Chapter 180: The Son of Heaven Sap Splash Shoufu said bluntly
"Why endure?"
After unfolding this banner, Wang Tong naturally recognized the character, but he still couldn't help but ask.
Zou Yi, who was sitting there, shook his head and said in a deep voice:
"I don't know if I'm a brother, but my father-in-law must have a reason for writing this for you."
"Someone sent the news to me last night, telling me that the official Qingliu of the Jingshi was going to join me jointly, is it for this matter to endure, do I still have to be afraid of those scholars?"
Wang Tong was already a little excited, but Zou Yi was stunned when he heard his words, it seemed that he only knew the reason, and only after a little silence did he speak:
"Except for those who have bad brains, who will really speak out for the righteousness, they are the swords of the court bosses, and there are almost one or several second-grade or above officials behind this joint name, Brother Wang, who have you offended?"
Wang Tongteng got up from his seat, took a few steps back and forth, and shouted in a low voice:
"Who I offended, I don't know myself, I offended all the people who opened the Qinglou Casino in Jingshi, but what did they count, they don't know, don't Grandpa Zhang know who is protecting me behind my back, who is it, who I offended when I fell to the ground!?"
When Zou Yi heard his words, his body shook, and he said with a wry smile:
"The affairs of the world, my father-in-law can't protect it, and I have to let Brother Wang, you have to endure it, and there are few people who can't afford to offend his old man......"
At this point, Wang Tong froze, and then sat back on the chair in frustration, his face was as gray as he was, I don't know why, seeing Wang Tong, who had always been calm and calm, looked like this, which made Zou Yi feel closer.
There was silence in the room for a while, and Zou Yi said in a low voice:
"Just the two of us say this, there is indeed a disaster coming now, but since the righteous father wrote this word, it means that the matter has not reached the step of killing the head and destroying the clan, if you really make such a big mistake, the righteous father will not pay attention to you at all, brother Wang."
This is mean, but it is true, Wang Tong took a deep breath, straightened up, turned his head and asked:
"Brother Zou, what should I do now."
Zou Yi smiled bitterly and said:
"What else can you do, it's nothing more than to change the money and manpower, just wait!"
"Your Majesty, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and various sections submitted by the General Secretary today are all participating in the impeachment of Jinyi Wei Baihu Wang Tong relying on the powerful, rampant lawlessness in the Beijing Division, looting the people's fat and ointment, and the people's grievances are boiling unstoppable......"
“…… Shuntian Mansion is the official office of the herdsmen of the Jingshi, and the Yin Mansion of the Mansion is the herdsman of the sky, but the small hundred households roared in front of them, and there were no rules......"
“…… Since Wang Tong joined the Jinyi pro-army on an errand, he has been brutal and ferocious, lawless, insulting and beating officials in the street, and corrupting the ethics of the ......"
“…… Greedy for money and lustful, he does everything to loot money, as an official of the imperial court, he actually opened a shop on the street, and in the land of fireworks in the green building, he donated and collected taxes, corrupting the ...... of the imperial court"
Lu Xiaodong, the right capital of the Imperial Palace, was there to read aloud with a fold, and in the Wenyuan Pavilion where the cabinet was located, the cabinet scholars, the six departments and nine secretaries were sitting there with serious expressions.
The little emperor of Wanli, who was sitting on the right seat, had a face like frost, and listened to the recitation below expressionlessly.
The fact that Emperor Wanli was in the Huwei Martial Arts Pavilion, that is, only the people in this room were qualified to know, and for various considerations, the officials did not mention this in the recital.
After reading the letter of Lu Xiaodong, the imperial history of the right capital, Liu Shubin, the imperial history of the left capital, knelt down and said solemnly:
"Your Majesty is the king of the world, you should read the books of the sages, learn the principles of the sages, govern the country and the world, and rule over hundreds of millions of people, but Your Majesty has been obsessed with vulgar martial arts for more than 100 days, pro-villains, and ministers risk death to play, imploring Your Majesty to be close to the way of the sages, the ministers of the sages, and the evil villains to be far away."
The words were sonorous and powerful, and after speaking, he kowtowed to the ground, although everyone in the room had a serious appearance, but at this time, their eyes were focused on the face of Emperor Wanli.
The little emperor was still a round and fat face a year ago, but now he is a little angular, Zhang Juzheng, Shen Shixing and others have all seen Emperor Jiajing, and now Wanli still has a vague appearance of his grandfather.
Wanli was silent for a while, but a smile appeared on his face, and he asked gently:
"Liu Aiqing, is the current political envoy Pan Guangde?"
Everyone was a little stunned, thinking why Emperor Wanli asked this irrelevant word, Liu Shubin raised his head and replied:
"Back to Your Majesty, the envoy of the General Administration Department is none other than Pan Guangde."
"Pan Guangde did a good job, the widow wants to reward him well, the excerpts handed down from the past, except for those that are expedited, are presented every other day, today these are sent over in less than an hour, the errand is so attentive, the widow should be rewarded well."
After Emperor Wanli finished speaking, Liu Shubin was stunned, he also heard the sarcasm contained in Emperor Wanli's words, Emperor Wanli sat there, and asked with a smile:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the widow has grown a lot, his body is much stronger, and he feels full of energy when he is studying in the court, and it is such a good thing for me, Liu Aiqing, you said it is a vulgar thing, could it be that the widow is weak and sick to fulfill your meaning?"
This sentence is too heavy, Liu Shubin replied eagerly:
"What the minister said is just to let Your Majesty read more of the sages and understand the truth of the sages, and there is no other meaning, please Your Majesty to be clear, please Your Majesty to be clear!"
Shen Shixing, a cabinet scholar and the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly stood up and said respectfully:
"Your Majesty's dragon body is strong, long live a thousand years, and the courtiers are also very happy to see it, and Liu Zongxian also means the same in his heart, but Wang Tong acted arrogantly in the capital, looted the money in filthy places such as the Qinglou Casino, and it is said that he was also sent to the palace, if this is spread to the outside world, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of the Heavenly Family......"
"The news of such a filthy place, I really don't know how Shen Aiqing and those inspectors of the Imperial Court of the Metropolitan Procuratorate know, yesterday's report from Dongchang also said that there are often officials from the Beijing Division who enter and leave the Qinglou and drink alcohol, could it be that these people are also filthy, and they seem to have ruined my reputation as my officials."
The smile on the face of the little emperor of Wanli has disappeared, and he still replied coldly, the Zongxian mentioned by Shen Shixing is the name of the imperial history of Zuodu.
The bigwigs such as the cabinet scholars and the six ministries and nine secretaries have never seen such a performance of the little emperor of Wanli, but Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet sitting next to the emperor of Wanli, has always had a calm face, and has no eyes or signs, if he does not move like this, then the rest of the people can't stop.
"Your Majesty, the minister risked his death, Your Majesty can remember the story of Jiang Bin and Qian Ning of Wuzong Dynasty, those two villains took advantage of the trust of the Son of Heaven to harm Zhongliang and plot a great rebellion, although they were finally ambushed, but they still caused chaos and almost overthrew Sheji, although this Wang Tong is not a big evil, but the wolf's ambition has been revealed, Your Majesty must take precautions, lest it cause a catastrophe!"
Shen Shixing knelt there embarrassed, but Zhang Siwei, a cabinet scholar and secretary of the military department, stood up again, and played loudly, Emperor Wanli picked up a cup of tea, took a sip and said coldly:
"Zhang Qing's family is comparing Wu Zong to me!?"
Ming Wuzong is the Emperor Zhengde, in the official evaluation of the Ming Dynasty is an absurd emperor, Zhengde died, Jiajing succeeded to the throne and made "succession without heir", to show that he inherited the legal system of the Ming Dynasty, not the inheritance of Emperor Zhengde. The evaluation of this Emperor Wuzong can be imagined, Wanli asked such a rhetorical question, Zhang Siwei had to kneel down and kowtow to ask for guilt, if not, I am afraid that a "big disrespectful" hat will be buckled.
"Your Majesty, the pro-virtuous minister, the far villain ......."
"Li Shangshu, how many wives and concubines do you have, how many close friends do you have, have I ever asked you, the widow doesn't remember asking, then why do you care so much about my private affairs?"
Li Youzi, the secretary of the ministry, stood up, and was blocked back by Emperor Wanli's words, and now in the court meeting, the courtiers tried to quote the scriptures, but the Wanli Emperor did not reason with them at all, and directly refuted them sentence by sentence.
On the right hand side of Emperor Wanli, several eunuchs of the celebrant eunuchs, from Feng Bao and Zhang Cheng to several attendants below, were all low-browled and expressionless.
The one who is also qualified to speak is the cabinet deputy assistant Lu Tiaoyang, but this old gentleman has never come out on this occasion, and the old god is sitting there, just not moving.
Zhang Juzheng shook his head slightly, he didn't expect that Emperor Wanli would have such a great determination to defend that Wang Tong, the Son of Heaven was so close to this person, and the two were similar in age, if they were allowed to develop, they would inevitably be uncontrollable in the future and could not be let go. Thinking of this, Zhang Juzheng stood up, first saluted solemnly, and then said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the Heavenly Family is selfless, Your Majesty's every move is a major event in the world, the imperial historians have heard about it, this Wang Tong has bad deeds, the sky is angry and resentful, if Your Majesty is dedicated to protecting, wouldn't it be infamous in front of the people of the world, if so, the reputation of the country, the ancestors and the ancestors are damaged, how should Your Majesty deal with yourself?"
Zhang Juzheng, the first assistant of the cabinet, got up and admonished that Emperor Wanli could no longer argue like that, and his face, which had been tense, suddenly collapsed, and he stood up from the dragon chair in a hurry, and shouted:
"If you want me to be like this, if you want me to be like that, since I ascended the throne, I have taken an idea myself, what does it mean for this son of heaven to be, you should be ......"
When these words were shouted, everyone in the Wenyuan Pavilion, whether it was the cabinet scholars, the Sixth Department and Jiuqing or the outside secretary, whether it was the eunuch who was the celebrant or the little eunuch who was waiting outside, they all knelt down when they heard this.
Zhang Juzheng knelt down calmly and said in a gentle tone:
"If Your Majesty does not accept the advice, the ministers will submit it to the Queen Mother, and ask the Queen Mother to make a holy judgment."
Hearing this, Emperor Wanli's anger vanished, and he sat back on the dragon chair dejectedly.
