Qi Jiguang killed Dong Hu at Xifengkou and captured Bu Hachu alive. Datong general Ma Fang was at Huyukou. The pass was broken and the barbarians returned with plunder. Zhang Juzheng himself only planned to send non-Jin party members to this matter. The censors headed by Li Le, who was born in the imperial family, went to check. The ability to extend the power of supervision from the imperial court to Xuanfu Datong was a success in itself in Zhang Juzheng's view.
However, Zhang Siwei insisted on adding insult to injury and corrupting Li Le. He used all kinds of methods, including coercion and inducement, to force Li Le to the ground and force Li Le to kneel down as an official.
This violated Zhang Juzheng's taboo, and he would definitely retaliate. Li Le played a trick of being born in Cao Ying but in Han, and fooled Zhang Siwei. This came to the stage of Zhang Juzheng's attack.
"In the case of Zhang Chucheng from the right side of the military department, the Governor-General Shangshu Wang Chonggu said that the imperial edict should not be written in gold, so I asked him to destroy it." Zhang Juzheng talked about the first thing. The imperial edict of Wang Chonggu's daughter was in gold, which was against the rules.
The golden seal is reserved for the king and the prince, while the golden seal is reserved for the princess. Wang Chonggu does not have any title, so using the golden seal is arrogant.
Your surname is Wang. You are not a king, so you dare to issue a decree in gold letters? !
Wang Chonggu's expression changed drastically when he heard this. He looked at Yang Bo with pleading eyes, hoping that Yang Bo would come out and say something to put the impeachment to rest.
Wang Chonggu's daughter married Yang Bo's son Yang Junqing. Yang Junqing was the top military scholar in the fourth year of Longqing. He served in the Fusi Yamen of Jinyiweibei Town and was a sentencing officer under Tishuai Zhu Xizhong.
When Yang Bo heard what Zhang Juzheng said, he was full of emotion, and finally bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed. My son Yang Junqing did what he did. When Duke Xinzheng was in power, my son violated the law. I ask your Majesty to convict you, deprive you of your honors, and reduce your official status. Go back home and live leisurely.”
Yang Bo did not nag Zhang Juzheng, but confessed his crime directly to His Majesty who was studying on the platform. This was a real crime, and messing around would only put himself in an even more embarrassing situation.
Yang Bo chose to surrender.
Zhu Yijun put down his pencil, sat up straight, looked at Yang Bo and asked calmly: "When did Yang Dazai know that his son violated etiquette?"
"I'll find out later, so I ask your Majesty to tell you the truth." At this point, Yang Bo chose to tell the truth. Such details were not important at all. His son had committed a serious crime of violating etiquette and law, and he had failed to teach him well, so he should be implicated.
"Who trespassed?" Zhu Yijun looked at Yang Bo and asked again.
Yang Bo bowed his head and said: "My son Yang Junqing, Wang Shaobao, former Yuanfu Gao Gong, and eunuch Chen Hong, the eunuch Bingbi, committed this crime. This is a serious crime, and your majesty will punish you severely."
"So, what do you think Mr. Yuan Fu should do?" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked.
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I believe that the golden decree of Mrs. Yang Junqing should be revoked. It is appropriate for Yang Junqing and Wang Shaobao to be fined for one year."
"Yeah." Zhu Yijun was stunned. Is Zhang Juzheng so easy to talk to?
Just take away the golden imperial edict and fine you one year's salary? Is this the end? !
This punishment is really too light.
Yang Bo stood up tremblingly, shook his sleeves, knelt on the ground, buried his head deeply, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, I am ashamed of myself. I have failed to teach my children well. I have been reborn as a clique, I have destroyed my relatives, and I am obsessed with power." , I beg your Majesty to depose this old minister."
"What does Yang Dazai mean by this? Are you not even willing to take back the golden decree?" Upon hearing this, Zhu Yijun's tone changed and he asked coldly.
"I don't dare. I am the one who governs people. I am trusted by my lord and the late emperor to not abandon me. I have only a small amount of merit. I always boast that I will become more outstanding when I am in danger. I am rich but not overflowing. I have come and gone, written scriptures and martial arts, and served the world." The minister of Yi'an occasionally prides himself on being dedicated and dedicated. Today, it is just a joke, which only adds to the laughing stock. I invite you to become an official. I sincerely hope that your majesty will allow you to return home with your bones." Yang Bo's voice was trembling.
Yesterday, he told Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu at his house that sooner or later, his old face, Yang Bo, would be pulled off, thrown to the ground, and stepped on severely.
But now the ten-year-old master asked Yang Bo if he was taking retreat as an advance, forcing the court not to punish Yang Junqing and withdraw the imperial edict, which was a mouthful of phlegm spat on Yang Bo's face.
Yang Bo was highly regarded by Emperor Jiajing and relied on him for many border affairs. Yang Bo did not let down Emperor Jiaqing's support and did very well. However, the Jin Party has deteriorated. How glorious it was in the past, it is now What a shame.
Zhang Juzheng saw this posture and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Taizai Yang is a minister of great virtue. When it comes to proclaiming great things, he will announce major cases. When he is in Jiliao, he will be safe in Jiliao. In our army, we will be safe on all sides. In the official department, , then the test method can be implemented. I sincerely ask your majesty to use the merits of the attack and forgive me."
What Zhang Juzheng meant was that in view of Yang Bo's achievements in the past, stop chasing and scolding him. His Majesty's words were as sharp as a knife, piercing Yang Bo's proudest place.
Moreover, the Ministry of Personnel also needs Yang Bo to preside over the examination of the law.
Zhu Yijun looked at Yang Bo and then at Zhang Juzheng, only to realize that Yang Bo was serious, not retreating in order to advance, nor was he relying on his old age to force the emperor to make concessions. He just couldn't afford to lose that person and planned to run away.
Feng Bao, who originally planned to speak, saw the situation clearly and chose to shut up. When His Majesty was speaking, Feng Bao was determined not to interrupt.
Zhu Yijun became much gentler, and said with a smile: "Taizai Yang made a serious statement. He relies on many things for state affairs. I have a weak moral character and rely on ministers of civil and military affairs at home and abroad to assist Bi. How can Taizai Yang abandon me and abandon me in vain?"
"This..." Yang Bo was speechless and remained silent for a long time before speaking: "Your Majesty will never give up. I am so grateful that I shed tears of gratitude."
Yang Bo didn't know how to continue. The little emperor's words blocked his words. He was already disloyal. If he disobeyed the holy order and insisted on leaving, it would be even more disloyal and unfilial.
Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "Yang Dazai is a man of average height."
Yang Bo, the leader of the Jin Party, was not so disgusting, but it was really disgusting to be replaced by Zhang Siwei.
Since the Jin Party wants to have a party leader, it is better for Yang Bo to be in the Wenhua Hall. At least everyone will not be so worried.
Zhang Juzheng's main firepower was aimed at Wang Chonggu. Wang Chonggu's daughter used imperial edicts in golden letters. It was still when Gao Gong was in power, but not many people knew about it. Zhang Juzheng happened to be the one who knew about it. If he didn't speak out before, it doesn't mean that Zhang Juzheng has forgotten it. .
The person who impeached Wang Chonggu for his arrogance was Zhang Chucheng, who was from Jiangling, Jingzhou. He was from the same hometown as Zhang Juzheng and was a die-hard Chu Party member.
"Your Majesty has an edict to deprive Mrs. Yang Junqing of her golden imperial edict, and to fine Yang Junqing and Wang Shaobao one year in salary. Do you have any objections?" Zhang Juzheng looked at Wang Chonggu and asked word for word.
Wang Chonggu did not have an attack after all.
This matter involved Yang Bo, and Yang Bo was able to suppress the matter by suppressing the situation. A more severe punishment would easily hurt good people. This treatment was already excellent for Wang Chonggu.
Zhang Juzheng signed the memorial and handed it to Zhang Hong. Zhang Hong presented it to the emperor. Zhu Yijun thought for a while and put the seal of Wanli Treasure, and then looked at Zhang Juzheng.
The impeachment of Wang Chonggu's golden decree and transgression is just the beginning.
Zhang Juzheng picked up the second memorial and said: "Chen Tang, the imperial censor of Huguang Road in Nanjing, reported the impeachment. Ma Fang, the commander-in-chief of the Datong army, was afraid of patrolling the border and inspecting the Ding's construction, so he bribed the arsenal director Lin Shaohuai and the soldiers. Wu Zhe, who was prepared to serve as a councilor, paid a total of 76,432 taels of gold and silver in bribes, and everyone gained the stolen goods."
As soon as Zhang Juzheng opened his mouth, Wang Chonggu was horrified to the extreme. This matter was extremely confidential. The Huyukou Pass was just a major construction project of the Great Wall. Since the peace negotiation, there have been many similar cases. Lin Shaohuai and Wu Zhe are both the core members of the Jin Party. Backbone, how was this case discovered? Why was there no news yesterday? !
When did it happen? When did someone get the stolen goods together?
Both the Shuntian Prefecture Yamen and the Criminal Department have the eyes and ears of the Jin Party. How come the stolen goods were so quietly stolen!
"Tishuai?" Zhang Juzheng looked at Zhu Xixiao, the commander of the Ming Dynasty Jinyi Guards, who was standing at the end.
"At five o'clock this morning, the palace door opened. Following His Majesty's edict, I led the troops to seize the two families, and seized both the people and the stolen goods. A total of more than 65,400 taels of silver were recovered. Everyone has entered the Fusi District of Beizhen, waiting for arraignment. ." Zhu Xixiao replied to the emperor on the stage.
Zhu Yijun knew about this. He wrote the edict and stamped the seal with his own hands. Lin Shaohuai and Wu Zhe were both the backbone of the Jin Party.
Yesterday, You Qi took a bunch of evidence and gave it to Xu Jue. Xu Jue handed over all the evidence to Feng Bao. Feng Bao, as the eunuch in charge of the ceremony and the governor of the East Factory, asked for an inspection.
"Wang Shangshu, I heard that if there is no official document from the Ministry of Punishment, it will be a white paper case without an edict. If there is no official document, it will be a yellow paper case. If there is an edict and an official document, it will be a formal case. I don't know what the Ministry of Punishment can do. Do you want to sign the real edict?" When Zhu Yijun opened his mouth, he didn't talk about the corruption case first, but was going through the formalities.
He emphasized the word 'true' very seriously. The edict was written by him himself!
If the Ministry of Punishment dared to use this kind of card procedure, Zhu Yijun would definitely give Wang Zhigao a mark.
To recruit someone from the Imperial Guard, you must need a driving post, which is a post written by the emperor with specific reasons. This post does not have a criminal record, but is just an edict.
If the Jin Yiwei arrests people at will without the emperor's edict, it is called a blank slate case, which will not be recognized by the courtiers, and the Jin Yiwei will be censured by the officials.
However, there are edicts, but there is no copy of the criminal record. The emperor personally supervises the handling of major cases. This is called a yellow paper case.
If there is an edict or a criminal record, it is supervised by the emperor and approved by the criminal department. This is called a formal case.
Zhu Yijun was asking Wang Zhigao, the Minister of Punishment, whether the Punishment Ministry recognized this case.
If the Ministry of Punishment does not approve it, then it is just a yellow paper case and some gossip.
Wang Zhigao, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, took a look and realized that the fight between the Zhang Party and the Jin Party was turning upside down. If he, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, got involved randomly, he would be crushed to pieces by two behemoths!
With Zhu Yijun's hand, Ti Commander Zhu Xixiao handed the driving sticker and the file to Wang Zhigao.
Wang Zhigao read the case file carefully, then wrote a letter on the edict, turned the emperor's edict into a driving notice, and Tiqi arrested people. Since it was the emperor's order, it was presided over by Chen Tang, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it was approved by the Ministry of Punishment, then It is not a white paper case or a yellow paper case, but a serious case and an ironclad case.
Chen Tang, the censor of Huguang Road in Nanjing of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was responsible for the impeachment. He had already signed the edict and there were no problems with the procedure.
Wang Zhigao looked at Yang Bo with a helpless expression. Zhang Juzheng had been planning for a long time. He had already grasped your painful foot, but he was just too lazy to attack.
This move was like thunder, unstoppable.
"Wang Shaobao was the governor of Xuanda before. Does Wang Shaobao know anything about what's going on here?" Zhang Juzheng stretched his hand slightly forward, leaned on the back of the chair, and looked at Wang Chonggu with a bad expression.
