Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 281

After the fellow commander said these words, the expressions of several people changed, and even the commander who was inclined to convict Wang Tong at the beginning showed a thoughtful look on his face.

The real shortage of the top level of Jinyiwei is a commander, two commanders and two commanders. According to the principle of size and power balance, these five people do not come from the same system. The guy is holding on, so they are not so clear about each other, there is a superficial politeness.

However, everyone's power and glory come from the system of Jinyi's pro-army. When thinking about things, it is natural to consider what is going on inside the Jinyi's pro-army.

"Dutang, Eunuch Feng is in charge of the East Factory, and Feng Youning is in charge of thousands of households in the East Factory. The scenery is endless. Our son-in-law has to be careful when he sees those people in the East Factory. He is very aggrieved. To be honest, In the past few years, it was that Wang Tong who raised our prestige and made the brothers in the capital straighten up a little bit!"

"Old Qin is right. Those civil servants in the Chaoli area are very thieves. They dare not touch the father-in-law in the palace and the Dongchang side, but they stare at us hard. If there is a problem, they will go to the hospital and hold on to it. If this incident goes according to their wishes, wouldn't it destroy our prestige!"

The two commanders and acquaintances were both from generations of nobles, and one of them was said to be related to Li Wei, Marquis of Wuqing, so he didn't care too much about what he said, and the two fell silent.

The previous person who agreed with Liu Shouyou coughed and said:
"Wang Tong made a big fuss, but the boy below was beaten too badly. He lost his arms and legs. What kind of support did those gangsters rely on to dare to do such a cruel thing? Dutang, if we don't protect him this time Let’s say, from now on, anyone in the world who offends Jinyi’s army will find a reason, and then.”

He hesitated, but his meaning was very clear, and he could see that Liu Shouyou's face became rather ugly. The other thing was to pat the table with his hand, raised his head and said:
"Feng Youning is very domineering, but the people under his opponents have always been very defensive, so those fans in Dongchang have always been loyal to their lives. The people below us have been passed down from generation to generation and don't listen to the above. We don't care about this matter this time, whoever will do errands for us in the future, it's all right, if you protect us this time, those people in the court will be unhappy, you can explain the truth, and they will listen, but if you don't protect us, I'm afraid we won't be able to handle it in the future Will be soft!"

Liu Shouyou has been in a dilemma ever since he saw the case file. He comes from a family, and he understands these joints, which is why it is brought here for discussion.

Speaking of this, the opinions of several people have been unified, and there is no need to worry about being hindered when dealing with the outside world. The commander of the Jinyiwei Commander Liu Shouyou looked around, nodded at last, and said in a solemn voice:
"Assaulting an official is a serious crime. Our Jinyiwei is the son of the emperor's army, and beating him in the street is a serious crime of rebellion. However, Tianjin Jinyiwei Qianhu Wang Tong did it too ostentatiously. Although there is nothing wrong with it, we can't give him any praise. Let him be more cautious in the future after being reprimanded by the Secretary in the next article."

Several people bowed together and said:

"Du Tang's handling is wise!"

*******
On July 70th, the news that more than [-] people were beheaded by shelling the Jinhe warehouse finally spread in the capital. Wang Tong's reputation in the capital had been completely ruined. After the transfer, everyone spoke with a slightly more serious expression.

Many people have never seen what a cannon looks like, and the news about Wang Tong has become more and more outrageous. In the final version, Wang Tong is a demon with a height of two feet, his body is as hard as iron, and he can breathe flames and smoke. , there are legends of monster soldiers, heaven and earth shattered with a wave of hands, etc.

After the news spread, the words and officials were clear, and they were about to criticize them intentionally or unintentionally.

********
On the twelfth day of the seventh month, all the important ministers in Wenyuan Pavilion looked cautious. Every topic related to this Wang Tong was a headache. But it's only fifteen, and it will last forever, so why bother to offend the emperor.

Everyone was carefully observing the expressions of Zhang Juzheng, Shen Shixing, Zhang Siwei and the others, and they didn't know what these big shots were going to do today, anyway, the purlins in their early years would not do it themselves.

When Emperor Wanli arrived and made a pilgrimage, no one expected that the first person to speak would be Shen Shixing, a scholar of Dongge University and Minister of Rites.

"Your Majesty, I have this Chen Zuo. Tianjin Jinyiwei Qianhu Wangtong bombarded the shop in the street and beheaded more than [-] people. The world was shaken and there was an uproar. However, neither Jinyiwei commanded the envoy nor the Ministry of Punishment or the Ministry of War. Way, I don’t know why this is?”

Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and worried about Shen Shixing, thinking that you are presiding over the emperor's wedding, your future is boundless, why bother to make such a head.

Sure enough, as everyone expected, Emperor Wanli's face immediately turned cold. At this time, Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant of the cabinet, stroked his thick long beard, and said calmly:

"Both Tianjin Bingbei Road and the Qing Army Office's report said that it was the people from the Jinhe Warehouse who rebelled violently and beat the officials in the street. Wang Qianhu went to punish them, but the people from the warehouse closed their doors and resisted. That's why this happened. , Eunuch Feng, the news from the East Factory is also like this!?"

Feng Bao replied gently over there:
"What Zhang Ge said is that the Dongchang report has been handed over to His Majesty for review, and the reason behind it is the same."

Even Emperor Wanli was a little surprised at this moment, Zhang Juzheng said indifferently:
"Your Majesty, the Commander of the Jinyi Guard, Liu Shouyou, has made a clear investigation. Among the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard in Tianjin, four are disabled, and several of them will have to recuperate for a year. Who gave them the courage to attack the officials!"

At the end of the speech, the tone was a bit harsh, and everyone was even more surprised, but they didn't dare to say more, but Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing agreed in unison.

Seeing this situation, everyone realized that these people had coordinated long ago, and they all agreed with each other. Emperor Wanli was extremely surprised. After confirming that the wind direction in the court was favorable to Wang Tong, he couldn't help laughing. He tensed up again, and asked as calmly as possible:

"I think Wang Tong's work is upright and should be praised. What does Mr. Zhang think?"

Zhang Juzheng turned around and saluted Emperor Wanli solemnly, and said:
"Your Majesty, although Wang Qianhu's actions are justified, shooting people in the street during the Taiping Festival and disturbing the world is too unreasonable. The cabinet and the Ministry of War will reprimand you below. What do you think?"

After hearing this, Emperor Wanli was immediately discouraged, but the result was much better than he expected, at least Wang Tong was not punished.

At that time, Wang Tong's secret letter came into his hands. After reading the letter, although Emperor Wanli was full of enthusiasm, he worried about whether Wang Tong's actions would be criticized by the courtiers. They had to fight with each other, but they didn't expect it to be so simple and the matter would be over.

Not only the little emperor was puzzled, but even other people in Wenyuan Pavilion were quite confused. Zhang Juzheng took out a booklet from his sleeve, opened it for a few glances, and said solemnly:
"Your Majesty, Wang Tong killed too many people, which harmed the peace of heaven, but I still think that his actions are justified, that is, what he did was to maintain the order of the court. Your Majesty's face is in line with the laws and regulations of Ming Dynasty. The Jinyi army guards the emperor's soldiers and runs errands. When he was beaten by the mob, he offended the emperor and should be severely punished."

Everyone became more and more puzzled, thinking that if the wind direction changed, it would be fine if Wang Tong didn't pursue it. Isn't it absurd to talk about the legitimacy of what he did.

Zhang Juzheng paused, changed his position, and became facing Emperor Wanli, and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, I went to Jiangling from the capital, and returned to Beijing from Jiangling. I saw many academies in various prefectures along the way. Scholars often gathered in the academies. Some famous people gave lectures, recruited students, founded schools, and publicized The way of the sages is a great good thing, but some people take the opportunity to discuss the government, criticize the courtiers, and the local officials are dull, and they communicate with them, and even the courtiers Qingliu colludes."

The voice became more and more severe, and everyone in Wenyuan Pavilion was subconsciously awe-inspiring. Zhang Juzheng continued:
"What is the difference between these ignorant scholars criticizing the courtiers and the rioters beating the Jinyi soldiers? They are all violations of laws and regulations. If left unattended, it will definitely lead to disaster. Your Majesty, these ministers will be negligent in the early stage. The academic party in the Academy has already become a trend, if it is not dealt with, disasters will inevitably arise in the future, I think it should be eradicated immediately, please give me an order!"

Speaking of this, everyone suddenly realized, no wonder Mr. Zhang Ge wanted to speak for Tianjin Jinyiwei just now, so it was to draw this topic.

It is also to maintain the dignity of the court, if Wang Tong wants to shoot and kill people, then how should these academies criticize the government and tarnish the face of the court, how should they be punished.

Everyone in Wenyuan Pavilion exchanged glances. At this time, Shen Shixing, a scholar of the Eastern Pavilion, took the lead to bow down and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, the Academy is the source of the faction. To eradicate the scourge of factionalism, the Academy should be eliminated first. I ask a minister to ban the Academy, so as to rectify the style of scholars in the world. Your Majesty, please allow me!"

All the ministers didn't know what to do at this time, and they all bowed down and asked the emperor to play. Only then did Wanli remember that in Professor Zhang Juzheng's courses these days, he mentioned the way of righteousness and the style of Su Shilin many times. refers to something.

Emperor Wanli did not have a good impression of literati. Since Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant, proposed it, and the officials agreed, he was happy to push the boat along, pretended to think about it, and said:
"Elder Ge's plan for the world is worthy of praise. I have approved this matter. After the cabinet vote is drafted, it will be handed over to the Supervisor of Rites for approval."

The ministers praised Shengming again, but at this time, a few people in Wenyuan Pavilion remembered that some time ago, in Nanzhili, Jiangxi, Huguang and other places, there were academies who said that "big Zhang is not as good as Xiao Zhang, and Zi Weicai Is the prime minister", I don't know if it is related.

Zhang Siwei's expression was normal, and there was nothing weird about it.
