Chessboard alley, study in front of Shen Mansion

After the emperor gave the order, the news spread to the Shen Mo Mansion after just a cup of tea. Lu Lun asked for instructions, whether to arrest people immediately, or delay until tomorrow.

"What does a gentleman think?" Shen Mo's eyebrows were furrowed, and he looked at Wang Yin and Shen Mingchen who were roasting the fire. Shen Mingchen shrunk his neck, shook his head and said, "In the current situation, we don't have the ability to see through it. ”

"It's not that you can't see through, you can't find hope." Wang Yin said lightly: "The little emperor's tough posture is to demonstrate to the government and the opposition, I have grown up, you have to stop taking me seriously." If the little emperor wants to seize power, he must first pass you. As he spoke, he looked at Shen Mo and said, "It seems that it has always been a matter of concern to adults, but in fact, the greetings are all directed at you." ”

"Yes......" Shen Mo sighed heavily, and said: "I don't know what Yang Xindu was in his heart in the past; Lychee. "Yang Xindu is Yang Tinghe. In the past, when Wuzong died as the heir, he welcomed Wuzong's cousin Zhu Houxu into the capital to ascend the throne, and urged the emperor to owe Heng the opportunity to govern the government, expand the power in the hands of the cabinet, and wanted to make the cabinet gain the right to decide state affairs...... According to his knowledge of the eight emperors, the hope of success seems to be very high. Zhu Houxu inherited the ego, paranoia and arrogance of his ancestors, in the FFF dictionary, there is no 'compromise 7 two words, for his own decay, he is not afraid to use all means to defeat the enemy It doesn't matter.

Although later generations know that the result of the desperate fight to the end was the bloody efforts of Yang Ting and Zhishi, Zuo Shunmen, the excessive power of the cabinet was suppressed, and the imperial power was revived. However, at the beginning, at least Yang Ting and Fang Jin, they both thought that they would win. The contrast in strength between the two sides is so great, on the emperor's side, Ping Pong has him and his mother, while Yang Tinghe is an official of the Manchu Dynasty.

How similar is the asituation today to a pair of orphans and widows who occupy a supreme position, a clique of civil servants who have taken complete control of the country? That's why silence makes this sigh.

Seeing that the silence and sadness could not be hidden, Wang Yin smiled and comforted: "There is no need for adults to be disturbed by the story of Yang Xindu, don't you often say that if you regard history as fate, you will definitely repeat history." If we turn history into a lesson, will we create and discover new history? ”

"Yes, in the past, Yang Xindu's authority was too heavy, and he kicked all the officials out of the capital, and as a result, outside the capital, it was positive; There are many enemies. When he and the emperor fought, those people naturally joined the emperor's camp, and as a result, the struggle between the ministers and the emperor became the struggle between the two factions, and the emperor became the referee, so how can there be any reason to be undefeated? Shen Mingchen said: "My lord is different, your preferential treatment of officials and scholars in the world is unprecedented, as long as we accept his lesson, we will definitely not suffer from the enemy and repeat his tragedy." ”

"What the sentence says is very true." Wang Yin twisted his beard and said:

"Your Majesty, this is a problem for you, but isn't it a good opportunity? The funeral of Zhang Jiangling's father (mother) has been in an uproar, but you have been silent, knowing that you understand your intentions, but you don't know, but you still think that you are afraid of the emperor and dare not protect morality. After a pause, he said with some excitement: "The emperor arrested them, but you tried your best to rescue them, this is a great opportunity to confess your position to the officials of the world, but there is no need to directly target Zhang Juzheng!" ”

......" muttered silently for a moment, "Can you save him from prison?" ”

"It's impossible! First, without their sacrifices, how could the officials of the world be awakened and let them come in unity. Wang Yin said coldly: "Both, since you have chosen this unprecedented path, you must do something and not do something, first of all, you must not foul!" The slightest mistake will turn the face of the moral soil with you as the leader, and make you an enemy of the people. ”

"Yes......" Shen Mo slowly bowed his head and said: "In this game of chess, we don't seem to be in a bad position, but we are too passive." ”

"No way, your opponent is not the mother and son in the palace, but the supremacy of imperial power for two hundred years." Wang Yin deeply agreed: "We can make too few moves now...... he said that he shouldn't say such frustrating words, so he laughed and said: "Fortunately, the mouthfuls have long realized that your six-year new policy is actually digging a six-year pit for the emperor." If he doesn't move like the first emperor, he will naturally not be able to get into the pit. But now it seems that he is not a good stubble, but more like Sejong. ”

"I'm not afraid of him tossing, I'm afraid he won't toss," Shen Mingchen also smiled hesitantly: "Let's take a look at this Wanli Emperor, what kind of toss the country into!" ”

"This feeling of using others as pawns," Shen Mo slowly shook his head, "It's really bad. ”

"Adults must get used to it as soon as possible," Wang Yin said in a deep voice: "Since you made that decision in the sixth year of Longqing, you should say that this world will eventually become a chess battle between you and Emperor Wanli!" The winner will have the opportunity to make the world run as he wishes! For the sake of this goal, what is there that must not be sacrificed to be able to nick! After a pause, he said, "What's more, it won't be a ......."

"In order to achieve political goals, you have to sacrifice others, and this political model is too barbaric." Shen Mingchen also advised:

"Isn't the system that the adults want to establish is to avoid this life-and-death and to provide a civilized solution to the political struggle? If it can really be powerful, can I make the Chinese nation spill a lot less blood? ”

"I have no woman's kindness." Shen Mo shook his head and said: "I just thought that in the past, Xu Ge Lao also sacrificed the three of them like this, such as 7e Shilai, Dong Chuance, and Zhang Can, in order to arouse the disgust of the people of the world towards Yan Song, and I am doing this now, what is the difference between him and him?" As he spoke, he walked to the window, pushed open the window, looked at the dark night outside, and said faintly: "Even if it is a noble goal, it needs dirty means to accomplish it, it is really too sad......" I don't know if he is talking about his own sorrow, or sighing for the politicians of this era.

That night, the Jinyi Weiti rode out in all directions, detained Wu Zhongxing, Zhao Yongxian, Shen Enxiao, and Ai Mu from their homes and threw them into the prison of the Zhenfu Division. The next day, just after dawn, he was ordered to bring them out of the prison and escort them to the noon gate to push them down and kneel. The four of them had been kneeling all night yesterday, their knees were all bruised and bloody, and the bricks were as hard as iron, and as soon as their knees were pressed up, the place where the blood had just been scabbed was worn out again, and the blood seeped out and wet the legs, which was thrilling.

This day is not the day of the Great Dynasty, and the people who only have the cabinet of the six branches saw this situation for the first time. When the officials of the cabinet saw the tragic situation of the four people, Dengri was in an uproar. They loudly questioned those Ti Cavalry, why they were so cruel to the four officials!

Although the errand was done by Jinyiwei, it was Li Yong, the eunuch who supervised the celebrant and the eunuch Bingbi, and when everyone asked, he said with a straight face:

"Hugh is noisy, this is the holy decree!" "The Divine Decree, where did the Divine Decree come from?" Officials were furious.

Li Yong was prepared, took out the yellow silk from his sleeve and showed it to the official Ding Chuan, and sneered: "There's nothing to say now, right?" ”

Saying that, he raised his voice and said: "I can see it clearly, this is the end of bullying Zhai Gang!" ”

The officials were not suppressed, but became more and more boiling:

"No, it's a mess! During the six years of his reign, the first emperor never treated a minister like this. Although it is still young, the name of mercy spreads throughout the country. It must be you people who are instigating the emperor to do a thousand such things! ”

"Yes, even if the four of them commit a crime, the emperor can order the law department to try it, and direct criminal detention is not the way for the king!" The baas rubbed their hands and said, "We want to return this edict!" Please ask the emperor to hand over the case to the legal department! ”

"Ridiculous, absurd......" Over the years, the eunuchs have been shocked by civil officials. Li Yong was very inward-looking, and when he saw that he didn't suppress the civil officials at all, he panicked, and hurriedly beckoned a team of cavalry to come over, and then he maintained the pomp, and then he barely calmed down: "The holy will is not violated, and if you talk nonsense, even you will be arrested together!" ”

"You're catching!" In the Ming Dynasty, if you haven't been rectified by the emperor, you are embarrassed to say that you are in the middle of the matter, so a group of section chiefs and staff members got excited and said, "We are honored!" ”

"It's the opposite, it's the other way around!" Li Yong really didn't dare to be the master, and when he was panicking, he saw the sedan chair of the cabinet chief assistant coming over, and shouted as if he had seen a rescuer: "Shen, Mr. Shen, come and take care of your subordinates, it's too ...... It's so unlikely. "Actually, Gonggong Li is not stammering, but he is nervous.

The sedan chair stopped, and it was indeed the cabinet chief assistant who came out silently, seeing this scene, he frowned and said, "What's the matter?" "It's convenient for you to tell you and me a sentence, and tell you what just happened.

"Gonggong Li is ashamed, the Six Science Corridor is a self-reliant institution of the imperial court, and it is only responsible to the emperor, and the cabinet cannot control it." After hearing the Li Wei, he said to Li Yong silently.

"Ah......" Li Yonggang was about to despair, but when he saw him, he turned to those officials and said: "You are so noisy and shouting, what kind of seclusion has you become, is it possible that the imperial court is set up to scold the streets?" ”

In the face of Shoufu, who had more rules in the matter, and was obedient and obedient, they could hear the first sentence of silence, that is, 'the shadow can't control them', so they had the clever understanding and said: "Yuan Zhi Mingjian, we didn't mean to make noise, but I didn't know why these four people were wearing shackles here to show the public, so I stepped forward to ask." ”

"Why—" Shen Mo asked.

"It's just the emperor's will." In the middle of the matter, they hurriedly handed the yellow silk to Shen Mo.

Shen Mo took it, looked at it, and then put it in his sleeve and said to everyone: "This matter is actually not clear to the official, wait for me to face the saint l0 to find out." After finishing speaking, he ignored no one, sat directly on the sedan chair, and entered the noon gate.

As soon as he came and left, the officials and eunuchs were a little enlightened, and it took a long time to come back to their senses, so let's wait...... I heard that Shoufu asked to see, and the hearts of Fuli's mother and son were pumped one by one, but it was not a crime to hide and not see, so I had to order someone to set up a curtain in Wenhua Palace, and Empress Dowager Li accompanied Wanli to see him.

After silently saluting and watching the seat, without waiting for him to speak, Li Guifei behind the bead curtain spoke first: "Yuanfu is entrusted by the first emperor, and he must not let people bully our orphans and widows!" Her original intention was to make silent pleading words unable to open her mouth, but she didn't realize that as soon as she said this, she directly put herself in the position of the weak, who do people bully like you if they don't bully?

In fact, this is not Li Guifei's real level, but the fear left by the silence in the past years was too deep, and when she saw him, she unconsciously softened.

Even the little emperor couldn't stand it anymore, so he secretly flipped through the white limit and said to Shen Mo: "Sir, are you here for the four people outside the noon gate?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, exactly." Shen Mo bowed his head and said: "I don't know how these four people provoked the emperor and will attract the wrath of thunder?" ”

The little emperor replied: "The story of the ancestors, if the official does not attack the auxiliary ministers, he must be given a court staff...... My imperial grandfather had attacked Yan Song for the minister, and ordered the court staff to pass through the ......" As he spoke, his voice became smaller and quieter, as he saw Shen Mo smiling. The two have been teachers and students for six years, and Wanli knows that as long as Mr. Shen smiles, he will explain that he is wrong: "I ...... Did you say something wrong? ”

"Hehe......" smiled silently: "The emperor is well-read and strong, and Weichen is deeply pleased. It's just that this allusion is not used very well. What kind of minister Yan Song is has long been determined. The holy name of the temple was also covered with dust because of the care of Yan Song. You cite this 1 gangster, you are comparing Zhang Ge Lao to Yan Song! ”

"This ......" Wanli said a little crampedly, "I have not considered it. He bit his lower lip, and his face became firm again, and said, "But I think the ancestors and the ancestors have all fought, and I have also beaten them." ”

"Hehe......" Shen Mo shook his head slightly and said: "I don't know who told the emperor this, he really deserves to be killed."

I saw that the bead curtain trembled slightly, and it was obvious that the person who should be killed was erect there.

"Isn't that right?" Wanli frowned.

"It's really wrong, but this doesn't blame the emperor." Shen Qian said gently: "It was the ministers who thought that you would never use the court staff, so they never talked about it in detail for the emperor. ”

"Sir, please." Wanli had to be patient.

"The court staff was indeed created by the Taizu of this dynasty. Emperor Taizu immediately won the world, and His Majesty carried the harshness of military law, and he could peel off the skin and fill the grass with ten taels of corruption, and the creation found that the court staff naturally appeared layer by layer. However, during the Hongwu period, only Ru Liusu, the head of the Criminal Department, and Xue Xiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, were executed. After that, Emperor Weizu was also a martial artist, but he did not use the extension staff during the Yongle period, and Renzong Tongbai was like this. The only time Emperor Xuanzong beat to death the squire of the military department, it was because of personal grudges, which also became a stain on Emperor Xuanzong's life. It can be seen that it is slanderous to say that there is a tradition of court staff in this dynasty. After a pause, he said, "What really made the court staff abnormal were the three famous eunuchs. During the orthodox years, Wang Zhen was in power, Shangshu Liu Zhongfu, waiters Wu Xi, Chen Lin, and Li Shimian were all subject to court staffs. During the Weihua period, the eunuch Wang blindly rebelled in the government, and once prepared the court for five or six people such as Li Jun and Wang Jun in the matter. Yushi Xu Jin was blamed for Wang Zhi, and was also beaten to death by the court staff. "During the Zhengde period, Liu Jin was dictatorial, and the use of the court staff was even more fierce. In the first year of Zhengde, Liu Jin drove the scholars Liu Jian and Xie Qian to Jingshi, aroused the anger of the scholars, and gave 21 people such as Ai Hong in the matter and Dai Mo in Nanjing to the matter, or named them alone, or several people named them, and asked Liu and Xie to stay and impeach Liu Jin at the same time. Yi Jin added oil and vinegar in front of Wu Zong, and asked for the holy decree, and all the twenty-one people were detained, and each court staff was thirty. Among them, Dai Hoe suffered the heaviest punishment, and died under the rod at that time. Yushi Jiang Qin was sparse three times, three times with a cane, each time with a cane of thirty, and the third time after receiving the cane, he died in prison for three days. My pilgrim Yang Minggong was the chief of Bingtian at that time, and Liu Jin falsely preached the holy decree, beat him to death with fifty canes, and then demoted him to Guizhou Longchang Yicheng......"

"Ah......" After listening to the silent narration, Wanli said movingly: "Even Yang Minggong has been beaten by the court staff?" "After fifty years of research, Wang Yangming has become a sage-like existence in this dynasty, and he has also received a court rod when I heard about him, and the shock to the little emperor can be imagined.
