Chapter 129: It's a Foregone Conclusion

Liu Quan glanced at Zhou Yanru and said with a sneer: "What does Zhou Shilang mean by this, is it possible that he is insinuating the emperor?" Liu Quan's words are heart-wrenching. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhou Yanru just wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Zhu Youzhen: "You two don't quarrel anymore, Luo Yangxing, Ling Chi Jifeng, but get ready." ”

Luo Yangxing heard Zhu Youzhen talking to him, and hurriedly stepped out to respond: "Your Majesty, last night, the heavy snow hit, and Weichen has sent someone to clean the execution ground, and he will not delay the execution at noon." ”

As soon as Luo Yangxing said this, many civil officials couldn't hold back their emotions and turned their heads and ears one after another, seeing that a wave of opposition was about to begin.

Zhu Youzhen saw all this happening clearly, and also knew that the officials were going to start pleading, so he hurriedly threw out the incident of Ju Zhengshe yesterday.

"A group of folk scholars spontaneously set up Juzheng Society, they feel that the imperial court wants to change the lives of the people, eradicate border troubles, must change the law to become strong, they all think that during the Shenzong period, the crime of Zhang Juzheng, the abolition of the new policy, is the mistake of the imperial court, today, should be Zhang Juzheng rehabilitated Zhaoxue, restore the new policy, these in Beijing reading no less than a thousand people, yesterday on a letter of request, come to people, stretch out the letter of request, let all the ministers take a look." Zhu Youzhen said very casually.

After receiving the order, the two eunuchs took out the petition and stretched it out.

The civil officials all looked forward, but because they were in the Taihe Palace, the officials did not dare to move, and looked at the petition from a distance, not knowing what was written on it, only seeing the names and seals.

At this time, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites is Wen Tiren, Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru have not been in a very good relationship, of course, his situation is the same as Zhou Yanru, he can't enter the emperor's sight, there is no hope of promotion, it is not good, the emperor will free his hands, and he will clear himself out of the officialdom and replace it with his own people, so Wen Tiren is very anxious, he has been waiting for the opportunity to show loyalty to the emperor, originally the farce at yesterday's court meeting was an opportunity for him, but he gave up, that is because yesterday was too chaotic, and the emperor was also very angry, Even if he rushed out to speak for Zhang Juzheng at that time, it didn't have any effect, but after yesterday's chaos, this court meeting seemed very calm, and it was a good time.

Wen Tiren said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that these scholars are dedicated to the country and should be praised, and the court should rehabilitate Zhaoxue for Lord Zhang Juzheng and return the truth to the world." ”

Wen Tiren's words opened another chapter, Liu Quan's imperial history came out one after another, beating the drum and shouting for Zhang Juzheng's rehabilitation, if you don't know the internal situation, people who don't know the truth will think that Zhang Juzheng's rehabilitation is the official's heart, Zhou Yanru looked at the situation in front of him, sighed, and didn't know what to say to stop the development of the situation in front of him, he had a feeling of powerlessness to stop it.

Zhu Youzhen, who was sitting on the dragon seat, waved his hand, and no one in the hall was speaking in the hall, Zhu Youzhen looked at Li Guopu and asked his opinion: "Li Guopu, you are now acting as the first assistant, do you think I should rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng?" ”

After the matter of Zhang Juzheng's rehabilitation was raised, Li Guopu never expressed his support, and Zhu Youzhen today publicly expressed his support for Zhang Juzheng's rehabilitation and support for the implementation of the new policy to coerce Li Guopu at this court meeting, because only in this way will Zhu Youzhen officially appoint him as the first assistant to the cabinet in the first year of Chongzhen, and will the implementation of the new policy be handed over to Li Guopu.

Li Guopu knows about yesterday's Guozijian incident, of course, he also knows Zhu Youzhen's intentions, if you support Zhang Juzheng's rehabilitation, I will use you, you don't support, I'm sorry, in the first year of Chongzhen, you were like Huang Liji, resigned and returned to your hometown, and now it is not a simple matter of resigning from the office, now a group of talents are involved, and many students of Guozijian have also been arrested, if you don't support it, God knows how Zhu Youzhen will punish most of the people who make trouble, and when the time comes, the people in Shilin will settle this account on their heads, Of course, today's situation has made Li Guopu a little unexpected, relying on the Juzheng Society's letter, the farce of the Great Dynasty, the situation has been grasped by Zhu Youzhen step by step, in fact, the last hope of the opposition is also pinned on Li Guopu, if Li Guopu openly opposes the rehabilitation of Zhang Juzheng at this time, they still have the strength to fight, but if Li Guopu agrees, even if they are making trouble, they will not be able to make any waves.

Li Guopu said softly: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that Zhang Juzheng should be rehabilitated. ”

After Li Guopu finished speaking, Zhu Youzhen laughed heartily.

Zhou Yanru's heart also fell to the bottom, he knew that because of the rehabilitation of Zhang Juzheng, the emperor was already full of disgust with the Donglin Party, and it would become more difficult for them to speak in front of the emperor in the future, Zhou Yanru glanced to the left at the triumphant Wen Tiren and sighed.

Zhou Yanru is one of the representatives of the Donglin Party in the late Ming Dynasty, to be honest, in history, his reputation is not bad, of course, in talking with him, Zhu Youzhen also knows that Zhou Yanru is a usable person, and for Wen Tiren, Zhu Youzhen does not intend to reuse, of course, this also has the influence of the previous life.

After Li Guopu finished saying this, Yuan Chonghuan also came out to reconsider: "Weichen thinks that the imperial court should be Zhang Gong Zhaoxue. ”

"Li Guopu, Yuan Chonghuan, the two of you are cabinet ministers, you don't know how to dissuade the emperor, you only know how to help the abuse, then let me ask the two of you, for Zhang Juzheng's rehabilitation, what is the situation of Emperor Shenzong, emperor, have you thought about it? Li Guopu, Yuan Chonghuan, have you two thought about it again? A royal historian of the Donglin Party said angrily.

Zhu Youzhen knew that this was the last trump card of the Donglin Party, and it was also a hurdle that he had to face.

Wen Tiren glanced at the imperial historian and said coldly: "People are not sages, who can do nothing, the first emperor of Shenzong must have been bewitched by the villain to deal with Zhang Juzheng." ”

The imperial historian pointed at Wen Tiren and was speechless for a long time.

Zhu Youzhen knows that villains are good at arguing, this Wen Tiren is also a person who can speak well in the last history, although Wen Tiren is now helping him speak, but Zhu Youzhen does not have a good impression of him in his heart.

"It is a national policy to rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng and implement a new policy, I can only be sorry for the first emperor, when I am not a descendant, I will go to the mausoleum of the first emperor of Shenzong three days later, burn incense and confess."

"My emperor is wise." After listening to Zhu Youzhen's words, the ministers who agreed to rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng said in unison.

The overall situation has been decided, Zhou Yanru knelt down at this time, and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Majesty, since the imperial court has decided to rehabilitate Lord Zhang Juzheng, then Ji Feng, who confronted the emperor yesterday, because of this matter, can be allowed to be extrajudicial and leave a whole corpse." After finishing speaking, Zhou Yanru slammed his head on the ground, unwilling to raise it for a long time.

The other officials of the Donglin Party knew that the general trend was gone, and they were not struggling, they just wanted to be able to give Ji Feng a good time, and after Zhou Yanru knelt down, they all knelt down.

Asking for support,
