Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 1286 Before the wind rises
Liu Xin asked, "Do you have any judgments or guesses?"

"There is a point, but I don't have much confidence at the moment." Gao Wushi shook his head slightly: "Shen Longjiang (Shen Li, No. Longjiang) is now the Minister of the Ministry of Household, and among the six divisions, he is only after the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Officials. Even if the emperor wants to transfer him, as long as he is not demoted, he still needs to at least remain in the list of the seven ministers, and now there is a vacancy in the Ministry of Works among the seven ministers - Yang Mengjing (Yang Zhao) begged for a break before the Northwest Rebellion , and now the Minister of Work is empty."

Qiqing is the six Shangshu plus the censor of Zuodu.

Liu Xin said, "Isn't that just a coincidence? Maybe the emperor was thinking of moving Shen Li up for this reason."

Who knew that Gao Wushi shook his head and said: "This is not the case. You only know one thing and not the other. Although the position of Minister of Industry is still undecided, but according to the news sent to me by Chen Ju, the emperor It seems that I prefer Shi Dongquan (Shi Xing). In addition, the day before I arrived in Beijing, Heiding got the latest news that the stepmother of Zhao Yuanpu (Zhao Jin), the censor of Zuodu, passed away. The news should be available within two days of today and tomorrow. Spread it to the capital."

Liu Xin was a little surprised: "Shi Xing? He seems to be the left servant of the Ministry of War now. Is he still ahead of you in the ranking?"

Gao Wushi nodded and said, "That's right, his left servant was still before me, and when we were there, he was probably equivalent to the executive deputy - I only dealt with the Jingying area, and he was assisting Liang Mingquan's comprehensive efforts. '."

"Your explanation is easy to understand." Liu Xin boasted with a smile, and said, "What happens when Zhao Jin's stepmother dies? Does Ding You also need Ding You when her stepmother dies?"

Gao pragmatically said: "As long as it is his father's wife, whether it is a 'successor' or not, he can be worried."

"Okay?" Liu Xin noticed that Gao Wushi pronounced these two words a little more heavily, and asked, "That is to say, he actually 'can' not worry about it?"

"In principle, it should be Ding You, but the stepmother's words... If he is very holy, he may be deprived of love. This deception is different from Zhang Taiyue's deception in the original history, and this is generally not criticized by the officials— As long as the stepmother doesn't have years of nurturing grace for him, that's fine."

Liu Xin thought for a while: "Since you mentioned this matter, you must be guessing that the emperor will not take love?"

"This is the key." Gao pragmatically said solemnly: "If it were an ordinary time, the emperor would have been in love at this time, but right now there are too many radishes and not enough pits. If the emperor still hopes to promote Shi Xing as a worker Minister of the Ministry, then Shen Li has no place to arrange, at this time Zhao Jin... I guess the emperor will most likely let him go home to Ding You."

"The Xin School has suffered a big loss this time!" Liu Xin said in surprise, "I heard that Zhao Jin is from the Xin Xue line."

"Yes, he is a hardcore learner, and he used to be a teacher of Wang Yangming."

Liu Xin said in surprise: "Master Wang Yangming? Then he must be quite old, right?"

"It's not young. He was born in the 11th year of Zhengde and a Jinshi in the 23rd year of Jiajing. He is only one subject later than my third uncle, and one subject earlier than Zhang Taiyue." Gao Wushi said, and added: "In sum, he This year is seventy-two (false years old), and he should have retired two years earlier. However, no one in the Heart School has the basics of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so we have to let General Zhao Jin do it. This is why I think One of the reasons why the emperor asked him to return to his hometown to guard the system."

"Just because I used to be a teacher of Wang Yangming, so Shen Shixing would rather use such a veteran to guard the basics of the Metropolitan Police?" Liu Xin couldn't help being a little surprised, she felt that this reason seemed insufficient.

Gao pragmatically said: "That can't be said. Zhao Jin still has some prestige in Shilin and officialdom, because he once impeached Yan Song."

"Really? Didn't it say that the downfall of Yan Song was due to Xu Jie?"

Gao Wushi was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "It seems that there is still a lot to make up for in your history class. The issue of Yan Song's downfall is quite complicated. I can't understand it in a few words. Let's talk about it next time. Let's talk about Zhao Jin first. Bar."

Liu Xin blushed, she also knew that her historical level was not good, so she did not dare to defend herself, so she silently agreed.

Gao Wushi said: "When Yan Song was in power, no one dared to impeach him. Zhao Jin was one of them. It was the New Year's Day in the 32nd year of Jiajing, and a solar eclipse happened to happen. You should know that the solar eclipse is based on the addition of the theory of interaction between heaven and man. Often used, well, Zhao Jin used it once to impeach Yan Song..."

Gao Wushi told Liu Xin the information he had read when he compiled the canon. At that time, Zhao Jin took the appearance of the solar eclipse as the fulfillment of the power and treason, that is, Chi Shushu impeached Yan Song.That article of impeachment is quite weighty, roughly speaking: (In view of the fact that many readers and friends found the ancient text difficult to understand, the following is a simple "translation".)
"My minister Fu saw that there was a solar eclipse on New Year's Day, and the changes were very different. In addition, there are still floods in Shandong, Xu, Huai and other places every year, and earthquakes are frequent in the four directions. Disasters will not happen without foundation. The power of the prime minister was devolved to the various divisions, how far-reaching consideration was given for future generations. Although the current cabinet does not have the name of the prime minister, it has the real power of the prime minister, which is not the original intention of Emperor Gao.

Previously, Xia Yan was greedy and violent, and he was indulgent.Now the great scholar Yan Song has followed Xia Yan and his parents to favor Zhang Wei as a traitor, stealing power and indulging in lust.If someone disobeys him, disaster will surely come, Bai Si Wangfeng sighs in fear.When the affairs of the world are not reported to the court, they should be reported to him first.

The people who reported the matter to him lined up and waited in front of his door, and those who begged and bribed him gathered at his home like a sea of ​​rivers.The Ministry of Personnel inspected and promoted officials, and the personnel of the Ministry of War all acted according to his will.

When the border officials were wrecked, all military resources were reduced to Yan Song, who gave bribes, so that those who did nothing could be rewarded, and those who were guilty could escape punishment.As a result, the succession of ancestral vassals, the posthumous gifts of civil and military ministers, whether these are fast or slow, whether to give or take away, all depends on whether they bribe more or less.So that those who climb up by unscrupulous means depreciate themselves arrogantly.The title is very outrageous, shameless, and there are things that the minister can't bear to say.

His Majesty is the Holy Spirit of Heaven, and Gan Gang is the sole control.Since the decision of the conquest is decided by the palace, the question lies with the ministers, and the cabinet ministers plan to decide.The manuscripts of the various ministers are all under Yan Song's orders. How could His Majesty know this?Now that Xia Yan was executed, Yan Song was able to do evil, Xia Yan was just violent and shallow, and his evil was easy to be discovered, while Yan Song was soft and deep, and his evil was difficult to be known.

Yan Song peeks at the ingenuity of flattery, which seems to be loyal and diligent; his flattering posture seems to be submissive.He recommended the cultivation of private parties, arranged in important places, and watched the movements and intentions of the ministers.

Or watch the place where the holy mind pays attention, and act accordingly to achieve their own goals; or take the opportunity of a certain thing, so as to incite and release his poisonous intentions.

If Your Majesty thinks about this matter, you will find that it originated in the imperial court; if the world refers to this matter, then this matter does not originate from the government.Fortunately, if it was moved to the Sacred Heart, the ministers would be punished instead of Yan Song; unfortunately, if it was passed on to later generations, His Majesty would be punished on behalf of Yan Song.How could His Majesty really regard Yan Song as a virtuous person?
Since Yan Song has assisted in the administration of the government, it has only been a reward for grievances and grievances. As long as someone delivers the goods and pays bribes, they will be accepted.The ministers were afraid of secret disasters, so they did not dare to directly state their loyal words; the four parties were accustomed to greed for ink, and Lu Yan was trapped by sorrow day by day.

Shortly after Gengxu, foreign invaders were rampant.His Majesty once recruited the world's brave people to fill up the army, exhausted the world's financial resources to supply the army's salaries, collected the world's remaining sages to serve as generals, and gave extraordinary rewards, showing the profound imperial prestige to show both inside and outside.

However, none of the important ministers in the frontiers could spare His Majesty's day and night worries.Because the ministers in power engage in private affairs, and the generals are popular, taking deductions as the main task, and seeking advancement through drilling as the energy.As a result, above the court, those who are appointed are not virtuous, and those who are wise are not appointed; the reward should not be based on merit, and the punishment should not be based on crime.

If your majesty wants to achieve peace, then the officials are not enough to Chengde;The wealth has been exhausted, but the external aggression has not subsided; the people are already in dire straits, and they are worried that internal changes will occur.Your Majesty is so holy, he has been so diligent, and has been like this for 32 years, and the general situation of the world is so dangerous, it is not Yan Song's treachery, how could he reach this point?

The minister hopes that His Majesty will watch the sky's vertical image, observe the subtleties of the laws of the ancestors, the power cannot be transferred to others, and Ji Gang can not make it corrupt, and immediately dismiss Yan Song, in order to respond to the changes of the sky, then the court will be clear and bright, and the law and discipline will be strengthened.Although Kou Rong is horizontal, the minister knows that he is not even. "

There is one point in this impeachment that needs to be explained: Zhao Jin cited Xia Yan's "bad" example in the impeachment to compare Yan Song, which does not mean that he really thinks Xia Yan is "bad".It's just that Xia Yan was killed and abandoned by Jiajing himself at that time, and he was not rehabilitated, so no matter what Zhao Jin thinks in his heart, Xia Yan can only be regarded as a "bad guy" in the impeachment.

After listening to Liu Xin, she nodded and said, "It seems that this Zhao Jin was quite courageous at the time, and dared to impeach Yan Song when he was at his best. If I remember correctly, Jiajing had a lot of trust in Yan Song at that time. ."

Gao Wushi smiled and didn't know what he meant, only to hear him continue: "It's good to be courageous, but this matter will make him suffer."

Probably because Zhao Jin is from the Heart School, Liu Xin didn't get too nervous after hearing this, but instead asked with a smile, "What? He was tortured by the court?"

Gao pragmatically said: "It's almost, maybe even a little worse than Tingzhang - but it is precisely because of this that he has the prestige he has today."

It turned out that Zhao Jin's impeachment was not the right time, because at that time, Yang Jisheng was severely condemned for impeaching Yan Song, and Emperor Jiajing was accusing others of saying this.Zhou Mian was also imprisoned for arguing about taking credit, and Zhao Jin's Shuzhang arrived just in time.

Of course, Jiajing was furious, and he personally wrote on his slogan, saying that Zhao Jin had deceived the heavens and slandered the emperor, and sent a special envoy to arrest Zhao Jin and punish him, and he also prepared condolences to Yan Song.So Zhao Jin was escorted back from thousands of miles away. During this period, he also fell off the sill car many times, and almost died several times.

After arriving in the capital, he was sentenced to prison, tortured, and interrogated. The final decision was to beat him for forty, and be reprimanded as a citizen.His father, Zhao Xun, was serving as a councillor in Guangxi at this time, and was also impeached and removed from office.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Jin stayed at home for 15 years. After the first emperor Mu Zong came to the throne, Zhao Jin was appointed as an old official because of various criminals in the Jiajing period. He was soon promoted to Taichang Shaoqing. Lu Qing, until he was promoted to Zuodu Yushi.

In addition to impeaching Yan Song, Zhao Jin also had a brighter credit in the process of becoming an official, that is, when he just took up the former official in the first year of Longqing, he was the governor of Guizhou with the title of Censor of the Right Deputy Capital, and he once captured and betrayed Miao Long. Deyucha et al.The local chief chieftain and envoy of Xuanwei An has always been rebellious, but he was afraid of Zhao Jin's impeachment of Yan Song's "rectification of the name", so he served for him.After this incident, Zhao Jin was transferred to the imperial court to serve as Dali's minister, the left and right servants of the Calendar Department, etc.

After listening to Liu Xin, she was amazed: "You really know the ministers in the DPRK like the back of your hand. Have you ever collected their information?"

"Heiding does this kind of work." Gao pragmatically said lightly: "The so-called predicting things is like a god, in fact, it is better to say that people are like a god. Only by knowing what kind of person the other party is can you guess what he will do. If one The person came out in vain, I didn't know him at all, and he didn't have a formula for his moves, so I naturally couldn't see the move, let alone ambush in advance, if I wanted to win... Like dealing with Liang Bangrui's family, we will forcefully break it."

Liu Xin smiled: "I think that breaking the law is more relieved - I just want to kill you, and you can only wait to die, there is nothing you can do. Look, how domineering."

"Domineering has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that since that time, no one in the shopping mall near the capital has dared to disobey Jinghua, let alone grin.

But there are also many disadvantages. After seeing Jinghua's hand, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang Consortium did not know whether it was taken from the prestige or envious of the prestige. They gave up a lot of internal intrigue and began to embrace the group and work together to fight against Jinghua's 'southern invasion'.Even Liu Shouyou's original incident and Pan Sheng's incident were all related to my dealings with Liang Bangrui's family. "

Liu Xin wrinkled her nose: "Oh, that doesn't seem like a good deal."

Gao pragmatically smiled: "That's why people say that you want to be gentle and make money, and keep a low profile as an official."

Liu Xin rolled his eyes at him: "You don't need to instill me any more about your way of being an official, and I'm not an official. What I'm curious about now is that if you are the top of the household, the censor of Zuodu will really give Shen Li... can that Shen Yuanfu agree?"

"If things stop there, I think Shen Yuanfu is not very happy." Gao Wushi shook his head slightly: "But the emperor is no longer the little prince he used to be, I guess he must still have the means to appease Shen Yuanfu. ."

Liu Xin became interested: "Really? This is the loss of a courthouse. What compensation will the emperor give to his Mr. Shen?"
