Chapter 16: Wang Zhen's Performance
Sure enough, even if a courtier stood up:
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Chen Guogong has done is really a policy for the benefit of the country. Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and he can't help but lack energy, and the cabinet is an auxiliary government, which is understandable, only small people will cause more trouble! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, this is clearly an attack on Chen Guogong, and the minister doesn't know what this person's intentions are!"
"Your Majesty, the minister impeached the imperial historian Li Ping for accepting bribes amounting to hundreds of taels!"
Subsequently, more and more courtiers stood up in solidarity, until in the end, almost a thousand people pointed out!
Of course, they never mentioned that they violated the ancestral system. After all, there are some things that everyone knows by heart, and if this thing is entangled, everyone will have to drink a pot. You must know that in the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were a lot of things that violated the ancestral system, and everyone tacitly agreed that they didn't see it.
So the core of the problem was silently ignored by everyone, and everyone spoke in unison and began to criticize the official.
And they didn't mention the issue of this official's words, after all, the imperial history has the power to hear about things, and this can't bring him down, so they directly impeach the rest of this official's words.
Charges of embezzlement, misconduct, and so on have all come out.
Some people even reported that this person often went to Goolan to inspect the work, which seriously ruined the reputation of the imperial court!
I don't know, I thought that the one standing in the center of the court at this time was a traitor who did all kinds of evil!
Damn, what am I doing with all this fuss! At this time, regret has filled Li Ping's heart, if he can do it again, he will not be impeached.
It's a pity it's too late.
A sneer crossed the corner of Yan Keng's mouth, he pretended to know about this for the first time, his face showed shock, and he said loudly:
"Your Majesty, the minister only knows today that the Imperial History Li Ping is so reckless and lawless! Please strip him of his position and go to prison for questioning! ”
The courtiers had a leader, and immediately said in unison:
"Please strip His Majesty of his position and go to prison for questioning!"
And Li Ping was already paralyzed on the ground at this time.
That's a prison...... He only felt that his life had lost its luster after that, offended Chen Guogong, and he didn't even know if he could come out alive.
But this is also deserved, the imperial historian can hear about it, he doesn't know how many people's reputation has been ruined over the years, how many innocent people have been punished by the emperor, and at this time it is also a report and a report.
And Zhu Qizhen saw that his teacher said so, so he naturally would not object, his little hand made a slight move, and Jin Yiwei immediately stepped forward and dragged the muddy Li Ping down.
When Li Ping was dragged away, seeing that the matter had been concluded, Yang Shiqi stood up and said a few official words to ease the atmosphere:
"What Yushi Li commented on is nonsense, and it is also the right thing to end up in the end. However, his last sentence should also remind His Majesty not to indulge in pleasure and waste political affairs. ”
The old ministers of the three dynasties, saying this, of course, are not a problem at all, and it can be regarded as a little persuasion from the elders.
However, as soon as Yang Shiqi's words fell, an unexpected person rushed out from the emperor's side.
"What Elder Yang Ge said is extremely true, Your Majesty has a lot of fun on weekdays, abandoning his studies and wasting his years. The slave and maid implore Your Majesty not to be greedy for fun anymore, to be diligent in government affairs, to study more with Chen Guogong and all the attendants, and to be a holy lord and a king, so as to live up to the expectations of the emperor and the assistance of the ministers! ”
The man's voice was sharp and thin, and he wore a costume that was very different from that of the ministers.
If you look closely, this is clearly a eunuch, or everyone knows him.
Isn't this the personal servant of the orthodox emperor, the Wang Zhen who accompanies him every day when he goes to court!
Everyone is wondering, how could this Wang Zhen come out to speak at this time, according to reason, the court is not the place where this eunuch should speak, but what he said is in line with the wishes of the ministers, naturally no one will refute it now.
And this move made the ministers have a good impression of this eunuch, and Sanyang was even more satisfied with his words, touching his beard, and secretly muttering in his heart, feeling that this is a rare sensible person among the eunuchs.
When Zhu Qizhen saw him come out, he showed a somewhat flustered look, he actually stood up from his seat, but then he seemed to sense that something was wrong, sat back again, and replied weakly:
"I see."
……
A simple action, but it aroused Yan Keng's vigilance.
Zhu Qizhen's knee-jerk reaction reflects the particularity of this Wang Zhen.
Seeing Wang Zhen actually stand up? Ordinary emperors, even if they were friendly and close to the eunuchs, would not have such a reaction.
There must be a problem.
It is not permissible for Yan Keng not to pay attention, you must know that this person is the person who grew up with the king, and then the power after that must not be thought about.
Ma He was Zhu Di's personal attendant back then, and later his power did not need to be said, the entire Western Fleet, such a huge and even annihilating military force was fully responsible for him.
He immediately called up the relevant information of this person, and unexpectedly, Wang Zhen's reputation in the palace was very good.
At that time, Xuanzong opened an inner study hall to teach the eunuchs to read, but unfortunately, the palace was full of illiterates, so he had to recruit people from outside.
Wang Zhentang, an instructor of official learning, was at that time when the chickens flew and the eggs were beaten, and he resolutely entered the palace, as a lecturer in the inner study hall, of course he had a good reputation, and even Zhu Zhanji was quite favored by this educated eunuch.
This point aroused Yan Keng's vigilance.
The official instructor, although he is not a big official, at least he has no shortage of food and clothing.
In this case, this person actually voluntarily entered the palace and became a eunuch who was the least popular with scholars?
This doesn't make sense.
You must know that those who become eunuchs are basically forced to a dead end, with the importance that Chinese attach to the succession of ancestors, who would be willing to wield a sword!
There is only one explanation, and the picture, is great!
Then the court advised Zhu Qizhen to study hard and not to waste his studies, which has to be considered.
If that's all there is to it, that's it.
He also learned from other eunuchs in the palace that Zhu Qizhen called Wang Zhen every day, and he would change his title only in front of the Empress Dowager and himself.
This made him have a bad premonition.
Let's not talk about why Wang Zhen wants Zhu Qizhen to make two sets of titles, just this "sir" is problematic.
The emperor can be a friendship like a playmate for a eunuch, or a family member, but only not respect.
Because this often means that the eunuchs are dictatorial and chaotic.
And this Wang Zhen, he is also the first teacher of Xiao Zhu Qizhen.
Although Yan Keng is the crown prince and the prince, it is impossible for him to teach Zhu Qizhen from one stroke at a time.
Xiao Zhu Qizhen's enlightenment actually started from Wang Zhen, after all, he was the one with the highest level of education in the palace at that time.
Wang Zhen is also a very strict teacher, compared with the warm feelings between him and Yan Keng, Zhu Qizhen is actually a little in awe of Wang Zhen.
After all, he has been in charge of him since he was a child, and Zhu Qizhen's age is so young that he is far from being able to realize his identity and status, and he doesn't understand that in fact, a eunuch should not have such power at all.
So this led to the fact that since childhood, Zhu Qizhen and Wang Zhen have cultivated a feeling of "respect", and even continued until adulthood, becoming "Weng Father".
An emperor calls his slaves and maids Urn Father, which is absurd at the same time, but it can also be seen that Wang Zhen's "success" in Zhu Qizhen's education.
Although Yan Keng didn't know these things, he knew that he couldn't let such a eunuch exist.
