The next day was the day of the pilgrimage.

But this day was unfortunate.

Because Zhang Lingyang was 'sick' again.

In the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, Zhang Lingyang was lying on the bed, listening to the music girl's playing comfortably while knocking melon seeds, and he was in a very happy mood.

Sun Sheng stood next to him, looking like he wanted to say something, and Zhang Lingyang was very uncomfortable to watch.

"Sun Sheng, you old dog has something to say?"

Seeing Zhang Lingyang's question, Sun Sheng hurriedly replied: "Long live the lord, the former cabinet chief assistant Zheng Yongji, the left capital imperial history Li Guangtai and several other adults are outside the palace asking to see Your Majesty!" ”

"Didn't you see that I was 'sick', I can't see outsiders, why don't you go out and invite a few Aiqing to go?" Zhang Lingyang said disapprerovingly.

"Yes, the minion obeys!" Sun Sheng knew Zhang Lingyang's angry expression yesterday, how dare he implicate himself? After replying, he hurried out of the gate of the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Outside the Heart Cultivation Palace, Zheng Yongji and Li Guangtai were waiting hard.

At this time, seeing Sun Sheng come out, Zheng Yongji hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Grandpa Sun, but Your Majesty ordered me to wait?" ”

Sun Sheng smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Long Live Lord is 'sick' now, you adults should wait for Long Live Lord Dragon's body to be 'healthy' before entering the palace to see you!" ”

How could Zheng Yongji not understand the meaning of Sun Sheng's words?

After all, there was a sound of silk and bamboo in their ears from time to time, and they had been listening to it for a long time!

"This ...... Alas......" Zheng Yongji sighed and said to Sun Sheng: "Thank you Grandpa Sun for your kindness, we will retire first!" ”

After hugging his fist, Zheng Yongji turned around and walked away and walked outside the palace.

"Zheng Ge is old, let's stay first!"

Seeing Zheng Yongji retreating, Li Guangtai hurriedly shouted.

Trotting all the way to Zheng Yongji, Li Guangtai asked, "Is Zheng Ge going to retreat like this?" ”

"Otherwise, Li Yushi has other ways to fail?" Zheng Yongji smiled bitterly.

He didn't have the courage of Zhang Zhiyuan, and he dared to go straight to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Moreover, once Zhang Lingyang is doing some indescribable things in the Heart Cultivation Hall at the moment, then he Zheng Yongji has ten heads, which is not enough to cut off.

After all, Zheng Yongji has heard a lot of Zhang Lingyang's absurdity.

Especially after his wife saw her daughter Zheng Siqi several times in the palace, Zheng Yongji has a clearer understanding of the character of today's son of heaven.

If it weren't for the fact that this incident was too big, Zheng Yongji would not be willing to come to persuade Zhang Lingyang.

But as the first assistant of the cabinet, Zheng Yongji had to come forward.

Therefore, after the appearance was enough, Zheng Yongji left the palace without looking back.

Anyway, after going back, Zheng Yongji had an excuse to say it to his colleagues.

As for Li Guangtai?

Li Guangtai, who has always been upright, saw Zheng Yongji leave, and also left the palace.

As for why he didn't insist on staying to advise Zhang Lingyang?

That's not enough for outsiders.

In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Sun Sheng entered the hall and replied to Zhang Lingyang: "Long live the lord, Zheng Ge Lao and Li Yushi have already left!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Lingyang nodded noncommittally.

How Zhang Lingyang didn't understand that imprisoning those scholars was not a long-term solution after all.

And Zhang Lingyang didn't plan to cut off their heads.

After all, if Zhang Lingyang really did this, not to mention anything else, he would at least immediately push all the scholars in the world to the opposite side of him.

What is a scholar?

A gentleman is a gentry!

At present, Zhang Lingyang is not ready to deal with the gentry, so he is just putting on a show.

After detaining those troublemakers in Jinyiwei Prison for a few days, Zhang Lingyang decided to release them.

But when he went to the Qianqing Palace and saw the mountains of exhortations inside, Zhang Lingyang changed his mind and imprisoned those scholars for a few more days.

After another three days, Zhang Lingyang's 'illness' was completely cured, and he decided to go to the last morning court.

In the early dynasty, the natural ministers were furious and begged Zhang Lingyang to release the imprisoned scholars.

Looking at the officials who were admonishing, Zhang Lingyang said: "What kind of place is the palace, how can you allow the young people to come and make trouble? If this goes on for a long time, I am afraid that the country will not be a country.

I have made up my mind that I will not release those troublemakers, so you Aiqing don't need to advise anymore. ”

There is a royal history who admonished: "Your Majesty, Weichen secretly thought that those troublemakers were just hot-headed, and they thought about it unintentionally.

Your Majesty, you are the king of a country, and you can be angry with those scholars? ”

In the eyes of this imperial historian, Zhang Lingyang's current approach is no different from a child's anger.

Seeing that this imperial historian said this, Zhang Lingyang did not correct his language problems, but really said like a child: "If it is just because of this, I will turn a blind eye and it will be over."

But those scholars actually scolded me for being a dumb king!

Ladies and gentlemen, tell me, am I a faint king?

If I am a dumb king, can those scholars stay safe and sound in the edict prison? ”

Naturally, some officials came out with a dry smile and said, "Your Majesty, you are naturally not a dumb king. But if Your Majesty really keeps imprisoning those scholars, I am afraid that in the eyes of the people of the world, Your Majesty, you will really become a lawless king! ”

Of course, the people in this official's mouth are not those bitter people who face the land and turn their backs to the sky.

"Is that really the case?" Zhang Lingyang looked at the official in shock and asked.

"It's nature! But if Your Majesty can release those scholars in time, in the eyes of the people, you are still a saint! ”

"What Aiqing said is reasonable. I'm going to release them! "Zhang Lingyang said that he 'agreed' with this official's statement, and said that I will only be a Ming monarch in the future, so I will not be a faint monarch of Na Laoshizi?

For Zhang Lingyang's statement, I'm afraid that few people will believe it.

"But!" Zhang Lingyang's words suddenly changed and said: "These people have insulted the Holy Monarch, and they must not go unpunished, so let them each pay 10,000 taels of silver to atone for their sins!" ”

Hearing this, the officials in the hall couldn't help but be stunned, and at the same time sighed in their hearts: "It's still the original recipe, it's still the original taste, Your Majesty, you are really a greedy person for money!" ”

Of course, no one dared to express any objections to Zhang Lingyang's disposition.

After all, Zhang Lingyang has already made a compromise, and they can't force it too hard.

What's more, isn't there a saying that there are people who are promoted and promoted by Yinjinshi!

Anyway, who of these scholars doesn't have tens of thousands of taels of silver at home?

Moreover, the money is not from these officials, so what do they have to oppose?

Therefore, Zhang Lingyang's proposal was successfully passed without any objection.

After paying the fine, those scholars were naturally acquitted.

In the future, they are still high-ranking masters.

As for the fines?

Wouldn't it come back if you added 20% more land rent?

Who would feel sorry for that bit of silver?
