Chapter 586: Impeachment in front of the palace

Emperor Hongzhi's meaning, about the Quanzhou Mansion and the Francophone people to fight the meritorious reward, to wait for the Francophone envoys to arrive in the capital to discuss.

In fact, there is nothing to discuss, that is, to give Quanzhou local meritorious personnel to resist the enemy to be promoted and rewarded, the Ming Dynasty has clear provisions on the determination of military merits and rewards and punishments, but this time is different from the past, Zhang Lian and others are civil ministers, and the rank of civil ministers can not be promoted like a military career.

Wang Shouren was responsible for going to Quanzhou to reward meritorious personnel, and set off in early April. By the end of April, the matter had subsided slightly, and the Quanzhou government's impeachment of Shen Xi was sent to the capital.

Zhang Lian, the prefect of Quanzhou, impeached Shen Xi for his own use, not only did not complete the imperial mission, but also almost caused the Buddha Lang machine to knock on the gate. In the end, although he won, it still led to the looting and slaughter of the people when the Francophone people retreated, and Shen Xi's crime is unforgivable!

As soon as this recital came to Xie Qian's hands, Xie Qian was taken aback, he had also thought that Shen Xi was still young after all, and he might do some indecent things, and seeing that Shen Xi was competing with the Mongolian envoy Yi Si Ma Yin and others in the court that day, he felt that this young man was a little young and crazy.

Zhang Lian's performance is exactly what Xie Qian is worried about.

Xie Qian wanted to suppress the matter out of selfishness, but he didn't dare to assert such a big matter.

After Li Dongyang read this recital, he said "ridiculous" a few times one after another, and it was obvious that Li Dongyang was very disappointed with what Shen Xi had done.

"Brother Bin, I think it's better to wait for the people involved to arrive in the capital before making a judgment?" Xie Qian had an embarrassed look on his face.

At present, Zhang Lian won the battle in Quanzhou, and more and more copies of the Fujian local recitals were transmitted back to the capital, and this matter was basically determined, and even the Hongzhi Emperor wanted to change his previous decision, and immediately rewarded Zhang Lian for promotion, Xie Qianben was complacent in recommending Shen Xi to Quanzhou, so he made a fuss about Zhang Lian's impeachment of Shen Xi.

Zhang Lian is a great hero in the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi at the moment, and what the hero said is very credible in the eyes of Zhu Youjiao, the monarch, not to mention that all these performances are reasonable and reasonable, and they fit the theme of "Shen Zhongyun is young and vigorous", even Xie Qian believed it when he saw it, let alone Emperor Hongzhi.

Li Dongyang shook his head unceremoniously and said, "Yu Qiao has a heart for him, why don't I?" Such a smart person may not be able to be a good official if he has made achievements in learning, and he owes the fire after all. The matter is still at the disposal of His Majesty. You have to intercede for him, and I will not stop you, but you must not hide it from you! ”

Liu Jian has not yet returned from his illness, and Li Dongyang is equivalent to the temporary first assistant, saying one thing or another, even Xie Qian can't refute it.

So the impeachment of Shen Xi was finally sent to Emperor Hongzhi.

Overnight, the hero who assisted Zhang Lian in winning a great victory against foreign countries became a criminal minister, and depending on the situation, it was not a simple reform of his functions, at least he would be removed from his reputation and never hired.

Emperor Hongzhi was extremely angry about this, and he also said it in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty at noon, without the slightest tone of discussion, which was equivalent to saying hello in front of the ministers, and he was about to surrender Shen Xi's guilt.

From this point of view, Shen Xi is not a question of whether he is guilty or not, but a question of how much he is guilty, and even Zhang Lian, a "hero", did not intercede for Shen Xi, which shows how serious the consequences of Shen Xi provoking the Franc machine people in the local area are.

Emperor Hongzhi is angry, it stands to reason that the minister should not speak at this time, even if he prefers Shen Xi's talents, he can only hope that the emperor's punishment of Shen Xi will be lighter, and it is better to demote him than to dismiss him and not hire him.

But at this moment, two Shangshu stood up resolutely, making it clear that they wanted to protect Shen Xi, and their words were all-for-tat with the emperor's words, which meant not giving the emperor face.

Even Zhu Youzhi didn't expect that Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng would go against him for a small Zhan Shifu Right Zhongyun.

“…… Your Majesty, this matter has not yet been clarified, and if the local government intends to deceive, I am afraid it will confuse the public! Ma Wensheng's words were very harsh, because of his long-term mixed practice, Ma Wensheng's temperament was closer to that of a military general, and his prestige was revealed, even cabinet scholars like Li Dongyang and Xie Qian were inferior.

The ministers did not speak, and only Zhang Heling, who was closely following the footsteps of Emperor Hongzhi at any time, stood up and confronted Ma Wensheng: "Ma Shangshu is saying that Governor Zhang will frame that Shen Xi?" But he does not know what good he is doing so? ”

Zhang Heling admires Shen Xi, but this appreciation is more akin to exploitation.

Zhang Heling himself looked down on Shen Xi, who was born in business, but he knew that Shen Xi had the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce behind him, and he was a little smart, but when he encountered the problem of confrontation with Ma Wensheng, he did not hesitate to abandon Shen Xi and use Shen Xi as a tool to attack Ma Wensheng.

Liu Daxia came forward to play: "Your Majesty, as far as the old minister knows, the local government has concealed the performance of the war, Shen Zhongyun may want to expose this matter, and it is jealous of the local government, so he will attract participation!" ”

Zhu Youji's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "Why did Liu Shangshu say this?" ”

At this time, Yu Niang's letter had arrived in the capital, and Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng learned that in fact, the so-called local prefect Yamen won a big victory, which Zhang Lian boasted about.

The real situation is that Zhang Lian accepted bribes from the Franc machine man to lure the wolf into the house, when the Franc machine man killed the people in the coastal village, Zhang Lian turned a blind eye, and when the Franc machine man bombarded the port of Thorn Tong, Zhang Lian was even more closed to the city gate and could not shrink, but Shen Xi personally led people to fight with the Franc man, and finally won a big victory, but Zhang Lian stole the credit.

In order to avoid the matter being exposed, Zhang Lian sued the wicked first and impeached Shen Xi first.

Liu Daxia was not very easy to explain at this time, because he did not have the emperor's permission to send someone to investigate the prefect of a place without permission, and there was no evidence of Zhang Lian's conclusive crime, so he could not convict Zhang Lian at all.

Even if they can't tell the truth, Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng still discussed, how can they not let Zhang Lian's conspiracy succeed, which will make the court deceived by villains, and once the truth is revealed, it will make the court laugh at the world.

As for how Shen Xi will be punished, it is not what Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng care about, they are just protecting Shen Xi while protecting the justice of the imperial court.

Liu Daxia gritted his teeth and said, "Please postpone this matter to your majesty." ”

If it was just one person who came out to intercede for Shen Xi, Zhu Youzhu could have ignored it, but now the two important ministers of the household department and the military department came out together and said that even if he was angry, he had to endure it.

Zhu Youzhu is not a willful emperor, what kind of character Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng are, he knows better than anyone that these two people will not openly contradict him in order to punish a small person, and there are many strange things about the battle of Quanzhou itself, or there is really something hidden behind it.

Instead of condemning the two loyal ministers now, it is better to wait for the people to return to the capital and then deal with them, even if Shen Xi is convicted at that time, Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng will not say anything

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhu nodded and said: "Then we will discuss the matter of merit together after the envoy arrives in the capital!" ”

Zhang Heling hated to knock Ma Wensheng down immediately, he thought to himself: "My brother-in-law's previous anger was in the eyes of everyone, and I thought that no one could be reversed, but it was he and the surnamed Liu who came out and said two words, which made my brother-in-law change his mind, which is really angry." I'm going to talk to my sister and add a fire. ”

Coming out of the palace, Zhang Heling knew that Empress Zhang was going to the palace to accompany the prince, so he found an opportunity to meet him.

During the days when Shen Xi was not in the capital, Zhu Houzhao only played Keju every day in addition to studying, but over time, from the initial waste of sleeping and forgetting to eat to now listless.

No matter how fun things are, they will get tired of playing for a long time, Zhu Houzhao himself can't kick Keju, he will simply kick around, let him set up a merry eye to kick in, he really doesn't have that ability, and he doesn't think there is any point in kicking Keju into that small hole.

So Zhu Houzhao really wanted to find Shen Xi as soon as possible and ask what else to play with this Keju.

According to the rules, the queen is not allowed to go out of the inner curtain without authorization, even if she wants to see the prince, she must be summoned according to the rules, and after the emperor's permission, she can only see it on a specific day.

But who called the Hongzhi Dynasty that there was only one mistress in the palace?

Empress Zhang is not only the lord of the middle palace, but also the only wife of the emperor, this palace is like her own home, not only can she go to the East Palace freely to see her son, but even the uncle only needs to say hello to the guards when he enters and leaves the palace.

"My brother is too, what do you always do in the palace when you have nothing to do? The emperor was still saying two days ago, you two brothers have been doing some nonsense recently, let me discipline you well! ”

Empress Zhang said, still sewing a purse in her hand, which she prepared for her son. Empress Zhang doesn't have to think about how to compete with others for favor on weekdays, her husband cherishes her, and her son is even more smart and cute, she wants to do something for her son and fulfill her responsibilities as a mother.

Zhang Heling said: "Sister, you still don't know what happened. But he said that the right middle of the Zhan Mansion ......"

Zhang Heling roughly talked about Shen Xi's affairs in Quanzhou, Empress Zhang thought about it slightly, shook her head and said: "The affairs of the court, you don't talk about it in the future, my sister doesn't want to pay attention to it." You have time to visit your mother, who is always talking about you. ”

"Sister, why don't you understand me? Right now, His Majesty wants to punish the criminals, but it is Ma Shangshu and Liu Shangshu who come out to be disobedient, do you say Your Majesty can feel better? Sister should care about Your Majesty at this time......"

Zhang Heling didn't say that it was for his own interests, but said that he was considerate of the emperor, and sure enough, Empress Zhang immediately became nervous when she heard this.

As the king of a country, the husband should be true to his word and do whatever he wants, but now someone has come out to contradict him, making the husband feel uncomfortable, and he can't ignore it as a wife.

"Got it, you can go back. I'm going to ask the emperor what's going on. ”

Originally, Empress Zhang was going to stay in the East Palace for a while, but at this time, she saw that her son was only interested in playing, and she didn't come to accompany her, and she was worried about her husband, so she took the palace people back and went directly to the Qianqing Palace to see Zhu Youji.

Empress Zhang thought that her husband was really sulking as her brother said, but when she arrived, she realized that Zhu Youzhu was sitting there reviewing the recital, and her face was not gloomy.

"Why is the queen here? Stand down! ”

When Zhu Youzhu saw his wife, a touch of warmth came to his heart, and he was ready to say two words to his wife. But it was inconvenient for outsiders after all, so they retired from the eunuch.

When there were only two people left in the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhu smiled and took his wife into his arms, to say that Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang should maintain their prestige in front of people on weekdays, but in private, they are still very emotional, which is also the reason why Empress Zhang can envelop her husband.

As Empress Zhang said her worries, Zhu Youzhu smiled and said: "Don't listen to Heling's nonsense, Liu Shangshu and Ma Shangshu are both my shares, how can I be angry with them?" ”

Empress Zhang said with a little resentment: "Then Heling is not the emperor's humerus?" ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled and comforted him, which made his wife smile.
