Chapter 796: "Lying Falsely" about the country's foundation, door-to-door interception
After the end of the Shuo-Ri Dynasty Meeting, the square in front of the Jinshui Bridge to the Fengtian Gate at Noon Gate left many people again.
There was a fierce debate here in the heavy rain, at that time, Zhang Yue experienced for the first time the taste of being pointed at his nose and scolded the traitor, and Xia Yuanji, who was also denounced as a traitor, took the initiative to say that the crime was in the minister, so it temporarily calmed down the turmoil.
However, this time, the emperor has replaced Zhu Zhanji, who has always been known for his benevolence, and the impassioned speech officials have a tendency to intensify. Yu Qian is lonely and straightforward, and there is a way to gather people by like, after Gu Zuo took charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, in addition to the character, the selection of the imperial history requires only two words - dare to speak. Conduct and the like can be hidden, but it can't be concealed when it dares to speak, so the impeachment and exhortation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate today has more than doubled compared with when Liu Guan was in office.
“…… Now eunuchs or envoys to foreign countries, or garrison places, or supervise the frontier of the army, all hold great power, and there is a great danger of corruption and bullying the locality! The eunuchs of the Han and Tang dynasties were in trouble, and our emperor Ming Taizu set up a sermon, and eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in politics. Now that the ancestral precepts have been broken, the ministers are risking death to admonish! ”
“…… The ministry and the cabinet should seek national politics in a high position, and it is not appropriate to follow the crowd and let it go, and it is a big mistake not to advise the king! The minister asks His Majesty to choose another merit to be on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion and take charge of the affairs of the ministry, so as not to control the court and harm the Ming Dynasty! ”
“…… The birth of the emperor's eldest son, His Majesty has an heir, and he should celebrate. However, there is a difference between the concubines and the concubines, the dignity and the humility are orderly, and the birth of the emperor's eldest son is amnesty to the world and exempt the world from the money and grain of the state capital, so what about the birth of His Majesty's concubine on the other day? I heard that there were many eunuchs in the palace who clinged to the noble concubine and the emperor's eldest son, and those who wanted to advance to the rank of his body in the future, had terrible intentions. I implore the emperor to distinguish his name and humility, so as to calm the discussion! ”
When Zhu Di was there, those officials dared to kowtow to death on the grounds that the three major halls were on fire, but now this posture is nothing. Yang Shiqi Jianyi and others are all people who have gone through four or five dynasties, and the newly replaced Zhang Ben and several other Shangshu are also scheming and calculating, so when they first heard that they were accused of being traitors, they were just indifferent. However, when these admonitions finally touched the most critical level, everyone present was furious, and Gu Zuo, the emperor of the left capital, was even more stunned.
He didn't care that his colleagues around him would think that he had planned this turmoil, all he cared about was these officials he had personally picked up. Yu Qian is a junior he has always been extremely optimistic about, not only upright, but also capable, and the most important thing is the kind of minister's style. These people below are also the most outstanding people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If these people are convicted for their words, then the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be empty of backbones in the blink of an eye, and if he, the Imperial History, does not defend them, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will become an empty shelf!
But what are these people doing when they get the eldest son of the emperor, since it is to impeach the eunuch for abusing power, then just hold the eunuch, what are the palace eunuchs doing, not to mention that the queen has no children, even the harem concubines are all childless, isn't this adding fuel to the fire?
Zhang Yue has not yet been appointed, so he is only standing behind the people, but he is only not far from Zhu Zhanji. Seeing that this Xuande Heavenly Son was sitting there at first, with a sneer on his face, his face gradually turned pale, his body leaned forward, and his hand unconsciously grabbed the armrest of the golden chair, he knew that Zhu Zhanji was already very angry. On this day, Xia Yuan Jijin Youzi was sick, and the only civil officials present at this time were Sanyang and Jian Du, but it was not his turn to appear first anyway, so he couldn't help but look at the British Gong Zhang Fu.
Zhang Fu is now only looking forward to the court, and he does not participate in the ordinary court, and the will of his leader is to concentrate on planning important military affairs, that is, ordinary chores do not interfere, so after the change, he has not spoken at the court meeting for a long time, but now there is the message brought by Zhu Ning yesterday, which is different from usual. However, in the deathly silence, he slowly took a step, and his eyes, which had been half-squinted for several years, suddenly opened, and the sharp eyes suddenly swept over the faces of the crowd.
"It is the duty of the official to say things, whether it is to remove the eunuch party or to remove the traitor, it is a public heart of your wait, but what is the right name is nonsense! The emperor has had no heirs for many years, and the birth of the emperor's eldest son is a celebration of the whole world! The common people suffer from no man, and the birth of the eldest son is still happy for fear that others will not know, let alone the heavenly family? It is a great fortune for the emperor to have an heir, so to pardon the world and free money and food is to rejoice with the common people! Since he is a speech official, he should have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, and he will make reckless words to speculate, and put the monarch's father in a certain place! ”
One sentence distinguishing between right and wrong, and one sentence of random speculation, suddenly made several officials below blush. It was easy to seize this opportunity, Gu Zuo immediately stood up, put on Du Xian's stand and reprimanded them fiercely, and between the lines it was all hinting that they should not be entangled in the dignity and inferiority of the name. With the beginning of this martial arts, others reprimanded one after another, but this time it was completely different from the three major palace fires before, and no one had the time to pay attention to people pointing their noses and scolding them for being traitors, and they just wanted to suppress that dangerous spark first.
However, Mars came together, and where is it so easy to suppress. Yanguan was originally the most stubborn person in the world, although Gu Zuodu had already hinted to the point of being extremely obvious, but they had already made up their minds in their chests, where were they willing to give in, so they actually stiffened their necks and argued. Zhang Fu, who was the first to speak just now, saw this scene and sighed deeply, and when he saw Zhang Yue just looking over, he had to shake his head slightly.
Knowing what Zhang Fu meant was impossible, Zhang Yue couldn't help but have a headache, thinking that even if Empress Dowager Zhang was impossible, it would be impossible to ask someone to dispel these officials. Now that so many ministers have gone up to bomb indiscriminately, they can't make these guys who have eaten the scales and have an iron heart change their minds, and he is naturally even worse. This time is different from the previous time, the focus is on the prince's country, not on traitors.
When Zhu Zhanji was still the grandson of the emperor, he was taught to be kind to the advice and be generous, and he has basically done so all along. That time, because of the fire in the three major halls, the officials collectively played, and he also asked Zhu Ning to bring a letter to Zhang Yue, asking him to come forward to take responsibility at the right time. However, his starting point has never been to protect any officials, but to maintain the stability of the situation in the DPRK and not cause any major chaos, and his patience also has a bottom line.
Now, he is a noble son of heaven, but he is bound to do anything. These eunuchs regard those eunuchs as thorns in the flesh, and the beloved woman gave birth to his eldest son, and they don't even let go of this!
Seeing that Zhu Zhanji's face was wrong, Wang Jin hurriedly glanced at a young official next to him. I heard a loud shout, and the place, which was almost as chaotic as a vegetable market, suddenly fell silent. At this time, Zhu Zhanji stared at these annoying officials in front of him, and said word by word: "Correct name, respect and humility...... Well, that's good! But who of you just remembered the humility and the name! If you sell your reputation and talk about state affairs, and see that everyone is a traitor, you are only loyal ministers! I ask you, loyal ministers, who instructed you to discuss in vain, what kingdom is the prince? ”
"Your Majesty, now the streets and alleys are full of heated discussions about the importance of mothers and sons, and the sons are valued by mothers, and the ministers are not vain, nor have they been instructed by others!"
"As a speech official, I actually listened to street rumors!"
Zhu Zhanji finally couldn't help it, Huo Di stood up and said sharply: "All the Jinyi guards ......"
Without waiting for these words to be finished, Zhang Yue immediately took a step forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, although the words are fierce, they are a public heart. If the crime is punished for words, it will be clear that it will hurt and employ people. I implore the emperor to be aware and forgive him for his sin of false words. ”
"Zhang Yuanjie, where am I waiting for a lie!"
Hearing the sudden shouting behind him, Zhang Yue couldn't wait to turn around and kick the man who was talking far away. At this time, he could only resist the desire to turn back, and said in a deep voice: "According to untruths, falsehoods, vain talk about unresolved matters, and accusations are unfounded, is this not nonsense? Gu Duxian and the adults are completely undiscerning, and they only use their tongues, this is not a lie......
He was about to say more, when he saw a little eunuch whispering a few words in Wang Jin's ear, the most loyal eunuch's face changed in an instant, and he hurriedly came to Zhu Zhanji's side and whispered something, he hesitated for a moment and then omitted the words behind. At such a critical time, a certain young official at the back was still unrelenting, and then Gu Zuo's voice of scolding came again.
"That's it for today!"
Zhu Zhanji angrily put down this sentence, and the eunuch Gao Xuan saluted, and for a while, whether it was the official who still had something to say, or Gu Zuo, who hated to carry the words of those officials, all knelt down to see the emperor off. Although they are all people who are holding back their words, but since the emperor is gone, this Jinshui Bridge is not a place to stay for a long time, and everyone is in a hurry to retreat.
After crossing the Jinshui Bridge, Yang Shiqi whispered a few words to Gu Zuo, and then went back to the cabinet with the rest of the cabinet first, while the members of the six departments went out of the noon gate with the officials. After leaving the important place of the inner court, the high-ranking officials who could still be silent just now suddenly couldn't help it, and Zhang Ben, the secretary of the military department, said bluntly to Gu Zuo, the imperial history of the left capital: "Gu Duxian, you have selected people who are honest and dare to speak, but what is the point of being honest and daring to speak!" It's not wrong to remove eunuchs, and it's not wrong to stop traitors, but they actually ...... Dare to speak falsely about the country's capital! ”
Wu Zhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, saw that those people were quite unconvinced, and also sneered: "Abolish the eunuchs, we don't care, but there are some things that even the three princes and three orphans dare not say, you are good, just put it out!" Now Yu Tingyi, who is in Jinyiwei Edict Prison, just swept all the eunuchs in, if Zhang Yuanjie hadn't come out to interrupt just now, everyone would have been in Jinyi Edict Prison at this time! To put it bluntly, there has to be a limit, you Gu Duxian have easily reorganized the reputation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, don't ruin it! ”
Zhang Yue saw that Gu Zuo shook his head again and again, those few officials seemed to be unable to get up and down, they were all blushing, and they also knew that there was no room for their own speech, so they stepped forward to help the British public Zhang Fu, and the uncle and nephew left quietly first. Although Zhang Fu is a martial artist who specially gives him a sedan chair, he is already conspicuous enough to look at Shuo, so he only rides a horse in every dynasty. The two of them came out of the left gate of Chang'an, and looked at the various carriages and horses parked on the road leading to the Forbidden Palace, and couldn't help but stop.
"You say, all those officials today said those words from their hearts, or did someone instigate them behind them?"
"Uncle Lobby must have already made up his mind in his heart." Zhang Yue only felt heavy in his heart, and when he saw that the servants of his own family and the entourage of the British government came up to greet him, he couldn't help but add, "If no one hints or instigates, even if these officials are honest and dare to speak, they will not make a big deal about the affairs of the prince of the country." Just now, Wang Jin didn't know what to say in the emperor's ear, and I looked shocked and angry, as if there was something in the harem. ”
Zhang Fu is not in charge of the military now, Zhang Yue has not been assigned a new position, and his family is not in Beijing, so the two simply go back to the British mansion together. When they turned into the alley at the front gate of the British Mansion, the two found that there were cars and horses entering the corner gate, and they couldn't help but glance at each other. Sure enough, when they arrived at the East Corner Gate, the little guy who greeted them reported respectfully: "Master, Young Master, the second master and the third master are here with a few young masters." ”
Zhang Fu, who is a very popular minister, is not afraid of anything else now, what he is most afraid of is his two younger brothers, as soon as he heard that the two brothers actually came together, and brought a few of his nephews, his face couldn't help but sink. Zhang Yue had no one at home, and it was when there was nothing to do, he originally wanted to simply stay here for ten days and half a month, so that he could get along with his eight-year-old son, who knew that such a bunch of people would be killed. After pondering for a long time, he looked at Zhang Yue.
"It seems that I really can't keep you today......"
"It's such a coincidence, we just arrived on the front foot, and you guys actually came back!"
Hearing that Zhang Hui and his cousins were coming, Zhang Yue had already retreated, so he planned that as soon as Zhang Fu opened his mouth, he would immediately pull out his legs and leave, but before he finished speaking, a voice came from the screen door in front of him, followed by two people walking side by side with a smile. recognized that it was Zhang Hui and Zhang Xu, although he was extremely helpless, he could only come forward and see it according to the ceremony. But before he could find a reason to run away, Zhang Hui grabbed him, and his face was full of warm smiles.
"The third brother said well, it's better to be in time than to be in a hurry, I thought that I had to let someone go to Wu'anhou Hutong to ask for an invitation, who knew that Brother Yue actually came with the eldest brother today, and it also saved us a lot of effort. Have you forgotten what day it is? ”
Zhang Yue was inexplicably said by Zhang Hui, seeing that Zhang Fu was a little dazed, he was about to ask, Zhang Wei nodded at him with a smile: "It seems that you really forgot, today is your birthday." Although it's not a whole birthday, it's also fifty out of twenty, which is different from celebrating birthdays on weekdays. I thought you had to pass on the road, but who knew you would be in time. ”
