Chapter 106: Meridian Gate Shows the Booty

The battle in Guangning was not sure of victory or defeat, but the capital was always watching the progress of the Li Sancai case.

The Li Sancai case continues to ferment, and this time the opposition has launched it.

The censor Xu Zhaokui took the lead in submitting a memorial to impeach Li Sancai "a great treacherous like loyalty, and a great fraud like straightforwardness"; then the censors Liu Guojin and Qiao Yingjia, Wang Shaohui, Xu Shaoji, Zhou Yongchun, Yao Zongwen and others also submitted memorials to impeach the crimes.

The officials of the Donglin Party, who had already felt something was wrong, were aroused again. The officials of the inspector Hu Xin, Cao Yubian, Shi Xueqian, Historian Records, Ma Mengzhen, Wang Jihong and others submitted a memorial to Li Sancai Shen for help.

The emperor's attitude is still unclear. Instead, the "Ming Ming Forum" has been released again. There are too many debate memorials and cannot be published in one issue.

But the emperor ignored Li Sancai's case and did not slacken in other government affairs.

The chief minister Ye Xianggao resigned because of illness. The emperor immediately agreed to grant him the title of Young Master and Prince Grand Tutor, and rewarded him with 100 taels of platinum, four pieces of colorful silk, one piece of red python on the inside, and sent pedestrians to escort back to his hometown.

Liu Zongzhou, the head of the Ministry of Rites and the Right Tongzheng, submitted a memorial to resign. The emperor was still extremely efficient, and approved it and rewarded it with silver and titles. He also gave his own letters, "If you cannot be a famous minister in the world, why not be a famous scholar to promote the Tao?"

This hand-written book clearly shows the emperor's evaluation and positioning of Liu Zongzhou. You are awesome in academic philosophy, and the content of the book you write is complicated and obscure. Although I can't understand it, I am very convinced.

But you can’t be an official, and you can’t do practical things. Go home to teach and popularize education!

Just when officials were having a big fuss about the Li Sancai case, Wang Zhidao wrote a memorial to the clerk, impeaching Gao Panlong, accusing his words of accusing the emperor of being unfilial in "The Essay of Gong Chen Shengming" he wrote several months ago as disrespectful.

Gao Panlong submitted a memorial to apologize, but the emperor ignored it. Gao Panlong then submitted a memorial to ask for it, and the emperor promised it, and he was allowed to take the post car to return home.

The dazzling resignation and permission blinded people's eyes. No one expected that the young emperor would be so rude, such as the chief minister and the important minister, as soon as he asked, he was accurate without any consolation.

In addition to Ye Xianggao, the chief assistant who is mixed with Xixi, Liu Zongzhou and Gao Panlong are both big bosses in Donglin.

In addition to Zou Yuanbiao, who had retired before, three heavyweights from the Donglin Party in the court went there at once, which made people have different speculations.

Could it be that the emperor did not think about the original support of the emperor and wanted to attack the Donglin Party? Or did the emperor have a tendency to support the five-party alliance?

There are still four days left before the palace examination. In the midst of the chaotic speculations of everyone and the almost fierce debate, everything has come to earth.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Gong Shi Fu Guan rushed into the room panting, waved the newspaper in his hand to Huang Daozhou, who was a little surprised, and shouted: "The Li Sancai case has been concluded, the crime of corruption has been confirmed, and the total property of the family is 4.53 million..."

"More, how much?" Huang Daozhou's eyes almost fell out, his mouth was so wide that he could stuff two buns into it.

Fu Guan gasped for two times, and was shocked, and repeated: "4.53 million, I thought it was dazzled when I saw it. Let's go and have a look."

Before Huang Daozhou woke up from shock, he was confused again and asked foolishly: "What are you going to see?"

"The Meridian Gate shows the stolen goods!" Fu Guan waved the newspaper again and said loudly: "The emperor was furious and placed the confiscated silver, wealth, jewelry and fine silk, outside the Meridian Gate. In addition to the orders of all officials to go to see the stolen goods, those who have fame and honor in the capital can also go to watch it."

Huang Daozhou was pulled out of the door, and he shouted tightly: "Brother Fu, don't be anxious, don't be anxious, that's not too late for someone to watch the newspaper first before going!"

"I've read it again when I'm back, but I haven't read it in detail!" Fu Guan folded the newspaper a few times and put it in his arms.

When I arrived on the street, I saw many scholars walking in a hurry, and the direction I went to was the Meridian Gate.

The so-called fame and fortune is not about carrying a diploma with you, but about distinguishing it from the clothes you wear.

The people at that time were still very conscious. The court had regulations, so most of them naturally abide by them. Some rich people were just showing off their appearances, but no one investigated them carefully, but after all, they were not the majority.

"Brother Lu, Brother Liu." Walking on the road, Fu Guan saw the familiar Gongshi and raised his hand to greet him.

Lu Xiangsheng and Liu Lishun were walking together. When they heard the greeting, they stopped and bowed to Fu Guan and Huang Daozhou. They said a few words to the Meridian Gate together.

The Meridian Gate is the main gate of the Forbidden City. The five-phoenix tower shape evolved from the Yingtian Gate of Ziwei City and was built in the 18th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty.

It follows the shape of the Luoyang Gate of Luoyang, Northern Wei Dynasty and the Yingtian Gate of Ziwei City, Luoyang in the Tang Dynasty. The plane of the Meridian Gate is in the shape of a "concave" character, located in the center towards the yang, and is positioned as Ziwu, so it is called the Meridian Gate.

The three sides of the Meridian Gate are connected to each other on the east and north sides, surrounding a square square. The gatehouse on the north side is double-eaved yellow tiled hip roof, and there are thirteen veranda rooms on the east and west sides. They are lined up from both sides of the gatehouse to the south, shaped like geese wings, also known as the geese wings.

Judging from the overall shape, the Meridian Gate is surrounded by three mountains, with five peaks protruding, majestic and royal majesty.

In the Ming Dynasty, emperors usually beat ministers who had made mistakes in the square outside the Meridian Gate, that is, court sticks. In the event of a major war and the army was in triumph, a "captive ceremony" to present prisoners of war to the emperor at the Meridian Gate.

As for the decapitation of the Meridian Gate, it is a random thing in storytelling. Apart from beating the civil servants, there will be no dirty blood here.

In normal times, the Meridian Gate is the main gate of the Forbidden City, so ordinary people would not be allowed to come. But today, there are endless people coming, as lively as the market is coming.

The square of the Meridian Gate is already full of soldiers, forming a hollow shape with three sides. There are two rows, about ten meters apart, and stand opposite each other, forming a passage.

On one side of the human-shaped passage, there were cages and objects, all of which were confiscated Li Sancai's stolen goods.

Boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, fine softness, silk and other things were discharged along the passage surrounded by soldiers and out of the old.

Under the guidance of the soldiers, the people who came to watch entered from the left side of the passage and walked around. After seeing the corrupt stolen goods, they came out from the right side and were not allowed to stay, so they could go back.

A box of money is already dazzling, let alone dozens or hundreds of boxes. Of course, if it weren't for seeing it with your own eyes, the effect would definitely not be so good.

When people walk in this passage of wealth, their eyes are dazzling in the dazzling yellow and white eyes, they feel huge shock and emotion in their hearts that are hard to express. They are talking in a low voice and keep their tongues shut.

"It's really irrelevant that even those officials have submitted memorials and defenses for him."

"If you want to bring such corrupt officials into the cabinet, will those officials be blind?"

"Gu Donglin also sent a letter to Ye Xianggao, praising his integrity and integrity, and defending Li Sancai with great strength!"

"How many people have been deceived by hypocrites."
