The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 251 Li Mengyang made the emperor angry and vomited blood
At night, the East Palace Bedroom.

Zhu Houzhao's huge bed was covered with thick green gauze.Jiang Bin entered the gauze tent with a small box in his hand.

Zhu Houzhao's voice came from the gauze tent: "Everyone, step back."

Liu Jin waved his hand quickly.The eunuchs and maids left the palace one after another.

These palace people all chuckled in their hearts: I didn't expect that the 14-year-old Crown Prince would have such a hobby.There might be something strange in the box held by General Jiang.

Even Liu Jin was worried: shouldn't a 14-year-old boy be interested in a beautiful girl?Your Highness is fond of Longyang, which is not good for spreading branches and leaves!

They were all wrong!They underestimated Zhu Houzhao.

After Jiang Bin entered the green gauze tent.

Zhu Houzhao asked: "Shall we start?"

Jiang Bin nodded.

Zhu Houzhao stood up from the couch and respectfully performed the Zhou ritual of respecting Jiang Bin: "Mr. Jiang, please give me some military advice!"

Jiang Bin opened the box.Inside is a simplified version of the nine-sided situation map.

Jiang Bin said seriously: "Your Highness, today I will tell you the key points of Xuanfu Great Wall defense."

Zhu Houzhao deceived everyone.He was lying on the same bed with Jiang Bin every night, and he was definitely not doing anything shameful and ridiculous.

He regarded Jiang Bin, a warrior in the frontier army, as his teacher.Every night he eagerly learned the knowledge of commanding troops to fight.

Officials of the sixth rank and above in the imperial court must send memorials to the prince every month, asking for their regards.Most officials used gorgeous rhetoric to flatter him in their memorials.

According to the rules, the prince needs to give a reply after every request for courtesy, to show that the prince respects his ministers.

Zhu Houzhao took the trouble.He was really tired of seeing this kind of flattery.

Until one day, he casually picked up a copy of Wen Gongshu and glanced at it a few times.

This glance didn't matter, the ten words in the book made him tremble and shocked.

These nine words are "The emperor of tomorrow shall personally take charge of the military power."

Zhu Houzhao read this memorial carefully three times as if he had found a treasure.

The memorial's point of view can be summed up in one point: if the prince wants to become a wise king in the future, he should follow the example of Taizu and Taizong and personally take charge of the military.

After reading it three times, Zhu Houzhao remembered to turn over the cover to see who had written the memorial.

I saw the words "Wang Shouren, Chief of the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War" written in thick and powerful handwriting on the cover.

Zhu Houzhao remembered the name.I even remembered his suggestion - the emperor of tomorrow should personally take charge of the military.

Although I am not the emperor of tomorrow today, I will be in the future.To gain military power, you must first know what military means.

Three people go together there must be my teacher.I cannot go to Ma Wensheng or Liu Daxia to learn military skills.Too much movement will arouse the vigilance of the civil service group.

Then just take Jiang Bin as your teacher!Jiang Bin is a warrior who has fought and shed blood.He will be a qualified teacher.

The entire civil service group thought that Zhu Houzhao was spending time with the good-looking Jiang Bin because he was involved in Longyang's affairs.

A typical patient's eyes are full of bacteria - many civil servants have fat, white schoolboys in their homes, and many civil servants have a habit of visiting the Elephant House to find fair-faced husbands after dinner.

The civil servant, like Liu Jin, looked down upon Zhu Houzhao.He looked down upon the future Emperor Zhengde.

Zhu Houzhao doesn't care what outsiders say.As long as you can successfully achieve your goal of learning military affairs, you can say whatever you like.

One day, I will be like Taizong, leading thousands of troops into the hinterland of the grassland, and defeating the northern captives so that they will not dare to go south to join the invaders.Protect the peace of the people of Ming Dynasty.

On this day, Chang Feng was reading in the room on duty.

Qian Ning walked in worriedly.

Chang Feng was a little strange: "Didn't I ask you to go to the East Palace for duty? Why did you go back to the guard?"

Qian Ning said: "There is a big matter, and I have to report it to Master Chang."

Chang Feng saw Qian Ning's serious expression and asked, "What's the big deal?"

Qian Ning said: "Master Chang, I am in charge of the Thousand Household Office and the Hundred Household Office of Jinyiwei dispatched in Nanjing and thirteen provinces."

"In the past two months, our bureaucracy in various places have frequently sent secret reports to Beijing. I have summarized it. It's really weird!"

After speaking, Qian Ning took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and read in a gloomy tone: "On March 18, the [-]th year of Hongzhi's reign, there was an earthquake in Ningxia. The wall of Ningxia City, which was one foot thick, was knocked down."

"Two days later, there will be earthquakes in Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Shaoxing, and Ningbo."

"Another day, earthquakes occurred in Nanjing and seven prefectures including Suzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou, Zhenjiang, Huai'an, Yangzhou and Ningbo."

"March [-], earthquake in Puzhou and Jiezhou, Shanxi."

"On March [-], seven counties including Pinglu and Ronghe in Shanxi suffered earthquakes."

What Qian Ning said was the famous earthquake in Jiangnan, Ningxia, and Shanxi in the 18th year of Hongzhi in the history of earthquakes.

Chang Feng took a breath after hearing this: "There are earthquakes everywhere in the Ming Dynasty? This is really an ominous sign."

"It stands to reason that when an earthquake occurs, local officials should report it to the court. Such a large-scale earthquake should be reported in the official newspaper. But this month's official report did not include a single word."

Qian Ning echoed: "Who says it's not?"

Chang Feng analyzed: "It should be suppressed by the cabinet on purpose. The emperor is seriously ill. If the earthquake in Ming Dynasty is reported in the palace and spreads, it may cause people's hearts to wander."

Chang Feng didn't believe in Dong Zhongshu's theory of induction between heaven and man before.But at this moment he couldn't help but believe it.

This is not the rumor he fabricated in the 22nd year of Chenghua that "the earthquake in Mount Tai will not move the East Palace."

Even if someone lies and spreads rumors.It's not like the dozen or so offices in various places where Jinyiwei was dispatched collectively lied and spread rumors.

Is it true that the emperor's destiny has been exhausted?

Chang Feng and Qian Ning faced each other in silence.After a while, Chang Feng finally spoke: "Go back to the East Palace. As long as the East Palace is stable, the Ming Dynasty will remain as stable as Mount Tai."

At this moment, Qian Neng walked in angrily: "Yao Shou! You are bullying the heavens!"

Chang Feng asked: "Duke, what's wrong?"

Qian Neng threw a memorial on the table: "Look at what nonsense that bastard Li Mengyang from the Ministry of Accounts talked about!"

Li Mengyang has great talent, but he is not a wealthy person.Be straightforward when speaking and doing things.Therefore, his official career was not very stable.He is famous all over the world, but he is still just a doctor in the household department.

He and Li Dongyang's names differed only by one character. They were both great Confucians and literary leaders, but their official fortunes were in the same world.

Chang Feng picked up the memorial and saw the title of the memorial: "Li Mengyang, a doctor in the Shandong Qing Dynasty official department, said that there are two diseases, three harms and six gradual events in the current situation."

Chang Feng was a little strange: "Two diseases, three harms and six symptoms? What do you mean?"

Qian Neng slapped the table: "You will know what it means if you open it and take a look."

Chang Feng opened the memorial.

The general content of the memorial is: The current situation is getting worse and worse, and there are two diseases today.One is the disease of vitality, that is, the morale is declining and the academic spirit is sluggish.

The second is a disease of the heart and heart, that is, the internal affairs are becoming increasingly violent.

There are three harms today: the first is harm from the military, the second is harm from the people, and the third is harm from the hungry people in the fields.

Today there are six phases: the first is the progression of scarcity, the second is the progression of theft, the third is the progression of the destruction of famous objects, the fourth is the progression of laws and regulations being abolished, the fifth is the progression of alchemy and bewitchment, and the sixth is the progression of arrogance and extravagance of noble relatives.

In the sixth chapter, Li Mengyang also highlighted examples.Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, his relatives, recruited scoundrels to prey on the common people, and they were as powerful as a powerful tiger.

Chang Feng broke into a cold sweat after reading this memorial.

This memorial, to put it bluntly, completely denies the prosperous age of Hongzhi!Completely negate the current Holy One!
Chang Feng asked: "Duke, has the emperor read this memorial?"

Qian Neng said angrily: "The emperor has seen it! After seeing it, he was so angry that he vomited blood! I will cut this beast into thousands of pieces!"

Chang Feng was confused: "That's not right. Memorials to the Emperor must be submitted to the General Affairs Department."

"Logically speaking, the Secretary of General Affairs should not hand over such a rebellious memorial to the palace."

Qian Neng was furious: "Isn't it obvious that there are lice on Aunt Taishan's buttocks? The civil servant sincerely allowed this memorial to go to Long's case unimpeded, intending to piss the emperor to death!" "Long live our pity! I'm sick!" In this way, you still insist on reviewing memorials. But you are so insulted by the civil servants!"

Chang Feng reacted immediately: Li Mengyang, a fool, was used as a weapon by the civil service group.

The emperor was so angry that the 14-year-old young prince ascended the throne.Those civil servants could bully the young emperor and control the government.

Haha, the calculations of the civil servants are almost falling off my Chang Feng face!
However, what Li Mengyang said about the second disease, the third harm, and the sixth disease are also true.It's just that he shouldn't have chosen this memorial at a time when the emperor was seriously ill.

Chang Feng asked: "Does the Emperor have any will?"

Qian Neng said: "The emperor has a decree to arrest Li Mengyang and imprison him."

This is not the first time Li Mengyang has entered the imperial edict.The last time he was sent to imperial prison, it was because Zhang and Qian's family members gathered gangsters to fight with weapons.Li Mengyang came forward to participate in the impeachment.

Chang Feng said: "Governor, please leave this case to me."

Qian Neng said angrily: "If I don't leave it to you, why don't I leave it to the commander Mou Bin? I know what kind of literary friends Mou Bin and Li Mengyang are. They are so good that they can wear a pair of trousers!"

"Chang Feng, I want you to use Jin Yiwei's most cruel torture on Li Mengyang!"

"A good dog still protects its owner! This memorial on this dog is equivalent to pointing its nose at the emperor and scolding him. We, the factory guards, have to vent his anger on the emperor."

Chang Feng nodded: "Okay, okay. The Governor will calm down first. I will go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to arrest Li Mengyang."

Hube is right across the street from Jinyiwei.

Not long after, Chang Feng took Li Mengyang into the interrogation room of the imperial prison.

Chang Feng did not put the shackles on Li Mengyang and asked someone to make him a cup of tea.

Chang Feng asked: "Brother Tianci (named Mengyang), who ordered you to write this memorial?"

Li Mengyang replied: "It is my duty as a minister to write a memorial to the emperor and speak out about the current situation. Why do I need others to instruct me?"

Chang Feng sighed: "You described Hongzhi's prosperous era as a ball of darkness! Do you think so in your heart?"

Li Mengyang, a second-rate man, actually said: "The name of the prosperous age is not worthy of its name."

Chang Feng slapped the table: "Li Mengyang! You bastard! You claim to be a noble scholar, why are you telling lies with your eyes open at this moment?"

"Your bastard memorial described Hongzhi's prosperous times as chaotic times. Well, let me ask you a question."

"In the total 23 years of the Chenghua Dynasty, how many large-scale civil uprisings have occurred in the world?"

"It has been 18 years since the Hongzhi Dynasty. How many large-scale civil uprisings have occurred in the world?"

Li Mengyang was stunned and remained silent.

Chang Feng said: "It's not that you don't know, but you don't want to say it. Okay, then I'll tell it for you! During the Chenghua Dynasty, there were ten large-scale civil uprisings! Among them, the Guangxi and Huguang uprisings even forced the court to send more than ten Tens of thousands of troops will be wiped out."

"Not even once in Hongzhi Dynasty!"

"Is this what you think, that Hongzhi Chao is a mass of darkness?"

Later generations of "folk historians" launched a massive and comprehensive movement to deny the Hongzhi ZTE movement.

Let's leave aside the "History of the Ming Dynasty" and only talk about the "Records of the Ming Dynasty".

"Records of the Ming Dynasty" records that there were ten large-scale civil uprisings in the Chenghua Dynasty; seven in the Zhengde Dynasty; nineteen in the Jiajing Dynasty; one in the Longqing Dynasty; twelve in the Wanli Dynasty; two in the Tianqi Dynasty; and countless in the Chongzhen Dynasty. Statistics, probably more than a hundred times.

The number of large-scale popular uprisings during the Hongzhi Dynasty was zero.

(Note: Large-scale civil unrest refers to more than 3 people participating and affecting more than two counties)

Li Mengyang did not argue: "You are right. It is a fact that the people's livelihood in the Hongzhi Dynasty was better than that in the Chenghua Dynasty. It is also a fact that the two diseases, three harms and six diseases are gradual."

Chang Feng answered: "It's true. But you wrote this memorial when the emperor was seriously ill. You have ulterior motives and are plotting against evil!"

"When the Emperor is in good health, why don't you write this memorial?"

Li Mengyang was speechless.

Chang Feng said again: "Let me ask you again, who ordered it?"

Li Mengyang replied: "One person is responsible for his work, and my writing of this memorial has nothing to do with others."

Chang Feng looked up to the sky and laughed: "Hahahaha!"

Li Mengyang asked: "Why are you laughing?"

Chang Feng said: "I laugh at the poetry writers of the Hongzhi Dynasty. Li Mengyang, who proposed that 'literature must be from the Qin and Han Dynasties, and poetry must be from the prosperous Tang Dynasty', is a stupid pig!"

"A stupid pig that was used as a knife and didn't even know it!"

Li Mengyang asked: "Why did you say this?"

Chang Feng made a clear analysis: "Li Mengyang, think about it, if you wrote this memorial when the emperor was seriously ill, would the emperor's condition become worse?"

"If the emperor is buried in heaven, who will benefit the most?"

"The prince is only fourteen years old. Although he is gifted with talents, he lacks experience in governing the country. If the sky falls apart, the civil servants in the DPRK will take control of the government in the name of assisting the government."

"To put it bluntly, there are people in the court who are hoping that the emperor will die soon!"

"And you are a tool used by those with ulterior motives."

"You were tricked and tricked into a trick! You did something treasonous and unethical and you didn't even know it."

Speaking of which, no matter how stupid Li Mengyang was, he had already reacted.

Chang Feng said: "Ask you again. Who ordered you to write the memorial?!"

Li Mengyang no longer protected the people behind him this time: "I really deserve to die! I shouldn't be greedy and ruin things!"

Li Mengyang told such an incident.

Three days ago, General Secretary Huang Lang hosted a banquet for more than a dozen officials to drink.Among them is Li Mengyang.

The Department of General Affairs shall have one chief general officer of the third rank, and one chief general officer of the left and right rank of the fourth rank.Huang Lang is considered one of the senior civil servants in the DPRK.

These dozen people have one thing in common: they are all poets and bureaucrats who like to dance and write.

Literary men and poets like to complain when they get together.

As we drank, the topic shifted from poetry to the current situation.

Everyone complained loudly.It doesn't look right here, it doesn't look right there.

Especially Li Mengyang.After all, he had been imprisoned for participating in the impeachment of the emperor's relatives.

Li Mengyang is good at summarizing.Starting from the talk of the emperor's relatives being domineering, they have continued to talk about the declining morale and the sluggish academic style.

Huang Lang deliberately provoked Li Mengyang: "Do you dare to write what you said tonight into a memorial and submit it to the emperor?"

Li Mengyang took advantage of the wine and said, "Why don't you dare! It is the duty of a minister to give honest advice and give direct advice!"

Huang Lang immediately ordered his servant to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone to Li Mengyang.Li Mengyang is worthy of being a giant in the literary world. He wrote the brilliant "Two Diseases, Three Harms and Six Gradual Sparings" in just two hours.

Huang Lang urged him to send someone back to his home, took the seal, and stamped the memorial.

Huang Lang then took the memorial directly away.He also pledged: "I will submit a memorial to the Secretary of General Affairs. Don't worry, Brother Li, I will definitely let this memorial be placed on the Long Case!"

After sobering up, Li Mengyang actually felt a little regretful.

However, because of his reputation as a noble character and eloquent in admonishing, he could not pursue the memorial with Huang Lang.

In this way, he was used as a sword by others.

Chang Feng stood up directly after listening to Li Mengyang's narration.

Zhang Cai on the side asked: "Master Chang, are you going to the General Affairs Department to arrest Huang Lang?"

Chang Feng shook his head: "No, go to the cabinet first! I want to ask the three cabinet officials if they know the inside story of this memorial!"
