Wenyuan Pavilion is on duty. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Shen Jiu pushed the door and saluted Shen Shi and said: "Pavilion Elder, this is the recital of Sichuan Dao Yushi who has impeached Zong Hai to Zong, and the first assistant asks Pavilion Elder to read it." ”

Shen Shixing stared at the recital, did not stretch out his hand to take it, but stroked his beard and muttered: "This recital has always been drafted by Zhang Puzhou. What did he mean by giving it to me? ”

Shen Jiudao: "Zhang Puzhou confessed that Lin Zhongyun is the protégé of the elder of the pavilion, and this negligence should be proposed by the elder of the pavilion." No matter how the elder voted for it, he agreed. ”

Shen Shixing heard the words, and then took over the chapter.

Shen Jiu asked tentatively on the side: "Do you want to return this omission to Zhang Puzhou on the grounds of avoiding suspicion?" ”

Shen Shixing waved his hand and said, "Isn't this a mutual prevarication?" What's more, he said that with the old man's intentions, the horse is the first to look forward. ”

After speaking, Shen Shixing got up and said hesitantly: "The old man remembers that this letter has been on for several days, and the intention at that time was to stay in the middle. But what does it mean to vote in the cabinet today? ”

Shen Shixing immediately said with relief: "I think it was the Queen Mother who put pressure on Your Majesty, and Your Majesty sent a chapter to the cabinet to draft." Otherwise, according to common sense, it will also be after the Beizhen Fusi interrogated Yan Chao, and His Majesty will be convicted again. Your Majesty wants to protect the tide in the Queen Mother, but you can know that the grace of this monarch and minister is not shallow. ”

"But why does the Queen Mother want to put Zong Hai to death, Elder Ge, can you save his life?" Shen Jiu suggested.

Shen Shixing asked rhetorically: "How is the public opinion in Shilin recently?" ”

Shen Jiu smiled bitterly: "It's still like that, the scholars and the people are all scolded, and they are fat with the world, and they even have to kill the ministers who risk death to admonish them. ”

"Even the Kedao Yanguan, who originally attacked the Chu Party three times a day, has now stopped. In the past few days, he forced the palace in Zhang Puzhou, and asked him why he was a minister who did not say a word and did not give a death to the Son of Heaven. ”

Shen Shixing thought to himself, the officials had spied on the holy will before, and they were very hard working when they liquidated the Chu party. Later, he even attacked the cabinet, scolded Zhang Siwei with a slap in his face, and forced Zhang Siwei to write and resign.

Now that such a major event is encountered, the official wants to Zhang Siwei again to resist the anger of the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven. ”

Shen Jiu sighed: "What can a Yanguan do? Liquidating Zhang Jiangling, they heard the wind and fell into the rocks. Now the people's grievances are boiling, and they want to ask for their lives for the people but shirk them one by one, I am not concerned about my life, but I don't want to force Your Majesty to be filial piety, and the state is in a dilemma. Look how well they talk. ”

"Some people also say that this King Lu and the Queen Mother are all members of the Son of Heaven's family, and the so-called inexorcisable relatives, if the foreign ministers interfere rashly, they will see you if they move, and they want to gain and lose."

Shen Shixing knew that he was so authentic: "The officials have always been moved by the wind, and there is no wind, it is difficult to expect them to tell the truth!" ”

Shen Jiu said: "Pavilion Elder, Yu Keyuan is not afraid of death, he has united several ministers to write a letter to give direct advice. Yu Keyuan said to me, he knew that this move was the same as Zong Hai, and he was more than lucky, but he had to do it. ”

Shen Shixing brushed his sleeves and said: "Confused, this is an egg hitting a stone." In this way, he is even more solid, and he instigated the world's public opinion to confront the Son of Heaven, the Queen Mother, and the crime of coercing the people's hearts and the people's hearts to coerce the holy will. ”

Shen Jiu said hurriedly when he heard this: "Elder Ge, did you say that Keyuan's move is useless?" ”

Shen Shixing said: "The officials have a saying that is right, and if you move, you will see it, and you will lose if you want to gain it." The Son of Heaven may not agree with what the Queen Mother did, but he also suspects that the Chu Party is making an article to protect itself by attacking the Queen Mother. Yu Shenxing's letter made His Majesty suspicious. ”

Shen Jiu said angrily: "But Zong Hai is clearly not the Chu Party!" You and I know this matter best. ”

Shen Shixing reprimanded: "What do you and I know about? We said that Zonghai is not the Chu Party, so Your Majesty doesn't believe it? The more we argue, the more suspicious Your Majesty becomes. ”

Shen Jiu lowered his head and said, "Zong Hai, he asked for his life for the people and ended up like this. Ge Lao, you have to think of a way, now not only Zong Hai, but even Yu Keyuan has to go in, he is also recommended by Ge Lao, you recommend it to Your Majesty, otherwise persuade him to stop. ”

Shen Shixing sighed: "I have long been unable to return to the sky, I can't persuade you to delay the tide, and Yu Shenxing will not listen to me." ”

"Although I am the prime minister, there is nothing else I can do at this moment except patience. Do you know that His Majesty has ordered Zhang Whale, Zhang Cheng, and the right attendant of the Criminal Department, Lang Qiu Huan, to lead the Jinyi Guard to confiscate Zhang Jiangling's house in Beijing. ”

Shen Jiu was shocked: "Your Majesty doesn't even care about the last love. ”

At this time, Lin Yanchao had been detained in prison for more than ten days.

The edict of Miki is so powerful that the courtiers are terrified.

There are even rumors in Beijing that Lin Yanchao has been tortured and died in the prison of Fusi in Beizhen.

Now this North Town Fusi Heavenly Prison is in the prison.

Lin Yanchao was wearing a green shirt and sat on the seat for a long time. In front of him, more than a dozen people, including the captain of the Jinyi Guard, the wrestler, and the cell leader, sat relatively respectfully.

Lin Yanchao held the scroll in his hand and said with a smile: "Since you have come to my door and listened to me talk about the study of merit, it is nothing. But I am a prisoner, and you are all my rulers. This makes me really difficult to say how to speak to my teacher. ”

Several brocade guards heard this: "Sir is the emperor's teacher, if it weren't for being trapped here, we wouldn't be able to see the dignity on weekdays." We have always been close to Confucianism, and we know that Mr. is not a Confucian, and what he says is committed to being applied to the world, so I ask Mr. to take us in. ”

There was also a brocade guard who said with a smile: "Yes, if you can get the teacher's teachings, and torture those officials in the future, we will also understand their thoughts, and it will be much easier to do things." ”

The crowd laughed.

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "It's okay, since you want to learn like this, I will talk about something that everyone understands, I have two courses of scripture and history." I'll talk to you first. ”

"Have you read the Spring and Autumn Period, Shangshu?"

All the brocade guards shook their heads.

"Analects, University?"

The brocade guards also shook their heads.

Lin Yanchao explained: "In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't talk about the scriptures, my Thirteen Classics of Confucianism are just aimed at the word 'benevolence and righteousness'. ”

The Jinyi guards couldn't help asking: "The Thirteen Classics only talk about benevolence and righteousness?" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Yes, tens of millions of words are just for the purpose of describing 'benevolence and righteousness'. Benevolence and righteousness are not the study of Confucianism, but the study of three generations, the study of Zhou Gong, and Confucius, and then the word benevolence and righteousness are written in the six arts. ”

On the main hall of the Forbidden City.

The Son of Heaven reads the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms.

Crossing with Yuan Shao's war officials and taking the power of the Holy Dynasty. had to behead the head of eight people, including Chun Yuqiong, the general of Shao, and then broke down. Shao and Zitan burst away lightly. Whoever beheaded more than 70,000 people, and carried hundreds of millions of heavy property.

Cao Gong received the Shao book, and he had to promise and burn the books of the people in the army. Wei's Spring and Autumn said: Cao Gongyun: When Shao is strong, he can't protect himself, and everyone cares!

Reading this, the Son of Heaven covered the volume, and he just read a paragraph of the Wei Shuwu Emperor Ji. After Cao Cao broke Yuan Shao, he obtained the letters that his subordinates had secretly exchanged with Yuan Shao in the past, and then Cao Cao didn't look at it, and burned it down.

At this time, the temple was announced. Zhang Cheng, Zhang Whale has arrived.

Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale were followed by several eunuchs, and they brought six large wooden boxes.

Zhang Cheng said to the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty, Zhang Juzheng's house has been confiscated, and the gold and silver are being finely counted. ”

The Son of Heaven walked to the big wooden box, stroked the box and said: "When Zhang Juzheng was alive, although his words were not right, there was a sentence that was right, the ministers' recitals could not be trusted, and they should listen to their words and watch their deeds. I think this sentence is true. ”

"You have found out all the letters and salutes from all the civil officials above the seventh rank of the dynasty in this box, especially the letters from the Hanlin Imperial History to the officials, and the salute list, I want to see what kind of faces they have behind me? I'm not Cao Cao, I don't have that kind of big heart. ”

Zhang Whale and Zhang Cheng glanced at each other.

"What is benevolence? Confucius once said, benevolent, love people. The science of science is to love others and love others. I understand it as loving oneself and loving one's neighbor. In fact, he and he have been together since they were also a human character. Lin Yanchao said eloquently, he didn't make a big sense, and every Jinyi guard could understand it.

"Three thousand years later, all the scriptures are cloudy, and it is really inseparable from a benevolence. The subtle words and righteousness permeate the sage books and have been passed down for thousands of years for readers. The word benevolence has infiltrated into the daily use of the people. Because of the word benevolence, he and his parents, relatives, township, family and country are one. ”

"For example, when you were a child, your parents used to say, "I am working for you like this, not for you." In fact, it is a fallacy, you can tell your parents that they are so worried about it, but it is just for themselves. ”

All the brocade guards laughed when they heard this.

"The love of parents is kindness, because to love their children is to love themselves. In the same way, we talk about the rise and fall of the world, and the husband is responsible. Why are the people worried about the country and the king, it is not a good thing for us, because the world and the people are one, and loving the country is also loving themselves, which is also a benevolent word. Therefore, the ancients were able to do so, and filial piety began with the family, and finally stood up. ”

Hearing this, all the brocade guards were stunned.

In the main hall, several eunuchs took letters from the box and sent them to the Son of Heaven, why did the officials send letters to Zhang Juzheng, and how many respects they offered, one by one.

Among them, there are many ministers who are usually dignified and honest and professed, or the most effective officials who attacked Zhang Juzheng this time.

The letter is full of flattering words, and there are even such words in it. In the early years of Jiajing, God looked south to Jingtu, and he would give birth to strangers and send them to the king. In other words, the prince is the father, the prince is the father, and the father is the father.

The Son of Heaven sneered again and again.

After reciting for an hour, the Son of Heaven looked up at the top of the hall and said, "The courtiers and workers of the Manchu Dynasty have negative hearts, and they have negative hearts. ”

Zhang Whale reported: "Your Majesty, Zhang Juzheng's house has been counted. ”

The Son of Heaven sneered and asked, "Geometry? ”

Zhang Whale said: "Two thousand four hundred taels of gold, 17,700 taels of silver, three thousand seven hundred and ten taels of gold, nine hundred taels of gold jewelry, five thousand two hundred taels of silver, 10,000 taels of silver jewelry, and 16 jade belts. The silver is about 200,000 yuan. ”

The Son of Heaven turned around, wrapped his hands around Zhang Whale's collar, gritted his teeth and asked, "Didn't you say that Zhang Juzheng has at least two million taels at home?" ”

Zhang Whale trembled with fright.

Zhang Cheng knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, the slave has never said this, it was all said by Minister Yang Sizhi." ”

The Son of Heaven looked at Zhang Cheng again, and his eyes were full of fierceness.

Zhang Cheng sweated on his forehead and said: "Your Majesty's Zhang Mansion has turned upside down, and Qiu Huan, the servant of the Criminal Department, can testify for the servants." The slave really didn't greed for a tael of silver. The minister speculated that unless it was the Zhang Mansion and hid all the money in advance, it would be so much. ”

When the Son of Heaven heard this, his body shook and muttered: "Back then, Yan Song copied his house and copied more than two million taels. Xu Jie, who can be called a virtuous minister, instructed his sons and nephews to encroach on more than 100,000 mu of private land at home, and even Feng Bao embezzled more than 2 million taels. ”

"Zhang Juzheng has been the prime minister for ten years, and he has a net worth of 200,000 taels. I don't believe it! I don't believe it! ”

After speaking, the Son of Heaven sat on the dragon chair dejectedly.

Lin Yanchao finished speaking the word benevolence, and said to the Jinyi guards: "In addition to benevolence, there is also righteousness. The so-called righteousness is profit, the great righteousness is the benefit of the world, and the small righteousness is the benefit of the individual, so it is righteousness to sacrifice small interests and make great profits. ”

"In the past, Cui Zhu, the powerful minister of Qi State, killed the king of Qi, and the history of Qi Taishi, Cui Shu killed his monarch in the history books. Cui Shu killed him and ordered his brother to be a historian. The historian replied that Cui Zhu killed his king. Cui Shu killed again, killing three Taishi queens in a row. Cui Shu asked the historian, your three brothers are dead, are you afraid? The historian replied that it was a matter of duty, and if he wanted to kill, he would kill. ”

"Are the four brothers of Qi Taishi not afraid of death? Just because it is a small righteousness to live and steal a living, and the duty is a great righteousness, so the righteousness is an unshirkable responsibility. Like us, it is difficult for small people to eat and eat three meals, and even if they give up small righteousness, it is difficult to become great righteousness. But for the people of the official and the king, it is the great righteousness to ask for the life of the people, so it is better to bend than bend, and to die rather than return. ”

After Lin Yanchao finished speaking, several detectives of Jinyi Wei who were listening in the side room on the side of the side said angrily: "This person is so cautious, he still doesn't show a drop of water after saying it for a day. ”

Another said: "It's been half a month, and I can't ask a useful word." I have never seen such a person since I became a Jinyi guard. ”

An old detective sneered: "If this son is not a loyal minister, he is a traitor!" ”

The Son of Heaven in the palace has shown remorse for the matter of copying Zhang Juzheng's house.

Zhang Whale said: "Your Majesty take care of the dragon body, Zhang Juzheng is greedy for ink is true, otherwise with his money and reward, where is the 200,000 silver." And all kinds of tributes sent to him by the courtiers are on the record. ”

"This greedy ink 10,000 taels is a corrupt official, and greedy 1 million taels is also a corrupt official."

"Shut up!" The Son of Heaven got up and kicked Zhang Whale angrily, and then said, "Yes, you are mistaken." Yang Sizhi kept saying that Zhang Juzheng was greedy for ink, but since he became an official, he gave Zhang Juzheng three festivals and two gifts at a time, and bribed a total of 100 taels. ”

"I can't remove Yang Sizhi from office, otherwise I will admit that I am wrong. These people are all traitors, and I won't need any of them in the future. ”

Zhang Whale and Zhang Cheng glanced at each other, knowing that the emperor was also angry, if there was really no one, then the Ming Dynasty would be empty.

After half a ring, the Son of Heaven asked: "I ask you, are there any officials in the court who have never given Zhang Juzheng a respect?" ”

Zhang Cheng said: "Back to Your Majesty, there is." ”

"Who? Read it out! ”

"The criminal department is still in the book and is clear."

"Yan Shangshu is the end of the court, he is upright, he is not attached to Zhang Juzheng, I am not surprised at all," the Son of Heaven was pleased when he heard this, and then said, "Yan Qingtian is worthy of being the pillar of the court, and he intends to be a simple Yan Qing as the secretary of the ministry." ”

"Is there anyone else?" The Son of Heaven asked.

After Zhang Cheng listened to the eunuch's advice on the side, he wanted to stop talking.

"Why Zhiwu?" The Son of Heaven frowned.

"The minister didn't dare to say it."

"Who is it? You don't dare to say that in addition to Yan Qing's family, there are still people in the court who dare not be courteous to Zhang Juzheng, could it be that this person is the queen mother? ”

Zhang Cheng knelt down and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it's Zuozhong Yunlin Yanchao!" ”

The hall was silent.
