The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 93 Benefiting the Country and the People (Fifth Change)

The next day, in front of Fengtian Gate.

When Chang Feng used to be the Great Han General of the Eastern Palace, he could bring a golden melon with him to participate in the imperial gate early court.

Now he has been promoted to the fifth-rank thousand households of Jinyiwei, but he has lost the qualification of the early dynasty.

Those who are eligible to participate in the early dynasty are civil officials of the sixth rank and above in Beijing; the censors or officials of the seventh rank; generals of the fourth rank and above; nobles.

Changfeng is not included in this list.

But today he got a special decree from Emperor Hongzhi and came to Fengtian Gate.Standing at the end of the military attache class.

Other civil servants and generals all held wat boards in their hands.Chang Feng's hands are empty.There is a bookcase on the back.

The civil servants and military generals all looked at him curiously: Isn't this the Jinyiwei Qianhu who stole the limelight when Eunuch Wynn returned to Beijing?
Why do you come to court with a box of books on your back?Could it be that he came to offer a book to the emperor?

No, how can Jinyiwei Qianhu have the qualifications to go to court?
Not long after, Emperor Hongzhi, accompanied by Huai En, came to the courtyard in front of Fengtian Gate.

Wynn shouted at the top of his voice, "Yi!"

During the Chenghua Dynasty, Wan An was famous for pretending to be dumb in the early court and only shouting "Long Live".

But in the Hongzhi Dynasty, he pretended to be positive.

Wan An was the first to report to the emperor: "I have reported to the emperor that the minister believed that the imperial concubine Wan had bewitched the first emperor in the previous dynasty, disrupted the harem, and interfered in the government. She should be investigated for her crime and her posthumous title should be removed."

Wan An is submitting a certificate to Emperor Hongzhi: We, Wan Wan, know that your Majesty hates Concubine Wan Gui the most.Your own mother was killed by Concubine Wan Gui.

As the chief assistant of the cabinet, our Lao Wan took the initiative to hand you a knife for revenge.You have to accept this love, right?Look at this first assistant position. How many more years or ten years will we be allowed to sit here?
"Long Live Pavilion Elder" never expected it.What Emperor Hongzhi wanted to punish today was not the dead Concubine Wan Gui, but the living Wan An!
Emperor Hongzhi sneered: "Yes! The sinners of the previous dynasty will indeed be held accountable by this court!"

"Misters, do you know who the number one criminal in the previous dynasty was?"

All the ministers chattered.

Wan An said: "Of course it is Concubine Wan Gui!"

Liu Ji said: "It should be Shang Ming."

Some of the other ministers said it was Wantong, some said it was Wang Zhi, and some said it was Liang Fang.

Emperor Hongzhi said sternly: "Masters! You are all wrong! The number one sinner in the previous dynasty was not the dead Concubine Wan Gui. It was not Shang Ming, Wang Zhi, and Liang Fang who were allotted to Nanjing."

"It's not Wantong who was sent back to his hometown!"

"The first sinner is far away in the sky and close in front of us. It is Wan An, the chief assistant of the cabinet!"

Wan An was dumbfounded.

A group of civil servants and generals looked at each other in blank dismay. .

Emperor Hongzhi said loudly: "Where is the constant wind in Jinyiwei's thousands of households? Come to Guangting!"

Chang Feng carried the bookcase on his back and walked up to the civil servants and generals.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Open the bookcase."

Chang Feng opened the bookcase.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Masters, do you know what books are in this book box? I can't even tell you! Chang Feng, tell you!"

Chang Feng said loudly: "There are a total of 26 books here. Each of them is a book dedicated to the late Emperor by Chief Assistant Wan Anjin!"

"Every obscenity book is extremely obscene!"

"A lowly official, with a humble position. But I still want to say something boldly. The early death of the late emperor at the age of 41 may have something to do with Wan'an's admission of love letters!"

Chang Feng is actually quite bold.He directly put the big hat of "killing the first emperor" on the chief assistant of the current dynasty.

Wan An's subconscious sophistry: "It's not me"

Chang Feng said: "Wan Shoufu wants to say that the Meishu is not from you? On every Meishu, there are four small letters with the Chinese characters 'Chen Wan Anjin'!"

"The font is round and full, who else can have such a handwriting except Wan Shoufu?"

There are 26 "Chen Wananjin" there.Wan An couldn't deny it.

He used the great method of muddling through the customs that he had practiced in the cabinet for more than ten years!He fell to his knees and kowtowed "bang bang bang".Shouted: "The minister is guilty! The minister is guilty! Long live the emperor!"

Emperor Hongzhi said loudly: "Wan An, raise your head!"

Wan An looked up.

Emperor Hongzhi pointed to the box of charming books: "Should this be done by the minister?"

The implication of Emperor Hongzhi's words is obvious: Lao Wan, you are not worthy of being a courtier.Take the initiative to plead guilty!Please resign from office.Get out of the capital honestly.

Wan An was unmoved, and still just kowtowed: "I am guilty, I am guilty. Long live the emperor!"

Just don't say ask for dismissal.

Emperor Hongzhi ordered Chang Feng: "Chang Feng, pass on these flattering books to all the ministers!"

Chang Feng distributed the letter of love to a group of civil servants and generals.

Civil servants and military generals burst into exclamation: "Ah! My eyes are really dirty!"

"Don't look at injustice! As Chang Qianhu said, these books are the most obscene and evil!"

It doesn't matter whether these officials are full of male robbers and female prostitutes.At least they have to be polite and honest.

They began to impeach Wan An face to face.

"Wan An wrote a letter of flattery to the late emperor. He is the real troublemaker in the court! He should be dismissed and handed over to the Tribunal for deliberation!"

"Wan An is not worthy of the position of chief assistant! Please punish him!"

"Whoa! Wan'an is simply a disgrace among the scholars who came from the top two rankings! I don't even bother to be with him!"

Public opinion in the early court has become one-sided.

Emperor Hongzhi believed that if Wan An showed some face, he would ask for his dismissal.

However, Emperor Hongzhi far underestimated Wan An's shamelessness!
Now that it's all over, Wan An still imagines that he can keep the position of chief assistant!
Wan An shouted: "I am guilty! I ask for a one-year fine, oh no, three years! To atone for my sins!"

As soon as Wan An said this.Emperor Hongzhi was dumbfounded, Huai En was dumbfounded, Chang Feng was dumbfounded, and all civil and military officials in the court were dumbfounded!
Presenting flattering letters to the late emperor indirectly killed the late emperor.For such a serious crime, he actually wanted to punish him with some salary?
This is another trick of Wan'an's trick in the court: receive with a small stick, walk with a big stick.

This person is a bitch.
Wynn finally couldn't bear Wan An's shamelessness!
A famous historical scene is staged!

Regardless of the early court etiquette, Wynn walked straight from Emperor Hongzhi to Wan'an.

He directly tore off Wan An's wat board, and roared: "Wan An, are you still going?"

The wat board is a tool for officials of the Ming Dynasty to meet the emperor when they participated in the Yumen early court.

It has three functions.The first function: to record what the emperor said.

The second role: etiquette.

The third role is also the most important one: it represents the identity of an official.

Huai'en tore off Wan'an's wat board, which was equivalent to Yuezu's replacement, and replaced Wan'an's chief assistant for Emperor Hongzhi.

Wynn lowered his voice and said a word: "To be an official or to be killed. Wanan, you choose yourself."

Wan An was stunned when he heard this.He finally realized that this time he might not be able to prevaricate.

In an instant, he made up his mind: compared with fate, power is not so important.What's more, in today's situation, it is impossible to keep power?
Thinking of this, Wan An kowtowed again: "I ask you to resign from all official positions."

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't wait to end this morning's farce: "Wan'an is guilty of offering flattering letters. But I read that he has been the head of the cabinet for more than ten years, and he has worked a little hard. I will give him an official post and return to his hometown. Dismiss the court!"

Emperor Hongzhi was only the official of Wan'an.This is the same reason why he forgave the three brothers of the Wan family.

There are too many officials under Wan'an.There are mediocre officials and there are virtuous officials.

If Wan An is really handed over to the San Judicial Division for punishment.It is inevitable to pull out the radish and bring out the mud.As a result, Emperor Hongzhi could no longer use those virtuous officials.

Besides, Wan'an has nothing but the evil of eating vegetarian food in the corpse and meeting the king.There is no mortal sin.

If you lie flat and touch fish, you will also be beheaded.I'm afraid that [-]% of the officials in Ming Dynasty will lose their heads.

According to historical records, "In the 23rd year of Chenghua, Ge Kui Wan'an was forced to resign because of his art in the house."

Morning is over.The rising sun shines on the red walls and yellow tiles of the Forbidden City.

Chang Feng watched as Wan An was walked out of the palace supported by two big Han generals.

The biggest mediocre official in the court was forced to resign, which marked the end of an old era and the coming of a new era.

Chang Feng can also be regarded as doing his part for the arrival of this brand new era.

Wynn walked up to Chang Feng and praised, "Dasun. Your luck is frighteningly good."

"I won't talk about the achievements I made for the emperor before. I went to the palace yesterday and made four great achievements."

"The first great achievement is to find the evidence of the incriminating book. Force mediocrity to become an official. It benefits the country and the people."

"The second great achievement is to find the couplets of King Tanli. It is always unlucky for King Tanli's couplets to be hidden in the Qianqing Palace."

"The third great achievement is to find the relic of Empress Dowager Ji. It may be the only relic of Empress Dowager Ji that the emperor owns today."

"The fourth great achievement is to find the longevity lock worn by the emperor for a hundred days. It is a very auspicious thing!"

"People often say 'too red to be purple'. In my opinion, you are so red now, grandson!"

Chang Fengfeng said sincerely: "Grandfather, you have said so much. There are only four words that I value most."

Wynn asked, "Which four words?"

Chang Feng replied: "Benefit the country and the people!"
