Chapter 564 563 Confession

Lu Bu was the spy of the Jinyiwei. Wei Guangde had long been suspicious, but he had never had the idea of ​​him.

Anyway, I don’t want to rebel, so why bother with him? It’s better to leave some suspicion for the palace to reassure them.

Wei Guangde only needs to pay attention to his words and deeds in front of Lu Bu, as long as he does not say any excessive remarks.

Therefore, it is not a bad thing to leave behind a person who is not known as the Jinyiwei or the Dongchang factory. At least Emperor Jiajing would know that he has been recording the "Yongle Encyclopedia" during this period, and it is also a credit for whether it is big or small.

When Yan Shifan was arrested, the Ministry of Justice was busy and began to interrogate Yan Shifan, Luo Longwen and others on many occasions.

However, a group of old scholars focused on the interrogation of Yan Song's personal revenge during his reign, cracking down on upright officials and slandering the court impeached by Lin Run, and the private placement intentions to rebel were resolved one by one by one by Yan Shifan, who was prepared.

Yan Shifan admitted that the so-called private revenge and crackdown on officials who opposed Yan Song was a bachelor, and that it was indeed his own, including using frame-up and other means, which directly led to the unjust death of Yang Jisheng and Shen Lianhan.

As for slandering the court, he firmly refused to admit it. Private equity is naturally a parent-employed worker. Yan Shifan did not deny the fact that he bought land widely. With so much land, he naturally needed to summon more workers to help farm.

The interrogation from the Ministry of Justice attracted the attention of many people in the court at the beginning. However, when Wanping and Daxing counties joined hands with the instructors of the school and the Daji students Yu Minglun Hall to investigate the falsehood, everyone's eyes turned to Xu Du, the censor of the Tixue, because this matter was inseparable from him.

But Xu himself was actually involuntarily.

Since he returned to Beijing from the Yan Yan Censor to serve as the Censor of the Examination, he has received many reports of many students in Wanda County who have faked their registration and took the exam. He has since discussed the left censor Zhang Yongming.

This time, because a large number of Beijing officials had to be arranged to go to foreign affairs, we naturally found a large number of old accounts accumulated over the years to revise them. The falsehood of teachers and students in the capital was also mentioned by Zhang Yongming of the Censorate, and the Ministry of Natural Science also included the matter within the scope of disposal.

As this happened, the reason why Xu Yu, the censor, was improperly dealt with it. However, after all, the fake scholar was guilty and deliberately added fuel to the fire to create the illusion that all living beings were bullied by court officials.

However, this caused a fierce conflict between the officers and the officers, which ultimately resulted in mishandling.

At this time, although most of the strict party members in the capital were assigned to heterodyne, the remaining Beijing officials were not a solid piece of law after all.

Although Xu Jie and Yuan Wei are powerful, they think about how powerful the government and the people were invaded during Yan Song's administration, but officials still impeached one after another. It can be seen that the strength of the third corps, mainly the Qingliu in the court, still exists.

Their existence is also the help of the imperial court to correct its roots.

When the cabinet was working with the Ministry of Rites and the Censorate of the Censorate discussed how to deal with this matter, He Qiming, the head of the Lexicon, had already submitted a memorial to impeach the Censor Xu, who impeached him for false learning and had long lost his heart.

Xu Jie was in the cabinet at this time and handed over He Qiming's memorial to Yuan Wei.

"Injuring the student Ren Ziyu and others is a problem after all. It would be fine if he was a fake scholar, but he was a young man who was encouraged."

For them, the ones they hate the most are this kind of person.

It's not your business, but he thinks he is a stubborn person and takes the lead in rushing to take on the job. His purpose is just to save his captured classmates. He is so pedantic that he has no ability to distinguish between good and evil.

"Xu Yu was present at that time and it was really difficult to deal with it inappropriately. I'd better ask His Majesty to judge."

After reading the memorial, Yuan Wei handed it to Zhang Yongming. After all, he was from the Censorate and proposed the cabinet handling opinions, but he still had to listen to the attitude there first.

"When I came, I met Shangshu Li, and he also said that the Ministry of Rites would not hold him accountable for the inappropriate mistakes in this matter, and it will be for the court after all."

After roughly reading the content of He Qiming's impeachment, Zhang Yongming felt relieved. He thought that Emperor Jiajing would at most criticize Xu Yu, and there was nothing wrong with it.

As long as Xu Xu could take a step back at that time, not let the situation worsen in front of Minglun Hall, he would arrest the fake scholar later, and avoid this bloody conflict.

When Xu Jie heard this, he just glanced at Zhang Yongming and then remained silent.

In fact, this kind of thing is not big or small.

If the trouble arises, it is really possible that the court will lose the hearts of scholars. This is a major event that shakes the foundation of the country.

It sounds illusory, but in this society, it really only takes this trick.

In fact, the so-called heart of a scholar, which seems inconspicuous, is what later generations call the heart of the people.

In the eyes of scholars, that is, their fellow talents deserve to be called the people.

The people’s hearts are actually the hearts of scholars.

If you have the truth, there are many helpers, but if you lose the truth, there are few helpers. This matter was originally correct, but it involves the people's hearts, so I am afraid it will not be so simple to deal with it.

"When you go back, tell Xu Yu and write a self-defense confession as soon as possible. This matter cannot be delayed. You must cut the mess quickly as soon as possible."

Xu Jie said to Zhang Yongming.

Zhang Yongming understood, and he also understood that this was amazing, but he felt that there would be no punishment, and the reprimand was the biggest punishment.

The Prince Yu's Mansion naturally knew about this kind of thing, but this matter did not catch the eye of King Yu and would not attract the attention of Wei Guangde, Zhang Juzheng and others. He had no idea and just let the court deal with it.

However, when Xu Du impeached He Qiming as an evil party, Wei Guangde took it out and had a good time with Zhang Juzheng.

"That's the Xu Yu. Just report the incident in detail. Your Majesty can naturally distinguish right from wrong. Unexpectedly, he said that He Qiming was an evil party and directly escalated the incident into a dispute between mind and Neo-Confucianism."

Zhang Juzheng said happily.

In fact, whether it is him or Wei Guangde, he has read the study of mind and Neo-Confucianism, but he will never say that he is from that school. They are more practical.

If it is beneficial to the current situation, their identities may be changed back and forth between the two factions, so why do you have to compete for the best or worse?

But, this kind of thinking of competing for the long and short periods is the correct solution that most people understand and support among scholars in this era.

"Xu is not very useful."

Wei Guangde laughed softly.

He couldn't see the situation clearly and spoke randomly, so did Zhang Yongming. Why did he find such a thing? No wonder Xu Yu overthrew Yan Maoqing's salt administration reform and demanded that the original state be restored, which directly reduced the court's income by one million taels of silver.

"There are many pedantic people in Neo-Confucianism."

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and commented, "No wonder his mind is prosperous now."

Xu Yu's self-defense undoubtedly made the situation in the court and in the country tense again.

The court itself was divided into clear streams and turbid streams. After the study of the mind, the official faction added the Neo-School School and the Mind School, which was already extremely complicated. The battle between He Qiming and Xu Yu was about to be on the verge of the heart. If the struggle between the two factions of Mind is transitioning, if it really develops to that point, the court will inevitably lose control.

However, Emperor Jiajing, who likes to watch court officials fight the most, was abnormal this time. He did not hang up the matter first and let the court officials fight, but issued an order the next day.

"Qi Ming's impeachment is rash, and the disputes are divided. They are not censors, and each of them takes away their salary for two months."

Among the troubles, forty-three years of Jiajing have passed.

In the first month of the 44th year of Jiajing, Zhu Xizhong, Duke of Chengguo, performed a ceremony to worship the heavens in Xuanji Temple. He did not have the imperial palace. All civil and military officials and officials and court officials went to Huangji Gate to perform five or three bowing ceremony. All officials expressed congratulations, were exempted from banquets, and were given money for festivals.

Wei Guangde felt that he had never seen the Grand Chamber since he entered the officialdom, and it seemed that he could only wait until King Yu ascended the throne to the throne before he was fortunate to see that big scene.

However, half a month has passed, and no news has been passed into the capital that Gao Gong mentioned, which inevitably made Wei Guangde a little confused. Has the situation changed?

However, at this time, the Ministry of Justice had already prepared Yan Shifan's crimes and was about to report to the West Garden when Xu Jie and Prince Yu's mansion were about to take a look.

Wei Guangde was urgently recalled to the royal palace by King Yu again. Before, King Yu asked Wei Guangde to go to the Ministry of Justice more often but he found reasons to shirk it. He was worried that this incident would be heard by Emperor Jiajing of Xiyuan and cause trouble.

King Yu also understood the truth, so he nodded and recognized what he said.

But now the royal palace has received the crimes compiled by the Ministry of Justice, so this matter cannot be widely publicized. Huang Guangsheng, the Minister of Justice, only copied two copies and sent them to the cabinet Xu Jiechu and Prince Yu's Mansion.

Wei Guangde frowned when he took the crime from Li Fang. What are the words?

Old accounts, unjust killing Yang Jisheng, and Shen Lian are all listed. Does Huang Guangsheng think his neck is harder than a knife?

There was almost no case of Yan Shifan's intention to rebel in the entire crime, but all the evil things he did to gain power. Many of the key things were actually nodded and agreed by Emperor Jiajing.

Just talking about Yang Jisheng, Emperor Jiajing may know, or maybe he doesn't know, but he did not investigate after the incident. He may have had a premonition on this matter, otherwise he would not have been allowed to stay in the imperial prison for two years.

Yan Shifan admitted that he had bribed the prison guards to torture him and forced him to die. It seemed to be a serious crime, but it also depends on how deep it was involved in Emperor Jiajing.

If Yang Jisheng's death was really the nod of Emperor Jiajing, the Yan family actually did it according to the order. Now let's talk about it, isn't it a slap Emperor Jiajing in the face?

"Your Highness, this crime is not good."

Wei Guangde shook his head and said after reading it.

“Why?”

Of course, King Yu read it, and he empathized with the evidence of the traitors and treacherous ones listed among them.

Just ask someone, who doesn’t say that Yan Shifan is a treacherous and treacherous minister?

"The Yan Party cannot be convicted of being a 'traitor', otherwise the crime will come to His Majesty, and the matter will be left unresolved. It is said that Huang Shangshu and the others will still have to be punished."

Wei Guangde replied, and then he told King Yu in detail some doubts about Yang Jisheng's death.

Of course, the point is that it is impossible to verify, Emperor Jiajing's attitude towards this matter.

"How can you say that?"

After hearing Wei Guangde's words, King Yu was a little disbelief.

"Your Highness, regardless of whether Your Majesty was deceived or otherwise, this matter was reversed by them, it was undoubtedly saying that Your Majesty was wrong in the first place, which was an embarrassing thing to Your Majesty.

Even if His Majesty knew that he had made the wrong decision at the beginning, he would never admit it now.

His mistake can only be corrected by your highness."

Finally, Wei Guangde said to King Yu softly, "I think this matter will inevitably be mentioned in the will, so that you can correct the situation and give Your Highness a chance to clean up people's hearts."

"this"

King Yu didn't know what to say for a moment. He wanted to say that Wei Guangde was right, but he always felt that there was a conflict with what he learned and that his thoughts could not be turned around. But if he said it was wrong, he would not dare to gamble.

This matter is quite serious. It is related to the major affairs of the future court. He will never tolerate Yan Shifan coming out of the Ministry of Justice.
