The difference between emperors and ordinary people is that when looking at disputes between people, they often don't look at the results, let alone the process.
Because to the emperor, there are not many things in the world that cannot be controlled. The results and processes can be changed at will, which is not so important.
So most of the time, the emperor only paid attention to the motivations of the characters, especially when it came to character disputes.
Li Zhi obviously understood this, and took the lead in attacking again, telling the emperor:
"In recent decades, cabinet ministers have had the custom of recruiting followers from Shanren as a way of showing off.
For example, Yan Song had Wu Kuo, Xu Jie had Shen Mingchen, Yuan Wei had Wang Zhideng, and Li Chunfang also recruited Xu Wenchang, all of whom were gifted as commoners.
I don’t know what Shen Shixing wants to show off by condoning such a wanton disciple as Lin Tailai? Can the chief assistant be domineering? "
Li Zhi's rhetoric was very heartbreaking. The words "overbearing chief minister" would only remind the emperor of Zhang Juzheng.
Next, Shen Shoufu's response is very critical. If it's not right, it will lose its holy meaning.
But at this time, Shen Shoufu was stunned for a moment, which made everyone else in the palace feel a little strange.
Although Shen Shixing looks like a "good old guy" on the outside, it does not mean that he is clumsy. On the contrary, he is very quick in thinking.
Therefore, it is rare for Shen Shoufu to suddenly become stunned when he is playing in front of you, and everyone does not understand what happened today.
After coming back to his senses, Shen Shoufu asked Li Zhi: "Does Zhang Juzheng keep any guests?"
Li Zhi replied: "Among all the cabinet ministers in the past, Zhang Juzheng was the only one who did not."
This is a fact that many people know and cannot be blatantly fabricated.
Shen Shoufu then said to Emperor Wanli: "I don't want to be like Zhang Juzheng. I just accepted a fellow countryman as a guest. There is no point in showing off."
Li Zhi: "."
After fighting for so long, he knew Shen Shixing's style of words and deeds very well, and what he said just now was not Shen Shixing's traditional style at all.
The sentence "I don't want to be like Zhang Juzheng" is enough to resolve the sudden feeling of a new guest.
But Li Zhi had a rather arrogant personality and relied on the emperor's cronies. He aggressively said to Shen Shixing: "You, a disciple of yours, have committed many crimes. How can you explain this?"
Shen Shixing asked: "Li Shaoqing listed too many crimes, what is the focus? Is it smashing the door of your house?"
Regarding this issue, Li Zhi could only say: "Of course, the most important thing is to beat up dozens of police officers and rush into Chengyi's house and smash them!"
In the eyes of everyone, Shen Shixing was suddenly stunned again and frowned slightly, as if he was struggling with something in his heart.
I don’t know what happened to Shen Shoufu today. He was always in a daze, just like a character in a play on stage. He was always stuck thinking of words when singing, which made people extremely uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Shen Shoufu quickly came to his senses and said lightly: "The two things Li Shaoqing said are actually the same thing!
First, Liu Shiyan, the uncle of Chengyi, colluded with the police school and broke into Lin Tailai's residence, smashed and looted, and then Lin Tailai broke into Uncle Chengyi's house, smashed and looted in revenge.
So when it comes to talking about it, this matter is equivalent to a fight between the two parties, and it cannot be said to be a crime."
This time it was Li Zhi who was stunned for a moment. Shen Shixing really changed his style today!
I'm afraid your retainer named Lin injured more than a hundred people in two games, or did he beat each other?
In the past, Shen Shoufu, as a gentle gentleman, would not openly say such cold and inhumane words!
Everyone else just feels that the word "fight" is really useful. Of course, the prerequisite is that the person's backer must also be useful.
Regarding today's attack on Shen Shixing, Li Zhi also had several sets of plans, targeting various possibilities.
After hearing Shen Shixing's forced defense in the direction of "fighting", Li Zhi immediately took out another memorial, presented it to Emperor Wanli, and said:
"Sincerity Uncle Liu Shiyan was seriously injured and looked indecently to the king, so he asked his ministers to submit a memorial on his behalf.
According to Liu Shiyan, he had nothing to do with going to the Sanwu Guild Hall's police school.
Therefore, Lin Tailai broke into Uncle Chengyi's house purely out of spite, let alone fighting each other!"
This round, Shen Shoufu was no longer stunned, "That makes people confused. If Liu Shiyan, the sincere uncle, hadn't colluded to retaliate, who actually assigned the police officer school to the Sanwu Guild Hall?"
The first assistant's face was expressionless and his tone was flat, as if he was repeating someone else's words.
Li Zhi said tit for tat: "The School of Police Enforcement Officers has the right to visit and conduct investigations in the capital. It is not a small accident for a sincere hero to have his leg broken in the street.
Therefore, it was natural for the police officer to go to the Sanwu Guild Hall and question Lin Tailai. However, Lin Tailai maliciously resisted and attacked and injured dozens of officers before fleeing to the Shen Mansion to hide."
Shen Shixing was still unhurried and said like an endorsement:
"If you just want to cross-examine, you can go to the 35th Official School. But that day, the Sanwu Guild Hall went to the 60th or 70th Official School. This was obviously for questioning.
According to the imperial system, those who questioned ministers at the Jinyiwei Official School had to obtain imperial approval. Although Lin Tailai was not a minister, he was Jieyuan who came to Beijing to take the exam, so he could not be the same as the common people.
So at least the Factory Guard officer must get permission from the person in charge of the Factory Guard before the Factory Guard Officer School can ask Lin Tailai."
Having said this, Shen Shoufu suddenly turned to the governor Liu Shouyou, who was in charge of the royal guards, and asked:
"May I ask Governor Liu, did the dozens of police officers who stormed the Sanwu Guildhall have your permission?"
Liu Shouyou hesitated for a while before replying: "The holy driver was returning from Tianshou Mountain at that time. I was accompanying him and I had not heard anything about the Sanwu Guild Hall."
Shen Shoufu continued: "Sending out dozens of people in such a big way cannot be random and accidental.
So there must be someone in charge. If Governor Liu doesn’t know about it, who could it be?"
After hearing Shen Shoufu's words, other people in the palace couldn't help but think of Zhang Jing, the eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch who was the ceremonial supervisor, and the governor of the East Factory.
If Liu Shou, the Commander-in-Chief of the Jinyi Guards, did not admit his knowledge, he could only associate it with the factory boss, even Emperor Wanli was no exception.
But no one told Zhang Jing. When there was no clear interest, among these civil and military ministers who could stand in the palace, who would go to the trouble of offending the admiral of Dongchang?
It's just that everyone is secretly worried. Could it be that Shen Shoufu wants to attack Zhang Jing?
If so, it would be much more exciting than Li Zhi biting the first assistant! The first assistant fighting the factory boss is definitely a political battle of the annual drama level!
After whetting everyone's appetite, Shen Shixing turned around smoothly and said to Emperor Wanli:
"Since even Liu Shouyou didn't know about it, it must be Liu Shiyan, the sincere uncle, who secretly colluded with the illegal police school to take revenge on Lin Tailai through the hands of the police school!
Except for Liu Shiyan, who had his leg broken due to a dispute, others had no motive to collude and gather dozens of police officers just to go to the Sanwu Guild Hall to smash, smash, and rob.
In addition, sincerity uncle Liu Shiyan said in the memorial that he had nothing to do with the dozens of police schools, which seems not to be true, and may even be intended to deceive the Holy Lord!"
Li Zhi: "."
The offensive created with so much hard work and effort was overthrown in one fell swoop.
Today's Shen Shixing is very unusual! This kind of unreasonable yet oppressive logic reminded him of a person!
That person used unreasonable logic to suppress Zhao Yongxian at yesterday's gathering!
In fact, Li Zhi knows best what happened in the Sanwu Guild Hall incident.
The reason why he dared to be arrogant and domineering in the court was not only because he was favored by the emperor, but also because he had a close relationship with the factory guards and eunuchs.
Zhang Jing, the admiral of Dongchang, had a boss named Xing Shangzhi, and he had a very good relationship with Li Zhi.
In this era, the great eunuchs all had a manager outside the palace, whose status was similar to that of a "housekeeper" in an ordinary large household, and they handled various chores on their behalf.
Therefore, Xing Shangzhi, who is the boss of Zhang Jing, the factory owner, is Zhang Jing’s absolute confidant.
A few days ago, dozens of police officers rushed to the Sanwu Guild Hall. In fact, it was all arranged by Xing Shangzhi after being entrusted by Li Zhi.
The plan at the time was this: the police school would first conceal its identity and get involved.
After they started taking action, they justifiably arrested Lin Tailai, a retainer of the Shen family. Who dared Lin Tailai to beat up the police officer school?
After holding Lin Tailai in your hand, you can roll it into a round shape and flatten it, and then grab Shen Shoufu.
Unexpectedly, the plan changed. After the porcelain was over, Lin Tailai actually attacked dozens of official schools and escaped without a trace!
It was outrageous that sixty or seventy people could not catch one, and it directly messed up the plan.
However, the original plan can still be continued after being revised. After all, the disciple named Lin has done many evil things and committed numerous crimes. Although no one has been arrested, he can still be used as a basis to attack the chief minister.
But unexpectedly, Shen Shixing insisted on Uncle Chengyi and insisted that the police school was run by Uncle Chengyi.
In this way, the incidents of vandalism, looting, and vandalism at the Sanwu Guild Hall and the vandalism at the Chengyi Bo Mansion can be combined and classified as a fight.
In fact, it is very simple to crack the logic of Shen Shoufu.
As long as it can be pointed out who was the main messenger behind the police officer school who broke into the Sanwu Guild Hall that day, Shen Shoufu's logic will be self-defeating.
As long as the police school that Lin Tailai attacked was not a collusion of the sincere uncles, then it would not constitute a fight for revenge!
But the problem is that it is impossible for Li Zhi to tell that the main messenger is Xing Shangzhi, or himself, let alone the factory owner Zhang Jing.
Just when Li Zhi was at a loss and thought he had failed today, he saw Zhang Jing, the admiral of Dongchang, striding into the Wenhua Hall.
Then he reported to Emperor Wanli: "I know that dozens of police officers went to the Sanwu Guild Hall that day."
The ministers were all surprised. They did not expect that Zhang Jing would take the initiative to take the responsibility.
Then I heard Mr. Zhang staring at Shen Shixing unceremoniously and saying domineeringly:
“Your Majesty has made it clear that Liu Shiyan’s leg was broken in Chongwen Gate and will be investigated.
Therefore, the police officer went to the Sanwu Guild Hall to interrogate the suspect Lin Tailai. Why not?
No matter what the reason is, if Lin Tailai dares to assault the police officer school, it is a serious crime!"
Zhang Jing was the main force in bringing down Feng Bao, the eunuch boss of the previous generation, and the emperor also gained credit.
Because he had little education and could not do the work of processing memorials, he could only take charge of the East Factory.
In terms of daily behavior, Mr. Zhang is also very domineering.
At first, the grandson of Xu Jie, the former chief minister, became a minor official because of his kindness, but he clashed with Xing Shangzhi, Zhang Changgong's boss.
In the end, Xu Jie's grandson was forced to offer a large sum of money to beg for mercy, and then had to kowtow at Zhang Jingmen to apologize.
