Chapter 849 Using public opinion to conquer the name of punishment
Zhu Yijun didn't want to use Hai Rui's famous behind him as bait, even if it was Wang Chonggu's plan, it was really good.
As he told Hai Rui, he was the superior. If he relied entirely on these conspiracies and tricks, in the end, there would be few supporters who would be loyal to him, the emperor?
Everyone hopes that the person sitting on the throne is a moral model, so that everyone will not worry when they follow you, and the emperor borrows the head to custody the public.
Death is the greatest thing. Hai Rui became ill for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and passed away for the long time. The Ming Dynasty should respect Hai Zongxian's contribution to the country.
Even though Zhu Yijun hated these rebels to the core, he still did not break through his lower limit.
Their goal is to revive the Wanli Restoration. The Wanli Restoration is the entire plan for the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty, involving all aspects of the Ming Dynasty. The easiest thing to overturn here is Hai Rui's achievements.
As long as we start to overturn the verdict, overturn some of the iron cases made by Hai Rui, and counterattack against Wanli Reform, it will be officially begun.
Reversing the case is the easiest, most direct and fastest way to gather the opposition in the new policy, because Hai Rui has offended too many people to fight corruption.
As long as there is a person of weight who stands up and is the person carrying the flag, he will immediately gather around the person carrying the flag and attack Hai Rui. Hai Rui is alive, but he is still alive. If Hai Rui leaves, then he can fight.
Zhang Juzheng is undoubtedly very suitable, and it is well known to everyone that Zhang Juzheng does not like Hai Rui.
But Zhang Juzheng had already made it clear in front of the emperor that he would not be that person, and he highly recognized the anti-corruption and corruption campaign.
It was the past, and Zhang Juzheng was also a corrupt official. He needed to use his interests to tie some people together as a political collective to carry out the Wanli Reform; now, the Wanli Reform is in a booming trend and there is no need to do this anymore.
The Tiqi began a large-scale search. Anyone related to Zhang Liming and "Hai Rui Three Great Wons" were arrested. After reviewing, the review finally found that there was still no good harvest. Paper, ink, and craftsmen were all interrogated, but they still found nothing.
Zhang Liming was an abandoned son, and that miscellaneous newspaper was also an abandoned son. There were not even many craftsmen. All the miscellaneous newspapers and monster books were printed in advance and sent to the capital in batches. They were placed at Zhang Liming's home. There was no trace of the miscellaneous newspapers printed there.
The miscellaneous newspaper where Zhang Liming works is just an empty shell. When the monster book was published, the people in the miscellaneous newspaper did not even know that they had published "Hairui's Three Great Wonders".
The people who distributed the demon books were illiterate newspaper boys. They had no idea what was written in the demon books, and they sold them cheaply and gave them away.
Tiqi's investigation into the case has entered a bottleneck period. Zhang Liming has been killed by futures since he started to suck opium. When Hai Rui passed away, he would be arranged to die. He happened to be beaten to death by Li Chengliang. He was already very valuable.
Just when the case was at a loss, Wang Xiyuan, the head of Shuntian Prefecture, suddenly received a case that made him feel numb. Hai Zhongshi came to Shuntian Prefecture's yamen and sued Hai Zhongpeng for stealing his family property!
When this case appeared, Wang Xiyuan sent another prepared memorial to the Tongzhengsi. Wang Xiyuan wanted to be an official, even if he was to be a temporary official and to be an ordinary prefect, he would not be willing to be a prefect in the capital.
Is this something that Wang Xiyuan can manage? ! It is really difficult to be the Chief of the Capital.
When this case appeared, the Tiqi Yamen immediately reacted, and it was the rebel who jumped out by himself!
After receiving the emperor's imperial edict, Zhao Mengyou immediately went to Wang Chonggu's home to ask, Haizhongshi went to Shuntian Prefecture's yamen to beat the wronged drums, whether it was Wang Cifu's instructions. When he received a denial answer, the foggy question became clear.
Wang Chonggu came up with the idea in front of the emperor. After the emperor rejected it, Wang Chonggu would not do more, otherwise he would have made many mistakes. Therefore, he did want to do this by himself when he went to the Shuntian Prefecture Office to beat the wronged drums.
If no one was motivating him behind him, he would never dare to do this. You should know that Hai Zhongpeng, an eleven-year-old scholar, sent an imperial edict to the capital from Hainan.
Hai Zhongshi dared to beat the drums, obviously someone kept chewing in his ears, and the person who clamored him gave him some exact promises, and Shanghai Zhongshi was stupid enough to make the case happen.
Hai Zhongshi was originally an adopted son. He relied on Hai Rui's reputation and the emperor's kindness and reward, and could have lived his life without worries about food and clothing and was respected by others. However, when Hai Rui was seriously ill, he did not serve him in front of the sickbed and was seen by the eunuch who announced the eunuch. Even if he was acting like a gesture, Hai Zhongshi refused to even act like a gesture, and he liked to say to others: It is useless to be honest, it is better to exchange money.
This is a sign of stupidity in itself. It was sold and was still counting money for others.
"So what's the backhand?" Zhu Yijun wrote a line of words: Hai Rui died of illness, "Hai Rui's Three Great Deeds", Li Chengliang's murder, and Hai Zhongshi sued Hai Zhongpeng for embezzlement of family property. Behind these series of incidents, they are all for overturning the case and destroying the Wanli New Policy.
As the sea beats the drum, Zhu Yijun must think of the thieves' back-up to prevent things from exceeding his control.
"Would Wang Yie?" Zhu Yijun stopped the pen and frowned and said, "What do you say about Feng Bao?"
Feng Bao whispered: "Your Majesty, Governor Wang is in Shandong. Although he is not dedicated to his work, he is also loyal to his duties. The foundation left by Yinmen Hall. Governor Wang is not abandoned. Kelp, coal and iron, sea transport, and engineering corps battalions are thriving. Recently, the development of Jiaozhou Bay and Mizhou Maritime Conduct Department is in full swing, even stronger than Yuegang."
"I think Governor Wang is not that person."
"Your Majesty knows that I have never spoken good things for scholars, but Governor Wang has done a really good job."
Feng Bao is a man who can speak bad things about scholars. He never speaks good things about scholars. If he says something good, it is a forced force.
This Wang Yie led the Mizhou Maritime Warehouse to the third among the five major Maritime Warehouse Warehouses, second only to Songjiang Prefecture and Guangzhou Prefecture, which is an impressive and dazzling achievement.
The vigorous development of the Mizhou Maritime Conservatory and Jiaozhou Bay is by no means accidental.
In fact, Jiaozhou Bay has poor natural endowment, lacking fresh water, lack of rivers, barren land, difficult to cultivate, and very broken terrain, which is not suitable for building a city. Because of Laoshan, Jiaozhou Bay is very suitable for shelter from the wind, and Jiaozhou Bay is more suitable for being a military port rather than a commercial port.
However, the Mizhou Maritime Warehouse Department still became the third largest Maritime Warehouse Department under the painstaking management of Ling Yunyi, Wang Yie and others, suppressing Ningbo and Yuegang.
All this is naturally related to the changes in the wind direction in the North. The Ming Dynasty was working hard to open the sea, making the port attributes of Jiaozhou Bay, especially the advantage of the only unfreezing port in the north, dazzling. The Ming Dynasty built the Jingmi Chi Road and successfully opened it to traffic, which reduced the transportation cost of grain a lot. Indeed, this is the general trend.
But Wang Yie built the canal, the road, and several official factories to produce cement and steel, which are also the reasons why Jiaozhou Bay prospered.
"Wang Yie is Xu Jie's favorite disciple. Xu Jie died in the capital. Of course, Wang Yie has reason to avenge him, even if it's a try? What is Wang Yie doing now?" Zhu Yijun asked with a frown.
"Growing kelp, drying salt, building shipyards, and repairing mushroom plants to extract iodine and fresh salt, bringing engineering battalions, and building official roads and roads everywhere." Feng Bao placed the memorandum in front of His Majesty. What were the governors in various places doing? Feng Bao recorded it in the memorandum.
Feng Bao still shook his head and said, "Everyone in the world knows that Xu Jie is greedy. Governor Wang wants to avenge a corrupt official. I still feel it is a bit unreasonable. Xu Jie is worthy of it?"
If Xu Jie was wronged like Hu Zongxian, all this would be understandable. Wang Yie ran for Xu Jie, then it would be reasonable. At least he could convince himself and his relatives and friends. What is Xu Jie like? After so many years of twists and turns, he has already found it clear. How did Wang Yie convince himself and his relatives and friends?
"You are right, but who is doing this?" Zhu Yijun walked to the official script screen. This was a gift from Zhang Juzheng, which was a visual office. It was Zhang Juzheng who thought the emperor was young and could not remember so many things, so he made such a script screen to assist His Majesty. Until now, almost everyone in the Ming Dynasty officials had one.
There are small signs hanging on it, with the names, positions, accomplices, attendants, etc.
Zhu Yijun believed that there must be a very important person here who was promoting this matter because everything came too quickly and had made sufficient preparations in advance. Zhu Yijun must pull this person out, otherwise he would be unable to sleep or eat.
"Your Majesty, among Xu Jie's disciples, in addition to Governor Wang, there is actually another person who is still in charge of the court." Feng Bao took off a sign, which was Yang Wei, the Minister of Dali Temple.
Both Yang Wei and Zhang Juzheng were both Jinshi in the 26th year of Jiajing. Later, like Zhang Juzheng, they studied in the Hanlin Academy. However, their fate came here and went to a fork in the road. Yang Wei became a knife in Xu Jie's hand, impeached Yan Song and Yan Shifan and demoted him to the capital. The officialdom has been ups and downs for decades.
In the second year of Wanli, Yang Wei retired and returned home on the grounds of his mother's retirement and sent him to the death. After Xu Jie's death, Yang Wei was recalled to the capital to be the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and was the second-in-command of Dali Temple Lu Guangzu.
Zhu Yijun recalled Yang Wei to soothe people's hearts. Xu Jie died and Xu Jie's disciples were recalled, which means the emperor did not intend to continue to expand the scope of the attack. Wang Yie was valued, and there were also considerations in this regard to prevent panic and lead to political corruption.
In the 16th year of Wanli, Hai Rui retired, Lu Guangzu was promoted to the General Secretary of the Censorate, and Yang Wei became a minister of the Dali Temple from Shaoqing and a court minister.
Yang Wei is now very important and has a teacher-student friendship with Xu Jie. Moreover, Yang Wei is also dissatisfied with the Wanli New Policy. Yang Wei strongly opposed the examination and the examination. In the second year of Wanli, he returned to his hometown to retire and see him to see him off. The real reason was that he opposed the examination and was hated by Zhang Juzheng.
Yang Wei left by himself after the examination was effective.
"Is there some evidence?" Zhu Yijun was playing with the waist card in his hand and asked Feng Bao. Feng Bao was in charge of the East Factory. He would not talk lies with such a big deal, nor would he talk nonsense in front of the emperor. After all, the matter involved the officials of the court, so he must be cautious.
"Your Majesty's wiseness, there are indeed some clues pointing to Yang Wei, but the matter is still being investigated, and I dare not assert." Feng Bao took the Dongchang manga and found some things that seemed ambiguous, but these ambiguous things happened to a senior official, which itself is very telling.
"Why?" Zhu Yijun frowned. Like Zhang Liming, was he going to avenge Xu Jie?
Feng Bao whispered: "Your Majesty, he wants to be promoted. As Xu Jie's disciple, his promotion has been unsuccessful. He is already seventy-two years old. If he doesn't fight, the Dali Temple Minister will end. He can accept this result, but his disciples and old officials may not accept it."
"Yang Wei opposes the law of examination and the law of long-term office. According to the previous rules, Mr. Wang has been in power for sixteen years and has been the chief minister for too long. He has been so long that he can't promote others. He has been so fast that he can't promote others. He has been so fast that he can't promote others."
Zhu Yijun frowned and said, "Yan Song has been the chief minister for twenty years, and Yang Tinghe has been the chief minister for seventeen years. What were the rules before? What were the rules before?"
The biggest rule for how long the cabinet ministers will be is that it depends entirely on the emperor's wishes. The cabinet ministers were indeed recommended by the court, but the emperor had the power to veto him. Gao Gong was entrusted by the late emperor to die, but in the end he was dismissed by an imperial edict.
This is an important part of the imperial power. The power of personnel appointment and removal of Beijing officials, and Yang Wei's position on opposing the new policy has become very obvious. Zhu Yijun flipped Yang Wei's sign and hung it back on the official script screen and said, "The case investigation will be based on the clue of Hai Zhongyuan, and Yang Wei will take a look."
Since Feng Bao dared to say it in front of the emperor, there is naturally evidence.
Yang Wei and Wu Shilai, who farmed in Liaodong, had a close relationship with each other and had many letters. Wu Shilai was going to become the general constitution of the Censorate, but he was found to have corruption because of his re-examination and was not promoted. He held a grudge and impeached the ministers. He was released from Liaodong for three charges: possessing power to destroy the law, mutual support, and deceiving the king and misleading the country.
In addition to Wu Shilai's group, there are Qiu Shi, Zhao Shiqing, Jiang Dong and others.
In addition, Li Dan, a businessman from Quanzhou Prefecture, also visited Yang Wei twice through his relatives and friends. This Li Dan was the southern Fujian businessman who deliberately approached Hai Zhongshi. He used to make a living by smuggling white goods, saying that he wanted to do business with Hai Zhongshi, but it was just to make Hai Zhongshi rely on Hai Rui's fame to get along with him.
Yang Wei was a disciple of Xu Jie, who opposed the Jiao Chengfa and Jiu Renfa, had written letters with Wu Shi, and met Li Dan, a merchant in Quanzhou twice. These directions were already very obvious. The Dongchang man also found that Yang Wei might be smoking opiates because some opiates were smoking, which appeared in the garbage in Yang Wei's house, but there were no opiates left on these garbage.
Feng Bao did not dare to assert that there was no decisive evidence. Dongchang's investigation of the case is even more taboo than Tiqi. As long as you suspect it, it will be investigated and dealt with. The garbage dump will be opened for you to see.
Hai Zhongshi was a little scared because after reporting the case, all the processes were being implemented normally.
His case was quickly replied. The official of Chengfa House confirmed that he had received the confession. The clerk of the criminal room recorded the confession and asked about the basic situation of Hai Zhongshi. He was registered. The official found him and determined who he had sued for. The third yamen runners began to investigate and collect evidence to determine the authenticity of what Hai Zhongshi said. A witness was also detained in the Shuntian Prefecture Office for investigation and inquiries.
Everything is proceeding according to the process. Shuntian Prefecture Office notified Hai Zhongshi to hear the case seven days later and be sure to attend, otherwise he would declare his loss if he did not attend and he would not be allowed to file another lawsuit in the future.
The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!
"What should I do? This is completely different from what you said. Li Dan, tell me that the court will definitely not interrogate my property, and will refuse to accept it on the grounds that I made unreasonable trouble. At that time, various newspapers will disclose this matter, which sets up public opinion. After I went to the mourning hall to cry and fulfill my filial piety as a filial son. The court has already taken the case to trial, this..." Hai Zhongshi was already very panicked at this moment.
Hai Zhongshi, Li Dan and others did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor would allow the Shuntian Prefecture Office to handle the case, rather than as he thought that he would not file a case or simply detain him. He was originally prepared for the public opinion of the wind, and was a filial son who wanted to fulfill his filial piety but the court did not allow him.
A victim can get more sympathy from public opinion, which will facilitate the use of public opinion to conquer the reputation of punishment and public opinion.
These are all tricks that the cheap scholars used to play. Hai Zhongshi thought it was very feasible, so he cooperated with Li Dan and went to the Shuntian Prefecture Office to sue. As a result, the court now does not play according to common sense and filed a case for witnesses to be interrogated and is preparing to go through court!
Li Dan said confidently: "No, no, no, what's the matter? It's true that the court does not allow you to go to Qingqin Garden to attend the funeral; it's true that the court does not allow you to inherit your father's legacy; it's true that the court will file a case if the court filed a case, and can you still change your father's legacy to you? I'll pass the court after the ceremony, it's just a few days later."
"You are still stopped by the court and will not allow you to attend the mourning and mourning son."
Sometimes Li Dan looked down on Shanghai Zhongshi very much, and if there was nothing big, he would panic.
This Hai Zhongshi was completely lucky, so he was selected as an adopted son. His social status was several higher than that of a businessman. He wanted the preciousness of the sea, and he also wanted the money. How can he take the good things in the world be taken away by himself?
But this sea Zhongshi is lack of greed and insists on both, which gives Li Dan the opportunity to get close.
"You are in Beijing for the past few days. The transaction we ran is about to arrive. I will go to Yuegang to pick up the goods today. You can stay in the capital, don't worry." Li Dan said with a smile: "I have everything, I have arranged it."
Before the ceremony, Li Dan must leave. After the ceremony, the duel between wind and public opinion and imperial power will cause storms. A small person like him cannot hold on to such bumps at all, so leaving before the wind blows is the best choice.
"Do you want to leave me alone in Beijing?" Hai Zhongshi shivered and said, "No, goods don't matter. Brother Taiwan is not around, I am really frightened."
Li Dan smiled and said, "You are the son of Mr. Hai, and I am not. No matter how big the storm is, His Majesty will not do anything to you for the sake of Mr. Hai, but I am different. I am a businessman, and I can't even be at ease."
"In this way, I will leave you a thousand taels of silver. You can use these silver to bribe the prisoners and save you from the jail. Haven't I told you many times? There will be no problem."
The reason why Hai Zhongshi dared to be so bold is that he is Hai Rui's son. The emperor would not really do anything to him for Hai Rui's sake. He was fearless, but Li Dan was completely different. Once the emperor found out that he was provoking him, he might kill him to vent his anger, so going out to hide and avoid disaster was the best strategy.
Li Dan’s reasons seem to be extremely sufficient and very reasonable.
But in fact, Li Dan himself knew that he would not return to the capital this time, nor would he even go back to the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. Today is the last time he met with Li Dan and Hai Zhongshi.
Li Dan will change his appearance, change his identity, and continue to be his sea boat merchant in the Governor's Office until the storm is completely calmed down. As for whether the emperor will really forgive Hai Zhongshi because of Hai Rui, that is not something Li Dan has to care about.
From beginning to end, Li Dan knew very well what he wanted to do, which was to ignite the fire, which was what the big man behind him asked him to do.
Li Dan didn't know what would happen later, but today the matter was done, and the benefits promised by the big man had also been given to him. He had obtained a new identity and could go south to Han Township.
"What Brother Tai said makes sense. Brother Tai is so tall and the water is long, so be careful." Hai Zhongshi was still convinced by Li Dan and bid farewell to Li Danyiyi.
Li Dan looked out the car window and the vehicle was slowly leaving Chaoyangmen Station. Even if he left the capital, he would take a boat south at Tanggu Port, Tianjin, pick up his family at Songjiang Prefecture, to Ryukyu, to Jilong Danshui Town, Xinglongzhuang, to Miyan Port in Luzon, and finally to Manilahan Township in Luzon, becoming a maritime businessman in the past in the mainland.
He put down the curtain of the car and hummed a small song. He was in a good mood. Even if the big man's plan failed and he got his identity, he could still fly away. He was restricted from leaving the Ming Dynasty because of smuggling white goods. The change of appearance was not something that could be done with money. Once the big man's plan was successful, he could be able to rise with the wind in one day and soar up to 90,000 miles.
The Sun family in Songjiang is rich enough to rival a country. Everyone envies the Sun family that became a pig in the wind. The Sun family who was blown to heaven was unprecedentedly brilliant. Not only did they make a lot of money, they also had a pioneering Lord from the Yuanxu Islands.
If the big shots come true, he will also become the pig in the wind.
"Stop." The sound of horse hooves stopped Li Dan's vehicle. Li Dan lifted the curtain and put a steel knife with a cold light on his neck.
"Li Dan, you have been arrested. I am Chen Mo, the commander of the Beizhen Fushi." Chen Mo's hand was very stable and he did not hurt Li Dan. The Beizhen Fushi kept staring at Li Dan. Seeing that he was interested in leaving, he chose to close the net.
If you offend the abbot, you still want to run away?
Li Dan's face turned pale. He knew that it was all over. The Ti cavalry knew about him early in the morning and had been taking this matter carefully from the beginning.
On that day, Zhu Yijun flipped the case file in his hand. This was the case he personally inquired about. Tiqi and Dongchang Fanzi would summarize the found situation into his hands.
"The main contradiction between Wang Cifu and Wang Qian is that Wang Qian feels that after Wang Cifu retreats, their Wang family will definitely be counterattacked, and Wang Cifu feels that with my protection, they can keep their family safe." Zhu Yijun sighed and said, "Wang Cifu still overestimates the lower limit of these people."
Hai Rui has no son, and his two adopted sons are so upset that they are against the court. This is a great irony for Hai Rui, who has been honest all his life. These lowly scholars are simply omnipresent and use all their best.
"Closing the Internet cafe." Zhu Yijun made a decision, led by Yang Wei, a total of 17 officials of all sizes, three miscellaneous newspapers, and twenty-three writers. Their names appeared before the emperor's imperial case, involving more than 172 criminals.
"In fact, if they don't provoke Hai Zhongshi to Shuntian Prefecture's office to complain, I will not be able to catch their tails. Only "Hai Rui Three Great Rebellions" can test the court's strength. The Tiqi Office is not just a hand covering the sky, and can find out everything clearly."
Zhu Yijun and Zhu criticized the memorial and said with a frown: "Since the test has failed, the sir does not intend to counterattack Hai Rui. It is impossible to do anything. Why did Yang Wei continue to incite Hai Zhongshi to sue?"
"I'm not willing." Feng Bao said very accurately: "Your Majesty, Yang Wei is unwilling to accept it. He and Mr. He are the same as the chief minister for 16 years. Yang Wei has just taken office as the Minister of Dali Temple. He will retire at most this year. How could he be willing?"
If you are unwilling to accept it, you can't let it go. If you are unwilling to accept it, it's like a ghost living in your heart, constantly gnawing on your heart. As long as you open your eyes, you will not be willing to accept it. In the end, this ghost completely blinds the mind and replaces it. This is the process of power alienation.
"You're right." Zhu Yijun handed the memorial in his hand to Feng Bao and said, "Catch someone."
The Tiqi and the Dongchang mansion were dispatched together, and the small situation aroused the attention of everyone in the capital, but whether there were many people who could clearly explain the whole story. There were many different opinions. At dusk, a criminal was arrested at the Tiqi Yamen, and the subsequent investigation began.
Especially when those in Liaodong were reclaiming land, Wu Shilai and others were still dishonest.
Hai Zhongshi waited for the day of the opening ceremony in a state of uneasiness. Without surprise, Hai Zhongshi lost the case because Hai Rui left a will, clearly stating that Hai Zhongpeng would inherit the legacy. Hai Rui had few inheritances, only a royal gift of Qingqin Garden, a fifth-rank official with a kindness, and three places in the Imperial College.
Hai Zhongshi was actually driven out of the house long ago, but Hai Zhongshi had never served her sickbed, so I didn't know. If Hai Zhongshi had not been to the Shuntian Prefecture Office to sue, Hai Zhongshi could have been traveling all over the world with the name of Hai Rui's son, but now that he has passed by the court, everyone in the world will know that he is no longer Hai Rui's son.
The case only took half an hour. After Wang Xiyuan, the head of Shuntian Prefecture, summoned all witnesses, the verdict was directly announced.
After Hai Zhongshi walked out of the Shuntian Prefecture, he gritted his teeth in hatred and kept waiting for the miscellaneous newspapers to come to him, waiting for the miscellaneous newspapers to uphold justice for him. This was what Li Dan agreed with him. After losing the case, it caused a stir and public opinion. As a victim, he had to get some benefits no matter what.
But Hai Zhongshi waited around and there was no miscellaneous report to the door. He ran to look for these pens and found that everyone was avoiding them. Hai Zhongshi couldn't contact Li Dan. He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
After a month, Hai Zhongshi met Li Dan again, on the execution ground.
