Chapter 18 Resonance
The ministers present listened to Zhang Yanling's remarks on the cause of the incident and remained silent.
I felt so annoyed.
Why didn’t I investigate these news yourself? Instead, Zhang Yanling found it?
How blind is this mouse? It can hit Zhang Yanling's blind cat?
Having said that, even if there is no actual evidence, the Ministry of Revenue should pay attention to such a reasonable reasoning process.
The Ministry of Revenue’s response is to... impeach Zhang Yanling to bully the market?
What is the Ministry of Revenue going to make trouble?
It’s just that Zhang Yanling is too arrogant and domineering, and he even brought people to fight and steal land outside the city in advance. How could he suddenly investigate the military situation in the northwest?
weird!
The ministers in the court were mixed with feelings. Ye Qi, as the Minister of Revenue, still stood silently aside. Those who didn't know thought he hadn't participated in this matter at all.
Zhu Youzhang broke his silence again and said, "As you all hear, how Jianchang Bo investigated the information about military affairs in the northwest? Although it was a little late when the report was reported, if the court could pay attention to it as soon as possible, he would be prepared beforehand."
A censor suddenly walked out of the Censorate and said sharply: "Your Majesty, Jianchang Bo knew in advance that the military situation in the northwest had changed. He did not read the memorial to be investigated by the court. Instead, he sent someone to seal the merchants' warehouses in private. Because of his greed for merit, he knew about the major military and did not report it! I want to impeach him!"
Zhang Yanling couldn't help but look at him in the voice. He was a middle-aged censor in his forties.
I have to put shit on my body when I get here. Even if you really hate me, please see if the wind direction is good?
Do you understand if you change your mind when you see the wind?
Zhang Yanling was ruthlessly angry at the censor and said, "Your Excellency, are you the one with the surname Lai? Even after I had conclusive guidance and took action, the Ganqing Palace was still accused of being punished and suspended from the investigation. If I report in advance, will you impeach me for an alarmist crime of disturbing the morale of the army?"
Zhang Yanling did not give the censor any face in front of many court officials. The censor had never seen anyone speak like this in front of the monarch, minister and officials in the court.
He turned red with anger, pointed at Zhang Yanling and said tremblingly: "You... You are a shameless person."
If you quarrel, you must be reasonable and scold others if you don’t quarrel?!
Old guy, you are scolding the uncle, you are in trouble!
"Enough!"
Just when the court was a little out of control, Zhu Youting shouted angrily, instantly making the main hall of Fengtian Palace silent.
When the ministers saw the emperor angry, they stood up and quickly made a gesture of bowing their heads and preparing to listen to Zhu Youzhang's instructions.
Zhu Youzhang changed his previous sluggish state, stood in front of the dragon throne, pointed at the ministers in the court and said with anger: "My anger today is not due to the gains and losses of Hami City, but to the civil and military officials in the court. Before the changes in the military situation in the northwest, no one found out."
"Jianchang found clues clearly, but was impeached by you because of party disputes. The words that Gan Qing Gong Nel attacked him on that day were particularly my ears!"
These words were deafening and totally worthy of his majesty as a king.
Even Zhang Yanling felt relieved after hearing this.
Perhaps only the brother-in-law and brother-in-law can resonate in this matter, so that you old guys like to stand arrogantly on the moral high ground and comment on royal affairs! What do foreign relatives are talking about chaos in politics and bullying the market? Now I finally have the opportunity to make you lose face. Don’t you have a stick to hit you?
Ye Qi, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, finally came out and said with regret: "The old minister failed to verify the evidence, and even falsely accused Jianchangbo and ordered the military investigation to be delayed. I asked Your Majesty to surrender the crime."
I originally thought that Ye Qi would come out to argue with reason or refuse to admit it, and there were many people who were still waiting to watch the show, but I didn't expect that the first thing Ye Qi said when she came out, she admitted her fear.
He also took the initiative to take responsibility for the crime.
Originally, many "righteous ministers" wanted to extricate themselves from the Ministry of Revenue, but when they heard Ye Qi's words, they felt calm.
It is better to retreat to advance than to continue to fight unnecessary things. This is the way to solve the problem.
Zhu Youting's anger was restrained, and he sneered: "The Ministry of Revenue's crime is not only accusing Jianchang Bo, but also accusing Xian... I will discuss this matter again after the situation. Now we must immediately discuss strategies to deal with Hami's military information!"
Zhu Youzhang sat down again.
The minister with a discerning eye immediately saw some signs.
The emperor was so angry that he was not only attacked for Hami's military affairs, nor because Zhang Yanling's investigation and clues were found. There was another factor in it.
Because of the disadvantages of exhaustion and envy, it involves major joint issues such as tax revenue in the court during the Hongzhi period. Even if Zhu Youzhang finds that he is very angry, he still has to worry about the impact of this matter and cannot be made public at will.
The martial arts are already ruined, so should the cultural and political parties slap themselves in the face?
"Shangshu Ma, what are the plans for Hami's mistakes now?"
Zhu Youzhang didn't wait for others to give suggestions, so he took the initiative to ask Ma Wensheng.
Ma Wensheng said with a look of disgrace: "Even if Hami is in trouble, it is because Hami Zhongshun King is not enough to convince the public. At the beginning of the year, all our Ming soldiers had withdrawn from Hami. In this battle, our Ming soldiers were still stationed in important passes such as Gansu and Guyuan. Now there are many tribal disputes such as Tatars and Oirat in the northwest. I believe that there should be no major trends in the northwest for the time being, and we should strictly prevent the passes from Shang to the future."
As the Minister of War, Ma Wensheng has a strong understanding of military affairs. He decisively realized that he would probably fail to send troops to Hami now.
But his words were not recognized by the radicals in the court.
When he said that he would send troops in the northwest, he made great contributions to the capture of Hami. Now that Hami lost, you said that it was not appropriate to make big moves. The loss of Hami affects your career, Ma Wensheng's career, and you don't have to worry about the face that the court has lost, right?
Li Rong immediately walked out and questioned: "Mabutang, the loss of Hami has a great impact on the morale of the Northwest Army. Do you think the small Turpan Khanate can withstand my Northwest Majesty?"
Zhu Youzhang looked at Li Rong with a strange look.
Perhaps he does not support Li Rong's radical view very much.
Then Zhu Youting looked at Zhang Yanling and said, "Brother Jianchang, what do you think about this?"
The emperor asked for military strategies, and it was reasonable to ask the Minister of War. Zhang Yanling...
Even if he did find information that no one in the court had found before, it was very likely that the blind cat met a dead mouse.
Do you think too highly of him now?
Zhang Yanling walked out of Xu Pu again and sorted out his court uniform to make himself look more formal.
The minister next to him probably was stuttering and saying that he didn't understand, just waiting for Zhang Yanling to make up a fool of himself, but Zhang Yanling said with a relaxed look: "What I see is similar to Ma Shangshu. The military situation in the northwest is chaotic, and it is indeed not suitable to immediately start a war."
Everyone thought he could say something, but what he heard was Zhang Yanling following Ma Wensheng's words.
