Chapter 561: Traitor Yan Song
Li Mengyang is the prefect of the local government, this place is Huguang, and the current governor of Huguang is Xie Qian, and Xie Qian and Li Dongyang have a good relationship.
Therefore, Li Mengyang, the prefect, also left when the term expired, no one retained him, and no one was willing to stay.
I didn't make much progress in thinking about it, objectively speaking, Li Mengyang can't be blamed for this, after all, Huguang's problem is not something that can be solved by a prefect who has no foundation in the dynasty, and his literary names are actually not easy to use when it comes to the interests of real money.
However, the Ministry of Literature and Literature Selection Division will not care about what is objective or not, no achievements are no achievements, average ability, and no big guy recommendation, the best is to be level.
But Li Mengyang is different from ordinary people, after all, he is still a leader in the literary world, and if he is not guilty of a major crime, he will be sent to a remote area or a really ugly location, which will also cause some criticism.
The various arrangements of the Chinese people in the officialdom are always full of all kinds of exquisite calculations. In Li Mengyang's case, the final order of the Ministry of Officials was to order him to be appointed as the envoy of the Ministry of Affairs, and Huang Youzheng was appointed to the Ministry of Affairs.
The Department of General Political Envoys was created by Zhu Yuanzhang on the basis of the Department of Investigation and Speech in the tenth year of Hongwu, and its chief officer was the General Political Envoy, with three ranks, one person on the left and one on the left, and four ranks.
Its main responsibility is to hold the internal and external chapters of the seal, simply put, some of the music is handed to the emperor before the secretary, this is the place where the power is reflected.
The other is that the political envoys can participate in the court push.
Therefore, in the early Ming Dynasty, the status of the general envoy was very high.
But with the passage of time, basically since Xuande, the status of the general political envoy has declined all the way.
The reason is that the general government envoy is in charge of the Quartet, and according to the rules, before the concert enters the palace, it must be copied here. The reason for this is that one is to keep a copy and keep it for reference; The second is to classify them separately and present them one by one.
But in this way, the power of the envoy becomes very sensitive: if anyone wants some impeachment, the envoy will know first. Therefore, all kinds of bribery and drilling camps are endless, and they are intensifying.
After the status of the cabinet rises, this power will naturally be divided, and the eunuchs will be favored and will also be given the right to review, so the general political envoy will gradually become an ornament that can participate in the court push after Xuande, and sometimes, he is not as good as a six departments to give things.
But no matter what, he is one of the nine secretaries, and the general political envoy is also the 'first-class yamen' of the central government.
Li Mengyang entered such a place, if anyone thinks that a literary leader like the imperial court is unfair, then he can shut up, at least he does not depose him.
However, the post of Huang Youtong was newly established in the second year of Chenghua, and its main responsibility was to record the reasons for the military attache to post Huang and the official attack of the guard post in order to prepare for the election.
That's all.
Therefore, if you want to say that the officials promoted Li Mengyang in violation of regulations, you can also shut up.
And the grade is the same as the prefect, and it is the fourth grade.
It's just that it's been four years since Zhengde now, and it's all the same four products, what does such a four-grade Jingguan represent, needless to say.
Even so, when people like Jisi Liuzi gather together, they don't dare to openly belittle the transcription of Huang Youtong's politics on the surface.
Emperor Xianzong has his own reasons for setting up this position, you talk nonsense, and it is a headache to encounter people who are stunned and disrespect the first emperor to make a fuss.
So, so be it.
After Li Mengyang returned to Beijing, he took a short break and began to sit in the Yamen of the General Political Envoy Department.
After just sitting for two days, I heard my colleagues from all over the world mention the matter of the imperial court's election of eight ministers to inherit the Qin's order.
Li Mengyang had been away from Beijing for a long time, and he didn't understand the situation, so he asked: "Why is the candidate of the Eight Ministers?" ”
At present, the left and right general political envoys are Zhu Tieping and Xi Xian, they are all in their thirties, slightly smaller than Li Mengyang, in the situation that the general political envoys are not taken seriously, they are more salted fish mentality as deputies, so they are actually not very willing to offend everyone in the literary world like Li Mengyang.
Xi Xian said: "It is the order to clean up the remaining eight towns and military camps." ”
"Like Ningxia? This should be a good thing! ”
Li Mengyang didn't think too much about it, so he said it about such a sensitive matter.
Zhu Tieping smiled, "Where is this easy?" Ningxia Qingtun involved a king of Qing, as well as a king of Anhua of the king of Qing. Others such as King Su of Gansu Town, Acting King of Shanxi Town, and King of Liao of Liaodong Town...... What shall be done with all the land which these kings have obtained? ”
Xi Xian also said, "Among the eight towns, there is a difference between a vassal king and a non-vassal king, and in this case, there is a difference between difficulty and difficulty, which is responsible for the difficulty and which is responsible for the ease, His Majesty asked the cabinet to agree on the report, but for the cabinet, it is already extremely difficult. ”
Li Mengyang didn't understand what he heard, was the atmosphere above the court already like this?
Shouldn't this matter be a problem of the increasing use of the treasury and the increasing combat power of the border army after the liquidation of the military cantonment in the eight towns? Why is the focus biased?
After returning home, Li Mengyang always felt resentful in his heart, and it could be said that he couldn't sleep all night.
A few days later, he was going to start the book of the six sons, and Li Mengyang found Bian Gong first and spit out the truth in his heart.
Bian Gong was also stunned, he pounded the table and got up, "To have fellowship with Brother Tianci is to admire Brother Tianci's feelings for the country and the people. ”
"Good!" Li Mengyang's heart is happy, in the end, he is still a confidant, that is, he can urinate in a pot, "In this way, then I will write an article and write a chapter." The colleagues in the division are all saying that the king's land cannot be disposed of. I want to start from here, the Son of Heaven is virtuous, and severely punishes the traitorous eunuchs, for the sake of the people, the court is clear, and the vassal kings are in the same place, for the sake of the people. ”
Bian Gong felt that he could, "If it is only to sing praises of virtue, it will inevitably be suspected of whitewashing the peace, but when it comes to the court's business, it may be a view of the Son of Heaven, so it can be regarded as a good deed done by Brother Tianci!" ”
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was okay, Li Mengyang only felt that the article was already in front of him, and Bian Gong's sentence 'a view for the Son of Heaven' also made him think more, if it was really possible......
"Brother Tingshi, the period of Jisi's Sixth Son's Book is less than half a month, who have you invited?"
Speaking of this, Bian Gong was really proud, "Brother Tianci, you have to thank my brother this time." ”
"Oh?"
Bian Gong said: "Wei Ningbo, do you know Brother Tianci?" ”
"Is Wang Xiangmin the grandson of Gong Xiangmin?" Li Mengyang has not heard of that kind of loneliness, "Since Zhengde, the honorable and noble have misbehaved and repeatedly touched the holy wrath, but Wei Ningbo has sprung up, and most of them have been praised by the emperor. His talent is average, but his character is excellent. Although he is a nobleman, he treats others a few points better than his ancestors. ”
Bian Gong laughed helplessly, Wang Yue's conduct back then was a little arrogant, which made many literati not want to see him, and Li Mengyang still has to take a mouth.
"That's the man."
Li Mengyang didn't say anything proudly, but thought in his heart, then he had to write this article more shockingly worldly.
……
……
In the palace, Zhu Houzhao was also arranging people after learning the date of his six sons.
"Your Majesty wants the ministers to participate in this book of the six sons, that is, to ask the ministers to raise the bar?" The person who spoke looked surprised, completely incomprehensible.
The emperor snorted sullenly, "A little Li Mengyang, a fourth-grade official, can stir up the storm when he enters Beijing, I want you to suppress his arrogance." ”
Really?
This is not the end of the mind.
"Your Majesty's order is not difficult to do. It's just that Weichen really doesn't understand, isn't His Majesty's original intention to deal with the land of the vassal king? Why do you want to refute Li Mengyang? ”
"If you are told to go, you will go. What do you do with too many mouths? ”
The so-called controversy is to have a dispute before there is a discussion, if it is all hello, I am good, everyone, unanimously raised hands and voted through, then this matter will not make any waves.
It is precisely because of the kind of dispute that the face is red and the quarrel is so loud that the stars are flying all over the sky, and the main points of the dispute will be noticed and discussed.
But Yan Song didn't understand the emperor's intentions, and after being scolded, he had to respond honestly, "Yes." ”
He has a headache, and now the wind of the court is to deal with these vassal lands, but he has to 'obey' to protect those princes who are doing evil.
If he continues like this, won't he become a traitor?
