Chapter 005: Qing lives up to the Ming, and I don't live up to the Qing
West Garden, Cabinet Pavilion.
Emperor Jiajing specially prepared a place for the cabinet to work, and the cabinet members usually handled affairs in the cabinet, and some people took turns on duty every day.
At this time, the second assistant Xu Jie, as well as cabinet members Li Chunfang and Chen Yiqin, the three of them were in the pavilion.
Of course, there is also Lu Fang, the head of the celebrant supervisor.
The cabinet drafts votes, and the celebrant approves the red, so that various policies can be issued upwards.
"A few of them are here."
Chen Hong came to the attic calmly, with his hands behind his back.
This time, I didn't greet Xu Jie, the old ancestor (Lu Fang) as in the past.
"I'm on duty here for a few days, what are you doing here?"
Lu Fang asked.
Chen Hong looked at the four of them again, and then took out the holy decree in his hand: "There is a holy decree." ”
Lu Fang, Xu Jie, Li Chunfang, and Chen Yiqin knelt down to receive the order.
Chen Hong opened the holy decree and read: "From now on, Yan Song will be removed from all official positions, and he will not be allowed to go out to recuperate at home." Xu Jiejie was instructed to lead the first auxiliary post of the cabinet and take charge of cabinet affairs, and Li Chunfang led the second auxiliary post.
In addition, the high arch of the high arch was ordered to supplement the cabinet on the same day.
The cabinet immediately drafted a decree and ordered Hai Rui, the magistrate of Chun'an County, to preside over the trial of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and the case of Zheng Bichang, He Maocai and others embezzling ink, and Zhao Zhenji and Wang Yongji assisted in the trial.
Chin this. ”
The four were shocked inexplicably.
Suddenly, Yan Song was deposed and confined at home, Xu Jie was promoted to the first assistant, Li Chunfang was promoted to the second assistant, and Gao Gong entered the cabinet!
It is also necessary to let Hai Rui, the magistrate of Chun'an County, preside over the matters involved in the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau.
Is the emperor going to be strict?
"Congratulations to Elder Xu Ge, Elder Li Ge."
Chen Hong smiled.
"Chen Hong, do you know why the Holy Lord is suddenly like this?"
Lu Fang asked.
Because Emperor Jiajing's attitude changed too quickly, he and the other three were caught off guard.
Chen Hong said: "Ancestor, a few elders. The immortal weapon given by the saint issued a warning, and the warning is just two words: severe calamity. ”
Immortal Alert?!
Scourge?
Referring to Yan Song's henchmen?
The four of them were stunned, no wonder the emperor suddenly came like this.
Chen Hong said again: "I can't help but Yan Song was deposed, and the saint also ordered Jinyiwei to arrest Yan Shifan, Luo Longwen, and Yan Maoqing, and confiscate all their family property. ”
There was a pleasant surprise.
After being stunned for a while, Xu Jie's heart was overjoyed, and he bowed in the direction of Emperor Jiajing's residence: "Holy Wisdom!" ”
Think about it, Xu Jie, they have been persecuted by the strict party, and they have always wanted to be strict, but they can't withstand the emperor's words.
Yan Song fell, can you not thank Emperor Jiajing?
Xu Jie was very happy in his heart, and he couldn't wait to spread the news and celebrate the whole world.
On the same day, news came out of the cabinet.
In addition, some people saw Yan Shifan, Luo Longwen, and Yan Maoqing being arrested by Jinyiwei, which proved that the news was true.
The Yan Party has fallen.
Yan Song was in the house, and after receiving the holy decree sent by Huang Jin, he was deposed and recuperated at home and was not allowed to go out.
Not only him, but also the people in his house could not go out, and the brocade guards guarded outside.
"It's over......"
Yan Song fainted.
He knew that Emperor Jiajing was going to give up on him, and the Yan family was finished.
Yuwang Mansion.
The news from Xu Jie, as well as the news of Jinyiwei's arrest of Yan Shifan, Luo Longwen, and Yan Maoqing.
Yuwang Zhu Zaikun hurriedly asked people to arch high, and Zhang Juzheng came to discuss countermeasures.
Zhang Juzheng is here.
And Gao Gong received the holy decree and entered the cabinet, and went to the cabinet.
"Lord Wang, Yan Song was deposed and was not allowed to go out at home to recuperate, Yan Shifan, Luo Longwen, and Yan Maoqing were imprisoned. Regardless of whether it is an immortal weapon warning "Severe Calamity", this time the Yan Party will definitely be finished. ”
Zhang Juzheng said: "Taking this opportunity, the prince should discuss with Xu Ge Lao, and unite the ministers to participate in the various evil deeds of the Yan Party in the past, and it is necessary to clean up the Yan Party." ”
is a ruthless man, falling into a well.
"Okay."
Yuwang Zhu Zaikun has long hated Yan Dang: "Xu Ge will come later......"
The next day, hundreds of officials went up one after another to impeach the Yan Party's crimes, especially the imperial historians, who were even more verbally and written.
can't help but impeach Yan Song, Yan Shifan, Luo Longwen, Yan Maoqing, and other Yan Dang, such as Hu Zongxian, Wang Chonggu and others.
The wall is down and everyone pushes it!
"It seems that the Holy One has really woken up."
Li Shizhen was invited to the Forbidden City by Jinyiwei, and when he heard the news of the fall of the Yan Party, he was also happy, and he was even more willing to see a doctor for Emperor Jiajing: "Speed up the pace, the holy dragon body is related to the common people in the world, and it must not be delayed for a moment." ”
The Jinyi guard next to him complained in his heart: I complained before, I didn't want to see a doctor for the saint, how has it changed now?
If you complain and complain, you still have to listen to Li Shizhen, not to mention what others say.
A few days later.
The decree issued by the cabinet was sent to Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province in an expedited manner of 600 miles.
The holy decree asked a county magistrate to preside over the affairs of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, but Zhao Zhenji, who was the governor of Zhejiang, became an accompaniment, Wang Yongji, and Jinyiwei also had to assist.
"What the hell is going on in the capital?"
Zhao Zhenji was full of doubts.
It wasn't until the next day that he received letters from Xu Jie, Yuwang and others that he knew what had happened.
"The Holy Lord deposed Yan Song and arrested Yan Shifan, Luo Longwen, and Yan Maoqing!"
Zhao Zhenji was shocked.
After coming back to his senses, he thought about it carefully and understood many things: "It's okay, if the strict party is to fall, it will definitely offend many people, so let Hai Rui come out of this." ”
The meaning conveyed by Xu Jie's letter to Zhao Zhenji was that Emperor Jiajing was likely to uproot the Yan Party, so he needed to use a straight person like Hai Rui. But this will inevitably become a thorn in the side of others, so let Hai Rui go out of this way.
Hai Rui was very surprised to receive the holy decree, but with his temperament, since he was asked to preside over the trial, he had to find out.
As a result, the entire Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and the entire Zhejiang Province have "chickens and dogs jumping", and there is one investigation involved.
Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, was in charge of the military affairs of Nanzhili and Zhejiang, and was currently mainly responsible for fighting against the Japanese invaders.
However, because the treasury was empty, there was no military salary, grain and grass, and the war was very hard.
When Hu Zongxian got the news of Yan Song's downfall, he sighed: "Holy Lord, it's easy to fall strict, but can you bear to watch the world be in chaos?" ”
Proceeding from the overall situation, Hu Zongxian was worried that the fall of Yan Song would involve all aspects of government and military affairs. The people promoted by Yan Song, including him, as well as Wang Chonggu and others are all important positions in official residences, and they have all been knocked down, and the Ming Dynasty will definitely be in chaos in a short period of time.
He had also persuaded Emperor Jiajing before, telling the emperor not to be in a hurry.
Then, a few days later, Hu Zongxian received a new decree that surprised him.
“…… I copied Yan Shifan, Luo Longwen, and Yan Maoqing, and the three of them had a family fortune of nearly 20 million...... Give 2 million taels today, and we will definitely solve the problem of the Japanese bandits! …… Er is Er, Yan Song is Yan Song, I know that Ruzhen is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, Qing does not live up to the Ming, and I do not live up to the Qing! ”
The message conveyed in the decree shocked Hu Zongxian.
First of all, Yan Shifan, Luo Longwen, and Yan Maoqing have confiscated so much family wealth, and they are as rich as the country!
Then it was Emperor Jiajing who gave double the money and asked him to solve the Japanese Invaders, which was the determination to fight against the Japanese Invaders.
The third is the sentence "Er is Er, Yan Song is Yan Song, I know that Ruzhen is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, Qing does not live up to the Ming Dynasty, and I am also responsible for the Qing!" Hu Zongxian's heart was moved.
On the one hand, the master (Yan Song) fell, and on the other hand, the emperor's trust.
Qing lives up to the Ming, and I don't live up to the Qing!
It's not that I live up to me, and I don't live up to it!
It also shows the mind of Emperor Jiajing.
"Is the Holy Lord of the past back?"
Emperor Jiajing was the lord of Britain in the early stage, and Hu Zongxian thought that Emperor Jiajing had woken up.
Look at the north and worship: "Minister Hu Zongxian, thank the saint!" ”
Emperor Jiajing, who was selected in the capital, was receiving medical treatment from Li Shizhen, and at the same time dealing with the confiscation of the family wealth of Yan Shifan, Luo Longwen, and Yan Maoqing.
