This is the first official who has truly given a fatal remonstrance since Zhu Jianshen came to the court.
The soldiers outside the palace gate hurried in at Zhang Bao's call. Accompanied by two of Zhang Huaizhi's friends, they carried Zhang Huaizhi down, who was still alive and stained with blood.
Zhu Jianshen was very angry.
This is to rely on death to perfect one's reputation.
"I have made up my mind, let alone one person who died in Fengtian Palace, no matter how many people there are, I will comply with Liao Pingbo's request and withdraw from the court..." After saying this, Zhu Jianshen waved his sleeves and left.
The officials could only kneel down to see Zhu Jianshen off.
After Zhu Jianshen left, the officials stood up and looked at the blood stains under the pillars. Most of them were in a state of confusion. Li Xian, who was standing next to Yu Qian, whispered: "Oh, pedantic, pedantic..."
Yu Qian turned around and said, "Don't you think he has a spirit that many scholars don't have? Is he a good public speaker?"
"He is a good public official, but not a good minister. His Majesty has worked hard for so many years, but he bumped his head and left your Majesty how to deal with it." Xu Youzhen said with a cold snort.
Yu Qian glanced at Xu Youzhen without saying anything, turned around and walked outside.
"Li Fuchen, what does Yu Taibao mean by this? Could it be that this Huaizhi was secretly ordered by Yu Taibao." Xu Youzhen looked at Yu Qian's back and said coldly.
"Xu Youzhen, there are some things you can say, and some things you can't say nonsense. Yu Taibao has given up his own views on North Korea, so how can he still use these methods? Huh, he is not a person who will use any means to achieve his goals like you. Ah." Li Xian said softly.
After finishing speaking, Li Xian also walked outside.
Xu Youzhen looked at Li Xian's back and snorted coldly: "Speaking of me, aren't you also a person who will do whatever it takes to achieve your goals? Humph, you really have no self-awareness."
But Zhu Jianshen, who returned to Qianqing Palace at this time, was caught in a brainstorm. Just like Xu Youzhen, his first thought was whether someone was secretly supporting him.
But thinking about it more carefully, it is impossible for Shi Biao's memorial to be revealed. Even if someone is dissatisfied with it and wants to plan it secretly, they don't have time to do it.
This should be Zhang Huaizhi's personal behavior.
Zhu Jianshen sat on the throne without saying a word. Zhang Bao on the side was also a little scared. Fortunately, Zhang Huaizhi still had some respect for the monarch and chose to hit the pillar. If he hit the jade steps at His Majesty's feet, I hit my head and was bleeding, and my brain was splattered, so that's okay.
"Go and send someone to ask how Zhang Huaizhi is doing, who has been remonstrating against you today."
"Yes, Your Majesty." After Zhang Bao finished speaking, he quickly arranged for someone to go down and inquire.
Half an hour later, Zhang Bao returned to Qianqing Palace.
At this time, Zhu Jianshen had adjusted his mood and started reading The Analects of Confucius again...
In fact, at this time, Zhu Jianshen was studying what kind of words of saints and teachings of classics could cultivate corrupt Confucianism.
After seeing Zhang Bao come in, Zhu Jianshen didn't even lift his scalp.
"Your Majesty, no one is dead."
Zhu Jianshen nodded and said nothing.
"Your Majesty, would you like me to send someone to give him a lift?"
After Zhu Jianshen heard Zhang Bao's words, he raised his head and said, "No need, I'm just a pedantic minister. His crime will not lead to death."
"Your Majesty has mercy."
"By the way, a few days ago, didn't Xiaoliuqiu send envoys to the court? You went to deliver the decree. What is this..."
"Zhang Huaizhi, Your Majesty."
"Yes, this Zhang Huaizhi was transferred to the Ministry of Etiquette, and asked that Minister Zhan to arrange for him to go to Ryukyu as an envoy to return a visit, and go there with the Ryukyu people..."
After listening to Zhu Jianshen's words, Zhang Bao was stunned for a moment: "Your Majesty, I am sure you want him to go to Ryukyu."
Zhu Jianshen looked at Zhang Bao and said coldly: "Do I have time to joke with you?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take care of it immediately." Zhang Bao responded quickly. Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was no longer angry, he was still angry in his heart. This time he was sent to Ryukyu as an envoy, and he had to follow others. He did not have the card of being an envoy. It's a different kind of insult.
Zhu Jianshen is certainly not a good person. This is a warning to him. Even if he returns to Beijing and resumes his post in a year or two, he will still be demoted.
As for killing him, Zhu Jianshen really didn't dare.
His grandson behaved like that and wanted to be a king's father and a Taoist king. He was disgusted by Hai Rui. In Jiajing Jiajing, every family in Jiajing was clean and could just point at his nose and scold him. He didn't dare to actually kill Hai Rui. After he died, he left a special decree to spare Hai Rui's life and get a promotion.
As a smart man, no one at the center of the cabinet spoke, and the six ministers did not object. Then His Majesty the Emperor asked the generals. From this, it can be seen that the top civil servants have silently agreed, and this is already a done deal. , Although Yan Guan is a remonstrator, he cannot ignore the actual situation and oppose for the sake of opposition.
Of course, everyone's perspective is different, and the results of looking at the problem are also different.
Zhu Jianshen was a time traveler and knew what North Korea meant to the Han people, but these officials did not.
Zhu Jianshen also knew that if he hadn't used the excuse of the vassal theory to move Yu Qian, I am afraid that Yu Qian would be among the people who opposed it today.
This is also something that can't be helped.
In a rather simple house in the capital.
Zhang Huaizhi was lying on the bed with a thick white cloth wrapped around his head.
A four or five-year-old girl was lying next to the bed, her big eyes full of nervousness. She couldn't figure it out. Her father had gone to court well, so why was he sent back like this? Was there going to be a fight at court? ?
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Huaizhi paused for a moment, coughed lightly, touched the wound on his head, and grinned in pain. He knew that if Tai Ninghou hadn't pulled him, he would have died.
"Dad is trying to persuade His Majesty to hit his head against a pillar."
"Did everyone else hit it?"
"No."
"Dad was the only one who got hit."
"Then if no one else hits him, why should dad hit me?"
"Because there are many things in this world that are more important than life, and some things need to be organized with life."
"Dad, did you stop it?"
"No."
"Then this collision is not in vain."
Children's words are unbridled, but in Zhang Huaizhi's ears, it was very unpleasant.
As an official in Beijing, you are very close to the emperor. Even if you are an official, you still adhere to the concept of not daring to speak loudly for fear of frightening the heavens.
In Zhang Huaizhi's view, this is already wrong.
He could pretend that he couldn't see other things, but the return of North Korea to the Ming Dynasty was proof that His Majesty was going to launch a large-scale military campaign. Shi Heng was also preparing in Yunnan.
Conquering North Korea is the first step, the second step is to attack Annan, and the third step is to send troops to Mongolia and build a city in Mongolia. The emperor wants to be Emperor Wu and wants to be on par with the Supreme Emperor. That's okay.
In Zhang Huaizhi's view, this was of no benefit to the Ming Dynasty. In his heart, what he saved was not North Korea at all, but the people of the Ming Dynasty who were still struggling for food and clothing.
At this time, Zhang Huaizhi's wife Zhao walked in with a bowl of medicinal soup.
Looking at Zhang Huaizhi lying on the bed, Ms. Zhao felt heartbroken. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she must have cried a long time ago.
"Yan'er, go out and play, don't disturb your father."
The little girl nodded obediently and ran out of the room.
Mrs. Zhao sat by the bed and fed Zhang Huaizhi medicine without saying a word.
While he was drinking the medicine, the little girl ran in again in a panic: "Dad, mother, there are many people coming outside, and their carriages are much more impressive than Daddy's donkey carriage."
After hearing what the little girl said, Ms. Zhao stood up suddenly.
Is this here to claim your life?
"Yan'er, come here." Zhang Huaizhi waved his hand towards the little girl, and the little girl obediently walked to the bed.
"Dad is going somewhere. You follow your mother back to your hometown and you have to listen to her. Do you understand?"
"Where are you going, daddy?" the little girl said softly.
"Go where you should go." Zhang Huaizhi said with a smile.
"Where is the right place to go?"
At this time, Mrs. Zhao could no longer control her tears. She stood up, put the soup in her hand on the table, and then kept her back on her back, not wanting the little girl to see her crying. biquge.biz
When Zhang Huaizhi was about to continue speaking, Zhang Bao, holding the imperial edict, had already arrived in the main room with several royal guards.
"Master Zhang, your Majesty has an edict. Your Majesty has said that Mr. Zhang is serving the country as an advocate and is seriously injured. Just lie down and listen to the edict. Don't let Your Majesty get another charge of being inconsiderate to his ministers."
"Thank you, Your Majesty. However, I can get up."
At this time, Ms. Zhao had already wiped away her tears. When she got to the bed, she helped Zhang Huaizhi up. After getting out of bed, Zhang Huaizhi knelt on the ground and obeyed the order.
The little girl also knelt down under the guidance of her mother.
Looking at the family of three kneeling on the ground, Zhang Bao sighed, and then began to read out the imperial edict.
"The emperor was entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and the edict was given to Zhang Huaizhi. He had the world in mind and had the courage to remonstrate to death. He was a model for the court and an example for officials. However, Zhang Qing is a mortal body. There are many things in the world, and he always hits the pillars. , will always die, I feel pity for Zhang Qing's head as an official, and I pity the innocent pillar of Fengtian Palace. I specially transferred him to the Ministry of Rites and Ceremony, seizing the right to report to the court. Ryukyu envoys came to the court, and Zhang Qing was granted permission. On the day when the injury is healed, I will go to Ryukyu with the Ryukyu envoys to show the majesty of the heavenly kingdom. I admire this..."
"I accept the order..." As he said this, Zhang Huaizhi raised his hands high.
After Zhang Bao placed the imperial edict in Zhang Huaizhi's hands, he said softly: "The envoy from Ryukyu is waiting for Mr. Zhang. Please take good care of your injuries. Your Majesty said that the cost of your treatment will be paid by the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites. This is considered to be your fulfillment." This sincere heart to serve the country.”
"Many, thank you Your Majesty."
"I would like to ask Eunuch Zhang how the North Korea issue was decided."
Hearing this, Zhang Bao smiled coldly: "Master Zhang, many things in this world cannot be achieved by one's own efforts. You must be self-aware."
After saying this, Zhang Bao turned around and left, while Zhang Huaizhi closed his eyes after listening to these words. Maybe he felt how little power a person has under the torrent of history.
Unlike Zhang Huaizhi, Zhao was already crying with joy at this time...
The little girl next to her kept looking at her mother, wondering why she was crying...
