Chapter 910: Court Debate
Since he can become the imperial history of the left capital, in addition to implementing every instruction of Zhang Juzheng very firmly, and paying close attention to whether there will be those diehards in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Chen Wei is of course a very good speaker and a very effective person, especially in front of Zhang Juzheng. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this moment, seeing the expressions of Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Fang Fang, the secretary of the military department, who obviously agreed with his words, Chen Wei was in high spirits, and immediately said impassionedly: "Therefore, it is very inappropriate for Guangmao to ask Li Chengliang and other Liaodong military ministers who were rewarded for the crime of killing and surrendering, covering Tao Chengyu with pretentiousness, lying about the victory, and being rewarded together before the punishment!"
An Jiuyu asked Tao Chengyu to be demoted to the third rank, and the thirty-seven people who had previously made meritorious contributions were removed from the promotion rank previously granted, while Liang Menglong, the governor of Jiliao, Zhou Yong, the governor of Liaodong, and Li Chengliang, the general soldier of Liaodong, and others allowed them to resign from the grace they had originally given. As for the reward given to the sergeant soldiers, they were exempt from pursuit. This is the way to long-term peace and stability in Liaodong! ”
For Tao Chengyu's obvious bias towards the side of An Jiuyu, and even cited the personal defense of Liang Menglong, the governor of Jiliao, and Zhou Yong, the governor of Liaodong, as examples, Guangmao was naturally angry enough.
However, among today's participants, Cheng Naixuan's recital has just been transferred to the Sixth Science Gallery, and he has been facing him face to face for a while, and Zhang Juzheng has always appreciated Li Chengliang very much, and he knows that he will not be on his side. Although Shang Shufang of the Ministry of War was once as famous as Wang Chonggu, because he had said a lot of good things for the victory in Liaodong before, he was also wiped out when he shared his military exploits, and since the news of the victory spread, he has been defending Tao Chengyu. In the huge Wenhua Palace, he was fighting alone!
For a moment, Guangmao couldn't help but focus his eyes on the high throne, and the only trace of luck was born in his heart.
The emperor had just come to power, and perhaps hoped to build his prestige through this matter?
Compared with Guangmao's longing mood, Zhu Yijun, who has always been sitting upright in accordance with etiquette, is even more in a mood at this moment, and he is more uneasy.
Two days ago, Tian Yi, the head of the clerical office of the celebrant supervisor, returned to the palace to see him in a hurry, and secretly told someone to tell Feng Bao that he wanted to lie about Liaodong's victory, which shocked him so much that he almost became angry. Although the last time he exaggerated Zhang Juzheng's sedan chair because of false rumors, he immediately drove the two eunuchs who were promoted after Zhang Whale and Zhang Cheng left out of the Qianqing Palace, and then became angry with several other close attendants, and now the people around him are carefully selected by himself again. But before he could get used to it, he learned such a news that made him shocked and angry, how could he not be angry?
If it weren't for Tian Yi's hard persuasion to be patient for the time being, saying that it was better to wait until the matter was over, so as not to really be stabbed in front of the Empress Dowager Li, he was afraid that he would have to find another excuse to remove the people inside and outside the Qianqing Palace. So, knowing that Wang Fulin could persuade Zhang Juzheng to take a compromise approach, so that he, the son of heaven, could be a little powerful, Zhu Yijun would make a decision and let Tian Yi take his handwritten letter out.
In order not to give Empress Dowager Li time to intervene, he instructed Zhang Hong and Tian Yi to pay attention to the transcript and inscription book below, when Cheng Naixuan's transcript was sent yesterday evening, after he read it, he found that it was similar to the proposal that Wang Fulin asked Tian Yi to play on his behalf, and immediately lifted his spirits.
The only thing that made Zhu Yijun worry was that he had planned to summon Wang Fulin together, but whether it was to ask Tian Yi or discuss with Zhang Hong, the two of them all said that although Wang Fulin received the holy order to expose the true face of Su Ning, he had never personally checked the matter of killing and surrendering, and it was unreasonable to summon people to come. So, he could only retreat to the next best, secretly hoping that Cheng Naixuan, recommended by Wang Fulin, could have Wang Fulin's combat effectiveness, and Wang Fulin could really persuade Zhang Juzheng to make concessions as promised to Tian Yi, so that he, the son of heaven, could establish his prestige.
As the youngest and least senior person among all the people present, and on such a small-scale, high-level occasion, Cheng Naixuan Cheng naturally felt a lot of pressure in the middle of the military department. After all, although as the Six Science Corridors, court push, court discussions, courts, and banquets, many occasions are to be attended and participated, but after all, this is the first time in his life that he has met the saint at close range. If it was according to the experience that the elders had always taught him, he should have maintained a cautious and restrained attitude, but seeing Guangmao's face that had turned gray, and seeing the wandering eyes under the calm appearance of the little emperor, he gave birth to an indescribable fighting spirit.
"Your Majesty, the minister only went to the recital yesterday, and now that Guangdu has already stated his words, and Chen Zongxian has also made a statement on behalf of Liaodong Patrol according to the Nine Domains of Yu Shi'an, then the minister also wants to say a few words according to the previous recital. Tao Chengyu was greedy for merit and attacked the thief, the evidence is conclusive, the difference is only whether the comer is really surrendered or false, so it is too heavy to punish him with the law of killing and surrendering. After all, there is a clear text in the Da Ming Law, if there is a person who comes to surrender, he will be sent to the chief military officer immediately and conveyed to the imperial court. He embezzled people and goods, and thus killed and injured people, and forced those who fled in the middle of the way, and beheaded. ”
"But if it is because of the Taining Ministry's quick plan, taking advantage of the topic, and wanting to frame the two general soldiers of Liaodong and Jizhen, so that the Jiliao army will be panicked, so Tao Chengyu will be sent lightly, and he will only be sentenced to three consecutive demotions, then it is too light. As long as the rumors of Hai or others killing him and surrendering are spread quickly, not to mention that no captives on the frontier will dare to surrender, and if there is a war in the future, the captives will fight to the death to the last man, and there will be no surrender! Therefore, Tao Chengyu should be severely punished, and his crime will be discussed after his dismissal, and the minister agrees with Guangdu. ”
After setting a tone for himself, Cheng Naixuan said more and more impassionedly: "And when the main general gave an order, the other officers and soldiers under his command had no room for questioning, so because of Tao Chengyu's mistakes, he harshly criticized the other generals in his army, and it was too much." And the deputy commander-in-chief, the chief soldier Li Chengliang and others, saw the document of the victory, saw the head of the beheading, and chose to play the first time, which is understandable, but after all, the crime of negligence, the court allowed them to resign from the original reward, and the reward given to other soldiers in the army was exempt from pursuit. ”
Although this seems to be a source of left and right, but no one who reads the process of Naixuan's playbook thinks that this guy's speech at this time will be left and right. Sure enough, the next moment, Cheng Naixuan raised his voice and said: "When Danchen and Guangdu went to Liaodong to investigate this matter, Li Chengliang, the chief soldier of Liaodong, and others also facilitated the inquest, and even sent people to escort the Suning found by Guangdu to Shanhaiguan, but some people in Liaodong secretly misled the visit because they accepted bribes from Tao Chengyu, mobilized the forces in the army to defend Tao Chengyu and even apologized for him, and disrupted the rhythm of the minister's visit several times. And this person is what the minister said in the book, Liaodong Xingtaifu Siqing, Yuan Bi! ”
Guangmao saw that Cheng Naixuan became more and more excited, and even clenched his fists, as if he was a young Zhuang faction who was even more radical than him Guangmao - completely ignoring that he Guangmao was planning to take out Tao Chengyu, and by the way, he would make a big move in the Liaodong Army, at least the one who would get rid of or punish ten or eight middle and high-level officers, and Cheng Naixuan just asked to get rid of one article and one martial artist.
However, when Cheng Naixuan continued to reason with the facts, concealed Tao Chengyu's deception, Yuan Bi's self-enrichment, and the despicable and shameless obstruction of people were all exposed, he found that when he was in Liaodong before, Cheng Naixuan had always been quite low-key, and even made him feel afraid of being honest, these were actually all illusions. When he didn't even notice, this fledgling new department found out something he hadn't noticed at all.
He didn't expect that the person who made the stumbling block for them would be Yuan Bi!
In the end, Cheng Dagongzi, who had been in charge for less than a year, took a deep look at the matter, and said in an extremely calm tone: "After Guangdu admonished Liaodong, he made every effort to investigate the victory of Changdingbao, and the minister, as an assistant, was a little idle most of the time, so he retreated to the second, secretly checked the people who obstructed, and put some effort into the officialdom of Liaodong. Guangdu believes that the treatment of serious diseases requires fierce medicine, but the minister believes that governing a large country is like cooking a small fresh, a rotten fruit, as long as the rotten parts are dug up first, instead of digging out the good parts one by one! But since you dig, you can't favor one over the other! ”
Even if Zhang Juzheng was expressionless at this time and was really not in a good mood, after hearing this, he still couldn't help but secretly sigh.
So familiar with Wang's theory! Sure enough, he wore the same pants as Wang Fulin!
"That's true."
After Cheng Naixuan's statement ended, when this abrupt voice sounded, there was silence in the huge Wenhua Hall. The emperor actually opened his mouth to agree?
Whether it was Guangmao, Chen Wei, or Shangshu Fang of the Ministry of War, who had never spoken, they all looked at Zhu Yijun, the Wanli Emperor on the throne, in amazement, and even felt that they had some auditory hallucinations just now. Although the little emperor has also participated in similar important court meetings several times since he was in power, he has always rarely expressed his opinions, and today he would react like this to a small statement in a matter?
Even Zhang Juzheng, who had expected it a long time ago, still sighed deeply in his heart when he saw Wang Fulin's words come true. In a quiet and somewhat stiff atmosphere, he spoke: "Tao Chengyu's dismissal is investigated, this is the proper meaning. And even though Yuan Bi had made great achievements before, he was greedy and lustful, despicable and shameless, and he should not be severely punished. ”
Zhang Juzheng would agree to punish Liaodong's one article and one martial arts? Chen Wei was taken aback suddenly, and when he saw Fang Fengshi, his face was also full of surprise, and he suddenly realized that something seemed to be wrong today, but at this time, the emperor and Shoufu actually reached an agreement, and he, the imperial history of the left capital, did not dare to continue to fight no matter what.
Fang Fengshi knew that Chen Juzheng had always been Zhang Juzheng's lackey, but he was unwilling to be a scholar but a vassal of him, at this time he couldn't figure out whether Zhang Juzheng influenced the emperor, or the emperor persuaded Zhang Juzheng, he only felt that if he didn't say a word today, then this court discussion would be in vain, and immediately said tactfully: "The emperor, Yuan Fu, it is okay to punish Liaodong Tao Chengyu and Yuan Bi, but it should not be now." What's more, whether it was the advice of Guangdu and Cheng before, or the statement of An Xun forwarded by Chen Zongxian, all of them showed that there was no evidence to prove whether the so-called herdsmen of the Chahaner Department had really surrendered or faked. ”
Cheng Naixuan glanced at Fang Fengshi, and after a pause, he said slowly: "Fang Butang, just now the official said very clearly, the Da Ming Law declares military affairs with a clear text, whether it is a true surrender or a false surrender, Tao Chengyu's disposition is wrong, if there are many people who come to surrender, then he should send someone to escort the leader to see the chief military officer and transfer it to the imperial court, if there are few people who come to surrender, they should all be properly transferred immediately, there is no reason for him to be a guerrilla general to dispose of it without authorization." In the past, Altan grandson came to surrender Hannaji, and if Fang Butang killed him all, how could there be a feat of relying on Hannaji to play with Altan Khan's tens of thousands of troops in the palm of his hand? ”
Fang Fengshi didn't expect Cheng Naixuan to use his most proud feat to gag his mouth, and his chest choked in panic, angry and annoyed. But at this time, he only heard Zhu Yijun say seriously: "Yes, if Fang Qing in the past was like Tao Chengyu, who only knew how to kill and surrender small profits in front of him, how could he pay tribute to me, and how could he come to the Northwest Taiping?" Since Mr. Yuanfu Zhang also agreed to punish Tao Chengyu and Yuan Bi, he dismissed the two of them first and brought them to Beijing for further inquiry. ”
Since Zhang Juzheng is willing to agree with him, then he will give Zhang Juzheng more face.
Although there were only a few people who participated in the court meeting in the Wenhua Palace, and no one was too talkative, but there were still a lot of low-level eunuchs in the Wenhua Hall at that time, and with the connivance of the heart, even if Guangmao and Cheng Naixuan, the second of the parties, had not even come out of the Six Science Corridors, the experience was still spread in the first time. Even Zhang Siwei, who has been swallowing his anger like a turtle for the past two or three months, is faintly aware of the undercurrent behind him. As for Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant, he left the cabinet early and went home early on this day. But before he sat in the study for two minutes, his eldest son Zhang Jingxiu knocked on the door and came in.
Zhang Jingxiu didn't know about the incident in Wenhua Hall today, and after entering, seeing Zhang Juzheng's tired face, he hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward and presented something with both hands: "Father, this is sent by Wang Shiqing at noon today." ”
Zhang Juzheng only felt a sigh in his heart, and when he took it and took a look, he suddenly frowned, and suddenly threw something on the desk in anger. After a long time, he found Zhang Jingxiu standing there dumbfounded, and couldn't help but be a little upset: "You go out, let me be quiet first." ”
Wang Fulin, a bold boy, is he afraid that the world will not be chaotic? However, if he didn't strike while the iron was hot like this, how could he test the emperor's deeper thoughts and fish out all the people with bad intentions? (To be continued.) )
