Cabinet scholars Lu Tiaoyang and Zhang Siwei, Zhang Han, secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Ma Ziqiang, secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Wang Guoguang, secretary of the Ministry of Households, Wang Chonggu, secretary of the Ministry of Crime, Guo Chaobin, secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and Chen Zan of the Imperial History of Zuodu, all of them had indeed heard the news of an official Fu Que at this time, and they all rushed here.

These people, plus Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun, are the most powerful and powerful civil officials in the Ming Empire today, and naturally they all know what happened the last time Zuo Shunmen cried and admonished, and because of this, they didn't dare to ignore tonight's incident.

"What the hell is going on?"

Lu Tiaoyang also specially stopped Yushi, who was running out, and asked.

This imperial historian gasped and told Lu Tiaoyang and the other ministers who had gathered around him.

Lu Tiaoyang and the other ministers were shocked when they heard this.

And at this moment, Zhang Siwei suddenly said with a shocked face: "There is no court staff!" Those who are condemned are not killed with a rod! ”

"After all, this is not the time for a big gift."

Lu Tiaoyang said first, and then said: "But Fu Que killed so many ministers, and it is still unbelievable. The Son of Heaven's reliance on his uncle is truly beyond the reach of people. ”

"Didn't you say that Yuanfu was already in front of the emperor, and Tan Lun?"

Chen Zan asked with a calm face at this time.

Lu Tiaoyang nodded: "Maybe it's because of the fact that in front of the emperor, there was no such thing as a court cane." ”

"That can't be careless of human life!"

Chen Zan suddenly replied sharply, and then asked: "As Yuanfu and this soldier, can't you stop Your Majesty from punishing your ministers?!" ”

Lu Tiaoyang is not good at saying anything.

On the contrary, Wang Guoguang sneered and said at this time: "Yuan Fu can stop Your Majesty, can you stop the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces?" ”

"What do you mean, do you still want to say that this is what the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces means?"

Chen Zan asked Wang Guoguang.

Wang Guoguang hurriedly denied it: "I didn't say that, I just talked about who Yuan Fu could discourage." ”

"Don't fight yet! I'll know when Uncle Da and Zili come out. ”

Zhang Siwei also said with a calm face at this time, and looked in the direction of Huiji Gate.

It didn't take long for the ministers to see the two shoulders being carried out, and You Qi and the house slaves of the Tan family led the two shoulders to this side.

"Shoulder-to-shoulder!"

Zhang Siwei said with a surprised face.

"I don't know if it was given by His Majesty, or if the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces asked Her Majesty to give it."

Wang Guoguang said at this time.

"Just ask!"

Chen Zan glanced at Wang Guoguang, then walked over, stopped Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun's shoulders first, and asked, "Why did Xianggong suddenly take his shoulders out of the palace ban?" ”

In the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period, the six Shangshu basically referred to the cabinet auxiliary ministers.

Of course, the Xianggong here does not mean the "Xianggong" that the students call it.

After Zhang Juzheng lowered his shoulder, he asked You Qi to wait outside the Donghua Gate, while he walked towards Chen Zan and other ministers, and said: "It is the kindness that Your Majesty bestows on the servants and the soldiers. ”

"Your Majesty still has the grace to give shelter from the wind and snow to the prime minister and the soldiers, why don't you have the slightest mercy to the fierce ministers of Fuque?"

Chen Zan asked at this time.

Zhang Juzheng was stunned for a moment, and then asked coldly: "Why is there no kindness?" If you don't kill the rebel minister with a rod, you are good! ”

"This soldier was also present at the time, so he must have been clear about the situation, is this mercy from Yuanfu or from Your Majesty?"

Chen Zan asked.

Zhang Juzheng had already sat back on the left chair of the cabinet duty room at this time, and his face sank.

Tan Lun saw Chen Zan asking, so he glanced at Zhang Juzheng, and then said: "It was me and Yuan Fu who made a statement to let Your Majesty do this, these people who are subdued are not punished, because they are already suspected of bullying the king and forcing the palace!" ”

After Tan Lun said this, the ministers looked at Zhang Juzheng in surprise.

Chen Zan even asked Zhang Juzheng directly: "In this case, why didn't the prime minister ask His Majesty to show mercy and spare his life?" Why do you use such a grim decree to make our doctor shed blood again in the forbidden court! ”

"Or is it that the prime minister also invited so, but His Majesty did not refuse to do so?"

Chen Zan asked.

Zhang Juzheng said: "Naturally not. ”

Chen Zan was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "In this way, Xianggong is really the so-called reality in the mouth of the protégé!" can take this soldier together to force His Majesty to make such a strict order. ”

"Why do you have to say that, Yuanfu is Yuanfu, and I don't have Xiangguo!"

Zhang Siwei said excitedly at this time.

"Where is there no phase?!"

"There is no phase, can let Your Majesty make a strict decree, and can you also let Your Majesty change the rod to kill? can even drive the door as a lackey, and use the ministers and ministers as staff, can this be the same? ”

Chen Zan said aggressively.

Zhang Juzheng said: "What does the prince say, the servant returned to the cabinet to announce the mercy of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces. ”

After hearing this, Lu Tiaoyang, Zhang Siwei and others hurriedly prostrate on the ground respectfully and solemnly.

"The Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces sent a kind edict to say: If you want to go out of the palace to Changchun Nunnery to worship the Buddha temporarily, the emperor ordered the cabinet to announce the decree on behalf of the two palaces to the world."

After Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, except for Tan Lun, Lu Tiaoyang and others were all shocked.

"Zhang Taiyue!"

And Chen Zan even got up at this time and pointed at Zhang Juzheng and shouted, and no longer called Zhang Juzheng a public servant, but directly called his surname and number, and said:

"The prince also said that he was not the prime minister, if the prince was not the prime minister, how could he do what Han Zhong Xiangong (Han Qi) and other prime ministers could do, and forced the queen mother of the two palaces to move to the temple?!"

"If the public has the power of the prime minister, why can't he have the amount of the prime minister?!"

"The Wenchen of Fu Que, young and vigorous, does not know awe, you allow his words, and leave a virtuous man for the country, why not? It's just a harsh policy! ”

"The public knows that it is because you are harsh and often punish small mistakes with heavy setbacks that the protégé impeached you! Now the prince teaches the Son of Heaven harshly, and only teaches the Son of Heaven to be lenient and virtuous, so can you make the Son of Heaven Yao Shunhu?! ”

"I'm not a photo, I'm a photo!"

Zhang Juzheng suddenly slapped several cases hard, stood up, and roared at Chen Zan like a tiger.

Chen Zan and the ministers present were stunned on the spot.

Ahem!

It wasn't Tan Lun who was coughing.

It's Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Ju's face was flushed, his eyebrows were angry, and he stared at Chen Zhan.

Chen Zhan stood still and did not move.

"Yuan Fu is angry!"

Zhang Siwei reacted the fastest at this time, got up immediately, and bowed to Zhang Juzheng, then turned around sharply, walked to the desk and said, "The subordinates will follow the Empress Dowager's decree!" ”

Lu Tiaoyang, Wang Guoguang and others looked at Zhang Siwei in surprise.

Chen Zan also looked at Zhang Siwei in surprise.

So in the end, except for Tan Lun, the ministers and ministers all left Wenyuan Pavilion silently.

They didn't dare to say anything anymore, after all, Zhang Juzheng said so, what else could they say.

can't, like Zhao Pu, he planned to give Zhang Juzheng a yellow robe; It can't be, for the sake of Xiao Wanli, bet on his own nine clans to have a "Qingjun side".

Zhang Siwei soon handed the holy decree to Zhang Juzheng with both hands: "Yuanfu, please take a look." ”

"Ziwei's rhetoric has always been good. The servant didn't look at it, and just let people take it to the house. ”

Zhang Juzheng said with a smile and then got up and left the cabinet.

Tan Lun followed and said, "Why do you say that, uncle, the Son of Heaven may not have a mustard, but what about the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces?" ”
