Chapter 146: Making the Stumbling Block

The Great Dynasty Meeting, the emperor's royal gate listens to the government, and the courtiers play the report.

Zhu Jianshen sat on the dragon chair made of pure gold with an unknown number of soft cushions and fell asleep, and in half a year, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty had aged a lot.

It is difficult to find black hair among the white hair on the temples, the face looks a little sallow, and the eyes look very cloudy.

If Zhang Ru hadn't come back, he wouldn't have appeared at this court meeting.

At the front below is a row of civil officials in scarlet robes, and next to the civil officials is a military general, but the position where the military general is standing is a little further back than the first assistant Liu Ji.

After Zhang Ru entered the main hall, he drilled directly into the ranks of military generals, logically speaking, he was late, the emperor was in his position, you just came, and the charge of contempt for the king could not be removed.

Zhu Jianshen squinted his eyes as if he hadn't seen it, and let the civil and military officials below mutter.

The people around him are not acquaintances, in fact, most of Zhang Ru's acquaintances in the capital are in the palace, but he doesn't know a few elders in the court.

Zhang Peng, the secretary of the military department, glanced at him cautiously, made a thumbs-up gesture with his fingers, and then quietly retracted his hand into his sleeve.

The officials on the side of the Imperial Historical Observatory paid attention to him, but this attention salute was somewhat ill-intentioned, and a few people even expressed naked hostility towards him.

Zhang Ru learned Zhu Jianshen's confused kung fu to the fullest, and he didn't see anything at all, and stood in the queue very calmly.

"If there is something to do, it will be played early, and there will be nothing to retreat." Liang Fang's sharp voice echoed in the hall, very harsh.

A group of ministers of civil and military affairs were obviously accustomed to Liang Fang's voice, but no one expressed dissatisfaction with his voice, only Zhang Ru was very disrespectful to the viscount and reached out with his little thumb in front of everyone and symbolically plucked his ears.

Yin Qian, the head of the household department, came out of the class and raised the wat board in his hand: "The minister has something to play." ”

Liang Fang said for Zhu Jianshen: "Something is coming." ”

Yin Qian didn't dare to raise his head: "It snowed heavily in Liaodong, 100,000 people were blocked from retreating, there was no food for the winter, a large number of refugees froze and starved to death, and the Liaodong Branch Patrol asked the imperial court to allocate grain for disaster relief." ”

Zhu Jianshen's slightly narrowed eyes opened slightly: "Does the household still have money and food?" ”

Yin Qian said: "Back to Your Majesty, there is." ”

Zhu Jianshen said angrily: "Since there is food, you can allocate it yourself, and you don't need to ask me what I mean for this kind of thing." Tang Weizheng said that water can also overturn a boat in hand, and this truth must be taught to you. ”

Yin Qian immediately knelt down in a hurry and pleaded guilty: "Weichen is guilty." ”

Zhu Jianshen waved his hand: "In the future, this kind of thing will be decided by the household department if it can be the master, and if it can't be the master, it will be submitted to the cabinet to make the decision." If I have to do everything, what do I want you ministers of civil and military affairs to do? ”

Yin Qian didn't speak again after standing up.

Zhu Jianshen's small eyes kept roaming the minister, there was no trace of expression on his shriveled face, and his voice was even more emotionless: "Who else has something to do?" ”

Surprisingly, no one in the court attacked Zhang Ru, and there was not even a single person who made eyes.

Just when Zhang Ru and the officials of the East Palace were wondering, Emperor Zhu Jianshen slowly spoke: "Since you Aiqing have nothing to do, I propose something, and everyone will discuss it."

The previous Datong border town reported urgently, saying that it was 300,000 Tatar troops who had invaded our Ming border, and the 100,000 defenders of Datong were far from being able to stop the Tatar iron cavalry, and asked the imperial court to send troops to help.

Zhang Peng had already reported this matter to the cabinet for approval, but the cabinet did not allow it, saying that the transfer of a large army would cost the people and money, and I was afraid that it would hurt the country. During that time, I was physically disobedient and did not intervene, and let the cabinet approve it.

A few days ago, Datong reported to Beijing, saying that the 300,000 Tatar army had collapsed, thanks to the nine-sided governor Zhang Ru who sent Xuanfu and Jizhen soldiers and horses to gallop to help, and wanted to ask for credit for the nine-sided governor Zhang Ru. ”

Courtiers, you look at me, I look at you, and none of them have expressed their opinions.

Just kidding, in order not to offend Zhang Ru, the demon king of the world, we have already sent the fold to the cabinet, and I believe that the elders of the cabinet have already sent the fold to Your Majesty's desk. Now it's good that if you ask us what we think about this, what else can we think?

After a long time, no one dared to stand up and accuse Zhang Ru in front of him.

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Zhu Jianshen waved his hand at Liang Fang, who disappeared from the side of the dragon chair, and then walked out with a bunch of folds, put them on the ground, he opened them and said loudly: "The traitor Zhang Ru, privately dispatched hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Xuanfu and Jizhen, spent countless grains and grass, and the ambition of the wolf is known to passers-by. This is the recital of Lord Guo Mian Guo of the Imperial Historical Tower. ”

"The ministers weep and the blood is played, and the ministers who hear that they are the ministers should worry about the king's worries, and they should be ordered by the king's orders. Today, the governor of the nine sides, Zhang Rujiao, ordered the nine sides to gather the men and horses of the three towns and hundreds of thousands of soldiers to carry the Tatars.

Victory or defeat is a great sin.

If His Majesty continues to indulge, the emperor will be admonished by blood, and his liver and brain will be smeared.

This is the twist and turn of Xiao Yangxiao in the matter of engineering. ”

"Minister."

"That's enough." The third book had just been picked up, and before Liang Fang could read it, he held back the content he was going to read with a small low shout.

It was Zhu Jianshen who spoke, his face was already dark about this matter, and he looked like that, he was holding back his anger and did not let it out.

After taking a deep breath, he spoke again, and his tone became very calm: "These twists and turns were all sent to the palace overnight by the cabinet Liu Ji and Liu University scholars yesterday. If there is nothing to play, let Liang Fang send them to the imperial dining room, and if there is something to play, you still play it well. ”

The owners of the two letters that happened to be read out by Liang Fang glanced at each other, looked at Liu Ji, the first assistant who was pretending to sleep with his eyes closed, and walked out of the courtier's array with a gritted back molar: "What the ministers said is true, please Your Majesty to find out." ”

Liu Ji seemed to have the mentality that more things are better than less, and he never stood up to speak, but Zhu Jianshen didn't plan to let him go like this, and took the initiative to ask him: "Scholar Liu, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Liu Ji opened his eyes and looked left and right: "Well, this matter is the dictatorship of the Holy Heart, and the ministers dare not say anything." ”

Zhu Jianshen pressed step by step: "Don't you dare to speak, or can't speak, or don't want to speak?" ”

Liu Ji said cheekily: "There are all three. ”

"What if I want you to talk nonsense?" Zhu Jianshen leaned forward slightly, and said in an accentuated tone.

Liu Ji bowed down with a wry smile on his face: "Your Majesty wants the ministers to speak, the ministers dare not say nothing, Your Majesty wants the ministers to die, and the ministers dare not die." ”

"Okay, you can tell me what you think about this." Zhu Jianshen sat up straight again and leaned sideways, as if he really wanted to listen to Liu Ji's talk.

Liu Ji cleared his throat, looked back at the two officials kneeling on the ground, and swept his eyes on Zhang Ru's face intentionally or unintentionally, and then said unhurriedly: "The old minister thinks that Zhang Ru, the governor of the nine sides, has the right to transfer troops, and when the enemy is currently in the present, and there is no time to report to the military department, he, the governor of the nine sides, is naturally duty-bound.

However, this time the Tatars came to commit the crime by transferring troops without the knowledge of the military department, and this crime could not be escaped no matter what.

Zhang Ru was pampered and arrogant, and he had already made a conclusion in the court, and the ministers in the court were afraid of him like a tiger. His Majesty entrusted him with a heavy task, and the courtiers were all afraid. He was the commander of the Jinyi Guard, commanding the Jinyi Guard to monitor hundreds of officials, which was understandable, but the Jinyi Guard deceived people too much, and arrested no less than 20 officials overnight.

Inspecting the nine sides is the business of the governor of the nine sides, he only needs to do his own thing, and he needs to do his own thing.

There are tens of thousands of people in Datong Town, and Zhang Ru still transferred nearly 200,000 troops from Xuanfu and Jizhen to help, and let the people from Taiyuan Town, a nearby place, not use, but from Jizhen.

Without the consent of the military headquarters, he transferred his troops without reporting anything to the military headquarters, and in the end, although he won a disastrous victory, he let 45,000 Tatars leave after the battle.

I don't know this, what is Governor Zhang's explanation?

Under the First World War, countless Ming soldiers died in battle, how many families were separated because of this war, and how many loyal souls wandered on the border of Daming.

If you want to be guilty, this is all Zhang Ru's crime.

Zhang An, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, is an old man, but he was coerced by Zhang Ru to do this kind of lawless thing, which is really shocking. Just ask Your Majesty who lives in the capital and doesn't know the situation in the border towns, but there are people who can dispatch 300,000 troops without the need for the Tiger Talisman of the Military Department. If this person has a second heart, can he lead the troops to the capital?

The old minister is old, and he doesn't think about the problem comprehensively, Zhang Dushuai is still young, and he doesn't think about the problem comprehensively, and now the victory or defeat has been decided, and the merits naturally need to be commented.

If Your Majesty has time, he can go to the streets and alleys of the capital to see if they are saying that Governor Zhang is powerful, or they are scolding Governor Zhang for being cruel.

The old minister thought that Governor Zhang's trip was too willful and reckless, and although he did not die, he should be punished with a small punishment and a big warning.

Cutting jobs for the people, or even exile from the Nine Sides, is the best option. Leaving him Zhang Ru for a day will be a disaster for the Ming Dynasty, and His Majesty is still so lawless in him."

Speaking of this, Liu Ji deliberately left half of his words.

The remaining half naturally needs Zhu Jianshen to experience it himself.

No one thought that Liu Ji, who had always been the same as cotton, would deal with Zhang Ru with such fanfare, and even the emperor didn't expect Liu Mian to be like this.

Fortunately, Zhang Ru reacted quickly, and immediately said: "Scholar Liu said that Zhang Ru is the kind of villain who should be cut with a thousand knives, according to what you said, is it the result of the victory of hundreds of thousands of border troops after hard fighting, and you can't enjoy it?" ”

His biggest concern was not about himself, but about the military exploits of his brothers.

Liu Ji said mercilessly: "It's very good that the imperial court doesn't hold them accountable, soldiers have the ability to fight to the death, and if they die in battle, it means that they have no ability, so why don't you want the court to give them a monument to pass it on!" ”
