As soon as Emperor Chongzhen asked, the focus in the Wenhua Hall was once again focused on Zhang Mingwei.
Zuo Liangyu's question is quite tricky. In addition to the heavy troops he has, there is also one thing that Emperor Chongzhen does not know, that is, Zuo Liangyu certainly knows the importance of having people in the court, so he is also willing to send money to the court.
In fact, this kind of thing is not only Zuo Liangyu's doing. As long as the generals with a little brains are doing this.
Therefore, many people are a little curious, how will this strange person answer this question of the emperor? You know, even they can't do anything about it. Looking at this young person, how much knowledge can he have, can he know the powerful relationship?
Zhang Mingwei didn't care what these civil officials and eunuchs thought of him, but turned to Emperor Chongzhen and said: "Your Majesty, Lu Xiangsheng started from the prefect of the Daimyo Mansion to lead the troops and the king of Qin, and he has made great contributions to the imperial court, how many people in the Chongzhen Dynasty can compare?" His credit is not blown, but it is a real record. As far as I know, he was called King Luyan by the thieves, the kind that can make the thieves fearful. In the end, Lu Xiangsheng resisted Jianyu and died in battle. Like Lu Gong, who is loyal to the country, should be widely publicized, enter the Loyal Martyrs' Shrine, enjoy the Ming incense, and be an example for Ming officials! ”
, The matter about Lu Xiangsheng, because of Yang Sichang, has been inconclusive for a long time. Even Lu Xiangsheng's remains were collected after 80 days. In the second year, Lu Xiangsheng's wife Wang asked for mercy, and in the third year, Lu Xiangsheng's younger brother Xiangjin and Xiangguan asked again, but they were not allowed.
If this were not the case, Liu Zongzhou would not have come up and asked to commend Lu Xiangsheng. Obviously, in his opinion, the conclusion of Lu Xiangsheng's coffin is a loyal minister who can set an example.
At this time, hearing Zhang Mingwei's words, Emperor Chongzhen immediately understood that there was definitely a positive evaluation in the history books of later generations. In this way, Emperor Chongzhen recalled every bit of his relationship with Lu Xiangsheng, and he was really moved. Even if Lu Xiangsheng didn't do what he wanted in the end, isn't that also a manifestation of loyalty to the country and a clear will to die? If you want to talk about loyal ministers, Lu Xiangsheng is definitely one!
Thinking of this, he immediately became serious, nodded and said, "Mr. is right, Lu Xiangsheng should be the first person to enter the Martyrs' Shrine." ”
Speaking of this, he remembered something, and then added hatefully: "The Hong thief is the first person to break into the treacherous hall!" ”
After Liu Zongzhou heard Zhang Mingwei's proposal, the emperor approved it and gave Lu Xiangsheng a very high evaluation, and his heart was immediately full of good feelings for Zhang Mingwei: This is a loyal and righteous person, but he can be a deep friend!
The other civil officials were all taken aback when they heard this, and they understood that Lu Xiangsheng's conclusion about closing the coffin was definitely not because of the influence of Liu Zongzhou's proposal. It is because of this person's evaluation that the emperor will have this decision. After so many years of delay, in a word, this person's influence on the emperor is so great!
Suddenly, these civil officials and eunuchs in the Wenhua Hall paid more attention to this person who came out of nowhere, and they wanted to know, if this strange person suggested arresting Zuo Liangyu, would the emperor really arrest Zuo Liangyu?
Thinking about it this way, except for Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the Ministry of War, who was a little nervous and didn't know how Yang Sichang would deal with it, most of the others focused on how to respond to Zuo Liangyu's matter.
They believe that what kind of ability this strange person has is capable of, and this matter of Zuo Liangyu will be a touchstone.
I only heard Zhang Mingwei still talk to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, as for whether Yang Sichang is a traitor to the country, I am still not sure, and I will make a conclusion after I understand it later?" ”
Just framed Lu Xiangsheng with Gao Qiqian, Zhang Mingwei had a very bad impression of Yang Sichang. Not to mention, he also suspected that Yang Sichang and Jin Shang also had dealings, so he recommended Chen Xinjia to come up. However, this is just a suspicion, if there is evidence to prove this, then it is not too late to close Yang Sichang's coffin.
In addition, another reason for him to say this is that in the matter of Lu Xiangsheng, there may not be Emperor Chongzhen himself. Although Emperor Chongzhen himself definitely did not mean to kill Lu Xiangsheng, he just wanted to promote peace talks with Jianyu. But Yang Sichang and Gao Qi dived ruthlessly, and there was also a certain responsibility of Emperor Chongzhen. It is not appropriate to draw conclusions about this matter to Yang Sichang.
In addition, after Yang Sichang's death, Emperor Chongzhen personally wrote a memorial text, posthumously presented the crown prince and the prince, and lamented: "Since Yang Sichang's death, there is no longer a person who can supervise the teacher and level the thief." ”
Although he also ordered Yang Sichang to be held accountable for the fall of the two feudatories, he was finally exonerated with the example of "discussion of merit". In response to the attack on Yang Sichang, Emperor Chongzhen also stayed in the center. He summoned the six officials of Jiuqing, Kedao and other officials into the palace and announced: "Yang Sichang is used by me, and the use of troops is ineffective, and I will judge myself; It is advisable to have it. Then he reprimanded Shangshu's ministers as "rejected by everyone and intent on making a name for themselves." …… should have been re-governed, but you said that I would protect the heirs and forgive this experience. ”
It can be seen that Emperor Chongzhen actually had a very good impression of Yang Sichang, and even the crime of killing the governor before he fell into the clan was taken on himself, excusing Yang Sichang.
Therefore, if you want to say that Zhang Mingwei just opened his mouth and designated Yang Sichang as a traitor to the country, it will definitely make Emperor Chongzhen feel awkward.
Zhang Mingwei is not stupid, he will not really be the emperor of Chongzhen, he will not have his own opinions, and listen to himself 100%. Sometimes, it is still necessary to talk about the way of speaking and doing.
No, at this time, when Emperor Chongzhen heard Zhang Mingwei say this, he didn't feel any unpleasantness, and immediately nodded and said: "Mr.'s words are right, but also!" ”
He agreed with this, first, he believed in Zhang Mingwei, and second, he already understood that Lu Xiangsheng had died after he had done his best for the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, it will be the same as in history to reprimand Liu Zongzhou for selling his reputation.
When Chen Xinjia heard this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, he was most afraid that he would make a conclusion to Yang Sichang on the spot. In this way, Yang Sichang is his benefactor, and he has to jump out of the ring to fight this strange person.
Although Liu Zongzhou is the imperial history of Zuodu, he is not afraid at all. But this strange person is too trusted by the emperor, and he is not sure at all in the face of such a person. Therefore, with a buffer room, he decided that he must make good friends with this strange person when he turns around, anyway, he has the silver, and he will smash it to smash Liu Zongzhou's attack on Yang Sichang this time.
He was thinking that Zhang Mingwei was already answering Emperor Chongzhen's matter about Zuo Liangyu: "I also heard that this Zuo Liangyu is arrogant and domineering, and he doesn't take the court seriously. For example, he has self-respect for his troops and does not listen to the orders of his superiors; Moreover, he has a large number of troops, which has seriously exceeded the upper limit of the strength of a general army. There are also thieves who are not effective, leading troops to flee at every turn, and even robbing the people of Daming like thieves, doing the same things as thieves......"
Hearing him say these words, Liu Zongzhou nodded excitedly. It seems that this strange person is a like-minded person, he is so trusted by the emperor, and if he says the same now, it seems that Zuo Liangyu's good days are over!
When Zhou Yanru and the others heard this, they looked down on Zhang Mingwei by a point, and in their hearts classified Zhang Mingwei as a clear stream like Liu Zongzhou, and they knew that they were just talking.
Even Emperor Chongzhen frowned when he heard this, and even Mr. said so, although he didn't mind punishing Zuo Liangyu, the key was that it was not easy to deal with!
Just as they were thinking this, Zhang Mingwei's tone changed, and his voice was much higher, which immediately attracted their attention.
