Chapter 44: Sanctimonious
Zhu Yijun frowned, and glanced at Lin Siyan approvingly, although he didn't know what his attitude was, at least this topic that ran away without knowing anything was finally back. Zhu Yijun said happily: "Lin Qing has something to say, just say it." ”
Lin Siyan bowed and said: "The minister thinks that Ye Xiaotian is certainly guilty of killing the four ministers in Guizhou, but these four local officials have no court, assassinating the officials, provoking disputes, and there is also a big crime that cannot be forgiven." Ye Xiaotian fought back angrily when he was assassinated by them, and only then did he kill people.
Master Fang Cai Shoufu said that Ye Xiaotian is excusable and his sin is unforgivable, and in his opinion, he is unforgivable and excusable. Therefore, for Ye Xiaotian, the minister thinks that he can be demoted to his official, which is also in line with my Ming ancestral system. For local officials who do nothing and commit tredives, and have no extreme crimes, the imperial court has always punished them by degrading their officials. ”
"The minister is against!" What jumped out was not a certain meritorious hero who catered to the holy will, nor was it a supervisor who couldn't get along with the administrator, but Gao Qiyu, the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites who was Lin Siyan and an official.
Gao Qiyu and Lin Siyan have always been at odds, for no other reason than because the two of them are competitors. Gao Qiyu has been a left waiter for many years, and seeing that the Ministry of Rites is old and is about to reach the age of Zhishi, if the position of the right waiter is vacant, Gao Shilang has a great possibility to ascend to the position, and he is not afraid of jumping out of Lin Siyan halfway.
Lin Shilang is a few years younger than him, but he is shrewd and capable, his official reputation is excellent, and his official connections are not bad, and he has very harmonious friends in several key departments such as the General Administration Department, the Ministry of War, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Gao Qiyu bowed down and said: "The sin is unforgivable, and there are extenuating circumstances. There are extenuating circumstances, and the sin is unforgivable. Minister, on top of this palace, are you actually playing with these word games? Is Ye Xiaotian guilty or not? Murdering a minister without permission is a crime! The use of force in public affairs is not permitted. It's guilty!
Even if he was forced to do so, could he have reported it to the government beforehand? Did he ever plead guilty to the court afterwards? All of the above, nothing, why not? Guy is also blind to the court! In the final analysis, Ye Xiaotian and the four local officials are just personal grudges, and the vendetta should be severely punished. Therefore, the minister thought that he should be sent to Qiongzhou! ”
Lin Shilang said coldly: "The four local officials have bad intentions and have repeatedly poisoned them, and Shi Futai has never taken office. Ye Xiaotian has no way to ask for help, why not fight back? ”
Gao Shilang retorted: "Futai has never taken office, there is Futai, above Futai, and the imperial court, is Guizhou a lawless place, can he only be left to his own business?" ”
Lin Shilang looked up to the sky and let out a long laugh and said, "What is the situation in Guizhou?" You don't know about it, do you? If you want to say that it is a place of rule of law, and the court can control those domineering local officials, it is a bully to the king! Tusi self-governs its people and governs its land. Collect its own taxes and lead its own soldiers, just like a country within a country, Ye Xiaotian's case. It can be seen how the local officials of the place are without court! The imperial court should strengthen the governance of Guizhou, and changing the land and returning to the stream is the only good policy! ”
Yan Yifei picked up the wat board and said: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”
Qiao Hanwen also picked up the wat board and said, "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”
The official department examined the merit of the Chinese Zhusheng solemnly said: "Whether Guizhou will change the land and return to the stream will affect the overall situation. The minister thinks that he should plan it slowly, and he should not be in a hurry. ”
Hu Chenghei of Taifu Temple came out of the class and said: "What Master Wen said is extremely true, my dynasty has been running Guizhou since the time of Taizu, and the strategies used are urgent and slow, depending on the situation. There is nothing to do in Guizhou today, there are occasional lawlessness, there is no rebellion, and there are sudden sword soldiers, which may cause great changes......"
Emperor Wanli held his forehead weakly, he vaguely remembered that he wanted to discuss Ye Xiaotian's crime, and later it seemed to have developed into a situation where the left and right attendants of the Ministry of Rites attacked each other, and the internal fighting of the Ministry of Rites had not yet come to a conclusion, and the topic had become a major national policy related to the imperial court: to change the land and return to the stream! When is this fade to the end?
The high waiter of the Ministry of Rites said in a deep voice: "My lords, what the emperor wants to discuss is Ye Xiaotian's crime!" This matter of changing the land and returning to the stream, let's let it go first! As soon as Gao Qiyu's words fell, Liuchuan, the superintendent of Yunnan Province, let out a long laugh and jumped out again.
Lin Siyan, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and Shi Yan, the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, are also friends, like-minded, and belong to the Eagle Party. Of course, the Eagle Party did not have a clear political program, nor did it establish a sect, but only to summarize these people, a name summarized by the author, and the princes of the imperial court did not know that their small group had some unknown "little secrets", only that they had a very close personal relationship. But that's enough!
The supervisors were against severely punishing Ye Xiaotian, and Lin Shilang also thought that he should be punished lightly. Now that Gao Shilang and Lin Shilang are in opposition, Lin Shilang and the second-in-command of the supervision system are good friends, who will the imperial historians stand on?
Wang Yushi had already held back his strength to show a hand, but Lin Shilang was too good at interrupting, and inexplicably led the topic to change the land and return to the stream, and now Gao Qiyu has pulled the topic back again, which is just convenient for him to make a move.
Wang Yushi saluted the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, the four local officials bend the law and ignore the court, harming the people of the court and shaking your majesty's country!" Ye Xiaotian fought back angrily, brazenly killing four local officials, Xiao Xiao was dignified, what was deterred was the outlaw, and what was defended was the great tomorrow. Even if there is a crime of cutting off the first and not doing it, should it be severely punished? ”
Without waiting for the emperor to answer, Wang Yushi's figure turned, and he pointed to Gao Shilang: "This person has ill intentions and advocates severe punishment of Ye Xiaotian, which really has ulterior motives. ”
Gao Qiyu was shocked and angry, and said, "You are talking nonsense, what ulterior motives do I have?" ”
Wang Yushi was speechless, he sneered, turned to Zhu Yijun again, and said loudly: "The minister Wang Liuchuan, impeach Gao Qiyu, the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, has the intention of rebellion!" ”
"Porphy!" Gao Shilang knelt down directly, took off his official hat, and was the same as Shen Shixing, the first assistant of the cabinet of the Fangcai Cabinet, who was so angry that his stomach was bulging, and he could only patiently listen to the impeachment.
Emperor Wanli saw that they were attacking each other and turned this court meeting into a farce, and he was so sad in his heart: "My old Zhu family's rivers and mountains are just looking for such a group and are they in charge of me?" ”
But Rao knew that these imperial histories were a little like to exaggerate, and when he heard such a sensitive matter as rebellion, he couldn't help but raise his vigilance.
Wanli sat up straight and said in a deep voice: "Although the imperial history has the right to rumor, it is not allowed to frame the minister for no reason. What kind of ill heart does Gao Shilang have, if you can't say that you are ugly, I will never spare you! ”
Wang Liuchuan said proudly: "Your Majesty, Gao Qiyu, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, presided over the Nanzhili Township Examination. once published the title "Shun Yiyi Yiyi Yu", hehe! Who is Shun? Who is Yu? Gao Qiyu presided over the Nanzhili Township Examination and was the candidate designated by Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant at that time. This person has bad intentions, this is to persuade Zhang Juzheng to be the emperor, he deliberately came up with this proposition, testing the public opinion of Shilin, and at the same time, he also hinted at it, hoping to understand his meaning and persuade people who want to drill into the camp! ”
Gao Qiyu was about to cry, he really wanted to shout "wronged", but the emperor hadn't asked him yet. He couldn't say anything. The high squire who knelt on the Jinluan Hall trembled with anger. Emperor Wanli turned to Shen Shixing again and said lightly: "Shoufu thinks that Gao Qing is guilty?" ”
When Shen Shixing heard that Emperor Wanli still called Gao Qiyu a secretary, he obviously did not blame him for this, and hurriedly said: "Wang Yushi is guilty of capital crimes with this warmth, if the emperor believes his words, the ministers are afraid that slander will follow, and the prison of words is definitely not the atmosphere of the Taiping Dynasty!" ”
Emperor Wanli bowed slightly. Shen Shixing glanced at his fellow party secretary Li Qiuyu, who was an old partner in the officialdom, Li Shangshu immediately understood what he meant, and said angrily: "Wang Liuchuan relies on the privilege of imperial history. slander and deceive the king, frame the minister, if not severely punished, the Taiwan officials will be unscrupulous! I thought. When Wang Liuchuan is demoted out of the capital, as a punishment! ”
Wanli had long hated these people, and immediately nodded without hesitation. But before he could speak, Ye Qianqi, the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, and Yan Yifei, the right capital, came out of class together, knelt down, removed the crown, and shouted. It is the right of the official to hearsay things. If the emperor agrees with what Li Shangshu said, he will be able to learn from now on! ”
In the matter, Wang Shixing and Yushi Li Zhi both knelt down and shouted: Chen Wang Shixing (Li Zhi) impeached Li Qiuyu, the secretary of the ministry, and attached the meaning of the ministers, blocking the words of the court! ”
Someone has to be impeached without a crown, and Gao Qiyu has not yet gotten up before he can listen to the guilt, and Li Qiuyu, the secretary of the ministry, took off his hat again and knelt down next to him to listen to the staff. Emperor Wanli was furious, and couldn't help but say the opposite, saying: "What the imperial history says is reasonable, since this is the case, let Gao Qiyu's official son be dismissed, and tell him to go home to retire." ”
Gao Qiyu's face turned pale when he heard this, he just wanted to say goodbye to Lin Shilang, how could he have imagined that he would get involved in so many people and stir up so many things? In a moment of frustration, Shoufu Shen was angry.
Shen Shixing is certainly sleek, but he is not without temper, Gao Qiyu is the first person to stand up and echo him, and he is a dignified servant, if he is driven out of the capital by the imperial historians, what is he doing as the first assistant?
Shen Shixing raised his eyebrows, shook his robe, knelt on the ground with a "porphy" sound, and said loudly: "Gao Qiyu is not guilty!" If the emperor is afraid of science and technology, he will punish his crimes. The minister asked to be removed from his post and left the capital with Gao Qiyu! ”
Yang Wei, the head of the household department, is also a party member of Shen Shixing, and immediately took his robe and knelt down: "The minister asked for resignation and left Beijing with Shen Shoufu and Gao Qiyu!" ”
Xu Guo, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, and Yu Youding, the cabinet minister, saw that the dispute between the administrative officer and the supervisor had entered a white-hot state, and they could no longer stand idly by, so they immediately went out of work and knelt down, and said in a loud voice: "Yushi Wang Liuchuan deliberately provoked discord among the courtiers, this is not an impartial performance of responsibility, it is really harboring evil intentions, and the ministers think that they should be removed from their official positions!" ”
Emperor Wanli narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Hmm! According to the opinions of the elders and ministers, should Wang Liuchuan be punished? ”
As soon as he heard the emperor's words, he seemed to have the intention of agreeing, and the public speech officials who had just stood up hugged and knelt down again: "Xu Guo relied on his power, persecuted the speech officials, closed the holy hearing, and should be severely punished!" ”
"Hahahaha......, hahahaha......"
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter in the Jinluan Palace, and the ministers who knelt on the ground and made a painful appearance looked up in amazement, and saw Emperor Wanli sitting on the imperial chair laughing loudly. Zhu Yijun couldn't stop laughing, laughed to the extreme, and slapped a few times on the imperial case until he burst into tears.
His heart was extremely disgusted and extremely sad: What kind of place is the court meeting, is it really the place where civil and military officials worry about the country and the people? What are the Princes of Gongon? Full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, a belly of male thieves and female prostitutes! And I, I just wanted a woman, and they blamed me!
Zhu Yijun laughed and stood up, and walked behind the throne screen under the stunned gaze of the full hall of civil and military personnel, until his figure disappeared completely, and the unbridled laughter continued to come. Before long, Sandezi came out of the Qianqing Palace with the holy decree, left the palace, and went straight to the post house.
Wanli is completely tired of being played with like puppets by these sanctimonious people, compared to these people, Ye Xiaotian is not so hateful, Zhu Yijun would rather give up the punishment of him than face the faces of that group of people again!
