, and Zhai Shan sat on the chairs on both sides of the desk in turn.

There are still three vacant seats.

Those belong to Gao Yangzhi, Lan Yu and Mu Ying.

Although the person is absent, his position in the cabinet must not be lost.

At this moment, the faces of the four people in the cabinet were all ugly.

The Kong family all sank to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish.

No matter what crimes the Kong family was deposed and exiled for in the past, the meaning this family has represented over the past thousand years cannot be changed in a short time.

Even today, following the urgent report from the south and the investigation report on the river accident, the four cabinet ministers in the cabinet could not calm down their anxiety.

"The imperial court just decided this year on a series of charges against Yan Shenggong. It is absolutely impossible to erase the charges at this time, let alone to pursue generous rewards. However, what will the people of the world say when the time comes? Will they say that the imperial court is ungrateful? Or maybe they will

Are you saying that His Majesty is not interested in enlightenment?"

Ren Hengtai looked a little tired, and his voice was also a little vicissitudes of life.

Faced with the urgent report back to Beijing from Cochin Road, the chief minister of the empire deeply felt that it was not easy to be in charge of the country's affairs.

As the latest minister to enter the cabinet, Zhai Shan looked around.

Not seeing Jin talking to Xu Yungong, he spoke in a low voice: "The most important thing is that we can't even find a body now. How about... in the name of the court, build a tomb for the Kong family on Jiaozhi Road?"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "In the name of Jiaozhi Road, the court will not interfere in this matter."

Jie Jin turned to look at Zhai Shan, who was sitting at his starting position.

Zhai Shan was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Ren Hengtai, who was above, also said: "According to what the great gentry said, the imperial court kept silent about this matter, and built a tomb on Jiaozhi Road in the name of Jiaozhi Road. It can be regarded as the court's benevolence and righteousness. Your Majesty's majesty, the court's dignity."

, we can’t make any mistakes because of this matter.”

Xu Yungong was sitting alone on the other side. Looking at the solemn faces of the three people, he couldn't help but smile: "It's just that some criminals died. Why are you so nervous and uneasy? Now that the matter in Henan Road has finally been found out,

His Royal Highness Taisun has also returned to the capital. Next, should the court start working on Shanxi Road?"

Ren Hengtai and the others couldn't help but look at Xu Yungong who looked relaxed.

Starting the Shanxi Road matter means that the cabinet will have to rely on the major governor's office to mobilize local troops for a long time to come, and it will also have to deal with the issue of food and grass for hundreds of thousands of border troops on the nine sides.

In the future, regarding the supply of grain and grass to the nine sides, where the power will be held will become an issue that needs to be fought for within the cabinet.

Xu Yungong seemed to have noticed the concerns of the three civil cabinet ministers, and chuckled: "Believe it or not, it will be lively outside soon. No matter what the court does, everyone in the Kong family will definitely die outside.

There will be constant discussions.

It would be better for the court to start dealing with the Shanxi Road affairs at this time, so that those outside can have less energy to discuss the matter of a bunch of dead people.

When the Kaizhong system is stopped and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the nine sides, I will have to ask the Ministry of Revenue."

Xu Yungong didn't care where the right to supply food and fodder for hundreds of thousands of soldiers on the nine sides was controlled.

He even hoped that this matter would not fall on the Governor's office.

The more you do, the more likely you will make mistakes.

It is reasonable to give it to the Ministry of Household Affairs. If the frontier soldiers are hungry at that time, the Governor-General only needs to come forward to support the soldiers and regain face in the court.

Seeing what Xu Yungong said, Ren Hengtai and the other three couldn't help but exchange looks.

Obviously, the Duke of Wei was trying to stir up another incident in the name of the court to gain attention from the fact that the whole Kong family was buried at the bottom of the sea.

After a long time, Ren Hengtai patted the desk and spoke.

"Just do it."
