Why did the emperor rebel?
Chapter 201 Black Noodle Factory
Chapter 201 Black Noodle Factory
What Chen Yi asked was Lu Zhong, but not Lu Zhong.
A Jinyiwei commander obviously doesn't have such a big face in front of Chen Yi, who is the censor of Zuodu.
What he really wanted to ask was what Lu Zhong represented, the meaning of the Son of Heaven.
Seeing Chen Yi's persistent expression, Lu Zhongxin sighed.
In fact, all the officials present guessed rightly that Lu Zhong had indeed come here at the emperor's will.
This case has been going on until now, but it is actually time to close the case.
It's just that I have been busy with the war some time ago and have no time to take care of this matter, so I have been procrastinating.
As for now, of course, it is because there is still a big fish missing.
Wang Ji and Shi Pu are the finale.
Of course, it's impossible for both of them to move, because it involves too much.
From Lu Zhong's point of view, if he had to choose one of these two, he would prefer Wang Ji.
It wasn't because of anything else, it was purely because he was keenly aware that every time the emperor mentioned this person, there was a bit of disgust in his expression.
But he also understood that Wang Ji's position among civil servants was not so easily shaken.
Moreover, Wang Ji is too cunning, Jin Yiwei checked for a long time, but failed to grasp the evidence that he and Wang Zhen made friends in private.
So what he just said was just a temptation.
Since he was already prepared, Lu Zhong naturally said without showing any disappointment.
"What Mr. Zong Xian said is very true. Now that the Miao bandits in Yunnan, Guizhou and other places are in chaos, the war is at a critical moment. Mr. Wang Ji has been in various places to supervise the war these years. Thinking about it, he has no friendship with Wang Zhen, but the other one, I'm afraid it will be involved. Not shallow, is it?"
If you can't win Wang Ji, it's good to win a Shi Pu.
After all, this is one of the real Qiqing!
Yu Shiyue took a sneak peek at Chen Yi, and seeing that the latter didn't express anything, she knew that this was the end of the matter.
So Yu Shiyue asked.
"Since Commander Lu said so, he must have already had a clue. Can you elaborate?"
Since Lu Zhong mentioned this matter, he was naturally prepared, so he opened his mouth immediately.
"This is natural. Speaking of it, this matter is also a coincidence. The former commander of Fanben was ordered to search the residence of Wang Zhen and his followers. postscript."
"This object is not very rare in Wang Zhen's collection, but it is also considered a treasure. Therefore, Jin Yiwei sent people to investigate."
"Later, it was identified by the servants of Wang Zhen's mansion. In February of the 13th year of Zhengtong, Shi Pu, who was then the Zuobu political envoy of Shanxi, personally delivered it to Wang Zhen's mansion when he returned to Beijing to report on his duties."
"Coincidentally, not long after, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Wang Zhen, clashed with Wang Zhen at the court. After he became an official in April, Shi Pu was super promoted and appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry."
Yu Shiyue pondered for a moment and asked.
"Commander Lu means that Shi Pu used Cai Xiang's calligraphy as a bribe to obtain the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry from Wang Zhen? This seems a bit hasty!"
The style of writing in the past dynasties was the most prosperous in the Song Dynasty.
Su, Huang, Mi, and Cai are known as the Four Great Masters of the Song Dynasty. They specialize in calligraphy, and their surviving works are also highly sought after by literati.
"Yan Zhenqing's Self-written Postscript" is one of the few ink marks handed down by Cai Xiang among the four families.
Although Wang Zhen is just an ordinary county school teacher, he is a scholar after all, and he also likes calligraphy, painting and copybooks very much.
But to say that this ink can be exchanged for the position of Qiqing, it is unbelievable...
After all, although this ink stain is rare, it is not a priceless treasure.
In order to convict a Qiqing, the evidence must be detailed and sufficient to withstand the doubts of the court ministers.
With such an ink stain alone, it is difficult to convict.
After all, even if it is confirmed that this postscript was indeed given to Wang Zhen by Shi Pu, it does not mean anything.
Ordinary literati and doctors often give gifts of calligraphy and painting to each other if they have a good friendship.
Officials who have reached the third rank and above will inevitably have to communicate with some eunuchs in the government affairs of the court.
Giving gifts to each other is normal.
Unless it can be proved that Shi Pu gave Wang Zhen a gift in order to seek the position of minister of the Ministry of Industry, such as letters and other empirical evidence, can he be truly convicted.
But obviously, Lu Zhong doesn't have these in his hands...
"What Yu Siqing said is not unreasonable. Based on this alone, it is naturally impossible to be sure. However, this commander is only saying that it is possible, and the details need to be investigated."
After pondering for a moment, Lu Zhong continued.
"However, if my commander remembers correctly, when a foreign official is transferred to the capital, if he is not excellent in the examination, he will be demoted by one level according to the system, which is regarded as a mediocre transfer."
"At that time, when Shi Pu came to Beijing to report on his duties, after the Ministry of Officials made a joint discussion, the evaluation given was above average, not up to the standard for promotion."
"According to the announcement that the political envoy is from the second rank, if according to the usual practice, Shi Pu should be transferred to the sixth minister of the third rank, without any merit, and he was promoted to be a minister. Isn't it different?"
When it comes to the judicial aspect, it is obvious that Yu Siqing is more professional.
After hearing Lu Zhong's words, Yu Shiyue shook his head and said.
"This transfer is indeed not normal, but the transfer of officials, apart from a few iron rules that cannot be violated, generally speaking, the flexibility is relatively large."
"Commander Lu said that when a foreign official is transferred to a Beijing official, it is considered an ordinary transfer if he is downgraded to one level. pull out."
"In terms of rank, the minister of the Ministry of Industry is the second rank, and he has not been promoted by leaps and bounds. Although he has not been promoted by the court, there is a precedent for the emperor's brief selection of the six ministers, so in terms of procedure ,There is no problem."
Saying that, Yu Shiyue glanced at Chen Yi, so the latter said.
"Indeed, if you want to talk about super promotion, Xiang Wenyao, who was promoted by the emperor a few days ago, is the real super promotion, but as long as you don't violate the iron rules of the election, then the science and ethics will not intervene rashly. "
There are naturally certain rules for the promotion of officials in Ming Dynasty, which is the so-called "iron selection rule", but at the same time, the flexibility is relatively large.
In a nutshell, the content of this iron rule is actually very simple.
First of all, the promotion and transfer of officials needs to go through the Ministry of Officials.
That is to say, the official position is a public instrument, not the private power of the emperor, and the emperor cannot directly appoint officials by bypassing the normal procedures of the official department.
This so-called "passing on officials" will be collectively resisted by the imperial court.
Secondly, under normal circumstances, if an official has passed the exam, if there is no fault, he can be transferred or promoted, but unless the evaluation is top-ranking, he cannot be promoted.
This is why Yu Shiyue said that in terms of rank, there is no problem in the procedure from the second rank to the second rank.
The so-called superiority of Beijing officials over foreign officials is a practice rather than a real court system.
Especially officials who have reached the third rank and above will be much less dependent on the Ministry of Officials.
Their promotion depends more on the court game, not just on their own political achievements.
Therefore, even if you know that Shi Pu once gave Wang Zhen calligraphy and painting, you also know that Shi Pu was promoted as one of the seven ministers from a certain place, and there is something strange about it.
But these two points alone are not enough to conclude that there is an inevitable connection.
Still the same sentence, if you want to impeach a person of Qiqing level, if you don't have a detailed and complete chain of evidence, it is not enough...
After listening to Yu Shiyue's explanation, Lu Zhong also frowned, and said after a while.
"That is to say, unless there is evidence to prove that Shi Pu's calligraphy and painting to Wang Zhen was indeed for the position of Minister, otherwise, it will not be able to shake a Qiqing?"
Yu Shiyue, Jiang Yuan and the others looked at each other and nodded helplessly.
This time, Lu Zhong also had a headache.
The only thing the emperor ordered him was to ask Sansi to investigate Shipu, but he didn't say anything else.
This is not a difficult task at all, if it is according to Jin Yiwei's style.
As long as you identify the person, it doesn't matter what important minister you are, if you are thrown into the imperial prison for half a month, no evidence can become evidence.
But this time, the emperor had a strict order for him, and Jin Yiwei was only allowed to assist him, and he was not allowed to arrest people without authorization, let alone interrogate and torture him without permission.
In this way, it is not so easy to convict.
Jin Yiwei tortured the servants in Wang Zhen's mansion long ago, and no one knew what Shi Pu talked about when he visited Wang Zhen's mansion.
No witnesses or physical evidence could be found, and the third division was in charge.
What's more, involving such an important minister will definitely attract the attention of the whole court, so forgery will definitely not work.
None of the usual methods could be used, and for a while, Lu Zhong also felt extremely troublesome.
After thinking about it, he could only say.
"In any case, the Son of Heaven has summoned Shi Pu back to Beijing, and it is expected to arrive within two days. Even if he cannot be convicted, there will always be no problem with interrogation and cooperation in the investigation, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Yu Shiyue and others confirmed even more that Lu Zhong came here at the behest of the emperor.
Otherwise, how would he know that the emperor has called people back to Beijing?
Thinking back to the recent period of time, Zhang Min, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, has been in a hurry to restructure the craftsman households, and these elders are clear in their hearts.
The Son of Heaven is determined, and he is going to take Shi Pu, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, under the knife. I didn't see it, is he even ready for his successor?
The errands have been arranged, so the rest depends on whether the third division can find out the evidence that Shi Pu bribed officials...
But thinking of Qiqing's influence in the court, the elders felt another headache.
In the current situation, we can only check other places first to see if there is any breakthrough.
…………
Qianqing Palace.
After lunch, as usual, Cheng Jing brought a stack of memorials and sent them to the emperor's case.
But in today's palace, apart from the servants serving as usual, there is also a special person.
Shuliang!
It has to be said that the Shu Liang of today is slightly different from the prudence of the past few days. Just this scarlet and gold-woven python robe alone can tell that he is now in high spirits.
Of course, in front of the emperor, he was as respectful as ever.
When Cheng Jing came in, the new admiral of the East Factory was taking the cup from the waiter at the side, and while talking, he was doing the work of serving tea and water to the emperor.
Carefully placing the teacup in front of the emperor, seeing Cheng Jing walk in, Shu Liang turned around and cupped his hands in salute.
"I've seen Manager Cheng."
It has to be said that Shu Liang is a smart person.
Ever since I found out that all the old people in Prince Yi's Mansion are used to calling Cheng Jing "Cheng Manager" in this way.
He also yelled, without any embarrassment.
While talking, Shu Liang stepped forward, took over the stack of memorials from Cheng Jing's hand, and put them on the table.
The whole process was as smooth as if it was all his job.
With that respectful look, he didn't see any of his iron-blooded methods in Dongchang these days.
Although Cheng Jing usually sits in the Supervisor of Rites, he also has his own news channel.
After all, for people of his level, there are plenty of people in the palace who are willing to serve him.
Therefore, he has also heard a lot about the methods of the new factory owner in Dongchang.
It is said that as soon as he took office, he borrowed 500 people from Jinyiwei, and shot a hundred households who wanted to trip him up on the spot.
Then, he recruited the seven or eight execution officers under his command into the room for secret talks, and no one knew what they said.
But after he came out, he directly threw three of them into Jin Yiwei's jail.
Not only that, in the next four or five days, he acted even more vigorously, sending dozens of Dongchang's subordinates to the imperial prison one after another.
The means in the imperial prison, not to mention these low-level hundreds of households and fans, even if the court officials entered, they would have to peel off their skins.
What's going on, no one knows except the people inside Jin Yiwei and Shu Liang.
Anyway, according to the news Cheng Jing got, the people who were sent to Dongchang haven't come out yet.
Now in the palace, it is secretly rumored that he is called "Black-faced Factory Master".
In just a few days, the eunuchs in the palace would subconsciously run away when they saw Shu Liang.
However, none of this has anything to do with Cheng Jing.
The more powerful Shu Liang is, it only means that Cheng Jing, who recommended him, has better vision.
Seeing that the Son of Heaven and Shu Liang still had something to discuss, Cheng Jing waved his hands back with a wink, and planned to retreat to guard the gate.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he took a step, he saw the emperor wave his hand and said.
"There's nothing confidential, you can't hear it, so stay."
Cheng Jing's footsteps stopped, so he stood behind the emperor.
Then, the emperor continued to turn to Shu Liang and asked.
"So, at the East Factory, you are now in complete control?"
Shu Liang glanced at Cheng Jing who was standing behind the emperor indiscriminately, feeling a little envious in his heart.
From the small details just now, it can be seen that although he was entrusted to Dongchang, there is still a distance from the real confidant of the emperor.
With this in mind, Shu Liang's little complacency brought about by taking over Dongchang disappeared without a trace.
It's nothing to subdue Dongchang, only the favor of the emperor is the foundation for these eunuchs to live and work.
At this point, he still has a long way to go!
Respectfully bowing his head, Shu Liang replied.
"Going back to the emperor, it's true. Eunuch Jin's discipline...to them was too loose."
"Before the slave took over, Commander Lu told the slave about the current situation in Dongchang in detail. Only then did the slave know that there are people from various backgrounds and influences in Dongchang now, and they are almost becoming a sieve."
"The servant girl thought that it must be of great use for the emperor to order the servant girl to supervise Dongchang, so she simply handed over those who are unclear and have malicious intentions to the Imperial Prison for trial."
"I dare not say it is completely in control now, but there is always a bit of prestige erected in front of the subordinates, and it should not be a problem to instruct them to act for the emperor."
Zhu Qiyu took a sip of tea, glanced at Shu Liang who was still half-bent, with a humble expression, smiled, and asked.
"You are generous, and you are not afraid of Lu Zhong seeing your jokes."
In the past two days, I was outside to attend a friend’s wedding, so I could only find time to code words at night, so I simply combined the two chapters together and sent them out together into a large chapter of [-] words.
So in the past two days, there is only one update at noon every day, and I bow to everyone.
