In the twelfth year of Chenghua, the war between North and South Korea was coming to an end. In order to maintain a stable situation in North Korea as soon as possible and save the Korean people from the scourge of war, the Ming army was forced to lead the army. Entered North Korea to mediate the war, but Seoul and Pyongyang became anxious and refused to listen to the Ming army's mediation.
Seeing the people struggling in the abyss of war, the orphans of the war who were crying for food, and the destroyed homes, Shi Biao couldn't bear it.
In order to return North Korea to the peaceful days before, Shi Biao finally made a decision that went against his ancestors.
Intervening with force and responding to violence with violence, the Ming army successively occupied Pyongyang, Guzhou, and Seoul, and wiped out more than 100,000 soldiers from both sides of Korea.
After the war, His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty prepared to establish a new king. However, the war caused all the Li family members to be killed, and there was really no one left to establish. In the end, hundreds of thousands of Korean nobles, common people, and craftsmen wrote a letter begging the Ming Dynasty to accept the new king. North Korea was the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and officials were set up in order to be enlightened by saints.
After this petition and Shi Biao's memorial arrived in the capital, they caused an uproar.
Yu Qian, the then chief minister of the cabinet, was unwilling to accept North Korea, but at the time when relations between the imperial court were delicate, and with Li Xian's persuasion, Yu Qian could only acquiesce.
But Zhang Huaizhi, the Ministry of War, stood up during the incident.
Pointing at the emperor's nose and reprimanding him for this move, he changed the ancestral laws and regulations.
It is also said that the foreign countries outside the Dao, such as Annam, Champa, Koryo, Siam, Ryukyu, Xiyang, Dongyang and Nanman are small countries. They are separated by mountains and seas and are isolated in a corner. The land they obtain is not enough to supply them, and the people they get are not enough to support them. make. If he does not think about himself and comes to disturb me, then he is unlucky. He is not a threat to China, and it is also unlucky for me to raise an army and attack lightly. I am afraid that future generations will rely on China's prosperity and strength, be greedy for temporary military success, and launch armies for no reason, causing harm to human lives.
In layman's terms, this is a loss-making business, a business that goes to grandma's house. If this was started, the rulers of later generations of the Ming Dynasty would all rush to follow suit and attack small isolated countries overseas. By then, the people of the Kingdom of Heaven would be Being burdened by war for generations, the emperor will also develop the habit of overjoying success.
But Zhang Huaizhi could not see that in China's five thousand years of history, wars were fought almost every year, whether it was big battles or border frictions, they were always happening, and the emergence of the Chinese nation and the vastness of the country were also It is the result of generations of Han family members fighting.
Whether it was Xu Youzhen, a representative figure in the civil service, or Chen Ying, the Marquis of Taining in the military field at that time, they all supported the adoption of North Korea and directly administered the territory for the Ming Dynasty.
In addition, His Majesty the Emperor has reached a conclusion.
No matter how reasonable it is, no one will take it seriously.
Angry and embarrassed, Zhang Huaizhi bluntly stated that he would follow the example of Ji An in the Han Dynasty and Wei Zheng in the Tang Dynasty, who killed themselves by hitting a pillar and remonstrated with the emperor to the death, in order to maintain the legal system of Korea as a country without war.
At first, Zhu Jianshen didn't believe that someone would be stupid enough to bump into a pillar, but Zhang Huaizhi really did.
This also taught Zhu Jianshen a lesson, don't use your own thinking to consider the ancients, especially those who have studied hard.
If it weren't for Chen Ying's intervention. I'm afraid that as early as the twelfth year of Chenghua, Zhang Huaizhi became the first remonstrator in the Chenghua Dynasty to die in Fengtian Hall and his name will be remembered forever. Zhu Jianshen will also be stigmatized as a person who does not listen to advice and persecutes loyal people. .
Afterwards, Zhu Jianshen also investigated Zhang Huaizhi. He found that this guy had a clean background and had never made any mistakes. He had always acted his duty, so he let him go. However, Zhu Jianshen would not put this time bomb next to him, so he let him go. He went to Ryukyu with the Ryukyu Kingdom's envoy, and was given a fifth-rank official position in the Ministry of Etiquette.
Yu Qian, who was alive at the time, had a high opinion of Zhang Huaizhi and was very optimistic about it. When Zhang Huaizhi was sent out of the capital and sent to Ryukyu, his wife and daughter at home were given special care by Yu Qian's cronies, and their monthly salary was paid on time. arrive.
In the 13th year of his Chenghua reign, Zhang Huaizhi arrived in the Ryukyu Kingdom and began his mission.
After Zhang Huaizhi went to Ryukyu, Zhu Jianshen forgot about this man. For so many years, he did not send anyone to call him back, but Xu Youzhen never forgot this man.
At this time, in front of Yu Qian's tomb, Xu Youzhen saw him again, feeling as if he was in another world.
So many years.
There were many people who scolded Xu Youzhen in the court, but Zhang Huaizhi was the only one who could use his own life to scold Xu Youzhen.
Xu Youzhen whispered a few words to Zhao Cong behind her, then took a deep look at Zhang Huaizhi, and then entered the carriage under the protection of the Jinyi Guards.
After Xu Youzhen left, the escorting soldiers and Jin Yiwei also withdrew, and the people spontaneously held a sacrificial ceremony for Qian... ŴŴŴ.BIQUGE.biz
Xu Youzhen's carriage did not go far.
His motorcade stopped at a restaurant not far from West Lake.
Xu Youzhen went to the private room on the second floor, ordered a few side dishes, a pot of tea, and drank by herself.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
"Sir, people have brought it."
"Let him in."
"Yes, sir." Zhao Cong opened the door of the private room outside, and following him was Zhang Huaizhi in official robes.
He returned from overseas and went to Ryukyu on behalf of the emperor for six years.
"The lower official Zhang Huaizhi has met the censor of Xudu..." After Zhang Huaizhi entered the room, he bowed his hands and saluted.
Xu Youzhen chuckled twice: "Mr. Zhang, don't be so polite and sit down quickly."
Zhang Huaizhi glanced at Xu Youzhen, and then thought to himself: "I have no weight in His Majesty's heart. If I go to Nanjing without help, I'm afraid I won't even be able to see His Majesty. Now that Xu Youzhen has entered the palace, if I can If you convince him, you will be more confident."
Thinking of this, Zhang Huaizhi took two steps and sat in front of Xu Youzhen.
After Zhang Huaizhi sat down, Xu Youzhen personally brought him some tea: "Master Zhang, have a cup of tea first."
"Thank you so much, Censor of Xudu." Zhang Huaizhi said, then picked up the teacup and started drinking.
At this time, Xu Youzhen also began to take a look at Zhang Huaizhi.
When he was an official in the capital, Zhang Huaizhi's appearance was not impressive, but now, although his skin was much tanned and roughened, he looked much more pleasing to the eye than when he was in the capital.
At that time, Fengtian Palace clashed with the pillars and remonstrated with His Majesty the Emperor, and Xu Youzhen also asked Xu Youzhen to secretly investigate Zhang Huaizhi.
Originally, Xu Youzhen thought that Zhang Huaizhi must have been instigated by Li Xian, Yu Qian and others, but the results of the investigation were unsatisfactory. Zhang Huaizhi was a boring person. He had no friends at all in the court and was not favored by anyone. Instruct.
He is even more boring than Liu Qingdao, who was supervising and appeasing the people in Yunnan at this time. At least when Liu Qingdao had nothing to do, he liked to write and express his emotions...
After Zhang Huaizhi finished drinking the tea, he put down the cup and looked at Xu Youzhen: "The style of Xu Du's censor is still the same as before..."
"I'm old and can't do it any more. I'll have to rely on you young people from now on." Xu Youzhen said with a smile. "Why did you return home so suddenly? Did something happen to Ryukyu, or did something happen to your family?"
Zhang Huaizhi asked: "The imperial censor of Xudu should know the reason for returning to China."
"How do I know why you want to return to China?"
Zhang Huaizhi looked at Xu Youzhen and said coldly: "The Ryukyu Kingdom has not sent envoys to Beijing to pay tribute for two years. As the Minister of Rites, haven't you noticed..."
"The Ryukyu Kingdom is isolated overseas. It is normal for it not to come to the capital for two consecutive years to worship. Previously, from the 8th year of Orthodoxy to the 12th year of Orthodoxy, the Ryukyu Kingdom did not send any envoys to the Kingdom in the past four years..."
