Chapter 330: Xu Youzhen's Fear
Yu Shiyue is the secretary of the criminal department, and under the official system that has banned the cabinet, the secretary can be directly responsible to the emperor, and he is already the biggest official. In addition, he was promoted by Emperor Daizong Zhu Qiyu and was deeply trusted. And he has a good relationship with several other scholars, that is, even Jin Ying and him are also his own people.
With such an environment, such popularity, and such a network, it is no wonder that Yu Shiyue still dares to question loudly when facing Jinyiwei, with an expression of asking guilt.
It's just that Yu Shiyue is really excited, and he doesn't want to think about it, if there is no order from above, how can Jin Yiwei dare to do something to an important minister like him? And when he came, he must have been ordered by the emperor.
As if looking at the clown jumping off the beam, looking at Yu Shiyue jumping up and down there, Ji Guang shook his head with a look of disdain, "Lord Yu, this official only knows that he was ordered to come to search, and he asks you to cooperate, as for whether you want to sue the royal court, whatever." Come on, search. ”
As soon as the words fell, with a wave of his big hand, several wolf-like brocade guards behind him rushed into the study, and then according to the news they got before, they quickly found the location of their secret doors.
These letters are naturally evidence of Yu Shiyue's private contact with Yingzong Zhu Qizhen. It is said that it should be destroyed, but Yu Shiyue also wants to leave a certificate, in case one day he has no way to go to the south, at least it is also a witness, indicating that he has been regarded as a person of Yingzong for a long time.
This could have given him another piece of evidence of prosperity and wealth, but now it has become the driving force behind his going to hell. So at the moment when he saw that these letters appeared and were about to be taken by Jinyiwei, he was crazy and rushed forward like crazy, wanting to regain it in his hands and destroy it.
Ji Guang, who had been guarding against him for a long time, just grabbed his shoulders with a big hand, and said in a joking tone: "Lord Yu? What are you going to do, is there really something unseemly? ”
"Ahh Feeling that the big hand was like an iron tong, he couldn't move, and Yu Shiyue knew that the possibility of wanting to take it by force was gone. At that moment, he changed into another face, and said to Ji Guang: "Master Ji, return the things to you, what do you want, what do you want the official to give you, I can give you all the family property, it's priceless, okay?" ”
At this time, Yu Shiyue seemed to want to buy Ji Guang, and now looking at it, there is only one way to go, otherwise, once these letters of collusion with Yingzong are delivered to Daizong, it is conceivable what kind of fate will be.
Valuable wealth who is not impressed. If the case is investigated privately, there may be a change. But this time, so many Jinyi guards came, and they were ordered by the emperor, where did Ji Guang dare to desert. Looking at Yu Shiyue, who was begging for mercy, he just shook his head coldly, "Lord Yu, I knew why I had to do it today." Hey, someone's coming! Take Master Yu away, take care of him, don't let him kill himself. ”
"Yes." Several tall and sturdy brocade guards came over and wrapped Yu Shiyue up, and suddenly the entire Yu Mansion once again fell into a state of chickens flying and dogs jumping.
The movements of the Yu Mansion naturally could not be hidden from the other ministers. In line with the sad view of the rabbit and the fox, and in line with the truth that the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the governor Shi Heng, the military department Shangshu Yiming, the household department Shangshu Jin Lian, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Shi Pu and other courtiers rushed to the palace.
Although they didn't know exactly what happened, they could guess that it had something to do with the loyal father. I couldn't figure out why the emperor wanted to help others deal with him, so I thought about what to say after seeing the emperor, how to dissuade his relatives from hurting, and the enemies acting quickly.
A group of courtiers soon came to the outside of the Jinluan Palace, but their arrival was not immediately received by Emperor Daizong, but when they stood outside the hall one by one, they could hear the roaring voice under the anger in the hall, and at this moment the ministers who came to intercede looked very ugly.
The news passed to each other between the eyes all thought that the situation was serious, and it seemed that the emperor was really angry, and things were not getting better.
It was about half an hour, and the movement in the hall became smaller and smaller, and after a while, Jin Ying, the chief eunuch, walked out, and when his eyes fell on the ministers, he also sighed softly: "Everyone, please come in, the emperor wants to see you." ”
Just from Jin Ying's face, it can be seen that things don't seem to be good, but this is not the time to inquire about things, the ministers immediately entered the Jinluan Palace, and they saw Zhu Qiyu, who still had anger on his face, sitting on the dragon chair and glaring at them angrily.
With that gaze, the ministers sensed that the atmosphere was not right. But when they came, they still knelt on the ground one by one, shouting Long live the emperor.
In the past, after seeing each other, Zhu Qiyu would say that he was flat, and then everyone would come together together. But this time he didn't say anything, and the courtiers could only kneel there and couldn't get up.
Time seemed to stop here, and there was no sound in the hall. In such an atmosphere, the courtiers who knelt on the ground did not dare to look up, as if they were afraid of angering Long Yan because of this.
Under the sound of the falling needle, an urgent wind sounded, and then a series of letters were thrown out of thin air and fell at the feet of these kneeling courtiers, "Look at it, this is the so-called loyal minister, who has been entrusted with important responsibilities by my trust, and turned around to do such a rebellious thing, it is really in vain to be a minister, a minister in vain!" Do you still want to intercede with him? Or do you also do the same apostasy as he did? ”
The letters flew all over the sky, and soon the courtiers reached out to pick them up, but after a brief look, they felt that their scalp was numb, which turned out to be a handwritten letter written by Emperor Yingzong to Yu Shiyue. All the courtiers can be regarded as old ministers under Zhu Qizhen, and they will naturally not admit mistakes in the emperor's calligraphy.
Knowing what this thing is, he also knows why Zhu Qiyu is so angry, and he understands even more that Yu Shiyue is really hopeless this time.
As a courtier, wanting to serve the second master can't be tolerated in the first place, not to mention that there is a handle in the hands of others, so if you don't die, who will die?
The result seems to be clear at a glance, no one is willing to say anything for Yu Shiyue, on the contrary, everyone is still thinking about how to make Zhu Qiyu believe in himself. Don't be affected by this incident. Naturally, there are also courtiers who kneel on the ground like Yu Shiyue, who have secretly passed through Zhu Qizhen in private, in the final analysis, just to be more secure. But everyone who does this is now in a cold sweat, and there are even those who learn Yu Shiyuewei's private messages, who have already thought about burning the letters that come and go when they go home, and don't leave any evidence.
All the courtiers did not dare to say anything more, and one by one they slammed their heads on the ground, shouting that they were guilty. A picture of wanting to change the past.
Zhu Qiyu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, watched this scene very seriously, and his heart was very clear. I'm afraid that in these kneeling places, those who claim to be loyal ministers will also have half-heartedness, but he really can't kill them all.
The imperial decree must be issued by himself, but in the final analysis, the specific person who does the work still needs to rely on them. If you kill someone if you suspect someone, doesn't that mean that you are going to become a bare-bones commander? But even if things have signs of something, if he is handled lightly like this, he will be unwilling, and this will lead to the current scene of knocking mountains and shaking tigers.
Yu Shiyue's betrayal certainly made him angry, but he didn't get so angry, after all, he was just a criminal department secretary, and after killing him, there were more suitable people who came to the forefront. But he still pretended to be so angry in front of the ministers, in order to tell everyone that whoever dares to do this in the future will have serious consequences.
Seeing that everyone claimed guilty, Zhu Qiyu felt the strength of the imperial power, and felt that at this moment, his royal spirit could finally shock the world. Governing a country not only has a killing and arbitrary style, but also has to be humble and honest. Blindly suppressing for a long time will only rebound more, and this is not the work of wise men. When he took a breath, the Emperor Daizong changed another face and said: "All the ministers, let's settle down, I know that you are all loyal ministers, and that Yu Shiyue is completely different, and the future Ming Dynasty will still need to rely on our monarchs and ministers to govern together."
Beating a stick to give a sweet date, this extremely ancient method of governance is universal at all times. Just like now, as Zhu Qiyu's words fell, one of the ministers in the Jinluan Palace was grateful, calling the emperor Shengming, and it was not an exaggeration to say that Daizong was the first emperor of the ages.
After a piece of praise, the next step is to do the real thing. Many people accused Yu Shiyue on the spot, and some people directly said that such an impure-hearted courtier should be beheaded in public as an example.
Of course, Yu Shiyue wanted to kill, not only that, but also to make a bigger movement, and also to warn those courtiers who also had two ambitions. Zhu Qiyu has a clear understanding of this, and of course he is allowed to invite the courtiers. He also said that the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and Jinyiwei would be tried together, and finally spread his evil deeds to the world to warn everyone.
Among the ministers who pleaded, Xu Youzhen, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, was impressively listed. He was afraid that he was the most beneficiary of these people, so he took this opportunity to finally take a step forward and act as the acting of the Criminal Department. Although he has not yet been promoted to the next level, he has officially become the secretary of the Criminal Department, but judging by his appearance, I believe that that day is not long away.
At this moment, while his heart was excited, he also had a fear of Yang Chendong, the loyal father. If you can have today, you naturally have a hard work, but it is more about Yang Chendong's plan, and now she will finally get the position, Xu Youzhen's first understanding is to be obedient from now on, otherwise, who knows if today's Yu Shiyue will be tomorrow's self?
