Chapter 1007 Empress, I bought the medicine
When Wei Liangchen came out of the house of the guest Yinyue, the Fuqing husband, who was in charge of the cabinet, had already understood the matter clearly.
Just in the morning, Ye Xianggao met two people one after another.
One is Luo Sigong, the Great Governor of the Jinyiwei, and the other is Wang Wenyan, a private party under the King An of the East Palace.
What the former said made Ye Xianggao very angry, but what the latter said made him think deeply.
At this time, there were two people in the cabinet's office, but they were not the newly added cabinet ministers Wu Daonan and Fang Congzhe, but Liu Yi-ying, Minister of Rites and Yang Dongming, Minister of Justice.
The two came to ask the chief minister to impeach the internal supervisor Wei Liangchen to kill officials of the Ministry of Justice without permission and privately raise the criminal offense. They also told Ye Xianggao that the censor Zuo Guangdou and others of the Censorate had jointly submitted a memorial to the emperor, asking the internal supervisor Wei to behead him to face the hearing.
"There is little hope for this move, and the Zhengde Dynasty eliminated the power eunuch Liu Jin, and the eunuch Zhang Yong was the internal supporter. Today, they only fought with words and texts, just like a tiger with empty hands!"
Ye Xianggao knew Zuo Guangdou, which was the rising star of the Donglin Party. More than two years ago, he became famous in the capital with a fake official and fake seal case. He was very upright and did not fear the powerful and was deeply appreciated by the veterans in the party.
But this does not mean that his Fuqing husband would support this matter, but instead strongly opposed it, because he had learned the emperor's attitude from the palace's eyes.
As the chief minister below one person and above ten thousand people, Ye Xianggao could reasonably use thunderous means to shock the inner court, but he knew that doing so would anger the emperor who even refused to see his ministers.
Now, as Wang Wenyan said, they can no longer hold on to the case, and should quell the matter immediately. Maintain the current situation and not cause turmoil in the East Palace or King Fu. This is the most beneficial thing for the whole Donglin party and the Xiaoye.
If Donglin insists on using this case to move the imperial concubine, the imperial concubine will struggle to cry in front of the emperor. According to the emperor's nature, it will definitely not be able to bear it. It is difficult for the emperor to protect Concubine Zheng. Will Donglin really fight with the emperor to die? Doing that will only give up the Chu Party, Zhejiang Party and other treacherous parties.
This can be seen from the fact that another cabinet minister Fang Congzhe never asked about this matter.
This is the idea of gaining profits from the fisherman.
"If Master Ge thinks that the weight of the technicians is insufficient, I can also write to the book."
Liu Yiyin misunderstood Ye Xianggao's meaning, thinking that Ye believed that although Zuo Guangdou and others were censors, they had little experience and were not enough to attract the attention of the emperor. Therefore, he intended to participate in this matter.
Ye Xianggao immediately stopped: "I'm confused! The clerk can advise such matters, but the nine ministers cannot speak lightly. If one blow is not hit, the inner court will fight back. If you make a mistake, I will be like a broken arm!"
"What should I do? Can you really look at Wei's lawlessness?" Liu Yiyin was quite angry. The eunuch openly ignored him, the Minister of Rites, in the Ministry of Justice.
"What is lawless? This person is indeed acting according to the will." Ye Xianggao said helplessly.
Liu Yiying was unwilling to say: "Who doesn't know that Wei is from the Zheng family. Can he still have the truth if he supervises this case?...Does the cabinet really think that this major rebellion case has not happened?"
Yang Dongming sighed and smiled bitterly: "It seems that this matter is not whether the Master of the Court wants to do it, but whether Your Majesty wants to do it."
"If I come forward and fall, how can I save it?...Now, alas..."
Ye Xianggao stood up slowly, looked out the window weakly, and whispered: "I can't even ask for your Majesty now, so how can it work? Now, we can only be guests outside."
Liu Yiyin hesitated and said, "This case not only involves the Eastern Palace, but also involves Your Majesty and the Queen Mother. How could Your Majesty ignore him?"
"Your Majesty responded very strongly when he first heard about this case, so he would not let it go, right?" Yang Dongming also said.
"That's because Your Majesty has never listened to others," Ye Xianggao looked at the palace wall of the Forbidden City in the distance. "I'm one step slower, Your Majesty now doubts me."
"this…"
Liu Yiyin and Yang Dongming looked at each other and shook their heads without saying a word.
After a moment, Yang Dongming suddenly said, "Which is not appointed by His Majesty, he has returned to Beijing to participate in the case and extended his hand to the East Factory. Is there no one in the palace to stop him?"
When Liu Yiyin heard this, he also said, "I heard that Bingbi Ma Tang had intended to be the governor of the East Factory. Cao Yuankui belonged to his sect. Now he was killed by Wei. How could Ma Tang forgive him? Well, it seems that there is no need for us to take action. This inner temple still needs the inner temple to be mourned."
Yang Dongming felt that it made sense. Although Ma Tang's reputation was not good. The foreign court impeached him once over the years, but after all, he only made money and did not dare to interfere in politics. However, Wei relied on the emperor's favor and acted indiscriminately. Not only did he burn Donglin Academy and privately plunder Donglin teachers and students, but he also made a big fuss in Nandu. This time, he opened his eyes for Concubine Zheng. Such a person's harm to the government is much greater than that of Ma Tang. If Ma Tang could eliminate Wei, it would undoubtedly be a good thing for the foreign court.
"Although Ma Tang is a pen, Wei has a handwriting in his Majesty, so he is afraid he will not dare to move it." Liu Yiying felt a headache when he thought of the emperor's handwriting in Wei Liangchen presented by the Ministry of Justice. What is this called? This is called the fox and the tiger's power!
"Don't worry about him," Ye Xianggao turned around, had made a decision, and told Liu Yiyin, "Ke Dao's side must be comforted and not cause any more trouble."
Although Liu Yiyin was unwilling to do so, he did not dare to disobey Ye Xianggao. He had to nod and said, "Don't worry, Master, I'll go to the Censorate immediately."
Ye Xianggao said to Yang Dongming again: "The Ministry of Justice will withdraw its personnel and truthfully tell the outside world that this case will be transferred to the East Factory."
"good."
The Qin prisoner asked Wei to go to the East Factory, so the Ministry of Justice had no other things to do, so Yang Dongming naturally responded.
"Do you see Your Majesty again?"
When Liu Yiying turned around and was about to go to the Censorate, he couldn't help asking again. He was really unwilling to accept that such a good opportunity to attack the Zheng family, how could he miss it? If it could be proved that Kong Xue and others were indeed Zheng Fei's instructed to rebel, it would be a great thing to the Donglin Party, the Ming Dynasty, and the Eastern Palace.
"No need," Ye Xianggao shook his head, "I won't go anywhere, go home and stay." His voice was not loud, but his tone was firm.
Liu and Yang were stunned for a moment: How could Fuqing’s husband go back at this critical moment?
Ye Xianggao had made up his mind and waved his hand, "I don't need this case anymore, and I don't want to see the ugly and arrogant attitude of being arrogant."
After saying that, he said very melancholy: "I have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."
His expression is extremely lonely and he has infinite thoughts.
At the same time, Ma Tang had just left the Qianqing Palace. His face looked ugly, and the emperor's warning always echoed in his ears - "I can give it to you and take it back. If you do something you can't afford to me, I will ask you to go to the South China Sea to be the Jingjun."
Jingjun is an army composed of Jingjun in Nanhaizi, and is under the Imperial Horse Supervisor. Although it is Jingjun, it is actually a hard labor service. It is no different from going to Zhongdu to guard the tomb and Xiaoling to grow vegetables.
After a long time, Ma Tang gritted his teeth and stomped his feet away.
Yikun Palace.
Concubine Zheng stood in front of the bronze mirror and looked at herself, sometimes turning her body like a girl; sometimes putting her hands on her hips and touching both sides of her belly; sometimes gently putting her hands on her chest, looking at the bronze mirror and sometimes blushing, sometimes shy and angry, sometimes foolish...
Until a familiar call made the imperial concubine wake up from the strange state.
"Empress."
Zheng Shangyi, the concubine's personal female official, stepped forward carefully and handed the small bag of medicine she bought outside the palace to the empress.
"No one can see it."
"No."
After receiving Zi Yatou's affirmative answer, the imperial concubine took the small bag of medicine into her hand and put it into the drawer of the dressing table in front of the bronze mirror.
"You're fine, go."
"Yes, Empress."
Zheng Zi looked at the drawer with complicated eyes and walked out with slight hands.
That bag is a medicine for women to prevent pregnancy.
