Chapter 731 The Prisoner's Dilemma
Chen wrote down all these five pieces, gently blew the ink traces, and handed them over to several departments to pass them. Ma Kun, Zhang Liang and others passed each other carefully, saying that they would continue to give the next one after they were good. However, when he arrived at Zhu Ya, the Minister of Works of Nanjing, he handed the manuscript to He Shou without looking at it, and even had a nuisance on his face.
His disharmonious behavior instantly made the atmosphere in Jingmiao Hall awkward. He Shou shook the manuscript in his hand and laughed: "Why don't the ministry not read it?" "No need to read it." Zhu Heng said with a straight face: "I don't know how to sign it." "I don't have any opinions on the Circle Business and Movement." Zhang Liang hung Hao and said: "Although I'm asking for it.
"Yes," Ma Kun also echoed: "It's okay if you say it, Brother Shengshan." Although Zhu Heng was not the oldest among the ministers, he was the earliest to pass the imperial examination... At the eleventh year of Jiajing, when he was only twenty years old, he became a Jinshi in high school, and his qualifications were the oldest among the people here. Moreover, the reason why he left Beijing was not excluded or factional struggles... In fact, he never participated in party struggles...but because he was upright and disdained to give gifts to Yan Song, he sat on the bench. But his character is well-known, and his reputation in Beijing is very high, and it has nothing to do with this mutiny. If he could sign the letter in the memorial, it would undoubtedly be of great benefit to pass the test.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhu Heng. Zhu Heng felt the begging in their eyes and sighed: "Everyone, I, Zhu Shinan, are not the ones who stand and speak without aches. So I didn't plan to be more serious when I came here today, but I had to say a few words to Mr. Huang. He is a clean official and a good official. He is wholeheartedly planning for the court to do things that are destined to attract hatred, but is the responsibility really on him? The people below can't understand it, so we have to be distracted from our conscience? "
"Even if he is wrong, he has already lost his life for some people. Do you really have the heart to let him take the blame to the end?" Zhu Heng said with a sneer: "Along with such a serious incident, can a dead Huang Maoguan be fully responsible? It's too easy to think about it?"
The hall was silent, and everyone knew that he was telling the truth, especially Ma Kun and Zhang Liang, whose faces were even more green and red, because some of the people Zhu Heng mentioned were referring to them.
Seeing that the scene was in a deadlock, Chen had to beat him up and said, "Since there are still some disagreements, let's discuss the next one first." Anyway, he was not in a hurry and did not intend to offend these officials. He said, "Although the riots have returned to the camp, those who provoked trouble are still hidden among the soldiers and violently attacked the yamen of the Ministry and the yamen were not punished. If you forget it like this, you can't just warn you, and you can't communicate with the court. Please pay off the few Gao Tangs and get out the rules.
After a while, everyone came to their senses. Zhang Liang refused repeatedly: "Since Master Jinglei is here, how dare we arrest you? Of course, you decided."
Chen smiled and said, "This is not right. Nanjing affairs should always be solved by Nanjing officials. Although I am a Southeast manager, I cannot go beyond the ages."
"Oh, Lord Shen, when is it now? Still care about the old customs and bad habits?" Ma Kun said: "You are the Southeast Master, of course you should decide, not to mention..." As he said that, he smiled bitterly and said: "We are not suitable for us to come forward now, otherwise they will definitely say that we are taking personal revenge, and no one will convince." The others agreed, and Chen could not give in.
Chen had to reluctantly ask him: "In the end, I can report it in my name, but I still have to take it with you."
Seeing that he was so kind, Zhang Xi and others felt even more disgusted, so they carefully proposed for him, so they came up with five more handling opinions:
First, severely punish the riots. Everyone can be held accountable, but those who take the lead in causing trouble and attack Mr. Huang must be killed to serve as a warning to others.
Second, the garrison officers were not strict in discipline and should have a heavy responsibility, but because they were meritorious in appeasement of the rebels and returned to the camp, they did not pursue criminal responsibility, and only relegated and fined their salaries. However, the officers in Zhenwu camp must be prosecuted and went to the frontier to make meritorious service.
Third, the court requested the court to recruit soldiers from the nine major camps to become naturalized military households, give them skills to the original garrison, and order them to farm and support themselves to reduce the burden on the court. Fourth, several camps that had not been moved were rewarded to encourage the law.
Fifth, Zhang Xiang and Ma Kun asked for punishment... This is the proper meaning in the question, and it is also something they have been waiting for.
Chen Zhibu copied these down and handed them over to the masters to read. He put them on the table and said, "In this way, we will write a document according to this. After you all, we can report it."
"What about Mr. Huang's problem?" Zhu Heng's memory was not as bad as that, and he said in a deep voice: "I just want to say to you, how do you treat your colleagues today, and how will you treat them tomorrow!" These loud words made the scene deadlock again.
At this time, the faces of all the adults were not good-looking, and they thought they were endless. We all couldn't protect the account themselves, so we couldn't let the dead be more burdened?
The scene became stiff again, and Chen had to come out and talk, "I have a bad idea. Do you want to hear it?" "Sir, please tell me." Everyone looked at him and said, "Let's change the previous description." Chen flipped through several manuscript papers, picked up one of them and said, "It's here, I'll read it to you. The rebel soldiers pushed the eight officials below Huang Maoguan to the arch tower, tied them to the drum, forced the i1 to force the salary. After he failed, he beat the stick with his hand. Huang Shun did not Fortunately, he died, and his body hung in the Qiao Tower for three days before he was taken down..." After reading it, he said solemnly: "This statement will greatly damage the face of the court and will also make Mr. Huang and his family shame forever." Everyone nodded and said: "What the wise man said is very much, but everyone is dead, I don't know how to change it?" "Change the way to die." Chen said lightly: "'After hitting the hand and stick, he wrote that Mr. Huang was bleeding on his face and was seriously injured, and then committed suicide in the Qiao Tower."
"Change him to suicide?" The masters suddenly said, such benefits are obvious, because a senior official in the ministry was beaten to death and died in a cowardly manner, which also embarrasses the court and will not receive the sympathy of all officials; but if it is changed to suicide, such death will be strong and honest, and there will definitely be many people speaking for him, and the court will be able to handle it with lenient treatment... Since he has committed suicide, he will be exempted from being held accountable, and his family will be able to accept it according to the family members of the officials who died in the line. Moreover, judging from the preparations of several officials in the ministry, a high-ranking official who apologizes for his death will undoubtedly reduce the blame in all aspects. It is indeed a matter of no need to be obtained?
As for the court, it will definitely recognize this report. Even if it is contrary to what we have learned before, it will use it as the final release result.
Even Zhu Heng felt that playing with words was done by the officials, he knew that only through this method could the Minister Huang avoid being dirty after his death and his family gain the favor of the court. Looking at the begging expression on the faces of the people in the room, he finally sighed heavily and stopped saying anything.
So, after summarizing the final opinions, Chen immediately drafted it into a document. After a brief look, all the masters used the seals behind them. Chen looked at them again, and confirmed that they were sure that they were correct. He immediately put a thick kraft envelope and sealed it. He added the Southeast Administration's guards and handed them to the Jinyiwei for 800 miles to send them to Beijing.
After doing all this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and He Shou proposed to hold a banquet on Xiuchun Tower to welcome Lord Shen.
Before Chen could answer, Zhu Heng stood up and said, "This time the military chaos, the Ministry of Works' Office was also affected. I have written and written documents and documents have been damaged many times. I want to go back and check them out and count the losses, so I will not participate."
He Shou was also embarrassed, so he smiled and smoothed out, "Eunuch He, I think Zhu Butang's words make sense. We should be a good person by just having our tails on our feet. It's not too late to drink the celebration wine together after the matter is over.
"Ma Kun and Zhang Liang were already nervous and did not have the mood to have the mood to have a banquet, and they all agreed: "That's true."
He Shou smiled bitterly and said, "Okay, I'm ignorant of the miscellaneous family." He said, shaking his sleeves and said to Changsui, "Tell me that I won't go at noon, so I won't be wasted."
Zhu Ya did not leave him at all, so he bowed to Chen and left first. The rest could not sit still. He exchanged a few greetings with Chen and then said goodbye.
He Shou walked at the end and whispered to Chen in a low voice: "Thank you for being old this time. I'll ask Xiaoqi to give you some local specials later, but don't refuse." Chen smiled and said: "You are so polite, father-in-law."
After sending everyone away, when they came back, they saw a load of fruit on the ground in the hall. The little Qi kowtowed and said, "This is our father-in-law's little intention. Please accept it with a smile."
Chen walked over, kicked the edge of the basket inadvertently, feeling extremely heavy, and said knowingly: "What do you father-in-law have to explain?"
When Xiao Qi saw him, he felt relieved and whispered: "Our father-in-law said, Zhang Liang, Ma Kun and others were in Nanjing, my father-in-law was not so naive. Knowing this time, he, the eunuch, would not continue to do it..."
"Oh? Is that?" Chen Zi responded lightly, but he thought to himself: 'This is right. No eunuch can understand the second-rank officials." But he still said calmly: "The stay or not of your father-in-law depends on the emperor and the Silijian. As a foreign official, I can't interfere."
Xiaoqi kowtowed and said, "Our father-in-law said that the one who has the final say in the Sili Supervisor is Huang Jinhuang. He is your best friend. You don't have to write a letter to plead for our father-in-law. You just need to say a few words to my father-in-law in the secret report to the emperor...it's not too good to say."
"Um..." Chen was shocked. While he was conquering the Southeast, he also received a secret order from Emperor Jiajing to report the truth in the Southeast every day. This was something that even the cabinet knew. However, the eunuch in Nanjing was ruling, and it must have been a leaked news from the Sili Supervisor. It seemed that the eunuchs were indeed a family member, and the eunuchs were heart-to-heart.
The other party said this to this point, and it would be boring to deny it again. Chen said vaguely: "Well, I know, you go down first."
After he beat Xiaoqi away, Chen asked Sanqi to check the load of 'fruit' and brushed off a layer of lychees on it, two dou of longan-eye-sized pearls were exposed. Sanqi opened his mouth wide and said, "Where are so many big pearls?" He took a few casually, each of which was round and full, without flaws, which was rare on the market. "Before he was in the track, he served as the purchasing eunuch sent to Taihu Lake for a long time." Zhu Wu, who appeared in the house at some point, said lightly: "These pearls were probably private work that were saved at that time, and they made great achievements for him over the years." As he said that, he picked up a piece and looked carefully and said, "It is indeed the best Taihu tribute beads. It should be his treasure at the bottom of his box."
"Oh, I didn't expect that the fifth master would still have some research on jewelry." Chen smiled and said to him and Sanchi, "Brothers have worked hard all these days. Let's divide these beads and take them back to make the wife happy. It is definitely a must-kill."
Sanchi knew that the lord had never left these things, so he thanked him, so he carried the load. Zhu Wu stopped and said, "Sir, after talking about jewelry, let's talk about gold and silver, the origin of that batch of silver has been found out."
He was talking about the ship of silver from Daxia Shao. At that time, Chen Momo was very surprised. Where could he get so much cash? At that time, he thought that the other party was engaged in maritime smuggling, and a smuggling group that could afford such a sum of silver at one time must pay attention. So Zhu Wu checked the origin of this batch of silver.
The result was just the opposite. Zhu Wu told Chen Ju that the batch of silver did not come from the sea, but was born and raised by the Ming Dynasty goods: "The identification results of several silver companies are the same. This batch of silver is produced by the Zhejiang official silver, and is produced by the Quzhou silver mine." Because of the limited technical conditions at this time, as the silver circulating in currency, it is rare to purify at most 95% and 96% of silver. It is not cost-effective to be higher. Therefore, experienced silver workers can tell at a glance whether the silver is produced in the southwest, southeast, or north according to the different impurities. Some knowledgeable people can even refine which silver mine to a specific refinement. "Quzhou..." Chen Ju's eyebrows frowned. One of his three major heart problems was Quzhou's silver fog.
At this time, Zhu Wu further emphasized: "And from the forging techniques of these silver mines, they all went out of the private small kilns, and from the smoothness of the surface, it can be inferred that it was forged only in the past six months." "Those who dig private mines" Chen murmured: "What do you want to do?" "Sir, my subordinates suggest that Shao Fang be arrested immediately. Zhu Wu said in a deep voice: "Only one charge of 'stealing official silver' can make him look like eighteen."
"No, no..." Chen shook his head and said, "He is too conspicuous. He can't do anything to him. Besides, he just helped the court to relieve his sleep. Without absolute evidence, how can I attack him?" I have to admit that sometimes being extremely high-profile is also a way to protect himself. "Then this matter..." Zhu Wu asked with a frown.
"Of course I can't forget this." Chen said in a deep voice: "This is 400,000 taels of silver, not 40,000 taels, 4,000 taels! What is the intention of such a large deal? Shao Fang was fighting alone in front of the stage, and who was manipulating behind the scenes? All these must be investigated clearly, but you must investigate secretly and not alarm the snake." "The official knows." Zhu Wu said: "Sir, I am very worried. Such people in the world often have a deep background, so it's better to be careful." "You are doing good." Chen said with a laugh.
While the two were talking, the guards came in to report: "The Duke of Wei is here."
Chen nodded, and the guard went out to invite Xu Pengju in, and Zhu Wu also moved behind the scenes.
Chen got up and didn't walk to the door, and saw Xu Pengju coming in happily and shouting, "Brother, I'm from, I'm from." Chen laughed and said, "What's wrong with the master doing? Do you want to find me?" Xu Manju's smile on his face was obvious-Zhisai said, "You really know how to joke, one by one, one by one" "Isn't it funny?" Chen said, as if he was smiling, "It seems that I'm not suitable to make fun of you."
"No, it's funny." Xu Pengju was sure that he was joking and quickly laughed: "It's so funny, hahahaha..." After laughing, he continued: "It's the leader of the rioters from!"
"Oh?" Chen said happily, "Really?"
"It's not hey." Xu Pengju said: "Just this morning, they had been secretly sent to the city to the camp generals. Now they are kneeling on the martial arts field in our mansion, waiting for the Lord of the Ruler to fall."
"Very good." Chen said, "When I change my clothes, we will go and have a look." So he turned back to the back hall and asked the guard to change into his official uniform. Zhu Wu said, "Sir, your theory of prisoner's dilemma is indeed amazing." "Don't slap this horse, one by one, one by one" Chen said, "The affairs of Nanjing will be reported on the horse. Hurry up and investigate the matter of Shao Daxia. I don't want to leave with my worries."
"Yes." Zhu Wu bowed and asked again: "Are the garrison officers in Nanjing, especially Xu Pengju, ready to punish me?"
"This..." Chen took the official hat and gently cut it on his head and said, "It's not the time yet. After a while, someone will come to clean up theirs." After that, he walked out of the back hall with a calm expression and came to Xu Pengju and said, "Master, let's go."
