Chapter 128 The nephew is really a nephew(1/2)
Zhu Youzhang couldn't help but smile bitterly after hearing Zhang Yanling's words.
He said leisurely: "Yan...Brother Jianchang, I am now increasingly discovering that you have used all the energy to act recklessly in the court. Is this a place where you do not follow the rules?"
It seems to be accusing.
But after hearing this, it makes people feel even more joking.
Zhang Yanling bowed and said, "Your Majesty has taught me, I just don't understand the rules very well, or I am not as abiding by the rules as the ministers present, so I did a lot of wrong things. In fact, I also want to hear their opinions on the norms of behavior of my ministers, which is a reminder and encouragement for me to act as my ministers in the future."
"My colleagues, today I am humble in my education, so don't be polite. Please."
The ministers present watched Zhang Yanling coldly.
Let us come out and criticize you?
There is no door.
Who are you? What qualifications are you to communicate directly with us?
Zhu Youzhang shook his head helplessly and said, "Who will come out to give him a start and let him know where his mistake is."
Even the emperor asked the ministers to come out and make a move.
Didn’t you like to criticize him before?
Now the opportunity is here.
Take a good grasp.
Let you criticize it today.
The Fengtian Palace was very quiet, and no one came out for a long time. Perhaps they had already discussed it in advance that they must advance and retreat together today, and the strategy formulated is to resolutely not emerge.
So now everyone is watching coldly.
Zhu Youzhang frowned slightly.
Zhang Yanling laughed in his heart: "You group of people, I don't know how to give you opportunities. Since you also know that the emperor has finished his work with me and wants to hit me later, he still insists on showing a unity. What do you think about the emperor? All the civil officials have formed a faction, and I can't help but fight alone, so I'd better restrain myself and don't hurt my brother-in-law's enthusiasm?"
Not everyone present could not understand this.
Especially the cabinet and several ministries, their political awareness is relatively high.
Li Dongyang was the first to notice the clue: "Why did Zhang's relatives be so arrogant and domineering to provoke the ministers in the court with words? It seems that he did not understand the rules, but saw that the emperor now needed him to check and balance with civil officials, so he deliberately used words to squeeze the civil officials and did not let civil officials speak! In this way, everyone should not have stopped talking in the court at the beginning."
Although Li Dongyang understood it clearly, it was obviously inappropriate to let the people from the cabinet jump out to impeach Zhang Yanling at this time.
He was also amazed in his heart.
Can a relative who was ignorant in the past see the situation so thoroughly?
Or is this just a coincidence?
Zhu Youzhang's face indeed changed.
"All the Qing families, I have received countless memorials from impeachment of Jianchang Bo here. Could it be that it was not yours? Why did you come out and talk in person but stop talking? Are you afraid of confronting him in person?"
Zhu Youzhang was obviously a little unhappy.
Still no one spoke.
Zhu Youzhe said: "Since that's the case, let the Silijian say it. Silijian..."
"I'm here." Li Rong felt the huge pressure and walked out and said, "Return to Your Majesty, the memorials of impeachment of Jianchang Bo and Shouning Hou are mainly concentrated in three points. Among them, the most impeachment content is that the two uncles took the prince to the market before, and asked the prince to fight with others, putting the prince in danger."
Since no one came out to say it alone, Li Rong could only make a summary.
If you want to say that what Zhang Yanling has done most recently is to take Zhu Houzhao to fight.
Such things are sensational in any dynasty.
The relative of the foreigner took the prince out to fight...
How could such a big scandal be carried out in just one sum?
Zhu Youtu said, "Why is this still a cliché? It was in the court a few days ago. Have I never held him responsible for this matter? At that time, it seemed that Mr. Xu pleaded for him. Did he insist on bringing out the old story?"
Li Rong looked at the ministers standing neatly below, and finally said with a bitter face: "Maybe the ministers think this matter is important and should be questioned clearly."
Zhu Youzhang said impatiently: "Brother Jianchang, what do you say about this?"
Zhang Yanling was still present and did not go back, just waiting for interrogation. He heard this and just bowed, "Go back to Your Majesty, the minister has investigated this matter clearly. The person who beat the people was from the Song family of Hui merchants who run official salt in the capital. They raised thugs to bully the market and happened to be met by the prince. The prince was resentful and taught a lesson. It was really awesome. Many people in the people praised it."
All the ministers frowned after hearing this.
Still shameless.
Zhu Youzing turned to Xiao Jing and said, "Is that true?"
Xiao Jing was stunned, then walked out and said, "Reply to Your Majesty, what the public said is indeed the case."
Zhu Youzhang nodded with satisfaction and said, "What else do you have to say about this?"
All the ministers were almost there to jump out. Zhang Yanling once again called the deer a horse, and said that the bad things he had done were good, and indirectly complimented the prince. Such shameless behavior should be punished by heaven and earth.
But no matter how much they complain in their hearts, no one comes out to say it.
Strategic and tactical issues.
Zhang Yanling looked at this posture and thought: "You guys can really bear it. If you want to say that I like to speak quickly, you are the king of verbal pleasures. Are you not tired of pretending to be mute today? Don't you feel frustrated?"
...
Seeing that no one came out to argue, Zhu Youzhe continued, "It was said that it was three, what is the next one?"
Li Rong swallowed his mouth and saliva.
What the civil ministers didn't say was asked to come out and say, helping the civil ministers impeach the uncle in front of the emperor. With his previous attitude towards the uncle when he saw the emperor in the Ganqing Palace, is this a good thing to eat?
Li Rong gritted his teeth and said, "The second thing is that the British Duke and Jianchangbo fought in the street... The British Duke was also suspected of being arbitrarily dispatched troops."
"Wow!"
As soon as these words came out, the court was in an uproar.
When it comes to this matter, most people present don’t know. Perhaps they know that Zhang Yanling likes to say that black is white. In addition, this time, Zhang Mao impeached the people together, because they were afraid that Zhang Mao would have had a close relationship with the civil officials and would learn about the news in advance, so they hid the matter, so that the ministers almost knew about it with the two victims.
Zhu Youzhang frowned and said, "There is such a thing?"
While speaking, he looked at Zhang Mao.
Zhang Maoren was also confused and thought to himself, "Good guy, I just said that it was not the great dynasty that he insisted on letting Wu Xun come too." There must be no good things. Is the relationship waiting for me here?"
"Your Majesty, the old minister deserves to die."
Zhang Mao hurried out and pleaded guilty.
Unlike other people who come up and argue, Zhang Mao is also the kind of person who doesn’t ask for the reason and puts himself on a guilty hat first. This is actually the experience in the officialdom.
There was an unwritten rule among the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty.
Whenever a civil servant is impeached, no matter who it is, whether the court or whether it is convicted afterwards, the minister will definitely submit a memorial to beg for the old man to return to the field afterwards. Sometimes, more than one copy is required.
In fact, it is considered that the emperor often cannot punish anyone openly, so he voluntarily resigns and does not make things difficult for the emperor.
Whether the emperor is accurate or not is the same thing.
When the emperor asks you to resign, it will be not as simple as leaving office.
For example, Ye Qi was not fired by the emperor, but Ye Qi took the initiative to "beg for rest".
When it comes to Zhang Mao, the truth is also normal.
Zhu Youzhe said: "Duke of England, don't rush to confess your guilt. What's going on? Are you dispatching troops in the capital without authorization?"
Zhang Maozheng didn't know how to explain.
Zhang Yanling walked out and said, "If you say that, the situation on that day was actually that I asked the British Duke to mobilize some mobilized family soldiers and go to handle a case with me. Because I have no military power at hand, I will come up with this bad strategy. I hope Your Majesty will understand clearly."
It is said that it is a family soldier, but it is actually the escort of Wu Xun. It is allocated by the Governor's Office and is responsible for protection in normal times.
"How could I fight with the British Duke in the street? Someone is impeached like this, and he also needs to find a personal certificate. Who saw us fighting and how did he fight?"
Zhang Mao originally thought it was inappropriate to lie in person, which would go against the image of a loyal and straight old minister he had created before.
Now that Zhang Yanling is lying for him, he feels sorry for him. In fact, it is his own fault, and Zhang Yanling is responsible for him.
A virtuous nephew is really a virtuous nephew.
Zhu Youzing looked at Li Rong and said, "Where is there any details of the fight in the memorial?"
"this……"
Li Rong was stunned.
In the memorial, I just mentioned it in a unclear way that the two of them fought in the street, and said that Zhang Mao went with his weapons and almost turned into an armed fight, but afterwards, I didn't mention a single word.
"Does Dongchang not know about this?"
Zhu Youzu was annoyed.
Such a big thing, I just don’t know about it?
Xiao Jing was still present at that time, and he suddenly felt grateful to Zhang Yanling. If Zhang Yanling hadn't come out first to set the tone of finding Zhang Mao to do things, it would be difficult to justify him as his identity.
To be continued...
