Chapter 780 Let me be the chief censor?
Twenty rulers, compared with the killing of a stick, are almost no punishment.⊥, at this moment, the hall was silent, and no one thinks that Chen Zan was pretending to be wrong, because the left censor of the Censorate of the Censorate has always been a very honest and upright person. Not to mention that Wang Fulin is just a nominal subordinate, there is absolutely no private interest. Even if he has a private friend, how could this old man have ever bought face?
At this moment, thinking of his original arrangement, Zhang Siwei, the third assistant to the cabinet, was already sweating on his back. After gritting his teeth, he stood up first and scolded him with a stern voice: "As Wang Fulin said before, the censor's report is a duty, but this dynasty has never made any examples of news and reports! As a scholar, he should have a deep understanding of the subtlety and meaningful words, but he even spent all his efforts on the screen to describe all kinds of speculation details, as if he had seen it with his own eyes, which was even more unreasonable. You are censors, not those storytellers in the market, and they simply mean the word "censors"!"
I hope that some kedao have not sent the memorials to the Tongzhengsi Department to the Tongzheng Department!
Zhang Siwei started, and Zhang Han, the Minister of Personnel, felt a little sad. The reason he had used Wang Fulin to take action before was only because Wang Fulin seemed to be Zhang Juzheng's confidant, and he had revealed flaws. If he succeeded, he could establish his authority. If he failed, he could also show that he was not a puppet who followed Zhang Juzheng. After all, in his opinion, he had been serving as the Minister of Personnel for several years, and was no longer the person who had been in a shallow position and was forced to push up by Zhang Juzheng. Not to mention anything else, the current six ministers and the left censor of the Censorate, all have changed. He is the oldest!
However, he thought that Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei were urging him behind his back. However, he did not expect that the suspicious person he noticed was You Qi. What he didn't expect was that Zhang Juzheng suddenly scolded You Qi and drove him out of the house. Then Feng Bao took in the man, but he died in a few days! And this incident actually revolved around Wang Fulin, and started to stir up storms with a group of censors who bombarded Wang Fulin's slaves!
Even though he realized that things had taken a turn for the worse, he was unable to accept it after following Zhang Siwei. After all, this means reversing his image into Zhang Juzheng's lackey, which he was unwilling to accept, who had already planned to set up his own business. He naturally hoped to become the latter if he was timid.
Zhang Han did not say anything, nor did he report the whole story of what he had just gone out to interrogate, but Liu Yingjie could not remain silent. After all, among the three, he, the new Minister of Justice, had the least qualifications, and seemed to have nothing to do with Wang Fulin. But to be honest, Wang Fulin traveled to Jiliao and was wandering around the place under his jurisdiction as the governor of Jiliao. However, compared with Chen Zan, who had completely no personal relationships, he was very serious in his work, but he was a very flexible person. Otherwise, he would not have cooperated with Qi Jiguang and Li Chengliang, nor could he tolerate a governor like Zhang Xueyan.
Because of this, he was more careful than Chen Zan at this moment, and he meticulously repeated the details of the question as it was. Finally, he said: "The family members of these two people were at the palace gate for some reason. They found that they were safe and sound. After being stunned, they went up to hug their heads and cried. According to the information, Qian Ruyi, the chief censor of Guangdong Dao, had found them before, and planned to let them beat the drum if things were inconsistent."
When Liu Yingjie said this, Zhang Hong, the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor, suddenly saw that the temples of the left censor Chen Zan were exposed, and he was obviously very angry. He knew that Chen Zan had not said it just now, but was ashamed that such a scum appeared among the censors of the Censorate. Liu Yingjie reported that he was selfless, so he came forward to report the last among the eyes of the many people around him. After he also affirmed the testimony of Chen Zan and Liu Yingjie, the ministers in the hall finally had a small commotion, but soon became quiet.
Everyone knows that this is just the tranquility before the storm. Because just like Wang Fulin's previous scolding of catching wind and shadows and turning black and white, the nature of this matter is really bad. The censor of Kedao is not the Jinyiwei, but in that chapter, he swears that the Wang family transported their bodies in the middle of the night and buried them in the wasteland. Could it be that he had to pay his respects to the neighbors of the Wang family? Moreover, after submitting a memorial, he also went to find the family of the victim. Does that mean that if the big boss in the court wants to protect Wang Fulin, these guys will make things worse and not fear power?
"It's so inconspicuous!"
"It's simply unheard of, and we must punish it severely!"
"If there are people who imitate this trend in the future, wouldn't it be a joke in history?"
At this time, among the officials standing in Wenhua Hall, there were only a half of them from Kedao. This half of them could still maintain restraint. However, among the more than half, the people who had been bombarded by Kedao resonated with Wang Fulin's previous criticism of Qian Ruyi and others. They stood up and expressed their passionate opinions, demanding severe punishment for Qian Ruyi and others to serve as a warning. In addition to Yixue's old hatred, Zhang Juzheng had already made a clear attitude, and Zhang Siwei's mouthpiece had also jumped out. If he didn't beat the dog in the water, would he be watching such a lively today?
Seeing this side of the situation, Wang Fulin secretly thought in his heart that he would succeed and defeat the king. If he had revealed his flaws today, he would probably be chased and beaten. However, when he saw that the left censor Chen Zan was as tired as if he was ten years older, he couldn't help but feel a little apologized. When he said that after he returned to Beijing, Chen Zan summoned him, he had a few words of scolding, but he also had a kind reminder, but his reward was to take twenty days off first, and then take another sick leave for one month later. Now he has become the main force in stabbing the group of censors of the Kedao.
However, even if he set up a trap, if others didn't jump down, there wouldn't be today. Who would make people like to pinch him as a soft persimmon? And when things have developed to this point, it is no longer possible for him to jump out and pretend to be good people. In that case, he would not use this incident to block the gun for Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, but to have obvious speculation.
Now we have to pretend to be a good person, plead with Emperor Wanli and forgive those censors. At least they must be at the level of the third-rank court and the Shangguan. Instead of small roles like him. Among them, it certainly does not include Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao who were thrown into the muzzle after You Qi died. I don’t know who had the courage to hit the gun and use their official future to gain gratitude from the censors.
"Your Majesty, you are distorting the black and white, and you are exaggerating. Although this is hateful and hateful, if you just punish him severely, I am afraid that the censor of Kedao will become afraid from now on and will no longer dare to speak out!"
When such a remark that was different from others came suddenly, Wang Fulin looked around and recognized the old man. Wang Chonggu, the former Minister of Justice and now replacing Tan Lun, was Wang Chonggu. Among the many officials in the hall, Wang Chonggu was second only to the left censor Chen Zan. He stood up resolutely at this time, with a kind of old-fashioned style of planning the country. However, Wang Fulin knew that in this day and age, anyone who hindered Zhang Juzheng was all mantised by a mantis arm, and Wang Chonggu was never stupid. Instead, he should be a wise man who judged the situation. Why was he the first to jump out?
"It's ridiculous. Could it be that if you let such people down, let them ruin the atmosphere? In the future, will the Censorate and Liukelang all come out to be the ones who dare to stare at other people's backyards and report some trivial matters all day long?"
He refuted Wang Chonggu sternly, but Zhang Siwei had countless thoughts in his mind. He didn't know why Wang Chonggu chose to come out to fight the stage now. In his opinion, with his own criticism, some people who had originally arranged would definitely retreat and no longer dare to talk about the rumors about Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao killing You Qi. In this way, even if the matter was barely exposed, Wang Chonggu suddenly defended these censors, suddenly added a lot of uncertainty to the matter. But he always trusted Wang Chonggu very much and knew that he would definitely not be aimless, so he could only grit his teeth and change the established plan according to his uncle's speech.
For a moment, I saw that the uncle and nephew were talking to each other and they said tit-for-tat. In the end, the fight turned red and the others could not penetrate the mouth and did not dare to interrupt.
At this point, Wang Fulin finally tasted it. Just like he and Wang Daokun played the so-called anti-essay, Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei's uncle and nephew were even more exaggerated, and they turned against each other directly in the Wenhua Palace. I was afraid that even if some clues were found afterwards, Zhang Siwei would push Wang Chonggu all over, so he could avoid a political suspicion. Afterwards, Zhang Siwei lost strong support in the court. If he followed Zhang Juzheng and became a qualified lackey, Zhang Juzheng would be more and more at ease.
What's even more amazing is that if Wang Chonggu, the Minister of War, stepped down before he was appointed, was unemployed and retired, it would be extremely bad for the prestige of the court. He could always stay for a while, and it would be a day to delay it.
Today was really not in vain...
Emperor Wanli, sitting in the main seat, watched with great interest as the apprentice and the Minister of War quarreled there. When he saw Wang Chonggu raise his voice, he actually rolled up his sleeves. He couldn't turn his eyes, hoping that the two of them would immediately fight into a group of people. After all, these two high-ranking officials who are qualified to participate in the imperial examinations are only serious and hypocritical. Have you ever seen them like those eunuchs fighting each other and you would stab me and I would like to pinch you out of your brain? Of course, the eunuchs' disputes were originally invisible, but they were still the blessing of Zhang Jing. They hid from afar and watched the excitement twice, but they would never dare to let the queen mother and Feng Bao know about it.
Seeing the two arguing for a quarter of an hour, Zhang Juzheng shouted: "It's enough. Carefully, do you want to learn from Xu Ming?"
Xu Ming, who was named by the Chief Supervisor again, turned green and deeply regretted that he had nothing to do with him today, but he insisted on standing up for the stage with Wang Fulin, so he trapped himself in. But when he found that Zhang Juzheng didn't look at him and continued to talk, he felt relieved. No matter what, he would not be more unlucky than Qian Ruyi and others.
"I have written many letters to ask the late emperor to forgive the clerk, but that is because these censors only criticized the current ills and spoke inappropriately, or did not know how to avoid taboos, which angered the late emperor. At least these people have not distorted the right and wrong, stolen the shadows, and made jokes like today. If Qian Ruyi and others do not punish severely, will you all want to take all the trivial matters in your home in the future and be pointed out by others? These people can be demoted to the county magistrate of foreign officials and let them know well what is down-to-earth and what is false statements that ruin the country!"
He was actually demoted to the county magistrate directly?
Hearing this, Qian Ruyi and several other censors looked like earth. Even Wang Fulin couldn't help but take a breath, thinking that this was really cruel! It was already called unwilling to be honest from the time the censor was placed in the outside division of the office. Sending to the county magistrate was a foregone conclusion. If he was given a magistrate to be a magistrate, it would be a death sentence for the official career. Zhang Juzheng directly drove the person to the magistrate and the second official, which was disdainful to even the juren who had a little ambition!
"Accurate!" Emperor Wanli was in a good mood today and was in a good mood. He responded without thinking, "As Mr. Zhang reported, the cabinet immediately proposed to vote, and the Chief Listor will approve the prize!"
Although the emperor favored Zhang Juzheng, which many people know, Emperor Wanli has not taken charge of the government. The court meeting has not been a few times a month. The officials just kowtowed from afar and reported three things in a false sense. How could they witness the close relationship between the young lord and the powerful ministers like now? At this moment, there is no one who dares to stand out like Wang Chonggu before. Even when Emperor Wanli took over and returned to the palace and the officials dispersed, there were still people who could not come back to their senses, and there were more people who sighed in private.
As for Wang Fulin, he was extremely "lucky" to be summoned to Zhang Juzheng's cabinet again. Because the Prime Minister was busy with all kinds of things, there were almost no third-rank officials who could come here alone in the past. When he followed Zhang Juzheng into the door, he could clearly notice that several Zhongshu's servants had envious and jealous eyes at him.
As soon as Zhang Juzheng sat down, he said bluntly: "Tell me, did you do it on purpose this time?"
"Yes." Wang Fulin also knew that he could not hide it from Zhang Juzheng, so he admitted it directly. Anyway, he knew very well that Zhang Juzheng asked him to write the so-called 50,000-word Chen memorial, which was ready-made. "I heard that my neighbors all suddenly changed people before and after I returned to Beijing. I was always afraid that there would be some hearing in the wall. In addition, Eunuch Feng and Yuan Fu had tidied up the family rules before, so I thought about whether to follow the example and act in a show to see if someone was watching my family's movements. Who knew that this bad premonition was so accurate that he was targeted again. I also asked Yuan Fu to be kind and let me find some yamen to stay. Today I offended all the censors of the Kedao."
"You also know that you have offended it? After today, what other yamen dares to ask you?"
"Let's go out to the county headquarters..."
Hearing Wang Fulin's low murmur, Zhang Juzheng sneered and said lightly: "Those who have the talent to govern prefectures and counties have all sharpened their heads and want to be officials in Beijing. You know how to hide in vain. But you can't help but be satisfied. Chen Yuquan, the left censor, must have a reputation for being inadvertent. Moreover, since you accuse the censor of the censor who only knows how to catch wind and shadows and only knows how to focus on private matters, then do your best. I will inform Chen Yuquan of the Guangdong Provincial Censor, except for the inspectors, all five people, including Qian Ruyi, will be released in the near future. You can take on the responsibility of this censor in charge of the censor."
"!"
Wang Fulin felt like he was going crazy. After wandering around, Zhang Juzheng not only did not intend to transfer him from the Censorate system, but also planned to directly ask him to bring a group of new recruits to take charge of Guangdong Dao? How could this make those censors of the Taoist censors feel? How could he have tried his best to do it?
"As for your uncle Wang Daoguan, he will be with other Jinshi who are released from abroad at that time."
Although he didn't say where to place it, Wang Fulin finally calmed down.
Chapter completed!
