April 16. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

This was originally a common day, and the early morning court discussions seemed to be carried out step by step, first Liu Daxia put forward the regulations on the defense of Liaodong, and then there were reports on spring ploughing in various places. An hour passed, Zhu Youzhu looked a little tired, and he never thought that this court discussion was just the beginning.

"The minister has something to do, and the king of Jingjiang is rampant, encroaching on fertile land, and bullying others, which can be described as a mad ......"

The first one to stand up was an editor of the Hanlin Academy, the tone of this compilation was very heavy, and the word madness was actually used for a range, after all, the vassal king was a clan, no matter what, especially on the occasion of the court meeting, it was very inapplicable.

However, this compilation is not only used, but also not afraid at all, the king of Jingjiang is mad, please pinch the prince, and abolish the concubine, this is the meaning of the editor.

After the editing was finished, the people who walked out like a marquee came out, from the Ducha Yuan, to the Sixth Department, to the Honglu Temple, Dali Temple, and Hanlin Academy, and they all stood up solemnly, and suddenly the Manchu Dynasty civil and military actually stood up for more than half.

"Is there still a court law in Zhu Youlin's eyes? The court has repeatedly ordered that the vassal king shall not embezzle the land, Zhu Youlin alone, embezzled more than 100,000 acres of fertile land, what is his intention to do this, the court has always been generous to the vassal king, and he has been rewarded every year, but he is still not strong enough people, so he has to accumulate money and food to try to make a big deal? ”

Someone shouted, this sentence can be said to be extremely damaging, not only bluntly said the name of King Jingjiang, unceremoniously, and even directly pointed out that Zhu Youlin had other plans, and he didn't say anything, but it was almost the same as a trumped-up charge.

"If Your Majesty does not severely punish the King of Jingjiang, I am afraid that the hundred officials will not accept it, and all the people in the world will not accept it, then it will be the vassal king, and it will also be arrogant, and I am afraid of the disaster of Xiao Wall."

The person who said this is also a Hanlin, this person's level is obviously much higher than the previous two, directly represent the hundred officials and the people first, and then by the way, say the consequences of indulgence, and the last sentence of the disaster of Xiao Wall can be described as the finishing touch.

With the beginning, it is difficult to end it, for a while, there was a lot of discussion in this hall, and the situation was almost one-sided to demand that King Jingjiang be severely punished, and the officials gritted their teeth, but it was not unreasonable.

This time the matter is very big, and it also forced the squire to do the sven sweeping thing, now to solve this matter, either to severely punish the squire, or to dispose of the king of Jingjiang, anyway, this board always has to hit a person, but the interests of the squire, and the interests of the civil and military officials are consistent, most of these officials, most of them are squires, and in the future, Zhishi will return to the township, and his own sons and brothers and clansmen are also the squire's class, it can be said that the official is the squire, and the squire is the official, If this time the imperial court dealt with the squires who made trouble, then once this case was opened, what should be done if someone infringed on the interests of the squires in the future, although the landlords and squires and officials in Lianzhou had no friendship with everyone, but the rabbit died and the fox was sad, and the king of Jingjiang was no longer violating the interests of the gentry in one government and one county.

What's more, Qing Yi has firmly stood on the side of the gentry, on the opposite side of King Jingjiang, at this time, whoever dares to stand up and say a word for King Jingjiang will inevitably be criticized by countless words, and if you stand up and reprimand King Jingjiang, the more fierce the scolding, the more famous the Qing will be.

Fame and fortune, fame and fortune, and defending the gentry are for the common benefit, and jumping out to rebuke King Jingjiang is for the sake of taking a name, killing two birds with one stone.

Zhu Youzhu was obviously a little shocked by the reaction of the ministers, the gentry were forced to make trouble, he was also very annoyed, and even prepared to clean up the King of Jingjiang, but he never thought that the courtiers were so excited.

He stroked the imperial case, thought about it for a while, and immediately understood the key, but at this time, he was not in a hurry to express his position, his eyes fell on Liu Jianjian, and said, "What does Liu Aiqing think?" ”

Liu Jian stood up and said: "The old minister thinks that he should immediately order Chen Yao, the governor of Guangxi, to investigate this matter thoroughly, and then make a decision after the matter is revealed." ”

This sentence seems to be impartial, but people who know a little bit about the inside story have already thought that the article with serious prejudice was handed over by Chen Yao, and Song Shuli tried his best to protect the squire, and lashed out at King Jingjiang, and now let Chen Yao investigate thoroughly, basically, it is a formality.

Zhu Youzhu squinted, nodded his head, and said: "I have repeatedly issued decrees, ordering the vassal kings of all places to abide by the law, especially not to embezzle the fields......" Zhu Youzhu knocked on the imperial case with his knuckles, with an angry look, and said: "But there are always people who say that my words are the wind in their ears, so that such a big thing happened in Lianzhou, this matter, not only must be thoroughly investigated, but also to get to the bottom of it, no matter who is involved, it must be severely punished!" ”

His voice fell, expressing his attitude, and then said, "Retreat." ”

After saying that, he got up and walked away with an angry look.

Zhu Youzhu wasn't really angry, in fact, what were the vassal kings doing, Jinyiwei had already had a secret report, how could he not know, but this state must be expressed, and Lianzhou had already given him a step, so he had to borrow the slope to get off the donkey.

Immediately afterwards, the unexpected side of the matter turned upside down, first the gentry of Lianzhou handed over a joint blood letter, bitterly expressing their grievances, this blood letter, there are Lianzhou officials, squires and some other squires from Guangxi Prefecture and County, there are more than 700 people co-signed, it can be described as a huge momentum.

In this way, the matter was pushed to the **, Qing Yi was supposed to protect the squire, but it was even more obvious, so that even the storytellers under the overpass also compiled all kinds of jokes about the King of Jingjiang, and there were countless people who slandered the King of Jingjiang, anyway, Dongchang and Jinyiwei didn't care, you said that King Jingjiang didn't have an asshole today, and tomorrow said that the princess of his family stole people, and no one paid attention.

And the voice of sympathy for the squire of Lianzhou has also intensified, so that many officials have written books, and they have also learned from the squire, and used blood books to bitterly state, in the final analysis, it is a sentence, if the king of Jingjiang is not severely punished, everyone will never agree.

Seven or eight days later, another note was delivered, this time it was the governor of Guangxi, Chen Yao, who ordered to find out the cause of the matter, and the weight in this matter can be described as full of words, and the song Shu arrived in the cabinet, and Liu Jian and others immediately asked for an audience.

In the Zhengxin Palace, Zhu Youzhu worked hard to read the song with the surname, and the content in the song was very long, but it was also very simple, and he said three things in total.

The first is that Zhu Shan committed lawlessness and killed the official messenger with conclusive evidence.

The second is that Zhu Youlin, the king of Jingjiang, did instruct people to embezzle the fields and infringe on the interests of the squire, and the responsibility for this matter lies entirely with Zhu Youlin.

The third thing is to expose one thing, Zhu Youlin's eldest son, the son of the king of Jingjiang, Zhu Jingfu cruel thieves, Tibetan thieves lead thieves, gather a group of splashes in Guilin Mansion, rampant lawlessness, once in the seventh year of Hongzhi, killed a person on the street, Zhu Youlin covered up his son's crime, came forward to dredge, the government did not dare to ask.

These three things can be seen Chen Yao's intentions are vicious, Chen Yao's official oil, since he is determined to fall to one side, then he will never be soft on the other side, the first two things are fine, but the words of the last thing hide a great deep meaning, first of all, it is to tell the emperor that Lao Tzu's bastard son is also a bastard, this Zhu Youlin's son is very bad, and the act of killing people on the street can be described as extremely vicious. After a few sentences, it showed Chen Yaolin's literary skills, after Zhu Youlin's eldest son killed someone, Zhu Youlin shielded him, which is equivalent to adding another charge to Zhu Youlin, and the last word is that the government does not dare to ask.

The government didn't dare to ask...... What does this mean, this is to tell Zhu Youzhu that the king of Jingjiang is in Guangxi, he is a full soil emperor, and the government can no longer check and balance. So much so that when his son committed a crime, the government didn't even have the courage to ask.

The time was chosen in the seventh year of Hongzhi, and there is a deep meaning behind it, Chen Yao was appointed as the governor of Guangxi in the ninth year of Hongzhi, which is to say, this is not my dereliction of duty, this is the dereliction of duty of my predecessor.

Seeing Chen Yao's recital, a trace of murderous intent flashed in Zhu Youzhang's eyes.

The system of the Ming Dynasty is based on checks and balances, in the capital, the cabinet and ministers check and balance each other, in the six ministries, there is also a person in the ministry to watch, for the entire civil official group, there are Jinyiwei and Dongchang, in the military, it is to govern the military with civilians, and the civil officials are on the side, and then appoint the eunuchs in the palace to supervise the army in the side.

Such a system, of course, is to maintain the dominance of the family, and since the Battle of Jingnan, the imperial court's restraint on the vassal king has become more and more strict, and the greatest power to restrain the vassal king comes from the magistrates, who are appointed by the imperial court, loyal to the imperial court, and have the right to report and intervene in the lawlessness of the vassal king.

On the one hand, although it is said that Chen Yao's predecessor was cowardly, but on the other hand, it revealed a message that the king of Jingjiang is in Guangxi, and there is no one to check and balance.

This has already involved Zhu Youzhang's core interests, how can Zhu Youzhu be indifferent.

Zhu Youzhu slowly closed the recital, this time, he surprisingly did not ask Liu Jian and others for their opinions, but said directly: "Proposed will, the king of Jingjiang exceeded the etiquette system, ignored the law of the ancestors, his words and deeds, evil deeds, the prince and the prince, demoted to the king of the county, confiscated the fiefdom of the three counties, his eldest son Zhu Jing was extremely evil, abolished as a concubine, ordered to be handled, and the clansman Zhu Shan, also took back the Jingshi together, and severely punished him." ”
