Chapter 178: The Conspiracy in the Court II

Sighing deeply, Emperor Tianqi worked hard to calm down his mood, suppressing the urge to pull this guy out, and then said calmly: "I wonder what you all, dear friends, think about this?"

The atmosphere in the hall seemed a little strange. Everyone had different expressions on their faces. They were all looking at each other, and no one stood up to speak. Among these people, some were angry, some were excited, and some were expressionless.

Inscrutable appearance.

Looking at the expressions of the ministers below, Emperor Tianqi felt a headache. This was all in the past. Why bring him out? Looking at the censor with a low eyebrow, Emperor Tianqi couldn't help but feel angry.

Before the matter was understood, the matter of the dead man was revealed again.

"Your Majesty, I have this to say!" Just when the atmosphere in the hall was a little depressing, a person stood up and broke the embarrassing situation. Countless voices of relief suddenly came from the hall, but everyone

Everyone is curious, who is this person?

Turning his eyes on the speaker's face, Emperor Tianqi looked this person up and down, but found that he was not very familiar and couldn't remember his name. Judging from his clothes, he should be from Honglu Temple, or a young minister.

Although he didn't know the name of this person, Emperor Tianqi could only say in a deep voice: "Since I have something to say, please say it!"

"Your Majesty, I think what Zou Yushi said is reasonable. Zhang Juzheng is a rare traitor in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, Wanli was broad-minded and did not punish this man severely. I would like to ask your Majesty to open his coffin and whip his body!"

You are not welcome. He stood in the main hall and saluted Emperor Tianqi and said loudly.

After this person finished speaking, several more people stood up in the hall, and their words were even more unbearable, but there was only one subject, and that was Zhang Juzheng. They wanted to open Zhang Juzheng's coffin and whip Zhang Juzheng's body, and they said it one by one.

They were gnashing their teeth, as if Zhang Juzheng had a grudge against them for killing his father and seizing his wife.

At this time, there were three frowning people in the hall, one of whom was Emperor Tianqi. He now felt that there was nothing unusual. Zhang Juzheng was already dead, so there was no need to compete with a dead man. There must be something he didn't know about.

Seeing Emperor Tianqi's frown, Chen Hong came to Emperor Tianqi's side and whispered in Emperor Tianqi's ear: "Your Majesty, these people are all members of the Zhejiang Party."

He nodded slowly. As expected, after a period of silence, these people stood up again. Looking at the righteous face below, there was only one thing Emperor Tianqi wanted to do now.

, that is, pull out all these people and chop them down. But those who form cliques for personal gain and collude with each other, all of them will be pulled out and chopped down. Although he thought so in his heart, Emperor Tianqi knew that if he really did this, I am afraid there would really be no one in the court.

People.

There were two people left frowning, one of whom was the leader of the Zhejiang Party, Zhao Xingbang, the Minister of Household Affairs. As the leader of the Zhejiang Party in the capital, Zhao Xingbang frowned very tightly at this time, and his face was terrifyingly gloomy, because these people did

He didn't know anything about it. Of course, these Zhejiang Party officials were all marginal officials. Zhao Xingbang had no idea what they were going to do or why they were doing it.

The last person with a frown and trembling body was Guan Yingzhen, the Minister of Punishment and the leader of the Chu Party. His face was livid and his whole body was trembling. His head was lowered, he didn't speak, and he didn't look at anyone, but

The teeth clenched and made a sound.

There is only one reason why Guan Yingzhen is like this, and that is that he is from Hubei, and the basis of the Chu Party is Hubei people. This is a party composed of regions, many of them are Hubei people, and the backbone is Hubei people. It is being

Zhang Juzheng, who was said to have his grave dug up and whipped, was also from Hubei. Guan Yingzhen still remembers how much his hometown people admired Zhang Juzheng and regarded him as a hero, the pride of Hubei people!

When Guan Yingzhen was studying, his parents said that he would be like Zhang Juzheng in the future, and his husband also said that he would learn from Zhang Juzheng. The three words Zhang Juzheng were not just a simple name in Guan Yingzhen's heart.

This was his dream when he was young. He was the idol in his heart in the past, present and even in the future. At this time, hearing his ideals and idols being talked about by these people, Guan Yingli was shocked and angry.

Especially when he saw that the people who stood up were all members of the Zhejiang Party, Guan Yingzhen immediately looked at Zhao Xingbang angrily.

"Your Majesty, I have my own report!" Just when Guan Yingzhen was about to stand up, a man's voice suddenly sounded in the hall, calm and deep.

Seeing the person standing up, the hall suddenly became quiet, and no one was talking. Their faces were full of surprise and uncertainty, and they all looked at this person expectantly, wanting to see what he could say.

The person who stood up this time was an old man. Although he was not young, his momentum was not weak. He stood there with a feeling of calmness and self-reliance. Although he hadn't spoken yet, it seemed as if he had already spoken.

Seeing this person, Emperor Tianqi was also stunned, because he knew this person and was very familiar with it. This person was Li Kezhong Mei Zhihuan! Everyone knew that Mei Zhihuan was from Hubei, so he stood

There is not much to say when he comes out. But besides being a Hubei native, he also has another identity, that is, he is a member of the Donglin Party. This Mei Zhihuan, who is supposed to be a member of the Chu Party, happens to be a member of the Donglin Party.

Seeing Mei Zhihuan, Emperor Tianqi immediately sighed in his heart. It seems that this is not a simple matter! But before he knows what these people want to do, it is better not to move. He nodded slowly.

Nodding, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, Aiqing, just say it!"

"Your Majesty, I thought that Zhang Juzheng was a virtuous prime minister, and the case that year was a wrong one. Emperor Wanli was deceived, so he punished Grand Master Zhang. I ask your Majesty to re-investigate the case and clear Grand Master Zhang's innocence." I glanced at what I just said.

Among the people who were talking, Mei Zhihuan shook his sleeves fiercely and said loudly: "A bunch of clowns, if Master Zhang is still alive, how dare you do this?"

This time, the hall was really quiet, and you could hear the needle drop. There have been many people who have wanted to overturn Zhang Juzheng's case over the years, but not many people dared to do so in name, and dared to stand in the court and recite it in front of the court.

Yes, just Mei Zhihuan.

Looking at Mei Zhihuan, looking deeply at Mei Zhihuan, Emperor Tianqi slowly shook his head. If he really stood up for Zhang Juzheng, Emperor Tianqi would like this person very much. What a pity! It was just for opposition.

To object, to argue for the sake of argument.

In fact, Emperor Tianqi didn't know that Mei Zhihuan really stood up for Zhang Juzheng. He was a person with a very fierce personality. Although he was in the Donglin Party, he was not the core, and the innermost things were unacceptable to each other.

This time he stood up, but someone told him that the Donglin Party wanted to reverse the case for Zhang Juzheng, so he was the first to stand up.

Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi looked at the ministers below with a smile, and said in a deep voice: "Since you all have different opinions, let's talk about it!"

"Your Majesty, I think it's very good. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, appointed people on merit, and achieved great victory in Liaodong. There were indeed doubts about Taishi Zhang's case at that time. Lord Wanli was deceived by Xiao Xiao. I asked the emperor to issue an order to thoroughly investigate the case. Clear Taishi Zhang's innocence and punish Xiao Xiao severely.

You, please look at me and listen to me!" The Minister of War, Yao Zongwen, who stood up this time, spoke in a serious tone, with an upright look on his face.

"Your Majesty, I think what Yao Shangshu said is reasonable. The Emperor is the Lord of the Holy Ming and the King of ZTE. He should do things that no one before him dared to do. Grand Master Zhang died suddenly that year, and Xiao Xiao's disciples took the opportunity to frame Grand Master Zhang. Please investigate this matter thoroughly.

Let’s bring justice to Grand Master Zhang.” Sun Ruyou, the Minister of Rites, also stood up, saluted Emperor Tianqi, and said loudly.

"Your Majesty, when Taishi Zhang was assisting the government, the treasury was full, the army and horses were strong, and the court was in full swing. However, a young man who abandoned his official position for private purposes is a sinner through the ages. His crime is comparable to that of Qin Hui in ancient times. Your Majesty should review this case.

Clear up the name of Grand Master Zhang and let the world know that if you serve the court loyally, the court will naturally not forget it." The person who stood up this time was not as senior as the two previous ones, but his status was much higher, because this person was the Minister of Civil Affairs**

star.

Although **Xing is just a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, no one dares to underestimate him, including Emperor Tianqi himself. This **Xing's status is very special because he is the leader of the Dongling Party, that is, the spiritual leader. They founded it together back then.

In Donglin Academy, there were three people who founded the Donglin Party, namely Gu Xiancheng, Zou Yuanbiao and **xing.

At this time, Gu Xiancheng was dead, and Zou Yuanbiao went home to take care of his old age. He did not care about worldly affairs, and there was only the star above the court. It can be said that the entire power of the Donglin Party was in the hands of this old man.

Sure enough, as soon as he stood up and spoke, everyone in the court suddenly

Many people came forward. Among them were ministers, lieutenants, and middle-level officials from various ministries. Dali Temple, Honglu Temple, Duchayuan and other yamen. There were also cabinet scholar Liu Yijing, cabinet scholar Han Kuang, in short

But all the Donglin Party members in the court stood up.

Looking at the ministers below, Emperor Tianqi kept a faint smile on his face. He didn't know what the young emperor was thinking. His expression did not change at all, and there was no sign of happiness, anger, sorrow, or joy. It seemed that all this had nothing to do with him.

.

At this time, some people could no longer stand, including Ying Zhen, the Secretary of the Ministry of Justice. The leader of the Chu Party finally saw hope. He walked out quickly, picked up his clothes, knelt down slowly, and said loudly

: "Your Majesty, please thoroughly investigate the case of Grand Master Zhang. I am willing to preside over the trial!"

The officials in the court looked left and right, then looked again, and some came out. These people were from the Chu Party, and some from the Qi Party. At this time, the only ones still standing in the same place were Sun Xingbang of the Zhejiang Party and the Zhejiang Party.
