Chapter 1272 Check it out for me
One letter, two letters, three or four letters, five letters, six letters, seven or eight letters, nine letters, ten letters, countless letters, flew into the Xiyuan and piled up.
There were many memorials to impeach Zhu Pingan, but Xu Jie, the second assistant in the cabinet, did not protect his student Zhu Pingan at all, and did not use his power to block these memorials. Instead, he was happy to see them. Successfully provided various conveniences, so that these impeachment memorials quickly piled up on several cases before Emperor Jiajing.
For Xu Jie's knowledge and interest, the Yan Dang group in Wuyi Palace spoke highly of and affirmed him.
At first, the Yandang group in Wuyi Palace were a little worried. Because today Yan Ge is recovering at home due to illness. Xu Jie, who is in charge of the cabinet, and Xu Jie is Zhu Pingan's teacher, is worried that Xu Jie will protect his student Zhu Pingan. I didn't expect Xu Jie to be so sensible and completely biased towards us.
Yes, yes, as everyone said, Mr. Yan Ge has completely tamed Xu Jie.
In the same way, since Xu Jie joined the cabinet, he has been walking on thin ice for more than a year. He has not dared to stand up and sit with Mr. Yan Ge. The old man only dared to "shoulder to shoulder" and did not dare to "junli". He also told people many times: Without the support and guidance of the elders of Yan Pavilion, there would be no Xu Jie today.
Xu Jie is one of his own, but I am too worried.
Due to Xu Jie's connivance, memorials to impeach Zhu Pingan soon piled up on several cases before Emperor Jiajing.
After completing his daily routine of meditation, Emperor Jiajing took a fresh elixir with the morning dew and began to read through the memorials piled on several cases. One hand is about cultivating to become an immortal, and the other is about political power. Both hands must be grasped, and both hands must be strong. This is the principle that Emperor Jiajing has always pursued.
The Holy Inquisition is arbitrary and powerful. As for power, once you get it, it will last forever.
In fact, it is not so much that Emperor Jiajing was obsessed with cultivating immortality and couldn't extricate himself, it is better to say that Emperor Jiajing was obsessed with power and couldn't extricate himself.
The purpose of Emperor Jiajing's cultivation of immortality was to achieve immortality and sit on the dragon chair under his buttocks.
"Huh? There are many more memorials today than in the past few days, but what big thing happened to the government and the public?"
Emperor Jiajing saw that there were many more memorials on several cases than in the past. Young Master, he couldn't help but frowned. There was a flood in Jiangnan a few days ago. Is there any bad news down there? Why is it so difficult for me?
"Go back to Your Majesty. It is my great blessing that everything is going well in the government, the public, and everywhere in the past few days."
Huang Jin, who was serving at the side, bowed forward with a wink, lowered his head, and replied respectfully. road.
Huang Jin is not only the censor of the ceremony, but also the eunuch of the Dongchang. The Dongchang is the supervisory agency, secret service agency and secret police agency of the Ming Dynasty. It is equivalent to the emperor's guard dog and is responsible for monitoring the government and the public. The duty of looking after the emperor's house.
"Everything is well? Why are there so many memorials?" Emperor Jiajing shook his head and said expressionlessly.
"Back to the Holy Spirit, I know something. These memorials may be to impeach Mr. Xiao Zhu." Huang Jin lowered his head and replied.
"Zhu Ping'an?" Emperor Jiajing was slightly surprised.
"Your Majesty is wise." Huang Jin lowered his head and complimented.
“This is strange. In the past, it was Zhu Xiaozi who impeached others. I heard that some people gave Zhu Xiaozi the nickname of ‘The First God of the Ming Dynasty’. Why is it that today he is being impeached by others? Impeached? "
Emperor Jiajing was very impressed by Zhu Pingan. He was very interested when he heard that it was the memorial to impeach Zhu Pingan.
In the past, it was Zhu Ping'an's fault for impeaching others. Why is he being impeached today, by so many people? Not long ago, didn't Zhu Ping'an make a great contribution to the fight against the Japanese, and he will be rewarded based on his merits? !
How many days have passed before he was impeached by so many people?
This made Emperor Jiajing very interested.
As Emperor Jiajing spoke, he read the memorials. The first memorial was requested by Xu Zonglu to become an official. Xu Zonglu cared for Liaodong, and the Liao people relied on him. He had always made great achievements, but he was impeached some time ago. , now that he was old and sick, he requested to serve as an official and recuperate. Emperor Jiajing paused for a moment and approved with the word "approved".
While Emperor Jiajing was reading the memorials, Huang Jin stood aside respectfully, as quiet as a statue.
After Emperor Jiajing approved the first memorial, he opened the second memorial. Sure enough, this memorial was the impeachment memorial for Zhu Pingan. It was the first impeachment letter jointly signed by Liu Wannian and Taiping County Magistrate. Memorial.
Emperor Jiajing looked through it with great interest, wanting to see what outrageous things Zhu Pingan had done that provoked so many people to impeach him.
"What? During the flood, Zhu Ping'an raised grain prices regardless of the lives of the people and accepted a bribe of 80,000 yuan from grain merchants?"
The content of this memorial is very sharp, conclusive and reasonable. According to reports, Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but frowned after reading it.
Looking to the back of the memorial, Emperor Jiajing also saw the original document of Jingnan's official document defining grain prices attached to the back of the memorial.
This is very convincing.
After reading it, Emperor Jiajing put the memorial aside with an expressionless face and flipped through the next memorial. Sure enough, it was another memorial to impeach Zhu Pingan. The content was similar to the previous one. Both of them were impeaching Zhu Pingan. During the flood, he colluded with grain merchants, raised grain prices, and accepted huge bribes.
Another letter, still a memorial to impeach Zhu Pingan.
The content of this letter is different. This impeachment memorial takes character as the starting point. It impeaches Zhu Pingan for his moral decline, disrespect for superior officials, and no love for the people. It describes Zhu Pingan as a person with no character. villain.
Next, I read several memorials to impeach Zhu Pingan one after another. Generally speaking, they used Zhu Pingan's collusion with grain merchants and driving up grain prices as the starting point. However, there were also several impeachment letters that impeached Zhu Pingan from other angles. , for example, Zhu Ping'an opened a restaurant called "Zhu Ji Fast Food" in the capital, openly using dirty pig waste as raw materials, cooking it as meat, harming the people, and competing with the people for profit.
"Huang Ban, what do you think?" Emperor Jiajing asked Huang Jin calmly after reading the memorial.
"Back to your Majesty, Mr. Xiao Zhu is far away in Jingnan. There is no investigation into his actions, but I dare not lie. However, I do know about the affairs in the capital. This 'Zhuji Fast Food' opened by Mr. Xiao Zhu The restaurant was opened after Mr. Xiao Zhu inspected Taicang and borrowed his wife’s dowry to pay the fine in Taicang. I came to this restaurant, which specializes in braised pig meat. The price is cheap and the taste is good. There are many local people around, and the business is booming. I have done this business and tried it once. The three vegetarian dishes only cost ten yuan, and they taste really good."
Huang Jin bowed and replied.
"Oh? There is such a thing. If Huang Ban can say that the taste is really good, I am also interested."
Emperor Jiajing seems to be interested.
“Back to the Holy Spirit, Zhu Ji’s meat dishes are all made from the following water, and some of them cannot be put on the table.” Huang Jin advised tactfully.
"Forget it then."
Emperor Jiajing just said that as the ninth-five emperor, how could he eat such things as pigs in the water that are not on the table?
"Huang Ban, in consultation with the cabinet, send someone to Jingnan to check what Zhu Xiaozi has done, and then deal with it when you come back. Well, you can also send two people from Dongchang to follow. , let’s go for a run together.”
Finally, Emperor Jiajing gave the order calmly. (End of this chapter)
