Zhan Shifu left in the middle of the Lin Yanchao, and after all the eunuchs in the palace heard this name, their breath was condensed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

This name has stirred up the entire court in the past few days, causing the Son of Heaven to be angry, and even the Empress Dowager Shengci has hardly slept overnight.

But among the officials and the people, everyone praised him and asked for his life for the people, regardless of life and death.

Of course, some officials smeared him as a remnant of the Chu Party, and wrote a letter to attack the Queen Mother and the Son of Heaven, but to divert the public and keep the Chu Party in the court. In short, a traitor with ill intentions.

Then is such a traitor, before Zhang Juzheng's death, under the reputation of the dynasty, he held the middle and kept the right, drew a clear line with Zhang Juzheng, and could even be said to be evil.

After Zhang Juzheng's death, under the influence of the dynasty, he came forward to defend Zhang Juzheng's death, and tried to protect the minister's posthumous affairs, and even went to prison for this.

What kind of behavior is this?

A gentleman's trip.

Sima Qian's book on the appointment of Shaoqing has been read by everyone. In it, Sima Qian said that when Li Ling was favored, he had no personal relationship with Li Ling, but after Li Ling was captured, he was the only minister who defended Li Ling in front of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, even if he was sentenced to death.

and Hai Rui scolded the Son of Heaven during the reign of Emperor Sejong, but when Emperor Sejong died, he vomited and cried bitterly.

Righteousness is righteousness, private affection is private affection, and it is for the public and not for personal gain.

After reading Lin Yanchao's name in the hall at this moment, the Son of Heaven thought of Sima Qian and Hai Rui on the spot in his mind.

From ancient times to the present, there are always those people who do not care about life and death for the country, and for the people, regardless of good and evil.

"The state has a reprimand, and the country will not die," the Son of Heaven said this, and then suddenly mourned, beat his chest in the palace and said, "It is I who wronged Zhang Taiyue, I who wronged Lin Yanchao, and I am a faint king!" I'm a faint king! ”

After listening to the words of the Son of Heaven, all the eunuchs knelt on the ground.

On weekdays, the Son of Heaven has always been arrogant, but today he is admitting his mistakes, which is simply unprecedented.

Gao Huai quietly wiped his tears, and his heart was promised your loyalty, and His Majesty finally knew. Grievances will inevitably be revealed, and the board can recognize the sincere ministers.

On the side, Zhang Whale knew that there was something strange about this matter, he was appointed as the governor of Dongchang to spy on the minister's intelligence, and he knew that although Lin Yanchao was not Zhang Juzheng's family, he had no contact with Zhang Juzheng.

But in front of the Son of Heaven, he would not speak. Of course, it's not because Zhang Whale is a loyal eunuch, and it's not because he can hide it for Lin Yanchao just because he is good friends. Zhang Whale didn't say that it was because he received 10,000 taels of silver from Lin Yanchao.

At this time, Zhang Whale would never tell the Son of Heaven the information he knew, but would try his best to conceal it. Because if Lin Yanchao's bottom is revealed, it will not do him any good, and a hundred words are better than silence.

At this time, the Son of Heaven asked: "Has the Sichuan Dao Imperial History sent to the cabinet the chapter of Xiangzong's impeachment of Lin Yanchao?" ”

Zhang Cheng said: "It's already been sent, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch it back." ”

The Son of Heaven sneered: "I have fallen for these courtiers, one Yang Sizhi and the other Zeng Xiangzong are traitorous ministers, why did I listen to them?" In the future, the official impeached Zhang Taiyue, and I didn't read it, so I directly sent it to the cabinet and let them vote for it. Let the cabinet worry about the situation as well. ”

The words of the Son of Heaven were full of frustration: "Whoever the emperor loves to sit and who sit, this world simply lets this group of ministers take care of it." ”

Zhang Jing, Zhang Cheng and other eunuchs knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, you are the Son of Heaven, where the well-being of the people lies, you can't ignore the people in the world." ”

The Son of Heaven said negatively: "What if you manage it?" The court is full of such traitors. I have already lost Zhang Taiyue first, and then Lin Yanchao, raided their homes, and sent them to prison. But I only know today that they are all loyal ministers who work for the country, and I am afraid that I will chill the world by treating them like this. ”

"You think that if you don't say it, I don't know that after Lin Yanchao was imprisoned, how many officials and people pointed at me and scolded me, scolding me for being a faint king. They were right, I was a faint king. The history books of future generations will not miss this pen. ”

Zhang Whale said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to be sad, the thunder rain and dew are Jun's grace, since you know the truth, Your Majesty will compensate them." ”

"How to compensate? Pardon Zhang Juzheng, the relatives of the court did not agree, pardon Lin Yanchao, and the Queen Mother did not agree. And the previous orders to raid the house and issue the edict were all out of my will. ”

"Are you going to break yourselves? What does the trade union of hundreds of officials and ministers think of me? Accusing me of being mediocre, misbelieving Yang Sizhi, and once slandering Xiangzong, defending the face of the heavenly family and putting loyal ministers in prison? All parties are guilty, the sin is in me, to put it simply, all this is my fault, I can't wait to make an edict to punish Zhang Taiyue and Lin Yanchao's grievances. But I can't. The Son of Heaven cried as he spoke, not only because he was angry that he was deceived by the minister, but also because he wronged Zhang Juzheng, and Lin Yanchao was sad.

Zhang Whale, Zhang Cheng and other eunuchs also cried with the Son of Heaven, and they also understood the hardships of the Son of Heaven.

Where did the Son of Heaven personally admit his mistakes.

Raiding the homes of loyal ministers and sending them to prison will cause the Son of Heaven to fall into infamy. This makes him very face-saving, and he wants to be a son of heaven on a par with Yao Shun in the history books, and how to face the subjects of the world in the future.

Therefore, the edict cannot be issued, in this case, the only way to make a mistake is to be wrong, and now it is only possible to pull up this fig leaf.

"How is Lin Yanchao in the Imperial Prison?" The Son of Heaven asked Zhang Whale.

Zhang Whale replied: "Back to Your Majesty, you ordered Lin Zhongyun to be polite before, so the slave listened to the order and ordered the people below not to be tortured. ”

The Son of Heaven said with relief: "This matter is done well, he has already sacrificed his life for the country, you must not embarrass him." ”

Zhang Whale was praised by the Son of Heaven and said very happily: "The slave does an errand for His Majesty, this is all within his bounds. As far as the slave knows, although Lin Zhongyun is in prison, he has not complained to His Majesty. Instead, he lectured with the prisoners about the scriptures, talked about the teachings of the saints, and passed on the learning of Yongjia. Everyone was convinced of him, and many of them worshipped him. ”

Zhang Whale knew that the Son of Heaven was full of apologies for Lin Yanchao at this moment, so he said these words to alleviate it.

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he really swept away Fang Cai's gloomy expression, patted his leg and said: "This is the Lin Sanyuan I know, well, I am not shocked by honor and disgrace." In the past, Xibo was detained and played Zhou Yi, and Lin Yanchao lectured in the edict prison, and this sage did it. ”

"Zhang Whale, you did a good job, I am very relieved."

After speaking, the Son of Heaven stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Whale's shoulder. Zhang Whale was overjoyed when he saw that the Son of Heaven actually praised him twice in one day, thinking that he and Lin Yanchao were political allies, which seemed to be really right.

The Son of Heaven finished talking to Zhang Whale.

At this time, a eunuch came to the palace and said a few words to Zhang Cheng.

Zhang Cheng's face changed when he heard this, and he immediately came to the bottom of the stairs and said to the Son of Heaven: "Your Majesty, the Dengwen Drum Courtyard is on duty to report to the Imperial History, and Lin Zhongyun's wife and son have struck the Dengwen Drum outside the right gate of Chang'an!" ”

PS: A book friend asked Hai Rui if he gave him a respect? The answer is of course no, when Zhang Juzheng was the first assistant, Hai Rui was idle at home, and in this book, Lin Yanchao recommended it to the Son of Heaven to recover, so there was no chance at all.
