Chapter 133
Zhu Yidao was sleeping, Jiang Guangtou broke into the prison in a hurry, and lifted the straw covering his body: "Get up, don't sleep!" The emperor has a will! Lao Zhu opened his eyes in a daze, what's the matter, is he going to release me? It's been a long time since I think of me, hey, it's still comfortable here, you don't have to worry about anything every day, and there are people who listen to your own stories, how nice!
Jiang Guangtou mysteriously approached him and whispered into his ear: "Shen Shi is walking!" ”
Old Zhu Huo sat up, what? Shen Shixing actually died?
Jiang Guangtou touched his head awkwardly and said, "It's not that I'm dead, I took the initiative to hand over my resignation, and the emperor approved it!" ”
I said it earlier, but I was excited. Lao Zhu rubbed his sleepy eyes very dissatisfied, and asked lazily, "Why did he want to leave?" So who should be the head of the cabinet now? ”
Jiang Guangtou couldn't say this clearly, but urged him to get up and go to the palace quickly, the emperor was angry at this moment, and asked him to take Zhu Yidao with him quickly. Lao Zhu put on his clothes slowly and moved slowly. What else can the emperor do to find him? is nothing more than carrying the black pot, he is already a recognized black pot professional in the Ming Dynasty, and he has to do the work that offends people, and he has to sit on his own. Life is really unbearable.
When I went to the palace, Wanli was going back and forth, and the ground was a pile of rotten dishes. As soon as he saw Zhu Yidao, he hurriedly beckoned the waiter to bring the chair over and let him sit, where did poor old Zhu dare to sit? Just stood there with his hands down and his head down, waiting for Wanli to distribute the black cauldron.
Tang Xianzu, the director of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, impeached Shen Shixing, and Wanli's reaction was not unpleasant, and he immediately sent this guy to Xu Wen in Guangdong to pawn history; Immediately after that, Fujian thrifty Li Kun fired a cannon, and the target was still Shen Shixing, but this time it was not so polite, and directly listed Shen Shixing's ten major crimes, and in the blink of an eye, Shen Shixing became a public enemy of the courtiers, worse than Zhu Yidao.
Wanli was even more polite, and directly removed this guy's position.
Although the emperor was protected, Shen Shixing did not feel happy in his heart, on the contrary, he had a hunch that maybe he would never be able to get along with the mud again this time. Now that the courtiers have liked the professional activities of impeachment and angry scolding, except for Wanli and Zhu Yidao, who is still in prison, I am afraid that it will soon be their turn. Wait! Wait until next year, once the emperor breaks the appointment, then everyone's goal will turn to him, and he may be freed!
But no one thought that Tang Xianzu's was just the beginning, not the end. The courtiers, who had been silent for a while, felt the need to move their muscles and bones and practice their mouths. Although the emperor dealt with the two people, but the law does not blame the public, he can't get all the ministers down? According to the emperor's character who would rather do less than more, this time he will definitely be the winner.
So a group of courtiers began to fire frantically and collectively at Wanli.
This time the first shot was Zhang Youde, the director of the Ministry of Industry, who had a long history, and he must be crowned the prince as soon as possible, otherwise the country will be unstable.
Wanli reacted immediately. I know that you old foxes can't bear the loneliness, and they will definitely bother me. It's okay, since you're all there, don't blame us for being polite. He first fined him a year's salary, and then publicly stated that since his behavior had violated my holy decree that he should not do this for one year, the matter of making a prince was postponed indefinitely.
He felt that he was taking advantage of the reason this time, and the big guy couldn't do anything about him. But this idea turned out to be wishful thinking.
Because in the eyes of the ministers, the matter of establishing a prince is a matter of course, and the emperor has been delaying since the eldest son of the emperor was five or six years old, and it has been delayed until now, which is already very out of line with the ancestral system; Now he is talking about officials again, and maliciously announcing that the establishment of the crown prince will be postponed, which is even more unacceptable to all people who love Daming.
However, at this time, Wanli, who had experienced countless confrontations between monarchs and ministers, had already prepared enough for these, and he could calculate what the follow-up means of these people were with his eyes closed. It's nothing more than crying, making trouble, and hanging, and then kneeling outside the noon gate and waiting for the court staff!
But when the next letter was delivered, Wanli was first dumbfounded, and then angry. The content of this letter is still the same, but it is signed by three people: Shen Shixing, Xu Guo, and Wang Jiaping.
How to fight against the ministers before, the cabinet has always stood on the same front with itself, even if it is threatened to resign, it is not like now, openly enemies of the emperor, and stands with the officials! As soon as this case is opened, the consequences are unimaginable! What is the Cabinet? It is the emperor's think tank, the last barrier between the emperor and the hundred officials, and now even the cabinet is backwater, and he will soon be unable to play with himself. What's even more terrifying is that if this forms a kind of atmosphere, then the cabinet can not listen to itself, and the following will definitely go their own way and not take me to heart.
Especially Shen Shixing, who raised this guy to the cabinet as the first assistant, is to let him do things for me, not for him to do things for the officials! The head of the cabinet is actually a little daughter-in-law, who has to take care of her in-laws, take care of her children, and serve her husband in the middle, and its function should be coordinated in the middle; But now it's good, this daughter-in-law actually joined forces with the children below and colluded to bully her in-laws, how can this work? In the past, Shen Shixing knew how to say a few words for himself, but this time he didn't even say hello, and directly stood on the side of the ministers! So what do I want you to do as the head of the cabinet?
Wanli pondered for a long time and decided to send an attendant to reprimand and question Shen Shixing. Why do you want to do this to me? I treat you well! I have given you face several times in the confrontation with the ministers, why are you so reckless this time?
After Shen Shixing sent off the inner servant, he was still in a daze and didn't wake up on his mobile phone to see the visit xom Shenlai. Because he didn't know about it! It took him a long time before he realized that the thing must be like this: this note was written by Xu Guo, and then asked Wang Jiaping to sign it; After Wang Jiaping signed his name, he pondered, Shen Shixing's old fox would definitely not sign, so he simply signed it with him! The cabinet is just a family, and at this time, we have to be in the same boat! And just like that, he dragged himself into the water.
He hurriedly asked his subordinates to call the chamberlain back, and then told him that he really didn't know about it! The name must have been signed by the two forwarders! But thinking about it, I always feel that something is wrong, I am afraid that the chamberlain will go back and pass on bad words, after all, this matter is a bit outrageous, the three people in the cabinet have always been one, how could the emperor believe that the two of them put aside the other person to sign on their behalf? No, I still have to explain the situation to the emperor, and this time I have to stand on the emperor's side.
So Shen Shixing decided to write a secret letter to Wanli, to the effect that I really don't know about this, but the emperor doesn't need to panic, the emperor can make his own decisions about this matter.
His abacus played very well, he seriously admitted his mistakes to the emperor, honestly gave the emperor ideas, and then stood firmly on his side and let him make his own ideas. If you are a cabinet, you must not offend the emperor or the emperor. Let the emperor make his own decisions, in fact, it shows his attitude: I will not participate in this matter.
Wanli is certainly very happy! Shen Shixing's non-participation is a credit! As long as he doesn't make trouble with his ministers, he doesn't have so many scruples. So he replied to him with a secret letter, asking him to recuperate at home with peace of mind, and he already had an idea about it.
Governor Shen Shi let out a long breath, this is the end of the matter! Don't toss anymore, the old man is already old, and he is looking forward to honorably retiring and enjoying his old age. But he didn't expect it, and Wanli didn't expect it, that the bad thing was in that secret letter.
In fact, Wanli is still to blame for this. Within a few days, a batch of official documents were placed on Wanli's desk as usual, although he was not in court, it did not mean that he did not care. After reading it, I felt that there was no problem, so I sent these official documents to the cabinet and asked them to vote on their own. Without paying attention, this secret letter was also entrained.
It's like taking a lot of wonderful photos and then storing them on the computer to enjoy for yourself; Suddenly, one day the computer broke down, and the photos were not deleted and they were repaired. This is a matter of human life.
This secret letter was transferred to the cabinet, Shen Shixing was on sick leave, and Xu Guo didn't pay attention to it, so he sent the secret letter to the Ministry of Rites.
In the matter of the Ministry of Rites, Luo Daqiu took the secret letter in his hand, and he was very angry. The idol of this benevolent brother is Master Hai Rui, so you can imagine what kind of person he is. The key is that in this secret letter, Shen Shixing was afraid that the emperor would be influenced by other ministers, so he specially added: Only cut off the pro-judgment, don't interfere with the ceremony because of the ministers. To put it bluntly, the emperor should do it yourself, and don't affect the overall situation because of some small ministers.
Of course, Luo Daqiu has reason to be angry: We are ministers, and you are Shen Shixing as ministers?!
However, at this time, Shen Shixing had already realized that the secret letter might have been leaked, and he was very nervous, so he quickly found Luo Daqiu's direct leader, Hu Runing, who was in the middle of the matter. Let him negotiate with Luo Daqiu to see if this matter can be left like this, of course, the benefits still have to be given! Never let Luo Daqiu suffer!
But Luo Daqiu doesn't eat this set at all! You still use the division to press me? Lord Shen, you can't help but think too highly of me?! He didn't say a word, he stabbed this matter out of the city, and scolded Shen Shixing, a villain, who was two-faced and stabbed, how could such a person be the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty? !
The officials were taken aback! Why did even Shousuke become such a person? Everyone then concentrated their firepower on Shen Shixing. Including the Ministry of Officials, the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Works, and the Principal, etc., Shen Shixing was approved decently, and his head was broken and bleeding.
Of course, Wanli will not be polite, come and collect as much as you want! Soon the men were fined their wages and then fired. He thought that this was the end of the matter, but Shen Shixing felt that he could not do it anymore.
Shen Shixing, who is already over the age of old, feels deeply tired at this time! So many years of forbearance, so many years of harmony, but finally planted on this side. As long as you can hold on for another year, at most a year, you can retire. When the time comes, you will be flooded! A place where the old man is free! It's a pity, it's a pity, how can I walk by the river without getting my shoes wet, a hundred dense and sparse, a hundred dense and sparse......
Shen Shixing immediately pleaded for his resignation, but Wanli resolutely refused to approve. But this time, Lao Shen was really moved, iron-hearted, and resolutely quit. It's already too late, so why bother to be scolded in this position? The old man is not Zhu Yidao, that girl is thick-skinned; The old man is already old, and he can't bear such an insult! I resolutely don't do it anymore. Emperor, please be smart!
Wanli painfully approved the resignation.
