Just when Zhang Zhou was giving Zhu Houzhao a lesson.

Zhu Youzhu attended the court meeting at noon gate and listened to the ministers tearing up.

Supervising Yushi Hu Xian, who is participating in the impeachment of Li Guang's bribery case: "...... Chen Qi, 'all the officials have the traffic eunuch Li Guangjin user, although Li Guang is dead, the books are especially preserved, such as the left capital of the imperial history Tu Tu has to be promoted to the ministry of Shangshu, the idle capital of the imperial history of the king can be restored to the left capital of the imperial history, the right deputy capital of the imperial history Li Hui has to be promoted to the right capital of the imperial history, these three people as ministers, leading the public for traitors, it is advisable to correct their crimes first, and then the second punishment'......"

Although Li Guang is ancient.

But there are not a few people who want to take advantage of Li Guang's death to make a big fuss.

In the middle of the Hongzhi period, the court had the most stable position of the six departments and nine secretaries, and the positions of the six departments of Shangshu often did not change for three or five years, forming a solidification of the position, and the lower-level officials could not see hope, so they finally seized the opportunity, of course, they had to open their firepower.

Zhu Youzhu said coldly: "Didn't I say that this matter will be investigated by Dongchang?" ”

In the middle of the incident, Ai Hong came out and said: "Your Majesty, if this case is not investigated, it will definitely be the beginning of the evil deeds, and it will be difficult to investigate the crime." This case should not be investigated privately, and it should be handed over to the Criminal Department for investigation and handling, so that the whole world can be brought back to the heart. ”

"Criminal Department!" Zhu Youzhu said coldly.

Bai Ang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, walked out and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is old and sick, please return to the field." ”

Bai Ang at this time is not stupid.

I could have listed it in that booklet, let me look it up myself?

While there are not many people who have participated in my impeachment, if I don't hurry up and find a way to get out of the sea of suffering, will I really fall into the hands of you scientific and Taoist officials, and from then on I will have a bad reputation?

Tu Tu came out and argued: "The minister begs the official to pursue Li Guang's book to investigate, and if there is a minister's name, the minister Ling Chi will be executed, and the minister will be executed to thank the official. ”

Tu Yun was also anxious.

He mean, "Didn't you impeach me?"

I will ask Your Majesty to investigate Li Guang's booklet, if there is really my name, I will ask Ling Chi to be executed, if not, please clear my grievances.

Tu Tu is not untargeted.

When Li Guanggang died, no one was more nervous than him, but as the emperor handed over the case to Dongchang, Dongchang didn't even ask him, which made Tu Yun feel that Li Guang should not be so stupid, and he should not name and record the details of the bribes, and besides, people are dead, and some things can be killed without admitting it.

Anyway, Shoufu Liu Jian encouraged him to do so.

Now he feels that Li Guang did not remember himself nine times out of ten, and set up a flag with "Ling Chi Execution", which is obviously more convincing, so that the people who eat melons will think that he dares to say this with a clear conscience.

This passage is also the original words of Tu Chu recorded in the "Records of Ming Xiaozong".

Zhu Youzhu became even more angry after hearing this.

Are you Tu Tu trying to find your own death? Did you give a gift to Li Guang, did you not force the count in your heart?

But Zhu Youzhu listened to Zhang Zhou's words and didn't have a seizure.

But what made him angry was not only this, if it was only the impeachment of Tu Yun, Wang Yue and Li Hui, it would be fine, and even Xu Jing, the head of the household department, was also impeached.

In the end, Zhu Youzhu was afraid that it would be difficult to clean up the situation if the situation further expanded, so he hastily ended the court meeting.

……

……

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Walking back from the noon gate, Zhu Youzhu kept coughing.

Xiao Jing walked over and said, "Your Majesty, you should take Luan to drive, your body is important." ”

"Ahem...... I'm fine, but tell me, what are they fighting for? Did I not pursue it too soon to make them kick their noses in the face? ”

Zhu Youji's tone was a little annoyed, probably because he felt that this group of people was bullying him for being ignorant and deceiving.

Dai Yi hurriedly came over and said, "Your Majesty, maybe those ministers are more loyal." ”

"Loyalty? Can you even say what you want to say? Xiao Jing, go and show the booklet to a few people in the cabinet, and then bring it back to me after reading it, and let them look at it themselves! ”

Dai Yi, Xiao Jing and others immediately saw it.

The emperor is not angry and kicks his nose in the face, perhaps the emperor feels that those speech officials are doing their duty.

And what the emperor was angry about was that Tu Tu thought that there was no himself in the booklet, so he dared to boast in the court that Qing Gao said that "if there is a name for the minister, the minister Ling Chi will be executed".

My tolerance for you does not mean that you can use my tolerance to show your courtesy.

So I'm going to show the three members of the Cabinet the "books" you've been thinking about right now to see if you're really on the list.

At the same time, I tell you that I just don't care about you like you!

"Yes." Xiao Jing took the order.

Dai Yi also looked at the past with a strange gaze.

Up to now, except for Zhu Youzhu and Xiao Jing who have read the book in its entirety, it is possible that Zhang Zhou has read the whole book, and Dai Yi, Chen Kuan and Wei Bin have only glanced at the title page a few times, and then Xiao Jing has relayed it.

They also want to know which ministers are involved, and whether it will be...... All over the country have a share?

"What about the prince?" Zhu Youzhu was in a bad mood, suddenly thought of something, and asked.

Xiao Jing was about to go to the Qianqing Palace to pick up the booklet, and when he heard the words, he replied: "Your Majesty, today is the day when Zhang Jieyuan enters the palace to give lessons to the prince, and it is estimated that the person has arrived now." ”

"Okay, you all do your duty, Dai Yi, you go to the Wenhua Hall with me, I want to see if Bingkuan is serious about teaching."

At this time, Zhu Youzhu probably felt that only by going to see how Zhang Zhou taught his son could he relax his mood and even have some expectations.

……

……

Cabinet duty.

When Xiao Jing arrived, the three members of the cabinet were still discussing court affairs together, and what they said was the Li Guang case mentioned in the court earlier.

Knowing that Xiao Jing was coming, the three of them went to the door to greet each other together.

"Three elders, this is for His Majesty to ask our family to transfer, just say let a few people take a look, after a stick of incense, our original will be brought back." Xiao Jing took out Li Guang's booklet recording the bribery.

Liu Jian didn't take it, and Li Dongyang took it on his behalf.

Xie Qian asked, "What is this?" ”

Xiao Jing smiled bitterly but did not answer.

After Li Dongyang opened the booklet, the three cabinet ministers gasped, although the content was a little obscure, but they could still detect that this was a roster of records of bribery.

In the name recorded on the homepage, Tu Tu is impressively listed.

"Bingchen year leap March Renzi, by the left capital of the imperial history Tu, yellow rice twenty stones, white rice six hundred and fifty stones. In June of the year of Bingchen, add 500 stone of white rice ......"

The record was so detailed that even Liu Jian, who knew about Tu Yun's gift in advance, was surprised.

Liu Jian was in a dilemma.

Chaozong obviously said that it was for the operation of the ministry and had to give gifts, but this is not the case with the above records, and the year of Bingchen happened to be the year when he entered the ministry as a secretary, can it be said that this is not a bribe he gave in order to get an official position?

Your Majesty has clearly said that if someone gains an official position by bribing Li Guang with friends, he needs to be dismissed, why do you Tu Tu think that your gift is more noble than others?

Li Dongyang read very quickly, and after flipping through a few pages, he looked up at Xiao Jing and said, "Grandpa Xiao, what does Your Majesty mean by this?" ”

Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty's intention is not to let the situation expand again, not to punish anyone's crimes, and also ask the three cabinet elders to mediate and eliminate the impact of this matter." As for the rest, please forgive us for not being able to elaborate. ”

Because the booklet only had time to read through a stick of incense, the three of them couldn't write them all down, but Li Dongyang still tried his best to remember the people and things listed on it in his heart.

This is equivalent to a book of incriminating evidence, pinched in the hands of the emperor, and the emperor will dispose of whoever he wants at any time.

It belongs to the art of the emperor and the minister.

"Three, have you finished reading it? Our family was ordered to take it back. Li Ge Lao? ”

Li Dongyang had just finished reading the last page, and he had no choice but to return the booklet.

Xiao Jing didn't say anything superfluous, got the booklet, saluted and left.

When the others left, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian looked at Liu Jian at the same time, meaning that Liu Jian would take the idea.

Liu Jian sighed: "Actually, I knew about this for a long time, and I also talked to Gonggong Xiao in private. ”

"Why didn't Your Majesty mention it before?" Li Dongyang went straight to the point.

"It's not that I didn't mention it, but someone played and urged His Majesty to press this matter down." Liu Jian said.

Li Dongyang asked: "Who?" ”

Liu Jian sighed: "It is Zhang Bingkuan, the Nanyong Gongsheng who predicted the disaster of Qingning Palace. According to Gonggong Xiao, after Li Guang's death, he and Zhang Bingkuan found out this nationality in the Li Mansion together, and then Zhang Bingkuan asked him to dissuade His Majesty from making a big matter a small one on the grounds that the situation was not suitable for expansion, which was adopted by His Majesty after careful consideration. ”

Even Li Dongyang was shocked and said: "This Zhang Bingkuan, it's really not simple. ”

Xie Qian also sighed: "Jiangnan Xie Yuan, how can he take the overall situation into account? Could it be that the question of the Jiangnan Township test was also calculated by him? ”

Liu Jian didn't want to answer such groundless speculation.

Xie Qian added: "Then what, I'll go to Tu Chaozong to explain this matter?" ”

"No!"

Liu Jian immediately rejected this proposal, "The emperor is so full of words in the court, if he is allowed to know, how can he stand among the courtiers?" His Majesty did not expose it on the spot, or he meant not to pursue responsibility, or he also thought that Li Guang was dead, and his words were not enough to be accepted. At this time, Your Majesty is asking us to calm the hearts of the people and calm down the situation in the DPRK and China, and it is our responsibility to do this. ”

"Let go of the matter at hand first, go around the yamen, and dissuade the ministers from letting people talk about Li Guang's conspirators."

Li Dongyang asked, "What about the Qingning Palace disaster?" ”

Liu Jian bowed his head: "You can say it." ”

……

……

Zhu Youzhu took Dai Yi and a few followers and walked all the way to the Wenhua Palace.

This time, there was not even a eunuch watching outside the Wenhua Palace, because Zhu Houzhao was playing brightly inside, and it was rare for Zhu Houzhao to be so stubborn and ignore his father.

When Zhu Youzhu entered the apse of the Wenhua Palace.

Gao Feng, who was watching the excitement on the side, felt that a hand fell on his shoulder, and suddenly turned around, and saw Zhu Youzhi standing in front of him with a cold face.

"Silence!"

Zhu Youzhi looked at the large group of people inside, and the loudest voice among them was his son, "What is this doing?" ”

In the apse of the Wenhua Hall, dozens of tables are being put together at this time, and there are dozens of strange-looking wooden planks put together, and on the wooden boards, there are things that look like mountains erected by cardboard boxes, mountains and sands made of sand and stones, and the outline of the castle built with simple clay......

There are also clay figurines, riding horses or holding spears, accompanied by all kinds of strange marked flags, planted on this large patchwork wooden pallet.

Gao Feng replied softly: "Your Majesty, Zhang Jieyuan said that this is called a sand table exercise. ”

Zhu Youzhi stiffened his face and said: "I said that I was asked to teach, why do you just care?" Sandbox ......"

Even if Zhu Youzhu felt that his son was frolicking, he couldn't help but take a few more glances when he saw such a spectacular "sand table exercise".

At this time, Zhu Houzhao was still shouting: "My three-way men and horses have surrounded your soldiers and horses in the lonely city, it seems that I have won." ”

is no longer the usual "main palace" and closed "main palace", Zhu Houzhao looks domineering, but seems to be more approachable.

This made Zhu Youzhu feel that his son had made some progress.

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Prince, don't say it too early, there is still an ambush on the minister's side, which has not yet been revealed, do you know what soldiers and horses the minister is on this way?" Grandpa Liu, announce it. ”

Liu Jin picked up the card on the side, corresponding to the number of the flag, but said in surprise: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, Zhang Jieyuan has only arranged 300 light cavalry and 600 infantry here, which is much less than your siege men!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be able to claim the city. ”

Zhang Zhoudao: "Father-in-law Liu, do you understand the rules?" The siege must have more than three times the soldiers and horses, in order to have a chance of victory, if the war starts, the loss ratio is also one to three, His Royal Highness the Prince, are you sure you want to attack my lonely city with your current men and horses? ”

Zhu Houzhao was like a tactician, and said with a smile: "I can besiege the city to send reinforcements, but I don't believe that the grain and grass in your city are sufficient." Liu Jin, tell me, how much grain and grass is there in his city? ”

As a magistrate, Liu Jin continued to look at the record in the booklet and said, "Six hundred stones, you can hold on for ten days." ”

Zhu Houzhao said proudly: "Then my soldiers and horses will be stationed here for ten days to see if you send reinforcements over, if you send reinforcements, I will attack the city on your left." If you don't send it, the palace will wait for you to cut off your food and grass, and then attack the city and attack your hungry soldiers, what is the battle loss ratio at that time? ”

Liu Jin said happily: "Five to one." ”

Zhang Zhou said with regret: "It seems that the minister can only find a chance to break through." ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "Your 300 light cavalry may run away with three steps a day, but your 600 infantry can only move at a speed of one step a day, and my heavy cavalry will guard them to the death if they take two steps a day, see how you run!" ”
