Chapter five hundred and seventh: grateful

What Emperor Tianqi was angry about was not just what the Zhang family did after his death.

It is the reputation of Queen Zhang.

A husband and wife should be one.

But over the years, the emperor was a foolish monarch, the concubine was also a disgrace, and the eunuchs were even more eunuchs.

Only Empress Zhang is praised as a virtuous person.

It’s not that Emperor Tianqi couldn’t stand Empress Zhang having a good reputation.

But why scholars praise you so much? Don’t you have a number?

Although everyone wants to have a good reputation, it is very dangerous for the palace... to be praised like this.

Emperor Tianqi said: "What do you think of your family? It depends on their own. If you are willing to explain things clearly, I will be kind. But if there is anything left to hide, I will not be kind. You can do it yourself."

After Emperor Aoki said that, he turned around and left.

Queen Zhang looked at the distant back for a long time, burst into tears, but she had to kowtow and continue to thank her for her.

…………

The ministers dispersed, and no one expected that things would turn around.

This Majesty... is back again.

It was still a familiar style, and everyone was caught off guard.

At this time, Empress Zhang was deposed and Zhang Jing's title of king was shocked countless times. The officials were all thinking about it.

They left the palace, but found that many people were wailing here.

But there are Jinyiwei everywhere chasing scholars.

This made many people feel panicked.

Your Majesty's methods are getting more and more ruthless.

This is completely no way out.

After someone inquired, he realized that he was pursuing the rebels who colluded with the Liao generals.

So someone couldn't help but sigh: "How can a scholar make trouble without the power to tie a chicken? This is a crime that he wants to add to his fault."

Even though it is said so, it doesn't seem to make any sense.

When you are strong, you can use culture to build martial arts, and you will always fight and kill.

But once you are weak, you will immediately become a person who is powerless and harmless.

However, at this time, the officials did not dare to cause trouble again.

It was mainly because it was too mysterious. His Majesty suddenly came back to the capital. He heard that all the Liao generals had been cut down, and all the Jiannu people had been cut down.

If anyone else was, he would feel that it was at the critical moment. It should be a look at the direction of the wind first.

Therefore, even if there is a complaint, I will only whisper in private and never dare to put it on the table.

On the other side, several cabinet ministers went to the cabinet.

Li Guo looked a little anxious: "Your Majesty believes in Zhang Jingyi so much. Now that he has been appointed as the prince and ordered the Zhang family to settle in Liaodong, he is afraid that it will cause disaster sooner or later. This is a disaster for raising a tiger. If the tail is in trouble in the future, how should the court control it?"

Sun Chengzong smiled and glanced at Li Guo.

Li Guo... doesn't say anything on weekdays, but it does not mean that he is truly a completely transparent person.

In other words, Sun Chengzong entered the cabinet later than Li State, and was sorted after Li State.

Sun Chengzong suddenly realized that Li Guo’s thinking... may be the thinking of most scholars and officials.

In the past, Sun Chengzong actually had the same idea.

If it were a few years ago, he would have advised Emperor Tianqi.

But now... he began to slowly figure out Zhang Jingyi's routine.

In the past, everyone was trapped in a terrible mindset.

In other words, the world is so big, and this person takes up one more point, then this person will definitely rebel.

But now when I think about it, it's not the case.

Zhang Jingyi's things, from growing sweet potatoes to making money, essentially there is no demand, and he has created new demand.

In other words, in the past, everyone was introverted, and one or two people would die between you and me, but now they support external creation.

Obviously, Your Majesty also saw this clearly. It is meaningless to be so big in the world, guarding one acre of three parts of land.

Just like Jiannu, is it solved differently? Is it better to give this land and population to Jiannu than to Zhang family?

So Sun Chengzong said lightly: "As long as the court is strong, then what Mr. Li said is too much."

"But what if the court was weak?" Li Guo said worriedly.

Sun Chengzong smiled and said, "The court is weak, so why should we worry about the Zhang family in Liaodong? We should worry about the bandits, but we are also worried about bandits! Even if there are bandits, there are not Japanese pirates, are there Mongolian Tartars? Therefore, as ministers, don't always think about these things... These should be thought about how to strengthen the official army, how to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and make the court always invincible."

"If you worry and be careful everywhere, but you forget the fact that the iron must be strong himself, then what is the difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, the Jiannu, the bandits, or the Mongols, and the Zhang family that you fear? Over the years, I have understood that Zhang Jing's way of leaving is the right way. If the Jiannu is gone, the people of Xinxian and Fengqiu can live and work in peace. Have you not seen the taxes collected by Xinxian? A mere county is about to reach a province."

"There is also the Donglin Military Academy, so I don't need to say much, ah... Lords, when we see such a good way to govern the country, we turn a blind eye to it. This is the root of the disaster. Now we are thinking about it. The Zhang family may grow stronger in Liaodong and will not lose its end in the future. If we only think about the latter, the collapse of the Ming Dynasty will only happen sooner or later.

Li Guo frowned and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Sun's words are a bit biased. Governor must govern the country, but should you be afraid of it, don't you be afraid of it?"

Speaking of this, he turned his eyes and looked at Huang Liji and said, "Mr. Huang, what do you think?"

Huang Liji really wanted to scold people at this time.

A cabinet chief minister, a great minister, has to ask himself what he thinks if he is a human or a ghost.

What can I think about it myself? I just want to mix with it.

So Huang Liji coughed and said, "According to my eyes, what Mr. Sun said... is not without reason. Of course, what Mr. Li said... is also very reasonable. From this we can see that if you listen partially, you will be secret, and if you listen both, you will be bright. The ancients did not deceive me... Speaking of which, today I saw Your Majesty coming in a gray dress..."

Li Guo: "…"

Sun Chengzong sighed and said, "Mr. Huang, don't say it. If you continue, you are not at ease, and I will not be at ease after hearing it."

Too nonsense...

Huang Liji's face was slightly cold. What did he say? He didn't take me, the assistant minister, seriously at all.

Liu Hongxun, who was standing aside, said: "Mr. Li, don't worry too much. After all, Liaodong is a barren land. When Jiannu had not started a fuss, he had not yet charged Liao levies. Liaodong is full of plans and cannot support 200,000 households. In the pass, a relatively wealthy prefecture will not be below it. In such a place, as long as the court does not add Liao levies, nothing will happen."

This is true to Li Guo's appetite.

However, Li Guodao: "I'm afraid that Your Majesty will favor Zhang Jingyi and then allocate money and grain to Liaodong."

"At that time, we will just argue with reason." Liu Hongxun said: "If there is no money and no food, there will be no people. What's wrong with letting Zhangjia Town be in Liaodong? This is a difficult situation for the world to produce grain in the pass, let alone in Liaodong. What big thing can you do if you can't support yourself?"

This is a real word.

So Li Guo nodded and said, "I have to do this."

Then, he said angrily: "All the masters are here, so just say that Liaodong has been enfeoffed. The grain in this pass is our lifeblood. If the Zhang family has money, it would be fine to buy grain from Liaodong to go to Liaodong, but they must not let him treacherously move a grain of rice in the national treasury. Otherwise, we will be a corpse and eat, so why should we slaughter the world?"

"Yes, Is You."

Everyone nodded.

Li Guo was finally satisfied and suddenly smiled unstoppable, saying, "When I think about it carefully, it may not be a bad thing to think that the Zhang family went to that bitter and cold place. Anyway... that ghost place was originally a person who was sent to the army and sent to the exile, hahaha... I sent the Zhang family to the exile... Oh, yes, what is that place called?"

"Called by Lushun."

"I was sent to Lushun and I was just out of sight."

Sun Chengzong looked speechless. This guy turned his head and started to gloat again.

I shook my head in my heart, the situation was too low... I actually competed with such people who were very particular about it.

…………

As soon as Zhang Jing left the palace, Zhang Jing took almost every step, and Zhang Guoji followed him step by step and refused to make a single step.

Until you leave the palace.

Zhang Jing turned around and said angrily: "You go back to your house first. Then I will call myself a man to give you a ride, and then I will go to Qianhuyuan to discuss it."

However, Zhang Guoji shook his head and smiled bitterly: "No, go now."

Zhang Jingyi said: "Why is this?"

Zhang Guoji looked around and then lowered his voice, "I feel that Wei Zhongxian will harm me after all. How could he not kill me when he reaches this point? I have been thinking about it, and now... my Zhang family is over, but I have to live strongly. I am here and the Zhang family is here. Your Majesty also said that I will be dealt with by His Highness the Prince... So I figured it out and will be in Xinxian from now on, and I will not go anywhere."

People are still very adaptable.

Just now, Zhang Guoji claimed to be the father-in-law of the country, thinking that the Zhang family might become a powerful person like Huo Guang in the future.

Now that his life is out of reach, he has no time to sigh at his miserable fate.

It is important to save your life first.

He knew better than anyone else that it was not fun to provoke Wei Zhongxian.

Zhang Jingyi said, "Since that's the case, I have to let you down."

"Don't feel wronged, don't feel wronged. I want to thank you!" Zhang Guoji said seriously.

Zhang Jingyi then looked around and ordered: "Come on, Taikang Bo is involved in the case of Liao general's rebellion, take him down immediately!"

The students on both sides did not hesitate anymore, rushed forward quickly, and directly pressed Zhang Guoji to the ground.

Zhang Guoji cooperated very well, without any intention of resistance, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Highness, the Prince..."

On the other hand, he said: "Your Highness, I have a secret matter and collude with the Liao generals... The lower officials know a little about it..."

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help frowning, and then said, "Take it back, take it back quickly, be locked up for a few hours first, and wait for the interrogation later!"
