Take away the fame, dismiss from office and serve the people...
Such a punishment would completely destroy Zhao Shancai's political future!
Prince Zhu Heyu never expected that his plea would make Zhao Shancai's situation even worse.
What's even more frightening is that Prince Zhu Heyu is completely unaware of the real reason behind this.
Therefore, the situation of Prince Zhu Heyu also became worse.
To be precise, Emperor Deqing became more and more disappointed with Prince Zhu Heyu when he saw his ignorant but anxious look.
The various performances of Prince Zhu Heyu, including his dull political sense, shallow city scheming, and impulsive and blind actions, disappointed Emperor Deqing.
Although Prince Zhu Heyu has indeed grown a lot during this period, the nature of a country is easy to change and hard to change. Compared with the requirements of Emperor Deqing, the growth of Prince Zhu Heyu is still far from enough.
Because of Zhao Shancai's plan, Emperor Deqing's idea of changing the crown prince was already shaken a lot, but after this incident, this idea became firm again. At this point, Zhao Shancai's various suggestions to Prince Zhu Heyu were all. It was all useless work, but on the contrary, it hindered my career.
Of course, as mentioned above, in the view of Emperor Deqing, now is not the best time to change the crown prince. Firstly, the situation does not allow it, and secondly, Emperor Deqing has not yet found a suitable replacement.
Therefore, Emperor Deqing still wanted to maintain the reputation of Prince Zhu Heyu. He also concealed his disappointment with Prince Zhu Heyu very well and did not show it.
Thus. Prince Zhu Heyu did not notice Emperor Deqing's change of mind. He just led a group of "Prince Party" officials to continue interceding for Zhao Shancai, hoping that Emperor Deqing could change his will and reduce the punishment of Zhao Shancai.
However, with the scheming ability of the "Prince.Party", how could he go against the will of Emperor Deqing?
The result is naturally destined.
*****
In the Huangji Hall, Song Qiwen's words fell. Prince Zhu Heyu immediately appealed to Emperor Deqing and said, "Father, even if Zhao Shancai made a mistake, it was not serious after all. He is also a young talent that has been rare in our dynasty in recent years. Wouldn't it be too much to cut off his official career just like this?" What a pity? I hope my father will take pity on his talent and lighten his punishment!"
At the same time, members of the "Prince Party" such as Guo Tang, the Prince's Young Master, Lu Chunxiao, the Censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Cheng Yuandao, the elder of the imperial court, also came out to express their approval, and each found many reasons.
However, in the face of the intercession from Prince Zhu Heyu and everyone in the "Prince Party". Emperor Deqing retorted with just one sentence: "Prince, do you mean that Zhao Shancai's fault does not need to be investigated? There is no need to obey my will? However, if there is no accountability for mistakes, no respect for the purpose, and no mercy, then I will How do we manage the country and convince the government and the public? If other officials make mistakes in the future, will they follow this example?"
After hearing Emperor Deqing's inquiry, all the members of the "Prince Party", including Prince Zhu Heyu, were at a loss for words and had no idea how to refute.
In fact, before this, members of the "Prince Party" often thought that Emperor Deqing's punishment for offending officials was too light, and often asked Emperor Deqing to increase the punishment. Like today, they asked Emperor Deqing to give him a lighter sentence. This is the first time I have taken a stand.
after all. "Rule the country strictly", "rectify the administration of officials", "implement strict government", etc., have always been one of the main political concepts of the "Princeling Party". Although Zhao Shancai is very important to the "Princeling Party", " The "Prince Party" will not give up the ideals they have always adhered to just because of Zhao Shancai.
Therefore, if the officials of the "Prince Party" give Emperor Deqing a positive answer, then they will completely lose their position and principles in the future; but if they cannot answer Emperor Deqing's question, then they will only I can give up Zhao Shancai!
Obviously, Emperor Deqing grasped the "Prince.Party" seven inches!
In the end, after hesitating for a long time, everyone in the "Prince Party" finally gave up on Zhao Shancai. Under the leadership of Prince Zhu Heyu, they all retreated to their positions and stopped pestering Emperor Deqing.
At the same time, Prince Zhu Heyu was naturally unwilling and full of guilt for Zhao Shancai, but he secretly made up his mind that he must treat Zhao Shancai well in the future and never let Zhao Shancai be wronged again. When he ascends the throne as emperor in the future, The first thing is to let Zhao Shancai return to officialdom and entrust Zhao Shancai with important tasks!
On the other side, seeing that the soldiers finally gave up interceding for Zhao Shancai, Emperor Deqing nodded with satisfaction, feeling that he had achieved his goal, not only intimidating the officials, but also secretly warning the prince Zhu Heyu.
As for the unlucky Zhao Shancai... he was not within the scope of Emperor Deqing's consideration.
*****
In this way, the dispute ended, and Zhao Shancai's matter finally came to an end.
Soon, all the officials in Huangji Palace gave up paying attention to this matter and waited for the next issue to arise.
After all, Zhao Shancai is just a small person after all, so his affairs are just trivial matters. The officials present are all big people, and there is no need to pay special attention to the fate of the little person, even if this little person originally has great power. potential.
Not only the officials in the court, but Zhao Junchen also didn't care much about this matter. If we put aside the plan of the seventh prince Zhu Heyu, this matter has no meaning to Zhao Junchen - after all, Zhao Shan is really What makes people feel threatened is his intelligence and strategy, not his official career! Whether Zhao Shancai is an official or a civilian does not prevent him from continuing to make suggestions for the crown prince Zhu Heyu, so the threat of Zhao Shancai still exists - if the seventh prince Zhu Heyu does not take further actions.
Therefore, the meeting quickly turned to the next topic.
Originally, according to Zhao Junchen's plan, after the big court meeting began, the "Zhao Party" officials should be the first to speak and impeach cabinet boss Huang Yourong. Unexpectedly, Li Yuran took the lead.
As a result, Zhao Junchen's plan changed, and the "Zhao Party" officials felt that they were not doing enough, for fear of being blamed by Zhao Junchen.
So, after Zhao Shancai's matter came to an end, all the "Zhao Party" officials acted very anxiously. Emperor Deqing had just asked, "Do you have any other matters to report to me?" when he saw Zuo Lan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Shan quickly came out of the queue and reported to Emperor Deqing: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Seeing Zuo Lanshan coming out, Emperor Deqing's eyes flashed with understanding. He probably guessed Zuo Lanshan's purpose, but he still asked, "Oh? Is there something wrong with Zuo Aiqing? Tell me!"
Zuo Lanshan's expression was serious and he said slowly: "Your Majesty, after I returned to the capital, I found that many colleagues were missing from the court, such as Mr. Gu Quangu, the censor of Zuo Qiandu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Mr. Gu Quangu, the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Mr. Liu Changan, Mr. Liu, Mr. Zhan Shanchang, Mr. Zhan, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, etc. were all missing. I asked my colleagues for the reason and found out that these adults were all dismissed from their official positions by Mr. Huang Yourong and Huang Ge during His Majesty's southern tour. I also asked my colleagues about the reasons why these adults were dismissed from their official posts, but found many strange things. I hope your Majesty can investigate this matter in detail!"
Emperor Deqing asked: "Oh? What's so strange about it?"
I saw Zuo Lanshan reply: "If you don't talk about others, let's talk about Mr. Zhan Shanchang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. The reason why he was dismissed from his official position was that he secretly embezzled public funds from the treasury. He secretly delayed the repair work of the Ministry of Works in November last year. He used the money to lend money to the private sector. In addition to taking advantage of the opportunity to make profits, it also delayed the Ministry of Works' water conservancy repairs for several months... However, as the minister of the Ministry of Works, I had no knowledge of this matter. , if Zhan Shanchang really delayed the money from the Ministry of Industry, then I should have known better! So there is something fishy about this matter!"
Then, Zuo Lanshan added: "There is also Mr. Gu Quan. He was dismissed from office because he fabricated evidence, framed his colleagues, and used his power to impeach officials to suppress dissidents. However, I have always known that Mr. Gu As a person, I think Mr. Gu would never do such a thing! In addition, there is Mr. Liu Changan. Some people impeached him for taking bribes and selling out his official positions, and privately tampering with the records of officials' merits and demerits. However, as far as I know, Mr. Liu entered The Ministry of Personnel has less than a year and is not capable of completing this matter... All of this requires your Majesty to investigate again. If these adults have been wronged, please put things right and restore these adults. You must have good reputation and official position, otherwise it will inevitably make all officials feel cold!"
As Zuo Lanshan's words fell, Tong Huan, the envoy of the General Affairs Department, immediately came out to report: "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Mr. Huang Yourong for forming cliques for personal gain and suppressing dissidents! During your tour to the south, Mr. Huang Yourong Relying on his status as an assistant to the government, he acted arrogantly and acted tyrannically. Officials in the government who had different political views from him were ostracized and suppressed. Many officials were even dismissed from their posts due to inexplicable crimes. Such perverse behavior , Mixing up right and wrong is an act of manipulating power and harming the country. I hope your Majesty will severely punish Huang Yourong!"
Then, Qin Huaiyuan, the Minister of Punishment, also came out and said: "Your Majesty, what Mr. Zuo and Mr. Tong said are all true. What Huang Yourong did can be said to have harmed the country, disrupted the government, and corrupted the government! Therefore, it is not enough to punish without severe punishment. In this world, severe punishment will not satisfy the common people, so I hope your Majesty will learn from it!"
Huang Yourong is about to fall and lose power. This is something that everyone can see clearly. In addition, Huang Yourong has offended many officials in the DPRK and the Central Government during his struggle for power over the years. Therefore, there are naturally many people who want to take advantage of the situation and add insult to injury. few.
Therefore, as the "Zhao Party" officials took the lead in impeachment, a massive campaign to denounce Huang Yourong suddenly began.
