After Wang Yong finished reciting, he ordered: "Take Xu Fan and the offending slaves away in the shackles!"
After Wang Yongji gave his instructions, the accompanying flag school soldiers took Xu Fan, who was tied up by Wuhua Da, and Xu De, the slave who took the blame, down.
Then, Wang Yongji turned around and asked Xu Jie, "I wonder where the weavers are?"
Xu Jie called out: "Xu Kun!"
Xu Jie's second son, Xu Kun, stood up and said, "Father!"
Then, Xu Jie turned around and ordered Xu Kun: "Bring out the weavers who bought it by mistake, and also bring out the deeds to the mulberry fields that the Xu family plans to donate."
Xu Kun hesitated.
"Um?"
Xu Jie glared at Xu Kun.
"yes!"
Only then did Xu Kun respond, and soon he appeared in front of Wang Yongji and Xu Jie with a group of weavers with lowered brows and bowed heads, and handed over a land deed, the weavers' deeds of betrayal, and memorials. Come to Xu Jie.
At this time, Xu Jie pointed at the weavers in front of Wang Yongji and said with a smile: "These are the weavers that the Xu family bought from the Weaving Bureau by mistake. Please ask the superior to check."
"offend!"
Wang Yongji bowed his hands first and asked his attendants to take the deeds of sale of these people and compare them with the archives of the Weaving Bureau.
At the same time, Xu Jie handed over a land deed: "This is the 10,000 acres of mulberry fields donated by the Xu family to express their guilt for buying the weavers from the Weaving Bureau by mistake and causing losses to the Weaving Bureau. Please go up and forward it to the Emperor."
Wang Yongji nodded and took it.
Soon, the people brought by Wang Yongji found out that the identities of the weavers were correct, and took them away.
Bang!
As soon as Wang Yongji left, the cup of tea he had just drank was thrown to the ground by Xu Jie, splattering broken porcelain pieces and tea leaves all over the floor.
Xu Jie was naturally not angry with Wang Yongji.
He felt uncomfortable because he was being manipulated by his students.
"Let someone clean it up. In addition, you personally take this letter of mine to the capital and hand it over to Zhang Puzhou."
As Xu Jie said this, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Xu Kun, then turned around and left.
…
In mid-October of the first year of Wanli, as the climate became colder, the days became shorter and the nights became longer.
Shen Li, the daily note officer, finished writing the latest daily note content in the Hanlin Academy. When he arrived at Zhang Juzheng's residence, the sky was gradually entering dusk.
He had to use the candlelight to see clearly the face of his teacher Zhang Juzheng, and said: "Today's lecture in the Wenhua Hall, His Majesty asked Qiu Jue why he did not follow the Queen Mother's wishes and forgive the condemned criminals. Enfu replied Your Majesty has no objection to saying that the law cannot be lenient, but His Highness seems to like to ask Enfu about matters related to the Queen Mother. The student is worried that if the Queen Mother sees this daily life in the future, it will be detrimental to Enfu."
"This is your Majesty's original intention! It is to prevent the mother from changing the son system from happening in the future."
Zhang Juzheng said with a smile.
Shen Li was a little surprised after hearing this: "The student thought Enfu would do this."
"Uneasy, or angry?"
Zhang Juzheng asked.
Shen Li did not answer.
"If it is beneficial to the country, but the king does not want to do it, he should do it as a minister. And ministers should be like this. It is better to be loyal than to flatter. It is better to be happy to help than to be worried about it. .”
Zhang Juzheng said.
Shen Li bowed after hearing this: "Students, please remember Enfu's teachings."
Then, Shen Li suddenly realized: "So, Your Majesty is preparing for the harem to be involved in politics in the future?"
Zhang Juzheng nodded.
Shen Li laughed: "So, Your Majesty knows how to help."
"I will also know about you Shen Zhonghua in the future! Your Majesty asked the servant to serve as an official because he intended to get close to the people recommended by the original servant and Tan Zili, instead of abandoning them."
Zhang Juzheng replied with a smile.
After hearing this, Shen Li nodded, and then bowed again: "Students, remember Enfu's pointers, and you will definitely live up to your majesty and Enfu's expectations!"
At this time, Zhang Jingxiu came to report: "Father, Wang Runlian is here."
"welcome!"
"Students resign!"
Zhang Juzheng nodded to Shen Li, and after Wang Yongji came in, he smiled and asked Wang Yongji to sit down and asked, "What did the old gentleman say?"
Wang Yongji conveyed Xu Jie's words to Zhang Juzheng.
Zhang Juzheng smiled slightly after hearing this: "After all, you are an old gentleman. This is the so-called teacher's way. He will know how to pave the way for students! The next restructuring should be worry-free."
Wang Yongji raised his hands and said yes, and asked: "In addition, Xu Fan and his offending slaves have been escorted to Beijing."
"The old gentleman is an old gentleman, and Xu Fan is Xu Fan! There is no need to tell the servants about this."
Zhang Juzheng waved his sleeves and said directly.
Wang Yongji then resigned and only brought Xu Fan and Xu De to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Not long after Xu Fan and Xu De were escorted to Beijing, Zhu Yijun learned about the matter from Zhang Jing.
"Then how did the cabinet vote?"
Zhu Yijun asked around the fire.
Zhang Jing said: "Xu De, the housekeeper of the Xu family, consorted with the eunuchs and secretly bought the weavers of the Weaving Bureau. He committed a heinous crime. He was executed together with the officials who committed the crime in the Weaving Bureau! Xu Fan was not strict in his discipline of the domestic slaves, and he neglected to indulge the domestic slaves. Although When he was handed over to the eunuchs, he was coerced by Quan Chen and encouraged by his servants, so he was punished by being sent to Jizhou to join the army."
Again, it was the domestic slaves who took the blame.
Zhu Yijun had to admit that it was indeed not easy to deal with the powerful.
Because they can always blame everything on their domestic slaves.
Most domestic slaves will not go against their master's wishes.
After all, these domestic slaves enjoy the same fine clothing and food as their masters, just so that they can go through fire and sword for their master in the future, that is, they will take the blame.
Of course, the domestic slaves also had to obey.
Because their parents, wives, and children are also slaves of their masters, relying on their masters to live a high-class life with fine clothes, fine food, and even a group of slaves. If they disobey, their families will lose everything, and even their lives.
At this time, Zhu Yijun just said: "It seems that your husband and Xu Jie have reached some kind of deal. Based on the overall situation of the restructuring and favors, Hai Rui still has to accept your husband's request to be lenient with the Xu family. Xu Fan I don’t want to kill him, I just send him into the army, because I want to see how the Xu family will behave next.”
"Your Majesty knows things like a god."
"If not for this, he Xu Fan would have already met the fate of the second Yan Donglou."
Zhang Jing replied.
Zhu Yijun nodded.
He found that Xu Jie was still very powerful and knew how to pave the way for him, so he chose someone like Zhang Juzheng as his protection.
But Zhu Yijun believed that Xu Jie would never have imagined that the emperor himself had already targeted his family!
In this era, there is no such option.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun was not disappointed that the Xu family could not be confiscated. Anyway, the Xu family could not escape. Maybe when they got richer, they could eat enough at once.
Zhu Yijun had to admit that Wanli in history did not find the right person to make a fortune. He turned to his teacher's family. In the end, he only got hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and got a bad reputation. He might as well change his target and find a real fat sheep. slaughter!
Then, Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Jing: "Who is escorting Xu Fan?"
"It's still Wang Yongji who is inspecting the border town as the censor of the army."
Zhang Jing replied.
Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this, knowing that this was the dividend obtained by Wang Yongji and Hai Rui who went to Shushen to impeach Feng Bao together, so he said: "Go and contact Wang Yongji and give Wang Yongji a few words. He remembered to convey to Qi Jiguang what Yuan Fu said, 'Xu Fan is Xu Fan, Xu Jie is Xu Jie', and also asked him to tell Qi Jiguang about me looking at the screen every day."
"yes!"
