Ming Dynasty fake eunuch

Chapter 537 Cabinet Opinion
This year seems to be destined to be an uneasy year, just as Ye Xun predicted, the rumor made by him, spread out that day, soon caused great panic among the scholars.

For a while, who was still in the mood to attack Ye Xun and cover up his subordinates? Some went to their teachers to inquire about the situation, and some went directly to the Imperial College to sacrifice wine and asked for a reasonable explanation.

Guozijian Jijiu is equivalent to the current Minister of Culture. He was stunned when he heard the news.Who made this decision, how could he not know?
Master Jijiu couldn't come back up, so he could only appease the students temporarily, and then immediately came to Yang Sichang to ask what happened.

Yang Sichang was also at a loss. It is reasonable to say that such a big matter must be approved by him, but now even he doesn't know about it, so it can only be said that it is a rumor.

Yang Sichang understood the truth that there are no waves without wind, but he didn't think about Ye Xun at all. In his mind, Ye Xun had enough troubles, how could he still care about the affairs of scholars?

After sending away the Guozijian's sacrificial wine, he immediately ordered the Shuntian Mansion to strictly investigate those who spread the rumors.

It's just that the rumors have already spread and spread among the scholars, if they want to arrest people, the Yamen servants of Shuntian Mansion have to dare to do it!
Jin Yiwei and Xichang dared, but it's a pity that they didn't agree with Tianfu at all.

It is said that rumors are limited to wise men, but this rumor was deliberately created and spread by the secret agents of Xichang.

Not to mention, Ye Xun's idea came up on a sudden brainstorm, and when I think about it afterwards, I really think it's pretty good.

Scholars do their studies in order to serve the country in the future, but if they read too much nonsense stereotyped essays, they will only read their brains stupidly, and they will be useless.

If these scholars are really allowed to go to various places for internships before the big exam and serve as guest teachers, it will be of great help to them both in learning and in their future official careers. It can be said that this is the real achievement for the country. Talented move.

This year is definitely too late. After this incident subsides, let the cabinet courtiers draw up a charter.

But Ye Xun also knows that this matter is definitely not so easy to carry out, but such a good thing that benefits the country and the people, even if it encounters some resistance, must be done, at worst, just change some obedient officials, and Once this matter becomes a practice and the scholars get used to it, gradually no one will say anything.

The court meeting on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month was disturbed by this incident, and at the same time Wang Yin also presented the evidence provided by Ye Xun.

But when the matter developed to this point, it was not just a matter of not dealing with the murderer, but Ye Xun once again challenged the rights and interests of civil servants and disrupted the order of the court. Ye Xun must be made to bow his head.

Wang Yin had an excuse not to show up, and the minister of Dali Temple was even more unwilling to step into this muddy water, so the censors pointed their finger at the cabinet one after another.

Fang Zhenru, the censor of Zuodu of the Procuratorate, couldn't sit still. After retiring from the court, he left a few members of the cabinet and was ready to discuss this matter carefully.

To be honest, Yang Sichang is also very dissatisfied with Ye Xun's actions this time. Seriously, Ye Xun is interfering in judicial justice, and for so long, we have strongly supported you, Ye Xun, whatever you do. Now you are fighting against the entire imperial court because of a low-level foreign general, isn't this too disrespectful to the adults?

The seven members of the cabinet, Yang Sichang, Fang Zhenru, and Yuan Keli, all advocated severely punishing the murderer.

Yuan Yingtai and Zhang Quan have already received Ye Xun's instructions and will no longer express their opinions on this matter.

Zhao Ying, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry, had already been kicked out of the cabinet by Yang Sichang, and Yu Zhaojie, the current minister of the Ministry of Industry, was Yang Sichang's answer.

The remaining Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, Wang Yin, who should be in charge of this matter, has decided to stay out of the matter after reading the two confessions provided by Ye Xun.

In this way, the cabinet formed a four-to-three situation. According to the previously established principle of the minority obeying the majority, the cabinet can directly make decisions.

Yang Sichang, who was originally in a good mood, suddenly realized that without Ye Xun's support, it seemed that such a decision could not be implemented at all.

After the vote by show of hands, the cabinet room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.

Looking around, Yuan Yingtai was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Zhang Quan was looking at his fingers intently, as if flowers would suddenly grow out of them.

Wang Yin was quite reliable, holding the memorial in his hand, and staring at it intently, as if the content inside attracted him, but he didn't realize that the memorial was overturned.

Looking at the expressions of the three people, Yuan Keli became more and more angry. He had said earlier that if this matter could not be dealt with according to the law, he would resign from office and return to his hometown instead of suing his old age.

"Snapped!"

He slammed down the table, then stood up angrily, and said loudly: "He can kill whoever he wants, and he can punish whoever he wants. Then why do we need the court's laws? What use are we court officials? ? The old man won't serve you any more," he turned around and left.

Strange to say, even Yang Sichang didn't say anything to persuade him to stay. He looked at Yuan Yingtai and the others coldly, and said, "Everyone is satisfied now? It seems that there will be Eunuch Ye in the court from now on, and you will be helped by the adults. Do you want to help me?" I don't care anymore"

After finishing speaking, he winked at Yu Zhaojie, then turned around and walked out.

Yu Zhaojie hesitated for a moment, but finally got up and left with Yang Sichang.

The seven cabinet ministers left three times, and Fang Zhenru wanted to leave too, but he also knew that going out now was undoubtedly declaring war on Ye Xun.

He is the boss of the Procuratorate, and he understands the cause and effect of the whole incident. Strictly speaking, Ye Xun is indeed suspected of being domineering, but it is obviously not advisable for Yang Sichang and others to force the palace.

Bringing personal emotions to the court is really irrelevant, and if it is more serious, it will be suspected of eliminating dissidents.

Although he didn't like Ye Xun's actions, in Fang Zhenru's mind, it was clear that the unity and stability of the imperial court was the most important thing.

Sighing deeply, he said, "Three adults, how about we go to see Eunuch Ye together?"

Yuan Yingtai and Zhang Quan hadn't spoken yet, but Wang Yin took the lead and said, "Master Fang, when the officials went to find Eunuch Ye, Eunuch Ye's attitude was already very clear, and Mr. Fang has also read the entire case file. Punish the murderer of course." It's important, but we can't make the mistake of hurting our loved ones and making our enemies happy, and besides, Altan has a lot of military exploits, if he is wronged, what will the soldiers on the front line think?"

"Now, don't you see it? This is to deal with Altan, and it is clearly aimed at Eunuch Ye. Some people! They are just too self-righteous"

No one expected that Wang Yin, who was always like a grass on the wall, would say such righteous words.

Although Fang Zhenru is the censor of the left capital of the Procuratorate, he is also a type of clumsy speech.

After hearing Wang Yin's words, his mouth moved, but he didn't know how to refute Wang Yin.

At this moment, a melodious bell sounded suddenly over the palace.
