MTL - Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao-Chapter 27 Angrily reprimanded the first assistant, and hanged himself, and had no family property!
Chapter 27 Angrily rebukes the chief assistant, hangs himself, and has no family property!
Zhang Gui brought a team of servants under Man Gui's command to Tianqi, and ordered: "Guard Your Majesty, if anyone threatens Your Majesty, kill him first!"
These servants were all soldiers who had killed the Tartars with Man Gui. They were full of murderous looks at first glance, and they were as strong as a tower, and they were well-trained. After Zhang Gui said this, they consciously stood around Tianqi, and one of them A corporal stood directly in front of Tianqi, acting as Tianqi's meat shield, and looked around with eyes, as if they could be spotted in time if there was any trouble.
However, in fact, no one around Tianqi dared to kill the king at this time.
Luo Sigong himself did not dare.
The rich and powerful bureaucrats will be cruel and brutal in front of the common people, but in front of people of the same class, they will have a cowardly side, they will pay attention to affection, and they dare not put all their eggs in one basket.
Luo Sigong was the same, he dared to dissuade the emperor not to kill civil servants making trouble outside, but he never dared to kill the king, at least he did not dare to kill the king openly.
After all, the Confucian rule is to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, and he dare not betray this rule on the face of it.
The civil servants, eunuchs, and guards present were naturally the same. Even if they were dissatisfied with Tianqi, they did not dare to openly commit inappropriate things against Tianqi, and let themselves be charged with regicide.
The reason why Zhang Gui did this was actually just in case.
After all, the greatest certainty of human nature is uncertainty, and there is no guarantee that there will be no lunatics.
At this time, the scene on the wall of Xiyuan Palace can be said to be extremely peaceful, with a gentle breeze and soothing clouds.
Outside the palace walls, chaotic killings were taking place.
Zhang Gui stood next to Tianqi, watching Man Gui and his servants, killing these troublemakers like melons and vegetables.
During the incident, after Hui Shiyang fell to the ground, he twitched a few times and then became silent.
When Guo Gong saw this scene, he didn't know what to do. He even subconsciously wanted to reprimand these soldiers in fat jackets, because he used to make these soldiers kneel when he was patrolling the border. of.
But when a goose feather knife pierced his abdomen, he realized that the soldiers in front of him were here to kill him, not to kneel down for him.
The identity I gave to the matter seems to be useless.
During the incident, Feng Sanyuan was also frightened and at a loss, shaking his teeth, and suddenly stretched out his hand to cover his eyes.
He never thought that this scene would happen.
"ah!"
Feng Sanyuan screamed, let go of his hand, and saw a **** sharp knife pierced from his back to his front.
Wei Yingjia reacted quickly to the matter, and was relatively calm. Seeing this, he turned around and ran away, and shouted: "Small stick accept, big stick go, don't trap your father in injustice!"
Wei Yingjia yelled and ran to the outside in a hurry. Even though the black hat was thrown on the ground, he didn't go back to pick it up.
Some other speakers also started to run out after hearing his yell, and those who couldn't run just crawled out.
After a quarter of an hour, except for a few who ran away, all the troublemakers outside the gate of Xiyuan were killed.
At this moment, Man Gui and his servants, holding the **** Yanling knife, stepped on the **** porridge, walked towards the palace wall, and didn't stop until they were ten steps away from the palace wall. .
After stopping, Man Gui shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I would like to play the minister Man Gui, the rebellious minister has been punished!"
…
Standing on the palace wall, Zhang Gui smelled the gust of wind and looked at Emperor Tianqi.
Tian Qi looked at the corpses scattered under the palace wall, and said to Ye Xianggao: "The cabinet drafted a decree, and I want to emphasize it again. In the future, if something happens, follow the rules. If it is not an express delivery within eight hundred miles, it will go to the Secretary of the General Administration. Don't come to the Forbidden Garden. Otherwise, it is treason!"
"Your Majesty, they are not plotting rebellion, they are just admonishing in Fuque, the one who conspired is Man Gui, please order to kill Man Gui, Your Majesty!"
Ye Xianggao stood up and said this at this time.
Tian Qi glanced back at him.
Ye Xianggao did not show any fear, and asked directly: "Your Majesty, do you really want to completely break with the civil servants of the world?!"
Apocalypse unanswered.
Ye Xianggao continued to press Tianqi: "Please order to kill Man Gui, Your Majesty! As long as Your Majesty is willing to do so, I am willing to attribute today's affairs to Man Gui, and the words are all caused by Man Gui!"
Zhang Gui asked at this time: "Are you doing this to make my Ming Dynasty no longer have any generals who dare to kill for the emperor?!"
"Uncle Guo!"
Ye Xianggao suddenly yelled, looked at Zhang Gui, and said, "How far are you going to harm me, Daming?! Do you really want His Majesty to be called a tyrant because of you?!"
"If Your Majesty wants to become a tyrant, I definitely didn't force it, they forced it! It was you Ye Fuqing who forced it!"
Zhang Gui said in a loud voice, "First of all, you are incompetent as the first assistant! If you, Ye Fuqing, have half the loyalty of Yan Fenyi, Gao Xinzheng, and Zhang Jiangling, how can you force the emperor to use a knife to speak! Do you dare to say that these officials were not caused by Ye Fuqing's connivance? You didn't even want to use them to suppress the emperor?!"
Ye Xianggao was very embarrassed by Zhang Gui's words for a moment, and couldn't help but hurriedly cupped his hands to Tian Qi: "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such intentions, but I dare not have the intention of coercing officials to make the emperor!"
"Is there any? You know for yourself. Since you recovered, use Wang Huazhen to make Daming lose Shenyang first, then Liaoyang, and then Guangning. If it were me, I would be ashamed to stay in the court."
Zhang Gui replied.
Ye Xianggao felt ashamed after hearing this, and couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, since Uncle Guo said so, I can only resign."
"Then you resign."
Tianqi replied bluntly.
Ye Xianggao suddenly wanted to take back the words just now, but now it was too much to take back, so he could only reply: "Yes!"
Tianqi went on to say: "He is right. I asked you to be the chief assistant. I originally hoped that you could use your qualifications to make the officials calm down, but you always listen to their mercy. As the chief, you are not blind Be obedient to me, at least don't just listen to the orders of the servants, and make things impossible for the country."
Tianqi's words made Ye Xianggao even more ashamed, and he didn't dare to say another word for a while.
"Your Majesty, Daming now needs ministers who seek the country more than ministers who seek the body. Therefore, why not restore Jiangling's reputation."
Zhang Guijian said.
Tianqi actually had this idea long ago. In history, he was invited by Zou Yuanbiao in the second year of Tianqi to restore Zhang Juzheng's reputation. Now because of Ye Xianggao's incident, his thoughts became stronger, and he said, "Very kind!"
"Your Majesty, no!"
Ye Xianggao called out anxiously, and said: "When Zhang Jiangling was in the temple, he controlled the court and treated the princes and officials harshly. His crime cannot be forgiven, Your Majesty!"
Ye Xianggao couldn't imagine that if Zhang Juzheng's reputation was restored, would it really stimulate another minister who was determined to reform?
You must know that in the Wanli period, Qiu Xiao finally suppressed the reform ideas of some scholar-bureaucrats in the world by starving Zhang Juzheng's ten-odd family members and his eldest son to death. Now that the emperor really wants to do this, he is simply releasing a minister who dared to The signal jumped out again.
"You want to seek your own life, but you don't allow others to seek your country! What is your intention?!"
Tianqi was really angry, questioned Ye Xianggao, and then ordered: "Ye Xianggao messed up the government and harmed the country, he should be executed! Think of his past achievements in fighting for the country, and hang himself instead! He has no family property!"
Jiangling refers to Zhang Juzhengha. In the Ming Dynasty volume of the General History of Chinese Customs, it is stated that the people of the generation like to refer to a certain Shoufu by the place where the Shoufu’s native place is located. Strict points should be Yan Song, and Gao Xinzheng is Gao Gong
