The rise of the poor

Xiyuan, Wuyi Hall.

Emperor Jiajing was sitting high on the dragon chair, holding a memorial in his hand, which he was reading. Yan Song, Xu Jie, Li Ben, and all the ministers of Wuyi Palace were standing in the hall, and the Minister of Civil Affairs, Mr. Wang, was also there. in.

Wang Shilang bowed his body and looked at his nose and heart. Although he did not dare to raise his head to look at the holy face, he kept listening with his ears.

He was feeling very excited and expectant at the moment. Of course, he was also a little uneasy. After all, his reward plan required the Holy Emperor's nod. If the Holy Emperor didn't nod, his plan would be a piece of waste paper.

However, he is not particularly worried about this, he is still relatively confident.

Princess Ning'an has reached the age of marriage, and the Emperor was not satisfied with the two choices of consort chosen by the Ministry of Rites.

Zhu Ping'an was the number one scholar, and he was well versed in military matters. The emperor would definitely be satisfied with the son-in-law he sent to his door.

Moreover, the most important thing is that their connections were insidious about Concubine Shen's intentions. Concubine Shen was very satisfied with Zhu Ping'an. Although Concubine Shen is not Princess Ning'an's biological mother, she was raised by Concubine Shen after the death of Princess Ning'an's biological mother, Concubine Cao Duan. If Concubine Shen is satisfied, this matter will be very interesting.

You must know that the most powerful wind in the world is the pillow wind.

Just when Wang Shilang was anxious and looking forward to it, Emperor Jiajing, who was sitting on the dragon throne, closed the memorial, looked at his highness, and slowly asked in a normal tone, "Who proposed this reward plan?"

"Return to the Holy Spirit, I was the first to propose it." As soon as Wang Shilang heard Emperor Jiajing's inquiry, he couldn't wait to stand up.

Although this reward plan was proposed by him, if it were to be normal, he would have to consult the eyes of Yan Maoqing and other senior officials of the strict party, and only after getting their approval could he stand up and say that this plan was proposed by him.

However, the opportunity is rare, and who doesn't want to show his face in front of Emperor Jiajing? If he can leave a good impression on Emperor Jiajing, his future career will not be smooth. Wang Shilang doesn't want to miss this opportunity.

Perhaps, this is his only chance in this life.

Therefore, as soon as Emperor Jiajing spoke, Wang Shilang did not bother to consult the senior officials of the Yan Party and stood up directly.

"It's you." Emperor Jiajing nodded.

"It's Wei Chen." Wang Shilang expressed his stance again with excitement.

"Come here, pull this bastard out for me and beat him with fifty royal sticks!" Emperor Jiajing changed his face for a second, cursed with a dark face, and ordered Wang Shilang to be pulled out and beaten with fifty royal sticks!

what? !

Hit the court stick! ?

Since the Great Ceremony Incident, with the exception of Zhang Sijing and others from the Sixth Section last year who missed mentioning the word "Wanshou" when congratulating Wanshou and were given forty sticks, no one has been hit with a stick by the Holy Emperor anymore. Why? Is it your turn? !

And it’s still fifty imperial staffs!

It takes ten more strokes than Zhang Sijing and the others! !

Wang Shilang seemed to be struck by a bolt from the blue. He was stunned for a long time and did not react for a long time.

It wasn't until two imperial guards came over and dragged Shilang Wang back by his arm like a chicken that Shilang Wang reacted. His face was pale, his whole body was trembling, and his voice was trembling as he begged for mercy.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I have a cold heart. I care about the imperial court. The plan I proposed is to relieve your Majesty's worries."

Wang Shilang was like a fat pig being dragged by its ears to the slaughterhouse. He begged for mercy while being dragged.

"For the sake of his concern for the imperial court, please forgive him once." Several members of the Yan Party also stood up to plead with him.

"Shit's heart cares about the court! Shit wants to share my worries! Don't you think I don't know that Zhu Pingan is already married and has a family, and a child is about to be born! You asked me to marry my Ning'an to Zhu Pingan, is that right? Do you want my little Princess Ning'an to be his concubine?! Where do you want the court's face to go, and where do you want my old face to go?!"

"You still care about the court and share my worries! That's bullshit! You are clearly causing trouble for me! You are corrupting Chaogang!" "Pull me down and beat you hard!"

"Don't blame me for not predicting what I said. If anyone dares to intercede for him again, then keep him company and go out to receive the royal stick together!"

Emperor Jiajing had a dark face, cursed loudly, and ordered the imperial guards to pull him down and beat him severely in disgust.

Seeing that Emperor Jiajing was so angry, he said harsh words in advance. Other members of the Yan Party were also silent and did not dare to open their mouths to plead for Wang Shilang again.

After all, although they are both members of the Strict Party, their relationship has not reached the point where they have difficulties.

Friends who are dead Taoists should not be poor Taoists. It is better for you, Wang Shilang, to bear the punishment of the royal staff yourself.

Soon, the screams of Wang Shilang, like killing a pig, could be heard outside the hall, one after another.

Seeing Emperor Jiajing's displeasure, Huang Jin bowed quietly and retreated, looking for a young eunuch and whispering a few words.

The little eunuch went out to find a torn rag and stuffed it into Wang Shilang's mouth. Immediately, Wang Shilang's screams turned into a muffled groan.

"How was the investigation into Li Tianchong's drunkenness on the day Jiaxing fell?" Emperor Jiajing asked.

"Back to the Holy Spirit, after investigation, it was found that Li Tianchong, the governor of Zhejiang, had a drinking habit. Sometimes he used wine to drown his sorrows, sometimes he used wine to cheer up, sometimes he drank delicious food with wine, sometimes he drank two glasses of wine, and sometimes he drank too much. On the day of the fall of Jiaxing, Li Tianchong did Shaoxing Nuerhong, which has been open for 50 years, did indeed send the chef from Fuzhong to buy venison and other ingredients, and did drink at home in the evening, but whether he was drunk or not was difficult to verify; in addition, several governors were investigated The officials at the Yamen also confirmed that Li Tianchong smelled of alcohol, but they couldn't tell whether Li Tianchong was drunk or not."

In the main hall, the Minister of Punishment stood up and reported back.

"Is there any investigation by the factory guard?" Emperor Jiajing asked again.

"Li Tianchong did drink that day, but whether he was drunk or not needs further verification." Lu Bing, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, reported back.

"At present, we can only investigate that he drank alcohol, but cannot confirm that he was drunk." Huang Jin also responded.

"There is no need to check anymore! It is enough to find out that he drank alcohol that day. Are there many examples of drinking mistakes in history? Chunyu Qiong lost Wuchao after drinking together, Zhang Fei lost Xuzhou after drinking, and Liu Yao, the former Zhao Dynasty, lost his country after drinking. Even this This time Li Tianchong was not drunk. Next time, and next time, I will give him a good memory this time!"

Emperor Jiajing waved his sleeves and said with an angry expression.

Hearing that Emperor Jiajing wanted to give Li Tianchong a long memory, everyone in the Yan Party couldn't help but look happy.

During this court meeting, although Wang Shilang received a beating from the imperial cane and offended the Holy Emperor, Li Tianchong was going to be in bad luck this time.

In comparison, Qingliu's losses were even greater!

Really been waiting.

The Holy Sage said that Li Tianchong should take a long time to remember and see how to punish Li Tianchong!

"Remove Li Tianchong from the post of censor of Zuo Qiandu and governor of Zhejiang, and demote him to the rank of fifth-grade doctor of Yingtian Military Department!"

Emperor Jiajing announced the punishment for Li Tianchong.

When everyone in the Yan Party heard this, they couldn't help but be overjoyed. Li Tianchong was demoted from a feudal official to a fifth-grade doctor, haha.

"It just so happens that you haven't discussed Zhu Pingan's reward yet. The vacant post of governor of Zhejiang will be taken by Zhu Pingan. Well, Zhu Pingan will be promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of War in Yingtian, and he will be the governor of Zhejiang."

Emperor Jiajing continued.

What? ! Zhu Ping'an was promoted to the right minister of Yingtian Military Department and patrolled Zhejiang? !

boom!

This news was like a thunderbolt, hitting everyone in the Yan Party on the forehead, making them unable to recover for a long time.

This time they shot themselves in the foot! (End of chapter)
