The civil and military officials in the square in front of Fengtianmen were in a mess, and they all looked curiously in the direction of Zhang Zhen.

The officials in front could only see Zhang Zhen falling, and the officials in the back stood on their heels or jumped up directly, but they still couldn't see Zhang Zhen's specific situation at all.

Zhu Youzhang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, was already protected by a panicked wrestler, but Zhu Youzhu watched Zhang Zhen collide with the stone lion on the right at close range, and also saw Zhang Zhen's head breaking and bleeding.

At this moment, he actually realized that he might have pushed the citron too hard.

Since ascending the throne, many officials have been promoted, but only the power of the ministers has not increased but decreased, not only have they been slowly excluded from the decision-making circle, but even their decades of hard work may not be exchanged for glory and wealth.

Facing an emperor of his own style, these ministers must be desperate in their hearts.

Although he didn't know what Zhang Zhen's psychology was, this person must have returned to the dynasty with great expectations, but now it is difficult for even the Hanlin Bachelor to get ahead, and it is impossible for a small cultivator from the Sixth Rank Hanlin to be reused.

As for Zhang Zhen's staging of this death admonition, it is completely unexpected. No matter how loud his reputation is, he will not joke with his own life, and I have the impression that no official in this dynasty has done this.

Wang Xiang personally stepped forward to investigate Zhang Zhen's snort, but in the face of Zhu Youzhang's inquiring gaze, he shook his head gently.

He's dead?

Li Yu and other officials couldn't help but gasp when they saw that Zhang Zhen was really dead.

This is the first time since the Ming Dynasty.

Now the young emperor has let the most famous sage of the Ming Dynasty die headfirst in this court meeting, which will not only arouse the indignation of Shilin, but also have to leave an infamy in the history books.

As soon as they thought of this, everyone looked at Zhu Youzhu sympathetically, now the Ming Dynasty can be said to be thriving, but it is really unlucky to meet this kind of direct minister who dares to die.

The morning sun has risen, and the golden sun has fallen in front of this huge Fengtianmen Square.

Die? Die!

Zhu Youzhu had already guessed when he heard the sound of the impact, and now he saw that Zhang Zhen was really dead, but he didn't regret his position at all, and he didn't regret his position.

Perhaps, in the eyes of these virtuous ministers, they can continue to sacrifice the interests of the people in the southwest in exchange for peace, and even create a Hongzhi Zhongxing that can be touted. It's just that this move is actually to protect the interests of the gentry class, and the border people need to endure the constant humiliation of foreign races, and the ordinary people can only slowly become tenants in the gentry's family.

As for the killing of Wang Zhi, it is also an impossible thing, although Wang Zhi's means are not glorious, but the starting point is for the interests of the Ming Dynasty, which is to recover the Annan archives belonging to the Ming court from Liu Daxia's mouth.

Not to mention that Wang Zhi is not guilty at all, if the loyal ministers who are conscientious and conscientious in doing errands for themselves are killed, then who will be willing to die for him in the future?

Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhang Zhen on the ground coldly, and insisted on the path of economic and military development without wavering, so he gently waved his hand to let the body go down, and at the same time announced his retreat from the dynasty.

"Stop the war, cut Wang Zhi, rise and fall, use the virtuous widely, to Zhongxing, please advise Your Majesty!" Liu Jian, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, saw the opportunity and led a group of Hanlin officials to kneel.

This......

Li Yu and the others looked at each other, and found that these Hanlin officials seemed to have been plotting for a long time, and there were as many as ten Hanlin officials kneeling.

Imperial power is supreme in many cases, but in fact, it has always been subject to official power.

"From today onwards, whoever dares to stop the war will be expelled from the court immediately and live on the border with his family!" Zhu Youzhu suppressed the anger in his heart, and even gave his will.

Although there are many virtuous ministers in the Hanlin Academy, such as Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and Yang Pu, who have always been talked about by the civil and official group, they do not need virtuous ministers who strive to share the blessings of peace, but officials who can really do things in a down-to-earth manner.

Hanlin officials do have a lot of honest and honest streams, but they have been mixed here for more than ten years with an iron rice bowl, and their merits are far inferior to that of a county magistrate who handles affairs conscientiously, and as a result, he shamelessly wants to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister.

Even if Zhang Zhen dies in front of him, it is impossible for him to reuse these empty virtuous ministers, anyway, now he is destined to bear the name of a faint monarch, and he doesn't mind giving these Hanlin officials a tyrant lesson.

This......

Liu Jian, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, and other ministers didn't expect Zhu Youzhu to be so rigid, so they couldn't help but look at each other.

In fact, they don't like Zhu Youjiao, an emperor who doesn't reuse virtuous ministers, but compared with being expelled from the court, they find that it is better to continue to stay in the Hanlin Academy as an official.

It's just that this time after all, it has been plotting for a long time, and Lin Han jumped out and admonished sadly: "Your Majesty, the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, Zhang Xiu is admonishing each other with death, if you don't accept it now, how do the people of the world think of Your Majesty, and how do you write Your Majesty in the history books?" The minister implores His Majesty to retract his order and accept Zhang Xiu's advice! ”

"I don't live for the fame of the history books, and now I am in power for one day, it is bound to let the people of the Ming Dynasty not be oppressed, and the foreign vassals will not dare to invade an inch of my Ming territory!" Zhu Youzhu stood in front of the throne, facing more than 1,000 civil and military officials in the square to announce his theory, and turned to look at Lin Handao, who was full of sorrow: "Proposed purpose, Lin Xiu's family will live on the border of Qinzhou!" ”

"The old minister's order!" Wan An felt that Zhu Youzhu was unprecedentedly angry at the moment, and he understood the path Zhu Youzhu wanted to take, so he immediately accepted the order in an orderly manner.

"Dusk Jun, if you treat Zhongliang like this, the wise men will definitely deviate from you, and the Ming Dynasty is in danger!" Lin Han was dragged away, but he still accused him sadly and angrily.

Zhu Youzhu saw more panic in Lin Han's eyes, and he was afraid that he had already regretted it at the moment, so he looked at Liu Jian and other ministers in the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites: "Who else wants to live in the southwest border with Lin Han?" ”

Liu Jian and the other ministers of the Ministry of Rites immediately lowered their heads silently, and finally realized that they were actually hitting stones with eggs.

After Zhu Youzhu left, Wan An's waist straightened a little, and he said to the civil and military officials present: "The war of the Ming Dynasty against the Li Dynasty is a joint decision of the cabinet and the six ministries!" If anyone is still not convinced, you can discuss it with the old man or your main officer, and now there is such a commotion at this court meeting, do you want to seize the door? ”

"The court's inscription has been sent to the southwest, and whoever talks about stopping the sword soldiers is ignoring the imperial decree!" Li Yu, the secretary of the ministry, made a strong statement on behalf of the officials of the six ministries.

Hanlin said that Dong Yue originally wanted to speak, but when he found that Wan An and other officials had already stared at him, he couldn't help but swallow back the words that had been spit out to his mouth.

The status of Hanlin officials is transcendent because they are the prime minister, but the current emperor is becoming more and more pragmatic, and they are not qualified to argue with this popular court boss at all.

Although there was a big turmoil today, the core decision-making circle of the Ming Dynasty was still twisted into a rope, and it did not change the decision of the Ming Dynasty to crusade against the Li Dynasty.

West Garden, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Since the Ming army has been assembled to the southwest, it is now very important to find out the archives of Annan, and even the first priority of the court nowadays.

Yin Song Cheng of Shuntian Mansion, who was wearing a three-grade official uniform, was summoned to the palace, but Song Cheng still looked unsmiling, and even walked so meticulously.

"Song Qing, you put aside the affairs of the Shuntian Mansion for the time being, and Liu Daxia will be handed over to you for interrogation, and immediately go all out to track down Annan's files!" Zhu Youzhu faced Song Cheng who came to meet him, and immediately gave his will.

This incident caused a lot of trouble, and Song Cheng had already heard the ins and outs of the whole thing, and immediately said respectfully: "The minister's order!" ”

Zhu Youzhu watched Song Cheng turn around and leave, and suddenly stopped: "Wait! ”

"Your Majesty, I don't know what else to order?" Song Cheng was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously.

Zhu Youzhu looked at Song Cheng's eyes and asked seriously: "Song Cheng, are you the main battle or the main peace?" ”

"I don't understand what Your Majesty means by this?" Song Cheng's eyes flashed with a look of confusion, and he looked very honest.

Zhu Youzhu found that this black-faced young man was sometimes simply an elm head, so he immediately asked in a different way: "Da Ming used troops against the Li Dynasty, what do you think of this move?" ”

"The minister thought that the Ming Dynasty should not raise unrighteous soldiers, but the Li Dynasty slaughtered my southwest village, and pretended to be a pirate to kill people and burn ships. A few of them offended my Ming border land, slaughtered my border people, and could raise swords and soldiers to attack them! Song Cheng had his own principles and responded very seriously.

Zhu Youzhu looked at Song Cheng and didn't seem to be deceiving himself, but he still confirmed seriously: "You really think so?" ”

"What's wrong with the minister thinking so?" Song Cheng was suddenly confused, so he asked seriously.

Zhu Youzhu touched his nose and found that it was not appropriate to speculate on this person with such a conspiracy, so he coughed: "You quickly try Liu Daxia, and you must retrieve the Annan file as soon as possible, this matter is related to the war in the southwest!" ”

"Command!" Song Cheng knew that the matter was indeed not trivial, so he said seriously.

Zhu Youzhu watched Song Cheng leave, and now he could only hope that Song Cheng could bring back good news to him, so as to increase the chances of victory for the army that conquered Annan.

Song Cheng left from the Xiyuan Gate and immediately rushed to the military headquarters without stopping.

In the afternoon, Liu Daxia was escorted to the capital and directly imprisoned in the prison of the tightly guarded Criminal Department, and no one was allowed to visit.

Liu Daxia had obviously suffered a lot of hard work along the way, and his whole face had lost a lot of weight, and when he saw Song Cheng, he asked with some impression: "Are you that black-faced disciple of Xu Pu?" ”

"Exactly?" Song Cheng knew that his black face was easy to impress, so he nodded slightly.

Liu Daxia's haggard face had a smile on his face, after all, although Liu Pu hanged himself, he was actually inseparable from today's son, so he began to set almost: "Speaking of which, the old man has a good relationship with your teacher Xu Pu, but it's a pity that when he was able to display his lifelong ambition, he ended up hateful!" ”

If it weren't for Zhu Youzhang's sudden suppression of Liu Pu, with Liu Pu's qualifications and prestige, he would definitely be able to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and then under Xu Pu's rule, he might be able to usher in Hongzhi Zhongxing.

"This official is here to judge you!" Song Cheng didn't have any feelings for Xu Pu, and seemed to be very serious about his intentions.

Liu Daxia looked Song Cheng up and down, and immediately asked suspiciously: "Old man?" You are wearing a three-grade official uniform, what is your position? ”

It is very difficult to be promoted in the officialdom, and it is even more difficult to be promoted to a high-ranking official in a short period of time.

It's just that the young official in the capital in front of him actually got mixed with three grades, which is really incredible.

"Shuncheon Mansion Yin!" Song Cheng reported directly to his home.

Liu Daxia's brows furrowed slightly, and he said even more confusedly: "The old man is a prisoner of the imperial court, why is it that you, a Shuntian Mansion Yin, came to interrogate?" ”

"You don't need to know that! Back then, the first emperor wanted to conquer the Li Dynasty, but you hid the archives of Annam? Song Cheng felt that there was no need to explain too much, so he directly interrogated.

Liu Daxia naturally would not deny his own credit, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly and said proudly: "Exactly!" ”

"Did you remodel the Annan file and hide it in the database of the Ministry of War?" Song Cheng personally recorded it with a pen, and continued to ask seriously.

Liu Daxia hesitated for a moment, then directly confessed: "Not bad! The information of the Ministry of War is as vast as the sea, as long as the old man hides the Annan file in a facelift, only the old man can find out! ”

"Thank you for your cooperation! Although there is indeed a lot of information in the Ministry of War, this officer wants to give it a try and see if he can find out the Annan file! Song Cheng got the answer he thought of, and he got up and prepared to leave.

Even if it takes a lot of effort to search for the military department's database, it is better to waste it here, and this is an equally reliable and stupid method.

"Wait!"

"Something?"

Liu Daxia realized that this was a stunned young man, and he knew that this stupid method was actually very effective, and looked at Song Cheng mysteriously: "Aren't you afraid that the old man will deceive you again?" ”

"Deception? What do you mean by that? Song Cheng's face was full of puzzlement.

Liu Daxia stared at Song Cheng's eyes, but said with a slight smile: "You can't find the Annan file in the location of the Jianzhou archive, how can you trust the old man so easily?" ”

"You didn't completely deceive us, we did find the small book that fell in that location, but you later transferred it elsewhere, so it must still be in the database of the Ministry of War!" Song Cheng took out an old torn book.

Liu Daxia couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and then smiled: "Yes, the Annan file was indeed hidden in the Jianzhou archives, but the old man felt that the position was not safe enough, so he had already transferred the Annan file out of the military department!" ”

"No, you're lying!" Song Cheng seemed to judge with certainty.

Liu Daxia realized that this black-faced young man was not simple, but he still asked quietly: "The old man did this back then, believe it or not!" ”

"Back then, you stored the Annan file in the Jianzhou file, but now it has been transferred by others, and even you don't know where to go, but is this?" Song Cheng stared at Liu Daxia's eyes and speculated.

Liu Daxia couldn't help but panic in his heart, and even defended: "You don't want to guess!" ”

"I actually lied to you just now.,I didn't find a flaw in the Jianzhou archives.,This so-called book is fake.。 Although I still don't understand why the dust of the Jianzhou archives is so thick, I am very sure that the Annan archives were together with the Jianzhou archives earlier, so the Annan archives were newly moved, but how did you know that the things were no longer there? Song Cheng opened the fake book and reasoned like a cocoon.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Daxia was suddenly terrified, and finally knew why His Majesty would send this young Shuntian Mansion Yin to try the case.
