Volume Four, Chapter 32, Facts
To be honest, Jiajing is not a fool, his IQ should be considered relatively normal.
However, in front of an old fox like Yan Song, his pitiful IQ is not enough, so in history, he was deceived and even played with by Yan Song for more than 20 years.
If Yang Cong had not appeared at this moment, he would probably have believed Yan Song's slander and mistakenly killed meritorious generals like Qi Jingtong and Tang Kekuan, allowing pirates and Japanese pirates to continue to rage in the southeast.
Fortunately, Yang Cong appeared, and his methods were even more skillful and shameless than Yan Song!
He actually did everything like forging official documents, and what he forged was the official documents issued by Zhao Wenhua!
Yan Song did ask Yan Maoqing to forge official documents, but what Yan Maoqing forged was the official documents of Nanjing Ministry of Revenue. The matters he was in charge of, the official documents he created were true. Who can tell that it was forged?
Yang Cong is different. He forged the official documents of Zhao Wenhua, the governor of Zhejiang, and Yan Song could tell at a glance that this was fake!
What if Yan Song can see the problem? Jiajing can’t see it!
How could he take this forged official document?
Teared?
Such things are not possible, and there are records everywhere. If he tear down these official documents privately, it would not have become true.
He could only attach a ticket to the memorials of Qi Jingtong and Tang Kekuan, reminding Jiajing that these official documents might be forged. At the same time, he ordered people to urgently notify Zhao Wenhua, who was far away in southern Zhili, and quickly find a way to prove that the Governor of Zhejiang Zhi had never given such an order to Qi Jingtong and Tang Kekuan at all.
Nowadays, there are ways to prove the authenticity of official documents, because important official documents are all in line, that is, the official document paper is actually cut into two pieces. The yamen that issues the official documents will keep one of them. If you want to check the authenticity, you can see that the two official documents are combined together. Fake official documents and real official documents will definitely not match.
The reason why Yan Maoqing’s forged official documents cannot distinguish the authenticity is because the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue is under his jurisdiction. Can the official documents he issued be in line with can’t be matched?
By the way, why is Yang Cong so confused? Once Zhao Wenhua takes the real official documents to verify them, wouldn’t he be exposed?
Of course he was not so confused. This can't be fake, but the official document paper can be fake. He just needs to make the official document paper exactly the same as the official document paper in the Governor's Office of Zhejiang Direct. As for the official document, even if you, Zhao Wenhua, can destroy the official document, and even use other official documents to confuse the public. Anyway, Jiajing didn't see Zhao Wenhua signing the order, so this matter would be a bit sarcastic. Who would Jiajing believe with his pitiful IQ?
Besides, whether it is Southern Zhili or Northern Zhili, Yang Cong, the yamen runner, was all in the way. Perhaps, he had already asked someone to make fake documents and write a document library in the Zhejiang Governor's Office. If Yan Song wants to talk to him about this, it would be a pity!
Of course, these are all later stories, so I will not be able to express it for the time being. The memorial will soon be passed to Jiajing. What would Jiajing think after reading it?
When Jiajing saw the memorials of Qi Jingtong and Tang Kekuan, he felt really uncomfortable because Gu Kexue had laid an introduction in his heart, an introduction that did not trust Yan Song or Zhao Wenhua.
He subconsciously thought that he had been fooled, and Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua did have a unclear relationship with pirates and Japanese pirates. Because the "facts" proved that Qi Jingtong and Tang Kekuan did not disobey Zhao Wenhua's orders, but followed Zhao Wenhua's orders and went to Guangdong and Zhejiang, and something happened to Nanzhili!
As for Yan Song’s “ordering people” to report, Yang Cong and Wang Zhi’s snares, their anger, their anger, their anger, and their acquisition of Japanese pirates, all of them are a bit like rumors, not like facts, and catching Japanese spies is even more far-fetched.
These things are so pale in the face of the fact that Qi Jingtong and Tang Kekuan reported that these things were so pale and there was no convincing at all.
He is really not a fool. How could he not believe the "facts" in front of him?
Is Yan Song really such a treacherous villain?
Just when he began to doubt Yan Song in his heart, Gu Kexue came again.
This time, Gu Kexue didn't come to refine medicine for him. The materials were gone, so the medicine naturally couldn't be refined. He came here to sue Yan Song for a black case!
After the monarch and ministers greeted him, he took out a large stack of confessions from his arms and said as if he offered treasures: "Your Majesty, the general of Zhejiang Navy Wang Zhi caught a group of pirates. This is his confession."
Why did this confession be presented by Gu Kexue?
At this moment, Jiajing did not blame Gu Kexue for being troubled, because he strictly prohibited court officials from disturbing him when he was practicing, and even Yang Cong could not disturb him casually. Only Yan Song and Gu Kexue could use the name of refining medicine or offering sacrifices to Qingci to come to the palace to meet the saint.
As for Lu Bing, Jiajing warned him many times not to "benevolent" for Yang Cong. If Lu Bing commits it again and again, even if he is a tit brother, he will get angry.
Therefore, Yang Cong asked Gu Kexue to present the confession, but he could still understand it.
He took the confession and looked carefully, and a slight look of anger appeared on his face.
These confessions were naturally processed by Wang Zhi. Originally, these pirates were caught by Wang Zhi when they were plundering Wang Zhi's fleet, but Wang Zhi changed it to him that they were caught by him when they passed through the waters near Putuo and were preparing to plunder ashore.
As for the identities of these people, Wang Zhike did not process them at all. They were all crew members hired by the maritime merchants under the former maritime merchants. Moreover, they were all instructed by the Xie family of Yuyao to pretend to be pirates and Japanese pirates. The leader was Zhao Wenhua's brother-in-law Xie Shixian.
By the way, wouldn’t he be afraid that Jiajing would order people to escort these pirates and Japanese pirates back to Beijing for interrogation?
Of course he was not afraid. If Jiajing really ordered people to escort these pirates and Japanese pirates back to Beijing for interrogation, he would have died without evidence. Moreover, the deaths of these people would be defeated by Zhao Wenhua!
Jiajing would not doubt the authenticity of these confessions, because they all have the names and hometowns of these people.
There was a "Yellow Book of Fu Services" in the Ming Dynasty. Are the names and hometowns of these people real? What they have been doing in recent years? These are easy to find out. If you check, these people have been farming at home and have never been to any place, or if these people are still at home now, Wang Zhi will be exposed.
As for the escorts of these people back to Beijing for interrogation, Jiajing didn't think so much about it now.
He believed that Wang Zhi would never dare to fake so many confessions and so many people.
He was really angry.
Now, the "facts" are already very obvious. Pirates and Japanese pirates were instructed by Yan Song and Zhao Wenhua. They even deliberately sent Qi Jingtong and Tang Kekuan away to facilitate the pirates and Japanese pirates to act. It was simply outrageous!
The humiliation after being deceived suddenly surged into his heart, and the anger in his heart became bigger and bigger, so that his hands holding the confession were trembling a little.
Yan Song, you dare to deceive me like this!
If he hadn't wanted to save some face for himself, he would have to take Yan Song down immediately.
Another cabinet chief, who has committed such an unforgivable crime, is he really blind?
