Chapter 977: Xu Jie's Fate
Unlike those powerful ministers who offended a large circle of people before they stepped down, Xu Jie's simplicity when he gave up the power of the first assistant, or obedience, made everyone, including Long Qing, full of respect for this old man. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Things have come to this day, and we can't continue to humiliate Xu Jie, this is the consensus of everyone, but on the other hand, the national law cannot be abolished, right and wrong cannot be reversed, and black and white cannot be confused.
A special pardon is almost the only option.
After Tang Yi proposed it, it was immediately approved by all parties.
By the way, he wanted to send important ministers to visit Xu Jie, and to visit the old Shoufu, which was also unanimously approved by the big guys. But who are you going to send?
Originally, Zhao Zhenji was the most suitable, but the old man shook his head resolutely, he already hated himself to death, why didn't he see Hai Rui's madness, as a disciple, the rescue was not good, and he had no face to see Xu Jie.
Tang Yi's gaze swept over everyone, and finally landed on Zhang Juzheng.
"Taiyue, why don't you go for a trip."
Zhang Juzheng shuddered, and strongly advocated the use of Hai Rui, Qingzhang Tianmu, and the person who caused so many things was himself. Although he noticed that Tang Yi was definitely fueling the flames inside, but the people's methods were clever and there was no trace, in the eyes of outsiders, the crime of persecuting Xu Jie had to be borne by himself.
At this time, let yourself go to the southeast and visit Xu Jie, this ......
"Brother Taiyue, this time it is the imperial court who has a negative Xu Ge Lao, if you don't want to, only I will go in person."
Tang Yi was about to go south, Zhang Juzheng hurriedly waved his hand, "Lord Yuanfu, you just came back from the grassland, you have worked hard, and the cabinet is full of events at the moment, and I still want you to sit in command, so let's go down." If the teacher is angry, he will come to me alone. ”
After the discussion was completed, Tang Yi immediately asked Gao Gong to ask for a decree, and he invited Zhang Juzheng to his duty room. The two of them sat opposite each other again, not long ago, the two of them were drinking and talking, and met with Zhongxing Daming, but now there is a trouble.
"Brother Taiyue, Hai Rui decided on Xu Gelao's case, and I instructed it."
Tang Yi's first sentence was straight to the point, Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but tremble, a cup of tea was spilled half a cup, and his clothes were wet, Zhang Juzheng was the most particular person, but he couldn't care about wiping it, and asked in surprise: "Yuanfu, why do you have to do this?" "Actually, he wanted to ask you why you told me.
Tang Yi smiled calmly, "Brother Taiyue, right is right, wrong is wrong, merit is merit, and passing is passing." You can't get things done by mixing everything up. Xu Ge Lao has merit, but he connived at his family, what he did, the heavens were angry and resentful, he didn't let him taste the bitterness, and he didn't teach him a lesson, how could he correct the hearts of the people and cheer up the world? ”
understood, Zhang Juzheng suddenly realized.
Pardon, after being guilty, the court is particularly lenient, but it does not mean that he is not guilty, nor does it mean that he did the right thing.
This is the result of Tang Yiyao.
Moreover, only one person Xu Jie was pardoned, and those descendants of the Xu family were still guilty and still had to be punished.
"Brother Taiyue, Qingzhang Tianmu, how important, the Xu family in Huating is the head of the gentry in the world, everyone looks up to it, the big guy will regard the Xu family as a benchmark, only by completely disposing of the Xu family, others can have nothing to say. I sent you to Yingtian to ask you to leave Xu Jie's stay in Yingtian, and then quickly cut through the mess, deal with all the Xu family, clean up the Xu family's property, and return what should be returned to the people to the people. The Xu family is like this, my Tang family is the same, and the Taicang Wang family can't run away. I will ask for an order, asking Your Majesty to give you the right to arbitrarily make decisions on the spot, the major affairs in the southeast, Hai Rui has already made a start, and I hope that Brother Taiyue can shoulder the next task. ”
Tang Yi said a lot in one breath, Zhang Juzheng was really surprised, he was not surprised by Tang Yi's deep calculation, but surprised by this one's honesty.
He guessed what Tang Yi was doing inside, and thought that Tang Yi would take the opportunity to buckle the basin on his head, so that he could bear the charge of framing his teacher and watch his own excitement.
It's just that I didn't expect that Tang Yi would put everything on the table.
If you want to say whether there is a secret plan, it is still calculated, but Zhang Juzheng can't hate Tang Yi, that's right, if you want to implement Qingzhang Tianmu, there is really no better idea except this method.
It can be said that Tang Yi has laid out the overall situation, and he only needs to continue to rush.
Knowing that he was calculated, he still gladly accepted his life and worked for him, this is the so-called yang conspiracy!
Zhang Juzheng hated the root of his teeth, he crossed Erlang's legs, put on a posture of being paralyzed in the capital, and said ruffianly: "Yuanfu, let me go to the southeast, but I have to promise two, uh no, three conditions." ”
"Speak!"
"First, the Xu family can't die, otherwise I won't be able to explain to the teacher."
"Good!"
"Second, give me the power to appoint and dismiss officials."
"Cheng, below the fifth grade, Brother Taiyue decides for himself, and only needs to report to the ministry."
"Third, I want a team!"
Zhang Juzheng sat up straight, approached Tang Yi, and said fiercely: "I went to the southeast this time, I want to kill people, if I don't give me soldiers, I might as well not go!" ”
"How much?"
"Eight thousand, at least eight thousand!"
Tang Yi thought about it for a moment and said with a smile: "Okay, I will let Ma Dong lead 3,000 cavalry, and then transfer 5,000 infantry from Liaodong, and immediately take a boat south." ”
Zhang Juzheng was silent for a while, then suddenly jumped up and smiled happily, "Yuanfu, the lower official will leave here, and I will leave for the south tomorrow!" ”
Coming out of the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng was almost humming a little song, and he couldn't stop laughing on his face. When he returned home, when he checked his son's homework for the first time, he was not angry, and he also encouraged him twice, which made Zhang Jingxiu think that the sun was coming out of the west.
After dinner, Zhang Juzheng calmed down again, and he found that he had received a hot potato, and the family of Shi Eun in the southeast was not the only one in the Xu family.
Relatively speaking, the Xu family is the shallowest in foundation, and there are some old monsters that are hundreds of years old, or even thousands of years, they have deeper roots, and the local officials are almost all their minions, and if they dare to move them, they will definitely be retaliated against, just having soldiers is not enough.
What if there is a civil uprising?
He wanted to go to Tang Yi, but he felt that he was looking for someone for everything, didn't he seem to be too incompetent? Just then, the family ran in.
"Xiangye, there is a letter from the Tang Prime Minister's Mansion, please take a look."
Zhang Juzheng took it, and at first glance, he was almost angry, daring Tang Yi to think more fully than him.
Tang Yi asked for an order to send Li Fang, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, to the south to take charge of the weaving bureau, and at the same time monitor all movements in the southeast, and he recommended two people to Zhang Juzheng, one is Lei Qi, the inspector of Yantietang, and the other is Tian San, the general of Taizhou.
Lei Qi has been squatting in Yantietang for so many years, and he is reluctant to move his nest, don't look at it as just a small inspection on the surface, but as Tang Yi's spokesperson in the southeast, his strength is absolutely amazing.
As for Tian San, he was born as a soldier in the southeast, and was later called into the township, and now as a general, he has a clear understanding of the power of each family.
With their help, it can be described as a tiger with wings.
"Alas, Tang Yi, you are really exhausted, and you can't act according to your script."
Zhang Juzheng sighed for a long time, turned the sky, and immediately set off south.
Hai Rui is like a sword, cutting through the net, and Zhang Juzheng is like a giant axe, opening mountains and rivers, and his momentum is like a rainbow.
After he arrived in Yingtian, he immediately announced the holy decree of pardoning Xu Jie, and at the same time, in the name of sloppy and reckless behavior, Hai Rui was relieved of the post of governor of Yingtian and transferred to the right attendant of the Nanjing Military Department.
Hai Rui didn't bring any soldiers, so he was obviously idle.
Just when many people celebrated with the crown, thinking that they had won a big victory, Zhang Juzheng made three moves in a row, making everyone stupid, he appointed the former Songjiang prefect Gui Youguang to take over as the governor of Yingtian, and at the same time appointed Wang Yongji to take over as the prefect of Songjiang.
After Wang Yongji took over as the prefect of Songjiang, he immediately cleaned up the old cases of the Xu family, and made a lot of cases, and no one can suppress it now.
No one dared to move Xu Jie, and his children and grandchildren didn't care.
Xu Kunfa is assigned to Danzhou, which is Hai Rui's hometown, the ends of the world. Xu Ying sent Liaodong to fill the army. Xu Fan was recovered from all his fame and assigned to Datong.
The three sons were driven away, the grandsons, six of them were distributed, and five were beaten, and they were not all dealt with for the sake of Xu Jie's advanced age, and arranged for the two grandsons to serve the old man in Yingtian, and the rest of the people all moved to Jiujiang.
It is said that on the day of moving, hundreds of people cried and mourned, and the desolation and desolation made people feel sad. Countless insults in private were all directed at Zhang Juzheng.
What kind of student are you, is there such a ruthless brute as you? Even the master who recreated Entong didn't let go, it was really ruthless and unrighteous! Shameless!
"Teacher, the Xu family has been in Huating for decades, with deep roots and lush leaves, and many big roots, if the disciples don't move them away, they won't be able to implement the Qingzhang fields, no matter whether the master forgives or not, the disciples are the only ones."
Zhang Juzheng bowed down and stood beside Xu Jie, and said in a low voice.
Lao Xu was lying on top of a bamboo chair, and in less than two months, he seemed to be twenty years old, his face was crawling with age spots, and his hair had almost fallen out, so he could only be pulled into a pitiful jujube pit and hung on the back of his head.
"Are you still happy and proud to be taken advantage of?" Xu Jie said quietly: "Since ancient times, kings and scholars have ruled the world together, not with those mud legs!" ”
Xu Jie's eyes suddenly widened, and he scolded angrily: "Idiot, sooner or later, one day, you will have no bones left, and you will be crushed." Not only you, but also Tang Yi, who is hiding behind you, that brute is scheming, first sending out the sea pen stand, and then sending you, just to embarrass the old man. Xu Jie laughed angrily, and cursed viciously: "Don't worry, the old man will not be willing to die, I want to live well, live until he is dismantled, ten thousand Lingchi, and live until their Tang family destroys the nine clans!" ”
What hatred!
Xu Jie screamed frantically, Zhang Juzheng took a deep breath and silently retreated from the room.
He really couldn't imagine that the pattern of the master was so low, there were only personal grievances in his eyes, and only power and calculation. He suddenly felt that Xu Jie's defeat to Tang Yi was not wronged at all.
Master, don't worry, we won't fail, if we fail, Daming will also lose!
Zhang Juzheng clenched his fists hard. (To be continued.) )
