Chapter 474: Guilty Edict
This is already the eleventh sooth.
The three members of the cabinet were full of troubles, and Li Dongyang looked at Yan Chengjin with a complaining look.
Your Majesty is in a low mood today, how can you bear it, you can't be impeached after a while?
Yan Chengjin bowed his head slightly, waiting for Emperor Hongzhi to finish watching the recital.
Wu Kuan took a deep breath and pretended to be calm and stood on the hall, but his heart was flustered.
"Your Majesty, what is written on the bullet seal?"
When Emperor Hongzhi opened it, he did not directly look at the crimes listed, but at the number of crimes.
Yan Chengjin's bullet seal, the handwriting is like Li Dongyang, the writing is like Yang Yiqing, and the crime is like Xie Qian.
Gather the strengths of hundreds of officials and use them for their own use.
However, there is only one characteristic, which is his own.
That is, the number of charges is always seven, no more, no less.
"How long has Yan Qing's family been preparing for this bullet?" Emperor Hongji asked.
Yan Chengjin didn't dare to hide it: "Since Lord Wu became the imperial historian of the capital, it has been more than half a year. ”
As long as the factory guard investigated, he could learn from the scribe that since Wu Kuan entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he began to read the files, and he could not hide it.
Wu Kuan staggered a step, this official treats you as a colleague, your conscience ......
His heart ached, as if there were thousands of ants biting at each other.
"Minister... I want to see the bullet stamp. ”
Xiao Jing hurriedly presented the bullet seal, fearing that he would tear it up, so he did not hand it over to Wu Kuan.
Yan Chengjin is not guilty, it is true that Wu Kuan can be regarded as a good official, with thousands of acres of fertile land at home, and a shop in Beijing in Jiangnan and other places, self-reliance, and less bribery.
But as the imperial history of the capital, he is a little weaker.
Adhering to the principle of not offending, the performance of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has dropped by more than half compared with when Dai Shan was in office, as can be seen from the bullet seal.
The imperial history should be cockfighting, and the road is crooked.
After reading the bullet chapter, Wu Kuan couldn't believe it, although it was not as serious as the crime of hiding the land, it was enough to make him famous.
Weakly and unwillingly, he asked, "You... How did you manage to investigate so thoroughly? ”
colleagues, in order to show respect, Yan Chengjin was truthful: "It's Wu Huan, the second son of Lord Wu's family." ”
When Wang Busui asked Wu Huan for comics, he would get some information from time to time, and over time, he would inquire about it all.
Yan Chengjin raised his head slightly, looking at Emperor Hongzhi, I don't know how His Majesty will decide?
"Since Wu Qing's family became the imperial history of the capital, the number of bullets has decreased a lot." Emperor Hongji was not satisfied with this.
Seeing Yan Chengjin's bullet seal, the imperial court's decree, officials above the fourth grade are not allowed to do business.
And Wu Kuan has done a lot of business.
"Wu Qing's family was transferred to Nanjing and took charge of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate."
The Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate is a place for the elderly and has no real power, so the bullets written are all scraping bullets, which are not as valued as Beizhili.
His Majesty's handling of this is for the sake of the former emperor, and it is already lenient.
He hurriedly bowed his head: "The minister's order!" ”
The Metropolitan Procuratorate is vacant, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the new Imperial History.
Yan Chengjin, this guy, is quite safe.
It's younger, but it's also useful.
Ma Wensheng and the others wanted to speak and stopped, they didn't want Yan Chengjin to become the imperial historian.
This guy's bullet is terrifying.
The bullet seal written by others is mostly hurtful, and the bullet seal you write is either to the official or exiled.
"I think about it, and the Yan Qing family will be the deputy capital of the imperial history, and he will be in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
Emperor Hongzhi's tone was flat and unwavering.
Li Dongyang and others were shocked.
But I can't say anything to refute it, the bullet seal written by this son, and the method of picketing hundreds of officials, are indeed impeccable.
Yan Chengjin didn't expect that he was just a deputy capital imperial history.
Yan Wai means that he will also send the imperial history of the capital to the Metropolitan Inspectorate.
The imperial history of the capital is at the bottom of the Jiuqing, not as good as the sixth, and even less as the cabinet.
The vice-capital Yushi is in the capital, so he can be called an official, right?
Although Yan Chengjin was not satisfied, there was no wave on his face: "Your Majesty, why isn't it the imperial history......
If you are not satisfied, you have to say it directly.
Hidden in his heart, it made His Majesty feel that he knew how to forbear, and the city was very deep.
This is the same reason that people who are hearty and outspoken are more likely to make friends than people who are deep in the city.
Sometimes honesty is also a kind of scheming.
However, Yan Chengjin is really dissatisfied.
Well?
Li Dongyang and the others looked at it, but they had never seen such a confident person who dared to open his mouth to ask for an official.
"Yan Chengjin, don't talk nonsense in the palace, don't thank you quickly." Li Dongyang hurriedly reminded in a whisper.
"Congratulations to Lord Yan, thank you." Xiao Jing smiled and secretly persuaded himself.
Yan Chengjin was unmoved, raised his head slightly, and glanced at Emperor Hongzhi, Your Majesty will not move, I will not move.
Emperor Hongzhi's face was as usual, and he was a little blamed: "You are very sincere, please step down, I have something important." ”
can guess that the important thing Your Majesty said is to write an edict of guilt.
Yan Chengjin pressed the urge to give his last hand under his patience.
The Ming Dynasty has not been crowned as the deputy capital of the imperial history for a long time.
Usually, only one of the Imperial Historians, or Deputy Imperial Historians, is in charge of the Imperial Procuratorate.
But the deputy is subservient to others after all, and he is not considered Jiuqing.
"Obey the order!"
He and the six ministers withdrew from the main hall, and the three members of the cabinet remained in the palace to serve the Hongzhi Emperor.
Out of the palace gate, walking behind, Zeng Jian smiled: "Congratulations to the virtuous nephew, I am afraid that you are going to be famous today." ”
"The lower officials dare not be the officials."
Soon, the major yamen in the palace shook.
It is rumored that Yan Chengjin sent eleven letters in a row, and sent eleven officials into exile.
However, this is only the first shocking news.
The second news that shocked them, Wu Kuan, one of the nine Qings, was transferred to Nanjing, and Chen Qing, the left servant of the household department, was sent to Shi!
Two important ministers of the court fell one after another.
The most shocking thing is the third news.
Yan Chengjin took charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and became the deputy capital of the Imperial History.
"This son is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"
"Why don't I wait for the request and transfer him to the Ministry of Rites?"
The ministers discussed privately, and for them, Wu Kuan was the best imperial history.
The news of Yan Chengjin's promotion to the imperial history of the capital was discussed for two days in the major yamen in the palace.
Even Zhu Houzhao knew it in the East Palace.
"Lao Gao, why did you rise to the vice-capital of Yushi, and the court complained?" Zhu Houzhao blinked and said seriously: "Today's lecture, Master Yang sighed one after another, this palace has never seen Master Yang in such a depressed mood." ”
Yang Tinghe heard that Yan Chengjin was promoted to the deputy capital of the imperial history, and he didn't sleep peacefully all night.
Although it has nothing to do with him, I always feel uneasy.
Yan Chengjin didn't think so, and after a while, he calmed down.
The hundred officials waited quietly, watching Yan Chengjin's actions after taking office, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate was very quiet, and there was no bullet seal for two consecutive days.
Until Emperor Hongzhi issued an edict, the court became lively.
Yan Chengjin didn't expect that His Majesty would be so sincere and write the number of the Yellow Book on the edict.
The General Administration Department issued a newspaper, and the booksellers in the market reprinted it, overwhelming the world.
Suddenly, the guilty edict was on the hot search in the capital.
"Half of the paddy fields are missing, it's really faint!"
"Talking about today's saints, are you not afraid of killing your head?"
"Everyone in the capital lives and works in peace and contentment, how can it be so ......"
Market vendors are whispering.
Although the people do not understand what good government is and what bad government is.
But in their eyes, if the emperor can make more paddy fields, it is naturally good governance, and if there are fewer paddy fields, it is bad governance.
Fengtian Temple.
Emperor Hongzhi's face was hesitant, he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, but he couldn't help it after all: "How did the people react when they saw the edict?" ”
Xiao Jing was very embarrassed and couldn't spit out a word for a long time.
The hundred officials lowered their heads and entered the palace in a sedan chair, but they heard a lot of broken words, but they didn't dare to show it.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Yan Chengjin: "Yan Qing's family, you are the most sincere, you say." ”
Yan Chengjin thought about it carefully and said, "The people scolded Your Majesty for being a faint king. ”
There was an uproar in the temple.
Baiguan looked at it with an unkind face, although what you said was the truth, you can't say it clearly!
They watched cautiously and observed Emperor Hongji's reaction.
Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath, his eyes as big as copper bells.
Obviously, was offended.
