This guy's acting skills still haven't improved significantly. Yao Ji couldn't help but sigh: "What a 'complete sincerity'! Chen Biqian said the same thing yesterday! 'A pure sincerity' can be exchanged for boxes of silver. I don't know if Aiqing will face her own family." How do you explain your "complete sincerity" for your money? Is this blatantly amassing money under the banner of "complete sincerity"? Can you deceive me by claiming that you are "completely sincere"? If everyone in the civil and military dynasties was like this, they would talk. He appears to be 'sincere', but in reality he is trying his best to amass money. How can our Ming Dynasty survive? Come, please hold this man outside the palace. Once the stolen goods are found, he will be thrown into the imperial prison immediately!"
"Loyal and courageous" Yang Shicong, "iron-bone" Wu Weiye, "not serving two masters" Xie Yijin, and now there is "sincere" Wu Changshi!
If things continue like this, there will still be a bunch of people lining up behind Wu Changshi!
For example, these five in the cabinet are a matter of time~!
Shang Zhouzuo was still a little unconvinced and excused himself: "Your Highness, is this move a bit abrupt? If word spreads, some people will inevitably think that Wu Changshi was 'guilty of his words'!"
That was it for Wu Changshi. Although he was from the same hometown, it didn't matter. On the other hand, I don't know people well, which will make others laugh at me. If I can avoid being inspected, I might be able to save some face.
Another person with a short memory, Yaoji immediately helped him recall: "Shang Aiqing, do you remember how Lin Aiqing commented on my order to seize Li Juesi's pig? At that time, Lin Aiqing also said that this move was abrupt. What was the result? Shang Aiqing, as a person Can the right censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate distinguish between loyal and traitorous people? They all talk about benevolence, righteousness, and morality. If you don’t check them, they will say they are honest officials. If you check them, they will all be rich! The poor court and the rich officials are really a shame of our dynasty for hundreds of years! "
I can deal with Wu Changshi without following the routine. This time I will let you know that not everyone in this hall is qualified to ask others what they ate the past few days. Even if you have this intention, you must first recall what you ate the past few days, otherwise you will wait to be punished.
Yaoji looked at the clock next to him and then suddenly said: "I just dealt with a lot of things and missed the rest time. Let's adjourn the meeting now. We will wait until the results of the search at Wuchangshi's residence are obtained before resuming the meeting. It's useless even if I think about it. It’s been too long, dear friends, you can stretch your muscles.”
Wu Changshi's family should be completely unprepared for a raid. Unless they transferred the money they caught last night, or someone tipped off the people in the Wu Mansion in advance, the chance of "Eastern Failure"'s men making a surprise attack would be extremely slim. Even this fifth-grade doctor doesn't have such extraordinary abilities.
Seeing that the prince actually protected Xue Guoguan in this way, Shang Zhouzuo was extremely angry and said reluctantly: "When His Highness investigated Wuchang alone because of his words, he deliberately avoided Xue Guoguan. This was an unfair move and even more damaging to the emperor's reputation. Holy virtue is definitely not the work of a benevolent king!”
Even the chief minister of the cabinet must be severely punished if he deviates from the general direction of the official team. The prince wanted to adjourn the meeting, but Shang Zhouzuo refused to agree. He had to ask the prince for an explanation. It was best to force the prince to make a compromise.
Seeing the opportunity coming, Lin Yuji, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, who had been eager to try, immediately came back: "I agree with what the censor of Youdu said, if only one person in Wuchang is investigated this time, even if nothing is found, how can His Highness convince everyone? If both of them are investigated, Fang Xian will The true nature of fairness and incorruptibility!”
Subsequently, six people including Zhuang Qinlin, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Liu Zunxian, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Liu Zeshen, the right minister of the Ministry of Justice, Li Rixuan, the right minister of the Ministry of War, Fu Shuxun, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Li Yuzhi, the minister of Dali Temple, came out one after another to agree with what the two said and openly ignored the prince's adjournment. As ordered, they stood in the main hall, and everyone could not rest. In fact, they were forcing the palace!
Yao Ji has long heard about this kind of thing. During the Jiajing period, Gui E and Zhang Cong were extremely hated by the civil service group headed by Yang Shen because they catered to the emperor's wishes. They planned to kill them when they went to Beijing to attend court. He was beaten to death. Later, the news was leaked and Gui E escaped.
When the plan failed, the civil service group introduced the Li Ke to Li Xuezeng and more than 70 people who were involved in the matter. They wrote to Emperor Jiajing and said: "Calyx and others are all biased scholars and disordered regulations. They must be punished in the holy world. How can they be gathered together in one sentence?" Move to the United States?
The translated meaning is don't mention promoting people like this. If you are a wise king who cherishes your reputation, you must kill these two sycophants. Otherwise, you will be a complete fool and will not meet our requirements. We will scold you every day!
Emperor Jiajing did not agree to the unreasonable demands of the civil servant group, so Yang Shen and his group organized a group to protest in the imperial city every day. After being arrested by the Jin Yiwei, several people were arrested, and they unscrupulously staged a unique show of crying and berating the emperor for his stupidity!
Jinyiwei Jiadi was also a person below the fifth rank. Regarding the unreasonable troubles of the civil servant group, unless he was forced into desperation, Emperor Jiajing would usually have no choice but to let them go. And it was not just him, but also Zhengde, Wanli, and the scapegoat.
On the surface, the civil servants in the Ming Dynasty were officials appointed by the imperial court. What they did was almost the same as that of ordinary people in the market. They even insulted the integrity of the scholar-bureaucrats. They became officials purely for their own interests, and some even became members of interest groups. running dog.
To deal with this kind of "official hooligan", Yaoji will not be as helpless as his great-great-great-grandfather, let alone use the imperial staff: "Just now, when I mentioned becoming an official, all of them were mute, and now they are all dancing with dignity. Come out to shout and shout, I dare say that all the dear friends just now are dormant on purpose! Since you didn't hear clearly, I repeat it again, I am short of everything, but there is no shortage of people who want to be officials! Climb up with all your strength, They say they are working for the country, but in fact they are greedy for power. When encountering difficulties, they will not know how to do shit! If you feel that you cannot obey my orders, you can become an official, and no one will stop you! Eight of you! All of you will become officials! Adjourn the meeting!"
In the Ming Dynasty, civil servants who were ordered to serve by the emperor, regardless of whether they lived or died afterwards, were always packaged as loyal ministers who were upright, strong and courageous, and would be praised and praised as heroes in the civil service group. The emperor was severely criticized because of his ministers, which seriously affected his reputation and prestige.
There is a saying: Although the imperial staff is cool, if an upright person is punished by the staff, the world will consider him the most glorious and he will be admired by others all his life...
Therefore, facing such a shameless minister, not only could the imperial staff not be used as a means for the emperor to suppress his ministers, but it had become a hot potato in his hand. As long as he took it out, it would definitely damage his reputation!
Emperor Wanli struggled for a long time on the issue of establishing a crown prince, and fought off four chief ministers and hundreds of officials. However, in the end he was still unable to outnumber the enemy. He was no match for the enemies who were fighting for him, so he had to succumb to the will of the civil servant group and reluctantly parted ways with him. They gave up their plan to make Zhu Changxun the crown prince and instead made their short-lived father Guang Zong the crown prince, which was known in history as "the battle over the foundation of the country"!
Having eaten twenty locusts just now, he still couldn't impress the young prince. Now that he was dismissed from the official position, Lin Yuji couldn't help but become angry. He said in a loud voice as if no one else was watching: "I thought that if you were a holy king, you would put the country, the country and the country as your top priority. It is the kingly way to take hundreds of officials as the foundation, to be fair and honest as the basis, and to be morally honest! However, in the past and present, His Highness has been arbitrary, unwilling to make progress, confounding right and wrong, and deviating from the orthodox! He has repeatedly protected villains and indulged treacherous people. How can we revitalize the Ming Dynasty by insulting the virtuous and harming the country? This grand vision is really just nonsense and rhetoric!"
The prince has been speaking out for two days since he was in charge of the country, and he may have even reached some kind of agreement with the chief minister in private. This is definitely not a good thing for the officials. If the monarch and his ministers cannot be separated, especially the plan to punish Xue Guoguan. If it cannot be realized, then the government will probably be controlled by him in the future.
The officials who were to be appointed were all in important positions. Lin Yuji did not believe that the prince could act arbitrarily and dismissed eight high-ranking officials at one time. If this is the case, when the prince is criticized and criticized by the government and the public, it will inevitably trigger a series of violent turmoil, which may even affect Nanjing official circles.
After holding it in for a long time, Zhuang Qinlin, the Minister of Civil Affairs, decided to vent his anger to relieve his depression: "Changing the court uniform and cutting nails are not only contrary to human ethics, but also an insult to the world's scholars. They ignore the elegance of the Ming Dynasty. These customs are bad practices that have never happened in thousands of years! The nets are widely spread to catch insects, but they don't know that this thing is like child's play. It is just a joke when it is spread among the people. The face of the Holy Emperor and the imperial court will be ruined by the hands of this thing. If it is not If you are ordered to stop it, the consequences will be immeasurable! What Your Highness has done is unworthy of our ancestors. You should rein in the situation and repent and reflect on yourself. If not, it will be a shame for the royal family a hundred years later!"
This person singing in harmony, "卍嚓", "卍嚓", slapped him in the face, dripping with joy, so cool and unrestrained!
If the scapegoat was sitting here, he would probably be so angry that a group of ministers would make his liver ache, and then he would just change his ways.
After fighting a lot, his face became stronger. Yaoji immediately retorted: "Zhuang Aiqing, I was just about to say that Chen Biqian is your subordinate, but such a corrupt and lawless person is right under your nose. You But he turned a blind eye to such a big rat! Is it possible that old age has made his eyes dim? He can't see the documents clearly, and he can't see his colleagues clearly? And Lin Aiqing, what kind of thing is Li Juesi, why bother Lin Aiqing to intercede for him? The court's revenue and expenditure are in short supply. , the people are in dire straits, and there are constant emergencies outside the customs. I don’t see you having any good ideas to offer. Instead, you slander me for my skill in using the net bag with ease. I have never used a net bag and say it is useless. Such a funny face is the so-called virtuous minister! Use Zhuang Aiqing. As the saying goes, 'it is a joke even if it is passed down to the world'! At such a young age, but without self-awareness, he presumes to be a scholar, and even more, he presumes to be a minister. He is like a walking corpse, and you will spit on him when you see him!"
He didn't agree to cut his nails before, and then asked the cabinet to vote, and then refused to acknowledge the voting results, and began to attack the chief minister Xue Guoguan. He also brought up a Wu Changshi who wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, but cut his own hand. After repeated failures, he gave up other tricks and directly adopted Simple and crude method, forming a group to besiege me, trying to overturn the situation in one fell swoop, you guys are really crazy about it~!
