Chapter 447: It turned out to be such a crime
Wu Jie: "Mr. Hai Rui wrote a letter to ask for a pavilion to stop the palace. He had just been transferred from Nanjing to Beijing as the head of the Ministry of Revenue. The national fee must be paid by him. The national treasury was empty and unable to support it. It was his duty to submit memorials and comments to Cambodia. Why did he relate to the plot to rebel again?"
This crime is quite serious. If you take it seriously, you might be able to fall into the ground.
The political enemies in the court attacked each other, and it was not good to find any reason. How could people convince themselves if they were found such a crime?
The eunuch was about to reply, but saw many figures walking around there. It turned out that it was dawn and there were people everywhere in Xiyuan.
He was probably afraid of being seen by others, so he immediately said, "Everyone in the capital knows this. You can find someone to ask for it. The villain will say goodbye first."
After saying that, he bowed his hand and left in a hurry.
Wu Jie was even more confused. He was planning to leave Xiyuan, but he was worried about Huang Jin, so he simply walked towards the Chaotianguan construction site on the Taiyechichi side.
I would rather see Huang Jin first and ask in person.
Although Huang Jin was charged with rebellion by Chen Hong, Wu Jie did not take it seriously.
It snowed heavily for several consecutive days, and the ground was white, and the thick feet were very soft when they stepped on it.
Bypassing the two yards, there is a vast water area in front of you. There are two construction sites in front of you, Chaotianguan and Xuanduguan beside Taiye Pool. At such a cold spot, you can still see many craftsmen busy on the construction site. They look like black spots, like ants.
"Who, what?" someone shouted from the other end.
"It's me, Wu Jie of Hanlin Academy. Come and take a look at the project."
The face was a fat white eunuch, who was probably Chen Hong's subordinate. When he saw it was Wu Jie, the fat white eunuch was very rude: "It turns out to be Lord Wu. What are you doing here? This place doesn't seem to be under the jurisdiction of the Hanlin Academy."
Wu Jie was not angry and said lightly: "You are Chen Hong's subordinate, what a big rule! Wu Jie was with His Majesty, carrying a waist sign to enter and exit the palace ban, and he could go anywhere in the Xiyuan."
The fat eunuch smiled and said, "Mr. Wu has been in Xiyuan for half a year, and the rules here seem to be changed."
Seeing that he was not giving face, Wu Jie finally got angry: "What rules? Is Chen Hong's rules big or long live the rules big?"
When the fat white eunuch saw Wu Jie pressing down with a big hat, he finally realized that he had said the wrong thing and turned pale. He said quietly: "Mr. Wu wants to go over and see it, just go."
Wu Jie snorted, waved his sleeves and walked forward strode forward.
The scenery here is really nice, with a lush cypress forest, and the cold weather looks lush and lush.
The main project of Chaotianguan is at its most critical moment, requiring a large amount of wood.
Standing in the woods, I saw the workers pushing a small cart carrying the logs, and then the two of them carried the wood down hard and piled it on the snow.
In the crowd, Wu Jie easily discovered Huang Jin.
Huang Jin was wearing a shabby palace outfit and a hemp rope tied around her waist. The official boots on her feet had broken holes, and both toes were exposed. Dirty nails appeared.
Compared with when Wu Jie left the capital at the beginning of the year, the wrinkles on Huang Jin's face became much darker and her hair turned white.
But his face was calm and there was no sign of sadness.
He was standing in front of a small car, and no one was there to help. He just squatted alone, slowly moving one end of the log out of the car and put it on his shoulder.
When the logs were put down, my feet were pressed and my waist was straightened, and I carried the wood steadily.
Then he walked forward slowly, his steps seemed very steady.
Wu Jie was shocked. This wood was at least 200 kilograms. Huang Jin was so old that he still had such strength. It was really amazing.
Then I thought about it, Huang Jin's martial arts is a master-level master who can compete with Lian Lao San. He has a superb external skill and his strength must be extremely strong.
I was admiring it in my heart, but suddenly, Huang Jin's feet slipped and she couldn't help but stagger forward.
It turned out that the ground was full of snow. If you stepped on so many feet on the construction site, you would have already stepped on it and condensed into ice, but it was slippery.
Wu Jie's heart tightened, but Huang Jin shouted in his throat and his body became shorter, which stabilized his body.
But his face was already blood-red, and sweat was pouring out on his forehead.
A few craftsmen saw that Huang Jin almost fell down and wanted to come forward to help.
A eunuch in charge shouted at everyone: "Don't go there, are you very idle?"
He looked at Huang Jin with a sneer and said, "Eunuch Huang, why haven't you left yet? These thirty pieces of wood have not been moved, but there is no lunch."
Huang Jinyi didn't speak, but just smiled at the eunuch, shook his head again. He moved the wood forward little by little, moved directly to the center position, found the balance point, and then slowly stood up again.
Just as he was about to leave, suddenly, the eunuch in charge came over with a whip and tugged on Huang Jin's back.
Huang Jin's body trembled, but his hands still held the wood firmly.
Someone turned around and looked at the eunuch deeply, as if he wanted to remember his appearance.
Although his expression was calm, Wu Jie could see clearly that Huang Jin's fingers had already drawn five shallow marks on the wood.
"What do you think? Oh, I forgot that you are the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor. But, you committed a serious crime of corruption, but now you are not as good as a chicken. Why do you want to return to the Sili Supervisor to rectify our family in the future? Haha, it's still a matter of whether you can save your life! Besides, our godfather, Eunuch Chen Hong is not afraid of you."
Huang Jin was not angry, but sighed long, "I, Huang Jin, am so old, I never thought that I would stay in this eunuch's position as a seal eunuch. As long as Chen Hong was willing to wait, he would wait for at most two years. Why do you have to do such a thing? It doesn't matter if you offend Huang Jin, anyway, I have already buried the loess on my neck. But what did he do in the case of Hairui? Are civil officials so easy to offend? How many more years can Chen Hong live when he sees people hate him? As a person, Chen Hong, don't talk about thinking twice, I'm afraid he won't even think about it!"
After saying that, he slowly walked forward and stunned the eunuch.
Wu Jie's eyes were so hot that he strode to catch up. He held on to the other end of the wood: "Mr. Huang, I'll help you."
"What are you doing?" Wu Jie, who was ignorant of the eunuch, was naturally not afraid when he saw that he was a sixth-rank foreign minister and scolded him loudly.
Huang Jin felt a lighter on his shoulders. When he turned around, he saw that it was Wu Jie and smiled: "Shizhen, you are back. I heard that you have made great contributions in Fu Jian. Long lively, you are really like a torch. You dare to use you, a newcomer who has no qualifications. Speaking of this kind of wisdom of knowing people, it is the first thing in the world."
Wu Jie waved his head at him: "Mr. Huang, wait."
He turned around and cursed at the eunuch, "Eunuch Huang even has a great sin, but it is time for the old man to live a lifetime. If you have to punish him, you will not be considered as a villain."
The eunuch was about to scold him, but he saw the fat eunuch who had spoken to Wu Jie before hurriedly ran over and pulled him away, and said a few words next to him.
The eunuch then realized Wu Jie's identity, knew that he could not argue with him, and could not use force. He had to shut up and stand aside.
Wu Jie and Huang Jin carried the wood into the construction site and threw it aside. Then they found the wood and sat down to speak.
Wu Jie didn't care about greeting Huang Jin and asked anxiously: "Why did Mr. Huang do this? You are loyal to Your Majesty. Your Majesty and everyone know this, so why did it become a rebellion?"
Huang Jin sighed and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead: "Isn't it because he said a good thing for Hai Rui that made Master Long live furious and was implicated."
Wu Jie: "Huang Gong has always been calm and silent, and he is worse than a hundred words. Why did he speak for Hai Rui this time? Besides, I have also heard of Hai Rui Hai Gangfeng. In addition to being a little bad temper, he can control the situation in Da Jie, so why did he plan to rebel?"
Huang Jin smiled bitterly: "Shizhen said, our family is old and just wants to steadily mix up the past few years, and then ask for a decree to retire and support. But the fact of Hai Rui is too big, and it will cause political turmoil. Our family is also anxious and can't help but say a few good words for Hai Rui."
"What's so big? Isn't it just a memorial to point at Long Live's nose to curse?" Wu Jie disagreed: "Your Majesty has been in power for more than 40 years, and he has been scolded less?"
Indeed, Emperor Jiajing has been scolded by his ministers many times since he ascended the throne. First, Yang Tinghe and Yang Shen and his son discussed matters for great ceremony, and led all officials to scold Jiajing to the end.
Then Xia Yan, the chief assistant of the cabinet, ignored the government affairs of Emperor Jiajing, and hid in the Western Garden to hold ceremonies and fasted the emperor all day long and scolded her.
Now Hai Rui wrote a memorial to mock him, "Jiajing, Jiajing, every family is pure."
In addition to these three major events, I don’t know how many similar complaints the emperor receives every year. He also expressed his anger at the beginning and beat several people to death with a court stick.
But the more people were beaten to death, the more officials became excited, and more people were swearing, and there was a tendency to rush to fight.
Moreover, once officials were slapped by Jiajing, they could win the reputation of being a straight and loyal minister and immediately became famous all over the world.
Such good things will naturally make the better, but I am afraid that they will fall behind others.
Jiajing also discovered this and knew that these guys were using their own reputation, so he naturally refused to fulfill their wish.
From now on, if you encounter any complaints you have entered Cambodia, you will not be posted, and you will pretend to be deaf and be dumb.
But unexpectedly, Hai Rui's memorial made him so angry.
Huang Jin smiled bitterly and lowered his voice, "Shizhen didn't know that there was another reason why Hai Rui posted this memorial. Moreover, as soon as he posted this memorial, the court was in a big uproar, which was quite intent to ask His Majesty for his army. If this mess continues, as long as someone who is interested in instigating him, there will be a big chaos immediately."
Wu Jie was surprised: "I still can't figure it out, so I'll ask for advice."
Huang Jin: "The court has not paid any salary for half a year. It is okay for the officials who hold real power in their hands, and they don't take a few taels of silver every month. But officials like the Imperial Office, the Imperial College, the Imperial College, and the Lifanyuan have no other items in their daily lives, such as the Imperial Office, the Imperial College, the Imperial College, and the Lifanyuan, have no other items in daily life, such as ice and charcoal, and they can count on this little salary for the family every month, and they immediately start to starve. Hai Rui is the head of the Ministry of Revenue, and the position is full of oil and water. But he does not take any salary for half a year, and the family has cut off the cooking. So Hai Rui wrote a memorial to scold His Majesty as a fool. Hai Rui's reputation is so good that others will also make noises when he makes trouble."
Huang Jin smiled even harder: "These nobles failed to do things, but they controlled public opinion in the court and the country. As soon as this matter started, some people shouted that they would let King Yu take over the throne in advance, and His Majesty would advance to the throne to the Supreme Emperor Yixin Xuanxiu."
Wu Jie changed color in shock: "This is someone who wants to take the opportunity to harm King Yu." (To be continued) rq
