Chapter 2351 Wang Zhang Is in a State of Panic
"Sir, please take a look at this memorial."
Wang Zhang was very angry. He felt that the "tide against Fang" should stop, but the memorial in his hand was still to impeach Fang Xing, and the content was not new. It said that Fang Xing had controlled the Jubaoshan Guard for a long time and had a disobedient heart. .
And there is something even more bizarre about this memorial.
Wang Zhang raised his head and asked, "You said Fang Xing had bad intentions in inventing a new type of firecracker?"
His eyes were indifferent, showing no emotion or anger.
The imperial censor who wrote this memorial said with a straight face: "My lord, that's right. Originally, the Ming Dynasty had an army of millions, and they could check and balance each other everywhere. But as soon as the new firearms came out, 80% to 90% of the Ming Dynasty's army was destroyed. Once someone takes the risk, , Your Majesty is in danger, the Ming Dynasty is in danger.”
Wang Zhang felt that his heart was cold, so he pretended not to care and asked: "Then what do you think should be done?"
The censor blinked his little eyes and said excitedly: "Sir, it's time to cancel and melt all those firearms. From now on, whoever wants to plot rebellion, without firearms, can he still defeat an army of one million people?"
After speaking, he looked at Wang Zhang, who was still indifferent.
Is this approval?
The censor was happy and continued: "Now that the Ming Dynasty has no foreign enemies, why do you still keep those firearms? My lord, I thought it would be better to melt them all, and then I remonstrated with your majesty, collected the scientific books, and burned them all. Yes, it’s all burned!”
When he said this, his little eyes almost burst into flames, as if firearms and science were his sworn enemies.
"Those fallacies and heresies should be banned, and those who have learned science should be exiled overseas. They will not be allowed to come back forever, no, their descendants!"
He couldn't help but become hysterical, and then he felt a little presumptuous, so he handed over his hand and was about to apologize, but he saw Wang Zhang's face turning red.
"Sir, this is your body..."
"roll!"
Wang Zhang suddenly pointed to the door and shouted loudly.
The censor's body trembled, then his cheeks trembled slightly, and he forced a smile and said: "Sir, this is..."
Wang Zhang felt something surging in his chest and his head felt a little dizzy.
He pointed to the door, his voice was lowered, and he said helplessly: "Get out! Get out!"
People outside were attracted by Wang Zhang's voice, and when they saw the censor staggering out of Wang Zhang's room, someone went over and asked: "Master Li, what is your intention to anger Master Wang at this time? "
The censor thought of Wang Zhang's desire to devour others just now, and couldn't help but defended: "It's just a memorial to impeach Fang Xing."
"roll!"
A group of people were preparing to tear each other up internally, but Wang Zhang inside got impatient and shouted again, "Get lost."
"Either you are stupid because of your studies, or you have ulterior motives, like the party and oppose those who are different. What can the Metropolitan Procuratorate like this do? What should I do?"
Wang Zhang felt a little sad, but also a little wary.
He went out and went directly to see Jian Yi.
The person who knows you best must be your opponent.
Jian Yi was at least half of Fang Xing's rival, and the people who knew Fang Xing better were probably the assistant political bachelors, but Wang Zhang didn't want to make the matter known to everyone.
After entering the official department and meeting Jian Yi, who looked indifferent, Wang Zhang told him his intention.
"Master Jian, I have taken the liberty of visiting you. I just want to ask for advice on how Fang Xing will respond."
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
Jian Yi asked, and when Wang Zhang nodded, he said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate has the responsibility to correct the atmosphere, and impeachment is its duty. But this time you have gone too far, but it is consistent with the general trend of public opinion outside. Mr. Wang, The Metropolitan Procuratorate has good eyesight.”
The emperor and Fang Xing teamed up to raid the south, and the gentry were caught off guard and completed the cleanup. From a tactical point of view, everything from planning to action was almost perfect.
Before going to sea, Fang Xing cleared out the generals in the south who had colluded with the gentry and merchants. It seemed unintentional, but when he took action later, he seemed to be particularly far-sighted.
"If Fang Xing hadn't purged the generals stationed in the south, how big would the rebellion in the south have been this time? Can we say hundreds of them in an understatement? One of them is enough to shake people's hearts!"
Jian Yi talked about the joint plan of the emperor and Fang Xingjun and his ministers.
Wang Zhang quickly explained: "Master Jian, there is no collusion between the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the outside world."
Jian Yi said numbly: "I don't know if there are any, and I don't want to ask. I just want to warn you that the Metropolitan Procuratorate should belong to the world, and it should take the supervision of the Ming Dynasty as its own responsibility, instead of rushing to impeach at the instigation of others, let alone If you hold a grudge against someone, you will attack them in groups when you find an opportunity. The Metropolitan Procuratorate is just a tool and will be despised by the emperor sooner or later!"
Look at the censors in the history books. Whether it is the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, or the Song Dynasty, they were manipulated many times. And when caught in a battle of wills, the parties agree more often than they disagree.
Seeing Wang Zhang's confusion, Jian Yi suddenly felt that the Metropolitan Procuratorate was a useless yamen that could only waste food.
Compared with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the emperor obviously trusted Dongchang and Jinyiwei more, and the performance of these two yamen in recent years has indeed been impressive.
No matter how literate officials slander them, the reputations of Dongchang and Jinyiwei are gradually recovering in the eyes of caring people.
Wang Zhang said unwillingly: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate cannot move, otherwise it will destroy the Great Wall if it loses its prestige."
Jian Yi said coldly: "Fang Xing is not a philanthropic person. Whether you attack him in groups or instigate others, once he escapes, Mr. Wang, please tell those people to avoid walking at night in the future, or be careful of getting their legs broken." "
Wang Zhang was frightened and said in disbelief: "He doesn't dare, right? Your Majesty is watching, does he dare to risk the disdain of the world?"
Jian Yi was planning to retire, but the emperor simply refused, saying that he was an old minister of the dynasty and still needed to be relied on. Moreover, the emperor increased his salary and gave him a silver seal engraved with "loyalty, honesty and generosity".
This seal reminded him of Fang Xing's name of magnanimity, but he could not refuse the gift from the emperor, so he had to accept it with a wry smile.
Thinking of this, he lost his patience to deal with Wang Zhang and said, "You are the first day of the month, and if Fang Dehua is the fifteenth, who can say anything?"
Wang Zhang bowed bitterly and left.
Because of the cleanup of the north and the south, the Ministry of Personnel has not reported the specific list of officials from all over the country to the emperor this year, so many officials came to the Ministry of Personnel to make connections, and there were also many documents from the lower officials who were ostensibly reporting their "thoughts" but actually crying out for injustice.
With people coming and going, the Ministry of Personnel was particularly lively.
Wang Zhang could almost compete with Liu Guan in the Censorate, but he could not attract attention in the Ministry of Personnel.
He walked alone in the middle, and officials on both sides greeted each other from time to time.
"Master Ma! Master Ma!"
An official on the left front suddenly rushed over, and when he passed by Wang Zhang, he didn't notice the Right Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate at all.
Wang Zhang turned around and saw Ma Su.
Ma Su frowned at the official and said, "I am only the head of the Ministry of Examination and Rectification, but this lord has found the wrong person."
The Ministry of Examination and Rectification originally had no head, Zhu Zhanji created this new position, and the first person to take it was Ma Su, so it attracted attention.
Wang Zhang also saw Yao Mu farther away.
As a doctor of the Ministry of Examination and Rectification, Yao Mu did not have the pleasure of holding power.
He looked indifferently at his direct subordinate Ma Su who coldly rejected the official's request, and then saw Wang Zhang.
His mouth opened slightly, squeezed out a smile, then arched his hands at Wang Zhang and walked slowly over.
"Sir Wang, are you here to do something? Have you done it? If it's tricky, I can help ask."
Yao Mu was very polite, but Wang Zhang found that he couldn't even force out a fake smile, and just wanted to go home and have a good sleep.
Feeling mentally exhausted, Wang Zhang bowed and said, "Nothing, Sir Yao is polite."
"Sir Wang, please don't be polite."
Yao Mu exchanged a few polite words with him, and Ma Su over there also dealt with the official who wanted to get close to him and came over to pay his respects.
"Hello, Sir Yao, hello, Sir Wang."
Although Wang Zhang's official rank was higher, Ma Su still greeted Yao Mu first according to the rules, and was very calm.
Yao Mu said coldly: "This year's examination must be done as soon as possible, and the lord needs to prepare."
Ma Su bowed and responded, and then prepared to go back.
Wang Zhang was in a terrible mood today because he encountered obstacles everywhere and trouble everywhere.
He suddenly called Ma Su, and then said: "Impeachment is just impeachment after all. We still have to carefully distinguish what will happen and wait for your majesty's decision."
