Chapter 1966: Shooting oneself in the foot
Xiyuan, Wuyi Hall.
Emperor Jiajing is sitting high on the dragon chair, holding a memorial in his hand, and is reading through it. Yan Song, Xu Jie, Li Ben, and all the officials on duty in Wuyi Palace are standing in the hall. Mr. Wang, the Minister of the Department, was also among them.
Wang Shilang bowed his body, looking at his eyes, nose and heart. Although he did not dare to raise his head to look at the holy face, he kept listening with his ears.
He was feeling very excited and expectant at the moment. Of course, he was also a little uneasy. After all, his reward plan required the Holy Emperor's nod. If the Holy Emperor didn't nod, his plan would be a piece of waste paper.
However, he is not particularly worried about this, he is still relatively confident.
Princess Ning'an has reached the age of marriage, and the Emperor was not satisfied with the two choices of consort chosen by the Ministry of Rites.
Zhu Ping'an, the number one scholar, is also well versed in military affairs. The emperor will definitely be satisfied with the son-in-law who comes to his door.
Moreover, the most important thing is that their connections were insidious about Concubine Shen's intentions. Concubine Shen was very satisfied with Zhu Ping'an. Although Concubine Shen is not Princess Ning'an's biological mother, she was raised by Concubine Shen after the death of Princess Ning'an's biological mother, Concubine Cao Duan. If Concubine Shen is satisfied, this matter will be very interesting.
You must know that the most powerful wind in the world is the pillow wind.
Just when Wang Shilang was anxious and looking forward to it, Emperor Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon throne, closed the memorial, looked at his highness, and slowly asked in a normal tone, "Who proposed this reward plan?"< br>
"Return to the Holy Spirit, I was the first to propose it." As soon as Wang Shilang heard Emperor Jiajing's inquiry, he couldn't wait to stand up.
Although this reward plan was proposed by him, if it were normal, he would have to consult the eyes of Yan Maoqing and other senior officials of the strict party, and only after getting their approval could he stand up and say that this plan was proposed by him.
However, the opportunity is rare, and who doesn’t want to show his face in front of Emperor Jiajing? If he can leave a good impression on Emperor Jiajing, his future career will not be smooth, and Wang Shilang doesn’t want to miss this opportunity.
Perhaps, this is the only chance in his life.
Therefore, as soon as Emperor Jiajing opened his mouth, Wang Shilang did not bother to consult the senior officials of the Yan Party and stood up directly.
"It's you." Emperor Jiajing nodded.
"It's Wei Chen." Wang Shilang expressed his stance again with excitement.
"Come here, pull this bastard out for me and beat him with fifty royal sticks!" Emperor Jiajing changed his face for a second, and cursed with a dark face, causing Wang Shilang to be pulled out and beaten. Fifty imperial staffs!
Huh? !
Hit the court stick! ?
Since the Dali Conference incident, with the exception of Zhang Sijing and others from the Sixth Section last year who missed the word "Wanshou" when they congratulated Wanshou and were beaten with forty imperial sticks, no one has ever been consecrated. It's my turn to hit the imperial staff, why is it my turn? !
And it’s still fifty imperial staffs!
Hit the staff ten more times than Zhang Sijing and the others! !
Wang Shilang seemed to have been struck by a bolt from the blue. He was stunned and did not react for a long time.
It wasn't until two imperial guards came over and dragged Shilang Wang back by his arm like a chicken that Shilang Wang reacted. His face was pale, his whole body was trembling, and his voice was trembling as he begged for mercy.
"The Holy One calmed down his anger, but the humble ministers were calm and concerned about the imperial court. The plan they proposed was also to relieve the Holy One's worries."
Wang Shilang was like a pig being dragged to the slaughterhouse by its ears. The fat pig kept begging for mercy while being dragged.
"For the sake of his concern for the imperial court, please forgive him once." Several members of the strict party also stood up to plead for him.
"Shit's heart cares about the court! Shit wants to share my worries! Don't you think I know that Zhu Ping'an is already married and has a family, and a child is about to be born! You let me My Ning'an is marrying Zhu Ping'an, do you want my little princess to be his concubine? Where do you want the court's face to go, and where do you want my old face to go? "
"You still care about the imperial court and share my worries! Bullshit! You are clearly causing trouble for me! You are corrupting Chaogang!"
"Pull me down and beat me hard!"
"Don't blame me for not predicting what I said. If anyone dares to intercede for him again, then go out with him and get the imperial stick together!"
Emperor Jiajing had a dark face, cursed loudly, and ordered the imperial guards to disgust him! Pull him down and beat him severely.
Seeing that Emperor Jiajing was so angry, he said harsh words in advance, and other members of the Yan Party were also silent and did not dare to open their mouths to plead for Wang Shilang again.
After all, although they are both members of the Strict Party, their relationship has not reached the point where they have difficulties.
Friends who are dead Taoists, don’t be poor Taoists. It’s up to you, Wang Shilang, to take the punishment on the imperial staff yourself.
Soon, the screams of Wang Shilang, like killing a pig, could be heard outside the hall, one after another.
Seeing Emperor Jiajing's expression of displeasure, Huang Jin quietly bowed and retreated, found a young eunuch, and whispered a few words.
The little eunuch went out to find a rag and stuffed it into Wang Shilang's mouth. Suddenly Wang Shilang's screams turned into a muffled groan.
"How was the investigation into Li Tianchong's drunkenness on the day Jiaxing fell?" Emperor Jiajing asked.
"Back to the Holy Spirit, after investigation, it was found that Li Tianchong, the governor of Zhejiang, had the habit of drinking. Sometimes he used wine to drown his sorrows, sometimes he used wine to cheer up, sometimes he drank delicious food with wine, sometimes he drank two glasses of wine, and sometimes he drank too much; On the day of the fall of Jiaxing, Li Tianchong did start a fifty-year Shaoxing daughter's career, and he did send the chef from the mansion I went to buy venison and other ingredients, and I did drink alcohol at home in the evening, but it was difficult to verify whether he was drunk. In addition, I investigated several officers of the governor's Yamen, and they also confirmed that Li Tianchong smelled of alcohol, but they were all It’s unclear whether Li Tianchong was drunk or not.”
The Minister of Punishment stood up in the hall and replied.
"Is there any investigation by the factory guard?" Emperor Jiajing asked again.
"Li Tianchong did drink that day, but whether he was drunk or not needs further verification." Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, reported back.
"At present, we can only investigate that he drank alcohol, but cannot confirm that he was drunk." Huang Jin also responded.
"No need to check anymore! It is enough to find out that he drank alcohol on that day. Are there many examples of drinking mistakes in history? Chunyu Qiong lost Wuchao after drinking together, Zhang Fei lost Xuzhou drunk, former Zhao Liu Yao Drinking and losing the country. Even if Li Tianchong is not drunk this time, next time, and next time, I will give him a good memory this time!"
Emperor Jiajing waved his sleeves and said with a sullen expression.
Hearing that Emperor Jiajing wanted to give Li Tianchong a long memory, everyone in the Yan Party couldn't help but look happy.
In this court meeting, although Wang Shilang received a beating from the imperial cane and offended the Holy Emperor, Li Tianchong was going to be in bad luck this time.
In comparison, Qingliu's losses were even greater!
I’m really looking forward to it.
The Holy One asked Li Tianchong to take a long memory and see how to punish Li Tianchong!
"Remove Li Tianchong from the post of censor of Zuoqiandu and governor of Zhejiang, and demoted him to the fifth rank of Yingtian Military Ministry Doctor!"
Emperor Jiajing announced the punishment of Li Tianchong.
When everyone in the Yan Party heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. Li Tianchong was demoted from a feudal official to a fifth-grade doctor, haha.
"It just so happens that you haven't discussed Zhu Ping'an's reward yet, so the vacant post of governor of Zhejiang will be taken by Zhu Ping'an. Well, Zhu Ping'an will be appointed as the right minister of the Ministry of War in Yingtian, and he will be the governor of Zhejiang. "
Emperor Jiajing continued. What? ! Zhu Ping'an was promoted to the right minister of Yingtian Military Department and patrolled Zhejiang? !
Boom!
This news was like five thunderbolts, hitting everyone in the Yan Party on the forehead, making them unable to recover for a long time.
This time they shot themselves in the foot!
