The empty Hall of Supreme Harmony became silent, and everyone focused their attention on Wang Ao.
Wang Ao stroked his beard, and he already had a plan in mind for what he wanted to say, and he said slowly and unhurriedly: "I heard that on the tenth day of March, the Imperial College was surrounded by Liu Zhongxia, a member of the Jinyi Guards, for no reason, and there were also people who moved.
He used swords and guns. Since he came to power, Your Majesty has issued four decrees for noble scholars, but now there are people outside the Imperial College and the Confucian Temple who are so unscrupulous. The commander of the Jinyi Guards, Mou Bin, is a kind man, but such a big thing happened in the Jinyi Guards
, Mou Bin, as the commander, is responsible for advising and supervising the troops. If the old minister doesn’t impeach him, who will he impeach?”
Ma Wensheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, took the opportunity to say: "It's getting more and more outrageous. Those captains usually just run rampant and lawless in the capital, but now they have actually done it to the Imperial College. Your Majesty, please take a closer look at the details and have to rectify them."
"
Ma Wensheng's words were high-sounding, but he had no choice but to stand up with Wang Ao to impeach the Jinyi Guards. Ma Wensheng has now become a street rat in the Imperial College. If he supports the Jinyi Guards at this time, there is no chance that there will be prison guards coming tomorrow.
No, those supervisors don't make trouble once or twice. One day they write poems and scold you, and tomorrow they order people to throw excrement at your door. No one can stand it.
Ma Wensheng's move was to take advantage of this opportunity to show his goodwill to the Imperial Academy, not only to show that he was magnanimous and tolerant, but also to hope that he could become friends with the Imperial Academy. Therefore, although Wang Ao was the leader in calling for the punishment of Jin Yiwei, the one who was most enthusiastic was
Ma Wensheng.
When Zhu Youtang heard the word Imperial College, his eyebrows could not help but frown: "Oh? So there is such a public case, why has no one reported it to me before? When it comes to the Imperial College, this is different. How did Mou Bin do it?
Do you think that the will I have sent out again and again should be empty words?"
"Your Majesty..." Sitting opposite Wang Ao and Ma Wensheng were three cabinet ministers. One of them blushed a little and couldn't help but said: "What the veteran heard is different from what Mr. Wang said. Jin Yiwei is not guilty."
Zhu Youtang's eyes fell on the source of the sound. The person who spoke was cabinet bachelor Xie Qian. Xie Qiansheng was handsome and handsome. He was wearing a bright red robe. The winged hat on his head was probably due to excitement.
Trembling up and down because of it.
Seeing Xie Qian's angry look, Zhu Youtang couldn't help but smile. Among the cabinet troika, the bachelor Liu Jian was decisive, while Li Dongyang was good at strategy. As for Xie Qian, he was very eloquent and staunch.
He is best at arguing with arguments. When something happens, no matter who the other party is, as long as what the other party says is wrong, he will have to argue with others.
Zhu Youtang smiled and said to Xie Qian, "I wonder what Xie Aiqing heard?"
Xie Qian held his head high and argued loudly: "The Jinyi Guards surrounding the Imperial College did not come out of nowhere, but before that, there were people in the Imperial College who made noises and caused trouble. Now that all nations are coming to court, it is the duty of the Jinyi Guards to suppress the riots."
Zhu Youtang's eyes flashed and he said calmly: "So, Jin Yiwei was not at fault."
"Yes!" Wang Ao was refuted by Xie Qian, but he was not angry at all. He said with a smile: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Xie said is not wrong, but there is a hidden secret in this matter. Although some people in the Imperial College made noise, it even got out of hand.
The situation, but later, the school captain Liu Chengfeng who was sitting in the hall..."
Wang Ao took his time and told what happened.
After Zhu Youtang heard this, he was secretly surprised at first. Then he realized that it was so dangerous. If the angry supervisors really came to the Meridian Gate to cause trouble, the face of the Ming Dynasty would be completely ruined. When it comes to Liu Cheng The wind calmed down the situation, Zhu Youtang's eyes moved, and he couldn't help but think: "This man is quite decisive. In his desperation, he not only did not hurt the supervisor, but also took care of my face. I just didn't know that he stabbed himself with a knife and hurt him seriously." not heavy."
Hearing that Liu Zhongxia had arrived with his troops and surrounded the Imperial College, Zhu Youtang frowned again and felt a little nervous. Of course he knew that the prison students were always soft-hearted and not hard-line. Once he saw the soldiers and horses, he could not be comforted easily. The prison students who came down were bound to be in a commotion, and by then the situation would be out of control.
It wasn't until Wang Ao mentioned that Liu Chengfeng pulled out a knife and threatened Liu Zhongxia to leave the Imperial Academy with his troops and horses that Zhu Youtang took a deep breath and couldn't help but said: "This man is so brave. He forced thousands of people to retreat as a captain." Hu, you are really brave."
Wang Ao finally said: "Your Majesty, Liu Chengfeng pacified the Imperial College, and he originally had merit, but Liu Zhongxia of the Thousand Households was not angry, and wanted to punish Liu Chengfeng or less for his crimes. I dare not say whether it is right or wrong, but The rewards and punishments of the Jin Yiwei are unclear, and the veteran believes otherwise. As the commander of the Jin Yiwei, Mou Bin cannot escape the blame."
Zhu Youtang nodded his head, his cloudy eyes glowed with some light, and asked, "Is there such a thing?"
Xie Qian and Mou Bin were good friends. When Wang Ao turned over this account, Xie Qian felt that Wang Ao was trying to attack him. Xie Qian was impatient and couldn't help but said: "Master Wang, I want to ask you, Liu Chengfeng is Your disciple? Is it because you protect Liu Chengfeng in everything for personal reasons? Why did I hear from outside that it was Liu Chengfeng who suppressed the Imperial College, and in order to gain credit, he drew a sword against Liu Zhongxia from a thousand households? "
Wang Ao smiled slightly and said: "I have some evidence here. Please take a look at it. Your Majesty will understand everything after reading it." He took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, which was given to him by Liu Chengfeng. Yes, Zhu Youtang asked the eunuch to take it and take a look at it. He raised the paper in his hand and said with a smile: "Wang Aiqing is not showing favoritism. This letter is a joint petition from a total of seventy-three doctors and supervisors of the Imperial College. I have recounted what happened exactly as it happened, and it is exactly the same as what Wang Aiqing said."
Xie Qian couldn't help but was slightly startled, and then stopped talking.
What Wang Ao calls Dongfeng is actually this piece of testimony. As a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, if Wang Ao wants to expand the matter of Jin Yiwei, it will inevitably cause a backlash from the cabinet. After all, Jin Yiwei today has always been honest and obedient. If this happens, If the anger is directed at Mou Bin, and a new commander is appointed, people may not buy the cabinet's account. Therefore, as soon as Wang Ao announced the matter to the public, he immediately received a backlash from the cabinet. If there was no real evidence, how could Wang Ao dare to do so for no reason? Targeted? Even if there is a decree in the palace to be investigated in detail, someone will definitely obstruct it. Only God knows what the final result of the detailed investigation will be.
This piece of paper is enough to clarify the matter, and even if Xie Qian has a sharp tongue, there is nothing he can do.
Wang Ao smiled slightly, and then said: "Your Majesty, in fact, Commander Mou is not to blame for this incident. Commander Mou is a loyal man, and the Jinyi guards are all good and bad. It is expected that there will be a few wanton and lawless Qianhu from time to time. It's just that Liu Zhongxia led his troops to surround the Imperial College indiscriminately, and then retaliated against Liu Chengfeng wantonly. Your Majesty had to be aware of the situation, punish the evil and promote the good, and set an example to others."
Zhu Youtang pondered for a moment and said: "What Wang Aiqing said makes sense. Liu Chengfeng dealt decisively and was quite courageous. Let's pass on my decree. Liu Chengfeng has served the country and is loyal. I will reward him." A man with a hundred hereditary households, let him do his job well and use his life well."
"As ordered." The eunuch next to him bowed and saluted Zhu Youtang, and went down to deliver the message.
Zhu Youtang did not express his opinion on how to deal with Liu Zhongxia, but Wang Ao smiled slightly, knowing it well, and then said: "Besides, although Liu Chengfeng temporarily suppressed the rebellion, sooner or later there will be a The Japanese Imperial College is still causing trouble, and it is better to cure the symptoms than to cure the root cause. The most urgent task now is to come up with a charter so that the prison guards can no longer cause trouble at will."
Ma Wensheng was the biggest victim of this incident. After hearing what Wang Ao said, he quickly said: "Master Wang is right."
The two elders, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, just sat aside and smiled and said nothing. Until now, they have a stay-out attitude and never speak until the critical moment.
Xie Qian was still a little resentful and couldn't help but said: "It's not easy to cure the root cause. The troubles caused by the supervisors have never stopped since the founding of the ancestors. They have been suppressed or appeased in the past, but that time it was not suppressed or appeased? The result was not very good. Today, are you looking for something else to cause trouble?"
Zhu Youtang also found it difficult. On the one hand, he was a noble scholar. In order to set an example, he would never be easily angry with the supervisors. But on the other hand, if the supervisors made a fuss, the shock would definitely be huge, and they could not Simply comfort.
Wang Ao said slowly: "Liu Chengfeng has an idea."
"Humph, can a school captain also be involved in political affairs?" Xie Qian's voice became louder and his anger became even more intense.
Zhu Youtang, however, patiently pressed his hands and said, "Thank you Aiqing, it's okay to listen."
Wang Ao still said slowly and authentically: "In fact, it is very simple to cure the root cause. It is better to block than to block. Why not set up a consultation bureau in the Imperial Academy and appoint court officials to let the supervisors discuss political affairs every mid-month, and then summarize the key points. Come down and present it to the palace. In this way, the eunuchs will have the opportunity to go up to heaven to listen, and naturally they will not cause trouble for nothing. Your majesty will also open up the channels of speech, and you can also know the thoughts of the eunuchs. If you can prescribe the right medicine, no one will make trouble in the Imperial College."
When Wang Ao's suggestion came out, everyone in the palace seemed slightly surprised. Liu Jian, a cabinet bachelor, had a trace of suspicion in his eyes, and couldn't help but wonder whether it was the captain who proposed this method or this method. Wang Ao said it through the mouth of the captain?
Liu Jian first looked at Wang Ao, and then his eyes fell on Zhu Youtang. At this time, he already knew that if it were another emperor, he would never agree to it. However, the current emperor has always been diligent in his duties, and even more Cherishing the reputation of being able to give advice freely and open up the public opinion, the charter of this advisory board will definitely be to Zhu Youtang's liking.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Zhu Youtang's eyes lit up and he said: "It's a good idea to open up a wide range of opinions. This is the strategy for the country. The establishment of an advisory bureau can control the opinions of the supervisors on the one hand, and let me know The supervisor's idea can be said to kill two birds with one stone, but this charter was thought up by a school captain? This is quite interesting. This person seems to be not simple. When someone comes and reads out the imperial edict, give him a flying fish uniform."
