Of course, the establishment of the Dengwen drum has a certain positive significance, but if you want to reach the sky through the Dengwen drum, there are also many restrictions, and not everything can be casually come here to sue the emperor.

If you don't meet the conditions and come to beat the drum, you will be severely punished.

For example, civil cases such as marriage, land, and fights are not accepted here.

Another example is that the original case is only allowed to be filed in Dengwengu after the state and county yamen do not accept it.

Just now, Lin Daguan deliberately ran around and went to the county government of Wanping County in the north of the city to file a complaint, but was rejected by the county government to meet this condition.

According to the current system, the case is sent to the emperor the next morning, and then it is generally handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

After beating the drum and handing over the handwritten form, Lin Daguan returned to Wang's house and then did not come out.

As a result, today, the entire Beijing officialdom was fried, and many officials traveled several miles to see the scenery outside the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The general excitement may cause hundreds of people to gather to watch, but today outside the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, hundreds of officials are gathered, and the last court has not been so active.

Zuodu Yu Shi Xin self-cultivation grabbed the chest of Li Rusong, the governor of the patrol camp, in public, and scolded.

Li Rusong explained again and again: "That Lin Tailai has already fled into the mansion of the Household King Shaositu, according to the rules, without the holy decree, it is not good for us to break in and take people!" ”

The next day was the day of the feast, but the Wanli Emperor preferred to listen to the minister's performance rather than attend class.

Emperor Wanli arrived at the Wenhua Hall in the morning, and after sitting on the throne again, he glanced at the hall, and felt that the number of ministers in the Wenhua Hall today was slightly more than usual.

Generally, the prelude to the Wenhua Palace, the cabinet, ministries, the governor's office and other core ministers are always present, and most of the other ministers come when they have something to do.

Judging from the number of people today, it should be that something has happened, and most of the extra people are officials.

In this regard, Emperor Wanli only wanted to say, I hope these people are not here to show off Yan Jin's advice.

Zuo Du Yu Shi Xin prelude to self-cultivation and said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate was ordered to inspect the martial arts examination room, and yesterday summoned relevant personnel for questioning.

However, some people openly resisted arrest, beat dozens of guards in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and broke down the door to escape, which is really appalling! ”

From the tone of his voice, you can hear how angry Xin Zongxian is, if it weren't for the crime of misdemeanor in front of the king, I am afraid that he would have already started to scold the street.

"Hey, hey!" Suddenly, a chuckle came from the throne.

Xin Zongxian: "."

As an emperor who has been professionally trained since childhood, he can generally be moody and moody, unless he can't help it.

Unexpectedly, the Metropolitan Inspection Institute, known as the hornet's nest, was actually stabbed in this way.

Seeing the Zuodu Imperial History, whose emotional management was about to get out of control, Emperor Wanli hurriedly went back to make up for it: "I just thought that this person must be Lin Tailai?" ”

Xin Zongxian felt that he was speechless, and said in a muffled voice: "Fang Wanshan, the head of the imperial history, was ordered to inspect the examination room and investigate Lin Tailai's illegal affairs, and Fang Wanshan could report it." ”

In recent years, this mode of political struggle has become popular, and the bigwigs often do not speak directly, leaving their own imperial historians responsible for firing cannons. Of course, water is impermanent, and the situation varies.

Fang Yushi came out from behind and said: "The ministers have found out that Lin Tailai was favored in the examination room, and Zheng Guotai suffered injustice

That Lin Tailai was extremely vicious, often violated the ban by force, repeatedly wantonly abused, and corrupted discipline everywhere, and is still at large. ”

Ministers with a little experience can hear that Fang Yushi deliberately emphasized Zheng Guotai, and he was definitely cautious, wanting to use this to guide the emperor's emotions.

Fang Yushi didn't care about being seen by others, the main thing was to induce the emperor to "help his relatives and not help him".

Besides, Zheng Guotai has no evil deeds now, and if he stands on a fair position to help Zheng Guotai say a few words, it will not cause any public opinion backlash.

Hearing the word "at large", Emperor Wanli asked rhetorically: "Why don't you take people?" ”

Fang Yushi was overjoyed, waiting for this sentence, and quickly played: "Lin Tailai hid in the house of the left servant of the household department and the governor of Taicang Wangzhiyuan, and was protected by him.

Li Rusong, the governor of the previous patrol camp, came to ask for people twice, but Wang Zhiyuan refused to hand over people. ”

Emperor Wanli looked at Shoufu in surprise, "Isn't Lin Tailai Mr. Shen's disciple?" ”

Shen Shixing said: "Lin Tailai has left the Shen family for the sake of the Wang family's daughter. ”

Emperor Wanli was speechless, your circle was really chaotic, and he asked Zhang Jiayin, the secretary of the military department: "The imperial history said that Zheng Guotai suffered injustice, what does the military department that presided over the military test think?" ”

Zhang Jiayin was also angry, if the Son of Heaven finally listened to the report of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and judged that the examination room was unfair, then he, the nominal examiner, would be responsible for this!

You Qingliu forces want to compete for the position of the head of the household, and use Lin Tai to get Wang Zhiyuan, which is understandable, but what does it mean to drag him Zhang Jiayin into the water?

Do you still want to hug the grass and beat the rabbit, and then fight for a military department book by the way?

With such a big appetite, I'm not afraid to eat anymore!

Therefore, Zhang Jiayin said angrily: "It is unbelievable that a foreign imperial historian directly interferes with the examination only based on subjective suspicion and instructs the examiner on how to evaluate the grade!"

Could it be that in the liberal arts examination room, a royal history can break into the Tribute Academy and directly instruct the examiner how to judge the papers? ”

Fang Yushi was also very helpless, in fact, he didn't mean to target Zhang Jiayin.

But in order to clean up Lin Tailai and use Zheng Guotai to guide the emotions of the Son of Heaven, he had to move out of the statement that "Zheng Guotai was unfair in the examination room".

He also explained to the Son of Heaven: "The unfairness of the examination room is not caused by the minister's inaction, but by the candidates and the head of the counselor's assessment who are clamoring together, and the minister has to investigate."

At present, Lin Tailai's crime is clear, and the impact is extremely bad! It is reasonable to cut through the chaos quickly, ask questions with the momentum of thunder, and quickly calm down the turmoil of the martial arts! ”

If the Son of Heaven personally ordered to take people, it would be dispatched by the Jinyi Guard Official Academy to commit the "edict" against Qin.

Unless you want to rebel, no one in Daming dares to openly resist, and Lin Tailai can't either!

In the court, Lin Tailai knew two bigwigs, Wang Zhiyuan was still at home behind closed doors, and only Shoufu Shen Shixing was standing here.

At this time, everyone subconsciously looked at Shen Shoufu, and it stands to reason that Shen Shoufu should come out to intercede.

But what is surprising is that Shen Shoufu looks at his nose and nose and heart, like a sculpture without saying a word.

Everyone's first reaction was, did Lin Tailai really become the abandoned son of Shoufu?

Lin Tailai has caused too much trouble, Shoufu can't bear it anymore?

When the monarch and the ministers played the right game, the pattern was like this, the nearest minister on the left hand of the Son of Heaven was a cabinet scholar, and the nearest military minister on the right hand of the Son of Heaven was a Jinyi Guard.

At this time, someone from the brocade guard stood up and said in a somewhat helpless tone: "Lin Tailai knocked on the drum yesterday and sounded his grievances. ”

Originally, such a as hearing about the drum was usually put at the end of the monarch and minister's court meeting.

But today, the Metropolitan Procuratorate came up and bit Lin Tailai, looking at the situation, if he didn't come out to report that Lin Tailai was beating the drum, it would affect the emperor's judgment.

According to the system, the emperor should know the content of the drums and grievances. At this time, when he heard Lin Tailai beating the drum and shouting grievances, he asked the Jinyi guard to read the pleadings.

At all times, it is a basic principle of adjudication that both the plaintiff and the defendant should listen to their arguments.

The brocade-clothed guard officer held the form submitted by Lin Tailai, and read it expressionlessly:

"Chen Lin Tailai wept blood and sued, Chen Ben cloth, ploughed in Gusu, Gou Quan. Ah no, growing under the emperor's grace and bathing in the spring breeze. ”

Everyone can only say that these two sentences are a little interesting, but they don't seem to be written by a nineteen-year-old young man.

The Jinyi guard officer continued to read: "In the past eighteen years, I have learned literary and martial arts, and I want to serve the country in this way, and I can glorify my ancestors in the next place.

Recently, he rushed to Beijing to participate in the martial arts test, but unexpectedly competed with his uncle, and suddenly there were countless waves. ”

Hearing this, many ministers smiled contemptuously, this Lin Tailai is really a layman.

In folk sayings, it is true that the concubine's brother is often called the uncle, and at the same time, everyone often uses the uncle as the honorific title of the concubine's brother.

But that's all in private, and it doesn't conform to official etiquette. Only the brothers of the queen and the queen mother are officially recognized as national uncles.

In the official documents, it is really not elegant to use "national uncle" to call the brother of the concubine.

If Lin Tailai is an official, and this pleadings are a formal letter, Lin Tailai will be punished by virtue of this title.

It's not a joke, if there is a mistake in the recital to the emperor, it will really be punished, and the most serious can lead to dismissal.

The brocade guard officer doesn't care about anything else, but only acts as a tool to read the pleadings:

"The minister and the uncle of the country competed for the first place, the situation of the three games was very anxious, and when they couldn't hold each other, they didn't want the uncle to be expected by the public, so the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate stepped forward and supported the uncle to win the championship."

In the pleading, this mouthful of a national uncle is full of the smell of turtles, which really makes everyone speechless, but they can only listen first.

Otherwise, some people say that what is written by a layman is a poison point in the eyes of an insider.

However, Emperor Wanli and the ministers had a little different ideas, and this mouthful of a national uncle caused the emperor to be a little ethereal.

The Jinyi guard officer was still reading: "The minister is a small people in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has been a poor peasant for eight generations, and his family has four walls.

Now that he first encountered the confrontation of his uncle, and then encountered the suppression of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he had never seen such a world, and his heart trembled, and he was terrified all day long.

Anxiety all night, difficulty sleeping, tossing and turning, often cranky.

When the minister thought about it, the Metropolitan Procuratorate probably thought that Uncle Guo, as a royal prince, had no official position so far, which was very pitiful, and he should have been sealed. ”

Everyone only felt that the words were full of uninformed small peasant atmosphere, just like the conjecture of "the emperor's golden axe".

If you have a little life experience, you won't think that the Metropolitan Procuratorate will help Uncle Guo compete for the first place in the martial arts test because of poor Uncle Guo's lack of official status and position, right?

Are you here to liven up the atmosphere? Do you have all your talent in muscles?

If it weren't for standing in the Wenhua Palace, I would have laughed a lot!

Only Shen Shoufu lowered his head, clenched his teeth tightly, and his face kept twitching, as if he was desperately trying to control his emotions.

To this day, most people don't know who manipulated Shen Shoufu to kill Li Zhi and other Red People in seconds, and severely damaged the commander of Dongchang.

The Jinyi guard officer has almost read to the end: "In the face of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Uncle Guo, no one in the court can distinguish between the ministers, except for a brave body, the ministers really have nothing to rely on, and they feel lonely and helpless."

And because he is really unwilling to be bound by the hands of others, and he is not willing to be subordinate to his uncle, he can only hand himself over to His Majesty for punishment!

The minister pleases, Your Majesty must not listen to the will of the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, arbitrarily seal the uncle of the country, and block the steps of the world's martial artists!

If Your Majesty does not want to abolish the public for personal reasons, can you give the minister a chance to compete face-to-face with his uncle, so as to determine the first place in the martial arts test? ”

After listening to the pleading, most people feel that it is childish and ridiculous.

Still face to face to compete for the first place? What if this is a fight in the script?

At this time, the Wanli Emperor on the throne sighed: "This is the heart of a child!" ”

Everyone: "??? ”

What kind of brain circuit is the emperor? Who knows?

There are some ideas that have been brewing for months, and Emperor Wanli feels that he can finally take the opportunity to say it now, thanks to Lin Tailai for the guidance of the pleadings!

Then the emperor said to Xin Zixiu and Fang Wanshan: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate has the intention of safeguarding Zheng Guotai, I already know it, and it should indeed be sealed." ”

Xin Zixiu and Fang Wanshan looked at each other, what did the emperor mean?

After Emperor Wanli pondered for a moment, he spoke: "The Zheng family in the harem is meritorious, virtuous, virtuous, and virtuous, and has many good deeds, so he should be added as the imperial concubine."

Zheng's father was added as the governor of Tongzhi, and his brother Zheng Guotai was named the commander. ”

it! The ministers are all disgraced!

The emperor's words were like an earth-shattering thunderclap, exploding in the Wenhua Palace!

Who can stand here who doesn't understand etiquette?

The mother of the eldest son of the candidate for the crown prince is just an ordinary concubine, but the mother of the third son of the emperor, Zheng Shi, can transcend two levels and become the imperial concubine?

Such a reward is definitely reversed, but the emperor is not a fool who doesn't understand the world!

Therefore, the emperor's intentions are clearly exposed, that is, he ignores the eldest son of the emperor and wants to raise the third son of the emperor as the crown prince!

This is also a great violation of etiquette and is unacceptable!

Children know that the eldest son should be the one who inherits the family business!

In the face of the sudden situation, the ministers were still shocked, and Emperor Wanli said to Fang Wanshan:

"The officials have reminded me that they are not kind enough to the Zheng family."

Fang Yushi immediately sweated like rain, he knew that as long as he dared to say a word of approval, he would immediately explode on the spot!

The word etiquette and religion are as important as a thousand pounds in politics, and they are definitely not laughable!

After the ministers came to their senses, they immediately understood that the emperor was pretending to be stupid!

After the emperor listened to Lin Tailai's recital, he began to pretend to be stupid!

"Your Majesty! Don't be rewarded like this! Fang Wanshan knelt down and shouted, "How can the Zheng family be above the emperor's eldest son and biological mother? If you want to crown the Zheng family, please first crown the emperor's eldest son and biological mother! ”

Emperor Wanli's face changed instantly, a little cold, and then turned to Zuodu Yu Shi Xin to cultivate himself: "What do you think?" ”

Xin Zixiu took a deep breath and replied, "The minister thinks that it is not allowed to seal the Zheng clan without permission, so as not to disturb the discipline. ”

"Good." Emperor Wanli said lightly: "What are you saying about Zheng Guotai, it turns out that they are all hypocrites." ”

Following the thief and the three idiots, the water leaves, the new July is gone, hey, is writing history also a high-risk profession?
