Chapter 600: Why Don't You See Xiao Li
A month later, the mausoleum of Emperor Zhengde was sent to the Imperial Mausoleum in Nanjing, where he was buried in Kangling. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Ming Dynasty Zhu Wuzong is over, and now the government is naturally in the hands of Empress Dowager Zhang and Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet.
It is now the end of November, and the government of the Ming Dynasty is always in the hands of Yang Tinghe and Empress Dowager Zhang, which is not a solution after all. What the Ming Dynasty needs is the emperor. These days, the courtiers are becoming more and more anxious, and who will be the emperor next, how to say that this matter must be decided before the year. A court without an emperor, then what kind of court is it?
Could it be that this government has always been in the hands of Empress Dowager Zhang? This is obviously not a no-go. You must know that the current Empress Dowager Zhang is fifty years old, not to mention, more importantly, she is a woman after all. A woman is in charge of the government, how can this not be justified?
It is true that there is also a woman as the emperor in history, Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty. But who is Wu Zetian? It was a different woman, almost all the men in Datang at that time were played with by her, and she was an absolute proud woman who could have whatever she wanted. Although Empress Dowager Zhang is not an ordinary woman, her skills are not small, and her methods are also surprising. But compared with Wu Zetian, she is a little worse after all. Because all the courtiers saw it, Empress Dowager Zhang had to rely on Yang Tinghe many times in dealing with court affairs.
Yang Tinghe is the first assistant of the cabinet, but after all, his surname is Yang, and he is an outsider compared to the Ming court. Do you want such a person to take charge of the Ming Dynasty?
Hehe! Just kidding, Jiang Bin's rebellion was unsuccessful, and he was still in prison at this time. In the end, it was to let the world fall into the hands of Yang Tinghe, which was no different from Jiang Bin's rebellion. This is obviously not a no-go.
The Ming Dynasty is surnamed Zhu in the world, and the future emperor must be surnamed Zhu, and it should be the bloodline of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang.
Moreover, the current Yang Tinghe, like everyone, gives the impression that he is eager to find a new emperor. He may also realize that if this goes on for a long time, he Yang Tinghe may be charged with stealing the government. That's a great sin. Yang Tinghe has been smart all his life, where would he do such a stupid thing?
In short, it is clear that this matter cannot be delayed any longer.
At the strong request of Yang Tinghe and a group of old ministers, on this day, in the Kunning Palace of the Empress Dowager Zhang, a group of old ministers in the court sat down around the Empress Dowager Zhang, and first discussed how to deal with Jiang Bin. Jiang Bin has bewitched Emperor Zhengde over the years, arrogant and domineering, and has caused trouble to the dynasty. After Zhengde's death, he deliberately rebelled, although this guy is now imprisoned in the Imperial Prison, the punishment in the Imperial Prison is naturally very cruel, and he is imprisoned with the enemy Qian Ning. Now, more than a month later, he is still alive. And it seems that he is still alive and well.
A few days ago, Qian Ning always found trouble with him and wanted to kill Jiang Bin, but in the end, I don't know why, Jiang Bin and Qian Ning actually reconciled. Hehe! Embarrassment is embarrassment after all, and the wolf is inseparable from the embarrassment, and the embarrassment is inseparable from the wolf. As long as these two guys are together, they will have an idiom of embarrassment.
Jiang Bin had a total of four sons, one of whom died when the courtyard and the house slaves robbed Jiang Bin of the property, and there were only three left at this time. After Jiang Bin was arrested, Qin Li led his special forces to raid Jiang Bin's house the next day.
Although the house slaves in Jiang Bin's mansion robbed some of Jiang Bin's property, it was a drop in the bucket after all. There was a cellar in Jiang Bin's mansion, and it took Qin Li and the others a lot of effort to discover this secret.
Seventy chests of gold and two thousand two hundred chests of silver were found in the cellar. Other silk satin, valuables are countless.
Oh my God, how much silver is this guy greedy for? This is all worth more than ten years of Daming's income. It is said that there is a huge treasure buried in the dragon vein, and maybe the treasure in the dragon vein may not be comparable to the family property of Jiang Bin, a big corrupt official.
No wonder the Ming treasury has no money, it turns out that it was all collected by this guy. After confiscating Jiang Bin's house, the Daming treasury was filled up all of a sudden. The courtiers clapped their hands and applauded, even the Empress Dowager Zhang couldn't close her mouth happily.
I knew that Jiang Bin was such a huge greed, and I should have cleaned him up a long time ago. It will not make the life of the Ming Dynasty so miserable.
Jiang Bin's three sons naturally wanted to escape, but martial law was already under martial law in the capital. Guo Xun and his son guarded the capital like an iron bucket during this critical period. They can't run away.
Jiang Bin's mansion was cleaned by Qin Li, and Jiang Bin's three sons and Jiang Bin's thirty-seven concubines were arrested. These women are extremely charming, hehe! There's no way, Jia Jiangbin is just a good mouthful.
However, Jiang Bin's wife is forty years old, and although she looks dignified, she is just an ordinary woman. This woman has a bit of a fall out of favor in Jiang Bin's mansion. She actually ate fasting and reciting Buddha all day long in Jiang Bin's mansion, and she had blocked Jiang Bin's affairs many times. Anyway, she is soft-spoken after all. In the end, he even annoyed Jiang Bin, and Jiang Bin simply drove him into the firewood house to live.
In short, Jiang Bin's woman is a very kind and reasonable woman. For such a woman, Qin Li was naturally compassionate and wanted to let this woman go.
But what Qin Li didn't expect was that when Qin Li led the others in the Bin Mansion, this woman actually killed herself with a knife.
It is said that she is still a fierce woman, and she is very loyal to Jiang Bin.
Wang Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, first said, "Queen Mother, Jiang Bin deliberately rebelled for the sake of the court, and in the end, if it wasn't for all the courtiers to deal with him, they tried their best to finally take him down." Maybe Jiang Bin will still be at large and bring disaster to the court.
I have always had clear grievances and grievances, and the law is extremely strict. Jiang Bin should be beheaded, not only he should be beheaded, but Jiang Bin's nine clans should be beheaded. ”
"What Lord Wang said is wrong, the heinous crimes committed by Jiang Bin are heinous. How can you punish the nine clans, according to this official's opinion, it should be to destroy the ten clans. Lu Wan, the secretary of the military department, said.
His words immediately changed the color of those present. Zhu Shi, how cruel is that? Wang Qiong's brows condensed in an instant. Including Yang Tinghe, including Empress Dowager Zhang and others, they were all staring at Lu Wan.
This Lu Wan is the secretary of the Ministry of War, and he has always been cautious in doing things in ordinary times, and he doesn't like to be public. What's more, he is in charge of the military department, and he actually has a very good relationship with Jiang Bin. Although they were not so excessively close, Jiang Bin was able to sit on 50,000 horses of the Fourth Outer Army, and Lu Wan had never objected.
Today, he actually proposed to punish the ten clans of Jiangbin. What does he mean by that? Could it be that he is trying to dissociate himself from Jiang Bin? Or did he already hate Jiang Bin and could not do anything about Jiang Bin's previous rights?
You must know that in history, there is only one person from the Ten Tribes, from ancient times to the present. This extermination of the Ten Clans only happened in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, because of the Ten Clans, it could be said that the world was shaken. There are those who are dissatisfied with the people, and there are those who write to the emperor to retract their orders. The punishment of the Ten Tribes is too severe.
The people of the ten clans of the Ming Dynasty were called Fang Xiaoru.
It is said that Fang Xiaoru is also a generation of talents, he is the closest minister of Emperor Jianwen, Fang Xiaoru regards Emperor Jianwen as the king of knowledge, and is loyal to Emperor Jianwen.
In the first year of Emperor Hui's Jianwen, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, launched a war for the throne. Emperor Hui discussed the crusade, and the crusade at that time was written by Fang Xiaoru. After Zhu Di seized the throne, Zhu Di actually respected and appreciated the filial piety of the other party. After all, it's a generation of talents.
Zhu Di asked Fang Xiaoru to surrender, and asked Fang Xiaoru to draft an edict on Zhu Di's throne. It shows how much Zhu Di values filial piety.
But this Fang Xiaoru is also an old elm pimple, and he doesn't open his mind. He actually wrote the words "Yan thief usurped the throne" under the edict. This angered Zhu Di, damn it, are you angry if you have the ability? Do you look down on me Zhu Di? Yes! Don't think that if you are a talented man, he will not dare to kill you, Lao Tzu will kill you.
Zhu Di frightened Fang Xiaoru and said, "I want to kill you, and I want to destroy your nine clans." ”
Fang Xiaoru responded with a stalk on his neck, "Zhu Jiu clan, hehe!" That's a lot, even if the Ten Clans are afraid! ”
Boom! This old guy repeatedly challenged Zhu Di's bottom line at that time. Zhu Di was annoyed and angry, and couldn't bear it, "I'll punish you ten clans!" ”
The ten clans refer to their own generation, the family of aunts who marry, the family of sisters who marry, and the family of daughters who marry. These are the four clans of my father's generation.
Maternal grandfather, maternal grandmother, aunt. These are the three clans of the mother's generation.
The father-in-law and the mother-in-law are the two families of the wife's generation.
Together, this is what is often referred to as the Nine Clans.
The tenth family is the protégé who has added a protégé.
At that time, Zhu Di's first strategist Yao Guangxiao once knelt down and begged Zhu Di not to kill Fang Xiaoru. Because Fang Xiaoru's influence is too great, his protégés are all over the world. If the ten clans really killed him, the world's scholars would be extinct. But where would Zhu Di, who was furious, listen to Yao Guangxiao's words, and finally exterminated Fang Xiao's ten clans.
This atrocity of Emperor Zhu Di caused a violent shock at the time. The people dared not speak out against Zhu Di, and their grievances were buried deep in their hearts.
In a word, the Zhu Ten Clan is really too cruel.
Today, Lu Wan proposed to exterminate Jiang Bin's ten clans. He seemed to have expected everyone's reaction, and Lu Wan said with a wry smile, "The Queen Mother and all the adults know that Jiang Bin is the emperor's favorite minister, and he is in charge of the outer fourth army, which has a total of 50,000 people. Let me ask the many generals and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, which one can have such a right. 50,000 people in charge? This is all the shame of the Ming Dynasty and the shame of our military department.
But I, Lu Wan, couldn't speak in front of the emperor, and I couldn't do anything to see that Jiang Bin had the greatest military power in my Ming Dynasty. Today, this kid has finally fallen, in order to let the whole world know about Jiang Bin's evil deeds and alert the people of the world. The old minister's suggestion is to kill his ten clans to relieve the hatred in my heart. ”
In the end, Lu Wan was in tears, and he couldn't cry.
He doesn't know how much he has been aggrieved over the years, as the secretary of the Ming Army, the pain in his heart may only be known to him how bitter it is.
At this time, everyone present looked at each other. Zhu Shi clan, this is a big deal, we must be cautious.
Everyone first focused their eyes on Yang Tinghe, but at this time, Yang Tinghe lowered his eyebrows, as if he was old and hateful, as if he hadn't heard Lu Wan's words just now.
But everyone is a person who has been with Yang Tinghe for a long time, so they naturally understand that Yang Tinghe at this time is trying his best to weigh and weigh left and right.
Everyone's eyes looked at the Empress Dowager Zhang again, and the Empress Dowager Zhang seemed very calm at this time. She nodded lightly at everyone, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and asked softly, "Why didn't you see Xiao Li in today's deliberations?" ”
Boom! Who is Xiao Li? This is obviously Empress Dowager Zhang's affectionate name for someone. Who made Empress Dowager Zhang value it so much?
Immediately, everyone suddenly realized that Xiao Li was Qin Li.
Today is a courtier's meeting, and those who participate in it are all members of the court, and the youngest is also an official from the second rank. What is Qin Li? He is just a small fourth-rank official, and now he still carries the name of a prefect of Hejian on his back.
He was a magistrate, and he shouldn't have stayed in the capital. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's emphasis on him so much, maybe someone would have impeached Qin Li long ago. A magistrate doesn't stay in the local area, but goes to the capital to get involved in big things, what kind of system is this?
But everyone also knows that Qin Li has done a lot of things since he returned to Beijing. To defend the palace, twenty-three people killed thousands of traitors led by Zhang Hong. Then he arrested Jiang Bin, and he copied so much property from Jiang Bin's house. What's even more incredible is that Qin Li actually led more than a dozen people to stabilize the Fourth Outer Army. How much courage and skill does that take?
But Qin Li did it lightly.
It is said that after Zhengde's death, Jiang Bin deliberately rebelled, and the court fell into a great crisis, and it was Qin Li who stabilized the court alone.
I have to say that Qin Li is a very remarkable person.
But after all, he was only a fourth-rank official, a local prefect, and he was only seventeen years old. Let a person who is seventeen years old and a group of high-ranking and powerful court ministers discuss together, how can these old ministers be embarrassed?
Or Wang Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said, "Queen Mother, today we are discussing a major matter of the imperial court, so it is inappropriate to let Qin Li come, right?" Although he has made great contributions to the imperial court, he is still young after all. Although Lao Chen has not been in contact with him, he must be biased when he thinks about the problem. Because he has too little experience. ”
Although Wang Qiong knew that Qin Li was Yang Tinghe's son-in-law, Wang Qiong still dared to speak when it came to matters related to etiquette. Because he knew that Yang Tinghe was an understanding person, he thought about it and said that Yang Tinghe would definitely understand what he said just now.
Sure enough, Yang Tinghe opened his old eyes and said, "Queen Mother, what Lord Wang said just now is very true, Qin Li is still young, so don't spoil him." It is indeed inappropriate for him to attend such an occasion. ”
In fact, from the heart of the Queen Mother, her views are naturally different from those of these old ministers. She thinks that Qin Li is a bold person, and his ideas are peculiar, but they are reasonable. Qin Li is a person who thinks things very carefully. But these courtiers didn't seem to approve of Qin Li's participation, so Empress Dowager Zhang also nodded lightly. After all, many things in the future will still depend on these old ministers.
However, Empress Dowager Zhang then said, "Xiao Li is indeed not suitable for deliberations, but this palace also wants to ask for opinions, so let's use it as a reference!" (To be continued.) )
