Chapter 197: Six Hundred Miles Urgent
Chen Yuting's impeachment of Wu Fanhui is over. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Wu Fanhui was about to speak, but there was nothing for him to do at the moment, but unexpectedly, the emperor spoke again.
"Wu Aiqing wants to be on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion, so he will stay today and step aside."
Wu Fanhui understood that today he was going to observe the deliberations between the emperor and the cabinet.
This is actually a manifestation of the emperor's diligence, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, can not discuss with the cabinet in the Qianqing Palace, the cabinet implements the voting system, that is, the cabinet will discuss the opinions and suggestions of the cabinet, written on the fold, and present to the emperor to make the final decision, the emperor will mark with a red font on the fold, called the red, if the proposal of the vote does not agree with the emperor, it will be held and not issued, this is called the charge, the need to issue a holy decree or an edict, is the first by the Hanlin Yuan to draft the decree and the edict, by the emperor review, In the end, the celebrant made a holy decree or edict, and the palm print eunuch stamped the jade seal and issued it.
The cabinet has to deliberate every day, and the votes are sometimes as many as dozens, which requires the emperor to have extraordinary energy, so it is possible to deal with it, otherwise it is impossible to be busy, so the eunuchs of the master of ceremonies came into being, the so-called eunuchs of the pen, is to help the emperor approve the red eunuchs, they according to the emperor's will, on the draft of the red to approve the red, and then the Hanlin Yuan drafted the holy decree or the edict according to the approval of the red.
After the emperor ascended the throne, he was extremely diligent and restored the rules of deliberation in the Qianqing Palace, which invisibly weakened the power of the eunuch Bingbi, after all, Wei Zhongxian once monopolized power, which made the emperor extremely vigilant.
Wu Fanhui silently retreated to the left of the gate.
He was still thinking about Chen Yuting's impeachment, the ominous matter of killing prisoners, it can be light or heavy, the current Yansui Governor Hong Chengchou has also done such a thing, and the court has not put a single fart, why is it his turn, it was actually Zuodu Yushi who personally came out to impeach, and it was impeached in the Qianqing Palace.
This must not be judged solely by disparities in status.
Although Hong Chengchou is the governor of Yansui, the prime minister of the northwest defense, is already the minister on which the imperial court relies on it, but he is only the second-class jinshi in the forty-fourth year of Wanli, and was awarded the director of the criminal department.
Wu Fanhui is the champion of the palace examination, Hanlin Xiu, if the development goes well, he will soon enter the Zhan Mansion, and at that time, he will be the real staff officer around the emperor, as long as he performs well, it is a matter of time before he enters the cabinet.
Wu Fanhui's starting point is much higher than Hong Chengchou's.
It is impossible for Chen Yuting not to know all this, why he wants to be impeached in person.
Wu Fanhui has just arrived at the Hanlin Academy, and has not yet shown any tendencies, neither attached to the Donglin Party, nor attached to the Zhejiang Party, but has only become the focus of attention of all parties.
Wu Fanhui thought of one thing that the emperor had just mentioned, that is, Wenyuan Pavilion was on duty.
Maybe that's the real reason.
Chen Yutai is now on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion, Wu Fanhui has returned to Hanlin Courtyard on duty, so who will do this Wenyuan Pavilion on duty, if he Wu Fanhui enters Wenyuan Pavilion on duty, then Chen Yutai will honestly return to Hanlin Academy.
Chen Yutai is Chen Yuting's younger brother and the in-law of Zhou Yanru, the first assistant to the cabinet, and the relationship is by no means ordinary.
Wenyuan Pavilion duty is the most prestigious position in Hanlin, and anyone who can serve as Wenyuan Pavilion on duty, as long as he does not rebel, as long as he is not a fool, he will definitely enter the cabinet.
Wu Fanhui finally figured it out, Chen Yuting personally came forward to impeach and kill the ominous matter of the prisoner, he explained it a little wrong, he must have been reprimanded by the emperor, at least the emperor was unhappy, then the matter of Wenyuan Pavilion on duty, there is no need to mention it at all, this opportunity is that Chen Yutai will get it safely.
If you want to promote a person, you must suppress another powerful person who threatens this person, which is a common method in officialdom and a common method in party struggle.
A hint of coldness flashed in Wu Fanhui's eyes, he absolutely believed that this matter had something to do with Zhou Yanru and Chen Yuting, and even with Chen Yutai.
Thinking of using such means to plot, I am afraid that Chen Yuting thinks too simply.
Xiong Mingyu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was making a detailed report on the mutiny of the Dengzhou General Kong Youde.
Wu Fanhui listened very carefully, although he did not look up.
Kong Youde is leading his sergeants to Dengzhou, this is because Shandong Governor Yu Dacheng and Denglai Governor Sun Yuanhua jointly issued an order, from Wuqiao to Dengzhou, the state and county yamen along the way are not allowed to block Kong Youde, let Kong Youde return to Dengzhou, the states and counties along the way do not dare to intercept, Kong Youde is also going in the direction of Dengzhou.
However, when Kong Youde passed through Laizhou City, Zhu Wancheng, the prefect of Laizhou, closed the city gate tightly, let Kong Youde go around the city, and did not allow Kong Youde to enter Laizhou City.
For this matter, Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, also reprimanded Zhu Wancheng.
After Xiong Mingyu finished reporting, the emperor asked Zhou Yanru if it was appropriate to deal with this matter like this.
Zhou Yanru looked at Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and said that the method of surrender was still feasible, after all, Kong Youde led the sergeants to mutiny because of the lack of food and grass.
This time, Wu Fanhui finally heard clearly why Kong Youde mutinied, and the reason described in history was the same, because the soldiers did not get the supply of grain and grass in Wuqiao, plundered the people, and as a result, provoked a slave who raised people, causing the sergeant to be beheaded, and the other sergeants were not convinced and killed the slave, so the matter became a big problem.
After learning of Kong Youde's mutiny, Governor Denglai strongly advocated appeasement and did not pursue it.
The imperial court also adopted Sun Yuanhua's suggestion and ordered Yu Dacheng, the governor of Shandong, and Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Denglai, to jointly handle the matter.
Wu Fanhui also heard Kong Youde's brutality, after the mutiny, Kong Youde broke through the Lingxian, Linyi and Shanghe cities belonging to Jinan Mansion in Shandong, looted and brutally killed the people in the city, almost the entire city became a ruin, which made the cave governor Yu Dacheng very angry, determined to completely exterminate Kong Youde, but he didn't know that the governor of Denglai preemptively wrote to the imperial court, and his teacher, Xu Guangqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, gave advice to the emperor, thinking that it was the best policy.
The emperor trusted and relied on Xu Guangqi very much, followed Xu Guangqi's advice, and ignored the twists and turns of Yu Dacheng, the governor of Shandong, but ordered Yu Dacheng and Sun Yuanhua to be jointly responsible for the appeasement.
When he heard this, Wu Fanhui's hands were trembling slightly.
Xu Guangqi and Sun Yuanhua made mistakes, and their pedantry led to the tragic Battle of Denglai, which led to the destruction of the Denglai recruits built by the imperial court at a great cost of money and grain, and many Hongyi cannons purchased by the imperial court also fell into the hands of Houjin.
But all this has not happened yet.
Wu Fanhui was already nervously thinking about whether he should do something.
"Your Majesty, six hundred miles are urgent, and the governor of Shandong, Lord Yu Dacheng, is urgent. . ."
Coming in was a brocade guard guarding outside the Qianqing Palace.
The Qianqing Palace suddenly fell into a deathly silence.
According to the regulations of the imperial court, all the six hundred miles of expedited twists and turns must be sent to the capital day and night, even if it is sent from the Guangzhou Mansion, it is not allowed to exceed five days, the horses and post guards of the post station are very likely to die of exhaustion when transporting the six hundred miles of expedited folds, and this kind of six hundred miles expedited work, each post station must provide the best horses prepared, and the post guards will replace the horses when they arrive at each post station, if the post guards can't bear it, Then the post guard was replaced and continued to be sent to the capital.
In the second year of Chongzhen, the emperor used 600 li to expedite and ask the army from all over the country to enter the king of Beijing and Qin to fight against the Houjin Tartars.
Wu Fanhui was also lucky, the first time he participated in the inner court proceedings, he met a six-hundred-mile rush twist.
Zhou Yanru quickly opened the recital and began to read it.
"The right deputy envoy of the minister, the governor of Shandong Yu Dacheng wept blood report: on the third day of the first month, the rebel general Dengzhou General Kong Youde, broke through the city of Dengzhou, Denglai Governor Sun Yuanhua was captured alive, the superintendent Wang Zheng, the prefect of Laizhou Wu Weicheng, the same knowledge Jia Mingjie, Penglai Zhixian Qin Shiying and other officials were captured alive, Dengzhou general soldier Zhang Keda committed suicide and martyrdom, and the officials and gentry in Dengzhou City were killed. . . In addition, the minister also heard that the rebel general Li Jiucheng appointed himself as the marshal of the capital, the rebel general Kong Youde appointed himself as the general, and the rebel general Geng Zhongming appointed himself as the general. ”
Silence, deathly silence in the Qianqing Palace.
Wu Fanhui closed his eyes a little painfully, although he lowered his head, the so-called food monarch Lu loyalty to the monarch, in this matter, Wu Fanhui is everything is for his own consideration, he can't help but make suggestions, but now it is a little late, and on such an occasion, without the right to speak, if he forcibly speaks, he will not only encounter the emperor's reprimand, but also don't think about doing it when Wenyuan Pavilion is on duty.
Xu Guangqi made a major mistake in dealing with Kong Youde's rebellion in his wise life, and this mistake will continue to continue, and finally shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.
Finally, the emperor spoke, his voice trembling a little.
"The cabinet will discuss this matter immediately, and the vote is going to be presented, and I need to think about it..."
The emperor actually stood up and walked towards the warm pavilion next to him.
After Zhou Yanru took many ministers to salute the emperor's back, he silently withdrew from the Qianqing Palace and headed towards Wenyuan Pavilion, and Wu Fanhui naturally followed to Wenyuan Pavilion.
