Chapter 426: Lord Li in the courtier's heart
In late March, the good news of the wedding of the Son of Heaven came, and the edict to canonize the empress was officially promulgated to the world. Lord Li flipped through the edict, and it was really the nv of Xiao Xuedao, the scholar who was selected, and he would be Queen Xiao in the future, it seems that the father-in-law of Mai Chengen, who was next to the Queen Mother, worked hard.
Compared with the golden million who is honored as the national zhang by others, Xiao Xuedao is the real national zhang. But Li You can conclude that Xiao Xuedao is only afraid that it is not as lively as the guests in Jin Million's house. The reason is very simple, most of the people in the interpersonal circle around Jin Million are wealthy businessmen, and they definitely want to envy the Jin family to produce an imperial concubine; And Xiao Xuedao's interpersonal circle is full of officials, but he may not envy the Xiao family for having a queen.
There is a queen in the family, and Xiao Xuedao's road to officialdom in this life is over. Although the harm of the queen's weakness was loosened after Lord Li soothed the queen's weakness, with the strong national policy of suppressing relatives in the Ming Dynasty, Lord Xiao either continued to move to the fourth grade of idle work until death after finishing this session; Either resign from the throne and accept another reward, presumably an earldom, and leave the power field.
In this big wedding, the Son of Heaven accepted a queen and two virtuous concubines, both of whom were selected in the draft. As a magistrate thousands of miles away, Li You was pleased with the happy events of the country and wished the Son of Heaven an early birth of a noble son, but also had to do three things, offering auspicious gifts, congratulatory watches, and pardoning prisoners.
It's just a false story, and Li You's mind is not on this, what he is concerned about is when the imperial court will send the governor to take down the governor, the salt transport envoy, and the prefect.
In the forbidden palace of the capital division, the hustle and bustle of the wedding of the Son of Heaven had just dissipated, and the imperial court began to prepare for the southern tour.
This southern tour plan originated from the danger of the ancestral tomb last year, when a minister invited the Son of Heaven to visit the tomb south to stabilize the dragon vein. However, the Great Tomorrow did not have the practice of the southern tour, and the expenses were huge, so there was no debate in the court.
However, when the news came that Yangzhou Gangshang was willing to donate more than one million taels for the Shengshang's southern tour, coupled with the Holy Dowager's holy edict, everything in the southern tour was simple, and the number of attachés was limited to 1,000, and this controversy gradually subsided.
In the early morning of 20 March, six scholars gathered in the middle hall of Wenyuan Pavilion and began today's work as a matter of routine. A piece of music sent from Yangzhou was passed through everyone's hands, causing a small alarm.
Since the three families of Yan, Cao, and Fu joined forces to impeach Li You, most of the transcripts sent from Yangzhou in recent months have been good news, especially about silver. Even for the relocation of the governor of Fengyang, Yangzhou did not have the slightest objection, so as not to embarrass the imperial court.
However, the sparseness of this salt transport envoy broke the peace. The story described by Soshu is very simple:
The Nanjing garrison and the lieutenant officials of the town guard colluded with Yang Cheng, the governor of Fengyang, and sent the guards to command the servants, the internal officials and eunuchs to Yangzhou Mansion to kidnap the father of the virtuous concubine, Gangshang Jin, which was stopped by the Salt Transportation Department and the local official Li You.
The governor of Fengyang openly protected the people from Nanjing, and used the standard battalion to assist the Nanjing officials and troops to forcibly take Jin away. In the end, they clashed with the government soldiers, and the government soldiers were forced to open fire and kill Zhang Yan, Zhou Huai and the nine remaining guard sergeants.
After watching the recital, the scholars all felt suspicious, and the first feeling was that the Nanjing garrison and the Fengyang governor had eaten the wrong yào.
Because it involved the Duke of Wei, the lieutenant of Nanjing Town, and a governor, the first assistant Xu Yue said after deliberation: "When I see the Holy Mother in three days, I will discuss this matter again." ”
Everyone else agreed, this matter is really weird, and it is not good to take the liberty of expressing one's position until we find the reason why the giants in Nanjing and Jiangbei ate the wrong yào.
There is no marriage leave for the wedding of the Son of Heaven, and there is a sutra feast as usual on the 22nd, and the newlywed young man has to gather with a cadre of the elders, Shangshu, Gongqing, Cilin, and Kedao to discuss the scriptures in the Wenhua Palace.
The theme of today's feast is governing the localities, and the lecturer concluded: "Governing the country is not about sitting and talking, and the local suffering depends on the officials who are close to the people. ”…,
There is a royal history needle when the disadvantage said: "Li Shu looks forward to the virtuous ministers like a long drought and looks forward to the rain, for many years, he has given birth to all kinds of praise such as taking off his boots and leaving love, making meritorious monuments, sending Qingtian plaques, and giving Wanmin umbrellas, etc., which are considered beautiful." However, today is just a formality, and every time you leave office, whether you are virtuous or not, everyone has a share, and it has become a bad rule, which is really ridiculous. ”
Zhu Fanghe stood aside, remembered something, and couldn't help but speak: "In November of last year, Yangzhou announced the decree, and the people of the city misreported that Li You was going to strike Jiangdu County, at least tens of thousands of people did not come together, and the crowds of people surrounded them, and they asked Li You to stay in office in unison. This situation and this scene are by no means apocryphal, I have only seen this one case in my life, and I have seen with my own eyes that Li You has been in office for less than a year, and he has obtained a plaque, six or seven umbrellas for the people, and there is an inscription in the county school. If all the pro-people officials in the world are like this, it is enough to protect me for thousands of years. ”
Man Dian was either dumbfounded or dumbfounded, if he wasn't familiar with Mr. Fanghe's behavior, he would have thought he was telling a joke. That kid can also govern a good place?
From the seventh year of Jinghe to the beginning of the eighth year of Jinghe, Lord Li brought too much impact and impression to the princes of the imperial court. Recalling his youthful and vigorous, clever and cunning appearance, and a bit of celebrity and arrogance, and then thinking of the image of Qingtian's parents and officials who are supported by all the people, it is difficult for anyone to connect the two.
That Li You was angry that the Queen Mother was sent to a place, and casually let him choose a place to squat, it was really lucky to save the ancestral tomb, and he appeared at a key place at a critical moment, and his luck had already made everyone accustomed to it.
But a young man with sharp teeth and a little talent at the same time has changed and suddenly become the Qingtian parents who are supported by the city, this turn is a bit difficult to understand, and it is definitely not explained by luck.
It must be that the posture of listening to the joke is incorrect...
After the feast was dispersed, the princes of Gon Gong walked out of the Wenhua Hall in twos and threes. In the cabinet, there is another book sent from Yangzhou waiting for the scholars.
The content of this book is quite shocking, and Yang Cheng, the governor of Fengyang, said that the Gang Shang Jin sued the Salt Transportation Division and the government government in recent years to coerce the Gang Shang to traffic huge amounts of sī salt, and made millions of profits...
Several cabinet elders can guess by virtue of their instincts in politics for decades that this piece must be intrinsically related to the previous book of the impeachment of the governor of Fengyang.
They do not question the authenticity of the contents of the two cantatas, both of them are members of the same party, and they will not fabricate and slander in empty words.
But what made the elders think deeply was that one of the two was the governor in charge of civil affairs and military affairs, and the other was the envoy in charge of salt affairs.
Half of the elders remembered a young figure... If it is really as Zhu Fanghe reminded, he should have the ability to disrupt the situation and make a profit, and the gang in Nanjing were all killed by him. The two giants inexplicably played each other's death shots, and he must be indispensable in the middle!
Lord Li is like a firefly in the dark night, and the fisherman's wish for profit may be fulfilled, but if there is a low-key and hidden thought, it is doomed to be in vain.
