Chapter 141 The Big Killer

(PS: The second update will be delivered. Ask for a monthly pass.)
Compared with Young Master Zhang's impeachment of the future Chongzhen Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian's impeachment of Young Master Zhang is undoubtedly much more luxurious. In the lineup of Young Master Zhang, the highest rank is Young Master Zhang, the fourth rank, and the others are ranked as sixth rank and sixth rank. There are many official positions below the first rank, and many of them are from the seventh rank and eighth rank sesame officials. Sir Huo Weihua, Minister of the Ministry of War and Secretary of the Taipusi, the commander of the army is the Prince Taibao, the University of Wuyingdian and the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Feng Quanfeng, and there are a lot of other princes and officials, and the thugs are Their disciples have higher official positions than Young Master Zhang's lackeys.In addition, Zhu Youjian also has a large number of reserve teams, that is, the vassal kings surnamed Zhu from all over the Ming Dynasty. Most of these vassals hate Wei Zhongxian's party. If necessary, Zhu Youjian Jian asked for help under the banner of his brothers in battle, and it is estimated that most of the vassal princes surnamed Zhu would still be happy to help.

Judging from the lineup, Zhu Youjian's team is far superior to Young Master Zhang's team in terms of quantity and quality. There are good reasons, every word and every sentence is loud and clear, occupying the highest point of morality.The officials of Zhu Youjian's party are guilty one by one, and the charges of impeaching Young Master Zhang are weaker and weaker than each other. In addition to Huo Weihua's impeachment of Young Master Zhang in Shengjing for killing good people and taking meritorious deeds, Feng Quan also impeached Zhang Da The young master is treacherous and deceitful, and deceiving the world and stealing his name are more reliable. The other officials are better off digging through the old accounts. Those who are not loyal are basically impeaching Young Master Zhang for spitting on the ground and improper walking posture when entering the palace. up.What's even more outrageous is that these people sent the impeachment memorial to the cabinet, and then rushed to Wei Zhongxian's house to express their feelings, saying that they were threatened or instigated by so-and-so. Young Master Zhang, who was impeached in order to gain the trust of King Xin, in order to infiltrate the enemy's camp incognito and endure humiliation, inquire about the enemy's movement, and immediately return to the way whenever he has a chance, and return to the warm and broad embrace of Nine Thousand Years Old.Wei Zhongxian smiled and said nothing, just kept a score in his heart and waited for the future to settle the score.

Young Master Zhang and Zhu Youjian each led their own party members and lackeys to attack each other and fight with each other. If this situation were changed to other emperors, it would definitely be a headache. Loyal and loyal ministers, brothers are flesh and blood, ministers are for the sake of their own country, the palms of their hands are full of flesh, it is not good to favor anyone - of course, Ming Xizong's ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang is definitely an exception, this master must be cut first Brothers play slowly, not letting any one go.But Zhu Youxiao was very happy when he saw this situation, "Okay, both sides are wrong this time, let them quarrel first, and then I will make peace, and let them both be quiet."

Ming Xizong's calculations were good, but unfortunately, the development of the situation was far beyond his expectations. With the full launch of Chongzhen's counterattack, Young Master Zhang himself calmed down first, and stopped criticizing Zhu Youjian for using secret edicts to plot mischief every day. Most of the officials of the Zhang Party gradually quieted down, and in the end, only the two brothers Liu Ruozai, Yu Huang and Xu Er of Young Master Zhang were left. [-]. The assassins like Lu Chengyuan are fighting alone there.However, Zhu Youjian's party became more and more courageous in the Vietnam War, and some people even began to question the merits of Master Zhang's victory in Liaodong, and asked Ning Qiandao to re-examine the process of Master Zhang's victory in Jinzhou.Seeing this situation, the upright officials who were more inclined towards Young Master Zhang visited Prime Minister Wen’s alley one after another, intending to link up with Young Master Zhang and launch a counterattack, but it’s a pity that Young Master Zhang disappeared, and all these kind-hearted officials were shut down. Song Xiance and Lu Wanling wrote their defenses on the impeachment memorial transferred by the cabinet, calling for their own grievances, and basically did nothing else.

Zhang Weixian and Zhang Yan and the others, who show their weakness like this, know that the situation is not good, and they understand that there must be a thunderbolt brewing behind Young Master Zhang's deliberate retreat, and they all persuade Chongzhen to stop and think quickly Find a way to reverse the relationship with Young Master Zhang and strive for a peaceful resolution of the matter.It's a pity that Chongzhen's self-willed character and temper in the future are now fully revealed in Zhu Youjian. Seeing that Young Master Zhang backed down, not only did he not consider the consequences, but he even further demanded that the officials on the list in his hands increase the intensity of impeachment, and Young Master Zhang must be put to death!But what Chongzhen never dreamed of in the future was that Young Master Zhang's counterattack would be so violent and vicious...

The incident happened on April 27th of the lunar calendar in the sixth year of the Great Ming Dynasty. At noon that day, Zhu Youjian entered the Forbidden City happily, and held a memorial to Ming Xizong in front of Ming Xizong with both hands, saying: " Brother Huang, this is a memorial sent by our uncle King Zhu Shouyong of Lu. He impeached Zhang Haogu for being a prostitute in Liaocheng when he was an imperial envoy to Shandong, which damaged the court’s face. antiquity."

It was beyond Zhu Youjian's expectation. After hearing his words, Zhu Youxiao, the usually kind elder brother, not only did not furiously scold Young Master Zhang, but instead stretched his face and shouted: "Your brother, Zhu Shouyong and Zhang Haogu have What festival, don’t you know, are his words worthy of trust? Also, why didn’t King Lu’s impeachment memorial go to the cabinet, but ran into your hands?” Speaking of this, Ming Xizong looked around and saw Wei Zhongxian Just when he was not there, he lowered his voice, reprimanded with half blame and half concern: "Do you know that if the court officials know about your correspondence with the local vassal king, it will definitely cause another disturbance. How can the emperor protect you?"

"Oops, how did I forget this?" Zhu Youjian broke out in a cold sweat, scolding himself for being complacent, getting carried away with Zhang Haogu's criminal evidence, and completely forgetting the consequences of his correspondence with the local vassal king .Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty sighed, and said again: "Imperial brother, I think it's time to settle the matter between you and Zhang Haogu, right? Zhang Haogu dragged a large group of officials to impeach you back then. He's wrong, but these days you led a group of people to impeach him in turn. Apart from writing a defense to prove his innocence, he didn't make a memorial to impeach you. It seems that he also knew that he was wrong. Otherwise, I will be here today Announce him into the palace, let him sit with you and have a meal, and I will make peace with your sister-in-law, so that your grievances and grievances will be wiped out, and the well water will not violate the river water in the future? He is not allowed to hold you for the fault of hiding the secret edict again. Let it go, you are not allowed to drag others into trouble with him anymore!"

"Alright, anyway, I won't be able to find a good reason to kill that little dog for a while, so let's stabilize him for the time being, and it won't be too late to find a chance to get rid of him later." Zhu Youjian thought, nodding Said: "Okay, all the ministers are under the arrangement of the emperor's brother."

"That's right, a man needs to be broad-minded. After this matter is over, I and your sister-in-law will personally choose a good princess for you!" Ming Xizong was overjoyed. However, the eunuch rushed into the Qianqing Palace first, and before he knelt down to Ming Xizong, he shouted: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, something is wrong! Master Zhang, Master Zhang..."

"Dog servant girl, please be clear, what's wrong? What happened to Mr. Zhang?" Ming Xizong shouted impatiently.The little eunuch wiped off the sweat from his face, and replied with a mournful face: "Your Majesty, my servant, Mr. Zhang Haogu, took the memorial to impeach the king and asked someone to carry a coffin. He knelt down to the gate of the Taimiao and paid respects to the emperors of the Ming Dynasty." Impeach the Xinwang!"

"What?" Ming Xizong, who had recovered a lot after being diagnosed and treated by Western medicine, jumped up as if his butt was on fire, and shouted: "Zhang Haogu carried the coffin and went to the Taimiao to impeach the king of Xin to the ancestors and ancestors? Did you make a mistake? Where is Zhongxian, where is he? Go and call him, his godson is becoming more and more disrespectful, and he is remonstrating to death and going to the imperial temple, what the hell is he trying to do?!"

"It's over, the little dog is killing his life!" Zhu Youjian's head was dizzy, and he knew that Zhang Haogu was here to kill himself today, and carried the coffin to the Taimiao to impeach the royal family to the fourteenth emperor of Ming Dynasty—this is Hai Rui and Yang Jisheng. The pervert never did anything!Today is either Zhang Haogu's death or his own death, there is absolutely no room for turning around!Shocked, Zhu Youjian had a faint fear in his heart. With Zhang Haogu's impeccable personality, if he dared to do this today, he must be sure of victory, but how sure was he?
Wei Zhongxian was actually in the palace, and was personally supervising the Western doctor dispensing medicine for Ming Xizong. Hearing the news from the little eunuch, Wei Zhongxian was going crazy like the Ming Xizong brothers. I couldn't believe that Young Master Zhang would do such a thing. ——Actually, for some reason, our young master Zhang couldn't tell Wei Zhongxian about his plan beforehand.So after hearing the news, Wei Zhongxian, who was worried that his son would not be able to defeat the king of Xin, but would suffer for himself, complained incessantly, and then hurriedly called Shang Ke to help him, and accompanied the Ming Xizong brothers to the Taimiao to check the situation. Shocked, Zhang Yan also rushed over, and rushed to the Taimiao together with Ming Xizong and others.

When I went to the Taimiao on the right side outside the Chengtian Gate, I saw that there was already a sea of ​​people outside the Taimiao. Countless soldiers, civilians and civil and military officials from the capital rushed to the scene to watch the excitement. The chief and deputy commanders of Jinyiwei Tian Ergeng and Cui Yingyuan personally led thousands of Jinyiwei Maintain order and prevent officials and people from approaching the Taimiao.And under the steps of the front door of the Taimiao, Young Master Zhang was wearing a fourth-rank official robe, holding a memorial in his hand, kneeling beside a black lacquered coffin, and bowing to the main hall of the Taimiao—fortunately, no officials dared to risk their lives with Young Master Zhang this time So, Young Master Zhang knelt beside the coffin alone.Seeing this scene, one of Ming Xizong and Wei Zhongxian's master and servant was trembling with anger, and the other was stunned with shock, and then deeply moved-after all, the godson did this to bring down his troublesome political opponent.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Amidst the kneeling cries of landslides and tsunami, Ming Xizong walked through the crowd with a livid face, and led Wei Zhongxian's group to Young Master Zhang.Seeing Young Master Zhang kneeling beside the coffin respectfully, Ming Xizong suddenly became angry, and shouted to Young Master Zhang: "Zhang Haogu, what are you doing? Carrying the coffin to the late emperor to admonish him, selling straight to invite loyalty, Could it be that I am the kind of innocent and foolish king who does not listen to harsh advice? If you have any grievances or words, can’t you directly advise me? Why do you do this? Where do you put me? Do you really think I can’t bear it? Kill you, the hero?"

"Your majesty, you are not a foolish emperor!" The best actor of Ming Dynasty, Young Master Zhang, burst into tears, and said with a choked voice: "Your majesty, you are a benevolent emperor, and you are also a wise emperor who was temporarily deceived by treacherous ministers! I am doing this today in the hope that your majesty will be able to do so." Wake up, I hope that the spirits of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty will protect my Ming Dynasty for thousands of years, and destroy my court's treacherous ministers!"

"Who are the treacherous officials you are talking about?" Ming Xizong's tone slowed down a bit when he heard Young Master Zhang's veiled flattery.Young Master Zhang unceremoniously pointed at the future Chongzhen, and shouted: "Your Majesty, he is the treacherous minister that my humble official said!"

"Brother Huang, you are wronged." Zhu Youjian was so frightened that he knelt down on Ming Xizong's knees and shouted loudly: "Brother Huang, Zhang Haogu is slandering my younger brother without evidence. Brother Mingjian——!"

"Whether the humble minister wronged the king, the emperor will understand by looking at the reconnaissance records of these East Factory spies." Young master Zhang took out a thick document from his arms, held it in front of Ming Xizong with both hands, and said loudly: "Your majesty, In the past five days, King Xin has secretly communicated with several court officials many times, and also communicated with local vassal kings. The time, place and people present were all recorded by Dongchang secret agents, please the emperor to investigate clearly. "

"Oops, I've been fooled! This little dog has deliberately shown weakness these days, just to lure me out, so that he can catch me." Zhu Youjian's face changed drastically, and he groaned in his heart.Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty had a hesitant expression on his face, and he didn't dare to touch the stack of records, so he could only lower his voice and say: "Zhang Haogu, I know that King Xin did something wrong, and I also know that he violated the family law of his ancestors in some ways, but He is my own brother from beginning to end, and I really can't bear to punish him. For my sake, let him go, please? Take these things back first, and follow me back to the palace. If you have anything to discuss, don't do this , it's not good for me or for you."

"Your Majesty, this humble minister is thinking about your country for thousands of years." Young Master Zhang kowtowed, refusing to accept Ming Xizong's kindness.Ming Xizong had no choice but to wink at Wei Zhongxian next to him, signaling Wei Zhongxian to come up to advise Young Master Zhang, Wei Zhongxian understood, and hurried up to Young Master Zhang and said: "My dear son, get up, our family knows that you are good at both loyalty and filial piety." Boy, everything you do is for the emperor and our family, but you have done too much today, making it impossible for the emperor to step off the stage, get up, and we will talk in the palace if you have anything to say." As he said, Wei Zhongxian winked at Young Master Zhang , Instructing Young Master Zhang to stop, don't get involved in trying to bring down King Xin, Wei Zhongxian will not be able to protect Young Master Zhang at that time.

"Father, there are some things that my son can't say for the sake of the emperor's face, but if the emperor doesn't pay attention to trusting the king today, my son will never get up." Young Master Zhang replied with a stiff neck.Wei Zhongxian was taken aback, he really didn't know what idea Yigan's son had in his stomach.At this time, Queen Zhang Yan also came up, and said to Young Master Zhang with a gloomy face: "Zhang Haogu, don't go too far, even if there is something wrong with King Xin, you don't deserve to die! You really want to force the emperor to kill you!" If you lose King Xin, then the person who will die in the end will only be yourself!"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, you are too impulsive to do this. How can you call the emperor?" Zhang Weixian, Zhu Chunchen and others who came over after hearing the news also came to persuade, and Zhu Chunchen also shouted with puns: "Zhang Haogu, don't you stay here?" Selling straight to get loyalty here, you tell me honestly, who ordered you to do this?"

"Cheng Guogong, what do you mean?" Wei Zhongxian was not happy, pointing to the Taimiao and said: "Zhang Haogu is my own son, you mean I ordered him to do this? The ancestors of the Ming Dynasty are here Here, if I instruct Zhang Haogu to say a single word, I will die!"

"Eunuch Wei, I didn't say it was you, why are you so eager to argue?" Zhu Chunchen confronted.Seeing that Wei Zhongxian and Zhu Chunchen were about to quarrel in public, Young Master Zhang suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "Mr. Cheng, you are right. Someone instructed me to do this, but the person who instructed me was not Mr. Wei. People and your ancestors still know each other!"

"Acquainted with my ancestors?" Zhu Chunchen laughed and asked: "Zhang Haogu, tell me, who ordered you to do this?" Gu, tell me, who ordered you to do this?"

"Your Majesty, before you say this person's name, I ask the Emperor to agree to two things." Young Master Zhang said slowly: "After I say his name, the Emperor may not believe it, but please ask the Emperor to let me tell you his name." After the words are finished, the emperor doesn't have to believe what he said, but please verify whether the words are true before dealing with the minister. Even if the emperor cuts the minister to pieces, the minister will never frown! "

"Okay, I promise you." Ming Xizong waved his hand angrily.Young Master Zhang cleared his throat, and said slowly: "The person who instigated the humble minister is the Great Ming Chengzu—Emperor Yongle!"

"What?" Everyone, including Wei Zhongxian and Zhu Youjian, exclaimed dumbfounded.Ming Xizong was so angry that he almost slapped young master Zhang, and shouted: "Zhang Haogu, are you crazy? Cheng Zuhuang has passed away for more than 200 years, how could he order you to do this?"

"Your Majesty may not believe it, but this minister is absolutely dreaming of meeting Emperor Chengzu." Young Master Zhang said loudly, "Ming Chengzu told this minister in his dream that our Ming Dynasty is in danger, and the traitor is in power. Zhu Youjian, the treacherous king who usurped the throne, will surely ruin the Ming Dynasty. The humble minister knelt down to the Ming Dynasty Chengzu, and the humble minister had also noticed that Xinwang was trying to usurp the throne, and impeached the emperor, but the emperor refused to deal with Xin because of the brotherhood King, there is nothing you can do! Ming Chengzu told Wei Chen that he said that Wei Chen was the reincarnation of a star in the sky, and that he was a minister who was bestowed on the emperor by heaven to protect you. Carrying the coffin to die, let the emperor wake up, and bless my Ming Dynasty for thousands of years!"

"Ah—!" Including Wei Zhongxian, everyone present was stunned by Young Master Zhang's foolishness, and they couldn't decide whether it was true or not.Only Zhu Youjian screamed like killing a pig, "Brother Huang, you must not believe Zhang Haogu's nonsense! The Great Ming Chengzu entrusted him with a dream? The Taizu entrusted a dream to his younger brother last night, saying that Zhang Haogu is a genius He is the most treacherous and loyal courtier of Ming Dynasty!"

"Zhang Haogu, what proof do you have for your words?" Ming Xizong also asked doubtfully: "You said that Ming Chengzu entrusted you with a dream, so why didn't Cheng Zuhuang entrust me with a dream, it is more convenient and direct?"

"My minister also asked Daming Chengzu the same way." Young Master Zhang replied in a deep voice, "Daming Chengzu said that King Xin ordered his henchman Huo Weihua to offer the emperor a kind of evil medicine of fairy dew, which destroyed part of your innate qi, your majesty. So I can't enter your dream, Your Majesty. Among all the officials in the court, except for Eunuch Wei who worked hard for your dragon body for days, the few ministers are the most loyal to you, Your Majesty. To be crushed to pieces is not hesitating, so Da Ming Chengzu entrusted his dream to this humble minister!"

"Nonsense! Fart! Brother Huang, you must not listen to Zhang Haogu's one-sidedness." Zhu Youjian yelled angrily.Young Master Zhang took a peek at the faces of Ming Xizong and others, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty also knew what the minister said. It is hard for you to believe it, and it is also hard for the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty to believe it! So Emperor Chengzu gave the minister sixteen The true words, after listening to the emperor, you will know that every word and every sentence of this humble minister is not half false!"

"Come here." Ming Xizong said doubtfully.Young Master Zhang read aloud: "Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty told my ministers that the treacherous king will not be destroyed, and the country will be in great danger. Within ten days, the capital will be destroyed!"

"The treacherous king will not be destroyed, and the country will be in great trouble. Within ten days, the capital will be destroyed!" Ming Xizong and others repeated the sixteen-character mantra of Zhu Yongle, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, in amazement. Zhang Yan said suspiciously: "What does this mean?" , Within ten days, there will be major changes in the capital? Many people will die?"

"That's right." Young Master Zhang kowtowed and said, "The ancestor emperor of Ming Cheng told the humble minister that because the emperor knew that the king was plotting to usurp the throne, but he cared about the brotherhood and family relationship and refused to take it seriously, so that in the future, the country will change color and the world will flow into rivers of blood. Disasters will strike within ten days, and warn the emperor. If after ten days, the capital is in great trouble, and you don’t treat King Xin seriously, then..." Speaking of this, Young Master Zhang kowtowed heavily, and calmly said: "Your Majesty , I have finished my words, please punish the emperor."

"Within ten days, the capital will be untouched?" Ming Xizong calculated with a gloomy face, "Today is April 27, and the tenth day is the sixth day of May. By then, will there really be a disaster brought about by the police? If so It’s easy to deal with fake ones, Zhang Haogu’s accusation of deceiving people with false rumors will be confirmed, but if it’s true..."
