Chapter 134: Transferring loyalties as filial piety, falsely accusing a good person as a thief(3/4)
Zhang Juzheng suffered this loss in history. If Zhu Yijun saw his name, he would definitely think of this!
Xiong Dunpu has a bad temper, and I heard he is quite straightforward and irritable.
As Sichuanese, it is easy to offend colleagues with their bad mouth.
Therefore, he and Song Ru had long been enemies.
Last year, all the common people were caught in the rain when they were out. They took shelter from the rain and went to their houses, but the guards refused to accept them.
A group of common people then beat up the guards and broke in through the door.
Afterwards, the guard reported it to Yang Bo. After hearing this, Yang Bo was very angry and went to the Hanlin Academy to question.
As a result, Song Confucian officials imprisoned Xiong Dunpu on the spot. A group of common people were afraid of taking responsibility, so they agreed to identify Xiong Dunpu under the instigation of Zhao Yongxian and Wu Zhongxing.
Xiong Dunpu suffered a loss, and the relationship between the two naturally worsened.
When an honest person is angry, he beats and insults others.
Song Confucianism was different.
He secretly recorded Xiong Dunpu's words and deeds in the Hanlin Academy every day. Whenever he mentioned senior officials and had any foul language in his words, he secretly told all the court officials.
If not, then make it up.
Anyway, they just discredit Xiong Dunpu every day.
Historically, Song Confucianism went to Zhang Juzheng and said, Yuan Fu, Xiong Dunpu wrote a memorial in private to attack the New Deal, please take care of it!
The complaint was filed during the day, the memorial to impeach Xiong Dunpu was entered into the palace at night, and the man was demoted directly the next day.
Precisely because he knew this, Zhu Yijun had a clear understanding of the rights and wrongs between the two.
If I had known it earlier, I would have been able to handle it properly.
Who would have thought that Shen Shixing had hidden this from him, leading to the Fuku incident?
It was not until the incident became a big deal and people began to impeach Shen Shixing that Zhu Yijun learned the whole story from Shen Shixing.
It was said that when Shen Shixing went out for a dinner, he encountered a fight between the common people.
Confucian scholars of the Song Dynasty exposed Xiong Dunpu, a fellow scholar, and criticized Cheng Yu for not destroying the harem but discussing the political affairs.
This is not bad!
Shen Shixing immediately decided to control the impact.
In order to prevent the situation from escalating - especially not letting people know what Xiong Dunpu had specifically criticized the emperor.
Shen Shixing was demoted to Liang Zhejiang by Xiong Dunpu the next day.
The matter would have ended here. Promotion and demotion are not commonplace. Shen Shixing should do things more cleanly and take care of the loose ends.
As a result, recently, a fellow Shuji from the same discipline suddenly appeared.
They ran around and shouted that Xiong Dunpu was wronged!
In addition, now is the time to take the legal exam.
This matter was immediately made a fuss about.
Let’s not tell whether it’s true or not. You can investigate slowly. If the officials have heard about it, they should impeach Shen Shixing first.
Immediately, he reported that he acted arbitrarily and arbitrarily, and even demoted ministers easily before things were clarified. He treated the staff as a backyard, acted unscrupulously and lawlessly without any regulations.
The words were fierce, and it was clear that he would not give up until Shen Shixing was dismissed.
Of course, there is also an extension, saying that the officials were brought into this state by Shen Shixing and were not qualified to pass the exam.
In order to prevent any more officials from being punished by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, it is necessary to put things in order after Shen Shixing is dismissed from office before talking about passing the examination.
When the memorial arrived at the cabinet, Zhang Juzheng saw that he was not willing to do anything! He directly blocked the memorial at the cabinet gate!
If the cabinet refuses to do so, the following will naturally start making noise again.
Subsequently, many court officials issued memorials and attached memorials to impeach Shen Shixing.
Things are getting worse.
Rumors began to spread that Zhang Juzheng formed a party, Shen Shixing clung to the chief minister, and that the two men were involved in the cabinet and the official department, and they were ostracizing the emperor.
In other words, the Kao Cheng Law was just a tool used by Zhang Juzheng to seize power with the help of the official department.
In order to protect Shen Shixing, Zhang Juzheng was unwilling to set things right, which was evidenced by the fact that Xiong Dunpu suffered injustice in vain.
If it is not dealt with, it may lead to a serious disaster.
This morning, things finally reached a climax.
Shujishi, Hanlin and others brazenly joined forces and went to the palace to seek an explanation for this matter!
As for Zhu Yijun, he was finally unable to escape and was blocked in the Wenhua Hall. Now he had to come forward to wipe the butt of Shen Shixing.
When Shen Shixing faced the emperor's cross-examination, his expression was bitter and he was speechless.
Why is he acting dictatorially?
Isn’t it because what Song Ru exposed at that time was too shocking!
What can he say? Your Majesty, there are rumors outside that you insulted your aunt?
Not to mention the emperor, he didn't even dare to talk about Zhang Juzheng, and deliberately found excuses to blend in one or two.
If it weren't for the purpose of calming down the situation and preventing others from hearing the emperor's jokes, why would Shen Shixing take the risk and be directly demoted to Liang Zhejiang by Xiong Dunpu?
It turned out to be a good thing. It was originally a good intention, but now it is a mute eating Coptis chinensis!
Seeing that Shen Shixing was speechless, Zhu Yijun said expressionlessly: "Is it because of the ridiculous remarks about my mother?"
The words came out.
Shen Shixing's expression changed several times, like a sudden rain or shine.
Then he came to his senses and quickly bowed down to plead guilty: "I am guilty!"
Zhu Yijun snorted coldly: "You are not guilty. To serve your father, isn't it just that you should report good things and not bad things?"
"If the court officials tell me everything, why do I need the Imperial Guard?"
This is a bit harsh.
Shen Shixing, with a face like a bitter gourd, suddenly fell to the ground and took off his crown and hat: "I'm sorry for my sin, I beg your majesty to remove me."
Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing.
He neither agreed nor comforted him, he just looked at him coldly and gave him a lesson or two from time to time.
"Believe whatever Song Ru says!"
However, unlike what Shen Shixing was thinking at the moment, Zhu Yijun was not that angry towards him.
Historically, Zhang Juzheng was manipulated by Song Confucians, but now he is just replaced by Shen Shixing.
It's hard to say that I'm angry.
In fact, Zhu Yijun just wanted to take advantage of this good opportunity to hammer Shen Shixing.
As Zhang Juzheng's designated successor, Shen Shixing was not mature enough and had character flaws.
It would be bad if you don't work hard now when you are young, and in the future you will get used to doing things without telling the emperor, and make trouble in the cabinet every day.
Historically, Li Sancai offended our elder Shen Ge, and the emperor kindly took the decision for Shen Shixing and demoted Li Sancai three levels in a row.
In the end, Gu Xiancheng came to plead with Shen Shixing - everyone said that Shen Ge was magnanimous, but now that someone has offended you, you would be really magnanimous if you let him go.
Xiao Shen thought for a moment, this is the truth!
Then the emperor openly belittled people, but he secretly went to show favors.
As soon as the front-footer left, he was vaguely promoted and promoted to Nanzhili for training.
It can be said that he is the number one poster in the cabinet.
In order to prevent Shen Shixing from going astray and always doing things without telling the emperor, Zhu Yijun took great pains to first let this guy establish a correct concept of monarch and minister, and develop a good habit of reporting when something happened.
One of the monarch and his ministers knelt down to resign, while the other stood silently.
The atmosphere was extremely dull and depressing.
After a long while, Zhu Yijun sighed: "Shen Qing, you hid this from me in order to reconcile the internal and external affairs. I also know that you have worked hard."
"But now people outside are taking this matter and saying that the officials are unfair in handling matters and questioning the examination law."
"In order to protect you, Yuan Fu offended Yan Guan, and I also suffered a defeat today."
"In this way, Yuan Fu was trapped in dishonesty, and I was trapped in injustice, which made things worse. Shen Qing's good intentions also led to bad things!"
As soon as the words came out.
Shen Shixing was kneeling on the ground, but suddenly he started sobbing, as if he was touched and blamed himself to a certain extent.
"I am aware of my guilt! Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Yijun saw that the suppression was almost done, so he still stretched out his hand to help Shen Shixing up.
