Chapter 988: Do your best
Two days after the emperor dropped out of the court, on the morning of the third day, Zhu Si finally appeared in the court.
However, no state affairs were discussed that day, and the original purpose of the civil servants in the court was also to put pressure on the emperor to release the civil officials who were locked in the imperial prison and participated in the Zuoshunmen incident.
But as soon as he came up, Zhu Si gave the officials present a dismissal.
Before the ministers entered the Fengtian Temple, the three people who were escorted outside had been pressed to the ground, ready to execute the court staff at any time. These three people, one is Feng Xi, one is Xia Yan, and the other is Zhang Chong.
One Hanlin bachelor, two six subjects to the matter.
It is equivalent to saying that the emperor is ready to punish three people with a cane, so that the courtiers know what the emperor's order cannot be violated. It was a great pilgrimage.
In addition to the civil ministers, even the martial arts are also listed, it is clear that the emperor's purpose is not simply to deter the civil officials, but also to tell those martial artists that you have to be loyal to me, now only I can represent the imperial court, and the civil officials are just vassals of the imperial court.
"Your Majesty... -」
After the basic etiquette, Qiao Yu, the secretary of the ministry, prepared to launch a plea campaign against the detained officials.
If it is feasible, Qiao Yu also plans to fight for the matter of the Great Rites in public, there was bloodshed yesterday, someone has been beaten to death in the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen, and the corpses have been sent out, doesn't this show that it has made a big fuss? Anyway, Qiao Yu felt that he should fulfill the last responsibility entrusted to Yang Tinghe.
Although Qiao Yu himself was also very strange, why Yang Tinghe's son Yang Shen was not waiting outside among the people who were being punished with a cane. Zhu Sidao: "Qiao Qingjia, what are you going to say, I know very well, you want to intercede for people outside, right?"
Qiao Yuxin said, not only do I have to intercede for the three outside, but I also want to be an iron-clad person in the matter of the big courtesy, and fight with reason, otherwise what will others say about me when I turn around?
Zhu Si looked at the silent cabinet of three, in the past, everything was initiated by the cabinet, but now the cabinet structure is completely different, with Yang Tinghe, Mao Ji and Jiang Mian leaving one after another, the cabinet no longer has the ability to continue to implement the strategy of Yang Tinghe staying, and now the cabinet has two neutral factions, one of the ritual faction, and it is natural to choose silence in this kind of matter.
"I don't want to listen to you, I don't want to say a word today, and the rest of you don't have to say anything! Hum! Yushi won't talk too much today, anyway, if they want to say it now, I won't listen to it!"
Zhu Si's words carried a kind of flaunting power, and even more the threat of red fruit.
The people of the six departments are basically imprisoned in the Fusi Yamen of Beizhen, and the most non-existent people in the court today are those imperial historians.
Zhu Si said coldly: "The three people outside don't think about the way of being ministers, don't look up to the grace of the king, and are bent on making it difficult for me, so that I can't be full of father-son affection. I am deeply distressed, and pull in, thirty rods for each of you!"
"Your Majesty!"
Immediately, a large number of people came out to intercede.
Zhu Si raised his hand indifferently and shouted, "Those who persuade are guilty of the same crime as the sinners!"
This scared the people out of the queue back.
To say that the Ming courtiers are very upright, but the problem is that in the Zhengde Dynasty, this group of ministers faced Zhu Houzhao, who treated the court as a child's play, and did not persuade the emperor to come back.
Now the emperor just wants to pursue the courtesy of treating his deceased father, and posthumously confer the title of emperor, to say that this is nonsense······ is also a serious nonsense, unlike Zhu Houzhao, every time the court staff almost carries a touch of nonsense, sometimes just because the emperor looks at someone who is not pleasing to the eye, or who speaks not to his heart, the minister suffers from flesh and skin.
......
Feng Xi, Zhang Chong and Xia Yan were sceptered in public.
In the Ming Dynasty, the court staff is the punishment that disregards the face of the monarch and the minister, and any minister who experiences this kind of thing will be covered with a psychological shadow for a lifetime, and for a person like Feng Xi, who is not young, it makes him even more heartbroken.
But these three people didn't say anything when they were beaten with sticks in the court, but one of them felt that he was wronged. It was Xia Yan.
Xia Yan felt that if he had to take two people to the court staff in the matter, he would not be able to take his turn, and even if he caught ten people, he would not be ranked.
But the problem is that the person who was killed in the edict last night was Zhang Yuan, the initiator of the Six Sects of Guardians, and with Zhang Yuan's death, Xia Yan was one of the first six people to be taken down, and it seemed reasonable to be pulled here to be scepter.
Xia Yan pondered in his heart, just because I am usually too upright, I go to speak out about everything, and I offended the powerful, so I ended up in such a miserable end? Thirty court rods, to be executed separately.
That is to say, all the officials watched the three of them, each of them received thirty strokes, and when the court staff was over, Feng Xi's situation was the most unoptimistic, after all, he was the oldest, and his flesh and blood were blurred, and he was going to suffer a major crime next.
And although Xia Yan and Zhang Chong also suffered from flesh and skin, they were young in the end, and they didn't even faint halfway. "Hold it down, and then execute it in ten days!" Zhu Sidao.
Fei Hong finally couldn't help but walk in the queue and persuaded: "Your Majesty, the punishment has already been punished, so let's stop in moderation!"
Zhu Sidao: "Elder Fei Ge, yesterday you went to persuade those who don't know the current affairs to leave, I think you are loyal, and I will only say a few more words to you now······ I punished them like this, but they took the blame for it, and if I only executed the punishment once, it would be difficult to vent the hatred in my heart! Retreat!"
Nothing was discussed, and in front of many civil servants and military ministers, the emperor directly ordered the retreat of the court. It means that he will not discuss this matter with anyone again.
···
The pilgrimage will disperse.
Wu Xun didn't have much opinion on this matter, but was a little happy in his heart.
Let you Wenchen usually look above the top, and feel that you are the most awesome in the world, and you have pressed us as a prince, now you know who is the main master of the Ming Dynasty, right?
Deserve!
On the Wenchen side, most of the people belong to the traditional faction, they oppose the Great Rites Discussion, advocating "succession to the heir", after the dissolution of the court, some went directly to Qiao Yu, and there were also those who besieged Fei Hong and other three cabinet ministers in the past, they had no idea of their own, and they all wanted to let someone with a higher status than themselves come out to preside over the situation.
But in fact, they themselves knew in their hearts that since the emperor did not listen to Qiao Yu and Fei Hong's persuasion during the court meeting, now that no one is there, it is useless to say anything.
Just when everyone walked out of the Fengtian Hall and argued on the way back to the Ya, Liu Chun came out of the crowd and walked to several officials of the Ministry of Rites, but instead of looking for the book of the Ministry of Rites, he called Zhu Hao aside to talk.
Everyone else knows that Zhu Hao once saved Liu Chun's life, and they also know that Liu Chun is close to Sun Jiao, and now that Sun Jiao is not in the court, Liu Chun attaches great importance to Zhu Hao, a junior, and it is reasonable to call him over to discuss it at this time, and no one even cares what they say.
"Jingdao, you have to come forward at this time!" Liu Chun spoke very directly.
Zhu Hao looked at Xi Shu, and Xi Shu also walked over to him.
Now those who know that Zhu Hao is by the emperor's side, and who still have some pity for those who are in charge of the ministers, will ask Zhu Hao to go to the emperor to intercede for those people.
Huang Zhan, Zhang Xuan, Gui Cao and others basically did not come forward, although they also knew Zhu Hao's status in the court, they would not have any pity for the detainees of the Beizhen Fusi, and even had some bad intentions in their hearts, hoping that the emperor would punish the officials who committed crimes more severely.
Because only by suppressing the arrogance of this group of people, those who have not been promoted in an ordinary way can they completely gain a firm foothold in the DPRK in the future.
If the emperor is not ruthless enough this time, then when that group of people recovers, he will have to carry out various attacks on the people of the Yili faction, mainly in terms of public opinion.
Zhu Hao shook his head and said, "It's difficult!" That's a straightforward answer. Can you say that you can intercede?
The emperor's attitude, everyone saw it.
After Xi Shu came over, he immediately asked Zhu Hao, "Could it be that all those people in the edict have been punished?" "Hmm."
Zhu Hao nodded, "In addition to the few who were released, there are also ······ Except for Yang Yongxiu, the rest of the people were punished with a rod for thirty years, and it was clearly ordered that they would be executed again in ten days!"
Xi Shu's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he was a little distressed.
After all, Xi Shu is not like Zhang Xuan, who simply relies on the great rites to discuss the position, he still treats himself as a traditional literary language, just following the court
The mainstream of the middle school disagrees, so he will feel that he has harmed that group of people.
Liu Chun asked, "Within ten days, after Your Majesty's anger is gone, is there still a chance to save it?"
This way of questioning shows that Liu Chun no longer feels suitable to argue with the emperor about the big gifts, and now the focus is on how to rescue those detained officials, which is actually very similar to Xi Shu's view, after all, they are not members of the Protector faction.
Zhu Hao shook his head and said, "It depends on what angle you start from, if you just suffer from the rod, you may be killed, it is true. But even if Your Majesty calms down and stops reprimanding the cane, most of them will be demoted and assigned, and the result will still not be good."
Even if they are not beaten, they will be confiscated to the border or exiled to the place, and the political career of this group of people will either end completely, and even if it is not over, it will be greatly reduced, and it will be difficult to become the backbone of the imperial court in the future.
"Alas!"
Liu Chun sighed faintly.
Zhu Hao said: "In the past few days, I will try to persuade you, but I dare not guarantee the result. Liu Ge Lao should go back early, there are too many people who want to ask your opinion, and if you stay with me for a long time, others will inevitably think more!"
"Hmm."
Liu Chun went to Fei Hong's side again-----
······· Tang Yin's mansion.
On this day, Tang Yin did not go to attend the court meeting, and there were a lot of people who came to visit his house that day, basically all relatives and friends of the people who were detained by the Yamen of the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, or family members, who came to Tang Yin to dredge up the relationship.
is also because Tang Yin is usually too "approachable", even if he becomes a bachelor of Hanlin, he still looks like a hanger, plus Tang Yin is the emperor's teacher, others will think that Tang Yin has the opportunity to get his friends and relatives out of the edict.
The Tang Mansion was full of people, but Tang Yin didn't see anyone.
Because Tang Yin doesn't know how this matter will develop in the future.
"Master, there are so many people gathered outside, and they won't disperse, you see····· Tang Yin's little wife came over to inquire.
At this time, the little wife's belly was already faintly bulging.
Tang Yin's "efforts" in the past few months have finally paid off.
