Zhu Youtang asked the minister to make up his mind on the way to punish Zhang Yanling.
It is purely a matter of forcing others to make things difficult.
Every one of these civil servants was eager to suffocate Zhang Yanling with a stick. This would not only reflect the political correctness of the civil servants, but also relieve their anger.
You also want us to balance the interests between the monarch and his ministers and find a compromise
Your Majesty, you think too much.
The court meeting ended almost unhappy.
As the courtiers walked out of the palace, Bai Ang, the Minister of Punishment, Min Gui, the Yushi of Zuodu, and Wang Shi, the Minister of Dali Temple, hurriedly chased Liu Jian and Xie Qian. They wanted to ask for instructions. I would like to ask the cabinet ministers for their opinions on this matter.
"The punishment must be fair." Xie Qian said with a smile.
Zhang Yanling was cured by the emperor
In Xie Qian's view, it was a great thing that everyone celebrated. No matter what happened, at least the result was very satisfactory.
Wang Shi said, "But it seems that Your Majesty doesn't know much about the evil things done by Zhang's relatives. Do you want to find someone to tell you about the evil things done by Shouning Marquis and Jianchang Bo in the past few years?" , presented together."
"Jian Changbo is Jian Changbo, why is Shouning Marquis involved?" Xie Qian was still laughing.
You guys.
It is not easy for the emperor to punish the second eldest son of the Zhang family. Now you want to take advantage of the situation and bring the eldest son of the Zhang family into Jianchangwei and other places for disturbing people's livelihood. Expand
Bai Ang asked, "Does that mean, don't get involved in the past?"
Xie Qian looked at Liu Jian first and found that Liu Jian had nothing to say, then he nodded and made a decision The affirmative answer was "It's natural."
Bai Ang continued to ask, "Then how should we judge the crime?"
He then returned to the court and discussed it with the emperor for a long time, but to no avail. question.
Xie Qian wanted to say that if Jian Changbo's crime was so easy to discuss, he wouldn't have been a little unhappy with His Majesty before. Now that the court meeting is over, he came to ask us because he thinks we have some ways. I'm embarrassed to mention the method in front of His Majesty, but I want to stab Zhang Yanling in the back.
"Let's discuss it later." Well, it would be more in line with justice if he could be transferred to the Criminal Department Prison. Even Peng Quan has not arrived in the capital yet. The Judicial Department cannot take over the details of the case now, so why rush it?"
Obviously from the perspective of these civil servants, there is no need I have considered the option of letting Zhang Yanling go to the northwest to "pay for his crimes and perform meritorious services."
Is Zhang Yanling the material to lead troops? Going to the northwest will harm the military and politics of the northwest.
Besides, there is impunity. Let him go to the northwest to lead troops. This will actually become a reward. It’s called unclear rewards and punishments
Liu Jian finally expressed his position: “Recently, there are officials who have complained about their relatives’ political chaos. There is no need to stop them, but whoever files the report will bear the consequences of the report. This matter will be discussed in the near future.”< /p>
"Mr. Liu Ge, do you know anything?" Wang Shi asked.
Liu Jian shook his head, expressing his ignorance.
But with his political wisdom, it was difficult not to see that the emperor actually had a final decision in his mind, but he just didn't say it in the court.
The ministers have not achieved what His Majesty expected.
In Kunning Palace.
The emperor returned here for the first time in many days, and it was also after the Zhang Yanling matter was concluded. At least now Zhu Youtang is very tough in front of his wife.
Look, even God has warned me. I am not deliberately trying to embarrass you Zhang family.
"Your Majesty, how do you plan to deal with the matter of prolonging life? It's his fault." Queen Zhang had been neglected by her husband for many days, and the result was not what she expected. Now she could only plead in a weak tone.
Zhu Youtang said, "I want Yanling to go to the northwest and follow Wang Weining to lead the army. This will be regarded as a sacrifice of merit."
Empress Zhang said hurriedly, "Yanling has not been around since he was a child." After going through so much hardship, how can I bear this? It’s like being on the sidelines.”
As a sister, she obviously doesn’t want her younger brother to suffer in the northwest.
"Empress, since you are still shielding him, I should show you all the memorials and memorials that have been submitted to impeach him in the past few years, including those of the imperial censor and local officials. Forget it for now, even the factory guard has learned a lot, and those have been verified. He has committed many murders, arson, rapes and plunders. Even if he is a relative, I should not cover him up anymore. ”
Zhu Youtang seems to have made up his mind this time.
"Furthermore, do you think it is easy to go to the northwest? Those princes and uncles have made meritorious deeds for generations. Knowing that there is meritorious service in the northwest now, and Wang Weining is in charge, they all petitioned to go to the northwest. "Leader of the army, I gave this opportunity to Yanling. In your opinion, she has become a wandering border guard queen. You should not be like this anymore."
Zhu Youtang also said something with emotion. Looking a little annoyed.
In the court earlier, he wished that someone would come forward and make the same suggestion as Zhang Zhou, saying that Zhang Yanling should go to the northwest so that he could come to power.
But no.
He also seemed to see that those civil servants wanted to make trouble for Zhang Yanling because of the principles they upheld in their hearts, and none of them really wanted to help him, the emperor.
"Your Majesty, what about Yanling?"
Queen Zhang was taught a lesson by her husband, and this time there was absolutely nothing she could do.
It can only be explained that it was because Zhu Youtang was too doting on her and spoiled her. Once the emperor became strong, she, as a little woman without much experience, could be treated as a queen. , there is nothing we can do.
When a couple gets along, if one party gives in, the other party will gradually get in trouble.
As the emperor, Zhu Youtang was already the absolutely powerful party in this marriage, and he actually did not have to make any concessions to Queen Zhang.
When Zhu Youtang saw the gentle side of his wife, he suddenly became angry again, but he said coldly, "I will find a way to expedite this matter."Yes, he made no fault of going to the northwest, so he should be regarded as meritorious. If he has merit, I will definitely reward him as appropriate. "
Zhu Youtang entered Kunning Palace but did not come out.
Dai Yi was waiting outside the back hall of Kunning Palace.
Xiao He left and came back in a hurry, holding something in his hand that seemed very important.
"Your Majesty" Xiao Jing glanced at Dai Yi with a searching look, as if asking, Your Majesty, are you done?
Before Xiao Jing left, he knew what the emperor and the empress were doing inside. Based on his understanding of the emperor, this meeting should have ended long ago and it was time for him to make his move.
Dai Yi gave him a look and said, "Your Majesty and the Queen are not allowed to be gentle and gentle, so that the palace can be harmonious."
Really?
Dai Yi thought to himself, This queen can really live in harmony with His Majesty
But he understood immediately, and even Dai Yi felt that it should be over, but the emperor still had to spend some time with the queen. , but the emperor in broad daylight will still remember that state affairs are important, and he will probably come out in a little while.
But just as Dai Yi finished speaking, there was some faint movement inside.
< p>Immediately Dai Yi and Xiao Jing looked at each other.They both realized that it was their fault.
The two did not dare to get too close. After entering the palace and walking down the steps, Xiao Jing exclaimed, "That Mr. Zhang is really good. His majesty is still as majestic as before. "
"Poor mouth. Dai Yi looked at him coldly and asked in a bad tone, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Jing then happily said, "I just received the news." The young Tartar prince and the defeated general Huo Si will send people to pay tribute. "
When Dai Yi heard this, he no longer had a sullen face, and said happily, "It's a good thing. No wonder you are in a hurry to report it to His Majesty. If His Majesty knows about this, His Majesty might even reward you." ”
“I don’t dare, I’m just happy for Your Majesty and Ming Dynasty.” This tribute was paid with the blood of the northwest soldiers, and it enhanced the prestige of the Ming Dynasty's frontier army. "Xiao Jing said with a smile.
The two waited at the foot of the steps for a long time.
Finally.
The emperor came out.
The emperor was very satisfied at this time. It seemed that this time he came back to get along with his wife, which not only repositioned him in the relationship, but also allowed him to find the dignity of a man. In the matter of the house, he also found the long-lost feeling of youth and virility. < /p>
"Your Majesty, I am very happy. The leaders of the east and west tribes on the grassland have signed letters of credence to pay tribute, and envoys will be coming to the capital in the near future. "
Dai Yi took the initiative to report the good news.
"Yes. ”
Zhu Youtang took the memorial and read the contents, and was very relieved.
“This is all the credit of Bingkuan and Wang Weining. It seems that they all I was worried that I would let Wang Weining send troops to the grassland to pursue the victory, so I took the initiative to pay tribute. "Of course Zhu Youtang will not forget how this tribute came.
Dai Yi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, if this matter is announced to the world, the people of the Ming Dynasty will definitely feel the majesty of the heavenly state and celebrate together."
Zhu Youtang was very calm about this and shook his head. "It's just a little bit of progress, not a matter of universal celebration. It's a pity that the Beiyuan Dynasty has not been destroyed and is still being passed down. Emperor Taizong's last wish has not yet been completed."
"This"
p>Dai Yi originally wanted to flatter the emperor.
Unexpectedly, the emperor was not only calm, but also had expectations for the future.
"The people who are supervising the censor and the Ministry of War have all arrived at Pianguan, and reports have gradually begun to come back. Wang Weining's title should be decided recently. He will be regarded as Weining Marquis and continue to frighten the grasslands in the northwest. A pack of wolves. As for Zhu Zhijie, give him the title of Anbianbo."
Zhu Youtang seemed to have made a decision without even waiting to discuss it with the minister.
As for who to give the title to, I will have a little discussion with your ministers to give you face. I really thought that I would have to ask for your consent bit by bit to make such a decision, and even do it on other matters. Some trade-offs
You can’t go too far in terms of courtesy to you.
"Your Majesty, where is Mr. Zhang?" Dai Yi asked.
The emperor didn’t mention it, but Dai Yi wanted to mention it for the emperor.
Who doesn’t know that in the emperor’s heart, Zhang Zhou’s first contribution to the great victory in the northwest has long been recorded in Zhang Zhou’s name
Zhu Youtang smiled and said, “I haven’t admired him all the way to Xishan.” He is not in a hurry to get the title of Coal Mine now. If he gets the title at a young age, he may not be able to serve me wholeheartedly. Only by being a civil servant or even joining the imperial court can he be able to govern the country and bring peace to the world."
Dai Yi. Then I realized that the emperor had high expectations for Zhang Zhou.
The emperor did not knight Zhang Zhou. In addition to Zhang Zhou's active refusal, the emperor also considered that if he knighted Zhang Zhou now, Zhang Zhou would enter the governor's palace in the future. If you want to participate in state affairs as a staff member, it will be a little inconvenient.
On the contrary, his status as a civil servant is the best protection for Zhang Zhou when he becomes the emperor's personal advisor in the future. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
