In the early morning of the next day, Qianqing Palace.

The cold cicada is poignant, the long pavilion is late, and the showers are at the beginning of the break.

The capital tent has no clue, nostalgia, and Lan Zhou urges.

……

The woman who slept last night was a lotus beauty, so her waist was a little sore.

The path of the little goblin is always worth looking forward to, and he was already restless when he was a palace maid, and now he wants to get a higher title before finalizing the "one queen, two concubines and nine concubines".

Zhu Youzhu didn't believe in the literati's set, and the disaster of the country was just a set of rhetoric about the incompetence of the civil ministers.

As for the time limit imposed by later dynasties, this kind of thing can only be said to excuse a certain three minutes, but now he prefers to do it casually and enjoy one of the greatest pleasures of being an emperor.

Since today is the last morning of August, I wake up earlier than usual.

"Your Majesty, do you have something on your mind?" Liu Jin was already evolving towards the roundworm in Zhu Youjiao's abdomen, and asked softly with caution.

Zhu Youzhu knew that his mind was being seen through, and he couldn't help but sigh softly.

Wang Zhi sent the information he got from Liu Daxia back to the capital, and he asked Wang Xiang and Du Ming to go to the Yamen of the Ministry of War to look for it, but they did not find the required Annan files.

Things turned out unexpectedly, and now they don't know if Liu Daxia lied or if the Annan archives stored there were stolen again.

Even if he is the high-ranking Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it is also very difficult to know the truth of some things, and now the matter of Annan's archives seems confusing.

is different from the Internet read by later generations, as long as the emperor's tiger body is shaken, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will prostrate on the ground, but the reality is that the civil and military officials are kneeling and kneeling, but now there are conspiracies and tricks underneath.

Judging from the coercion submitted by Wang Zhi and Liu Zhong, Liu Daxia should not have lied at that time, but now there is no Annan file in the location where Liu Daxia confessed.

Liu Daxia gave the wrong information about the Annan file, or someone stole the Annan file in advance, and now the Annan file is shrouded in a fog.

Zhu Youzhu faintly felt that there seemed to be a hidden force in this court, and after rinsing his mouth, he said lightly: "Is Liu Daxia about to arrive in the capital?" ”

"Your Majesty, Liu Daxia has now been expedited to transport Liu Daxia to Beijing, and it is expected to arrive in the capital today!" Liu Jin personally took the teacup and reported respectfully.

After the southwest archives could not be found at the location of the Jianzhou archives, His Majesty personally ordered the local officials to quickly transport the prisoner Liu Daxia to Beijing.

Zhu Youzhu knew that he could only start with Liu Daxia again, and this time he must find out where the southwest archives are, and the delay is really too long.

When I walked out of the Qianqing Palace, the sky had just become brighter.

Zhu Youzhu turned his head to look at the milky white clouds in the east and sighed with emotion: "Today's early dynasty is not peaceful!" ”

Outside the noon gate, as the bell and drum of the noon gate tower rang, the palace gate slowly opened.

"Today we will condemn this thief!"

"Such a cruelty to virtuous ministers is unheard of since Ming Dynasty!"

"Of course, we must support the emperor, but I hope someone can distinguish right from wrong!"

……

The officials of the Hanlin Yuan appeared murderous today, not only openly appealing to other officials, but also giving subtle warnings to officials such as Li Yu, the secretary of the ministry.

Although the matter of Wang Zhi's burning of Liu Daxia's family had already reached the capital, the time of the early dynasty had been changed now, so he was only ready to deal a fatal blow to Wang Zhi until today.

Not to mention that their civilian-official group has always been a whole that advances and retreats together, even if it is not reasonable, it is necessary to find a reason, and now that there is a great righteousness, it is natural to kill that eunuch.

The loudest voice here was not Liu Jian, the left attendant of the new Qingliu Leader Rite Department, but a little old man wearing a six-rank official uniform, and his official position was only that of Hanlin Xiu.

The ecology of Ming officialdom is actually very complex, usually according to the level of official position, but there will also be some special circumstances. Like the former Zhengbapin Hanlin review Yang Ting and Zhengwupin car driver Liu Daxia, these are all officials who can get in touch with the big names of the dynasty.

Li Yu and other officials looked at each other, especially seeing Zhang Zhen's appearance of sharpening knives, and faintly felt that these people were going to make trouble.

The early dynasty proceeded according to the usual process, but when it arrived at the Hanlin Academy, it was not the Hanlin bachelor who came out, but the Hanlin scholar Zhang Yuanzhen jumped out: "Chen Hanlin Xiu Zhang Zhen played the Nanjing town guard eunuch Wang Zhiten lawlessness, please kill this thief!" ”

Here it comes!

Li Yu and the others couldn't help but feel a headache when they saw that it was Zhang Zhen, the Hanlin cultivator.

Zhang Zhen is nearly sixty years old this year, but although this person has only been cultivated from the Hanlin of the sixth grade, he is a jinshi in the first year of Tianshun, and his qualifications have crushed the vast majority of the officials present.

After the accession of Ming Xianzong, he had presented Chen "diligent lectures, public hearings, and extensive use of virtuous people", and then was disgusted by Zongxian because of excessive words, and resigned angrily.

It's just that Zhang Zhen failed in his career, but he gained a great reputation in Shilin.

In the 22 years since he resigned, he has been committed to teaching, co-founded Ziyun Academy with Li Min, the former head of the household department, and even brought his disciples to promote his own ideas, so he has great prestige in Shilin.

When Zhu Youzhu had just succeeded to the throne, Xu Pu and others pushed Zhang Zhen to return to the dynasty, and Zhang Zhen repeatedly resigned before agreeing to participate in the revision as a Hanlin revisionist.

Zhang Zhen not only became the well-deserved leader of the Henan Township Party, but also was praised by many officials as the first sage of the dynasty, and his prestige in the court has overshadowed Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Now he suddenly stood up and pointed the finger at Wang Zhi, the attack behind this was stronger than Liu Fenjian, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and his words were destined to trigger Shilin's solidarity.

Killing Wang Zhi is not only Zhang Ji's willingness, but now I am afraid that it has already represented a voice of Da Ming Shilin.

"Wang Zhi forced Liu Daxia to confess where the Annan archives were hidden with the lives of Liu Daxia's family, I know the truth about it, and this matter is not suitable for crime!" Zhu Youzhu flipped through the notes that were not handed over according to the regular process, and found that it was really the incident of Wang Zhi burning Liu's family as the starting point, so he said lightly.

Although Wang Zhi's approach was cruel, it was not much wrong.

Liu Daxia still wants to hide the Annan archives, but he doesn't know that the current Annan archives are related to the foreign war, and even more to the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty.

If a person like Wang Zhi who is dedicated to the Ming Dynasty is to be convicted for this, then he wants to share the blessings of peace with these ministers, and he will turn a blind eye to the life and death of the people in the southwest.

When the civil and military officials present heard Zhu Youjiao's statement, they were actually expected of this result.

After all, this is not a virtuous monarch at the mercy of others, but an emperor with power and drive, so it is unlikely to deal with the eunuch like Wang Zhi who does errands for him.

The east gradually brightened, but there was only a glow.

Zhang Zhen has twenty years of teaching experience, and then she raised her eyes passionately as if she was in a classroom: "Your Majesty, how can you shelter such a thief, that's dozens of lives!" ”

These words were full of unwillingness and shock, as if Zhu Youzhu had really made a mistake.

The officials present were really frightened by this highly respected Zhang Zhen, and many officials began to think about whether they should let Wang Zhi go, and whether they should break Wang Zhi's body into thousands of pieces.

"Zhang Zhen, do you think that the Ming Dynasty is heavy? Or is the life of Liu Daxia's family of dozens expensive? Zhu Youzhu was immune to this kind of emotional card, so he asked lightly.

Zhang Zhen has gone through countless debates in the course of so many years of argumentation, and immediately gave full play to her strengths: "Your Majesty, these two things should not be confused! Don't take the evil as small, don't take the good as the small, this is what the previous sages said! ”

"I don't care about self-cultivation today, but governing the country! You are staring at the life and death of Liu Daxia's family, staring at Wang Zhi's little evil, don't you care about the war between Daming and the Li Dynasty? Zhu Youzhu found that this old man was confusing the concept, and couldn't help but question loudly.

Hey?

Hearing Zhu Youjiao's rebuttal in such a clear manner, officials such a clear rebuttal couldn't help but nod slightly, and at the same time looked at this emperor who was becoming more and more imposing.

Judging from a gentleman's point of view, Wang Zhi's use of Liu Daxia's whole family to coerce can be said to be an out-and-out villain's behavior. It is only from the interests of the state that Wang Zhi's approach has no fault but merit.

Zhang Zhen found that the young emperor in front of him was really not easy to fool, so he threw out another attack point and said: "Your Majesty, with all due respect, this war should not have happened!" The world moves the whole body, and now the new dynasty should be sinking and prospering. However, the war is together, the southwest is erosive, the people have no peace, and the court has no prosperity at all! ”

"Zhang Xiu, the Li Dynasty is just a small vassal state, I'm afraid you're arrogant, right?" Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't help but stand up.

"The Li Dynasty uses troops, and our dynasty will win, so why do you say that the southwest is erosive?"

In fact, Li Si, the head of the household, was the most reluctant to start a war, after all, when the war was together, the finances had to be tilted to the southwest, but this time there was no objection.

It is true that it costs money to fight, but now the Li Dynasty has to make inches. If the Ming Dynasty continues to swallow his anger, the people will definitely intensify their efforts against the people of the southwest, and it is better to fight a war to establish the prestige of the Celestial Empire.

The most important thing is that the granary left by Xianzong was consolidated, and the new dynasty was able to fully support the use of troops in the southwest by sorting out the salt administration and clearing the acres of fields.

Zhang Zhen relied on her own knowledge, so she talked eloquently: "The world is prosperous, and the people are suffering; The world is dead, and the people are suffering. Taizong decided to set Annan back then, but the country spent millions of dollars, why not learn from it today? What about a momentary victory? However, after a long time, the foreign feudal domain fought again, and the Ming army was exhausted, and the bitter people were finally our people. Now that the new dynasty is sinking, everything is waiting to be prospered, how can it be a war for a pearl? ”

"The matter of going to war is the result of my discussions with the cabinet and the six important ministers, and today I am not here to argue whether or not to go to war!" Zhu Youzhu realized that the other party was a firm lord and faction, but he was unwilling to continue to argue with this kind of person.

Da Ming's ministers really feel good about themselves, and they have been directly excluded from the decision-making circle, but they still insist on coming over to participate in the decision-making.

It's just that they, the "kneeling ministers" of the world, are not sick now, how can they discuss with them whether they should declare war on the Li Dynasty.

After all, what they are pursuing is to share the blessings of the world, and what they are seeking is development, which is to build Daming into the world's textile center.

I thought that Zhang Zhen had nothing to say, but Zhang Zhen was unrelenting: "Your Majesty, you have asked the cabinet and the six ministries, but you have not asked the Hanlin Academy, there are many people in our Hanlin Academy who do not think that it is a good policy to start a war!" Such an important matter of national politics should be widely spoken! ”

"The Hanlin Academy can do a good job, and the major national affairs are decided by the ministers!" Zhu Youzhu knew that there were indeed some officials in the Hanlin Academy, so he said with a straight face.

Zhang Zhen was not afraid of offending a group of important ministers at all, and glanced at Li Yu and other officials in front of him with disdain: "Your Majesty, the important ministers you rely on today are not virtuous ministers, and the virtuous ministers of this dynasty have always come from the Hanlin Academy, but there are many flattering ministers in the current court, so please listen to the opinions of the Hanlin Academy!" As far as Wei Chen knows, Liu Shilang of the Ministry of Rites is against the war, but you are bent on going your own way to make him want to resign and return to the field! ”

"Zhang Zhen, I have made it very clear just now! Today is not a discussion of whether to go to war, nor is it a discussion of who should be discussed with important matters of the country. Liu Daxia dared to hide the southwest archives privately, it was I who sent Wang Zhi to ask for it, and Liu Daxia dared to refuse to return it, which is a big rebellion! Zhu Youzhu found that this old man was holding on to things, and he was also holding out the emperor's shelf.

Zhang Zhen didn't even pay attention to Zhu Youjiao, and continued to entangle: "Your Majesty, your words are contrary to your ears!" Liu Daxia hid the archives of Annam because he wanted a truce in the imperial court, and he refused His Majesty for the stability of millions of people in the southwest, and he was the first loyal minister! ”

"Loyalist? Is my will to be openly disobeyed? Come and expel Zhang Zhen from the court, and avoid the court in the future! Zhu Youzhang's face sank, and he gave his order.

Liu Jian, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and other ministers stood up one after another to plead: "Your Majesty is angry, Zhang Xiu is dedicated to the country, please don't punish him for his outspokenness!" ”

Zhu Youzhu looked at this group of pleading ministers, and finally knew why it was so difficult to govern the country.

"For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, don't make a big move, talk about swords, please punish Wang Zhi, this thief. Loyal ministers for the country, and now the ministers are willing to admonish each other with death! Zhang Zhen pointed to the stone lion over there, and rushed up with an arrow.

"Stop him!" Wan An saw that Zhang Zhen was really about to crash into Shishi, and hurriedly reminded the officials below.

Wang Xiang was about to lead the two brocade guards to arrest people, but when he saw this little old man rushing to the other side, his heart immediately raised his voice.

Bang!

Zhang Zhen's head hit the stone lion's sturdy chest muscles hard, and a piece of blood suddenly splattered.

It's just that this time is different from Shang Baosi Shaoqing Li Quan, there is not a white and pure young fat man who ran out, and now there are mostly a bunch of old guys in front of him.

Finished!

Wan An saw this person crashing into the stone lion, and even realized that something was wrong.

Zhang Zhen was hit on the head and bled out, her body seemed to be staggering and unstable, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face, as if she had done something amazing: "Stop the war, cut Wang Zhi, rise and fall, use the virtuous widely, and promote Zhongxing!" ”

It's just that as soon as the words fell, the whole person fell to the ground.
