Domineering Daming

On the other side of the wing, a guard rushed in and shouted, "My lord, my lord, it's okay, it's okay..."

Zhang Heming was counting the goods "robbed" yesterday, when he heard this, he snorted coldly: "There is no rule, just clap your mouth!"

Knowing Zhang Shangshu's temper, the guard quickly slapped his mouth and said anxiously: "My lord, His Royal Highness King Hui has barged in."

"King Hui?" Zhang Heming was stunned for a moment before thinking of this person, and he quickly connected things together, his brows couldn't help but frown.They just took Zhang Guoji here, and they haven't had time to concoct evidence and memorials.Now His Royal Highness Prince Hui is bringing people here, is it the Empress Dowager's intention?

Not long after, Zhang Heming strode into the lobby, and shouted from a distance: "Your Majesty Zhang Heming, I have seen His Royal Highness Hui Wang."

Holding the teacup, Zhu Xu rubbed it lightly, looking at Zhang Heming in front of him.

Already an old man of seventy-seven years old, with a thin face and a strong expression, he bowed his waist slightly and raised his hands in worship.

If we say that the Shangshu lord in history was also a strange person, he pointed fingers at the affairs of Liaodong, looked down on Xiong Tingbi for supporting Wang Huazhen, Wang Huazhen was mediocre, he supported him impassionedly in the court, and within a few days Wang Huazhen abandoned Guangning and fled.

Feeling ashamed, he asked himself to be sent to the frontier, but he didn't dare to go, and when he reached Shanhaiguan, he dared not go any further.

He also flattered Wei Zhongxian, and was able to travel north and south, and his official career was prosperous. He successively served as Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Minister of the Ministry of War, Minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs of Nanjing, and so on.Until Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, was impeached, and feared to resign.

When he returned home, Li Zicheng attacked the city. At the age of 84, he took his brothers and family to the city wall, and they all died in battle!

Chapter 66 Confrontation

Zhu Xu looked at him, sipped a cup of tea lightly, and said lightly: "Master Zhang, the tea in the Ministry of War is all old tea, right? Come to my place in a few days, my king has tribute tea from the empress, how much will I give you?" catty."

Zhang Heming had already guessed Zhu Xu's reason for coming, listening to his words, his brows were slightly frowned.

But after all, he is an old fritter who has been in the officialdom for a long time. He raised his head and looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Thank you for your kindness, my official is clean and honest. This kind of tea is just right, tribute tea should be used by the emperor."

Zhu Xu raised his brows, is this an open challenge to me?

He looked up at Zhang Heming, the corners of his mouth curled up, with a faint smile.

Zhang Heming had already made a plan in his heart, no matter whether His Royal Highness Hui Wang was sent by the empress or not, leading troops into the military headquarters without authorization is a big "criminal evidence", and even the draft in his heart has already been prepared.

The hall was very strange, Zhu Xu smiled and said nothing, Zhang Heming was holding the winning ticket, no one opened his mouth, and the quiet needle drop could be heard.

And at this moment, behind the lobby, a middle-aged man with an elegant expression, dressed in a blue robe, walked over quietly, sat down silently and turned his ear to the wall, listening quietly.

After a long time, Zhang Heming was old and couldn't bear it anymore.He looked up at Zhu Xu, with a trace of impatience deliberately showing on his face, and said, "I don't know what orders my Highness has from the Ministry of War?"

Zhu Xu picked up the teacup again, and said with a light smile, "I want to change the tea for my lord."

Looking at the calm Zhu Xu, Zhang Heming suddenly felt that something was wrong, but no matter what, he was not afraid of Zhu Xu with the handle in his hand, and said with a rather rigid face: "I don't bother His Highness Hui Wang about the affairs of the Ministry of War. I'm worried."

"Your Highness, the man has been found."

As soon as Zhang Heming finished speaking, a big internal guard rushed to report.Afterwards, a row of inner guards escorted Zhang Guoji and walked in.

When Zhang Guoji saw that the young His Royal Highness King Hui was sitting in the lobby, he was startled, and hurried over and said, "His Royal Highness Hui..."

Zhu Xu saw that he was just a little embarrassed, and there was no other serious problem, so he waved his hand and said with a smile: "My lord, sit down a moment, my king and Zhang Shangshu have something to talk about."

Zhang Guoji looked at Zhu Xu in a daze, and the queen empress told him more than once that His Royal Highness King Hui was very young and extremely intelligent. Did he get the queen's permission to come this time?

If the excuses of foreign relatives intervening in politics or the vassal king's arbitrariness were caught by the foreign ministers, it would be another blame.

He opened his mouth to say something, but saw Zhu Xu standing up, looking at Zhang Heming, and said with dignity in his indifference: "Zhang Shangshu, do you know what kind of crime it is to secretly convict the Duke of the dynasty and conspire against others?"

Zhang Heming held the winning ticket, glanced at Zhang Guoji, and said indifferently: "His Royal Highness Hui Wang is wrong, Zhang Guogong was just arrested by mistake, and this king is preparing to personally send him back."

Zhu Xu hated this kind of self-confident old bureaucrat the most, smiled lightly, and said: "Since Mr. Zhang said so, this king will believe it. But privately detaining the prince of the dynasty is like rebellion, and it is not something that this king can just believe. .”

Zhang Heming looked up at Zhu Xu, and just about to refute, Zhu Xu shouted loudly to the guards not far behind him: "Come here, according to the king's order, notify the other five ministers, the imperial censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, The Minister of Dali Temple, the Minister of General Affairs, and the cabinet. For example, Zhang Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and a group of people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, privately detained the empress's biological father, Zhang Guogong, in order to falsely accuse the empress and shake the palace. It is tantamount to rebellion. Let them come See this king in the lobby of the Ministry of War, and deal with it together."

As soon as Zhu Xu's words fell, Zhang Heming suddenly burst into anger, pointed at Zhu Xu and said angrily, "His Royal Highness Hui, you are making a false accusation, the vassal king falsely accused the important ministers of the court, are you not afraid that I will sue you in front of the emperor? "

As soon as Zhu Xu stretched out his hand, he took the herbal book drafted by the Metropolitan Procuratorate from Cao Wenzhao, handed it to Zhang Heming, and said, "Master Zhang, do you want to read it?"

Zhang Heming stretched out his hand to take it, and said with a sneer, "His Royal Highness Hui Wang, I will never stop doing today's matter, and I will certainly refer to you again and again in the court meeting with the emperor."

"Master Zhang might as well take a look first." Zhu Xu folded his hands behind his back, his expression getting colder and colder.

Zhang Heming glanced at Zhu Xu, opened the folder and looked at it, his expression changed slightly.

This is an excerpt drafted by the Metropolitan Procuratorate to impeach Zhang Guoji. Most importantly, under the excerpt, there is a list of all the people who are going to be jointly impeached this time!

Seeing Zhang Heming's changing expression, Zhu Xu sneered and said, "Master Zhang, now you still say that you didn't premeditate?"

The corners of Zhang Heming's face twitched slightly, he hated the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate to death for doing things so carelessly, which made people catch him.

However, in his opinion, the crime of trespassing into the military department by the vassal king is even greater. Looking at Zhu Xu, he sneered and said, "His Royal Highness, I don't care where you found this thing, I will deny it at all. You are here today Chuang Bingbu must explain clearly in front of the emperor."

Zhu Xu looked at Zhang Heming who was messing around and refused to admit it, and finally knew in his heart that there would be something inexplicable like a court stick above the court.

No fight!

But Zhu Xu didn't intend to tangle with him, so he took a step back and sat on the chair, waiting for the reply letter from those people.

Zhang Heming saw that Zhu Xu was not chasing and beating him fiercely, so he calmed down a bit, thinking about how to erase the influence of this book and continue their plan.

"grown ups."

Behind the lobby, a middle-aged man in a fifth-rank official uniform walked to Sun Chengzong's side with tea and whispered.

Sun Chengzong nodded slightly, took the teacup, sat on the chair, sipped the tea, and listened outside with his ears up.

In the lobby, everyone had their own concerns and no one spoke, but the middle-aged man behind the lobby looked at Sun Chengzong and said in a low voice, "My lord, how should we end this matter?"

Sun Chengzong is one of the representatives of Donglin Party, he shook his head slightly.

The middle-aged man understood that they only knew about this matter and did not participate in it. Now that His Royal Highness King Hui has caught the handle, they can no longer come forward.

After a long time, the guards sent out came to report one after another.

"Reporting to Your Highness, the Ministry of Officials replied that they have no right to deal with it, and should be dealt with by the Ministry of Punishment."

"Reporting to Your Highness, the Criminal Department replied that this matter should be handed over to Dali Temple for trial."

"Reporting to Your Highness, Dali Temple replied that this matter should be judged by His Majesty and handed over to the three divisions for trial."

"Reporting to Your Highness, the cabinet will reply, and there will be a court meeting to make a decision."

"Report to Your Highness, the Ministry of Rites will reply..."

Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged when he heard the uninterrupted reports, but in fact, he had expected that as long as he was a little smarter, he would not get involved at this time, and he showed their ability to evade to the fullest.

But Zhu Xu would not let them evade it so easily. Looking at Zhang Heming, he smiled slightly and said, "Master Zhang, what else do you have to say?"
