For Zhu Youzhu to come forward to make the decision for Zhang Zhou, it is tantamount to saying that whoever wants to implicate Zhang Zhou with the issue of the issue will be subject to strict scrutiny.

Zhang Zhou had never met anyone in the first place, nor had he talked about any test questions, who would risk being tortured by the edict to slander him?

It seems that the whole thing, he can really get out of it.

Hua Chang was taken down by the brocade guard.

Zhang Zhou was still standing in the Fengtian Palace, as if waiting for Zhu Youzhi to arrange a place for him, or find someone to take him away.

Li Wen, the secretary of Taichang Temple, came out and said: "Your Majesty, if you want to go to prison and be held accountable for saying that the official has something to do, I am afraid that it will make the official not play it, and the people will not be able to apply for it, which is to block the way of speech." I also ask Your Majesty to forgive Hua Chang and send someone to find out what happened. ”

At present, there are two Taichang Siqing in the Ming Dynasty, one is Li Wen who is in charge of Taichang Temple, and the other is currently only the name of Taichang Siqing, and in the seventeenth year of Hongzhi as a Taoist priest, he did the Ministry of Rites and Taichang Temple, Cui Zhiduan, who was in charge of Taichang Temple.

From Emperor Chenghua to Emperor Hongzhi, the respect for Taoist priests is increasing day by day.

Governing the country with Taoist priests sounds like nonsense, but it was the right time in the Hongzhi Dynasty.

Of course, Taichang Temple, as a special yamen of the Ming Dynasty, has a lot of strange employees, and it is also the hardest hit area of the preaching officials, and Wu Hao, the Qintian Supervisor, is the Shaoqing of Taichang Temple, and he is not from the imperial examination, probably because of this, Li Wen, who was born in Jinshi, will have a greater opinion on Zhang Zhou.

Maybe Zhang Zhou entered the court as a person or a Taoist priest, and he was promoted to a Taichang temple or something.

And the emperor's trust in Zhang Zhou is much stronger than Cui Zhiduan.

Zhu Youzhu said: "The Ministry of Rites will take the test, but there is no human and material evidence. ”

Li Wen hesitated for a moment, but still shrunk his head and retreated into the courtier's class.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you have anything else to say about Zhang Zhou's involvement in the issue? If there is no substantial evidence in the future, whoever speaks badly and slanderously will not be polite again, and the folk scholars will not be an exception. ”

Zhu Youzhu was still ruthless.

He just wants Zhang Zhou to get rid of this matter, even if he uses a little unconventional means, he will not hesitate to do it.

Although the Wenchen present were also annoyed by the emperor's favoritism towards Zhang Zhou, as the emperor said, they had no evidence, even if they were dissatisfied, they could only endure it first.

Many people are also thinking, the law does not blame the public, if those scholars and literati just want to discuss, what else can you not do, Your Majesty?

Zhu Youzhu said again: "I have never made it public about the treatment of pox epidemics, as well as the prediction of the Qingning Palace disaster, the single-handedly concoction of mighty heavenly gunpowder, and the help of Wang Weining to achieve meritorious deeds in the northwest. Taking advantage of the fact that Zhang Qing's family is in the court today, I ordered the drafting of an edict to announce this matter to the world! ”

The ministers were left with only big eyes and small eyes.

Just now, I was still thinking about what method the emperor could use to calm down the discussion of Zhang Zhou in the outside world.

But if the emperor made all the things that Zhang Zhou had done before public...... The scholars outside will also know that this is a figure that cannot be provoked......

Under strict orders, who would dare to slander casually?

Zhu Youzhi is almost telling the world that Zhang Zhou doesn't need to use any tricks to achieve fame, with his merits, I can't use him too much, and the fame of a jinshi is rare? You finally know why he dared to tell Tang Yin that if he failed the Jinshi exam this time, he wouldn't take the exam again, right? Because there's no need to take the test again.

"I also asked the Guozijian before, made a tribute election, Zhang Qing's family to pay tribute to the first name, for the sake of use, if he is not recorded in the undergraduate examination, I will use it as a tribute, appointed as the Hanlin Academy review, this matter I have discussed with Liu Ge Lao and them, and your Qing family does not need to negotiate in the court again."

Zhu Youzhi said another piece of news that made the Wenchen present collapse.

They seemed to finally know why the emperor didn't believe that Zhang Zhou would be involved in the issue.

It's really not necessary.

Zhang Zhou is not a jinshi, even if he is just a lifter, the emperor can arrange a position for him to be a jinshi, selected as a jinshi, and stay in the museum for three years before he can be appointed.

So what's the need to cheat?

Originally, the emperor said this, and there were people present who could oppose it, but the problem was that even Liu Jian, the first assistant, agreed to it, what qualifications did they have to come out and oppose it?

And listening to the emperor's meaning, this time he was selected to join the court by paying tribute, which has a reasonable and clear purpose, and that is really ...... Beep the dog.

"Zhang Qing's family, when he enters the court in the future, he must work hard for the court." Zhu Youzhi seems to have great expectations for Zhang Zhou's entry into the office.

Zhang Zhou arched his hand and said, "The minister respectfully obeys His Majesty's teachings. ”

The Wenchen of the Eastern Class almost gritted his teeth, hating to peel Zhang Zhou's skin and bones, it is precisely because he hates others and hates himself, why does this product have this treatment, but we don't? When he enters the court in the future, will the order of civil officials not be disrupted by him? Is he a Taoist priest or a Confucian scholar?

"Zhang Qingjia, you stand aside, wait for the end of the court, go to the Qianqing Palace, I still have something to say."

Zhu Youzhu is not finished yet.

He also told the ministers present in public that I just believe in Zhang Zhou, and I like to see him alone, and his opinions can be directly heard by heaven, so I asked you what kind of temper you have?

Zhang Zhou looked at both sides, which side should he stand on?

Originally, it was Wenchen, but Wenchen didn't seem to have any intention of giving him a place, so he had to lean over, it would be like a wart on his body, and if he had to protrude a piece, it would be boring, and he could only stand in Hua Chang's previous position if he stood back, which was not a good choice.

Zhang Mao took a step away with a smile at this time and said, "Zhang Gongsheng, please come over and stand with the old man." ”

Wu Xun knew each other very well, and they all automatically took a step back and gave way to a place.

It's as if they're saying, "Come to our bowls."

Zhang Zhou did not follow Zhang Mao's invitation, he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has not yet been admitted to the Jinshi, nor has he entered the court, and he is not qualified to observe the court's discussion. ”

Wen Chen was somewhat surprised.

This kid...... This will make you acquainted again.

"Hmm." Zhu Youzhu nodded, but did not give an order.

Zhang Zhou looked sideways at a group of civil officials on the left and said, "Colleagues, I know what you think in my heart, and I am indeed not qualified to be ranked with you today. It's not that you don't know the etiquette, but if someone wants to deliberately frame a slander, you have to come forward to defend yourself no matter what. ”

"If others make unwarranted accusations, it is not my wish to let my subordinates suffer unjustified injustice."

Just now, the civil officials still felt that Zhang Zhou still knew the etiquette of Confucianism, and after listening to Zhang Zhou's words, many people looked at each other angrily.

What is this?

Victory speech?

After showing off his might with Hua Chang, show off his might to us again? Do you want to be a minister with us in the future?

Xie Qian said with a smile: "Zhang Gongsheng, don't be cheap. ”

Everyone else doesn't dare to come out and say anything at the moment, but Xie Qian is not afraid, his mouth is scolding the king in the middle of the world, he has nothing to dare to say, and everyone knows his character, even the emperor is not to blame because he was once the emperor's teacher.

At this time, it seemed that he was the only one who dared to come out and mock Zhang Zhou like this.

Zhang Zhou had just suppressed Hua Chang with his momentum before, and he was not at all stunned by Xie Qian now.

He said righteously: "Elder Xie Ge, justice is not in the hearts of the people but in the will of heaven, there is no hope that you can get rid of the relationship with the questioning case, and it is difficult to block the mouth of the world, but if you want to give people a verdict, at least there must be evidence of guilt, if there is really evidence of guilt in front of you, you don't mind accepting strict interrogation and interrogation." Please also ask Elder Xie Ge, don't treat the minimum fairness of the court as a bargain that can be exchanged, there is no justice in your heart, and there is heaven in your heart. ”

As soon as these words came out, the court was in an uproar.

In front of the monarch and ministers, Zhang Zhou not only replied to Xie Qian, but also seemed to be educating the ministers present.

How can you Zhang Zhou, how can you?

Just because you are the person the emperor trusts, you feel that you represent justice?

"Crazy!"

Immediately there were shouts of scolding from the crowd of civil officials.

Zhang Zhou didn't seem to mind at all.

Zhu Youzhu also didn't know Zhang Zhou's path a little, and said that it was to clear your suspicions, let you have a good relationship with civil officials, and help you enter the court in the future, and you have been doing this all the time before...... Why did you take the initiative to put on a burr and fight with Xie Qian, who represented the civil service?

Let's look at the other party to the incident, Xie Qian.

At this time, Xie Qian was also a little confused.

I thank someone for scolding people in the court for so many years, even the emperor was scolded by me, I have to save you three points of face, you kid is good, just don't save face for me.

That's it, do you still want to be a good civil servant in the future?

"Uh...... Zhang Qingjia, what you said is also somewhat true, in the end, what you said is just a rumor, and there is not enough evidence of guilt. Come, send Zhang Qing's family out of the palace first, and wait for the Qianqing Palace to see ......"

Zhu Youzhi could only hurry out of the round first.

Taking advantage of the fact that the situation did not deteriorate, let Xiao Jing take Zhang Zhou out of Fengtian Hall and wait to meet him in the Qianqing Palace.

……

……

"Mr. Zhang, what are you...... What's going on? Originally, everything had subsided, you listened to Xie Ge Lao's words, you should not have heard it, others are like this, why bother with him? ”

Xiao Jing also felt that Zhang Zhou was a little "pampered and arrogant".

You can't just not give each other steps just because the emperor trusts you very much, right?

Isn't it to pave the way for you to enter the court?

You're not leaving yourself a way out.

Can you blame Your Majesty for not helping you?

Zhang Zhou smiled: "Grandpa Xiao, have you forgotten what I asked you before?" ”

Xiao Jing almost wanted to ask, which one?

When he came back to his senses, he probably understood that it was on the way for the two to enter the palace, Zhang Zhou said, "If I say so, will they really let me go?" "This sentence.

He also realized that no matter whether Zhang Zhou was afraid of Xie Qian or not, or how sincere he got along with the civil officials, or whether Zhang Zhou was a Zhongjinshi, or if he was not a Zhongjinshi, he would not be able to play happily with the civil officials anymore, and Zhang Zhou was destined to not be recognized by the civil officials.

"Mr. Zhang, it seems that from the beginning, you thought that the Chinese courtiers of the court would not let you go, and you were ready to compete with them from the beginning?"

Xiao Jing was speechless.

The heart said that it was no wonder that this kid was on the way to the palace, as if he was an aggressive rooster, and he showed a posture that was not afraid of things.

Here's why.

Zhang Zhou smiled: "I'm from this background, I can't do it if I don't compete." If I'm not strong, then when I enter the court in the future, I'm afraid that not everyone will treat me as a soft persimmon and pinch me one by one, right? It's just like when I understand the Yuan, everyone wants to learn from me. If you have to find someone to compete with today, then you should start with Xie Ge first, who asked him to pinch me first? ”
