Zhang Juzheng asked the military department to issue a golden order to Zhang Chucheng during the incident. The purpose of criticizing Wang Chonggu, Yang Bozi and Yang Junqing for their arrogance was to take Yang Bo out. Zhang Juzheng still did not want to do anything to Yang Bo. Although Yang Bo spoke for the Jin Party, he did not Things are still not too out of the ordinary.
But Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei were a little too ungrateful.
He must be provoked by Zhang Juzheng.
Ge Shouli, the official who was supposed to fight for the Jin Party, saw that this matter had nothing to do with Yang Bo, so he simply chose to shut up.
Lin Shaohuai, the director of the arsenal department, and Wu Zhe, the military counselor, embezzled more than 70,000 taels of silver. How much money did the Jin party get in Xuanda and Dazhou? How many unknown activities are there behind this? Who knows if Zhang Juzheng has any backup plans?
If you came up to him at this time, wouldn't Zhang Juzheng take the opportunity to slap him to death?
Zhang Juzheng asked Wang Chonggu, who had previously served as the governor-general of military affairs in Xuanfu and Datong, if he knew that someone was evading border inspections, inspecting Dingjian, and bribing the supervisors in central Beijing.
All the twenty-seven court officials knew clearly that these were all members of the Jin Party. It would be strange if Wang Chonggu didn't know. This was to give Wang Chonggu a chance to pick himself out.
"I don't know sincerely." Wang Chonggu didn't hesitate much and chose to protect himself.
Zhu Yijun was on the platform, the pencil in his hand paused, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Wang Chonggu said that he didn't know, just to get away with it and not be implicated. All the officials inside and outside the Wenhua Hall knew clearly that Wang Chonggu I know, but Wang Chonggu can just say that he doesn't know.
"Wang Shaobao doesn't know about it, so what does Wang Shaobao think should be done about this matter?" Zhang Juzheng asked Wang Chonggu for his opinion in turn. This meant that he had made up his mind. It seemed that he wanted Wang Chonggu to clean up the family, but in fact he wanted Wang Chonggu to harm each other within the party and reduce the number of people. His influence among the Jin Party further undermined the cohesion of the Jin Party.
The most important thing about cronyism is cohesion. Once the cronyism boat starts to leak from the top, people's hearts will be dispersed, and it will be completely dispersed.
Zhang Juzheng ordered Ma Fang, the chief military officer of Datong, to bribe the officer in charge of the parade to avoid the trap of the parade and let Wang Chonggu express his position. This was to further undermine the cohesion of the Jin Party. At least, they could not work together like this time to resist the imperial government. Inspecting the borders, inspecting the Dingjian, and truly extending the power of supervision to Xuanfu Datong.
This is the real purpose of Zhang Juzheng's second wave of offensive.
Wang Chonggu clearly knew that there was a pit ahead, but he could only jump down. Zhang Juzheng was so caught up in the situation that he didn't give Wang Chonggu any other choice. He said helplessly: "Of course it is better to be dismissed and investigated."
Yang Bo had a slumped look on his face and leaned back in his chair, feeling lost. How many things did the Jin Party hide from him? If Zhang Juzheng had not impeached Yang Bo with the Jin Zi Gao murder case first, Yang Bo would have been forced to leave the court early under this round of offensive.
Zhang Juzheng wanted to pass the law test smoothly, but Yang Bo still thanked Zhang Juzheng for not killing him. At least in the last period of his life, Zhang Juzheng saved Yang Bo's reputation.
Tan Lun, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, suddenly said: "Ma Fang, the left governor of Datong, fought in hundreds of battles and suffered dozens of wounds. He defeated many with a small number, which was a great victory. He captured dozens of ministers and beheaded them without any plan. His prestige was known in the border areas for a long time. I have made great achievements on the border, and tonight at dusk, I should give you a graceful appearance, so as not to chill the hearts of all the soldiers in the world."
Ma Fang is a Han nationality. He was robbed to Yibei and became Ananda Khan's horse slave. In the 16th year of Jiajing, he finally found an opportunity to escape from the enemy camp. He started as an ordinary soldier and relied on military merit along the way. Step by step, he climbed to the position of the left governor of Datong.
During the protracted confrontation from the 29th year of Jiajing to the 45th year of Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing looked at Ma Fang's achievements and only said: No more brave than Ma Fang!
Not only the little emperor is good at the trick of winning people's hearts by playing a red face and a bad face, but Tan Lun is also good at it.
The reason why Tan Lun sang like this was to cooperate with Zhang Juzheng, and he had already said hello in advance.
Zhang Juzheng wrote his own opinions on the memorial to impeach Ma Fang without saying anything, and handed the memorial to impeach Ma Fang, the left governor of Datong, to Zhang Hong.
If there is no one in the Jin Party cabinet, no one is qualified to post a floating vote on the memorial. Unless the emperor has a better idea, in general, the opinions of the cabinet will prevail. This is the indirect decision-making power formed by the Ming cabinet during the Wanli period. .
Of course, the emperor does not have to listen.
Zhu Yijun read the contents of the memorial for a long time, and after printing it, he said: "Instruct Ma Fang, the left governor of Datong, to return home and stay at leisure."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Wang Chonggu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that His Majesty the Emperor planned to discuss the matter and did not intend to expand the scope of the attack, and saluted and thanked him.
Zhang Juzheng did not pursue this matter and pursue it. It seemed to give the Jin Party a chance to breathe. However, Zhang Juzheng turned out the third memorial and said with an extremely serious face: "After reading the records, Xuanda Shanxi Vice-President Generals Ma Gui and Ma Jin, generals Jia Guozhong, Li Ruyao, Li Guozhen, Yang Erqian, Wang Guoxun, Xue Bangqi, Zhao Chongbi, Ge Chen, all ten generals were dismissed. Xu Xing asked questions, but still replaced generals and guerrillas, Xi Yuan, Zhang Yuan Bao, Pu Dongyang, Wu Kun, Ren Binggong, etc. were added to the list."
"Why!" Wang Chonggu stood up suddenly and said in horror: "Yuanfu, this is the Wenhua Palace. You said it yourself. Everything must be discussed by the court. How can you be so arbitrary? The Lord is on the platform. I’m looking at you!”
Zhang Juzheng took out a form, slammed it on the table, and said sternly: "It's because the border inspection officials gave Li Le a review of the construction records of the Great Wall! You took the money from the court, where are the passes? Where's the Great Wall? The army Where is the pawn! Wang Chonggu, answer me, where is he?"
"The pass at Huyukou is broken. Where is the pass! There is no pass at all!"
"Yang Dazai, do you know these things?"
There was some expectation in Zhang Juzheng's eyes. He didn't want Yang Bo to be a participant in these bad things. Yang Bo was definitely the one who gained the benefits, but he didn't want Yang Bo to be the one who instigated it.
"I know, I knew it last night." Yang Bo showed a sad smile, a little at a loss. He looked back and forth, saw the horrified faces of the courtiers, and answered Zhang Juzheng's question with a painful tone.
Yang Bo realized that he was right again, Zhang Siwei should not have provoked Zhang Juzheng.
Corrupting Li Le only made Zhang Juzheng angry. According to Yang Bo's understanding of Zhang Juzheng, if he had not provoked Li Le, Zhang Juzheng would not have fought so aggressively. One punch was better than the other, and the Jin party was unable to resist.
Zhang Juzheng was relieved when he heard this. At least the virtuous minister he had watched for so many years did not completely become a bug in the country in the last part of his life. At least when he spoke for the Jin Party, Yang Bo felt uneasy.
It's not Zhang Juzheng's problem with knowing people, it's Lu Shusheng's problem.
Zhang Juzheng looked at Wang Chonggu again, held his hands, and asked in a calm tone: "Wang Chonggu, why don't we, the twenty-seven courtiers of the Wenhua Palace, go to Xuanfu and Datong to have a look?"
Zhu Yijun coughed slightly and said: "If you really want to go, I will go together and call Shangqian Amber by the way. Commander Qi knows better about military matters."
If you call Qi Jiguang, you have to call 6,000 southern soldiers, or 100,000 town troops to go together. This is not a review, this is counterinsurgency.
The reason why the Jin Party did not dare to lift the table was because they knew they could not win.
What is Zhu Yijun doing? Adding fuel to the fire, adding fuel to the fire.
What's the use of just making noise, do it!
Fight!
Rivers of blood!
Zhu Yijun was standing up for Zhang Juzheng. He was in charge of the young country's suspicion and the imperial power was absent. No matter what Zhang Juzheng did, he lacked the support of righteousness. Zhu Yijun really couldn't do much. He would not sit back and watch Zhang Juzheng fight alone.
When Yang Bo heard the little emperor speak, he immediately understood that the palace had probably known about Li Le for a long time. The palace was very dissatisfied with Zhang Siwei's corruption of Li Le. Yang Bo looked at Wang Chonggu and whispered: "In-laws, be careful what you say."
Yang Bo mentioned his in-law relationship with Wang Chonggu in the Wenhua Palace, not to scare Zhang Juzheng, but to make the irritable Wang Chonggu sober and not to be irritated by the current situation and talk nonsense, which would eventually lead to more embarrassment. something happened.
Since Zhang Juzheng dared to attack, he was obviously well prepared.
Feng Bao picked up the list and said in amazement: "Awesome, awesome. I looked at this list. There are a total of 1,773 piers and abutments along the Xuan Mansion. Wow, there are more than 700. The gates have been in disrepair for a long time, and the passes at Changgoukou, Sihaiyekou, Changshengkou, Guanbeikou, Duhukou, Shagoukou and Sanchakou were actually built in the 18th year of Jiajing's reign."
"Over the years, these passes have been asked by the court for money every year to renovate them. In March of the fifth year of Longqing's reign, Guanbeikou alone asked for 70,000 silver to renovate the passes. Where are the passes? Wang Shaobao, you are trying to support the bandits' self-respect and guard against favoring the enemy. ah!"
"Then what Wang Shaobao means is that more than ten generals including Ma Gui and Ma Jin, deputy commander-in-chief of Shanxi Province, cannot be moved?" Zhang Juzheng closed the memorial and went straight to the point. He did not let Wang Chonggu talk nonsense or change the topic, but went straight to the point. The core of the problem.
Or, you, Wang Chonggu, bear the price of the lax construction of the Great Wall.
Or, let the two deputy generals of Xuanfu and Datong and more than a dozen generals bear the price.
When something goes wrong, someone always has to bear the responsibility.
Wang Chonggu thought about it again and again, and said with certainty: "Under the sky, it's the king's land; on the shore of the land, it's the king's ministers. This is how it should be to celebrate power and punishment."
This time he was caught by Zhang Juzheng. Zhang Juzheng was determined not to let the Jin party go without some blood. He fell out but didn't dare, so he had no choice but to admit defeat.
Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu and then at Yang Bo. Yang Bo's face was full of pain. It was a tragedy for the Ming Dynasty that such a thing happened. Wang Chonggu's expression was a bit resentful, as if he was resentful of why Mr. Yuan Fu kept staring at them.
Zhu Yijun was a little strange. He did something wrong and was punished. Isn't this right?
Whenever he, the emperor, made a mistake, Empress Dowager Li would ask Zhang Juzheng to write a note on his sins, and ask Zhu Yijun to go to the Ancestral Temple to recite to his ancestors until he recited it. This Jin party made a mistake and was found out. Wang Chonggu had What a complaint!
Zhang Juzheng shook his sleeves and took out the fourth memorial.
This is not the end.
