601 Chapter 600 fear
"People from Jinyiwei broke into the household department and took Hai Rui away."

Li Fang hurriedly reported the news he had just received to King Yu, and then lowered his hands and waited for King Yu to speak.

But he didn't wait for King Yu's response. When he looked up, he found that King Yu was looking forward with confused eyes, and he didn't know what he was looking at.

Wei Guangde's expression at this time was also very serious, but his mouth was tightly closed, without saying a word.

When Wei Guangde said that last time, Li Fang was not there, so he didn't know what arresting Hai Rui meant to the emperor and King Yu.

The expressions of the two made Li Fang unable to understand what was going on for a while.

After a long time, after King Yu came back to his senses, he was in no mood to continue chatting with Wei Guangde.

Seeing the opportunity, Wei Guangde resolutely said goodbye and left Prince Yu's Mansion.

In the next two days, Wei Guangde continued to visit fellow villagers in Beijing after he left the office, but to be honest, he really couldn't find anyone suitable to enter the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Yes, even though he asked Chen Yiqin and Yin Shizhen to recommend candidates, he was not idle.

We are all from Prince Yu's Mansion, so we naturally have to share with each other if we have oil and water.

It's just a pity that there is no suitable one, so he can only give up.

He didn't pay much attention to the post of Zuodu Censor that was vacated by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Those who are qualified have higher qualifications and prestige than him, and they are all seniors, so how can they let go of their bodies and make friends with him.

"Wang Ting."

But three days later, Li Fang from Prince Yu's Mansion sent someone to send him a note, on which there was a person recommended by Chen Yiqin, who was currently Shangshu Wang Ting of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites.

Chen Yiqin is from Nanchong, Sichuan, and so is Wang Ting.

However, according to Chen Yiqin, this Wang Ting can be regarded as one of his elders, who once taught him to study, and also provided convenience when he first entered the official career.

Well, if Chen Yiqin or Wang Ting becomes a prominent figure in the Ming Dynasty, that's how the so-called Xiangdang actually came about.

Wang Ting, styled Zizheng, named Nanmin, was born in Nanchong, Sichuan.Jinshi in the 11th year of Jiajing, successively served as the head of the household department, the magistrate of Bozhou, the magistrate of Suzhou, the right deputy Du Yushi, and the right servant of the Nanjing household department.

This candidate was also selected after comprehensive consideration by Prince Yu's Mansion, and he thought it was a more suitable candidate.

In fact, after the Prince Yu's Mansion informed Chen Yiqin and Yin Shizhen of the news, they all reported a few names to the Prince Yu's Mansion, but the Prince Yu's Mansion didn't just do what they said, and the Prince's Mansion also had to compare.

You can't introduce an inappropriate candidate because of their relationship.

"Is anyone outside?"

Wei Guangde asked after reading the letter.

"Go back to Master, people are still waiting outside."

Lu Bu said in a low voice.

"You can tell him, yes."

Wei Guangde said to Lu Bu, and immediately picked up the manuscript on the table and started working again.

Lu Bu got Wei Guangde's reply, so he quit the room and went to the front to reply.

It was just that after dismissing the servants in Prince Yu's mansion, Lu Bu didn't turn around and go back to the school record hall, but walked to a street corner food stall, bought some food, and then wandered back to the school record hall.

In the afternoon, in Xiyuan Yongshou Palace.

Emperor Jiajing's face was a little sallow at this time, leaning on the throne, on which was placed a small table, and a note was placed on it.

"Wang Ting was recommended by Xu Jie back then."

Emperor Jiajing was silent for a long time, and finally broke the silence in the palace with his words.

"Yes, because of the famine in Huai'an in the royal court, he and Zhu Gangzuo, the inspector censor, asked to keep the commercial tax for the army's food, and were severely reprimanded by His Majesty's edict.

In the matter, Li Bangyi impeached the royal court because he didn't know how to change it. It was Yan Na, the former official minister who defended the royal court, who was relieved.

Later, it was Xu Jie who recommended him to be Minister of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, and His Majesty agreed. "

Huang Jin on the side hastily told the past of Wang Ting briefly, then bowed his head and said nothing.

"It's a good idea, but it doesn't make sense."

Emperor Jiajing shook his head, sighed and said, "I've been imprisoned for all these years, but I still haven't finished my writing."

Huang Jin knew the meaning of the emperor's words, but he didn't dare to respond, and he didn't even dare to raise his head.

"Who gave the idea? Gao Gong?"

Having said that, Emperor Jiajing shook his head, "This is not his style. If he has such a heart, he must be the one pushing him, not the royal court."

"In the past few days, King Yu called Wei Guangde to Prince Yu's Mansion to discuss matters two days ago. After that, Yin Shizhen went to the Palace every morning and left in the afternoon."

Huang Jin replied.

"It's him, a boy with no foundation, but he is clever, but it's a pity that no one takes him with him."

Emperor Jiajing commented casually: "However, this is also good. If you are not someone's party member, you can still give advice to King Yu wholeheartedly."

"Such a courtier should be the best courtier."

Huang Jin said by accident.

"It's good, but sometimes it's troublesome to use it. There are not many people who can move it around, and there are many constraints in doing things."

Emperor Jiajing said lightly, "It's good to let them learn a lesson, that's all for this matter, when the memorial comes up, they will be criticized directly."

"Your Majesty, how about Mr. Xu Ge?"

Huang Jin hesitated.

"I'm still here. If he doesn't know the rules, don't do it."

Emperor Jiajing said lightly.

Official position is nothing to the emperor.

Whether it is the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet or the Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it is just a matter of imperial decree.

In the six subjects, those who are really ignorant and disobedient have long been sent away by him. Could it be that the emperor really wants to make himself uncomfortable.

"That Hai Rui"

"I don't want to hear this name, and you don't even want to plead for him. Lock him up if you can't interrogate anything."

Huang Jin saw that the emperor seemed to be in a good mood at the moment, so thinking of the recent remarks in the court, he also thought about trying to intercede with Hai Rui.

It's just that Emperor Jiajing seemed to be very concerned about this, and interrupted him directly to deny his meaning.

Huang Jin knew that there was nothing to be done, so naturally he would not take the initiative to make trouble, so he shut up immediately.

Anyway, it's just locked up, and it's not about beheading. As long as people don't die, they still have a chance.

"What official position is Xiao Chunzi now?"

A moment of silence was broken during the Emperor Jiajing's questioning. Huang Jin, who had always been keen, was also a little dazed for a while, unable to understand the meaning of the emperor's words.

"Zhang Shichun."

Emperor Jiajing was a little dazed when he saw Huang Jin raised his head, and reminded him again.

"He is currently the chief inspector of Jinyiwei."

Of course Zhang Shichun knew that he used to be the person in charge of Luanyi who accompanied hundreds of Jinyiwei households.

"I heard that there have been a lot of thieves in the capital recently. Let him be the admiral to supervise the arrests inside and outside the capital. He must be cleared up."

Emperor Jiajing continued.

"According to the order."

Huang Jin quickly replied.

Saying this, I felt a little strange in my heart. In the past, people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate reported these things, and Emperor Jiajing would arrange for people to clean up the gangsters in the market.

Where did the emperor start talking about the generation of thieves and dogs.

However, the emperor had already issued an order, so it was naturally not a problem. Even if the capital was very stable, it must have been unstable before, and Admiral Zhang needed to clean it up.

"The winter solstice is coming soon."

Emperor Jiajing was silent for a while and then said again.

"Yes, the Ministry of Rituals should soon ask for instructions on the arrangements for the Winter Solstice Court Meeting."

Huang Jin bowed and said.

"According to the usual practice in previous years, let the foreman Zhu Xizhong bow down."

This time, Huang Jin didn't reply right away, but kept bowing and continued to wait.

Sure enough, after a while, Emperor Jiajing said again: "Send Bo Yutian Bo Jiang Rong, Peng Cheng Bo Zhang Xiong, Cheng An Bo Guo Yingqian, Qing Ping Bo Wu Jiayan to sacrifice to the Eight Tombs, Dudu Shen to worship Emperor Gong Renkang Dingjing, Zhongguan to sacrifice to Gong Rangzhang Empresses, all command Tongzhi Wangji to worship Empress Xiaojie, Aichong, and Zhuang to respect the tombs of the two princes."

Just when Huang Jin was about to agree, he heard what Emperor Jiajing said next, "Let King Yu go too, and pay homage to his two older brothers."

Huang Jin looked up at Emperor Jiajing in surprise. At this time, Emperor Jiajing had lowered his eyes and seemed to be taking a nap.

The words were still in his ears, Huang Jin just bent down, and then left the hall to convey His Majesty's will outside.

The news of Prince Yu's Mansion is well-informed now, and what happened in the inner court only reached King Yu's ears in the evening, although at this time the decree did not even reach the Rites, he already knew about it.

His father asked him to go out of the city to pay homage to the two prince brothers, so King Yu would naturally not be unwilling.

In fact, the life of the princes of the Ming Dynasty was not good. At least they could not leave the capital without a decree.

It's like a little bird locked in a cage, only when the owner opens the cage to let them out, they have a moment to leave the cage.

But the sky is high and the sea is wide, and they cannot fly freely under the sky.

"How is the father's health?"

King Yu didn't know whether he was thinking of his two elder brothers who had passed away or something else, and the corners of his eyes were slightly red at this moment.

"It's said that the past few days were fine. Although I didn't leave Yongshou Palace, I was still able to walk around in the palace. I haven't left the gate of the palace for two days. It is said that I feel a little tired."

Li Fang replied in a low voice.

Spying on the emperor's body was absolutely taboo, so he was very cautious when answering.

Fortunately, there are only him and King Yu in the room at this time, and there is no one else to wait on him, otherwise he would never dare to answer.

"In addition, His Majesty later sent a note to the cabinet to let the cabinet ministers take turns to enter Zhixiyuan."

The news that should have shocked King Yu, but at this time, there was no change in King Yu's face, as if everything was in his expectation.

However, Li Fang felt a little uneasy in her heart, as if something big was about to happen.

King Yu, today's reaction is too unusual.

It seems that it should not be said today, but during this period of time.

Within two days, the decree spread to King Yu's mansion. After receiving the decree, King Yu immediately arranged for people to prepare the itinerary, and then ordered Tongzhi Wangji to go out to worship.

When they left, Yu Wang just passed a note to Wei Guangde, and left the city with the carriage.

A few days later, King Yu finally completed the worship ceremony and embarked on his way back to the capital.

During this period of time, being able to go out of the city and walk outside the capital made King Yu feel much more relaxed, without the depressing feeling in the capital.

The important task arranged by his father was completed, and King Yu no longer sat in the carriage, but rode a horse, and directly led a group of royal guards to gallop across the countryside.

Is this what Wei Guangde said about the feeling of riding a whip?

very nice.

In fact, there are racecourses in the palace and Prince Yu's mansion where you can run horses, but the feeling of riding a horse outside is really not something you can feel in the palace.

At least, Yu Wang liked this feeling very much.

The convoy gradually approached the capital, and a fast horse came galloping in the distance, and a man dressed as a schoolboy sat on the horse.

Soon, the visitors were stopped far away by the guards of the palace. King Yu was riding a horse here, so naturally he would not let idlers approach.

But soon, the man was brought over by the palace guards.

"Your Highness, the news is from the palace."

The guard took a letter from the man and handed it over, and it was passed to King Yu through the hand of the servant.

When he opened it, King Yu was shocked.

It's only been a few days since I left the capital, and there really is another moth in the capital.

"Hu Yingjia, hehe."

King Yu still read the name in his mouth.

He only knew of such a person a few days ago, but he didn't expect him to run in front of him so soon.

After reading the letter, King Yu put it in his arms directly.

The motorcade in the distance had already caught up, and King Yu waved his hand and said, "Go back."

Immediately, the horse team turned and ran towards the convoy.

In November Yihai of the 45th year of Jiajing, Hu Yingjia and others discussed the impeachment of Gao Gong, a senior scholar, for his infidelity.

At the beginning of the worship, Zhilu was regarded as narrow-minded, and his family was moved outside the gate of Xi'an.

Two words, the emperor has recently violated peace, and all the ministers and workers, big and small, prayed to God for blessings and hoped for Kangning, and the offerings were smuggled straight Lu vessels for use outside.

Half a month ago, Hu Yingjia, Wei Shiliang and other talents impeached Zhang Yongming, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Although the impeachment failed, Zhang Yongming was very angry. After that, he begged for an official post four times to recuperate his illness, and finally Emperor Jiajing agreed to it. .

Although the impeachment failed, it still won, which seemed to strengthen the selfishness of Hu Yingjia and others.

This time, they pointed their finger at the staunch Gao Gong again, accusing him of infidelity since entering Zhizhi, which shocked the government and the public for a while.

Although angry in his heart, Gao Gong could only go home immediately after being impeached, but he fell ill without going home, which was what Erhu wanted.

On the same day at home, he wrote his defense in an eloquent manner and delivered it to the palace.

"My minister was entrusted with the emperor's long grace to enter the cabinet, and he gave the front and back of the straight house four times as the couplets. Some ministers who entered the straight house before their death did not have this, but the minister got it alone. Fang was honored and thought it was an adventure, and Ling Nai said that the minister disliked it. Narrow, unreasonable, because the minister's family is poor and has no children, and there are few healthy servants, but he moved to the nearest place to get food and clothing and serve him for a long time.

The emperor's plan did not allow the ministers to use this to frame the ministers and go out privately. The emperor tried to ask the inner ministers and officials in the forbidden center to see if there were any. It is clear that the ministers in Zhizhi would bring the utensils they used when they met the Zihuang Palace exhibition ceremony, and then moved them back. , Phase rate thought the story.

And Kechen also used this to frame his ministers to move them out, which is especially useless. Today, the ministers use ordinary things to store in Zhifang, and His Majesty will try to test whether they are there.

Ying Jia used to have no complaints against his ministers. Every time he sees his ministers, he is called a great talent. Recently, because Li Dengyun, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, was impeached by Ying Jia, Ying Jia suspected that his ministers hated him, so he took advantage of the time to discuss his ministers. Superficiality can't bear heavy responsibility, if it's just unbearable, it's advisable.

But if you think that the attack is not effective, you will go there, if it is not fruitful, then you will slander and spare no effort. This taboo minister thinks that if you go straight, you will be called a great talent in the past, but now it is considered a non-talented modality and the same reasoning. "

In this regard, Emperor Jiajing did not give them time to continue their criticism, and directly criticized Gao Gong in his defense that "the post remains unchanged".

The impeachment of Hu Yingjia and others finally made Wei Guangde deeply jealous of him.

If you have a dark heart, you will seize the opportunity.
