Chapter 103: The Scepter
Before entering the capital, the little eunuch left by Chen Ju under the Yongding Gate reported all the events of Chen Ju's departure from Beijing in less than two days with a very fast speed.
First of all, Zhang Juzheng was not in the cabinet for a few days, and the cadres of the Hanlin Academy wore red robes to report the good news to the second assistant Lu Tiaoyang.
Subsequently, the Hanlin Academy edited Wu Zhongxing, the Hanlin Academy reviewed Zhao Yongxian, the criminal department member Wailang Aimu, and the director of the criminal department Shen Sixiao, these four officials who had successively impeached Zhang Juzheng, and the emperor had decided to punish them.
The front two canes are punished with 60 canes, and the two canes at the back are punished with 80 canes, expelled from the capital and cut down for the people, never used, and the distribution of frontiers is not included in the amnesty.
As soon as he entered the Yongding Gate, guarding the South Street of Zhengyangmen and the Temple of Mountains and Rivers and the Temple of Heaven and Earth, the two scarlet robe lords looked at each other, Chen Ju swallowed his saliva uneasily, rubbed his hands and said: "This, this is really fighting, Chen Shuai, you have to persuade the emperor's grandfather!" ”
Where did Chen Mu have the heart to listen to what Chen Ju was saying, he led the horse and froze, stunned for a while, and suddenly frowned, his face was full of evil and courage, and said to the eunuch who reported the news: "Dispatch the frontier, which frontier?" ”
"Hey, Jing Haibo, which frontier do you still have air traffic control, this is not what you do, this is the emperor's grandfather thinks that the matter is no longer the matter of the hundred officials in the court and the central government opposing Zhang Ge Lao's affection, it is being provoked by His Majesty's majesty, and he must not be punished like this!"
Chen Ju is a person in the palace in the end, and he knows a lot about the precedents of many things, so he was so anxious that he jumped up, seeing that there was no one on the street, he pulled Chen Mu aside and whispered: "The court cane is the usual method used by the ancestors and ancestors to the ministers who speak out, no, and the ministers who speak out, since Jiajing, they want to rip off their pants and beat - since Zhang Ge Lao was in power, the court has not used the court staff, as long as this stick is beaten, the reputation of the elder will be ruined."
"You have seen a man who has survived the rod alive and has no reputation, this is not to punish them, but to fulfill them!"
This is another degree of wealth and risk.
There are four people, two Zhang Juzheng students, two Zhang Juzheng fellow villagers, and their official qualifications in the DPRK are not as good as Chen Mu. Tomorrow he will be beaten dozens of sticks, and he will win the sympathy of the world, proving that the emperor is not open-minded, the first assistant is misbehaving, and he is defending the core values of the world.
Going to the frontier to give lectures can be as short as three or four years, or as long as more than ten years, but whenever there is a chance to turn over, it will be useless to never use anything, and it will have to be used.
Anything that can be used by people is a double-edged sword, since the country is governed by morality, it must accept the false high of the moral high ground; If you govern the country with religion, you must also accept the false truth in ignorance. Progress lies in removing the false and preserving the true, but more often than not, the false may not be true, the true is not necessarily false, and only the purpose of the person is transferred.
Before Chen Mu could say what he thought, another eunuch in idle clothes came from the long street and reported to Chen Ju: "Mr. Wang of the Hanlin Academy led a group of Hanlin into the palace to ask the emperor to pardon the four people, but they went to the old mansion of Zhang Ge again!" ”
Er Chen glanced at each other, and Chen Ju hurriedly said: "Let's go, let's enter the palace quickly!" ”
Chen Mu raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, the court staff will be beaten tomorrow, let's go to the old mansion and take a look first." ”
Mr. Wang of the Hanlin Academy is Wang Xijue, the chief official of the Hanlin Academy, and it is inevitable that he will take a group of Hanlin to Zhang Juzheng's mansion to intercede.
With public and private, he is the chief official, and he should intercede for his subordinates, not to mention that he is just going to be beaten to death, this kind of treatment is too much - I'm afraid that before Shang Shu, these four people didn't expect the emperor to take out the court staff.
Not to mention sixty, even thirty can beat people to death.
But who can they ask?
Empress Dowager Li? They can't see the Empress Dowager Li, and if they want to beg the Empress Dowager Li, they can only beg Feng Bao, how many people in the court can treat Feng Bao as a person in the past?
It's just Zhang Juzheng, these four people scolded Zhang Juzheng, and the overseer of Dongchang is eager to arrest them in the black prison and kill them, and he still pleads?
Then all that remains is to plead with Zhang Juzheng.
There are only two streets, but it will be there in a while, and from a distance, Chen Mu saw a field of official uniforms in front of Zhang Juzheng's mansion, and You Qi, who was wearing a square scarf and soap boots, was dressed like a foreigner, and he was making a gesture in front of the mansion.
Fun with these people.
Chen Mu took Chen Ju, the two of them took care of the scarlet robe, asked the little eunuch to lead the horse, and they blended into the crowd in the blink of an eye.
Wu Yang is in an official uniform, and no one can care who is who, anyway, it is his own people who will come here.
When people gather in one place, there is an aura, or momentum, the first assistant talks in front of the door, the voices are boiling, and the soldiers are the most sensitive to this momentum.
Scholars are very bold, this is a character that has been cultivated for a long time, especially in the confrontation against power, there is a natural bonus, success and failure have their own general trend, and there are high and low talents, the limitations of the times give them the upper limit, but probably this courage is very tough.
As for saying, there is nothing to talk about, and the king will be reported to the king when he dies?
I didn't dare to die to have the opportunity to say this, and it was already good to be able to die to repay the king when the general trend was gone.
For example, at the end of Qian Shangshu, when the Qing army came, he could put down his face and body and go out to surrender, and if the struggle in the Qing court failed, he could turn his head and connect with the underground organization that opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty.
But how many people can compare with his mobility?
Is it because scholars can't cross horses, wear armor, or lift swords, and can't go into battle? No, it's the scholars who can put on armor and leap on the horse and dance with a sword, all of them are dead.
Those who died, except for a few lines of desperate poems, where did they have the opportunity to leave a high-minded talk?
However, these people also made Chen Mu not like it, he and Chen Ju mixed in like no one, and the people around him didn't know each other when they saw these two scarlet robes, and they bowed to each other, eavesdropping on the words between them.
"I have a good relationship with Zhang Sixiu, and today I am broken. I want him to persuade his father not to take away affection, but to worry about the system. Later, he asked him to persuade his father to rescue the gentlemen, but he said that his father was loyal to the country! ”
A young editor of the Hanlin Academy told the crowd: "I told him that if my father takes love, it is not pure loyalty. Being a son can't dissuade your father, your son can't be persuasive, you are not a filial son, not a good son who dares to admonish, you father and son will be scolded by future generations! ”
Chen Mu arched his elbow to Chen Ju, and repaired Nunu's mouth towards the Hanlin Academy, Chen Ju whispered: "Champion Lang Shen Maoxue, he was originally beaten, and he himself held it down. ”
"There is also Li Yihe, and the old man of the same hill, I wrote to him, hoping that his high morality and respect can follow the example of rescuing Gao Gong, but he said that don't look at me as the champion, what kind of ethics I said is often useless. It is said that the reason why the Great Song Dynasty declined was because of us. On the contrary, it is said that Jiangling's seizure of the intelligence country is the way of the sages to rule the world, and let me not think that he is polite. I can't understand my talent yet, joke! ”
Li Yihe and Chen Mu knew that this was the character of Li Youzi, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, and it was also Zhang Juzheng's in-laws.
Chen Mugang stepped forward, as the saying goes, the beauty of a gentleman is an adult, and the donkey is not exempt from vulgarity, seeing that this champion Lang wants to do something but is not able to catch it, he wants to go over and give Shen Maoxue a trick, and then play a note to the court, once the song is suppressed, he will be beaten again.
The future of the province will not be mixed with the 'five gentlemen who win love' and regret it for life.
I saw that in front of the mansion, You Qi said to Wang Xijue with a pretended wry smile: "Alas, Master Wang......"
Before the words were finished, Wang Xijue couldn't bear it this time, and pushed You Qi away and broke in, this is the charge of the Hanlins, a large group of people broke into Zhang Juzheng's mansion, You Qi was pushed to the ground and couldn't stop it!
