Qian Qianyi's shout reminded these kneeling civil officials.Of course, these civil officials are not so stupid, they really want to kneel here and be stabbed.Therefore, for a while, these civil officials, who had just threatened to kneel for a long time, immediately stood up and turned around to run out.For a while, in addition to some civil officials who were so frightened by this sudden scene that their legs were weak that they could not run, or those who did not run away, were killed, many civil officials also managed to escape.After all, in order to survive, they ran very actively, and they didn't dare to stop when they were out of breath.Seeing this scene, Zhu Youxiao only raised the corners of his mouth slightly, then looked at Han Yi and the others, and asked: "Now we are here to discuss this matter, that is, the death of the first emperor, many of you are old ministers of the first emperor, and you often listen to orders in front of the emperor, you should know the specific situation of the first emperor's medication, you should tell me what is going on, did Fang Congzhe kill the king?"
Tell you the truth, I will not cure your sins!
”Looking at the corpses and blood everywhere of the troublesome civil officials who had not yet been carried away, Han Yi's face was already pale.How dare he be like the civil officials who made trouble just now, saying that Fang Congzhe was a rebel who killed the monarch.After all, a fool can also see that His Majesty is trying to protect Fang Congzhe.For this reason, Han Yi fell silent and peeked at other civil officials and important ministers.Other civil officials and important ministers were also peeking at each other, and they were all the same as Han Yi, and they didn't dare to say that Fang Congzhe was a rebel who killed the monarch.But it was not easy for them to directly deny that Fang Congzhe was a rebel minister, because they knew that if they were really as flattering as Fang Congzhe and obeyed the emperor's wishes, then the group of civil officials who made trouble outside just now would not spare themselves.So, these people were silent.Zhu Youxiao knew why they were silent, so he asked in a stern tone: "Why have they all become mute?"
Don't you even dare to tell the truth?!
”After Zhu Youxiao finished asking, he looked at Han Yi: "Han Aiqing, you were a cabinet minister when you were the first emperor, you say it first." ”Han Yi shuddered, he didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to call him by name first.Therefore, Han Yi had no choice but to stand up and arch his hand: "Your Majesty, the minister remembers that the first emperor was aggravated by the red pill offered by Li Kezhuo of Honglu Temple, and at that time, not only Yuan Fu was present, but the minister and the six Shangshu and the head of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Palace, as well as Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and other ministers were all in front of the emperor, but at that time, the first emperor wanted to summon Li Kezhuo after reading Li Kezhuo's recital, and the ministers and others originally advised the first emperor, but the first emperor was in a hurry to recover, so he did not listen, and still asked to summon Li Kezhuo and let him offer red pills, and the first emperor also took the red pill he offered. ”Zhu Youxiao nodded because of this, and looked at Zhang Wenda, the secretary of the ministry: "Zhang Aiqing, you were the imperial history of Zuodu at that time, and you were also an old minister who took care of your life, what Han Aiqing said is the truth?"
”Zhang Wenda saw that Han Yi was okay after telling the truth, so naturally he didn't dare to make it up, so he hurriedly followed: "Go back to Your Majesty!"
The process before and after the delivery of the medicine, several of us have heard and witnessed it together, and what Han Gefu said is true!
However, Li Kezhuo is not a medical officer, and he is not a person who knows the pulse and understands the way of medicine, the first emperor used his medicine to collapse, if you really want to talk about the crime, Yuan Fu and our Jiuqing failed to stop it, we are both guilty!
”"Do other people who were by the Emperor's side at that time have any objections?"
Zhu Youxiao said and asked Hubu Shangshu, Wang Bianjiao and others.These people all replied: "The ministers have no objections!
”Zhu Youxiao nodded very satisfied, thinking that these Wenchen were really like this, as long as they were stronger, they would be very obedient and smart, and they knew how to answer to satisfy themselves."
That being the case, even if this case is clear, Han Aiqing, Xue Wenzhou's recital, Fang Congzhe is naturally inconvenient to vote for, then you will vote for it, and the vote will be written like this: First, what Xue Wenzhou said is untrue, and he will be dismissed; Second, Li Kezhuo is not a medical officer, but he donated medicine without authorization, and he was suspected of rebellion, so he was immediately imprisoned and searched his home to ask about the crime of rebellion!
Third, Fang Congzhe, Han Yi, Zhang Wenda, Wang Bianjiao, Zhang Heming and other important ministers at the time failed to stop the first emperor from taking medicine, which was really a mistake for the ministers, but because of the first advice, it was regarded as fulfilling the duty of the ministers, and ordered each of them to self-review (written review) and publish it in the world. ”Zhu You proofread Han Yi and commanded."
Obey the order!"
Han Yi replied.Han Yi knew that His Majesty's third will was obviously to characterize this matter through his own civil and important ministers, so that those civil officials and scholars outside who were dissatisfied with the Son of Heaven would think that they were cowardly and dissatisfied with their own people, so that they would be easier to be manipulated by the emperor.In fact, Han Yi originally wanted to say directly "the minister doesn't know" at first, but he was really afraid that he would anger Zhu Youxiao and be executed by Zhu Youxiao on the spot, so he still told the truth.Fang Congzhe saw that Han Yi and Qiqing were so honest, and he also remembered what the emperor had said to him before, that is, although his scholars looked rampant, in fact, most of them were cowardly people.This gave Fang Congzhe some confidence to continue to fight side by side with the emperor.…… After Xue Wenzhou's recital was drafted by Han Yi, it was quickly approved and issued to the Department of General Administration.Xue Wenzhou naturally couldn't receive his transcript.However, Di Bao still published the content of Xue Wenzhou's recital and the draft decree after the approval of the red.And because of this, the case of Emperor Taichang taking red pills was officially over.Fang Congzhe did not leave the cabinet because of this incident.The plan of the Donglin civil officials to squeeze Fang Congzhe out of the court failed again.Even like they wanted to hold the Son of Heaven hostage and bring down Xiong Tingbi, they not only failed, but also paid a very heavy price.But their contradictions with the emperor have undoubtedly become more acute.After all, all of this was the result of the Apocalypse Emperor Zhu Youxiao's strong confrontation with them."
Your Majesty, the minister has the courage to speak, in this situation, I am afraid that the scholars in the world will have a lot of criticism and even dissatisfaction with you, but they hold the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty such as grain, salt tax, and field endowment behind their backs, and they will definitely not want to see Your Majesty treat scholars like this, so please take countermeasures against Your Majesty!"
Fang Congzhe didn't dare to dissuade Zhu Youxiao, who was angry, when he was making trouble, but on the second day, he still had to say something from the bottom of his heart to Zhu Youxiao, because he was also a scholar, and he knew how disgusted the scholar would be for the emperor to slaughter them like fish.Moreover, Fang Congzhe also had to stand with the emperor now, so in order to prevent major turmoil in Zhu Youxiao's country, he had to remind Zhu Youxiao.Han Yi glanced at Zhu Youxiao because of this, and said with a secret smile: "What Fang Congzhe said is not wrong!
Youxiao Zhu Youxiao is so cruel to my literati doctor, are you really afraid of losing the heart of my scholar and scholar, but I want to see how you, a tyrant, deal with it!
