When Zhu Youtang left the palace, he naturally wanted to get in touch with some different things.
He also wants to live a normal life.
What Zhang Zhou has to do is to satisfy the emperor's alternative spiritual needs. This kind of food is like whole grains. It is okay to eat occasionally, but he will definitely not be able to bear it if he eats it all the time.
“I can’t say what God’s omens are, and I can’t say them.”
“But if Your Majesty is worried, why not wait until things are about to happen and the omens are clearer, and I can tell you again.” Let me explain it in detail to Your Majesty."
Originally, Zhu Youtang thought that Zhang Zhou could explain it.
The result was just to deal with him.
Zhu Youtang sighed, "I also know that I shouldn't be too impatient, but if this is bigger than the earthquake, then I will be sad."
The emperor is also most afraid of being hanged. With appetite.
Xiao Jing on the side also advised, "Mr. Zhang, you were so good at predicting things before, so you can't reveal more."
Zhang Zhou shook his head.
Now Zhu Youtang could no longer forcefully ask.
When Zhang Zhou went out to arrange the project for the storyteller, Xiao Jing did not forget to remind Zhu Youtang, "Your Majesty, this Mr. Zhang has always been straightforward. Maybe it's just Eunuch Dai who is overly worried." "I hope so." Zhu Youtang said, "I don't want the Zhang family to be associated with God's warning."
Xiao Jing understood immediately. .
The emperor was also afraid that the Zhang brothers would follow in Li Guang's footsteps. Li Guang, the biggest worm in the Ming Dynasty, was killed because of God's warning. The emperor also knew how much he indulged the Zhang brothers. , if this is involved again
Zhu Youtang did not spend the night at Zhang Zhou's house that night.
He went to the nearest official office.
After returning to the palace the next day, Zhu Youtang rested in the back hall of Qianqing Palace.
Dai Yi hurriedly called Xiao Jing to the duty room of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. At this time, Xiao Jing looked tired.
"That Mr. Zhang didn't say specifically what happened."
Dai Yi was a little surprised when he learned about what happened last night.
If Zhang Zhou wants to interfere with the emperor’s family affairs, then this is the best opportunity. What better opportunity than the emperor personally coming to inquire?
Xiao Jing said, “About those two matters. Gua, Mr. Zhang really didn’t say anything. But he still vaguely felt that this matter was related to the Zhang family’s relatives.” Dai Yi shook his head and said, “If the Zhang family brothers are doing evil, God has given a warning. Unless the next lightning strikes the Zhang family's house or the ancestral hall, it will easily burn the victim."
"What Eunuch Dai means"
Xiao Jing figured it out. Some flavor.
Dai Yi patted him on the shoulder, "Isn't Mr. Zhang afraid that this association will harm himself?"
Xiao Jing completely understood now.
Everyone would think that the fire in Qingning Palace was God’s warning to the emperor that he should not trust Li Guang, and it was Li Guang’s fault.superior.
If the next omen is also such a non-directional event, such as another attack on the Qing Palace, then others will not say that this is because the emperor favored Zhang Zhou
Zhang Zhouke will be trapped in his own cocoon by then
The Lantern Festival is over.
The ten-day holiday for the courtiers ended, and that day was the first day after the morning dynasty resumed.
In the court, the courtiers had no restrictions and immediately opened fire on Zhu Youtang.
Two things.
One is preparing for war in the northwest, and the other is that Peng Quan, the commander of the Jianchang Guard, participated in the impeachment of Zhang Yanling and was sentenced to prison.
Peng Quan just issued an order. People estimate that they have just started on the road. From Shu to the capital, even if they are in a hurry, a month will be enough.
Civil ministers are very fond of military generals like Peng Quan who dare to remonstrate directly. A lot of them spoke for him in the court, and some ministers directly told the court about the Zhang brothers' misdeeds in the past two years.
In the past, Zhu Youtang would get angry after hearing this.
When he heard this, he felt that these were all reserved programs for ministers, traditional performing arts projects, so he was not surprised.
Anyway, if you have nothing to do, just set up a target and hit it yourself
Zhu Youtang was thinking that the pattern of literati, compared with Zhang Zhou's, even seemed a bit petty.
Looking at Bingkuan, he clearly had the opportunity to attack the Zhang family, but he never mentioned a word.
Zhu Youtang was not worried about another thing that the ministers talked about, which was preparations for war in the northwest. On the contrary, he was a little "pleased".
Previously, the emperor was a little annoyed because Liu Jian greeted the ministers, but the ministers kept silent about it.
Now the emperor understands clearly that Liu Jian probably just asked the ministers not to talk about it at the court meeting before Xiu Mu, so as to prevent the situation from becoming known to outsiders and disrupting the emperor's layout in the northwest.
Although I still have concerns about this now, it is much better than before.
"My dear friends, the strengthening of defense in Xuanfu Town is the result of my careful consideration. If you have any objections to this, I do not blame you, but if you have something to do, you can only say it in the court. No one is allowed to do so after retreating from the court. There will be further discussion. If you have any questions, please report them to me and I will personally answer them."
Zhu Youtang deliberately referred to Piantou Pass as Xuanfu, which was actually disturbing the audience.
He also reminded the ministers present.
I don’t blame you for mentioning it here.
But if anyone in the imperial court says anything that ultimately leads to the Ming Dynasty’s preparations for war being leaked, I will definitely hold them accountable.
The ministers did not take it seriously.
If it really leaks out, the Tatars will not come, which is exactly what we want.
Even if you become the emperor, you will be able to find out who is responsible for this. Anyway, so many people know about it
Tu Fu, the Minister of Civil Affairs, came out and said, "Your Majesty, it is said that there is someone. The alchemist made false claims and mentioned the military situation in the northwest, which prompted the court to strengthen its vigilance.. Please ask your majesty to send this person to prison for questioning to see if he has any ulterior motives."
Zhu Youtang frowned when he heard this.
You just got a scar from the slaughter. This is forgetfulness. It hurts.
I didn’t hold you accountable for the flirting you had with Li Guang, and now you actually want me to look into Bingkuan, whom I trust.
What did you do? It's a bit too much to show the so-called civil servants' direct remonstrance. Previously, I was still interceding with others, so I didn't pursue you eunuchs.
Zhu Youtang said coldly, "Do you still remember the previous meeting in Before the earthquake in Henan, I once said, don't use so-called evil words to punish people in advance? You can't wait until after it happens to make a decision, let alone a person who can accurately predict earthquakes, even if I accidentally listened to him What’s wrong with the suggestion?”
“Ah”
The ministers present were in an uproar.
The emperor said this, which was tantamount to indirectly admitting that it was indeed because he listened to After listening to the words of the alchemists, there was a series of military developments in the northwest.
Could it be that the Ming Dynasty had to listen to the Taoist priests to carry out military layout?
If this is not a disaster for the country and the people, what else can it do? It is worthy of being called "Your Majesty"
The group of scientific officials suddenly became excited, and six or seven people were about to come out and kneel down to remonstrate with Zhu. Youtang sternly said "That's enough"
This sound was like a loud bell, and its deterrence was several notches higher than the weak words before.
"I am sending troops from the northwest. , or the troops and horses have been switched to defend the northwest, but they are just defending against foreign barbarians as usual, and I need you to remind me that this matter ends here."
The emperor was too lazy to explain to this group of people.
Even people like Ma Wensheng and Liu Jian had concerns when they first knew that he was going to use Zhang Zhou's suggestions to carry out the military layout in the northwest. But later, with their foresight, they also saw that this was just a military plan in the northwest. The normal operation of the system.
Wang Yue did not send troops. Why should the emperor fully adopt the opinions of the ministers on the development and defense of the northwest?
But these censors seemed to I only saw the article "The emperor listened to the words of the alchemist", but did not see the deeper intention behind it.
So the emperor became impatient.
Liu Jian, as the chief assistant, fell silent. After a whole scene, he finally couldn't help but come out and said, "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of commanding Peng Quan of the Jianchang Guard, please give your Majesty another thought. If he is allowed to come to the capital easily, Xichuan's defense cannot be strengthened, I'm afraid "Will"
Zhu Youtang said, "I just brought the person to the capital to inquire. Does Liu Ge always want to intercede for him?"
Liu Jiandao, "If someone reports Your Majesty will expose other people's crimes without asking the reason. If you send the exposer to jail, you will only encourage his evildoing. ”
Zhu Youtang asked, “Does it mean that I will also imprison Jianchang Bo, so that it meets your intention? Come here first today”
Originally, it was after a vacation that day. In the first court meeting, there are many important things to discuss.
Yes.Just because Northwest Yongbing and Peng Quan reported Zhang Yanling, this court meeting ended in failure.
The monarch and his ministers seemed to be separated on bad terms, but that was nothing.
After the court meeting, as expected, the three cabinet ministers were surrounded by a group of ministers. Now no one seemed to want to leave, and they all wanted to know what Liu Jian thought about these two matters. Any guidance.
Li Dongyang said, "If you have any opinions, please report more and speak less, and your opinions will be heard by the saints."
Xie Qian also smiled and said, "After this afternoon At the door, just pretend that this is not the case."
Tu Fu asked, "What about Peng Quan, the commander of the Jianchang Guards? He just submitted a memorial to impeach Jianchang Bo for his crimes. Why should he be punished and held accountable?" < /p>
We haven’t done anything to the Zhang brothers yet. He is a military general as big as a sesame seed and a mung bean from the Jianchang Guard. How can he show off his abilities and pretend to be cowardly?
“Your Majesty’s move, isn’t it? He said that if there is any evil behavior in the court in the future, others will let it go."
"We cannot let this happen again."
"Jointly submit a petition asking Your Majesty to pardon Peng Quan's crime. , and investigate the relatives of the Zhang family."
A group of people went out in anger. Liu Jian glanced over there, and they were all a group of officials who had just entered the court a few years ago.
I have the guts, but I still can’t open up the pattern.
A group of people finally dispersed.
Before they could even take a few steps out of the Meridian Gate, Yuan Shouzhi, the general envoy, appeared in front of the three cabinet ministers with some worry.
"Liang Bi, what's the matter?" Liu Jian asked.
Yuan Shouzhi deliberately waited until a group of people had walked out and there was no one around to listen before he said, "Last night, the Director of Ceremonies just transferred a batch of memorials from the General Affairs Department. One of them was written by Jiang Rongcan, a student of the Imperial College. The three cabinet ministers stopped talking. It is said that His Majesty sent Jiang Rong to prison last night."
"What?"
Liu Jian was stunned on the spot.
I was just mentioning to the emperor that the reporter cannot be questioned just because someone reports someone else’s wrongdoing.
Now, people in their cabinet are also involved in this kind of thing, and they instantly become perpetrators. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
