Volume VII Chapter 28 Treacherous Schemes
"→" is a great novel to read.
Wu Zongda walked out of the imperial study in despair, his face was full of pain, the emperor asked him to reflect, it was time for him to reflect and reflect.
What he wants to reflect on is not why his four cousins can be admitted to Jinshi, nor why his two cousins can become high-ranking officials, but why he still can't get attached to it.
Is it worth staying in the current court?
Wen Tiren was ambitious, playing with power, framing Zhongliang, usurping power and profit, and the remnants of the eunuch party took advantage of the situation, stealing high positions, and doing misdeeds, but the emperor was blinded by these treacherous deceitfuls, dismissed and cut down the officials one by one, and even beheaded them!
What's wrong with his Changzhou Wu family, a ten-jinshi, brothers are high-ranking officials, that is with real ability, who in Changzhou does not know that his Wu children study hard, the family rules are strict, he was often beaten because of unsuccessful classes when he was a child, sometimes his hands are smashed, his father still tearfully pumped, more than ten years of cold windows, they dare not slack off for a moment, plus uncles, grandfathers and other Jinshi from the strict teacher to teach in turn, so many of their brothers and nephews are admitted to the Jinshi is strange?
He knew that the emperor had been controlled by the remnants of these eunuchs, just like when the eunuchs controlled the first emperor, if the loyal ministers and good generals did not retire as soon as possible, they would definitely die without a place to be buried!
He also knows very well the methods of the eunuchs, at the beginning, Wei Zhongxian was also like Wen Tiren, and he had a little scruples at the beginning, once he controlled the emperor and covered the eyes of the sky with one hand, it would become inhumane, how many loyal ministers and good people would be tortured to death, how many upright hard bones were beaten and flesh and blood were broken, and the bones were broken and broken, everything seemed to be just yesterday, he seemed to be able to smell the smell of blood that permeated the capital!
He was afraid, he was really afraid, the eunuchs have always harmed people from the nine clans, if he doesn't know how to advance or retreat, it is very likely that the prosperous Changzhou Wu family will be cut off from the children and grandchildren, miserable, so, after returning to the study, he immediately wrote a resignation, blame the resignation, and at the same time he also ordered someone to inform Wu Liang, Wu Yuan, Wu Yu, Wu Ding, Wu Yanzhi, Wu Zhifang, all resignations, hurry up to resign, while Wen Tiren has not yet lost his heart, while the emperor has not raised the butcher's knife, hurry up, flee back, teach his children well, and wait for Ming Jun to come to the world, Changzhou Wu may be able to rise again, if you are lucky, you can't go, the disaster of extermination is just around the corner!
Wu Zongda's resignation was handed over to Chongzhen was not surprised, and he didn't even have the intention of pretending to keep it, he was directly approved, he had lost patience with these ministers who "deceived" him, just go, it's no big deal, the fewer ministers who "deceive" him, the better.
Wu Zongda just left, and all the children of the Wu family such as Wu Liang and Wu Yuan resigned and went into hiding, without any hesitation, without any nostalgia, and left at once, Chongzhen did not have any hesitation, there was no retention, all were approved!
Wu Zongda's sudden resignation caused a lot of waves in the court, because now in the court, he and Zheng Yiwei can barely compete with Wen Tiren, Zheng Yiwei is more inclined to compete with Wen Tiren, and he is not much interested in saving people and avenging grievances, only Wu Zongda is enthusiastic about helping others, generally as long as he has no bad deeds, he is really framed by Wen Tiren and the remnants of the castration party, he will find a way to help people avenge their grievances, and when he goes, the courtiers will lose a protective umbrella, and from then on they can only let Wen Tiren fish meat, simply put, once Wen Tiren targets whomever he wants, he will be finished!
Of course, they still have a choice, that is, to follow Zheng Yiwei and compete with Wen Tiren, fighting to the death.
However, there are really not a few people who dare to do this, because the people who dare to jump out and fight with Wen Tiren have almost been cleaned up by him, Zheng Yiwei, Wen Tiren also began to clean up!
If you want to say that Zheng Yiwei is a person, it is really difficult to clean up, because he is upright, his sleeves are clean, he has basically no bad deeds for more than 30 years as an official, and he has no brothers and nephews who are officials in the court, and there is no sign of forming a party for personal gain, in the face of such an invulnerable person, it is really difficult to start, which is also the reason why Wen Tiren has not moved him, not because he doesn't want to move, but because there is no reason and no excuse to move.
However, at this time, Wen Tiren was already fledgling, and Wu Zongda, the only one in the cabinet who could support Zheng Yiwei, was also cleaned up by him, and he still had a way to deal with Zheng Yiwei, who was lonely.
Wu Zongda, a scholar, resigned, and the cabinet has since lost one person, because the plan and the imperial examination are underway, Chongzhen has no time to organize the court to push and replace the cabinet ministers, and the number of cabinet members cannot be increased for the time being, but the number of twists and turns will not be reduced because of this, so the four scholars in the cabinet are busier, and when the vote is drafted, it will be the same as a war, and there is no time to think about it at all.
On this day, Wen Tiren "occasionally felt unwell" and had an abnormal headache, so he did not participate in the draft vote, but just divided the folds a little and distributed them to the three scholars, asking them to help write the vote.
There is no way for the three scholars, who doesn't have three illnesses and two pains, the first assistant is like this, everyone can only fold his performance evenly, and help write the ticket.
Now the three of them are even busier, each of them has more than 100 copies, they all have to read it carefully, and then write down the handling opinions, if they grind and chirp, it is estimated that they will not be able to finish writing at night.
Zheng Yiwei didn't think about it so much, just looked at it carefully one by one, and then quickly wrote his own handling opinions, when he saw the impeachment of Liang Tingdong, the right attendant of the military department, he was slightly stunned, and then wrote his own suggestion: There is no real evidence, please check and then deal with it as appropriate.
Liang Tingdong, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, is very familiar with him, because he was the main examiner when Liang Tingdong took the township exam, and Liang Tingdong also asked him some questions after the exam, and the two of them were also a bit of a master-apprentice fate.
Yu Shi Shui Jiayun He also heard of it, this person and the eunuch general, Qi party boss Wang Yongguang's thug Yuan Hongxun is a fellow villager, and the two have a very close relationship, and Yuan Hongxun was impeached by Liang Tingdong for accepting bribes from the general Hu Zongming, was imprisoned for a few years, and finally joined the eunuch party before getting a new life, so, Yuan Hongxun hated Liang Tingdong, at this time Yuan Hongxun was dragged out and cut because of Wang Yongguang's case of framing Yuan Chonghuan, and it is not surprising that his confidant Shui Jiayun was waiting for an opportunity to avenge him.
However, the impeachment of Shui Jiayun is too outrageous, An Guodong, the director of the Ministry of Officials, took bribes and implicated Liang Tingdong, just because this An Guodong once served under Liang Tingdong!
If Yushi Shui Jiayun was in front of him, he would definitely scold, can you eunuch remnants be reliable in speaking and doing things, use this reason to impeach the right attendant of the military department, is there something wrong with your brain?
However, Shui Jiayun was not in front of him at this time, and his ticket was intended to be written to the emperor, so he only wrote one sentence: There is no solid evidence, please ask the Metropolitan Procuratorate to verify it and then deal with it as appropriate.
This was originally an inconsequential trivial matter, and even Chongzhen laughed at Shui Jiayun's impeachment fold, and directly approved it and then threw it aside, which means that even if such a ridiculous thing is over, there is no need to check it, and there is no need to approve it, so stay in the cabinet for archiving.
No one thought that this was a set set by Wen Tiren for Zheng Yiwei, in fact, Wen Tiren's head didn't hurt at all that day, and Yu Shi Shui Jiayun's twists and turns were also deliberately given to Zheng Yiwei by him!
In other words, can such a ridiculous thing bring down a cabinet scholar?
Under normal circumstances, it is naturally impossible, but when Chongzhen, a fool, becomes the emperor, everything is possible!
That night, Liang Tingdong's "friend", Ge Yingdou secretly came to Liang Tingdong's mansion and told him that Yushi Shui Jiayun impeached An Guodong, the director of the Ministry of Officials, for accepting bribes to buy and sell officials, and listed several generals promoted by Liang Tingdong, saying that these were all promoted by Liang Tingdong after accepting bribes.
Liang Tingdong was shocked when he heard this, and early the next morning, he wrote a letter to defend himself, explained his relationship with An Guodong, and listed all the merits of the generals he promoted, proving that he did not promote these generals because he accepted bribes, and as for his instructing An Guodong, the head of the Ministry of Officials, to accept bribes to buy and sell officials, it is even more nonsense.
This was originally nonsense, Zheng Yiwei just laughed when he saw the twists and turns of his defense, and Chongzhen just laughed when he saw his twists and turns, and sent them back to the cabinet after a casual reply.
However, Wen Tiren suddenly launched it, and he directly took Shui Jiayun's impeachment and Liang Tingdong's defense and ran to the imperial study to ask to see Chongzhen.
Chongzhen thought it was something important, and hurriedly recruited him in, but as a result, after the monarch and the ministers greeted him, Wen Tiren solemnly presented the two most absurd recitals in the past two days, and asked him to take a closer look.
Chongzhen looked at it carefully, and couldn't help laughing: "Changqing, what's the matter, do you also think that this Shui Jiayun is boring, forget about it, Yu Shifeng is not guilty of anything This is a rule set by Taizu, and this kind of trivial matter is harmless, just treat it as if it didn't happen." ”
Wen Tiren pretended to be angry, and said bitterly: "Your Majesty, you don't know, this matter is not as simple as it seems!" ”
When Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but be curious: "Oh, what's the matter, is there anything hidden in this matter?" ”
Wen Tiren continued to say bitterly: "Your Majesty, please forgive Weichen for being rude, you don't know, you were tricked!" ”
Someone dared to play tricks on me, Chongzhen immediately turned his face and said angrily: "What's the matter, you tell me well." ”
Wen Tiren smiled secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he still pretended to be angry, and continued to say bitterly: "Your Majesty, think about it, you mean to stay in the middle of the imperial history Shui Jiayun's recital, and the cabinet did not send it down, but directly stored it in the copywriting library, how did Liang Tingdong know?" What kind of defense did he play? And it's so fast! ”
When Chongzhen heard this, he really began to think, yes, how did Liang Tingdong know that someone was impeaching him, and he also knew the content of the impeachment, and he was on the defense so quickly, this is not normal, he asked with a cold face: "What's going on, how does Liang Tingdong know that someone is impeaching him, and he is so clear about the content of the impeachment!" ”
Hehe, finally fooled, Wen Tiren smiled in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be embarrassed: "Your Majesty, there are some things that Weichen doesn't know whether to say or not, if you talk about it, you will offend people, and if you don't talk about it, you are afraid that the emperor will continue to be played, Weichen is really embarrassed." ”
What? Someone is playing tricks on me, you don't say it, what do you mean!
Chongzhen said sharply: "Say! ”
Wen Tiren pretended to hesitate for a while, and finally "mustered up the courage" and gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, you were tricked by Zheng Yiwei, he is not a party or a group on the surface, but in fact, he has been secretly cultivating party henchmen, this Liang Tingdong is one of the henchmen he has secretly cultivated, when Liang Tingdong took the township test, he was the chief examiner, Liang Tingdong has always followed him as a teacher, the two have been secretly in contact for many years, Liang Tingdong visited him with a disciple ceremony when he stayed in Beijing, but he hid this relationship later, On the surface, he pretended to be unfamiliar with Liang Tingdong, in order to deceive the emperor and secretly cultivate party henchmen! ”
When Chongzhen heard this, he said angrily: "There is still such a thing? ”
Wen Tiren nodded "painfully" and said: "The court officials have heard of this, but the emperor doesn't know it, just like this time Shui Jiayun's impeachment of Liang Tingdong is not a big deal, and Weichen has also seen it, but because Weichen was unwell yesterday, he had a splitting headache and couldn't lift a pen, so he asked Zheng Yiwei to draft the vote on his behalf, but I didn't expect Liang Tingdong's self-defense to come up early this morning!" Shui Jiayun's impeachment of Liang Tingdong is just Weichen and Zheng Yiwei and the emperor, you have seen it, Weichen had a headache yesterday and fell asleep when he went back, how could he tell Liang Tingdong, the emperor, you will not send someone to inform Liang Tingdong for this little thing, right? ”
Chongzhen nodded solemnly and said, "I really didn't send anyone to inform Liang Tingdong. ”
Wen Tiren slandered: "Then the facts are very clear, it was Zheng Yiwei who secretly informed Liang Tingdong that the so-called concern is chaos, he is afraid that something will happen to his right-hand man!" Who was impeached by the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it should have been kept strictly secret before the conclusion was reached, if the people who impeached them were impeached, wouldn't they make enemies everywhere, in this way, who else dares to hear about it, Zheng Yiwei is knowingly committing a crime, in order to protect his own henchmen, he actually despised the law of the court, Weichen really couldn't stand it, so he dared to expose this matter to the emperor, just afraid that the emperor would continue to play with this kind of treachery! ”
Chongzhen nodded coldly, gritted his teeth and said, "Well, I know, you did a good job, go down." ”
Wen Tiren heard this, saluted respectfully, and then slowly retreated, and when he turned around, he couldn't help but show a wicked smile on his face!
Of course, Chongzhen couldn't see Wen Tiren's treacherous smile, at this moment he only felt that his lungs were about to be blown up, first Wu Zongda, and now Zheng Yiwei, these ministers who value themselves are actually hiding their own party and selfish business one by one, are I really so fooled!
He directly slapped the fold on the table and shouted angrily: "Pass on Zheng Yiwei!" ”
Zheng Yiwei was dizzy and dizzy when he was going to write tickets these days, and he didn't know what Chongzhen was summoning him at this time, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the imperial study, he hurriedly saluted, and Chongzhen asked coldly: "Do you know Liang Tingdong?" ”
I know, Zheng Yiwei didn't think too much about it, and replied honestly: "Back to the emperor, Weichen knows." ”
Chongzhen asked coldly: "Are you the chief examiner when you take the test in another country, and has he always been a disciple of you?" ”
When Zheng Yiwei heard this, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and at this time, he heard that the emperor's tone was wrong!
What does the emperor mean by this? There's nothing to hide!
He had to reply honestly: "Back to the emperor, yes, when Weichen presided over the township examination, Liang Tingdong happened to pass the examination, so he has always been a disciple of Weichen." ”
Chongzhen was so angry that he threw the song fold in front of him, and shouted angrily: "Are you really so easy to fool, do you think that I don't know if I secretly form a party?" ”
Zheng Yiwei picked up the fold in front of him and looked at it, cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead, and he instantly understood that this was a trick set up by Wen Tiren!
