Overnight, they were all planning for the "reversal", or trying to grab some benefits from it.

Before dawn, Zhu Youzhu returned to the palace, for him, a half-life diligent king, this kind of day in and out of the palace gate did not seem to be very hard, at least when he went to Fengtian Hall to prepare for the early dynasty, his mental state was still very good.

"Has Bingkuan entered the palace?"

Before Zhu Youzhu moved to Fengtian Palace, he also asked.

Xiao Jing handed over a joint impeachment of Zhang Zhou to Zhu Youji, and replied respectfully when he heard the words: "I guess I am already on the way to enter the palace." ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "Yes, today is his position in the court, but it has changed its taste." ”

As he spoke, he opened it casually and took a look, and he didn't think it was unusual to see the content on it, and he didn't bother to look at the long signed list behind him, so he closed it and handed it back to Xiao Jing.

"Then Your Majesty, do you wait for Lai Guogong to enter the palace, talk to him first, and then go to the main hall?" Xiao respectfully asks for instructions.

"No need." Zhu Youzhu said, "When the preparations over there are almost the same, I will pass, I have a little more expectations for today's court meeting." ”

Xiao Jing's heart sank when he heard this.

Is this that the emperor and Zhang Zhou have already discussed countermeasures?

But why don't even we, the celebrants, and eunuchs, know anything about it?

How do you inform the ministers of the DPRK and China so that they can take precautions?

……

……

Until the court meeting was about to begin, Xiao Jing felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Because this time he directly contradicted the emperor, and even had to cooperate with the minister to take down Zhang Zhou, even if Xiao Jing had 10,000 reasons in his heart to feel that he was "duty-bound", but when the matter came, he was still muttering in his heart.

Courts.

Wenchen and Wuxun were listed in the east and west classes, but Zhang Zhou, as a meritorious hero of the debriefing on the same day, did not appear directly in the court, but came to worship with the Korean lord Li Yi.

This arrangement, even the minister was temporarily informed, but it was arranged by Xu Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and because Xu Qiong did not participate in the "reversal movement", he did not spread the news to the minister in advance, and even Shen Lu temporarily learned that Li Yi entered the palace on the same day.

In front of the lord of the vassal state...... Heroes of the impeachment of the Ming Dynasty...... This hero is still the most troublesome and feared by the vassal state......

Even if those who participated in the impeachment of Zhang Zhou felt how correct this matter was, at such a time, they would also think that the emperor was a little difficult to end up with on the issue of face.

It's easy to push the emperor into a hurry.

Zhu Youzhu was sitting in a precarious position, as if he had never seen him so formal, in the face of Li Yi's three bows and nine bows to himself, Zhu Youzhu felt the majesty of the emperor of the Heavenly Empire from the bottom of his heart.

"The Qing family is flat." Zhu Youzhu said, "Give the country a book." ”

Immediately, Xiao Jing handed over the prepared scepter and other things to Li Yi.

On Li Yi's side, the envoy Jin Shoutong read out the Korean worship of the Ming Dynasty, especially mentioning the support for the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong Ping Nuzhen in the next few years, as well as the supply of grain and grass for the Nuer Gandu Division, and also asked for the Ming Dynasty's gift to Li Yi.

These have all been responded to by Zhu Youji.

The ministers present looked at the process as if it were a performance, and they all wondered when it would be appropriate to come out and impeach Zhang Zhou.

After Li Yi was officially appointed as the lord of Korea, Zhu Youzhu asked Xiao Jing to read the edict in public, and then handed the edict to the Korean side.

"Li Qingjia, you have come from afar, stay in Beijing for a few days, and then return to the vassal kingdom early. Stability within North Korea is important. If you have any needs for the Ming Dynasty, just ask the Ming Dynasty for instructions, and every quarter of the year, you will sort out and report the major events in your country, and I will read them, and I will also provide relief for natural and man-made disasters in North Korea. Step aside. ”

Zhu Youzhu seemed to have heard the voices of the ministers present, knew that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and also understood that the most important thing today was not to meet the head of the DPRK.

Then Li Yi took his envoys and left the Fengtian Temple together.

……

……

After the end of the Korean lord Yi Yi's court.

Then the second topic was the most important issue of the day...... It is not to impeach Zhang Zhou, but to reward those who have made contributions in Liaodong this time, but it does not include the previous battle of Huangshui...... At the beginning of the year, the basic qualitative work has been made, and the first merit and military merit have been rewarded to the soldiers of Jizhou and Liaodong respectively, although it is still the Jizhou side that has more credit, but the fairness of the soldiers of Liaodong has been basically maintained.

In the battle against the Jurchens in front of him, there is nothing to do with the soldiers of Jizhou.

Everyone also knows that it depends on how the emperor is going to identify Zhang Zhou's merits, but before he identifies it, he first forks a topic.

Fu Han, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, came out and pleaded: "Your Majesty, the lord of the DPRK is seizing power for the purpose of usurping and committing crimes, and it should not be revealed. ”

is not to show merit to Tang Yin, but to condemn Tang Yin.

There was another coincidence of the day...... As one of the heroes of Pingliao, and as a state envoy who once sent to Korea, Tang Yin also appeared in the eastern class of Wenchen as a minister of the court, although he stood at the back of the crowd, but these words clearly fell into his ears.

Sure enough......

Tang Yinxin said.

I came back at the risk of dying and risking my life, but I still became a thorn in your side.

This is forcing me and my brother to go all the way to the dark.

Zhu Youzhu said: "Tang Qing's family was ordered by the emperor to go to North Korea as an envoy, and went twice, first to cooperate with the Korean soldiers, stick to the multi-walled city of the Haixi Jurchen, hold on for several months to lay a victory for this battle, and then send an envoy to question the North Korean lord Li for the slackness and recklessness of the war, so as to attract the Korean lord and ministers to set things right, why is he wrong?" ”

Don't say that you want to investigate Bingkuan, even if you want to investigate the "fault" of Tang Yin next to Bingkuan, you don't want to think about it.

Tang Yin helped Park Yuanzong rebel, and even led the rebellion, which sounds a bit unkind and unjust, and may put Daming on the cusp of public opinion, but the problem is that people have done it, and now the new lord of North Korea is bowing to Daming, and this is the credit.

You ministers like to be fooled, and I don't want to hear it.

"Order." Zhu Youzhu said, "In Tang Yin's assessment, the official position will be increased by one grade, and the governor of Bohai will be used. ”

Tu Tu, the secretary of the ministry, came out and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know what the duties of the governor of Bohai are?" ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "I am going to set up a shipyard in the Bohai Sea and build sea ships for the purpose of the southeast Jinghai. Do you have any objections? ”

Hubu Shangshu Zhou Jing said: "Your Majesty, the matter of shipbuilding is too expensive, and I ask Your Majesty to withdraw your order." ”

"In terms of usage, there is no need for you to worry." Zhu Youzhu said, "The personnel and usage are all raised by Tang Yin himself, and he only needs to transfer 1,000 soldiers from the Beijing camp to cooperate with him." ”

gave Tang Yin a thousand soldiers and horses in the Beijing battalion, and then gave a little silver as start-up capital, and let Tang Yin build a yamen by himself, and do something to the Yamen of the Bohai Governor.

To the ears of the ministers present, the emperor's thinking was a little out of the way, and they all knew that this matter was likely to come from Zhang Zhou's proposal, but no one knew what was hidden behind it.

I woke up in broad daylight, why did I still do some sleepwalking?

Who don't you Zhang Bingkuan want to target next, right?

"As for Bingkuan...... Lai Guogong. ”

Originally, there were many people present who were ready to oppose the establishment of a Bohai governor, but when they heard Zhu Youji's words, everyone held their breath again.

What is the governor of Bohai, as long as Zhang Zhou is brought down, everything can be overthrown without effort.

The key is not that Tang Yin will be the governor, but that Zhang Zhou should be a bastard from the court as soon as possible.

"Your Majesty!"

Just when Wenchen was holding his breath and concentrating, and the Yanguan was already gearing up to make a big move, Zhang Mao, the head of the Western Martial Arts, suddenly walked out.

Many people present feel that you old man Zhang is too out of proportion today, right?

Zhu Youzhu looked at Zhang Mao and said, "British duke, are you in trouble?" ”

Zhang Mao said: "The old minister learned from the mouth of the Qintian Prison that in the next few days, there may be a catastrophe in the capital, and the spearhead is directly aimed at His Majesty's important matter of Lai Guogong, or it will be counterattacked by the will of Heaven, and I also ask Your Majesty to put the common people first, listen to the will of Heaven and don't favor the traitorous ministers anymore." ”

"Huh!?"

There was an uproar in the courtroom.

……

……

Zhang Mao's sudden appearance was originally shameful, Wenchen looked down on Wu Xun, and didn't think Zhang Mao could help at such a time.

But what he said......

But it seems to show that he, Zhang, is also a great minister of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youzhu frowned and said, "British duke, do you know what you're talking about?" ”

Zhang Mao said: "The old minister knows. ”

Immediately, Zhang Mao set his eyes on Zhang Zhou, who had arrived with the Korean envoys and stood between Wenchen and Wuxun, who seemed to be very eye-catching, and said seriously, "The old minister also admires Lai Guogong's past actions, but people must not be able to overcome the sky, if manpower always takes the will of heaven as an excuse, and repeatedly uses the will of heaven to do things, then it will be punished by heaven." ”

"English Princess!"

Zhu Youzhu seemed to be angry, and even his tone became tough, and the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became very depressing.

The Wenchen present also felt that if they had come out to impeach Zhang Zhou before, they would not have been treated better than Zhang Mao.

In other words, the emperor's anger seemed to be directed at Zhang Maosa, but it was actually a warning to everyone present.

"I don't care if I am lenient, whether it is the will of heaven or human affection, or the strategy of martial arts, at least he has made great achievements for the Ming Dynasty, if this is to say that what he does will be punished by God, it is really nonsense, how can you make me believe it?"

As Zhu Youzhu spoke, his gaze swept over everyone present.

This acting ......

Zhang Zhou admired it a little.

Zhang Zhou wanted to say, Your Majesty, let's calm down, we all know that Old Man Zhang is not lying, he did hear this and said so, he also believed so, let's just don't fix those mysteries, just go straight to the dinner.

Liu Jian walked out and said, "Your Majesty, disasters have existed since ancient times, and you can't believe it all, and you can't believe it. ”

At the moment, Liu Jian has to say this.

The ministers jointly impeached Zhang Zhou, and they could only be convicted from the article that Zhang Zhou used magic to disrupt the country, and nothing else...... Zhang Zhou's so many credits can be seen by ordinary people, and they can't ignore it directly, after all, Zhang Zhouci was awarded the title of Lai Guogong with meritorious service before, and he also went through the formal formalities.

Wenchen can't slap himself in the face either.

And in the last recital, they also mentioned the drought in the north, the flood in the south, and the natural and man-made disasters in various places in the past two years, and wanted to attribute all these things to Zhang Zhou's head.

That's why Liu Jian said the words "don't believe it".

Zhu Youzhu said: "Elder Liu Ge, do you think that if there is a disaster somewhere, it is said that it is caused by the use of Bingkuan, is it too harsh on Bingkuan?" Bingkuan can also use the calamity to attack his colleagues in the DPRK and China? ”

Liu Jian said: "There is a matter of building Changbo. ”

"Is that Bingkuan?" Zhu Youzhu said annoyedly, "Bingkuan only mentioned that Jianchangwei might have a ground movement, and even I didn't dare to say that this was directly related to Jianchangbo's misdeeds, and this matter was not mentioned the most?" ”

The emperor also has a temper.

At that time, you used the earthquake of Jianchangwei to forcibly contact Zhang Yanling's crimes, and asked me to send Zhang Yanling to the northwest to "make meritorious contributions", and also rescued Peng Quan, the commander of Jianchangwei, why are you now beating a rake and saying that this is Bingkuan's doing?

"Qin Heavenly Prison!"

Zhu Youzhu shouted angrily.

The unlucky Wu Hao walked out of the pile of Wenchen, and his face clearly showed a kind of despair that he could not love.

I'm just a chess piece, and you're going to use it as a monkey, so what's the matter, hurry up and kill me, I've lived enough.

"Did you tell the British public that something strange might happen, or was you in Beijing, and you could still be associated with Zhang Bingkuan?" Zhu Youzhu shouted.

Wu Hao said: "Yes." ”

"What's wrong with that?" Zhu Youzhi asked.

Wu Hao thought to himself, Your Majesty, don't you know? Or is this Zhang Bingkuan's conspiracy, and he deliberately tricked me?

Wu Hao looked at Zhang Zhou sideways, and then said: "It's a hail disaster, on Wuzi Day, that is, four days later." ”

Zhu Youzhu sneered and said, "Wu Jianzheng, you have such a great ability, you can calculate this?" ”

"Minister...... Sin deserves death. Wu Hao almost wanted to kowtow and admit his mistake to save his life.

"You're not wrong." Zhu Youzhu said, "As the supervisor of Qintian, it is your duty to report everything truthfully, but what is your intention when you mention this matter to the British public?" Is it to get him to forcibly link this matter to Bingkuan? ”

"Uh......" Wu Hao was dumbfounded.

This is not what I want to say, it is what Zhang Bingkuan wants to say.

He is also in the name of Your Majesty.

To blame...... It's all Zhang Bingkuan's fault.

Zhu Youzhu looked around at the people present again: "Ladies and gentlemen, today I saw a note that many ministers of the DPRK and China jointly impeached Bingkuan, saying that he was fortunate to be a traitor to the Ming Dynasty, and he used this to disrupt the country. I would like to ask if you also think that I should abandon him? ”

The ministers present thought to themselves, we have all participated in the impeachment of him, so naturally I want Your Majesty to drive him far away.

Needless to say?

What is for the country and the people, there have always been many people who have served the country and the people, we only recognize the traditional rules, Wang Anshi and Sima Guang, who is loyal and who is traitorous? Aren't the two factions intolerable in the DPRK and China?

Is it a matter of sacrificing personal interests for the sake of a position?

But in the face of such questioning by the emperor, no one at the scene came forward.

Zhu Youzhu said: "As for Bingkuan's matter of rewarding meritorious deeds, postpone it to Wuzi Day, I want to see if there is a hailstorm among the Beijing Division, and if so, it will be another matter." ”

"Your Majesty!" Liu Jian was going to hurry up and express his attitude this time, "Such a thing is too absurd, and it may not need to be verified." ”

Zhang Zhou, who had never spoken, said with a smile: "Elder Liu Ge, Your Majesty didn't say that you won't cure my crimes, you have to wait a few days to see if there is a hailstorm." If anything, it was heaven's punishment for me, and I was willing to leave the court and become a hermit in peace; If not...... Is that any difference from today? In fact, I think that Wu Jian is conclusive, he should be confident, right? ”

"You!"

Liu Jian glared at Zhang Zhou angrily.

Many people were also indignant.

Just Zhang Zhou's attitude of talking in the court has long been unhappy with them.

But Zhang Zhou is not the one who pioneered this, there was Xie Qian who had nothing to do with the gag in the court before, and he still became a famous minister praised by everyone in the Hongzhi period, why can't Zhang Zhou?

Zhang Mao said: "It's still Bingkuan, you are open-minded." ”

Zhang Zhou smiled: "British duke, which side are you on?" ”

While attacking Zhang Zhou with disasters, he occasionally couldn't help but help Zhang Zhou pat his ass......

Zhang Mao smiled and said: "The old man is on the side of justice, and he is also on the side of the Ming Dynasty and the court, if God really intends to condemn you, and you leave the court, isn't it the one you have always admired to act according to the will of God?" ”

"Britain has a point." Zhang Zhou arched his hand.

After watching this scene, the ministers present were about to explode.

They are even suspicious...... Is Old Man Zhang evil? Didn't he say that he joined us in the impeachment of Zhang Bingkuan? Why does he still have a tacit understanding with Zhang Bingkuan?

"That's it!"

Zhu Youzhu said sharply, "This matter can be discussed later, Bingkuan has just returned to the court, and it has not been quiet for a few days, do you want to make my ears not quiet?" ”

The ministers present stopped talking about it.

An originally huge impeachment campaign against Zhang Zhou seemed to be suddenly postponed for a few days because of the cooperation between Zhang Mao and Wu Hao, and the murderous aura became lukewarm.

"Sss Zhang Zhou pretended to be crazy, and closed his eyes at the scene, as if he was breathing in the air, but it gave people the impression of misconduct.

Zhu Youzhu glared at Zhang Zhou and said, "Lai Guogong, what are you doing?" ”

Zhang Zhou opened his eyes and arched his hand: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is sniffing the bloody breath in the air, I originally thought it was very strong, but now it seems to be much lighter." ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "This court is not a place for you to play, Honglu Temple...... Write it down, Lai Guogong misbehaved, and was sentenced to twenty canes. ”

"The minister pleaded guilty." Zhang Zhoudao.

Zhu Youzhu suddenly got up and said angrily: "I don't want to favor anyone, nor do I want to condone anyone!" Zhang Bingkuan, you are the person I trust, but if you go against the will of heaven, I will not allow you to do anything wrong. Thou hast paid the ransom of thyself and atonement with the rod. ”

The ministers present were anxious when they heard this.

Your Majesty, why don't we say that we are going to beat this kid with twenty sticks?

Why did you just condemn him, and then you should make him ransom for him?

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "The minister's body is weak, thank you for your compassion." The minister is willing to smear His Majesty's liver and brain, and then die. ”
