Chapter 380: Uproar
And when the news reached the ears of the landlords and rich people across the country, the reaction was even greater, the officials still have a fortune, and those who have rights still have some extra income, what do the landlords rely on? You make money from these lands, and your taxes are so high that you want me to lose money? This has never happened in a dynasty, so there have been turmoil in many places, and many landlords have gone to the government to make trouble.
Of course, the scale of the landlord's troubles is very small, after all, how many landlords can there be in a place?
But even so, it has also set off a lot of turmoil, and the officials who have a lot of property in the family have united to launch a new wave of impeachment against Chu Fan, of course, it is still the same as the old ten, after all, after Chu Fan was demoted from the capital, he faded out of everyone's sight for so long, and he really couldn't find any new evidence of the crime.
However, an impeachment of Zhang Sixiu caused an uproar.
Zhang Sixiu participated in the palace examination in the fifth year of Wanli, Wanli was only fifteen years old at the time, and he was having fun every day, all things were handled by Zhang Juzheng, and his son took the college entrance examination and won the second place in the country, which is more or less nepotistic. But Zhang Juzheng is not only a good civil servant, but also a good teacher, you look at the Wanli he taught, you know how good his level is, then his own son, naturally also deeply influenced by his teachings, the test is not an accident, after all, the dragon gives birth to the dragon and the phoenix, and the son of the mouse will make holes, this is the basic understanding of the ancients about this world, so for so many years, everyone has not doubted anything, even in the campaign to bring down Zhang Juzheng launched by Wanli after Zhang Juzheng's death, Zhang Sixiu and his brother were arrested, No one has ever been impeached about it.
But this time, maybe there is too much land in the eldest brother's house, Chu Fan has pitted people too much, and he wanted to break his head, so he came up with such a thing to impeach Zhang Sixiu, of course, that is, to impeach Chu Fan and Hubu.
The person who was impeached was Yu Shi Ding Chu, and the content of the impeachment was: Zhang Sixiu cheated in the imperial examination.
The article details how Zhang Juzheng gave him the back door when he took the exam that year, and took care of him with various relationships, but Zhang Sixiu was purely uneducated and didn't understand anything, so he relied on this to be a role model.
It stands to reason that this is an impeachment without nutrition, what age is Zhang Sixiu's list, Wanli is so big now, it is purely impeachment for the sake of impeachment, and its purpose is directly aimed at Chu Fan's reform.
It stands to reason that the emperor will definitely ignore this kind of impeachment that is clearly provocative to Chu Fan, and there is nothing to do.
But this letter annoyed two people.
The first person who provoked Mao was Wanli himself, because Ding Yushi scolded Zhang Sixiu for being uneducated in the song, it stands to reason that you said that Zhang Sixiu is not capable of cultivating enough, Yunyun, I guess Wanli is not popular, but you say that he is uneducated? Have you forgotten whose son he is? Zhang Juzheng's son, so whose student is Wanli? Zhang Juzheng's student, you scolded Zhang Sixiu for being uneducated, wouldn't it be the same Wanli who followed Zhang Juzheng to learn culture and had no culture? After all, can the same teacher teach students who are very different?
The second person who provoked Mao was the first assistant Shen Shixing, and the reason was simpler, because Shen Shixing was the chief examiner who admitted Zhang Sixiu that year, you said that Zhang Sixiu was cheating on the relationship, so Shen Shixing was that relationship? He's the one who helps cheat?
Not to mention the efficiency of the old partner's cooperation, in less than three days, it was drafted by the cabinet, and the documents to punish the issue of random impeachment were distributed to all ministries, and Shen Shixing personally drafted the scolding documents, and the emperor Zhu approved it, and scolded the old man Ding, and by the way, he was demoted to a foreign place, which was counted as a punishment.
But no one expected that this letter would be the beginning of this great impeachment.
The Ming Dynasty's speech officials have always had the spirit of not being afraid of death, and, in the eyes of that group of corrupt Confucians, it is an honor to be degraded, and it is a proof and encouragement for being a sour showman, adhering to principles, and sticking to his position. Moreover, speech officials generally do not fight alone, and basically have a group of speech officials behind them.
Immediately afterwards, the three well-known officials of the Wanli Dynasty issued a move at the same time. Li Zhi, Jiang Dongzhi, and Yang Keli can be described as the three major cannon barrels, and the emperor has basically relied on them to clean up people over the years. These three are all Jinshi of Wanli for three years, and later they are colleagues, and they are also officials, what is more interesting is that they are still fellow villagers, their families are landlords, and their hometowns have large grain fields, and they heard that Chu Fan was going to force their family to sell their land, and they immediately united, first impeached Chu Fan for those old accounts, Wanli ignored them, and then instigated Old Man Ding to impeach Zhang Sixiu for fraud, and the emperor scolded Old Man Ding, these three can be described as persistent, not only did not restrain themselves, but also continued to make trouble
But this time, the three of them found a breakthrough again.
Some time ago, the construction of the Beijing Heaven and Earth Complex was started, after laying the foundation and the three-story frame, the emperor went to visit in person, and was very interested in this new form of architecture, after a detailed understanding of the construction process and construction cost, he applauded, and the smart Wanli immediately thought of a new use of this craft ~ repair the mausoleum.
Due to the short lifespan of ancient people, and many diseases cannot be treated, they may suddenly get sick one day and kick their legs, so as the emperor, they must prepare for their own aftermath as early as possible. If the descendants of the future generations are unfilial sons and bury me on any hill casually, won't I be an emperor in vain?
It is that Wanli has always wanted to build the mausoleum, the emperor's mausoleum must be durable, luxurious and beautiful, and it can't make do with it, after all, the palace on the ground will live for decades at most, and the underground can live for hundreds of thousands of years.
But in the past few years, I have been poor, and I have to buy stones from other places and spend a lot of manpower to pile them up, so this matter has been put on hold.
On this day, when he saw with his own eyes that such a hard and beautiful high-rise building could be built so easily, he immediately became interested and asked Chu Fan to build him a large underground villa to prepare for kicking his legs in the future.
Chu Fanxin said that he hadn't made money yet, so your old man hurried to spend the money? Build it, build it, it's the emperor's own money anyway. So he took people to see the site and arranged to start digging the foundation.
As a result, two large stones were dug out of the ground.
In fact, this was not a big deal, but this matter was known to the three iron mouths, which made a few people excited, and finally found the handle.
So he immediately played a sloppy game, impeaching Chu Fan for not choosing a good place, and said a lot of things, which probably means: Chu Fan deliberately chose a piece of rotten land, and the emperor will not be able to sleep here in the future, and the emperor will not be able to die well if he dies.
Actually, Chu Fan felt that this was not a thing, and it would be over if the stone was taken away, but in the era of the Ming Dynasty, it was indeed a big deal, if you were to go online, you wouldn't be able to eat and walk around.
Moreover, in the recital, Chu Fan's great disrespect to the emperor, ill-intentioned, and unsightly purposes were counted, and so on, and the recital was thirty pages long, sprinkled with joy.
handed over a wonderful letter of complaint, and the three of them quietly waited for Chu Fan to step down, and the next day, they received the emperor's Zhu approval.
"Chu Naiwen, how can you blame and be worthy of public opinion?"
It means that Chu Fan is an official, not a fortune teller, do you blame him for this?
Immediately afterwards, Wanli also fined the three of them for half a year.
The three of them were stunned by this treatment.
No, shouldn't it be this routine? Even if the emperor treats Chu Fan again, he will choose your old man's grave badly, when did you talk so well, emperor?
Therefore, how important is investigation and research, they don't know at all that although this land was chosen by Chu Fan, it was actually chosen by Wanli himself.
The emperor easily chose a treasure land for himself, and was scolded by the three of you for being useless, worthless, and a mess. If you are not punished, who will be punished?
If you say, the three sluts of the official will shut up and be honest. Then you must be underestimating the Ming Dynasty's officials! In terms of scolding people and finding trouble, the speaker is definitely professional.
If scolding has a realm, honest people belong to bronze, ordinary people are platinum, shrews are gold, and Yanguan is the strongest king.
They not only regard scolding as a career, but also as the greatest pursuit in life. When the three were punished, they chose to continue scolding, and they changed their scolding to a higher level.
In recent months, the Wanli Emperor has begun to have a bad time going to court.
But Wanli didn't say that he didn't care about work at all, he just deliberately avoided everyone, why? Only Chu Fan knows this, because Chu Fan's various new policies are being introduced, as long as he goes to court, the ministries will either question Chu Fan or question the new policies, which will give Wanli a headache. Since you're endless, it's okay for me to hide, right?
So, Li Wei, the boss of the three, wrote another letter on the grounds that the emperor had not been working well recently.
In fact, in the Ming Dynasty, it is not a big deal to criticize the emperor, under normal circumstances, scolding the emperor, proving that you are high, proving that you are a pure person, although it is possible to be scolded by the emperor, but generally at most it is a fine, and it will not be good, and you can also gain a good reputation, beautiful name, bluntly recommended.
But this benevolent brother is likely to have taken the wrong medicine, and a note that is better than the last time he scolded the grave was placed on Wanli's table.
Because Wanli usually deserts and doesn't go to work, he generally says that he is sick and that he is dizzy. As a result, this scolding professional player took the emperor's dizziness as the theme, and came to a heart-wrenching insult.
The full text is like this: Your Majesty is in the prime of spring and autumn, his spirit is strong, and he is dizzy and black, which is not suitable for today.
Meaning, Your Majesty, at your age, you should be in good health, how can you be dizzy? It shouldn't be.
Seeing this, Wanli didn't bother to look at it, it was nothing more than saying that he was not good at work, and he had seen a lot of this kind of music recently, but he still couldn't hold back when he was about to do it, and looked down, it didn't matter if he looked at it, a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out, because the content behind it was very exciting.
I saw that it was written later: With the current entertainment of the banquet, and forgetting the art of protecting one's body, it is also a deep trouble.
Entertainment at the Banquet: It's that kind of entertainment.
An emperor, a little dizzy, and then didn't go to work for a few days. was said by a speech official on a letter that can be seen by the entire cabinet and some departments: Emperor, you are dizzy because you have caused too much trouble, and you can't go on like this.
Crazy, Wanli is completely crazy: "Call me Shen Shixing!" ”
The panicked Shoufu Shen Shixing, as soon as he entered the door, he heard the emperor scolding, yes, the rabbit is in a hurry and bites, not to mention the lord of the world, the emperor.
I only heard Wanli scolding in a voice that he could hear for a mile around: "Li is worth this, he is simply a madman, I am the entertainment of the banquet, is he on the side?" Who gave him the courage to be so arrogant? Shen Shixing, the intention is to pull him to the noon gate to hit the sixty boards, and fight with his heart! ”
Shen Shixing, who received the order, really made a difficulty.
Throughout the Ming Dynasty, although there were cases where officials were beaten for swearing, it was very rare. And it's sixty boards, play with heart? This is Li Zhi's life, if this is really killed, the world's officials know that it is their own will, and they still scold Shen Shixing into a piece of shit?
However, you still have to carry out the emperor's orders.
Shen Shixing, is famous for his ability and mud, in the past against Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng, Feng Bao, Zhang Siwei and other famous bigwigs, steadily survived to the current first assistant, mixed skills can be seen. The gangster quickly came up with a way to get the best of both worlds.
On the one hand, he drafted a decree for the emperor to severely punish Li Zhi and beat him with sixty rods, and on the other hand, in the name of the cabinet, he drafted a recital, asking the emperor to forgive Li Zhi and calculate the penalty.
Shen Shixing, who was beautiful, took two documents to ask Wanli for instructions, and was almost beaten out of the study by the emperor with a feather duster.
The emperor is also a human being, and the emperor also wants face, and everyone else scolds me like this, are you still playing duplicity here?
Okay, you're with the mud, aren't you? "Come on, call Chu Fan to me."
These three sluts that you Chu Fan provoked, then you will deal with them.
Obviously, Chu Fan didn't know that the emperor was very unhappy today, and as soon as he pushed the door in, he reported to Wanli: "Qi Shengshang, the main body of the comprehensive hall has been completed, and the new stock issuance policy has been prepared, soon."
It's time to sell shares. ”
The emperor didn't care about this matter at all today, and scolded, "I now order you to be the second assistant of the cabinet, the person you provoke, do it yourself, the sixty boards must be beaten, fight with your heart, if you also play tricks on me, the noon gate will not be bad for you Chu Fan's position!"
After figuring out what happened, Chu Fan also understood his situation, the emperor was forcing himself to completely turn his face with the world's officials.
Flip it over, he's been impeached countless times anyway, whatever!
Soon, the holy decree to punish Li Zhi was issued, and Chu Fan drafted it.
The next day, Li Zhi was escorted to the noon gate and hit 60 boards, but fortunately, no one died.
It's not that he is in good health, nor that he is lucky, but Chu Fan also played a two-faced role, on the one hand, he planned to beat Li Wei's ass, and on the other hand, he spent money to let Jinyiwei beat him gently, but the emperor didn't know.
After all, if you offend the Yanguan again, I don't know what earth-shattering things they will do.
In order to save the emperor's face, Chu Fan also came up with ingenuity, and in the name of the cabinet, he drafted another letter to the effect of: Your Majesty, you have not looked good lately and your body is weak, we guess you must be too tired from work, often work overtime at night, and do it yourself, and I hope you don't work too hard, recover well, and go to work seriously.
I don't know that I often work overtime at night, and I do it myself. This sentence is not a pun deliberately by Chu Fan. In short, the emperor's face was saved.
The emperor summoned Chu Fan and said that he understood his hard work and would definitely pay attention to it in the future.
And this letter was announced to the hundred officials.
Finally passed the emperor's level.
However, although Li Zhi was not killed, the officials still made another earth-shattering and weeping ghostly event.
With Li Zhi being spanked, all the speech officials were angry, and under the anger of the masses, they wrote notes to the emperor one by one, all of them interceded for Li Value and rehabilitated them, and Wanli did not approve them all, and threw them all to Chu Fan.
Chu Fan looked at the tall music of one person, and his tears were about to fall, Your Majesty, the shares of the royal company will be issued soon, and I am almost too busy to die, you still put me here, and roast me with a fire.
And the biggest problem, no matter how you give these instructions, the emperor doesn't write a word, just wait for you Chu Fan to write instructions, he only draws a red circle.
And the biggest and biggest problem, Chu Fan's instructions can only mention one meaning: not allowed. Because once any of them are approved, it is equivalent to admitting that the emperor "loves a certain aspect of entertainment." "It's true.
There's no way, just bite the bullet and criticize it. Rejected all the notes. And they all punished him.
As a result, there was a speech official who completely broke out.
A shocking article, crying ghosts and gods, no ancients before, no one after the future has come out.
The author is Yu Yuren, his father is called Yu Zun, this father and son have had an idol since they entered the Shi - Hai Rui.
As we all know, Hai Rui is a model of contemporary officials, needless to say, even if he has been demoted countless times, he still has not stopped scolding, from the emperor to the county officials, which one is not happy to scold, until modern times, Hai Rui is still synonymous with honesty and integrity, praised by others. The father and son not only worship idols, but also follow idols, worship under Hai Rui, and would rather be a poor bastard than insist on a clean and upright atmosphere. Because of his high prestige in the court, he was a staunch follower of Hai Jui after his death, and he was also the idol of the court officials.
Since he is Hai Rui's apprentice, of course he will not disappoint the master, and this piece of music is as good as Mr. Hai's scolding level.
The name of the song is "wine color wealth and sparseness." When Wanli saw this name, he had already guessed what he was going to say, but what he didn't expect was that the dry goods in it were too exciting.
The full text is as follows:
"Wine Proverbs": Delay the tiller, never give up, the mind is confused, and the prestige is lacking. Shen Yu Shuyi, Xia Zhi is prosperous. Enter the medicine Your Majesty, don't make vinegar.
"Lust": Yan Bi Enchanting Queen, sleeping on the side, enlightening and insulting. Fight for beauty and mislead the country. The soup is not far away, and you enjoy longevity. Your Majesty in medicine, don't be thick inside.
"Wealth": Compete for each other's gongs and shackles, the baht must be exhausted, the public funds are profitable, and the private family is overhanged. Wusan Lutai, eight hundred to the heart; Sui Yang stripped profits, and the destiny was difficult to clear. Your Majesty of Medicine, do not invade with a loan or bribe. "Qi Zhen": Anger and anger, arbitrariness, law and discipline, and political fairness. Yu Shun is gentle and respectful, and auspicious; The Qin Emperor was violent, and the crowd resented Kong Zhang. Your Majesty, don't hide old grudges.
The emperor's illness is also due to wine and wealth. If the husband indulges in alcohol, he will ruin his stomach, if he is lustful, he will consume sperm, if he is greedy for money, he will lose his mind, and if he is still angry, he will damage his liver.
