Chapter 244: Aftermath (6)
"He said, he said that this house was originally looted by us eunuchs in the name of His Majesty, regardless of the lives of the people, and they were all people's fat and people's ointment, and it was cheaper for us to be eunuchs, so it was better to cheapen him!"
Speaking of this, Tian Yi cried again: "Your Majesty, we, these eunuchs, have no descendants and roots, we like that little yellow and white thing, but we have never used the name of Your Majesty to search for people's fat and people's ointment, Your Majesty, we have been wronged, over the years, not to mention those little cubs, even the old slaves have only saved less than five hundred taels of silver......"
"Enough!"
Boom! Crash! Another teacup smashed to the ground!
Wanli paced back and forth angrily, pacing for less than two steps before he roared: "Catch the old dog for me, go and catch him for me, tell Sun Xian to go, tell Sun Xian to go and catch that bastard for me!" ”
Tian Yi hurriedly got up and said, "Yes, yes, the old slave will go, the old slave will go!" ”
"Get out, get out of here, get out of here!"
Wanli is really angry, otherwise he wouldn't call himself 'I' instead of 'I', don't look at Wanli Jing doing some ridiculous things, but he still cares very much about the people below and the people's opinion of him, otherwise he wouldn't have to go to war with the outside world in order to win a good reputation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It is precisely because of the frequent wars with foreign countries that the treasury is extremely empty, and the rats have been completely run away in Taicang, in order to get some silver to replenish Taicang, he asked the eunuchs to go below to collect mining taxes.
Unexpectedly, his move was actually said by his most trusted person to be looting people's fat and people's ointment, do you think he can not be angry?
The people he trusted the most said that he didn't care about the lives of the people for the sake of silver, and looted the people's fat and ointment, what did those officials think? What do the people think? What will history say about him in a hundred years?
Originally, because of the issue of the crown prince, he had already fallen out with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and seized such an opportunity, and they didn't write me as the world's first faint king?
Soon, the news that Wanli dropped two cups was spread, of course, the first to know about it were several auxiliary ministers of the cabinet.
In today's cabinet, there are only two cabinet elders, one is the second assistant Zhang Wei, and the other is the third assistant Shen Zheng, the first assistant is still sick, but Zhao Zhigao is not lying about illness, but really sick, the body and bones have not been very good over the years, the last time I was sick with anger, and now I haven't been able to get out of bed.
Originally, Zhao Zhigao was about to die, in history, he was said to be sick in October of the 26th year of Wanli, until he died in September of the 29th year of Wanli, although he was still the first assistant during this time, he never took care of things.
Now it is Zhang Wei who really presides over the overall situation in the cabinet, but Shen has always refused to accept Zhang Wei, and the 'war' between the two has reached the point of white heat.
Zhang Wei is in power, Shen has always been even more even, the two of them are obsessed with power, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is to the point of pathology, whether it is the evaluation of the previous face of history or the performance in this parallel world today.
But there is a big difference between the two, that is, there are not many people under Zhang Wei's hands, while the people under Shen Zheng's hands are really a large number of people.
The two of them reacted very differently to this matter, Zhang Wei heard that His Majesty had dropped two glasses, but he just smiled and didn't say anything or do anything, but Shen Cheng was keenly aware of something, and hurriedly ordered someone to invite Xu Zuo, the waiter who was in charge of the work in the Ministry of Works.
Xu Zuo can be described as a unique scenery at this time, at this time, he acted as a squire in charge of the Ministry of Engineering, and also served as the right capital of the imperial history, and also as the right capital of the imperial history of the control of the capital of the Imperial Academy.
Shen has always wanted to try his best to win over Xu Zuo, but this guy has been swaying and has not really invested in either Shen Cheng or Zhang Wei.
Xu Zuo hurriedly arrived in the office of the cabinet Shen Zuo, and as soon as he saw Shen Zuo, he said, "Ziwei, why did you call me in a hurry?" ”
Shen Cheng turned around from behind the case with a smile, came to Xu Zuo's side and said with a smile: "Come, come, Brother Huai, sit down!" ”
After Xu Zuo sat down, Shen Cheng personally served Xu Zuo a cup of tea, and then sat on the upper hand seat and said with a smile: "Brother Huai, there is news from inside today!" ”
Kindness? Xu Zuo's action of drinking tea paused slightly, he didn't know what Shen Cheng meant by suddenly saying this clueless sentence.
Shen Yi smiled lightly and said: "It is said that Luo Sigong sent a secret music from Shandong in an expedited manner for eight hundred miles, although I don't know the content of this secret music yet, but it is said that His Majesty dropped two cups after knowing about it!" ”
"Oh?" Xu Zuo suddenly became interested: "I dropped two cups, Ziwei means that there is a big incident in Shandong again?" ”
Shen Yi nodded and said: "Now Shandong is full of heroes, not only is the chief catcher of the six gates here, but Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, is also there, and today I heard that Sun Xian is going to ......go over."
"Huh?" Xu Zuo was even more interested when he heard that Sun Xian, the factory father of the East Factory, was going to Shandong: "Shandong has really become a place of wrestling, in this way, the six doors, Jinyiwei and the East Factory are all here, and that matter must be not small!" ”
Shen Yi nodded and said: "I heard that Li Chengxun, the general soldier of Shandong, and Brother Huai are inextricably linked, and the original impeachment of Li Chengxun has already flown all over the sky, if there is any major incident this time, then Li Chengxun's position will be ......."
The relationship between Li Chengxun and Xu Zuo is more than intersecting, the two are in-laws, and Xu Zuo's eldest son took Xu Zuo's youngest daughter.
Hearing Shen always mention Li Chengxun, he still didn't understand the purpose of Shen Cheng calling him here.
"Ziwei, a gentleman is a friend but not a party, although I am not a gentleman, but Ziwei is a famous gentleman in the world!"
As soon as Shen Cheng heard Xu Zuo's words, he was a little annoyed in his heart, good guy, I tried so hard to win you over, you actually told me this? also secretly sarcastically mocked me Shen has always been not a gentleman enough!
If it weren't for the fact that you are also in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I would rarely take care of you, a fat-headed waiter of the Ministry of Works?
"Brother Huai, this is a bad word, who doesn't know that your brother Huaizhong is a model of a gentleman at that time, Brother Huaizhong, although the gentleman is not a party, but he should also take care of each other in some things, otherwise the court is full of traitors, how can the gentleman protect himself?"
Full of traitors? I'm going to do it! Xu Zuo saw that Shen had always sworn not to give up if he didn't pull Xu Zuo on the boat.
If you can't get on Shen Zheng's boat, Xu Zuo has already made a good score in his heart, you Shen Zheng is only one or three assistants, and you still want to win me over? It's too underestimating my Xu Zuo! Don't say that I, Xu Zuo, are now in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, let's just say that I, Xu Zuo, are now acting in the Ministry of Engineering, how many princes and ministers are begging me? If you want to get on a boat, you have to get on a big boat!
Besides, what does it matter to me whether Li Chengxun lives or dies? Just because it's a family of children? Don't talk nonsense, in this officialdom, even if you are your own father, you can't save your future!
"Ziwei, what is wrong with this Li Chengxun, you can do what you want, don't worry about me!"
Shen Zheng's face darkened all of a sudden, okay, you Xu Zuo, this is a shameless face!
"Brother Huai, in this way, it's a little unkind!"
"Haha!" Xu Zuo laughed and said: "Ziwei is wrong, you and I are both important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, a third assistant, and a royal history of the Imperial Procuratorate, if you and I are favoritistic, what righteousness does this court have?" ”
After saying this, without waiting for Shen to speak, he got up and arched his hand and said, "If the third assistant boss has nothing else to do, the lower official will leave!" ”
Looking at Xu Zuo who was walking out with his head up, Shen was so angry that he almost dropped the cup, what a shameless thing, if you didn't control the Metropolitan Procuratorate, even if you wanted to get on my boat, I wouldn't let you.
Since you don't care about Lee Sung-hoon's life or death, then don't blame me!
Shen Cheng snorted, turned to the back of the case, picked up the pen and wrote a letter.
"Someone!"
"My lord, what do you command?"
"Quickly send this letter to Li Chengxun and Master Li in Dengzhou, Shandong!"
"Yes! The subordinates will go! ”
"Remember, you must personally hand it over to Lee Sung-hoon!"
"Yes! Keep in mind your subordinates! ”
……
In the afternoon, when the emperor dropped two cups, everyone in the capital knew about it, but not many people knew what he was doing.
In the evening, a big event suddenly broke out in the capital, and the matter was so big that everyone was shocked.
The homes of the three marquis and five earls suddenly hung up white flags and set up a mourning hall.
At this time, the entire Jingshi was completely shocked, and the well-informed people, after hearing the inside story, were dumbfounded, good guy, the nobles who surrounded and suppressed Liu Zheng in Shandong actually died eight at once, three future marquis and five future earls.
While shocking the death of eight nobles, the civil and military officials and people of the Beijing division also sighed that this traitor Liu Zheng was really amazing, I always thought that he was just a grass coward, and he would definitely die as soon as the imperial army arrived, but I didn't expect this army to arrive in Shandong, not only did not do anything to Liu Zheng, but also took in eight noble children.
Now, it's strange that the nobles don't mess up with the Jingshi.
Sure enough, that night, Liu Zheng's industry in Beijing was swept away, and restaurants, wine workshops, salt shops, cloth shops, leather shops, etc., were all smashed by the angry nobles.
Fortunately, Liu Zheng sent the news in advance, and asked the nobles to smash it, it doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't hurt people.
After smashing Liu Zheng's industry, a large group of nobles ran to the door of the house in the middle of the night to kneel.
If you want to change the ministers, you will come to the noon gate and kneel, and if you kneel, you will kneel, even if you kneel to death at the door, Emperor Wanli will not wait to take a look.
But this kneeling is the nobles, and the Wanli Emperor can't pretend not to see it, and he can't wait to see the nobles, but no matter how he doesn't want to see them, he has to admit that these nobles are the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty.
Even if they are all a group of wine bags and rice bags, they are also the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty, some people who can coexist with the Ming Dynasty at critical moments, and people who the emperor can trust at critical moments.
Although they couldn't open the door and let them in, they had to make a statement, so Tian Yi and Chen Ju hurriedly rushed out.
As soon as they saw Tian Yi and Chen Ju coming out, the nobles surrounded the two of them at once.
