For Zhu Youtang to come forward to make the decision for Zhang Zhou is equivalent to saying that anyone who wants to implicate Zhang Zhou with a vendetta now will be subject to strict scrutiny.
Zhang Zhou has never met anyone, and has never discussed any test questions. Who would risk being tortured in prison to slander him
It seems that the whole thing , he can really get away with it.
Hua Chang was taken down by Jin Yiwei.
Zhang Zhou was still standing in the Fengtian Hall, seemingly waiting for Zhu Youtang to arrange a place for him, or to find someone to take him away.
Li Wen, the Minister of Taichang Temple, came out and said, "Your Majesty, if you ask an official to report something, and you have to go to jail to hold him accountable, I'm afraid that the official will not report the matter and the people will not be able to complain. That's right." In order to silence the public, please forgive Hua Chang and send someone to find out the whole story."
There are currently two ministers of Taichang Temple in the Ming Dynasty, one of whom is Li who is in charge of Taichang Temple affairs. Wen, there is also Cui Zhiduan, who currently only has the title of Taichang Temple Minister. In the 17th year of Hongzhi, as a Taoist priest, he became the Minister of Rites and Taichang Temple Minister, and was in charge of Taichang Temple affairs.
From Emperor Chenghua to Emperor Hongzhi, the respect for Taoist priests increased day by day.
Using Taoist priests to govern the country sounds nonsense, but it was the right time to govern the Hong Dynasty.
Of course, Taichang Temple is a special yamen in the Ming Dynasty. It employs many strange people and is also the hardest hit area for officials. , probably because of this, Li Wen, who was a Jinshi, would have a greater opinion of Zhang Zhou.
Maybe Zhang Zhou entered the court as a scholar or a Taoist priest, and he was promoted to the minister of Taichang Temple or something like that.
The emperor's trust in Zhang Zhou was much stronger than that of Cui Zhiduan.
Zhu Youtang said, "Criticizing the examination of the Ministry of Rites, but there is not even any physical or personal evidence. The officials are relying on hearsay and should not investigate clearly first."
Li Wen hesitated for a moment , still shrinking his head and retreating to the court.
"My dear friends, do you have anything else to say about Zhang Zhou's scandal? If there is no substantial evidence in the future, I will no longer be polite to anyone who slanders him, and neither will the civil servants." Exception."
Zhu Youtang was still angry.
He just wants Zhang Zhou to distance himself from this matter, even if he uses some unconventional means.
Although the civil servants present were also angry at the emperor's favoritism towards Zhang Zhou, as the emperor said, they had no evidence, so even if they were dissatisfied, they could only endure it for now.
Many people are also thinking that the law does not punish the public. If those scholars and scholars just want to discuss, what else can your Majesty do?
Zhu Youtang said again, "Previously about the treatment. I have not disclosed to the public the pox epidemic, the prediction of disaster in the Qingning palace, and the preparation of mighty gunpowder to help Wang Weining achieve great achievements in the northwest. I took advantage of Zhang Qing's family being in the court today to draft an edict. Announce this matter to the world."
The ministers could only stare with big eyes.
Just now I was thinking about how the emperor could calm down the discussion about Zhang Zhou.
But if the emperor makes all Zhang Zhou’s previous actions known to the public, the scholars outside will also know that this is a person who cannot be offended
Who would dare to say evil words casually under strict orders? Slander
Zhu Youtang is almost telling the world that Zhang Zhou does not need to use any means to obtain fame. With his merits, I cannot use him too much, and he is still rare. With a Jinshi title, you finally know why he dared to tell Tang Yin that if he failed to pass the Jinshi test this time, he would not take the test again because there was no need to take the test again.
"I had previously asked the Imperial College to do the tribute selection. Zhang Qing's family used the first name in the tribute selection for reference. If he is not admitted to the undergraduate examination, I will use it as his name. I have already discussed this matter with Mr. Liu Ge and the others, and there is no need for you to discuss it further in the court."
Zhu Youtang said another way. News of the collapse of civil servants.
They seemed to finally know why the emperor did not believe that Zhang Zhou would participate in the vendetta.
It’s really unnecessary.
If Zhang Zhou didn't win the Jinshi, even if he was just a candidate, the emperor could arrange for him a position that could only be appointed after he won the Jinshi, was selected as a common scholar, and stayed in the imperial examination for three years.
Then why is there any need to cheat?
Originally, when the emperor said this, there were a lot of people present who objected, but the problem was that even Liu Jian, the chief minister, agreed with them. What qualifications do you have to oppose?
And according to the emperor's wishes, this time he was selected to enter the court by paying tribute, and there was a reasonable and clear purpose. Then he was really a dog.
"Zhang Qing's family must serve the court diligently when they enter the court." Zhu Youtang seemed to have high hopes for Zhang Zhou's appointment as an official.
Zhang Zhou cupped his hands and said, "I will obey your majesty's teachings."
The civil servants in Dongban were almost gnashing their teeth, wishing they could skin Zhang Zhou and remove his bones. This is exactly what hates people. Ji Wu, how come this guy is treated like this, and we don’t have him entering the dynasty in the future, and the order of civil servants has not been disrupted by him. Is he considered a Taoist or a Confucian scholar?
"Zhang Qing's family, you Stand aside and wait until the court affairs are over, then go to Qianqing Palace. I have something else to tell you."
Zhu Youtang is not done yet.
I also told the ministers present in public that I believe in Zhang Zhou and would like to see him alone. His opinions can be directly heard by heaven, so I would like to ask you what your temper is.
Zhang Zhou looked to both sides and wondered which side he should stand
It turned out to be Wen Chen, but Wen Chen didn't seem to have any intention of giving up his position. If he insisted on leaning over, it would be like he had a wart on his body. It's boring if it has to stick out. If you stand back, you can only stand in Hua Chang's previous position, which is not a good choice.
Zhang Mao smiled and took a step away, saying, "Zhang Gongsheng, please come and stand with me."
Wu Xun was very understanding and took a step back automatically. , make room.
This group of people seems to be saying, please come to our bowl.
Zhang Zhou did not comply with Zhang Mao’s invitation, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have not yet been selected as a Jinshi, nor have I entered the court, so I am not qualified to attend the court proceedings. Now that my affairs have been discussed, I would like to retire."
How many civil servants are there? There were also some surprises.
This guy is now understanding things again.
"Yes." Zhu Youtang nodded, but did not issue an order.
Zhang Zhou looked sideways at the group of civil servants on the left and said, "Colleagues, I know what you are thinking, and I am indeed not qualified to be on par with you today. I am not ignorant of etiquette, but if someone wants to deliberately frame and slander, I will come forward to defend myself no matter what."
"If others make groundless accusations, I will suffer unjust injustice, which is not what I want."
Just now, the civil servant said. I also felt that Zhang Zhou knew the etiquette of Confucian scholars to some extent. After listening to Zhang Zhou's words, many people looked at him angrily.
What is this?
Victory Speech
After you show off your power with Hua Chang, why don’t you show off your power to us again? Do you still want to be our ministers in the future
p>
Xie Qian smiled and said, "Zhang Gongsheng, don't take advantage of me and act like a good boy."
Everyone else was too sensible to say anything, but Xie Qian was not afraid. He didn't dare to antagonize the king, and everyone knew his character. Even the emperor didn't blame him because he was the emperor's master.
At this time, it seemed that he was the only one who dared to come out and mock Zhang Zhou like this.
Zhang Zhou had suppressed Hua Chang with his momentum before, but now he was not afraid at all when facing Xie Qian.
He said righteously, "Mr. , at least there must be evidence of guilt. If there is evidence of guilt, I would not mind undergoing a strict interrogation. Please also thank Mr. Ge, do not regard the court's basic justice as a bargain, and do not have justice in your heart. , the way of heaven exists."
As soon as this statement came out, the court was in an uproar.
In front of the emperor and his ministers, Zhang Zhou not only responded to Xie Qian, but also seemed to be educating the ministers present.
How can you, Zhang Zhou, be so virtuous?
Just because you are someone trusted by the emperor, you feel that you represent justice
"Crazy Life"
Immediately there were scolding sounds from the crowd of civil servants.
Zhang Zhou didn’t seem to mind at all.
Zhu Youtang is also a little confused about Zhang Zhou’s approach. He promised to clear your suspicions, let you establish a good relationship with civil servants, and help you become an official in the court in the future. You also You have been doing this all this time, but in the end, you took the initiative to change into burrs and started fighting with Xie Qian, who represented the civil servants
Let’s look at Xie Qian, the other party involved in the incident.
Xie Qian was also a little confused at this time.
I thank you for having been quarreling with others in the court for so many years. Even the emperor had to give you some face when I was quarreling with you. It would be better for you to just not give me any face.
That’s itIn this way, you still want to be a good civil servant in the future
"Well, Zhang Qing's family, what you said makes some sense. In the final analysis, the topic is just a rumor, and there is not enough evidence of guilt yet. Come, send me first Zhang Qing's family left the palace and waited for an audience with Qianqing Palace."
Zhu Youtang could only come out quickly to smooth things over.
While the situation is not getting worse, let Xiao Jing take Zhang Zhou out of Fengtian Palace and wait to meet him in Qianqing Palace.
"Mr. Zhang, what happened to you? The matter has been settled. After you listened to Mr. Xie Ge's words, you pretended not to have heard it. This is the case for others. Why bother with him?"
Xiao Jing also felt that Zhang Zhou was a bit "arrogant and proud".
You can’t just stop giving each other steps because the emperor trusts you very much
Aren’t you going to pave the way for you to enter the court?
What are you doing? Don't leave yourself a way out.
Can you blame His Majesty for not helping you?
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "Eunuch Xiao, have you forgotten what I asked you before?"
Xiao Jing almost thought Ask, which sentence
When he came back to his senses, he probably understood that it was Zhang Zhou who said "If I say this, they will really let me go" when the two of them entered the palace. .
He also realized that no matter whether Zhang Zhou resented Xie Qian or not, or how sincerely he dealt with civil servants, or whether Zhang Zhou was a Jinshi, he would still pay tribute if he was not a Jinshi. Regardless of entering the court, Zhang Zhou and the civil officials could no longer have fun, and Zhang Zhou was destined to not be recognized by the civil officials.
"Mr. Zhang, it seems that from the beginning, you thought that the civil servants in the DPRK would not let you go, and you made plans to compete with them from the beginning."
Xiao Jing Stunning.
No wonder this kid acted like an aggressive rooster on the way to the palace, showing an attitude of not being afraid of trouble.
Here’s the reason.
Zhang Zhou smiled, "With my background, it's okay if I don't compete. If I'm not strong, then when I enter the court, I'm afraid not everyone will regard me as a soft persimmon and pinch me one by one." Well, this is just like me being the first to learn from Xie Yuan. Everyone wants to compete with me. If you have to find someone to compete with me first, let’s start with Mr. Xie Ge. Who asked him to pinch me first?
