Chapter 38 There is no room for optimism
79 Read.Read.Nethu Lord Xu Ruo, if he participated in Zhang Dakui, he recommended him to be a member of the Ministry of Rites Wailang (five products), although he was promoted to one level, but it was better than nothing, if the emperor killed Zhang Dakui in anger, then he was recommended to be a waiter of the Ministry of Rites (four products),
At this moment, Zhao Kang, his head was full of black gauze hats, and when he shouted out, he was also shocked by a few birds flying in the Jinluan Palace.
"Zhao Kang, the Qing official of the Xuanli Department, meet you," the eunuch in the palace sang, Zhao Kang heard the words and walked to the main hall before lifting the robe, and went up the stairs into the temple gate, but Zhao Kang did not dare to go forward, because the pilgrimage in the hall has the rules of pilgrimage, the higher the official rank, Zhao Kang knelt down in front of the door,
"Your Majesty, the minister Zhao Kang has a play," Zhao Kang said and wept bitterly,
Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhao Kang like this, but not only frowned, but said impatiently: "If you have something to say, what kind of system is crying and crying?"
Zhao Kang took out the playbook from his sleeve with trembling hands and said: "The minister's official position is humble, this playbook should have been reviewed by Lord Qian of the Ministry of Rites, and then forwarded to the emperor, but the minister can't bear to see Lun Chang will be abolished, so he took the crime of overstepping the system, and hoped that the emperor would see it," Zhao Kang said, kneeling with the playbook in both hands, and crying in a mess,
What is this, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang supported his forehead with his hand, and he had not slept well for many days, but now after this Zhao Kang made a fuss, he had a headache, and the eunuch next to him saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "Present it,"
The eunuch received the order, got off the Sumeru platform and walked to Zhao Kang to take the playbook, and when he turned around, he glared at Zhao Kang contemptuously, the meaning was obvious, it was to blame Zhao Kang for playing the book at any time, Zhao Kang was lying on the ground, but he didn't see the eunuch's eyes, it's no wonder, but all officials below the fifth grade, there is no one who is not stunned when he sees the emperor, the so-called dragon is like a prison, and the emperor's grace is like the sea.
The eunuch returned to Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's side, and presented the fold with both hands.
Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang took the fold and opened it, and took a hasty look, but in an instant, Long Yan was furious,
"Zhao Kang, you are so bold," Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang said and threw the fold in his hand towards Zhao Kang in the distance.
Zhao Kang heard that the emperor was angry, and almost peed his pants at the door of the palace, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart, who he was looking for, but he went to find the 'knife Liu' ghostwriter outside the west gate, this 'knife Liu' is quite famous in Beijing Yingtian, not only writing letters and writing lawsuits, but his pen power is scathing but irrefutable, who asks him to write a lawsuit on behalf of him, every ten wins nine wins, because of his sharp writing, inherent 'knife Liu' said,
Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Zhao Kang and scolded: "You are a small person from the Wupin Qing Division, you dare to sue the Yipin Taibao, I don't deal with you, where is Lun Chang,"
Before the words fell, Liu Bowen, who was standing at the head of the class, came out of the class and said: "The emperor is angry, and the minister Liu Bowen has a play,"
Liu Bowen is the minister of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's humerus, which is tantamount to the military advisor of the Ming Dynasty, seeing that Liu Bowen has something to say, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang naturally can't calm his anger for a while, and then Wen Yan said: "Prime Minister Liu Cheng has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it,"
Liu Bowen didn't speak, walked over and picked up the fold thrown by Zhu Yuanzhang, turned around and asked: "Your Majesty, can the minister take a look at this fold?"
Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and waved his hand: "Look, it's really annoying,"
Liu Bowen got the holy edict, and then he unfolded the fold and looked at it carefully, the fold was presented to the emperor, although Liu Bowen was the prime minister, but he could not watch it without permission, this is a felony that exceeded the system, but in order to share the emperor's worries, Liu Bowen asked first and then looked at the fold,
Liu Bowen read it first, and then smiled slightly: "Young people, the rhetoric is tricky, the emperor must not be angry," Liu Bowen turned around and asked Zhao Kang: "This recital was written by you,"
Zhao Kang was so shocked when he heard this that he kowtowed again and again: "Don't dare to deceive the prime minister, this letter is written by the lower officials, and the prime minister spares his life,"
It is rumored that Liu Bowen has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, the ghosts and gods are indisputable, can predict the rise and fall of the five hundred years before and after, and the strategy of the military book is even more familiar with the chest, the Ming Dynasty can have today, Liu Bowen is the greatest, when the head of the group of ministers, when the business is not halfway, Liu Bowen has to guide, the Red Turban Army has won a hundred battles, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang praised Liu Bowen many times and said: "My son Fang also,"
Zhao Kang was originally a cowardly person, at this moment, when he saw Liu Bowen asking, where did he dare to hide it, and immediately admitted that he was looking for someone to write it, but he didn't expect that he said to the emperor that it was written by himself, but to Liu Bowen he said that he was looking for someone to write on his behalf, which was undoubtedly guilty of defrauding the king.
Hu Weiyong thought that Zhao Kang had provoked the emperor's thunderous anger, and the two people he arranged for him to go out to fan the flames, and Zhang Dakui would definitely die at that time, which Cheng thought that Zhao Kang was so unhelpful, and as soon as Liu Bowen came out, he scared Zhao Kang like this,
Zhao Kang's begging for mercy, Liu Bowen smiled at him, but Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly in the hall: "Where is Zhou Zhen, the secretary of the Criminal Department?"
Zhou Zhen came out of the class and said: "The minister is here,"
Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Based on what Zhou Aiqing saw, what should this Zhao Kang be guilty of?"
Zhou Zhen thought about it for a while, and then said: "The crime should be beheaded,"
"Let's do it," Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and then supported his forehead with his hand, and as soon as the words fell, two gold-armored warriors walked into the hall, and dragged Zhao Kang out like chickens.
"Don't say this Zhao Kang, I really forgot that Zhang Dakui," Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and continued: "According to the report, Zhang Dakui privately received 300,000 taels of silver, and he is suspected of selling his official position, what do you think of Aiqing?"
When Hu Weiyong heard this, he felt that the opportunity had come, so he glanced at Sheng Yuanfu, the servant of the Criminal Department, who was not far away.
Sheng Yuanfu understood, and went out to play: "Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music,"
"Speak," Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang said lazily,
"The minister thinks that Zhang Dakui's crime does not need to be discussed, and accepting bribes without permission is a clear proof, according to the law issued by the Ming Dynasty, if the bribes are more than ten taels, they will be beheaded, and Zhang Dakui will not be able to atone for his crimes," Sheng Yuanfu said and returned to the train.
When Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he asked Liu Bowen: "According to the Prime Minister's opinion, how should this matter be handled?"
Liu Bowen made a little planning, and then said: "According to the minister's opinion, Zhang Dakui can't be killed, there are three reasons: first, he is the only relict minister of the Later Song Dynasty, if he kills the world, he is afraid that the emperor does not miss the old feelings, and the second is that Zhang Dakui and General Tang are old friends, and General Tang is the emperor's playmate since childhood, which is tantamount to siblings, if you kill Zhang Dakui, I am afraid that General Tang will be cold, and third, General Yuchun will die, although there is no shortage of fierce generals in the army, but it is really rare to be able to compete with General Chang Yuchun, I heard that General Chang and Zhang Dakui fought in the military gate, The two of them are evenly matched, if they kill them rashly, the Ming Dynasty will lose another member of the world's fierce generals,"
Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and then said: "When I made him an official, he just refused to take up his military position, saying that he couldn't see his brother die tragically, so that I could not help it,"
