325 Court disputes
Lian Zining stood up and waited, and this wait was half an hour.
At this time, a trace of fish belly white had risen in the sky, and then, the sky was bright, and it was almost seven o'clock now.
Although he has been waiting for a long time, Lian Zining's body is still standing straight, and the soles of his feet are not bad, at this time, the advantage of his perennial exercise is revealed, and he does not feel so tired.
After calming down, he was not in a hurry, knowing that this dynasty would generally last for a long time, and there were a lot of affairs to deal with, and it was only right that he couldn't take his turn for a while.
But he didn't know that he had become the focus of the entire court at this time.
Above the Mukden Hall.
The Great Dynasty will not know the way in the TV interpretation of later generations, the emperor is in the center, the ministers are on both sides, or the arrangement of the left and the right, in fact, the emperor is holding the throne high, sitting in the north and facing the south, and the ministers are in the direction of the emperor, facing the emperor, standing according to the pattern of Wendong and Wuxi, leaving a big road in the middle, which is clearly distinguished. Standing in order from the highest to the lowest, you can see that with the emperor's throne as the center, three rings of red, blue, and green are formed.
The Fengtian Hall is extremely large, and it does not seem crowded when there are thousands of people standing in the hall, and the windows of the hall are open, and the wind blows in, and it is not stuffy, but it is inevitable that there are many people standing in the corner, and even the emperor's face cannot be seen.
The secretary of the military department, the fourth assistant of the cabinet, Lord Gui Cao, has just informed the emperor that all the local troops who participated in the battle of the northern expedition have arrived in the capital, and the military department has returned the official documents, except for the Wu Yi army stationed in the Jingnan camp, the rest have been stationed in the original Jingwei, and now the Fengbei camp has long been abandoned and has begun to rectify.
Emperor Zhengde nodded, did not speak, just waited for the courtiers to continue to play.
I saw a blue-robed official in the courtiers' queue unhurriedly, about thirty years old, with a thin figure, thin lips, and a pair of thin eyes.
He walked to the center of the royal road and said in a deep voice: "Minister, Like is in the middle of the matter, Song Dawu, there is a play!" ”
As a third-grade waiter, Dai Zhangpu stood very far forward, and when he heard this name, he immediately frowned imperceptibly.
In the Ming Dynasty, he was in charge of the attendants, admonished, supplemented, picked up, audited, and refuted the edicts, refuted the edicts of the hundred divisions, supervised the six departments, impeached the hundred officials, and complemented each other with the imperial history. In addition, it is responsible for recording and compiling the edicts and supervising the implementation of the departments; The township test is the examiner, the same examiner will be the examiner, and the palace test will be the examiner; When canonizing clans, vassals, or admonishing foreign countries, they shall be appointed as righteous and deputy envoys; Acceptance of unjust lawsuits, etc.
And a position with such a lot of power, the rank is not high - Zhengde has set twelve people in the matter, two people in each of the six departments, one person for the matter, one for the matter, one for the matter, all for the matter, all for the matter, all for the matter, and for the matter, from the seventh.
This is the same level as Wu Daliang, the county commander of Le*Ling*, of course, the power of the two is not the same.
The so-called science and technology, this science is the general name of the supervision agency of the Ming Dynasty: the six departments to the matter and the thirteen supervision of the Imperial History. Officials of the 100 departments inside and outside the country were ordered to inspect in Beijing, patrol the localities outside, supervise the prefectures and counties, examine the officials, correct illegal acts, and rectify the discipline. And the six branches give much more power than the then.
This official position can be said to be a typical example of low character and weight. And because of the low grade of the people, they are generally young people who have just won the Jinshi and have not long been in charge, young people have momentum and dare to speak, that is, they say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing, and the impact is not great, they are all within the controllable range, and the emperor will not punish them too much, so it makes them act unscrupulously, and it can create some trouble for those court bigwigs. The battles in the court were all fought in the ring by the imperial history and the people in the matter, acting as the vanguard.
Dai Zhangpu was a little uneasy in his heart, the last time he impeached Lian Zining because of the leader, there was this Wu Daliang, but I don't know why he jumped out again at this time?
And these things are controlled by the officials of the department, and their behavior also represents the thoughts of the officials of the department, after the last time there was a Song Dawu incident, Dai Zhangpu also went to visit Dong Qichang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, at that time he was full of promises, and his words were very beautiful, but now what is the mind of Ande?
He looked at Dong Qichang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who was standing in front of him, and saw that he was just like an old monk who had entered the meditation, his face was expressionless, and he scolded the old fox in a low voice.
Emperor Zhengde said lightly; "Speak!"
Song Dawu cleared his throat and said, "Minister, impeach Lian Zining, President of the Wuyi Army." ”
On April 17, in Le * Ling * County, he led people to slaughter Liu Mou, a native of Jinan Prefecture, and killed 37 people in Liu's house, all of whom were beheaded for fun. His actions are heinous and tragic! The people of Le * Ling * County are surging, the crowd is excited, such evil fangs, not killing is not enough to be angry with the people, not killing is not enough to thank the people of the world, the minister implores, this fang will be arrested and brought to justice, and the punishment will be corrected to sacrifice the soul! ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a small buzz in the court, they were all officials, so they naturally knew that there were few good people who were officials, and how many officials did not have a few lives under their hands? Haven't killed a few people directly or indirectly? But Lian Zining acted so arrogantly and blatantly, which is a little incomprehensible.
And this is really too much, the officials of the Ming Dynasty pay attention to a person who is the same as the light and the dust, and he can stumble under the knife behind his back, but he must have a smile on his face.
When Zhengde heard it, his face did not change, but he was already a little unhappy in his heart, since Lian Zining's life was only as he first saw it, he knew this person, and later he became a military attaché, suppressed bandits, guarded six counties, and went to Fusang, he paid attention to this scene, and saw it in his heart. For this outstanding young man of Yunwen Yunwu, he actually admires it very much in his heart, Lian Zining has been promoted so quickly, in addition to Dai Zhangpu's operation, Jian Zai is inseparable from the emperor's heart.
But he was a little disappointed at the moment, yes, disappointed, not angry. In the hands of this emperor who has ruled the world for decades, what are dozens of lives? There was no reason to make him angry at all, he just felt that Lian Zining did this, it was so obvious, so ugly, and even a little stupid, which inevitably made him feel that he was looking at the wrong person.
I also have some disbelief in my heart, can such a good, outstanding, and knowledgeable young man do such a stupid thing?
Just thinking about it, a green-robed official came out of the queue and said: "Minister, Qiao Nian, the imperial history of the Imperial Palace, has a play!" ”
Zhengde's face was expressionless: "Speak!" ”
Wang Qiaonian said loudly: "The ministers are patrolling the city and the imperial history, collecting information among the people, and hearing about it. The minister has heard that in the past half month, there have been six more shops specializing in jewelry in the capital, and some wealthy merchants everywhere have bought a lot of high-quality jewelry. Curious, the minister made a little inquiry, and found that all these jewels came from the business of President Wu Yijun Lian Zining's family, and these jewels were all obtained from Fusang. ”
"The minister impeached the member of the presidential company of Wu Yijun, who went to Fusang, not thinking about sharing worries for His Majesty and solving problems for the imperial court, but he filled his own pockets and did not report it, deliberately concealing the saint. If such people do not punish their crimes, how can they be punished and disciplined? ”
After saying this, the courtiers were a little disappreciative on their faces, and secretly scolded this guy in their hearts.
In these years, who is not desperately trying to make money while he has the power in hand? To do a job and get some benefits by the way, this is the proper meaning, everyone knows it, you have to poke it out, in case the emperor has a whim, to investigate this thoroughly? Who's clean on the ass? That is, you are such a poor imperial history, and there is no benefit to be made!
Emperor Zhengde's brows couldn't help but twist slightly.
Lin Xiongqi, the eunuch who was standing on the side and waiting, jumped in his heart, and quickly lowered his head, as an old man who had served Emperor Zhengde for decades, he knew very well what this supreme's every move represented. The emperor is already very old, he will not get angry easily, and he is becoming more and more happy and angry, such an action means that his heart is already angry!
As an emperor, Zhengde, like all emperors, has a common problem - he regards the world as his own. And it stands to reason that the loot that Lian Zining captured in Fusang should naturally be sacrificed, of course, he also knows that these officials always have to reap benefits, and he has been used to seeing these over the years, and he doesn't bother to pursue it. But you have to give at least some of it, don't you? Okay! Don't say it's a little profit for us now, you don't even say a word, and you swallow it quietly!
Zhengde didn't care about these things, but felt Lian Zining's contempt for himself!
This is something he cannot tolerate.
The Son of Heaven is angry, but he wants to die!
Song Dawu stole his eyes and knocked on Emperor Zhengde's expression, and his heart was full of pride, and he secretly said in his heart that Sun Gongzi was really wise. Today is the time when Lian Zining entered the palace to face the saint, he has just made a great achievement, he must be full of ambition, without the slightest defense, and at this time, he was caught off guard!
Sure enough, it worked in one fell swoop! Looking at the emperor's expression, this time Lian Zining is really going to be finished!
He is now waiting for the emperor to say two words of thorough investigation, as long as the case is handed over to the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, even if there is no evidence, he has to give the whole evidence! For them, it's just a piece of cake.
In fact, sometimes the emperor is also very sad, although he is high, although he is majestic in the world, although he is the supreme of Kyushu, but after a long time, he is also unconsciously, and his subordinates are tempered to figure it out. Those favored ministers of all dynasties and dynasties have all guessed the emperor's thoughts thoroughly, like the Qianlong Emperor who claimed to be a perfect martial artist and a perfect old man, wasn't he also played by the first corrupt official in history and Shen?
Who is more proud? I'm afraid that He Shen doesn't look down on Qianlong very much.
The protégés and confidants of Dai Zhangpu's family in the DPRK and the central government all looked at Dai Zhangpu, and they naturally knew the relationship between Dai Zhangpu and Lian Zining, and they were about to jump out when he gave an order, so they had to muddy the water today! But seeing that Dai Zhangpu was not in a hurry at this time, he squinted his eyes slightly, and did not mean to speak at all.
He also knows Zhengde very well, and knows that speaking at this time will only have a negative effect, and it is better not to say it.
Zhang Yanchang stood at the front of the military attache sequence, his status was honorable and he was a relative, but he had no scruples, so he came out and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, didn't you recruit Lian Zining to enter the palace and face the saint?" Why don't you invite in for a Q&A, and have a good explanation! ”
As soon as he spoke, there were also many military attachés who came out to say good things for Lian Zining, after all, Lian Zining was not only a military attaché, but also a military attache who was born in a literati, and he has become famous recently, so he is naturally regarded as his own by these military ministers. Hearing that a group of civil officials were attacking their own people, they were already indignant in their hearts, and when they saw someone taking the lead, they naturally responded in groups.
Seeing this scene, Zhengde was also a little groaning, so he asked Lin Xiongqi: "Where is Lian Zining now?" ”
Lin Xiongqi replied respectfully: "If you go back to the Long Live Lord, you are waiting outside the hall at this time. ”
Zhengde said: "Xuan! ”
Lin Xiongqi sang loudly: "Xuan, Lian Zining will see you!" ”
The golden gourd warrior standing in the hall also sang loudly, and the sound passed down layer by layer until the outside of the hall.
Lian Zining heard the summons, took a deep breath, straightened the black veil on his head, hugged the box in his arms tightly, and walked slowly towards the main hall. The guards at the entrance of the main hall checked the official card and checked that they did not carry a sharp blade before they were released.
When Lian Zining walked into the main hall, everyone's eyes were focused on him.
All of them, more or less have heard of this dazzling and dazzling name, if a song of life is only as first seen, the world will move the world, and the world will think that it is the first word book in the world after the two Song Dynasty! After that, there was silence, and when everyone thought that he was exhausted, he responded to everyone's doubts with a song outside Zhengyang Gate with a lifetime and a couple, although only two words and two words came out, but they were all amazing and brilliant works, and since then, he has been regarded as the first word person in the world!
And at this time, he was from the pen.
led a newly established army to the south to exterminate the white-robed rebels, fought successively, and gained great prestige, and also changed the view that the local soldiers in the capital could not fight and were squeamish in the eyes of the foreign guards.
Then he was ordered to go to Fusang by boat, and these news had reached the capital, saying that Wu Yijun had killed a corpse mountain and a sea of blood in Fusang, and brought back a thousand heads to the emperor!
For Lian Zining, there are few of them who have not heard of it, but few of them have actually seen it.
At this time, I was surprised to find that Lian Zining, who was famous all over the world and Yunwen Yunwu, turned out to be just a young man who looked less than twenty years old!
His face is like a crown of jade, elegant and elegant, without the slightest rude and uncivilized atmosphere of a martial artist, and a word pops up in many people's minds - gentleman is like jade!
The crimson official robe on his body stinged many people's eyes, he was born poor, and he was not yet a weak crown and lived in a four-grade official residence, a young hero, but that's it!
is Zhengde on the throne, and he is already dissatisfied with him, but after seeing him, there is also a hint of appreciation in his eyes that cannot be concealed.
Lian Zining didn't squint, his steps were very steady and powerful, he walked past Song Dawu, and he didn't seem to see this person at all, Song Dawu stared at his back, and there was a hint of jealousy in his eyes.
Finally, when he walked to the throne and was still ten steps away from the throne, Lian Zining put down the burden in his hand, knelt on the ground, kowtowed three times in a proper manner, and said loudly; "Chen Lian Zining, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
His voice was very loud, at least the courtiers in front of him heard it sincerely, and as soon as these words came out, those ministers showed a look of surprise in their eyes, which was Zhengde, and after being slightly stunned, there was also a smile on their faces.
It turned out that Lian Zining only saw the ministers in the later generations shouting long live, and said so, but he didn't know that this long live was invented by the pigtail dynasty, which was an out-and-out fresh word in the Ming Dynasty!
He was such a clever man that he immediately realized the mistake he had made, but fortunately, it seemed to be a good mistake.
I heard an old and majestic voice on the royal platform: "Are you Lian Zining?" Flatten! ”
Lian Zining stood up, and he felt countless eyes sweeping over him, he just lowered his eyebrows and did not move like a mountain.
"The rumors are good, Lian Aiqing is really a talent, but someone impeached you just now, what do you have to say?" Zhengde stared at Lian Zining and said slowly, no joy or anger could be heard in his voice.
Lian Zining was shocked, he naturally didn't know what was happening in the palace, but he didn't expect that he was impeached again, thinking that it was the two who stood in the queue just now. But he didn't show a panicked expression on his face, his face didn't change, he arched his hand to Zhengde, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty doesn't know where to be guilty?" ”
Zhengde said in his heart, even if this concentration alone is very good among young people, he can appreciate it in his heart, and said to Lin Xiongqi on the side: "Tell him!" ”
Lin Xiongqi replied, shook off the dust, stepped forward with two strokes, and said in a sharp voice: "Even my lord, Shicai Like has given the matter to Lord Song Dawu and Song to impeach you for indiscriminately killing innocents in Le*ling* County, killing and injuring innocent civilians Liu in Jinan Mansion." In addition, King Qiao Nian, the king of the imperial history of the city, impeached you for embezzling treasures, concealing holy hearings, and selling them for profit during the Fusang period, can you plead guilty? ”
As soon as he heard these two charges, Lian Zining was immediately sure in his heart, he knew that what he had done was too obvious, and it would inevitably cause people to think, so he had already prepared in advance. As soon as Lin Xiongqi's words fell, his face immediately showed a mixture of surprise, shock, grievance, indignation, incredulity, etc., he lifted the front of his official robe, knelt straight to the ground, and said angrily: "Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been wronged!" ”
The indignation in his voice could be heard by anyone
