Volume 8 Chapter 179 Tough with Chongzhen
Early the next morning, about two quarters of an hour before Yinshi, Zhang Bin walked leisurely to the West Chang'an Gate as usual, lined up to enter the imperial city, and then walked outside the noon gate, and then stood in the position of the cabinet train with his hands, looking light and breezy, as if nothing had happened.
However, all the officials present looked at him differently than usual, some regretful, some unfair, some proud, and some gloating.
They all know that the emperor ordered Li Guangchun and Wang Jikui to be sent to prison, which is a sign that the emperor is attacking this prince and master, if Zhang Bin does not fight back, then I am afraid that he will be greeted by the disaster of the edict and even the disaster of extermination!
Will Zhang Bin fight back, if someone else makes him like this, he will definitely fight back, there is no doubt about this.
However, it's hard to say that it was the emperor who got him.
The so-called monarch wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, these years, in the eyes of the vast majority of people, the emperor is the sky, and the emperor is tough, normal people generally don't dare, unless it is stunned or there is something wrong with the brain, the problem is that Zhang Bin is not stunned at first glance, and there is nothing wrong with the brain.
After a long while, the bell and drum of the noon gate finally sounded, the early dynasty was about to begin, in the complicated eyes of thousands of courtiers, Zhang Bin still looked like a light and breezy appearance, indifferently walking in the front cabinet train, without the appearance of the emperor's tough neurosis.
After the beginning of the early dynasty, Zhang Bin did not show any abnormality, he was just like before, standing there pretending to be a stone carving Bodhisattva, his face was full of "kindness", motionless, no matter what the ministers reported, no matter how Chongzhen responded, he did not have a trace of reaction.
Many officials who want to see the excitement are extremely disappointed, and it seems that this Lord Zhang still doesn't dare to be tough with the emperor.
I didn't watch the show, it's really boring.
Zhang Bin really didn't dare to be tough with Chongzhen, of course not, the performance was over, and the ceremonial officer of Honglu Temple had just announced that he had something to do, and he had nothing to do to retreat from the court, and he came to the matter!
He coughed according to the rules, then strode to the middle of the imperial road with a piece of music, knelt down and said loudly: "Weichen is brave, may I ask the emperor, Li Guangchun, the left and right of the Imperial Palace, and Wang Jikui, the right of the Imperial Palace, have not made any mistakes, why were they sent to the edict for no reason?" ”
Groove, groove, groove, groove, groove!
Zhang Bin really jumped out!
Everyone knows that Li Guangchun and Wang Jikui are Zhang Bin's henchmen, and at this time the emperor arrested his henchmen, he actually questioned in front of the court, doesn't this slap the emperor's face!
The ministers didn't expect that Zhang Bin would really dare to jump out and be tough with the emperor, and he spoke so directly, without a little turn, this, this, this, this is simply too exciting!
The so-called watching the excitement is not afraid of big things, many idle courtiers have a fine light in their eyes, Zhang Bin finally couldn't help jumping out, now, finally have a good show to watch.
Chongzhen's eyes also showed a fine light, but this fine light was not because there was excitement to see, but because of surprise, anger, and even dissatisfaction!
He didn't expect Zhang Bin to jump out and question him, because in his impression, Zhang Bin has always behaved gentlely, what a heroic posture, that is also secretly, Zhang Bin has never shown it, such a gentle and humble gentleman suddenly jumped out and was tough with him, which really surprised him.
I am the emperor, you dare to be so rude, and you have turned the sky upside down!
Although you are a hero, I am not a rice bucket, so I don't believe that I can't cure you.
Chongzhen thought about it indignantly, and then replied coldly: "Whether Li Guangchun and Wang Jikui are at fault or not, it's not up to you to decide." ”
Zhang Bin was like taking the wrong medicine, and even asked: "Weichen dares to ask again, since the emperor has made a decision with the Sacred Heart, can you say which law of the Ming Dynasty they have violated, and what is the basis?" ”
This seems to be polite, but it is a huge pit, Chongzhen suddenly woke up when he heard the word "arbitrary", this is an early dynasty, thousands of courtiers are looking at it, if he is quite unreasonable, wouldn't he sit on the name of the faint king!
People can say that even if he is the emperor, he can't ignore the mouths of the people and blindly do it, if that's the case, will he be forced to abdicate and let Xian not say it for the time being, it will be stinking for 10,000 years.
Chongzhen didn't want to leave a stench for ten thousand years, he looked up at the ministers with different expressions, and then said coldly: "I received more than ten copies of the impeachment of them yesterday, which one they committed, this will only be determined after interrogation, in short, there is evidence that they violated the law of the Ming Dynasty." ”
Do you say they didn't break the law, it's simple, I'll give you a trick, what can you do!
At the beginning, many courtiers were indeed quite dissatisfied in their hearts, you are just the mediocrity of being the emperor, it is a matter of ability, innate, no one can do anything about this, but this is a bit too unreasonable, if you don't ask indiscriminately, whoever you want to put into the edict will be sent to the edict, then it is okay, who dares to serve such an emperor!
However, Chongzhen's explanation, the dissatisfaction in their hearts slowly faded away, it turned out that the emperor was just angry, so he scolded Zhang Bin, it seems that the emperor is still reasonable, it is good to be reasonable, but I am afraid that he will be unreasonable and act nonsense.
At this time, Zhang Bin seemed to be impressed by Chongzhen's "truth", and he nodded slowly: "Wechen understands, Wechen dares to ask again, Your Majesty, is there real evidence to prove that whoever violates the law of the Ming Dynasty should be sent to prison?" ”
Chongzhen understood at this time, although Zhang Bin dared to jump out and be tough with him, but he didn't dare to be rude to him, and even, this guy wanted to provoke him and make him behave unreasonably.
Will I be fooled?
I'll play with you, be reasonable, and see if your reason is big or my reason is big!
Thinking of this, Chongzhen said slowly: "This also depends on the severity of the situation, if it is a trivial matter, naturally there is no need to go to the edict, I am not so idle." ”
Zhang Bin nodded slowly and said: "Weichen understands, Weichen dares to ask again, Your Majesty, is it necessary to go to prison if you commit an unforgivable serious crime?" ”
This guy always bites the edict and insists on it, it is estimated that he has some scheme, but he can't get into his way.
Chongzhen thought about it carefully, and then nodded: "Yes, if someone commits an unforgivable felony, I will definitely send them to prison to set an example." ”
He can't say that it is not necessarily, he must be sure, otherwise, it will be unreasonable for him to send Li Guangchun and Wang Jikui to prison.
Zhang Bin seemed to be defeated for a while, Chongzhen was not unreasonable as he imagined, but reasoned with him, and what he said seemed to be very reasonable.
What should I do, is this all there is to it?
At this time, the light in the eyes of those courtiers who watched the excitement was slowly extinguished, anticlimactic, anticlimactic!
This Zhang Bin seemed to be reluctant at first, but after the emperor explained a few words, he was coaxed, and he lost his urine.
The emperor too, at first it seemed that he was going to be quite unreasonable and stubborn with Zhang Bin, but when he talked about it and talked about it, he was bored.
Is this really the end of it?
Of course not, Zhang Bin is not full of food, how can he lift a stone to hit his own feet, jump out and let Chongzhen kick back, he wants to give Chongzhen a kick!
