The ministers didn't know what they meant, but they quickly organized their queues and leaned forward to take orders.
Jin Yingdao: "Today, regarding Zuo Shunmen, the ministers' words and deeds exceeded the rules and forced the imperial court. However, His Highness remembered that the ministers had the heart to protect the country and also acted for the country. Therefore, after the court, he went to Cining Palace to meet with the Holy Mother Queen.
The Queen Mother will discuss it and inform you and others."
As soon as Jin Ying spoke, the hearts of the important ministers present were moved, and other courtiers also pricked up their ears. Jin Ying's words were vague, but the courtiers heard the elegant meaning of the string song and immediately heard the hidden meaning.
The civil engineering matter was caused by the emperor's insistence on personal conquest. If we want to deal with it, we must take into account the attitude of the emperor once he returns. Perhaps this is the reason why His Highness King Xi has been hesitant to make a decision.
After all, everyone knows the emperor's favor for Wang Zhen. If King Xie disposes of Wang Zhen's party now, wouldn't King Xie be hated by the emperor when the emperor comes back?
After thinking through this section, many courtiers suddenly became less angry.
In that case, their remonstrance was still useful. No, although King Tan was angry, he still hurried into the palace to find the Queen Mother.
No matter how much the emperor loves Wang Zhen, he must also take into account the attitude of the Queen Mother. With the Queen Mother as a guarantee, I am afraid that King Tan will dare to really deal with Wang Zhen and his party.
Of course, this is what most low-ranking officials think. The top-level Jiuqing bosses are all well aware of the temperament of His Highness King Xi. It would be strange if he would worry about this...
Jin Ying ignored the ministers below who had different thoughts, cleared his throat and continued.
"The civil engineering work that the ministers admonished was actually caused by Wang Zhen's party's manipulation of power and humiliation of the country. He ordered the Jin Yiwei to join the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple to immediately imprison Wang Zhen's party. Wang Zhen, Ma Shun, Mao Gui, Wang Changsui,
Wang Shan and others have confiscated their property and the others will be presided over by the Dali Temple, together with the Ministry of Punishment, and the three divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and will be punished before a memorial is issued."
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers were relieved, and they were completely relieved.
At the same time, he also confirmed his previous idea that the joint trial of the three departments is the most authoritative procedure for the court to hear important cases, but it is also in the hands of civil servants.
Given the current situation in the court, regarding the turbulent public opinion of Wang Zhen and his party, what good can they do if they go to the hall of the Third Division? In the end, they will not follow the advice of the courtiers, confiscate their homes and behead them, and even implicate the nine tribes?
His Royal Highness, King Yin, made such a fuss, went to Cining Palace to discuss with the Queen Mother, and had to be tried by the three ministers before he dared to convict. Isn't this just because he was worried about settling the accounts with the Queen after the return of the Emperor?
Well, after thinking about it like this, the anger in the hearts of the ministers immediately dissipated, and they began to worry tactfully. His Highness, King Tao, is in charge of the country, and his status requires him to be so cautious.
What if the emperor returns and they join forces to remonstrate, and even go so far as to kill Wang Zhen’s party of courtiers in public, will they be held accountable?
According to the person’s unreasonable temperament, it’s not impossible...
However, the matter was finally settled, and the ministers were relieved for the time being.
But what they didn't expect was that Jin Ying didn't stop talking and continued.
"As for the surviving ministers who returned after the Civil War, although they were guilty of submitting to power and not being courageous or remonstrating, but considering that the court was still employing people, they were not dealt with for the time being. They were ordered to sit back and think about their mistakes for three days and stay in various yamen.
Listen and use it.”
this……
The ministers did not expect that King Tan would choose this time to mention this matter.
The officials below were naturally overjoyed, but the faces of the court officials were uncertain.
Although Xunqi has handed over the capital camp, even if we put aside the suppression of Xunqi, the disposal of these ministers who fled with them is also an important symbol for the characterization of the civil engineering matter.
After all, if the people accompanying us do not deal with such a big event, how can we warn future generations? What if there are people with evil intentions in the future who easily try to seduce the emperor to go on an expedition?
What's more, from a selfish point of view, in addition to the nobles and nobles, many of the returned ministers are civil servants. If they are not dealt with, there will be a number of positions in the court that will be vacated.
For a minister, this is not a good thing.
The ministers were worried, but they were frightened by King Xi's power and did not speak for the time being. Jin Ying's next words directly silenced them.
"There are also seven officials who participated in the killing of Ma Shun and others and are now being held in prison. Although they have committed serious crimes, His Highness is kind, thinking of their loyalty to the country, and allowed them to commit crimes and perform meritorious services. They will be punished accordingly.
After one year of salary, the salary was reduced to one level, and he was still dispatched by the original official to patrol the passes along the border and coordinate the defense. If after this battle, he has served the country well, his sins can be pardoned."
Okay, no one can blame anyone now!
On the side of the nobles and relatives, His Highness King Tao handled it with care, and on the side of the civil servants, he also slapped him and gave him sweet dates.
For civil servants, these seven censors must be protected!
This is not just a matter of face, but more importantly, these seven officials actually suffered on behalf of all the civil servants who take action today.
If they hadn't come forward, I'm afraid this turmoil wouldn't have been so easy to subside.
If they are really accused of beating court officials to death, then if word spreads, all the ministers present will be cast aside by the scholars.
Your Highness, King Xin, is now giving them a step forward.
These punishments may seem severe, but what they have imposed on them is nothing more than a small salary penalty. A downgrade in official rank is also based on salary. The original official position remains, and it is not even considered a real demotion.
After this incident, these seven people will definitely become famous in the government and the public. No one will really look down on them because of their downgraded official status.
As for being sent to inspect and coordinate defense at various passes along the border, it may seem like a punishment, but in fact it is a sign of reliance. You must know that in the current situation, the importance of the passes along the border is self-evident, so sending Yushi Dao officials to inspect
It's as it should be.
Everyone who is sent abroad is on behalf of the imperial court and cannot be appointed unless he is a confidant. The danger is a bit dangerous, but once he has accomplished a meritorious service, his reputation and status will surely rise to a higher level, and his future prospects are unlimited.
How is this a punishment? It is clearly an overt reduction and a covert promotion!
Suddenly, many ministers secretly regretted why they were so cowardly just now.
If I had known this earlier, I would have stood up for myself.
But they forgot that in the scene at that time, Zhu Qiyu's aura was fully activated, and his roaring voice filled the entire Meridian Gate. Coupled with the hundreds of Jinyi guards around him holding embroidered spring knives, his posture was clearly to push the main criminal out of the Meridian Gate and behead him.
General.
Among the few Yushi Kedao who left the job, none of them left with the determination to look forward to death. Since they did not have the courage and integrity, they naturally did not deserve such trust.
But no matter what, it’s good that the people are protected!
The ministers secretly rejoiced. It seemed that His Highness, King Tan, still had the overall situation in mind, and was not so arbitrary and did not listen to advice. Perhaps it would be a real good thing for the Ming Dynasty that such people come to take charge of the affairs of the dynasty.
.
Unconsciously, most of the courtiers present had an impression of Zhu Qiyu, His Royal Highness, from a cowardly royal prince to a respected and feared master of the court.
However, many people still feel that it is a pity. Although His Highness has forgiven these officials, the price is to let go of the accompanying relatives. It is really easy for them!
Wenchen's thoughts on the other side, but the other side of the other side, regardless of these, just a few seven -grade royal history.
At this moment, Li Xian, Guo Sheng and others immediately left the team and said.
“I have received the order and thank you for your grace.”
Immediately afterwards, the nine ministers on the civil servants' side also sighed. The matter had come to this, and this might be the best result that could be achieved, so they no longer hesitated and stepped forward as well.
“I will take my orders.”
Everything has settled, and the atmosphere outside the Meridian Gate is finally a little more relaxed, not as solemn as it was just now.
This great court meeting has been too long, with many twists and turns. Thinking back to everything that happened today, all the ministers present could not help but feel a sense of emotion.
I'm afraid that this thrilling court meeting will really be recorded in the annals of history. Being able to participate in such a big event will be considered as a worthy cause of my worries...
On the other side, seeing that the ministers were gradually relaxing, Jin Ying also breathed a sigh of relief.
He was sent away by Zhu Qiyu early, and he did not see the courtiers beating Ma Shun to death, but looking at the chaotic situation left outside the Meridian Gate, and Ma Shun and others who were still lying there with their noses and faces swollen and bruised, and no breath left.
, he could imagine what the scene was like at that time.
How can anyone be willing to risk his life?
God knows if these courtiers will go crazy again...
Seeing that the situation was stable, Jin Yingcai spoke again.
"Today's court meeting is over. Your lords must have been frightened today. Go back to the Yamen to rest early. Your Highness has been ordered to summon the six ministers, cabinet ministers, Zuo Du Yushi, Fengcheng Hou and several governors to come here.
We are discussing matters in Jiyi Hall. If you have nothing else to do, you can go with our family."
it is finally over……
Hearing this, the courtiers' hearts were completely relaxed, they cupped their hands, and left the square in twos and threes.
I was frightened too much today, so I have to go back and have a good rest.
Not long after, the ministers had almost left, and Jin Ying also led the few important officials he had just named to the Jiyi Hall.
Like most of the courtiers, these important ministers also gradually relaxed their minds after this incident. After all, although the matter had many twists and turns, it was finally resolved satisfactorily!
But among them, except Chen Yi and Yu Qian.
The two of them looked at each other, and both saw the awe-inspiring look in the other's eyes.
As soon as Jin Ying opened his mouth to call them into the palace, Yu Qian thought of something, and his face suddenly darkened, because the relaxation brought about by the successful resolution of the court meeting disappeared at all.
As for Chen Yi, although he didn't know what they were going to discuss, but thinking about King Xi's gloomy face that day, his intuition told him that the storm they would have to deal with next would be no less than the one just now.
Court meeting...
