Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 426
"Elder Ge, Tu Menggui, Cheng Wen and other disciples of the Gao family visited Gao Dashi's mansion for three days and nights in a row, but every time they came out of the mansion, they looked depressed and seemed unwilling. I don't know why. My lord Feng Gong knew about it, so he sent a villain to ask about it. , I don’t know how the old man will respond, but do you need the cooperation of my master?”

The person who asked this question was Xu Jue, the steward of Feng Bao's foreign government, and the person he was asking was Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Ju looked calm on the front, but he was already a little uneasy in his heart. Hearing this, he didn't reply immediately. Instead, he thought carefully for a while before opening his mouth slowly, and said, "Please tell your lord, Duke Feng, that Ju Thank you for your concern."

Xu Jue even said that "Ge Lao is polite", but after finishing the politeness, he still asked: "So, can Ge Lao respond?"

Zhang Juzheng was secretly sullen in his heart, his face remained calm, and he said unhurriedly: "I have anticipated what you said, so don't worry too much. I expect that Tu Menggui, Cheng Wen and others will go to Xuanlao's mansion these few days , must be asking for orders to fight back, but the emperor is not in good health and has been sick for a long time, Elder Xuan did not want to cause more trouble, so he rejected them."

"Since Mr. Ge has made preparations, my master must be relieved." Xu Jue smiled slightly, but he didn't let go of what he said: "It's just that when the villain came, my master repeatedly explained that he had to ask. Ming Court's old ways..."

Zhang Juzheng clenched his fists secretly, held back his anger, and said solemnly: "Since the fire in Elder Xuan's place is not good enough, let's make it even hotter...you go and report to Feng Gong, and say that Mr. Zhang please rest assured, tomorrow There will be memorials to continue the impeachment, and Gao Xinzheng will never be allowed to pretend to be deaf and dumb."

Xu Jue showed a satisfied smile and bowed deeply: "Thank you Mr. Ge, such a villain will leave first."

"Go slowly." Zhang Ju calmly ordered, "You Qi, send Guanshi Xu out of the mansion for me."

You Qi stepped forward immediately, smiled and stretched out his hand to make a false pretense: "Brother Xu, please."

"Don't dare, thank you." Xu Jue replied, and the two left hand in hand.

When the two of them walked away, Zhang Juzheng sat still, but said: "Come out."

Immediately, a person turned out from behind the screen and bowed to Zhang Juzheng: "What's your order, Prime Minister En?"

"You heard what was said just now." Zhang Juzheng said slowly, "Feng Bao can't wait..."

The man blinked and asked: "But because your majesty's dragon body is getting more and more overwhelmed?"

"It should be so." Zhang Juzheng slightly closed his eyes, paused for a while, and said: "Although Feng Bao is not very capable, he is the only one who can benefit the government at the moment... you today Let’s take care of yourself and write a note.”

The man was excited, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Enxiang, Oh Ye will write it immediately. However, this matter is of great importance, and the old man is asked to check it personally, so as not to make mistakes."

Zhang Juzheng nodded happily: "Good."

In the early morning of the next day, Hu Ke gave the matter to Cao Daye, and published the "Ten Statements on the Infidelity of the Great Scholars Gao Gong", which shocked the court.

The cabinet didn't say a word, so it was directly forwarded to the Supervisor of Rituals. The supervisor of Rituals today is Feng Bao.

Long Qing was recovering from illness in Qianqing Palace. At that time, he was lying on the imperial couch with his eyes closed. When he heard that someone impeached Gao Gong for "big infidelity", he was startled and angry. He opened his eyes and sat up. He stared at Feng Bao and asked, "Who impeached Mr. Gao? Infidelity?"

Feng Bao lowered his head, stared at his own toes, and said in a low voice, "Go back to Grandpa Long Live, it's Cao Daye from Huke.",

Cao Daye?Long Qing vaguely remembered the name, but couldn't remember his resume, so he took a deep breath and asked, "Where is he from, what year was he a Jinshi?"

Feng Baodao: "Back to Grandpa Long Live, Cao Daye is from Ba County (now Chongqing), a Jinshi in the second year of Longqing."

"The second year of Longqing?" The emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a bad tone, "Whose disciple?"

Feng Bao's heart skipped a beat, but he wasn't too flustered, and he replied calmly, "It's a disciple of Zeng Xingwu, Governor of Sichuan."

Long Qing gritted his teeth, Zeng Xingwu?He is Zhang Juzheng's disciple.

After a while, Long Qingcai asked again: "Read it, I want to see how Mr. Gao has been so disloyal."

He said the word "big disloyalty" with extra emphasis, and he didn't know what it meant.

Feng Bao didn't dare to think too much at this moment, and he didn't have time to think too much, so he immediately opened the memorial and began to read:

"His Majesty Gong Meng appointed him to be in charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Officials, to be careful to assist the prime minister, and to be honest and upright in return. He is arrogant and indulgent, and his ministers have no time to list them all. I would like to present them briefly on the basis of their infidelity. Your Majesty the former Violating the harmony, ministers and ministers, big and small, restless, talking and laughing alone, and drinking and having fun with Cao Jin, the servant of the punishment department of the in-law's family, ignoring your majesty's sufferings and ignoring them, is also disloyal."

"Lectures and readings out of the pavilion in the East Palace are the grand ceremony of the ages, the important task of the country, and should be served around every day, but only if you want to kowtow and come out on the [-]th. If you don't serve your Majesty, you should serve the East Palace. How can there be no ministers?" Ritual, dare to act with self-respect! It’s also disloyal.”

"Self-recovery and reuse, that is, revenge is the thing. In the past, two or 30 people, such as Cen Yongbin, were bluntly accused. All were demoted, and all the good people in the court were empty. There are three infidelities."

"Since he took charge of the Ministry of Officials, all those who have been promoted are all his relatives and relatives. For example, Cao Jin, the deputy envoy, and his children's relatives have no talents. Ji, his dear disciples, he was promoted to the Right Tongzheng before his salary was long. Others who let him do what he likes and use him are invincible, and he is disloyal.”

"Ke dao officials are your majesty's eyes and ears. The reason why ministers dare not be traitors is due to this. Gong wants to cover up the way of words and let him do what he does. Therefore, every time he chooses to teach science, he will be in front of the department hall. You are not allowed to talk about the faults of the ministers, so that you can deceive your majesty's eyes and ears, and use his treacherous schemes to indulge his evil plans, which is disloyal."

"Nowadays, Taoist officials are more confidant. If your majesty has a little use, they will submit chapters and play up to the crime, and they will be concealed. Therefore, both inside and outside know that there is an arch, but they don't know that there is a majesty. This is why forming a party is evil, and it is evil. Unfaithful six."

"In the past, Yan Songzhi was a matter of the Prime Minister's cabinet, and he never had the power of the official department. Now he has been in charge of the official department for a long time, and he refuses to dismiss him. Therefore, he is in his control. He can be promoted or dismissed according to his wishes. Outside caress Regardless of his actions, the Qing Dynasty in the court will not be sympathetic, so his power is more important than Song, and his citation of bandits and rejection of good people is more important than Song.

"In the past, Yan Song stopped his son Shifan from being greedy and accepting bribes. Today, Gong is the one who opens the door of bribery. For example, Dong Wencai, the deputy envoy, gave [-] gold and was promoted to participate in politics in Henan. He is the servant of the Eastern Palace. The gifts of other daughters of Mu Ye are hard to count. Therefore, Xinzheng, Gong's family, has been stolen and robbed repeatedly, with no less than hundreds of thousands of gold. Highly pragmatic, studying with ten-year-old companions, running merchants, earning millions a year, a mere urchin, how did he get such a huge profit? Shi Gong secretly trafficked for him, and this is disloyal."

"The original manager experienced Shen Lian, impeached Yan Song, and relegated him to Baoan. Yang Shun and Lu Kai were framed by Ah Song, who seduced false sentiments and killed them. Everyone hated them. Bi His Majesty ascended the throne, and he made a decisive decision. When Shun and Kai died, everyone in the world rejoiced. Gong Nai accepted the bribe of a thousand pieces of gold from Kai, and argued strongly that Tuo Kai died, and all good people were angry and injustice. This is disloyalty."

"Wu Shilai, the former governor of Caojiang, fought against Shu Lun Song in the first emperor's dynasty. The so-called loyal ministers were also dismissed with selfish hatred for a small matter. Xu Kai, the former university scholar, was ordered by the first emperor. Selfish hatred is harmed by many parties, and he must be put to death. As for the eunuch Chen Hong, his Majesty's arbitrary decision, the world all admires him. It is the party's flood, so it is not appropriate to go. I replied, but it was due to the majesty of your majesty. Gong Nai threatened to say to others, "This is not the power of the country, but my strength." This is due to myself, I don't know your majesty. If you let outsiders hear about it, wouldn’t you despise it! It’s ten times disloyal.”

"Please be like the story of Yan Song, the first emperor, who bestowed special gifts on dismissal. Don't choose loyal ministers to be in charge of the official department and assist in the affairs of the cabinet. Although your majesty is quiet in the palace, the world will have the peace of Mount Tai."

After Feng Bao finished reading, he didn't dare to say another word, and silently stood aside with his hands down.

There was no sound from the emperor's side for a while, and after a while, the emperor asked: "I remember, last time Mr. Gao mentioned that I gave him the Chen Han (no wind note: the imperial brush and ink treasure given by the emperor to Gao Gong, There are all kinds of praise banners), because of the cramped living space, he has not been able to settle properly, and he often regrets it?"

Feng Bao was startled, not knowing why the emperor mentioned this, subconsciously replied: "This... maybe there is."

The emperor nodded, and said indifferently: "Prepare paper and grind ink."

Feng Bao didn't know what the emperor wanted to do, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he hurriedly followed suit.

The emperor went to the royal case and wrote two banners, each with only two characters.

After finishing writing, he ordered Feng Bao to dry the ink, put down the imperial pen, and said indifferently: "Give the scholar Gao Gongzun Zang Chenhan Loutang, the building is called Baomo, and the hall is called Jianzhong. The inner government will give you a thousand taels of silver to build it. Reward him for his meritorious service and reward his loyalty. I respect this."

Feng Baowen's complexion changed drastically upon hearing this.

　I figured that something might be delayed tonight, so I posted this chapter earlier, and the writing was smoother, so the number of words exceeded a little...
