With the impassioned words of Yushi Yang Jia citing scriptures, the officials who had just struggled to excuse Gao Qi were sweating profusely and regretted their impulsiveness more and more.
But the words have already been spoken. It is unrealistic to be a fool so that everyone will not care about it. There is no room for you to argue with others in the court. You can only bite them to death because you want to punish them. After all, cynical madmen have been cynical since ancient times. There is no shortage of Gao Qi.
It's just that they still haven't understood the true meaning behind this matter. Now is no longer the time when the political situation in the first year of Hongwu was unstable and the people of the world were not attached to it. To gain fame for the Yuan Dynasty's path of keeping filial piety, it was not just a matter of being exiled to Mobei.
The atmosphere in Fengtian Hall gradually became tense, but the emperor still did not express his position, and the same was true for several officials in the court, who looked like they were listening respectfully to the judgment.
The morning court ended an hour later, and the civil and military officials walked in groups towards Fengtian Gate. The usual chatter and laughter were gone, and everyone frowned and remained silent.
They argued endlessly, but the Holy Emperor just said that he had sent the supervisory censor to conduct a thorough investigation and would discuss the matter after a conclusion was reached. It felt like the thunder was louder than the raindrops, but the more they felt uneasy.
After waiting for the Fengtianmen officials to feel their tight heartstrings relax a little, they said goodbye to each other and walked towards the government offices where they worked. No matter what, they had to continue doing what they should do. If they delayed their serious errands, Your Majesty, please I won’t beat around the bush with you, and you won’t have to worry about anything in this life.
The warriors looked at the excitement, laughing and playing, that is to say, Xu Da was back, otherwise he would have been able to laugh at them. The happiest thing in life is to watch the Holy Master train these arrogant and arrogant scholars.
Xu Da frowned and looked back and scolded a few words. Those who were able to take sole responsibility among the martial arts were all sent out to guard the city. Most of those who remained in the capital were either idiots or reckless men. The Holy One was worried and stayed with him to take care of them. You can imagine how bad they all are. temperament.
They didn't understand the situation clearly and thought it was the time to conquer the world. They thought the Holy Emperor was the commander-in-chief who took the lead in loyalty back then. They didn't think about the current situation caused by the complaints of some literati.
If we really want to liquidate what Wu Xun has done overtly and covertly in the past few years in the future, how much noise will there be? If you laugh at others now, they will push you to the grave with their own hands.
Hearing Xu Da's scolding of a group of big and powerful men, he responded with a slumped head. He inexplicably missed the free days when several marshals were ordered to go out. It was so good.
Not to mention the military honors, some officials under the East Palace Sect are eyeing Chen Youzong, the general affairs envoy. If you ask for the best information in the world, the first one is the pro-military captain's office, and then the general affairs envoy.
In addition to the Holy Emperor, His Royal Highness is the only one who has the qualifications to inquire about the news about the pro-military captain's mansion. If they dare to inquire, they may not see the sun tomorrow. The next best thing to do is Chen Youzong, the general affairs envoy.
This group of people did not have high positions in the court, and they were basically officials of the former Prince Zhan Shifu. However, since Zhan Shicheng and Yang Xian were executed, Zhan Shifu was also personally killed by the Crown Prince during the turmoil of the imperial court integrating government agencies. Cancel.
Many people were transferred to local officials as officials, but they were lucky enough to stay in the capital and dispersed into the Zhongshu Province and the six yamen. Although Zhan Shifu is no longer there, the mark of the prince on them will remain forever. , so he still considers himself a disciple of the East Palace on weekdays.
"Chen Tongzheng stays behind. I'll ask you if I have anything to ask."
Chen Youzong actually didn't want to pay much attention to them, because he was in a bad mood now. Yesterday, he personally interceded for Wei Guan in front of the prince. He thought it was just a conflict between the local government and the guards, but he didn't expect it to develop. to the situation today.
It was a waste of his usual caution to realize that there was such a huge involvement behind this matter. What Chen Youzong was now anxious about was whether His Highness the Crown Prince had said anything to offend the Holy Emperor in front of Wei Guan, Gao Qi and others at his request yesterday.
Although there is a deep love between father and son today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has reached his prime after all. The father and son of the Tian family are an unusual family after all. There is no shortage of examples in history of the emperor doting on the prince, but those were all when he was young.
But as the emperor grew older and the prince grew older, things changed. For the emperor, the only person in the world who could legitimately threaten him was the prince and crown prince. No matter how fierce the others were, they were just rebels and traitors, and they were not legitimate.
Chen Youzong sighed, turned around and said with a smile: "I don't dare to ask for advice. Colleagues, just tell me if you have any questions."
Those few people bowed before them. Although they all belonged to the same East Palace sect, Chen Youzong was not comparable to them in terms of rank in the court or influence in front of His Royal Highness.
After a few polite words, they tacitly continued walking towards the General Affairs Office. The General Affairs Office belonged to Houli, so it was a little far away from the Liubu and other offices of Zhongshu Province, so it was naturally very secluded.
When there were no more people around, one of them spoke in a low voice: "Chen Tongzheng is well-informed. He went to the palace to meet His Highness yesterday. I wonder if you have any advice for today's matter?"
A person nearby also hurriedly spoke: "I dare not hide it from Chen Tongzheng. In the early years, I had become friends with Gao Jidi, Wang Changzong and others through poetry and articles. I knew that these two people could not have any rebellious intentions, so I excused him in the court meeting."
"The same goes for lower officials. Brother Gao had frequent contacts when he was working in Beijing. Although this person is aloof and upright, he should never be a treasonous person..."
Several people around him probably said the same thing. Since its establishment, Zhanshifu has been an official yamen specially designed for the emperor to reserve talents for the prince. Most of its members are young scholars. After all, even a few old men might not be able to survive for the prince to ascend to the throne.
Young scholars are naturally willing to pursue a world-famous scholar like Gao Qi. They were the ones who were the most angry just now. They were the ones who felt bad and relied on their scholarly ambition to excuse Gao Qi and others.
At this time, the cold wind blew my head soberly, and I came back to my senses and asked Chen Youzong for guidance. This was also the courage brought by having a backer behind him. There were also many young people in the Hanlin Academy, and they were all Jinshis from serious imperial examinations. Are they so afraid to make mistakes?
Chen Youzong suddenly felt that His Highness the Crown Prince’s decision to disband Zhan Shifu was a good decision. Although he lost a lot of party members on the surface, he also saved a lot of troubles. As the saying goes, both the glory and the loss are not only the loss of these party members, but also the master. affected.
Seeing that there was no one else around, Chen Youzong suddenly stopped and looked at them solemnly, and said word for word: "This matter ends here. In the future, no matter if someone asks you to sign a letter or anything else, you are not allowed to participate anymore. At home, Letters exchanged with Gao Qi and others must be burned privately as soon as possible!"
The faces of the people who were still chattering turned pale. The leader came back to his senses and immediately responded: "I will definitely follow Chen Tongzheng's wishes, but I dare to ask if this matter is really serious? Gao Jidi is as famous as Chengyi Bo Song Longmen Everyone."
Chen Youzong said indifferently: "Yang Mengzai, together with Gao Jidi and others, were hailed as the Four Outstanding Masters of Wuzhong in the past, and their literary fame was also famous all over the world. But last year, he was punished and died in the work station due to dereliction of duty. Could the world have collapsed at that time? "
Chen Youzong watched several people leave in fear. Now that the situation is unclear, it is better to wait and see. If it is anything else, it would be fine. But there is obviously a Holy Master behind this matter. Their guilt has nothing to do with the overall situation, but it must not affect His Royal Highness.
Chen Youzong put his hands behind his hands and looked to the south. The Holy Emperor could have directly ordered Wei Guan, Gao Qi and others to be arrested and brought to Beijing for review, but he deliberately put it aside to spread the matter to the world. Gao Qi and others had countless fans in Jiangnan Shilin, and they must have caused an uproar. .
At this time, officials from various government offices in the capital were whispering to each other, some were frightened and others were still angry. By the afternoon, countless letters were scattered throughout the capital to relatives and friends, with different contents.
The father and son had just finished their lunch in Jinshen Hall. It was a bit late for the court today. Zhu Biao was hungry after standing for a long time, so he passed the meal to him in advance. Seeing this, Lao Zhu simply started eating with his son.
"Biao'er, what did you see this morning?"
Zhu Biao sighed and said: "Yesterday, I felt that something was wrong. Wei Guan's case was clear at a glance. Whether it was the father or the son, he sent a letter to Cai Ben and the matter was resolved. Why send a supervisory censor again?" After some twists and turns, it turns out that my father, Xiang Zhuang, danced the sword with the intention of Pei Gong."
"Hahaha, our Hongmen Banquet will not be merciful and let the tiger go home. Those people think that they can just come to Beijing and fool us for two years, then they can resign and go back to their hometown to continue living a leisurely life. When they have nothing to do, they write poems and ridicule our famous names. How can there be such a thing in this world? Waiting for something good?"
