At this time, Wang Guoguang only glanced at Zhang Siwei, then took off his official hat and asked the Jin Yiwei to escort him down.
Zhang Siwei still looked angry.
Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Siwei at this time: "Aiqing, please sit on my left side."
Zhang Siwei was stunned for a moment, and then he said yes.
Fang Fengshi smiled at Zhang Siwei when he sat down.
However, there was no joy on Zhang Siwei's face. He only looked solemnly at Wang Guoguang, who was dragged down by the Jin Yiwei, and then glanced at Shen Shixing.
Shen Shixing did not raise his head to look at Zhang Siwei, but sat opposite Zhu Yijun with his head bowed respectfully.
Zhu Yijun said at this time: "After the birth of the emperor's eldest son, he really wanted the emperor's eldest son to be blessed by God and make the emperor a successful heir. The point is not harsh governance. Yuan Fufu has been serving me for so many years, and I have also received memorials from various ministers. It is said that the current situation of Haiyan and Heqing is clear, which shows that there is no harsh government, but Zhang Aiqing, the second assistant, is right, there are still some treacherous ministers, so we should eradicate treachery."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
"In the middle of the story, there was a memorial written in Shixin, which said that after His Majesty took charge of the government, he should eliminate traitors and establish the power of the Emperor instead of just showing kindness, so as not to make the world mistakenly think that Your Majesty only knows how to be lenient and does not know how to uphold justice, so that This makes the villain gradually have the intention to deceive the emperor and offend the emperor, and mistakenly believe that your majesty is unknown and cannot detect the mistakes that Yuan Fu did not notice!"
Shen Shixing suddenly raised his head, stood up and took out Ye Shixin's memorial.
Not all Yan Guan belonged to Zhang Siwei's group. Naturally, there were also those who followed Shen Shixing if they wanted to abolish the New Deal.
Zhang Siwei then glanced at Shen Shixing again, with a cold look in his eyes.
Zhu Yijun laughed: "Although this Ye Shixin is a minor minister, he is very experienced and can be of great use!"
Zhu Yijun said: "As for the power of the Emperor Gang, Dongchang has discovered a great crime."
When all the officials in power heard what Zhu Yijun said, they all looked horrified.
"It was found out by Dongchang that the former chief assistant Xu Jie and his family had been smuggling goods to the Japanese country for many years, and many of them were even prohibited from being exported to the sea!"
"In addition, he was the mastermind behind the rumors that slandered Mr. Yuan Fu Zhang, and even the digging of his father's grave. I couldn't believe it at first, but after the conclusive evidence from the factory guard was presented, I I have to believe it!”
Zhu Yijun said: "So the most important thing at the moment is to eliminate traitors and establish the emperor's authority!"
"Appalling, simply appalling!"
"I didn't expect that Mr. Xu would be such a treacherous and evil person!"
Zhang Siwei was stunned for a moment, then sighed first, then raised his hands to Zhu Yijun and said with gritted teeth: "Your Majesty, if you don't kill such a person, it won't be enough for the people to get angry!"
Then, Shen Shixing also said: "Your Majesty, if the evidence is conclusive, then Mr. Xu deserves to be punished, but I ask your Majesty to be lenient in view of his contribution to the late emperor's smooth accession to the throne."
Zhu Yijun said: "We will first escort him to Beijing for interrogation and then talk about it. Precisely because he was a minister of the Yuan Dynasty in the two dynasties and had the merit to ensure that the late emperor ascended the throne, I will not unjustly accuse him. All crimes and culprits will be dealt with fairly according to the law."
Then, Zhu Yijun left Shi Yusi.
After Zhu Yijun left, all the officials in power looked sideways at Zhang Siwei.
Liu Yingjie, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, even snorted when he walked over from Zhang Siwei, and said to Yang Zhaoyan, the Minister of Military Affairs, Assistant Minister of Rongzheng and Deputy Privy Envoy:
"I have never seen such a shameless person! He has no responsibility. Even if Mr. Xu is really guilty, he should plead for him. Compared with Shenwu County, he is really unworthy of Yuan Fu."
"That's it!"
"The second assistant has the same difficulties as the second assistant. Don't you think that once Jiangling is gone, His Majesty will not be as gentle to the ministers as before?"
Yang Zhao sighed, and when leaving the Shi Yusi, he defended Zhang Siwei a few words.
Liu Yingjie nodded: "Yes, now that I think about it, it was better when Jiang Ling was there. At least he didn't have to worry about being scolded for his careless words. But the second assistant was also a bit weak. Even if what Wang Ruguan said was true, What are you afraid of? It’s just that you will be dismissed from your position. In order to keep your position, you will not hesitate to take the initiative to cater to His Majesty.”
"Who knows if His Majesty just wants to dismiss him from his post?"
Yang Zhao replied.
Liu Yingjie stopped talking after hearing this.
Zhang Siwei, on the other hand, kept his face cold and remained silent for a long time after returning home.
But after returning to his study, Zhang Siwei suddenly swept all his antique jades to the ground and said with a bared teeth: "Sooner or later I will kill the two thieves Shen and Wang!"
Imprisonment.
Fang Fengshi came here to see Wang Guoguang and said, "You have offended Zhang Puzhou very much now."
Wang Guoguang smiled and said: "Anyway, I am ready to retreat. And since His Majesty has shown his intention not to abolish the New Deal, why not take this opportunity to stop Zhang Puzhou from wanting to abolish the New Deal?"
"You are right. Once His Majesty Jianyan is accused of killing officials, it will be difficult for Zhang Puzhou to rely on hundreds of officials to force His Majesty to abolish the New Deal. Even if he tries to make amends afterwards, no one will dare to fight for him. "
Fang Fengfeng nodded and started talking, and then asked: "Why do you want to retreat? Since His Majesty has shown his attitude of not abolishing the New Deal, he supports the continued restructuring. We so-called Zhang Party members may still be able to preside over the government."
Wang Guoguang said: "I have my own reasons!"
"First, the Grand Master was indeed too strict when he was in power. Your Majesty needs to ease the relationship with the scholar-bureaucrats. After all, Jiangling Gong's ambition is to serve as Yao and Shun, and to be a benevolent king, the Holy Lord of the world, rather than a king with meritorious deeds. This 'remnant' of Zhang Dang can be regarded as showing to the world that the emperor is upright and does not still believe in Zhang Dang;"
"Second, the next fiscal and taxation reform in the Ming Dynasty is a top priority. It requires many officials who understand money laws. This is true whether they are managing trade externally or managing government assets internally. I intend to take this opportunity to step down and contribute to the work of the Ming Dynasty. This dynasty will train a few young people who understand money, law and finance."
After saying that, Wang Guoguang continued: "I am different from Zhang Puzhou and others. Although we are both Jin people and have been exposed to the ways of doing business with money and food, I am not from the Imperial Academy. I have been in the local area for many years and have seen the disadvantages of the government retreating and the people advancing. Therefore, he advocated that the state should strictly control business, so as not to allow businessmen to seek profits excessively, which would harm the state. However, Zhang Puzhou was born in the Han Dynasty and had no experience in the local area. He only saw the advantages of his own business and made a fortune, but did not know how to gain from doing business. After the profit has been gained, the local customs have been corrupted and the government has been manipulated, so I hope to abolish the New Deal and implement less big measures to disturb the people. Now that your majesty’s aspirations are more in line with mine, I naturally want to plan long-term things for you.”
Fang Feng nodded after listening.
…
It didn't take long for Zhang Siwei to be exposed here, and he asked for the crime of deceiving the emperor. Several officials who wanted to prevent Pan Cheng from joining the cabinet and suggested that the court get rid of tyranny should be executed.
The Director of Ceremonies also quickly criticized Zhang Siwei's secret revelation.
As a result, Zhang Siwei drafted the original proposals of several officials with the intention of hanging them for the crime of deceiving the emperor, and it didn't take long for them to be approved.
During the incident, Wang Jixian, Sun Wei and Niu Weibing were waiting for their Zhu Ben in the Six Branch Gallery. When they expected the court to prevent Pan Cheng from entering the cabinet, they saw the Jin Yiwei coming.
Chen Zheng, the eunuch who was responsible for the ceremony, also threw the three Zhu Bendu back to the three of them, and said: "You three should go to the imperial prison with our family to wait for the next execution."
"how come?"
"how so?!"
Wang Jixian, Sun Wei, and Niu Weibing had already looked at their own Zhu Ben, and couldn't help but be shocked after seeing it.
After Wang Jixian said it, he couldn't help but look at Sun Wei: "What does the cabinet mean?! It was clearly reported that the holy will was clear. At this time, Pan Xinchang could be prevented from joining the cabinet to test the palace's reaction. Why is it that he is going to be executed now? us?!"
"That's right. Without hint from the Duke, how dare we deceive you?!"
Sun Wei also started talking.
Niu Weibing said: "I want to see your Majesty, I want to see your Majesty!"
Chen Zheng laughed when he saw this: "Is it possible for you to see His Majesty whenever you want?"
After saying that, Chen Zheng stopped being polite and waved his hand: "Take him away!"
So, the Jinyi guards took these three things away.
At this time, Shanxi Taoist censor Wei Yunzhen also met Gu Xiancheng and others here and saw the Jin Yiwei who came to fetch him. He also received his Zhuben and agreed that it was incredible, and said with eyes wide open:
"How could this happen? How could this be the case? When Jiang Ling was in power, he could still remonstrate and obstruct the emperor. But now that Jiang Ling is dead, why should remonstrance and obstruction now become the emperor's imperial decree? You should be killed! How could the cabinet allow such an order to appear?!"
