Chapter 254

Chapter 254

Wei Yunzhen knelt on the ground as she spoke, and yelled up to the sky: "Heaven, open your eyes and see, it stands to reason that a country has adjudicated ministers, so the country will not be destroyed; but now they want to kill adjudicated ministers! Huh!"

When Wei Yunzhen was crying bitterly, Jin Yiwei dragged him away like a dead dog.

But at this time, Gu Xiancheng, Li Zhi and others saw this scene without saying a word.

It wasn't until Jin Yiwei walked away that Li Zhi couldn't help but muttered: "Wei Gong is right, why is Jiangling gone, and it's even worse?!"

Gu Xiancheng lowered his face, and said: "There must be something wrong with the imperial servant, a minister has become a slanderous and flattering minister, and he turned his back on the battlefield, and we have become outcasts!"

Li Zhi nodded after hearing this: "It makes sense, what should we do now?"

Gu Xiancheng said: "Naturally, we should go to inquire first, who insisted on doing this, and why did it happen? Only in this way can we prescribe the right medicine and rescue the princes of Shangshu."

At this time, Zhang Dingsi from Li Ke ran over: "I tell you some bad news. Jiangling's posthumous title has been fixed, and the posthumous title of Wenzheng will be pursued. Not only that, but Jiangling County will be changed to Taiyue County, and local taxes will be exempted for one year. Within the year, the number of student members in the local county doubled, and he was posthumously named Marquis of Jingzhou."

"Whoever has this honor after the death of a civil servant, I will see you in North Korea!"

"what?!"

"How can such a ministerial meeting be passed?"

"Doesn't the Ritual Division have the right to reject the Ministry of Rites' proposal?!"

After hearing this, Li Zhi was very disappointed and asked Zhang Dingsi.

Zhang Dingsi said: "There is no way, the holy will is so, I dare not violate it!"

"Why don't you dare to violate it?"

"If it is unreasonable, it is necessary to refute the advice!"

Li Zhi said excitedly.

Zhang Dingsi sneered: "It's easy for you to say! Did you forget? The emperor has soldiers in his hands now! There are military guards who just went to Japan Island to kill tens of thousands of Japanese pirates!"

"It's not wrong to remonstrate."

"Your Majesty has soldiers in hand."

Gu Xiancheng smiled wryly, and expressed his understanding to Zhang Dingsi, and said: "As the saying goes, a small stick receives, a big stick walks away. When the father of the king has a stick in his hand, there is no need to force the father of the king into an unjust place."

Although Li Zhi had nothing to say after hearing this, he still couldn't hide his disappointment: "Because of the reform, he was given the posthumous title of Wenzheng, and it also benefited the village, so that the hometown received his kindness, and other clans and neighbors in the world would also be willing." Is it a good thing to support ministers who have gone out of their hometown to restructure in the court?"

"Everyone knows that this is not a good thing, but how dare you violate the holy will?"

Zhang Dingsi continued to talk at this time, and said: "There is one more thing. Mr. Xu's family has been confiscated by his family for smuggling pirates and ordering people to dig the imperial tomb. The decree has been issued, and we will wait for Mr. Xu to arrive in Beijing."

"what?!"

Both Gu Xiancheng and Li Zhi looked over in shock.

For a moment, Yu Shenxing, who was here, couldn't help but sigh: "This is the Yuanfu of the two dynasties! I believe that Mr. Xu may be dissatisfied with Jiangling's behavior in politics, but I can't believe that Mr. Xu will To do such a thing, at most, it is really an act of smuggling for profit, but as the prime ministers of the two dynasties, how can the rulers of the current dynasties not persuade His Majesty to be lenient instead of being so harsh?"

"Out of holy wrath, the situation is irreversible, presumably the Duke of the court would not dare to dissuade it."

Gu Xiancheng said with a wry smile.

Zhang Dingsi followed suit and nodded.

Li Zhi clenched his fists tightly: "Are we going to sit and watch one unethical thing happen after another? At least, Jiang Ling can't pursue the posthumous name Wenzheng!"

At this moment, Yu Shenxing sighed: "Forget it! At least when Jiangling was in power, although he killed the officials who forced the emperor to dismiss him, he didn't even refuse to dissuade the already made decree like at this time. Seeing him For the sake of seeking the country, it is not too much to receive this honor, and it can also demonstrate the virtue of the emperor's respect for teachers, there is no need to embarrass your majesty in this matter, it is actually a good thing for the emperor to respect teachers!"

Everyone nodded after listening.

Only Li Zhi asked at this time: "What about the current tyranny, won't it be abolished?!"

"Of course it will be scrapped!"

"Although the Son of Heaven has soldiers, his ambition may not be strong, and his plans may not be high. The important thing is to see whether the ruler in the court has the determination to abolish the tyranny of Jiangling."

Gu Xiancheng started talking again at this time, and said: "Let's first find out why the person who is currently acting as the chief assistant did not prevent this from happening."

Not long after, Gu Xiancheng and others inquired and found out that it was Zhang Siwei's request to strangle the official of Shang Shuyan, and the reason was that Wang Guoguang said that Zhang Siwei deliberately indulged the official, so that Zhang Siwei simply catered to the emperor because he was afraid of arousing the envy of the emperor. He even personally asked to kill these officials of Shangshu to prove his innocence.

"I didn't expect Zhang Puzhou to be so cowardly!"

Therefore, Yu Shenxing spoke in disappointment after knowing this.

Gu Xiancheng was also very disappointed and said: "Not only is he cowardly, but also shameless! Since he doesn't have the guts to rebuke Yan Zhizhi for the officials, then don't think about being the leader who abolishes tyranny!"

Snapped!

After Gu Xiancheng said that, he punched the table heavily.

"It's true that one general is incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted!"

"Unexpectedly, the first wave of offensive against the Zhang Party broke the front teeth!"

"Although Wang Guoguang was lost, at least he was interceding for the speaker of Shangshu. For the sake of his courage, it is not good to make things worse and make people in the world feel that speaking for the speaker will not be good. Report; it’s just that Dongchang made money, and a big case involving the chief ministers of the two dynasties was done, which greatly damaged the face of our scholar-bureaucrats!”

Li Zhi also spoke up very angrily.

Gu Xiancheng laughed at this moment, and said: "Don't say such depressing words, it's still unknown who will win the deer, but it's still the same sentence, the emperor's ambition may not be strong, and his plans may not be deep."

Li Zhi and the others nodded after hearing this.

Then, Gu Xiancheng looked at Li Zhi and the others, and continued to say with a smile: "The road is long and difficult, but if you keep going, you will come; if you keep going, the future can be expected."

Then, Gu Xiancheng cupped his hands and bowed: "Let's encourage each other!"

Li Zhi and others returned the salute: "Uncle Shi's words are very true!"

……

So far, because Zhu Yijun has shown a tough posture to protect the dignity of his husband by relying on the fact that he has a pro-military guard in his hands, and Zhang Siwei is not strong enough personally to disobey Shangyi, and the ruling minister of the court was in the Zhang Juzheng era. The reformists who accounted for the majority have not yet been deposed, so in the end, the opposition's first wave of counterattacks against the New Deal and Zhang Juzheng, aimed at preventing Pan Sheng from joining the cabinet, failed.

The price for the failure of the faction against the New Deal is that several speech officials will be sent to the execution ground to be executed.

What's more, he could only watch Xu Jie being escorted to Beijing for interrogation.

Wang Jixian, Sun Wei, Wei Yunzhen and other speech officials were formally taken to the execution ground on this day, awaiting execution.

These speech officials also wanted to cry without tears. They dared to be the first to sound the clarion call to abolish the New Deal and liquidate Zhang Juzheng's party. Naturally, they were speculative and wanted to get a rich political legacy first.

But court struggles have always been cruel, especially in times of turmoil and uncertainty. Although being a vanguard will gain a lot of political gains, once you fail, you will bear a high price.

Therefore, these officials can be regarded as self-inflicted, because they have borne such a price because of their own choices.

"what!"

When the rope that hanged Wang Jixian tightened around his neck, Wang Jixian's eyes were full of remorse.

Sun Wei cried even more, "Your Majesty, I'm wrong, I shouldn't ignore you."

Wei Yunzhen just smiled wryly, and then wept again after the wry smile, and shouted: "What's wrong with speaking up for the country, and what's wrong with speaking out for the king! I don't understand, he Pan Xinchang has done something wrong, why can't he speak up?" Why can’t I expose my faults! Is it wrong to be an admonishing minister?! If the late emperor didn’t kill Hai Gangfeng, why did this dynasty want to kill me, Wei Yunzhen?!”

Whether it was regret, begging for mercy, or dissatisfaction, these officials were all strangled in the end.

At the same time that these officials were strangled, Zhang Juzheng's posthumous posthumous title and posthumous decree were also delivered to Jiangling in a hurry.

It's just that Hao Rusong, the magistrate of Jingzhou, was also dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng's reforms. After all, Zhang Juzheng's reforms in the country were too harsh on the interests of big bureaucrats and big landlords.

You know, it's even more ruthless than in history.

Officials and gentry pay food and go on errands together, and send troops to raid the lairs of smuggling powerful officials and gentry in the country of Japan. These are cakes that Zhang Juzheng has not touched in history.

Therefore, just like Hao Rusong would detain Zhang Juzheng's family and starve to death more than 20 people in advance before the imperial decree came, what he wants to hear now is the news that Zhang Juzheng's house was ransacked.

Therefore, Hao Rusong also asked his confidants who came back to report the news: "Someone from the capital came to Zhang's mansion again? Is it good news or bad news?"

"good news!"
