Only Zhu Youzhen and Zhou Yanru were left in the main hall. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The hall was very quiet, Zhu Youzhen had a immature face, and had no intention of speaking, after a pause, Zhou Yanru finally couldn't hold his breath and said: "Your Majesty, do you really want to execute Ji Fenglingchi tomorrow and behead the whole family?" ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled, picked up the teacup placed on the dragon case, took a sip, and looked calm, Zhu Youzhen knew in his heart that this week Yanru and the Donglin Party would intercede for Ji Feng, even if he collided with himself and caused greater consequences, he would not hesitate, Ji Feng was also a reckless person, if he followed the people of the Donglin Party to advance and retreat together, and did not act radically above the main hall, Zhu Youzhen really had no way to take them, but now that he has done radical behavior, it will cause trouble for the Donglin Party. And now this matter has also become a big killer weapon for Zhu Youzhen to deal with the Donglin Party.

"Under the holy decree, inform the Criminal Department that everyone has also been arrested, do you say that I will kill Ji Feng tomorrow?" Zhu Youzhen asked Zhou Yanru rhetorically.

"But whether this punishment is too severe, it can't be because Ji Fengtou bumped into the emperor and harmed his family. Even if Cui Chengxiu rebelled, didn't the emperor still let their family go? Zhou Yanru said bitterly, his face was also full of anxiety, of course, he knew in his heart that Zhu Youzhen, who was playing a plea for Ji Feng by the Donglin Party, would definitely not look at it, this might be the only time he had the opportunity to intercede with the emperor.

"Hmph, Zhou Yanru, you have lived for so many years, don't you understand, why did I let the young children and the old people go? At that time, I had just ascended the throne, and the foundation was unstable, although Cui Chengxiu fell, but the strength of the eunuch party was still there, I didn't want anything to happen, so I was extrajudicial and gracious, but now it is different from the past, Ji Feng dared to pull me above the main hall, and said wild words, cursing me as the king of the dead country, he is so arrogant, if I don't punish him severely, won't the Manchu Dynasty civil and military in the future follow him, you read a lot of books, don't tell me anything about Wei Zheng and Li Shimin, I ask you, what is Wei Zheng's final fate, Is my situation the same as Li Shimin's, you are a very smart person, what has become of the officials of the Ming Dynasty now, what is the world like, you know better than me, the party above the court is the same and different, the local classes and taxes are miscellaneous, the people are not happy, the army has no combat effectiveness, my Ming Dynasty must not be like this, so I am so eager to rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng, change the system of the court, and change the law to become stronger. Zhu Youzhen said with a hideous face, and after finishing speaking, Zhu Youzhen got off the dragon couch and picked up the letter of request that was placed there by the eunuch from the table.

After listening to Zhu Youzhen's words, Zhou Yanru's heart was full of shock, because the Donglin Party was not taken seriously, so Zhou Yanru had never been summoned by Zhu Youzhen, but he had only seen it at the court meeting, and he didn't know the emperor's inner world and his governance philosophy, but looking at Zhu Youzhen's appearance today, there was also some sadness in his heart, a seventeen-year-old boy, his brother died violently, and he took over this ruined dynasty full of devastation and sunset in the West Mountain without preparation, and after ascending the throne, he eradicated Wei Zhongxian and rectified the three major battalions, Attaching importance to Liaodong's alliance with Mongolia to resist the enemy, it can be seen from these few things how desperately the emperor hopes that the Ming Dynasty will become strong again, of course, Zhou Yanru is actually not a bad person, and he also has a lot of guilt in his heart, it is all because of their incompetence that makes the emperor so tired and so crazy.

"Your Majesty, the revitalization of the country is not an overnight thing, even if you want to adopt the new policy, you can't use Zhang Juzheng's politics and law, the new policy should be formulated by six ministries in conjunction with the cabinet, the imperial history road, the provincial governors, and the governors, and it will be approved by the emperor's imperial review, and at that time, no one will speak out against the new policy, and Zhang Juzheng can be rehabilitated, and even if the minister offends the emperor, he will be discouraged to the end." Some guilty Zhou Yanru regressed, in fact, he retreated a lot, although he said in his words, the new policy by the cabinet of the six departments, the imperial history of the road, the provincial governors, the governor of the joint consultation, but these are not realistic, if the imperial court wants to implement the new policy, only the emperor agrees, the cabinet issued, the provincial governors, the imperial history of the road, the six departments are just a formality, so Zhou Yanru's meaning is that as long as you do not rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng, then the new policy we Donglin Party will definitely not stop it.

Is Zhang Juzheng a villain? The official name of the folk Zhang Juzheng is very good, but that is just the folk, Zhang Juzheng's power is very great, almost more than all the previous cabinet chiefs, there are many people in the court who have some opinions about him, but at that time, Emperor Shenzong was young, Zhang Juzheng acted on behalf of the emperor, implemented the new policy, for a while, the scenery was immeasurable, and he became the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty, but he also offended many people, he did change the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ming Dynasty appeared strong in the early days of Shenzong, but what he did has also committed many taboos, This is also the reason why Zhang Juzheng died so tragically, most of the Donglin Party are pedantic readers, they think that Zhang Juzheng is extremely evil, the new deal is a disaster for the country and the people, and the people compete for profits, so they are so opposed to Zhang Juzheng's rehabilitation, in fact, now Zhou Yanru's regression and performance is only his personal opinion, he can only affect a small part of the Donglin Party personnel, these Zhu Youzhen are very clear, so Zhu Youzhen will not change his original intention, for Zhang Juzheng's rehabilitation must be placed before the implementation of the new policy, Even if the new deal has nothing to do with the new policy of Shenzong, it must be rehabilitated for Zhang Juzheng, because in this way, the legitimacy and legitimacy of the new deal are established, coupled with the rehabilitation of Zhang Juzheng, the efforts made by the emperor and the bloody storm above the court will also deter local officials, and the new policy can really be carried out.

"Zhou Yanru, you are wrong again, for Zhang Juzheng to be rehabilitated, not only for the new policy, I want the world to know, I am the Ninety-Five Supreme, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, I know in my heart that it is difficult to rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng, you Donglin Academy people are enough for me to be distressed, however, I will not be distressed for too long, compared with the tyrannical monarch and the king of the dead country, I want to be a tyrant, the court must rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng before the year, I tell you today, whoever prevents me from rehabilitating Zhang Juzheng, I will kill whom, Ji Feng is just the beginning, and the future noon, the future market will be very lively. Zhu Youzhen said and put down the petition again, and took two steps forward, he said that these words were actually not deceiving Zhou Yanru at all, he was telling the truth, cutting through the mess quickly is the best way to deal with this matter, if Zhu Youzhen does not use violence, those ministers will push tomorrow today, and the day after tomorrow, and the energy of the court will be attracted to the past, which is also the reason for the slow administrative speed of the court.

Zhou Yanru was silent, because he also knew that Zhu Youzhen was not lying to himself, but how should he choose, the farce of Guozijian gave Zhang Juzheng another excuse to rehabilitate, coupled with the attitude of the ruler, in anyone's opinion, it is an unwise choice to stop now, but people are so strange, even if you know that one thing is wrong, but you are unwilling to change, Zhou Yanru is very conflicted, his inner thoughts are all shown on his face, talking to this young emperor, let this sea of eunuchs rise and fall for decades, After experiencing the Donglin evil party case, Wei Zhongxian's old ministers in power felt pressure.

The willful and reckless young emperor will always do something crazy, not to mention that now that Zhu Youzhen is in power, he wants to violently break the political system that has existed for a long time in the Ming Dynasty, and now it seems so simple.
