Chapter 56: Face and dignity are all earned by oneself!
Qi Jiguang lost his reputation in the Quanchu Guild Hall, which led to a series of impeachments. As a result, His Majesty always has some tricks that are eye-catching and refreshing.
If you want to scold, or impeach, go to Jizhou and see for yourself, and then speak, instead of just talking in vain.
Let the impeachment officials, Qingliu people, Hanlin officials, and court officials personally go to Jizhou to endure hardships for three months. After in-depth understanding, they can then produce evidence to correct the impeachment and speak with facts.
The main reason is that the content of the official impeachment is really ridiculous, making even the ten-year-old emperor laugh.
The first charge of impeachment is that Qi Jiguang killed good people and took credit for their merits. This is a completely untenable conjecture. The Southern soldiers commanded by Qi Jiguang really killed good people and took credit for their merits, and they would have fallen long ago. I definitely can’t wait until now. How many people regard Qi Jiguang as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh?
Qi Jiguang pacified the Japanese, but he offended many people. The disappearance of the Japanese invaders meant that the situation had become stable. How could those Jin gentry annex land? How can those maritime merchants fish in troubled waters? Why do those officials use military disasters as an excuse to use money to build cities and coastal defenses and line their own pockets?
In the war against Japan, the Nan soldiers often killed more than a thousand heads with dozens of casualties, which is shocking. This kind of battle loss ratio is incomprehensible to some civil servants. Therefore, Yan Guan I felt that Qi Shuai was killing good people and taking credit.
Battle reports will lie, battle losses will lie, but the battle lines will not lie. Japanese pirates are rampant and the disaster has spread to three provinces. Now in the three southeastern provinces, are there any signs of Japanese pirates rampant?
The people's hearts don't lie. There are shrines to living people all over the three southeastern provinces. Will the people commemorate the generals who killed good people and took credit for their merits?
If you kill good people and take merit, the people who will be killed are the common people.
If it’s a long way to the south, what about the north?
Qi Jiguang led the army into battle with many contradictions. In the first year of Wanli, Qi Jiguang defeated Dong Fox. The Ming Dynasty relied on the geographical advantage of the Great Wall and suffered only a dozen casualties, while the northern captives suffered more than 2,000 casualties.
The Japanese pirates were rogues, and the northern pirates were powerful enemies. Doesn't such a strong record prove Qi Jiguang's bravery?
How many victories will Qi Jiguang need to prove his bravery?
The second charge of impeaching Qi Jiguang was embezzlement of huge sums of money. On this charge, Zhang Juzheng had the most say.
Every year at Bing Jing and Tan Jing, the silver coins Qi Jiguang sent to the Quanchu Guild Hall were all broken pieces of silver. Occasionally, he would use salt to make up the number. The pieces of silver were broken instead of neat silver ingots. Qi Jiguang was really He is greedy for money, and when he gives gifts to himself backstage, he gives these scraps of silver?
The Jin Party came in the name of building the Great Wall, building forts, and building passes, and everyone had their mouths full of food, and they subconsciously thought that Qi Jiguang was the same.
The third charge of impeachment is that he was attached to a powerful person and wanted to please him. This charge was a real crime because Qi Jiguang had worshiped under Zhang Juzheng before. Qi Jiguang was indeed attached to a powerful person and wanted to please him. .
The weird thing about this matter is that when Qi Jiguang was attached to the powerful, no one dared to impeach him. When Qi Jiguang stopped being attached to the powerful, these officials all jumped out.
How does the cabinet obtain part of its decision-making power?
Through the floating vote, the floating vote not only contains the cabinet's analysis of state affairs, but also how to deal with it. The emperor makes decisions after referring to the opinions of the cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
Many times, the cabinet's decision is the emperor's decision, which means that the cabinet has obtained part of the decision-making power. Although it is not as powerful as the prime minister in the early Ming Dynasty, it can already intimidate the emperor.
But this time, it was the little emperor who came up with his own solution.
It has nothing to do with Zhang Juzheng's floating tickets. After Qi Jiguang returned his waist card, Zhang Juzheng could only analyze Qi Jiguang's matter from the Ming Dynasty's standpoint and could not provide any solutions.
And His Majesty’s method is effective.
Zhang Juzheng put away the memorial and said: "After the ministers returned, they told the court officials that if they still insisted on impeaching Commander Qi, they would send him to the Jizhou camp to practice for three months and find evidence before impeaching him."< br>
In order to collect evidence of the crimes of the border general Zuo Dudu, he went to the territory of the border army to search for evidence. Fortunately, Qi Jiguang was not a military leader. He would not do anything to these censors, but these censors were ignorant no matter how ignorant they were. If his conscience continues to chatter, the emperor can go to Jizhou and ask Qi Jiguang to express his love.
It took half a year to go back and forth, and it would be over after a while. This is a typical example of taking advantage of the rigidity of the system.
It seems that the little emperor is also good at this kind of wrangling.
Isn't it just nonsense? Who wouldn't?
As for whether the Qing Rumors are willing to go, they probably won’t.
They left the capital and went out to work, but when they were appointed as officials and left the center of power, their positions were replaced by others. It would be difficult to come back again.
After Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, he looked at Ge Shouli and said in a very stern tone: "Ge Zongxian, I want to remind you that where the artifacts of Huangji Palace and Wenhua Palace are located, the Imperial Palace Censor is the eyes and ears. Sir, impeachment is a national matter. It is for the purpose of curbing Zhiwei's habits and anger, for the sake of upright men's eyes, for the loyal ministers to speak out, for the great interests of the country, and for the sake of enforcing unruly rules."
"Are the officials deliberately distorting the facts and wagging their tongues to make fun of national affairs and the great interests of the country? The Huangji Palace and the Wenhua Palace are solemn places, and impeachment is a just act, not an unwarranted accusation. It is not a tool for party struggle.”
“Ge Zongxian, I am here to tell you that you are the censor of Zuodu, and you are the general constitution of the capital procuratorate. You must abide by the Constitution and clarify your responsibilities. Loyalty to the emperor, loyalty to the country, and self-discipline, and speaking with factual evidence are the minimum requirements for every censor working in the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"
"You are the general constitution, and you have a clear censorship style. Do you have to wait until the sea is over? Do you want to do it again after Gangfeng returns to the court?"
Zhang Juzheng rarely lectures people in such a tone and in such harsh terms. Usually, when Zhang Juzheng is dissatisfied with someone, he will directly use some means to drive them out. It's really for Ge Shouli's benefit that he is scolding him like this now.
In the conflict between the Jin Party and the Zhang Party, if Ge Shouli continues to charge into the battle, the unlucky one will be Ge Shouli.
"Yes." Ge Shouli couldn't reply when he was scolded, he could only accept it. Kedao Yanguan's performance had been bad for more than a day or two, and Ge Shouli had no other choice but to be scolded. Ge Shouli could not control the officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology, and he, the General Secretary, was about to become the mouthpiece of the Jin Party. How could the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, among the six ministers, really respect Ge Shouli, who served as a powerful figure, and who would take his words seriously? People's hearts were shattered. How could Ge Shouli lead a good team?
Zhang Juzheng nodded at the table and said, "If Hai Rui were in court, would he bark so blindly and ignore the facts?"
"No!" Ge Shouli heard Zhang Juzheng talking about Hai Rui. , even more unable to say anything, he exhaled and finally agreed.
Admonishment means rushing to poke people’s lungs and scold them to wake them up.
Hai Rui is the lung tube of Ge Shouli, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty. The chief minister of the Ministry of Science and Technology ignored his words as the president at all. Instead, he followed the example of Hai Rui, who was living idle in Hainan, and treated him as the president. Xian has no respect at all.
The reason why Zhang Juzheng mentioned Hai Rui.
Actually, I want to tell Ge Shouli that face, dignity, and dignity are all earned by oneself. In this round of impeachment of Qi Jiguang, even if the emperor does not come up with a solution and Zhang Juzheng does not speak out for justice, there will still be ministers writing letters to express his condolences. Qi Jiguang argued that Qi Jiguang could still pass the test.
Because Qi Jiguang had just won the battle and annihilated Dong Hu's tribe, and the Huyukou Pass of the Great Wall of Datong had just been easily penetrated by the northern captives.
Qi Jiguang has face, dignity, dignity, and strength. Of course, he also has power and backing. In the past, it was Zhang Juzheng, and now the emperor is Qi Jiguang’s backing.
This is the end of Zhang Juzheng’s words. It’s hard to persuade the devil with good words. Zhang Juzhang’s bad words are all over. How Ge Shouli will go in the future depends entirely on Ge Shouli’s own destiny.
The second thing that the court discussed was to send the censors headed by Li Le to inspect the border censors to go to Huyukou and other places to inspect the Great Wall.
Li Le is a member of Zhang Juzheng, and he is accompanied by officials such as the Shanxi Road Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry. There are also eunuchs sent by the Superintendent of Ceremonies, and representatives of Xungui also go there. .
Eunuchs, officials from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, officials from the Ministry of Science and Technology, and eunuchs from the Department of Ceremony, all of them are serious. This is also the first time in the Ming Dynasty that non-Jin Party officials have been appointed to the Ministry of Science and Technology in the forty years since Jiajing. Yan Guan went to Datong Xuanfu to inspect the borders and inspect the Great Wall.
"Who has any opinions?" Zhang Juzheng held a memorial in his hand.
If no one objects, he will send the letter to His Majesty for sealing.
On paper, Tan Lun, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Wang Guoguang, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Yang Bo, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Ge Shouli, the General Secretary of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Wang Chonggu, the Governor of the Military Affairs Bureau of the Beijing Camp, are all members of the Jin Party.
The first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Juzheng, the Minister of Rites, Lu Shusheng, and the Minister of Punishments, Wang Zhigao, were members of the Zhang Party.
The Jin Party was fully opposed, and Zhang Juzheng's "Asking the Censor to Inspect and Propagate the Great Wall and the Ding Jian Shu" was definitely not going to pass the court.
However, Li Le was recommended by Ge Shouli in the matter of military affairs. The Minister of War, Tan Lun, had parted ways with the Jin Party because of his promotion of generals in the capital camp. They had different paths and did not work together. The Minister of Household Affairs, Wang Guoguang, had previously impeached In Tan Lun's case, he clearly became a traitor.
Lu Shusheng and Zhang Juzheng were in the same class. Zhang Juzheng also recommended Lu Shusheng, but Lu Shusheng had an affair with the Jin Party.
Wang Chonggu thought for a while and said: "The censor's inspection has stirred people's hearts. If Ananda Khan goes south and there is another military disaster, and the soldiers have no intention of fighting, what should we do?"
Zhang Juzheng looked at Wang Chonggu, He asked quite calmly: "Wang Shaobao, do you want to listen to what you are saying? Repeat it yourself?"
Raising the bandits' self-respect is an extremely common way of playing, but Wang Chonggu cannot say it directly. : You can’t just check everything, maybe you’ll find something.
Wang Chonggu was stopped by a word and looked at Yang Bo helplessly.
Yang Bo sat up straight, hesitated and said: "The capital examination will be completed as soon as possible. My body can't hold it anymore."
No matter what the censor found out this time Whatever happened, it had nothing to do with Yang Bo. Yang Bo's words were very clear. He planned to stay out of the matter. He didn't plan to interfere with the Jin Party's affairs, and he couldn't.
For Yang Bo, it was a great success to successfully complete the pilot test of the imperial examination method in the capital and not end up in ruins.
"Since no one objects, let's let it be." Zhang Juzheng signed the memorial and handed it to Zhang Hong, who took it and placed it on the imperial case.
Zhu Yijun picked up the treasure of Wanli, covered it on the memorial, and returned the memorial to Zhang Hong, indicating that he could start the next chapter of the official department.
Zhu Yijun is not optimistic about this border inspection. Zhang Juzheng's blow to the black tiger hit the heart and hit the vital point. But if the Jin Party is defeated so easily, it is not deeply rooted. Joined the party.
"Your Majesty, please leave." After the meeting, the ministers bowed respectfully and left the Wenhua Hall.
A number of officials who were waiting for the emperor to study, including Zhan Shuguan, Attendant Reader, Attendant Lecturer, and Praise Officer, entered the hall in turn.
Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng's serious expression and asked, "Mr. Yuan Fu, do you think there will be much gain from this inspection of the border and inspection of Dingjian?"
