Chapter 1125: Take it calmly
The emperor's decree caused great fluctuations in the court, and for a time the twists and turns flew to the cabinet like snowflakes, and many civil and military ministers have understood through the will, Su Tiancheng began to rebel, and the emperor is going to do something to Su Tiancheng, whether it is in the early dynasty, or in private, most of the civil and military ministers are discussing and impeaching Su Tiancheng, thinking that Su Tiancheng is a rebellion, thinking that the emperor's disposal is very sacred, and those imperial histories and things are particularly busy and full of righteous indignation, They asked for severe punishment of Su Tiancheng, and they could see Huang Tingping, Yi Ligao and Zou Pingzhang excitedly, and they even made a request, asking the imperial court to send a large army, and they were willing to follow the army to conquer Su Tiancheng, and they must bring Su Tiancheng's head to the capital.
Then the emperor issued another decree to remove Su Tiancheng from the positions of prince and master and Jiliao governor, and at the same time, in the holy decree, it was clear that Su Tian became a thief, which was once again cheered by many court ministers.
In the face of such a situation, the cabinet has begun to fall apart, the first assistant of the cabinet Zhou Yanru is forced to be helpless, can only be in favor of the emperor's decision, but in his heart, the emperor's approach to such a pro-rate, is not cold, he does not know what to do, he has always known the emperor very well, and it is estimated that the emperor will not make a big move for the time being, but this time for what miscalculation, Zhou Yanru knows very well that the court can not be peaceful from now on, the Houjin Tartars in the north must be ready to move, such news, for the Houjin Tartars, It's tantamount to a pie in the sky, Huang Taiji won't care about Concubine Zhuang and Fu Lin who are still in the capital, as long as the opportunity is good, he will definitely attack Liaodong in a big way, and Su Tiancheng faced by the imperial court, compared to Houjin Tartar, is even more powerful. I'm afraid that people have been prepared for a long time.
Chen Xinjia, Zhang Guowei and Fan Jingwen have similar views to Zhou Yanru, thinking that it is not the time to tear his face, and the emperor is so anxious that the emotions of the civil and military ministers in the court have been completely mobilized. The news of Su Tiancheng's rebellion will quickly spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, and it will not be possible to continue to conceal it, which is a fatal blow to many people. In addition, Su Tiancheng himself is a Han Chinese, and he has the identity of a relative of the emperor, so his wisdom and wisdom have long been known to everyone. After such news is made public, some people will begin to oppose Su Tiancheng, but it is more likely that some people will start to take refuge in Su Tiancheng and help Su Tiancheng start to become stronger.
Qian Qianyi and Liu Zunxian were very much in agreement with the emperor's approach, and they preached everywhere that Su Tiancheng was plotting against him. It will definitely be punished by heaven, and the court will surely achieve the ultimate victory.
One thing that the Cabinet has taken note of even more. It was the imperial court and all localities that began to screen officials, and the task of this screening was not undertaken by the cabinet, but by Jinyiwei and Dongchang. It is a very big stimulus, and many people are still clear about Wei Zhongxian's affairs during the Apocalypse, but at this time, no one dares to speak against it. This must be the emperor's direct arrangement.
The speed of the purge is very fast, and soon many civil and military ministers were imprisoned, this purge is very harsh, and they don't listen to their own justifications at all, and they are arrested and thrown directly into the prison, of course, some ministers with silver, after sending out a lot of silver, can also be temporarily released, waiting for the results of the most treatment.
Even Qin Liangyu of Zhishi was not able to avoid it and was arrested by Jinyiwei.
This action caused a great shock, some ministers in the court couldn't help it, and felt that if it went on like this, not to mention suppressing Su Tiancheng's rebellion, even if Su Tiancheng sat still, the court might not be able to maintain it for a long time, those Jinyiwei and Dongchang Fanzi had great power, saying that whoever is Su Tiancheng's friend will suffer bad luck, and the relationship between Jinyiwei, Dongchang and the ministers of the imperial court is not very good. Usually I don't give these people a good look, but when it comes to such a time, there must be things like this.
When Fan Jingwen was discussing things in the cabinet, he put forward such a point of view many times, believing that Jinyiwei and Dongchang, relying on the trust of the emperor, acted recklessly, and if this continued, everyone in the court would be in danger of the civil and military ministers, and the country would be out of power.
Zhou Yanru also agrees with Fan Jingwen's understanding, but unfortunately under the general situation, he, the first assistant of the cabinet, must stand firm, and the palm seal eunuch Qin Sande has reminded him several times, the emperor is observing at this time, if there is a slight move, maybe he will be punished, so when presiding over the cabinet discussion, Zhou Yanru unceremoniously suppressed Fan Jingwen's suggestion.
Fan Jingwen has been waiting for an opportunity, he is also on a mission, to rush to Shandong, to meet Su Tiancheng, before leaving, the emperor will summon him, at that time, Fan Jingwen is ready to speak out.
When Fan Jingwen entered the Heart Nourishing Palace, he saw that the emperor's face was not good and he looked a little haggard.
This kind of situation has not happened for a long time, Fan Jingwen remembers that when he was still in the early years of Chongzhen, he saw that the emperor often looked like this, and he couldn't imagine that there was not much time for a stable life, and Daming fell into chaos again.
The emperor's voice seemed very rich, but the tiredness revealed in it had already been felt by Fan Jingwen.
"Fan Aiqing, you went to Shandong this time, I was very worried, I didn't want you to take risks, but Su Tiancheng insisted on rebellion, and I was also methoded, I know that you are loyal, there are not many people I can trust, I hope you go to Shandong, meet Su Tiancheng, and tell Su Tiancheng that I still believe in him, as long as he can turn back, I will make him a master ......"
I don't know what Lu Dao is for, hearing the emperor say this, Fan Jingwen didn't feel excited at all, it is said that he is going to Shandong on behalf of the imperial court, no matter from what point of view, the imperial court should not tear his face with Su Tiancheng, so that he, a cabinet scholar, will face great danger, Su Tiancheng has no worries about killing him, although Su Tiancheng may not do it.
The most important thing is that these measures made by the imperial court have actually forced Su Tiancheng to a dead end, at this moment the emperor said it, welcome Su Tiancheng back, are people stupid, they have the most powerful army in the world, they control the rich Shandong, they want money and money, they want people, why should people listen to you.
Fan Jingwen felt that when he went to Shandong this time, he actually lost his meaning, and the role was definitely non-existent, but this time he was able to meet the emperor, and the opportunity was rare, and what he should say must be said.
"Your Majesty, the minister must live up to his mission and do his best to persuade Su Tiancheng, the minister saw the emperor today, and there are other things he wants to say......"
"Fan Aiqing is thinking about talking about Jinyiwei and Dongchang, this matter, when the cabinet discussed, Aiqing has said it many times, and I know it."
Zhu Youzhen interrupted Fan Jingwen's words, he didn't want to hear this now.
It's a pity that Fan Jingwen's temper is also very stubborn, since he has seized the opportunity, he must say it.
In the past, it was very easy for the cabinet ministers to see the emperor, but now the situation has changed, the emperor generally did not participate in the early dynasty, and those who can enter the palace of nourishing the heart, except for Zhou Yanru, the rest of the people are difficult, including Chen Xinjia, the second assistant of the cabinet.
"The minister knows that the emperor is indignant, and the minister is also very indignant, Su Tiancheng eats the monarch and is loyal to the monarch, but now he has made the choice of rebellion, this is a great rebellion, the minister is eager to break the body into thousands of pieces, but there are many civil and military ministers in the court who have contact with Su Tiancheng, if you think that these civil and military ministers have problems, they will not be interrogated, and regardless of the reason, they will all be imprisoned, such a practice will definitely put everyone in the court in danger, in case some people can't help it, I am afraid that they will do unbearable things......"
"Fan Aiqing, I didn't want to talk about these things, you just said, are there some ministers of civil and military affairs who will go to Su Tiancheng, I just want to see what the ministers of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty think, I believe in them and entrust the country to them, but something really happened, what are the manifestations of these people, Su Tiancheng is obviously a rebellion, many ministers of civil and military affairs still think that this is not a big deal, and some people even think that it is because I persecuted too much, if I think I will tolerate it, Could it be that they are waiting for them to welcome Su Tiancheng into the capital? ”
Zhu Youzhen stood up, and his voice was much higher-pitched, Fan Jingwen didn't expect such an emotion at all.
However, Fan Jingwen did not flinch, this is his character.
"The minister thinks that the emperor is too worried, the adults in the court, I am afraid that there are some different understandings, the minister also suggested, first talk to Su Tiancheng, the minister petitions on behalf of the court, if Su Tiancheng insists on rebellion, the minister is fighting for this old life, but also with Su Tiancheng endlessly, the minister thinks, in the face of different voices in the court, the emperor is still tolerant, so that many adults can hate the same enemy, and jointly deal with Su Tiancheng......"
"Okay, I know what Aiqing means, I am a little tired today, don't talk about this, Aiqing will prepare well, and I will set off tomorrow."
Leaving the Palace of Nourishing Hearts, Fan Jingwen looked up to the sky and sighed, how could he not understand that he was not the emperor's most trusted minister at all, this time he went to Shandong, I am afraid that there would be no good results, the emperor was surrounded by Jinyiwei and Dongchang eunuchs all day long, but I was afraid that he had a very bad opinion of the ministers of the DPRK and China. Maybe his trip to Shandong this time is the result of those brocade guards and eunuchs, otherwise the emperor has already issued an edict and decided that Su Tiancheng had rebelled, and sent himself to Shandong for what reason, wouldn't this be a snake to add to the snake.
In the face of such an ending, Fan Jingwen handled it calmly, people always have to die, there is nothing remarkable, leaving the capital at this time may be the best choice. (To be continued......)
