I'm really not doing business

Chapter 7

Tishuai Zhu Xixiao, who was in charge of supervising the assassination of the king, said: "The villain's name is Minister Wang, and his surname is Wang Zhanglong. He is from Wujin County, Changzhou, Nanzhili. His name is Wang Zhanglong, and at [-]:[-] o'clock yesterday, he entered the imperial city through the Xuanwu Gate, pretending to be an internal servant with a Caihuying badge."

After Zhang Juzheng heard about it, he asked, "Where did this person's servant and waist badge come from?"

"The self-report was provided by Chen Hong." Zhu Xixiao said this, and looked at Feng Bao, the governor of the East Factory. He has no control over the affairs of the palace.

Zhu Yijun was sitting on the platform, flipping through "Four Books Straight Explanation". Hearing Zhu Xixiao's words, he realized a problem. The reason why Minister Wang was able to sneak into the palace was entirely because of his interior clothes and his vegetable badge. .

This minister Wang has an identity.

In fact, it is not uncommon for outsiders to mix in this palace. This is a way for the eunuchs to make money. Some people are curious about what the imperial palace in the capital looks like, and are willing to pay to come in and see.

It's ridiculous to say that in the Ming Dynasty with strict etiquette, outsiders can get some money to enter this heavily guarded palace.

Who received the money?Naturally, the eunuchs took it away.

The eunuchs have nothing to do with them. Cutting people's money is like killing their parents. The eunuchs must investigate strictly. The eunuchs may not know how to deal with them.

Even the ministers took it for granted, but no one blamed it. It was the ineffective supervision of Ti Shuai Zhu Xixiao that led to the thieves entering the palace, because everyone was used to it.

Who hasn't mixed sand into the palace yet?

Jinyiwei and Dongchang were supposed to be two spy forces that check and balance each other, but because of Dongchang's overpowering, this ability to check and balance has been continuously weakened. Jinyiwei's power is too low and has become a vassal of Dongchang.

Zhu Yijun, a little butterfly, flapped its wings, and it already showed the effect.

Originally, Minister Wang's case was to be handed over to Dongchang for interrogation, but because of Zhu Yijun's remarks, Queen Mother Li handed over the case to Tiqi for interrogation.

According to the regulations, Dongchang had to open the palace gate at dawn before leaving the palace to handle the case, so the true identity of Minister Wang during the sutra feast this morning could not be ascertained.

Tiqi is outside Chengtianmen, there is the Yamen of Fusi in Beizhen. If you send a letter out, a few families will be punished, and the eighteen generations of the ancestors of Minister Wang will be clearly investigated.

At least it was confirmed that this man was not under the command of the Qi family army, but a servant of the capital.

The identity of an assassin is really, really important.

It's just that Tiqi's power is not obvious, it's not that he can't do bad things, can't do things.

Feng Bao's forehead was wrapped with starched gauze, and the old man with two swollen cheeks sat on the position of the eunuch in the palm of the chief of ceremonies, and said in a low voice: "Our family has a life-and-death enmity with Chen Hongnai, and Chen Hong was arrested yesterday. Chen Hong has already admitted that it was he who provided the interior clothes and the Caihuying waist badge, and that Teng Xiang, Meng Chong and others left the imperial city and made evil friends, so that this minister of the king was mixed into the palace, which led to this evil thing happening .”

"Fortunately, Your Majesty is fine."

"Is Your Majesty okay?" Yang Bo, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, flicked his sleeves, stared at Feng Bao, and asked, "The villain has been stabbed in the air. If he has not been stabbed in the air, so what? Your Majesty is still young, so how can you judge if you are frightened?" ? You are the internal minister, and you are responsible for all the affairs in the palace. If you let the bad guys into the palace, why are you still sitting here!"

Yang Bo, a Jinshi in the eighth year of Jiajing, first worked in the local area. In the 18th year of Jiajing, he accompanied the scholar Zhai Luan to tour the Nine Sides. In the 19th year of Jiajing, the Emperor Jiajing called Yang Bo into the palace to perform at night, which was appreciated by Jiajing. Since the 25th year of Jiajing, it has been patrolling the frontier.

In the 33rd year of Jiajing, Du'erhan and Dalaisun of the Tatars led more than 34 cavalry to plunder Jizhen. Yang Bo fought hard with Zhou Yichang, the commander in chief. , Repel the enemy, Jiajing [-] years, Yang Bo once again repelled the invading Baduer Khan.

Yang Boxun followed the frontier to Jiajing for 42 years. Because of the defeat of Yang Xuanbing, governor of Jiliao, he returned to the imperial court to serve as Minister of the Ministry of officials.

Yang Bo is the Prince's Shao Fu, a first-rank official, has experience in performing duties in the local area, and has military merits. He is really not afraid of Feng Bao, an eunuch, because he is the current leader of the Jin Party.

The Jin Party, a deep-rooted crony party entrenched in the imperial court.

Another unbreakable political alliance.

Ge Shouli, the imperial censor of Zuodu, immediately echoed and said: "Feng Bao! You are in charge of the palace, and His Majesty the Queen Mother has entrusted you with a heavy responsibility. Is that why you are so arrogant? Apart from arrogance and domineering, nothing but greed. Yinzi, what else can you do! Huanghuang's thoughts are in jeopardy!"

Zhu Yijun flipped through the Analects of Confucius in his hand, and occasionally picked up a pen to take notes. He studied very seriously, and the noise in the audience didn't seem to affect him.

Although Jiajing did not go to court, it does not mean that he did not participate in court discussions. The old Taoist priest always hid behind a heavy curtain, knocking a copper bell with a copper hammer, how many times he knocked, and the priority of the knocking. What he was expressing all depended on The courtiers took a hard guess.

Jiajing cultivated immortals in Wenhua Hall, and the little emperor studied in Wenhua Hall.

The little emperor is reading, and the courtiers are making noise under the platform. This style of painting is as weird as it is, but it is the result of many struggles.

In June of the sixth year of Longqing, less than a month after Emperor Longqing’s grand tour, Gao Gong, as Yuanfu, gave the Taoist Memorial. This memorial is lengthy, but there is a sentence in it: For those who criticize directly, Rong Chen and others will understand before they can implement it. ]
The meaning of this sentence is: if there is a memorial that has not been issued by the cabinet, and the emperor directly approves it, it is necessary for the courtiers to present it to the emperor and ask for clarification before it can be implemented.

Gao Gong not only said that a ten-year-old ruler cannot rule the world, but also gave specific restrictions. The emperor could not bypass Wenyuan Pavilion and write without authorization.

The emperor approved it internally without publishing it.

Only this sentence really touched the empress dowager Li's taboo.

Can the emperor use the word "Jizi" when reviewing memorials? !
Therefore, in order for the emperor to be in charge, the little emperor, who was supposed to study in the back room of the Wenhua Palace, was carried to the front hall, where he sat on the platform, reading and listening to courtiers quarreling.

The 27 courtiers soon got used to this way of court discussion.

Feng Bao was not at all timid at this time, he sneered, looked at Yang Bo and said, "Huh! Our family is sitting here, so naturally the Queen Mother and Your Majesty trust us, so we let our family come over to watch you! It's your turn to deal with matters in the palace." Until you interrupt!"

"You have to take care of things outside the palace! You have to take care of things inside the palace!"

"Do you want to take care of what His Majesty eats?"

This morning, while waiting outside Qianqing Palace, the little yellow gate next to the Empress Dowager sent a message to Feng Bao. The Empress Dowager meant that Feng Bao would not be allowed to participate in the Sutra Banquet, but in the end it was His Majesty who decided to let him follow.

Even though Feng Bao had gauze on his head, His Majesty let him get up.

His Majesty's words also made Feng Bao feel sorry for him. It turned out that his little tricks were all in His Majesty's eyes. His Majesty didn't know about it, but he was just too lazy to care about it. He even deliberately let him take charge of everything in the palace. He was smashed, his face was slapped, his head was kowtowed, and his power was given up, His Majesty let him get up.

That means that His Majesty still trusts him and lets him do things. He is still useful. He is naturally full of confidence. Behind him is the emperor. In this Wenhua palace meeting, he represents that the imperial power is tearing up with civil servants.

"Chen Hong confessed that Gao Gong, the former chief assistant of the cabinet, instructed him to act." Feng Bao threw out a sentence indifferently.

These words were extremely offensive, and the officials immediately fell silent. The Wenhua Hall was extremely quiet, only the sound of the little emperor flipping books on the platform and the big yellow curtain being blown by the wind.

Feng Bao is extremely qualified for biting people in this Wenhua Palace. Although he is injured, his attack power is still extremely strong. A few words blocked the officials from speaking, and even stabbed the knife into the hearts of the officials. superior.

Gao Gong, the former chief assistant of the cabinet, promoted a lot of Jin Dang when Gao Gong was in power, if Gao Gong was charged with the crime of conspiracy to assassinate the king, those Jin Dang promoted by Gao Gong would be in bad luck.

Everyone turned their attention to Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the cabinet, who was the first on the left. Before Emperor Longqing made his grand trip, he appointed three ministers who were appointed to assist the country.

Gao Yi died, Gao Gong collapsed, and now, only Zhang Juzheng is left.

Zhang Juzheng's attitude is very important.

At this time, Shoufu was flipping through the case file, examining the documentary evidence, material evidence, and witness evidence provided by Beizhen Fusi Yamen.

In this case, Tiqi handled it swiftly and resolutely.

Qi Jiguang is a member of Zhang Juzheng, and the two have a very close relationship. If this villain, Wang Zhanglong, is really from the Qi family army, Qi Jiguang will inevitably be in trouble, and even Zhang Juzheng will be implicated.

But Ti Shuai Zhu Xixiao found all the evidence. This servant has lived in Beijing for more than ten years, and the trajectory of his life is very clear.

Qi Jiajun and Qi Jiguang have been cleared of their suspicions, so Zhang Juzheng can handle this case by staying out of it.

How important is it to Shoufu to stay out of the matter?This will have more room to advance and retreat.

From the very beginning, Zhang Juzheng didn't believe it, he didn't believe in the assassins from Qi's army. He couldn't even kill a ten-year-old boy, and couldn't even deal with an eunuch Zhang Hong. The Qi's army had less than 6000 people, and everyone was extremely brave.

As for the documentary evidence, material evidence, and personal evidence brought by Dongchang, Zhang Juzheng just flipped through them briefly, then closed them and didn't read any more.

So far, Zhang Juzheng has actually understood the context of the whole case.

Chen Hong was the patriarch of the palace when Emperor Longqing was around. All the authority, and Chen Hong and Gao Gong have a very good personal relationship. When Chen Hong fell, Gao Gong also fell.

There is nothing better than the emperor and the courtiers.

The villain Wang Zhanglong was indeed found by Chen Hong. Chen Hong wanted to take this opportunity to make a comeback, and let the enraged Queen Mother directly kill Feng Bao, the first person responsible, so that Chen Hong could use this to restore his monstrous power.

But Chen Hong obviously misjudged Feng Bao's trustworthiness. Although Chen Hong's strategy succeeded and Feng Bao paid a painful price, but Feng Bao did not die, so the only ones who died were Chen Hong and his henchmen. .

The problem now is that Feng Bao, the eunuch in charge of the chief inspector of ceremonies, is pouring dirty water on Gao Gong.

"There is evidence." Zhang Juzheng closed the case file, and said, "Let's try the case of Wang Zhanglong jointly by the Three Jurisdictions."

Zhang Juzheng wrote down his opinion on the case file, took out his seal and sewed the book together, and handed it to Zhang Hong.

Zhang Hong, the eunuch of Qianqing Palace, held the file and placed it in front of His Majesty the emperor, waiting for the emperor to use the treasure of Wanli.

Zhu Yijun looked at the treasure of Wanli. This is his jade seal. The Empress Dowager Li, Feng Bao, and Zhang Juzheng couldn't touch it. no.

After 13 years of Wanli, Emperor Wanli began to slacken his administration. Most of the officials in the court were absent.

This is the system design of the imperial system of the Ming Dynasty. Without the imperial power, everything will cease, and the Ming Dynasty can't do anything.

Zhu Yijun looked at the unbreakable political alliance between Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, which was a fallacy.

Whether there is any problem with Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng has only one attitude towards this matter, and that is to have evidence.

If there is a problem with Gao Gong, it will be dealt with, and if Gao Gong has no problem after the joint trial of the three courts, then it will not be dealt with.

Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong just had different political opinions, and Gao Gong's dismissal was just to realize his own ambition, not to the point of life and death at all.

Feng Bao's complexion changed, after all, he didn't say much, Zhang Juzheng's attitude was very neutral, this time he didn't speak on Feng Bao's side, but the tribunal of the three courts tried the case of Wang Zhanglong's assassination of the king.

The three law divisions are the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang Assistant Manager, and the three law divisions are in the lead.

When the case was handed over to the foreign court, Gao Gong couldn't die.

Zhu Yijun picked up the vermilion pen to approve the red, then covered the treasure of Wanli, assassinated the king and killed the driver, and began to enter the next process, the interrogation.

Zhang Juzheng continued to preside over the court discussions, and this round of court discussions involved all aspects of the Ming Dynasty, such as the finance and taxation of the Ministry of Households, the frontiers of the Ministry of War, the important cases of criminal names of the Ministry of Punishment, the promotion of studies by the Ministry of Rites, the establishment of the Ministry of Industry, and the examination of the Ministry of Officials. .

The test method is the performance appraisal. The able ones go up and the mediocre ones go down. The system design has taken shape, but it is still under discussion. The officials are not happy to set the bridle for the officials. It has been a long time for everyone to discuss seniority. What about Ken Nevol?

But Zhang Juzheng insisted on implementing it, so he could only improve the system.

Zhu Yijun has been reading, and the courtiers formed a resolution, and handed it to Zhang Hong to use the seal before sending it to the imperial case. After Zhu Yijun read it, he would use the seal. He did not express his opinion.

The courtiers were discussing matters, the little emperor was reading, and when the sun was high, Zhu Yijun could already read a few paragraphs of the Analects silently, knowing what happened and why.

"Your Majesty, the court meeting is over." Zhang Hong reminded His Majesty that the court meeting was over, and the 27 courtiers got up to greet the ceremony and left the Wenhua Palace.

Zhang Juzheng stood under the stage, with his hands behind his back, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I will help you to solve your majesty's doubts."

"Can Yuanfu teach without reading a book?" Zhu Yijun stopped writing, looked at Zhang Juzheng who was empty-handed and asked.

Zhang Juzheng replied respectfully: "I am a scholar."

"Why do the Analects of Confucius read Yangping [lún] instead of Qusheng [lùn]?" Zhu Yijun raised his own doubts.
