After a while, it was Emperor Chongzhen himself who broke the silence and said in a cold voice: "The Hong thief voted for Jianyu, and all those things have been withdrawn!" ”

As soon as he heard this, all the civil officials and eunuchs in the Wenhua Hall looked up at him. One by one, even if many people are very deep, they can't help but show surprise.

You must know that Hong Chengchou has always been a model among civil officials in the Ming Dynasty.

He came from a poor family, dropped out of school at the age of 11, helped his mother make dried tofu at home, and went to Yingweipu every morning to walk the streets and alleys to sell dried tofu and go to the school to listen to lectures. But even in such a difficult environment, he finally won the championship at the age of twenty-three, and won the fourteenth place in the second class the following year.

After Hong Chengchou became an official, he was very good at being a man, and no one could be offended, even if during the Apocalypse, Wei Zhongxian was powerful, but he was still promoted. After Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he liquidated the eunuchs, and he was fine.

Later, Hong Chengchou showed his talent for commanding troops and suppressing thieves, and as a result, he was promoted quickly, and at the age of twenty-seven, he became the governor of Yansui and became the feudal official of the Ming Dynasty.

Such an experience is not an inspirational role model!

Therefore, when they heard that Hong Chengchou, who was already the commander of Jiliao, was defeated, everyone thought that he must have died a martyr. For this reason, Emperor Chongzhen decided to personally set up an altar and an ancestral shrine to commemorate him, and the ministers did not object. This situation is rare in the late Ming Dynasty when party strife was so serious.

Other courtiers, such as Sun Chengzong, who was not defeated in battle, but the whole family died after returning to his hometown, did not have such an honor!

Therefore, when the people in the Wenhua Hall heard the news that he had defected to the enemy, they were really quite surprised.

One of the ministers was named Zhang Sizhi, and he couldn't help but confirm: "Your Majesty, is this news wrong?" ”

When the others heard this, they even ignored Zhang Mingwei for the time being, and they all stared at Emperor Chongzhen and other answers.

However, Emperor Chongzhen's face sank, and he did not answer this question, but shouted coldly: "Perform something! ”

When everyone in the palace saw it, they knew that it was most likely true, or rather, it must be true, no wonder the emperor was so angry!

At this moment, everyone felt that they had found the reason why Emperor Chongzhen was so abnormal, it was really this Hong Chengchou who lived up to the grace of the saint!

Zhou Yanru understood this, and couldn't help but sigh that he was unlucky, he knew this, and after a little endurance, the emperor announced the news, and he would not use the sacrificial text to touch his head.

Thinking so, he immediately crumpled the sacrificial letter into a ball and stuffed it into his sleeve, and then played it indignantly: "Your Majesty is very kind to Hong Chengchou, and the gentleman's grace is like the sea, but he is so incorruptible and shameless, and it is really an unforgivable sin to do such a shameless thing. ”

Speaking of this, Zhou Yanru raised his voice and said very angrily: "Weichen suggests that the nine clans be punished, so as to set an example for future generations!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!" Wei Zhaocheng, an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, echoed the column.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

“……”

Even if someone defected to the enemy before, there was no precedent for the Ming side to say that they would kill the nine clans. But at this time, many civil officials came out to echo it, all of them looking indignant.

I have to say that there are really very few civil officials in the Ming Dynasty who surrendered to Jianqing. The surrender of a high-ranking Ming official like Hong Chengchou, at least he was the first at this stage, seriously damaged the self-esteem of the civilian clique. In the future, what face will you have to scold those martial artists? The way of the saints has been learned in the belly of the dog!

The so-called deep love is responsible. Similarly, the more high hopes are placed on Hong Chengchou, the more sad his surrender behavior is.

Seriously, Emperor Chongzhen at this time couldn't help but be really moved by their suggestion. After pondering for a while, he looked at Zhang Mingwei's back, changed his tone and asked, "What does Mr. think?" ”

When he asked, these people in the Wenhua Hall remembered that there was a very strange person here, who was this person?

Zhang Mingwei didn't care about those civil officials, but stood up and turned to Emperor Chongzhen, thought about it and saluted before saying: "No one thought of Hong Chengchou's defection to the enemy, even if it was his family, he shouldn't have thought of it. If he doesn't count his defection to the enemy, at least he has contributed a lot to Da Ming before, and even the Nine Clans like this, forget it! ”

He didn't say this to speak for Hong Chengchou, but he remembered that Hong's mother scolded her son, and Hong Chengchou's defection to the enemy was not accepted by his brother. In short, this kind of thing of forgetting one's ancestors is really not something that anyone will recognize.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't know this, but he listened to Zhang Mingwei's words very much, so after Zhang Mingwei finished speaking, he said to the ministers: "This matter will be up to Mr., so it will be decided." ”

"......" When the people in the Wenhua Hall heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they were all speechless.

Of course, they could see that the emperor was inclined to exterminate the clan and punish the crime just now. However, as soon as this strange person said it, he immediately changed his mind.

Not to mention, they were all human spirits, and from the conversation between the emperor and this person just now, they immediately felt that the emperor cared very much about this person's opinion. This made them jealous and at the same time, they added a curiosity, who is this person?

The accent is also very strange, it seems to be a bit similar to the south, but if you think about it, it doesn't feel like something to the south.

Who the hell is this?

But it's in front of the emperor, although they really want to know who this person is, but the emperor doesn't say it, and they don't dare to ask. If the emperor wants to say it, he will naturally introduce it to them.

Only those eunuchs who were the celebrant and the eunuch Bingbi had a rough idea in their hearts, and they heard that a very strange person came to the palace yesterday to meet with the emperor, the prince and Princess Kunxing, and then a series of major events happened. I guess the person in front of me is!

They were thinking about it, when they heard Emperor Chongzhen add with a calm face: "It's really a shame for me to remove those altars and shrines!" ”

Such a high-ranking official and a saint disciple of the Ming Dynasty surrendered and rebelled, which really disgraced the face of the emperor and civil officials.

Thinking like this, these people in the Wenhua Hall were about to open their mouths to echo, but they heard Zhang Mingwei speak first: "Your Majesty, wait a minute!" ”

......When everyone heard this, they were stunned, what did they mean? Could it be that this man still disagrees with the emperor?

Emperor Chongzhen was also a little puzzled, but he knew that Zhang Mingwei must have his reasoning, so he asked in a gentle tone: "Sir, please say something!" ”

"......" These people in the Wenhua Palace are a little dumbfounded, the emperor is too polite to this person, what is the origin?

The more curiosity prevails, it is also mixed with envy, jealousy and hatred.

At this time, I heard Zhang Mingwei say: "Your Majesty, it is better to take this opportunity to set up the Martyrs' Shrine and the Traitor Hall, and the two are set up opposite each other. Those who are loyal to the country and die in state affairs will enter the Martyrs' Shrine, enjoy the Ming incense, and be admired by the people of the world; And those who ignore the grace of the monarch in vain, forget their ancestors, and betray the country to seek glory, they will enter the traitorous hall, so that the future generations of the world can see their faces clearly, and they will always be ashamed and take warning! ”

Originally, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to open an altar and set up a shrine for Hong Chengchou, just because he wanted people from all over the world to learn from him and take him as an example. Therefore, Zhang Mingwei's idea is also the same meaning, which immediately hit the heart of Emperor Chongzhen. What's more, a traitorous hall has also been set up to compare, and the effect is definitely better.

In this way, Hong Chengchou's surrender to Jianyu can be regarded as an explanation, and he will definitely enter the traitorous hall. Compared with punishing his nine clans, it is estimated that some people will be jealous.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he finally showed a smile and said, "Sir's words are very good, I am right!" ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhou Yanru, his face immediately turned cold and said, "This matter will be supervised by the cabinet." ”

Feeling the rapid change in the emperor's face, Zhou Yanru sighed in his heart, and then he was even more jealous of Zhang Mingwei, but he would not show it, and immediately received the decree, and suggested: "Weichen thinks that Hong Chengchou is so treacherous that he should be scolded by all generations!" ”

The other courtiers also guessed that this Hong Chengchou would definitely not be able to escape, so they all came out one by one and said indignantly that Hong Chengchou should enter the traitorous hall.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen would not have an opinion, so he was approved.

Poor Hong Chengchou, because of Zhang Mingwei's appearance, he was scolded by the world in advance.

Then, it came to the stage of the ministers.

At the same time, the eunuch Xu Gao rushed to Jiadingbo's mansion by order.
