Chapter 139
(PS: There are two updates today, and the first one will be delivered.)
What is the most indispensable thing in the Ming court?The most indispensable thing is a censor who makes a living by swearing!The old eunuch Wei is so powerful, even Yang Lian and other censor officials dare to fight with him. The memorial to the impeachment of Zhu Youjian by Young Master Zhang is more like a spark that ignited the powder keg. Shimen suddenly exploded violently!
Young Master Zhang submitted the impeachment memorial in the morning, and at noon, the impeachment memorials poured into the cabinet and supervisors. Of course, among these officials, there were eunuchs who were ordered by Young Master Zhang, and there were also thorns who did not belong to any party— For example, Xu Eryi and Lu Chengyuan, the two chief executives of the Ministry of Industry, who have always been unreasonable and disapproving of their relatives, are the kind of lone rangers who never form cliques. Win over them, but impeachment has always been life-threatening, either you die or I live. In the memorial, he scolded the future Chongzhen as bloody, shit is worse, he simply scolded Chongzhen as the most disloyal in the world. Unfilial, heartless, despicable people!There are even many officials of the Donglin Party with rigid heads, it is rare to stand on the same front as the Eunuch Party, and open fire and curse at the future Chongzhen! ——No way, Young Master Zhang's reason is too good, as long as it is an official who has been brainwashed by loyalty, filial piety, righteousness and the impermanence of the three principles, there will be no unrighteous indignation!

It is very interesting that among the court officials who impeached Zhu Youjian, the highest official position was the fourth rank of Master Zhang, and the rest were all officials of the fifth and sixth ranks below the fourth rank, and the dignitaries of the first, second and third ranks all pretended to be deaf He was dumb, as if he didn't know about it, and even Wei Zhongxian's eunuch officials were going to impeach him in order to show their hearts, but Wei Zhongxian sternly stopped them, and they were not allowed to get involved - at least not for now!Moreover, Wei Zhongxian not only forbade his high-ranking officials to impeach Zhu Youjian, but also went to the gate of the Meridian Gate to scold Young Master Zhang in public and ordered Young Master Zhang to take back the memorial. Unfortunately, Young Master Zhang seemed to be possessed by Bigan Hai Ruibao Longtu suddenly. Similarly, even Wei Zhongxian didn't listen to what he said, and he wanted to fight Chongzhen desperately!

"Slap!" Young Master Zhang probably got angry. In front of civil and military officials, Wei Zhongxian slapped Young Master Zhang severely, and roared, "Monkey boy, how many times do we have to say it before you understand? Your Majesty!" Now that the dragon body is ill, no matter how reasonable you are, you have to think about the emperor's dragon body, shut up for us! Take back your memorial immediately, do you understand?"

"Father, I did this to be loyal to the emperor!" Young Master Zhang confidently covered his face and shouted loudly: "When the emperor was seriously ill, I believed in the king for the sake of the country left by my ancestors. Accepting the secret decree and preparing to succeed to the throne, there is nothing to blame! Now that the emperor's dragon body is already in great health, the king of trust should take the initiative to return the secret decree. Forming cliques, forming cliques for personal gain, what is it if it’s not plotting wrongdoing? What is it if it’s not plotting to usurp the throne? As a minister of Ming Dynasty, of course, my child should come forward and expose King Xin’s crimes!” Having said this, Young Master Zhang turned to Liu Ruozai and Yu Huang who were behind him A group of officials shouted: "My colleagues, do you think I am doing it right?"

"That's right—!" A large group of low-level officials who were not afraid of wearing shoes on their bare feet agreed abruptly.Wei Zhongxian was trembling with anger, and slapped Young Master Zhang on the face again, and shouted: "Monkey boy, shut up for us! We have already said that the emperor's dragon body is not yet fully healthy. For the sake of his dragon body, don't use these things to provoke the emperor! You immediately take back the memorial, and then take these people away, otherwise, our family will have to serve the family law!"

"No!" Young Master Zhang jumped three feet high and yelled loudly: "Father, even if you rule me with the family law, for the sake of the great Ming Dynasty and the family law left by the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, I will I want to impeach King Xin! King Xin is guilty! Guilty!"

"It's against you!" Wei Zhongxian was so angry that he kicked Young Master Zhang on the ground, and shouted: "Xu Xianchun, drag this monkey boy out of Chengtianmen for our family, and give him twenty sticks!"

"Obey!" Xu Xianchun, the commander of Jin Yiwei, clasped his fists and agreed, and ordered the four Jin Yiwei to set up Young Master Zhang and leave.Xu Eryi and the others in the back were not happy, and jumped out to stop them: "Wait! Eunuch Wei, the official of the imperial court, needs the emperor to personally issue an order. You are not qualified to order the imperial staff Zhang Haogu!" Lu Chengyuan also shouted. : "Eunuch Wei, you are overstepping your authority, I want to join you! I want to join you!"

"Zhang Haogu is our family's own son, and our family is implementing the family law!" Wei Zhongxian said with a livid face: "Master Xu, if you feel inappropriate, you can ask Zhang Haogu yourself. If he says he doesn't want to Follow our family's family law, and our family will tell people not to beat him!" When Xu Er and others turned their heads to look at Young Master Zhang, Young Master Zhang raised his head and shouted: "In order to maintain the order of the court and the righteousness of the monarch and ministers, I am willing to accept the family law! Master Xu, Master Lu, please don’t stop me!"

The hot face was stuck on the cold butt, Xu Eryi, Lu Chengyuan and others were embarrassed to prevent Wei Zhongxian from using family law to deal with Young Master Zhang, they could only watch helplessly as Young Master Zhang was framed out of Chengtian Gate by Jin Yiwei to be tortured, but Young Master Zhang did not leave After a few steps, he broke away from Jin Yiwei and ran back to Wei Zhongxian, knelt down.Wei Zhongxian said happily: "Monkey boy, have you figured it out? As long as you withdraw the memorial, our family will not beat you."

"No, the child would rather die than withdraw the memorial!" The young master Zhang choked Wei Zhongxian half to death, then took out a beautifully crafted silver needle from his bosom, held it over his head with both hands, and said loudly: "Dear, this silver needle The needle was given to the child by the father-in-law Li Shi, who weaves in the south of the Yangtze River, for drug testing. When he was in Liaodong, the child used this silver needle to test for drug use, so as to prevent Jian slaves from buying secret workers to assassinate the child. Now the child honors the silver needle to the Godfather, please carefully check the medicine, food and tea taken by the emperor when serving the emperor's daily life, so as not to be poisoned by an adulterer to assassinate the emperor! Even if the child is killed by the family law, the child can still live under the nine springs. Rest in peace!"

"Monkey boy, the more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes. Who would poison the emperor?" Wei Zhongxian scolded angrily.Young Master Zhang quickly replied: "Dear Mingjian, that secret decree can not only snare the ministers of the court, but also the eunuchs and maids in the palace! I dare to judge the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and I only ask my father to think about the emperor's safety." , accept the baby's silver needle!"

Wei Zhongxian's face was livid, he gritted his teeth for a while before snatching the silver needle, kicked Young Master Zhang away, and shouted: "Drag on, give our family a hard hit!" Jin Yiwei set up Young Master Zhang again, and Young Master Zhang threw Drive them away, and stride toward the execution ground with your head held high.Seeing this scene, all the officials present were amazed in their hearts, saying that although the father and son Wei Zhongxian and Zhang Haogu are not good people, they are indeed loyal to Daming Jiangshan and the current emperor. Xin Wang, who refused to take the initiative to hand in the secret decree, was too useless and too dishonest.

Young Master Zhang was dragged out of Chengtian Gate and hit the wrench 'hardly', while Wei Zhongxian entered the Meridian Gate with a livid face, went up to the tower, and kneeled on Ming Xizong and Zhang Yan's group who were eavesdropping on the city tower. Kneeling down, the old man kowtowed with tears and said: "Your Majesty, this servant is incompetent, and there is really no way to restrain that unworthy son. This servant please ask the emperor to allow this servant to kill his relatives righteously, and kill that monkey boy Zhang Haogu, so that he will not anger the emperor again. No. The servant is incompetent, the servant is incompetent."

Hearing Wei Zhongxian's father and son's answer, Mingxi Zong Zhu Youxiao was sullen and silent. Zhang Yan, Zhu Chunchen, Zhang Weixian, Zhang Guoji and others were dejected and did not dare to speak out. But Zhu Youjian, the future Chongzhen, could not sit still and knelt down beside Wei Zhongxian. He kowtowed to Ming Xizong and said: "Brother Huang, Zhang Haogu was right to impeach. After Brother Huang's dragon body became healthy, it was indeed my fault that I didn't take the initiative to hand in the secret edict to pass on the position. This brother kowtowed to ask Brother Huang Withdraw the secret edict to appease the wrath of the ministers."

"It's easy to take back the secret edict, but it's hard to punish your crime." Ming Xizong looked at his younger brother lovingly, sighed and said, "Zhang Haogu impeached you for hiding the secret edict and refusing to hand it in, forming a party for personal gain and plotting wrongdoing. I have to punish you for your crime, otherwise the ministers in the court will still refuse to accept it. But how can I have the heart to punish you for your crime?"

In the future, Chongzhen will be speechless-it is really nothing to hand in the secret edict. As long as Ming Xizong, who is in extremely poor health, still has no son, on the day when he becomes seriously ill, Ming Xizong, who has a strong sense of family affection, will definitely have to pass on the throne to Chongzhen.However, once Ming Xizong issued a decree to punish the crime, it would be different. The court ministers would still refuse to accept the punishment, and would continue to impeach him. It would be strange if Chongzhen could make a comeback one day.Zhang Yan and Zhang Weixian and other hard-core royalists also understand this truth. They are all staring and worrying. It's useless to leak this matter. Under Song Jin and Xiao Chuan's torture, Wang Tiqian had revealed the secret edict last night. Even if Zhang Weixian didn't say it, Wei Zhongxian and Mr. Zhang would know about it a few hours later. That's all.Only Wei Zhongxian and Ke Shi, who were dejected on the surface, laughed in their hearts. For the first time, they realized that those annoying speech officials and censors were also useful, and the garbage was just a treasure that was put in the wrong place.

"Zhongxian, go and talk to Zhang Haogu." Ming Xizong gritted his teeth and said to Wei Zhongxian: "Tell him, I know he is for my own good, and he is also loyal to me. It is credible that the king is my after all. My dear brother, I can't do anything! As long as he is willing to withdraw the impeachment memorial and stop forcing me to punish the emperor's brother, then I will reward him heavily. He can just say what he wants. As long as he withdraws the memorial, don't do it again. Embarrassing my brother."

"The maidservant obeys the order." Wei Zhongxian agreed respectfully.But at this moment, Zhang Yan, who had been silent all this time, exclaimed, "It's not good, look quickly, Your Majesty, Zhang Haogu has come in again!"

The Zhu Youxiao brothers raised their heads together in surprise, only to see that Young Master Zhang, who had been stripped of his official clothes, re-entered Chengtianmen in a snow-white underwear with blood on his buttocks, and was limping towards this side. It seems that Young Master Zhang will continue to kneel in front of the Meridian Gate to wait for the echo of the impeachment of Chongzhen.Seeing this scene, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help crying out repeatedly, scolding: "Zhang Haogu, why are you so stubborn, you monkey boy? You are my baby brother after all, do you really want to force me to kill my brother?" Zhu You Jian almost fainted out of breath, and there was only one thought left in his mind - if one day I ascended the throne, I would definitely cut Zhang Haogu into pieces and burn his bones to ashes!
Someone is going to ask, didn't Young Master Zhang receive twenty court sticks?The big stick with a thick bowl was hit on the buttocks, and there were twenty times of beatings. Even if Young Master Zhang didn't die, his buttocks would at least bloom. How could he still keep walking?In fact, the reason is very simple, the executioner is Xu Xianchun, the commander of Jin Yiwei, Master Xu. If this uncle Xu, who is loyal to Nine Thousand Years, wants to kill someone, he can smash the hip bone of a person with a stick , but if he didn't want the victim to die and suffer, he would hit him with a stick like a tiger, the skin of his buttocks would be ripped apart, and the blood would flood the chrysanthemum, but in fact, the musculoskeletal and soft tissues under the skin didn't matter at all.So it is only natural that Young Master Zhang suffered from Jin Yiwei's [-] court sticks. He looked bloody and shocking, but in fact it was just a little skin trauma. After applying a little Yunnan Baiyao, he could continue to have sex with Da Yu'er--sorry, I forgot that this era is still There is no more Yunnan Baiyao.

The more exasperating thing is still behind, the hypocrite Young Master Zhang was not beaten to death by the imperial staff, but when the Qingliu officials who were kneeling outside the Meridian Gate and waiting for an answer came up to comfort him, Young Master Zhang boasted that he was cheap and good-looking, and grinned Said: "Everyone, it's nothing, the court staff is much lighter than Jiannu's knife! On the night of the fourth day of the first month, Jiannu's army attacked the city wall of Jinzhou. , that knife hurts much more than a court stick! It's nothing, I can hold on, as long as I, Zhang Haogu, have breath, I will resolutely fight against the traitors in the court to the end!"

"Good job!" The speech officials and censors present applauded one after another, and shouted scramblingly: "Master Zhang, we support you and support you in fighting against rebellious ministers and treacherous sycophants to the end. Don't stop impeachment!"

Just when the officials and censors of the Ming Dynasty who had finally seized the opportunity to regain their glory were high-spirited, Li Yongzhen, the eunuch of the Department of Rites and Supervisors, came and shouted sharply: "The emperor said: the king of Xin has voluntarily returned the money." Pass on the secret edict, you all go back first, give the punishment to King Xin, let me think about it for a few days, and then I will give you an answer. This is it."

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." With the support of Liu Ruozai and Yu Huang, young master Zhang kowtowed to lead the decree, and surrounded by a large group of high-spirited officials and censors, he limped away from the palace.On the way, Young Master Zhang began to think in his heart, "The emperor must be playing a game of slowing down the army, and he is still reluctant to deal with his younger brother. Although Chongzhen returned the secret edict to pass on the throne, he must already have quite a lot of power in his hands, and he might be able to fight with him." The old eunuch Wei fought evenly. Should I continue to drive him to a dead end? Or should I just stop here and watch the tiger fight and let Chongzhen and the old eunuch Wei fight to the death, and I will reap the benefits? No, with Chongzhen's petty mind, I After such a fuss, he must have hated me to the bone marrow in his heart. The relationship between me and him is already my death or his death. If I don’t kill him with a big killer, I will die in the future! We must fight First kill Chongzhen to gain the trust of old eunuch Wei, and when I am full-fledged, it will not be too late to get rid of old eunuch Wei with my own hands!"
