Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

"What did you say?!"

"Then Cao Cao cheated in the examination room?! Did he get the number one scholar by deceit? He didn't even have a reputation as a scholar?!"

Zhu Youjian's face flushed red with excitement when he heard the good news from Wang Chengen!
Good news, great news!

The No. [-] scholar in the second year of the apocalypse turned out to be obtained by fraud, in fact, he didn't even have the reputation of a scholar!

Such a person actually mixed into the court, stood with all the princes in a dignified manner, and even became the chief assistant of the cabinet of Ming Dynasty, presiding over the new policies and laws, this is a joke!
Zhu Youjian couldn't bear the excitement in his heart. He felt that he had grasped Zhang Haogu's handle. As long as it was confirmed that everything about Zhang Haogu was fraudulent, all of Zhang Haogu's achievements could be vetoed !

A son of a merchant who has no reputation as a scholar, an ignorant person who is attached to the eunuch party, and a flatterer who only knows strange skills and tricks, is he worthy of being the chief assistant of Ming Dynasty, and worthy of being famous forever?
Zhang Haogu, let me die!
"What else Wei Zhongxian recruited, please submit them!" Zhu Youjian hurriedly asked Wang Chengen to submit all the confessions. He couldn't wait to know how Zhang Haogu cheated back then.

Soon, Wei Zhongxian's statement of guilt was presented, and Zhu Youjian became more and more excited as he watched it: "Well, Zhang Haogu really hooked up with that old dog Wei Zhongxian back then, and it turned out that this old dog Wei Zhongxian took the place for him. After receiving the name card, the examiners Zhang Ruitu and Wang Zhijian jointly cheated for him, and Shandong Xuezheng Lu Guangshen fabricated a false name."

"Okay, okay, really good!"

Wang Chengen looked at Zhu Youjian with some fear, was the emperor dumbfounded?

Suddenly, Zhu Youjian thought of a question: "This matter was co-organized by Wei Zhongxian, Zhang Ruitu, Wang Zhijian and Lu Guangshen to fool the court. Now Wei Zhongxian is in prison, Zhang Ruitu is in Liaodong, Wang Zhijian and Lu Guangshen are dead again , How can Wei Zhongxian prove that Cao Cao cheated in the imperial examination?"

That's right, there are four people in total, one is in Liaodong, two are dead, and the remaining one is in prison. If someone says that you were tortured into a trick, you have no room to refute. After all, Wei Zhongxian is really sick all over his body now. It is hurt.

When Zhu Youjian frowned and thought deeply, a young eunuch suddenly ran up to Wang Chengen's ear and said a few words, and Wang Chengen's eyes lit up: "My lord, Wei Zhongxian said, Lu Guangshen is not dead, Lu Guangshen was hidden by him Already!"

"Lu Guangshen isn't dead?!" Zhu Youjian could only feel his heart going up and down, this up and down feeling was really testing.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Youjian became habitually suspicious again: "Why didn't Lu Guangshen die? According to Cao Cao's temperament, he would let such a scourge stay outside?"

"Isn't this the bait that the living Cao Cao left for me to take the opportunity to harm me?!"

Wang Chengen quickly said: "Your Majesty, it was Lu Guangshen who Wei Zhongxian left behind to protect himself. He was afraid that he would not end well if he turned against Zhang Haogu later, so he left such a pawn."

Zhu Youjian was stunned when he heard it: "It turns out that Cao Cao and Wei Zhongxian are also intrigues. I thought that the Datong Party was a monolith."

"Quick, hurry up and bring Lu Guangshen to me, I have to ask him carefully!"

Soon, Lu Guangshen, the former Shandong Xuezheng who had been hidden by Wei Zhongxian, was brought to Zhu Youjian. When You Jian was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the dragon chair, Lu Guangshen was completely stunned.

"Lu Guangshen, the late emperor died of illness a long time ago, why don't you worship the new emperor soon?" Wang Chengen shouted.

Lu Guangshen was stunned for a moment, then immediately knelt down on the ground and kowtowed nine times: "The guilty minister Lu Guangshen, kowtow to Your Majesty!"

Zhu Youjian nodded, and said: "The late emperor died of illness, and before the Daxing, he made a will, and the brothers will end up with each other. I will inherit the Datong and continue the Great Tomorrow."

"Since I came to the throne, I have looked through the old cases and found a strange thing. Can Lu Xuezheng clear up my confusion?"

As he said that, Zhu Youjian motioned, and immediately a young eunuch handed over Wei Zhongxian's statement of indictment. Lu Guangshen looked at it and his hands trembled. That Eunuch Wei, who had power over the government, actually collapsed? !

In an instant, Lu Guangshen keenly sensed a piece of news with his political consciousness of so many years of official career, that is, the current emperor is different from the late emperor. and!

Thinking of this, Lu Guangshen knelt down and cried, "Your Majesty, I was forced to do something wrong. I was forced to do something wrong by Zhang Ruitu and Wang Zhijian!"

After hearing Lu Guangshen's confession, Zhu Youjian suppressed the excitement in his heart and comforted him: "I understand, I know that you have been wronged, write down everything you know, and I will allow you to make meritorious deeds!"

Soon Lu Guangshen gave a clear account of what happened back then. Compared with Wei Zhongxian's criminal evidence, there is almost no difference. The few differences are also caused by the difference in information and understanding between the two.

This is normal, and even these few differences prove that these two people are not lying.

After thinking that he had obtained decisive evidence that could destroy Zhang Haogu, Zhu Youjian immediately summoned the cabinet ministers.

Qian Qianyi, the chief assistant of the cabinet, Sun Chengzong, the second assistant of the cabinet, Wen Tiren, Shi Fenglai, Yang Changsi, Liu Hongxun, and Qiao Yunsheng, the cabinet scholars, quickly arrived. Lu Guangshen's incriminating statement was shown to these court elders.

"Look at it all, look at it all, this is the former Chief Assistant of Daming, this is the great hero of the Tianqi Dynasty, look at it all!"

Looking at the criminal evidence, the elders couldn't help but frown. The criminal evidence seems to be true, but what's the use?
"How does Your Majesty want to deal with this matter?" Qian Qianyi asked.

Zhu Youjian said: "Naturally, it will be announced to the world, and then Zhang Haogu will be arrested and brought to Beijing for strict investigation!"

Qian Qianyi said very bluntly: "Your Majesty, it's easy to tell the world, but it's hard to arrest him and bring him to Beijing. What's more, Your Majesty, once you tell the world, it will damage the wisdom of the late emperor."

The late emperor was wise?

How wise is the first emperor? If he was really wise, he shouldn't have believed in that living Cao Cao!

Zhu Youjian really wanted to say that, but Wen Tiren quickly reminded: "The late emperor's last edict, brother and brother, ordered His Majesty to inherit the great line."

In one sentence, Zhu Youjian's full of complaints were blocked back.

Yes, Zhu Youxiao handed over the throne to Zhu Youjian, and handed over the great tomorrow and inheritance to Zhu Youjian. Brothers and younger brothers, they are all famous in ancient and modern times. Therefore, the first emperor must be wise, because the first emperor gave the throne to Zhu Youjian. It's in your hands.

If there are accusations and influences on the late emperor at this time, how should Zhu Youjian deal with himself?

How should people in the world treat Zhu Youjian?

Alright, your brother handed over the position of emperor to you, and let you and your heirs inherit Guozuo. It's only been a few years, and you're going to discredit the late emperor?
Zhu Youjian can imagine the scene where people all over the world have different opinions.

When Emperor Yingzong returned from studying in Wala, he was imprisoned by Daizong. Why was Yingzong restored smoothly?
Not only because Daizong has no heirs, but also because Yingzong is the designated successor of Xuanzong, Daizong can be seen from this title as a substitute; therefore, Yingzong's restoration is logical and in line with the legal system.

And if Zhu Youxiao hadn't handed over the throne to Zhu Youjian before, no one would be able to say what the problem was, but Zhu Youxiao did this, whether it was because he didn't want other vassal kings to replace his ancestral temple or for whatever reason, Zhu Youxiao The prosecutor must admit that everything Zhu Youxiao has done is legal and valid, otherwise it will be a question of his own orthodox status.

After thinking about this point, Zhu Youjian hesitated. This matter is not only related to Zhang Haogu, but many evidences point to the former emperor Zhu Youxiao. It seems that Zhu Youxiao took the initiative to cheat Zhang Haogu. If this The incident got out and affected Zhu Youxiao's reputation.
"Why does Your Majesty insist on attacking Liaodong? The current imperial court's henchman's trouble is Ganshan." Sun Chengzong was very puzzled.

Zhu Youjian snorted coldly: "The imperial court's confidant is really Ganshan? The thief in Liaodong has repeatedly deceived me. Are you going to lie to me too? Can't I see the problem of Ganshan? It is clearly Liaodong Zhang. The thieves are instigating behind the scenes, otherwise how could the situation in Gansu and Shanxi become so corrupt?"

"If Zhang Thief is not dealt with, how will Ganshan be dealt with, and how will the turmoil in the world be quelled?"

Qian Qianyi said: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because of this that the imperial court cannot easily attack Liaodong. The two sides are not at war yet, and there is still a layer of paper between them. As long as this layer of paper is not broken, the world will still be as strong as gold tomorrow, and the imperial court will still be a majestic court. "

"But Your Majesty, once this layer of paper is pierced and the people of the world realize that there is a gap between the imperial court and Liaodong, the people of the world will really change their minds, and the world will definitely be in chaos at that time."

Sun Chengzong added: "Your Majesty, you must not be impulsive. Now that the imperial court and Liaodong have not officially broken their faces, there is still room for redemption. As long as the imperial court does not take the initiative to act, Liaodong has no reason to act. Otherwise, it will really give Liaodong an excuse. The tiger and wolf masters in Liaodong are knocking off the pass, and the northern border town of the imperial court is bound to be in danger."

Listening to Qian Qianyi and Sun Chengzong's persuasion, Zhu Youjian knew that what they said made sense, but Zhu Youjian just didn't want to listen to it now, he didn't want to be patient, he didn't want to watch Zhang Haogu continue to live comfortably in Liaodong. Shu Tantan, but here he was worrying about a tael of silver, worrying about Daming.

"If I insist on doing this, do you still want to resist the order?" Zhu Youjian's words chilled Qian Qianyi's heart.

It stands to reason that the chief assistant of the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty is qualified to resist the imperial edict, and the cabinet does not need to be sealed after the emperor's imperial edict is issued, so that the emperor's imperial edict can be counted as invalid.

But how many cabinet ministers in the Ming Dynasty had such power?
It's nothing more than Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Haogu.

And what will happen to Zhang Juzheng, and what will happen to Zhang Haogu?
The chief minister of the cabinet, it is said that Po Datian is the emperor’s secretary-general. A powerful chief minister with the support of ministers and the army can certainly claim to be the prime minister and the emperor’s best, but Qian Qianyi is not such a chief minister of the cabinet.

What's more, Wen Tiren, Yang Changsi, and Shi Fenglai fought against him one by one, which severely challenged Qian Qianyi's prestige as the chief assistant, and the army was under the control of nobles. How can he get tough with a party member who can get it?

So Qian Qianyi was silent.

But Sun Chengzong still said: "The veteran still hopes that His Majesty will not be impulsive, it is better to make a decision after careful consideration."

Zhu Youjian said impatiently: "I have already thought twice and twice! This is so old, I can't stand it for a moment!"

"I will never allow an organization like the Datong Party to exist in the Ming Dynasty. If Zhang Haogu doesn't disband the Datong Society and disband the army, how can I tolerate him!"

As he said that, Zhu Youjian looked at Qian Qianyi and Sun Chengzong coldly, "I will reveal the truth to all my lovers today, and I will make a decree to announce it to the world in the early morning of tomorrow. If anyone blocks me, I will beg for my own bones! "

After all, Zhu Youjian left with his hands behind his back, Qian Qianyi and Sun Chengzong looked at each other, both of them knew that in Zhu Youjian's eyes, they only had the role of being a blocker.

How long can the first and second assistants, who are regarded as obstacles by the emperor, survive?
The next day, Zhu Youjian ordered Wei Zhongxian and Lu Guangshen to be brought up in the court hall, and asked them to explain the situation back then, but Zhu Youjian still had to lose face and deliberately concealed that it was Zhu Youxiao who took the initiative to cheat Zhang Haogu This matter changed the matter to the fact that Wei Zhongxian, Zhang Ruitu, Wang Zhixin and Lu Guangshen jointly deceived the top and bottom to give Zhang Haogu fame and identity, and gave Zhang Haogu the answer and template, which made Zhang Haogu To become the number one scholar, the late emperor Zhu Youxiao was deceived by Zhang Haogu.

Looking at Wei Zhongxian and Lu Guangshen's confessions, the ministers couldn't help but think of the earth-shattering Zhang Haogu imperial examination fraud case during the Tianqi Dynasty. For a while, everyone felt that the storm was about to come.

Sun Chengzong still wanted to go out, but Qian Qianyi grabbed his hand. Before Sun Chengzong could speak, Qian Qianyi said: "It is useless to talk too much. Your Majesty insists on going to war. How can a courtier disobey the imperial decree?"

Sun Chengzong was stunned for a moment, and sighed wistfully. Originally, Daming was a plate that was torn apart and healed. Now this plate is about to be split again.

When Zhang Haogu's imperial examination fraud case was rediscovered and made known to the world, the world fell into a strange silence. All the caring people, noble gentry, officials and students all stared at the imperial court and Liaodong.

No one knows how much trouble will be caused by this big case initiated by Zhu Youjian, let alone where Daming will go today.

Even Jinling, Suzhou and Hangzhou, which are famous for their feasting and feasting, are the headlines on the front page of the gold-selling caves in the southern lands, which is enough to show how many people in the world have been affected by this big case.

Soon, Zhu Youjian ordered Jin Yiwei to bring Zhang Haogu back to the capital for trial. At the same time, Zhang Haogu was dismissed as Taishi and Taiwei, the King of Liao was abolished, and all treatment was banned. The party members quit the society and the party on their own, otherwise they will be attacked by the court.

When the news reached Liaodong, Zhang Haogu just smiled indifferently in the face of the news that made the world uproar: "Oh, I see."

"Yuanfu doesn't seem surprised." Lu Xiangsheng was a little surprised.

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "What's so surprising, Zhu Youjian wanted to catch me for a day or two? Back then, I advised Eunuch Wei to either retire as soon as possible or come to Liaodong to take care of his life."

"He chose to continue to work for Zhu Youjian in the capital. I knew at the time that this day would come sooner or later. Eunuch Wei has been Zhu Youjian's white gloves for the past few years, and in exchange for a dead end, it is not worth it. I know how Eunuch Wei thinks."

Zhang Ruitu smiled bitterly and said, "My Yuanfu, now that your imperial examination fraud case has been uncovered again, and the whole world is staring at it, do you still have the mood to pay attention to others?"

Zhang Haogu spread his hands: "The imperial examination fraud case was not brought up once. I was investigated once before, and now if I investigate again, what can be found different? It is nothing more than a result that satisfies the imperial court."

"Even if Zhu Youjian wants to withdraw my prince and official, so what? Am I not the former chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty? Didn't I bring new policies and laws to the world, and ten years of peace and prosperity? ?”

"Even if I am not the king of Liao, I am not the grand master or captain of the dynasty, but I am still the president of the Datong Society, and the Yuanfu of the Datong Party. The members of the Datong Party come together because of the same aspirations and ideals, and for the sake of the people of the world. How could it fall apart just because of an imperial decree?"

"It's better to say, I'm looking forward to seeing what Zhu Youjian will do next."

More than ten days later, the court's angels arrived in Liaodong.

In the long line, besides the eunuch delivering the decree, there are also a large number of Jinyiwei and Dongchang Tiqi. These people entered Shenyang in a mighty manner, but they attracted the attention of the people of Shenyang.

When these people entered the former Manchu Qing imperial city and now the center of the Datong Society, they unceremoniously occupied an important place.

Groups of royal guards in brightly colored flying fish suits, holding embroidered spring knives, stood majestically inside and outside the Fengtian Hall, and the eunuchs, wearing red python suits, screamed high above: "The imperial decree has arrived, Zhang Haogu accepts the decree!"

Zhang Haogu looked at the eunuch calmly, and passed the order to the eunuch to look at Zhang Haogu, who was also wearing a red dragon suit, and then at the famous former civil servants and military generals of the Ming Dynasty on both sides of Zhang Haogu, suddenly a little scared, but thinking of himself However, he still said stiffly: "Sinner Zhang Haogu, the imperial decree has arrived, why don't you kneel down to accept the decree?!"

Zhang Haogu waved his hand: "It's okay to kneel down to accept the order. What Zhu Youjian wants to say, father-in-law can say it directly, we are all listening."

"Bold!" A Jinyiwei hundred households yelled angrily.

"You are the one who is bold, who gave you the courage to act presumptuously in front of Yuanfu!" Tian Ergeng came out unceremoniously, and directly slapped the Jinyiwei Baihu back.

Looking at these Jin Yiwei with unkind eyes, Tian Ergeng snorted coldly: "You are also worthy of wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives now? How did I hear that Jin Yiwei has become the dog of those sanctimonious hypocrites of the Donglin Party?"

"When the dog of the Donglin Party comes to Datong Party to bark, have you forgotten who is in front of you?"

The guards in Jinyi really didn't dare to talk back after Tian Ergeng's call, and then Tian Ergeng looked at the eunuch who delivered the decree, and frightened the eunuch: "You, what are you going to do? I represent the imperial court. !"

"Hmph, it's just that the clothes you wear are not comfortable, how can you deserve to wear this python suit?!" Tian Ergeng said disdainfully.

Being disturbed by Tian Ergeng, and stared at by the civil servants and military generals of the big party around him, the eunuch passing the decree has no momentum, and the original sense of superiority in his heart has disappeared. After hastily reading the imperial decree, he looked at Zhang Haogu : "Zhang Haogu, accept the order."

Huang Zongxi quickly stepped forward and took the imperial edict from the hand of the eunuch passing the edict, then turned around and handed it to Zhang Haogu.

Zhang Haogu took the imperial decree and said immediately: "I will accept this imperial decree. I will trouble my eunuch to go back and talk to the emperor, just say, I understand."
