Volume 7 Chapter 80 Sitting on the Mountain and Watching the Tiger Fight
Wen Tiren has been anxiously waiting since he carried out the plan to lead the water to the east, he wants the forces behind Huang Chenghao to transfer the target to the Qi Party or other eunuch remnants as soon as possible.
To be honest, he was really a little scared, the dead soldiers that the Zhejiang Party had worked so hard to cultivate for nearly thirty years were cleaned up by them in one night, those people were really terrible, and the most important thing was that he didn't know who it was, so he couldn't fight back at all.
The reason why he used the plan to lead the way was also because he wanted that the forces in the darkness could be exposed when he was fighting with the Qi Party or other remnants of the eunuch party, so that he could unite all the remnants of the eunuch party and overthrow the other party!
As for the other party who fought or not, he didn't worry about it at all, the other party just cleared out the dead soldiers they secretly cultivated, and did not attack any officials, which proves that they don't dare to fight in martial arts, only dare to fight, if Wendou is in words, he hasn't been afraid of anyone, most of the forces in the DPRK and China are under his control, and if there is a kind of let the horse come!
Zhang Bin and Huang Chenghao did not let him wait long, and on the third day after the court push, the cabinet received a letter of remembrance, the right of the Imperial Procuratorate of the Imperial Palace, Wang Jikui, impeached Zhang Sizhi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, for embezzling thousands of taels of silver during his tenure as Zuo Zhongyun of the Zhan Mansion.
This is a trivial matter, embezzlement of a few thousand taels of silver is really nothing to them, and this incident happened in the Apocalypse Dynasty, it has been almost ten years since this time, and it is difficult to investigate.
However, Wen Tiren was so happy that he almost danced when he saw this twist, because this was a signal, Wang Jikui, the right man of the Imperial Palace, was Huang Chenghao's cronies, and he impeached Zhang Sizhi, an important minister of the Qi Party, which proved that the people behind Huang Chenghao were eyeing the Qi Party, and his plan was successful!
Wen Tiren is so proud, he looks left and right with the fold, as if admiring a peerless beauty.
However, there is one thing he doesn't understand, why did the forces behind Huang Chenghao target Zhang Sizhi, the cabinet scholar was taken away by Zhang Zhifa, and the official book was taken away by Xue Guoguan, why are they staring at Zhang Sizhi?
Zhang Sizhi still knows this person well, this person is quite effective, Qi Dang saw it at a glance when he inspected the second year of the Apocalypse, and quickly positioned him as a key training target.
Of course, this good man is not doing the right thing, but being ruthless and doing bad things, this guy even took away his own brother's family property, it was a ruthless split, this point, even Wen Tiren couldn't compare to him.
It is not a glorious thing to seize people's property, but what the eunuch party values is who is blacker and who is more ruthless, Cui Chengxiu is black and ruthless, Tian Ergeng is ruthless and black, so they have become the right-hand man of Wei Gonggong, and what Wu Chunfu, Zhou Yingqiu, Xu Xianchun, Cao Qincheng, etc. are all ruthless, so they have become the cadres of the eunuch party.
Wen Tiren also took away people's property, so he was trained to become the leader of the Zhejiang Party, without him, because he was black and ruthless enough.
Wang Yingxiong also likes to take away people's property, so even though he is not from Zhejiang, he has also become a key training target for Wen Tiren.
Zhang Sizhi is this guy, he even took his younger brother's property, and the Qi Party doesn't focus on cultivating him!
This guy was actually targeted by the forces behind Huang Chenghao, it's just great, such an important successor, the Qi Party will never stand idly by.
Wen Tiren took the recital and looked at it for a long time, and finally put it down with satisfaction, smiled gloomily, and then ordered someone to invite Xie Sheng, a cabinet scholar, to come to his study.
Although he belongs to the Qi Party and not the Zhejiang Party, Wen Tiren is not only the leader of the Zhejiang Party, but also the recognized leader of all the remnants of the Eunuch Party, and he still has to have respect on the surface.
After a while, he walked into Wen Tiren's study and said, "My lord, I don't know what to call the officials over." ”
Wen Tiren pretended to be worried, picked up the note, and said lightly: "I don't dare to do it, I just saw this book, and I was a little worried about Yibai, so I specially asked you to come and have a look." ”
"Yibai? What happened to him! Zhang Sizhi is the key training object of their Qi Party, and he may have to lead the Qi Party to power in the future, but he must not dare to have an accident, he hurriedly took the fold, unfolded it, and then sighed, and rejoiced: "It turned out to be such a trivial matter, rest assured, we have already dealt with this matter, besides, it has been almost ten years, and it is difficult for him Huang Chenghao to find someone to witness." ”
Wen Tiren shook his head and sighed: "Yi Jin, this matter should not be underestimated, Chunshi was also impeached for corruption by Huang Chenghao's people at the beginning, and we didn't pay attention to it, but as a result, you also saw it." ”
"Ahh , Xie Sheng couldn't help but be startled when he heard this, of course he saw Wang Yingxiong's ending, and he couldn't help but say anxiously: "Is it really so serious?" ”
Wen Tiren smiled bitterly: "I'm really not sure about this, anyway, it's better to be careful, you can take a good look at this piece, and you will write the ticket." ”
What he meant was obvious, solve your own problems.
When Xie Sheng heard this, he could only give up his hand and retreat, and walked to his study with the fold.
Wen Tiren looked at Xie Sheng's back, and showed a yin smile again, hehe, don't make the problem more serious, you shouldn't take it seriously, be careful, fight with others, I'll sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight first!
Xie Shengzhen was taken aback, he took the fold back to the study, looked at it carefully for a long time, and found that there was nothing unusual, so he drew up a "check no evidence, return to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then deal with it when you find the real evidence." ”
His meaning is also obvious: You check, the matter of the Apocalypse Dynasty, see how you find out the real evidence!
Chongzhen looked at the ticket plan posted on the fold, and did not look for Xie Sheng, but recruited Xie Sheng's younger brother Xie Majesty, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, and he also ordered someone to roughly check, in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, Xie Majesty is the Zuo Yude of Zuo Chunfang of Zhan Shifu, Zhang Sizhi's top boss, maybe Zhang Sizhi's entry into Zhan Shifu was handled by him.
At this time, Chongzhen's suspicious mistake was committed again, this pair of brothers, plus Zhang Zhifa, plus Zhang Sizhi, was enough to arouse his suspicions, these people can't really be Qi Party!
His Majesty Xie hadn't received any notice from anyone, and he didn't know what was going on, so as soon as he entered the imperial study, he was startled, because the emperor's face was gloomy at this moment, and he seemed to be angry.
After seeing the salute, Chongzhen held up the song and asked coldly: "What's going on with this Zhang Sizhi, when Zuo Zhongyun of Zhan Shifu can be greedy for thousands of taels of silver, it's amazing, it's even more powerful than Wang Yingxiong!" ”
When Xie Majesty heard this, he was also taken aback, of course he understood the importance of Zhang Sizhi, that was the future helmsman of their Qi Party, but he didn't dare to have an accident.
He carefully took the fold, unfolded it and read it carefully, and then breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out to be such a trivial matter, and he also saw the ticket plan written by his brother, it is indeed difficult to find evidence for this matter, let them check it.
Xie Majesty thought for a while, and then arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen happened to live in Zhan Shifu Zuo Chunfang Zuo Yude at that time, and he still knows Zhang Sizhi well, he is honest and honest, has a good character, and it is impossible to be corrupt. ”
When Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: "Zhang Sizhi is really not corrupt? ”
Xie Majesty nodded solemnly and said, "Absolutely not." ”
When Chongzhen heard this, he said lightly: "Okay, I'll let the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigate again, you go down first." ”
Xie Majesty hurriedly bowed down and retreated, but Chongzhen looked at his back coldly, his eyes flashed, this guy is really trying his best to protect Zhang Sizhi, they are really likely to be forming a party for personal gain!
Within two days, Xia Yunyi, the imperial historian of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Procuratorate, took another step and impeached Zhang Sizhi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, for taking away his younger brother Zhang Siwei's family property during his study at the Hanlin Academy.
You have a good character, I will make you have a good character, even take away your own brother's property, and still have a good character!
Wen Tiren saw the twists and turns, he was so happy, he was done, he really did it, okay!
He ordered someone to invite Xie Sheng over, and then worriedly held up the fold and said to Xie Sheng: "Yi Jin, look, I said that this matter is not trivial, they have all found Zhang Sizhi's younger brother, you must be careful!" “
Xie Sheng took it and took a closer look, and there was a weird smile on his face, this was the most important thing when they Qi Party inspected Zhang Sizhi, he was naturally quite clear, and besides, they had already disposed of Zhang Siwei's family!
He smiled, and then said lightly: "Don't worry, adults, this matter is pure nonsense, Zhang Sizhi doesn't have a younger brother at all, not even in the yellow book!" ”
Of course Wen Tiren knew that this guy was lying, Zhang Si knew that even Father-in-law Wei knew about taking his brother's property, and Father-in-law Wei praised him a few words for this, praising this little guy for his future.
He doesn't have a younger brother yet, since you think he can have no younger brother, then he doesn't have a younger brother, Wen Tiren said lightly: "Well, since there is no one, then it's good, you should take the ticket and write it." ”
Xie Sheng respectfully bowed his hand, returned directly to the study, drafted a "nonsense", and pasted it.
Chongzhen looked at the twists and turns, and couldn't help but be puzzled, didn't he say that he would impeach Zhang Sizhi for corruption, why did he come to take away his brother's family property again, is it really fake?
He was stunned for a while, and then ordered someone to recruit Zhang Zhifa, because at that time Zhang Zhifa was in the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites was in charge of Zhan Shifu, which was a rule slowly formed in the Wanli Dynasty.
Zhang Zhifa already knew that the Metropolitan Procuratorate or Huang Chenghao was eyeing Zhang Sizhi at this time, because Xie Sheng had already explained to him, if the emperor asked, he must try his best to protect Zhang Sizhi, they are not young, and the Qi Party will rely on Zhang Sizhi to support it in the future, and it is basically impossible to cultivate such a capable successor.
This time, Xie Sheng was afraid that he didn't know or forgot that the Qi Party had sent someone to help Zhang Sizhi change the Yellow Book, so he deliberately went to Zhang Zhifa's study and told him about it in detail.
As soon as Xie Sheng finished explaining here, the emperor over there sent someone to summon Zhang Zhifa, so Zhang Zhifa was not nervous at all, and even when he saw Chongzhen sitting there like the black-faced Guan Gong, he didn't show any timidity.
Chongzhen really couldn't believe that Zhang Sizhi could even do this kind of inhumane thing, but this is not the point, the point is that he wants to determine whether these people have formed a party or not through these things, so he still pretended to be very angry, and after Zhang Zhi finished the ceremony, he raised his song and scolded angrily: "This Zhang Sizhi still has a little humanity, even his own brother's family property is taken away, this kind of person is still worthy of being the secretary of the criminal department!" “
Zhang Zhifa pretended to be surprised, took the fold and looked at it carefully, and then cried and laughed: "These people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate are too boring, where did they hear the rumors, Zhang Sizhi has no younger brother at all, where did he come from to take away his brother's property!" “
"Ahh When Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned and said, "He really doesn't have a younger brother?" ”
Zhang Zhifa nodded vigorously and said: "Your Majesty, Zhang Sizhi really doesn't have a younger brother, Wechen has been working with him for more than ten years, although he is not in the same yamen, he still has some contacts, and Wechen has never heard that he has a younger brother." ”
When Chongzhen heard this, he thought about it, and could only say embarrassedly: "You should step back first." ”
Zhang Zhifa bowed and retreated, but Chongzhen sat there stunned for a long time, he really didn't understand what Huang Chenghao meant, he really couldn't bear this unclear feeling, he was stunned for a while, and he ordered someone to recruit Huang Chenghao over.
Huang Chenghao seemed to know that Chongzhen would look for him, and when he came in, he was holding a few books in his hand, how could Chongzhen be in the mood to see what he was holding in his hand, after a courtesy of the monarch and ministers, he couldn't help but complain: "Bingzhong, you can order someone to impeach Zhang Sizhi, but don't make it too ridiculous, Zhang Sizhi doesn't even have a younger brother, why are you asking people to impeach him for robbing his brother's property, aren't you messing around!" “
Huang Chenghao said with a face full of grievances: "Wechen knew that it would be like this, Wechen went to the Yellow Book Library in the capital to check the Yellow Book, and wanted to find evidence that Zhang Sizhi robbed his brother's property, as a result, on the Yellow Book, Zhang Sizhi did not have a younger brother at all, how could this be possible, at that time, Zhang Sizhi robbed his brother's property Many officials in the capital knew, and Wechen also knew, how could he not have a younger brother." Obviously, these people have changed all the yellow books! “
Chongzhen couldn't help but be surprised: "It's impossible to change the yellow book!" Is everything you say true? ”
Huang Chenghao raised the yellow book in his hand and bowed down and said: "What Wei Chen said is true, Wei Chen will never deceive the emperor like them, Wei Chen knew that they would definitely bite back after checking the yellow book, so the last time he submitted his testimony, he did not attach Zhang Sizhi robbing his brother's property." It wasn't until the two days that Weichen sent people to Nandu to investigate found the original old yellow book, and Weichen ordered someone to play impeachment, which is the old yellow book that Weichen ordered people to find in Nandu. Their changed Yellow Book Weichen also brought it over, and the emperor understood it at a glance. ”
Zhang Bin made a move, how could he be disappointed, he also knew that the Yellow Book was ironclad evidence that Zhang Sizhi robbed his brother's property, so he had already ordered someone to check the Yellow Book, but as a result, he found that the Yellow Book had been changed!
This matter did not bother him, he had been in the southern capital, and knew that there was a place to store the old yellow books in Jinling City, and the latest yellow books were kept in the capital, and all the invalid yellow books were transported to Jinling.
It has been more than 200 years since the Ming Dynasty was established, and the number of yellow books can be imagined, and even many of the older ones have rotted, and there are thousands of warehouses in Jinling City that store yellow books, and it is really difficult to find out, so the Qi Party did not send people to destroy the old yellow books at all.
They believe that no one will be bored to impeach Zhang Sizhi, even if someone impeaches Zhang Sizhi, they may not necessarily think of looking for the old yellow book, even if they do, thousands of warehouses, who can find it!
Ordinary people really don't necessarily find it, but, Bi Maokang they can, they are idle in Jinling City at this time, and finally have something to do, that's called a positive, everyone went out together, and within a few days, the first three old yellow books that recorded Zhang Sizhi's family were found by them!
Chongzhen curiously took the yellow book and looked at it, three old books and one new one, all of which were the third yellow book of Zhengfa Fang, the county seat of Feixian County, Shandong, and the page about Zhang Sizhi's house was bookmarked, and he spread out the four yellow books on the table for comparison, and sure enough, he could see it at a glance.
Zhang Sizhi had a younger brother named Zhang Siwei in the Yellow Book of the 35th year of Wanli and the 45th year of Wanli, but his younger brother Zhang Siwei disappeared in the Yellow Book of the 6th year of the Apocalypse and the 8th year of Chongzhen!
It also records the real estate, land and family property of the Zhang family in detail, at the beginning his family was very poor, just a dilapidated thatched house, a total of only three, later, after his younger brother transferred to business, his younger brother's real estate, field property, shops are there, and even his younger brother even has a wife and children, but, six years after the apocalypse, his brother and his wife and children have disappeared, real estate, land and shops are also recorded in Zhang Sizhi's name!
After reading it, Chongzhen asked in disbelief, "Is this true?" ”
Huang Chenghao said angrily: "Your Majesty, Weichen didn't lie, they thought it would be okay if they changed the Yellow Book, but one of them is completely impossible, that Zhang Sizhi studied poetry and books hard, participated in the imperial examination, and was a high school scholar in his thirties, where did he get the time to do business?" He has the time to take care of the shop, besides, business is a cheap business, how can he go into business if he is a talented person with a reputation or even a person! ”
When Chongzhen heard this, he nodded with a pale face, he knew that this time, it was definitely Zhang Zhifa who was deceiving him, and the yellow book was ironclad evidence, a person with a meritorious name was preparing to be admitted to the Jinshi, and it was impossible for him to run to do business!
