Chapter 132: Pillars of the Nation
Zhang Wei himself has a neutral attitude, but also because of his mediocre personality, he neither walks with Li Ying nor walks with Qingliu, and maintains a fact-based attitude in everything. Therefore, he was named the first assistant by Emperor Longxing.
The second assistant Zhang Yu and Xie Shan got close to Li Ying and Li Gonggong and supported Shu Tingxuan.
Wang Yiwei and Meng Huagang thought that the militia group's move ignored the law and killed in vain, and should be severely punished!
This matter involves the feudal palace. Dahualu, the vassal palace and its subordinates are under the management of the Zongren Mansion, and the Zongren Mansion is under the management of the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu also has the right to express opinions.
Feng Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, believes that the militia group kills people in violation of the regulations on the management of the clan, and the militia is Shu Tingxuan's preparation and command, and Shu Tingxuan should be held responsible.
However, everyone also knows that Feng Jing and Shu Tingxuan had a good relationship in the past, and they also got married. Later, Shu Tingxuan encountered a crisis, Qingliu broke up with him, and Feng Jing also found a reason to withdraw from the family, and the two became enemies.
Zhang Wei saw that the emperor's attitude was protective of the eunuchs, so he drooped his eyelids and stopped talking. Anyway, I don't have any claims on this matter.
The second auxiliary chapter is Yu and Xie Shan, and his face is happy.
Feng Jing said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the governor of Jiangxi said that in order to return the merchants to Qingming, increase commercial trade, and increase commercial taxes, the Jiangxi militia cracked down on local ruffians and killed more than 300 people. Among them, the first person who was killed, held the waist card of the Chu Wangfu, and the waist card was taken away by the Jinyi guard afterwards. It stands to reason that in any case, the militia has no right to kill this person, and the vassal king's mansion and its subordinates will be dealt with by their own clansmen who violate the law. This is the iron law of the clan set by the founding ancestor of Dahua! Shu Tingxuan's violation of the law today must be severely punished, otherwise others will follow the same example, and often kill the clan or subordinates in the name of maintaining the royal face, this iron law will exist in name only under the emperor's rule, and if it is used by someone with a heart in the future, there will be endless troubles. Your Majesty, Shu Tingxuan's move can be punished! “
Gonggong Li frowned.
Emperor Longxing's face sank, and his heart was shocked. Violate the clan system and expel the royal family! Feng Jingli is still in the book, this blow is steady and ruthless.
It is already obvious that Shu Tingxuan intends to kill these pimpies in order to increase business taxes. happened to meet Long Si showing the waist card of the Chu Palace, and he was in a dilemma for a while, so he simply used this as an excuse to kill everyone in the name of maintaining the reputation of the royal family!
Feng Jing is right, this case is unavoidable! Even if it's really to protect the reputation of the royal family, you can't open it!
Emperor Longxing said slowly: "No one is allowed to violate the iron law of the ancestors!" That waist card, Jinyi Wei sent someone to send it, it was Long Si bluffing, that is a piece, fake waist card! ”
Feng Jing was stunned, and said in a low voice: "In this case, Long Si is not subordinate to the Domain King's Mansion, and it is not under the jurisdiction of the Zongren Mansion, but the Ministry of Rites. He has no other opinions. After finishing speaking, there was a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he was not sure that he would pull down Shu Tingxuan. It is enough to bury a thorn in the emperor's heart.
Since he has made enemies with Shu Tingxuan, he can only find ways to fight him, otherwise even if he stops, Shu Tingxuan will not be grateful to himself, if he has the opportunity, I am afraid that he will also kill himself! Right now, in order to use him, the emperor is willing to cover it up for him, but he won't need it in the future? Or, what about this thorn that stung the emperor?
Meng Huagang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the governor of Jiangxi connived at the militia and did not interrogate without trial, without review by the Criminal Department, and without the emperor's collusion!" Killing more than 300 people without permission, ignoring the law, should be severely punished! Otherwise, if you say that you will kill today, others will be able to kill people tomorrow! Moreover, who has the right to characterize who is a splash? Even if it is a splash, it should be dealt with according to the law, and if you want to kill, you can kill it, so if you don't like anyone, you can kill it in the name of a ruffian? Wouldn't that be a big mess in the world? “
The second assistant Wang Yiwei said: "Your Majesty, even if the Jiangxi militia kills the people who should be killed this time, but after all, there is no procedure. As soon as this example was opened, it was copied everywhere, and the law was gone! The emperor and the court, how to control the place? Dahua is afraid of being wiped out! The emperor thinks twice! ”
Emperor Longxing's face froze.
The second auxiliary chapter Yu said: "Mr. Wang's words are exaggerated, and the Jiangxi governor's excerpt states that the Nanchang Xiang Army and the Yamen are all on duty outside the city, and the militia group assists the local government to maintain law and order, which is a reasonable and legal move." The militia took people and resisted arrest! Resisting arrest is tantamount to rebellion! In itself, it is unforgivable! “
Wang Yiwei sneered: "The militia can go and get people, but they can't kill without permission!" Resist arrest? Do you believe it too? Splashing skin has been to court more than once, Dahua has been established for more than 200 years, how many times have there been ruffians who have resisted arrest on the land plan file? Those splashes went to celebrate Long Si's birthday that day, most of them were unarmed, how to resist arrest? Since they resisted arrest, how many casualties did the militia have? If you really resist arrest, you should be killed! What if not? Do you need to send someone to Nanchang to investigate? "Longlong
Xie Shan snorted and said, "Xiecha, Long Si is holding a fake waist card and swaggering in the name of the King of Chu, this is a trivial matter." After a coordinated investigation, do you plan to make the world know? What is the face of the Chu Palace? According to the law of Dahua, impersonating a royal clan subordinate is a capital crime! The militia should be killed! ”
Wang Yiwei said angrily: "One person impersonated, those more than 300 people, should be killed?" ”
"The! It's all a subordinate of the Dragon Four! Xie Shan said: "The excerpt sent by Jiangxi, the political envoy Lu Xunyan, the people rejoiced!" According to the procurator Song Yiyan, the birthday banquet scene insulted the militia, Jinyiwei, the court, and the royal family, which is really a crime that deserves death! Admiral Xuezheng Shen Yu, Nanchang Prefect Wen Ziran, Nanchang Mansion Tongzhi Chen Yao, and Tongzhi Zhang Mao all claimed to have received 10,000 letters from the people, praising the government for eliminating harm for the people! Master Wang, didn't you see it? “
"I saw it, it was all sent with the excerpt of the governor of Jiangxi, eight hundred miles in an expedited manner. How feasible is it? Wang Yiwei is straightforward and fast-talking.
Xie Shan shook his head and said: "It's their duty to play, how can Master Wang figure out the intentions of others without authorization?" The excerpt you see is the attitude of the parties, which is the most basic principle of criticism! Don't treat others with your own heart, don't judge right and wrong with speculation, has Bachelor Wang forgotten? Otherwise, all the excerpts presented by the world will come to a sentence, is it credible? So how do you fold it? Proposed votes? How did the imperial court govern? ”
Wang Yiwei's face turned purple: "The emperor forgives the sin, and the minister is a gaffe." But the minister thought that it was really inappropriate to kill more than 300 people in vain! ”
Emperor Longxing's face was unhappy: "You can tell the right and wrong in case of trouble, and you are also unintentional." You are not guilty. ”
"Your Majesty." Wang Yiwei bowed his head.
Gonggong Li suddenly sighed: "Your Majesty, fellow scholars, Shangshu, I am still saying that there is no silver in the treasury, and nothing can be accomplished." The taxes paid by the provinces of Dahua are basically lacking, let alone growing. Only the governor of Jiangxi promised to increase by 20% every year from next year! That's a full 400,000 taels of silver! Nowadays, there are constant conflicts at the border gates, and military salaries are needed. The Northwest has not seen a drop of rain for ten months! Civil unrest can break out at any time! Dahua is in danger, Shu Tingxuan is in Jiangxi, turning the tide! The building will fall! Not only to rescue the victims of the flood, but also to raise taxes! You all know that Fang Cai said that he made up for the arrears of the border army, except for the silver at the bottom of the emperor's box, the rest was mostly sent by Jiangxi! If there is no silver in Jiangxi, the border army will riot, the people will riot, and Dahua will be dumped. Then I asked, "What is the use of the law if the kingdom does not exist?" If the country does not exist, where is the clan? If the country does not exist, what kind of government will you do? What is the law? Gonggong Li raised his voice and said, "Your Majesty! Shu Tingxuan is the pillar of the country! Now that it is an eventful autumn, it is natural to focus on the country! If the treasury is full, if the court has silver salaries, there is silver relief! Why did Master Shu make such a decision, he didn't do it well, and he had nothing to do to kill the splash? This is all forced by the lack of money in the imperial court! It's all about trying to overcharge taxes and money! If you really want to be held accountable, you here should be the first to take responsibility! “
Several bachelors, Shangshu, had embarrassed faces and red ears. The eunuch's speech was too hurtful, as if it was the incompetence of himself and others that led to the indiscriminate killing of the governor of Jiangxi in order to overcollect taxes and silver!
This is a bit unjust, the building can fall down in a day? Dahua can be eroded in one day? It's just that I just happened to sit in this position when it was the hardest.
It's just that what people say makes some sense, and now that he is in his position, he really has no ability to do his job.
Zhang Wei's eyes opened: "Your Majesty, this time the Jiangxi militia did it, and the people praised it, this is good governance." The ultimate goal of the law is the peace of the country and the people, and above the public court, there is righteousness and light! Fang Cai said that he was worried that other places would learn from him, and if he could really get the praise of the people like Nanchang, and he could collect more taxes and silver, he thought it was completely okay to learn from this kind of example. Otherwise, it can't be generalized! In the past few days, Jiangxi has frequently spread good news, retired Dongying Goryeo chess players, the words have become a dictionary, more than 100,000 victims have food and clothing, and then increase commercial taxes, what Li Gonggong said is that on this eventful autumn, Shu Tingxuan is the pillar of the country! “
Emperor Longxing nodded slightly: "I also hope that there will be a model everywhere!" If they can increase tax revenue by 20%, if they can all get the support of local colleagues, the people will praise them. Without interrogation, without going through the Criminal Department, I don't need to collude, so what's the harm in killing all those ruffians?! However, to prevent the indiscriminate killing of innocent people, we must also see whether Nanchang is in vain. Didn't you send a messenger to Nanchang a few days ago to check on the victims and participate in the ceremony of the naturalization of the word collection? Add an article to investigate whether what the militia did this time is really a praise of the people! The people support! “
Zhang Wei looked around, and was about to open his mouth to answer, but he didn't seem to catch his breath, and he gasped a few times before he said: "Emperor Shengming, in this case, the cabinet has added a holy decree to the three envoys." The final handling of the militia killings will be decided according to the results of the investigation. ”
Emperor Longxing glanced at Zhang Wei: "Just follow what Zhang Ge said." He said with concern on his face: "Zhang Ge is not feeling well? ”
"The emperor is bothered, it may be that the weather has been hot and humid in recent days, and the ministers are greedy for coolness at night, and the cold accidentally enters the body." Zhang Wei gasped a few more times: "I think it's okay, the minister should be fine if he takes care of himself." ”
Emperor Longxing said: "Don't be careless Zhang Ge Lao, you have to take good care of your body and bones, and I will take Imperial Doctor Zhang to take a look at Zhang Ge Lao later." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
