Chapter 260: Hu Zongxian resigns from the second office

This was a bit of a surprise, and everyone was stunned. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Jiajing had read the history of the Ming Dynasty, and he knew that Hu Zongxian would not resign at this time. The Japanese are not yet peaceful? Hu Zongxian resigned, what should Zhejiang do?

Jiajing looked forward to Hu Zongxian for a while, and did not ask Lu Fang to pick up the resignation, but turned to King Yu first: "Did you hear it, Hu Zongxian is excusing Tan Lun." Get up. ”

"Yes." Yuwang stood up, bowed his head and sat down again.

Jiajingcai looked at Hu Zongxian again, and his tone gradually became stern: "Is it really like what you said, the subordinate officials are so corrupt that the officials dare to destroy the embankment and flood the fields, let alone punish you for the crime of ignorance, and the dismissal will be over?" ”

Hu Zongxian: "Thunder and rain are not heaven's grace!" The ministers obey the emperor's orders. ”

Jiajing: "Let me ask you again, how come you, the governor of Zhejiang, can't even control a prefect of Hangzhou, let alone put you in the air according to the inspectors, they want to destroy the weirs of nine counties, and you didn't notice it beforehand?" ”

Yan Song, King Yu, and Lu Fang were all really nervous at this time, and their eyes all looked at Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian: "The minister also inspected Hangzhou Mansion, and failed to discover hidden dangers in time, which is the crime of negligence of the minister." ”

Jiajing: "Is it just an oversight?" ”

All eyes were nervously staring at Hu Zongxian again.

Hu Zongxian didn't say anything, Ma Ningyuan was hidden by Tan Kexue, and Chang Boxi and Zhang Zhiliang were escorted into Beijing by Jinyiwei. He Maocai and Zheng Michang resisted arrest on the night of Jinyiwei's cleaning and were beheaded on the spot, he really has nothing to say.

Jiajing: "Hu Zongxian, are you negligent, I have here the confessions of Ma Ningyuan, the head of the Xin'an River, and Chang Boxi, Zhang Zhiliang, the co-organizers, take a look!" As he spoke, he took out a confession from the dragon robe!

Everyone was stunned!

The air in the main hall of Yuxi Palace seemed to freeze all of a sudden!

Jiajing looked back at Lu Fang, and Lu Fang also looked at him, so he had to walk over, take the confession, and hand it to Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian slowly unfolded his confession, and his two eyes began to look at it coldly.

Yan Song sat there, his eyes had been closed at this time, but he could see that his head and face were already trembling slightly.

At this time, King Yu tried his best to balance his mind, looking at the ground with his eyes, trying not to show any expression.

The expression on Hu Zongxian's face began to change, first he was a little surprised, and then he showed a state of contemplation while watching, and by the time he finished reading, his face had completely calmed down.

I see, so it is! The questions in Hu Zongxian's heart were completely strung together, and he already knew all the answers!

"I've finished reading it!" Hu Zongxian replied.

After speaking, Lu Fang took the confession and handed it back to Jiajing.

"Yan Ge Lao." Jiajing shook the confession in his hand and suddenly called Yan Song.

Yan Song still sat there with his eyes closed, but he didn't hear this call.

The look on Jiajing's face was very complicated, there was a trace of compassion, and there was something else, Yan Song couldn't fall now. Jiajing stopped calling Yan Song, turned his head and asked Lu Fang, "Do you know what is written in this confession?" ”

Lu Fang: "The slave doesn't know. ”

Lu Fang no longer has any careful thoughts, his only thought now is to follow the emperor closely, even if he can't win the emperor's trust like Feng Bao, he can't give the emperor an excuse to get rid of himself.

Jiajing: "Let me tell you, it is the detailed inside story of this plan to destroy the embankment and flood the fields." ”

Jiajing looked at Lu Fang and handed over the confession: "You take it over and show it to Elder Yan Ge." ”

"Yes." Lu Fang took the confession and walked over to Yan Song.

Jiajing's gaze casually glanced at King Yu, but King Yu sat there very quietly as if nothing had ever happened.

Jiajing smiled coldly in his heart, his son was a little impatient. It's still a little tender!

Jiajing withdrew his gaze and turned to look at Yan Song again.

"Elder Ge." Lu Fang had already walked to Yan Song's side at this time and called softly.

"Hmm." Yan Song opened his eyes and looked at Lu Fang blankly.

Lu Fang: "The emperor asked you to take a look at this confession." ”

Yan Song's eyes darkened.

Yan Song took the confession, turned the first page tremblingly, looked at it, and then raised his head: "Your Majesty, the words are too small, and the ministers are too old to see clearly." ”

Yan Song was relieved, he glanced at it casually, and knew that all the blame was mainly on Yang Jinshui. According to the confession, it was Yang Jinshui who dragged other officials into the water in order to create the task of the Weaving Bureau, trying to do such a horrific thing as destroying the embankment and flooding the fields.

The emperor doesn't want to kill himself now! Yan Song came to this conclusion.

Jiajing: "Take this confession back and show it to everyone in the cabinet." ”

Yan Song: "Yes." ”

Jiajing: "There is another thing, that is, Hu Zongxian's resignation, and he himself asked the court to open his vacancy. Ge Lao, do you think you should be allowed to do as invited? ”

Yan Song didn't reply immediately this time, and was silent for a moment before replying: "The grace of dethronement comes from above, and non-ministers can put their beaks in their mouths." ”

Jiajing's face immediately showed unhappiness: "You don't mean what you say. ”

Yan Song immediately stood up with the dwarf pier.

Jiajing: "Hu Zongxian was the secretary of the military department, and later the governor of Zhejiang and the governor of Zhejiang were all recommended by you to me." When is it up to me to employ people? ”

Yan Song was stunned by Jiajing's words.

Hu Zongxian raised his head at this time: "At that time, the cabinet elders recommended ministers, and the emperor reused ministers, all hoping that the ministers could live up to their grace and reassure the people. Now the ministers are in Zhejiang, which is obviously not in line with the responsibility of the feudal territory. I implore the emperor to remove him from his post. ”

Jiajing looked at him deeply: "Are you trying to pick a pick?!" ”

Hu Zongxian immediately lowered his head: "The minister doesn't dare." ”

Jiajing: "If you dare or not, I won't let you pick a pick." There are two things I still know about you, one is to understand the overall situation, and the other is to be willing to work hard. Zhejiang and Nanzhili are the important tax places of the imperial court, and there are so many Japanese robbers there, and no one can stop without you at the moment. Yan Ge Lao. ”

Yan Song: "The minister is here." ”

Jiajing: "What do you think?" ”

Yan Song: "Shengming is no more than the emperor." At present, Zhezhi is indeed indispensable to Hu Zongxian. But his burden was indeed too heavy. Since the emperor asked the minister, the minister thought that he should resign from the part-time position of the governor of Zhejiang and only serve as the governor of Zhejiang. In this way, he can not only grasp the overall situation, but also be able to devote more of his mind to suppressing the widows. At present, Zhejiang's officialdom is in chaos, and everyone in the official situation is in danger. Hu Zongxian wants to stabilize the overall situation in Zhejiang as soon as possible, and he must be responsible for this matter. ”

Jiajing: "This is the words of Lao Chengmouguo." As for the affairs of Zhejiang officialdom, after you go down, ask Hu Zongxian and the cabinet to discuss a good method together. I have only one request, Zhejiang must not be chaotic! ”

Yan Song: "Yes." ”

Jiajing looked at Hu Zongxian again: "Hu Zongxian, have you heard?" ”

When Hu Zongxian raised his head, he was already in tears: "Back to the emperor, the ministers obey the order......"

"Ugh." Jiajing sighed and stood up, "I know that it is difficult for you, and it is difficult for me to do so. But the harder it is, the more you can't back down! The food and clothing above are worry-free, and they are the most laborious, but what should the people below do? With whom do they complain of their suffering? ”

King Yu and Yan Song both knelt down at this time: "Dedication to the king's affairs is the duty of a minister." ”
