Daming talker

Chapter 287

The establishment of the Dengwen Drum certainly has certain positive meanings, but there are many restrictions on reaching the heavens through the Dengwen Drum. Not everyone can come here to complain about anything.

If you do not meet the conditions and continue to beat the drum, you will be severely punished.

For example, civil cases such as marriage, land, fights, etc. are not accepted here in Dengwengu.

Another example is that the original case is only allowed to be filed in Dengwengu after the state and county government rejects it.

Just now, Official Lin made a special trip to Wanping County in the north of the city to complain to the county government, but was rejected by the county government just to meet this condition.

After the petition is submitted, according to today's system, the case must be sent to the emperor the next morning, and then usually handed over to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for handling.

After beating the drum and handing over the handwritten petition, Lin Daguan returned to Wang's house and never came out.

As a result, the entire officialdom of the capital was in a state of panic today. Many officials traveled several miles to go outside the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to watch the scene in person.

Ordinary excitement may cause hundreds of people to gather to watch, but today, hundreds of officials gathered outside the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The previous court had not been so active.

Xin Zixiu, the censor of Zuodu, grabbed Li Rusong, the commander of the patrol camp, by the breast and cursed him in public.

Li Rusong explained again and again: "Lin Tailai has already escaped into the residence of Situ, the King of Hubu. According to the rules, without an imperial edict, we can't break in and take someone!"

The next day was the day of the Sutra feast, but Emperor Wanli would rather listen to the ministers than attend class.

Emperor Wanli arrived at the Wenhua Hall in the morning, and after sitting on the throne, he glanced around the hall and felt that the number of ministers attending the Wenhua Hall today was slightly more than usual.

Generally speaking, during the prelude of the Wenhua Palace, core ministers such as the cabinet, ministries, and governor's office are always present, while other ministers usually come only when they have something to do.

It can be seen from the number of people today that something must have happened, and most of the extra people are Yanguan.

Emperor Wanli only wanted to say to this, I hope these people are not here to remonstrate with Yan Jin for the sake of performance.

Xin Zixiu, the imperial censor of Zuodu, came forward and said: "The Imperial Procuratorate was ordered to inspect the martial arts examination room and yesterday summoned relevant personnel for questioning.

But some people openly resisted arrest, beat dozens of jailers in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, broke open the door and fled, which is really shocking! "

You can tell from his tone how angry Mr. Xin is. If he hadn't been concerned about the crime of disrespecting the emperor, he would have started to curse.

"Hey!" Suddenly, an uncontrollable chuckle came from the throne.

Xin Zongxian: "."

As an emperor who has received professional training since he was a child, he can generally keep his emotions and angers a secret unless he can't help it.

Unexpectedly, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, known as a hornet's nest, would be stabbed in this way.

Seeing the Zuodu Yushi who was losing control of his emotions, Emperor Wanli quickly went back to make amends: "I just thought that this person must be Lin Tailai?"

Xin Zongxian felt that he was speechless and said in a low voice: "Fang Wanshan, the censor in charge, was ordered to inspect the examination room and investigate Lin Tailai's illegal activities. Fang Wanshan can report it."

This mode of political fighting has become popular in recent years. The boss often does not speak directly, leaving his own censor to be responsible for firing the shots.Of course, water has no permanent shape and conditions vary.

Fang Yushi came out from behind and said: "I have been ordered to find out that Lin Tailai was favored in the examination room and Zheng Guotai was unfairly treated."
Lin Tailai was extremely vicious, often using force to break the rules, repeatedly committing abuses wantonly, and corrupting discipline everywhere. He is still at large to this day. "

Ministers with some experience can tell that Fang Yushi deliberately emphasized Zheng Guotai, which was definitely a deliberate move, hoping to guide the emperor's emotions.

Fang Yushi didn't care about being seen by others. His main goal was to induce the emperor to "help relatives but not take care of others."

Besides, Zheng Guotai has not done any evil deeds now. If he can help Zheng Guotai from a fair standpoint and say a few words, it will not trigger any public backlash.

Hearing the word "at large", Emperor Wanli asked: "Why not take someone?"

Fang Yushi was overjoyed and waited for this sentence, and quickly said: "Lin Tailai was hiding in the home of Taicang Wang Zhiyuan, the left minister of the household department and the governor, and was protected by him.

Previously, Li Rusong, the commander of the patrol camp, came to ask for people twice, but Wang Zhiyuan refused to hand them over. "

Emperor Wanli looked at his chief minister in surprise, "Isn't Lin Tailai a disciple of Mr. Shen?"

Shen Shixing said: "Lin Tailai has left the Shen family for the sake of the Wang family's daughter."

Emperor Wanli was speechless, and the imperial circle was in chaos. He asked Zhang Jiayin, the Minister of War, "The imperial censor reported that Zheng Guotai suffered injustice. What does the Ministry of War, who presided over the military examination, think?"

Zhang Jiayin was also angry. If the emperor finally listened to the report from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and found out that the examination room was unfair, then he, the nominal examiner, would be held responsible for it!

It's understandable that you, the Qingliu forces, want to compete for the position of Minister of Household Affairs and use Lin Tailai to get Wang Zhiyuan, but what does it mean to drag Zhang Jiayin into the water?
Do you still want to hunt down rabbits and win back a minister of the Ministry of War?
With such a big appetite, I am not afraid of being full!

Therefore, Zhang Jiayin said angrily: "It is unbelievable that a foreign censor directly interferes in the examination and instructs the examiner on how to grade based on subjective suspicion!
Could it be that in the liberal arts examination room, a censor could break into the Gongyuan and directly instruct the examiner how to judge the paper? "

Fang Yushi was also helpless. In fact, he had no intention of targeting Zhang Jiayin.

However, in order to deal with Lin Tailai and use Zheng Guotai to guide the emperor's emotions, he had to come up with the theory that "Zheng Guotai was unfairly treated in the examination room".

He also explained to the emperor: "The theory of injustice in the examination room is not caused by me making trouble out of nothing, but by the examinees and the instructors who evaluated the exam together, so I had to investigate."

At present, Lin Tailai's crime is clear and the impact is extremely bad!We should cut through the mess with a sharp sword, ask questions with the force of thunder, and quickly calm down the martial arts test storm! "

If the emperor personally ordered the arrest, then the Jinyiwei Official School would be dispatched to imprison the emperor in "imperial prison".

Unless they want to rebel, no one in Ming Dynasty dares to openly resist, not even Lin Tailai!

In the court hall, Lin Tailai knew two big bosses. Wang Zhiyuan was still at home behind closed doors to thank guests, and only the chief minister, Shen Shixing, was standing here.

At this time, everyone subconsciously looked at Shen Shoufu. Logically speaking, Shen Shoufu should come out to intercede.

But what was unexpected was that Shen Shoufu looked at his eyes, nose and heart, like a sculpture without saying a word.

Everyone's first reaction was, has Lin Tailai really become the abandoned son of the chief minister?
Lin Tailai has caused too much trouble, and the chief assistant can't bear it anymore?When the emperor and his ministers play against each other, the pattern is like this. The civil servant closest to the emperor's left is the cabinet scholar, and the military official closest to the emperor's right is the imperial guard.

At this time, someone from the Jinyi Guards stood up and said with a somewhat helpless tone: "Lin Tailai beat the drum yesterday to express his grievances."

Originally, trivial matters like hearing the drum report were usually left to the end of the court meeting between the monarch and his ministers.

But today the Metropolitan Procuratorate came up to bite Lin Tailai. Looking at the situation, if they don't come out to report Lin Tailai's beating of the Dengwen drum, it will affect the emperor's judgment.

According to the system, the emperor must know the contents of the grievances.At this time, when he heard Lin Tailai playing drums to express his grievances, he asked the imperial guard to read the petition.

At any time, a basic principle in judging a case is that both the plaintiff and the defendant must listen to their statements.

The imperial guard held the petition submitted by Lin Tailai and read it expressionlessly:

"I, Lin Tailai, cried and cried and complained. I am a commoner, and I farmed in Gusu, and I am still alive. Oh no, I grew up under the emperor's grace and bathed in the spring breeze."

Everyone can only say that these two sentences are interesting, but they don't look like they could be written by a 19-year-old. Could it be that a lawyer was hired to ghostwrite them?
The royal guard continued to read: "I have acquired literary and martial arts in the past 18 years. I want to use this to serve the country and glorify my ancestors.

Recently, I rushed to Beijing to participate in the martial arts test, but unexpectedly I competed with my uncle, which caused countless waves. "

Hearing this, many ministers smiled contemptuously. Lin Tailai was really a layman.

In folk parlance, it is true that the concubine's brother is often called Guojiu, and at the same time, people also often use Guojiu as an honorific title for the concubine's brother in verbal address.

But those are private names and do not conform to official etiquette.Only the brothers of the Queen and the Queen Mother are officially recognized as uncles.

In formal documents, it is really disrespectful to use "uncle" to address the imperial concubine's brother.

If Lin Tailai was an official and this petition was a formal memorial, Lin Tailai would be punished based on this title.

No joke, if you make mistakes in the memorial to the emperor, you will really be punished, and the worst case can lead to dismissal from office.

Regardless of anything else, the royal guard only serves as a tool for reading the pleadings:
"My minister and my uncle were competing for the first place. The three games were very tense and the situation was tense. I didn't want my uncle to be popular among the people, so the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate stepped forward to support my uncle in winning the first place."

This part of the petition was about a country uncle, and it was full of rustic vibes. It really made everyone speechless, but they could only listen first.

Otherwise, some people say that things written by laymen are poisonous in the eyes of experts.

However, Emperor Wanli and his ministers had somewhat different ideas. This visit to an uncle made the emperor feel a little wandering.

The guard in brocade clothes was still reading: "I am a small citizen from the south of the Yangtze River. I have been a poor peasant for eight generations, and my family has only four walls.

Now, first I encountered the struggle between my uncle and the imperial uncle, and then I encountered the suppression by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I have never seen such a world situation. I feel trembling in my heart and feel uneasy all day long.

I am anxious all night long, unable to sleep, and often have random thoughts after tossing and turning.

When I think about it, the Metropolitan Procuratorate probably thinks that as a relative of the emperor, my uncle has no official position and is very pitiful. He should have been given a title. "

Everyone just felt that the words were filled with the atmosphere of ignorant small farmers, just like the conjecture of "the emperor's golden axe".

Anyone with a little bit of life experience would not think that the Metropolitan Procuratorate helped his uncle to compete for the first place in the martial arts test because he felt sorry for his uncle and had no official position, right?
Are you, Lin Tailai, here to liven up the atmosphere?Are all your talents focused on muscles?

If I hadn't been standing in the Wenhua Hall, I would have burst into laughter!

Only Shen Shoufu lowered his head, gritted his teeth tightly, and his face kept twitching, as if he was trying desperately to control some emotion.

To this day, most people still don't know who manipulated Shen Shoufu to instantly kill Li Zhi and other Red Party members, and severely injure the Admiral of Dongchang.

The imperial guard had almost read to the end: "Facing the Imperial Procuratorate and the Imperial Uncle, there is no one in the court to distinguish between me and me. Except for my bravery, I really have nothing to rely on, and I feel deeply lonely and helpless.

And because I was really unwilling to be tied to the hands of others, and also unwilling to be ranked lower than my uncle, I had no choice but to hand myself over to His Majesty for punishment!

I beg your Majesty, your Majesty must not obey the wishes of the Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and add the title of uncle at will, blocking the way for the world's warriors to enter the ranks!

If your Majesty does not want to abandon public service for personal reasons, can you give me an opportunity to compete face-to-face with my uncle to determine the first place in the martial arts test? "

After listening to the petition, most people felt that it was childish and ridiculous.

Are you still competing face to face for first place?Do you think this is a competition in a novel?

At this time, Emperor Wanli on the throne sighed: "This is the heart of an innocent child!"

Everyone: "???"

What is the emperor's brain circuit?Who knows?

There are some ideas that have been brewing for several months. Emperor Wanli feels that he can finally take the opportunity to express them. Thanks to Lin Tailai for his guidance in the petition!
Then the emperor said to Xin Zixiu and Fang Wanshan: "I already know the intention of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to protect Zheng Guotai, and we should indeed be sealed."

Xin Zixiu and Fang Wanshan looked at each other, what did the emperor mean?
After Emperor Wanli pondered for a moment, he said: "The Zheng family in the harem has made great achievements in educating people, is virtuous and virtuous, and has many good deeds. She should be made the imperial concubine.

Zheng's father was appointed as the governor and Tongzhi, and his brother Zheng Guotai was appointed as the commander. "

Damn it!The ministers all lost their countenance!
The emperor's words were like a thunderous thunder, exploding in the Wenhua Palace!
Who among those who can stand here does not understand etiquette?
The mother of the eldest son of the candidate prince is just an ordinary concubine, but the mother of the third prince, Zheng, can go beyond two levels and become an imperial concubine?
Such a reward is definitely an inversion of Tsunade, but the emperor is not a fool who doesn't understand the world!
Therefore, the emperor's intention is obvious, that is, he ignores the eldest son and wants to make the third son the prince!
This is also an extremely violation of etiquette and law and is unacceptable!
Children all know that the eldest son should be the one who inherits the family business!
Faced with the sudden situation, while the ministers were still shocked, Emperor Wanli said to Fang Wanshan:
"Thankfully, you and other officials have reminded me that my kindness to the Zheng family is not enough."

Fang Yushi immediately sweated like rain. He knew that as long as he dared to say a word of approval, he would immediately be criticized and explode on the spot!
The two words "ethics and education" are as important as politics, and they are definitely not something to laugh at!
After the ministers came to their senses, they immediately understood that the emperor was pretending to be stupid!
After listening to Lin Tailai's memorial, the emperor began to act stupid!
"Your Majesty! You must not grant a reward like this!" Fang Wanshan knelt down and shouted: "How can the Zheng family usurp the emperor's eldest son's biological mother? If you want to add the Zheng family to the emperor's eldest son's biological mother, please first add the emperor's eldest son's biological mother!"

Emperor Wanli's expression changed instantly, and he became a little cold. Then he turned to Xin Zixiu, the censor of Zuodu: "What do you think?"

Xin Zixiu took a deep breath and replied: "I think we should not grant the title of Zheng family without permission, so as not to disturb the rules and regulations."

"Very good." Emperor Wanli said calmly: "Anyone who complains about Zheng Guotai is actually a hypocrite."
