Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Court Scuffle

"The Imperial History of the Zuodu of the Chendu Procuratorate impeached the Marquis of Shou Ning and Jianchang for raping the people's daughters, robbing the people's property, embezzling and soliciting bribes, not being strict with the emperor, colluding with profiteers, deceiving the monarch, interfering with the government, and having no law...... A total of thirty-one crimes, please Your Majesty remove the identity of Shouning Marquis Jianchang Boxun, raid the mansion, and exile for 3,000 miles......"

There are more and more people impeached, the crime is getting bigger and bigger, and the status of the courtiers who are out of class is getting higher and higher, seeing the attitude of "the courtiers are all said to be killed", the Hongzhi Emperor is angry enough, one is angry that these two brothers-in-law are too angry, and the entire court hates them both, and it seems that the only advantage of these two people is that they have a mocking face. The second is that the imperial historian impeached the Marquis of Shouning, but even some officials of the six ministries ran out to wave their flags and shout, without taking the identity of the marquis of Shouning's imperial relatives in their eyes, which made Emperor Hongzhi feel very faceless.

"You guys! You guys! You wait! Jian Changbo didn't expect that there would be so many people impeaching the two brothers today, and there were more and more crimes with penguins, and there were even officials who impeached them for staying overnight in the brothel of Qinglou, and the two brothers played 3P together, and they were so angry that tears fell. I didn't know who the hand was pointing at, and the hand I raised trembled vigorously, as if I had had a stroke.

"Ben Jue is fighting with you!" Zhang Yanling didn't care about the crime at the moment, picked up the wat board and smashed it at the head of a powerful imperial history.

"Oh, you still dare to hit someone!" The officials of the Celestial Empire are not afraid of fighting, and the parliamentary battles between Korea and a certain island parliamentarian in later generations cannot be compared with the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty.

So as soon as many people saw Zhang Yanling make a move, "Come on, let's go too." "At the moment, it doesn't matter whether there is a grudge or not, the officials who have made good friends are hugging a group of parties to fight against differences, and the generals and nobles are beating up a royal historian who likes to participate in the book the most, and beating a Fengtian Temple is a chicken flying dog jumping. Let the Han general on duty and the golden gourd Jin Wuwei look dumbfounded, and they don't know who to help or not, so they have to help each other, except for some of the imperial historians who can enter the palace to meet the king, the quality of the officials is slightly lower, and the others are at least middle and high-level officials above the fourth grade, and the gods fight, and no one can get it. So the guards had to stand aside and watch the excitement.

"Your Majesty, Lord Chen, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, was knocked out by Lord Zhao, the general of the auxiliary country."

"Your Majesty, the second-class Marquis Jiang was beaten by the Imperial History of the Right Capital and a group of Imperial Historians."

"Your Majesty, the first-class Zhenguo general was beaten by more than a dozen imperial historians because of his foul language."

"Your Majesty, Liu Daxia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Liu Daxia, was injured in the left leg by some military attachés, and scolded him for ruining the hard work of Gonggong Zheng's life."

"Your Majesty, the old man of the Ministry of Shangshu Wang Shu was injured by an official who used to be the elder team of Liu Ge." From time to time, there were eunuchs who specialized in recognizing people to report the war situation to Emperor Hongzhi.

Seeing that he had successfully shifted the attention of the courtiers from Jinyiwei to Shouninghou alone, Mu Bin was very proud.

Seeing Mu Bin's smug appearance, Wang Yue was angry with itchy teeth, but he didn't expect that Ye Guan's act of venting his anger actually made Mu Bin move back to a city, no, our family has to find a way to pull things back, so that everyone's focus will stop on Jinyiwei.

Emperor Hongzhi was also relieved when he saw the civil and military courtiers of Fengtian Hall standing together again. Since the courtiers are not of the same mind, let's fight, as long as they don't kill people, the emperor can govern the country better.

Just like the legislators of later generations fought together, for what? Decree? Party? For the country and the people? At the end of the day, it's a reputation. As long as you have a good reputation for the country and the people, work tirelessly, and lose your son, no matter whether you are seeking wealth or looking for a job, those voters will inevitably think of him first, of course, it is better if it is "her", everyone fights up, takes their bras out of their clothes and throws them in the face of a certain parliamentarian, which is even more eye-catching, and the implication is: See, grandma, I threw out all the bras I was wearing, and you must not exist in your deep mind like a stripper, You must elect me in the next election, and I must freeze garlic!

The topic is far away, let's get down to business.

Wang Yue saw that Mu Bin had resolved his conspiracy against Jinyiwei, so he whispered to Emperor Hongzhi, who was watching the excitement.

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi nodded slowly, and turned his head to signal the eunuch to let him clean the whip.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Three whips sounded, most of the officials who were still sensible consciously stopped fighting, and some red-eyed officials still refused to stop, and were taken out of Fengtian Temple and thrown into prison by the Han generals who had long understood it on charges of disturbing the court and losing honor in front of the king.

Seeing that the courtiers were angry, the people were tired, and their hearts were refreshed. Only then did Emperor Hongzhi speak: "Okay, okay, how old are you, and what kind of system have you become." If you don't say it, you can't tell it. In this way, the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple will interrogate Ye Guan's beating of Shouning Hou in the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion. Own judgment shall prevail. ”

Emperor Hongzhi also has his own considerations, his son is close to Ye Guan, his wife protects his brother-in-law, both sides are his closest people, and it is not good to do anything by himself, so he simply handed it over to the third division, no matter how it is judged, the judgment is heavy, and he will come forward to solve it, so that both sides will not complain about him, and will remember his good, think about it, Hongzhi sighed: It is really a selfless matter of the heavenly family!

When Mu Bin heard the emperor speak like this, his eyes glanced towards Wang Yue again: "This dead eunuch's mouth is dexterous enough, Ben Shuai obviously said that Shou Ning Hou defiled the holy relics, but he didn't expect that after Wang Yue's whispering, it actually turned into Ye Guan beating Shou Ning Hou." Looks like we're going to have to work harder! ”

………………

After the melee in the court that day, Zhang Zhen, the prefect of Shuntian, pulled his face like a nest melon, bitter like a bitter melon. The official of Zhengsanpin is a first-class feudal official in the place, but in this Forbidden City, a brick can be smashed into a lord's Beijing city, and he is really not a big official.

Shuntian Mansion Yin, in the hands of corrupt officials is like chicken ribs, no benefits can be received, it is a nightmare in the hands of Qing officials, there is no three-mouth guillotine knife of Bao Longtu, who puts Shuntian Mansion Yin squatting in Wanping County in his eyes. First, Shuntian Mansion Yin is in charge of the affairs of the outer city, including the surrounding counties, and does not have any real power. Second, even if it is a civil dispute or a seemingly ordinary case in the outer city, there is always the identity of the lords of each family, the face of the generals, the relationship between the civil officials and the jealousy of the sons of each family. So how can a small third-grade official take care of it? Therefore, most of the Shuntianfu Yin dreams at night that what they hope most is to be transferred out of Beijing, even if it is better to be the prefect of the fourth rank than to stay in the capital.

Since the next court, Zhang Zhen's yamen has been full of people, and just sent away Shou Ninghou's housekeeper, he came to Jian Changbo's threat, Zhang Zhen sent Jian Changbo away with a shy face, and Jinyiwei sent someone again. As soon as Jin Yiwei persuaded his kind words away, the fathers-in-law of Dongchang came to say that they were not yin or yang with the same gender characteristics. As soon as the father-in-law was sent away, the officials sent someone from the Shangshu Mansion to mention Zhang Zhen, and just sent the housekeeper in the Shangshu Mansion away, and the people from the East Palace Prince's Mansion came to convey His Royal Highness the Prince's decree.

It is normal to make Shou Ninghou and Jian Changbo's families resentful, who let Ye Guan beat Shou Ninghou so much without giving face. But it is very strange that it can also attract the attention of the civil official group and the Dongchang and the Prince's Mansion.

Shou Ninghou wants Ye Guan to die, and he wants to die with broken bones, and it is best to cut it with a thousand knives. The civil official group wants to beat 100 or even 10,000 boards on both sides, and it is best to kill them all, anyway, it is the people of Jinyiwei, and they don't feel distressed if they die, so they will see them off as the house that was burned last night. The people in the east factory want to open three sevens, Shou Ninghou three points, and Ye Guan seven points. The prince's mansion wants Ye Guan to live, and he wants to live well. Is this something that a mere Shuncheon Mansion Yin can do?

Zhang Zhen made up his mind, if this case was difficult to handle, he would immediately return to his hometown, so as not to be retaliated against by disgruntled people in the end. What's in his hands, when the three divisions are tried, he will sit at the bottom of the hand, and strive to be the best audience with a seat, so that maybe he can return to his hometown in style.

The date of the triage was set for the seventh day of December. Taking advantage of the efforts of the past few days, the forces of several parties are constantly making temptations and transactions, although no agreement has been reached, but the chiefs of the three divisions have secretly reached an agreement, slow it off, and when the matter drags on, everyone's anger will be much easier.

The day of the triage of the three divisions has arrived, Ye Guan and Shou Ninghou have been brought to the court, both of them have official bodies, so there is no need to kneel, Shou Ninghou really has a chair, but Ye Guan has to stand. In the yamen of Shuntian Mansion sat He Jian, the servant of the Criminal Department who was in charge of the trial, as well as Shi Daishan, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, He Jun, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and Yin Zhangzhen, the lowest of the Shuntian Mansion. Ye Guan didn't recognize these people, but Ye Guan, a few villagers who watched the excitement, did.

One is Gu Dayong, the eunuch who accompanied Zhu Houzhao, the other is his boss, Lin Yao, the envoy of Jinyi Weizhen, and several bitter and hateful people knew at a glance that it was related to the Shouning Hou family, and there was a father-in-law who was dressed as a eunuch, I don't know if it was someone sent by Emperor Hongzhi or someone sent by Dongchang. Some of the rest were expressionless spectators.

The process of the trial was boring, with all parties discussing what had happened and some witnesses testifying. Ye Guan and Zhang Heling didn't say a word, and the testimony of the witnesses they brought alone lasted for a few hours.

First of all, the people of Shouninghou's Mansion insisted that Ye Guan was disrespectful to Shouninghou, which caused Shouninghou to be furious, and then he beat Ye Guan. Then it was the Jinyi Guard who was with Ye Guan that day that he said that Shou Ninghou was too domineering and broke Ye Guan's clothes, so Ye Guan made a move, and then there was the testimony of the soldiers of the Jing Wei Division.

Several parties did not have a unified testimony for a long time, which made the chiefs of the three divisions also very helpless, and He Jian, the waiter of the Criminal Department, was shocked: "Prisoner Ye Guan, you still don't admit your guilt!" What happened to you from the truth! ”

In fact, He Jian also had no choice but to ask Ye Guan to speak, it turned out that Shou Ninghou must be bigger than Ye Guan's official, and it was not good for Shou Ninghou to speak first, so he could only find Ye Guan first.
