The First Gongsheng of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 111 Mulan Girl Zhang Fei
The ministers present did not object for a while.

The matter was brought up by Liu Jian, and it should be continued by Liu Jian, especially how to deal with the charge of "bewitching the public" is a big question.

Liu Jian looked at Li Dongyang at the side.

Li Dongyang immediately understood, walked out and held up the wat board and said: "Your Majesty, if the remarks about the earthquake are only circulated among a few people, it is not considered to be confusing the public. Now that the remarks have been heard by the heavens, and by Your Majesty announced it to the public, and even intended to let the local government prepare, so it should not be discussed as a small conspiracy."

Zhu Youtang frowned and said, "What does Mr. Li Ge mean?"

Li Dongyang has seen the emperor's protection, and also guessed that the person who made the earthquake statement may be Zhang Zhou.

He didn't act rashly to kill them all.

It can be regarded as giving face to the emperor and Zhang Zhou's status as a scholar.

But for these elders, it is necessary to teach Zhang Zhou a lesson.

"If such speeches are not punished, there will be more in the future. Your Majesty should set punishments. When the speeches cannot be fulfilled, you should punish them with small punishments."

Li Dongyang is quite polite.

The minister next to him heard that Li Dongyang's suggestion of "small punishments and big commandments" would not hurt the harmony of the monarch and his ministers, but could also play a role in regulating the behavior of the king, which was quite in line with their expectations.

So many people seconded.

Zhu Youtang's face was reserved, and he seemed somewhat regretful that he had spoken out Zhang Zhou's remarks at the scene.

He glanced at Xiao Jing on the side, but Xiao Jing's eyes were firm, as if he was telling Zhu Youtang with his eyes that this was something that Mr. Zhang had decided on himself, and he had told him in advance that he might tell the minister about it. Didn't he anticipate the possible consequences?

If it's just a small punishment and a big commandment, why should His Majesty avoid it?

"Okay." Zhu Youtang nodded, "After the time has passed, if nothing happens, I will punish you according to the circumstances."

The emperor's words were also ambiguous.

Punishment, not crime, means, I also listen to you, if the prophecy fails, then "small punishment and big commandment", it is likely to be three cups of self-punishment, don't be too demanding and you will be severely punished.

Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty, I don't know who this person is, can you deny the specific rules?"

Zhu Youtang was very unhappy.

I've said that, what else do you think?

Dai Yi came out and said with a smile: "Mr. Liu Ge, Your Majesty has already said that if this is a lie, he will be punished. Why should he be aggressive? Speaking of which, if what he said is true and not a lie, then what should I do?" ?”

So are your ministers.

You want to engage in direct remonstrance about everything, and use great principles to pressure the emperor, but the problem is that you can't just talk about unilateral pressure in doing things, right?

If you are really hit by Zhang Zhouyan, shouldn't you be punished too?
Liu Jian said: "Since ancient times..."

"Okay." Zhu Youtang interrupted Liu Jian, "I know what Liu Ge always meant. Since ancient times, there have been prophecies that the earthquake will happen. They are all people who deceive the public with evil words and have ulterior motives. Let me put it this way, this person did not have such a purpose, and it was out of good intentions, and I made this statement only after I sent someone to inquire."

"It's like the Qin Tianjian used the secrets to deduce the future destiny of the country. I have never been able to predict it. Is it the responsibility of the Qin Tianjian? If it weren't for the results of the Qin Tianjian's calculations yesterday, I would not ask, and I will not ask today. I will tell the court!"

Liu Jian was not that polite to Zhang Zhou, and felt that he had to teach Zhang Zhou a lesson.

But now it seems that the emperor is firmly on the side of Zhang Zhou, so it is difficult for him to speak.

Moreover, the emperor used the Qintian monitoring and calculation of the country's fortune as an example, which is very convincing. If Zhang Zhou's crimes were punished based on Zhang Zhou's inaccurate calculation of earthquakes, then the Qin Tianjian would die a hundred times. Neither is enough.

I haven't tested it accurately over there, and I test it every day.

Zhu Youtang said: "If the time is up and there is no such thing, I will punish him, and I will try my best not to listen to such lies in the future. If the test is accurate, I will reward him, gentlemen The family should have no objection, right?"

Liu Jian was originally rushing to the front line of the struggle, seeing the emperor's attitude, he stopped being reluctant.

Even the chief assistant was behind, so the others naturally wouldn't say anything.

"Well, the matter is settled like this! Immediately send an edict to Xinye, Henan, time is running out, I hope to take some precautions, that's all..."

Zhu Youtang seemed to be less interested.

Recently, he has become more energetic and has the strength to handle court affairs, but because of this, perhaps the courtiers feel a crisis, and there seem to be more and more disputes between the monarch and his ministers in the courtroom.

……

……

Things come to an end for now.

Even if the cabinet came forward to put pressure on the emperor to punish Zhang Zhou for his "bewitching words to confuse the crowd", but after all, it didn't happen, so it's hard to say that these must be evil words, and they were suppressed for the time being.

But the emperor can be regarded as a promise, and this matter will be rewarded and punished according to the results.

The degree is not important, the ministers at least feel that the emperor has a certain degree of vigilance against those who like to talk about things with nothing to do.

is a good start.

Who told this Emperor Hongzhi to be good at governing the country, etiquette and so on, but he likes to listen to the rumors of those alchemists, and also likes to take pills?

We must proceed step by step to correct his problem.

The ministers themselves were not out of malice.

Whoever it is... I don't think Zhang Zhou's thing of predicting the earthquake six days in advance will be successful.

……

At this time, Zhang Zhou was leaving the city in a carriage with Wang Yue.

Wang Yue said that he would take him to the Beijing camp to have a look.

The errands of the admiral of the Ming Dynasty were all in charge of Wu Xun and the internal officials. The civil servant Yu Qian had the experience of admiral of the Beijing camp for a while when he was the Minister of the Ministry of War. After Wang Yue returned to Beijing this time, the emperor did not let him take care of it. For the daily drills of the Beijing camp, he, the left servant of the Ministry of War, at most went to the military camp to check the aging of weapons and other conditions.

Even when he entered the barracks, he was not allowed to meet any generals, and he was accompanied by subordinate officials. After entering the barracks, he also needed to be supervised by internal officials.

"Wang Shilang, you want to enter the camp, why do you need to find me?"

Zhang Zhou sat in the carriage, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Recently, Wang Yue has been too enthusiastic about him.

Wang Yue said with a smile: "I like to make friends with young people the most."

is it?

Zhang Zhouxin said, what you like to associate with is not young people, but young and powerful people.

Just as he was talking, he arrived at the gate of the barracks, but saw that there were already people waiting there, and a group of people were watching something.

Zhang Zhou got out of the carriage and looked at the gate of the barracks. It was the Fenwu Camp of the [-]th Regiment Battalion.

Daming Yongle set up three battalions in the capital, five military battalions, three thousand battalions, and Shenji battalion. After that, the tenth regiment battalion was restored in Chenghua and changed to the twelve regiment battalion.

Fenwu Camp is one of the [-] regiments of the Beijing Camp.

But in fact, during the Hongzhi period, due to the serious occupation of the Beijing camp, the daily drills of the Beijing camp could not be guaranteed, and the Beijing camp had not fought a decent war for many years.

When he arrived in Zhengde, Zhu Houzhao was suggested by Jiang Bin to transfer the frontier army to the capital division. At that time, there were only [-] soldiers left in the [-]th Regiment Battalion, many of whom were old.

It can be said that the border defense of Ming Dynasty is not bad, but the defense of the Beijing camp is not as good as every year.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Zhou glanced in the direction of the crowd.

Wang Yue smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, please."

Zhang Zhou was stunned, is this asking me to go over and watch the excitement?
The two went to the bustling place together, and when a soldier recognized Wang Yue, he hurriedly dragged him away, and then the camp was vacated, and Zhang Zhou finally saw clearly what was going on in front of him.

It turned out that someone was wielding a knife and a gun. A red-tasseled gun was playing in his hand, as if it was integrated with the body, flying up and down, and it was not the kind of ostentatious kung fu on the stage. Every stab seemed to kill someone.

When Zhang Zhou saw clearly that she was still a woman, he couldn't help covering his body and took two steps back to prevent accidental injury.

It's not the gymnastics team, it's not the martial arts team, it's the death team.

Hua Mulan?Female Zhang Fei?
"stop!"

Wang Yue gave an order.

The woman stopped playing with the gun and walked over, so that Zhang Zhou could see the woman clearly.

I don't see how graceful she is, but her figure is very... uneven, obviously because of her usual martial arts practice. She doesn't have any fat on her body, but she doesn't have big arms and round waist. It's more like practicing dancing. She is tall and slender, but her face is The tense look gave people a feeling that he was about to kill at any time.

Her eyes are bright, her face has not been modified in any way, it can be regarded as green and elegant without makeup, but it also has the fortitude of a little girl's family.

Beauty is beauty, and people respect it at a distance.

Zhang Zhou was thinking in his heart, whoever married this kind of woman would not be able to cure her after returning home, not to mention losing a fight, she would easily cause death.

"Come here, I met Mr. Zhang." Wang Yue said.

The woman came over, and when Zhang Zhou was curious about who it was, the woman knelt down in front of Zhang Zhou, kowtowed to Zhang Zhou, and said, "Mr.

The voice is very delicate and crisp, and it sounds very pleasing to the ear.

"This……"

Zhang Zhou froze there for a while.

He couldn't help looking at Wang Yue, as if saying, Old Wang, what are you doing?
Wang Yue said with a smile: "The old granddaughter, who is young, has also studied poetry and female filial piety since she was a child, but later she practiced martial arts and did not look like a woman. Mr. Zhang laughed at her."

Zhang Zhou nodded.

Lao Wang's granddaughter...

Although Wang Yue was born as a Jinshi, his descendants did not have any talents in the imperial examination, but his eldest son and second son are currently Jinyiwei Qianhu and Baihu. At that time, it was Wu Xun. Naturally, the younger generations of the Wang family all aimed to practice martial arts and the art of war, even women were no exception.

Zhang Zhou really wanted to say that the daughter of a military general should try her best to become a well-educated and reasonable lady, so that it will be easier to marry. Is your old king trying to cheat your granddaughter?

Who would dare to marry such a woman?
"Get up, let Mr. Zhang have a look."

"Yes."

Following Wang Yue's order, the woman stood up, she was not as shy as ordinary boudoir women, she was the kind who could raise her head and look directly at Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou was looking at her, and she was also looking at Zhang Zhou.

There is a kind of... ignorance in his eyes, as if he is ignorant of the world and doesn't understand everything in the world... stupid...

It's not easy for Zhang Zhou to describe this feeling.

One word to describe.

Moe.

Later generations describe cuteness as a kind of pretended innocence and cuteness, with affectation...

But this girl's cuteness seems to be the kind of "ignorance" that has never seen anything in the world, and she is distracted when she is not paying attention, and her mind is wandering and she doesn't know what she is thinking.

Let Zhang Zhou come to think of it, this woman is the kind who is curious about everything, but has no interest in anything. If she can become obsessed with certain things, she probably only has to practice martial arts.

Wu crazy?
"Mingshan, don't make any noise after entering the barracks. Follow Mr. Zhang. If anyone approaches, block them." Wang Yue ordered.

The woman clasped her fists and said, "The grandson takes orders."
