Chapter 248: The Scandal Blows Up (Part II)
In today's situation where the power of foreign officials is raging and the Son of Heaven intends to reduce the power of the cabinet, if the cabinet cannot maintain unity, it will be even more difficult. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Therefore, Shen Shoufu saw that Wang Xijue's face was ugly, so he took the initiative to say to Wang Xijue: "You should relax first, I believe that you are not a person who cheats for personal gain." Now it's time for us to discuss what went wrong, and then think about how to solve it. ”
Pavilion elder Wang Jiaping spoke: "It is rumored that the top few Jinshi are not as good as the last place in Guozijian, in my opinion, this is not a mistake in the admission of this branch of Chunfu, or a mistake in the Guozijian exam, it is always these two places." ”
Shen Shoufu said very resolutely: "Of course, there is no problem with the admission of this branch of the Spring Festival!"
If there is a mistake in such a sensitive link as admitting Jinshi, the consequences will be too serious to be admitted. Not to mention that Wang Xijue, the chief examiner, was originally step-by-step, and there was nothing out of the ordinary, at most occasionally mixed with a few favors.
Shen Shoufu only said this sentence and did not continue, but everyone already understood what he meant.
Since there is no problem with the admission of Jinshi, it is the Guozijian link that goes wrong. Guozijian's mistake is probably to list Fan Hongdao as the penultimate and then disturb people's restlessness. In other words, if Fan Hongdao wasn't such a glaring penultimate leader, there wouldn't be so much to do!
Everyone also knew that Guozi Priest Jiu Luo Wanhua was Wang Xijue's cronies, so Shen Shixing took care of Wang Xijue's face, so he didn't continue. As for the following words, I can only let Wang Xijue say it himself, if Wang Xijue can't figure it out by himself, then he is the unlucky one.
Wang Xijue sighed, arched his hand to Shen Shoufu and said: "This matter involves me, so I should avoid suspicion, and ask Yuanfu to write a ticket!"
At present, the processing procedure of the central government of the Ming Dynasty is like this, the local and foreign dynasties are sent to the palace, and the cabinet first puts forward the handling opinions called the vote, and then the performance is sent to the celebrant supervisor, and the celebrant approves the red, and then the handling opinions can be sent to the foreign court as a holy decree.
For more important and sensitive affairs, the celebrant and eunuch will report to the Son of Heaven for instructions, or the Son of Heaven will directly review and approve it according to the opinion of the Son of Heaven.
Today, the Ministry of Rites sent this letter to the celebrant after the cabinet vote was drafted, and the eunuchs of the ceremonial supervisor saw that this matter involved the old king of the cabinet, so they did not focus on themselves, and sent it to the inner palace to ask the Son of Heaven to take a look.
This kind of twist and turn involving the minister's accident must be known to the Son of Heaven, and if the Son of Heaven just wants to beat or punish the minister, it is equivalent to helping to hand over the knife. If the Son of Heaven had no other thoughts, it would have happened.
At this time, although the Son of Wanli has begun to slack, he has not been lazy enough to ignore everything. The recital sent by the celebrant and the secret recital of the Minister of Internal and Foreign Affairs will still be seen in person.
"Fan Hongdao?" The name appeared directly in front of the Son of Heaven for the first time, and the Son of Heaven said to himself: "It's a little familiar, I seem to have heard of it?"
The one who sent the eunuch Tian Yi to the hall was the eunuch Tian Yi, who bowed down and replied: "It is the person who debated with Wang Shizhen a while ago. ”
Wanli Tianzi suddenly, no wonder he has a little impression of this name. At that time, the court meeting was too funny, the ministers on both sides took Wang Shizhen's position as an introduction, intrigued and calculated each other, but in the end, there was a bad news that "Wang Shizhen was angry to death by Fan Moumou", and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty worked hard all with bamboo baskets to draw water.
In Guozijian, after the hustle and bustle of the day, Jin Wuxi fell, and Fan Hongdao dragged a long figure out of Jixian Gate. The attendant You Ying was guarding the side of the street, and when he saw Fan Hongdao coming out of the Guozijian, he stepped forward to greet him with an arrow, and said in a low voice: "According to the instructions of the gentleman, everything is all right!" They did go to the Ministry of Rites, and they heard that the Ministry of Rites wrote a note and sent it to the palace. ”
Fan Hongdao nodded and said, "Okay!"
The Gongyuan for the imperial examination is located in the southeast corner of the inner city of Jingshi, not far from the Chongwen Gate. If you are in a hurry to take the exam, you will live near Chongwenmen, and the area around Chongwenmenwai Street, which is bustling with shops, has naturally become a place for many scholars to rent.
This area is Fan Hongdao's base, although the people are no longer here, but the incense is still there. So Fan Hongdao sent You Ying back to Chongwenmenwai Street, and found a lot of familiar merchants to help him spread the news of injustice.
Luo Di Juzi was resentful, and of course the news of this kind of injustice spread quickly. And Fan Hongdao also entrusted a familiar merchant to buy a few cash-strapped movers to help encourage other people to go to the Ministry of Rites to make trouble.
But all the students who come all the way from their hometown to take the exam but fail to do so must be holding back their grievances, and of course they can't ask for an opportunity to vent, let alone such a reasonable excuse to make trouble. Among the thousands of people, there are always dozens or hundreds of people who dare to make trouble.
Fan Hongdao sneered a few times, since Luo Xianjiu, Qin Jiancheng and others didn't care about creating a scandal and wanted to use this scandal to discredit themselves, then help them ferment and expand the scandal and completely explode it.
Also in the evening, Shen Shoufu returned home from the palace and immediately recruited his son Shen Yongmao home from Nancheng.
At this time, after Shen Dagongzi took office as the head of the Nancheng Branch of Daxing County, he basically lived in the official office. But this time, his father summoned him, and the eldest son of Shen had to rush into the city and return to the Shen Mansion.
When Shen Shoufu saw his son, he asked: "I told you to make a good new science and technology jinshi and secretly observe the talents among them, how are you doing?"
Shen Yongmao's new stall has just opened, so how can there be too much energy to focus on this. replied: "The Wang family has already begun to gather the morale, and the champions, Bangyan, Chuanyu and others are all good friends with Wang Heng.
My son's reputation is definitely not as good, and I can't find so many people with enough weight, so I can't compare with the Wang family. Not to mention that Wang Ge is always the chief examiner, and the new science and technology jinshi are theoretically his protégés, so they naturally have a sense of intimacy with the Wang family. ”
These are all expected, Shen Shoufu did not scold his son for inaction, but said: "Don't worry about not finding so many people, it is enough to have one Fan Hongdao, and the momentum will definitely not be weaker than others." ”
Shen Yongmao was a little stunned, "Fan Hongdao, he is just a prisoner, can he do it?" How could my father think that Fan Hongdao is more important than a new science and technology scholar. ”
Shen Shixing did not leak the content of the recital, which is the most basic personal cultivation of a Zaifu. He replied, "It will definitely work now, as long as you win him over." ”
The always obedient Shen Dagongzi was about to cry, and when he heard his father's meaning, he wanted to let himself win over Fan Hongdao? But he had just rejected Fan Hongdao's request for a long time!
It's better to spare him, he would rather copy the scriptures a hundred times than beg Fan Hongdao capriciously, it is really painful to have a politician father.
