Jinyi Town Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 823 The Final Confrontation
He Liu came to Chengtian Gate.The eyes of all the officials were fixed on the flying fish suit on his body and the embroidered spring knife on his waist.

The Ming Dynasty paid the most attention to etiquette.When officials enter the palace, they must wear official uniforms that match their status to be considered polite.

The officials were puzzled: Master Liu is the Minister of Rongzheng, why did he enter the palace wearing a flying fish suit today?And also wearing an embroidered spring knife?Entering the palace with a knife is treason!
Zhang Jing walked up to He Liu and sneered: "He Liu, did you go crazy after being hit on the head by a brick from Deshengmen? How solemn is it that the emperor announced that all his ministers entered the palace today? You are wearing this nondescript dress Flying fish suit? Still carrying a knife? Could it be that you want to rebel?"

He Liu and Zhang Jing exchanged glances.For some reason, Zhang Jing shivered in fright from He Liu's gaze.

From He Liu's eyes, Zhang Jing saw the murderous intent!
Zhang Jing subconsciously took a step back: "Wei Zhongxian, take He Liu down. He wants to plot rebellion."

Contrary to Zhang Jing's expectations, Wei Zhongxian, who has been respectful to him these days, said loudly: "Eunuch Zhang, the sixth master is a veteran of the three dynasties. To arrest him, the emperor's clear order is needed."

Zhang Jing turned his head and looked at Wei Zhongxian with surprised eyes: "How dare you not listen to me?"

Wei Zhongxian ignored Zhang Jing.He said to He Liu: "Six Lord, it is indeed against the rules to enter the palace with a sword."

He Liudao: "Then trouble Eunuch Wei and ask the emperor to allow me to enter the palace with a sword."

Wei Zhongxian cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Sixth Master."

Zhang Jing yelled hysterically: "Wait! The emperor may issue an order to kill you, an old man with a heart of treason, on the spot!"

He Liu straightened his back and looked down at Zhang Jing who was half a head shorter than him: "Whether the emperor will kill me or you today is still unknown."

Zhang Jing felt guilty for a while.He knew that He Liu must have a reason for saying this.However, he refused to lose money: "Then let's ride a donkey and read the libretto, we'll see."

After a few sticks of incense, Wei Zhongxian came back.He said in a loud voice: "The emperor gave an order, Zhun Rongzheng Shangshu congratulates the flying fish, and Pei Xiuchun enters the palace."

Zhang Jing was stunned, and there was an ominous premonition in his heart.

The ministers entered the palace through Chengtian Gate and entered Yongshou Palace on foot.

The main hall of Yongshou Palace.

Emperor Wanli sat on the dragon chair and asked, "What are you going to do today?"

When He Liu heard the words, he was the first to leave the class: "Report to the emperor, I want to impeach one person."

Zhang Jing's heart skipped a beat: Could it be that He Liu caught me because I was cheating on the officials?He Liu challenged me by discussing matters in front of the hall?

Emperor Wanli asked, "Oh? Who did He Aiqing join?"

He Liu held the memorial high above his head: "I want to participate in the command of Jin Yiwei, Zhang Xun!"

Zhang Jing was puzzled at first: This old man didn't join me, but my second brother?

Immediately, Zhang Jing was relieved: It must be that this old man knew that participating could not defeat me, so he turned to participating in my second brother to vent his anger.

Emperor Wanli said: "I won't read Zhezi, tell me why you joined Zhang Xun."

He Liudao: "Zhang Xun is a member of Jinyiwei, and belongs to the emperor's domestic slave. However, he oppressed the imperial family and tried to forcefully marry Li Jiaoer, the daughter of Marquis Wuqing. A domestic slave marrying golden branches and jade leaves is a crime of oppressing the royal family and a great disrespect." !"

Zhang Jing let out a long breath, and said in his heart: He Liu, He Liu, you are really confused.You can bring this trivial matter to Yongshou Palace to talk about it?Don't say that you can't defeat me, the supervisor of ceremonies, you can't even defeat my second brother!You wait for me, and tomorrow I will let my speech officer drown you with a book.This is called coming but not going indecently.

Emperor Wanli looked at He Liu uncertainly: "Is this true?"

Zhang Jing came out of work and said good things for his younger brother: "Your Majesty, what He Liu said is purely false. That's right, Zhang Xun is indeed engaged to the lady of Wuqinghou's family. But this is what the two families are willing to do." It's a matter. Please enlighten the emperor!"

As a marquis, Li Gao was also on the agenda of Yongshou Palace.He suddenly got out of class and fell to his knees, tears streaming down his face: "Your Majesty, you have to be the master of this subject!"

Emperor Wanli asked: "Uncle Guo, what are you doing?"

Li Gao cried loudly: "Woooooo! Your majesty, Jiaoer is only 15 years old, she is the emperor's cousin! No matter how foolish I am, I won't marry her to a 40-year-old old man's slave! Zhang Xun is Zhang Xun. Father-in-law's younger brother. Now Eunuch Zhang is in charge of the supervisor, the factory guard, and even the cabinet. Zhang Xun said, if I don't marry my daughter to him, he will ask Eunuch Zhang to take action and wear shoes for my ministers! "

Wanli Emperor Longyan was furious: "Zhang Xun should be killed! He even insulted my uncle!"

Zhang Jing was dumbfounded.Didn't your old uncle take the initiative to find this marriage?Why are you hitting back now?
Zhang Jing said: "Your Majesty, the marriage was proposed by the old uncle. Zhang Xun did not threaten him. He... This is a false accusation of a good person. Ah, Wei Zhongxian can testify. It was the old uncle who asked Wei Zhongxian , this marriage with the Zhang family."

Emperor Wanli asked Wei Zhongxian, "Is that so?"

Wei Zhongxian launched a defection at the most critical moment!

He replied loudly: "Report to the emperor. The servant was forced by Zhang Xun to be the matchmaker of the two families. It is also true that Zhang Xun uttered wild words and threatened the old uncle. When he said those treacherous threats, the servant Right next to you, you can testify!"

Zhang Jing raised his head and glared at Wei Zhongxian.He wished he could chop this treacherous servant in front of him into pieces!

Zhang Jing turned his head and looked at his other officer, Zhao Min, the right capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.He hoped that Zhao Min could say something nice for him.

Zhao Min understood it, and went out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to play!"

Emperor Wanli said, "What's the matter?"

Zhao Mindao: "An old saying goes: Elder brother is like a father. There is another old saying: It is the father's fault to raise and not teach. Zhang Xun is a rebellious man who insulted the royal family. The crime is unforgivable. Zhang Jing, as his elder brother, also has lax teaching. The crime. Please punish the emperor together!"

Zhang Jing was dumbfounded!He didn't expect that two of the three major generals in his hands turned against him today!
After a while, he comforted himself again: The emperor gave me all the power of government and government, how much trust does he have in me?How could the old man hold my elder brother accountable for my second brother's mistake?Zhang Xun is Zhang Xun, I am me.

How could Zhang Jing think that Emperor Wanli gave him such power not because he trusted him, but because he wanted to kill him.

Zhang Jing made a decisive decision and decided to abandon the pawns to save the car: "Your Majesty, the servants don't know about Zhang Xun's oppression of the royal family. However, according to the old uncle and Wei Zhongxian, it seems that this is true. The servants are willing to follow the example of the ancient virtuous ministers and kill the relatives righteously! Personally Supervise and kill Zhang Xun, a rebellious and unscrupulous person!"

At this moment, Zhang Jing's third officer, Liao Zhang, the commanding officer of the Shenji Battalion, spoke up.

Liao Zhang said: "Your Majesty, my lords. According to the rules of Yongshou Palace, if there is no war, generals are not allowed to speak. However, what He Laoshangshu played has filled the general with righteous indignation. The general will have a word, and he will not vomit!"

Emperor Wanli said: "Say."

Liao Zhangdao: "Eunuch Zhang is quite talented in governance, and he is loyal to the country. Otherwise, the emperor would not have entrusted him with the supervisor of ceremonies."

Zhang Jing was overjoyed: Liao Zhang is still a conscientious person.In an emergency, he stood up and spoke for me.

Unexpectedly, Liao Zhang changed the subject: "However, what Zhao Duyuan said is right. An elder brother is like a father. It is the fault of the father if he does not raise him! Zhang Xun committed the crime of deceiving the sky. The emperor wants to punish Zhang Xun. crime, but also punish Eunuch Zhang for the crime of lax discipline, so as to show a light punishment."

Zhang Jing suddenly discovered that his three major generals were all on He Liu's side!
