Chapter 86 History outside the Qing court (2-1)

"Is this worth dying for?" After hearing what the Empress Dowager Cixi said, the Empress Dowager Ci'an asked in amazement, "I heard within two days that a censor took poison in Jizhou and said there was a legacy. Thinking that he has some unjust grievances, he must do his best. Who knew that would happen!" "It was just worrying blindly. However, it is a pity that it is finally a loyal minister's remonstrance." "Yes!" Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "He should be given a tribute." "That's a trivial matter." Empress Dowager Cixi continued, "I'm here to discuss with my sister, what should I do with this book?"

"This...?" This was beyond the Empress Dowager Ci'an's ability to respond. She thought for a while and said, "Can I just ignore it? What Wu Ke read seems to be referring to Lord Qi, and I hand it over , I'm afraid he won't look good in face." The Empress Dowager Ci'an is so loyal that it is almost pathetic.Empress Dowager Cixi thought to herself, instead of using her as a shield now, she might as well use her as an arrow stack, which can be used to show her selflessness. "What's the matter?" Empress Dowager Ci'an came up with another idea, "Let's find Fifth Master and Sixth Master first, and ask them if they have any good ideas?"

This idea is not very bright.If it is to be handled as "housework", all four of Wenzong's surviving younger brothers should be invited to discuss it, and only Dun and Gong should be called, and King Chun should be excluded, as if he should avoid suspicion.Empress Dowager Ci'an originally wanted to protect King Chun, but her idea contradicted her original intention, but she didn't know it.Needless to say, let her be confused. "You can't discuss anything with Fifth Master, so just find Sixth Master!" So the next day, the empress dowagers of the two palaces summoned Prince Gong in Shufangzhai, gave him a seat and tea, and after a round of family rituals, the Empress Dowager Cixi got down to business and handed over Wu Ke's legacy.

After reading it hastily, Prince Gong breathed a sigh of relief just like the Empress Dowager Cixi, and he had a plan at that time. The handling of this memorial should be handed over to the cabinet for discussion, that is, to appeal to the public opinion. "Wu Kedu died unjustly!" The Empress Dowager Cixi said when Prince Gong mulled over her words, "That's what our sisters meant when we welcomed the emperor into the palace." What does "this mean" mean?Obviously, it means that succession and succession are the same thing.Prince Gong didn't know if the Empress Dowager Cixi really had such intentions, or did she intentionally speak against her will?But no matter what, this is an excellent opportunity, and it can also be said to be an excellent "handle", which must be seized.

So he interjected: "I would like to invite the two empress dowagers, can you declare 'this meaning' and send Wu Ke's original play to the cabinet for discussion?" "Yes!" Empress Dowager Cixi replied without hesitation, then turned to ask Empress Dowager Ci'an again: "I think there is nothing wrong with this!" The Empress Dowager Ci'an was afraid of hurting the King, but she really couldn't come up with any good ideas, so she nodded in agreement. Therefore, Prince Gong personally drafted an edict by way of military aircraft, and after the empress dowagers of the two palaces approved it, he handed it over to the cabinet for notice:

"Zuo from the Ministry of Officials: The principal, Wu Kedu, took poison and committed suicide. He left a secret document and presented it on his behalf. According to the statement in the document, please make a decree for Ming Yi, and it is planned to return in the future. It was on the fifth day of December in the thirteenth year of Tongzhi. The decree was issued, 'Emperor Qisi has a son, and he will succeed Emperor Daxing as heir'.This time, Wu Ke read what he played, and when he issued the decree, that was what he meant.Authored by Minister Wang, University Scholars, Six Departments of Jiuqing, and Han Zhan Kedao, the original script read by Wu Ke will be discussed and played together. "

Di copied the post, and those who cared about state affairs were all very interested in the words "that's what it means".Especially the gentleman of "Qingliu" feels that these four words contain extremely deep meanings, and it is quite necessary to elucidate them.Therefore, Bao Ting, Huang Tifang, Zhang Zhidong and others have seized their pens and ideas, each showing off their talents, and want to write a big article on "determining the country". Of course, most people are just discussing verbally. Different people have different interpretations for the phrase "that's what it means".Some said: After all, mother and child are mother and child. Of course, the Empress Dowager Cixi hopes that the future throne will belong to her grandson.But some people think that the sincerity of Empress Dowager Cixi is suspicious. The words "that's what it means" are vague. I don't know what tricks will come out in the future?

What will happen?Could it be possible to attribute the world of the Qing Dynasty to the Yehenala family? Of course, this is impossible.Therefore, in the Qing discussion, most of the former ones were believed.But "predetermining the return of the great unification" is against the law of the family, and it is not easy to do in fact. Before Kangxi, the crown prince was established.Since the suspicious case of seizing the progeny occurred, there was an edict in the seventh year of Yongzheng: "The establishment of the reserve is related to the clan and the people's livelihood, how can it be changed? My pilgrimage to the sages has not first established the Qing Palace, and then practiced the throne of heaven, which is boundless for all generations. The foundation of our dynasty is the foundation of our dynasty, and it is the most profound one. A fool can’t know it.” This decree with subtle meaning means that the establishment of a reserve is easy to cause the disaster of fratricide. It is inconvenient to speak out from personal experience, so I say "Fools" cannot know.The system of not establishing a reserve was also established in the Yongzheng Dynasty, and it was followed for generations and did not dare to violate it.

Now it is necessary to book the return of the great unification, that is, to build a reserve in disguise, of course not.For this reason, the meeting was delayed on the 17th day of the third month, that is, due to prior consultations, compromises, and painstaking efforts, it was not until the end of the month that there was roughly the same opinion. The meeting was presided over by Prince Li Shiduo.Prince Li Lie, on behalf of Shan, made great contributions in the Taizong Dynasty with his humility and support. His family tradition has not changed. Shiduo is famous for his good temper among relatives and nobles. Although some people say that he is too humble, his popularity is good after all. , so although the talent is not the slightest, it is quite valued by the Empress Dowager Cixi.This time, according to Yi's decree, he presided over this meeting about the great plan of the clan, which was both state affairs and family affairs.Of course, he was also in charge of the negotiation beforehand.

All the princes and ministers he came into contact with felt that this was a difficult problem.Wu Ke's words cannot be said to be unreasonable, but the Qing Dynasty paid special attention to family law, Gaozong Jiujiang Lunyin, affirmed the intention of not establishing a reserve, if someone dares to violate the ancestral precepts, he will definitely become the target of public criticism, and he will lose his official position in the slightest, and he will be convicted in severe cases .And Shen Guifen insisted on being quiet, King Gong was influenced by him, and changed his mind to suppress King Jiu through the discussion, so the final conclusion was only one word: refutation!

On the first day of April, in the cabinet lobby, countless red-topped flower feathers, close relatives and nobles, all attended, the only exception was King Chun, who could not report his illness.Although this was expected, those who watched with cold eyes still had a strange feeling in their hearts. The sun was already high, and Li Wang Shiduo saw that many people had arrived, and planned to hold a meeting, but although he presided over the meeting according to Yi's order, he had to ask someone for instructions on etiquette.On public affairs, King Dun is the Zongling of the clan mansion, and he is You Zongzheng under the Zongling. On private affairs, "the elders come from the small house, and the juniors come from the long house." King Dun is his uncle, so he dare not be inconvenient. Good at specialization. "Fifth Grandpa!" He called very affectionately, "I've been asking you for instructions, shall we do it?" King Dun was wiping his snuff, twitching his nose, searching with his eyes like a hunting dog, looking outside, pointing with his finger, "Wait!" He said, "We'll wait until someone who dares to speak comes." So everyone looked sideways at the four people who came in succession.These four people are handsome and ugly, and the leader is less than four feet tall, with a beard like a halberd and a strange appearance. He is Huang Tifang, a bachelor of the Imperial Academy.The one next to him was unruly, as if his face had never been washed, and he was Siye Baoting, the most famous official of the Imperial Academy.The two handsome ones, one with a long body and white face and sharp eyes, and the other with a handsome face and a handsome youth, are Zhang Peilun, the attendant lecturer of the Imperial Academy, and Sheng Yu, the seventh grandson of Prince Su Hauge, who has just finished working as an editor. . Qingliu is full of limelight, striding forward, coming up to the hall, and there are people holding hands everywhere to greet him. At this moment, another man, as thin as a monkey, picked up the hem of the long and large solid gauze robe, and sprinted askew. When he came up, King Dun said, "Okay, Zhang Xiangtao is here too, we can start a discussion." So King Li coughed, took out a piece of paper from his pocket, raised it, and said slowly, "This is Wu Ke's legacy, have you read it?" Wu Ke's posthumous relics have been recited for a long time. Although not many people have seen the original, almost everyone has a copy, so no one answered. "I think everyone has read the original copy. Very good, this saves a lot of trouble. Yizhi's "Confirmation of Proposal", I have drawn up a draft of the replay here, do you think it is safe?" Then he ordered someone to find a pen post style, and he elongated his tone, reciting the manuscript he had drawn up and down. This article is very well done. First, it quotes the edict issued in the seventh year of Yongzheng, affirming the family law of not establishing a reserve, and the establishment of a reserve cannot be discussed by courtiers.Inheritance and Jianchu have different words, but they are actually the same thing. Therefore, "return of the great unification" is not something that the ministers can make a request for.In the future, if the emperor is in charge, he will of course respect Mu Zong's system and make the best of his considerations. At this time, he cannot propose a certain method in advance. The second paragraph says that "once the emperor has a son, he will inherit the emperor Daxing as heir", which already includes the meaning of succeeding Mu Zong, so there is no need for the minister to make a request.Combining these two points, we can come to such a conclusion: "Wu Ke reads what he belongs to, and asks for the decree to be promulgated. , I have not yet been able to carefully look up to the body. Ministers and other officials discuss it together, so please do not discuss it." When the script was finished reading, Bao Ting took the lead and said loudly: "Good refutation, happy refutation! However, this is not a refutation of Wu Ke's legacy, but a refutation of the Yizhi on the 17th of last month." This is really shocking!First of all, King Li felt that the accusation was too serious, and said angrily, "Zhupo, how can you say that?" "Ask your lord," Bao Ting interjected, "Yi's decree confessed: 'A proper discussion is provided', and the replay said it was 'no need to discuss'. Isn't this taking Yi's decree to push it back?" It sounded like a good reason, King Li stammered more and more, too anxious to speak. "In this Yizhi's decree, the phrase 'this is the meaning' is the key point of today's meeting." As soon as Zhang Zhidong opened his mouth, he knew that he was standing with Bao Ting, and he shook his head and said, "'Yes' Those who "deliberate" means that the general rule should be returned to the heirs, and those who "discuss" the "discussion" of the husband's succession to the heir, and do not contradict each other. How can ministers and workers make statements in accordance with the two Is it possible to make excuses?" "Then," King Li asked, "Xiangtao, what do you mean?" "The imperial edict of Huanghuang has been passed down all over the world. The words 'that is what it means' should be explained." Zhang Zhidong paused and said, "According to the meaning of Wu Liutang's legacy, the prince in the previous life will inherit Mu Zong as the emperor. Heir, succeeding Mu Zong's rule is similar to establishing a crown prince, which violates the family law of the dynasty. If the prince is old and not wise, and it is difficult to inherit the great rule, it will be even more difficult at that time! So how to inherit the rule, Parallels are not contradictory, and today we need to think long-term.” "These words are really worrying." Prince Gong took out a piece of paper: "Xu, Weng, and Pan, I have handed over a piece of paper, everyone may wish to take a look." Xu, Weng, and Pan are Xu Tong, Weng Tonghe, and Pan Zuyin. As Mu Zong's masters and Nanshu Hanlin, they participated in the grand plan of welcoming the current emperor at that time.The bottom line was drawn up by Weng Tonghe, and the two most important sentences are: "Shaoying Yuanliang, the great treasure, is the holy son who inherits Emperor Mu Zongyi." Heir to the king, he succeeded Mu Zong as the queen. This is the opposite approach. Succession to succession can not only not violate the family law, but also can eliminate Zhang Zhidong's concerns that "the elders are not wise, and it is difficult to inherit the great rule".Everyone thinks it's a good idea. "However," King Li still wanted to maintain his original proposal, "this manuscript does not need to be moved. Xu, Weng, and Pan will fold the bottom and make a copy, submit it together, and wait for the holy judge. In addition, the other person said, Do the same.” "Otherwise!" Bao Ting shook his head and said, "I want to play the title alone." Zhang Zhidong and Huang Tifang also said that each had their own memorials, which cannot be made difficult by others, so they changed their methods. The way to change it is that the original script drafted by King Li is still on the same page, and if someone else wants to make suggestions, they may combine it with each other or play it alone, depending on their own convenience. So except for a memorial from Xu, Weng, and Pan, people in Qingliu gathered to discuss it one after another. Bao Ting, Huang Tifang, and Zhang Zhidong all had memorials, but Zhang Peilun, who liked talking the most, didn't move. This is because he has a big case in his hand, and he must concentrate on fighting, fighting against He Shouci, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. ※ ※ ※ He Shouci is a native of Puqi, Hubei. He was a Jinshi in the 21st year of Daoguang. Although he had a literary name, he was unwilling to join the power minister Mu Zhang's family. The head of the Ministry of Officials, in the early years of Xianfeng, once entered the army, served as Zhang Jing, and later made up the supervisory censor.According to the rules, once you become a speech officer, you can no longer stay in the military plane. He Shouci has become a censor, and he has also performed quite well.In his official career, he progressed steadily and steadily, and by the third year of Guangxu, he had climbed to the high position of Minister of the Ministry of Industry. It's a pity that He Shouci no longer has the integrity of being unwilling to join the "Mumen" in the past.Not only did his family and children communicate with the book office, but he also made friends with a notorious businessman, which made him suffer a lot. The businessman's name was Li Chunshan, whose real name was Li Zhongming, and he was from Shanxi. He opened a huge pawnshop in Liulichang, with nine bays and a name of "Baomingzhai".Li Chunshan had long sleeves and was good at dancing. At that time, a group of famous officials and officials, even King Dun, were fawned on by him. He had a great reputation in Liulichang, and his eyes were higher than the top.As the saying goes, "Big deceit", Baomingzhai has such a large scale, and Li Chunshan has great hands and eyes, so the face of the clerk doing business is ugly. I don't know how many poor Hanlin in Beijing Have people been angry with them?It's fine for others, how can Zhang Peilun suffer from this generation's filth?Of course there will be revenge. After inquiring, Li Chunshan's biggest "protector" is He Shouci.Among the elders in Beijing, Qingliu looked down on three people the most, one was Dong Xun, the other was Wan Qingli, and the other was He Shouci.So Zhang Peilun mercilessly played a book: "Li Zhongming from Shanxi is Li Chunshan. He opened Baomingzhai pawn shop in Liulichang. He falsely called He Shouci, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, as his relative. He bluffed and deceived him everywhere. Inside, he went up from court officials to ministers. As small as the state and counties are, they all make friends. They either arrange for reimbursement from the Ministry of Households, or manage the compensation from the Ministry of Officials, become errands for Beijing officials, or seek private letters for foreign officials. Their whereabouts are secretive, and there are heated discussions. The factory, with a tall and splendid gate, is designed to be like Qing Er, a noble official, a proud horse, at the gate every day, and everyone can see it. I don’t know what position to donate to? Wearing a five-rank official uniform on top, every time an official introduces it for inspection, often Mixing in with the officials on duty, going in and out of the Jingyun Gate, unscrupulous. The husband is a mere scholar, with such a luxurious family and such a prestigious reputation. It is no doubt that he is indeed restless. At the time when the imperial court is rectifying the discipline, the minister is obeying the law Under the chariot, how can you allow Ruo generations to take advantage of the situation to recruit power, interfere with official affairs, incite officialdom, and corrupt the atmosphere? Please order the censor of the city of Shuntian Prefecture to expel Li Zhongming, that is, Li Chunshan, back to his hometown immediately, and he is not allowed to stay Hidden, so as not to cause trouble." Then he said: "Recently, literati and bureaucrats do not divide their grades, and the fashion is becoming more and more popular. To the extent that they show their rank and rank, they have love with officials and vassals, drinking Bo and watching dramas, rewarding and giving gifts, etc. Please order to rectify the injury."This also refers to He Shouci, he is endowed with extraordinary talent, he eats a lot, he can eat a fat duck and an elbow in one meal, Li Chunshan does what he likes, and often prepares rich meals for him.He Shouci also forgot that he was a first-rank official. After he came down to court, he went straight to Baomingzhai with his feathered crown brilliantly. When the memorial arrived in front of the imperial court, the Empress Dowager Cixi couldn't help being surprised. Seeing He Shouci's extraordinary appearance, she also heard that he was quite learned, and he was good at poetry and writing. Moreover, she still remembered He Shouci's eldest son, He Liangzhen, who is now the magistrate of Nanchang. He has a prosperous family. Why doesn't he love himself so much?So I mentioned it to Li Lianying and asked him if he had heard anything. With An Dehai's precedent, Li Lianying was quite cautious, "I don't leave the palace for nothing." He said, "I don't know much about the things outside." "Go and find out!" Empress Dowager Cixi said, and put Zhang Peilun's memorial aside. Li Lianying, who waited on the watch, was well aware of the habits of the Empress Dowager Cixi, that she would not deal with it for the time being, that is to say, she had to wait for him to inquire and understand, so she dared not neglect it.The next day, he left the palace early in the morning and came back at noon. While Empress Dowager Cixi was resting, he told the truth about the relationship between He Shouci and Li Chunshan. The Empress Dowager Cixi was very satisfied with her work done again, but in view of An Dehai's mistakes, she did not want to pretend to use words, for fear that Li Lianying would be arrogant and cause some trouble for her. "Send Zhang Peilun's notes! See what the military plane says?" Among the ministers of military aircraft, no one else spoke, only Bao Jun felt that it was very unpleasant, and shouted loudly: "The first one who has contacts with Bao Mingzhai is Li Lansun! Why didn't Zhang Youqiao say anything?" Prince Gong thought his words were ridiculous, "Forget it, you!" He didn't need to use words when talking to Bao Jun, "Li Lansun and him didn't recognize any relatives, and they didn't go to the official banquet. If it's not breaking the law, why did Zhang Youqiao drag him into it?" Zhang Peilun has a close relationship with Li Hongzao, and everyone in the court knows it. Shen Guifen calmly persuaded Baojun: "Pei Gong! Zhang Youqiao has to think of Li Lansun for this book. Since he dares to go up, he is naturally confident. What he relies on is what the sixth master said. It’s not against the law to buy books. It seems inappropriate to bring him into it.” "Be wiser!" Prince Gong warned: "The superiors are using Qingliu to clean up people's hearts. He Yunfu is too indiscreet. The more you press this book, the worse it will be. Let him understand the answer." So the military plane drafted an order to ask whether Li Chunshan, also known as Li Zhongming, was related to He Shouci?He Shouci's replay said that "he has no real friendship with businessman Li Zhongming, and he has no contact with him on a daily basis. Please ask the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate whether he has bluffed and deceived outside." "I don't understand this!" The Empress Dowager Cixi pointed out He Shouci's language error very shrewdly: "What do you mean by 'no real friendship'? If you have it, you have it, if you don't, you don't have it. Such a statement is unreliable. " "Maybe it's a dry relationship." Prince Gong answered vaguely. "Drying relatives is also kissing." Empress Dowager Cixi said, "Let's see if anyone speaks." She already has a complete understanding of the inside story, but she deliberately doesn't tell the truth. She wants to wait for the speech officer to express herself, and then act according to the camera, using the method of manipulating the words to coerce the princes and ministers.Of course Prince Gong knew her intentions, but in front of her eyes, her actions were all on the right path, and Qingliu opened her eyes for her, so he had no choice but to obey. Therefore, for He Shouci's replay, he did not refute it, but ordered the Metropolitan Procuratorate to deal with Li Chunshan strictly in conjunction with the Ministry of Criminal Justice.So the Ministry of Criminal Affairs dispatched officers, together with the Xuncheng Yushi Zizhao Shuntian Mansion, to transfer officials from the Yamen of Wanping County to arrest people, and Li Chunshan was indeed skilled, and the officers did not dare to offend him, so he was "invited" to Baomingzhai. In the "squad room", he was not put in prison until the Metropolitan Procuratorate came with an official document of "detention". Just like that, it has caused a sensation in Nine Cities. I don't know how many people clapped their hands and applauded. At the same time, Li Chunshan's bad deeds were constantly revealed in the street talks.It turns out that Baomingzhai has a nine-bay facade, which came from the invasion of official land and the foundation of the poor's charity house.Li Fan, the imperial censor, reported the facts according to the facts, and sent the order to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to merge the case and find out exactly. Li Chunshan is doomed to be unlucky, but Qingliu thinks that if he only hits flies and not tigers, the people's hearts will be sluggish.Therefore, Huang Tifang launched an attack against He Shouci, the reason being: "The minister repeated the deception, and told the truth." What is false is naturally the sentence "there is no real friendship".He Shouci and Li Chunshan are not only relatives, but also "reciprocity" relatives.Li Chunshan's ex-wife, He Shouci, considered his adopted daughter. After his ex-wife died, He Shouci married a girl from his family as his daughter to Li Chunshan to fill in the house.So the father-in-law and son-in-law called very affectionately. He Shouci is more than a few years old, and his energy is not waning. As the "son-in-law", Li Chunshan specially recruited a stunning woman with a lot of money, and gave it to his "father-in-law" to entertain the elderly.He Shou Ciyuan's wife died early, and he became Li Chunshan's mother-in-law with his concubine.Therefore, the sharp-tongued Li Ciming said that they were indeed not "true friendships" but "fake and evil friendships". Huang Tifang is quite kind, and she only said half of this "fake and evil friendship". Everyone sees the ground as a hole, and the words of the previous replay are obviously deceiving." So the Empress Dowager Cixi used the topic to show her power, and this time the edict was strict: "As a minister, He Shouci, how can he be a little bit concealed when he is entrusted with the inquiry, and take his own advantage? This time, all the verses played by Huang Tifang are reproduced according to the facts in the Shangshu. No one word is allowed to be embellished. If you dare The prelude to the defense, a little bit of deception, if you don’t find out, you will never be lenient. The above sections, together with the court officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, will be included in the previous case, and Li Chunshan will be severely interrogated together with the Ministry of Criminal Justice.” As a result, He Shouci was not the only one who caused panic. If Li Chunshan confessed truthfully, many famous officials and officials would be involved.Therefore, at the entrance of Baomingzhai, there was a traffic jam, and those Beijing officials who had been in contact with Li Chunshan on weekdays, in the name of condolences to his family, actually came to inquire about the news.The person in charge of Baomingzhai, seeing this situation, knew that the owner would not commit any serious crimes. At that time, he vaguely stated that if everyone worked together to maintain Li Chunshan, then Li Chunshan would decide the inside story of the private and murder case, selling officials and lords, and taking over lawsuits. Will not spit out a single word.Otherwise, I have no choice but to tell the whole story. In fact, this is also a word of intimidation.Li Chunshan, who was imprisoned, knew better than anyone that he could not confess a single word of those shady activities.Once confessed, the crime is beyond reproach, ranging from exile to the army, to serious loss of head.If you don't confess, those famous officials and high officials who are related will have to try to excuse themselves. Even if minor crimes are unavoidable, there will be room for them to meet each other in the future, and they will not worry about not being able to resume their old careers.Therefore, he only told the family members who visited the prison: "Master Zhang is Master Li's protégé, if you get very close, you can only ask Master Li to take care of Master Zhang, and take a step back no matter what." Naturally, these words should be spoken to He Shouci, let him be the master.He Shouci thinks there is no need to do this, because Li Hongzao is going back to his hometown to bury his mother, so it is inconvenient to interfere, and he has a reputation of integrity, so he is afraid that he will not meddle in this matter.As for the fact that Zhang Peilun was very close to this teacher, it is true, but because of this, there is no need to ask for help.He Shouci still had a few unspoken words, Zhang Peilun attacked Li Chunshan only to vent his anger, and he was the target of his attack.As long as Li Chunshan's case is cold, he will be dismissed lightly, but his own disaster is just in the ascendant. Under strict responsibilities, He Shouci did not dare to refuse to accept a single word, the only way was to avoid the serious and take the light of it.In the replay, he admitted that he had bought books from Baomingzhai. This wording is more reasonable.For a seventy-year-old Minister of the Ministry of Industry to personally supervise the exercise of the "Dragon Bar" of Mu Zongzi Palace, after working hard all day, he stopped by Baomingzhai to rest and read books. This cannot be said to be a crime. Sure enough, because of his vague self-reported "achievements", the minister of military affairs could easily excuse him, and the empress dowagers of the two palaces felt that the situation was justifiable, and issued an order to "commit to the Ministry of Discussion". The Office of the Ministry of Officials came here under the order, "Performance of the Dragon Carriage" is a great funeral ceremony, how should we be cautious?Therefore, "reading books by the way" can constitute the crime of "great disrespect", but the decree only says: "The performance of the dragon car is an important task, and the so-called reading books by the way is also wrong." If you don't follow the law of "disrespect", the crime will be lightened. What is discussed is "downgrade to three levels and not allowed to offset". With an edict, He Shouci will lose his official position.Two days later, Pan Zuyin, who had just taken over Weng Tonghe's vacancy and was the censor of Zuodu not long ago, was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Industry.But He Shouci has no job to transfer for a while, but Bao Jun has promised him that once the limelight passes, he will definitely find a way for him to transfer his not-so-ugly lack of face. As soon as Mu Zong's funeral ceremony was over, the big news about Wu Kedu's body remonstrance came out.When everyone was watching the battle of succession, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs drafted Li Chunshan's charges, saying that he was donated by a businessman with the title of "Chief Secretary's Experience" and tested it as a "transcription". Received the "Discussion" reward.But when he became an official, he "still made a living in the market", and he also said that he "climbed to the prominent officials, made friends with the officials of the Sifang, bought temples and houses, built them arbitrarily, invaded the official streets, and concealed tax deeds".As for Zhang Peilun's original statement that "every time an official checks and releases, he often mixes with the officials on duty, and goes in and out of Jingyun Gate without any scruples", it is interpreted as "after the mission was over, he entered the Donghua Gate without authorization and entered the National History Museum to search for confessions. things, looking for a job, and hoping to get another discussion." This is nothing more than "restless duty" That's all, it's not a big crime. Therefore, the charges proposed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Punishment are: "Sixty sticks, one year's imprisonment, deportation to return home after the expiration of the period, and strict control by local officials." Although this replay avoids the serious and light, and intends to justify it, but sixty boards and one year's imprisonment are not some kind of romantic crimes that are not painful or itchy on the cheek, so the court finally has an explanation.He Shouci, on the other hand, was exempted because he had already been demoted to a third level. In the two months before and after, because of Baoting, Huang Tifang, and Li Fan's pen, the incumbent Shangshu was knocked down, and Li Chunshan, who became the leader in the south of the city with great momentum, was sent to prison.In addition to the heart-warming words of "after all, there is still the king's law", everyone praised Qingliu's prestige, especially those officials and subordinates who played fraudulently, all secretly warned each other: It's time to stop, don't ask for trouble. But from Qingliu's point of view, he still feels that the evil has not been eradicated, especially for He Shouci. Zhang Peilun heard that he is still active, so he is extra careful, so he has no time to ask Wu Kedu's legacy.
