Chapter 462: Raiding the House
It was only at this time that Wu Yong threw out enough heavy news to bring down Pang Taishi. No one knows about this except King Xian.
As soon as Emperor Zhengde heard the letter related to King Ning, he lowered his face, "Submit it!" ”
When he read all the letters, he was furious, "Pang Huan! The first emperor treated you well, and I thought I treated you well, not only let you be in a high position, but even your daughter was already a concubine. What else are you not satisfied with? Sure enough, I wondered how those rumors could have spread so strangely, hum! The third prince is a child who is less than seven years old, and he is so praised by you, so what about me? What am I? ”
As soon as Pang Huan heard that he had never been treated like this since Emperor Zhengde ascended the throne, he quickly knelt down on the ground and shouted wronged, "Your Majesty, the old minister is wronged, and the old minister's loyalty to His Majesty can be learned!" ”
"Heaven and earth can be learned!" Zhengde said word by word, raising his hand and throwing all the letters on the ground.
Pang Huan picked up these letters and looked at them, his face was bloodless all of a sudden, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is angry, this is not the handwriting of the old minister, Your Majesty!" Please check clearly, this is all done by the Li family. ”
At this moment, Wu Yong said again: "The minister still has this music!" ”
Emperor Zhengde rubbed his eyebrows and said unhappily: "Speak!" ”
Wu Yong said: "The minister found that there are two gold and silver mines in the name of Pang Taishi in the Li family, which have been mined for more than ten years. Ignorance....... ”
"Gold and silver mines! Pang Huan, you are so bold!! Emperor Zhengde gritted his teeth and said.
Private individuals are not allowed to mine gold, silver or iron ore, and often private ownership of these mines is linked to rebellion. From this, we can see how angry Emperor Zhengde was. He had just faced King Ning's rebellion with his front foot, and his back foot was put on the back foot by his old ministers. Will King Ning's matter be calmed down, and then Taishi Pang's rebellion will be appeased?
Pang Huan completely stopped cooking at this time, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty is angry." This mine is not for the minister, how can the minister know the law and break the law as a master! ”
Emperor Zhengde's defense against him in his heart rose to the highest, and he also knew that Pang Taishi's henchmen in the court were heavy, and they could not be uprooted overnight. glanced at the eldest prince who still had no change in face, and was very relieved, fortunately, the heavens opened his eyes and made his eldest prince return to normal!
He closed his eyes and calmed the anger in his heart. said: "The emperor thinks this matter is handled so well? ”
These words gave the Manchu civil and military a heavy signal, and some neutral courtiers wondered if there was a daughter of the right age in the family, and the eldest prince was about to reach the age of marriage.
Zhu Cong bowed and replied, "Return to my father." The child thinks that this matter is very important, so it is better to ask a few respected ministers to form an investigation team on this matter and work together to verify it. After all, Taishi Pang is my imperial master, and he is in a high position. If you don't check it well. It's too child's play, and it's not fair to the Taishi. ”
After saying this, Emperor Zhengde nodded again and again, "Okay!" As the emperor saw. ”
Emperor Zhengde rejoiced in his heart, and once again sighed that God had given him a good prince. But the shock of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to the eldest prince far exceeded their expectations, where is this stupid, even if he is not stupid since he was a child, it is unlikely that a thirteen-year-old child will say such a magnificent thing. For a while, it was hooked up with the "godsend".
And Pang Huan, who was kneeling on the side, wanted to cry without tears. In the end, he made a wedding dress for someone else!
He hated it, but to no avail. He has money. You can recruit troops, but you can't buy a regular army. Although Emperor Zhengde acted absurdly in every way, he firmly grasped the military power in his own hands.
To outsiders, it seemed to outsiders that there were his people in the military department, but no one knew better than him that these people were actually loyal only to the emperor. Now Pang Huan has truly realized the wisdom of Emperor Zhengde.
In this way, Emperor Zhengde ordered the chief and deputy commanders of Dali Siqing and Xianwang, Wu Yong and Jinyi Wei Yiwei, as well as the great eunuch Yu Zhong beside Emperor Zhengde to jointly try the case.
Its lineup can be described as ultra-luxurious, and on the same day, Pang Taishi was taken to Shuntian Mansion.
Because it was the evidence found by Yin Wuyong of Shuntian Mansion, the trial yamen was set up in Shuntian Mansion. As for how the trial was carried out, although it was not enough to explain it to outsiders, everyone knew that the emperor had the idea of moving Taishi Pang.
But Taishi Pang is a Taishi after all, and the hundred-legged insect is still dead and not stiff, let alone him? He was also decisive enough to push all the crimes on the Li family and on King Ning, who had already rebelled.
However, when the verdict was made, he was punished.
One is that the management of subordinates is not very good, and the other is that they do not know people clearly, and they are fined 100,000 taels of silver. After that, it was inconvenient to go up and down the court when he was old, so the emperor exempted him from the daily morning court for the sake of the concubine.
The Ming Dynasty did not have a prime minister, and the rights were divided into six ministries, but the emperor couldn't handle so many things, so he set up a first assistant, in fact, just like the prime minister. However, with Master Pang, that Shoufu has almost become a fiction.
Now although Pang Taishi is still holding the title of Taishi, Zhengde has deprived him of his rights at once, giving half to Shoufu and half to Liubu Shangshu, and this court machine is still running. Moreover, the courtiers who got the benefits did not beat the water dogs to Master Pang.
After the matter gradually subsided, Emperor Zhengde became more and more aware of the importance of what his mother had told him, so he took Zhu Cong to Ningshou Palace often.
Today's Zhu Cong is no longer a stupid prince, he has the most elite guards around him, the most loyal eunuchs to serve, and he also invited the dean of Qiankun Academy to be the emperor's teacher, and he is moving in the direction of the crown prince.
Here it is necessary to mention Lin De, the dean of Qiankun Academy, who is the cousin of the Empress Dowager Zhang, and the person he admires most since he was a child is the cousin of the Empress Dowager Zhang.
It is a foregone conclusion that Zhu Cong will be established as the crown prince. After Wu Yong and a group of ministers on jury ordered the Li family to be confiscated for treason, he began his tour of the governor with a group of officials, and everywhere he went was the place where the rumors were heaviest.
And Nie Shuyao, who single-handedly contributed to this initiative, had a lot of fun with Zhu Xian and them, she became the king of children, either telling stories to this or drawing cartoons for that, and the turmoil in the court did not affect her at all.
In the evening of that day, when the group came out of the detective agency and were on the road in a carriage, there was a bustling shouting and crying.
Wu Niang parked the carriage on the side of the road like other passing cars, and said, "There are a group of prisoners parading the street ahead, let's wait here for a while." ”
"Hmm." Nie Shuyao replied softly, lifted the curtain and saw that a team of prisoners were tied up with ropes and pulled together by the soldiers.
She recognized the person in front of her head as Li Wang, the head of the Li family. He can have today's end Nie Shuyao had expected it, and it was not strange to see it today, greed always has to pay a price!
But after Zhu Xian saw it, he said with a calm face: "Auntie, these people look quite pitiful. ”
Nie Shuyao frowned slightly and looked at him, she had to judge how to correct him according to what he was going to say next.
Zhu Xian then grinned and said, "However, you also deserve it!" My Ming Dynasty is not afraid of foreign enemies, what I am afraid of is these internal moths. Auntie, I want to be the vanguard of the royal brother, and I want to clean up these moths for him outside! (To be continued......)
