Chapter 158: The Secret of Yuzha Reveals the Universe
Jinyikou Yamen is at the intersection of Jiangmi Lane and Jinyikou Back Street. However, the Yamen and Beizhen Fusi have two separate doors. Historically, civil servants and military generals would deliberately stay away from here unless necessary. Li Dongyang, as the cabinet assistant
Chen was naturally no exception. At this moment, when the carriage stopped at the gate of Fusi, Beizhen, not to mention the driver shivering, even when he opened the curtains and looked at this seemingly inconspicuous yamen, he felt extremely uncomfortable, and suddenly
I lost my original intention of going in and talking.
So, in just a moment, Ye Guang, the commander of the Jinyiwei Command, who heard the news, hurriedly walked out. With a calm face, he was extremely surprised. You know, these civil servants all feared the factory guards to the core, even if he
He was finally praised by these civil servants as a fair prison, but no one was willing to deal with him, let alone Li Dongyang, a junior minister in the cabinet.
He walked to the carriage, but Li Dongyang did not get out of the car. He only asked the coachman to stay away for the time being, and then waved to Ye Guang to get on the carriage and talk. However, the conversation lasted only a stick of incense, and Ye Guang got out of the carriage.
After cupping his hands, he watched the carriage leave. It wasn't until the carriage left Jiangmi Lane that he turned around and walked back, but when he reached the door, he saw Li Yifeng coming out without a formal appearance.
"Sir, why does Mr. Li Ge, the great god, come to you? Our Beizhen Fusi has not arrested any important people in the past few days. Even if he intercedes, it doesn't make sense?"
"If Guan is talking about favors, does Mr. Li Ge need to come in person? He's here to inquire about people." Ye Guang had thought it through now, and said calmly as he walked forward, "Today's incident with the Ministry of Officials
You must have heard about the lawsuit? I heard that the three people in the cabinet accompanied the prince to listen. It seems that Mr. Li Ge had something in mind, so he came to inquire about the Yingtian Mansion Court hearing Zhao Qin's case.
, then how did Xu Xun question Zhao Qin? Fortunately, I remembered it well, and I told him that if he wanted to investigate in detail, there was a file that could be checked that day, so he went away with satisfaction. "
Li Yifeng clicked his tongue when he heard this: "Isn't it just the earldom of Xing'an? Why is it so grand?"
The gray-haired Ye Guang looked up at the full moon above his head, smiled slightly and said: "It would be so simple. Look, the palace is very lively tonight!"
Ye Guang has been in Jinyiwei for decades, and he naturally knows the central system very well. It seems that he has spoken a word of warning. Even late at night, most people have gone to bed early, and it can be seen that the most talkative people on weekdays
The elegant Supervisor of Ceremonies shuttled quickly between the cabinet and the Qianqing Palace, and there was a constant exchange of letters and secrets.
It is completely different from the conjecture in the novel. After Xuande, the emperor did not easily summon his cabinet ministers outside of attending lectures and readings at court. Emperor Hongzhi, who was known as the master of the ZTE, only summoned at most two cabinet ministers in a year.
Only three times. If there is a consultation, most of the time it is passed to the Chief of Ceremonies with his handprint or pen, and then the palm print or pen is passed to the Chief of Ceremonies to write in writing, and then they convey it to the cabinet. If there is something wrong with the cabinet, the same is true.
Go up to heaven to listen. In addition to such cumbersome exchanges of opinions, there is a slightly simpler method, that is, the emperor approves the holy will, and the ceremonial supervisor sends the sealed imperial letter to the cabinet for consultation with the cabinet ministers, and the cabinet then secretly
It can be exposed and presented, and vice versa. But this kind of thing usually only goes back and forth. How is it like the scene tonight?
It was already the middle of the night, and the lights in the East Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace were still brightly lit. After seeing the announcement, a middle-aged eunuch came in panting, knelt down and handed in another secret disclosure with both hands. Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He asked calmly: "Which gentleman submitted this time?"
"Replying to Long Live Lord, it's Mr. Li."
"Oh, Mr. Li is taking a break today and tomorrow, but he has returned to the palace again?"
Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyebrows and immediately nodded to indicate that it should be presented. When the secret was revealed, he personally cut open the envelope sealed with the imperial silver seal with a paper knife and took out two pieces of letter paper from it. At first, because of Liu Jian's The secret with Xie Qian was revealed, and he was inevitably still unhappy from before, but as he looked at it, his frown that had been furrowed for a long time gradually relaxed, and finally he smiled happily.
"As expected of Mr. Li."
Several people from the Qianqing Palace who were extremely close to Emperor Hongzhi agreed to be on hand. The four leading figures in the Li Rong Supervisor, Xiao Jing, Li Rong, Chen Kuan and Wang Yue were all present, but no one tried to visit or inquire about it. There were daily cabinet discussions. They were not as close to the Holy Master as they were, but once this kind of secret was revealed, they were as close as they were, and no one wanted to know the hidden secrets. As expected, after Emperor Hongzhi read it, just like the previous two times, he handed over the two letters He threw it into the charcoal basin at his feet, leaned down and pulled it twice with a small bamboo stick, until the two pieces of paper turned into ashes, and then he straightened up.
"Grinding ink, serving paper and pen!"
Although several Qianqing palaces agreed to go up immediately to polish the ink, spread the paper, and pick up the pen, when Emperor Hongzhi sat there with his pen dipped in ink, they all retreated knowingly. Watching the emperor writing rapidly, he sometimes paused for a moment, sometimes frowned and thought hard, but in the end it was completed in less than a quarter of an hour. He saw the emperor personally sealing the seal with the royal treasure and holding it in his hand, which he had just sent to the secret seal. The Clerk of Ceremony immediately bowed his head and stepped forward, knelt down and took it with both hands.
"Send to the three gentlemen of Jia Yuan Pavilion."
The Wenyuan Pavilion Cabinet Room in the northeast of the palace was also brightly lit at this moment. After Li Dongyang left and returned, the three assistant ministers had a heated argument. Finally, Liu Jian helplessly watched Li Dongyang reveal the secret. He was sent out. At this moment, when the chief minister saw Xie Qian still staring at Li Dongyang, he finally coughed.
"Mu Zhai, don't be angry with Xi Ya. When we bowed today, those people from the Liu Ke Gallery were almost clinging to Lao Ma's recent mistakes. In addition, he made a mistake this time. If you let this situation continue to develop, even if the Earl of Xing'an is removed, the troubles that will follow will not end. You also know the emperor's temperament. Jiao Fang's several statements are in line with the holy will. In addition, he is younger than Lao Ma. If there is a stalemate, Lao Ma will not be able to keep him."
"But Ma Sanfeng is already very old. If he doesn't leave today, he will have to go tomorrow. So why not just pull Jiao Fang down, lest he replace him so lightly and skillfully in the future? Isn't it better than us spending all the effort to use it? With such a title catering to the wishes of the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince, is it better to keep Ma Sanfeng?"
"The problem is, Jiao Fang has been suppressed by others for many years. Now that he has obtained the Holy Will, how can you suppress him again?" Li Dongyang asked slowly. Seeing that Xie Qian was choked by him and his face was ugly, he looked so ugly. Then he slowly said, "Of course, you can accuse him of asking about other people's affairs as a civil servant, but he can just say that it is because Ma Shangshu is old and dim. To avoid making mistakes this time, he went to investigate carefully. Check it out. After all, it has been a month since Xing Anbo’s funeral, and this period of time was originally enough.”
Seeing Xie Qian punching the table in great annoyance, Li Dongyang stood up and cupped his hands towards Liu Jian: "Yuanfu, I still say the same thing, even if Xu Liang attacks and enfeoffs the Earl of Xing'an, Xu Xun can get close to the prince in a legitimate way.
But whether loyalty is good or not, you have to wait and see. At the very least, he will not be worse than the eunuchs who are currently around the prince. I went to Beizhen Fusi once just before entering the palace, and I heard Ye Guang say that he was in Yingying
Needless to say, the words of the head of the Tianfu Yamen who questioned Zhao Qin were sharp. Even though the father and son were new to the capital, they had the Supervisor of Ceremonies to support them. Xu Liang had not left home at a young age. How could they not know what Jiao Fang said?
?So, today in the official court, Xu Xun refused to give in to Xu Yi at first, which shows that the silence later was just a kind heart."
"Three more first, long live the Lord to approve the Holy Will!"
Just when Li Dongyang said this, he heard a loud voice coming from outside. Liu Jian quickly went to open the door in person. Seeing the sweaty Clerk of Ceremonies standing outside the door, he quickly gave way.
After coming in, he immediately took the imperial letter with a deep bow, and then walked to the desk and cut it out himself. He took out the letter and glanced at it, he couldn't help but raised his head and glanced at Li Dongyang, and then sighed deeply.
He took a breath and nodded to signal Li Dongyang to come forward. Li Dongyang came to stand on the left side of Liu Jian and browsed through it from beginning to end in just a moment.
"If this is the holy will, Yuan Fu will still vote for me." Li Dongyang sighed, and seeing that Xie Qian's face was rather gloomy, he persuaded him, "You have also seen Ma Sanfeng's memorial. As the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he
He submitted a letter and bluntly pointed out the fallacy of the previous one. Please use Xu Liang to attack Xing'an Bo, and then invite him to serve because he is old and ignorant. The emperor kept him and ordered him to continue to inspect the capital officials with Dai Song of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and to supervise the Six Section Corridor, so as to avoid these
The old horse was caught in the matter and impeached endlessly. In this case, Yuan Fu has drafted the candidates for Xing'anbo to seize the title, and the matter is over. After all, Xu Wei's Qiqi will not be there, and this decree will not be issued.
"
"What about Jiao Fang?"
Seeing that Xie Qian was still catching Jiao Fang, Li Dongyang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then said lightly: "Mu Zhai, Jiao Huangzhong, Jiao Fang's son, should be taking the provincial examination soon. The emperor gave him four new imperial books. It's already
It’s very clear. It’s common for Minister Yin’s son to be imprisoned, and it’s also common for Minister Yin’s son to become an official, but this kind of gift letter is rare. The emperor obviously regards Jiao Fang as the successor of Ma Shangshu. Instead of thinking about how to get rid of him,
Muzhai, you might as well think about how to prevent him from joining the cabinet in the future."
Li Dongyang did not say that the gift of the book was his idea in the secret disclosure. The last sentence was just a casual explanation to explain Xie Qian. When he saw the much older colleague, he really frowned and started thinking hard.
Although he knew that he was not someone who only cared about revenge, he understood his stubbornness better and couldn't help but smile bitterly at it.
Liu Jian took the fluttering imperial letter and silently returned to his desk. He hesitated for a long time while writing, and finally wrote the first pen. I only hope that Ma Wensheng lives a long life, and it is best that he can boil Jiao Fang to death!
