Wu Weiye was beaten by Wen Tiren and had to leave gloomily, and Zhang Fengyi in the palace did not have a good time. When Zhang Fengyi, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" pavilion, saw Chongzhen after entering the palace, Emperor Chongzhen was reviewing the chapter, and did not pay attention to Zhang Fengyi who was standing aside, and Zhang Fengyi did not dare to disturb the emperor to deal with government affairs when he saw this, so he had to stand aside and wait patiently, but this station stood for a whole hour!

When Zhang Fengyi's legs were about to be unconscious, Chongzhen put down the red pen in his hand in a good time, stretched out his hand to Zhang Fengyi and said, "Zhang Aiqing, sit down and talk!" ”

When Zhang Fengyi heard this, he hurriedly took the chair in Wang Chengen's hand, sat down opposite Chongzhen with a small wing half next to the chair and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion!" ”

Chongzhen glanced at Zhang Fengyi quietly, and said softly, "Zhang Aiqing is also an old minister of the Three Dynasties, and I still believe in your ability." But what I don't understand is, why did you get involved with those students this time? They are young and reckless and don't understand the importance of it, don't Zhang Aiqing understand it either? ”

Zhang Fengyi felt bitter in his heart, and hurriedly bowed down to make amends, "Your Majesty, Shengming, the old minister knows that he is wrong!" ”

Chongzhen couldn't deny what he said: "Zhang Aiqing knows whether he is wrong or not, only you know it in your heart, and I don't know it anyway." But I want to ask Zhang Aiqing, don't I even have the right to send troops to quell the chaos now? ”

"Ministers are dead, please forgive your majesty!" Zhang Fengyi was so shocked that he didn't dare to sit on the chair. Hurriedly knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty.

Chongzhen suppressed the anger in his heart, pointed at Zhang Fengyi and said: "Everyone says that the capital is a sieve that leaks everywhere, I didn't believe it originally, but now Zhang Aiqing told me with the facts that this statement is not wrong at all!" I asked my companion to give you a message on the front foot, and the scholars on the back foot went to the noon gate to surround my palace. Soldiers, the weapon of the country. As the secretary of the military department, doesn't Aiqing know the importance of military affairs? If this is the case in the future, can I still trust the people of the military department? It's no wonder that the thieves are getting more and more, and the eastern captives are getting stronger and stronger, who can you beat with these wine bags and rice bags of your military department? ”

Zhang Fengyi was drenched in cold sweat, leaned over in fear, and kowtowed again and again, "Wechen is guilty of death, this matter is the fault of Wechen's ignorance, and I ask Your Majesty to give me the guilt!" ”

Chongzhen was furious and said, "Give sin, give sin!" Will Aiqing only be a kowtow worm? Then what is the use of me asking you to be the secretary of the military department? Stand up and talk back to me! ”

Zhang Fengyi didn't dare to slack off when Chongzhen was angry, and immediately stood up with his legs trembling slightly, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty, this time the scholar petitions, Weichen does have an unshirkable responsibility, but the reason why Weichen is like this is also for the sake of Your Majesty!" Your Majesty, you should know about Liu Fan's secret slaughter of the gentry in the name of the peasant association in Laizhou, and Weichen thinks that after His Majesty's order is issued, it will inevitably cause an uproar. So..."

"So you accompanied those scholars to petition?" Chongzhen interrupted Zhang Fengyi and said, "Zhang Aiqing, you are the secretary of the Ministry of War, one of the nine Qings, can you not mention any opinions to me face to face?" Do you have to make a storm all over the city to be satisfied? Am I such an unreasonable tyrant? ”

"It's not... Weichen..."Before Zhang Fengyi could argue, Chongzhen rudely interrupted Zhang Fengyi's words, and continued to say loudly, "Zhang Aiqing, you cherish your feathers, and you can understand the mood of wanting to take care of your reputation, but as the secretary of the Ministry of War, you should always understand which is more important between public and private, right?" I know everything about Liu Fan, and I understand your worries. In fact, I am more worried than you in my heart that Liu Fan will be in a big trouble, but has Aiqing thought about the consequences of once I severely punish Liu Fan? ”

After taking a few quick breaths, Chongzhen said hatefully, "Liu Fan only captured Gao Yingxiang a few months ago, and made a great contribution to the elimination of the thieves. If I punish him now, what if he resents him and rebels? Can you guarantee that he won't be the next Kong Youde? At that time, not only will the imperial court lose a good general who can fight well, but SD will also be eroded, and the imperial court will lose nearly half of its tax burden. Without money and food, how do you let me govern the country, quell the rebellion, and achieve Zhongxing? Liu Fan, no matter how much he can toss, is only limited to the land of Jiaolai District, which is more important than the world of the Ming Dynasty? As the secretary of the military department, Aiqing won't not understand the stakes, right? ”

Zhang Fengyi was speechless by Chongzhen's series of questions, and it took a long time before he said, "Your Majesty Shengming, Weichen knows that he is wrong!" ”

With a sigh of relief, Chongzhen patiently explained to Zhang Fengyi, "Zhang Aiqing, I am also clear about the peasant association you said. Liu Fan's original intention in setting up the peasant association was to open up wisdom and improve planting, and its fundamental purpose was to increase grain output and relieve the peasants' hunger and hardship. As for his use of the opportunity to purge dissent, I also know very well. But I don't think there is anything rebellious about what Liu Fan has done! There is a saying that flies don't bite seamless eggs, and in my opinion, those inferior gentry are not very clean, otherwise the people would not have sacrificed their lives to fight! Saying that, Chongzhen picked up a piece of the recital on the imperial case and threw it into Zhang Fengyi's arms, and said angrily: "This is the secret performance of the Jinyi Wei of Laizhou, take a look for yourself!" Look at the virtues of those murdered gentry, it's just a matter of oppressing the good, not the one who bears the bloody human life! It is only natural that murder pays for life. Those disadvantaged people relied on their power to wantonly kill the people, what was wrong with Liu Fan helping the people to take revenge? Yes, his methods were a little more intense, but it is undeniable that he did not take the opportunity to slaughter the gentry, as he said to the gentry. Put yourself in your shoes, what would you do if your father and mother were beaten to death by someone else? The revenge of killing my father is not shared, I can understand what the people do! ”

Zhang Fengyi watched the twists and turns carefully, and his heart couldn't help but be full of remorse, he understood that he was kidnapped by those Donglin people this time. After being silent for a long time, Zhang Fengyi said, "Your Majesty, although the affairs of those people are excusable, the national law is unforgivable. Even if they are wronged, it is not a reason for them to kill! If they all connived at the people to kill people and take revenge like Liu Fan, how could the hundred officials govern the world? ”

"Hehe..."Chongzhen sneered a few times and said, "I don't want to be serious with you about this question, I have already told you very clearly just now." I don't need to say much about how to deal with Liu Fan's matter! Zhang Aiqing, I will give you three days, after three days, I don't want to hear anything about the scholar's petition. Saying that, Chongzhen looked directly at Zhang Fengyi and said, "If Zhang Aiqing can't do it, then go home and hug her grandson!" I will re-select someone who can do it to be the secretary of the military department! ”

"Wechen obeys!" Zhang Fengyi broke out in a cold sweat on his head, and hurriedly bowed down and replied

"That's good! I'm just waiting to see what you do! Chongzhen waved his sleeves, glanced coldly at the depressed Zhang Fengyi, and took Wang Chengen out of the Qianqing Palace and walked towards the inner palace.
