Peng Ze, the first person to know the soldiers of the Yang Party, and the absolute confidant of Yang Tinghe.

In terms of appearance, this product is not like a civilian official, but more like a military general. He is burly, with big shoulders and a round waist, and the history books record his "waist twelve circumferences". There are two conversion methods, one with a waist circumference of one meter eight, and one with a waist circumference of one meter one, which is very scary anyway.

The belts of Ming Dynasty officials are loose, let's count Peng Ze's waist circumference of nearly one meter. If it's just a thick waist, it's a big fat man, but it's a big fat man, but it's a big figure to be big.

The ancient celebrities are all of this model, not the inverted triangle of modern bodybuilders.

Modern bodybuilders, body fat is too low, and they can't bear it for several months, and generals and soldiers must have enough fat reserves.

Above the court, Peng Ze's voice was loud, and he pointed to Yushi Xu Zhong and asked: "You said that I killed Liang in Sichuan, which military attache did it, killed Liang in He County and Village, and who was the surname of the good people killed?" ”

Xu Zhong was expressionless and replied: "As an imperial history, I should be a rumor. As for whether it is true, someone has checked it, and if there is no such thing, it can also return Peng Zongxian's innocence. ”

Peng Ze said angrily: "In other words, you don't know any, just listen to a few nonsense and come to impeach!" ”

Xu Zhong sneered: "Peng Zongxian is such a great official, he didn't know how to defend himself when he was impeached, but instead asked the person who played the impeachment, Xingshi. As the imperial historian, if I find out everything and then do it, then what is the use of beware of the judge? What's the use of the thirteen imperial histories? What is the use of the Criminal Department? ”

Peng Ze is now the leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Xu Zhong is just a small imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Just because Yang Tinghe recommended Peng Ze to be transferred to the head of the household department, Peng Ze was immediately targeted by his subordinates, and the messy things were bitten indiscriminately.

Yi Pengze's violent temper really wanted to smash the other party in public.

Peng Ze's irascible personality originated from his father.

Back then, Peng Ze married his daughter and created dozens of exquisite lacquerware, which was very expensive. After sending someone to his hometown, his father smashed all the lacquerware, determined that Peng Ze was corrupt as an official in the local area, and personally ran to reason with his son with his luggage.

After the father and son met, Peng Ze hurriedly asked the servant to carry the luggage. His father scolded: "Lao Tzu has carried thousands of miles, and you refuse to carry even a few steps?" What do you want! Entering the official residence, Peng Ze immediately knelt down to say goodbye. His father picked up the stick and beat it, and after the beating, he returned to his hometown with his luggage on his back.

Peng Ze inherited his father's violent temper, and Zhengde went against the eunuch in the local area in the early years, and directly prepared a coffin for himself.

When Qian Ning gained power, Peng Ze and Wang Qiong competed for the secretary of the army. Wang Qiong invited Peng Ze to drink, deliberately induced Peng Ze to talk nonsense, and asked Qian Ning to hide behind the screen. As a result, Qian Ning heard Peng Ze scolding himself with his own ears, and ran to the emperor to make a small report, plus Wang Qiong also befriended Jiang Bin, so he immediately grabbed the position of the secretary of the military department.

Peng Ze is really not greedy, and the city government is not deep, but he is a fanatical official.

At this moment, Peng Ze held the wat board, tore open his loud voice, and said with a loud voice: "Fellow science and technology, if there is anything else to impeach, say it together!" I don't defend myself, I will check if I change it, I can do it right, sit up straight, and I am not afraid of small plots! ”

Yushi Xu Zhong said indifferently: "I do the responsibility of the imperial history, and I heard about it, how did I become a small person in the mouth of Peng Zongxian?" ”

Zhu Houzhao sat on it and yawned: "Send someone to investigate this matter, don't mess around anymore." ”

Xu Zhong immediately said: "Before it is investigated, it is not appropriate for Peng Zongxian to be transferred to the head of the household department. ”

Peng Ze's face was pale, staring at Wang Qiong in front of him, Wang Qiong's eyes did not squint, like an old monk in a fixed position.

In addition to Wang Yuan and Wang Yangming, Peng Ze and Wang Qiong are the civilian officials with the most military merits, and the two of them have become endless rivals. Even if Wang Qiong has already entered the cabinet, he must press Peng Ze to the death and prevent the other party from taking over the household department smoothly.

Pressing the gourd to float the scoop, Xu Zhonggang finished impeaching Peng Ze, and Zhu Yuchang jumped out again: "The minister impeached Wang Shouren, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials, who used the name of Qingtian in Jiangxi to instigate his protégé to forcibly occupy the people's land. He also advocated crooked reasoning and tampered with Zhu Zi's words, causing Shilin's evil theories to swell. In such an act, it is not appropriate to transfer to the head of the household! ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't speak yet, and Cai Jing and Yushi Gao Shikui were listed at the same time: "In the nineteenth year of Zhengde, Ningxia General Soldier Xun bribed the Beijing Division, and the investigator was on his list, and the right capital Yushi Jin Xianmin was also on the list. This matter is so true that there is no need to check it again, just look through the case file. Jin Xianmin colluded with military generals and accepted bribes, how could he be in charge of both the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial House? ”

If the first two impeachments are just rumors and do not pose a strong threat, then the impeachment of Kim Xianmin can be said to hit the nail on the head.

Jin Xianmin sweated in his vest and knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the ministers are not strict in disciplining the family servants, causing him to accept bribes from military generals, and ask him to resign from his post as the imperial historian and return to his hometown to recuperate!" ”

Yes, the big crime of colluding with military generals and accepting bribes was directly pushed onto the domestic servants. As for the domestic servant, he had already been exiled to the Western Regions two years ago.

Yang Tinghe now has a headache, he recommended Jin Xianmin to be in charge of the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial Room, because he felt that this matter had long passed, but he didn't expect to be turned out by the Yanguan to fry cold rice. But he had to recommend Jin Xianmin, because this person was very old and was Yang Tinghe's hardcore confidant, and he was once squeezed out of Nanjing by Liang Chu.

After Yang Ting and Ding Wei returned to the court, they finally got Jin Xianmin back to Beijing, and he has been thrown in the Imperial Court as the imperial history of the capital, and now he has to recommend him to serve as the head of the household. If Jin Xianmin is not promoted, it will chill many Yang Party members, and even give birth to the idea of following Yang Tinghe and having no future.

Cabinet minister Mao Ji hurriedly helped speak: "Your Majesty, the nineteen-year case of Zhengde has already been closed. That's Jin Zongxian's servant, betraying the lord and doing his own thing, how can one case be punished twice? ”

Cai Jing sneered in the matter: "Self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world, even the Qi family can't do it, can you still be a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and the head of the house?" ”

Yushi Gao Zhankui also said: "In the third year of Zhengde, there was a loss of grain in the Huguang warehouse; In the fourth year of Zhengde, the murder case of Liu Daolong in Liuyang was found to be untrue. Mr. Kim, what is your interpretation of these two cases? ”

Jin Xianmin was already planning to resign, but when he heard this, he jumped up angrily: "In February of the third year of the old Zhengde, he was dismissed because he offended Liu Jin and was defiled by Tianjin Qingtian. In June, he was arrested and imprisoned on trumped-up charges, but was fortunately rescued by his colleagues. The grain case in the Huguang warehouse in July was actually done by the eunuchs, who insisted on staining the old man, and put the old man in prison again! Are you trying to overturn the case for Liu Jin when you find these things now? ”

The ministers stood up one after another to defend Jin Xianmin.

Wang Yuan was speechless when he heard it, you are not professional, you have nothing to do with those old accounts. Once Liu Jin is involved, even if Jin Xianmin is guilty, he will immediately become innocent.

Gao Zhankui was still arrested: "These are framed, but what about Liu Daolong's murder?" That's the unjust, false and wrongful case you heard! ”

Jin Xianmin wanted to speak and stopped, and was speechless in an instant. At that time, he served as the procurator of Huguang and tried countless cases, and the murder case of Liu Daolong was indeed wrong. But this unjust case was not intentional by Jin Xianmin, but was deceived by his subordinates, and it became a stain that Jin Xianmin could not wash away in his life.

Not to mention the noble officials of the Hanlin Academy, but those who take the path of local hard work and promotion, who can do the central minister?

What's more, Jin Xianmin is a jinshi at the end of the three lists, and the first position is Zhengbapin pedestrian (emperor herald). This position is very embarrassing, it seems to be holding a festival order for the emperor, but in fact, it has no contact with the emperor, it is just a seemingly glamorous position.

It took him nine years to become a patrol and a royal historian, so that Yunnan officials could be cleared. Then he patrolled Gyeonggi, and the nobles and eunuchs avoided it one after another, and it was called "Iron Mask Imperial History".

When the Jin Xian militia prepared Tianjin, it sorted out Tianjin in an orderly manner. You must know that in the entire northern Ming Dynasty, Tianjin's complexity is second only to Beijing, and the economic interests are even more serious than Beijing.

The former iron-faced imperial history, the former capable minister, was bitten by two small officials when he was old.

Jin Xianmin came from the sorrow and took off his official hat: "The minister has the emperor's grace, but according to Chahuguang, he has caused an unjust case, and asked to sue the old man to return to his hometown!" ”

Cabinet minister Jiang Mian pleaded: "Your Majesty, if you are not a sage, who can be without fault?" Jin Zongxian's mistrial of the case back then was not intentional, and secondly, he had already been dismissed once because of this. Jin Zongxian has been in three dynasties, and he has been conscientious and conscientious for decades, and his political achievements are brilliant, how can he be expelled from his hometown because of an omission? ”

Jin Xianmin resigned with an iron heart, and said to Jiang Mian: "Elder Jiang Ge doesn't have to say much about old age. The old man has been bright and frank all his life, and there are only two things to lose, one is Liu Daolong's murder case, and the other is the bribery case. Since someone turned it out, the old man has no face to be an official anymore. Saying that, Jin Xianmin couldn't afford it, knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty, please ask the quasi-minister to return to his hometown!" ”

"It doesn't have to be this way." Zhu Houzhao said.

Jin Xianmin still knelt on the ground and shouted again: "Your Majesty, please ask the quasi-minister to return to his hometown!" ”

Zhu Houzhao could only scold the two officials: "You all give me a retreat!" ”

Jin Xianmin shouted for the third time: "Your Majesty, please ask the quasi-minister to return to his hometown!" ”

At this point, as long as you are not blind, you know that Jin Xianmin has made up his mind. Even if he can't resign today, he will resign another day, he is really disheartened.

Zhu Houzhao said: "If you resign, you will be awarded the title of secretary of the household department." ”

This is to approve Jin Xianmin's resignation, and temporarily promoted to the head of the household Shangshu, Jin Xianmin's hometown house can also be called "Shangshudi".

Jin Xianmin shouted: "Thank you for your grace!" ”

Cai Jing and Gao Zhankui, the two officials, although they achieved the goal of impeachment, always felt panicked. They seemed to have stabbed a hornet's nest, and the ministers glared angrily one by one, because Jin Xianmin, an old minister of the Three Dynasties, was very prestigious.

Yang Tinghe turned to look at Wang Yuan, who shook his head slightly, indicating that this matter was not instructed by himself.

Peng Ze was reluctant to resign, and shouted at the top of his voice: "You people, you forced Jin Zongxian to resign, but a certain family is not afraid." If there is any impeachment, they will all be said together, and today we have to argue about the merits! ”

The officials stopped talking.

Three top vacancies, Wang Yuan and Yang Tinghe recommended six candidates. Jin Xianmin was impeached to resign, Peng Ze was provoked to roar at the court, and Wang Yangming was also falsely accused of robbing people's land.

The remaining three, Wang Zan and Xi Shu, have no defects in their private morality, and they can't find any weaknesses in their attacks. Wang Jun has been in the Hanlin Academy for a long time, and later transferred to the Sixth Ministry, which is also decent, and there is also no place to impeach.

Zhu Houzhao made a decision on the spot: "The waiter of the warehouse is the secretary of the house, and he is promoted to the secretary of the household department; Wang Jun, the left waiter of the Criminal Department, was promoted to the waiter of the Ministry of Engineering; As for the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and the head of the house, this vacancy was taken over by Wang Hong, the left attendant of the ministry. ”

There were three seats, one for Wang Yuan, one for Yang Tinghe, and one for the imperial party.

Wang Hong, the emperor of the imperial party, was so frightened that he immediately came out of the ranks, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, the minister was promoted to the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, and he has been fortunate to receive His Majesty's holy grace, where do you dare to take over the Hanlin Academy?" The people recommended by Yang Ge Lao and Wang Shangshu are all great sages with both talent and virtue, how can they be compared with them? Please take back your order! ”

Wang Feng really didn't dare to take the lead, his qualifications and prestige were too shallow, once he accepted this appointment, I was afraid that he would offend Wang Yuan and Yang Tinghe at the same time.

Wang Yuan didn't speak, and Yang Tinghe didn't speak.

Zhu Houzhao was a little upset: "That's it." ”

Wang Hong kowtowed frantically and said: "If Your Majesty insists on being promoted, the minister can only resign to show his heart!" ”

Zhu Houzhao wanted to rush down and kicked Wang Feng away. He worked very hard and took the opportunity to promote the imperial party, but he didn't expect this imperial party to cooperate.

Yang Yiqing came out and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Shilang is indeed not qualified. ”

Wang Qiong followed: "Wang Shouren, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials, has both talent and virtue, and the whole world knows it, please recall Your Majesty to the capital." ”

"Retreat!" Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he turned around and left.
