Just when Zhang Zhou was teaching Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Youtang attended the court meeting at the Meridian Gate and listened to the quarrels among the ministers.
Hu Xian, the supervisory censor, is intervening in the bribery case of Li Guang. "I have reported that among the officials, Li Guangjin, the traffic eunuch, is employed. Although Li Guang is dead, his books are still there, such as the Zuo Du Yu Shi Tujun was promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Wang Yueqi, the censor of the Xianzhu capital, was promoted to the censor of the left capital, and Li Hui, the deputy censor of the right capital, was promoted to the censor of the right capital. As ministers, these three led others to commit treachery. , it is better to correct his crime first, and then punish him in sequence."
Although Li Guang has passed away.
But there are many people who want to make a big fuss out of Li Guang's death.
In the middle period of Hongzhi, the positions of the Six Ministers and Nine Ministers were the most stable in the court. The positions of the Six Ministers did not change year after year, forming a solidified position. The lower-level officials saw no hope and finally seized the opportunity. Of course you have to go all out.
Zhu Youtang said coldly, "Didn't I say that this matter will be investigated by Dongchang?"
The military department came out to Ai Hong and said, "Your Majesty, if this case is not investigated, When the truth comes out, this will definitely be the beginning of the evil deeds. It is difficult to investigate the crime under the law. It should be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for investigation and punishment, so that the whole world can be brought to justice."
"The Ministry of Punishment. "Zhu Youtang said coldly.
Bai Ang, the Minister of Punishment, came out and said, "Your Majesty, I am old and sick. Please beg me to return to my fields."
At this time, Bai Ang was not stupid.
I myself may be listed in that book. Do you want me to check myself?
While there are not many people impeaching me, I won’t find a way out of the sea of misery quickly. Is it really going to fall into the hands of you, a group of science and education officials, and become notorious from now on?
Tu Jian came out and argued, "I begged the officer to search for Li Guang's books and investigate. If there is a name for the minister, I will be Ling Chi." He was executed to express his gratitude to the official, but if there was none, he also begged to clear his name and clear his name, so that he would not be falsely accused and tarnish his reputation."
Tu Yun was also anxious.
What he means is, aren't you trying to impeach me?
I will ask your Majesty to check Li Guang's book. If my name is really there, I will ask Lingchi to be executed. If not, please clear the record for me.
Tu Feng was not aimless.
When Li Guang just died, no one was more nervous than him, but as the emperor handed the case to Dongchang, Dongchang didn't even ask him, which made Tu Yu feel that Li Guang should not have died. So stupid, he shouldn't record the details of the bribery by name. Besides, the person is dead, and some things can be denied.
Anyway, the first assistant Liu Jian encouraged him to do this.
Now he feels that Li Guang most likely has not remembered him, and the "Lingchi execution" is obviously more convincing, and the people who eat melons will think that he has a clear conscience. Dare you say that.
This passage is also the original words of Tu Fu recorded in the records of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Youtang became even more angry after hearing this.
You, Tu Tong, are you seeking death yourself? You didn’t give Li Guang a gift, you didn’t know what to do
But Zhu Youtang listened to Zhang Zhou’s wordsI went in and didn't have any seizures.
But this was not the only thing that made him angry. It would be okay if he only participated in the impeachment of Tu Fu, Wang Yue and Li Hui. Even Xu Jing, the Minister of Household Affairs, was also included in the impeachment.
In the end, Zhu Youtang was afraid that the situation would become unmanageable and he ended the court meeting hastily.
"Cough cough cough"
Walking back from the Meridian Gate, Zhu Youtang kept coughing.
Xiao Jing walked over and said, "Your Majesty, you'd better take the chariot. Your health is important."
"Ahem, I'm fine. You guys should talk about it. They are all arguing about what I put." Isn't it too early to hold him accountable?"
Zhu Youtang sounded a little annoyed, probably because he felt that these people were bullying him because he was ignorant and easy to bully.
Dai Yi hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, maybe those ministers are more loyal and upright."
"Zhongzhi can even say what he said to invite Ling Chi. Xiao Jing, go and get that booklet." , show it to the cabinet ministers, and then take it back to me and let them figure it out."
Dai Yi, Xiao Jing and others immediately saw it.
The emperor was not irritating the officials, but perhaps he felt that the officials were fulfilling their duties.
What the emperor was angry about was that Tu Fu thought that he was not on the list, so he dared to boast about his high status in the court and said that "if he has the name of the minister, he will be executed by Ling Chi".
Just because I am tolerant to you does not mean that you can use my tolerance to show your integrity.
So I will now show the "books" that you have been thinking about to the three cabinet members to see with their own eyes whether you are really listed on it.
At the same time, I want to tell you that I just don’t care about you.
"Yes." Xiao Jing accepted the order.
Dai Yi also looked at him with strange eyes.
Up to now, except for Zhu Youtang and Xiao Jing who have read the entire booklet, Zhang Zhou may have read the entire book at most, and Dai Yi, Chen Kuan and Wei Bin have only read it. I glanced at the title page a few times, and then Xiao Jing relayed it.
They also wanted to know which ministers were involved, and whether everyone in the court was involved
"Where is the prince?" Zhu Youtang was in a bad mood, and suddenly I thought of something and asked.
Xiao Jing was about to go to Qianqing Palace to pick up the book. Hearing this, he replied, "Your Majesty, today is the day when Zhang Jieyuan enters the palace to teach the prince. I guess he has arrived now."
"Okay. , you all perform your duties, Dai Yi, come with me to the Wenhua Hall, I want to see if Bingkuan is teaching seriously."
At this time, Zhu Youtang probably felt that only Go and see how Zhang Zhou teaches his son, so that you can feel more relaxed and even have some expectations.
The cabinet is valued.
When Xiao Jing arrived, the three cabinet members were still discussing court affairs together, and what they were talking about was the Li Guang case mentioned in the court hall.
When they learned that Xiao Jing was coming, the three of them went to the door to greet him.
"Three pavilion elders, this is your Majesty's request.We will forward it to our family and only ask a few people to take a look at it. After a while of burning incense, we will bring the original thing back. "Xiao Jing took out the booklet in which Li Guang recorded bribery.
Liu Jian refused to take it, so Li Dongyang took it on his behalf.
Xie Qian asked, "What is this?"
p>
Xiao Jing smiled bitterly and did not answer.
After Li Dongyang opened the booklet, the three ministers took a breath. Although the content was a bit obscure, they could still tell that this was. A roster recording bribes.
On the first page, Tu Jian is clearly listed.
"In the third month of the year Bingchen, Renzi accepted the title of censor of Zuodu. Tu Jian, twenty shi of yellow rice and 650 shi of white rice. On Ji Mao in the sixth month of the year Bingchen, add five hundred shi of white rice."
The record was so detailed that even Liu Jian, who knew about Tu Jian's gift in advance, was surprised.
Liu Jian was heartbroken. Embarrassing.
Chaozong clearly said that he had to give gifts for the operation of the ministry, but this is not the case in the record. Bingchen year happened to be the year when he became the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It can be said that this was not him. Bribery to get an official position
His Majesty has made it clear that if someone gets an official position by befriending and bribing Li Guang, he needs to be dismissed. Why do you, Tu Fu, think that your gift-giving is more noble than others'? /p>
Li Dongyang was very fast. After flipping through a few pages, he looked up at Xiao Jing and said, "Eunuch Xiao, what does your Majesty mean?"
Xiao Jing said, "Your Majesty's intention is not to let the situation get worse." Rather than punishing anyone, we also asked three cabinet elders to mediate to eliminate the impact of this matter. As for the others, I’m sorry that it’s difficult for us to describe them in detail. ”
Because there was only one stick of incense to flip through the book, the three of them could not write it all down, but Li Dongyang still tried his best to keep the people and things listed above in mind.
This is equivalent to a book of guilt, held in the hands of the emperor, who can be dealt with at any time.
It belongs to the art of controlling ministers.
"Three of you, you have finished reading. Well, our family was ordered to take it back. Li Ge Lao"
Li Dongyang had just read the last page and had no choice but to hand the book back.
Xiao Jing said nothing more, took the book, saluted and left.< /p>
When they left, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian looked at Liu Jian at the same time, meaning that Liu Jian would make the decision.
Liu Jian sighed, "Actually, I knew about this and even talked to him in private. Eunuch Xiao talked about it. "
"Why didn't your Majesty mention it before?" Li Dongyang went straight to the topic.
"It's not that I didn't mention it, but someone came up and urged your Majesty to suppress the matter. Liu Jian said.
Li Dongyang asked "who"
Liu Jian sighed and said, "It is Zhang Bingkuan, the student of Nanyong Gong who predicted the disaster in Qingning Palace." According to what Eunuch Xiao said, after Li Guang's death, he and Zhang Bingkuan found this record in the Li Mansion. Later, Zhang Bingkuan petitioned his majesty to dissuade his majesty from minimizing the big deal on the grounds that the situation should not be expanded, which was adopted by his majesty after careful consideration. "
Even Li Dongyang was shocked and said, "This Zhang Bingkuan is really not simple. ”
Thank youQian Ye sighed with emotion, "Jiangnan Jieyuan has such a mind that takes the overall situation into consideration. Could it be that he also calculated the questions in the Jiangnan Township Examination?"
Liu Jian did not want to answer this groundless speculation.
Xie Qian added, "What about that? I will go see Tu Chaozong to explain the matter."
"No"
Liu Jian immediately rejected the proposal , "Chaozong said so full things in court. If you let him know, how will he behave among the courtiers? Your Majesty did not expose it on the spot, which meant that he did not intend to hold him accountable, or he thought that Li Guang was dead. Ta Nai His one-sided words are not credible. At this time, it is our responsibility to calm down the situation in the court."
"Let's put down what we are doing and go around each office. , to dissuade officials from talking about Li Guang's conspirators."
Li Dongyang asked, "What about the Qingning Palace disaster?"
Liu Jian nodded, "That's okay." /p>
Zhu Youtang took Dai Yi and a few followers and walked all the way to Wenhua Hall.
This time there was not even a eunuch watching outside the Wenhua Palace, because Zhu Houzhao was playing openly inside. It was rare that Zhu Houzhao was so stubborn and ignored his father.
When Zhu Youtang entered the back hall of Wenhua Hall.
Gao Feng, who was watching the excitement on the side, felt a hand fall on his shoulder. He turned around suddenly and saw Zhu Youtang standing in front of him with a stern look on his face.
"Don't make any noise"
Zhu Youtang looked at the large group of people inside, and the loudest among them was his son, "What are you doing?"
< p>In the back hall of Wenhua Hall, dozens of tables are being placed together, and there are dozens of strange-looking wooden boards put together. On the wooden boards, there are paper The boxes are erected to look like mountains, there are mountainous sandy areas made of sand and gravel, and there are also the outlines of cities made of simple clay.There is also something that looks like a clay figurine, or a horse riding a horse. , or holding spears, accompanied by various strange and marked flags, stuck on this large spliced wooden pallet.
Gao Feng replied softly, "Your Majesty, Zhang Jieyuan said, this is called a sand table exercise."
Zhu Youtang said with a straight face, "I told you that I was here to teach, why?" Just playing with the sandbox"
Even if Zhu Youtang thought his son was having fun, he still couldn't help but take a few more glances when he saw such a spectacular "sandbox drill".
At this time, Zhu Houzhao was still shouting, "My three troops have surrounded your troops in the isolated city. It seems that I will win."
< p>No longer opens his mouth to say "I am" and shuts "I am". Zhu Houzhao looks domineering, but he seems to be more approachable.This made Zhu Youtang feel that his son had made some progress.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Your Highness, please don't tell me too early. There is still an ambush on my side, which has not yet been uncovered. Do you know what kind of troops I have on this side? Eunuch Liu, please announce it."
p>Liu Jin picked up the card on the side, corresponding to the number of the flag, but said in surprise, "TooYour Highness, Zhang Jieyuan only deployed 300 light cavalry and 600 infantry here, which are much fewer than your siege troops. Your Highness, the Crown Prince, can seize the city.
Zhang Zhou said, "Eunuch Liu, you understand the rules. If you are not to besiege a city, you must have three times more troops to have a chance of winning. If a war breaks out, the loss ratio will be one to three. Your Highness, are you sure to use your force?" Now the troops are attacking my isolated city."
Zhu Houzhao was like a tactician, he chuckled and said, "I can lay siege to the city for reinforcements, but I don't believe that you have enough food, grass and supplies in the city. Liu Jin, tell me how much food and grass he has in the city."
As a judge, Liu Jin continued to read the records in the book and said, "Six hundred stones can last for ten days. "
Zhu Houzhao said proudly, "Then my troops will be stationed here for ten days to see if you send reinforcements. If you send reinforcements, I will attack your left city. If you don’t send it, I will wait for you to run out of food and grass, and then attack the city and attack your hungry soldiers. What will the battle loss ratio be then?"
Liu Jin said happily, "Five to one. "
Zhang Zhou said with regret, "It seems that I can only find opportunities to break out."
Zhu Houzhao said, "Your three hundred light cavalry may run away if they move three steps a day, but your six hundred infantry can only move one step a day. My heavy cavalry, which takes two steps a day, will defend them." You have to die, it depends on how you run." Please remember to bookmark it.
