One thousand ninety-ninth chapter end of the year(1/2)
Next to Lin Yanchao's house, officials were discussing fiercely.
And in Lin Yanchao's house.
Sun Chengzong said: "My teacher, He, Ma, impeachment of Zhang Jing and Yuan Fu is really amazing. The internal ministers made friends with the cabinet is a taboo for the emperor and a taboo for all officials."
Lin Yanchao said: "If you were Yuanfu, how would you deal with it?"
Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said, "Zhang Jiangling and Feng Shuanglin were demoted to the 'Er Shu'. Yuan Fu saw the emperor's disposal of Zhang Jiangling and Feng Shuanglin. So at present, no matter whether he has any connection with Zhang Jing, he must separate the relationship."
"How to clear the relationship?" Lin Yanchao asked.
Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said, "Zhang Jing has been with the emperor for many years. Under the protection of the emperor, he might be ordered to be impeached. If the two censors Ma, if Yuan Fu can protect the two censors here, he will definitely receive the approval of the Qing Dynasty."
"What then?" Lin Yanchao asked.
Sun Chengzong hesitated and said, "Then, Yuan Fu should defend himself to the emperor and confess his thoughts. The emperor still relies on Yuan Fu and will not pursue it."
Lin Yanchao shook his head and said, "That's wrong. With my information, Yuanfu will not only protect the impeachment of He and Ma, the two censors, but will also immediately attack Zhang Jing, and lead the cabinet to put pressure on the emperor as the chief minister. In this way, all officials and the emperor will be explained!"
Sun Chengzong was shocked when he heard this, "Isn't this falling into Gu and Zhao's plan? They are expecting Yuan Fu to do this."
Lin Yanchao said: "You think you can tell the emperor that you can tell the emperor's heart. But will the emperor believe it? Only by putting in trouble and taking advantage of the public's arguments can you get the emperor's way of trusting the emperor."
Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said, "Mr., I still find it hard to understand. If Yuan Fu did not impeach Zhang Jing, but was encouraged by the censor, it would not confirm his suspicion. He felt guilty about being a thief. The emperor had never doubted it, but in this move, he thought that Yuan Fu and Zhang Jing had something to do before. The students thought that at this time, they should respond to all changes with the most unchanging approach.
Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "It's okay if Yuanfu did this, but if you were Zhang Jing, the censor could not impeach you, and the emperor suspected that you colluded with the cabinet. What should you do?"
Sun Chengzong suddenly said, "Yes, Yuan Fu doesn't take action. Zhang Jing recovers one step later and wants to deal with Yuan Fu. This is also to confess his thoughts to the emperor. What his mentor sees is really far-sighted, and Chengzong is convinced."
Only then did Sun Chengzong understand why Lin Yanchao was able to stand firm in the political arena for so many years. Today, Lin Yanchao taught him a vivid lesson.
Lin Yanchao said: "Although Yuan Fu fell into Gu Xiancheng and Zhao Nanxing's plan this time, this move can resolve the crisis for him, so he must continue to move forward. Losing Zhang Jing certainly broke the balance in the court, but it is better than being insecured in the face."
Sun Chengzong said: "My teacher's words are really taught, but Yuan Fu's position will be difficult to sit in. According to the teacher's strategy, there must be a way to help Yuan Fu overcome this difficulty."
Lin Yanchao smiled when he heard this, and then said, "Zhisheng, whether he has a strategy or not, why should I help Yuanfu?"
Sun Chengzong was stunned when he heard this, and then realized that he felt a little unacceptable when he came over.
Lin Yanchao patted Sun Chengzong on the shoulder and said, "You must remember what you say today."
"It's really hard for students..."
Lin Yanchao suddenly said: "I am currently in a suspicious place. It is still unknown whether I can enter the cabinet in the future. But you have to know that it is really not important to me whether I enter the cabinet or not."
"If I am attacked by political enemies in the future, remember not to stand up for me, and protecting myself is the best strategy. When the world has reached this point, reform and practice are the only way out, and you should not be so pessimistic. Although today's situation is full of dangers, the time for great achievements is also today. You must be ready to bear the world for me at any time. Then you can endure humiliation and support the country. This will be a reward for my cultivation of you for many years."
Sun Chengzong was shocked when he heard this, and then trembled: "Mr...."
Lin Yanchao waved his hand and said, "My ambition is half realized. Tao Zhouwang still has so many disciples who will pass on it for me. As long as the scholars in the world are still there, the knowledge of merit will be passed on continuously."
"And in the temple, you and Meiren are there. One of you is in the cabinet and the other is in the ministry. Ten years later, the official position may not be under me. If you can do things in the court, you can do it. If you can't do it, you will only focus on attracting future generations and passing on your hands. A spark of sparks can start a prairie fire, let alone the efforts of so many people."
"Even if someone suppresses me and doesn't let me enter the cabinet, then what's the pity for me!"
After saying that, Lin Yanchao laughed happily.
Sun Chengzong lowered his head and whispered: "Mr., the students have not thought so much now. In the hearts of the students, the mentor is Wang Anshi, the mainstay of the world. Students are willing to be the teacher before the reform, but they never thought of taking on this burden."
Lin Yanchao sighed: "For you now, the burden is indeed too heavy. You can rather break than bend and persist without doubt, but there is some lack of flexibility, but for the emperor, he can appreciate yours."
"His Majesty?"
Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "No, as far as I know, the emperor wrote your name on the screen of Wenhua Palace..."
After hearing Lin Yanchao's words, Sun Chengzong was shocked.
After Sun Chengzong left, Lin Yanchao immediately ordered someone to keep Li Yi.
When Li Yi saw Lin Yanchao, he looked nervous. Lin Yanchao pressed his hand and let him sit down, and then said, "Are you planning to impeach Zhang Jing?"
After hearing Lin Yanchao's words, Li Yi was shocked and immediately got up and left the chair and bowed, "Report to the teacher, the student does have this idea, I wonder how the teacher knows?"
Lin Yanchao said: "You mentioned this here today, just to make a sound of the wind. I want to hear the opinions of everyone and to test my thoughts. I ask you who instructed you for the impeachment?"
Li Yi immediately said: "No one, the student is just resentful, no one instructs me, I beg the teacher to believe... I believe in the student, the student dare not hide anything in front of the teacher."
Lin Yanchao said: "I know you have always been loyal and honest, otherwise you would have driven you out of the door a long time ago."
"Teacher!" Li Yi looked shocked and his body trembled slightly uncontrollably.
He is now a minister in charge of the official department. In the court, there are countless officials who have to look at his face, but in front of Lin Yanchao, he looks like a child who is not worth much.
Lin Yanchao looked at Li Yi's expression and said, "I thought your official position was easy to come by? Do you want to resign from this official position? I don't know how to cherish it. Is it worth destroying your career in order to defeat Zhang Jing?"
After hearing Lin Yanchao's words, Li Yi's face turned red and said, "Mr., the student is rash."
Lin Yanchao said: "The impeachment matter will be aborted. As for the reason, you will naturally understand in the future. Do you still have any objections?"
Li Yi immediately bowed to Lin Yanchao and said, "Students follow the leader of the horse in terms of their teachers' opinions. The teacher does not allow students to impeach the seal, and the students do not write a word."
Lin Yanchao nodded.
In history, Li Yi was the main general who impeached Zhang Jing this time. In the end, he was 60 years old and dismissed from office. He never recovered from his career. He ended here.
But this time Lin Yanchao personally ordered him, which was considered to be a way to save his career.
The impeachment of Zhang Jing reached its climax a few days later.
In addition to He Chuguang and Ma Xianggan, Zhang Shangxiang, Wu Wenzi, Yang Wenhuan, Censor Fang Wance and Cui Jingrong impeached Zhang Jing one after another.
Faced with the anger of all officials and the fierce impeachment, the emperor issued an order saying that he had already questioned Zhang Jing, which was called Ce Li to provide services. He asked Zhang Jing's party member Xing Shangzhi and the commander of the Jinyiwei Liu Shouyou who was dismissed from office.
At the same time, Shen Shixing was not allowed to speak out. Regarding Ma Xianggan, who accused Shen Shixing, the emperor ordered the Beizhen Fushi to ask questions.
The emperor thought that this move could calm the public's anger, but Zhang Yingdeng, the clerk of the official department, continued to impeach Zhang Jing.
Yang Wei, the Minister of Personnel, also submitted a memorial to the emperor, asking the emperor to obey the public opinion to dismiss Zhang Jing. The punishment is unclear at the moment, so he is willing to go with a fight.
The emperor issued an order to keep Yang Wei and ask him to continue to take matters in the Ministry of Personnel.
Shen Shixing, Xu Guo and Wang Xijue also submitted a memorial to the emperor not to punish Ma Xianggan and were willing to receive punishment with him. At that time, Shen Shixing, Xu Guo and Wang Xijue resigned and refused to leave, and no one in the cabinet was appointed for the time being.
The emperor was anxious. Faced with such a tough request from the cabinet, he could only withdraw his order and issue an order to pardon Ma Xianggan.
In this way, the three prime ministers will temporarily agree that the emperor will not go on strike for the time being and will come out to do things together.
At this moment, Gu Xiancheng, the middleman Tang Yaoqin, also wrote a memorial to impeach Zhang Jing again. The emperor was furious and ordered the two of them to be thirty-six.
When the emperor's hand arrived at the pavilion, Shen Shixing and others were shocked, so they rushed to the Meridian Gate to save the people. However, when Shen Shixing was at that time, Zhang Cheng was already supervising the Jinyiwei to beat Gu Xiancheng and Tang Yaoqin and the butts to the flesh and blood.
Taichangqing Li Shangzhi, the chief minister of Xue Sancai, and the chief minister of the official department, Chen and Jiao, and others, were given a letter to the court. Tang and the two pleaded for mercy, but the emperor ignored them.
Xu State, Wang Xijue resigned again to the emperor because of the emperor's assassination of the censorship, but the emperor refused.
The emperor also issued an imperial edict, ordering Wang Jiaping, who had been fully guarded at home, to be appointed as the Minister of Rites, to return to Beijing to work.
After receiving the order, Wang Jiaping expressed his refusal, saying that he was still very sad and did not recover.
The Minister of Revenue Song Wei also submitted a letter to the emperor to resign, but the emperor refused...
Even Zhu Geng, the Minister of Rites, submitted a memorial to the emperor to save the cost of the palace and cut unnecessary internal officials, so that the emperor would not report it.
This time, Zhang Jing was impeached, and officials continued to submit memorials. From south to north, both in Kedao and ministers of the Ministry of Temples impeached Zhang Jing with a single memorial. The emperor was furious and ordered Zhang Jing to be straight in the inner world and to be the admiral of the East Factory.
Not only did Zhang Jing not fall, but he gained greater power.
So a conspiracy theory spread among civil officials, saying that Zhang Jing plotted to support Concubine Zheng, who was the Concubine of Kun Palace, had a plan to establish a young child. The emperor was going to use Zhang Jing to eradicate all ministers who supported the Emperor Yuanzi.
As for the cabinet that Shen Shi was acting in the first place, his attitude was ambiguous...
At this moment, another problem occurred in Shuntian’s provincial examination. It turned out that after the provincial examination, some people reported that the provincial examination was unfair and some candidates cheated on the examination.
Because there are many juren participating in the big exams like Shuntian Yingtian’s provincial examination. After each exam, there are candidates who fail to take the exam to criticize the inside story of the imperial examinations and write letters to report that there are bad things, so this is not surprising.
So the emperor ordered the Ministry of Rites to review the Chinese Juren's test papers. This matter should have been presided over by Zhu Geng, the Minister of Rites and Wu Shi, the Left Censor, but Zhu Geng suddenly fell ill and said that he could not come out of illness, so he finally handed over it to Yu Shenxing, the Left Censor, and Wu Shi, the Left Censor, to take charge.
This time the test went wrong.
Yu Shenxing did not personally preside over the examination, but instead, Yu Kong Jian, the head of the ritual department, and Gao Gui, the priest of the temple, personally checked the papers and then reported them.
And the problem lies here. Yu Kongjian’s son-in-law is Jiang Shichang, a member of the Ministry of Revenue.
Jiang Shichang is the hardcore between Zhao Nanxing and Gu Xiancheng, and Yu Kong Jian and Gu Xiancheng are also closely related.
Yu Kongjian was of course meticulous in examining the test papers. Among them, Zheng Guowang, Zheng Guowang, Li Hong, and Twenty-third, Tu Dazhuang had obvious mistakes in the papers.
Twenty-one Mao Yigui, twenty-two Pan Zhixing, twenty-eight Ren Family Prime Ministers, thirty-two Li Ding, and seventy Zhang Yutang were found to have defects in words.
At that time, Yu Kongjian took the paper and Gao Gui. Gao Gui was furious and reported it to Yu Shenxing and Wu Shilai. They thought that the words and sentences were wrong and could be put in place, but there were obvious errors on the paper. Zheng Guowang, Li Hong and Tu Dazhuang should be deprived of fame and fortune. In particular, Tu Dazhuang's paper not only had obvious errors, but also had poor literature and science in the paper. The examiner Huang Hongxian should also be held accountable.
Not to mention Huang Hongxian, Li Hong is Shen Shixing's son-in-law.
Faced with these few volumes, Yu Shenxing didn't say a word and was silent. When Shen Shixing instructed Huang Hongxian to preside over the provincial examination, he knew there was something wrong. Now this matter is obviously related to Shen Shixing. Although he was angry in his heart, he had to say nothing.
But Wu Shilai, the censor of the Zuodu, wanted to suppress the matter and protect all the eight people.
Yu Kongjian, Gao Gui and Wu Shilai argued in front of the officials of the Ministry of Rites. In the end, Wu Shilai used the identity of the top leader of the Censorate to suppress the matter. Yu Shenxing, the only person present who could overturn this view, did not object on the spot.
However, Gao Gui and Yu Kongjian couldn't swallow this breath, and Yu Kongjian was a disciple of Shen Shixing, and it was difficult to turn against each other.
Therefore, Gao Gui, with a tacit consent of Shenxing, left Wu Shilai and wrote a memorial to report the matter. In addition to Li Hong, Gao Gui also mentioned another Chinese juren Wang Heng, who was the son of Wang Xijue.
Gao Gui had a sentence in his memorial saying, "The power is a culprit, and justice is all wrong."
