The capital.
Li Dongyang has been inquiring about Xie Qian for several days, but no matter whether it is the officials from the Ministry of Justice who have been to Fusi in Beizhen, or the news from Qianhu and Baihu who are familiar with each other in Jinyiwei, Li Dongyang felt a sense of powerlessness.
Xie Qian seems to have been put on death row, and any information has been blocked.
"Yu Qiao's situation is getting worse." Li Dongyang went to the cabinet to check in this morning. It was already the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, and the New Year would be celebrated in two days.
At this time, the iron triangle of the cabinet must be happily waiting for the New Year, but this year is very different from the past. There is one less person planting dogwood.
Liu Jiandao: "Not only you, I also asked people to investigate, and I learned that Yu Qiao's matter was personally sent by Li Zhang, the admiral of Dongchang. It may have been sent somewhere in the city. The place is under strict supervision and even torture."
Li Dongyang was silent.
This is something they have discussed before. If Xie Qian cannot withstand the torture and tells the two of them, the result is likely to be that the cabinet will be ruined.
"Why don't you find someone to help you when you do things yourself?" Zhang Zhou walked over, took the clothes from the Cui family's daughter, and helped her hang them up.
Zhang Zhou smiled and shook his head.
Zhang Zhou walked over, smiled and waved his hand, and Sun Shangqi immediately left with the others.
"It seems that more people are coming here to work." Zhang Zhou said.
Just like this pile of memorials, they were presented to Zhu Youtang.
After all, the Cui family is not a wealthy family. Cui Yuan was just the eldest princess's consort before, and did not bring much change to the family. In addition, the Cui family's daughter was originally a concubine, which made it even more difficult. I don't get much favorable treatment.
Mainly because many people in the court sympathized with Xie Qian, thinking that Xie Qian was just speaking impartially and had no fault. Also because these people were tortured too much by the civil servants, they all felt that Zhang Zhou was The main reason for the treacherous ministers is that they don't know what Zhang Zhou has done, and they don't seem to care to know.
"Cui Ying." The little girl of the Cui family said.
As long as they think it is right, they will do it. Some people are still stubborn and will not look back even if they hit a wall.
After all, you need to know how to converge.
Someone set off firecrackers behind the small courtyard, and the crackling sound was very loud. She was somewhat frightened and wanted to cover her ears, but then she realized that she knew the man in front of her, and thought that this was the man she would follow in the future. The person who had lived his whole life turned red and didn't even dare to raise his head.
"These two pavilion elders are also extraordinary." Zhang Zhou commented with a smile.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "It's not obvious that someone is going to be questioned by Your Majesty. His Majesty will send them here to work their muscles and bones so that they know how difficult it is to survive. Or they can cultivate their minds and nature."
p>
Li Dongyang works more directly.
Beside her, there was a dowry maid helping her take clothes from the box, while she herself was hanging them to dry.
"I have participated in the impeachment." Li Dongyang said, "You and I have encountered more impeachments in the past two years than in previous years. Could it be that Zhang Bingkuan cannot be impeached as an official in the court? There are many people who have opinions on this matter. Yes, they will come out on their own."
After all, they are still the ones who want face.
Sun Shangqi said, "Get away, the master is here, and if you don't leave for anything else, I'll let you suffer some punishment at the yamen door."
"Cui Ying, are you okay? Interesting, I guess your father must like to read The West Chamber very much. Have you read The West Chamber?" Zhang Zhou asked with a smile.
We can’t keep Xie Qian even though we try our best, so let’s just give up.
"For the current plan, we can only find Yu Qiao quickly or decide the case earlier." Liu Jiandao.
"I just came here, so I recognize the place." The little girl from the Cui family said in a very soft voice.
"What's your name?" Zhang Zhou then asked about his little wife's name.
Chen Kuandao said, "Your Majesty, if this is the case, will the world further misunderstand Cai Guogong?"
"We must do it no matter what. In fact, I have already found someone to do it." Li Dongyang said, "Don't blame me for not discussing it with you in the Zhongtang. If we really can't let this matter go, just pretend that the Zhongtang doesn't know about it and leave everything to me."
Li Dongyang said, "I mean, let the Ministry of Punishment report more Mention this matter and ask your Majesty to finalize the case as soon as possible."
"Master," Sun Shangqi took something and said, "This is a secret letter from your Majesty."
Chen Kuan was a little anxious when he heard this. After all, he didn't want to see a complete rift between the emperor and the civil servants, but he couldn't persuade him directly.
Chen Kuan saw that the emperor was resolute, and he himself felt that those civil servants were too stubborn. They knew that there were tigers in the mountains and went to the tiger mountains. You are full and full.
Looking for a beating, the emperor will beat you. , you are in bad luck.
Chen Kuandao: "Your Majesty, calm down."
Anyway, you participated in the impeachment of Zhang Zhou and made others think that you were loyal ministers. You have already gained fame and fortune. Now I will send you to prison. What's more? Do you still want to clear your name without fear of the powerful without any loss?
Being sentenced to prison, tortured, and even lost your life, that is what you have to bear for the sake of clearing your name. cost.
I was very disdainful of Zhang Zhou, but he did not go to participate in the impeachment in person, but instigated other officials to participate in the impeachment.
"My dear, that's not necessary." Liu Jiandao.
"Yes." Liu Jiandao, "The year of Renxu is coming soon. Before then, we must decide the matter and postpone it to the next year. In the memorial to His Majesty next year, I also mentioned these two sentences. You and I can also admit that we were at fault, and let this matter pass."
If you are completely shameless like those powerful officials in history, then your life will no longer be so smooth. .
The situation where Xie Qian used to order officials openly and openly like before is actually gone forever.
Liu Jin was so cruel that they didn’t even dare to breathe. Li Dongyang had to be submissive and treat Liu Jin as his ancestor.Now it is precisely because Zhang Zhou is a scholar, and even the civil servants probably think that he will not harm his colleagues, that is why he is so tit-for-tat.
New Year’s Eve.
There is a lively and festive atmosphere in Harbor New City. No matter what the construction site is, it is a day off. However, many people stay in the workshop and do not go back because there will be many celebration programs that day. As Zhang Zhou The city lord even gave generous rewards to the people of a city.
Liu Jian stood up with a regretful look on his face and said, "It's not that you don't want to help, but your Majesty's attitude is decisive. I'm afraid that in order to protect Zhang Bingkuan, your Majesty will ignore even the most basic principles of morality and law. Now, There are many mistakes to be made. Since Yu Qiao is indeed not very thorough in his work, as long as we can save his life, even if he is a little homeless, and we will give him a certain amount of protection, his descendants will definitely be properly settled. "
If you have to stand against the emperor, then it is not like seeking death. The previous Xiao Jing was just pretending to be a good guy, and ended up helping civil servants too much, and he got himself into trouble.
In addition to telling him to punish the twenty famous officials, the emperor also said that he would investigate the culprit behind the incident. But in fact, Zhang Zhou knew that it was the cabinet's instruction without even thinking about it. But after thinking about it, This time Liu Jian or Li Dongyang will definitely be careful when giving instructions so that no one can catch them.
If you don’t want to impeach Ma Yi, Wang Shouren, or Zhang Mao, if you want to impeach, just directly impeach Zhang Zhou. Except that he didn’t take action personally, the incident this time was quite big.
The implication.
"Yes." Sun Shangqi probably knew it in his heart.
"What you mean is the instruction of the two elders. Mr. Liu Ge and Mr. Li Ge say that they are loyal ministers. It seems that they have a good reputation among the scholars." Sun Shangqi was also vaguely worried.
Li Dongyang smiled bitterly and said, "Just a few words about the opening of new yamen at Shangtingchu and Yanwutang caused a cabinet minister to suffer such unjust injustice. It is really outrageous. This Things must not be let go, and this policy must always be maintained."
Li Dongyang asked, "Should we stop trying to help Qiao?"
At first, he didn't know what to say. Secondly, there is really no need to say it.
Even if he doesn’t worship a hero, at least he is a big shot doing big things in front of him.
For her, although she is not familiar with Zhang Zhou, she has heard a lot about Zhang Zhou's reputation. He is a heroic figure who can at least satisfy the girl's fantasy.
Zhu Youtang said, "I want to express my gratitude to Qiao. Is it because of Bingkuan? It's because these people do things completely unreasonably and only follow their so-called rules. As long as they don't comply with their rules, They will think that it is a strange thing that Xin Xin Bo mobilized his troops to Pianguan. In their eyes, such an ordinary thing can give rise to another excuse, and even rise to the level of rebellion. If I want to punish Xie Qian, they will impeach Bing Bing. You are so lenient as if I am doing all these things for Bingkuan."
"Binzhi, you have backbone, which is good. But remember, everything must be done according to circumstances. Now His Majesty is partial. Yu Zhang Bingkuan,You and I need to understand that it’s better not to confront someone head-on. "Liu Jian reminded.
"I am not angry, I have seen through this group of people. "Zhu Youtang said, "Before I met Bingkuan, I also thought they were a little arrogant in their actions, but it was not like they are now. It is clear that the government and the public have not done anything good. When it comes to the party's efforts to unite and oppose differences, they all Stared again. Put these people in jail. ”
The Cui family’s daughter is drying her clothes in the yard, or because she just brought them from the capital, and the hard journey, all the clothes she brought need to be dried.
Zhang Zhou laughed and said, "I'm just too kind. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't treat others like this. ”
When Li Dongyang mentioned this matter to Liu Jian, three joint memorials, plus more than a dozen separate memorials, almost all involved impeaching Zhang Zhou for controlling the government and competing for interests with the people, and Ignoring the laws of the Ming Dynasty and being nepotistic, Zhang Zhou was always described as the biggest treacherous minister since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Zhou was criticized to the point of being completely injured.
Even merchants passing by here can receive a New Year gift. /p>
Liu Jian thought for a while, and it seemed that Zhang Zhou was indeed not a threat.
The mother-in-law didn’t know who Zhang Zhou was, or even if she did, she didn’t know the meaning of Zhang Zhou’s identity. What are you wearing?
"Yes. "The Cui family's daughter responded.
Using Yan Guan's angry youth thoughts or the speculative ideas of this group of people, promised them certain benefits and asked them to jump out and impeach Zhang Zhou to death. .
The last day of the year, the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month.
Thinking about history, when Liu Jin comes to power in a few years and the Eight Tigers are rampant, what can these civil servants do?< /p>
Zhang Zhou said, "It doesn't matter if you go out for a walk, you will always be bored. In the future, you will no longer use the front door or the second door. You can go wherever you want, but you must pay attention to safety when going out." I will leave some people for you to protect you, and send a few more people to help. "
Zhu Youtang pointed to the pile of memorials and said, "Isn't this? I want to convict Xie Qian of death. They know that they are wrong in some places, and they don't ask Xie Qian for his explanation, but they want to pull Xie Qian. Bingkuan went into the water, what does this mean? Do you want to show me some color?"
"Too kind, too kind. What can I do but be ruthless, and indeed I shouldn't be merciful anymore. "Zhang Zhou smiled and laughed at himself.
"That's true. "Chen Kuan quickly followed the emperor's wishes and said, "Although it can't be said to be something out of thin air, it is all misinterpreting the meaning of His Majesty and Cai Guogong. "
The emperor also looked away.
The mother-in-law walked away in despair.
"There is not much misunderstanding," Zhu Youtang said with a flick of his sleeve. "If there is no misunderstanding, why do they tell me these things knowing that I cannot convince them, then there is no need to reason anymore, everything will follow the rules. I should be a loyal minister, but I should also be able to distinguish right from wrong. If Bingkuan has done something wrong, I can completely understand why they will intervene. But look at what they impeached, one of them is talking seriously."
Sun Shangqi asked, "My lord, what do you mean?"
p>
"This" Chen Kuan wanted to defend the civil servant, but he couldn't say anything.
Then the Cui family girl inside heard the sound at the door and looked up.
Zhu Youtang picked up a few copies and read them. His expression was calm. He put down the memorial and said, "It seems that their counterattack has begun."
The Cui family's daughter still lowered her head. , found that Zhang Zhou didn't pay attention to his side, but still peeked at Zhang Zhou from the corner of his eyes.
Zhu Youtang said, "This group of people have been blinded by anger. The only thing that can make them wake up, apart from sticks and chains, is to be sent to the frontier and let them suffer the pain of flesh and blood." . Just say this and do this.”
In the small courtyard.
"This" Sun Shangqi can't quite understand.
Zhang Zhou opened it and looked at it briefly.
At noon that day, when Zhang Zhou had just had lunch and was about to go to the courtyard where the daughter of the Cui family was placed, news came from the capital that the emperor wanted to punish twenty-three officials who participated in his impeachment. news.
It is really a blind marriage and a dumb marriage. I was too embarrassed to ask about my maiden name before.
Li Dongyang said, "What does Zhang Bingkuan mean? He is not in the capital now. What has he done in this matter?"
Chen Kuandao said, "What does your Majesty mean by this?"
Because Zhang Zhou is now fighting against mainstream public opinion, which is tantamount to standing on the opposite side of the literati.
I obviously want to be a human being with you, but you don’t treat yourselves as human beings.
"Give them some suffering." Zhang Zhou said, "When the new year comes, let them do hard work. Each of them can only talk. Revitalizing the Ming Dynasty is not based on words. They want to be loyal and capable ministers. , but they can’t do anything, so why let them build ships?”
When Zhang Zhou came in, the woman who came with him wanted to ask for a reward.
"Yes." Chen Kuan quickly responded.
The emperor wrote a letter to a minister, and it was a personal letter. Sun Shangqi felt that the relationship between the emperor and his minister was extraordinary.
Chen Kuan, who sent the memorial from "Your Majesty", seemed very cautious, because he knew that the emperor would hate this the most.
Sun Shangqi said: "Those people"
The rules have been established for you. Whoever participates in the impeachment of Zhang Zhou will be unlucky. Since you are stubborn, I will also help you. .
"No, but I've heard of it." Cui Ying said.
"Then I'll let you go and have a look. There are many opera troupes singing in the city during the Chinese New Year. You have been by my side these days, and Mingshan is rare in this foreign land, and you two are my confidante. Being with each other is a beautiful thing."
