Chapter 500 499 Arrest Hu Zongxian
The Nanjing Husbandry Case Center Lu Fengyi was the ten major crimes of bullying and greed for the governor of Zhejiang, Hu Zongxian. However, after reading his memorial, Wei Guangde curled his lips and handed the copy to Zhang Juzheng.
See what Lu Fengyi said to Hu Zongxian. Hu Zongxian and the pirate leader Wang Zhi were fellow villagers. Jiangzhou, Chen Keyuan and others who he valued were all spies of pirates. In the Jiangnan suppression of Japanese devils, Hu Zongxian controlled his troops to play with pirates, and
He secretly allowed Wang Zhi to serve as a sea defense official and made an appointment with him to make peace. If the emperor had not been wise and decisive and killed Wang Zhi, the shame would not be eliminated. However, Hu Zongxian thought he had made a contribution and reported to the court. In recent years, he drank and sat in Jiangxi.
Fujian's enemy was overwhelmed and ignored. They invaded military pay and slashed people's wealth. The governor's office accumulated silver like a mountain, gathered evil spirits like friends, and proclaimed excessive sexual intercourse. They took concubines and deducted silver for annual production of cloth and silver for promotion, and offered to the market.
Official positions, private service officers and soldiers. Please punish them more.
Isn’t it just to frame Hu Zongxian for a crime of hooking up with the pirates?
Indeed, Emperor Jiajing had no good impression of the Japanese pirates. If this was confirmed, no other charges needed to be mentioned, which would be enough to kill him, Hu Zongxian ten or eight times.
However, Wei Guangde did not believe that Hu Zongxian and the pirates colluded, or even if it was true, he would leave any evidence.
Wang Zhi has been dead for many years, and it is no longer possible to verify it. What's more, when he was imprisoned Wang Zhi, Wang Zhi did not mention the connection with Hu Zongxian. He kept saying that Hu Zongxian had deceived him.
As for other charges, it is actually not surprising. If you want to impeach an official, you can just list these charges.
Wei Guangde does not have the right to invade military pay, slash people's wealth, and deduct tribute and silver. As for the private service of the government, well, his family has quite a lot.
The people his father sent him were all military-owned sergeants in Jiujiang Guard. In fact, most officials of this era would not have arrested a few sergeants to guard the house and do some hard work.
After Zhang Juzheng finished reading the manuscript and handed it back to Yin Shidan's hand, everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Juzheng.
Before this, Yin Shidan and Wei Guangde had expressed their opinions, only Zhang Juzheng did not speak.
After reading the copy of the impeachment memorial, everyone was very interested in Zhang Juzheng's opinion and didn't know what he would say.
After being looked at by so many people, Zhang Juzheng looked embarrassed and then smiled and said, "Why do you think of me like this? In fact, this matter is not with you and me, not with the cabinet, nor with all the ministers, but with the view.
Your Majesty’s will.”
"hehe."
Hearing Zhang Juzheng say this, Wei Guangde smiled and said, "Of course we know this. We just want to hear my uncle and brother's opinion. Can this happen?"
Because Yin Shidan and Wei Guangde both felt that this was already like this, there was no need to delay. They just made some "slander" in front of Emperor Jiajing, betting that Hu Zongxian did not have the courage to cause trouble and could only surrender. So in fact, their opinions had reached an agreement
.
"Hu Zongxian does not have that ability. Now the Fujian thief suppression army is on the side. If he dares to stab, he will be directly destroyed by the imperial army."
Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said, "Now, Yu Dayou leads Gan, Fujian army, Liu Xian, and Chen Wangmo to command the Fujian army. Although Zhejiang has many soldiers and generals, I don't believe they dare to oppose the court, so I will be the only one for him.
The criminals fight against the court.”
Wei Guangde nodded. Zhang Juzheng had similar understanding to him. At this time, most people were still interested in the court. At most, officials wanted to make more money and take advantage of them.
Rebellion, who would think of that except those bandits who do evil and those who will die in the hands of the government?
The reason why Hu Zongxian is worried that Hu Zongxian will lead the troops to cause chaos is that in recent years, many people have impeached Hu Zongxian for embezzlement of military pay. I believe that there should be many private transactions between him and his subordinates. If there is a handle to fall into Hu Zongxian's hands, these people He may not be subject to Hu Zongxian's siege and has to follow him.
"but."
At this moment, Zhang Juzheng suddenly spit out two words, and hesitated or deliberately did it, but he just didn't continue talking.
"But what?"
Wei Guangde was waiting for Zhang Juzheng's view, and Yin Shidan couldn't help but ask.
"The teacher sent this news, probably to know if the palace is."
At this moment, a little eunuch came in outside and muttered a few times in Li Fang's ear, then Li Fang waved his hand and asked him to go out.
"Your Highness, all the sirs, Xiyuan has just summoned the cabinet Xu, Yuan, and six officials from the cabinet to discuss matters."
After he went out, Li Fang reported the report.
"It should be a discussion on this matter. It seems that His Majesty will make a decision today."
Yin Shidan said.
King Yu nodded and smiled, "Father shouldn't let Hu Zongxian escape this time."
Everyone nodded when they heard this. At the beginning, several big shots were willing to try it slowly and were unwilling to force it too much, so they never touched Hu Zongxian.
It has been half a year now, and some adjustments are still in progress, so naturally I want to seek stability and hope that all parties will complete the arrangements before they attack him.
Now Lu Fengyi is in the lead in impeachment. Although the plan has disrupted, you can take advantage of the situation and follow the trend.
With the general trend in hand, no one believes that Hu Zongxian can cause any other storms.
In fact, the most dangerous time was exactly the time when Yan Song retired. At that time, everyone in the Yan Party was panic, which was the most unpredictable time to do what they would do.
It is basically clear now that most of the Yan Party members were dismissed. Even Yan Shifan, who was designated as the chief evil, was only exiled instead of beheading, so naturally he no longer had his previous worries.
What's more, in Fujian next door to Zhejiang, a brigade of officers and soldiers had just completed the task of suppressing the bandits, and the main force was still repairing and not returning to the base, so I was even less afraid of trouble in Zhejiang.
"Uncle, continue to say, why did Mr. Xu come here for the purpose of?"
Wei Guangde now remembered what Zhang Juzheng hadn't finished saying just now and asked.
Before, because someone came in, Zhang Juzheng shut up his mouth and did not finish his words.
While the conversation was in the Prince Yu's mansion, Emperor Jiajing was also asking the Minister of War Yang Bo and the Fujian and Guangdong army in the Yongshou Palace in Xiyuan.
However, unlike the one in Prince Yu's Mansion, Yang Bo has a better understanding of the distribution of troops in Jiangnan.
"Your Majesty, in addition to the local garrisons in Fujian, the troops of the South Gan area led by Yu Dayou have not yet been withdrawn. The Wolf Army led by General Chen Wangmo is still stationed in the border areas of Fujian and Guangdong. If necessary, the Guangdong army led by the Governor Liu Xian will also be stationed in the Guangdong army led by the Governor Liu Xian. But he went north quickly, but now the troops led by Governor Liu are still encircling and suppressing Japanese pirates along the coast."
Yang Bo briefly introduced the situation of the troops in Fujian, which gave Emperor Jiajing an intuitive understanding of the troops there.
"Let's talk about Lu Fengyi's impeachment of Zong Xian, Zhang Qing and Pan Qing, do you think the matters stated in the memorial should be verified?"
Emperor Jiajing said this, and all the officials in the hall understood in their hearts that the emperor had already tried to dismiss Hu Zongxian, which was similar to what they thought.
Zhang Yongming, Minister of Justice and Paine the left censor of the Censorate, all came out, and bowed to the point.
This is the question of giving away points. First, ask the situation of the troops around Zhejiang, and then ask the minister in charge of punishment whether the investigation should be investigated. If you can't express such a simple attitude, it's better to protect yourself and retire early and go home.
However, Emperor Jiajing's attitude of dismissing Hu Zongxian was clear, but for the cabinet chief Xu Jie and the secondary assistant Yuan Wei, the real war had just begun.
Both of them looked at each other secretly without consciously, and quickly separated after the two eyes touched each other, waiting for the emperor on the imperial throne to speak as if nothing had happened.
The governor of Zhejiang Province, who is in charge of the money and food for the anti-Japanese war in Jiangnan, is not a fatal man.
If Hu Zongxian was dismissed, who would take over? This is a question they have to consider.
"It's not possible to let Master Gao go to Zhejiang."
After Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, King Yu was the first to object.
Now, there are not many officials who can take advantage of the situation in Prince Yu’s Mansion. The Governor Zhejiang Zhi must be at least a third-rank senior official and can be promoted to the next level. If you look closely, among the people who have gone out of Prince Yu’s Mansion, only high can meet the conditions.
One person.
"I just said that the teacher might be the purpose of delivering the message. They should have guessed that His Majesty would take Lu Fengyi's impeachment as an opportunity to defeat Hu Zongxian in one fell swoop, but who will take over?"
Zhang Juzheng said a little aggrievedly. He just made his own analysis, but he didn't expect that he was rejected by King Yu as soon as he finished speaking, and he didn't say anything.
"No wonder, I'm still wondering. For such a thing, Mr. Xu and Lord Gao sent someone to hand over the news."
Wei Guangde really didn't expect this section, but when Zhang Juzheng reminded him, he realized that the love person asked if there was anyone in his pocket to recommend it.
As for Zhang Juzheng's words, it was just an analysis that it was related to the royal palace and could take over as the governor of Zhejiang.
As of now, it seems that only Gao Gong meets the conditions.
"Then send someone to send me a message to Mr. Xu and let him choose. Our Prince Yu Mansion has no recommended candidates."
King Yu also reacted at this time. His attitude was a little too extreme and said hurriedly.
If you ask Gao Gong to Hangzhou, how can that be done? How can he ask Master Gao for advice when something happens?
How far is the capital from Hangzhou? It is thousands of miles away. If you rely on messengers to deliver letters back and forth, you may be cold.
Xiyuan, Yongshou Palace.
"I passed the order and ordered the Jinyiwei to take Hu Zongxian into Beijing to be tried."
Emperor Jiajing on the imperial throne finally made a decision. With Yang Bo's promise, he was no longer worried about any trouble in Zhejiang.
If there is really a brave person, then you will be suppressed together.
"Abide by the order."
Huang Jin, who was on the side, stood up quickly, bowed and replied, then turned around and walked out of the hall, and sent someone to inform the Jinyiwei to go.
The Jinyiwei in the capital city wanted to send the Tiqi to the south, and would also notify the Jinyiwei in Hangzhou to take people through internal transmission channels. After the Jinyiwei in the capital city arrived, it would hand it over and take it to the capital city.
The Jinyiwei people were in a hurry for a while. This was a rare job of arresting officials like the Governor.
"Your Majesty, the Japanese in Jiangnan are still suffering. I will take Hu Zongxian to Beijing and ask for a replacement to ensure that the good situation of Jiangnan suppression of Japanese in Jiangnan is not lost."
Emperor Jiajing ordered the arrest of Hu Zongxian. Based on the position of his colleagues, several ministers in the hall did not praise the emperor's wisdom in unison.
Capturing corrupt officials is also a warning to these ministers. It seems bad to be happy and cheerful at this time.
However, Xu Jie, as the chief assistant, could not remain silent and could only go out to the class to play the song.
Before, Hu Zongxian was the governor of the Japanese suppression, so he went down, but Jiangnan's suppression of Japanese suppression had not stopped yet, so he had to arrange someone to take over as soon as possible.
