Chapter 568 Borrowing a knife
., one by one. mother. mouth one
After receiving Yan Shifan's promise, Hu Zhi went back to summon his party members to discuss impeachment of the Imperial College to be silent. However, after coming to Beijing, this person was too low-key, and there were only two things that were more eye-catching. One was the imperial gift of Huangyu Ruyi, and the other was the Shuntian Provincial Examination. However, he hid the Huangyu Ruyi tightly, and no one allowed to see him, and could not make any contribution in this regard. The Shuntian Provincial Examination became a taboo that no one could mention, and it was not easy to attack him.
If the East Factory spies had not intervened, Yan Shifan would have been kept in the dark and could not have turned his attention to Chen Si. But now, with the East Factory intervention, information about silence has arrived continuously, making these professional complaints excited as if they smelled bloody sharks.
In fact, there is nothing in the world that is impeccable. In the eyes of the thugs of the Censorate, there are three points that can be used to attack Khan's silence. First, when he was serving as the Maritime Command, the Bing Jingtan Jing given to the relevant yamen in Beijing was quite generous, which shows that it must be corrupt; second, it is said that the collection of books in the Economic Bureau of the Zhanshifu almost sued Cai, and he has not stepped down as the post of Xima, so the responsibility cannot be shirked; third, he has always been in a quarrel with pirates, and has been closely related to Wang Zhi's adopted son Mao Haifeng, and has been policing the pirate Xu Hai, and has always acted as his protective umbrella. Isn't this a thief's self-respect? If it is confirmed, it will not be a dismissal, and it will be enough to behead him!
Hu Zhi reported these three charges to Yan Shifan. He had to pass him before impeachment. Yan Shifan first read the black materials in the first article, and when he saw it, he scolded him for being idiot, saying, "You are a pig's head?! Do you dare to bring up the matter of the Maritime Bureau? Do you think I am not embarrassing enough to be the emperor, right?" Jiajing let him go about the matter of the Maritime Bureau. He did not ask the Three Laws to investigate, but just dismissed the Nu Qing. However, he was silent but he completed the task for years. He had to go out and talk about it. He wanted to find trouble for the job well. He also wanted to make trouble for the job well. Isn't it a shame for himself?
"Then delete this one, you can look at the second one." Hu Zhi, who was determined to seek credit, was disappointed and smiled awkwardly: "The second one is true. As long as he goes to the library of the Sijing Bureau, his responsibility will not be able to escape.
"It's not so good." Yan Shifan said angrily: "He has just washed his horse for a few days? If you really want to pursue it, at most he is aware of the information and his ex will have to take on most of the responsibility." He said, glaring at him and said: "When you use your pig brain, think about it, who is his ex?"
"Yes, who?" Hu Zhi couldn't figure out who was in the position of acquiring qualifications like Zhan Shi's Mansion.
"Sister Yuan, a fool!" Yan Shifan said angrily: "How cautious that guy is that? Be careful that he will break up with you then!"
Hu Zhi was completely hit and said dejectedly: "Look at the third item first. If it doesn't work, I will go back and make a fuss. In his opinion, the third item is the most unreliable. Xu Hai has been recruited, and his troops have become a fleet escort for the Maritime Bureau. All silent activities should be finalized and have become a relief that is beneficial to the court.
Unexpectedly, Yan Shifan saw it and not only did not curse. He also nodded and said, "This is good, it can resonate." He then decided to launch an impeachment with this core. Or release it. Hu Zongxian, Southeast, Hu Zongxian, was arguing with the Xijiang Inspector Wang Bengu, and launched the debate to Beijing, which became a hot topic that has been endless.
The faction that supported Wang Bengu's faction was mostly righteous and self-righteous Qingliu. Their reasons were very simple. Since the hukou had done so many bad things, Wang Zhi, the hukou leader, should be responsible for killing the chicken to show the monkey to achieve results.
Most of the officials who supported Hu Zongxian could think calmly and truly understand the current situation in the southeast. They believed that taking into account the actual situation of the court, killing Wang Zhi was not a good idea, but he should be allowed to serve the court, restrain the bent enemies, and then slowly plan for it.
But in this magical land of China, it is never a good idea to defeat different opinions, because China has no logic, but is full of sophistry. These sophistry are not based on rigorous facts, but are based on the so-called words of the saints. The words of the saints are too many, and are full of self-contradictory, so that people can always find theories that support themselves and be invincible.
But this does not mean that different views cannot be defeated. On the contrary, it is easier to do this in China than in any country, because there is a simple method that has been tried and done, which is absolutely effective, that is, to be wrong with people. As long as the person’s moral problems are found from a certain aspect, as long as the person is immoral, then the views he holds are immoral and will be self-defeating.
This general moral standard of right and wrong is extremely beneficial to those "clever officials" who do not gain oil and salt. In fact, most of these honest officials only have salary to receive, and they have no way to embezzle them, and they may not be very moral. But it is these officials who claim to be "clever officials" who occupy the commanding heights of morality and can use this weapon anytime and anywhere. For "immoral officials, small"
Unfortunately, Hu Zongxian is the official whom they see as "immoral." Wang Ben has sufficient evidence that Hu Zongxian's hands are not clean. He amassed a huge amount of money by adding additional taxes to the south, requesting the retention of Xijiang salt and silver. In this regard, Wang Bengu called it "Governor-General Silver Worker." and impeached this.
However, Hu Zongxian submitted a memorial to himself: "I will eliminate thieves for the country and use bait for the time being. If you use small favors, you cannot make a big plan." This means that I want to recruit you. You must use a lot of money to bribe the enemy, but this money cannot be withdrawn from the open account, and you can only be intercepted privately, so it is misunderstood.
Even if his statement is true, this behavior will have a great negative impact on his reputation.
Moreover, Hu Zongxian is indeed luxurious in life. There are many vivid jokes in Qingliu's mouth, which can prove this. It is said that once, Hu Zongxian invited a banquet for the weaving eunuch Huang Jin, the newly appointed local official Li Ziyuan and others to drink with two hundred maids. When it was time to leave, Huang Jin took out five taels of gold to express his gratitude. Hu Zongxian sneered and ignored it. Li Ziyuan only took out gold again and again. He was thrown into the water on the spot, and said with an unhappy look: "You are humiliating me!"
Moreover, Wang Bengu saw with his own eyes that Hu Zongxian welcomed the spring banquet, decorated the lights and coloured for several miles. The sound of drums and music shook the sky, and the maid knelt on the ground to welcome the guests, doing her best to do the extravagant things, which were beyond the reach of the family of the vassal kings and princes.
There are more magical and more in line with the vulgar tastes of the masses. It is said that once again, Yan Song's grandson Yan Ji returned to his hometown to visit his grave and passed by Hangzhou. Of course, Hu Zongxian had to make extravagant and entertained him. He also found several famous prostitutes from Jiangnan to sleep. Yan Ji was newly married at that time, and his newly married granddaughter Xu Jie was still with him, so he naturally refused. Hu Zongxian said, "Are you making things difficult for me? Then I will go first. He actually hugged him and went to bed first, and did not go back the next day.
These rumors are all famous, surnamed, and eyes-- and courtiers cannot believe them. How could Hu Zongxian maintain such a luxurious life with his meager salary? Therefore, no one can refute the accusation of "corruption and corruption".
Therefore, those officials who originally supported Hu Zongxian had to draw a clear line with this "corrupt criminal". The situation was one-sided for a while, and public opinion was extremely unfavorable to Hu Zongxian.
Even Hu Zhanxian himself was worried that he would be investigated and investigated because he was worried that he would be investigated and no longer argued. It was clear that if Hu Zongxian had not been indispensable on the southeast coast, it would be difficult to tell whether their father and son could survive the thunderous anger some time ago, so he would naturally spare no effort to support it. But Hu Zongxian himself was not so firm at the moment. In Yan Shifan's opinion, this shows that although Wang Zhi's affairs have not yet been clearly discussed, the result has been destined. Since this is the case, he certainly did not fear making use of this matter!
It’s not that he doesn’t want to do it himself, but he has a very bad impression of the emperor recently. If he takes action under the emperor’s nose, it will inevitably backfire. So he can’t use a knife to kill people without doing it. He lets those stupid people jump up and knock Shen Mo to the ground for him, waiting for the boy to be driven out of the capital, and then hit him one after another until he gets a skin and sucks the marrow, and then he can relieve his hatred!
The situation went very smoothly. As soon as the memorial to impeach Shen Mo and colluded with Bokou, the view became popular among the clear streams: "If Shen Mo is let go, it means that there is nothing wrong with colluding with Bokou, and Wang Zhi, who was locked in Hangzhou, should be released. That is equivalent to Hu Zongxian defeating Wang Bengu, and this is something that Wang Bengu and his accomplices cannot accept in any case.
Therefore, Wang Bengu went to the party and Hongdan wrote a letter to support the investigation and prosecution of Shen Mo and re-arrested Xu Hai. He was still jumping among all officials, hoping that more people would join in and fight against this act of tolerating and raising evil.
Shen Mo's friends were naturally dissatisfied in the same year and wrote letters to support Shen Mo, saying that Xu Hai was already a martial artsman of the Ming Dynasty and was defending the sea territory of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the hunchback in Susong has disappeared, which shows that surrendering Xu Hai is a great thing that benefits the country and the people.
After six years of growth and growth, Shen Mo's friend has grown into an intermediate official in the court in the same year. Although there are no high-ranking officials, he helps people and works hard to go together. He can really fight with those who clamor for strict handling of Shen Mo.
The two sides were quarreling, but the big guys kept silent and never expressed their support for either party. At this time, Gao Gong couldn't stand it anymore. Although he had a big temper, his eyes were bright and his heart was bright. He knew that if Master Xu was secretly restrained, those Qingliu would not have made such a fierce thing. After all, they were still listening to Master Xu, so Xu Jie's inaction made him very angry in this matter.
But he was a right assistant minister and spoke too lightly, so he could only find Xu Jie and said, "Shen Mo caused this trouble for you, Master Ge. Master Ge, can't ignore him!"
Xu Jie said lightly: "He is my student, of course I can't ignore it."
"The lower official is not questioning the cabinet master. Gao Gong said patiently: "It's just that those people are too dissatisfied now and don't keep their strength to fight the party, but they fight here."
Xu Jie said this. Didn’t he point at the monk and scold the bald man and say I’m going to kill the donkey? He said with displeasure: “What are you fighting with Gao Shigong in the nest, please tell me clearly.” Gao Gong didn’t expect him to say this, and was choked, so he had to apologize: “The officials are speaking inappropriately, they are all ministers of His Majesty. Where did they get their cliques?”
Xu Jie nodded and said, "As it said, he is my student. I won't ignore it. When the right time is right, I will help Gao Gong and say, "Don't worry about Gao Gong."
Gao Gong knew that it would be useless to say too much. If he said too much, he would confirm that his silence was very close to him, which was even more unfavorable to him. He had to silently withdraw from the cabinet's duty room.
It should be said that Gao Gong had a good impression of this old man Xu, because he had helped His Highness Yu several times, but the indifference and ruthlessness shown by Xu Jie today greatly shocked Gao Suqing. He finally knew that under his smiling and kind face, there was also a cruel and ruthless person.
Looking back at Xu Jie's office, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's just a bird of a feather. What's the difference? In Yuxi Palace, Emperor Jiajing, who had the dragon body restored, had the intention to handle government affairs. The Silijian brought over the memorial that had been accumulated for a long time and asked the emperor to give instructions.
When Jiajing saw that the memorials were piled up like Bushan, he frowned and said, "How can I finish reading so many?" But he still started to look at them. He enjoyed his attitude of approving the memorials, leaning comfortably on the recliner, and then the two eunuchs spread the memorials and delivered them to the right distance in front of him. He looked at them, but he closed his eyes and the eunuch quickly changed them. He no longer had his head until the emperor thought the memorials were a matter, so he would nod, take them over and take them to take a look, and then look at the cabinet's instructions. If he agreed, throw them on the left. If he did not agree, throw them on the right. The eunuch who owned the Silis Office returned to the cabinet for re-approval.
What made Jiajing happy was that the opinions drafted by the cabinet were very consistent with his wishes. And he looked much more sophisticated than before, and that kind of style of prime minister who was old and a country was not something that the previous ones could have. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "Yan Shifan has become more capable, it seems that he should really beat him up.
Li Fang next to him smiled and said, "Master, these are all criticized by Mr. Xu. At that time, Mr. Yan and Mr. Yan were resting at home." The so-called rest is an elegant saying of thinking about their mistakes behind closed doors.
Jiajing said strangely: "Why hasn't this font changed?"
"It is said that before, it was said that Master Yan and Master Xu's account." Li Fang replied in a low voice.
Jiajing Ran Yan said thoughtfully: "It seems that Xu Jie's ability has never been shown.
Li Fang.com was about to answer, but saw the emperor frowning and being attracted by the next memorial, so he had to stop and wait aside.
After reading it, Jiajing asked Li Fang with the memorial, "How many memorials did Silijian receive?"
Li Fang hurried forward and took a look and replied respectfully: "The Silijian received more than 40 copies of the memorial to impeach Lord Shen."
"This kid is quite capable, he only has more than 40 books at once. Many people may not be able to save so much for their entire lives.
Jiajing actually laughed and asked again: "What does the cabinet mean?" The cabinet cannot approve the memorial to impeach officials, and the power of showing kindness comes from the Lord.
Li Fang said softly: "Old Ge Ye said that the pure one is clear, and the turbid one is turbid. This matter should be investigated strictly to face the audio and restored Lord Shen's reputation. And Mr. Xu said that silence is his student, and he is not convenient to express his opinions.
"Haha, I know why Xu Jie can't fight Yan Song?" Jiajing smiled and said, "He is always smart and unwilling to stand up for his own people." He said, "The officials are in their hearts and will inevitably feel that he is not very righteous, so they would rather follow Yan Ge Lao's webbed water than go on the Xu Jie's ship." As he said, he smiled and said, "But that's good. If he doesn't form a clique, he can only rely on alliances, which is an advantage."
Li Fangxin said why did he get silenced to Xu Jie? Then he asked in a low voice: "What the princess means is, how should I approve this matter?"
Jiajing snorted coldly and said, "Those censors were too much. In order to force Hu Zongxian to kill Wang Zhi, they came up with such a detriment." Yan Shifan's plan worked. This was based on his deep understanding of Jiajing's thinking. He knew that the emperor always looked at problems like others, and was a firm conspiracy theorist. As he expected, Jiajing really thought that those innocent people impeached and silenced, because it was Xiang Zhuang's sword dancing, with the intention of Pei Gong, and the purpose was to take Wang Zhi's life.
Yan Shifan knew very well that this emperor who was afraid of trouble was tired of fighting with those stubborn censors. In exchange for a purity of ears, Jiajing would compromise and sacrifice a trivial silence and block the censors' mouths.
But he underestimated the status of silence in Jiajing's heart and did not know that this young man was the object of Jiajing's secret training for his successor, so he had a deviation in his judgment of Jiajing.
Jiajing said: "Let him have a vacation, let him go back to see his father, and come back after the New Year
