Chapter 506: Carrying the Coffin and Death
The Forbidden City was struck by lightning......
Entering April, it rained for days, the sky thundered and rolled, endlessly, and finally on the day before the April 14th Dynasty meeting, a thunderbolt struck the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City, and smashed the owl beast on the eaves of the Qianqing Palace on the spot!
This can only be regarded as a trivial matter in the future generations, but in this day and age, even the most insignificant trivial matter will evolve into a big event like the sky is falling apart once it is linked to politics!
Now it is the period when Emperor Jiajing established the Ming League and set 'non-league members are not allowed to participate in politics', the government and the opposition are discussing a lot, coupled with the promotion of officials behind the scenes, Emperor Jiajing's move has become a landmark measure for the emperor to destroy Confucianism and Taoism!
Confucianism attaches the most importance to inheritance and Taoism, and now that the emperor has made it clear that the chariot and horse plan to dig a pit and bury Confucianism, how can Confucian officials endure it!
The inaction of the cabinet aroused strong dissatisfaction from all over the Manchu dynasty, and countless officials directly stated the shortcomings of the Jianmeng through the General Administration Department, and the six auxiliary ministers of the cabinet were impeached, and everyone could feel that a turbulent undercurrent was brewing in this imperial capital.
This undercurrent indicates a game between the monarch and the ministers, and it also means that in the coming days, perhaps the capital and even the officialdom of the world will usher in an unprecedented political reshuffle.
April 15th of the seventh year of Jiajing!
Lu Wan, an auxiliary minister of the cabinet and president of the Supreme Procuratorate of the Ming Dynasty, simply had a little breakfast, then put on his official robe and walked out with a solemn face!
The sedan chair is in the front, and the coffin is in the back!
Now that the time of the court meeting has been changed to the time of Chen, the dawn in April is also early, just like this, a sedan chair and a coffin swagger through the market, causing a sensation can be imagined!
"Who is this?"
"I don't know, what is the word on the sedan plate?"
"That's Lu!"
"Lu? Could it be Lord Lu of the Cabinet? ”
"What is this for?"
"Carrying the coffin to the court, it seems that it is going to die!"
As soon as the two words of death came out, the onlookers were suddenly sensational!
Who would have thought that in the Ming Dynasty, which is now punishing corruption and eradicating corruption, it is becoming more and more clear, and there will be a drama on the stage!
What is a dead admonition!
Generally speaking, it is the means adopted by the upright minister in the face of the loss of power of the faint king, which is a crazy act of putting his own life out of the way and ignoring it!
In other words, in the eyes of the dead admonition Lu Wan, Emperor Jiajing is an out-and-out faint monarch!
Is Emperor Jiajing a faint monarch? The onlookers suddenly exploded......
How deep is the Jiajing Son of Heaven to win the hearts of the people, you can go to the countryside and ask the people, who doesn't say that Emperor Jiajing is the Holy Son of Heaven in the court, and the people of the Jiajing Dynasty can meet such a holy monarch, it is simply a blessing from eight lifetimes of cultivation.
The people can be fed and clothed, can live and work in peace and contentment, and now the Ming Dynasty is in good weather, the country and the people are safe, and those who do all this are the Holy Sons of Heaven, so there are even faint officials and dead admonitions!
The people who learned the truth immediately scolded and scolded, but they hated that Lu Wan was still an official now, if he was in the prisoner car, it was estimated that he would be flooded by rotten vegetable leaves and dung at this time......
"It's good that this faint official is dead, and if he dies, there will be one less scourge for the Ming Dynasty."
"That's it, that is, the Holy Son of Heaven is so benevolent, and there are traitors in charge, it's really a pity to die."
"Such a traitor should be Ling Chi, if the Son of Heaven cuts him, I must go and grab a piece of meat."
"Lost conscience." An old man cried: "The life of the common people is only a few years better, there were thieves in the street in the past, and now there are traitors who want to die, why don't these thieves in the world die?"
"These traitors will not end well!"
Lu Wan, who was sitting in the sedan chair with his eyes slightly closed, listened to the undisguised discussions of the people outside the sedan chair, and only felt that his blood was swelling and his muscles were bursting up!
A bunch of fools!
Lu Wan never denied that some of the reform measures of Emperor Jiajing had brought great changes to the Ming Dynasty, let alone deny that such moral policies as the abolition of conscription had made the lives of the common people much better, and he would not deny that Emperor Jiajing had reorganized the army and reborn the army of the Ming Dynasty!
However, the people's livelihood is the people's livelihood, the military is the military, and Confucianism and Taoism can not be generalized!
For pure Confucians, no matter how much the world changes, the interests of scholars are damaged, and the Taoism of Confucianism is injured, then they are all losers or even sinners!
has realized the ambition of Emperor Jiajing, if the Confucians are not united at this time, and no one stands up to defend the way to the death, then do you want to watch the emperor erode the foundation of Confucianism step by step, and let the Confucianism of the Jiajing Dynasty become the sinner of history!
Lu Wan felt that he would not be alone! He won't be fighting alone!
Mao Zheng one moment (six o'fifteen), a large number of officials have gathered in front of the Chengtian Gate, and when the palace gate is unlocked, all the officials will enter the palace at that time, and those who have office space in the palace will wait for the eunuch to summon them in the duty room, and those who do not have them will gather outside the Qianqing Palace, after all, they are not qualified to go to the palace, and the great court will be just a person's head.
Of course, the real bigwigs generally enter the palace with points, otherwise how can they show their high strength......
But today is different, everyone knows that a storm is brewing in the capital today, and the cabinet is undoubtedly in the center of this storm.
The cabinet elders are still going to be a fart at this time, at least until this storm is completely eliminated, no one dares to take it lightly!
Yang Yiqing was chatting awkwardly with several officials, and suddenly found that the crowd began to commotion, turned his head to look, and just saw Lu Wan getting down from the sedan chair, the black coffin behind the sedan chair was simply creepy, and Yang Yiqing's scalp suddenly exploded.
Three steps and two steps forward, Yang Yiqing said angrily with a calm face: "Quanqing, what is this going on!"
Yang Yiqing couldn't help but be angry, carrying the coffin to death, it was equivalent to pointing at the emperor's nose and scolding the faint monarch, with the strength of Emperor Jiajing, Lu Wan's fate was almost predictable.
After working together for a few years, there have been no major changes in the cabinet, it can be said that the relationship between cabinet colleagues is quite harmonious, and Yang Yiqing naturally does not want Lu Wan to go straight and upright.
"Lord Shoufu said with a smile, the lower officials carried the coffin to the court today, naturally in order to advise the king, to Kuang Sheji!"
"Ridiculous, ridiculous." Yang Yiqing stumbled and said: "Quanqing's move, where is Your Majesty, where are the subjects of the world!"
"Shoufu doesn't need to persuade him anymore, the lower officials have made up their minds, and if they don't succeed today, they will become benevolent." Lu Wan said in a sonorous voice: "The Son of Heaven set up an alliance, its intention is already obvious, as a Confucian pure minister, he did not dare to come forward in the autumn of the danger of the Taoist system, Confucian Sheng's learning, only afraid of breaking off, Lu Mou today with this blood to wake up the world's corporal clan, protect the Confucian Taoist system, although it is difficult to die!"
Several ministers tried hard to persuade each other, but Lu Wan was unmoved, and the ministers could only cry out in vain.
At this moment, the bell rang and the palace gate was lifted......
