Chapter 806: The Talker is guilty

After Wang Tong said this, Emperor Wanli was stunned, he had already heard it clearly, but he still couldn't confirm it, and he wanted to listen to it again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Wang Tong, you are reckless, if you are really a traitor with evil intentions, Your Majesty, Wang Tong's intentions are very evil, please Your Majesty is aware of it"

Chen Jingbang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, directly shouted angrily, but Wang Tong looked at Emperor Wanli with a resolute expression, and the criminal department on the side was still up:

"Your Majesty, the smooth passage of words is the key to the clarity of the great government, and the innocence of the speaker is also the rule set by the ancestors, what Wang Tong said, is it not to let the words and roads be blocked, and the people's feelings cannot be reached, is it not to block the mouth of the people and the people, and the mouth of the people is more than the defense of Sichuan, if according to what Wang Tong said, it will cause a catastrophe sooner or later."

Pan Jitao said while looking at the expression of Emperor Wanli, Emperor Wanli looked indifferent, Pan Jitao gritted his teeth, his tone was a little more excited, and continued to speak:

"Your Majesty, Wang Tong wants the anger of the people to gather, wants to break the rules of the ancestors, and wants His Majesty's country to fall into chaos, how can this kind of thinking not be unpredictable, how can it not be said that it is a bad intention, please Your Majesty will be aware of it, and please Your Majesty will punish it severely."

Wang Xun, the secretary of the household department, Yang Zhao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Pan Jitao, the secretary of the criminal department, and Chen Jingbang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, are all out of the ranks, they are all Zhang Siwei's party, they communicate with each other, and they are each other's Olympic aid, so it is natural to stand together at this time.

Zhang Xueyan, the secretary of the military department, did not move on the side, in the cabinet, the auxiliary Shen Shixing and the second assistant Wang Xijue did not care about the ministry, Shen Shixing's expression was faint, he had already pleaded for Yan Qing just now, but there was no kindness to come out again, Wang Xijue's eyes turned around on several Shangshu and Wang Tong, and sneered softly:

"This Wang Tong also can't listen to the official barking"

Wang Xijue's ill feelings towards the officials are well known to the government and the public, and it is normal for him to say this, Shen Shixing, who has always looked faint, glared at him sideways, and said in a low voice:

"Yuanyu, be cautious"

Wang Xijue is quite different from ordinary civil officials, he has been the priest of the country, and he has been the head of the Hanlin Academy, with these two qualifications, that is, the number one Qingwang person among the Qingliu scholars, but when the Wanli five years of the love discussion, only five people were led out of the hole by Zhang Juzheng, and when the execution took the official, no one in the court stood up to speak, but Wang Xijue went to the rescue.

Everyone already knows the ending, those who were exiled were exiled, those who were demoted were demoted, and Wang Xijue also stayed at home until the eleventh year of Wanli under the pretext of going home to visit the sick.

After returning to Beijing in the eleventh year of Wanli, he worked as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites as usual, and then entered the cabinet, and Zhang Siwei's party in the middle of the court almost drove Zhang Juzheng's forces out of the center, and everyone in the world knew that the wind direction had changed, and everyone was denying Zhang Juzheng's merits and attacking him for anything.

However, at this time, Wang Xijue affirmed Zhang Juzheng's merits, and believed that when Zhang Juzheng was in power, there were also many good policies that should be retained, so he was an outlier of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Tong's operation in Tianjin Wei, every year to the palace to send so many silver taels, outside the Xuanfu, in the Gubeikou outside the two victories, this is Wang Xijue considered Wang Tong's ability, Wang Tong set out to conquer the city of naturalization, although he also thought it was reckless and reckless, but after the army was dispatched, it was also he who urged the military department, the household department and the relevant yamen to hurry up to provide military supplies and provide all the convenience of the army.

In those days when the news was cut off, there were more and more complaints and attacks, and Wang Xijue also said in the cabinet that if the army was not defeated, it would be a great crime to create such rumors that would corrupt the morale of the people, and if the army was defeated, it would be right to first grasp the defense and preparations everywhere.

Wang Xijue's cynicism at the court meeting was only heard by Shen Shixing, and it had no impact on the current situation in the court.

"The speaker is not guilty, Wang Tong's move to block the way of speech will definitely make the national government chaotic, please be cautious"

If it is a normal recital, or a motion proposed by other ministers, this is nothing, but Wang Tong's first recital just now made the official Shangshu Yan Qing think about it behind closed doors, and now he is proposing this, and everyone has to pay attention to it, could it be that Emperor Wanli and Wang Tong have long been in contact and communication?

This idea made people feel even more frightened, but Emperor Wanli was obviously a little hesitant, and saw Wang Tong from the courtiers who came out of the ranks, and then turned his head to look at the celebrant and the others.

The courtiers Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue and Zhang Xueyan all looked like they had nothing to do with themselves, and the celebrants behind them, Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale were all indifferent, but Zhang Hong and Tian Yi were all indignant.

"Wang Tong, you said severe punishment, but the others disagreed, they have already said their reasoning, you also tell yours?"

Hearing this, everyone immediately understood that Emperor Wanli and Wang Tong should not have communicated beforehand, and everyone was relieved, but Wang Tong replied:

"If a person relies on his identity as an official and a scholar, and makes a talisman with the innocence of a speaker, he speaks falsely every day, spreads rumors, and has no real evidence, so he instigates the scholars and the people, and shakes the morale of the people, and attacks the government and officials. How can such evil deeds be said to be innocent?"

Wang Tong said sonorously and powerfully, and the ministers in the court suddenly realized that there were not many reasons they could come up with, nothing more than the rules of the ancestors, and all kinds of words and paths were too vague, and the Ministry of Industry was still there:

"Wang Tong, you just said that these rumors have chilled the loyalty of meritorious soldiers, so isn't your motion to severely punish the official Qingliu cold the minds of loyal and righteous soldiers?"

"If it is true and loyal, it will not say such rumors, and now the situation, what the official Qingliu said, has nothing to do with practical government affairs, and has nothing to do with truth or falsehood, but to be able to speak amazingly, what is said, not to ask for any true evidence for what is said, but to be frightening and tempting, Shang Shu said that the Northern Expedition army was defeated, and Shang Shu said that the Northern Expedition army will kill the people, and they have been named as daring to speak, but no one has explained, if the Northern Expedition army is defeated, how should the Beijing division be defended, if there is no general, who should be selected to replace them, they only care about empty words and deceive people and bluff people, After hearing more people, they became celebrities and ministers, and had the opportunity to be promoted to official wealth, but what about the practices and people he harmed by spreading rumors? No one pays attention to it, and if it is investigated, a light word of innocence can cover up the past."

Wang Tong paused and continued:

"Rumors and troubles, slander the good, no one will be held accountable after saying the wrong, no one needs to be responsible, but can be famous in the world, the benefits and losses, even three-year-old children can see it, in the long run, who is willing to concentrate on national affairs and political affairs, who is still willing to be down-to-earth, every day only need to think about how to say big things, tell lies, deceive people and deceive people can become famous in the world, step by step, such a trend is becoming more and more intense, so go on, low-grade civil officials, scholars and scholars, who will be willing to do errands, will rush up to do this' 'Celebrity and Mercier', then who will manage the place for Your Majesty, and who will run the finances for Your Majesty? ”

The hall is quiet again, all the people in the hall except for the left and right of the Imperial Court are in charge of the imperial history of the imperial history, and they have to fight, and the rest of the people in high positions who have not been sprayed by the words and officials below, there is nothing to say if they really do something wrong, but the paint on the front door of the house is too bright, and the seasonal river is eaten at home is more, and there are people who are impeached, and if they want to settle this matter, they have to ask someone to negotiate privately, and they also want to give the silver a position, and there are grades in the officialdom to distinguish the high and low, but now, On the contrary, the senior officials above the third rank should be afraid of the young officials of the sixth grade and the seventh grade, for fear of being caught by these people.

If it is really Hai Rui and other direct ministers, out of a public heart, everyone is in awe, but at the moment, the feeling of Jingshi Yanguan Qingliu is only resentment and helplessness.

People who can reach the position of Qiqing (Shangshu and Duyushi) naturally feel that they are relying on real talent to learn to have today, and they will not have a good impression of the person who deceives the world and steals his name, and they also feel a little unwilling to let such people gain power.

However, everyone was immediately a little frightened, wouldn't this be persuaded by Wang Tong, if such a performance was approved, wouldn't it be that Wang Tong had completely suppressed all the people in the court as soon as he came to the court, and this is the case today, and it will be like this in the future, and everyone still has the right to speak.

But if you want to deny it for a while, you can't find any strong reasons, Wang Tong's sentences are true, and the reasons for refutation can't be too vague, and the hall is actually quiet.

Shen Shixing looked at the people in the hall and said in a deep voice:

"What Lord Wang means is that the official himself is not wrong, but those who spread rumors and slander and reverse right and wrong should be punished?"

"That's exactly what Shen Ge Lao said."

After Shen Shixing asked this sentence, he didn't speak, and he was silent, since Wang Tong didn't want to abolish the official system, but just wanted to punish some of it, then it would be regarded as Wang Tong's personal revenge and promised him, why bother with too much on this, if it has been entangled for a long time, what if this Wang Tong makes things bigger.

The rest of the people gradually came back to their senses, and just as they were about to speak, Emperor Wanli opened his mouth and asked:

"Zhang Banban, what do you think of what Wang Tong said?"

"Long live the Lord, it is inconvenient for the slaves and maids to say much about the affairs of the outer court, but in the inner court, if anyone says the wrong thing, there are rules and punishments in the ceremonial room, after all, everyone is the slave of the Long Live Lord, and they must not be ignored, and the officials are clear, they are all my Ming people, and they are blessed by the grace of the Lord of Long Live, and they can't be held accountable if they do something wrong."
