Eight hundred and eighty-ninth chapter Wanmin book (two in one)(1/2)

But when he talked about the news of Ma Yu's death, he didn't know the first time that the court did not know.

Although such a thing is shocking to hear, it will not be as urgent as military information or major public sentiments.

The first person to know about this was the Huizhou Chamber of Commerce and the Shanxi Chamber of Commerce in Beijing.

Hui merchants and Shanxi merchants are the largest salt merchant settlement in the world.

This time, the salt administration in Henan was in turmoil. In the end, the salt merchants were of course most concerned about whether the salt administration would be the court or the King of Lu.

Therefore, Lin Yanchao's killing Ma Yu was first spread in places like Huizhou Chamber of Commerce and Shanxi Chamber of Commerce. The salt merchants knew about the officials and royal families behind him, and they immediately knew about it.

As the news came out, people probably concluded this view that Ma Yu wanted to use the silt field case to suppress two thorns in Henan officials to promote the matter of King Lu's vassal.

Seeing that Fu Zhiyuan was injured, Lin Yanchao had no choice but to kill Ma Yu, and there was probably support from the Henan officialdom. In addition to killing Ma Yu, in opposing Lu Wang's vassal state, it was probably the unanimous attitude of the Henan officialdom.

King Lu also learned the news soon.

After the wedding, King Lu moved out of the palace and set up a mansion outside the palace.

King Lu was having a meal, and this meal was very luxurious, worth twenty or thirty taels, and was inferior to the empress dowager and the emperor.

After finishing the meal, Lu Wang told the chef a few words, saying that if the lamb is stewed old and the sea bass is not fresh enough. Then Lu Wang saw the eunuchs from Cining Palace, the officials in the palace, and the confidants of the princes were outside the house.

Seeing this, King Lu couldn't help but ask: "Is something wrong?"

The eunuch who came from Cining Palace stepped forward and said, "Prince, Ma Yu asked someone to beat him to death in Henan."

King Lu was shocked for a while when he heard this. The people below told the story.

After hearing this, King Lu raised his head and said, "Isn't I just asking the emperor for a few acres of thin land to support him and a few taels of silver and flowers? Will the officials below bully the orphans like this?"

"It was Lin Yanchao again. Last time he made Gu bear the reputation and blamed the people of the world. This time he killed Ma Yu. There are so many vassal kings in the world, why did he have to be unable to get along with Gu?"

"What's wrong with him? Did the Lone King have any grudges against him in his previous life?"

The eunuch from Cining Palace comforted King Lu and said, "The Empress Dowager already knows this. Let me tell the prince that he is relieved first. The Queen Mother said that this time, I must not let Lin Yanchao ask for it. I must do it heavily. King Lu, just wait for the Queen Mother to vent her anger for you."

King Lu said: "Last time the official knocked on the palace, it was already a cause of peace between my mother and the emperor's brother. How dare I trouble her with this matter? I just don't understand. Is there a lot of land in tens of thousands of acres of vassals? Is it the emperor's brother in the world?"

"Is it more than a few million taels of silver? I am rich in the Ming Dynasty, but I can't afford it. Why can't these officials tolerate me? I have to make things difficult for me?"

The eunuch of Cining Palace burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down! It's Lin Yanchao's fault, you can't get angry because of this and hurt the dragon's body."

After hearing this, King Lu didn't say anything for a long time, and suddenly he saw the firm figure when an official in front of the Qianqing Palace came to the hall with a memorial in his hand.

This scene suddenly hurt his heart.

At this time, heavy snow suddenly drifted outside the house, and Lin Yanchao's killing of Ma Yu also attacked the streets and alleys of the capital with the heavy snow.

In a mansion near the Imperial College in Beijing.

In the heavy snow, more than a dozen officials were wandering in the living room.

In the study, Chen Li, the current Minister of Rites, sat opposite Song Feng, the governor of Baoding.

Chen Li raised her hands to warm her hands by the stove, while Song Qian repeatedly read several letters. After a long time, she sighed: "You have to think about it. Your decision is to help Shen Shixing."

Chen Li thought for a while and said, "Due to the righteousness, I won't discuss my personal grievances. Besides, although Lin Yanchao is a disciple of Shen Shixing, he is our generation."

Song Qian nodded and said, "The middle-aged official is so rampant. Lin Zonghai dares to fight for his future and wants to kill him. This person has the courage to do so, and he is indeed the pillar of the country!"

Chen Li said: "Lin Zonghai won't say anything, but now we have to help him get things done, otherwise he will be in vain."

Song Qian said: "Yes, King Lu relies on his own brother, and the lion spoke loudly. How can we, the officials in Beijing in Henan, be unwilling to be unrighteous? Even Fu Zhiyuan and Lin Yanchao still want to live for the people, so why don't we do our best for the people in the village?"

"Look at the officials outside the hall, there is no shortage of blood and sincerity among them."

Chen Li glanced outside the house and thought to himself that many of these people were here to take advantage of Lin Yanchao's killing Ma Yu this time to win the public's hope. This is a great opportunity to become a Qingliu official.

But Chen Li said: "Brother Song said it well. In fact, I think saving Lin Yanchao and saving the people of Henan are one thing."

"The Qing Dynasty proposal was chaired by Shen, but in short, we cannot make the eunuchs crazy!"

After a while, the two of them pushed open the door, and the officials outside had been waiting for a long time gathered together.

Zong Bo, Futai, and mentor are called each other.

Chen Li nodded and said, "Brother Song and I have discussed it together. I will write a letter to save Lin Yanchao and stop King Lu from becoming a vassal!"

Hearing this, the officials below cheered!

"The heavens mercies and do not allow loyal ministers and righteous men to go their own way!"

"Please attach your name to the end!"

"Please attach your name to your best efforts!"

The passionate words sounded in the mansion, almost shaking the falling snowflakes.

With King Lu and the undercurrents among officials, Lin Yanchao's killing of Ma Yu also spread, and it gradually became no secret.

First, there were scholars like Anhui Guild Hall and Shanxi Guild Hall, where there were many scholars in Beijing, and then scholars in Beijing also found out one after another.

Such a thing sounds incredible at first.

When scholars heard about it, their first reaction was: "What, Lin Sanyuan actually killed someone in court?"

Most people reacted this way after hearing this, so few people said: "Who is so brave that even the middle-level officials in the palace dared to kill!"

It is not surprising that military generals kill people, but scholars kill people, that's less.

It is not as the saying goes, and there is no use for scholars, and there is no power to tie a chicken. Some of them are the scholars who rebel for ten years.

Scholars always use it as a way of looking back and mother-in-law when doing things.

Wen Kui, who was born in the top scorer like Lin Yanchao and was ranked third in three years, could even do the headshot with a vase, which is incredible for scholars.

But this is not something outrageous!

Some scholars can't help but remember the incident of the Tumu Fort Incident, civil servants beat Ma Shun to death after the Jinyiwei commander.

At that time, Wang Xun, the chief minister of the Husband Department, first beat him with a court scepter, then bite him, and then all officials rushed forward to kill Ma Shun. In terms of official positions, Ma Shun was a lot higher than Ma Yu, but one was a one-on-one fight and the other was a round of beating.

Li Bai plays Gao Lishi and talks about it for scholars, but he admires such a powerful and unrestrained manner.

Lin Yanchao's move is comparable to the execution of the Ten Constables back then.

The scholars were talking a lot, but there was basically no definite news. They all heard a sentence or two from some people who knew the inside story.

There is no official statement about such a thing, and no one can know it in detail. Some scholars anxiously go to ask Henan officials.

But in this way, the officials were hesitant and refused to give an explanation.

At this time, the Yunnan Censor wrote a letter to impeach Lin Yanchao and kill Ma Yu.

Civil officials killed officials, which were unheard of, and had never been heard of, and were rare in ancient and modern times. Of course, in Gu Mingyi's memorial, Lin Yanchao was so angry that in order to cover up the truth about the silt field case, the memorial mentioned that Yang Yikui and other provincial officials acted as a shelter for Lin Yanchao, making this son unscrupulous.

There is finally a truth in this matter!

If Lin Yanchao was killed by the people before, it would be pitiful, but the greed and ink silting the fields was confirmed, would you believe that a corrupt official killed the eunuch from the palace for the people?

This is simply a joke.

What is the truth about this matter? It was immediately confusing.

When the memorial arrived at the Tongzheng Department, the first thing I knew was the officials.

During the Ming Dynasty, civil servants and eunuchs were never right.

Officials believe that Lin Yanchao's killing Ma Yu is very pleased. Moreover, based on the position of protecting each other among civil officials, they should not add insults, and even rescue them.

But if Lin Yanchao really greedy for the fields, then the situation will be different.

Shen Shixing pressed the previous memorial to impeach Lin Yanchao, which made the censors who were not used to Shen Shixing seize the opportunity.

The last time the censor made trouble with Gao Qiyu's case, the censor Ding Zhilu impeached Gao Qiyu, Shen Shixing, Xu State, and Yang Wei, the Minister of Personnel, demoted Ding Zhilu.

This suddenly stabbed the hornet's nest. The censors Wang Shixing, Li Zhi, Jiang Dongzhi and others impeached Shen Shixing, and Yang Wei blocked the way of speech.

Seeing this, Shen Shixing and Yang Wei submitted a memorial to resign. The rest of the country had Ding. Xu Guo and Shen Shixing advanced and retreated together, and also submitted a memorial to oppose the resignation of Ding.

The censors below broke out, and not only did Shen Shixing, but also Yu You Ding, Xu Guo also caught him and bit him.

Later, although Shen Shixing used the Qiu Shi case to regain his journey, the censors became more in opposition to the cabinet ministers, and the situation was as strong as fire. Therefore, Shen Shixing pressed the memorial to impeach Lin Yanchao, which made the censors feel that they had found an opportunity to attack Shen Shixing.

Of course, not all of this is true. Many censors are still mature and polite, thinking that something is strange. It is impossible for the perpetrator of Shenshi to be so careless and give people a handle. Let's take a look first.

The officialdom is a process of washing away the sand. Even if those officials who have been in the officialdom for decades have mediocre abilities, at least they are not bad at being an official.

But some officials are different. Most of the censors are seventh-rank officials, and they belong to the young and strong sect among the officials. They are naturally young and energetic. In addition, the forces behind Gu Ming have contributed to the fire.

Some censors began to communicate with each other, and they did not care whether they were speaking for eunuchs or not, as long as they could defeat Shen Shixing. So a few people immediately "rebel" back.

Of course, it is not possible to impeach Shin Shi in public. It is very risky to openly impeach the chief minister, second only to impeaching the emperor.

So the censors all concentrated the artillery fire on Lin Yanchao.

The two things of silting fields and killing Ma Yu can impeach Lin Yanchao. If the emperor dealt with Lin Yanchao, then the next step of impeaching Shen Shixing, who covered up Lin Yanchao, would be naturally the risk, and the risk would be much smaller.

So a total of twelve censors wrote letters to impeach Lin Yanchao, referring to Lin Yanchao on the surface, and secretly knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, coming towards Shen Shixing.

Twelve memorials were placed on the emperor's desk, like twelve murderous swords.

As the censor wrote a letter, the officialdom suddenly shook.
