Chapter 70 - Final Decision
Hearing Zhang Yun talk about the civil and military officials and nobles who were forcing the palace outside the palace gate, Chongzhen's face suddenly sank.
"Dao Chief, this is something you provoked, isn't this fire in the edict too weird?"
"Now that they are coming to force the palace, the next thing is up to you to do it!"
Leaving such a sentence, Chongzhen turned around and left angrily, Zhang Yun shook his head a little helplessly, and looked at the three great eunuchs and said, "Poor Dao plans to go and talk to Your Majesty, do you want to go with Poor Dao?" ”
Seeing that the three eunuchs collectively shook their heads, Zhang Yun did not continue to tease them, but followed the footsteps of Chongzhen's departure and quickly chased after them.
At this time, Chongzhen was also upset and didn't know what to do next?
The half-truths and half-truths in the palace just now are just the same meaning as the three sticks that Bodhi Ancestor struck Sun Wukong.
Zhang Yun naturally knew about these, so after catching up with Chongzhen, he said bluntly: "Please also ask Your Majesty to retreat." ”
After Zhang Yun finished speaking, he looked at the several eunuchs around Chongzhen.
Chongzhen was very kind, and soon there was no fifth ear around the two, and then he sneered: "Is Zhang Daochang still afraid that others will listen?" I thought that Zhang Daochang was not afraid of heaven and earth! Every time I enter the palace, I come and go......"
Chongzhen's words were a little reprimanding, Zhang Yun had a headache, but he still had to bite the bullet and said: "Your Majesty knows the poor way, the poor road has always not liked to follow the rules, this entry and exit of the palace gate, there are too many cumbersome procedures, and the poor road is really a little unbearable!" ”
"Humph!"
After Zhang Yun finished saying a few quibbles, Chongzhen didn't want to tear his face, so he just snorted coldly and stopped making a sound.
In this regard, Zhang Yun was a little helpless, he went in and out of the palace by himself, and never went through the palace gate, why? Isn't it that you don't trust Chongzhen enough and think about your own life!
It's just that this kind of talk can't be put on the table, and some people's faces always have to be taken into account.
However, Zhang Yun was only embarrassed for a while, and quickly re-spoke, "Those people have basically confessed, so as long as Your Majesty is tough, you can immediately issue an order to raid the family and exterminate the clan, and you don't need to worry about anything." ”
After Zhang Yun finished speaking, he took out a stack of interrogation materials from his arms, and the prisoners came out with bloody handprints, and handed them to Chongzhen, and then stopped talking.
Chongzhen had an inexplicable smile on his face, and inadvertently took over the ironclad evidence of the so-called rebellion in Zhang Yun's hands!
After casually glancing at it a few times, the smile on Chongzhen's face became even more inexplicable.
Seeing that Chongzhen didn't say anything for a long time, Zhang Yun couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, you see that this evidence is conclusive, some criminals' homes have been found in the forbidden items, even imitation dragon robes. ”
"Plus they themselves can be regarded as confessing their sins!"
"In this way, no matter from which point of view, it is reasonable to punish these people for the crime of treason and exterminate their families in any case, right?"
Chongzhen glanced at Zhang Yun with some amusement before he spoke: "The Taoist chief is quite anxious, but the current situation is, how to ensure that the people kneeling outside the noon gate do not make trouble?" ”
"Besides, some things are not guilty, they must be investigated, the Taoist may have been practicing in the mountains for a long time, and he is not very knowledgeable, so he is a little less careful in terms of his means......"
"Now those people are kneeling outside the noon gate, if I want to pursue it strongly, I don't know what kind of mess I am going to make! Have you ever thought of this, Daoist? ”
Zhang Yun thought that Chongzhen could come up with some good reason to prevaricate himself, but he turned around, but found that Chongzhen had never been able to jump out of the circle of the imperial court.
Chongzhen looked down on his own methods, but he didn't know that he looked down on his ways of doing things......
But at present, Chongzhen's indecisive attitude makes him very passive. If you overturn the case for those people!
After that, my ideals, and even my own life, I am afraid that there will be no guarantee.
Therefore, Zhang Yun thought for a while and then spoke: "Do you still remember what Poor Dao once said to Your Majesty where the power came from? ”
As soon as Zhang Yun's voice fell, he saw that Chongzhen had the urge to interject, so he hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt Chongzhen's words.
continued: "I think that in Your Majesty's heart, all the civil and military officials in the court are opposed, and that is a big event that the sky has fallen!" ”
"But Poor Dao wants to ask, even if His Majesty immediately orders today to behead all those who participated in the rebellion with conclusive evidence, and exterminate their families, then where will the situation develop in the future?"
"Poor Dao is here to analyze and analyze Your Majesty, first of all, when this incident happens, those people will definitely force the palace, in fact, they are already forcing the palace outside the noon gate now, but what about this?"
"There is an old saying: Show talent rebellion, ten years will not be successful!"
"I think Your Majesty has heard that the only thing that these civil and military officials who have evil intentions and whose interests have been touched is to protest, and other than that, they can't do anything else at all."
"To put it mildly, even if they raise the flag to rebel now, they will be suppressed by General Huang in minutes, so Poor Dao has never been able to understand, Your Majesty, what are you afraid of them?"
"What's more, there are a lot of people in the world who want to be officials, even if they all return to their hometowns, won't Your Majesty be able to find someone to be officials? Poor Dao thought that this was simply impossible! ”
"Besides, the collective resignation of the old man is just a joke, and now they collectively want to threaten His Majesty with the threat of resignation, but the poor Dao dares to say that if His Majesty grants their request to return to their hometown now, most of them will definitely be dumbfounded on the spot, do you believe it or not?"
"As for how capable they are, the new officials are incompetent, and if they don't have them, their court will not be able to function......
"Your Majesty, just think about what these people have done to govern the Ming Dynasty? You can make this decision, right? ”
"You must know that Your Majesty was once forced to hang himself by them in Beijing......
"Enough!"
Zhang Yun's saliva was dry, and Chongzhen always had a bitter expression on his face, but he didn't have the slightest intention of letting go. But when Zhang Yun said that the scene that happened on the coal mountain, Chongzhen finally burst out of anger.
Then Zhang Yun didn't speak again, leaving time to Chongzhen, whose face was uncertain, and some things always had to be decided by himself.
Mud, if you want to support the wall, you always need to mix some sand in the mud, so that it can become a usable talent!
I don't know how long it took for Chongzhen to finally raise his head and say, "Okay!" This time, I will do it with Zhang Daochang's intentions, but is it a bit too much to raid the family and destroy the clan? ”
"Also, those people who are forcing the palace at the noon gate, does Zhang Daochang have any good ideas?"
Zhang Yun sneered, and then said: "It seems that Poor Dao once told Your Majesty that ~ the sentence that power comes out of the barrel of a gun, right?" I also once told Your Majesty Emperor Taizu, why did you massacre the heroes on a large scale, but there was no major turmoil in the Ming Dynasty, right? ”
"I always don't understand in the poor road, with the two most capable armies of the Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty, what are you afraid of?"
"Poor Dao wants to ask, Your Majesty, have you thought about the sentence that power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and why Emperor Taizu slaughtered heroes on a large scale at that time, why no one dared to stand up and rebel, have you thought about these, Your Majesty?"
"Maybe there are people in this world who can help your majesty, but Poor Dao dares to pat his chest and assure, these people definitely do not include the Donglin party members, and this group of so-called nobles who have been directly supported by the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years......"
The louder Zhang Yun spoke, the more Chongzhen's face became redder and redder, as an emperor, he had never been reprimanded like this, and then when he was a prince before, he didn't seem to have been reprimanded like this.
It's just that Zhang Yun is different, Chongzhen has already calculated, and there is no way to hurt Zhang Yun's life at all!
However, Zhang Yun is a lawless character, who seems to be different from everyone in the world, and has no respect for the imperial power and himself at all.
At this moment, when Zhang Yun became more and more excited the more he spoke, Chongzhen also reflected in his heart, what Zhang Yun said about the power coming out of the barrel of a gun, this sentence is really true, it seems that he has indeed embarked on a crooked path.
There is a good example in front of him, Zhang Yun, whose life is not controlled by himself, no matter how arrogant he is, he can't do anything with him, on the contrary, the previous temporary masters of the Qianqing Palace were all killed by him under the siege of heavy troops, which Chongzhen can't be afraid of!
In addition, after the reorganization of Dongchang Jinyiwei, the news from all over the country gradually gathered up, Zhang Yun in Sichuan, Hubei, and Yangzhou, those amazing performances......
Especially on the battlefield of Yangzhou, hundreds of thousands of people all witnessed Zhang Yun's performance against the sky, charging with tens of thousands of bows and arrows alone, and killing seven in and seven out!
If Duoduo hadn't run fast, he would definitely have died under the city of Yangzhou.
In addition, Zhang Yun looked at his gaze, which was not the gaze of a courtier looking at the emperor, and all of this made him a little lacking in momentum when facing Zhang Yun.
Therefore, when Zhang Yun's tone was getting higher and higher, Chongzhen finally decided to completely succumb!
"Daochang Zhang, don't talk about me anymore, I have already understood what you said, everything will be done according to your wishes, as for those rebellious ministers and thieves who are forcing the palace outside the noon gate, I don't plan to deal with them."
"Just do what the Taoist said, if they are begging bones, then I will definitely make a decision immediately!"
"Isn't the Daoist still satisfied?"
Zhang Yun was a little stunned, why did Chongzhen, who has always been indecisive, become so decisive today?
looked at Chongzhen's face seriously, and saw that Chongzhen was serious, Zhang Yun said embarrassedly: "Which one...... Poor Dao is really a little excited today, and I hope that Your Majesty Haihan. ”
Chongzhen was not in the mood to continue to entangle with Zhang Yun, although he agreed to Zhang Yun's request, but there were still some things that needed to be arranged.
After all, some people will jump over the wall in a hurry, and it is not necessary that they will really commit treason!
So Chongzhen waved his hand at Zhang Yun, leaving only Zhang Yun's back......
