Chapter 54: The Essentials of the Three Dynasties
Seeing that there was no one in the hall to perform the performance, Wen Zhenmeng looked at the wat board in his hand, gritted his teeth, walked out, walked to the center of the hall and saluted like a ceremony, and then said: "Chen Hanlin said, the Beijing camp supervisor Yu Shi Wen Zhenmeng has something to play." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Zhu Daming nodded and motioned for him to continue talking.
Wen Zhenmeng then said: "Your Majesty is asked to destroy the ban on the "Three Dynasties Classics" ......"
"The Essentials of the Three Dynasties", also known as the "Three Political Disciplines", is a "historical resolution" compiled by the eunuch party cadres Gu Bingqian, Feng Quan, Huang Liji, Wei Guangwei and others, mainly from the position of the eunuch party, in response to the conclusions made in the late Wanli period, the first year of Taichang, and the first year of the Apocalypse. The main content is the archival materials of the three major cases of the Wanli, Taichang, and Tianqi dynasties, plus some conclusive statements that conform to the will of the eunuchs.
According to the content of the language, it can be imagined that the main thing is to blame the occurrence of the three major cases on a few bigwig-level figures of the Donglin Party, so as to create public opinion for the struggle of the eunuch party and the attack on the Donglin Party, so the survival and abolition of the "Three Dynasties Classics" has always been a focus of party contention in the late Ming Dynasty.
Now that the eunuch party with Wei Zhongxian as the core has fallen and become a dead tiger, Wen Zhenmeng, as a member of the Donglin Party, of course, wants to redress his teachers, so it is natural to propose to destroy the "Three Dynasties Canon".
In this regard, Zhu Daming is naturally also very happy to see it, not that he is sympathetic to the Donglin Party, but that he wants to reuse the three major cases to achieve his own goals, if the three major cases have already reached an undoubted historical conclusion, then how can he restart the investigation of the attack case and the Red Pill case? So he was also very happy that someone asked this question.
As for what Wen Zhenmeng said in his generous statement, Zhu Daming didn't listen much, and when Wen Zhenmeng finished speaking, Zhu Daming looked at Li Guoyan and Sun Chengzong and asked, "What do the ministers think?" ”
Of course, Li Guowei has no opinion on this, and now he is in charge of investigating the eunuchs and redressing the wrongs, and a big obstacle he encounters is the "Three Dynasties Classics". Even if Wen Zhenmeng doesn't mention this issue today, Li Guowei himself will raise it in the future, so he said: "The minister thinks that what Wen Zhenmeng said is reasonable, and the minister seconded it." ”
Sun Chengzong then said: "The minister seconded the proposal. Then almost everyone in the Wenchen train bowed and said, "The ministers seconded it." ”
Now that the eunuch party is gone, the emperor's meaning is also obvious, at this time, opposing the destruction of the "Three Dynasties Essentials" will be regarded as a eunuch party member almost 100%, so no one objected, and even the noble and military ministers who never cared about the party struggle in the court also unanimously seconded it.
Zhu Daming didn't waste any more time, and said directly: "Since this is the case, then the cabinet will send an edict to the world as soon as possible and destroy the "Three Dynasties Essentials" from now on." ”
Wen Zhenmeng was an instant hit the first time he performed in the Imperial Palace, and he was also very excited while kneeling on the ground to thank him, but at this time he suddenly heard the emperor say: "Wen Zhenmeng, as the imperial history of the Beijing camp supervisor, it is your duty to discuss the military affairs of the Beijing camp in the court, but today you are overstepping your authority to discuss government affairs that have nothing to do with your own duties, can you be guilty?" ”
Wen Zhenmeng was stunned for a moment, his brain was running fast, and he suddenly remembered several rules that the emperor had set before, one of which was that non-imperial historians were not allowed to overstep their authority to discuss matters unrelated to their duties. I beg your Majesty's forgiveness. ”
A few days ago, the emperor had just issued an edict to praise the thirteen overseers led by him, and he believed that the emperor would not really punish him for this.
Zhu Daming looked at him and said lightly: "Nian is the first time you went to the palace to discuss matters, and this time I will spare it." Don't take it as an example, be cautious. The civil and military officers in the hall bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers obey the order." ”
It was agreed to destroy the ban on the "Three Dynasties Classics", and the scene was cold for a while, without those imperial historians who could speak well and love to come out, the court was really a lot cleaner, and it seemed that the imperial history supervision army also killed two birds with one stone.
Seeing that there was no one to do for the time being, Zhu Daming continued: "Since Qing and the others have nothing to do, I will say one thing first." Last month, the Inspectorate Yu Shi Qu Shiqi made six injustices and omission matters, including mentioning the attack case and the red pill case, and there was a cry of injustice. I also ordered Jinyi Weiren and others to go to arrest the parties involved in the two cases and put them in prison, and now Liu Guangfu, who is related to the attack case, Cui Wensheng, and Li Kezhuo, who are related to the Red Pill case, are all in Fusi Prison in Xiabei Town.
"Now, the court has decided to destroy and ban the "Three Dynasties Canon", so these two cases can naturally be regarded as unresolved doubts. Li Aiqing, I see that these three people can be transferred by the Beizhen Fusi to the Criminal Department, the Inspectorate, and the Dali Temple for interrogation, and they must find out. ”
Li Guowei and Gong Yonggu both bowed down to receive the order. Then, Zhu Daming continued: "Of course, now that these three people are in prison, there is no need to be too anxious, wait until Wei Zhongxian's reverse case is approved, and then deal with it." ”
Of course, Li Guoyi has no opinion. Now that the problem of Shi Fenglai has been solved, there is no obstacle to the conviction of other eunuchs in high positions, and the list of eunuch party members, after repeated discussions by Li Guoyi, Qiao Yunsheng, Li Biao, Liu Zongzhou and others, has already had a draft, and the rest is Emperor Yuming, and after the emperor agrees, he can choose the opportunity to publish it.
Li Guowei was thinking about how to reply to the eunuch list, when he suddenly heard the emperor say again: "In the past few days, the cabinet has sent in a number of bullet stamps, all of which impeach Shi Fenglai as a eunuch, and Shi Fenglai also folded his own impeachment and asked Zhishi, and I have transferred it to the cabinet for processing. Do you have any opinions? ”
Now that Shi Fenglai is not here, Li Guowei is naturally ranked first among the ministers, and the emperor asked, of course, he was the first to answer, and after a little groaning, Li Guowei said: "Your Majesty, about Shi Fenglai's suspicion of being affiliated with Wei and rebelling, it is not groundless. Since the minister was responsible for reviewing the eunuch case, he worked with the three law divisions to find out the letters written by Shi Fenglai to Wei Wei from the old files of Wei Wei that were confiscated by Jinyiwei, all kinds of sycophants, which were unsightly. The minister thought that Shi Fenglai could not stay in office. Your Majesty, please be aware of it. After speaking, he bowed and said nothing.
Sun Chengzong, who was standing next to Li Guowei, also said: "The minister seconded the proposal. "Then there are six Shangshu, and then there is a full hall of civil and military, all of which are seconded to the voice.
In this regard, Zhu Daming didn't care, so he said lightly: "Since Qing and the others have said that Shi Feng can come and go, considering that Shi Fenglai is the third time to ask for Zhishi, I will approve it." The cabinet can draft a decree to remove Shi Fenglai from the post of scholar of the Imperial Palace and the secretary of the ministry, and then stay at home to be investigated, and if the matter of his party's attachment to Wei is true, he will be convicted of the same as other eunuch party members. After saying this, the hall was filled with the voice of His Majesty's Shengming again.
