Chapter 82: Stealing Half a Day's Leisure
Case......
"Go back for tea!"
Yang Qing said to Gao Dejie very dryly.
"Huh?"
Gao Dejie looked at him with some surprise, obviously this is not in line with Lord Yang's style, shouldn't he pick up a big stick and smash it with this lord's temper? How did this change the style? Does he still have any respect for these talents?
"Shi Kefa is here to catch up!"
Yang Qing patted him on the shoulder and said.
Indeed, Shi Kefa led the Nanjing ministers to Yangzhou to greet them, and they were supposed to wait for Chongzhen's arrival there, but His Majesty the Emperor and Jinyiwei were blocked by the troublesome green worms in Gaoyou, so he had to solve it as the first assistant, if he couldn't even solve this little thing, then this first assistant would simply stop doing it!
In other words, Ma Wei should not be what Shi Kefa meant.
Yang Qing can be sure of this!
It's not that it's because of Shi Kefa's historical image, in fact, his historical image has nothing else but Yangzhou's martyrdom, but because this person is relatively pedantic.
Or maybe he's a bit stupid to read.
This can be seen from the original historical struggle for the throne, although the de facto leader of the Donglin Party, Shui Tailiang, resolutely opposed, Shi Kefa, who actually presided over the Sixth Department of Nanjing, still respected the rules of succession to the throne and chose the Donglin Party, which is the political force to which he belongs, and is opposed to King Fu. And then even if he was ostracized after Hongguang succeeded to the throne, he only went to Yangzhou to avoid it, this is a person who follows the rules and does not have the courage to break the rules, simply put, he strictly abides by those ethical norms, so he also chose the most ethical code of suicide to be martyred.
Such people won't play this.
He may die in front of Chongzhen, but he will not play this kind of conspiracy against Chongzhen.
Of course, this does not prevent Yang Qing from pitting him, in fact, Shi Kefa will be his main political enemy next, and it is in his interests to get Shi Kefa down. Now since the southern gentry wants to give Chongzhen a dismount, then it is better to counter the first army, if Shi Kefa, the old Donglin and the Jiangnan gentry, cannot solve this trouble, then Chongzhen will simply remove him, and he can't even handle this well, so what's the use of you, the first assistant?
"Go, let people prepare wine and food, and the fish in the pool are quite fat, I see that there are still a few deer, then let's not be polite, get some charcoal to set up a grill, let the brothers eat and drink, and let the concubines of the Wang family sing a little song, we can be regarded as stealing a half day of leisure."
Yang Qing said.
"Let's do it!"
Gao Dejie immediately said with a smile.
Yang Qing waved his hand to let him leave, then looked at the stunned green worms on the opposite side, and then turned around and walked back to the gate of the Wang family, and pulled a trembling girl next to him, and in her frightened screams, the door behind him was closed by two brocade guards, and the last picture left for those green worms outside was that he arrogantly held people in his arms.
Angry scolding immediately rang out outside the door.
Inside the door, Yang Qing raised his head and looked at the Kui Tower overlooking the entire Butterfly Garden, where a scribe in his fifties and sixties was peeking at him with a telescope.
He smiled evilly at the other.
Then he raised his middle finger, and in the stunned gaze of the other party, he put the girl on his shoulders and laughed and walked to the room in front of him......
After Chongzhen got the report, he quickly understood Yang Qing's intentions, and also understood what was hidden behind this matter, this was indeed a dismount against him, since this is the case, it would be better to fight against the army. The dragon boat that was already preparing to go to Yangzhou was stopped by Chongzhen, and the people of Gaoyou blocked the holy drive, how can this dragon boat go forward? Is it because the people of Yangzhou do not welcome the holy drive? The people of Yangzhou do not welcome the holy drive, is it because the people of Jiangnan do not welcome Nanjing? I'm very scared, I'm also very uneasy, why don't the people of Jiangnan welcome me? I'm very confused, so I'm not going to leave for the time being, and I can't leave until I understand the question of whether the people in Jiangnan are welcome or not, I can't go against the will of the people and insist on going to Nanjing, right?
I really can't do it, so I have to go to Fengyang to mix with the ancestors!
Then the Nanjing ministers hurried to arrive.
The first assistant Shi Kefa, in addition to Zhang Shenyan, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, who came with him, left Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the household department in Nanjing, Gu Xichou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Guowei, the secretary of the military department who received Shi Kefa, Xie Xuelong, the secretary of the criminal department, and Cheng Zhu, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, all arrived, and there were also some other officials and a group of nobles in Nanjing, such as Liu Kongzhao and the like. Except for Gao Hongtu, who is from Jiaozhou and is considered a northerner, the others are all from the south, Gu Xichou Kunshan, who did not surrender in history, was killed by a general soldier with a personal grudge. Zhang Guowei Dongyang, King Lu committed suicide and martyrdom after the defeat of the army, Xie Xuelong Xinghua, Nanjing City committed suicide by throwing himself into the Yangtze River, Cheng Note Hubei Xiaogan, it can be said that this court gave enough face to the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and half of them were from Nanzhili and Zhejiang. Although Shi Kefa is a northerner, he is a protégé of Zuo Guangdou, the banner of the Donglin Party, and he can be regarded as the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, which means that they have an absolute advantage in the government including the first assistant.
This face is indeed enough, but ......
If you have enough face, don't get an inch!
"Shi Gebu, I will ask below, can His Majesty's holy decree be carried out in Nanzhili, and if so, then what is going on? If not, then what's going on? Zai and the five hundred brocade guards were trapped for a whole day and a night, dying of hunger and thirst for a day and a night, and had to endure the abuse of the outside scholars and Diao Min, and even some people tried to set fire to it, and only got out of it with a bloody body in a difficult body, you look at the blood on my body! ”
Yang Qing carried a lot of clothes stained with the deer blood that had been drunk and showed off indignantly.
"I didn't do this when I killed Jiannu on the battlefield!"
He then said with an aggrieved expression.
He did look a little sleepy at this time, after all, he had harmed four beautiful maids in one day!
"Loyal and brave Uncle is serious, the whole world is not the king's land, the Ming is the Ming of His Majesty, the holy decree is the respect of the world, how can Nanzhili be an exception, the scholar blocked the Jinyi guard to copy the Wang family, just for Wang Yongji to avenge his grievances."
Xie Xuelong said.
"What is Wang Yongji's grievance? Isn't it his mastermind who hijacked the holy car to lure Jiannu into the customs? ”
Yang Qing said.
"Wang Yongji is indeed guilty, but after all, it is also for the Ming Sheji, although he did wrong, but the source is still loyalty to His Majesty, he just proposed to borrow troops to suppress the Kou, but he did not instruct Zhang Ruoqi to hijack the holy driver, that is Zhang Ruoqi's own opinion, and the army under house arrest Wu Sangui, Wang Yongji just has no ability to stop it, but he is still guilty of not punishable, but he has already conferred the head of the Fa, and how can he show His Majesty's mercy with this strain?"
Xie Xuelong said.
One of them is Xinghua and the other is Gaoyou, and it is estimated that they will have a little friendship.
"I'm just asking if he's guilty?"
Yang Qing said.
"His sin is unforgivable, and his circumstances are forgivable!"
Xie Xuelong said.
"Is he guilty?"
Yang Qing continued to ask.
"Yes!"
Xie Xuelong replied.
"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, is he considered a great rebellion?"
Yang Qing said.
"Count!"
Xie Xuelong hesitated and said.
"Does the Great Treason Involve the Nine Clans?"
Yang Qing said.
"Yes, but ......"
Xie Xuelong also wanted to defend himself.
"Xie Shangshu, the law only is yes or no, no, but, since you are the secretary of the criminal department, please don't tell me anything about the extenuating circumstances, the reason why the law is the law is that it is an iron law that cannot be violated, and if you commit a crime, you must deal with it according to law. If the law says anything about extenuating circumstances, then what is the meaning of the law? The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, even if the vassal royal clan violates the law, it must also be dealt with in accordance with the law of the Ming Dynasty, which was formulated by Emperor Taizu, and no one has the right to violate it, and Wang Yongji is not qualified to be an exception! Since he has committed a crime, and he has committed the crime of great rebellion, then he must be dealt with in accordance with the law of the Ming Dynasty, and the law of the Ming Dynasty clearly stipulates that the crime of the great rebellion is connected to the nine clans, so it must be connected to the nine clans, you say that you cannot show your majesty's mercy, so may I ask whether your majesty's mercy is important or the great Ming law of Taizu is important? ”
Yang Qing said.
"Huh?!"
Xie Xuelong was speechless.
It's not that they can't argue with Yang Qing, the key is that they don't have a theoretical basis to defend Wang Yongji, whether it is Wang Yongji or not who masterminded the hijacking of the holy car, he is on the Shanhaiguan and is also the head of the cabinet of the edict, this is conclusive, and the edict of the edict is ironclad.
Then he is a great rebellion.
In the same way, he will have to punish the Nine Clans.
"Your Majesty, the matter of Beijing is just an expedient measure, the rebellious offender made the queen die, this feud can be said to be uncommon, although Wang Yongji did wrong, but what he did is still the responsibility of the courtier, if the plan to suppress the army is really successful, the Ming Dynasty may not lose the north, in this way, Wang Yongji is not guilty, his death is already pitiful, if he is even his family will be sad."
The right capital of the Imperial Court said.
"Then you mean that Your Majesty is wrong?"
Yang Qing said.
"Of course, Your Majesty is not wrong, but at this time and that time, Your Majesty was in danger at that time, and he had to fight against the Void and Wrong, and he was ...... at this time."
Gao Zhuo said.
"What about now? I need to remind you that Li Zicheng took the initiative to surrender to His Majesty, Li Zicheng took the initiative to ask His Majesty to surrender in front of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Beijing, and his King of Qin was given by His Majesty, and he is still the King of Qin of the Ming Dynasty. Wang Yongji, Wu Sangui and others rebelled against the party for their own selfish interests, instigated the officials and the people to divide His Majesty and the King of Qin, and slandered His Majesty's Nanxing actions as His Majesty's expulsion by the King of Qin, so as to lure Jiannu into the customs. My Ming Taizu expelled the Tartars to restore China, Chengzu swept the north to make the Tartars give the head, and Wang Wu rebelled against the party to lead Jiannu into the customs to re-stain the land of China, if it succeeded, where would Taizu become the ancestor? At this time, you defend it instead, and it is very incomprehensible! Aren't you afraid of the wrath of Xiaoling? ”
Yang Qing said.
"Huh?"
Gao Zhuo also shut up.
