Chapter 120: The Storm Above
In fact, many people don't know that Zhu Youzhen has already made up his mind that this Ji Feng must be executed by Ling Chi, and his family will also be beheaded to show the public, not because Zhu Youzhen is really ruthless, everything he does is to pave the way for Zhang Juzheng's rehabilitation in the future, and it also has the meaning of killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys.

After Zhou Yanru finished speaking, Liu Quan replied coldly: "If you are loyal to the country and the king, you can act so rashly, but I don't know that this rude move just now can be said to be to assassinate the emperor and punish his nine clans, which is also in the past." ”
"Lord Liu, what are you thinking?"
"This official has no communication with Ji Feng, and he can't talk about disgust, and when he talks at this time, he is just talking about things." Liu Quan did not retreat, and in this Taihe Palace, he went toe-to-toe with Zhou Yanru.
Seeing Liu Quan like this, Zhu Youzhen was also very satisfied, as Liu Quan thought, Zhu Youzhen promoted Liu Quan to be the imperial envoy of the capital, all of them watched Liu Quan be cautious, had no connection with any party, and his personality was relatively soft, which promoted Liu Quan, who was originally inactive, to the head of the speech and official system, but seeing Liu Quan doing so now, Zhu Youzhen was taken aback.
Zhu Youzhen also opened his mouth and said: "Ji Feng, this person is too bold, if he is not severely punished, it is not enough to correct the law and discipline, I have made up my mind, it is useless for you to plead, get up." ”
Zhu Youzhen's words lagged behind, kneeling officials, look at me, I look at you, but no one got up.
"Do you want to resist the decree too?" Zhu Youzhen said angrily.
Zhou Yanru, who took the lead and knelt on the ground, thought for a moment, if he rebelled against the emperor like this, then the rise of the Donglin Party would be even more hopeless, not to mention that the emperor was young, who knew what crazy things he would do when he was angry.
Zhou Yanru was the first to get up, and the rest of the officials also stood up after a moment of hesitation.
Li Guopu didn't say a word when he saw all this happening, and when Zhou Yanru stood up, Li Guopu came out and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen feels that although Ji Feng is guilty, he should be late, but there is no need to be so urgent, the New Year is coming, if it is dealt with before the year, it will be a little unlucky, Weichen thinks, it is better to put it in March next year and punish it." "This is also Li Guopu's cleverness, he is a civil official, of course he doesn't want Ji Feng to be executed by Ling Chi because of the confrontation of the imperial court, and the whole family is beheaded, in his thoughts, Zhu Youzhen's punishment at this time is because this Ji Feng is really rude to him, and when his anger is gone, he can also be lightly dismissed, but he thought wrong, although Zhu Youzhen was very angry at this time, but he was not carried away by anger, on the contrary, he was unusually sober, he Ling Chi Ji Feng, is it really because he is angry, no, he punished Ji Feng in order to establish the emperor's prestige, The Ming Dynasty has been established for a long time, and the official system has developed a habit that the emperor's words can be refuted, and he severely punished Ji Feng, which is to make the officials know in their hearts that their emperor is very different from the previous emperors.
Zhu Youzhen glanced at Li Guopu and said coldly: "Li Guopu, didn't you hear what I said, I said that I would be executed tomorrow, and Luo Yang's sex." ”
Luo Yangxing heard Zhu Youzhen shouting his name and hurriedly came out and said, "Weichen is here." ”
"You go down immediately, lead the Jinyi guard to arrest all the family members of Ji Feng, and behead the public at the entrance of the vegetable market at noon tomorrow." Zhu Youzhen immediately ordered.
"Wechen obeys." After finishing speaking, Luo Yangxing left for the Taihe Palace, he was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and he was a loyal supporter of the emperor, no matter how absurd the emperor's will was, he must unconditionally implement and obey.
After Luo Yangxing left the main hall.
Zhou Yanru hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I still want to think twice before acting, if you are convicted like this for a mistake, Weichen is afraid that he will be criticized by the world." ”
Zhou Yanru was backward, and many officials in the Taihe Hall opened their mouths to dissuade and plead.
However, Zhu Youzhen made up his mind and said firmly: "You don't need to say much, I have made up my mind, this Ji Feng will not put me in his eyes at all, if he is not severely punished, it will be passed out, and the world will criticize him, not to mention that Ji Feng actually viciously cursed me as the king of the dead country just now, just with these, I will not spare him." ”
After listening to Zhu Youzhen's words, Zhou Yanru was very sad, but now he knows that he can't change anything, it is difficult to really lead the officials to fight the emperor to the end, if he does this, not only will he not be able to save Ji Feng, but more people will be involved, he believes that Zhu Youzhen can do such a thing.
Zhu Youzhen looked at the cuffs, and then realized that the dragon robe was a little damaged in the tearing just now, so he took the opportunity to stand up: "Let's discuss tomorrow and retreat." ”
Of course, Zhu Youzhen will not retire from the dynasty because his clothes are damaged, he just sent Luo Yangxing out, but it is not just to arrest Ji Feng's family, this kind of trivial matter only needs to be explained, how can he need the dignified Jinyi Wei to command him to go out in person, Luo Yangxing went out of the palace in order to arrange a popular tide and shut up the officials who spoke against it.
Politics, vertical and horizontal, with the help of force, if the emperor and the courtiers have a confrontation, because the gap in identity is already in the upper hand, if Luo Yangxing can operate properly, it will no longer be difficult to rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng, and at that time, the implementation of the new policy in the first year of Chongzhen will be a gathering of water.
The civil and military officials in the Taihe Hall all saw that Zhu Youzhen's sleeves were torn, and it was reasonable to retreat from the dynasty, so they immediately bowed down.
When Zhu You checked out the Taihe Palace, the officials got up one after another.
"Nonsense, Zhou Shilang, you must dissuade the emperor with your heart and rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng, where is Emperor Zhishenzong? Doesn't this make the emperor unfilial? "A very fierce old minister who just jumped was talking to Wen Tiren in the Taihe Palace, and he didn't care about the other officials around him.
Zhou Yanru looked at this old minister with some dissatisfaction, and felt that this old minister was too eyeless, how could he discuss things in this place, he didn't speak, and went straight out of the Taihe Palace.
Liu Quan led a group of imperial historians to walk in the deep palace, and one of the imperial historians took a deep breath and said: "Just now Ji Feng went to arrest the emperor, but he frightened the official." ”
Liu Quan glanced back at the imperial historian and said softly: "This Ji Feng is also looking for death, doing this kind of thing at this juncture?"
"Then do you really want to Ling Chi Ji Feng tomorrow?" An imperial historian still didn't believe what had just happened in the Taihe Palace.
"Confused, isn't it, as soon as the emperor's golden mouth opens, whoever can stop it depends on Zhou Yanru and a few of them, and they can't afford to make any waves."
An imperial historian said, with a hint of schadenfreude in his tone.
Liu Quan said coldly: "This is in the deep palace, what do you have to say in private." ”
After Liu Quan finished speaking, no one dared to say anything in this batch of imperial history, and he didn't say anything all the way out of the palace. Liu Quan rushed straight to the house.
The carriage was walking on the street, Liu Quan saw that the street was sparsely populated, just when it was strange, a pair of soldiers came head-on, Liu Quan did not think of the emperor's order for a while, he was furious, and immediately got off the carriage, and when he saw the soldiers' armor and clothing, he knew that these soldiers were not in the Beijing Division, but the three battalions outside the city, and asked the pair of soldiers: "Who let you enter the city?" ”
Because Liu Quan was wearing an official mansion, the soldiers did not dare to be rude to him.
The leading soldier replied respectfully: "Report to your lordship, it is the order of General Cao. ”
"Cao Wenzhao, can there be an official document from the Ministry of War and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses?"
"The little one is just acting on orders, I don't know if there is an official document."
"Bold ......" Liu Quan just wanted to reprimand two sentences, and suddenly thought that Cao Wenzhao was a general dug by Zhu Youzhen from Liaodong, a high-ranking official, this Cao Wenzhao is loyal to Zhu Youzhen, if the emperor decrees, even if there is no official document of the Ministry of War and the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, Cao Wenzhao also has the right to transfer troops, Liu Quan At this time, his heart was already a little uncomfortable, although it was said that it was important for Zhang Juzheng to rehabilitate, but the soldiers walking around the city, what kind of system, although he was angry, but the timid and cautious Liu Quan had no intention of showing it at all.
"How many battalions have entered Beijing?"
"I don't know, I only know that there are 14,200 people in our military camp, and almost all of them have entered Beijing." The soldier replied truthfully.
Just now, there was a mistake in the characterization of the character.,It's been modified for the inconvenience caused to friends.,I hope to forgive me for the embarrassment.
