Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 471
In the seventh month of Gengwu in the sixth year of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor's oral order came out from the palace: summon the three assistant ministers of the cabinet, six ministers and ministers, the censors of the left and right, the envoy of the government, the minister of Dali Temple, and all six subjects to be given to the affairs and above the Marquis in Beijing Xunchen went to Wenhua Hall to discuss matters.

At the second quarter of the hour, the cabinet's office was the closest, and the three assistant ministers had already arrived at the Wenhua Palace in advance.

Gao Gong saw that Zhang Juzheng's face was pale and there were two big bags under his eyes, so he knew he didn't sleep well.Although this matter was caused by Gao Yushi, Gao Gong is an upright gentleman. Seeing that Zhang Juzheng, who has always paid attention to appearance, looked like this today, he felt a little guilty, so he took the initiative to say hello: "Taiyue, why don't you?" Here we come, I heard that you are unconscious due to heatstroke, why don't you recuperate at home today?"

Zhang Juzheng smiled slightly, and said a little out of breath, "Yuanfu is blaming me. It's true that Juzheng passed out due to heat stroke yesterday, but he didn't expect the servants in the mansion to be so bold. Carrying him back to the capital without authorization... Sigh, this is an act of indebtedness, even if I don't have the call of the emperor today, I will have to go to the court to plead guilty, how dare I stay at home?"

Gao Gong said: "Although the Holy Majesty is young, he is not unreasonable. If you worked so hard and fell ill, how could he hold you accountable? There will be rewards and consolations later."

Zhang Juzheng's eyes dimmed, and he shook his head: "There will be no rewards, today is probably the last time I will enter this Wenhua Palace."

"What does Taiyue mean?" Gao Gong frowned.

Zhang Juzheng looked at Gao Gong and asked: "Yuanfu, you and I have been colleagues for decades, we have always cherished each other, who knows today? Now that I am in great trouble, I dare not ask for forgiveness, but there is one thing that has been on my heart for a long time I really can't bear to ask, and I hope that Yuan Funian's friendship with me for many years can solve my doubts."

Gao Gong looked at him, and sighed: "If Taiyue has any doubts, just ask, and I will speak up."

Zhang Juzheng said: "Is what happened this time planned by Yuan Fu, or by Duke Guo? Or...the one who spread it is someone else?"

Seeing Zhang Juzheng's bright eyes, Gao Gong knew that he was very concerned about this matter, or that he was very dissatisfied with today's defeat, so he couldn't help sighing again, and said: "It's neither me nor the hostess, it's really my naughty little boy." what my nephew did."

After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng was not too surprised, but showed a trace of relief.Then he looked up to the sky and sighed, and said slowly: "At the end of the third year of Longqing, Yuanfu brought him to the capital, and that was the first time I saw him. At that time, he was only seven or eight years old, and he probably hadn't been out yet. I crossed Henan Province, but he met the court officials and princes, but he dealt with them freely, without any timidity. At that time, I thought that this son must be a man who would make trouble in the future. Now, I look like this It's not bad to look at people, but... ha, who would have thought that this 'future day' would come so early."

At this time, Guo Pu also came over, also asking how Zhang Juzheng was doing.Zhang Juzheng answered a few words casually, and then arched high: "Yuanfu, we will leave today, and we may not see each other again in this life. Juzheng has no other wish in this life. I only hope that Yuanfu can show you and me the ambitions of the day one by one. Give Daming a Wanli Zhongxing. If you can do this, you will die right away... no regrets."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left, and went directly to the main hall of Wenhua Hall.

Guo Pu frowned, turned to Gao Gong, and asked doubtfully, "Suqing, what's wrong with Zhang Juzheng?"

Gao Gong looked at Zhang Juzheng's forcibly straightened back, sighed, shook his head and said, "Brother Zhifu, you will know what happened to Zhang Juzheng in a while. Alas, your student... I don't know if he did a good deed or Bad thing."

Guo Pu frowned even deeper, but he didn't ask again.

At the second quarter of the hour, all the ministers were summoned, no matter whether they had asked for leave or reported illness before, all those who were in the capital had gathered in the main hall of the Wenhua Palace, waiting for the emperor to come.

At three o'clock, Chen Hongfeng, the chief eunuch holding a pen, came and proclaimed loudly: "The empress, the imperial concubine and the emperor are here! All the officials kneel down to welcome you!"

After the ceremony was completed, many ministers who were completely puzzled looked at the main hall of the Wenhua Palace, the empress and the imperial concubine sitting on the left and right sides of the alchemy, and the little emperor also had a look on his face. Awe-inspiring, sitting on another golden chair carved with dragons, the position is slightly lower.

Daming ruled the world with filial piety, so there is no problem with this seat, the problem is that there seems to be something wrong with the accompanying person!

Standing beside Empress Chen is Bingbi, the chief inspector of ceremonies, and Huang Mengyu, the admiral of Dongchang; It is the Secretary of Rites holding the pen, and the Imperial Horse Supervisor holding the seal of Chen Ju; on the left is the Shidu Bachelor of the Imperial Academy of Guanzheng, Zhan Shifu Zuo Chunfang Zuo Yu De Gao Pragmatic.

Eh?What kind of trick is this?
Where did the eunuch Feng Bao, the chief inspector of ceremonies, go?

There must not be many idiots who can stand here at this moment. Even those father-in-laws and marquises are all well-established figures in the officialdom, and it is obvious at a glance that this posture is not right.

After sizing up the three people above Majesty Dan, everyone's eyes quietly turned to the three ministers Gu Ming who stood at the front of Majesty Dan.

However, the expressions of the three ministers were surprisingly the same - no expression.

If there was any difference, it would be that Zhang Gelao's face seemed a little too pale.But everyone is well-informed, and most of them already know that Mr. Zhang Ge was sent back to the capital overnight by his family because of heatstroke and coma in Tianshou Mountain yesterday, so it is understandable that his face is a little ugly.

But you three elders don't have an attitude, what shall we do next?

However, they are all overthinking, because they seem to have nothing to do, just listen to it.

The queen and imperial concubine were sitting still in awe, and the emperor didn't say a word, and directly ordered: "Chen Hong, declare the decree."

Chen Hong came out according to the decree, and declared loudly: "The queen's decree, the imperial concubine's decree, the emperor's imperial decree: Feng Bao, the eunuch who was in charge of ceremonies the day before, was assassinated, and Dongchang and Jinyiwei were ordered to investigate. Jue was ordered by Feng Bao to plan. Dongchang and Jinyiwei investigated again, and found out that Feng Bao deceived the king and the country, and the crime was serious!
Feng Baoben should be slaughtered, thinking that he was an old slave of the late emperor, and he had served him for a long time, so he will be lenient for the time being.It was surrendered to Fengyu and sent to Nanjing Xiaolingwei to grow vegetables;
Xu Jue was originally a fugitive. Because he joined Feng Bao's family, he abused his military position, bullied the king from a slave, and issued an imperial edict for strict trial;
Zhang Juzheng, a well-known scholar, was deeply involved in the case and bribed Feng Bao with seven famous pianos, nine night pearls, five pairs of pearl curtains, 3 taels of gold and 10 silver. Two, there are countless treasures in the rest.He even discussed secretly with Feng Bao many times, uttered wild words, insulted the Tian family, had ulterior motives, and fell into Yuanfu.The imperial edict should have been issued at the same time, and the remaining parties should be strictly investigated. They thought that they were the former ministers of the late emperor's hidden residence and Gu Ming's cabinet officials, so they will be lenient for the time being.I am free of charge and concurrently with various jobs, and I am not allowed to stay when I return to my hometown to live idle. "

After Chen Hong finished reading, the whole hall was shocked!
