Chapter 602 Phoenix Yufei (1)(1/2)

The story of Mrs. He swallowing gold in front of the Censorate, under the encouragement of someone in his heart, was circulating in the capital for half a month. Until the beheading of the person involved in the case, Ling Chi's Ling Chi, exile and unslavement were all dealt with, the censors continued to mention it when the letter was submitted.

As Shen Rui expected, as the victim, the Shen family, three fame-loving children were tortured and disabled to death. Any censor who came from the imperial examination could not criticize such a Shen family, so the matter of Mrs. He ultimately affected Wang Shouren.

Although the case was settled, the censor was originally "reported and reported", and all kinds of impeachment of Wang Shouren were still filled with the young emperor's desk.

The little emperor did not look at it at all, and stayed all of them, and refused to give up the idea of ​​Wang Hua entering the cabinet and Wang Shouren entering the Tongzheng Department.

The cabinet dragged it on the grounds that it was "fearing that public opinion was boiling".

Wang Shouren, who was in the whirlpool of public opinion, was at ease. When Shen Rui came to visit, his teacher was wearing a half-old Taoist robe and holding his son to teach him to write step by step.

Seeing Shen Rui following Chang'an into the study, Wang Shouren put down his pen, smiled and waved his hand to let him sit without any tribute, and then said, "You told you to stay away from the door, but you still ran out." As he spoke, he handed his son to Chang'an and took him out.

Shen Rui smiled and said, "Isn't the case settled? I came here quickly because I missed the teacher. Since the teacher asked me to come in, it would be okay to come."

As he said that, he looked at Wang Shouren again. Seeing that he was much thinner than before, but he was energetic. His spirit was not comparable to before. He couldn't help but secretly praised him. The God of War was indeed suitable for staying on the battlefield, but he still said, "The teacher has cleared it."

Wang Shouren glared at him and said, "What kind of childish behavior is like?"

Shen Rui touched his nose awkwardly and said, "I am also inspired by my disciples."

Wang Shouren snorted and said, "You are much fatter than in September. I don't know if you are neglecting your homework." But you have to get a test for him.

Shen Rui was also used to it. He went to visit Yue's family two days ago. Not to mention that his father-in-law was competing for the exam, even his brother-in-law asked him to write two articles.

Shen Rui understood that they were eager to hope that he would enter the officialdom, and he himself was not in a hurry at all. He would have to pass the exam without any way, because Shou Ge really might not have the patience to wait for him for three years.

Moreover, it was just a few years since Liu Jin was in power. He had never thought of turning the tide alone. He only hoped that he could have an official like Wang Hua and Wang Shouren who could say a few good words to save them from persecution.

This time, Shen Rui came to the Wang family and brought some recent essays, so he respectfully handed over them, and then took the paper and pens that had been prepared on the side to memorize a classic text.

After reading the article, Wang Shouren looked at the words again, nodded and said, "No, it's not bad, but it's quite beneficial. The words need to be practiced well. If you write urgently, you must be steady."

Shen Rui smiled and thanked the teacher, and then said, "In the past month, my second uncle was at home and also gave me some advice on my homework."

Wang Shouren raised his eyebrows, shook his head and smiled, and said, "After all, he is the Hanlin who has been there for many years, and the Imperial College Priest, it is also your blessing."

Shen Ruizhi Wang Shouren also knew what had happened before. He said this to take into account the face of his disciple and was very tactful.

You should know that he went to pay homage to his father-in-law Yang Tinghe after the New Year, and was praised for his articles as helpful. When he mentioned his second uncle's advice, Yang Tinghe said without hesitation: "I did something clear. I just hope that he will not be confused again in the future."

This stain on Chenzhou actually caused more or less the reputation of all the Shen family's children. How could Yang Tinghe endure the innocent suffering of his good son-in-law, who had a bright future in his family.

Shen Rui couldn't argue for Chen Zhou. Besides, Chen Zhou was too stupid to take the daughter of a Jinshi as a concubine this time, and it was not a mistake for anyone to say that he was confused.

After finishing the exam, the master and the apprentice really talked about the use of military forces in Taihu.

Shen Rui knew the strength of the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Shouren also said bluntly: "The military discipline is relaxed and the military preparations are empty."

However, Wang Shouren was in charge of the army and always had the ability to turn decay into magic. He briefly talked about several major battles with Shen Rui. When it was intense, Shen Rui still felt excited and suddenly became passionate. He wished he could abandon his pen and join the army, and he also galloped like this on the battlefield.

"The Taihu sailors were indeed carefully trained by people. Fortunately, the time was still short and the weather was not yet established, and their supplies were cut off, so they finally took them down." Wang Shouren said, "It was also because Wang Shangshu was in charge and personally inquired about various dispatches."

The Secretary of the Wang Shangshu he mentioned was Wang Shi, the Minister of War of Nanjing. "I heard people say that Guizhou suppressed rebellion and praised him very much. This time he dealt with him, and he was indeed very good at using military force. Unfortunately, the old man has become older and has suffered frequent injuries in recent years. He has retired several times."

Shen Rui also sighed silently. Generally speaking, Nanjing is a place for people to support their elderly care. It is a pity to put such a person in Nanjing. From what the teacher said, the old man is afraid that he will not be in this position for a few years.

Thinking of Liu Liu and Liu Qi rebelling and Ning Wang rebelling, Shen Rui sighed deeply. I wonder if this Nanjing soldiers and rebels had the power to fight with the rebels after Lord Wang Shi retired, and whether it was as powerful as in history...

As he thought about it, he couldn't help asking, "According to what the teacher saw, if it was a training force in Nanjing..."

Wang Shouren's face gradually dimmed when he mentioned the radiance of martial arts. He was silent for a moment and said, "Now the imperial treasury is empty, and there is nothing to do. Natural disasters continue, and Tatars knock on the edge..."

Shen Rui pursed his lips and said, "The emperor originally intended to raise a imperial naval army in Taihu Lake to prevent Ningfan. If he practiced well in the future, might he go to sea?"

Wang Shouren was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Are you thinking about sea trade? You have been simple. It is feasible to guard against Ningfan, so it is not easy to go to sea. The rivers and sea ships are different, and it is difficult to distinguish the direction at sea. You need a chart, and you have to lead the way. During the Taizong period, the charts were lost long ago, and the destroyed ones were destroyed. It is difficult to recreate the grand occasion of the Three Guards eunuchs that year."

Shen Rui smiled bitterly and said, "I thought about going to sea for profit because I didn't have money, but I couldn't get off the boat without money. How to go to sea? It's such a dead end."

Wang Shouren said: "Although this Songjiang disaster is not a real Japanese pirate, there are fewer Japanese pirates. Not to mention Japanese pirates, there are not many pirates across the East China Sea."

As he said that, he sneered, "I don't know how many maritime merchants in the southeast can let the court get a piece of the pie. By then, if it is not a pirate, he will become a pirate."

Shen Rui was also silent. They all knew that the sea merchants and pirates were actually no different, but the pirates kept robbing and did not sell goods very much, and they mostly sold stolen goods; while the sea merchants were selling goods while robbing other small fleets on the way.

It is easier to cover up a few sins in the vast ocean.

The imperial court's fleet is large enough, but without strong naval forces, it is still easy to be sniped by ulterior motives at sea.

What's more, snipers may not all come from maritime merchants.

Maritime merchants who are unwilling to give up huge profits at sea will definitely use all relations between North Korea and China to prevent the court from rebuilding the fleet and navy.

Shen Rui couldn't help but mutter, "I don't know what King Ning relied on to raise Taihu water bandits."

Wang Shouren was silent for a while and said, "I'm afraid... it's not just Songjiang who was robbed."

Shen Rui was stunned for a moment, and his heart was filled with anger. He couldn't help but curse: "Ning Fan is so conscientious. I really shouldn't keep this disaster!"

Wang Shouren sighed in a low voice: "The army of the imperial court naturally needs reputation, so the vassal kings do not care about those. Most of the vassal kings act as a blessing on the fiefdoms, and the court pretended not to see each other. If it was a big deal, the emperor was just a reprimanding. The court was always very cautious about the vassal kings."

*

Shen Rui was like Wang Shouren and believed that the court was cautious about the vassal kings.

But within two days, Shou Ge broke his view.

The previous incident of the Nanhai County King entering Beijing without authorization was found to have all kinds of illegal laws, and even detained the victims of Shanxi's disaster into Kyoto. At that time, although Shou Ge also issued an order to instruct King Qing, his tone was quite stern, but in essence, he only exempted the Nanhai County King from being given the title and took back the fief. At the same time, he issued an order to kill Yibin, but did not implicate the other prince Qing's mansion.

On the first day of the second month, the princess Yibin and Wang Jin of the Zheng Palace visited a prostitute during his mother's mourning and was impeached by the inspector's censor.

In fact, it is very common for visiting prostitutes and taking concubines during mourning, not to mention the fact that the honorary and relatives are among scholars and officials. As long as the children are not produced, such ironclad evidence is generally the case that the people do not procuratorate the officials.

If a civil servant or military general is still caught by a political enemy, he may be impeached. If the court had not been in a serious struggle, he would have raised it high and put it down gently.

Not to mention the royal family members, if they are not jealous of real power, no one will be patient.

But this time, the little emperor directly issued an order to dismiss Wang Jin and instructed King Zheng to restrain the royal family of the Zheng Palace.

Although all the officials were surprised, they remembered that King Zheng had made Yingzong unhappy, and the royal family had always been disliked by the Zheng Wang Mansion, and the young emperor was a filial person, so he was afraid that he would be shameless and unfilial, so he was not a big deal.

Immediately after the seventh day of the second month, King Rong Chen, Chen Qiba Prefecture, made the original Maha Grassland in Xin'an Town, Qiba Prefecture.

King Rong was the thirteenth son of Emperor Xianzong, and now he has just turned 20 years old. This emperor uncle has been kept in the palace, and he was also quite fond of the Empress Dowager Zhou. He was named King Rong as early as the fourth year of Hongzhi.

Before his death, the Empress Dowager Zhou of the Taishang was still very concerned about King Rong's marriage. Emperor Hongzhi had already decided to choose a concubine for King Rong, but unfortunately the Empress Dowager of the Taishang passed away soon. King Rong's mourning had not passed away, and Emperor Hongzhi passed away again. King Rong's marriage was delayed and he had never been to the vassal state and was still in the capital residence.

The Ministry of Revenue wrote a letter to point out that this place was established in the Yongle period to raise horses and military preparations. During the Chenghua period, there was a royal relative Chen Qi to serve as a farmland. However, when the late emperor was still alive, he had been cleaned up and stockpiled, and did not depose the public for personal gain. Now King Rong is going to choose a concubine and take the vassal, so he wrote a letter to ask the emperor not to give it to him.

Shou Ge did not refuse as before, but he also said tactfully according to his father's previous experience, but he directly rejected King Rong's request very strongly.

Soon after, the Empress Dowager Wang of the Palace appointed a concubine to select a concubine and began to choose a concubine for the King of Honor.

Once King Rong gets married, he will have to become a vassal immediately.

If King Qing and King Zheng are far away from their current bloodlines, it would be fine if they don’t care much about it. The little uncle of King Rong, who grew up with Brother Shou, has some feelings.

Shouge's attitude clearly showed his suppression of the vassal kings.

Even the Nanhai County Lord was sent back to the Qing Palace and issued an order to punish him, the Qing Dynasty wrote a letter to complain that his children and daughters were unfilial, including many county lords, including the Nanhai County Lord, the Township Lord, and the State General Zhu Qitao, Zhu Qizhe and many other illegal acts.

It was just a move to retreat as advance, crying and asking for comfort to the emperor. King Qing had more than a hundred children and grandchildren, so how could he care about the unworthy descendants?

At that time, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Justice also discussed the crimes of the people in the Prince Qing's Mansion, but the Shouge Ministry of Rites kept the memorial and was not investigated.

As a result, after the incident of the Zheng Palace came out, Shouge issued an order, and many generals, lieutenants and county lords, etc., went to Beijing to report, which had become a trend, which had harassed the road and humiliated the royal family. He immediately transferred the palaces of Wen to the provincial imperial courts and issued a notice. Those who dared to continue to violate the past and violated the situation should be severely punished.

He also sent an order to Prince Qing’s mansion, asking whether the descendants of Prince Qing were so unfilial, or whether they were dismissed.

It was a frightening King Qing to submit a confession.

Ordinary ministers only thought that this was the new dynasty after the change of the reign, and the new atmosphere was new.

However, the senior leaders were well aware of the inside story of Taihu bandit suppression, fearing that the little emperor would not know the importance of it, so he became proud of the Ning clan's arm and wanted to subdue other clan kings.

Once you have done something hot, you will be forced to rebel against the vassal kings.

Today's Ming Dynasty cannot withstand the "Jingjian" again.

However, the cabinet went to communicate with the little emperor several times, and the little emperor said that the old man was too worried, but he did not agree with it.

The three old masters of the cabinet went back to discuss and agreed, and they all agreed that there might be an internal official making trouble in front of His Majesty. The little emperor was not determined and was also very fond of military affairs. This time, after the eunuch Zhang Yong obtained military merits, he took charge of the Imperial Horse Prison. Will there be an internal official and eunuch who also wanted to take this path and then advocated it hard in front of the emperor...

With this sword and weapon, there will never be peace.

Now the censors under the three cabinet masters have begun a new round of impeachment of internal officials.

In addition to the clichéd villain who is close to the cabinet ministers and carefully selects eunuchs, he also accused the inner palace of being extravagant and greedy and cruel. The emperor was not as frugal as the late emperor, and he also spent too much on toys.

In the eastern warm pavilion of Qianqing Palace, Shou Ge couldn't help but feel frustrated after he threw two stacks of folds before he was slightly relieved.

Liu Jin stood by, silently watching Shou Ge venting, then leaned over and picked up the notes scattered on the ground and smiled and said, "The emperor also knows their tune. The more alarmist the more it is, the more loyal they are, they are worried about the country and the people. Why bother with such people? When it is still cold, it is important for the emperor to take care of themselves."

Brother Shou looked at him squintedly and said coldly: "They scolded you too, and you watched you too, but you were not angry, but you were very obsessed."

Liu Jin smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I have never stopped being scolded. If I want to get angry, I will not know how many times I will be angry."

After a pause, he turned and said, "Your Majesty, please look at the notes. How many of the internal officials who are working around you have never been scolded by foreign ministers? Or are there any curses? The servants' small matters that are bigger than their fingernails can't hide them from these censors."

Brother Shou's face became more and more heavy. He glanced at Liu Jin for a few times, but he didn't respond. He turned around the house with his hands on his back twice, turned around and took a copy on the other side and looked it out.

He also looked at it for a few seconds and threw it down. He continued to read the next book, but stopped. Shouge said, "Liu Yu, the inspector of Zhili Censor, impeached the eunuch Wu Zhong and was ordered to choose a marriage. He insisted on being a good man, and his subordinates were good at doing good fortune. Koso was not a plan for the Queen Mother. Why did he go out to choose a marriage? Which marriage did you choose? Or should you choose Princess Rong after the election?"

Liu Jin laughed dryly and said, "I think it's the Queen Mother's decree."
