Chapter 101: Rumors are a knife to kill!
"Smack"
As a note was slapped heavily on the table, Wang Xijue sighed heavily, looking at the mountains of notes in front of him, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
This is already the forty-eighth letter received today, all of which are impeachment of Lu Kun's plot to misbehave, collude with internal and external, and hope to be lucky, and even some fierce words pointed the finger at Concubine Zheng in the deep palace.
Regarding the emperor's temperament, Wang Xijue couldn't be clearer, Concubine Zheng is the person on his heart, and if all these notes are handed to the emperor, he may not know what he will be angry.
On the contrary, Shen on the side was always very calm, handed over a cup of tea casually, and said.
"Elder Wang Ge doesn't need to be angry, didn't we already expect such a situation? Now that the new year has just begun, the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has not yet left Beijing, and if such a big thing happens, they will naturally be impeached! What's more, this matter is indeed quite strange, aside from others, even the old man also feels that what this worrying discussion said is not unreasonable, Concubine Zheng has indeed plotted the position of the East Palace for a long time......"
"Consistently! Concubine Zheng is a harem concubine, and non-ministers such as us can put their beaks! ”
Wang Xijue's face was slightly displeased, in all fairness, he also knew that this matter was windless and could not make waves, Concubine Zheng's intentions over the years were obvious to all, but the problem was that she had the support of the emperor and was in the harem, so she was born with a protective film, after all, no matter how long the ministers of the foreign dynasty stretched, they couldn't control the harem, this was a matter of principle.
What's more, this matter is menacing, and there must be someone behind it, especially at this sensitive node, which is very likely to cause turmoil in the court, which Wang Xijue has always tried his best to avoid.
Shen has always had an idea, he naturally knows very well, Lu Kun is not a member of the Zhejiang Party, it should be said that he has no intersection with Shen Zhengyi, but Lu Kun has a friend, that is, one of Lu Kun's friends specified in this worrying proposal, Cheng Shao!
Coincidentally, this Cheng Shao is the number one opponent of Dai Shiheng, who impeached Lu Kun, and Dai Shiheng is a hardcore Zhejiang Party.
But it is clear that the court and the court have calculated a lot of each other, and this matter has nothing to do with Wang Xijue, and he doesn't want to be this villain, and Wang Xijue also believes that with Shen's consistent character, if he wants to make a move, he will only plan and then act, and he can't see his purpose until the end, and it is a thunderous move like this, not his usual method, so there must be someone else behind this......
"What Wang Ge said is that the old man is just talking, and there is no need to be angry! But now that this matter is so big, how can it be resolved? ”
Shen Yi smiled, and he had a rough idea in his heart, but he didn't dwell too much on it, and said.
Since the discovery of this worrying proposal, the cabinet has clearly ordered the ministers not to discuss this matter in vain, and everything will be determined after the Shuntian Mansion has verified it.
But the problem is that once public opinion rises, it is not so easy to extinguish, especially those imperial histories, they were born to do this, not only did not suppress this matter, but made the voice of impeachment more and more intense, and even the three ministers of the cabinet were burdened with an impeachment that blocked the way of speech.
However, the three old ministers are all experienced in a hundred battles, these small impeachments are nothing to them, the important thing is that the current government and the opposition are all aimed at Lu Kun and Concubine Zheng, and the emperor obviously wants to calm things down, which is the most troublesome!
"What is the result of the Shuncheon Mansion investigation?"
Wang Xijue furrowed his brows and asked.
The key now is to find out who the people who are spreading the worries and rumors are, and only by finding out this clearly can we prescribe the right medicine.
"There is no progress, according to the news found by Shuntianfu, the people who spread the single page to the courtier's house this time are all ruffians and hooligans, and the person who asked them to do things is a mysterious person, they took the silver to do things, and they are illiterate, and they don't know what is written on it, as for the mysterious person, they were in contact with some complicated places at the beginning, and now they have long disappeared without a trace!"
Shen Yi also frowned and spoke.
After a pause, he seemed to remember something again, and replied.
"Oh, by the way, Shuntianfu also found out one thing, before this single page was sent to the courtiers, there were already rumors in Beijing, saying that there were people in the palace who colluded inside and outside, relying on the emperor's favor, and wanted to ...... The bastard prince helped him to the East Palace, and among the rumors, the prince was as fat as a pig, extremely stupid, conniving at his mother's relatives to accumulate wealth without a form, bullying men and women, doing all kinds of evil, and even evolved many evil deeds......"
Shen's usual wording is cautious, but the point is quite obvious.
Especially with the things that are making trouble now, it is even more obvious that it can't be more obvious, if you talk about the degree of favor, the Zheng family has been repeatedly maintained by the emperor, who doesn't know?
The emperor's intention to prop the third prince Zhu Changxun to the throne is even more obvious, and more importantly, the third prince is pampered and is indeed a little obese, and the kid of the Zheng family did a lot of illegal things in the previous paragraph.
With all these signs, even a fool knows who he is talking about.
After a pause, Shen Cheng continued to speak.
"But fortunately, these rumors are all passed on by word of mouth, and they are rumored to be heard as jokes among the Jingshi, and the courtiers have not found out about this kind of rumor for the time being!"
Shen's tone was calm, but Wang Xijue's brows suddenly froze, and he asked eagerly.
"Really? How long has this myth been rampant? Can Shuntian Mansion send someone to investigate in detail? Also, why didn't the old man see this in the imperial history, and what was Jinyiwei doing? ”
Wang Xijue's reaction greatly surprised Shen's usual expectations, and a series of questions made him a little confused, and it took a while to react and speak.
"This rumor has been prevalent in Beijing for a while, because it is only circulated among the common people, and nothing has happened, so when Shuntianfu finds out, the specific time and source are not clear, and the old man over there is not clear, even if they find out, they should not report it to the cabinet, as for the imperial history, ......"
Shen Cheng pondered for a moment, then suddenly turned around and returned to the table, flipped through for a while, and finally took out two copies of the recital and handed it to Wang Xijue, slightly helpless.
"These two notes were made half a month ago, one is the old man's vote, and the other is the Yuanfu vote, at that time, the old man and the Yuanfu both felt that things were not simple, and they were about to play His Majesty, and they met Chen Bingbi to announce the decree......"
The next words, needless to say, Wang Xijue is also clear.
Compared with a folk rumor, the struggle between the officials and the cabinet is the most important, at that time, Chen Ju came to pass the holy message, saying that the officials were plotting to push for their own use, the emperor was furious, Zhang Wei naturally put these two notes aside for the time being, and concentrated on the affairs of the ministry.
Later, I made a lot of noise for so long, and I didn't remember it until now......
"Elder Wangge, is there something wrong? There are so many rumors like these that they will die down in a short time, so why bother ......"
Shen Yi asked, in his opinion, the public opinion among Shilin and the courtiers is the most important, such folk rumors, there are countless people, and it won't take long to disappear, Wang Xijue's reaction is inevitably a little big.
"Alas, always, you see it too simply!"
Wang Xijue sighed, but his brows were furrowed.
"Although the folk rumors disappeared quickly, but this rumor has been prevalent for so long, it is obvious that someone is manipulating it behind it, not to mention that this statement is true and false, the people are ignorant and easy to believe, and it must be known that the people's grievances have accumulated to a certain extent, and even the imperial court cannot suppress it!
Compared to the public opinion among the courtiers, this is the most terrifying, and the people behind this are really clever in their means......"
Faintly, Wang Xijue's eyes floated with the appearance of a smiling young man, looking up at the gloomy sky in the distance, this capital, I am afraid that there will be another turmoil......
