The Lianghuai Yu Salt case is being handled here, and the task force over there, led by Li Santai, on Yu Maoxue's "false words and alienation between the emperor and his ministers" is also not idle. Yu Maoxue deserved to be punished, and his bones are still very hard, and he persisted in the interrogation room for several days
, I just say that I am loyal, and this "Chen Wu Shi Shu" is all for the emperor.
Li Santai saw that the torture methods he had used for many years were ineffective, and with the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, he resorted to the method of "boiling the eagle" instructed by Zhu Yijun.
After irradiating him with strong light, pricking him with needles and splashing water, and depriving him of sleep for three consecutive days and nights, and asking him the same questions over and over again, he actually pried open his mouth while he was in a trance.
In fact, these questions are very simple: "How old is your son?" "How old is your daughter?"... "Who ordered you to submit the memorial?"
Li Santai never expected that such a simple method would be more effective than the various tortures Jin Yiwei had used before. Surprised, he expanded the results of the battle and finally found out the information that Zhang Siwei wanted to alienate the emperor and his ministers and take advantage of it.
According to the confession provided by Yu Maoxue, Li Santai also arrested the intermediary who was responsible for the connection and sent him to prison. Under three circumstances, the entire inside story was clarified.
It turned out that when Yang Bo resigned last year, Zhang Juzheng reached a deal with Zhang Siwei, and he would be introduced to the cabinet after he completed the "Records of King Sejong". Unexpectedly, Zhu Yijun intervened, and Wang Guoguang became the head of Dongge University ahead of schedule.
scholar.
Under the Ming Dynasty, if one is not an extremely holy family member, the ranking of the cabinet is usually based on the time when Wang Guoguang entered the cabinet. Not to mention Wang Guoguang entering the cabinet a year early, even if he entered the cabinet one day early, Zhang Siwei would always be ranked behind Wang Guangguang.
Although Zhang Siwei is fourteen years younger than Wang Guoguang, almost a generation behind him. But Zhang Siwei himself is a medicine pot. Compared with Wang Guoguang, a strong and muscular sex embryo, he probably would have left first before Wang Guoguang died.
.
Later, it was found out that Wang Guoguang was able to join the cabinet because he edited "Wanli Accounting Records" and Jane was in the emperor's heart. The emperor also said in front of Zhang Juzheng, "Wang Shangshu can be called the 'strategist'." This holy family member could not catch up with him by himself.
.
They also compiled books, compiled history books by themselves, and Wang Guoguang compiled accounting books. With the emperor's current temperament, Zhang Siwei thought that he had no competitiveness at all in terms of holy family members. Doesn't this mean that he has no hope of being the first minister in his life? His mentality is a bit
collapsed.
He was originally a person who had a strong desire for power. Although Zhang Juzheng repeatedly promised him that the "Records of Emperor Shizong" would be compiled next year and would immediately introduce him to the cabinet. However, Zhang Siwei felt that his fate was still in his own hands after this incident.
Driven by the desire for profit, he forgot Wang Chonggu's warning and ordered Yu Mao to learn how to play Zhang Juzheng and alienate the emperor and his ministers - he did not expect to be able to join the chief minister, but just planted a nail in the emperor's heart. After all, opportunities always favor the well-prepared
people.
Wang Guoguang is an ally of Zhang Juzheng. If one day Zhang Juzheng falls, Wang Guangguang will be uneasy about his position and he will come from behind. If Zhang Juzheng does not fall, this memorial also gives him a warning - there will be a price to pay if he does not keep his promise.
Yu Maoxue was able to be selected because he took refuge with Yang Bo when he was appointed county magistrate. He was already a member of the camp. How could he not listen to Zhang Siwei's words? What's more, he still had a thousand taels of writing brushes.
In fact, this memorial did play a role in driving a wedge between the emperor and his ministers in the original time and space. Yu Maoxue later rehabilitated himself from "never employed" and finally became a third-rank minister.
In Zhang Siwei's view, it is normal for ministers to support the scientific community, and the emperor should also like to see it. If the court is harmonious, can the emperor still sleep?
He judged that Yu Maoxue would be exiled or dismissed from office at best. Even if Zhang Juzheng was angry to death, he would still have to abide by the unspoken rules of civil servants. The most important thing was to give Yu Maoxue never to be hired. It was impossible to imprison him. - In the original time and space, this was indeed the case.
However, something unexpected happened to him. The emperor, who had considerable political literacy, actually lost consciousness and had Yu Maoxue imprisoned directly.
After all, Zhang Siwei had never stood in Zhang Juzheng's position and could not see the political scene between the emperor and the chief minister of the cabinet. It is not surprising that there would be misjudgments. His uncle was even more cunning, but didn't Zhang Siwei not listen to him?
?
Li Santai handed over the memorial, and the task was successfully completed. After seeing the situation, Zhu Yijun sneered a few times. He told Li Santai not to leak it, and locked Yu Maoxue in the sky prison like that, and would not be released without an imperial edict.
...
At this time, Wang Chonggu, the governor of Xuanda, took the urgent letter from Zhang Siwei and cursed: "What a bastard! Are you a big guy who offends Zhang Juzheng? You're a waste of time! You're a bastard!"
It turned out that Zhang Siwei saw that the emperor did not play his cards according to common sense, and it felt like he had been hit by a stick, and stars were flying out randomly.
This Yu Maoxue was sent to prison. It stands to reason that in order to start a new plan for his family in the future, he must be gritting his teeth and asking for a first name.
But as Wang Chonggu said, Zhang Siwei is greedy for power, narrow-minded, and just a politician. He puts himself in the role of Yu Maoxue - he will definitely be able to recruit in a fight. If I can't be an official, I will go back and be an official.
Isn’t it nice to be a billionaire?
Thinking of the terrible consequences of being disliked by the emperor, Zhang Siwei almost felt regretful. He quickly wrote a long letter, explaining clearly the cause and effect, and asked the person in charge to send it to his uncle as soon as possible to find a suitable idea.
Wang Chonggu scolded him, but Zhang Siwei was the person closest to the cabinet in the Jin Party. At this time, he gave up, and the many years of training and the large amount of gold and silver he had paid were all wasted.
Having no choice, Wang Chonggu resisted the urge to scold him and wrote a reply to his nephew. The central idea was: "Stop it! Zhang Juzheng is angry, and you have to hold it back! The emperor will never announce the truth about this case. Yu Maoxue is in heaven."
Just stay in jail until the emperor wants to make use of you or give you up - then we will know whether Yu Maoxue lives or dies."
Of course, Wang Jianchuan's letter must not be so customary. His original words are as follows: "Zhang Jiangling has a far-reaching vision, full of determination, and his ambition is to be remembered in the annals of history. If he breaks a promise without permission, his party will be so large.
, we must not do it easily. You are humble and petty. The only word 'forbearance' at this moment is spitting in your face and you will have to wait until you do it. Just stay calm like this - until they invite you into the cabinet."
"Your Majesty is working hard to govern, but at this time, he has revealed his arbitrary intentions. Inside and outside the palace walls, as soon as your Majesty hears the rewards and punishments of the imperial court, he gradually becomes determined in his heart. When I want to use you in the future, how can I make you do something wrong with your merits?
?Yu Mao’s academic achievements will definitely not be successful.”
"However, because of this concern, you have taken the initiative to return to Jiangling. Remember the word perseverance - you can be patient until you enter the cabinet, and you can part ways with him. The emperor will be happy to see this."
Wang Chonggu also wrote a lot of his judgment on the court situation, and asked his nephew Wang Quan, who was in Beijing on business, to take it with him and give it to Zhang Siwei.
After Zhang Siwei finished reading the letter at home, Wang Quan asked for the letter again, put it on a candle and burned it in front of Zhang Siwei. He smiled and said to Zhang Siwei: "My uncle gave me instructions. This letter contains many words that speculate on heaven's heart."
, you can’t stay.”
Zhang Siwei did not feel dissatisfied, but frowned and said: "When I wrote to my uncle, the case of the remaining salt had not yet been released. Now I heard that the salt merchant Wang Gongyu had already confessed several officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs. This Wang Gong
Yu and Wang Guoguang have long since inherited the family and recognized Wang Guangguang as their uncle."
"In this way, when Wang Gongyu is appointed as a minister, he is probably giving up his car to protect his commander, and using a few members of staff in exchange for Wang Guangjing. If I had known this, I would just give him a push at this time. Why use Yu Maoxue?"
After hearing this, Wang Quan secretly thought that this four-dimensional picture had lived on a dog for forty-eight years. He smiled and said: "Second brother, when I came this time, my uncle gave me many instructions, asking you not to act rashly at this time. The more you move, the worse you will get."
Wrong. If you attack Wang Guoguang again at this time, you may not be able to tolerate Zhang Juzheng. How will you deal with yourself then?"
Zhang Siwei nodded after hearing this and sighed: "Oh, why does my uncle need to tell me this? Of course I know it. I just said this just because I regretted what I did before."
Although Wang Quan was engaged in business, his friends were all from the families of powerful officials. He did not enter the officialdom because of his failure in the imperial examination. His level was higher than that of Zhang Siwei. After hearing this, he laughed and said: "With my brother's knowledge, Wang Gongyu
The reason why Wang Guangguang was arrested should be because the emperor wants to divide the alliance between Wang Guangguang and Zhang Juzheng - or as I said, how has the power been used? The emperor has a lot of tricks on Wang Guangguang, this guy has long been the emperor's loyal dog, right?
