Chapter 836: The Last Luàn Fight (I)

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Gao Gong in "Zhenggang Changding the Country is to Yang Pei Shengzheng Shu", for the first emperor's various beautiful words, ròu hemp extreme, may not come from his rough heart. However, this omission has a miraculous effect on curbing the indiscriminate grace and restoring the dignity of the emperor. However, who can he hide from Xiang Zhuang's sword dancing and intention to Pei Gong's move?

When this note was sent to the cabinet, all the ministers who learned its contents were a little strange...... Among the cabinet members, Li Chūnfang, Shen Mo, Zhang Juzheng, and Zhao Zhenji, more than half of them, are all students of Xu Jie. Now Gao Gong openly denies Xu Gelao's most proud "Jiajing Edict", what is the difference between this and completely denying Xu Jie?

Regardless of whether Sī Xiali and Xu Jie's situation is still life and death, but no matter what, in this public occasion, they will never stand with Gao Gong, and even have to say a few words to defend Xu Jie, so as not to be ridiculed...... But who would dare to go against the tall beard? Don't want to eat anymore?

Li Chūnfang's gaze moved away from the song, looked at the empty seat under him, and couldn't help but curse secretly: "Shen Shuyan, this slippery head, obviously knew the rumor for a long time, and even used the name of going out of the city to inspect the Beijing camp, and missed today's morning meeting, but asked me to avoid it...... Facing the thorny problem, as the first assistant, he actually envied the second assistant who slipped the number, and it really made people laugh when it was passed out.

Zhang Juzheng also secretly complained, even if you want to be prestigious, you have to talk to me first, right? I was caught off guard by this, but how can I do it?

As for Chen Yiqin and Gao Yi, seeing that the students don't speak for the teacher, of course, they will pretend to be dumb with peace of mind, just see how this play is performed.

Everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to the only one who could compete with the tall beard......

I saw Zhao Zhenji with a dark face and squinted eyes, obviously suppressing his anger, and sure enough, he was on the verge of exploding.

"Then if you have no opinion," Gao Gong turned a blind eye to the bull-shaped Zhao Zhenji, and said to Chen Yiqin, who was writing today: "Old Chen, you can vote, I said you write ......."

"Fake a fart!" Before Gao Gong finished speaking, Zhao Zhenji, who felt ignored, finally stood up angrily and scolded loudly: "What is the difference between doing this and the Jiān Party Monument in the Song Dynasty?!" "The so-called 'Jiān Party Monument', also known as the 'Yuan Yu Jiān Party Monument', is the Northern Song Dynasty Huizong ordered Jiān Prime Minister Cai Jing to engrave three hundred and nine people who opposed Wang Anshi's change of law such as Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo, Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, etc., on the tablet, promulgated in the world, and no one dared to come out to criticize the government again. Zhao Zhenji used the Jiān Party monument as an analogy, and naturally compared the high arch to Cai Jing.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Zhenji brushed his sleeves and left.

Seeing that Zhao Zhenji was so strong, he didn't agree with a word, and he wanted to go away, Gao Gong had no choice but to walk out of his seat, stepped forward and stretched out his hand to keep Zhao Zhenji and said: "Why bother, everything is easy to discuss......" It seems that he is afraid of being stunned, and this sentence is not wrong at all.

Zhao Zhenji also felt that if he brushed his sleeves and left, wouldn't he be in the middle of the high-arched jiān scheme, so he snorted, turned back to his seat, and sat there without looking at him.

Gao Gong also returned to his seat and sat down, and said with a dry smile: "This performance has been approved by the emperor, if the cabinet does not vote, wouldn't it be bī to make a decree with the emperor?" As he spoke, he looked at the crowd: "If it makes a big fuss, it will be detrimental to the prestige of our cabinet." ”

His words hit the nail on the head of everyone, if the emperor is allowed to issue a decree, it can be returned according to reason, but as a last resort, the courtiers will not challenge the authority of the monarch, especially this kind of matter where the emperor still takes advantage of it...... Can you let the son keep stabbing his dead father? So once Longqing figured out this matter, the "Jiajing Testament" would not be far from annihilation.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You are despicable...... Zhao Zhenji jumped up like a cat with his tail stepped on: "I am deliberately taking revenge on Xu Ge Lao!" ”

"If this one doesn't work, I'll do it again." Gao Gong said coldly: "At that time, some words will not be as subtle as this one." Saying that, he glared at Zhang Juzheng and said: "At the Great Rites Discussion back then, you were the minister present, and it should be very clear that this case was just a case of the Yang family and their representative civil official group, using Emperor Xiaozong as a cover to suppress the first emperor who succeeded to the unification and had an unstable foothold, and wanted to control the situation of the court; Not to be outdone, the first emperor gathered his own strength to compete with the Yang father and son! This case is simply a power struggle, where is there any right, wrong, good and evil involved?! After a pause, he said bluntly and ruthlessly: "And the officials involved in this matter are probably just minions and tongues who serve their respective positions, and they can't talk about right and wrong, it's just a boring war of words!" And what is the axiom of it? Saying that, he sneered and said, "I wonder how he will feel after I put these emperors on the throne?" ”

"You want to push the monarch and the minister to the opposite side?!" Zhao Zhenji said angrily.

"I just want to tell the emperor the truth......" Gao Gong said lightly: "Actually, I am not a troubled person, so I will stop the so-called former ministers." Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that the great etiquette is wrong? The long-promulgated "Minglun Grand Canon" should also be abolished, and the emperor's throne should also be moved out of the temple? How can the emperor go to the temple to worship his ancestors? Does this Ming Dynasty emperor still have authority?! ”

A series of indisputable questions completely controlled the situation, and even Zhao Zhenji had to admit that what Xu Ge Lao did at the beginning would indeed leave people with a truth, and he couldn't talk about it if he wanted to help speak. can only retreat and say: "The compassionate record can be stopped, but the "Testament" cannot be denied. After a pause, he glared at Gao Gong and said: "No matter what you say, the name of that thing is "Jiajing's Testament", it was promulgated in the name of the first emperor, and in the eyes of the world, it is the last order of the first emperor. ”

At that moment, Gao Gong had a kind of depression of lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, and he couldn't turn his head to deny his statement, so he had to nod with difficulty: "Okay......"

In the end, after a compromise between the two sides, the order to stop the compassionate record was only in the form of an edict, which was only circulated among the officials of the ministry, and did not become a holy decree and appeared in public opinion.

But the paper can't contain the fire, and the paper doesn't mean to contain the fire. Soon, Gao Gong's move was known to the government and the opposition, and the result was also known...... As long as you know how many hearts Xu Jie has won by practicing the "Edict", and how many officials have been grateful, you will know how big a hornet's nest Gao Gong has stabbed.

Suddenly, there was a voice of condemnation from the government and the opposition, especially those officials who relied on the "Edict" to recover, as well as the 'loyal and good descendants' who received preferential treatment, and even regarded Gao Gong as an out-and-out Jiān evil Xiǎo person. Even Wang Shizhen, the leader of the literary league, criticized fiercely: "Xu Ge always asked the former emperor to give shade to offended ministers in the name of sympathy for loyal ministers, so as to sweep away the filth and make the air in the sea fresh, which is the most scheming. However, Gao Ge Lao wanted to slander Xu Gong with strong words, and also hurt and deprive those loyal ministers and good people of their rights and interests, how vicious his intentions were! Although because his father Wang Chen also relied on the "Edict" to rehabilitate, the position of the lord of the Wang League was clearer. However, as the most influential literati of the time, his words ignited the anger of the masses, and for a time the crowd was raging, and every day a large group of people blocked the road to and from work in the high arch, and greeted him with stinky jī eggs and pig niào bubbles. So much so that for a long time, Jinyiwei had to send more manpower, and whenever Gao Gong traveled, he first cleared the streets and closed the road, so as not to hate anyone very much, and threw over things like palm thunder and oil cans.

Shen Mo was deeply worried about Gao Gong's situation, and once offered to mediate for him to eliminate the opposing emotions...... The reason why the word 'mediation' is used is because most of those people are die-hard loyalists of Xu Jie, and they themselves have prejudices against silence, so it is impossible to buy his account, so they can only take a roundabout way.

However, Gao Gong said to Shen Mo: "No, you can just watch the play." When he said this, he saw a strong war intent in his eyes, and couldn't help but curse secretly: 'Gao madman, I haven't played enough!'

Gao Gong really hasn't played enough, to be precise, he's just getting addicted to it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sure enough, just a few days later, Gao Gong found another opportunity......

Autumn is the season of slaughter when the leaves are falling, and it is also the day of the year when prisoners are executed. As a rule, the Ministry of Punishment would send the list of death row prisoners to be executed this year to the Cabinet, and after the votes were drafted, the emperor would decide on them...... to show that life and death are taken, and they are all on top. However, no one can understand the major state affairs, financial revenues and expenditures that the cabinet bigwigs are concerned about, not the thousands of death row inmates in the two capitals and 13 provinces, and the dense and multi-page list of which ones deserve to die. So it's just a formality.

But this is such a thing, in the eyes of the cabinet bosses, it is definitely a 'xiǎo thing', and it was almost caught by Gao Gong. He read the pending list several times, and finally found a few names and said, "These people can't be killed." ”

Hearing this, the cabinet ministers raised their heads and looked at the elder Gao Ge, who was afraid that the world would not be happy, and listened to him say in a deep voice: "Wang Jin, Tao Shien, Tao Fang, Shen Shiwen...... These few can't be killed! ”

"Wang Jin, Tao Shien......" After all, Zhao Zhenji only returned to Beijing last year, and he didn't know much about the previous things, so he couldn't help but say: "Why does it sound so familiar?" ”

But the others all changed their faces, because they all knew that these people were the last Fang Shi to accompany the emperor. Long before the reform of the Yuan, the law department had followed the order of the "Edict" and had sent Wang Jin and other scholars to prison to death, on the charge of 'entering yào things' and causing the death of the emperor, and was convicted according to the clause of the "Da Ming Law" in which the son killed his father. Probably because of the magnitude of the matter, the execution was delayed, and only the families of these criminals were exiled...... It's just that no one knows that these monks can live until this year thanks to the bachelor in charge of the criminal name, who was entrusted to keep them to this day.

"You can't stop for a while," knowing the ins and outs, Zhao Zhenji glared at Gao Gong angrily and said, "If you don't make trouble, will you die?" After these days, he has already seen that Xiǎozi surnamed Shen will not help him, and the rest of the people will remain neutral at most, it depends on himself and Gao Gong, who can be tougher than whom, and who can kick who out.

Gao Gong didn't pay any attention to the old master Zhao, who was already smoking, but said to Li Chūn Fang with his own thoughts: "Shoufu, it's not a pity that these monks will naturally die, but have you thought about it, if you kill them for this crime, wouldn't it confirm the rumor that the first emperor died by taking Dan yào?" Doesn't that mean that the first emperor must not die well?! ”

How dare Li Chūn Fang take his words, he hurriedly threw the hot potato to Shen Mo and said, "Shen Ge Lao Jue? ”

"Elder Gao Ge has a point," Shen Mo nodded and said, "It is a matter of the name of the first emperor after his death, and I think it should be done carefully." ”

"It was all reviewed by the legal department at the beginning, so why not be careful?" Zhao Zhenji was very unhappy with Shen Mo and Gao arching one nostril.

"I've seen the dossier at that time." At this time, Zhang Juzheng slowly spoke: "It is true that the trial was a little hasty, and I also suggest that the three law divisions retry it, and it must be cleared up, and the first emperor cannot be wronged." He had already seen that Gao Gong and Shen Mo had formed an alliance, and with the emperor behind them, there was no one in this court who could stop them. Last time, I didn't stand on Gao Gong's side, if I didn't say anything this time, I wouldn't be offended at both ends, but I was completely marginalized by the Shen Gao duo...... This is not a difficult choice for Zhang Juzheng, who has been brewing for a long time and wants to push forward financial reform in Daming.

Seeing that so many people have expressed their positions, Gao Yi, who has been very low-key since he entered the cabinet, also said softly: "Check it, this kind of thing, the more transparent and thorough it is, the more no one can blame it." Killing people rashly is irresponsible to the imperial court and history. ”

"Then check ......" Seeing the cabinet's opinion, Zhao Zhenji knew that it was useless for him to object, but he looked at Gao Gong with fire-breathing eyes, as if he was going to burn him out of two holes!

Why is Zhao Zhenji so angry, because the "Jiajing Testament" said a total of three things, one is to offend the ministers, one is to stop building a palace and stop buying from all over the country, and the other is to condemn the priests and punish them properly!

It can be said that these three things are all of Xu Jie's political achievements in the Longqing Dynasty. Now, the ministers of the former dynasty have been stopped, and if the judgment of the other party is overturned, then in addition to the construction and procurement that is obviously a waste of money and money, it is impossible to carry it out, and all the achievements of Xu Ge Lao have been overthrown by Gao Gong!

Is it tolerable, but it is unbearable, Zhao Zhenji found that he couldn't retreat anymore, otherwise he would not only be sorry for Xu Jie's entrustment, but he would also push himself to the edge of the cliff, and he had to fight back! ——

Although Shen Mo is not mixed, he is not a soy sauce player, and it will soon turn into his play.
