Zhu Houxi was dressed in civilian clothes and looked a little displeased. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Peng Yue listened to the will and observed carefully, it has been many days, Zhu Houxi ignored Peng Yue after saying the will, and Peng Yue had to leave every time. Peng Yue knew in his heart that because of Yang Yiqing, Zhu Houxi had to be suspicious of himself. But Peng Yue had a hunch that Zhu Houxi would say something to himself today.

"Filial piety comes first, I want to let my parents take the title further, but the ministers don't allow it, even Zhang Xuan and Gui Cao..."

Peng Yue knew that Zhu Houxi was filial, but now he was not satisfied with the result of the ritual discussion, and wanted to overturn the case, and Zhang Xuan and others did not agree, Peng Yue was also surprised: "I didn't move his parents to Taimiao, they are quite serious." Peng Yue said in his heart.

"Peng Yue, what do you think I should do?" Zhu Houxi didn't seem to want to ask Peng Yue, but he asked inadvertently.

Peng Yue hurriedly seized this opportunity: "Your Majesty's will is not working, but because of the minister's constraints. The ministers worked together, and His Majesty had to admonish. ”

When Zhu Houxi heard this, he also sighed helplessly.

"Emperor Xuanzong of our dynasty was able to confront the ministers in order to contain the ministers and cultivate the power of the internal servants." Peng Yue looked up at Huang Jin's absence, and then said, "But it doesn't seem wise to cause eunuchs to interfere in politics. Peng Yue looked up at Zhu Houxi, he seemed to think of something, but soon his eyes dimmed.

"Your Majesty might as well mobilize the people's power, lead public opinion, and contain the ministers. Moreover, there are brocade guards, which can prevent public opinion riots. Peng Yue saw that Zhu Houxi was a little hesitant, and hurriedly added the last sentence.

Zhu Houxi seemed to think of something, and stood up: "You can talk about the detailed strategy." ”

"Your Majesty may print his ideas, policies, and opinions on paper and publish them among the people. The private sector can also organize itself and publish opinions, as long as it is managed by the government. It can not only publicize policies, form public opinion pressure, suppress the ministers, but also open up the wisdom of the people. Peng Yue carefully observed Zhu Houxi's expression.

"But... It sounds like a good idea, but when it comes to implementation... I'm afraid it's difficult..."Zhu Houxi still hesitated a little in his tone, obviously, he was not very sure about this kind of thing that had not been done in the previous dynasty.

"Your Majesty, this matter is a pioneering move, and you must not give up because you are not sure..."Peng Yue also saw Zhu Houxi's hesitation, "Thinking about the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, the heroes and talents, what they do, which is not a pioneering move?" Your Majesty should not be afraid of the unknown and dare to do pioneering things, so that you can rule through the ages! ”

"What you say is reasonable..."Zhu Houxi seemed to be trying to cheer himself up, "It's because I'm a little indecisive and too hesitant..."

"Your Majesty is not hesitating, but thoughtful. After all, Your Majesty has to think about the country's plans at all times, but what we think is one-sided..."Peng Yue hurriedly started a round for Zhu Houxi.

"But Your Majesty must not think too much about some details, throughout the ages, which major reform has a perfect strategy?" Peng Yue slowly guided Zhu Houxi, "Besides, now that the people live and work in peace and contentment, wouldn't it be better to give them a chance to carry out literacy education?" If something goes wrong, we can quickly improve and remedy it, and Jinyiwei is very strict with the people, and there will definitely be no chaos that will make Your Majesty unpleasant! ”

"Well, that thing... Just give it a try..."Zhu Houxi let out a long sigh of relief and stared at Peng Yue faintly, as if he wanted to find some courage from him.

This publication may be called a "newspaper". Peng Yue gave Zhu Houxi an answer with confident eyes, "Your Majesty is determined to reform and create a new policy, not only to reform the old, but also to innovate, and the newspaper can become the forerunner of Your Majesty's reform, guide the direction of Your Majesty's reform, and play a triumphant song for Your Majesty's reform!" Peng Yue now understands more and more the importance of reading more ancient books and reading and writing more articles, it is really difficult to communicate with Zhu Houxi, who is full of wealth, and he is really poor in words!

And at this time, Peng Yue already had a huge idea in his heart: "He wants to use the wisdom of today's people to promote the social progress of the Ming Dynasty little by little, maybe the history of the future will change a little bit because of this!" Thinking of this, Peng Yue couldn't help but get excited.

"With your talent, you must no longer succumb to the pedestrian department, Aiqing must not shirk this time, I want to transfer you to the ministry, so I will first promote you to be the head of the ministry." Zhu Houxi heard Peng Yueyi say at this time, and it was indeed a little difficult to hide the excitement in his heart: "The matter of the newspaper, consider it carefully, this matter is in charge of you!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Peng Yue bowed.

"Peng Yue" Zhu Houxi's face changed: "Yang Yiqing... How's it going? ”

"Ah...," Peng Yue's face was shocked, "Yang... The adults are in a hurry, and the sores on the back have been yesterday... Passed away. ”

"Huh?" Zhu Houxi couldn't help but be a little surprised, "I remember Yang Aiqing's body... Isn't it great? When he was the chief of the trilateral system, he also galloped on the battlefield, why did he suddenly... Alas..."

Peng Yue saw that Zhu Houxi's face was full of sorrow, and it didn't seem to be pretentious, and he knew that Zhu Houxi was also very sorry and sad about this, so he stepped forward and said: "Although Lord Yang is in good health, he has a strong personality, and he knows that His Majesty doubts his loyalty, and he can't help but feel sad in his heart, so he is in a hurry and suffers this misfortune..."

"When did I doubt his loyalty?" After Zhu Houxi said this, he was a little lacking in confidence, because he was indeed suspicious of Yang Yiqing because Yang Yiqing accepted Zhang Rong's money, and then punished him.

"Lord Yang is not resentful of His Majesty, but he has a grudge against himself..."Peng Yue knew that the mistake must not be attributed to Zhu Houxi, even if Zhu Houxi was really wrong, "Lord Yang has always regretted doing things that made His Majesty unhappy before he died, he said that he should not accept Zhang Rong's 200 gold money, and he even regretted that he should not promote Zhang Yong's brother, and he should not have erected a monument to the dead Zhang Rong..."

"Actually, it's not a big deal..."Zhu Houxi said in a low voice.

In fact, when Zhu Houxi heard Peng Yue say that just now, he couldn't help but be a little moved in his heart, it turned out that Yang Yiqing had been thinking about his own mistakes until he died, and he didn't blame himself. Originally, Zhu Houxi was also a little skeptical about this, but seeing that Peng Yue said it with sincere feelings, he couldn't help but believe it, and he was also willing to believe that the minister he relied on had been thinking about his own good before he died, not his own fault.

Lord Yang also said that he was confused for a while, and he was just thinking about the old friendship before he erected a monument for Zhang Yong. He said that he should not have accepted the two hundred gold, which was not a large amount, but he gave him the truth, which made His Majesty embarrassed, and as a result, he lost the two hundred gold that His Majesty had rewarded. Lord Yang cried bitterly and lost more than he lost, he got Zhang Yong's 200 gold, but he lost the 200 gold rewarded by His Majesty, which was really a big loss. Your Majesty's two hundred gold is a heavy weight, how can Zhang Yong's two hundred gold be compared..."Peng Yue said with emotion, and he almost burst into tears.

"It's not that Yang Aiqing is confused, but... I'm confused..."Zhu Houxi frowned and sighed, and at this moment he gradually figured out this matter. In fact, it is common for officials to give each other gifts in private, and 200 gold is indeed not a large amount, even if it is used as Yang Yiqing's reward for his monument, it is reasonable. The reason why he was so on the line was only because Zhang Xuan and others put this small matter on the bright side, and this matter involved Zhang Yong, and turned over the old accounts, so he thought about things crookedly along this line.

"Your Majesty, don't blame yourself..."Peng Yue couldn't help but be happy when he saw that Zhu Houxi had a sense of remorse, "Lord Yang has always said that this is what he did wrong, and he also asked me to ask His Majesty to remove Zhang Yong's brother Zhang Fu and Zhang Yong's brother Zhang Rong's official position, so that Your Majesty will not be unhappy because of this..."

"It's not necessary..."Zhu Houxi smiled bitterly, "Actually, Zhang Yong is still doing a good job in office..."

Zhu Houxi thinks about it now, after he ascended the throne, Zhang Yong was indeed very honest and had not done anything wrong. It's just that he has always been resentful of the "Eight Tigers Rebellion" during the Wuzong period, so he has always had a great opinion of Zhang Yong. Thinking about it now, even if Yang Yiqing and Zhang Yong communicate privately, they shouldn't have any strange ideas, and they can't afford to make any waves, this matter is indeed too much to worry about.

"Lord Yang said that in fact, he really just thanked Zhang Yong for getting rid of Liu Jin..."Peng Yue stared at Zhu Houxi's expression and said slowly, "Lord Yang said that the original "Eight Tigers Chaos Politics" was actually mainly because Liu Jin did the most evil, and Gu Da used it second, but the others were just a foil. Later, he was able to get rid of Liu Jin, and Zhang Yong contributed the most, which was really indispensable. And after getting rid of Liu Jin, it was Qian Ning and Jiang Bin who were in chaos, and the eunuchs did not do much. Although Zhang Yong has done a lot of wrong things, this merit is enough to offset it, and Zhang Yong also contributed a lot to quelling the rebellion of King Ning..."

"But Zhang Yong has a lot of mistakes, I can't just look at his merits, but not his faults." Zhu Houxi said solemnly, obviously the shadow of the "Eight Tigers Chaotic Government" cannot be eliminated by Peng Yue in a few words.

"Your Majesty's rewards and punishments are clear, and he is really a Ming Jun!" Seeing that the words were not speculative, Peng Yue hurriedly bypassed the topic of Zhang Yong, so as not to anger Zhu Houxi, "So this is really where Lord Yang thinks he is confused, he only wants to get Zhang Yong's great merit, and forgets Zhang Yong's fault, so Lord Yang asked His Majesty to withdraw the reward for Zhang Yong's family before he died..."

"I don't have to... Zhang Rong, Zhang Fu did a good job in Jinyiwei..."Originally, Zhu Houxi was just dissatisfied with Peng Yue's exculpation of Zhang Yong just now, but now he heard that Yang Yiqing wanted to punish Zhang Yong's family, think about it carefully, people really didn't do anything wrong, if they punished them like this, wouldn't it seem that they were stingy?

"Lord Yang also said that Your Majesty should not blame him, he has already realized his mistake..."Peng Yue found that it was very useful to fool Zhu Houxi with his feelings, so he simply continued to make up lies, "If Your Majesty refuses to forgive Lord Yang, I'm afraid Lord Yang will not be able to turn a blind eye under the Nine Springs..."

"Alas... I didn't blame Yang Aiqing at all..."Zhu Houxi's expression was gloomy, thinking that he had wronged Yang Yiqing, Yang Yiqing could do this, and he couldn't help but regret it in his heart. It's just that he didn't know that these extremely impressive words were just lies made up by Peng Yue on the spot.

"In this way, I will thank Your Majesty for Lord Yang..."Peng Yue said and bowed his head, "Your Majesty Shengming, we are all admirers in our hearts.

Sure enough, everyone loves to listen to good words, and Zhu Houxi, who is the emperor, is even more so. Hearing Peng Yue's voice similar to flattering boasting, there was no discomfort in his heart, "Go back and send a few words in front of Yang Aiqing's mourning hall for me, tell him that he doesn't have to blame himself anymore, I don't blame him..."

"The minister must bring His Majesty's will to..."Peng Yue raised his head and said softly.

"Has Yang Aiqing ever explained anything else?" Zhu Houxi stared at Peng Yue and asked.

"Yes, Lord Yang said that His Majesty will continue to clean up Zhuangtian and remove the town guard lieutenant with the assistance of Lord Zhang Zhang..."

"Yang Yiqing is a loyal minister, I shouldn't doubt him." Zhu Houxi sighed deeply. He didn't expect that Yang Yiqing would be thinking about his own prosperity before he died, is it really a human being who is about to die, and his words are also good? It seems that he is really wrong to blame Yang Yiqing, Yang Yiqing is indeed a loyal minister through the ages.

And Zhu Houxi couldn't help but think of Zhang Xuan again. Zhu Houxi is a smart person, and he has now figured out that he was overly emotional, and he was confused by Zhang Xuan and others, so he blamed Yang Yiqing. But after all, it was his own order, and he could only suffer this dumb loss by himself. And Yang Yiqing still supported Zhang Zhang's reform before he died, hoping that he could continue to reuse Zhang Zhang. Compared with the two, Zhu Houxi couldn't help but admire Yang Yiqing's character, and felt a little disgusted with Zhang Zhang. But he didn't know that in fact, all this was his imagination, in fact, Yang Yiqing almost scolded Zhang Xuan to death before he died. And as soon as Zhu Houxi thought that he was being used by Zhang Xuan, Zhu Houxi, who claimed to be smart, felt uncomfortable.

Of course, Peng Yue also has his own plans, he knows that Yang Yiqing is dead, and he must make good use of Yang Yiqing's death, so that he can use his feelings to impress Zhu Houxi, of course, it can bring out Yang Yiqing's glorious and tall image. And said that Yang Yiqing's support for Zhang Zhang's reform will definitely help shape Yang Yiqing's image of being dedicated to the public, which will be a blow to Zhang Zhang. And if Zhang Xuan wants to take revenge on himself in the future, Zhu Houxi will definitely be even more disgusted with Zhang Xuan when he thinks of today's events, and he will be protected invisibly, after all, he is still supporting Zhang Zhang, and he has not said a word to slander Zhang Xuan in the end.

"Come on, pass the decree, withdraw the punishment of Yang Yiqing, reward 200 gold, and say "Wenxiang". Zhu Houxi can only withdraw the punishment of Yang Yiqing now, which is already a huge concession for himself.

Note: During the period of Emperor Wuzong, the government was relatively chaotic. First, the eunuchs were dictatorial, "Eight Tigers Chaotic Government", and later Liu Jin was killed by Yang Yiqing and others, and the eunuchs' power gradually weakened. Later, Jinyi Wei Qian Ning was favored by Wuzong, caused trouble to the court, and was later killed for the crime of rebellion. In the end, the military attache Jiang Bin gained power, and Wu Zong was also executed immediately after his death.
