Wanli Xinming

Chapter 83 Dalmatians
The Lianghuai Yuyan case is being handled here, and the Yu Maoxue "false words, alienating rulers and ministers" task force led by Li Santai over there is not idle.Yu Maoxue was worthy of giving, but the bones were still very hard. After persisting in the interrogation room for several days, he only said that he was full of heart. This "Chen Wu Shi Shu" is all for the emperor.

Li Santai saw that his family's torture methods for many years had failed, and with the mentality of a dead horse being a living horse doctor, he resorted to the "boiled eagle" method pointed out by Zhu Yijun.

After being irradiated with strong light, pierced with needles and splashed with water, Yu Maoxue was not allowed to sleep for three days and three nights in a row, and after constantly asking him the same questions, he actually pried open his mouth in a trance.

In fact, these questions are very simple: "How old is your son?" "How old is your daughter?". "Who ordered the memorial to you?"

Li Santai never imagined that such a simple method would actually be more effective than the various tortures of Jin Yiwei before.After being surprised, he expanded the results of the battle, and finally got out the information that Zhang Siwei wanted to divide the ruler and the ministers, and obtained the information from it.

According to the confession provided by Yu Maoxue, Li Santai also took the middleman contacted by the center into the prison, and under Miki, the whole inside story was completely clarified.

It turned out that when Yang Bo resigned last year, Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Siwei reached a deal to introduce him to the cabinet after he completed the "Records of Sejong".Unexpectedly, Zhu Yijun inserted a pole in it, and Wang Guoguang became a master of Dongge ahead of schedule.

In the Ming system, if it is not a very holy family, the order of the cabinet is generally based on the time of entry into the cabinet.Not to mention that Wang Guoguang entered the pavilion a year earlier, even if he entered the pavilion one day earlier, Zhang Siwei would have to always be ranked behind Wang Guoguang.

Although Zhang Siwei is 14 years younger than Wang Guoguang, he is almost a generation behind.But Zhang Siwei himself is a medicine jar. Compared with Wang Guoguang, a strong and strong color embryo, he probably will leave before Wang Guoguang dies.

Later, I found out that Wang Guoguang was able to enter the pavilion because he edited the "Wanli Accounting Record" and Jane was in the emperor's heart. The emperor also said in front of Zhang Ju, "Wang Shangshu can be called 'the plan'." .

It is the same as compiling books, compiling history books by himself, and Wang Guoguang compiling accounting books. With the emperor's current temperament, Zhang Siwei thought to himself that he was completely uncompetitive in terms of holy family, so wouldn't it be hopeless for a lifetime to be the first assistant?The mood is a little broken.

He was originally a person with a strong desire for power, although Zhang Juzheng repeatedly assured him that the "Records of Sejong" would be compiled next year and immediately introduced him to the cabinet.But Zhang Siwei felt that his fate was still in his own hands.

Under the greed of profit, he forgot Wang Chonggu's warning, instructed Yu Maoxue to participate in Zhang Juzheng's performance, and alienated the ruler and minister - he did not expect to be able to participate in the first assistant, but just buried a nail in the emperor's heart.After all, opportunity always favors the well-prepared.

Wang Guoguang is Zhang Juzheng's ally. If Zhang Juzheng falls one day and Wang Guoguang is not in his place, he will come back.If Zhang Juzheng doesn't fall, this memorial also gives him a warning - not keeping the promise will inevitably pay the price.

Yu Maoxue was able to be taken because he took refuge in Yang Bo when he was the county magistrate. He was originally a member of the same camp. How could he not listen to Zhang Siwei's words?What's more, there are 1000 taels of moistening pens.

In fact, in the original time and space, this performance really played a role in alienating the ruler and ministers. Yu Maoxue later rehabilitated from "never recruited", and finally became a third-rank servant.

From Zhang Siwei's point of view, it is normal for ministers to support science, and the emperor should also like to hear it.If the court is peaceful, can the emperor fall asleep?
He judged that Yu Maoxue was at most a distant rookie or dismissed from office. Even if Zhang Juzheng died of anger, he had to abide by the unspoken rules of civil servants. ——In the original time and space, it is true.

However, something unexpected happened to him, the emperor with considerable political literacy actually lost consciousness and directly imprisoned Yu Maoxue.

After all, Zhang Siwei never stood in the position of Zhang Juzheng and could not see the political landscape between the emperor and the chief minister of the cabinet, so it is not surprising that there was a misjudgment.His uncle was even more cunning, but Zhang Siwei didn't listen to him?

Li Santai handed over the book to the previous one, and the task was successfully completed.After Zhu Yijun saw the situation, he sneered a few times.He told Li Santai not to leak it, and put Yu Maoxue in the sky prison like that, not to be released without an imperial decree.

At this time, the governor of Xuanda, Wang Chonggu, took the urgent letter from Zhang Siwei and yelled: "Climbing the intestines! Are you causing Zhang Juzheng with such a big thing? You don't receive the goods in time! Melon goods!"

It turned out that when Zhang Siwei saw that the emperor didn't play cards according to common sense, it seemed like he had been hit by a stick on his head, and Venus was flying around.

This Yu Maoxue was sent to the imperial prison, and it stands to reason that in order to reckon with his family, he must be clenching his teeth and asking for a straight name.

But Zhang Siwei, as Wang Chonggu commented, has a thirst for power, a narrow scope, and only a politician.He put himself in the role of Yu Maoxue - he must be ready to do it.If I can't be an official, wouldn't it be good for me to go back and be a billionaire?

Thinking of the terrible consequences of being hated by the emperor, Zhang Siwei's intestines are almost regretful.He hurriedly wrote a long letter, explaining the cause and effect, and instructing the right person to send it to his uncle to find a proper idea.

Wang Chonggu was scolded, but Zhang Siwei, who was the closest to the cabinet in the Jin Party, gave up at this time. After years of training, the large amount of gold and silver he paid all went to waste.

Helpless, Wang Chonggu resisted the urge to scold him and wrote back to his nephew. The main idea was: "Hold on! Zhang Juzheng is angry, and you have to hold back! The emperor will not announce the truth of the case, Yu Maoxue is in the sky. Stay in prison until the emperor wants to use you or give you up - then you will know if Yu Maoxue is dead or alive."

Of course, Wang Jianchuan's letter must not be like this. The original words are as follows: "Zhang Jiangling has a wide range of ideas, full of energy and awareness, and his ambition is to make his achievements in the annals of history. You must not do it lightly. You are humble and small, and the only word for 'forbearance' at this moment is to spit in your face and you will have to wait for it to do it yourself, so be safe - wait for it to lead you into the cabinet."

"Your Majesty has worked hard to rule, and at this time it has already revealed the meaning of being arbitrary; inside and outside the palace walls, as soon as you listen to Your Majesty, the court's rewards and punishments are gradually determined. Yu Mao's academic affairs must not be published."

"However, you took the initiative to return to Jiangling for this matter. Remember the word perseverance - if you endure until you enter the cabinet, you can part ways with him. The emperor will be happy to see this."

Wang Chonggu wrote a lot about his judgment on the court, and asked his nephew Wang Quan, who went to Beijing to do business, to bring it to Zhang Siwei.

After Zhang Siwei finished reading the letter at home, Wang Quan asked for the letter again, put it on a candle in front of Zhang Siwei and burned it, smiled and said to Zhang Siwei: "Uncle asked, this letter is a lot of speculation. , not to stay."

Zhang Siwei didn't take it seriously, only frowned and said, "When I wrote to my uncle, the remaining salt case had not yet been released. Now I heard that the salt merchant Wang Gongyu has confessed several household officials. This Wang Gong Yu and Wang Guoguang have long since joined the family and recognized Wang Guoguang as their uncle."

"In this way, this Wang Gongyu's account of leaving the household is probably to lose the car to protect the commander, and exchange a few staff for Wang Guoguang's cleanliness - I knew this earlier, I can just push it at this time, why use Yu Mao to learn?"

After hearing this, Wang Quan secretly thought that this piece of Siwei has lived on dogs for 48 years.He smiled and said: "Second brother, when I came this time, my uncle urged you not to act rashly, the more you move, the more wrong you will be. If you attack Wang Guoguang again at this time, you may not be tolerated by Zhang Juzheng. How are you doing yourself?"

Zhang Siwei nodded when he heard it, and said, "Oh, why should my uncle tell me about this? Of course I know it. Just saying this just now means regretting the past."

Although Wang Quan is a businessman, he is friends with a family of officials. He did not enter the officialdom because of his poor imperial examinations. This level is higher than that of Zhang Siwei.He listened with a smile and said, "Based on my younger brother's knowledge, Wang Gongyu's arrest should be because the emperor wanted to divide the alliance between Wang Guoguang and Zhang Juzheng - or that sentence, how did you use it? The emperor held Wang Guoguang in his arms. A bunch of handles, this guy has long been the emperor's loyal dog!"
