Chapter 105: The crime of deceiving the king
In the eyes of Emperor Tianqi, these Hanlins all criticized Zhang Jingyi, which was obviously selfish.
Emperor Aoki has seen a lot of this situation.
But now everyone is convinced, but Emperor Tianqi is unsure.
He also knew very well that Zhang Jingyi was a military officer and was still young. He would definitely have many problems in managing the party.
It is too easy for ministers to pick on tricks.
Now everyone is in a state of anger, and Emperor Aoki feels helpless.
At this time of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor actually didn't do much, but he just said something on the surface. Otherwise, Emperor Tianqi would not indulge Wei Zhongxian and directly started to punish him.
But like Wei Zhongxian and Donglin people directly confronted each other, and even took the most violent means, this kind of thing was scolded by the people of the world after one thing was done. After all... Even Emperor Tianqi knew that the hearts of the people of the world were in Donglin, not him and Wei Zhongxian.
For things like winning people's hearts, whether it is the emperor or the eunuch, they are all brides.
Otherwise, where did all kinds of rumors about mocking the emperor come from?
When people mention the ministers who fought against Wei Zhongxian and died tragically, no one of them was sighing for it.
Now... it has reappeared again, but this time, the goal has become a mere hundred households.
The more the emperor refused to give in, the more such confrontational sentiment would spread, and Zhang Jingyi would become the target of public criticism.
Emperor Aoki was very clear about this.
But... when someone stood up, Emperor Aoki seemed very surprised.
Because it was Sun Chengzong who stood up.
This is the person that Emperor Apocalypse respects the most.
Moreover, unlike those people around Emperor Tianqi, Sun Chengzong is a strong person. When the people in the world mention him, there is nothing they don’t admire. Even Qingliu is definitely not good at saying bad things about him.
To put it bluntly, Sun Chengzong has credibility.
At this time, everyone saw Sun Chengzong slowly walking to the Wenhua Hall.
Sun Chengzong saluted Emperor Tianqi first and said, "Old minister... I have seen Your Majesty."
Emperor Tianqi smiled: "Master Sun is exempt from gifts."
Sun Chengzong nodded and said, "The old minister is just a commoner, and he is making noise here, and he will die."
"Where did it?" Emperor Tianqi said: "Master Sun teaches me his knowledge and answers my doubts. He went out to seize Liaodong, so how could he say that the common man have? I have been taught by Master Sun. Today, Master Sun comes to see him. I don't know how happy I am! This Wenhua Palace is the place for preaching, and Master Sun doesn't know what he wants to say?"
Sun Chengzong said: "Just just now, the old minister heard the officials in the hall talking about the various bad deeds of Zhangbaihu Qingpingfang, and said that the people complained and suffered so much. The old minister did not agree with this."
"This..." The attendant Yang Xian's face darkened. Isn't this a slap in the face?
But even if Wei Zhongxian stood up, he would dare to argue with reason. At worst, he would dismissal from office. At that time, he would have a reputation as a terrible person with the eunuch party.
But when Sun Chengzong came on stage directly, he felt like he was stuck in his throat. He wanted to say something, but was worried about being backfired.
After all, you, Yang Xian, are you?
Sun Chengzong is the Qingliu who has a good roots. When he was a troll, you were not born yet.
"In this way, they are all lying to me?" Emperor Tianqi was surprised.
At this time, he was really confused. Which side did Master Sun stand on? Thinking about it, didn’t Master Sun always hate factory guards?
Sun Chengzong said seriously at this time: "The old minister doesn't know whether this is a deceiving the king. He only knows what I have seen and heard in Qingpingfang since I entered the capital. How to manage Qingpingfang...? The old minister has just arrived, and of course he doesn't understand the inside story. But if it is said that Zhang Baihu abuses the people, the old minister definitely dares not agree. In the old minister's opinion, Zhang Baihu has his own skills in governing the people, but there are some things for people to imitate."
All of them have come to this point.
Yang Xian was already dumbfounded.
But Sun Chengzong was too lazy to pay attention to him at all, but continued to say to Emperor Tianqi: "I have also seen many parents and officials in the local area. These parents and officials are indifferent. When it comes to abuse of the people, Zhang Baihu is still far from them."
Yang Xian had a tense face and couldn't help but say, "Sun...Sun Gong...Don't talk nonsense."
Many Hanlins were also a little dissatisfied.
Mr. Sun, you are a newcomer, how can you understand the real situation? You must have been deceived by the factory guards.
Sun Chengzong smiled.
He said lightly: "I am just a commoner, so of course I dare not talk nonsense."
call……
It seems that Sun Chengzong may have just promoted first and then suppressed, and it is time to criticize Zhang Baihu next.
Sun Chengzong said slowly again: "Sun is of course responsible for his words. Today, in this Wenhua Palace, Sun is making a lot of noise. Just say: If there are creatures in Qingpingfang, I, Sun Chengzong... I am a sinner for a long time. I should deceive the emperor with this statement and should be executed by stern chi!"
“…”
When Yang Xian heard this, she was already like a bolt from the blue, and her mind was dizzy. She took two steps back one after another, and her face looked miserable.
Speaking of this, it is no longer a slap in the face.
Who dares to question if Sun Chengzong can force him to say this and use his credit and life to endorse the hundred households?
This Sun Chengzong... is indeed a ruthless person, but he is the same. He is the kind of person who doesn't mess with me. Everyone is fine. If you mess with me, I will stop doing this official. I'll give you my respect.
This was the case when dealing with Wei Zhongxian, and this was the case when facing these Hanlin people.
Yang Xian knew at this time that if he reached this point, if he was still stubborn, he would not only directly confront Sun Chengzong, but also in the next step, he should be like Sun Chengzong. Everyone should make a bet. If I, Yang Xian, say it wrong, it will be punished by heaven and earth.
But he was a attendant and did not dare to gamble.
Then next... since I was wrong.
What is this?
Yang Xian, with a tragic expression, suddenly collapsed on the ground, and said earnestly: "Your Majesty, I have been so rude that I have just spoken, and I will be guilty of death."
Since you are wrong, you are suspected of deceiving the emperor, and of course you are apologizing for your crime.
Of course, I dare to do it next time.
After hearing this, Emperor Tianqi was already overjoyed. He really couldn't understand that Zhang Jingyi would actually be recognized by Sun Chengzong.
You know, his Master Sun is very picky.
Emperor Tianqi suddenly said with a look of eyebrows: "It's a horse that makes a deer a horse, but I'll spare you today, but I'll never let you go next time I dare to talk nonsense. As for the Zhang Qing family, the Zhang Qing family has always been my humble. Can you not tolerate me? I finally have a confidant minister, and you can't tolerate it? What's the reason for scolding him all day long? It seems... Zhang Jing has a good way to govern the people, but I did not misunderstand others. As for you... Yang Xian, it's a blessing that you were a Hanlin student. Although I spared you for your death, I can't escape the crime! So demoted to the local area and be a county magistrate. Don't you like to be a parent and have great experience in governing the people? Then, love the people well in the local area."
Yang Xian started to hear the emperor say he would spare you once, and she felt relieved.
But now I heard from His Majesty that... I wanted to let him go out and almost fainted.
He is a attendant, and he is a Hanlin Qinggui, and is a sixth-rank official.
On the surface, ordinary county magistrates are the seventh rank, while attending the poster is the sixth rank, but the treatment of the two is very different. The county magistrate is far away from the center and is now a county magistrate, and may be the county magistrate for the rest of his life.
But Hanlin Academy is obviously different. Hanlin Academy belongs to the backup of the cabinet. Today is the sixth rank. It may be in a few years, or in a fourth rank. In a few years, you may become a minister and a minister. Even if you enter the cabinet and become a minister in the future, it is not impossible.
This is cruel enough.
This is not a demotion, it is just a straightforward move.
Yang Xian looked miserable and wanted to say something, but she was suffering.
The other Hanlin people were silent and did not dare to speak more at this time.
Emperor Tianqi was very satisfied with everyone's reaction, so he deliberately snorted: "You must remember this lesson and must not repeat Yang Xian's mistakes! Okay, let's retreat."
As he said that, Emperor Tianqi, who had a sudden relaxation, said to Sun Chengzong happily: "Master Sun, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please accompany me to Xiyuan to talk."
Sun Chengzong was originally a kind person who rituals and said: "I obey the order."
Wei Zhongxian kept looking at Sun Chengzong in surprise.
In fact, Wei Zhongxian had seen these Hanlins cause trouble for a long time. At that time, these people were often targeting him, Wei Zhongxian, but since the Donglin eradication, these Hanlins have become more taboo about him.
Now these people are going to target Zhang Jingyi. Wei Zhongxian is just watching the show, and he is even happy to see it. You can just fight, we only watch the show.
But unexpectedly, when Sun Chengzong appeared, he actually used his wealth, life and life to protect Zhang Jingyi.
This made Wei Zhongxian feel suspicious.
Between them...
Thinking of this, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help but become alert.
The ministers dispersed.
Emperor Tianqi also took over, while Sun Chengzong followed the emperor to the West Garden.
Wei Zhongxian naturally returned to his rank and rank.
As for what Your Majesty and Sun Chengzong talked about in Xiyuan, no one knows.
Even Wei Zhongxian couldn't find out.
But soon, Emperor Tianqi personally gave a note and sent it to the Silijian.
Regarding Sun Chengzong's arrangement, he did not immediately leave Liaodong. Instead, he was appointed as the Prince Taibao, the Grand Secretary of the Dongge, and the Minister of War.
Entered the cabinet.
Although he belongs to the new cabinet minister, his qualifications are of course far less than Huang Liji's.
However, based on Sun Chengzong's qualifications, this cabinet had a place for him. To be honest, Huang Liji's original position was originally reserved for Sun Chengzong, but when Sun Chengzong resigned from his post in anger, he only made Huang Liji cheaper.
But now... Sun Chengzong suddenly entered the cabinet, and then all the ministers praised him.
Obviously... the world's pattern has changed.
And... it also meets the expectations of both the government and the country.
