Chapter 147: Old crucian carp
As soon as these words came out, the court was shocked.
Especially those military generals, they glared angrily at the civilian officials around them, and even more almost directly attacked those civilian officials.
Feelings: Lao Tzu is bleeding and sweating on the battlefield, and after a long time, in your eyes, he is a damn Qiu Ba, and you can only care about your own life, and you don't care whether Lao Tzu is dead or alive.
Even Zhu Jianshen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, frowned at Liu Ji's words.
Zhang Ru forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said word by word: "Lord Shoufu's words are really refreshing to Zhang, I wonder if Lord Shoufu can give him some time and let Zhang tell a few stories?" ”
Liu Ji closed his eyes and ignored Zhang Ru's plan, the meaning couldn't be more obvious, what you say yours, the old man listens if he likes to listen, and if he doesn't want to listen, he will naturally go in and out of his left ear.
didn't get a reply, Zhang Ru was not annoyed, and said word by word: "Six hundred miles on the border of Datong Town, one of the sixteen fortresses is called Yajiao Mountain.
The garrison of Yajiao Mountain was called Tu Hu, and he was not called Tu Hu, but after a family of thirteen died under the iron hooves of the Tartars, he swore to kill all the Tartars in the world, and Sui changed his name to Tu Hu.
The defenders of Yajiao Mountain were only 3,000, and they fought hard for three days in the face of 10,000 Tatar vanguard iron cavalry, and finally died at the head of the city.
When he died, he was standing. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Ru deliberately paused and observed the expressions of the officials around him.
Many civil officials showed sad expressions, and a few people were still insensitive, but many people on the military general's side lowered their heads, as if they were silently mourning for the infamous Yajiao Mountain guard.
"There is another place called Tiger Mouth among the sixteen fortresses, plus the right guard of Datong, the defenders have a total of 13,000 people, facing 60,000 Tatar elites.
After half a month of hard fighting, the garrison Lin Invincible completely confessed to the tiger's mouth with one hand, and only fifteen of the seven hundred guards died, and at least ten of these fifteen people could not do heavy work in the second half of their lives.
The Sun and Moon Dragon Banner of the Ming Dynasty was still flying over the tiger's mouth when they died in battle, there were no reinforcements, there was not enough food, and they stubbornly blocked the attack of 60,000 iron horsemen for half a month. Zhang Ru said again.
Someone in the crowd muttered, "What are these bad things about?" ”
It was a petty official from the fifth grade, and Zhang Ru didn't know what department he was in, he only knew that after hearing this, he crossed twenty or thirty third- and fourth-grade officials and rushed to the petty official with an arrow and slapped his mouth full of teeth.
The official's wailing voice made Zhang Ru feel bored, and after slapping him unconscious, he turned back to his original position and arched his hand towards the emperor.
"The border army of the Ming Dynasty is a group of heroes who defend the Ming frontier with their heads, and they can't tolerate anyone's half-word blasphemy." Zhang Ru dropped such a sentence and knelt on one knee: "Minister Zhang Ru roared at the court, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”
Someone from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies immediately knelt down and said clearly for Zhang Ru: "Your Majesty, what Governor Zhang said in a hurry is not what he wants, please give Your Majesty a lighter punishment." ”
"Your Majesty, my martial arts have never been valued, the minister is a step slower, if Your Majesty wants to blame, please punish Your Majesty."
"The minister is willing to share the burden for Governor Zhang."
"I beg your majesty to be gracious."
A commotion made Zhu Jianshen's face a lot better, he covered it up a little, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about this matter for the time being, after this matter is over, I will pursue it." ”
Without waiting for the emperor to speak, everyone stood up.
The meaning of this is obvious enough, if they still kneel, they will only make themselves suffer.
Liu Ji's eyes were shining, and he said without yin or yang: "Governor Zhang is really majestic, I don't think I am the number one in the world, and I dare to beat the court officials." ”
Zhang Ru said coldly: "This kind of villain, I will fight if I am beaten, you old horseman, what can you do to me!" ”
"You. . . You." Liu Ji still maintained a calm breeze on the surface, but in his heart he was already so angry that he couldn't even say two words of you, and he couldn't say the next words.
There is a way to show that only when he meets a soldier, he can't explain the reason, not to mention that Liu Ji is not the one who occupies the reason.
Beating the court officials in court and insulting the head of the court, Emperor Chenghua did not say anything to stop him, but put on a posture of watching a good show.
Several ministries who comprehended the four words of observation and observation to the extreme were silent, but no one wanted to provoke Zhang Ru.
Zhang Ru became even more presumptuous, stretched out his finger and pointed at Liu Ji's nose and scolded: "You old crucian carp, Lao Tzu is killing enemies on the front-line battlefield, and there are holes everywhere on your body, and your fucking words are going to wipe out the military exploits of hundreds of thousands of border troops, don't say that Lao Tzu doesn't agree." Even if Lao Tzu agreed, the three thousand soldiers who died in the battle of Yajiao Mountain would not agree, and the tens of thousands of brothers who died in the battle of Laohukou would not agree. ”
Many generals were moved, but no one stood up to speak for him, this is a fight between the king of Hades, generally people who don't have that identity dare not mix, and those who can mix don't want to mix.
It was not easy to fight for a high position, and no one wanted to fall in the so-called political struggle like this, not to mention that this was a rare civil and military dispute since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
Liu Ji breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes were shining, and his hands that already had age spots were clenched into fists in his sleeves from time to time, but he was old and frail, and he couldn't beat a young man of the right age, otherwise he was afraid that he would have to go up and do it early.
After taking a few deep breaths, Liu Jipi said with a smile: "As a general, you should take the lead, but Governor Zhang didn't do it." If you don't obey the orders of the Ministry of War, do you Zhang Ru have four eyes or two noses, why should others obey the dispatch of the Ministry of War, you Zhang Ru is so happy that you want to use the lives of the soldiers of the border army to fill the black hole of the Tatar Iron Cavalry. ”
"Moreover, the transfer of hundreds of thousands of border troops, tens of thousands of border troops died in battle, but you Zhang Ru didn't do anything, they didn't obey the orders of the imperial court, why should the imperial court give them a pension. They fight for one person, not for the world, and you should give them a pension. Liu Ji didn't give Zhang Ru a chance to speak at all, and said a lot of saliva again.
When you are older, it is inevitable that you will not be thoughtful, and when you speak quickly, you will inevitably say things that you shouldn't say.
It just so happened that Zhang Ru was a person who was very good at grasping other people's handles, and he lazily put his hands on the back of his head: "So, Lord Shoufu thinks that hundreds of thousands of border troops have become Zhang's private army?" It is still the lack of taxes in the Ming court, and Zhang needs to raise hundreds of thousands of troops in the border towns by himself. ”
Hundreds of thousands of people were said to have become someone else's private army, and in addition to the parties concerned, the emperor could not bear it.
After realizing this problem, Liu Ji immediately turned the finger: "What the official said is not that those people are your private army, what the official said is that you have the intention of rebellion." ”
Zhang Ru snorted coldly: "If Lao Tzu has the heart of rebellion, he can put 300,000 Tatar troops into the Central Plains, and then there is no need for the border army to make a move, just 300,000 Tatar troops are enough to make this Beiping City full of devastation." If you want to say that you have a heart of disobedience, Lao Tzu thinks that you, the old crucian carp, have the most disobedience, relying on yourself to be the head of the court, and your family does not have much more fertile land in Boye.
How many good people have been forced to not even eat by you, Shousuke, and how many young people have been turned into tenant farmers by you, I would have believed that Shousuke-sama knows this better than anyone else.
Don't say too much, let's just say that Lord Shoufu has thirteen mansions in Beiping City, just the calligraphy and paintings in the mansion, I am afraid that they are better than the palace. ”
The handle was grabbed, and Liu Ji's cold sweat came down on the spot.
He is very thick-skinned, and he never pays attention to the attacks of the officials and the impeachment of the courtiers, because he is very good at figuring out the emperor's thoughts, it's okay if you are greedy, as long as you do things well, so that the emperor feels that he can't do without you, even if you are greedy for ink, the emperor will not do anything to you.
But Zhang Ru's words can be described as heart-wrenching, especially the sentence of calligraphy and painting that is better than that of the palace, which clearly wants Liu Ji's life.
Who is the Emperor? Ninety-Five! The first person in the world, all good things must be the first to be held by the emperor, and he will give them to the courtiers below if he doesn't want them.
Zhang Ru said that he had thirteen houses in Beiping City, and it was obviously impossible for him to buy so many houses with his money, and that if someone else gave him these houses, he would definitely bend the law for personal gain. What's more, some calligraphy and paintings that don't even have the palace, it's okay if you don't say it, the emperor can turn a blind eye, but once you say it, things will turn sour.
Sure enough, after Zhang Ru finished speaking, Zhu Jianshen's originally sluggish spirit was lifted, and his eyes were shining: "Liu Ji, what he said is true." ”
The emperor spoke, but Liu Ji didn't dare to hold the shelf, so he knelt on the ground in fright and shouted injustice: "Your Majesty is aware of this, these are all Zhang Rupan's false words." This erector privately mobilized troops, intending to rebel, but he accused the old minister, and the old minister was wronged. ”
Relying on the old and selling the old cowardice has always been unpleasant.
Zhu Jianshen was ambitious when he was young, but he was stupid to the extreme when he was middle-aged, and he finally got old, so he had a little bit of a king's appearance, and his partial temperament was more changeable, and he couldn't do anything to these old people.
Zhu Jianshen snorted: "There are some things, I know, don't go too far, you have worked hard all your life, and in the end you end up ruined, it's not good." ”
Although this sentence is said lightly, for Liu Ji, it is tantamount to a heavy hammer.
Then, Zhu Jianshen said to Zhang Ru: "Little Huzi, you have also grown up, there are some things, there is no need to be so serious." The merits of the border army, I remember it in my heart, and don't embarrass these old ministers. ”
Looking at it like that, the emperor has a plan to calm things down.
Zhang Ru knelt down on one knee: "Your Majesty is aware that in this battle, more than 30,000 people were killed in Datong Town, more than 17,000 people were killed in Xuanfu, and more than 2,000 people were killed in Jizhen. I beg Your Majesty to give you the name of the soldier who will die and engrave the monument forever. ”
