A court discussion in the inner court ended with the emperor's "good decision-making".
When the three cabinet members returned to the room, Cheng Minzheng had an excuse to leave. He also saw that today's incident was very unfavorable to the cabinet and wanted to avoid it, but was stopped by Li Dongyang.
"Keqin, what do you think of today's events?" Li Dongyang asked.
Cheng Minzheng said, "Your Majesty said that it will take some time for Jin Yiwei to investigate, and things may turn around."
Li Dongyang shook his head and said, "In my estimation, Your Majesty wants to sentence Qiao to death, or else.”
Even if he doesn’t die, he still has to shed his skin.
Cheng Minzheng said helplessly, "Your Majesty has set the rules for Tingju long ago, and now we are just following the rules. Who would have thought that there is a Yanwu Hall, but if there is anyone in the Yanwu Hall now, would it be just casual?" Find someone to write a memorial."
Li Dongyang looked at Liu Jian.
Liu Jiandao, "It doesn't matter what Yanwu Hall's opinion is, it just depends on His Majesty's opinion. If Your Majesty didn't want this, how could the people in Yanwu Hall be like this? After all, the wind has changed." ”
Cheng Minzheng asked, “In this case, is there still room for making amends? I think so. If there are some people in the cabinet that His Majesty has to consider, or how should I put it, or His Majesty? In order to deliberately create some barriers between the cabinet and the Supreme Court, we must hold on to some past events."
At this time, Cheng Minzheng could only express his thoughts tactfully.
Some things just can’t be said directly.
The most critical point lies in Zhang Zhou.
Li Dongyang said, "Zhang Bingkuan, on the other hand, is neither in the Supreme Court nor in the cabinet, but he is still a member of the Hanlin Academy. So this time, even though he is the Minister of the Ministry of War, he has nothing to do with Yu Qiao's affairs. No sound came out."
Li Dongyang obviously understood. We have to follow the emperor's wishes and bring Zhang Zhou to the cabinet. Maybe things will not be so complicated.
Liu Jian asked, "Keqin, you often come in and out of Shangting. Is this your opinion?"
The target was directly aimed at the two-faced Cheng Minzheng.
Cheng Minzheng sighed, "The recent affairs of the Shangting Department are all completed by others. I go there occasionally. I am too busy with the affairs in the cabinet, and there are also matters waiting for me in the Hanlin Academy." , Alas"
Cheng Minzheng also hated this.
Who made the emperor insist on letting him serve in the Shangting Department?
In name, the cabinet must have one person in the Shangting Department, but this person happened to fall on him. And now when it comes to the dispute between the Audit Office and the cabinet, Cheng Minzheng is saying that neither side regards him as one of their own.
Cheng Minzheng seemed to realize at this moment that Liu Jian was taking his anger out on him and had no choice. The best way was to avoid it quickly, so he ignored Li Dongyang’s strange look and handed over his hand. Without even saying a word, he left the cabinet.
Ministry of Punishment.
Li Shishi, the right servant, handed the "pardon letter" to LiuYu, this means that Liu Yu is free.
Liu Yu asked, "I don't know about my official position."
Li Shishi said, "Your official position is assigned by the Ministry of Personnel. I don't know, but I heard that you were transferred this time." Go to Liaodong and be responsible for the transportation of grain and grass there." "Liaodong" Liu Yu didn't quite understand.
"Haha." Li Shishi said with a smile, "Liaodong is a good place with talented people. Think about it, the Ming Dynasty leveled the grassland, and the grassland Tatars now don't dare to move. The next step is to fight We must first subdue the Jurchens. We have already used troops on this trip to Liaodong, and you have used your talents to the fullest in the past."
"But"
Liu Yu had many questions that he wanted to ask, but he couldn't. .
Because after all, Li Shishi was not the person responsible for the appointment and removal of his official position, and it was true that he could only use some gossip to frustrate him.
Li Shishi said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Go back and rest for two days. You will be exhausted here. If you have no place to go, I still have a small courtyard in Beijing where you can stay."
"No need, no need."
Of course Liu Yu does not need Li Shishi to help him. Even though he is down and out, he is still somewhat powerful.
In his opinion, after leaving this yamen gate, there will still be people trying to curry favor with him, and the property he left behind through the Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit can still be put to use.
Liu Yu suddenly thought of something again and asked, "Mr. Xie Ge, don't think about it." It was settled before the year, but now it looks like it will be unresolved. Not only will it not be resolved before the year, but the person may also be charged with death after the year, and now he has been sent to the death row. What a good person."
It seems to be a pity, but he is still smiling.
This makes Liu Yu unable to understand Li Shishi's mentality, but now he only cares about going home to recuperate. This time in prison, he has been tortured, and he also wants to leave this hellish place as soon as possible.
Princess Yongkang has returned to the capital.
After returning from Santun Camp, she went straight to her house. She was in a good mood on the way home this time, because Cui Yuan had officially become the Marquis of Jingshan, which meant that her husband had become the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty. Official positions in the family can also be hereditary.
After returning from this trip, she immediately asked someone to prepare gifts to send to Zhang Zhou.
"Your Highness, don't tell me that Cai Guogong is torturing our prince-in-law and giving him gifts." Naturally, the mother-in-law didn't understand.
On the way back, Yongkang complained every day that Zhang Zhou abducted her husband, and also said that Zhang Zhou was "revenge of private hatred", but ended up giving him gifts when he came back, which was a model of inconsistency between words and deeds.
Yongkang said, "What do you know? This gift is to ask him to treat the consort well. If he doesn't give it, what will he do if he wears small shoes? He has obtained the title, but now whether he can return to Beijing depends on Cai Guogong." It’s just one-sided words, the emperor won’t listen to me now, what else can I do?”
It’s not to thank Zhang Zhou, but to curry favor with Zhang Zhou and let Zhang Zhou hurry upSend your husband back to the capital.
The mother-in-law thought for a moment and realized that the princess’s thinking was also very strange. It would be better not to explain it.
"Your Highness, I just heard that Mr. Xie Ge was questioned about the death penalty and may be sentenced to death row." The mother-in-law said again, "There have been people visiting the house in the past two days, and all the disciples have been sent away. Most of them came to congratulate me when they heard that the consort was promoted to a marquis."
"Congratulations, they are just a bunch of villains who are following the trend. The matter of Mr. Xie Ge has nothing to do with me." Yongkang obviously didn't want to go. Never mind the trouble.
The mother-in-law said, "There are many people here, including ministers from the court. They all seem to be concerned about this matter, and they also want to know what you and our consort have to say about this."
"Really?" Yongkang was a little satisfied and said with a smile, "It seems that from now on, our Princess Mansion will be able to care about important affairs in the court. It is no longer like before when no one comes to give gifts during the holidays. Everyone said I'm staying in the capital, why haven't I brought benefits to the Prince Consort?"
"Your Highness, you are wise, if someone comes to ask again, should you drive them away?" The old lady continued to ask.
“No, you should receive them if you should, but there is no need for the poor relatives of the Prince Consort’s family. They all want to get benefits from the Prince Consort, and they don’t care about their abilities. Why should they rely on them? If the prince-in-law comes to help them, if they are court officials, they will be given tea. The courtyard in the west wing will be left open for them to come in, sit down and drink tea, talk about the affairs of the court, and tell me everything they hear. I know very well."
"Yes."
"If anyone asks me and the Prince Consort for our opinions, just say that we are not qualified to speak to His Majesty. We can't influence anyone who wants me to intercede."
"Your Highness, you are saying that they deliberately talked about Mr. Xie Ge here to ask you to intercede."
"Otherwise, they know where they want to fly as soon as they lift their wings. I really think they just care about my attitude. They just want to let me go through the convenience of me entering the palace. Please plead with Mr. Xie Ge, but now, we no longer rely on this group of people, and we are not the same people."
The old woman seemed to understand what she was talking about, and nodded, "That's right. You are the eldest princess, you are a member of the royal family.”
“Wrong.” Yongkang smiled, “We are Zhang Bingkuan’s people, and the opinions of that group are ours. Brother Huang is on Zhang Bingkuan’s side. It is equivalent to agreeing with the emperor. Let that group of people know that since we are the new rich, we should stand with the mainstream of the court. They are out of date."
Pozi" ”
I thought you, the eldest princess, had a lot of backbone, but it turned out that you were already ready to surrender.
He still scolded Zhang Bingkuan like this
He was basically planning to wear a pair of pants with Cai Guogong.
It is a pity that the civil servants in the court thought they could bring Cui Yuan to the "right path". Now it seems that even if Cui Yuan does not want to join Zhang Zhou, the eldest princess will let her husband know the current affairs. JunJay.
Cai Guogong’s Mansion.
On this day, Jiang Pingyu was still talking to Han Qing about the renovation of the ancestral home of the Zhang family in Jiangnan. The so-called ancestral home was not the big house that Zhang Ye inherited, but the old home of the Zhang family outside the city. I don’t know where I found the house.
Before Zhang Zhou left, he specially allocated dozens of taels of silver, saying that it would be enough to send someone over to take a look.
Because the Jiang family still has some connections in Nanjing, this matter will also be completed by the Jiang family.
But it was Li Chun who came in and told, "Madam, the people in the main courtyard said that there have been a lot of people visiting in the past two days and they can't handle it anymore. Can you send a few more people over?"
"What's going on?" Jiang Pingyu said, "Before I left, didn't I say that people from the court would not come to visit easily? Normally, it would be fine if only one or two people had nothing to do and came to have a look. Why? There are more people now."
Han Qing said, "When I went out yesterday, I saw someone sitting at the door, saying that I must see the master."
"Who is it?" "Jiang Pingyu frowned.
I have seen weird things, but I have never seen anything so weird.
The Minister of War in the imperial court is someone who ordinary people can meet whenever they ask.
“I don’t know, they seem to be scholars, wearing plain clothes, and they are quite young. Some of them are still there. Looking from the side, it seems that someone in the court has been arrested, and it has something to do with my master. He said that my master is also a scholar and should help."
Han Qing obviously didn't know so many twists and turns. .
At this moment, Lin Yi came out and said, "Madam, in fact, they are here because of Mr. What the old man said is true. They just want to try their luck here." Jiang Pingyu said, "Sister, you know better. How can we understand that these masters are not at home? I can't control it. Let people go out and let them go."
"It's useless." Lin Yi said, "Some people in the capital are talking about it. They did not come to ask for mercy, but to cause trouble for Mr.
Lin Yi shook her head and said, "I heard that it was because of cliques and other matters. Our master has never cared about it. However, the people whom Mr. Xie Ge hired to impeach were promoted by me. Later, they After winning the battle in the northwest, His Majesty felt that it was Mr. Xie Ge who was causing trouble for nothing and secretly looking for trouble with Yan Guan. I don't know what it was."
"Sister, what do you think we should do? That's good." Jiang Pingyu had no idea.
Nowadays, I nominally listen to her on major family matters, but at critical moments, I still need a knowledgeable and reasonable person to take charge of the overall situation.
Lin Yi said, "It's best to just close the door as the master said. I believe that this matter will fade away in a few days. Then the Jin Yiwei and the people from the city defense Yamen saw someone at the door. If something goes wrong, they will definitely be dispatchedPeople come. ”
“Yes, yes, let’s close the door.” Don't go out recently," Lin Yi said, "Qing'er, you also have distant relatives over there, right? Just give me something to pass on. Now that we are a noble person, everyone comes to see us, so we just say that the master is not at home, what? Nothing is convenient. We must also harden our hearts. ”
“Hmm. "Han Qing also nodded hastily.
Jiang Pingyu sighed, "It would be great if Mingshan was at home. She was guarding the door and no one dared to come in." The master has also been away for a while, and I don’t know when he will come back. This year, without the master around, the house seems to be less lively. ”
Li Zhang’s office.
Li Zhang is busy sorting out the things at hand, because rumors say that he will step down as the admiral and eunuch of the East Factory at the end of the year. He can only be Solve the problems that can be handed over to the next person, especially those that cannot be passed on to the next generation, so as not to cause trouble.
There are many things that have happened in the east factory. It can only be known to the current supervisor. If people behind him find out, they will probably use it to their advantage.
Especially the person who takes over next time is probably Yang Peng, who is someone Li Zhang feels he cannot afford to offend. The most important point is that this Yang Peng used to be the eunuch of the East Factory, and he has a wide range of connections. From when Li Guang was in power to now, he has been able to prosper in the past few years, which is naturally not easy.
"Father, everything that needs to be done has been done, but there is something." Mou Bin came over to report the matter to Li Zhang.
Li Zhang said, "Is it Mr. Xie Ge's business?"
p>“Yeah. Mou Bin said, "Mr. There are some things that Xie Ge insists on refusing to say. This does not require punishment and is probably inappropriate. "
"Use what you need, and what should you worry about when you are worried about the elder? When Bachelor Cheng came in, what should I do?" Li Zhang said, "Here, everyone must be treated equally. ”
