Chapter 101 Slandering the Father
With Wang Chengen's complaint, the originally very strange atmosphere in the field became extremely solemn, all the ministers bowed their heads and were silent for fear of getting burned, Wen Tiren held the golden cup and studied the patterns on the cup, Wang Yingxiong stared at the boots on his feet, and Qian Shisheng was even more distracted.
Only Zhang Fengyi was still empty in his mind and completely confused, thinking hard in his heart, but he couldn't remember when he had offended Wang Chengen.
He didn't understand that so many of the ministers present didn't speak, didn't get up and slapped the emperor with their conscience, and some even laughed secretly, he just couldn't help but pout, why did this eunuch want to make a move on himself.
Even if it is to be cracked, it should be the only remaining Donglin boss Qian Shisheng! Why did you choose yourself, a harmless soldier? Zhang Fengyi has always been here, and he feels bitter in his heart!
As a secretary of the military department, he used to live a hard life of precariousness, and one day the news of a failure came, and he could be questioned and imprisoned by the emperor at any time. This year, I finally survived the fall of Fengyang, the defeat of Shaanxi, and the ravaging of the south of the Yangtze River.
Could it be that Wang Chengen, a eunuch, values my position? But you want you to tell me directly, what's the matter with stabbing you in the face! Zhang Fengyi only felt that disaster fell from the sky.
Wang Chengen made up another knife: "Your Majesty, Zhang Fengyi, as my important minister of the Ming Dynasty, saw that the emperor's poem was inappropriate, and slandered without words, as an important minister of the court, he didn't understand the emperor's new poem, and he didn't support it, not only did he not support it, but he pouted to show his disdain, slandered his heart, and he was disrespectful, and he should be a capital crime!" ”
The ministers were in an uproar, and Wang Chengen actually wanted to put Zhang Fengyi to death with this.
Zhang Fengyi knelt down in a panic and retorted: "The emperor is a clear guide, and the ministers have no such thoughts!" ”
"Then why didn't you say anything just now, but pouted with disdain? Do you dare to play against me? Wang Chengen asked.
"Minister...... Minister ......" Zhang Fengyi didn't know how to defend for a while. He was really disdainful just now, what was the emperor's first trip to Mount Tai just wrote, don't you know?
The ministers were either gloating or sympathetic to Zhang Fengyi's experience. But at this time, no one dared to speak for Zhang Fengyi, and those who dared to speak were all in prison.
Yang Su frowned, there was no joy or anger on his face, and he asked lightly, "Zhang Fengyi, do you have any objections?" ”
"The minister is guilty, please forgive the emperor!" Zhang Fengyi couldn't explain clearly in the face of this slanderous accusation, so he had to admit his guilt and beg Yang Su for forgiveness.
Yang Su is not sad or happy in his heart, Wang Chengen took Zhang Fengyi to open the knife is just a coincidence, Yang Su deliberately wrote this poem today, and personally directed a farce of "You Taishan", just to clean up the court, the ministers can be killed is not a lie, Yang Su wants to do something This group of ministers are opposed for various reasons, Yang Su has been monitored and observed by Jinyi Wei for several months, and only a handful of people can be selected from the ministers, and most of the officials are not available.
Of course, there are several kinds of unavailable, and Yang Su used this poem to try out which ministers were smugglers and which ministers were people with different intentions.
Those who have a whisker and a horse can be kept first, and those who dare to say bluntly that they want to brush their prestige on Yang Su's head must be killed on the spot, and those who are silent must be recorded in a small book to watch the after-effects at any time, and Zhang Fengyi is the chicken that was picked out casually.
Who called Yang Su the most important to the position of secretary of the Ministry of War, and Zhang Fengyi was obviously incompetent and incompetent, and he was not as knowledgeable as Wen Tiren, and he didn't know how to take the initiative to resign, but because of the recent defeat of the Liukou to resist the Qing army, Yang Su could only take him down by the way, so that he could be replaced by his own people.
The Ming Dynasty's highest military capital was suppressed by the Ministry of War and became a vacant position, and the Ming Dynasty's strategy of emphasizing literature over military force did not change, and Yang Su's idea of reviving the army could not be completely implemented, so Zhang Fengyi had to be demoted.
"Xiao Mingru is the secretary of Dali Temple, and Zhang Fengyi slandered the monarch's father, what crime should he be punished for?" Yang Su asked coldly.
Xiao Ming got up and replied: "Your Majesty, Zhang Fengyi, as an important minister, is a bad courtesy, and he slanders the monarch's father and calls it a great disrespect, a ten evil rules, and a great disrespect and a great disrespect, and he should be beheaded to show the public!" ”
Zhang Fengyi collapsed to the ground when he heard this, and then lay on the ground and cried to Yang Su for mercy: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life!" Your Majesty, please look at the criminal ministers who are always diligent and loyal to the emperor, and take the lives of the criminal ministers! Emperor! ”
Zhang Fengyi, as an important minister, was crying profusely at the moment, and his wailing voice was sympathetic, without any literati backbone.
Although he is the secretary of the military department, he is a greedy person who is afraid of death, and now he is about to be in trouble, where will he care about face, before Yang Su looked at him for his pitiful sake, and took his life.
Yang Su sighed lightly: "Since Zhang Fengyi was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of War, his political achievements have been outstanding and he has made a little merit. However, the state has national law, merits and demerits cannot be offset, and knowing evil and not being able to go, it is the deep precept of the master, as the son of the great tomorrow, I should uphold the national law, and someone will dismiss Zhang Fengyi and put him in prison, and he will be convicted of crimes! ”
Zhang Fengyi lost his strength all over his body, and collapsed on the ground in vain, muttering in his mouth, "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life!" ”
The guards on the left and right stepped forward to take off Zhang Fengyi's official hat, and then immediately carried Zhang Fengyi and wanted to take him down.
Hearing Zhang Fengyi's begging for mercy, all the ministers were in danger, and no one dared to speak out for Zhang Fengyi to save him.
Yang Su waited until Zhang Fengyi was dragged down, and then asked Wen Tiren and other ministers: "Who do you think can serve as the secretary of the military department?" ”
Wen Tiren's heart trembled, and at this time, he learned wisely, and hurriedly got up and replied: "The minister thinks that it is better to summon Sun Chengzong and Sun Ge to return to the dynasty to serve as the secretary of the military department!" ”
Yang Su shook his head and refused: "Liaodong is powerful, Sun Ge Lao leads the army with the title of Shangshu, and guards Liaodong for me, let's talk about it!" Qian Shisheng: Who do you think can be? ”
"The minister recommended Hong Chengchou, the governor of the three provinces, and now there is Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of the five provinces, who commands the military affairs of several provinces, and the emperor can summon Hong Chengchou back to the dynasty to serve as the secretary of the military department!" Qian Shisheng didn't dare to face Jun Yan directly, so he could only use his spare eyes to skim Yang Su's face and say.
"It's not proper, Liukou is a big trouble for my Ming henchmen, and Lu Xiangsheng alone must be exhausted and will not stop suppressing it!" Yang Su vetoed again, and asked Wang Yingxiong again: "Wang Yingxiong, who do you think is suitable?" ”
A cold sweat appeared on Wang Yingxiong's forehead, and he said in a solemn voice: "The minister recommends the loyal uncle Qin Liangyu, the loyal uncle has outstanding military exploits, is loyal and martial, and is good at managing the army. ”
Yang Su nodded and looked at Xiao Ming again.
