Chapter 901: Discussing Major Matters

There are not many family members of the Du family, after the two daughters got married, the Qiu family only used two girls, and then an older one got married, so she and her husband managed a small grange of two hundred acres added after the Du family, and she only used one person. Now it's because Xiao Wu is soft and hard, saying that her mother is old and has to be taken care of, and she has sent a young girl. Therefore, at this time, Du Juan hurried over, and the eleven or twelve little girl was suddenly in a hurry, but it turned out that Xiao Wu was still helping by the side, and she kept nagging.

"How many times have I taught you, my mother likes to drink weak tea, weak tea to nourish the body. My sister now has a body, and it is not appropriate to drink tea on an empty stomach, so she should send some candied fruits and other raw things. Also, when making tea......"

Seeing Xiao Wu chattering, Du Juan's original worries about his mother's injury suddenly faded a lot, and he couldn't help but hold Qiu's hand and whispered: "Mother, after Xiao Wu got married, he was much more capable than before." ”

"What else can I do, just now because I was worried that I was in a hurry, I hung the three soldiers and horses of Nancheng in Wanping County, Shuntian Mansion on the main hall, if it wasn't for the Yuan Festival, I don't know." Qiu Shi complained in his mouth, but a pleased smile appeared on his face, and he patted Du Juan's hand again and said, "Thanks to you, I can have such a good daughter...... Anyway, is it Xiao Wu who asked you to report the letter? It's just a little flesh wound, you are a person with a body, why be in such a hurry. ”

"He's here, how can I, the daughter, not come?"

Du Juan rolled up her mother's sleeve at this time, and when she saw the large bruise, her face suddenly showed deep anger, but she knew her mother's temperament and quickly covered it up. After a few words of gossip and a cup of tea for serving Qiu, she coaxed people to sleep, and then let the two girls watch carefully, and she pulled Xiao Wu out. Knowing the story of the conflict outside today, she frowned thoughtfully, and before she could come up with a reason, she saw Zhang Yue open the curtain and enter the door.

Xiao Wu was worried that Du Juan would reprimand him, and when he saw Zhang Yue, he suddenly felt like he had been amnestied, so he hurriedly ran forward and asked, "Brother-in-law, how are the three officials, didn't you complain about anything because of hanging them?" ”

"Are you still afraid of being sued?" Zhang Yue glanced at Xiao Wu, and then smiled, "Don't worry, I have already instructed them to do their own things." As long as the father-in-law is not angry and can sit on the cold bench here for an hour, they are naturally willing. ”

"Afraid of Daddy? I think they're afraid of you! Xiao Wu breathed a sigh of relief, stuck out his tongue and said happily, "Fortunately, I didn't take the baby out today, he is so small, he has to be scared to death...... Brother-in-law, I'll go out first to grab a pair of medicines and give my mother a good condition, after all, I was frightened today, just discuss what you and your sister have to do! ”

Seeing that Xiao Wu smiled and slipped away, Du Juan couldn't help but shake his head, and then looked at Zhang Yue with concern, and it happened that Zhang Yue also looked over at the same time. The couple stretched out their fingers and pointed to the west at the same time, and then looked at each other and smiled, Zhang Yue stepped forward to help Du Juan, and the two of them went from the main hall to the room together. After sitting down, Zhang Yueshao had to repeat the words of the three officials of Wanping County and Nancheng Terrach, Shuntian Prefecture, and then couldn't help but gently pat the armrest.

"This thing is strange, the Terracotta Division has limited manpower, and the same is true for the county government inspection, I think I still transfer a few more people from home to help. You stay to persuade your mother-in-law not to refuse, after all, this is my heart, and besides, I don't want to be afraid at home while you are pregnant with Rokka, right? ”

Du Juan knew that Zhang Yue seemed to be easy to talk to, but he was stubborn in some things, and besides, the Du family's manpower was indeed limited, and it was impossible to deliberately recruit anyone at this moment, so he nodded, and then asked: "According to what you say, the people of King Jin were instigated to be substitutes for the dead ghosts?" ”

"Heng and Zhu are all people who can never turn over, and the people who support him come to make trouble, and no matter how bad they are, they can't get any worse. If the emperor is angry, there may be a violent backlash from other vassal kings, and in the end, how can the father-in-law's new order to attack the vassal still be implemented? ”

"Daddy's temperament, has always been to do one thing to the end, this time my mother was injured, not only will he not retreat, but will be more determined to succeed, but also should send some people to guard the house, even Xiao Wu I have to warn her to run out less." After Du Juan finished speaking, he pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said, "Daddy, you put more effort into it, and you can't persuade him to come back, but he rarely looks forward and backward, but you are better than him in this regard, don't let people plot against him." As for the rest, you don't have to worry about it. However, this time there was no news about it beforehand, so you have to be careful not to make any mistakes. ”

The two discussed for a while, Zhang Yue took Du Juan in his arms, and whispered two more words, and then went out. After all, he, the squire of the military department, should have been working in the yamen at this time, if it weren't for the fact that Xu Kuo had just taken office, he would not even be able to draw this little bit of space, so he should naturally rush back at this time.

As soon as Zhang Yue returned to the yamen, Xu Kuo, who had already learned the news, naturally had to ask a few words, and then he explained, who expected that the palace also sent someone, but it was Cao Jixiang, who had now been promoted to the master of ceremonies. Now that the 24th Yamen of the internal officials is being rectified, he is also strictly abiding by the rules, waiting in the small hall outside the second gate, asking in detail what happened, he stood up and said that he wanted to go back to the celebrant to report, and hinted that the emperor was very angry when he heard about it, so he left in a hurry. When the government was dispersed in the evening, there were already little eunuchs waiting outside the yamen, waiting for Zhang Yue to enter the palace.

And when he went up to East Chang'an Street, he found that he was the only one who was summoned, and he did not discuss the three who were one level higher than him, Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Guo Jin, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and Wu Zhong, the secretary of the Ministry of Works. And the young eunuch who came just whispered that Yang Shiqi, Du Zhen, Yang Pu of the cabinet, as well as Jian Yi Xia Yuanji and British Gong Zhang Fu had already entered the palace one step earlier, and everyone gathered in the Wenhua Hall at this time, waiting for him alone. At this time, Zhang Yue knew that the call at this time was not a court meeting.

It's not a court meeting, but it's a level higher than a court meeting. Among the cabinet ministers, Yang Shiqi and Du Zhen have always been deeply trusted, and Jin Youzi is often sick now, so although he is an old minister of Yongle, his favor is not as good as before, but although Yang Pu's position is slightly lower, he has the momentum to replace him. Jian Yi Xia Yuanji was relieved of his ministry to concentrate on planning military affairs, and the British public Zhang Fu was also the same name. In the past, these three people only looked forward to the Shuo, but when they really encountered major events, the Son of Heaven naturally had to summon each other. As for him, he was called at this time, and his previous qualifications and merits were now secondary, just because he was trusted by the Son of Heaven.

After all, this is not about official rank, but about intimacy.

When he arrived at the Wenhua Palace, he found that at this time, everyone else had already arrived, but Zhu Zhanji had not yet appeared. Just when he was about to stand and wait, but a eunuch said that His Majesty would give him food, and for a while, everyone was busy and got up and went to the side hall. This is not a formal feast or a feast, so the ceremonial dishes are not so complicated, and there is everything on the table except for the lack of wine. However, neither Zhang Yue nor the others were in the mood to eat, and after filling their stomachs without saying a word, they put down their chopsticks almost at the same time.

From coming out to eat to returning to the main hall after eating, Zhang Yue didn't find the slightest opportunity to talk to Du Zhen, so he had to put down his thoughts. After waiting for a short time, a sharp announcement came from outside, and he hurriedly saluted with the others. When Zhu Zhanji, who was dressed in civilian clothes, sat down on the throne in the middle, and talked bluntly about the fact that the King of Jin was escorted into Beijing and the attack on Mrs. Du's Qiu family, all the people in the palace exchanged glances according to their mutual intimacy and friendship.

It's not so much about how to deal with the King of Jin tonight, it's better to talk about how to deal with the Jin Domain, and how to deter or appease the King of the World Domain!

"Rebellion was originally a great crime of not forgiveness, coupled with poisoning his mother, forcing his eldest brother, putting his brother under house arrest, bullying his children and nephews, King Jin is guilty of a heinous crime, how do you think you should deal with him?"

Naturally, this was not just a simple consultation, so after a period of silence, the British Duke Zhang Fu was the first to speak: "The law is strict, and if such heinous sinners are pardoned, there is no way to deter the vassal king, and the punishment should be justified." ”

As soon as the words fell, Xia Yuanji on the opposite side shook his head and said: "Although it is a heinous crime, from Hongwu to the present, if the vassal king commits a major crime, he will be summoned to the capital to take responsibility, and then imprisoned in the west or the Zongren Mansion, the King of Qi and the King of Gu, etc." Now if the king of Jin is punished canonically, what should the first few do? The second son of the king of Jin is still young, and the second son has been crowned king, if he is punished for the heinous crime, then how should these two county kings be dealt with? ”

Although Xia Yuanji is honest and self-controlled, and he can tolerate the mistakes of his subordinates, he is not a good stubble in court affairs, but now that he says this, anyone can understand that this is not to maintain the Jin Domain, but to think about the long term. Only Zhang Yue glanced at Zhang Fu, and saw that his eyes and nose and heart didn't seem to care about others' refutation of his words, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This lobby uncle...... You don't have to be so conspicuous, right?

"But if it's light, I'm afraid it will be repeated again and again in the future. You won't know that from the Yongle period to the present, it is not the first time that the relatives have committed the crime of rebellion. Du Zhen still had a cold face, as if he hadn't changed his face when he heard that his wife was injured just now, but those who were familiar with him could see the anger hidden under his cold face, "King Qi, King Gu, King Han, King Liang, King Jin...... If the great crime of rebellion is only abolished as a common person, from now on, those clans supported by the imperial court will not be able to guarantee that they will still have a rebellious heart. As for the two sons of the King of Jin, who have been crowned the king of the county, their county king Yulu is from the imperial court, and he did not persuade his father, nor did he think of playing to the court, this is the way of the son of man? ”

Naturally, this topic is a bit delicate. Everyone knows that if you want to say that the pro-vassal plot rebellion, the first one is the late Emperor Taizong Zhu Di. It's just that since he came on this dangerous road, Zhu Di naturally took strict precautions against his relatives - so, from the Yongle period to the present, the prince's guards have almost been cut again and again, and even Zhu Di's younger brother Zhu Hu, the king of Zhou, was cut three guards at the end of Yongle, not to mention others. And the rebellion of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han who held the guard, was not long ago.

"The Jin Wangfu also searched out the letters of the Han Shu people in Litong, the forbidden clothes of the Son of Heaven, and the palace officials also confessed to the previous smuggling of armor into Beijing, colluding with the guards and other illegal things, even so, it is indeed a heinous crime, and it should be punished according to the law. It's just that King Jin is a pro-vassal after all, and if it is a canonical punishment, I am afraid that the backlash will be not small. After all, there had never been an example of a feudal clan being dealt with before. ”

It is righteousness that speaks. He Hongwu Dynasty was appointed as a scholar in the middle of the house, Jianwen Dynasty super promoted the right servant of the Ministry of Servants, to the Yongle Dynasty, it was promoted by the left servant Lang to the Ministry of Shangshu, from Jinshi to Shangshu, a total of only more than ten years, now it is regarded as an old minister of the Five Dynasties, so he knows those allusions very well.

And Zhang Yue on the side thought that although the King of Qi and the King of Gu were only deposed as concubines, if it wasn't for the pioneer Han King Zhu Gaoxu who happened to "die violently", otherwise in order to show his tolerance, Zhu Zhanji must have only been imprisoned first, just like King Liang at this time - as for what to do with it later, it depends on the mood of the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty is so "benevolent", on the one hand, he abides by Zhu Yuanzhang's friendship, but on the other hand, he gradually blocks the channel for pro-feudal officials to interfere in politics from various matters such as guarding the fiefdom and the court, and establishes a more and more complete prevention mechanism. Really speaking, the best royal system is the Tang and Song dynasties, not to mention the appearance of many virtuous kings, and there have almost never been vassal kings rebelling.

The rest of the people argued a few more words, Zhang Yue did not say anything earth-shattering on this occasion, and in the end, Yang Shiqi, who had never been silent, spoke: "The king of Jin now has to add a family slave to commit murder, I think the kings will definitely be the same as before, and the king will say that the king of Jin violated the ancestral system, plotted against him, rebelled, and was punished without forgiveness." The same was true in the past, the more they said so, the more the emperor could not be punished severely, so he could only be lightly pardoned. Now that the princes' recitals should be on the way, let's see what they say. ”

Seeing Zhu Zhanji's thoughtful expression, Zhang Yue couldn't help but ask: "What does Elder Yang Ge mean is that the letters of the feudal lords this time will be different from before?" ”

"After all, this time the imperial court is hotly discussing the matter of the attack on the feudal domain, and in the past, it was just that the astronomical destruction of the situation caused this kind of thing to trap the king of Jin to death. The heart of the imperial court to punish the king of Jin is getting stronger, and the bigger the backlash among the relatives and vassals. Moreover, now that there are many things in the court, as far as I know, the threshold of the British government should finally be broken, right? Some of the petty officers who only wanted to enjoy the shadow of their ancestors went up there to try their best. In addition, Yu Qian presided over the Qingzhang Tianmu in Jiangnan, and he has had the experience of near-dying. ”

For a while, there was silence in the Wenhua Palace.
