Chapter 638: It was the same Zhang Party
readx;
Liang Menglong, the secretary of the ministry, was in office for less than three months, and he was suddenly impeached, greedy for more than 20,000 taels of ink, which is all clear evidence, and there is also clear evidence of exceeding the rules in the family. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The big man with real power in Jingshi, who doesn't do this, the amount of more than 20,000 taels will be laughed at, this absurdity is even more nonsense, if you can't even be promiscuous, who will be the official.
But these things can't be put on the table, and the imperial history presents this matter, which is a big sin for the people involved.
Seeing how extravagant and lascivious his subordinates were, Emperor Wanli always remembered what he had seen when he went to Zhang Juzheng's house to visit the patient, and his face naturally sank, and Zhang Cheng on the side bowed down and explained:
"Gonggong Feng thinks that Liang Menglong, as an important minister, does not cultivate the minister's festival, and should be punished."
Emperor Wanli threw the notebook in his hand on the table and said indifferently:
"Approve a few words on behalf of the widow, deceive the king and contempt the law, take care of being a minister, and allow him to return to his hometown."
Zhang Cheng hurriedly picked up the red pen on the bookcase and wrote a few sentences, and Emperor Wanli didn't look at it, he closed it directly, but picked up a few other pieces of paper, leaned on the back of the chair and read it, looking relaxed and freehand.
"It's better for Wang Tong to look better here, take a big ship to the sea, go over there to exterminate pirates, kill a group, appease a group, tsk, it's really wonderful, Zhang Banban, Wang Tong also said that there are many health affairs in Tianjin, and the arrangements cannot be completed for a while, and it may not be until next year to come to Beijing to take up his post...... Do you think he has a grudge against the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard? ”
Hearing this, Zhang Cheng chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly bowed his head and said:
"Long live the Lord has thought about it a lot, if Wang Tong has grievances, how can he rest assured that he has been in Tianjin Wei for so long, and he has done so many things for the Long Live Lord, and besides, Tianjin Wei has a forbidden army, a seaport, and trade with everywhere, in all aspects, there are thousands of things, and it is not good to settle down for a while."
Zhang Cheng's judgment in his heart is also Wang Tong's resentment, the fight on the night of June 19, Zhang Cheng still remembers it vividly, eleven young generals, withstood the siege of hundreds of guards and eunuchs, killed one and wounded five, the battle scene was not seen in person, but in the house you can clearly hear the howling and screaming outside, the roar of guns, and when the battle stops and goes out to see, the thick smell of blood and gunsmoke, and the corpses stacked in the courtyard all prove the fierceness of the battle.
is not afraid of life and death, Qingtian protects, such a feat, it is not impossible to be a marquis, but the Jinyi Guard who the Son of Heaven personally promised to command the envoy was not realized, but in the end, he got a commander and a fellow knower, and no one would feel comfortable in his heart.
But Zhang Cheng naturally wouldn't say this, Wang Tong is his right-hand man, and he must maintain it well.
Emperor Wanli was stunned, sighed and said:
"It's true that it's not good to be outnumbered, and Wang Tong has always been dedicated to his errands...... Zhang Banban, in the current situation, it should be Wang Zhen's side that wants to fight with Zhang Siwei, right? ”
"Long live Lord Mingjian, the news from the Department of Public Security, and the report from the two departments of the factory and health department all say that now the Jingshi Yanguan Qingliu has been mobilized, although Liang Menglong was promoted by Zhang Juzheng, but this time he has been close to Zhang Siwei, and this impeachment may be the beginning."
"Follow them, follow them, whatever the queen mother and Feng Daban think, just do it, the widow just looks lively"
Zhang Cheng hurriedly bowed down, sighing in his heart, and the emperor also had resentment in his heart
On August 23, a decree was issued in the palace, and Liang Menglong, the secretary of the ministry, deceived the monarch and thought that he was a minister, and he was old, and he was allowed to return to his hometown.
This disposition is a setback for Zhang Siwei's first department, everyone knows that striking while the iron is hot, on August 25, there is also the imperial history Cao Yikui Shangshu, saying that Liang Menglong, the secretary of the ministry, and Zhang Siwei, the assistant Zhang Siwei, have colluded, and admitted Zhang Siwei's cousin Wang Qian as the head of the ministry.
Being able to be the head of the ministry for a term, then after coming out, you can be a foreigner elsewhere, which is one of the shortcuts to soaring, and the palace has given a disposition, Wang Qian resigned, but reprimanded Cao Yikui for framing the auxiliary.
But a series of dispositions by the imperial court seem to show an attitude, although the palace sent officials to Zhang Siwei's house to appease, saying that the palace thinks it has nothing to do with him, but Zhang Siwei still asks for resignation.
At this time, Zhang Wenda, the imperial historian of Shanxi Province, commented on Zhang Siwei and criticized him a lot, thinking that his talent and virtue were not enough to serve as an assistant, and pointed out that Zhang Siwei had accepted bribes several times.
This letter was folded and submitted, but the reaction in the palace surprised Zhang Juzheng outside the party, and the Wanli Emperor was furious and demoted Zhang Wenda to the governor of the Fujian Transport Division.
Wang Zhen, who has temporarily replaced the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, and Zeng Shengwu and others of the Ministry of Industry have only gotten the news, Zhang Siwei gave Feng Bao a heavy gift, it is said that there are several priceless famous ink treasures, Feng Bao is good at calligraphy, this gift can be said to be his favorite, the matter of the inner court, Feng Gonggong still has weight in speaking.
Zhang Wenda was belittled, but Zhang Siwei avenged him, saying that Zhang Wenda just listened to rumors and did not have to be guilty, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that this was just a fake gesture, and Zhang Wenda was still kicked out of Beijing in early September.
The attitude of the palace this time eased Zhang Juzheng's offensive against Zhang Siwei, and Zhang Siwei did not make any big moves during this period, but only promoted the two.
Yang Junmin, the right deputy governor of Shandong, was promoted to the right attendant of the military department, and Li Zhi was arranged to be the imperial history of Jiangxi Province, and the right attendant of the military department was the third product to deal with the general affairs of the military department.
However, Yang Junmin is the son of Yang Bo, an old minister who served as the secretary of the military department and the secretary of the Ministry of Officials when Emperor Longqing, Yang Bo is also a native of Puzhou, Shanxi, and Zhang Siwei's uncle Wang Chonggu, who was the governor of the three sides of Xuanda Shanxi, is a good friend, and such a person is naturally Zhang Siwei's ally.
In addition, the new imperial historian Li Zhi, who in the Beijing division does not know that he is Zhang Siwei's proud protégé, and arranges his most trusted person in the position of the official, and it is more convenient to speak.
In today's situation, the figures on the side of Zhang Juzheng's party have been dispatched, although Zhang Siwei is embarrassed to parry, but he still withstood it, and now such a decisive figure is needed to add a hand, and Shen Shixing, who is regarded as the leader after Zhang Juzheng by Wang Zhan, Zeng Xingwu and others, has not yet moved.
On the seventh day of the ninth month, the leaves began to wither and yellow, the autumn mood of the Beijing division gradually became stronger, and the court meeting ended, Wang Zhen and Zeng Xingwu hurriedly dealt with the affairs at hand, and rushed to the Shenshi mansion.
"Mo Gong, if Zhang Siwei is in power, he will repeat it at will, and abolish Zhang Ge Lao's law, and we will all die without a place to be buried."
"Mo Gong is the second assistant, and the auxiliary is also expected, His Majesty is close to Mo Gong, if Mo Gong speaks, it is worth a hundred percent of the following officials..."
Wang Zhen and Zeng Xingwu spoke sincerely, but Shen Shixing did not make a clear statement, everyone has been getting along for a long time, but they also know Shen Shixing's character, know that he does not mean to shirk, he is so cautious in doing things on weekdays, but he is sincere enough to make the interests clear, Shen Shixing will not be without action at this time.
All that should be said was said, and the two of them also said goodbye, among Zhang Juzheng's disciples, there will not be only the two of them who come to the door, there is still time now, they are not too anxious.
However, they went out with their front feet, but Shen Shixing turned from the living room to his study, where there was still a guest waiting, Shen Shixing walked in with a heavy face, and when the man saw it, he first got up and saluted.
"Lu Fucheng doesn't need to be polite, the old man sent a letter to Yang Sichen five days ago, and has been waiting for a reply."
The chaos of the teachers and students in Beijing, Yin Huangsen of Shuntian Mansion also couldn't do it anymore, and Chen Zhizhong, the chief of the government, was temporarily appointed as the governor of the palace, and Lu Wancai, who had made great contributions, was quietly promoted to the position of the general judge, and at the same time had the responsibility of the general judge.
Being able to do such a position is also shocking in the Ming Dynasty, and outsiders feel that if it weren't for the chaos, he would definitely not have reached this point.
Seeing Shen Shixing as Lu Wancai, kneeling and kowtowing is considered normal etiquette, Shen Shixing's attitude is already very polite, waiting for Yang Sichen to reply to Yunyun, everyone understands what is going on, Lu Wancai sat there in a scribe's green robe and said in amazement:
"Oh, maybe Mr. Yang has something over there and doesn't have time to reply, but this time I heard some gossip from the market and wanted to tell the adults."
Shen Shixing's eyes froze, and he turned around and said:
"Lu Fucheng is gossiping, you don't have to listen here, let's all go down."
The people who were waiting inside and outside the house were all interested in retreating, and they also covered the door, a Shuntian Mansion Minister, and a deputy assistant to the cabinet of the current dynasty, meeting in a private place such as the study, and no one would believe what gossip would say, but no one would say anything.
“…… Gossip, one day His Majesty and the internal officials chatted, talking about the current political dispute between the DPRK and China, His Majesty said, I don't like anyone in the DPRK, but the whole court is full of Zhang Juzheng's people, and it is uncomfortable to look uncomfortable, let Zhang Siwei fight over there......"
These words were really rebellious, but Shen Shixing's face was cautious, and he sighed at the end, got up and actually made a deep impression on Lu Wancai, Lu Wancai hurriedly stood up, waved his hand again and again, and said:
"Kill the lower officials, torture the lower officials......"
On the eighth day of the ninth month, Shen Shixing was suddenly infected with a cold, saying that he was sick and recuperating, and he did not see any guests behind closed doors, and Emperor Wanli sent internal officials to condole, and the officialdom was stunned.
Jingshi was quiet for fifteen days, and on September 23, Hu Ke gave Wang Jixian the impeachment of the Ministry of Works, Shangshu Zeng Shengwu, for accepting bribes, fornication, and exceeding the rules.
Emperor Wanli was furious, and according to the disposal of Liang Menglong, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials a month ago, he ordered Zhishi...
Zhang Siwei began to fight back.
