Without a Trace Volume 10 Shengping Chapter 18 Rectification

、、、、、、、

When Xu Minghai and others were tried in Dali Temple before, although there were only three officials including Lian Yuchang and others, there were still many officials after all, and all kinds of abnormalities during the period were immediately spread. As soon as someone heard the situation, they immediately realized that something was wrong, after all, before the three chief officials spoke, someone took Xu Minghai's confession first, and it was strange to know. However, people speculated and speculated, and finally focused on the emperor. If this matter is really widely implicated, I am afraid that there will be many officials who will fall.

Because of this, most of the officials at the court meeting in the past few days have made up their minds to remain silent, except for the continuous chapter of the Supervision Yuan, the rest of the people are submissive, for fear that one will accidentally provoke the Holy Driver and make everything happen in advance. Feng Wuxi's cultivation kung fu is also excellent, but these people who are high on the throne speculate, but they have never made any will, and even the trial of Dali Temple has been temporarily suspended.

On this day, Prince Lian Feng Wuqing, Prince He Feng Wuhou and Prince Jia Feng Wushu gathered together in Prince He's Mansion, leisurely tasting the Western Regions Tribute Wine, plus a group of Kabuki raised in Feng Wuhou's Mansion, it was extremely comfortable. However, after all, the three of them are not for enjoyment, although the entanglement of the military department has nothing to do with them, but if they are involved one by one, it will inevitably have a little to do with the officials under them. Among the three, the one with the least confidence is Prince Jia, who turned the latest in the previous battle for succession, and even this prince's title is a little strange, so he is not as sure as the two brothers.

"Fourth brother, sixth brother, you two are sending a sentence. These days. The threshold of my palace is about to be broken, and the two of you are not outsiders, but I have to greet each other with a good face. I can't afford to offend any of them. He Mobin, Yue Qianfan, He Weitao, all of them stomped in the middle of the court. The characters who have to jump a few times in the world, I can't cope with it, so I hide here. You can tell me, if the emperor is determined to rectify the military department, this rod will go down. It's not as simple as a dozen people! Feng Wuwu took a glass of wine and drank it down, and his face suddenly flushed red. He usually drinks a lot, but today he has something on his mind, and he will inevitably get drunk faster.

Feng Wuqing just smiled and kept silent, but Feng Wuhou shook his head and said, "Ninth brother, you are too obsessed." What the emperor thinks, I and other courtiers really don't need to speculate, if you have a good article, just hand it over, even if it is wrong. The emperor will not delve into it. He pouted upwards and shook the cup with amusement before continuing. You can't be anxious to do big things, you look at the sixth brother, the emperor is now interested in making him the prime minister of the king, that is, he values his cultivation of kung fu. Mount Tai collapsed in front of it and its color remained unchanged. That's what you should study. Feng Wuqing listened to Feng Wuqing's words, even if there was a mustard in his heart, he couldn't help but laugh, he glared at the other party fiercely, and then said thoughtfully: "The emperor wants to rectify the rule of officials, and he first took the river governor yamen and Anhui officials to do it, and this time he picked up the military department, the reason for which is not asked, the court is afraid that it will use soldiers!" ”

As soon as he said this, the other two looked at each other, obviously not thinking of this.

Feng Wuqing is still calm, this is naturally not his speculation, but Feng Wuqing's warning. He took a deep look at the two brothers on the side, and couldn't help but sigh again. "If it weren't for Prince An's support in the northwest, the war would have been uncovered long ago. In recent years, the Dzungars have frequently recruited troops and horses to annex other tribes, and the imperial court has also developed its influence in the north of the desert on the basis of stabilizing the southern tribes, and has purchased a large number of war horses. However, those officials in the military department are all goose plucking goods, if the emperor does not clean up well, if the sword and soldiers are together, if there is a mistake, it will not be able to make up for it. ”

Feng Wuhou and Feng Wuqi are also smart people, and after glancing at each other, they omitted these words from the emperor's mouth, and they couldn't help but nod. Although there were singing and dancing in front of them, and the beauties were like clouds, the minds of the three of them were not on this at all, and even the wine in the cup became tasteless for a while. Feng Wuqing saw that the two of them were looking at him, and his face became a little more solemn, "The emperor is angry now, when I went to the palace holy land first, he made a fire in front of me, it seems that some people must be unlucky this time." As for the candidates, we might as well discuss them with each other, and then it will be enough to jointly sign a fold. As long as this matter is revealed, the emperor will definitely send another henchman to the military department, and there will be nothing to do with us. ”

Feng Wuqing said it so bluntly, if the other two didn't know what to do, they would waste the name of the prince in vain. Feng Wuqing couldn't help but stand up and paced back and forth for a few steps before he walked to Feng Wuqing's side, leaned over and asked softly: "Sixth brother, although we don't want to interfere in the affairs of the military department, but this so-called list, as long as it doesn't violate the emperor's taboo, it should be that as long as the people involved in that case are involved, they can be filled, right?" There was a sly light flashing in his eyes, and he couldn't help frowning when he saw the wind clearly.

However, Feng Wuqing finally nodded. The emperor's meaning is very clear, as long as it is really related to the affairs of the Ministry of War, and can not affect the court situation, officials can be placed in the ranks of the elimination this time, especially some old ministers who do not know what to do, are pretentious and greedy. Feng Wuhou saw that Feng Wuqing nodded in agreement, so he casually pulled a few pieces to him, dipped his fingers in the wine in the glass, and directly wrote down the three names. After Feng Wuqing carefully identified it, he couldn't help sneering again and again, and he added three more, but Feng Wuqing looked indifferent, just looking at the two of them as if they were in a tug-of-war.

At the court meeting the next day, Lian Yuchang deleted Xu Minghai's confession that day and submitted it to the public, even if it didn't just mention a few names lightly, the officials in the court couldn't help but change their color. The officials involved in it even kowtowed one by one, swearing that it had nothing to do with the matter, and they actually staged a good show. However, the emperor did not deal with anyone in this way, but made another decree to let the three princes go to Dali Temple to observe the trial.

Xu Minghai knew that he was no longer fortunate since he wrote everything on that piece of paper, but he also knew that the person who took his confession that day was not very human, so he was not afraid of his family's situation. Before the trial started again, Mingguan secretly sent someone to expose his bottom to him, so that he could play well in the court and not bite according to the confession last time. Xu Minghai, who understood the heart, naturally would not let others down, and in front of the three princes, he said a few satisfactory names in 1510, and the inside story was even more clear, which made everyone in the court in an uproar.

The three princes got the opportunity, and the next day they naturally signed a joint letter, asking the emperor to remove those officials from their posts and investigate them. Not only the three of them, but also the Supervision Yuan was not far behind, Bao Huasheng and Lian Yuchang also jointly folded, plus some ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee who saw the opportunity quickly, there were more than a dozen copies of this day's folding. The courtiers, who were very quick to figure out their intentions, saw that the impeached officials had become the dogs of the mourning streets, where would they easily let go, and for a while, the snowflakes of impeachment recitals were piled up in the upper room.

In this vigorous impeachment, there are a total of three chamberlains involved, and there are many Langzhong members and outsiders, and there are also a few cabinet scholars who drafted the will in the upper room. However, except for a few of these people, who are indeed extremely greedy, most of the rest are stubborn ministers who are more energetic than anyone else. In the past, whenever the emperor had a will, these people liked to jump out to oppose it, and it was called "reminding the emperor not to forget the rules of the ancestors". Some people also impeached Hai Guanyu and praised these deceased ministers, which is obviously a comparison. All in all, everyone wants to take the opportunity to catch all these officials who are selling their reputations.

However, Feng Wuxian naturally did not let the heat go too far, and seeing that the matter was almost over, he issued an order to punish many officials who followed the trend indiscriminately, and also ordered the matter to be handled by Bao Huasheng and Prime Minister He Weitao. He Weitao has been a little more cautious since his last remarks were rejected, and with him detaining Bao Huasheng in the back, Feng Wuxian didn't care about what excessive things they would do.

So many moths were caught in one fell swoop from the case of the Ministry of War, although the people applauded, but the officials were silent. These days, although the emperor only disposed of those dozen people, he summoned into the palace to reprimand far more than that. Many courtiers went in with a smile on their faces, and came out with a depressed face, and the excerpts of the argument filled most of the shelves of the Qinzheng Palace. Although Feng Wuxian didn't want to use this to clean up the court, he didn't want to let go of these people easily, so he left these notes and took the opportunity to beat these people well.

Since the emperor has made up his mind, the people at both ends of the trial will also be at ease. The three of them were unhurriedly talking from those military officials, hoping to find something to close the case. And Bao Huasheng and He Weitao were resolute, and they were very loud during the trial, and they wanted to intimidate each other.

At the beginning of September of the sixth year of Yufeng, the trial of these two cases was finally completed, and the chief officials on both sides reported the reasons one by one, while the officials of the court and the people of Beijing speculated about the emperor's attitude. Killing one arrogant is an ironclad matter, people are interested in how many people the emperor wants to kill, and the rest of the people are Zhulian's family members or just send down the army, this series of questions suddenly made countless eyes focus on the emperor Feng Wuxi.

Among the dozen or so corrupt officials in the Ministry of War, each of them ranged from abandonment of the city to exile in accordance with the law, and the dozen or so officials who were found out later were different. In addition to their ancestral property, the confiscated property alone was often worth hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, and according to the laws of the imperial court, none of them could survive. Feng Wuxian did not intend to take more than a dozen lives with a stroke of the pen, except for a few who were beheaded, the rest were either exiled outside the customs or before the army. After this purge, all officials were aware of the harshness of the current emperor and could not help but act more cautiously. However, this is just the beginning.
