"The minister impeached Guo Xun, Marquis of Wu Ding. When he was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, he killed four people from a thousand households and embezzled tens of thousands of taels of money. He killed good people and took credit when quelling Gong Fuquan's rebellion. He also befriended the demons of the White Lotus Sect, invaded the fertile fields in the suburbs of Beijing, and used sergeants.
He repaired his own house, dug coal mines illegally in Xishan, used military households, and refugees as miners..."
Above the court hall, Yao Rong, the censor of the right capital, whose voice shook the roof, enumerated the numerous crimes committed by Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding.
Generally speaking, there is a quota of one censor of Youdu, but there are often more than two people. Now Chen Yong and Yao Rong are both censors of Youdu.
When Yang Tinghe punished nobles and eunuchs, there were always countless fish that slipped through the net, and Guo Xun was the biggest fish.
History buffs know that Guo Xun, Marquis of Wuding, was mostly involved in the Li Fuda Monster Case. But he has something more familiar. Guo Xun was responsible for supervising the construction of the "Temple of Earth", which was built to support the Great Rites.
Since there is no Jiajing, there is no Temple of Earth.
The "Temple of Heaven" in later generations is now called the "Altar of Heaven and Earth", where heaven and earth come together for sacrifices.
Historically, Guo Xun ranked first among the military officials during the Jiajing court meeting. Because he was the one who welcomed Jiajing into the capital, supported the Jiajing ceremony, and supported Zhang Cong and Gui E's reforms. In the end, he was overthrown by Xia Yan.
This same person made friends with Jiang Bin when Zhengde was in power. At the same time, he made friends with a large number of civil servants. He was proficient in poetry, poetry, calligraphy, music, and military skills.
In this time and space, Guo Xun directly joined the School of Physics, successfully became a member of the Physics Club, and was a slightly famous mathematician.
To put it bluntly, Guo Xun is an honorable general who is talented, versatile, and good at fighting.
Yang Tinghe would not investigate such people, and Wang Yuan was too lazy to investigate his own physics club members.
However, Yao Rong jumped out!
Yao Rong and Liang Cai were both known as upright officials in the world among the big bosses of the academy. The weight of Yao Rong's move to impeach was extraordinary.
Guo Xun came out calmly: "When I was serving as the commander-in-chief of the army in Guangdong and Guangxi, I did kill several generals with my stick. That was because they did not obey military laws..."
Yao Rong immediately retorted: "If you are not marching to fight, or if you want to enforce military law, you should not use lynching by the general soldiers. This is treating the court law as nothing!"
Guo Xun said calmly: "You said that I embezzled tens of thousands of money in Guangdong and Guangxi, and also killed good people and took credit for their crimes. Mr. Yao, please provide evidence. I am not afraid of the rumors. And the white lotus sect monster, I was indeed negligent, but
I didn’t know about it beforehand, and the case has been closed and the monster has been brought to justice. Why did Mr. Yao bring it out again? I don’t admit any other messy crimes and let the three law departments jointly investigate the case!"
Of course Guo Xun was not afraid. Although Yang Tinghe did not affect him during his extensive investigation, he took precautions and quietly erased the witnesses and physical evidence.
Zhu Zaiyi asked Wang Yuan: "Mr. Wang, what do you think?"
Wang Yuan replied: "I don't know the details."
Zhu Zaiyi asked Yang Tinghe again: "Where is Mr. Yang Ge?"
Yang Tinghe said: "I don't know the details, maybe we can let the three law departments jointly review it."
Zhu Zaiyi smiled and said: "Then let the Sanfa Division investigate."
"That's very good. I also want to be innocent." Guo Xun returned to his shift as if nothing had happened and glared at Yao Rong fiercely.
Unexpectedly, Yao Rong also said: "When I was the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, the Wei School of Guangdong Tixue Taoist School confiscated thousands of acres of temples, temples and fields without any reason, and put them all into the homes of Fang Xianfu, Huo Tao and others. When I learned about it, I immediately ordered him to
The temple fields were returned, and there was an impeachment report, but nothing was done. Now please investigate, the Huo family must be involved in corruption and perversion of the law!"
The court hall was dead silent, no one spoke.
Wang Yuan couldn't help but look at Yang Tinghe, meaning: Did you instigate this person?
Yang Tinghe shook his head slightly and said: It has nothing to do with me.
Yao Rong impeached three people today. Among them, Guo Xun is a member of the Physics Society, Fang Xianfu, and Huo Tao are both disciples of mind science, and Fang Xianfu is also a teacher and friend of Wang Yangming.
It was obvious that he was aiming at Wang Yuan and opened fire!
Fang Xianfu, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out of the queue, held up the wat board, and said calmly: "It is true that Guangdong's envoys inspected thousands of acres of temple lands, and it was indeed handled by me and Weixian (Huo Tao). But those temple lands
, all came here because the monks and Taoists robbed the people's land, and I wanted to seize the temple land and distribute it to the landless people. Unexpectedly, Yao, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi at that time, took away the temple land forcibly before the land was divided. This matter is indeed illegal, I
Please resign."
Huo Tao, the head of the Ministry of Rites, also stood up: "I also wish to resign."
Today's matter had not been discussed in the cabinet, and Zhu Zaiyi was a little confused. He couldn't help but look at Wang Yuan, but Wang Yuan avoided talking and looked at Yang Tinghe again. Yang Tinghe had nothing to do with him and was too lazy to speak.
Zhu Zaiyi had heard about Yao Rong's reputation as an upright official. Now that he saw that he dared to offend Wang Yuan, he couldn't help but feel a little admiration in his heart. He felt that someone who dared to speak out for justice must be a rare remonstrator.
"Ahem!"
Zhu Zaiyi cleared his throat, and for the first time he handled the government affairs by himself without relying on the cabinet: "Fang Shilang, Chief Huo has a clear reputation. Although he is not in compliance with the law, he can be forgiven due to circumstances. You two do not need to resign, but it is also illegal to break the law.
He should be punished with a salary of three months."
"Your Majesty is wise!" the ministers shouted.
Yao Rong also returned to his shift with a wat board in hand and stopped biting and entangled. It seemed that nothing happened today.
Wang Yuan suddenly understood what Yao Rong was thinking.
It's just that the enemies of the civil servant group have been defeated, and the civil servants themselves have begun to cause trouble.
Yang Tinghe was in very bad health and was about to retire from office. Neither Jiang Mian nor Mao Ji were qualified to carry the banner of the Yang Party. Moreover, Yang Tinghe compromised many of the Yang Party's interests by compromising with Wang Yuan.
Fall apart.
Coupled with the country's prosperity, officials' desire for reform has been greatly reduced. Many centrists and even members of the royal party do not want to follow Wang Yuan in carrying out reforms.
What's more, besides Yang Dang and Wang Dang, many people who are depressed and frustrated are also confused about their future.
Yao Rong jumped out at this time because he wanted to take over the above-mentioned officials and form a new political force. He publicly opposed Wang Yuan to express his position and have "like-minded" people to contact him.
At the same time, it was also because Zhu Zaiyi acted like a wise king and did not listen to Wang Yuan in everything, so Yao Rong dared to stand up - he wanted to be an emperor!
Even Wang Hong, the former imperialist party, may move closer to Yao Rong, and the two of them will join forces to become the new leader of the imperialist party.
Zhu Zaiyi didn't understand the twists and turns. He simply felt that Yao Rong dared to speak out and offend Wang Yuan, and he suddenly felt good about him. This did not mean that Zhu Zaiyi was already disgusted with Wang Yuan.
The reason why he agreed with Yao Rong was purely because the emperor praised virtuous ministers and upright officials.
Wang Hong, the Minister of Household Affairs, looked at Yao Rong with a strange expression.
Wang Hong was the purest imperialist. Once Zhu Houzhao died, he couldn't get anywhere, and he was thinking about whether to vote for Wang Yuan. As a result, Yao Rong suddenly appeared, which gave Wang Hong another choice, but this
The choice will inevitably offend Wang Yuan.
Wang Yuan sighed. He didn't want to be a powerful minister, but it seemed that he had to be.
Officials who oppose reform will inevitably gather around Yao Rong in the future, forming a political force that is not strong but very disgusting. It may not be possible to let them do things, but bad things are very easy, and obstructing reforms at the local level is even more troublesome.
After all, if you want real reform, you must attack the gentry, and the gentry will not sit still and wait for death.
There are even some people who will carry the red flag to oppose the red flag and deliberately distort and implement the reform plan formulated by Wang Yuan to benefit the people into a tyranny that harms the people, thus destroying and obstructing the reform at the root.
Yang Tinghe glanced at Yao Rong, then glanced at Wang Yuan, as if to say: "You can just take care of yourself. When I retire and play slowly, I won't be able to see you anymore."
This is the disadvantage of losing the hatred of eunuchs, nobles, and generals. Wang Yuan can no longer develop slowly. He is now the biggest BOSS.
