Just informed?
hehe
In the following time, although Zhu Pingan was sitting on the chair at the bottom, he was interrogated several times by several adults from the Ministry of Punishment who were sitting in high seats like a prisoner. The main interrogators were Wang and Liu from the Ministry of Punishments. Zhai Juntao, the official of the Shaanxi Qing Dynasty, also occasionally asked a few questions. As for He Ao, the Minister of Punishments who was in charge, he had left long ago. Just now, a minor official came to Tongbing Palace. He Ao. The minister left, and the seats were not warmed yet.
The memorial may be a big deal for Zhu Ping'an, but it is just a trivial matter for He Shangshu. It is enough to give orders to his subordinates with his mouth. It is not necessary or worthy for him, the highest official of the Ministry of Punishment, to take action personally.
In addition, during the interrogation, the doctor Zhai Juntao used his eyes to hint to the clerk in the corner to record the entire process as if nothing had happened.
This scene was seen by Zhu Pingan. He thought that whatever he said today would be recorded and would definitely be used as evidence when the petition would be heard in the future.
In such a situation, Zhu Pingan would not believe that he just understood the situation.
In the face of repeated inquiries, Zhu Pingan did not reveal a trump card, nor did he make any substantive judgments. No matter what the inquiry was, he just responded in a bookish manner, such as the following:
The name of our country is Ming Dynasty, with the sun on the left and the moon on the right. No matter day or night, the light can shine in all directions. The emperor's grace is mighty and eternal prosperity will last forever. Although the lower official is not talented, he still has the heart to serve the country. Thousands of households in Zhao Daying killed good people and took credit. Instead of killing the enemy and serving the country, they used people's heads to deceive the court and ask for rewards. The sky is angry and people are resentful. The sky is dark and the earth is dark. The people who have been wronged have not seen the light of day. Such a tiger and wolf behavior insults the name of our Ming Dynasty. How can I be lowered? Being able to sit back and do nothing.
In the eyes of everyone, Zhu Pingan is just a scholar who is somewhat righteous and unsophisticated.
Also, in their opinion, if Zhu Pingan was not like this, how could he receive such a memorial.
This kind of person is the easiest to deal with, like a defenseless little girl who can be knocked down by a push and who will cooperate even when being ravaged.
During the interrogation, the two adults, Wang and Liu, became more and more relaxed. In their eyes, Zhu Ping'an, the youngest number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty, was like a broken ship riding the wind and waves, about to hit the iceberg ahead.
The interrogation lasted for more than half an hour and ended. The two adults, Wang and Liu, felt that the interrogation of the Book of Changes was enough. People like Zhu Pingan, who had nothing to say but no solid evidence and a passionate person, would review the petition. Not just at their mercy.
Thinking about it, the result of the future review of the petition will definitely satisfy Mr. Yan.
After the interrogation was over, Zhu Ping'an stood up and watched several adults leave, then he said goodbye and left. He just went back and waited for the Ministry of Punishments to notify him of the time for the hearing.
Hey, isn't this Master Xiao Zhu?
When he was about to go out, Zhu Ping'an heard a high-pitched but not feminine voice coming from behind, and the voice was slightly hoarse.
Hearing this, Zhu Pingan stopped and turned around, and saw a handsome little eunuch dressed in gorgeous internal eunuch clothes. He was being escorted off by several officials from the Ministry of Punishments and walked over. When he saw Zhu Pingan turned around, the little eunuch looked in front of him. A smile appeared on his face.
This young eunuch was an acquaintance of Zhu Pingan, Feng Bao in the palace, and Zhang Juzheng's most reliable political ally in the future. However, now Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng probably don't have much intersection, but they have a lot of intersection with Zhu Ping'an.
As for whether history will move forward according to the inertia of the wheel in the future, or whether it will change like the flapping of butterfly wings, no one knows. Only time will know the answer.
Eunuch Feng has a good eye. Zhu Pingan came over with a smile and bowed his hands to Feng Bao.
It's really Mr. Xiao Zhu. What a coincidence that we met here. Feng Bao walked over with a smile and bowed his hands to Zhu Pingan.
It seems that the little official who just reported the visitor to the palace refers to Feng Bao. Feng Bao is just a little eunuch in the palace who works for Huang Jin. He Ao, the top official of the Ministry of Punishment, can go to greet him in person. He said that he has almost waited. It took a long time to see He Shangshu. It seems that eunuchs are becoming more and more powerful now.
This also has a lot to do with Yan Song's flattery and connivance to the eunuchs.
In the past, when Zhang Cong, the chief minister of the cabinet, met Emperor Jiajing, all the eunuchs outside would bow to Zhang Cong and say hello; when Xia Yan became the chief minister, although Xia Yan was not as arrogant to the eunuchs as Zhang Cong, he still treated them as slaves. When Xia Yan met Emperor Jiajing, he spoke politely to the eunuchs outside. When Yan Song became the chief assistant, when he met Emperor Jiajing, Yan Song would hold the hands of the eunuchs outside, talk enthusiastically, and stuff them with red envelopes. You can only go in to see the saint with a small gift or something.
If this trend continues, the appearance of the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, who can cover the sky with one hand, will not be any surprise.
It's noon. If my father-in-law doesn't mind, why don't you let Ping'an take care of it, have some simple food and drink. Zhu Pingan invited politely.
Among the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, Feng Bao was considered a clean figure, and Zhu Pingan was at least not as disgusted with him as he was with other eunuchs.
and
The Ming Dynasty's current internal and external court system is such that serving as an official in the dynasty is inseparable from these eunuchs in the internal court. Zhu Pingan is not so noble that he has no contact with all the eunuchs.
Mr. Xiao Zhu is too polite. The Za family still has to go back to restore Huang Gong's life. Feng Bao's face moved, but he still shook his head, as if something was on his mind.
Huang Gong refers to Huang Jin, right? Huang Jin is now a powerful figure that cannot be ignored in the Ming Dynasty. The famous man next to Emperor Jiajing is in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the Admiral of the East Factory. I won’t go into detail about Dongchang, as everyone knows that the Supervisor of Ceremonies is also an institution that cannot be ignored in the Ming Dynasty.
The imperial staff is a sharp sword worn on the heads of officials of the Ming Dynasty, and this sword was supervised by the eunuchs and eunuchs, and the Jinyiwei were responsible for executions. According to historical records, when the Jinyiwei executed an execution, the severity was determined by the standing posture of the eunuch and eunuch. If the toes of the eunuch’s boots faced outwards in a figure-eight shape, the Jinyiwei would strike lightly; if the toes of the eunuch’s boots were aligned inward, Jin Yiwei was very aggressive and decided life and death.
In addition to the imperial staff, the Si Li Jian was also in charge of the memorials received from the six departments, and indirectly gained the power to supervise the administration of the six departments and the trials of the criminal department.
In addition, serious cases in the Ming Dynasty were reviewed by the three legal departments and submitted to the emperor for approval. However, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was too lazy to deal with government affairs, so he often handed over the final decision-making power to the eunuchs and eunuchs. In this way, it would be difficult for the Supervisor of Ceremonies to be ignored.
It turns out that the father-in-law was busy with important matters, and it was Ping An's sudden incident. Official matters were important.
Zhu Pingan took Feng Bao's expression into his eyes. It seemed that Feng Bao had encountered some difficulty recently. However, Zhu Pingan did not take the initiative to ask. He just smiled and said some pleasantries.
This is psychology.
If you take the initiative and ask quickly, even if you help solve the problem, the price will drop, and it will easily cause the other party to overthink.
When the other party says it, it means that you are seeking something from yourself, and the value difference will be great.
