Ge Shouli asked one sentence, and half of the important ministers on the viewing platform changed their expressions. Lu Shusheng, the Minister of Rites, thought to himself: "This old man didn't become the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Is this a broken pot?" Then he thought again: "This old man didn't become the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."
The coffin may have to run away! But if this hornet's nest is poked, can you run out of the court safely?"
Wang Lin never expected that Ge Shouli would ask this topic that everyone in the civil and military dynasties knew tacitly. He was stunned. He thought to himself, you are a thief who has also served as the governor of the household department and the minister of the household department. You have done all those silly things in the household department.
Do you wipe it clean you?! How dare you?!
Seeing his expression change, Ge Shouli knew that his defense had been broken, so he shouted loudly: "Before I came to the throne, were you still harboring treacherous intentions? Why don't you tell the truth!"
Wang Lin was knocked unconscious by Ge Shouli's stick, and his psychological defense was shattered. He actually said, "Your Majesty, all these salaries have been divided. Everyone in the Ministry of Household Affairs, Ministry of War and the Beijing Camp has a share!" After saying this,
He thought to himself, Ge Shouli, if you resist, we will see whether you die or everyone dies together!
There was a roar on the viewing platform, and all the ministers felt their legs weak. They thought to themselves, what kind of rhythm is this? A soldier on parade in the Beijing camp dropped a knife. Will half of the civil and military officials of the court be hacked to death today?
When Zhu Yijun saw Ge Shouli asking about a bunch of bezoar dog treasures, he praised Ge Shouli's integrity in his heart, knowing that Ge Shouli must be honest.
Xiong Dunpu, the head of the Ministry of War, came out and said: "Master General Xian, in the first year of Longqing, the former emperor rewarded the frontier troops, and some of the soldiers who reported to the Ministry of War were insincere, and it is best to take advantage of the reward to eliminate them. At that time, the General Xian said: 'This imperial court is disrespectful.
, is it Jia Yu? 'Why is it like this today?"
Xiong Dunpu, nicknamed Lu Hai, was a Jinshi of Xinwei in the fifth year of Longqing's reign. He was selected as a commoner and a good scholar, and later moved to head the Ministry of War. His father, Xiong Guo, was one of the eight most talented men in the Jiajing Dynasty. Because his teacher was Zhang Juzheng, he was somewhat courageous.
The point of questioning Ge Shouli at this time is that in the past, the frontier troops were deprived of pay and reported to the court. At that time, you said not to pursue it, so as not to cause the court to have grudges against the border generals and soldiers. Why do you want to expose this matter today? This is not a grudge.
In the hearts of soldiers and horses?
Tan Lun was listening and shouted angrily: "This is the same as that! Xiong Dunpu is talking nonsense!"
He bent down and began to read: "Your Majesty, our imperial military equipment is in disrepair, and the matter of wasting money cannot be mixed with today's affairs. This is a serious problem, and we need to deal with it slowly."
Zhang Juzheng saw that the big flaw was exposed in a few words, and he praised Ge Shouli in his heart. With a heavy face, he bent down and said: "Your Majesty, I cannot agree with what I said. Since the imperial court has the intention of eradicating the old and introducing the new, this is the right thing to do."
Tokiya!"
When Zhu Yijun heard this, there was no expression on his face. He nodded and said, "What the old gentleman said is, Wang Lin, keep talking!"
Behind the British Duke, Zhu Shitai's heart was beating like a drum, and he looked directly at the faces of the British Duke and other distinguished nobles. The British Duke saw that Ting Jing had exposed the serious shortcomings of the dynasty, and knew that the dynasty had begun, so he did not dare to act at this time.
Ma Zhiming. Besides, what should I say when I leave the class at this time? Could it be said that this has been the right thing to do all these years?
Wang Lin was sweating profusely and said: "Your Majesty, when King Dingxiang was seriously ill, I selected soldiers and horses for this review. At that time, half of the troops in the Beijing camp were working in the minister's house in the middle of the capital. I beg you to tell me.
Grandma, how can any family be released for training?" At this point, the grievances came to my heart, and I knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
Zhu Yijun's face seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and he glanced at the ministers below. All the ministers lowered their heads and did not dare to raise their heads to look at him.
Luo Wanhua, who was sent by the Hanlin Academy to write a poem to praise the Grand Parade, came out from the last class and said to the ministers: "Everyone heard what the king's minister said, but didn't say a word to match it?"
All the ministers secretly scolded Luo Wanhua for being troublesome, but when questioned by the Hanlin official, they really couldn't open their mouths, and their faces were all red and ashamed.
Zhang Juzheng left his duties, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I had dozens of soldiers from the Beijing camp at home before, and they will be released from the front during this review." When all the ministers saw him coming out to speak, they were all shy and ashamed, and they all knelt down.
Kowtow to apologize.
Zhu Yijun said: "I have just said that I am not afraid of things getting worse, I am just afraid that the situation cannot be sorted out. It is a good thing that the pustule has been squeezed out today. We will discuss it later. Wang Lin, do you have anything else to say?"
When Wang Lin heard this, he looked at the faces of Yang Bing and others nearby and saw that they were all as exhausted as if they had been beaten by frost. He sighed inwardly, wiped his nose and tears, and said in a choked voice: "Your Majesty, your Majesty.
I have nothing to say, today the emperor executed me and others, and I have no complaints."
Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this, and motioned to Ge Shouli to continue asking. At this time, the internal officials who were taking notes were already there, and they brought Tingjun's records to Wang Lin for his signature. Ge Shouli felt uncomfortable when he saw that the surrounding ministers looked at him unkindly.
Yes, he coughed, cleared his throat, and said to Yang Bing and others: "What does Uncle Zhang Wu have to say?"
Yang Bing knew whether his head could be saved in this move, so he kowtowed in tears and said: "Reporting to the General Constitution, since I have been serving as Prime Minister in Beijing, I dare not say that I have been working hard and sleeping all night. It is really heartbreaking! Just now, Wang Shilang said that he begged me to complain.
, so true!”
"It's just that time is short. Although I have been training non-stop throughout the year, the capital camp has been decaying for a long time, and it is difficult to recover from the serious illness! Please give me another half year, even if I can't train soldiers like Ji Zhen, I will
If you dare to issue a military order, the Beijing camp will be no worse than other border soldiers!"
Ge Shouli turned back to look at the emperor and saw that he had no expression and could not understand. He asked Yang Bing if he had anything else to say. Yang Bing then rambled a few words that he had only been here for a short time and could not say anything else.
Ge Shouli then looked at Wu Jijue and others who were kneeling behind Yang Bing, and asked: "Wu Jijue, Li Huan, Gu Huan, Zhao Zuzheng, Li Yingchen, Guo Yingqian, what do you have to say?"
Marquis of Fengcheng Li Huan opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Wang Lin had shaken off his old man just now, and any further excuses at this time were in vain. He sighed and shut up.
Ge Shouli turned around and faced Zhu Yijun and said: "Your Majesty, these people all plead guilty and have no excuse." The internal official who wrote the transcript wrote, "Ashamed and speechless, unable to excuse". They were tied and could not sign, so they all took their fingerprints.
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun showed a sarcastic look on his face and said with a sneer: "Okay, let's deal with it one by one. First the easy and then the difficult. Let's talk about the Beijing camp occupation first. Will you still use the Beijing camp soldiers in the future? If so.
My family's income is meager, and I am afraid of losing my dignity, so I am writing a memorial to you, and I will use my own funds to hire a long-term attendant, concierge, etc. for you."
Zhang Juzheng knelt down and said: "The emperor's refusal to pursue the case is a great gift from heaven. How can I show my dignity to use this? I asked for a fine myself, as a warning to those who come after me."
All the ministers followed Zhang Juzheng and knelt down and said: "I ask for your own salary and thank the emperor for his kindness."
After Zhu Yijun heard this, they all screamed. He took a breath and said: "This time the collective fine is three months, and a light punishment will be given. As the saying goes, no heavy hammer is needed to sound the drum - this time the law does not punish everyone, so that's it. If it happens again.
Whoever has such a thing in his family will be severely punished for rebelling against the army." All the ministers responded solemnly.
Zhu Yijun said again: "The second thing is about the rewards and punishments of the military parade, and the third thing is about the shortcomings of the country and the government. The third thing affects the whole body, and the military and state matters are more important. We will discuss it later.
, let’s discuss rewards and punishments first.”
My soldier Tan Lun heard what the emperor said, knelt down and said: "I thought that during the grand parade in Jizhen, the troops and horses were majestic, and the orders were prohibited. They are sincerely the best soldiers in the world, and they should be praised. But the kindness comes from above, and I dare not speak nonsense.
.”
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Juzheng, "What do you think, Mr. Zhang?"
Zhang Juzheng reported back: "I think what Tan Shangshu said is right. I also ask the emperor to personally judge."
Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "Where is Qi Jiguang?" Qi Jiguang had been summoned by the Zhongguan to be waiting under the stage. At this time, he went up to the viewing platform and bowed politely.
Zhu Yijun said: "Last time I added you as the Taibao, and this time I added you as the Shaobao. Well, I will leave some room for your future progress and give you a bullfighting uniform." Qi Jiguang burst into tears with excitement and knelt down to thank him. Next to him was Yang Bing.
When I saw it, I gritted my teeth with hatred.
Zhu Yijun pondered for a while and then said: "This time you lead three thousand troops. If you give a heavy reward, those who stayed on the side wall may be resentful - why not give a reward of seventy thousand silver, and all the soldiers in Ji Town will receive the reward together. What does the old man think?"
?”
When Zhang Juzheng asked, he replied: "The emperor's sage is profound, and I have no objection."
Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "If there are still ten thousand left, give it to Qi Jiguang himself!" Qi Jiguang didn't hear clearly, so he kowtowed and shed tears to thank him.
None of the ministers around him understood what the emperor meant by "the remaining 10,000", and they didn't dare to ask on this occasion. Yang Bing heard it clearly, half of his body was numb, and there was a roar in his ears. The emperor said no more.
Nothing, not a word was heard.
Qi Jiguang thanked him for the reward and stepped aside. Zhu Yijun said: "Now that the reward has been given, you can discuss the punishment."
Cao Jin, the right minister of the Ministry of War, came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the defense of the country in the capital camp is very important, and there is no military in the world more important than this. Today, Wang Lin and others are playing with the law and putting the safety of the world at risk! Shang!
If there are those who eat the blood of soldiers and greedy for free money, their crimes are unspeakable, and they should be punished by military law and punished in a big way!"
As soon as Cao Jin said this, except for Yang Bing and others whose faces were ashen, half of the court officials secretly let out a sigh of relief. Although they did not dare to agree with him openly, they all secretly praised Cao Jin in their hearts.
At this time, the anger on Zhu Yijun's face had already faded. Hearing this, an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile appeared on his face. He asked Ge Shouli and others: "What did Ting Jie say?"
Ge Shouli, Li Youzi, and Wang Zhigao discussed in a low voice and replied: "Your Majesty, I believe that Wang Lin, Chen Yu, and Yang Bing are not guilty of death, and the rest of them are following Cao Shilang and begging for the Holy Order."
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun asked the British Duke and others: "What did the Duke say?"
After hearing this, the British Duke still knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I remember that their ancestors fought for the country and made some small achievements, so please show mercy to your Majesty."
Zhu Shitai knew that if he didn't save Wu Jijue and the others today, Tingjiu would decide later that they would definitely shout something. He had no choice but to kneel down behind him and kowtow: "My father once was in charge of the capital camp, although I didn't say anything."
It is my father's fault, but it cannot cover up my father's laziness in military affairs. I ask the emperor to take back the king's title as a warning to those who come after me. Please be kind to Wu Jijue and others and spare their lives."
As the nobles begged for mercy again, the ministers on the viewing platform were divided into two groups. One group still wanted to kill, while the other group was speaking to plead for mercy. There was chaos for a while.
Zhu Yijun looked calm and tapped the long table in front of the throne twice with his fingers. Zhang Hong shouted: "Shut up and listen to the emperor's decree!" All the ministers were silent.
Zhu Yijun pondered for a moment and suddenly asked Wu Jijue and others: "Are you convinced?"
Wu Jijue saw that Tingjiu's results were out, but the intercessors did not persuade Zhu Yijun, whose head had been cut off in half. He finally broke down and said: "Your Majesty, I have bribed the leaders of the Beijing camp to the ministers a few days ago. The general will wait for the situation through Dongchang.
Chen Jumi told the emperor that he had the merit of being the leader, so please spare his life!" Although his body was tied up, he was still bending over and kowtowing like a beetle.
When Wu Jijue said these words, everyone on the auditorium was dumbfounded and said in their hearts: "Now it's all over, everyone will die!"
