Chapter 357: The Three Talents, the Great Traitor, Wang Tong
The Ministry of Revenue's Shandong Provincial Department of Revenue Li Ercai, Wan, was so sad that he would give advice!
"Zhuge Wuhou said that he was close to villains and was far away from wise ministers, so the Han Dynasty was in decline.
The Jinyiwei Tianjin Qianhu Wang was unable to become a son, but the eagle was scrupulous and unpredictable. He was lucky to advance with his false loyalty. His Majesty was simply promoted to the important position, and he should do his best to serve. However, in the past, the army was invaded, poisoned officials and the people, harmed the people, and set up private checkpoints, recorded the common people, and sucked bones and marrow. Now he heard that he had privately stored troops and horses. He stole his Majesty's laughter and said that he was a tiger's power and stood on the left side of the capital. This was something that had not been heard of in the dynasty for two hundred years.
In addition, Wang Tong had only a thousand households and trained dozens of battalions. The governor and Sima were all unknown. The governor was in charge of military affairs in the world. How could Sima never have heard of it?
Tianjin is near the capital of the capital, and is a place where loyal officials and righteous men in the town are surrounded by the towns. The guards are also guarding the accident. Why do you need this army? I heard that Wang Tong has expressed his kindness in person day and night. The soldiers all give generous gifts and promises, strong armor and powerful soldiers, and courageous aspirations.
Wang Tong had privately stored the intentions of thousands of these dead soldiers, and the ministers did not know, and they really dared not know. The man had an unpredictable heart and did things that could not be said at any time. Disasters would surely arise from his elbows and the ancestral temple was also in decline. Wang Tong was the ancient Yiya, and the ancestral temple was the subordinate of the dynasty of the country. I cried and prayed for the country and brought it to him with the law of the country. I was willing to protect his family and pray for the thorough investigation of the person,"
On the fifteenth day of the 2nd month of the seventh east of Wanli, Li Sancai submitted a memorial to give advice. One stone stirred up a thousand layers of waves.
The main gate of the city is Chengtian Gate. A convex arch city was built in a range of 1,000 steps south of Chengtian Gate, 800 steps east and west. The south gate of the arch city is called Daming Gate.
On both sides of the raised part of the Wucheng are the various yamen offices of the six ministries and nine ministers of the Ming Dynasty. There is a corridor between the Chengtian Gate of the Ming Dynasty, commonly known as Qianbulang.
The court meetings went to court every day, and entered the urn city at the Daming Gate, walked into the Qianjie Gate and entered the imperial city, entered the Wenyuan Pavilion to meet, and the people in the cabinet stayed behind to work, and the rest left the imperial city and returned to our yamen to do their jobs.
Tongzhengsi is located on the east side of the raised part of the city wall nearest to the raised part of the city wall. The other side is commonly known as Humen, and the west side is called Longmen.
If officials from various departments submit memorials, they must submit them to the Tongzheng Department, and have experiences under the Tongzheng Department and collect governors.
But Li Sancai, the Shandong Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, did something extraordinary. Before dawn every day, the cabinet assistant, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, the Secretariat of the Six Ministry, the Censorate, the Clan Mansion, and all the big men qualified to hold court meetings must wait at the Daming Gate to enter the court to discuss matters.
Li Sancai came here almost in the early morning, right in front of the Ming Gate. When everyone from all walks of life had almost arrived, he held the memorial and read it loudly. There were also many middle- and low-ranking civil servants from the Censorate, Sixth Department, Hanlin Academy and Imperial College around him.
All the big guys listened quietly in the sedan chair, and no one expressed their opinions. Li Sancai was full of energy and his voice was loud and his memorial was inspiring. He read a sentence and the clear streamers who followed him cheered. In the end, the colorful sounds were already like thunder, which was even more lively than the theater.
The sky was shining, and listening to the thunderous cheers outside, the imperial guards guarding the imperial city thought something was wrong, so they hurriedly dropped a team of soldiers and came here to check.
Zhang Juzheng kept his door closed in his sedan chair. You Qi outside the sedan chair was whispering to him about what he saw and heard outside. When he heard the imperial guards coming, he opened his eyes slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Since it's a memorial, then send it to the place where you should send it. The court is about to go to the court. Don't gather here and make noise.
You Qi nodded outside the curtain of the sedan chair and then said loudly: "That adult, the memorial should be submitted to Tongzhengsi. Now it's worth it there, just hand it over."
Li Sancai glanced quickly in the direction of You Qi. The courtiers had different sedan chairs, so he naturally knew who was who.
You Qi's words made Li Sancai feel more confident. He closed the memorial unfolded in his hand and said loudly:
"As soon as this memorial was published, Li ignored this. If he stayed or rejected, Li would rather bow to Chengtian Gate to seek justice for the people of the world and to bring disaster to the Ming Dynasty!!"
There was another cheer. Everyone saw the great cheers of the cabinet, the ministers and ministers of the six ministries, and the yamen were all right next to each other, and the colleagues of the Qingliu were all the best time to become famous.
"Brother Daofu, how can you make such a righteous thing alone make you beautiful? I would like to write a memorial to attach a name!"
"This body is not a pity, I just want to ask Quan Zhongyi to be willing."
Someone even chanted loudly there: "Since ancient times, no one has died, but he will leave his loyalty to shine in history." The scene was very generous and intense for a moment, and those who could not control their emotions were filled with tears.
The noise outside was very loud. Shen Shixing, who was sitting in the sedan chair, jumped lightly with his eyebrows a few times and whispered to the outside of the curtain:
"Go back first, pass the message to your wife, and ask her to check the letters from her home to Hejian Mansion, and then prepare a messenger. If you have an urgent letter to leave Beijing today."
Changsui agreed and hurriedly went.
In the past, when the emperor of the court meeting was not here, the court officials "spokenly talked, but today the Jian family was silent, and the old gods were cursing there."
Occasionally, a few people couldn't hold back their breath, but they just looked up and looked around, then lowered their heads.
Zhang Juzheng carried two or three folds with him and was watching carefully there. Shen Shixing sat upright, his eyes closed slightly. Ma Ziqiang and Li Youzi also acted the same way, but although the Grand Secretary and Minister of War Zhang Siwei also lowered his head, he could occasionally look up, but his eyes were fixed at the door.
"The Lord has arrived
As the little eunuch outside eunuchs echoed their voices, Zhang Siwei sat upright, staring at the door, the curtain was lifted, and Emperor Wanli walked in first.
The little emperor's eyes were a little dark. The tired look seemed to be heavier than yesterday. Everyone who experienced it understood in their hearts that the trouble was so great.
In the early morning, such a big thing happened in front of the Ming Gate. Although the emperor would only know the memorial after the Tongzhengsi presented it to the Chief Secretary for Lishui, the inner palace was the imperial family, and there were so many clear streams gathered, and some people were so excited and generous. The content of the statement involved the emperor's favorite minister Wang Tong, and he would definitely notify the emperor as soon as possible.
According to the past, even when adults in the court meeting mentioned Wang Tong, the emperor would immediately change his face. Today, he directly described Wang Tong as a disaster for the treacherous country, and his words became more intense. How would the emperor react?
Except for Zhang Juzheng, everyone in the house who had relevant thoughts was looking at the little emperor carefully, trying to see some clues from the emperor's expression so that they could make relevant adjustments.
There was no sign of anger, no sign of indifference, only fatigue and boredom. The masters in Wenyuan Pavilion were all shrewd people. After knowing it, they all withdrew their eyes and bowed their mouths.
At today's court meeting, the first person to speak was Ma Ziqiang, the Minister of Revenue. His face was quite hesitant. Everyone in the room looked over. Could it be that they saw it in the early morning?
After hesitating for a while, he looked at Zhang Juzheng next to him. After Ma Ziqiang went out to salute, Chen replied:
"Your Majesty, the officials sent by the Ministry of Revenue to investigate the land in various provinces have been sent, including Nanzhili, Xijiang and Jiangxi. The officials sent last year have not returned, so they will not be sent another year."
These are just regular government affairs. I was told at the court meeting that I was so confused, but when I saw Ma Ziqiang talking about this, he stammered and opened his mouth several times without saying a word.
The pavilion became quieter, and even the little eunuch standing at the door raised his head. Zhang Juzheng glanced at him and coughed and said:
"Mr. Ma, it's too wrong to do this before His Majesty.
After saying this, Ma Ziqiang calmed down a little and whispered:
"Your Majesty, the implementation of Tianmuqingzhang in Songjiang Prefecture, Nanzhili is not good. The officials who handled the matter submitted a document to inquire. How should this matter be handled?"
Clearing the land of Zhang and checking hidden land of Zhang Juzheng was the most important preparation before the dynasty assisted Zhang Juzheng to implement the new policy. He attached great importance to it. The people below did not implement it effectively, and the only consequence was to lose their official position and go home, and even go to prison and ask for punishment. Why did Ma Ziqiang still raise such a matter at the court meeting?
However, after everyone was stunned, they all understood. On the contrary, Emperor Wanli was a little confused and a little confused, but he was a little awakened by this Chen Zu.
Seeing Emperor Wanli betting on his eyes, Zhang Juzheng turned around and bowed, and then said:
"Your Majesty, Songjiang Prefecture is mostly a business of industry and commerce, and there is not much land, so there is no need to pursue it too much. I think it is enough to transfer officials to another office to handle the work. What is your Majesty's holy wish?
"Mr. Zhang did it properly, just do it like this!"
But there was still a confused look on his face, but seeing that everyone in Wenyuan Pavilion knew what they looked, it was not easy to ask at this time, and just wanted to leave the court and ask Feng Bao and Zhang Cheng.
Ma Ziqiang had a clear expression of relief on his face. He retreated back to the ranks. Zhang Siwei, the Minister of War, who was also a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, stood up and bowed to Chen and said:
"Your Majesty, outside the Ming Gate this morning, Li Sancai, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, read the memorial. Your Majesty must have heard of this matter. Wang Tong set up a Tiger Power Army and trained dozens of battalions of troops. As the Minister of War, I have indeed dereliction of duty. However, it is not too late to repair the sheep. I have not caused a disaster. Please ask Your Majesty to disperse the King Tong's minions and punish the crime.
Emperor Wanli listened to Chen's comments, his eyelids almost fell down, his body trembled, and he quickly sat down. Hearing Zhang Siwei's next few words, his brows frowned and said impatiently:
"What Wang Tong did was out of his loyalty to me. He trained troops and set up tax customs, and I knew and was sure. These things have been said over and over again, so why bother to mention them again? Zhang Aiqing doesn't need to say them anymore.
