Chapter 792 ding ji

The government process of this dynasty is not complicated. Local officials have a memorial to submit to the cabinet through various ministries, and then the cabinet will submit it to Zhengde. After Zhengde's approval, the memorial will be fed back to the cabinet. If the cabinet has no objection, it can follow the holy will to implement it. If there is any objection, it needs to be communicated again or decided through the court.

That is to say, even the folds played by local officials, the emperor can see it with his own eyes. Sun Sui, the governor of Jiangxi, wrote seven times about the memorials of King Ning, but Zhengde did not respond, which is extremely unusual.

If Liu Jin was in power, this matter should be understandable, because at that time, the memorials submitted by the cabinet were generally approved by the director of the ceremony, and Zhengde was also happy and leisurely. Liu Jin did a lot of things that covered the sky in private. But now Zhang Yong, the head of the ceremony supervisor, dare not do this. He absolutely dares not intercept the memorials submitted by the cabinet. Song Nan has communicated with Zhang Yong on this matter and warned him not to follow Liu Jin's footsteps and take a low profile first. Zhang Yong is also deeply convinced.

However, it is only possible that there is a problem in the procedure of the whole process. Either the department did not report to the cabinet, or the cabinet did not submit the memorial to the emperor. There is basically no possibility of intercepting the ministries. It is very likely that someone in the cabinet privately intercepted the memorial about King Ning.

In the cabinet, Yang Tinghe, the first assistant, is the one who leads the decision on all matters. With Song Nan's understanding of Yang Tingyu, Yang Tinghe is not stupid enough to do this matter. From the secret investigation of Jinyiwei, it can be seen that in fact, Yang Ting and Ning Wang maintain a considerable distance, and the relationship between the two is not close. Cut.

In fact, Yang Ting and he did not buy King Ning's account at all, which can be seen from the secret battle for the emperor's heirs. If Yang Ting and the King of Ning are a dragonfly, how can they not help Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, seek his son to succeed him as the prince, but instead come up with a candidate. Zhu Houxuan is more suitable than the son of King Ning in terms of blood relationship and character.

So who in the cabinet has the courage to intercept these unfavorable memorials for King Ning? In fact, it is not difficult to determine this person. The division of labor in the cabinet is clear, and there is only one person responsible for summarizing the memorial affairs of various ministries. That is Liang Chu, a scholar of Huagaidian University and minister of the Ministry of Officials. He is counted as the second person in the cabinet. If Song Nan was not very impressed with this person before, Song Nan had already targeted him when he knew that he had a close relationship with the Empress Dowager and was one of the first people to know about moral infertility.

This gentleman was one of the participants as early as when the Empress Dowager asked Lu Zhen to diagnose and treat Zhengde's infertility. Later, Song Nan's trip to Nanjing learned that King Ning knew about Zhengde's infertility. At that time, Song Nan had suspected that someone in the cabinet informed King Ning. It was almost certain that Liang Chu had been doubting. People.

In fact, the whole matter can be consistent. Although Liang Chu was promoted to the cabinet by Yang Tinghe, it is reasonable to be called Yang Ting and his best friend, but in fact, Song Nan has also heard of the contradictions in the cabinet. In the cabinet, Yang Tinghe and Fei Hong are absolute best friends. Fei Hong has no scheming. Obviously, he relies on Yang Tinghe to get things done, and his desire for power is not high. Because of this, he can win the trust of Yang Tinghe. Yang Tinghe is said to be extremely arbitrary in the cabinet. Basically, Liu Zhong and Jin Gui are submissive people who only focus on specific affairs. There is no contradictions with Yang Tinghe, but Liang Chu is different. He often blushes in the cabinet with Yang Tinghe Dingding. In private, some people hear Yang Ting and Liang Chu scold him for not knowing whether to advance or retreat. Looking at Gao Yunyun, it is impossible not to reach Liang Chu's ears.

If Liang Chu has a desire for power, but the position of the chief auxiliary of the cabinet is unattainable, and his position in the cabinet is becoming more and more dangerous, this selection of imperial heirs is an excellent opportunity for him. Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, only needs to communicate with Liang Chu, and the two will get along immediately. If the son of King Ning becomes the lord of the future Ming Dynasty, there is no doubt that Liang Chu will become the head of the future foreign court. In this case, it is also logical for the two to collude with each other.

Originally, Song Nan didn't want to say these words, but somehow, Song Nan had an inexplicable absolute trust in Mr. Yang Ming. One of the plans in his heart needed to be implemented with the help of Mr. Yang Ming, so Song Nan unreservedly revealed the above-mentioned internal affairs.

Wang Shouren was only slightly surprised, and then returned to normal. He nodded and said, "The analysis of the prince is very reasonable. I'm afraid that Liang University is really the person who intercepted the memorial. Hey, I didn't expect that the emperor was still there, and everyone had begun to compete for the future power. It's really incredible. But what is the prince going to do? Do you want to thoroughly investigate this matter or report it to the emperor? If this matter is not handled well, it will cause great chaos in the court.

Song Nan looked at Wang Shouren and said, "Lord Wang, I came here to visit you today. I not only admire you as a great scholar in the world, but also heard that you are honest. Lord Wang's performance in front of the Qianqing Palace has been a model who dares to stand up and take responsibility. Later, when I secretly investigated the matter of King Ning, I learned that Lord Wang was also secretly investigating Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning. I felt more and more that you and I were loyal to the same people of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Shouren touched his nose and said to himself: How did you become a fellow traveler with me? But today, when I saw a great change in my outlook on Song Nan, I didn't say anything. I just listened to Song Nan continue.

Song Nan said, "Lord Wang knows so much about the inside story, but he can't report it to the court. My personal guess is that first, I'm afraid that the memorial will sink into the sea like Sun Sui played. Second, I'm afraid that these hidden feelings are only heard, and there is no real evidence. If you report it rashly, I'm afraid it will set yourself on fire."

Wang Shouren smiled and said, "What the prince said is basically true, but I'm not worried about causing a fire, but I'm afraid of beating the grass and frightening the snake. Without real evidence, it's not enough to support the matter. I just want to collect evidence as much as I can and then find a machine to discuss it in court."

Song Nan pointed out and praised: "It's a plan and then move. This is the general's demeanor. Sun Sui can't calm down. I'm afraid he has already shocked the snake. I have a proposal. I don't know if Lord Wang can agree.

"But that's what the prince said."

"Since you and I all know the ambition of King Ning Langzi, and now he is seeking the throne of heir, it is to seize the Ming Dynasty without blood. Although he is also a descendant of Taizu, his son is qualified to become the future lord of the Ming Dynasty, but if such a person lets him hold power, the future of the Ming Dynasty will not be better. Where to go? How about you and I work together to stop this, expose its conspiracy in the sun, and expose the true face of its wolf ambition in one fell swoop?

Wang Shouren suddenly got up and arched his hand and said, "I'm sorry, but it's not easy for me to do this matter. Now he has supporters in the cabinet and palace. Both Liang Chu and the Empress Dowager have a good impression of him. The relationship between the emperor and King Ning is not ordinary. Most of the officials in Jiangxi and other places are attached to him. Does the Duke of the country plan to be Did the court expose him?"

Song Nan shook her head and said, "Naturally, you can't do this. Again, he is the prince surnamed Zhu. If you want to impeach a prince, it is not a simple thing. This matter must obtain absolute evidence and let the emperor make a decision in person, but you and I don't move. If you are able to move, if you are not careful, you will die without a place to be buried.

Wang Shouren frowned and said, "Is the prince going to start with the detention of the memorial?"

Song Nan shook her head and said, "No, as Lord Wang said, once I start to investigate this matter, I will be directly involved in cabinet affairs, which is equivalent to reminding Zhu Chenhao to be careful. Lord Wang should have noticed that in recent months, especially during the period of seeking the heir of the emperor, Jiangxi has been calm and bandits. It rarely happens. I believe that Zhu Chenhao deliberately stopped what he did to ensure that there were no mistakes when the son of King Ning sought to obtain an imperial heir.

Wang Shouren nodded and said, "That's true. My opinion is in collusion with the prince."

Song Nan continued, "What's more, what if Liang Chu found the evidence of the memorial? If Liang Chu is not a fool, he will bite him as a result of negligence, and will never admit his private collusion with King Ning; because as long as King Ning does not fall, he will have the opportunity to make a comeback. Once the son of King Ning successfully becomes the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, his Liang Chu will have a chance to reverse the case. Therefore, it is impossible to start from here.

Wang Shouren frowned and nodded, "This doesn't work, and that doesn't work. What on earth does the Grandpa want to do?"

Song Nan stood at the door of the hall with his hands behind his back, looked up at the sky, thought for a while, and turned around and said, "The embankment of thousands of miles was destroyed in the ant nest. The seemingly unbreakable fortress is actually just the strength of its appearance. We don't have to attack the indestructible place. On the contrary, it may work wonders to start small.

Wang Shouren said, "How do you say this?"

Song Nan said, "I heard that there are bandits rampant in the south of Jiangxi led by Lord Wang? How about I take someone to accompany Lord Wang to suppress the bandits?

Wang Shouren was stunned and said, "Sumpress the bandits?"

Song Nan smiled and said, "Yes. Aren't Yang Qing, Li Fu, Wang Ru and others rampant? Even Lord Wang can't destroy them. I'm willing to help. I think Yang Qing, Li Fu, Wang Ru and other bandits are not loyal and filial. There are some things that may be known from them.

Wang Shouren was stunned, and suddenly slapped each other and said, "Wonderful, this is a wonderful plan."

Song Nan looked back at the gloomy sky and muttered to herself, "Also, it's time for a group of brothers from Nanchang Jinyiwei Yamen to greet them. If they still have some eyesight, they should know that I'm not going to visit the mountains and rivers."
