Chapter 251: Persecuting Your Majesty (Plus for Single Gs)
At this time, Xu Xianchun was very excited, although he was trying his best to control it, he still couldn't hide the excitement in his heart.
The reason is also very simple, he feels that he is going to be reused this time.
As a relative of the emperor, he is quite well-informed. Jinyiwei already has many people who know that Luo Sigong has fallen out of favor.
Some time ago, Luo Sigong did not fight for the East Factory, this is actually nothing, and it is not a day or two that Jinyiwei can't compete for the East Factory.
One of the main reasons is that Luo Sigong did something that should not be done in front of His Majesty.
After such news spread throughout the Jingshi, everyone felt that Luo Sigong was probably going to do it, and those who were qualified to compete naturally wanted to take the position, but there has been no movement in the past few days.
He was suddenly called to the palace, and Xu Xianchun knew that this was movement.
If you do things well this time, then you will be able to take the position, and you will be able to take Luo Sigong's place, and maybe you can take the opportunity to suppress the East Factory.
It is difficult for Xu Xianchun not to be excited. Although he is a relative of the emperor, their family is from a horse.
His grandfather is a colt, and at his age, he can only be regarded as an ordinary royal relative. There are too many people like him in Daming, and it is impossible for you to come out at all.
That's why Xu Xianchun likes to practice martial arts, and wants to fight for a background in this way.
At this moment, he finally felt that his efforts were not in vain, and he was finally going to get ahead!
Xu Xianchun secretly swore in his heart that he must do things well today.
Zhu Youxiao didn't go to see Xu Xianchun. It doesn't really matter what he thinks.
Taking a sip of tea and putting the tea on the table, Zhu Youxiao said, "There is an errand entrusted to you." The stakes are high, and if you mess up, you know the consequences. β
"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister will not let Your Majesty down." Xu Xianchun hurriedly said.
Nodding slightly, Zhu Youxiao said, "Chen Hong, you take him down." β
"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed, walked to Xu Xianchun's side, and said with a smile: "Lord Xu, come with our family." β
After saying this, Chen Hong turned around and led the way in front.
Xu Xianchun also knew Chen Hong's status, and hurriedly said: "There is Lao Chen's father-in-law." β
After the two of them walked out of a distance, Chen Hong said: "There is a case to be investigated by the General Administration Department, and your errand is to bring people to follow them, but you can't let them find out." β
"Look at what is wrong with the General Administration Department in the process of handling the case, just write it down. If they go for help from the Brocade Guard, remember to help them. β
"You don't have to ask what they do and how they do it; You don't want to meddle in the cases they investigate, you know? β
Of course, Xu Xianchun knew what he was going to do, nodded and said, "Understood." β
Turning his head to look at Xu Xianchun, Chen Hong said with a bright smile on his face, "Then do it well." If you do this well, you will have a bright future. β
Hearing the string song and knowing the elegant meaning, Xu Xianchun hurriedly smiled and said, "Please take care of my father-in-law in the future." β
"Lord Xu is polite, do things well, be loyal to Your Majesty, and naturally have a bright future." Chen Hong said with a smile: "Our family won't send Lord Xu out, Lord Xu has a smooth journey." β
"There is Father-in-law." Xu Xianchun also said with a smile.
For the Chen Hong and Chen father-in-law in front of him, Xu Xianchun knows, or no one in the entire Jinyi Wei doesn't know.
Jin Yiwei's current commander Luo Sigong relies on this father-in-law.
Now that Gonggong Chen has extended an olive branch to himself, there is more meaning in this. Xu Xianchun can't be happy if he wants to.
He walked out of the palace excitedly, and his whole person was in a lot of energy. He knew this was his chance, a chance to make himself soar.
Seeing Chen Hong turn around and come back, Zhu Youxiao asked, "Have you explained the matter?" β
"Back to the emperor, I have already explained." Chen Hong hurriedly bowed down and said.
Zhu Youxiao nodded and slowly closed his eyes.
The palace maid standing behind Zhu Youxiao gently stretched out her hand to push his rocking chair, shaking it at a slow speed.
Cabinet.
Xu Guangqi held a question book in his hand and walked quickly into the duty room.
The other three Cabinet Fellows have arrived.
After Xu Guangqi walked in, he sat directly in his place, reached out and took a sip of tea, then picked up the candied fruit on the side and ate a piece.
Seeing that several people were all looking at him, Xu Guangqi put a question book on the table and said slowly: "This is from Luoyang County, you can take a look." β
Several people were stunned.
The question book on the county?
This is a rare occurrence.
You must know that usually the people who are on the question book are all senior officials, at least they are also political envoys and torture envoys.
Local officials do not have the power to submit the script, nor do they have the qualifications to do so, they only need to report the matter.
This time, there is a magistrate on the question, which is an unusual thing in itself. Of course, being able to receive the question book from the magistrate is something unusual in itself.
So Han Yi and the three of them reached out and took the question book and read it quickly.
"Impeach your boss and the Fu King?" After browsing it, Sun Chengzong asked with some confusion.
He turned his head to look at Xu Guangqi again and asked, "Who handed this over?" β
This inscription was written by Chen Qiyu, the magistrate of Luoyang, and there is a payment at the back. So Sun Chengzong didn't ask this question, but who sent this question book to Xu Guangqi's hands.
This is obviously not sent through normal channels.
"Chen Qiyu asked someone to send it over, and asked the old man to forward it to the imperial court." Xu Guangqi recognized it directly.
Several people nodded together, this kind of operation is not a big deal.
As the so-called people in the court are good officials, it is not just that someone takes care of them when they are officials, but that they can find people in the court when they have something.
Chen Qiyu directly found Xu Guangqi, obviously there was something here, Chen Qiyu and Xu Guangqi knew each other.
However, the people present were not surprised, who of them did not have a protΓ©gΓ©?
It's just that under ordinary circumstances, no one is on the question book like this, because this kind of skipping the question book is a taboo thing. In officialdom, overstepping is a very, very serious matter.
"It doesn't matter how this book came about." Han Yi said on the side: "The important thing is what is written in this script, which impeached the prefect of Henan and King Fu. β
As he spoke, Han Yi turned his head to look at Xu Guangqi and said, "Is this Chen Qiyu still on the show?" β
Xu Guangqi nodded, "This question book came out together with the song. β
"It's just that the transmission of the twists and turns is in charge of the special person of the imperial court, and the speed is faster, and it should have entered the palace now. That's why I'm showing you this book. β
Several people nodded together, of course they understood Xu Guangqi's intentions. Several people are old fritters in the officialdom, so they naturally understand what this question book represents.
On the surface, it is just a question book for the impeachment of the prefect of Henan and King Fu, and there are many such questions. Every year, there are people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and there are also people from the governors of various places.
Although the vassal kings in various regions were very powerful, most of them would not be disposed of if they were impeached in the court.
But the civil officials were not afraid, and the vassal king had nothing to do with them, and if they were impeached, they would be impeached. They even dare to impeach His Majesty, let alone the vassal king?
The difficulty lies in the timing of the choice and the manner in which impeachment is made.
If it were just a recital, it would be nothing more than a secret report. Although what Chen Qiyu did would be disgusted by the officials, there was no way, after all, it was done in accordance with the rules of the imperial court.
If it's just a question book, it's nothing.
Whether it's just a secret recital, or just a question book, the way to deal with it is very simple. If the court wants to do it, then do it; If the court doesn't want to do it, then stay in the middle and don't send it.
But now Chen Qiyu has put the question book and the secret music together, and he has tied this matter to the secret music system of the imperial court.
If the court doesn't care about this matter, then the secret music system will become a joke, which is a slap in the face of His Majesty.
The function of this question book is to spread the news that Chen Qiyu has been in the secret recital.
If the imperial court is in charge, then it is up to His Majesty to make another decision. Let His Majesty clean up the Fu King, what does this mean?
This means that the imperial court has opened a knife on the vassal king. In this matter, such actions are always sensitive.
After all, the Ming Dynasty had a famous Jingjing. Although everyone doesn't talk about it, it's still a sensitive topic. You must know that during the Zhengde period, there was also King Ning who rebelled.
If they rebelled against the local vassal kings, their courtiers would not only have a bad reputation, but would also likely become the target of public criticism.
"This Chen Qiyu's courage is really not small." Huang Kezhang on the side said.
His words were echoed by the other three.
This Chen Qiyu was forcing the imperial court, and took advantage of the opportunity for the imperial court to implement secret music, and did such a thing.
Once the news spreads, I am afraid that those who oppose the tantric recital will rise up and attack it. Of course, they will not attack the secret music, but will only ask the imperial court to severely punish King Fu, and by the way, they will bring all the secret music with them, and at the same time attack Zhao Bingzhong of the General Administration. What else do you want to do if you don't check?
After several people looked at each other, they all felt that something was a little tricky.
The key is still in His Majesty's attitude, what will His Majesty do?
This is a very big problem, and the expressions on the faces of the four people are not very good.
Why does anyone always do this kind of thing?
After a moment of silence, the gaze of Han Yi and the three of them fell on Xu Guangqi's face.
This question book was brought by Xu Guangqi, so naturally he has to stand up and be responsible, you can't pull everyone into the water.
Their meaning is obvious, Xu Guangqi has to think of a way.
"This question book has to be handed in." Xu Guangqi said slowly.
Although he didn't continue to say anything, the other three people also understood that the question book could only be handed to His Majesty, which meant that this matter was no longer up to them, and it depended on His Majesty's intentions.
Whether it is the abolition of the secret music system, the severe punishment of Zhao Bingzhong, or the preservation of Zhao Bingzhong, it is not what they should participate in.
But as long as there is a decision in this matter, then you can move on to the next thing according to this decision in the future, and this is the custom.
The other three nodded and said, "That's fine." β
This time the matter was really bad, and Han Yi and the others really didn't want to get involved, so they agreed to Xu Guangqi's approach.
The question book was quickly sent to the West Garden.
In the West Garden.
Zhu Youxiao looked at the question book he had just sent, and a smile appeared on his face.
Things turned out to be as I guessed. After taking a look, he handed the question book to Chen Hong and said, "Send it to Zhao Bingzhong." β
"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong took the question book with both hands and respectfully agreed.
He was about to leave, but he remembered something again, and asked cautiously, "Did the news spread before?" β
"Of course it has to be passed on." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said.
Chen Hong didn't speak again, and walked out with the question book in both hands.
Soon, Chen Hong came to the General Administration Department and went directly inside to see Zhao Bingzhong.
"Lord Zhao, Your Majesty asked the slave maid to send this inscription to Lord Zhao." As he spoke, Chen Hong gave the question book to Zhao Bingzhong.
Reaching out to pick up the question book and looking at it, Zhao Bingzhong sighed helplessly.
Things are really the same as what His Majesty said, so Zhao Bingzhong said: "There is Lao Chen's father-in-law." Please give your majesty to your father-in-law, and the minister will definitely handle things well. β
"Don't worry, Lord Zhao, our family will definitely tell Your Majesty." Chen Hong agreed with a smile, arched his hand and said, "If there is nothing else, then our family will leave." β
"Father-in-law Chen, walk slowly." Zhao Bingzhong made a gesture of please and said
After leaving the yamen of the General Administration Department, Chen Hong walked back and said to a little eunuch beside him: "Go ahead, get things done, don't make any mistakes." β
"Don't worry, godfather, there must be no difference." The little eunuch agreed, and then broke away from the group and walked into the distance
After the little eunuch entered a room, changed into a set of clothes, and quietly left the palace through the side door of the palace.
There was already a carriage waiting for him outside the palace gate.
After getting into the carriage, he quickly lowered the curtain of the carriage, and the little eunuch said, "Let's go." β
The coachman did not ask where to go, but waved his whip lightly, and the car rolled the stone road and left the palace gate.
After walking a few streets in the capital, the carriage finally stopped at the door of a courtyard.
The coachman whispered to the people in the car, "Mr. Chen has arrived." β
As he spoke, he lifted the curtain of the car, and the little eunuch got out of the car, looked around and saw that no one was following, so he pushed the door directly and walked in.
There were already people waiting in the courtyard, and when they saw the little eunuch come in, they turned around and went in to report.
It didn't take long for a fat middle-aged man to walk out inside.
This is a man in his forties, with a big belly, and after seeing the little eunuch, his face was full of smiles,
"Mr. Chen." He said in a respectful tone
The little eunuch nodded and said, "Go in and talk." β
After saying this, the little eunuch walked inside.
The fat man didn't dare to slack off, and followed him directly, and at the same time made a look at the people around him.
Several people hurriedly found a place to stand, and some even went to the street to stand guard.
After walking into the house, the fat man smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, does he have something to explain?" β
"There's something for you to do." The little eunuch nodded and said directly: "The prefect of Luoyang County has a script, and at the same time, there is also a secret recital, and it is the prefect of Henan and King Fu who are impeached. β
Hearing the little eunuch's words, the fat middle-aged man immediately became serious
Obviously, this time the matter involves the battle between the DPRK and China, which proves that this is a big matter, and he does not dare to have the slightest neglect, because once there is a little neglect, it is a matter of wealth and life.
The little eunuch glanced at him and continued: "Let your people release the news, just say that Chen Qiyu, the magistrate of Luoyang, is persecuting Your Majesty, if Your Majesty does not severely punish King Fu, then the secret music system will be useless; If His Majesty severely punishes the blessed king, it is disregard for the family affection of the heavenly family. β
Hearing the little eunuch's words, the man in the fat man was almost frightened and cried, a very ugly smile appeared on his face, and he said with a sad face: "Mr. Chen, how dare we say this?" β
As he spoke, he hurriedly took out a stack of tickets from his hand and gently handed them to the little eunuch.
"Grandpa Chen. Please give me some advice. So saying, he shoved the ticket into the little eunuch's hand.
Quietly put the ticket away, and the little eunuch said: "Let you do it, you can do it, where are there so many things?" This time the thing is done well, and I can't lose it to you. β
"But the villain has no bottom in his heart." The fat man continued to cry and said with a sad face.
After hearing this, the little eunuch smiled and said directly: "It turns out that Chang Sanye, who is famous in the capital, also has something to fear. β
"Sir, it's a joke, this is a matter of raiding the family and exterminating the family." The fat man Chang Sanye hurriedly said.
The little eunuch stood up, walked up to Chang Sanye, patted his chest gently, and said with a smile: "If you want to do it, you will do it." Don't worry, your life is gone. If you don't, your life may be gone. β
Chang Sanye wanted to cry without tears.
As a prominent figure in the capital, Chang Sanye doesn't know how he was found by these people, and he can be said to be soft and hard for himself.
These people have a lot of energy, not only can they mobilize Jinyiwei, but they can also do a lot of things.
He had also asked people to check in private before, and knowing that these people's roots were in the palace, he didn't dare to offend.
But this matter is getting bigger and bigger, and it was just a little bit of news for himself.
Although it is also a news now, this news is also too big. This involves Your Majesty, if this news is released and someone checks it, it will be difficult to lose your life.
The little eunuch looked at Chang Sanye and said with a smile: "I know that you have checked us, and I think that with your Chang Sanye's ability, you should also find some things and know some of our heels." β
"For your respectful sake, I would like to remind you that the water in here is much deeper than you think. Don't think that you can't drown by the river, a wave will come and your bones will be gone. β
"So be obedient and do things well, otherwise."
Speaking of this, the little eunuch didn't continue to speak, he believed that Chang Sanye understood what he meant.
Chang Sanye hurriedly said, "Sir, don't worry, I know what to do." β
"It's good if you know, don't try to escape, you can't escape. If you really want to escape, I can tell you that there is no place for you in this world. β
After the little eunuch said this, he put Chang Sanye's ticket in his sleeve, turned around and walked outside.
