Chapter 337: Which is right and which is wrong

As soon as the emperor's voice fell, a four-grade official came out, and it seemed that it was Lang Zhong of that ministry and said: "Your Majesty, this time Lord Zhang and his entourage have achieved such great results in negotiations with everyone, this is the biggest victory over the 'Mongolian' ancients for many years, and the minister suggested that Lord Zhang and Lord Lan should be rewarded again."

Then there were a few officials who followed the voices, and when these people went down, it was a five-grade imperial history, and the imperial history stood up and said: "Long live the Qiyu, Lord Weichen thinks that Lord Zhang and Lord Lan are not only useless, but also have a fault," as soon as this person said this, the hall was 'chaotic', and those ministers were all chattering, 'handing' their heads, and talking in their hearts, and there was such a thing, this imperial history is too ignorant, such an obvious achievement can become a fault, and everyone is waiting for that imperial history to continue to talk and see how he reverses black and white

"Zhang Yushi, tell me about Lord Zhang and your lord, how can you be useless," Ming Muzong asked

"The emperor has three major mistakes in this negotiation, the first is the third Qincha, why only Lord Liu died at the post station, but Lord Zhang and Lord Lan are still masters and apprentices, which has to make people wonder why the two adults are fine, and Weichen feels that there is something greasy in this."

"The second is that Weichen heard that when the two adults were in the Xuanfu, they had a very close relationship with the 'Mongolian' ancient Altan Khan, and as Lord Zhang, I was the cabinet minister of my Heavenly Dynasty, and I was so close to a foreign enemy in the past, which lost the prestige of my Celestial Minister, maybe Lord Zhang will say that this is a negotiation need, but you must know that Lord Zhang and Lord Lan, you are not only representing yourself, but also the face of our Ming Dynasty, so you are 'communicating' with the 'Mongolian' ancients, it really makes me feel that you have lost the face of the imperial court, and lost the face of my Han people."

"Thirdly, in the absence of a long live will, with the 'Meng' ancients to 'hand' the military food for war horses, this is the behavior of the enemy, think that the 'Mongolian' ancients should have no food, so there is this strategy, as a second assistant, Lord Zhang, as a second assistant, will not understand that this is the three mistakes that Weichen said, of course, Lord Zhang, they also have merit, but the merit is meritorious, it is a small official and a low position, but the humble position does not dare to forget the country, so I say it here."

After this Zhang Imperial Envoy finished speaking, there was silence in the hall, everyone was thinking, what people said made sense, Zhang Juzheng and I had long expected that these idlers in the court would definitely find trouble, but I didn't expect it to come so soon, and I just came back

"Master Zhang, Lord Lan, do you have anything to defend against Imperial Envoy Zhang's words?"

"Long live Qiyu, for the words of the imperial envoy Zhang, the old minister has a few words to say, for Lord Liu, the unfortunate death, the official is also heartbroken, but the official is responsible as a messenger, I am a Wenchen, often in the cabinet, rarely go out of Beijing, and I did not expect that the current public security will be so poor, the post station is so close to the capital, there is such a thing happening, I and Lord Lan luckily escaped a catastrophe, there is no mistake, the old minister who went to the Xuanfu negotiation, and did not become a sinner through the ages, it is also a great luck, the old minister just wants to say that for Lord Liu, who is responsible for the death of Lord Liu, the lord and the emperor are already very clear, and the official does not want to say more here”

Zhang Juzheng said this, although he is not named, who is responsible, but it is already very clear that he is a civil official, and he does not go out of Jingqincha, and the security problem should be responsible for the guards, but Zhang Juzheng didn't want to offend Cheng Anhou, so he said that it was so close to the capital, and there was such a thing happening, this is even Shuntianfu, Jinyi, Weidong Factory, and it was involved together, and there were too many lice, and if they didn't bite people, they would simply expand the responsibility and see how the emperor dealt with it

This first defense brought the majority of people's views back to Zhang Juzheng's side, and Zhang Juzheng continued: "The second point I want to say is that in order to negotiate with the 'Mongolian' ancients to fight for the greatest rights and interests of our dynasty, the old man is a little close to the Altan Khan, but we are a country of etiquette, and hospitality is the foundation of my dynasty." Se: "The official just negotiated with the Altan Khan a few more times for the terms of the two sides, this is not my own go, Lord Lan is also present, the official plays the book every day, the emperor also knows, if Lord Zhang thinks that this matter has lost face, just a few days later, he will send someone to the Xuanfu to negotiate the issue of mutual markets, the emperor, I think Lord Zhang is very suitable, and I will also go to get back the face that the official has lost."

After Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, Ming Muzong said: "Master Zhang told me about this matter, I also approve of it, and this article is invalid," Ming Muzong directly denied Zhang Yushi's impeachment

"Regarding the third article, this is the decision of this official on his own initiative, why our army of the Ming Dynasty is at a disadvantage in the battle with the 'Mongolian' ancients, that is, we do not have a strong cavalry team, we do not have good stallions, and we do not have good pastures, please ask Zhang Yushi, if Altan Khan's 200,000 cavalry is driven straight in, no matter what you use to resist, do you have to use the blood of the soldiers?" Meat's body, this official really wants to have a strong cavalry that can fight against these people on horseback, we don't have any stallions, we don't have pastures, what do we rely on to build our own cavalry team, just buy it, this is a good opportunity, as for what price to buy these officials, it is also clear that the emperor still has a secret, it is inconvenient to say it here, if the lord still has doubts, you can come to the cabinet tomorrow to find this official, this official will answer one by one."

The three articles were rejected by Zhang Juzheng, and those courtiers also knew that if they did it themselves, it would not be as good as Zhang Juzheng's affairs, but the "problem" of the Chinese people was envy, jealousy and hatred, so many people were still unconvinced, except for Zhang Juzheng's cronies

"The emperor's ministers have something to say," I saw Yang Bo, the secretary of the military department, coming out

"If Lord Yang has something to say, just say it"

"Your Majesty, the invasion of the 'Mongolian' ancients is the largest and most imposing one in the past few years, but it is the one with the smallest loss for us, and after the reason, what do you think is the reason," Yang Bo said here, paused and looked around at the important ministers in the hall

"Since you don't say it, then the official will tell you, this is due to the proper handling of Lord Wang, the effective negotiation between Lord Zhang and Lord Lan, not that." Meng's ancients were afraid, your own official also read all the scripts of Lord Zhang, which one is not powerful to me, the Ming Dynasty, and the other is to lose the face of our Han people, speak to talk about conscience, you are all scholars, you must distinguish between right and wrong, don't come out to belittle others for the interests of your own small circle, Lord Zhang not only completed the established negotiation task, but also asked Zhao Quan, the leader of the White Lotus Sect, who I have not caught for many years, this is what you can do, this official just came out to say a few fair words, there is no other meaning, you Zhang Yushi has the right to hear about it, but don't do those things that are close to the relatives and enemies, and come out to chill the heart of the Qing official”

"What Lord Yang said is reasonable, I want to tell you today, as long as you work for the imperial court sincerely, I will not doubt it, nor will I be stingy with rewards, I have decided that the second assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Juzhengguan, will be promoted to a level and reward ten thousand taels of silver, Lan Yunjie will assist Lord Zhang in negotiations, and I will not give you a promotion of ten thousand taels of silver, and the rest of the personnel have Zhang Juzheng and Lan Yunjie to play a detailed list of their merits, and then there is a will, the family of Lord Zhang who died in battle will be compensated according to the fallen soldiers, and one person will enter the country, and one person will enter the country, and the family of Lord Liu will not be treated badly, and the pension of 10,000 taels and one person will be the official position of the seventh grade, and this matter can be handled by the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Rites, and it will be good to retire from the court”

As soon as we were grateful, as the ministers withdrew from the main hall, Zhang Juzheng said to me: "Yun Jie, you go to the cabinet with me, let's discuss the personnel who need to be rewarded."

Following Zhang Juzheng, we walked to the cabinet, Gao Gong didn't say a word today, and he hurriedly walked in front, only Li 'Chun' Fang came over and said hello to Zhang Juzheng and me, and it was just a kind word

When he came to the cabinet, he came to Zhang Juzheng's room, and the servant brought tea, Zhang Juzheng said: "Yun Jie, you said that you should write for the teacher, don't miss everyone, but also report the number of their kills, you can't lose them."

"Okay, teacher, these 'attendants' who followed are all credited, my family members are just those few fathers-in-law must be written, and now there are two injured ones in Xuanfu who have not returned, they are also heroic and can't be treated badly, they are just General Wu of the Beijing army, how can they write it, this is too much"

"Is this, when Cheng'an comes back, I'll discuss with him again, let's do our own thing first, and your family members will report it up, thanks to them along the way, if they don't report it, I'm afraid it will chill their hearts."

"Teacher, I'll reward them alone, I'll give them all my bounty, and I don't want it myself."

"Okay, that's your family affair, the old man doesn't mix, now it's written, you go to the ya'men' to have a look, or go home"

"Teacher, I want to go to the ya'men first, see if I'm home, it's okay, it's better to be outside."

"Okay, you also hurry up and get married, time waits for no one, it's good to have a family with someone to take care of you, now that you're back, hurry up and go to the Wei Mansion to have a look, and it will save Miss Wei's worries."

Farewell, Zhang Juzheng, I came outside, now there is no sedan chair, a good wearing civilian official uniform, riding to Xiao Cai's mansion, and to Xiao Cai's mansion to see the 'door' soldiers see that we are coming, just want to go in to report that I stopped me, I want to see what they are doing, the horse 'handed' to Lao Liu, led me to the outside of the 'door', many customers inside also have silver deposits, some take silver, very lively, the people inside did not notice that I came in, I saw that Wang Jinhuai was also busy inside, so quietly came to the counter to see what he was doing
