Chapter 1313 The Case of Slandering the Monarch (Part [-])
Since Xu Jie's death in the 11th year of Wanli, no one in the Xin School could compare with Shen Shixing. Even with the reputation of a scholar like Wang Xijue, his official status was far inferior to that of Shen Shixing, who had been a cabinet minister for more than ten years.Although Wang Xijue finally joined the cabinet this time, it was also strongly recommended by Shen Shixing, which also confirmed Shen Shixing's position as the number one master of psychology.

As a prominent figure of the School of Mind, Shen Shixing is slightly less enthusiastic about giving lectures than Xu Jie, but his means in officialdom may now be on par with Xu Huating in the past.

Among other things, just talking about his proposal today is a good proof of his skills.

"What Gao Pragmatically said above is a big matter. Ercao is eager to maintain the ancestral system, and his feelings are sympathetic. However, slandering the emperor suddenly is really alarmist. I don't want to hear it." This ticket has a total of four sentences.

The first sentence first characterizes the cause of the whole incident: "Gao Pragmatically neglected what he said before, and the matter is of great importance."

How did this happen?It is the matter mentioned in Gao Yushi's "Quyongshu".How to define this matter?Shen Shixing was extremely cautious and only used the description of "the matter is of great importance".

"This is a big matter" is not a definition in itself, but as the chief minister of the cabinet, Shen Shixing's "no definition" is itself a definition, that is, he thinks the matter is very serious and should be prudent.

Since the emperor had not yet defined the "Qiyong Shu", Shen Shixing not only gave the emperor face, but also expressed his "cautious opposition" position, and this opposition attitude would not be excessive.In this way, if there is a conflict with the emperor's definition in the future, it can be adjusted in time, so as not to get stuck in a certain position and not come back, directly conflicting with the holy will.

The second sentence is the definition of the phenomenon of officials accusing Gao Yushi of slandering the emperor. This definition is different from the previous one, and it seems very decisive: eager to maintain the ancestral system, it is pitiful.

It stands to reason that "eager to maintain the ancestral system" is already a very precise definition, which means that they clearly agree with their behavior - after all, "maintaining the ancestral system" belongs to "political correctness" in Ming Dynasty, while "eager to maintain The ancestral system" that further shows that these speech officials are very conscious, and when they see someone trying to shake the ancestral system, they are extremely anxious.

However, why did SHISH add the sentence "It's sympathetic"?The word notice is generally applied to those who have made mistakes before forgiving them. How can you affirm their performance while implying that they did something wrong?
The reason lies in the third sentence, "However, to slander the emperor suddenly is really alarmist."

This sentence is very subtle, first of all, it is the "jump"-this word should be seen in conjunction with the "rush" in the previous sentence.It means that because these officials are very conscious, they are anxious to shake the ancestral system, so when they think about the problem, they are a little anxious, and it is inevitable that they will not think carefully-look, it is another clever way to clear the charge.

Immediately afterwards, Shishi Bank clearly expressed its position: You are "alarmist".

"Scaremongering" is also a clever word, using this word means that the highly pragmatic "Qiyongshu" is indeed scary.It's just that you are still too restless. This cabinet thinks that things haven't reached that point yet.

You see, he not only expressed his concerns about "Qiyongshu", but also believed that the situation is not as serious as the officials said, and the matter is still controllable.If you expand it and think about it, Shen Shixing's words imply that the whole matter is still "unresolved" and can be redeemed-so this is also a hint to the emperor.

At the same time, "scaremongering" is also the final definition of "slandering the emperor" by speech officials: the crime is not serious, that is to say, it is a bit exaggerated-the implication is that their motives are not problematic, and even the direction of thinking is not correct. True, there was just a miscalculation on a dangerous level.

Although Shi Shixing has never studied physics, he seems to be very clear about one reason: Mistakes can be avoided, but errors are unavoidable.What he said here means that it is not an "error" in nature for the officials to say that Gao Yushi slandered the emperor, but it can only be regarded as an "error", so it is excusable.

Well, all the truths have been clearly stated in this seemingly simple and plain but in fact exquisite 34 words. Next, as the proposal of the chief assistant, he will give "handling advice".

"Not to hear" is Shen Shixing's opinion on the handling of these impeachments.

What is "not to hear"?The simplest statement: just pretend you didn't hear it.

I "didn't hear it", so naturally I can't talk about agreeing with your views, and I won't hold you responsible for it.

You want to ask why?I have made it very clear before!

So far, under normal circumstances, regardless of the emperor, the cabinet, high-level officials, and officials, all have been re-placed by Shen Shixing's four sentences in a position where they can advance or retreat. No matter which aspect or direction, they will not explode immediately. conflict.

What is eight-faced and exquisite?This is all-round and exquisite.

What does it mean to turn a major event into a small matter?This is turning big things into small things.

I have expressed the attitude that should be expressed; I have downplayed the issues that should be downplayed; I have also protected those who should be protected.

When it comes to Tai Chi, Shen Shixing can be called a master of the generation.

A total of 27 memorials to impeach Gao Yushi's "slandering the emperor" before and after were all affixed with the same ticket by Shenshixing, and submitted to the Supervisor of Rites together with other memorials and tickets.

The part that the Supervisor of Rituals can "approve according to the rules" never includes this kind of impeachment of important ministers, so Huang Mengyu can't dispose of it after seeing it, and can only forward it to the emperor Yucai Chen for judgment.However, while Huang Mengyu was shocked by the school's strong reaction to "Qiyongshu" this time, he had to be amazed at Shen Yuanfu's Tai Chi master.

Fuck, can you get back the "slander case"?Yuansuke is awesome!
"Reading is still useful!" Huang Dazhang personally held a stack of notes and went to Qianqing Palace, muttering to himself: "The war between these two champions, don't worry about the guns not firing and the horses not hissing, but I will Old Huang is only a little bit close to not being able to understand."

Although Huang Mengyu is not Zhu Yijun's direct descendant, he is actually not bad for the emperor—no matter how "powerful" the eunuchs of Ming Dynasty can only be attached to the emperor to survive, they are not like the powerful eunuchs in the late Tang Dynasty who have completely mastered the magic strategy The central forbidden army of the army can act recklessly to abolish it at will.

Huang Mengyu, as the chief eunuch who has been in office for more than ten years, is pro-high and pragmatic, but in the final analysis he is still the emperor's confidant, otherwise how can he sit securely?

Because he was a close friend, as soon as Huang Mengyu entered the West Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, Zhu Yijun, who was sitting in front of the imperial case while reading a book while holding a bronze jue, glanced at him and asked, "How is it, bullets are like snow?"

Huang Mengyu smiled all over his face: "Everything can't be hidden from the emperor's eyes, it's really like bullets like snow - or the kind in the twelfth lunar month."

Zhu Yijun was so amused by what he said that he couldn't help laughing, and said: "It's okay, the auspicious snow is a sign of a good year, and a bigger snow may not necessarily be a bad thing."

With that said, Zhu Yijun had already put down his wine glass, threw a volume of books back on the table, waved to Huang Mengyu, and asked at the same time: "What are you talking about? Are you scolding for seeking truth and wanting to implement tyranny, or scolding Huang Mengyu?" He competes with the people for profit? Or... accuse him of wanting to follow the example of the struggle between cattle and plums?"

Huang Mengyu stepped forward holding the memorabilia and the ticket, while panting slightly, he replied: "There are all of these, and there are some sayings that the emperor didn't mention."

These words seemed to be a little unexpected for Zhu Yijun. He was surprised, rolled his eyes, and asked, "Oh? What else?"

Huang Mengyu carefully put the memorials on the imperial case, and replied at the same time: "There are 27 memorials to impeach the chief minister for slandering the emperor."

Zhu Yijun was stunned, frowned slightly, and asked in thought: "Slandering the emperor? How can there be any slandering the emperor? How did they say that?"

Huang Mengyu, as the supervisor of ceremonies, had already read these memorials, but he refused to answer. Instead, he said with a wry smile: "Although the slaves have read it, it is... a bit difficult to understand. Why don't the emperor read it himself? The slaves really dare not lie."

Huang Mengyu's words also have some sense.He was a majestic supervisor of ceremonies, and after reading the bullets, he was "somewhat incomprehensible". The implication was that the statements in these bullets were completely unreasonable.The so-called "not daring to speak nonsense" is just because he, as an eunuch, is not good at making random comments before the emperor has no definition.

Not only kept the rules, but also laid an ambush, giving the emperor a psychological hint in advance, making him preconceived doubts about the fairness and rationality of these bullets.

Although Huang Mengyu didn't study much, his methods were not bad. Otherwise, how could he have worked for more than ten years in such a position as the supervisor of ceremonies?

Sure enough, the emperor's brows furrowed even deeper, and without saying a word, he reached out for a memorial and read it.

This memorandum was written by Shen Shixing, which is not counted as a chapter, but a discussion, that is, the article in which Shen Shixing "discussed the matter according to the facts" against Gao Yushi's "Quyongshu".

Here is a little trick worth mentioning: when any memorials are sent from the supervisor of rites to the emperor, they are not arranged in the order of the time of submission of the memorials, but the order of these memorials is determined by the supervisor of rites, and who arranges them In the first, who poses in the second, and so on.

Don't underestimate this seemingly dispensable power. In fact, the power of this "little" power is not small at all, and sometimes it can even have a huge impact.

Assume that there is one happy event and one bad event in today's memorial. The official who reported the happy event was not pleased by the seal of the supervisor of ceremonies. On the contrary, the official who reported the bad event had a good relationship with the palm seal.Then, the palm seal eunuch can manipulate it, put the memorial of happy events first, and the memorial of bad events at the back.

In this way, the emperor first saw the happy event and felt happy, and then saw the bad event, he would feel that the bad event was not so bad, and would hint in his heart that he should not be disappointed by it.In this way, the official who reported the bad thing took advantage of the official who reported the happy event to resolve his own danger—at least the most dangerous level, such as the big mistake that might lose the official in the first place, and perhaps finally The emperor only fined him half a year's salary and so on.

The opposite is also the same, among the two officials, the one who made the happy event was the "friend" of the eunuch who made the handprint, while the official who made the bad news had a bad relationship with the eunuch who made the handprint, so the eunuch could put the bad things first and the happy events first. behind.

The effect of doing this is completely different: the first memorial that the emperor received in this day is a bad thing, which is a big disappointment, and it may be severely punished in a fit of anger.Immediately afterwards, he got the memorial of the happy event, and he turned from anger to joy, so he naturally praised him greatly, thinking that this official was able to do things well, so of course he should reward him heavily.

This is the reason why the officialdom has always emphasized that "people around the leader should be regarded as leaders".It only takes a little bit of insignificant action, if I take care of you, I can make you skyrocket ninety thousand miles;

Four or two strokes!

Although the ordering of Huang Mengyu's memorials today is not so direct, it is also very particular.

The memorial of the first assistant was placed first, and the emperor would definitely not have any doubts after reading it, so Zhu Yijun looked very calm.

Although Shen Shixing's memorials were not very strong in criticizing Gao Yushi, he neither said that he wanted to implement a harsh government, nor questioned that he wanted to compete with the people for profit, and of course he would not scold him for trying to follow the example of cattle and Li. But very rigorously and seriously questioned whether the method mentioned in "Qiyongshu" is feasible.

According to Shen Shixing, the high-practical approach requires at least "nearly a thousand additional officials".As a result, not only is there a huge shortage of officials, but it will also lead to a serious phenomenon of redundant officials, not to mention increasing the burden on the court, and may also lead to "hostility between financial officials and treasury officials."

Not only that, once the two types of officials colluded with each other, such an addition would be even more meaningless and full of disadvantages.

Shen Shixing also put forward the hypothesis that since the imperial court has fully levied commercial taxes, the money, food and materials handled by these officials may increase greatly. It has intensified the burden on the people, "This must be unbearable for a benevolent monarch."

In addition, Shen Shixing questioned many details in a very targeted manner. Zhu Yijun read them one by one, frowning.Although Huang Mengyu looked calm by the side, his palms were actually sweaty, and he didn't even dare to breathe.

After a while, Zhu Yijun put Shen Shixing's memorial aside.Huang Mengyu noticed that the place where he put Shen Shixing's memorials was not where he usually put the memorials completed by Zhu Pi, but put them aside alone.

Huang Mengyu was very clear about this action, which meant that the emperor was unable to make a decision for the time being, so he left it alone for now, and thought about it later before making sense.

Huang Mengyu was obviously relieved, and he became more calm. Although he didn't even shake, he quietly wiped the sweat from his palms on the hem of the boa robe—his boa robe has been given for a long time. This is not uncommon in the palm prints of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, but it is not the python robe that Gao Yushi wears, but the python robe like Qi Jiguang.

Zhu Yijun picked up the second memorabilia, glanced at the Shen Shixing ticket plan on the surface of the memorandum, and immediately squinted his eyes.
