Chapter 145
Wang Xijue's days of suffering have come.
There was that incident at noon, although everyone didn't say it in their hearts, but they still had a lot of opinions. Not to mention whether this god is fair or unfair, but as the chief assistant of the imperial court, you are so out of shape that you even want to cut the prisoner with your own hands! How can such behavior be the head of a hundred officials? Besides, this matter should have been your responsibility in the first place, why are the three kings combined? Since God has proved that Zhu Yidao was wronged, naturally I have to find you for this matter!
So the scolding of Wang Xijue flew to the cabinet like snowflakes again. Zhao Zhigao and several others actually have opinions in their hearts, after all, the cabinet is embarrassed, and the ministers must be muttering in their hearts, this cabinet bachelor is such a behavior? Is this still a scholar who reads poetry? And it further developed to the point of questioning Wang Xijue himself.
After Shen Shi walked, Wang Xijue put out fires everywhere like a firefighter, but unfortunately he was alone after all, and he returned to the emperor's way and carried a black pot for him. Finally, when he saw that the emperor pulled Zhu Yidao out to take the blame, and he could finally be freed, he inexplicably came out of a solar eclipse. Everyone still believes in this, especially Cai Desheng, the supervisor of Qintian, who wants to stop the emperor from killing Zhu Yidao, which makes everyone feel that there must be something strange about this matter.
As a result, rumors about Wang Xijue's single-handedly planned this unjust prison began to spread quietly in Beijing. His situation became more and more difficult, although the students blushed and argued with others, saying that their teacher was dedicated to the emperor, but in the end they were so questioned by everyone, which was really unkind. But there is an old saying that if three people become tigers, everyone says so, then it must be true. Wang Xijue couldn't turn over completely.
In July of the seventeenth year of Wanli, Wang Xijue officially submitted his resignation to the emperor and asked to go home for the elderly. Wanli resolutely did not approve. You old man can't leave, but the cabinet can still help me carry the black cauldron, if you leave, I really can't help it! Zhu Yidao's guy is not convenient to appear now, let him rest and rest during this time!
But an incident happened that completely ruined Wang Xijue's precarious future.
The seventeenth year of Wanli happens to be the year of Jingcha, that is, the year of the assessment of the five grades of hundreds of officials and ministers. This ** star is a super stubborn character, compared to Hai Rui back then, he is better than the blue, this person does not prostitute or gamble for bad money, but only attaches importance to integrity and reputation. Let this person preside over Jingcha, everyone's good days are over.
As soon as the connoisseur makes a move, he will know if there is one. The first to be dismissed was Wang Sanyu in the matter, and the other was Lu Yinchang, a member of the Wenxuan Division. Everyone suddenly lost interest in studying who should be appointed as the crown prince, because these two people are not big officials, but their status is very special: Wang Sanyu is the in-law of **Xing, and Lu Yinchang is the nephew of **Xing. directly took his relatives under the knife, the meaning is very obvious: don't think about anyone's life this year!
Sure enough, there are still places in the six departments and six departments, and suddenly a large number of people dismounted, which was crying and shouting, wailing all over the field! Even the cabinet suffered, Zhao Zhigao's younger brother was driven back to his hometown, and several of Wang Xijue's hardcore cronies were forced to resign. Zhao Zhigao is more kind-hearted, and he doesn't say anything, he goes home when he goes home, and he can't complain about the government. But Wang Xijue is different.
In his opinion, this is a deliberate act of ** star. Knowing that they are his cronies, knowing that he is the first assistant, but still doing this, what is the intention? Do you think that my Wang has no ability? Look down on me, can you be a king? There must be ulterior motives in this matter!
No matter how wrong he is, he is still the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty! When the old man overthrew Zhang Juzheng with everyone, your **star was still breastfeeding in the arms of the old lady! Fight me?!
Soon, under his deliberate arrangement, several students who were officials began to work in the cabinet, expressing doubts and dissatisfaction with the current Jingcha and personnel arrangements of the Ministry of Officials. Anyway, I'm trying to find a way to pick thorns, as long as I want to pick, I'm afraid I won't be able to pick thorns? However, this ** star is indeed enough to dig, and he actually argued, saying how he acted impartially, but these people made trouble from it and tried to interfere with the law of the imperial court.
Whether there is interference with the law of the imperial court, the emperor has the most right to speak. Because Wanli himself also feels that Wang Xijue's prestige is not as good as before, and his prestige must be maintained, otherwise the cabinet will not be able to control the subordinates, and things will not be able to be done. And although Wanli didn't have any trouble with Wang Xijue, the officials questioned him constantly. Soon, the emperor issued a holy decree: Sun Long will be fined for one year, and the ** star official will be demoted.
This aroused the dissatisfaction of other officials. Overnight, Li Shida, the imperial history of the left capital, Yu Kongjian and others in the Ministry of Rites and Langzhong appeared and attacked one after another, and Wang Xijue once again became the target of the attack. Everyone severely refuted him, deliberately suppressed officials, and unreasonably suppressed the correct behavior of subordinate officials, and should publicly apologize to ** Xing and restore his position. This can make Wang Xijue angry! **Xing didn't do anything to you, if he had noticed your head, I'm afraid you wouldn't have said that? Jingcha will honestly Jingcha, don't do anything in it! He has bad intentions, and this is the retribution he deserves.
The two sides suddenly talked and slashed, you come and go, although Zhao Zhigao and others did not wave their flags and shout, they also stood on Wang Xijue's side with a clear banner. The cabinet and the courtiers also fought together, which is what Wanli wants to see, if the cabinet and the courtiers stand in a trench, then they will be miserable. But it's still the same sentence, Shousuke's prestige must be maintained, and those with ulterior motives must be severely cracked down!
So Wanli didn't pay attention to those who scolded Wang Xijue, but issued a strange decree: Sun Long was completely dismissed, and **Xing was directly cut to become a common person.
This trick works extremely well. Soon everyone stopped. Wanli was very happy, but Wang Xijue was very painful. After such a toss, he completely lost his prestige in the court, because everyone spread everywhere that **Xing was not afraid of power and was dedicated to the country, but he was brutally and brutally attacked by the tyrannical and harsh King Xijue! Although Xing became a common man, he became famous overnight, and his prestige was in full swing, and although he returned home, he often went to visit him.
**Star is so positive in everyone's minds, then Wang Xijue is naturally a super villain.
This Shoufu really can't be deserved...... Wang Xijue recalled Zhang Juzheng and Shen Shixing again, when the two of them were the first assistants, why didn't they have so much trouble and so much trouble? Zhang Juzheng's strength and Shen Shixing's smoothness deeply made Wang Xijue feel ashamed. I am not as good as them, far worse! Every day, just fighting with the officials of the six ministries and six departments makes him unable to cope, and these people often have extremely deep backgrounds behind them. No one will be dissatisfied with the cabinet for no reason, only spying with ulterior motives, and if a person who does not deal with it well and allows them to catch the handle, they may be in a place of no return overnight!
Now the situation in the imperial court is really wrong, this degraded official has become a typical example and achieved fame, but the officials in the position have been suppressed by all sides, and even the officials who have always been neutral have been artificially divided into factions, what Zhejiang Party, Yu Party, Jingshi Party...... When the party fights together, things will be difficult to do! Daming will be caught in endless infighting from now on! Wang Xijue only felt that all thoughts were burning and he was powerless. That's it, that's it, whoever wants to do it! The old man can't do anything......
In the year of Wanli, he was recalled to the imperial court as the first assistant, and in the seventeenth year of Wanli, he was forced to resign. It took a year. Decades of walking on thin ice, conscientious and conscientious, have achieved a great thing, strict self-discipline, serious and fair work, and painstakingly accumulated reputation, but lost all in this year. Wang Xijue vaguely remembered that Zhang Juzheng had said such a sentence before, what was Shoufu used for? It's to help the emperor carry the black cauldron! However, it is still very difficult to carry the black pot and deal with the national economy and people's livelihood. No wonder he can be like a day for ten years, he Zhang Ju is an official and a good worker!
Wanli didn't approve it, so he could only reluctantly allow Wang Xijue to go home for the elderly. But the cabinet can't do without the first assistant? So he asked everyone to recommend and recommend them to see who else could take on the responsibility of the first assistant. Wang Xijue is gone, and it is naturally the cabinet that can be replaced, everyone studied and studied, and decided to let Zhao Zhigao take the position. But Zhao Zhigao is a kind person, knowing that he is far inferior to Wang Xijue, let him face the fierce ministers and officials, and he will not do it, and he will not do it if he is killed. But if you don't do it, you won't do it? The emperor's decree is that if you don't do it, you have to do it! So Zhao Zhigao was extremely reluctant to become the first assistant.
Before he sat in this position, he was already afraid of Shousuke, and now that he was sitting in this position, he only felt that what was sitting under his ass was not a throne of ten thousand people under one person, but a huge powder keg, and he didn't know when it would explode. Every day when he was the first assistant, Zhao Zhigao couldn't sleep at night, and dreamed that a group of officials were impassioned, claiming that this person was guilty of 480 articles, not only could he not continue to work, but he had to be cut down to the people, and the court staff was 100! To be an official, Zhao Zhigao can be described as the first person in the Ming Dynasty.
Finally calmed down, Wanli felt greatly relieved, and the roots of his ears were finally clean. But good things don't come often, bad things don't stop, and an 800-mile urgent secret letter from Banzhou Jinyiwei dragged the entire Ming Dynasty into trouble.
Yang Yinglong reversed.
