As murderous and heart-wrenching words uttered from the mouths of his former friendly colleagues, Wang Guangyang, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly became cold all over. He was beaten by thousands of people. What is the difference between his situation now and when he was suppressed by Yang Xian? ?
Maybe someone like me shouldn’t hang out in court...
Wang Guangyang put his head on the ground. He could be exiled and beheaded, but he just wanted to be clear. If this continues, he might hang himself from a beam. Since returning to the capital, he has felt powerless, as if his whole person is trapped in a quagmire, unable to survive or die. .
Zhu Biao sighed quietly, Wang Guangyang was talented and capable, otherwise why would Zhu Yuanzhang go out of his way to support him? This kind of opportunity is not available to ordinary people, and the real waste has no use value.
It's a pity that Wang Guangyang's temperament is not good enough. It may be because he was born in a wealthy family, and his behavior is more traditional and moderate. This character is okay in the Tang and Song Dynasties, but not in the founding years of the Ming Dynasty. Li Shanchang, Yang Xian, Hu Weiyong, these people Although he also holds a pen, he can also use a knife in his hand.
Zhu Biao bowed and saluted his father and said: "My dear father, Wang Xiang has been working hard since he entered the court. Although he has no great achievements, he has no major faults. Even if he has no merits, he has worked hard. It would be too much for all the ministers to say too much. Harsh, how could Prime Minister Wang be someone who was personally promoted by my father, so how could he be such an evil and sycophantic minister."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and looked at the officials who called him the happiest with cold eyes. Wang Guangyang was established by him personally. Although he is no longer alive now, he can never be an official who is corrupt, perverts the law, practices favoritism, otherwise he would not be admitting himself. Without knowing the person, do these officials really hate Wang Guangyang that much? It's just an opportunity to criticize Sang and Huai.
The excited officials below calmed down. Some upright imperial censors and several subordinate officials of Wang Guangyang pleaded for mercy. Everyone knew that Wang Guangyang had indeed not done anything illegal. Hu Weiyong and Hu Weiyong, who had been silent all the time, The six ministers also spoke one after another, following the words of the prince, even if there is no merit, there is still hard work.
It is obviously a request for mercy, but no merit is a fault in the court. The salary given by the court is naturally to make you serve the country, and it is not to keep you in good health. This is the conclusion that the civil servants have collectively sealed the coffin of Wang Guangyang in his life. After his death, No matter how famous you are, you can't escape being incompetent.
Wang Guangyang raised his head numbly and suddenly wanted to kill him. Let these colleagues who are saying something grand and careless take a look at it. You usually treat my orders perfunctorily, but now you want to trap me to death. Don't even think about being called incompetent. I, Wang Guangyang, am definitely not someone who will risk my life and talk about harming the country.
The six ministers began to rebel against their own ministers, in order to severely punish Wang Guangyang for dereliction of duty. At the same time, they also wanted to show the emperor that they had their own purposes and were definitely not in the same party, otherwise the situation would not be good.
Zhu Biao also saw the above, and immediately looked at the officials and said loudly: "Quiet! The appointment and removal of the Prime Minister is a major matter of the country, and it is decided by the Holy One. No matter what, Prime Minister Wang is still a high official in the court. What you say is too harsh. Let’s all wait patiently for His Majesty’s orders.”
As soon as Zhu Biao's words came out, the nobles and nobles naturally agreed. Although they were happy to see the civil servants being stupid, they also knew that if the emperor was angered, everyone would not have a good life.
boom!
As the sound of the imperial case spread, the officials, including Zhu Biao, knelt down towards the dragon chair: "Please calm down, Your Majesty, I will listen to the verdict!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the officials' bowed heads and ordered: "As the left prime minister of the dynasty, Wang Guangyang did not want to serve the king and be loyal to the country. He only knew how to be tolerant and self-sufficient. He was in the same room with traitors and could not go. He indulged in wine and poetry." Le, deeply disappointed with my expectations, dismissed him from the post of Prime Minister Zuo, demoted him to the rank of loyal and diligent uncle, demoted him to Leizhou to participate in politics, and then he can set off for his post, and he is not allowed to return to the capital without an edict!"
This is being thrown to the frontier, and it is still over in Hainan. It is only a little better than being exiled back then. At least there is an official position. Wang Guangyang suddenly woke up when he heard this, and even felt relaxed and at ease for a while, as if he had been back in Beijing for a long time. A horrible nightmare, now finally freed from it.
After regaining his consciousness, he no longer wanted to hit the pillar. The light in his eyes flashed, and he immediately kowtowed and said loudly: "The guilty minister accepted the order and failed to live up to God's grace. He deserves to die. However, the Holy Lord is kind enough to spare my life. I will do my best for the rest of my life." Governing the place in order to repay the emperor's favor."
The rest of the officials could only prostrate themselves in unison: "Your Majesty Fu Wei is so wise and powerful, I will bow down to you."
Zhu Yuanzhang was too lazy to say anything else. After waving his hand, Wang Guangyang left the court. There was not much chance of him coming back in this life. The golden mean of not forming factions, not seeking selfish interests, being low-key, and never causing trouble, perhaps in peacetime. The standard of being an official, but it is indeed not suitable to be an official under Zhu Yuanzhang.
Wang Guangyang's exit was also expected by everyone. Even because he was so honest, Hu Weiyong could take over directly without starting to clean up the Zhongshu Province. The people inside had already taken refuge with him.
The Minister of Hubu immediately stepped forward and said: "The responsibilities of the Zhongshu Province are very important, and there are many political affairs at home and abroad at present. The Holy Heart of the Holy Heart is also asked to be the dictator and the people who command the six departments of Zhongshu."
The others also spoke one after another. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "If you have any candidates for the Qing family, you might as well talk about it and discuss it."
There was a moment of silence in the court, and Hu Weiyong, as the right minister, said first: "The responsibilities of the left prime minister are important, and it requires a person with high moral character and respect to convince the public. It is beyond the capabilities of just one person. The ministers recommended Xu Da, King of Zhongshan, or Song Lian, the senior official. At the beginning of the founding of the country, King Zhongshan He had also served as the Prime Minister of Zhongshu, and Song Lian was a great scholar in the country and the teacher of the prince. The two of them were a perfect fit.
As soon as these words came out, the generals immediately became happy. Although Hu Weiyong was not bad, he was not a military general after all. They naturally hoped that Xu Da could become the left prime minister.
The people from the Six Ministries on the civil service side did not say anything. Only the Imperial Academy and Yushitai supported Song Lian. After all, in their eyes, Song Longmen was highly virtuous and respected, and he was honest and honest, making him the most qualified person.
Zhu Biao glanced at Hu Weiyong. This guy named two people who were least likely to be elected. Xu Da had already been a very popular minister, and if he was given the position of left prime minister, he would die. Song Lian was more mediocre in dealing with people than Wang Guangyang. , indeed do not have very high administrative ability, not to mention that they are still in the stage of returning to their hometown for retirement.
The Minister of Household Affairs took a step forward and said, "I think the most suitable candidate is the right prime minister. In his early years, Prime Minister Hu served as the Marshal's Office Secretary, Ning Guo Registrar, County Magistrate, Ji'an Tongpan, Huguang Qianshi, Taichang Shaoqing, and Taichang Qing. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he joined the Zhongshu Province as an official with rich experience..."
After someone took the lead, Hu Weiyong's momentum suddenly increased, and the nobles from Huaixi also expressed their support. After all, they also knew that the chance of Xu Shuai becoming left prime minister was too small, so they might as well support Hu Weiyong. After all, they were all fellow Huaixi fellows.
