Wei Yunzhen knelt on the ground as she spoke, looked up to the sky and shouted: "Heavens, open your eyes and see, it stands to reason that the country has a minister, and it will not perish; Now he wants to kill the minister! Whining! ”

When Wei Yunzhen cried bitterly, she was dragged away by Jinyiwei like a dead dog.

At this time, Gu Xiancheng and Li Zhi were silent when they saw this scene.

It wasn't until Jin Yiwei walked away that Li Zhi couldn't help but murmur first: "Gong Wei is right, why is Jiangling gone, but it's even worse?!" ”

Gu Xiancheng sank his face and said: "It must be that something went wrong with the imperial secretary, and a minister has become a slanderous minister, and we have become outcasts!" ”

After hearing this, Li Zhi nodded: "It makes sense, what should we do now?" ”

Gu Xiancheng said: "Naturally, I went to inquire first, who advocated this, and why did this happen?" In this way, we can prescribe the right medicine and rescue the princes. ”

At this time, Zhang Dingsi of Like came running: "Let me tell you a bad news, Jiangling's nickname has been set, chasing Wenzheng, not only that, but also changing Jiangling County to Taiyue County, exempting local taxes for one year, doubling the number of students in the local county within three years, and posthumously sealing him as the Marquis of Jingzhou." ”

"Those who have this honor after the death of Wenchen will see you in this Korea!"

"What?!"

"How can such a ministerial council be passed?"

"Doesn't Reike have the right to dismiss the Ministry of Rites?!"

Li Zhi was disappointed and asked Zhang Dingsi.

Zhang Dingsi said: "There is no way, the holy will is so, don't dare to disobey it!" ”

"Why don't you dare to disobey?"

"If it is unreasonable, it must be refuted!"

Li Zhi said excitedly.

Zhang Dingsi sneered: "It's easy for the public to say!" Did the public forget? The Son of Heaven now has soldiers in his hands! There are pro-military guards who just went to Wa Island to kill tens of thousands of Japanese invaders! ”

】

"That's right."

"Your Majesty has soldiers in his hands."

Gu Xiancheng smiled bitterly, and expressed his understanding to Zhang Dingsi, and said: "As the saying goes, the small cane is accepted, and the big cane goes, when the monarch has a stick in his hand, there is no need to force the monarch to fall into the land of injustice." ”

Although Li Zhi had nothing to say after hearing this, he still couldn't hide his disappointment: "Because of the restructuring, it has to be honest, and it will also benefit the township, so that the township will receive its favor, and the neighbors of other clans and villagers in the world will also be willing to support the ministers who have gone out of their hometowns to reform the system in the court, is it a good thing to go on like this?" ”

"Everyone knows that this is not a good thing, but how dare you go against the will of God?"

Zhang Dingsi continued to speak at this time, and said: "There is another thing, Mr. Xu has been confiscated by the whole family for smuggling and instructing people to dig up the tomb of the imperial gift, and he has also been escorted to Beijing. ”

"What?!"

Gu Xiancheng and Li Zhi both looked at it in shock.

For a while, together with Yu Shenxing who was here, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This is the Yuanfu of the two dynasties!" I believe that Mr. Xu may be dissatisfied with Jiangling's behavior of doing political things, but I never dare to believe that Mr. Xu would do such a thing, at most there is really a smuggling for profit, but as the rulers of the two dynasties, how can the ruling people of the current dynasty not advise His Majesty to be lenient and not have to be so harsh? ”

"Out of holy anger, it is irreversible, presumably the ministers of the DPRK and China will not dare to dissuade it."

Gu Xiancheng said with a wry smile.

Zhang Dingsi nodded.

Li Zhi clenched his fists: "Do you want to sit back and watch this unethical thing happen one after another, at least, how can Jiangling not chase Wenzheng!" ”

Yu Shenxing sighed at this time: "That's it! At least when Jiangling was in power, although he had killed the official who forced the Son of Heaven to dismiss him, but he didn't even want to discourage the things that had become his will at this time, for the sake of his contribution to the country, it was not too much to get this honor, and it could also show the virtue of the Son of Heaven's teacher, there is no need to embarrass Your Majesty in this matter, the Son of Heaven respects the teacher and teaches is actually a good thing! ”

Everyone nodded their heads.

Only Li Zhi asked at this time: "Then what about the current harsh government, won't it be wasted?!" ”

"Of course it must be scrapped!"

"Although the Son of Heaven has soldiers, his ambition may not be strong, and his strategy may not be high, the important thing is to see whether the ruler of the DPRK and China can have the determination to abolish the harsh government of Jiangling."

Gu Xiancheng spoke again at this time, and said: "Let's first find out why the person who is acting as the chief assistant didn't prevent this from happening." ”

And it didn't take long for Gu Xiancheng and others to inquire and learn that it was Zhang Siwei's will to ask for the hanging, and the reason was that Wang Guoguang said that Zhang Siwei deliberately connived at the speaker, so that Zhang Siwei simply catered to the Son of Heaven for fear of provoking the jealousy of the Son of Heaven, and even personally asked to kill these Shangshu speakers to prove his innocence.

"I didn't expect him Zhang Puzhou to be so cowardly!"

Yu Shenxing said in disappointment after knowing this.

Gu Xiancheng was also disappointed and said: "It's not just cowardice, it's also shameless!" Since he doesn't have the courage to make a direct admonition for the officials, then don't think about being the leader of the abolishing and harsh government! ”

Syllable!

After Gu Xiancheng said this, he slammed the table with a heavy fist.

"It's really a general who is incompetent and exhausts the three armies!"

"Unexpectedly, the first wave of the offensive of the inverted Zhang Party broke its front teeth!"

"Although a kingdom of light has been folded, but people are interceding for the sparse officials, for the sake of others' courage, it is not good to fall into the well again, so that people in the world feel that speaking for the officials will not be rewarded; It's just that Dongchang made a profit, and he did a big eucalyptus involving the first assistant of the two dynasties, which made my doctor lose face! ”

Li Zhi also said very angrily.

Gu Xiancheng laughed at this time, and said: "Don't say these depressing words, it is still unknown who killed the deer, or that sentence, the Son of Heaven may not be strong, and his plan may not be deep." ”

Li Zhi and the others nodded after hearing this.

Then, Gu Xiancheng looked at Li Zhi and the others, and continued to smile and said: "The road is long and the road is long, and the line is coming; The future is promising. ”

Then, Gu Xiancheng gave up his hand: "Encourage you together!" ”

Li Zhi and the others returned the salute: "Uncle Shi's words are very true! ”

……

At this point, because Zhu Yijun relied on the pro-military guard in his hands to maintain the dignity of his husband and showed a tough posture, and Zhang Siwei was not strong enough to dare to disobey the will of the superiors, and the reformers who accounted for the majority in the ruling ministers of the DPRK and China in the era of Zhang Juzheng had not been deposed, so in the end, the first wave of the opposition's counterattack against the New Deal and Zhang Juzheng's counteroffensive for the purpose of preventing Pan Cheng from entering the cabinet was declared a failure.

The price of the failure of the anti-New Deal faction was that several officials were escorted to the execution ground.

What's more, I can only watch Xu Jie being escorted into Beijing for interrogation.

Wang Jixian, Sun Wei, Wei Yunzhen and other officials were officially escorted to the execution ground on this day, pending execution.

These officials also wanted to cry without tears, and they dared to be the first to blow the clarion call for abolishing the New Deal and liquidating Zhang Juzheng and his party, which was naturally also opportunistic, hoping to reap a rich political legacy first.

However, the struggle between the court and the court has always been cruel, especially when the situation is turbulent, when the situation is unclear, although the political gains as a pioneer will be great, but once defeated, the price will also be great.

Therefore, these officials can be regarded as self-inflicted, because of their own choices, they bear such a price.

"Ahh

When the rope that hanged Wang Jixian was tightened at his neck, Wang Jixian's eyes were already full of remorse.

Sun Wei cried even more: "Your Majesty, the minister is wrong, the minister should not ignore you." ”

Wei Yunzhen just smiled bitterly, and then after a wry smile, she cried again, and shouted: "What's wrong with speaking for the country, what's the crime of speaking for the king!" I don't understand, he Pan Xinchang has had, why can't he speak? Why can't you expose it! Is it wrong to be a courtier?! The first emperor didn't kill Haigang Peak, why did this dynasty punish me Wei Yunzhen?! ”

Whether it was regret, begging for mercy, or disagreeing, in the end, these officials were hanged.

At the same time that these officials were hanged, Zhang Juzheng's posthumous and posthumous wills were also quickly delivered to Jiangling.

It's just that Hao Rusong, the prefect of Jingzhou, is also a person who is dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng's reforms, after all, Zhang Juzheng's reforms at the time of the country were too ruthless to encroach on the interests of big bureaucrats and big landlords.

You must know that it is more ruthless than in history.

The officials and gentry paid grain and errands and sent troops to copy the old nest of the smuggling magnates and gentry in the Japanese country, these are all cakes that Zhang Juzheng did not touch in history.

Therefore, just as Hao Rusong would detain Zhang Juzheng's family in advance before the arrival of the holy decree in the original history, more than 20 people starved to death, what he wants to hear now is the news that Zhang Juzheng's house was raided.

So, Hao Rusong also asked his henchmen who came back to report the news: "Is there another person from the capital to go to Zhang's mansion?" Good news or bad news? ”

"Good news!"
