Chapter five hundred and seventy first encounter Feng Bao
Just to understand the situation?
hehe
In the following time, although Zhu Pingan was sitting on the chair at the bottom, he was interrogated several times like a prisoner by several adults from the Ministry of Punishment who were sitting in high seats. The interrogators were mainly Wang and Liu from the Ministry of Punishment, and officials from the Shaanxi Qing Dynasty.
Zhai Juntao, the chief minister, occasionally asked a few questions. As for the Minister of Justice, He Ao, who was in the first place, he had left long ago. A minor official had just come to Tongbing palace, so He Ao had left, and the seat had not yet been warmed.
The memorial may be a big deal for Zhu Ping'an, but it is just a trivial matter for He Shangshu. It is enough to just give orders to his subordinates with his words. There is no need and it is not worthy for him, the highest official of the Ministry of Punishments, to take action personally.
In addition, during the interrogation, the doctor Zhai Juntao calmly used his eyes to hint to the clerk in the corner to record the entire process in a record.
This scene was seen by Zhu Ping'an. He thought that whatever he said today would be recorded and would definitely be used as evidence when the petition would be heard in the future.
In such a situation, Zhu Pingan would not believe that he just understood the situation.
In the face of repeated inquiries, Zhu Pingan did not reveal a trump card, nor did he make any substantive judgments. No matter what the inquiry was, he just responded in a scholarly manner, such as the following:
"The name of our country is the Ming Dynasty. The sun is on the left and the moon is on the right. No matter day or night, the light can shine in all directions. The emperor's grace is great and eternal prosperity will last forever. Although the lower officials are not talented, they still have the heart to serve the country. Thousands of households.
Zhao Daying killed a good man and took credit for it. Instead of killing the enemy and serving the country, he used the people's heads to deceive the court and ask for rewards. The sky was angry and the people were resentful. The sky was dark and the earth was dark. The people who had been wronged did not see the light of day. Such a tiger and wolf act insulted the name of our Ming Dynasty. How can I sit back and watch?
in spite of."
…
In the eyes of everyone, Zhu Ping'an was just a scholar with no sense of righteousness and no sense of the world.
Also, in their opinion, if Zhu Pingan was not like this, how could he have received such a memorial.
This kind of person is the easiest to deal with, like a defenseless little girl who can be knocked down with a push and still cooperate when being ravaged.
During the interrogation, the two adults, Wang and Liu, became more and more relaxed. In their eyes, Zhu Ping'an, the youngest number one scholar in the Ming Dynasty, was like a broken ship riding the wind and waves, about to hit the iceberg ahead.
The interrogation lasted for more than half an hour and ended. The two adults, Wang and Liu, felt that the interrogation of the Book of Changes was enough. A passionate person like Zhu Pingan, who had nothing to say but no evidence, would interrogate Chen.
Love is not at their mercy.
Thinking about it, the outcome of the future review of the petition will definitely satisfy Mr. Yan.
After the interrogation was over, Zhu Ping'an stood up and watched several adults leave. Then he also said goodbye and left. He just went back and waited for the Ministry of Punishments to notify him of the time for the hearing.
"Hey, isn't this Master Xiao Zhu?"
When he was about to go out, Zhu Ping'an heard a high-pitched but not feminine voice coming from behind, and the voice was slightly hoarse.
Hearing this, Zhu Pingan stopped and turned around, and saw a handsome little eunuch dressed in gorgeous internal eunuch clothes. He was being escorted off by several officials from the Ministry of Punishments. When he saw Zhu Pingan turn around, the little eunuch faced him.
A smile appeared on his face.
This young eunuch is considered an acquaintance of Zhu Pingan, Feng Bao in the palace, and Zhang Juzheng's most reliable political ally in the future. However, Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng don't have many interactions yet, but they have a lot of interactions with Zhu Pingan.
As for whether history will move forward according to the inertia of the wheel in the future, or whether it will change like the flapping of butterfly wings, no one knows. Only time will know the answer.
"Eunuch Feng has a good eye." Zhu Pingan walked over with a smile and said to Feng Bao.
"It's really Mr. Xiao Zhu. It's a coincidence that we met here." Feng Bao walked over with a smile and bowed his hands to Zhu Ping'an.
It seems that the little official who just reported the visitor to the palace refers to Feng Bao. Feng Bao is just a little eunuch in the palace who works for Huang Jin. He Ao, the top official of the Ministry of Punishment, can personally greet him... I think he is almost there.
I waited for a long time to see He Shangshu. It seems that the power of eunuchs is getting stronger and stronger now.
This also has a lot to do with Yan Song's flattery and connivance towards the eunuchs.
In the past, when Zhang Cong, the chief minister of the cabinet, met Emperor Jiajing, all the eunuchs outside would bow to Zhang Cong and say hello; when Xia Yan became the chief minister, although Xia Yan was not as arrogant to the eunuchs as Zhang Cong, he still treated them as slaves.
When Xia Yan met Emperor Jiajing, he spoke politely to the eunuchs outside. When Yan Song became the first assistant, when he met Emperor Jiajing, Yan Song would hold the hands of the eunuchs outside, talk enthusiastically, and stuff them with red envelopes.
Just bring a small gift or something before entering to see the saint.
If this trend continues, the appearance of the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, who covers the sky with one hand, will not be any surprise.
"It's noon. If my father-in-law doesn't mind, why don't you let Ping'an serve as host, have some simple food and drink," Zhu Ping'an politely invited.
Among the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, Feng Bao was considered a clean figure, and Zhu Pingan was at least not as disgusted with him as he was with other eunuchs.
and
The Ming Dynasty's current internal and external court system is such that serving as an official in the dynasty is inseparable from these eunuchs in the internal court. Zhu Ping'an is not so noble that he has no contact with all the eunuchs.
"Master Xiao Zhu, you're welcome. The Za family has to go back to restore Huang Gong." Feng Bao's face was slightly moved, but he still shook his head, as if something was on his mind.
Huang Gong refers to Huang Jin, right? Huang Jin is now a powerful figure that cannot be ignored in the Ming Dynasty. The famous man next to Emperor Jiajing is in charge of the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the Admiral of Dongchang. I won’t go into details about Dongchang, everyone knows it.
, as for the Supervisor of Ceremonies, it is also an institution that cannot be ignored in the Ming Dynasty.
The imperial staff is a sharp sword that is worn on the heads of officials of the Ming Dynasty, and this sword is supervised and executed by the eunuchs and eunuchs. According to historical records, when Jinyiwei executes executions, the severity is determined by the standing posture of the eunuchs.
, if the toes of the eunuch's and eunuch's boots face outwards in a figure-eight shape, the Jin Yiwei will strike lightly; if the toes of the two boots are aligned inwards, the Jin Yiwei will strike hard, which determines life and death.
In addition to the court staff, the Si Li Jian was also in charge of the memorials received from the six departments, and indirectly gained the power to supervise the administration of the six departments and the trial of the criminal department.
In addition, serious cases in the Ming Dynasty were reviewed by the Three Law Departments and then reported to the emperor for approval. However, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty was too lazy to deal with government affairs and often handed over the final decision-making power to the eunuch Si Li Jian. In this way, the Si Li Jian wanted to be
It’s hard for people to ignore.
"It turns out that my father-in-law is busy with important matters. It's because of Ping'an's sudden interruption. Official matters are important."
Zhu Pingan took Feng Bao's expression into his eyes. It seemed that Feng Bao had encountered some difficulties recently, but Zhu Pingan did not take the initiative to ask. He just smiled and exchanged greetings.
This is psychology.
If you take the initiative and ask quickly, even if you help solve the problem, the price will drop, and it will easily cause the other party to overthink.
When the other party says it, it means that you are asking for something from yourself, and the value difference will be huge. (To be continued.)
