Chapter 704: Amnesty the world
This Zhang Yanzhi was tortured.
But at this moment, my heart was dead.
Not only is the price he paid is heavy, but it is also like a huge joke.
The Jinyiwei pulled him out.
Emperor Tianqi looked red and said, "The people come one by one, and search their homes. This case involves a lot and should not be underestimated."
Everyone agreed.
Emperor Tianqi then sighed and said, "I am so crazy. I took risks for the sake of my benefit. I have reached the point of being shameless. There are such shameless people in the world."
Zhang Jing smiled and said, "Your Majesty... There are always some bad apples in the nine provinces in the world, and there are hundreds of trillions of people. Why should Your Majesty take it to heart? It is precisely because of such a person that the Jinyiwei has value. I think that when encountering such a thing, there is no need to be angry. If someone rebels, just do it."
Emperor Tianqi nodded: "It makes sense. I just thought about it and felt disappointed. There are many here, all of them, all of whom were ministers who had paid me a salary, and a group of things that were ignorant of life or death."
He was angry, but when he thought that he had come to the house search process that he loved, his face looked much better and said, "Don't let any of these people go, okay, I should go back to the palace."
After saying that, he looked at Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong in the corner and said, "You two, you will follow me into the palace, and I have some arrangements."
Li Zicheng began to feel panic again. Zhang Yanzhi was not a thing. On the left, he said Li Zicheng wanted to achieve great things, and on the right, he said Li Zicheng was the hero. If it were the past, this was nice. Now it sounded so shameful and even more frightened.
What does this mean? Is it a waste of people? And after hearing this, His Majesty may think what he thinks!
However, Zhang Xianzhong also had regrets in his heart. He rebelled for half his life, why didn’t anyone say he was the hero?
When the official army easily let him go, he felt that he had suffered a great humiliation. Now, even this group of guys who were in trouble did not mention him.
It seems that he is just like a waste of time.
After all, people want shame, trees need bark!
At this time, he felt mixed feelings, not knowing whether to be happy or worried.
It was just for Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong that this was their first time entering the capital. To some extent, they were just a quick look.
Especially at night, a vast crowd of people were passing by, and the streets were quiet, until the Ming Gate entered the palace, and then, many ministers and eunuchs were seen here.
Wei Zhongxian and Huang Liji were relieved when they heard that His Majesty had returned.
In fact, they already knew that the overall situation was settled, and the so-called traitor was wiped out.
When Emperor Tianqi entered the martial arts building, the ministers saluted again.
Emperor Tianqi said at this time: "The rebel has been defeated, thank you all for your hard work."
Such an understatement.
Immediately someone knelt down, but it was Zhang Yanghao, the Minister of Personnel. Zhang Yanghao burst into tears and said earnestly: "I actually died, but I almost colluded with the thief, which was a lifelong misfortune. Over the past few days, I have been burned with all five insides and were worried and frightened. I thought that Your Majesty was so kind that I could not repay you. I also thought that the thief was so bold that I tried to overthrow the country and cause trouble to the country. I... not only could not be fooled by the lord and father, but I missed the country's major policies, and died thousands of deaths!"
At this time, the most important thing is to admit your mistakes.
Some smart people like to use their sharp words to scapegoat the most, and always think about how to avoid the most important things and throw all the blame out.
However, Zhang Yanghao is not a clever person. He knows very well that at this point, he can only strive for forgiveness by admitting his mistakes sincerely and revealing all his responsibilities and sins.
To put it bluntly, this is that you cannot treat the emperor as a fool, don’t expect the emperor to not know what you are doing.
So Zhang Yanghao kowtowed again and said, "I have ordered people to make a book of stocks and pay them into the treasury soon. As for other crimes, I ask Your Majesty to order a minister to investigate. I will never dare to shirk responsibility and should confess my guilt and convict the law."
To this point, Emperor Aoki actually has nothing to say.
Wei Zhongxian, who was standing aside, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Zhang Butang has made a lot of contributions to defeating the thief this time. He first contacted the factory guards, and then cooperated with the factory guards to temporarily stabilize the thief. Although he dared not say that he had any great contributions, if it were not for him, it would be a bit difficult for these thieves to clean up."
Emperor Tianqi nodded and said, "Well, I know some of these things too."
Zhang Jingyi said: "There are also reports from the Jinyiwei, and he has said this."
After hearing these two people's words, Zhang Yanghao finally felt relieved. He was afraid that Wei Zhongxian would say he would protect him in person, so he turned his head but ignored him.
Now Jiu Qiansui has spoken in person, but in fact, even if the dust has been settled.
Because of the identity of Jiu Qiansui, he opened his mouth, and Zhang Jingyi and the officials of the cabinet would most likely give Wei Zhongxian the face and would not destroy the situation no matter what.
Emperor Tianqi said, "What kind of morality is the decent minister who is actually engaged with someone like Zhang Yanzhi? Do you know the benefits now? Do you really think that if someone gives you heavy bribes, this benefit is for nothing? I'm thinking about your first offense and you are willing to repent, so I pardon you for death. It's not easy for the court to train a minister. I have to punish you severely. After all, I will be responsible for your ignorance. In the future, I will restrain my family. From today on, I will dismiss you from the Minister of Personnel and be removed from the Minister of Justice to serve as Minister of Justice."
The Ministry of Personnel is a heavenly official, with a high position and a powerful position. Zhang Yanghao made a big mistake. Although it is said that his son was confused and he had already made atonement for his sins, it was not appropriate to still be in office at the Ministry of Personnel. If he was asked to go to the Ministry of Justice, on the one hand, the grade and treatment have not changed, but in fact, it has been downgraded.
But for Zhang Yanghao, it was the best ending. What else could he say at this time? He just kept saying: "Your Majesty is so kind, I... I am so grateful."
Emperor Tianqi immediately said, "This position as Minister of Personnel, I will be promoted in a few days. I need a fair and upright person."
All the ministers responded to their orders.
Emperor Tianqi changed his subject and said to a bigger matter, saying, "I am suppressing the enemy outside this time, and I will wipe out Gao Yingxiang and others. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong and others are willing to abandon the darkness and turn to the light. Now the bandits in the world have cleared them. This time, I have brought Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong into the court and promised to properly resettle the bandits. Li Qing, Zhang Qing, you two come forward."
When everyone heard this, they were immediately shocked, and it was obvious that everyone was surprised and surprised.
Speaking of the harm of the bandits, the Ming Dynasty has damaged its muscles, but who knows that all the three bandits were suppressed together?
Even Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng are here.
Everyone was surprised and subconsciously looked at the two inconspicuous people.
The two of them were named after the names of them, so they immediately stepped forward.
Zhang Xianzhong took the lead and said, "I have nothing to say. Whether I want to kill or cut off my son or pardon me, I have nothing to say. I just want your son to treat my brother well."
Li Zicheng couldn't help but glance at Zhang Xianzhong with the corner of his eyes, but he also knew that Zhang Xianzhong was sloppy. He said this, but if he said this, he would not want to kill him or cut him.
Li Zicheng said: "At this point today, the guilty people are already ashamed."
All the ministers looked at the two of them silently. They originally thought that they must be burly people, but now they seem to be very ordinary in appearance, no different from ordinary people.
But their eyes have an unconcealed light.
Huang Liji immediately said: "Today, the bandits were wiped out, so I can be happy and congratulated you. I... congratulate Your Majesty."
Emperor Tianqi only suppressed his hands and said, "It is useless to say these things. A few days ago, Zhang Qing issued a report to place the bandits in Liaodong. What do you think?"
Huang Liji and others looked at each other.
What they were worried about was that this place was even more out of the way, and the imperial court had weak control. Once these people were allowed to leave the customs, if they rebel, they would be in a difficult situation.
On the other hand, they also knew that it was very difficult to resettle hundreds of thousands of bandits. How much national treasury would be wasted, and the money and food were spent in it. If they were not careful, the officials would do it again and they would do it again, for fear of causing trouble.
In fact, there were no bandits before, but many bandits rebelled again later. The fundamental reason is that they were placed on the bandits. This is not something that rewards you as an official position and is willing to be an official army.
It involves the issue of bandit leaders being discriminated against by others after entering the officialdom, bandits being bullied, and even deducting military pay at any time.
Huang Liji thought for a while and looked at Zhang Jing and said, "Governor Zhang, how do you plan to resettle?"
Zhang Jingyi had thought of it for a long time and said directly: "Give it food and plant it for the ground!"
That's it?
The answer is too concise.
However, Sun Chengzong, who was standing by, nodded in praise and said, "This is the fundamental. If the fundamental problem is solved, people's hearts will naturally be stable. Over the years, wars have been everywhere and the people are displaced. The people's hearts are not about chaos, but about governance. If you give them a way out, who will be willing to go around and be surrounded by the government army, give them food and plant them in the land. These short six characters seem to be simple, but to do it, for some people, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky, but easier than finding a bag. The life and death of refugees are actually in the thoughts of many people, but the problem lies in this thought. Those who regard the people as thieves would rather force the people against the people than give them a mouthful of food."
"Governor Zhang hit the nail on the head. If he really can do his best to achieve this, then the world will be peaceful."
After a few words, I explained the essential issues clearly.
Huang Liji thought carefully and couldn't help but wonder, which side did Sun Chengzong stand on? This sentence is not equivalent to the reading comprehension of Zhang Jing's words? It turns out that you are a translator for Zhang Jingyi?
