In front of Xuande Gate, Lu Huiqing, who was wearing legal uniform, witnessed Zhang Yue dragging Wang Zhongzheng out of the car.
Although Wang Zhongzheng was a eunuch, he was known for his bravery. During the uprising in Qingli Palace, Wang Zhongzheng shot and killed one of the rebels.
But unexpectedly, Zhang Yue forced him out of the car in front of all the officials. The officials present looked at this scene in stunned silence. When Lu Huiqing mentioned Wang Zhongzheng to Zhang Yue, firstly, he wanted to sell a favor, and secondly, he wanted to see Zhang Yue's handling methods.
Now he finally saw it. He originally thought that Zhang Yue would arrange someone to impeach Wang Zhongzheng, but he did not expect that the other party would attack him head-on.
When Zhang Yue brought up Yuan An to reprimand Zhao Tan, Lu Huiqing remembered this allusion and thought that Zhang Yue handled the matter decisively and beautifully.
Zhao Tan was also a favored eunuch of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty. When he was riding with Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty, he was accused by Yuan An in front of the emperor, and Zhao Tan was forced to get out of the car in tears.
This is on the surface, but if you are familiar with history books, you will know that there is a deeper story. Zhao Tan did not like Yuan An, and he made several slanderous remarks to slander him in front of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty.
Yuan An was very worried when he found out. Later, Yuan An's nephew Yuan Zhong told Yuan An that to deal with a villain like Zhao Tan, you must reprimand him in front of the emperor and let the emperor know that there is a feud between you. What Zhao Tan will do in the future The emperor didn't believe it.
So Zhang Yue used Yuan An's method to deal with Wang Zhongzheng, who was slandering the emperor. This kind of method to deal with the slanderous villains around the emperor cannot be done by those who have the courage and wisdom. If they can't solve the problem, they will make it bigger to protect themselves.
Wang Zhongzheng sat slumped for a long time, and everyone on the left and right deliberately pretended not to see it. Several chamberlains went to help him, but several civil servants stopped him and cursed: "Your Majesty, you are not allowed to walk around." After the Emperor's car and the ceremonial procession had passed, , just now two chamberlains helped him up and patted the dust off him.
The eunuch on the side led the horse for him and served him with a saddle and stirrups. Wang Zhongzheng glanced viciously at Zhang Yuehan, who was walking away to salute the chariot, and smiled: "Zhang Duanming, our family has learned a lesson today." After Wang Zhongzheng finished speaking, he was about to get on his horse, but Zhang Yue said: "Everyone knows, the officials Go ahead, why don't you chase after me? Why are you making all this noise?" Wang Zhongzheng was so angry that he almost didn't step on his stirrups. He was so angry that he said:
"I'd like to teach you that you won't fall into our hands in the future!" It's really stupid... Zhang Yue said: "The king knows that you should be careful about falling off the car and falling off the horse." Wang Zhongzheng thought to himself, a good man will not suffer the loss in the future. He took his revenge slowly and rode away immediately.
At this time, Zhang Yue publicly reprimanded Wang Zhongzheng, and the entire civil servants shared his hatred. Civil servants and eunuchs were two systems, naturally hostile.
However, eunuchs were more attached to the imperial power, so civil servants regarded it as a moral act to openly belittle eunuchs. The officials of the two systems gathered beside Zhang Yue, and Zeng Bu all said worriedly: "Duan Ming, this king Zhongzheng serves the emperor day and night. You must be careful that he will not be good for you in the future." Lu Huiqing smiled secretly after listening to Zeng Bu's words, Zhang Yue This was just a matter of public revenge, and Wang Zhongzheng had already gone against him.
Zhang Yue said: "If you have done it, you have done it. If you can get rid of a traitor next to Your Majesty, even if you are caught in slander and dismissed from office, so what?" Lu Huiqing sneered, okay, Zhang Yue said this. Not only did the emperor be wary of Wang Zhongzheng's attempts to slander him, but if he was dismissed from office, the civil servants would also think that Wang Zhongzheng was responsible.
At this time, Cai Que said: "Wang Zhongzheng was so domineering just now that he dared to threaten Yu Duanming. Did you all hear it?" Although there were many officials present, not many heard Wang Zhongzheng's last words when the army was in chaos just now.
Zhang Yue asked Deng Wan: "Did Zhong Cheng hear it?" Deng Wan did hear this sentence, but for fear of offending Wang Zhongzheng, he immediately distanced himself from the relationship and said: "I didn't hear it clearly just now..."
"Oh?" Zhang Yue stretched out his hand to hold Deng Wan's arm. Deng Wan had just visited Zhang Yue a few days ago and was very condescending.
The person he only begged for a few days ago is now turned away and refuses to recognize him. This is too much of a change. At this moment, when Deng Wan saw Zhang Yue, her eyes could not help but tremble in her heart.
But Deng Wan has long regarded human feelings as nothing, and his way as an official is to be wise and protect himself: "... If there is really what Cai Yushi said, it is better to verify it... But I think maybe Wang Zhongzheng said it out of anger?"
"Angry words? How can there be such a thing as angry words in the officialdom?" Cai Que asked Deng Wan as if he was trying to express his displeasure. Zeng Bu also helped: "Zhongcheng, you should think twice before speaking."
"Has Zhongcheng heard what Wang Zhongzheng said?" Other officials also spoke out one after another. When Deng Wan heard this, he glanced at Lu Huiqing as if asking for help. Lu Huiqing didn't hear clearly what Wang Zhongzheng said just now, but he also knew that Zhang Yue was using his power to force Deng Wan to the point where he could not get off the tiger.
Cai Que and Zeng Bu both stood clearly beside Zhang Yue. As for the prime ministers on the side, they watched all this silently, without saying a word, as if they were letting Zhang Yue and the others do what they wanted to do, and their expressions remained ambiguously neutral.
Han Jiang and Wu Chong were silent, and Lu Huiqing also pretended not to notice and ignored Deng Wan's look for help.
Deng Wan saw that Lu Huiqing didn't give him any hint, so he insisted that he didn't hear it. All the officials were extremely angry. As a dignified censor, Deng Wan dared to tell lies.
Cai Que said loudly: "How domineering Wang Zhongzheng is, do you know today? Not only did he threaten the bachelors of the palace, but even the censor Zhongcheng pretended to be deaf and dumb. Is it possible that the exclusive power of eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty will happen again?" Cai Que said loudly: It is true that all the officials also thought this way unanimously. In the Tang Dynasty, eunuchs killed ministers like grass, and the emperor also changed them at the request. This is a lesson learned from the past.
Lu Huiqing suddenly realized that Zhang Yue did not expect Deng Wan to take charge of the matter at all, but wanted to make the matter bigger, and the bigger the matter was, the more beneficial it would be to him.
Looking at Cai Que, who was blushing and questioning Deng Wan, and Zhang Yue, who was standing silently aside, he nodded slightly. The two of them were standing together.
When Liu Xiang first learned about Kaifeng Mansion, Cai Que openly embarrassed him in court and forced him to resign from his post of knowing Kaifeng Mansion. This is really the same as the method used to deal with Wang Zhongzheng today.
Lu Huiqing looked at Zhang Yue and Cai Que, two fellow countrymen. It was really scary for these two to join forces. He once again made up his mind not to embarrass Zhang Yue if he was not 100% sure.
Fortunately, he pushed out Wang Zhongzheng to block the knife for himself. ...After the grand ceremony in the southern suburbs, Wang Zhongzheng felt that every civil servant who met him gave him a first-class unkind look.
There was even a young official who not only did not salute him when he passed by, but also spat on the ground after passing by.
Wang Zhongzheng was furious. As the deputy deputy, he knew that several of his ministers were polite and respectful to him. How could even a junior minister dare to be rude to him now?
It was all because of Rizhang Yue's insult to himself. Wang Zhongzheng came to the official's side, lowered his head and sat down respectfully.
The official was correcting Zha Zi and said to him: "There is a lot of talk about you in the outer court these days, so you don't have to be aggrieved. If you work for me, it is inevitable that the civil servants will gossip." Wang Zhongzheng shed tears with gratitude and said: "Your Majesty clearly understands... I'm not afraid of discussion, I just want His Majesty to be happy." The official sighed: "I understand, but I am the emperor, so I have to act like I accept advice. Now the outside world says that when you are around me, you will make slanderous remarks and murder the ministers. The following is The other civil servants are uneasy, fearing that they will not be willing to use it sincerely."
"Why don't you go to Shaanxi to exchange for Li Xian?"
"Your Majesty..." Wang Zhongzheng collapsed on the ground after hearing this.
