The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 283 The Butterfly Effect
However, the bad news still came.

On the first day of August in the ninth year of Hongzhi, Xu Gui, an official of the Ministry of Punishment, was formally sent to prison.

Because the matter involved Dongchang, it was naturally another minion of the emperor—Jin Yiwei who carried out this "glorious" task.

This can be regarded as Dongchang avoiding suspicion, but it is so ridiculous in the eyes of civil and military officials.

Naturally, those who reacted most violently were the ministers of the Imperial Academy.

Under the leadership of Xiuzhuan Xie Shen, these ministers of Qingliu had jointly signed a letter, but the emperor turned a blind eye to it, and directly ordered Jin Yiwei to arrest Zhongliang.

In the eyes of the officials of the Imperial Academy, this is intolerable.Emperor Hongzhi, who has always regarded himself as a sage, even shielded Yang Peng, his slave, and ignored the face of scholars all over the world.

So they started a counterattack, and the memorials for Xu Gui flew to the front of the imperial court like snowflakes.Even the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who had always observed the wind direction before acting, admonished the emperor one after another, asking for the release of Xu Gui, Ding Zhe, a doctor of the Ministry of punishment, and Wang Jue, a member of the foreign court.

As a result, the emperor was shocked and asked Xu Pu, the chief assistant of the cabinet, for his opinion.

As a cabinet minister, Mr. Xu Ge's opinion naturally plays an important role.

Xu Pu's opinion was to keep the Dongchang but replace the admiral of the Dongchang, and to reprimand the eunuch Yang Peng.

The emperor was a little hesitant, but at this moment, the eunuch Wang Yue, the supervisor of ceremonies, stood up and reported Yang Peng's many evil deeds of forcibly occupying people's land, extorting bribes and accepting bribes.

Most of these things were done by Yang Peng with the convenience of his position as the admiral of the East Factory, which was equivalent to "smearing" the image of the East Factory.

The emperor was furious for a moment.

If it is said that foreign ministers participated in Yang Peng's performance with some prejudices, then Wang Yue, the supervisor of ceremonies and eunuch in charge of printing, must be the truth.

The emperor really didn't expect that Yang Peng, who was so favored by the emperor, would do such a thing to discredit Dongchang and the image of the Tian family.

The emperor immediately ordered that Yang Peng, the eunuch of Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies and the admiral of the East Factory, be removed from all his posts, and demoted to Nanjing for self-examination.As a result, the political life of the powerful eunuch in the past ended early, and the public was excited for a while.

It can be said that the joint attack of the first assistant Xu Pu and the eunuch Wang Yue, the supervisor of rites, made the emperor finally ruthlessly punish Yang Peng, a slave of the family. After the positions of chief eunuch Bingbi and admiral of Dongchang were vacant, eunuch Xiao Jingxiao took advantage of the situation to fill .As for the extra position of eunuch Bingbi, the supervisor of ceremonies, Deng Yuan, the eunuch of the former imperial horse supervisor, took the place.

This series of chain reactions can be credited to Xie Shen. The little butterfly flapping its wings actually caused a big shock in Hongzhi's nine-year political arena.

In addition, the emperor also issued an edict to release Ding Zhe, a doctor of the Ministry of punishment, Wang Jue, a member of the Ministry of Justice, and Xu Gui, a pawn.And rewarded all civil servants.

The emperor gave face so much, and the civil servants naturally had to compromise.

Under the leadership of Hanlin Xiuzhuan Xie Shen, the officials of the Hanlin Academy once again jointly signed the letter.

But this time it's thanks to the grace.

Since the violence of the Dongchang eunuchs was attributed to Yang Peng, the powerful eunuch, Yang Peng's deprivation of power by the emperor means that the matter has come to an end.

The Hanlin Ci officials kept silent about the abolition of the East Factory, and the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate also expressed the intention of calming down the matter.For a time, it was enjoyable and harmonious, and all parties were quite satisfied.

As the official of the Imperial Academy who spoke out for the three members of the Ministry of Punishment, these credits all naturally fell on Xie Shen.

The words Xie Xiuzhuan heard the most these days were compliments and invitations to banquets, so that Xie Shen would leave the Imperial Academy immediately after work every day to avoid the troublesome invitations to banquets that followed.

But Xie Shen finally found leisure today, and was called by Xu Guan when he returned to the mansion.

Master Xu didn't laugh at Xie Shen either, and directly expressed his hope that the marriage between the boy and Qianqian would be done in the next few days.

Xie Shen was not surprised either.This marriage has been delayed for a year because of Xie Shen's participation in the general examination and palace examination.Now that Xie Shen has been appointed to serve in the Imperial Academy, there is really no reason to procrastinate.

Xie Shen cupped his hands at Xu Guanyi and said, "Thank you, Lao Taishan for your love, my son-in-law will definitely treat Qianqian kindly."

If the family doesn't talk about seeing outsiders, Xie Shen says anything else is hypocritical.

Xu Guan nodded in satisfaction.

There is no need for Xie Shen to worry about the marriage, Mr. Xu has already prepared it, as long as Xie Shen nods, he can do it immediately.

"However, I don't know if Qianqian has any opinions."

Mrs. Xu laughed and said: "What can the girl think, she can't wait to marry you as soon as possible."

Xie Shen smiled sheepishly, scratched his head and said, "Since that's the case, it's up to the boss to decide what to do."

Xie Shen has already made peace with his eldest brother and sister-in-law regarding this marriage, and there is no obstacle there.

However, the capital is far away from Zhejiang Province, and it will take more than a month to go back and forth. Xie Shen immediately decided to ask Lu Zhongtian to set off immediately to invite his eldest brother and sister-in-law to the capital to witness the marriage.

Xie Shen was chatting with Lao Taishan, Xu Qianqian came behind him at some point, and said softly, "Daddy, I will live in the mansion after I get married, so if this idiot dares to bully me, Daddy will protect me."

But Xu Guan pretended to be angry and said, "How can this be? Isn't that virtuous son-in-law a married man!"

It is impossible for any scholar to accept marriage.

What's more, it is a Hanlin editor like Xie Shen.

Although the elder was only half joking, Xie Shen couldn't help but feel shudder when he heard it.

If they continue to live in the Xu Mansion after marriage, they will really be criticized behind their backs.

"Don't be disgusted, my lord. My son-in-law has taken a fancy to a yard in this square. Although it is a little smaller, it is better than quiet. I will buy the house tomorrow."

Just kidding, if someone accused him of being a son-in-law behind his back, where would Xie Shen save his face?

Xu Qianqian snarled at Xie Shen, "I'm just joking with you, seeing how you look like I'm afraid someone will take advantage of you."

Xie Shen smiled and said: "Where is it, I am afraid that if you continue to live in the old Taishan mansion, you will be wronged by the gossip."

"Absurd words, anyway, you are in Beijing, if you dare to bully me, I will come back and find daddy to teach you."

Seeing the two of you talking about each other, Xu Guan coughed and said: "Okay, this old man has settled his mind, let's talk."

For this old Taishan Xie Shen is really a little confused.

It stands to reason that in the Ming Dynasty, the concept of moral education and defense was prevalent, and a family like the Xu family is unlikely to let the prospective son-in-law "leverage" in the mansion.

Xie Shen guessed that it was because Xu Qianqian returned to Songjiang Mansion to serve Xu Guan who was suffering from wind disease, and the house was also idle, so he let Xie Shen stay temporarily.

When Master Xu and Xu Qianqian returned to the capital together, they couldn't just "drive out" Xie Shen, so they kept delaying like this.

After all, the marriage has already been decided, and Xu Guan is not worried about the cooked duck flying away, which is why Xie Shen is allowed to have such an "overstepping" behavior.
