Chapter 271: The Great Imperial Meeting
"Master Li, isn't there something wrong with this?" Wang Yongji looked at Li Biao and said with a little hesitation.
Li Biao was quite unimpressed, and said with a light smile: "How is it inappropriate? The notice has been under for half a month, right? This Wu Qingbo Mansion still didn't react, why didn't we seize his garden? ”
"Didn't we say that if the notice is less than half a month, it will be seized."
Wang Yongji looked at Li Biao helplessly, yes, we are talking about seizure, but are you sealing? You're just going to move things back to the house. Wang Yongji found out that Li Biao was not much better than Xing Shangzhi here.
"Lord Wang, let's give an ultimatum!" Li Biao looked at Wang Yongji: "In the last three days, if the Wuqing Bofu does not come to pay off the land payment and fines, will this garden be confiscated?" ”
So far, it can only be like this, Wang Yongji waved his hand and said to the people behind him: "Give the ultimatum to the steward, let him go back to Wuqingbo's mansion to report the news." ”
"Yes, sir!" The scribe agreed, and hurriedly walked into Tsinghua Garden to find the steward.
Wu Qingbo's Tsinghua Garden was seized, this matter is definitely not a trivial matter, and it is very noisy. Especially in the western suburbs with gardens, it can be said that it has caused an uproar.
However, the imperial court's attention is not on this at all now, and no one pays attention to this matter.
I can't make trouble if I want to, everyone is working hard for the Taoist system now, who still has the heart to care about the broken garden in your western suburbs. I wanted to make trouble about it, but no one paid attention to it at all.
On the contrary, on the side of the imperial court, as soon as the recitals of several scholars in the cabinet came out, it instantly caused an uproar.
Originally, the science of science and mind pointed the spearhead at Neo-Confucianism, and it was inextricable to fight, except for a small number of defenders, most of them were speculators, and the sense of existence flew up.
But no one expected that at this critical time, the cabinet would actually make such a recital.
For a while, public opinion in the court was completely chaotic, and countless people began to write books, some of them lashed out at the cabinet, and some of them slapped the cabinet's sycophants. The folk are the same, arguing about a boiling pot.
Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.
Zhu Yijun listened to Zhang Whale's report and nodded: "I know!" ”
Zhang Whale reported on the recent situation in the capital, and Jinyiwei seized Tsinghua Park. This Zhu Yijun had expected it a long time ago, and Li Biao's ruthless action did not surprise Zhu Yijun.
In fact, the cultivation of the inner factory was more inclined to Legalism from the very beginning.
In the eyes of these people, except for the emperor is the law, there are no other people at all, and they don't care about other things at all. The emperor has a great favor to them, adopts them, and gives them a future, this is the king treats me as a countryman, and I will repay them as a countryman.
Playing with two jade balls in his hand, Zhu Yijun opened his mouth and asked, "Xu De is going back, right?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Gonggong Xu sent a letter yesterday, that is, these few days." Zhang Whale hurriedly replied.
Zhu Yijun nodded, this time it was a big vote, and Zhu Yijun naturally had to hold all his strength tightly. After thinking about it, Zhu Yijun said: "Let Zhang Cheng keep an eye on me in the army." ”
"Pass the order to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, whether it is the Beijing Camp or the Forbidden Army, and you must not act without a will."
"Send a message to Qi Jiguang and Zhang Weixian, asking them to speed up and strive to rush to the capital within seven days. In addition, the decree was sent to the government offices inside and outside the capital, guarding the yamen and strictly preventing people from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. ”
"Dongchang and Jinyiwei supervise the inside and outside of the capital, so as not to let the small people have a chance."
Zhang Jing hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will go to deliver the decree." ”
Zhu Yijun waved his hand: "Wait a minute, by the way, the cabinet and the hundred officials, on the first day of the next month, all the civil and military officials above the fourth rank in the capital will wait for the decree in the Imperial Palace, and I will hold a great court meeting." ”
Hearing Zhu Yijun's words, Zhang Whale suddenly had a stir, and hurriedly said loudly: "The slave is going to pass the decree." ”
A grand court meeting was held in the Imperial Palace, and all civil and military officials above the fourth rank in the capital had to participate, which had never happened since the emperor ascended the throne. The emperor held a grand ceremony in the Imperial Palace, and this Zhang Whale and the civil and military officials all knew.
For example, the emperor ascended the throne, the emperor's wedding, the empress, and the order of the generals, in addition to the annual opening of the court, the emperor received the congratulations of the civil and military officials here, and gave a banquet to the princes and ministers.
But that kind of big court meeting is basically a heavier taste of etiquette, rather than really discussing in the Imperial Palace.
This time, the emperor not only wants to hold a grand court meeting, but also uses the imperial palace, which is a great thing! Zhang Whale walked out, his heart was beating, Da Ming was afraid that the sky was going to change.
Now there is a lot of disturbance in the court, and any bit of news will cause an uproar.
In fact, the whole court is waiting for news from the emperor, after all, the various factions are in chaos now, but everyone knows that at this time, the emperor does not speak, and they can't fight for a reason.
But what will the emperor do? At this time, it is important to take sides.
This kind of political standing is more important than winning the heir, and if you stand on the wrong team, the end can be imagined. Standing in line, it is inevitable to soar, so what does the emperor think?
Unlike the people, the officials in the court have their own scales in their hearts.
This time, the four scholars of the cabinet wrote together, and the emperor held a grand court meeting in the Imperial Palace, what does this mean? You don't need to have a keen sense of smell, and if you can't guess it, you don't have to be an official.
In addition, there were four scholars behind the promotion, and the Chonggu School was very popular for a while.
That night, Xu De finally returned to the palace and came to the palace as soon as possible.
Looking at Xu De who was kneeling on the ground, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Okay!" Get up! When Xu De stood up, Zhu Yijun continued: "This time the errand was done well, and I am very relieved. ”
"This is all thanks to the emperor's blessing." Xu De hurriedly bowed and said.
Zhu Yijun smiled and nodded, recently Zhu Yijun has been a little immune to patting sycophants, but compared to civil officials, Xu De's sycophants are nothing at all. I am used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, and then I eat simple meals, and finally I feel that it is not enough to taste.
"I was going to give you a few days off, but now I can't." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "There are many things in the capital, you have to be busy, and the inner factory must be fully mobilized this time." ”
"Detect the hundreds of officials in the capital, find out those who spread inappropriate remarks, and let me find out."
"Mobilize all the forces of the inner factory in Gyeonggi, advocate the Chonggu school, and spread the doctrine of the four cabinet scholars. Spread the names of the four bachelors of Zhongxing, so that people know that the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is coming. ”
If things get out of control, Zhu Yijun will not hesitate to engage in a literary prison.
Although this will be a bad start, it is an extraordinary way to use extraordinary times. What I want to do is a big thing, and I must show courage, in Zhang Juzheng's words, Laneige is blocking the way, and I will get rid of it!
Xu De hurriedly bowed down and said, "Yes, Emperor, after the slave and maid go back, we will arrange manpower immediately." ”
When the news that Zhu Yijun was going to hold a court meeting spread, it instantly shook the entire capital. Apparently everyone knows that this is the time for results.
For a while, countless people rushed to shout, wanting to take advantage of this duel.
Originally, the psychology and science were still fighting, but now they have the same hatred and hatred. The two sides ran everywhere, looking for like-minded people, and began to unite, wanting to have an advantage in the court.
Some officials in the field of psychology and science also began to impeach Shen Shixing and several other scholars.
Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.
Looking at the piles of twists and turns in front of him, Zhu Yijun sighed helplessly, and said to Zhang Whale who was serving him: "Let people separate these twists and turns, and send those who impeach the cabinet scholars to be burned." ”
"In favor of the Cabinet Scholars' recitals, all of them will remain in the middle."
If it is placed in the past, the emperor will not send it, which basically represents the emperor's attitude. But now in comparison, one is to keep it and not send it, and the other is to take it out and burn it, Zhu Yijun's attitude is more obvious.
It's really not obvious that Zhu Yijun can't think about it, things have come to this point, and success must be ensured.
Not only do you have to go down in person, but you can throw away the lower limit of discipline if necessary. If things fail, then you will be in big trouble. However, Zhu Yijun is not too worried about the failure of things, and he has united most of them this time.
Although they may not be the majority in quantity, they are the majority in quality.
"Emperor, Wu Qingbo has entered the palace!" After cleaning up the folds, Zhang Whale ran in with small steps, and said with a somewhat eager expression: "I have been summoned to Cining Palace by the Queen Mother." ”
Zhu Yijun nodded, raised his eyebrows, he really remembered to eat or not!
After the death of Wu Qingbo Li Wei, the successor to the title was his son Li Gao, who had a lot of vices on weekdays, and hooked up with the concubine Xu Congcheng, and pondered how to take advantage of the country all day long.
This Xu Congcheng may not be famous, but he has a grandson who is very famous, that is, the famous Xu Xianchun.
Wei Zhongxian's henchmen are also well-known cool officials.
Zhu Yijun originally thought that if Wu Qingbofu behaved a little more this time, he would not be too cruel to them, but he didn't expect it to be so virtuous. Why do these people either feel that they are privileged, or that they think that they are different from others, where do they get this self-confidence?
"I see." Zhu Yijun nodded, and then sat on the dragon chair and waited.
After waiting for a long time, Cining Palace didn't send anyone to come, but there was news coming over, and it was Zhang Hong who came to deliver the news. This celebrant is the eunuch in charge of the seal, and the eunuch of the Empress Dowager Li's henchman.
"Emperor, this is what the Queen Mother means." After Zhang Hong finished speaking, he bowed and retreated.
Zhu Yijun sighed and shook his head helplessly.
Empress Dowager Li didn't mean to interfere this time, and scolded Li Gao and reprimanded him with a disgraced face. The words are very clear, this is the law of the imperial court, why does Wuqing Bofu feel that he can be different.
After scolding, he directly drove Li Gao out of the palace.
After driving away Li Gao, Empress Dowager Li sent someone to deliver a message, telling Zhu Yijun to let go of his actions and not to worry about Wu Qingbo's mansion. Do what you have to do, don't delay the important affairs of the court for the sake of Wuqing Bofu.
Zhu Yijun sighed, originally he wanted to take this opportunity to learn from Li Gao, but now it seems that there is no play.
"Send the decree to Li Biao and let him handle it according to the normal procedures!" Zhu Yijun gave a faint order, and began to bow his head and continue to watch the twists and turns, the great court will be soon, so don't be distracted by these small things.
"Yes, Emperor!" Zhang Whale respectfully agreed.
Yamen of the Department of Taxation.
Wang Yongji sat in the duty room drinking tea, and not far from him was Li Biao. Glancing at Li Biao, Wang Yongji found that he was not in a hurry at all, and sighed in his heart, this person is really big-hearted.
Wu Qingbo entered the palace angrily, and he really could sit still.
In fact, Li Biao really didn't have any worries about his psychology, he was born in an inner factory, he knew that he was loyal to the emperor, and he also knew that the emperor would definitely not let them down. These people can give up their lives for the emperor, and the emperor will never dispose of himself because of this little thing.
Even if Wu Qingbo's mansion went to the palace to cry, Li Biao only had ridicule in his heart, and gave Wu Qingbo two words: useless!
When the two of them were drinking tea and waiting for news, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, and then a scribe led a little eunuch into from outside, obviously the news came.
"I've seen Lord Wang, I've seen Lord Li!" The little eunuch smiled and arched his hand to the two of them, and then he spoke: "Our family is here to pass on the message to Lord Li at the behest of the emperor. ”
Wang Yongji and Li Biao hurriedly picked up their clothes and knelt on the ground.
"Minister Li Biao, the minister and the king use Ji, please Sheng'an!"
The little eunuch arched his hand in the direction of the palace, and then said, "Holy bow! After saying this, the little eunuch continued: "The emperor said that rules are rules. ”
"If you set the rules, you will let people abide by them, otherwise you will set the rules and do anything."
"Li Biao, everything should be done according to the rules, no matter who it is, if there are bad rules, if you should be caught, you will be punished, if you let me know that you are bending the law for personal gain, see how I clean you up."
"Chincis!"
"Chen Li Biao is grateful!"
After respectfully bowing three times and bowing nine times, Li Biao and Wang Yongji stood up from the ground. After thanking the little eunuch, the two of them sent the little eunuch away.
Looking at Li Biao, Wang Yongji couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, he was His Majesty's confidant.
Not to mention anything else, just this kind of self-confidence in knowing that His Majesty will definitely not fail me, ordinary officials do not. In fact, His Majesty really did not live up to Li Biao, and this holy decree was clearly to cheer Li Biao up.
Thinking of this, Wang Yongji himself smiled, didn't His Majesty also lose himself?
Today, His Majesty is really the King of the Holy Wisdom, and he has to be assisted by the Lord, and this life is not in vain. Thinking about it like this, Wang Yongji felt full of energy. Glancing at Li Biao, Wang Yongji said with a smile: "Master Li, then let's do it!" ”
"How many are in the first batch?" Li Biao nodded and asked.
The first batch Li Biao said was actually the first batch of gardens to send notices, after all, there are so many gardens, they can't all be delivered at once, and they are also packed up in batches at this time.
"Twenty-one!" Wang Yongji said directly.
"Okay, let's do it!" Li Biao nodded.
