Chapter 139: His Crime Deserves Punishment
The next morning.
When the time came to June, the weather became warmer, everything recovered, and the court clothes of the officials in the previous dynasty were also changed to summer clothes one after another, only Yu Qian continued to wear cyan winter clothes.
Many people pointed fingers at this, but Yu Qian stood still.
The atmosphere of the morning dynasty today is really a little wrong, because according to the grapevine, Zhang Lun, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites who was taken into the prison by Dongchang yesterday, has died in the prison of Dongchang.
It is said that after Zhang Lun was arrested and put in prison by Wei Ying, the head of the East Factory, he was immediately tortured, but he would rather die than give in, even if he was about to be killed, he did not say half a word.
Such integrity is admirable.
Regardless of whether this news is true or not, it is almost certain that Zhang Lun will not be able to come out, and Dongchang will not let go easily if he arrests people with such fanfare.
But Yu Qian was not interested in Zhang Lun, the so-called Wei Zheng of the Tang Dynasty, and the famous minister who was praised by hundreds of officials.
Because Zhang Lun's so-called exhortation to the Fourteen Shu seems to be for the imperial court, but to put it bluntly, it is to insult the emperor and gain fame, but it is for himself.
Like Zhang Lun, who seems to be for the country and the people, but is actually a clear stream with a bad stomach, Yu Qian can't understand it anymore, so when many people express their indignation about this, Yu Qian still waits coldly.
Even to the colleagues who came to invite him to go to Zhang's mansion with him, he replied like this: "In the past, the headquarters had no intersection with Zhang Shilang, and there will be no one in the future." ”
Simple, straightforward.
Although Yu Qian is a civil official, his position has always been strange.
Sometimes it seems to be following the civil officials to confront the emperor, and sometimes it seems to suddenly stand on the emperor's side and oppose the civil official group.
Zhu Di was not surprised at all by Qian's reaction, if Yu Qian was a simple civil official and a simple "famous minister", Zhu Di would not be so optimistic about this person back then.
A Lang Zhong from the Ministry of Rites stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the left attendant Lang Zhanglun was arrested and beaten to death in the Dongchang prison for no reason, please let me wait to visit the mansion!" ”
As far as Zhang Lun's handling of this matter is concerned, Zhu Di seems to be angry and has made a decision.
This kind of request similar to beating the water dog is exactly what the civil officials thought was a trick and pursued Zhu Di, the emperor.
Zhangfu has been sealed by order, at this time to pay respects, what is his heart?
Zhang Lun was taken by Dongchang because of what, just because he asked to restore Zhu Qizhen's title as the emperor, just because he said that Empress Wang was immoral, and let Zhu Qizhen's Empress Qian preside over the harem.
Lang Zhong of the Ministry of Rites, what he said in and out of his words was to complain about Zhang Lun, but it was clear that this was the platform of Emperor Jingtai, who ordered the arrest of people.
This kind of thing can't be done by ordinary court officials, that is, this kind of small Langzhong, if he wants to fight for a promotion opportunity, he will take risks.
The important ministers who have already established themselves in the imperial court, even if they want to do it, they will definitely find a righteous person like Zhang Lun to ask for his life for the people, so that he can be invincible.
Zhu Di sneered, this is a civil official, when they are alive, they can play a piece of paper, and even the current emperor can be scolded with blood.
Even if he dies now and is arrested in prison, he can still call for wind and rain, and he will not suffer a loss in reputation.
But is that really the case?
Since he has tied Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to his thief ship, it is impossible for Zhu Di to let him continue to stay out of the matter, Zhu Di knows how smart this old slippery head is.
So, he asked to the side: "Hu Aiqing, don't you have anything to say?" ”
Hu Hu has always been cunning and cunning, and he is not the same as Wang Zhi, the first assistant of the cabinet.
Wang Zhi is completely out of the matter, neither side is provoked, and since he became the head of the cabinet, he has not done a single practical thing.
Occasionally helping civil officials shout twice, this is a major event that Wang Zhi has done during his current tenure.
In fact, his mind is also very clear, that is, he wants to mix up the tenure of the first assistant of the cabinet, and add a good reputation of the abdication of the cabinet assistant behind him, so that he can go home to retire.
Anything that happens now may have an impact on his clean reputation, which is why Wang Zhi pushed Yu Qian out to preside over the defense of Beijing.
Do you really think this guy is a good guy?
It's just that Wang Zhi didn't expect that Yu Qian could handle the defense of Beijing so satisfactorily, and his power even faintly surpassed himself after the war.
Isn't it fragrant that people are about to complete their merits when they see it, go home to enjoy the blessings, go back to teach the students, and continue to benefit Shilin?
In Wang Zhi's view, whether it is the current Min Fan Eucalyptus or the recent defense of Beijing, it is easy for him to make a bad mess.
If you can push it, you can push it out, and if you can, you don't care about it, and finally retire from the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, and you are just a kick in the door.
Hu Hu is different, this old boy is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, what does the Ministry of Rites do?
This department has always been used by civil officials to restrain the emperor, etiquette and etiquette, these two words sound gentle and elegant on weekdays, but they will eat people at critical moments.
Hu Hu is now tied to the boat by Zhu Di, and everything has begun to tilt towards the new emperor, even the Zen Rang Dadian has not expressed the slightest objection.
Now that the Zongren Mansion has gradually taken back the authority of the Ministry of Rites to control the clansmen with the acquiescence of the emperor, even if Hu Hu can still stay, other officials of the Ministry of Rites and other civil officials of the court can't stand it.
What is this for?
Now return the right to dispose of the clan relatives to the emperor, will the emperor be able to do whatever he has to do in the future?
The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the court's etiquette law, and the word etiquette has a wide concept, such as ancestral system, law, outline, ethics, etc., all of which are words that can grasp the righteousness when they are spoken.
But now, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and the emperor are wearing a pair of pants, not to mention the old ministers of the Sun family, and other ministers can't stand it.
Don't say that among the little Lang today, even the eldest elder in their eyes, Zhang Lun, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, is nothing more than a younger brother in Hu Hui's eyes.
Hu Hu came out and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks it's impossible." ”
"The Zen Ceremony is to give way from the handwritten letter sent back by Wara, Your Majesty promised the mandate of heaven, not your Majesty's request, Zhang Lun's performance, it is really a theory of condemnation, and it is a fallacy to confuse the public."
"If the title of the emperor is restored, what will happen to the queen mother who allows this matter? What about the former emperor who sent back the handwritten letter? ”
Zhu Di smiled.
The old slippery head deserves to be the old slippery head, and in a few words, he pulled the righteousness to his side.
Whether Zhu Qizhen's handwriting is true or false is still inconclusive, but the Zen Rang ceremony has been completed, and Zhu Di still nominally enlisted the support of the Empress Dowager Sun Ruowei.
Of course, if you go to ask for opinions under house arrest, that will count.
If the title of Emperor Taishang is restored, this is not a slap in the face of Zhu Di, but a slap in the face of the Queen Mother and the Emperor Zhu Qizhen, after all, this is the throne of the Ming Dynasty.
Na Langzhong said: "Your Majesty!"
Zhu Di said with a smile: "I think the words of the Ministry of Rites are good, the handwritten book is written by my royal brother, and the court ministers have also seen the queen mother, so don't make any more trouble." ”
"Zhang Lun's crime should be punished, it has become a foregone conclusion, and there is no need to discuss it anymore."
