Chapter 65 Continuous Offensive
Qi Jiguang killed Dong Hu at Xifengkou and captured Bu Hachu alive. Ma Fang, the general general of Datong, was at Huyukou. The pass was broken and the barbarians plundered. Return, Zhang Juzheng himself only planned to send the censor headed by Li Le, who was not from the Jin Party, to check on this matter. Being able to extend the power of supervision from the imperial court to Xuanfu Datong was a success in itself.
However, Zhang Siwei insisted on adding insult to injury and corrupting Li Le. He resorted to all means, including coercion and inducement, to force Li Le to the ground and force Li Le to kneel down as an official.
This violated Zhang Juzheng's taboo, and he must retaliate. Li Le played a trick of being born in Cao Ying but in Han, and fooled Zhang Siwei. This came to the stage of Zhang Juzheng's attack. .
"In the case of the Military Affairs Bureau's right hand to Zhang Chucheng, the Governor-General Shangshu Wang Chonggu said that the imperial edict should not be written in gold, so I asked him to destroy it." Zhang Juzheng talked about the first thing. The imperial edict of Wang Chonggu's daughter was in gold. This is Not in compliance with the rules.
The gold seal is only for the king, while the gold seal is for the princess. Wang Chonggu does not have any title, so using the gold seal is transgression.
Your surname is Wang. You are not a king, so you dare to issue a decree in gold letters? !
Wang Chonggu’s complexion changed drastically when he heard this. He looked at Yang Bo with a look of help, hoping that Yang Bo would come out and say something to put the impeachment to rest.
Wang Chonggu's daughter married Yang Bo's son Yang Junqing. Yang Junqing was the top military scholar in the fourth year of Longqing. He served in the Fusi Yamen of Jinyiweibei Town and was a sentencing official under Tishuai Zhu Xizhong.
When Yang Bo heard what Zhang Juzheng said, he was full of emotion. Finally, he bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed. My son Yang Junqing did what he did. When Duke Xinzheng was in power, my son transgressed. Please forgive me and deprive him of it." After gaining fame, he reduced his official status and returned to his hometown to live in leisure. ”
Yang Bo did not nag Zhang Juzheng, but confessed his crime directly to His Majesty who was studying on the platform. This was a real crime, and messing around would only put himself in an even more embarrassing situation.
Yang Bo chose to surrender.
Zhu Yijun put down his pencil, sat up straight, looked at Yang Bo and asked calmly: "When did Yang Dazai know that his son violated etiquette?"
"I will know it later, so please give me your Majesty's warning. ." At this point, Yang Bo chose to tell the truth. Such details are not important at all. His son violated the etiquette and law, and he should be implicated because he did not teach him well.
"Who is arrogant?" Zhu Yijun looked at Yang Bo and asked again.
Yang Bo bowed his head and said: "My son Yang Junqing, Wang Shaobao, former Yuanfu Gao Gong, and the eunuch Chen Hong, the eunuch Bingbi, committed this crime. This is a serious crime, and your majesty must punish him severely. "
"So, what do you think Mr. Yuan Fu should do?" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked.
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "Reporting to your Majesty, I believe that the golden decree of Mrs. Yang Junqing should be revoked, and it is appropriate for Yang Junqing and Wang Shaobao to be fined for one year."
"Yes." Zhu Yijun was stunned, Zhang Juzheng Is it so easy to talk?
Just withdraw the golden imperial edict and fine you one year's salary? Is this the end? !
This punishment is really too light.
Yang Bo stood up tremblingly, shook his sleeves, knelt on the ground, buried his head deeply, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed. I have failed to teach my son well. I am reborn as a friend. I beg your majesty to depose the old minister for destroying his relatives and seizing power."
"What does Yang Dazai mean by this? Are you not even willing to take back the golden imperial edict?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Yijun's tone changed and he became cold. asked.
“I don’t dare, I steal it to govern people, I am trusted by my Lord and the late emperor not to abandon it, I have only small achievements, I often boast that I will become more outstanding when I am in danger, I will be prosperous but not overflowing, I will go out to generals, ministers, ministers, etc. Jing Wuwei is a minister who relies on the world, and occasionally prides himself on being dedicated and dedicated. Today, it is just a joke, which only adds to the laughing stock. I invite you to serve, and I sincerely hope that your majesty will beg your body to return home." Yang Bo's voice was trembling. .
He told Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu at his house yesterday that sooner or later, his old face, Yang Bo, would be pulled down, thrown to the ground, and stepped on severely.
But now the ten-year-old master asked Yang Bo if he was taking retreat as an advance, forcing the court not to punish Yang Junqing and withdraw the imperial edict, which was a mouthful of phlegm spat on Yang Bo's face.
Yang Bo was highly regarded by Emperor Jiajing and relied on him for many border affairs. Yang Bo did not let down Emperor Jiajing's support and did a very good job. However, the Jin Party has deteriorated. How bad has it been in the past? What a shame now.
Zhang Juzheng saw this posture and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Taizai Yang is a minister of great virtue. When he is proclaiming Da, he will be proclaiming Da'an. An, in the Ministry of Personnel, the method of examination has been implemented. I sincerely ask your majesty to forgive Yang Bo for his merits. "
What Zhang Juzheng means is that in view of Yang Bo's achievements in the past, stop chasing after him and scolding him. Yes, His Majesty's words were as sharp as a knife, piercing Yang Bo's proudest place.
Moreover, the Ministry of Officials also needs Yang Bo to preside over the examination.
Zhu Yijun looked at Yang Bo and then at Zhang Juzheng, only to realize that Yang Bo was serious. He was not trying to retreat in order to advance, nor was he relying on his old age to force the emperor to make concessions. He just couldn't afford to lose that person and planned to run away.
Feng Bao, who was planning to speak, saw the situation clearly and chose to shut up. When His Majesty was speaking, Feng Bao was determined not to interrupt.
Zhu Yijun became much gentler and said with a smile: "Taizai Yang made a serious statement. He relies on many things for state affairs. I have a weak moral character and rely on ministers of civil and military affairs at home and abroad. How can Taizai Yang abandon me in vain?" Go?"
"This..." Yang Bo was speechless and remained silent for a long time before he said: "Your Majesty will not give up. I am so grateful."
Yang Bo didn't know how to continue. These words blocked his words. He was already disloyal. If he disobeyed the holy order and insisted on leaving, it would be even more disloyal and unfilial.
Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Yang Dazai is the same person."
It was not so disgusting if Yang Bo, the leader of the Jin Party, was replaced by Zhang Siwei, it was really disgusting. Since the Jin Party wants to have a party leader, it is better for Yang Bo to be in the Wenhua Hall. At least everyone will not be so worried.
The main target of Zhang Juzheng's firepower was Wang Chonggu. Wang Chonggu's daughter used imperial edicts in golden letters. When Gao Gong was still in power, not many people knew about it. Zhang Juzheng happened to be the one who knew about it. If he didn't talk about it before, it doesn't mean that Zhang Juzheng has forgotten it.
The person who impeached Wang Chonggu for his arrogance was Zhang Chucheng, who was a native of Jiangling, Jingzhou, the same hometown as Zhang Juzheng, and a die-hard Chu Party member.
"Your Majesty has an edict to deprive Mrs. Yang Junqing of her golden imperial edict, and to fine Yang Junqing and Wang Shaobao one year in salary. Do you have any objections?" Zhang Juzheng looked at Wang Chonggu and asked word by word.
Wang Chonggu did not have an attack after all.
This matter involves Yang Bo. Yang Bo has suppressed the matter with his efforts. A more severe punishment can easily hurt good people. This treatment is extremely difficult for Wang Chonggu. alright.
Zhang Juzheng signed the memorial and handed it over to Zhang Hong. Zhang Hong presented it to the emperor. Zhu Yijun thought for a while and sealed it with the treasure of Wanli, and then looked at Zhang Juzheng.
The impeachment of Wang Chonggu's golden decree and transgression is just the beginning.
Zhang Juzheng picked up the second memorial and said: "Chen Tang, the censor of Huguang Road in Nanjing, reported the impeachment. Ma Fang, the commander-in-chief of Datong Army, was afraid of patrolling the border and inspecting Dingjian and paid bribes. Lin Shaohuai, a doctor in the arsenal department, and Wu Zhe, a military counselor, paid a total of 76,432 taels of gold and silver in bribes, and both received the stolen goods."
Wang Chonggu was horrified to the extreme as soon as Zhang Juzheng spoke. The matter is extremely secretive. The Huyukou Pass is just a major construction project of the Great Wall. Since the peace negotiation, there have been many similar cases. Lin Shaohuai and Wu Zhe are the core backbone of the Jin Party. How was this case discovered? , why was there no news yesterday? !
When did it happen? When did someone get the stolen goods together?
Whether it is the Shuntian Mansion Yamen or the Criminal Department, they all have the eyes and ears of the Jin Party. How come the stolen goods were stolen without a word!
"Tishuai?" Zhang Juzheng looked at Zhu Xixiao, the commander of the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Guards, who was standing at the end.
"At five o'clock this morning, the palace door opened. Following His Majesty's edict, I led the troops to seize the two families, and seized both the people and the stolen goods. A total of more than 65,400 taels of silver were recovered. Everyone has entered the Fusi District of Beizhen, waiting for arraignment. ." Zhu Xixiao replied to the emperor on the stage.
Zhu Yijun knew about this. He wrote the edict and stamped the seal with his own hands. Lin Shaohuai and Wu Zhe were both the backbone of the Jin Party.
Yesterday You Qi took a bunch of evidence and gave it to Xu Jue. Xu Jue handed over all the evidence to Feng Bao. Feng Bao asked for orders as the eunuch in charge of the ceremony and the governor of the East Factory. Audit.
"Wang Shangshu, I have heard that if there is no official document from the Ministry of Punishment and no edict, it will be a white paper case. If there is no official document but only an edict, it will be a yellow paper case. If there is an edict and a driving post, it will be a formal case. , I wonder if the Ministry of Punishment can sign the real edict?" When Zhu Yijun opened his mouth, he did not talk about the corruption case first, but was going through the formalities.
He emphasized the word 'true' very seriously. The edict was written by him himself!
If the Ministry of Punishment dares to use this kind of card procedure, Zhu Yijun will definitely give Wang Zhigao a mark.
When Jin Yiwei takes someone, he must need a driving post, which is a post written by the emperor with specific reasons. This post does not have a copy of the criminal department, it is just an edict.
If the Jin Yiwei arrests people at will without the emperor's edict, it is called a blank slate case, which will not be recognized by the courtiers, and the Jin Yiwei will be impeached by the officials.
However, there is an edict, but there is no book deposit from the criminal department. The emperor personally supervises the handling of major cases. This is called a yellow paper case.
If there is an edict and a criminal record, it will be supervised by the emperor and approved by the Ministry of Punishment. This is called a formal case.
Zhu Yijun was asking Wang Zhigao, the Minister of Punishment, whether the Punishment Ministry recognized this case.
If the Ministry of Punishment does not approve it, then it is just a yellow paper case and some gossip.
Wang Zhigao, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, took a look and saw that the fight between the Party and the Jin Party was turning upside down. He, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, would be crushed to pieces by the two behemoths if he got involved randomly.
Zhu Yijun raised his hand, and Tishuai Zhu Xixiao handed the driving sticker and the file to Wang Zhigao.
Wang Zhigao read the case file carefully, then wrote a letter on the edict, turned the emperor's edict into a driving post, and rode the horse to arrest people. This was not only the emperor's order, but also the imperial censor Chen Tang presided over it. Once approved by the Ministry of Punishment, it is no longer a white paper case or a yellow paper case, but a solid case and an ironclad case.
Chen Tang, the censor of Huguang Road in Nanjing of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was responsible for the impeachment. He had already signed the edict and there were no problems with the procedure.
Wang Zhigao looked at Yang Bo with a helpless expression. Zhang Juzheng had been planning for a long time. He had already grasped your painful foot, but he was too lazy to attack.
This move is like thunder, unstoppable.
"Wang Shaobao was the governor of Xuanda before. Does Wang Shaobao know something about what's going on here?" Zhang Juzheng stretched his hand slightly forward, leaned on the back of the chair, and looked at Wang Chonggu with an unkind expression.
A left hook, a right hook, plus a kick! Wang Chonggu’s daughter used the golden letter to arrogantly violate the law. It is a true story in history that Ma Fang paid bribes to avoid being reviewed. [Le Datong's general military officer Zuo Dudu Ma Fang stayed idle. Fang was afraid that he could not help but bribe Lin Shaohuai, the commander of the arsenal. Longbing prepared to consult Wu Zhe, and Wu Baipeng, the minister of inspection, told him about it. Please ask questions. The Ministry of War has been on the border for a long time and has made great achievements. It will be evening tonight. The song bestows you with graceful appearance, and the superiors follow it. ], the person who impeached was Chen Tang, and Wu Baipeng was in Jizhou to inspect the Jizhou, Yongping, and Shanhaiguan Great Walls. Ouch! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
