Chapter 1017: Eliminating Traitors for the Country (1)
Yang Chengzu and Ninth Sister came over, not only to visit relatives, but also to convey a goodwill for the Son of Heaven, so that these nobles can rest assured that Banzai is very satisfied with their performance. Most of these people are fierce and timid people, and if one person is put down by the official, maybe the whole group will disperse. So this time, Jiajing also appeased them and promised heavy profits to ensure that these people would not give up halfway.
The most open-minded one was Guo Xun, who nodded and said, "Your Majesty can remember the painstaking efforts of the courtiers, and there is no regret about dying of old age." We all have Danshu iron coupons at home, and we will rest with the country, and if we live well, our life will be good. It is our duty to advance and retreat with Long Live together, if someone dares to eat inside and out, the old man will not let him go. ”
As usual, eating and drinking and gambling money, Guo Xun found an opportunity to call Yang Chengzu to the secret room, and the look on his face was also a little anxious, "Virtuous son-in-law, what the old man asked you to say to Banzai, have you done it?" ”
"Father-in-law, don't worry, I have already told Banzai for you about the incident in Shanxi, and you can't be blamed for that incident. When you arrive in the place, you are not familiar with the place, and it is not common to be deceived? Banzai is a reasonable person, and he will not be too demanding in this matter, and as for how to deal with the aftermath in the future, the son-in-law will find a way by himself. Speaking of which, the son-in-law has something to do with his father-in-law, do you have a reliable relationship with Yansui? ”
Guo Xun came out of the platform this time, not so much as meritorious service, but atonement, all he wanted was to wash away the suspicion of befriending the White Lotus thief through his own performance. Yang Chengzu told him that not only can that sin be washed away, but in the future, the Son of Heaven may have to reward him for his performance on the platform this time.
He was overjoyed, and he tried his best to meet Yang Chengzu's requirements, he had run an industry in Yansui, and he also had some favors in the army, so he asked Yang Chengzu about his intentions in finding people, and wrote a few letters, and asked his confidant's family to be sent to the three sides of Yansui.
The other lords were not very sure how useful these pieces were. Guo Xun's share of the twists and turns actually came from Yan Song's handwriting, this person is timid and does not dare to come out to fight against the stage. But behind the scenes, writing recitals for others, borrowing other people's hands to fight with the ministers, there is no pressure for this kind of thing.
The knowledge level of the nobles is limited, and they don't know how useful these folds can be, so they can only keep telling Yang Chengzu in his ear that they must ensure that they are not killed by Yang Tinghe along the list, and the rest doesn't matter.
The counterattack of the nobles did not really play a role in deciding the outcome of the victory, but these people collectively jumped out to express their position, which is indeed a bit abnormal. By the way, it makes people have a very bad feeling, and they always feel that it is those noble ministers who have gained status by virtue of their birth and bloodline, and they want to return to the court and hold power.
This kind of thing is definitely unacceptable to civil officials, but at the moment, it can only be regarded as a minutiae, and even the more sensitive ministers can't care about cracking down on this momentum. With Guo Xun in the book for a short time, Jiajing's decree to compile the "Great Rite Debate" was finally completed and distributed to the minister.
This great ritual argument can be regarded as an official announcement material, and from Jiajing's standpoint, it elaborates on the legitimacy and importance of respecting filial piety as the Bo Kao and Xingxian Wang as the imperial examination. This kind of behavior can almost be regarded as Jiajing taking a stand and publicly announcing that he will inherit his biological father's bloodline and ignore the bloodline of Xiaozong.
In the Hanlin Courtyard, all the Hanlin people were in turmoil, and the stars were holding the moon, surrounding Yang Shen, "Brother Sheng'an, you have also seen this great ceremony, this kind of thing is simply a shame, if we recognize this thing, we will be sorry for the sage book we read." ”
"We are Hanlin, we are the prime minister, how can we not make a sound about such an important matter? Don't forget, those predecessors are the role models for us, even if we are broken and white, we can't shake our determination. ”
"That's right, let's go back to Shangben and fight to the end with these Afu villains, we must not let them do whatever they want, we must do something."
Yang Shen waved his hand to stop everyone, "Senior brother, do you think it makes sense in this situation?" Even those military generals and ministers have now learned to reason in the last book, we are dignified Hanlin, do we want to fall to the point of scolding the martial artists? ”
Hearing him say this, all the ministers were speechless and looked at him, not knowing what he was going to say next. Yang Shen sneered a few times, "If the Son of Heaven wants to do things, someone has to do it, and what he relies on is Huo Weixian, Fang Xianfu, Gui Cao, and Zhang Fujing. Now there are some local governors who also stand up to support the Son of Heaven, these people are the emperor's confidence. If we want to break this breath, we have to find a way from these minions, as long as we deal with the minions, are we afraid that the tiger can hurt people? ”
Many of the students in the Hanlin Academy come from all over the country, and many of them are local nobles, and they are deeply involved with the local government, and it is not good to say who has relatives and friends with those governors and ministers. Even Yang Shen was reluctant to mention the names of those who supported the Son of Heaven, to avoid internal disagreements, and at most he was talking about his thoughts. The Son of Heaven was first cut off to weaken the Emperor's side and then forced to submit.
A Hanlin hesitated and said: "Brother Sheng'an, I heard that not long ago, there was an official who impeached the court's internal ministers for their mistakes, and the article is reasonable, the text is clear, and the evidence is conclusive. But as a result, not only did the Son of Heaven not pursue the crimes of Xungui, but instead let the fans of Dongchang arrest those officials. It's not that we're afraid of being caught, but we're just worried that even if we get on the book, we can't help those cronies, but we may be plotted. The most important thing is that this kind of dedication is meaningless. ”
"Brother Ren, I never said that I would hand the fold to the king, or the Son of Heaven or something, our majesty, this trick is useless to him." Yang Shen's eyes showed a murderous aura, which was also the kind of determination and courage he had since returning from training in the southeast battlefield.
"In the past, the sages punished the young and the righteous, why don't our generations follow the example of the sages and beat the drum to the traitors? I have already found out that the boat on which Zhang Fujing and Gui Cao were traveling will arrive in Beijing in the next two days. Let's get rid of these two thieves first, and we can also let Banzai see our faith. Those lords are very timid, and if you give them a little color, everyone will go back. What we have to do now is to teach them a lesson and let them know that our generation is not easy to mess with. ”
Several Han Lin looked dazed, "Brother Sheng'an, I didn't understand what you mean......"
"What I mean is that if we want to protect them, we'll do it ourselves. To deal with people, there is not necessarily only one way to deal with people, since those eagle dogs can put irrelevant people in prison, we don't have to rely on the law department for everything, some things, just do it yourself. ”
As he spoke, he stood up, rolled up his sleeves, and felt a pair of fingers from his waist. This thing is used by martial artists when they practice boxing and fighting, and the literati of the Ming Dynasty are not weak scholars, and many people also practice martial arts, so they are no strangers to this thing. But Yang Shen is not a good martial artist, and it is quite strange to bring this thing on his body.
"I asked my own nursing home to ask for it, and it was up to me to get rid of traitors for the country."
"Lynching? Brother Sheng'an, such an act violates the law of the country, it doesn't seem like much, right? Moreover, my generation is a scholar, and in the end I have to rely on my fists and feet to kill people, which is a bit embarrassing. Besides, if there are guards around those people, we won't be able to get close. ”
"Rest assured, we just need to choose a suitable place to ensure that we will not encounter guards, and we also guarantee that after the killing, we will not bear criminal responsibility. Don't forget, Zuo Shun Gate. ”
