The environment in the prison cell is definitely not as good as that of the Ministry of War Yamen. Especially since it is still winter, the cold prison is even colder, and the only small window that exposes the light has become an annoying vent.
Liu Daxia's people were brought here.
But the words "loyal minister" written by the emperor before were taken to his house.
What is the opening of Chrysostom?
The emperor said he wanted to hang this thing on his door, so it must be hung. Hang on if it's good, hang on if it's not good. In particular, the new emperor was so angry with Liu Daxia that Liu Jin did it himself.
The people in Beijing are free in winter, so as soon as they gather here, there will be more people watching the excitement.
Liu Daxia had a son named Liu Zuxiu who failed several imperial examinations. He was not considered a capable person, he was just doing his duty. When he saw the crowd outside the house today, he hurriedly went out to see what was going on.
Liu Jin did not embarrass him, and raised the thing in his hand, "I have been ordered to hang it up, Mr. Liu can just watch from the side."
Liu Zuxiu looked carefully and saw the word "loyal minister". Then he felt relieved and said, "Thank you, father-in-law."
Then he saluted the passers-by, "Thank you all for coming, thank you all for coming."
He didn't know the situation and thought it was a good thing. Little did they know that the common people who like to watch the excitement have already been told today's story many times. The Tatars bullied us in the northwest, the emperor wanted to send troops, Liu Daxia refused to do so, and many other details.
In addition, "Ming Pao" has two issues, which are dedicated to introducing the situation on the border. It has already described the Tatars as foreign enemies who burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil... so the people have already had a lot of opinions about them.
The emperor was about to go on an expedition, and they were not the ones joining the army anyway, so it was easy for them to curse together. At this time, Liu Daxia comes to block it, so how can it be done?
So Liu Zuxiu made a big mistake and listened to the people laughing without knowing why.
However, some well-intentioned people reminded me and shouted: "Mr. Liu, your father has been sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment for offending the holy bow!"
"What?" Liu Zuxiu was so shocked that he suddenly fell to the ground.
His behavior was more like that of a playboy with no ability, which was in line with the image imagined by the people, so they laughed even more.
Liu Zuxiu got up and hurriedly asked Liu Jin: "Father, are the things that the noisy people said true?"
This can't be a lie, Liu Jin nodded, "Your Majesty has humiliated His Majesty in court. This is already known to everyone."
"How could this be?" Liu Zuxiu felt a biting chill rush from the soles of his feet to his head, and he lost his balance as if the world was spinning.
"This is it! This is the Liu Mansion!"
Outside the crowd of officials, there seemed to be a few people who looked like students. They were very excited, and there were many people watching the excitement behind them, and they came towards the Liu Mansion.
When Liu Jin saw that something was wrong, he asked the young eunuch to hide aside. He also took a closer look and went back to the palace to report to the emperor.
"He is still called a loyal minister. Does he deserve the word?"
The leader also looked like a young man wearing blue silk. What was different from other people was that he had a sword hanging on his waist. He was from the military academy. ….
In fact, this group of people, whether based on emotions or interests, have been dissatisfied with the Ministry of War in recent years.
Apart from other things, the most important thing is that without fighting, they will always be just students!
Not everyone wants to live in chaos with a black man in their arms, but some want to take a chance and change their own destiny. Everyone has their own reasons, even the shy reason to marry the daughter of a certain family, is it a reason, isn't it?
From an emotional point of view, those passionate stories are taught every day in the academy. When we return to reality, is it necessary to say that the overall situation is the most important thing when the Tatars have already rushed over to kill the people of the Ming Dynasty?
What a fucking dog fart!
"Do you know what is written in Ming Pao? The Tatars massacre in the north every year
My people of Ming Dynasty! They killed men, robbed women, and took away all the cattle and sheep that ordinary people had worked hard to feed! But now there are female ministers in the court! They prevented the emperor from sending troops, and said that the emperor didn't care about the people of the world, and he was too damn educated. Anyway, I couldn't figure it out. He was obviously going to protect the people! "
Young people from the Military Academy set up a stage in front of the Liu Mansion, and some people threw cabbage and eggs at the Liu Mansion. Anyway, the family had offended the emperor and was not afraid of their revenge.
"Everyone! My name is Bao Yihan! I am from Ningxia! I have seen several Tatar soldiers with my own eyes! Someone in my family died at the hands of the Tatars. Now the court wants to avenge me, and the emperor wants to avenge me. I didn’t say anything! You can all watch the fun, I’ll make sure you’re the first to serve as a soldier!”
"My name is Luo Jingbo, from Shandong! Our Ming Dynasty is still in the period of national mourning. At this time, some people are looking for trouble for us. If we don't care, we will roll up our sleeves and do it with him even in the countryside! The folks are staying well in the capital. I join the army. !」
"My name is Mao Mengxi, from Shuntian Prefecture! The Tatars invade every year, and the princes in the court mainly defend every year! I can't swallow this! I will join the army too!"
…
Someone started fanning the music, and the capital became noisy that afternoon.
Other people's residences were still the residences of high-ranking officials, but Liu Daxia's family was not. His reputation as a loyal minister has become a joke among the people.
It was also during this time that people from all over the country who came to participate in the Yichou Enke ceremony in the 18th year of Hongzhi were also in the capital.
This trend in the court spread to the people, and there was a lot of controversy about Liu Daxia.
Some people say that he is an honest official and works for the people.
Some people also say that he is just seeking fame and abandoning the court at this time. No matter how many reasons he has, he cannot ignore the overall situation.
Among these candidates from various places, there was one from Fenyi County, Jiangxi Province. He did not have a prominent background like Xie Pi in this example, nor was he as suave and well-spoken as Cui Xian.
He is a little transparent, but he also sees what is happening in Jingli with his own eyes.
Xie Pi and other students were discussing current affairs, and he was listening in the corner. While others were drinking and chatting, he made some tea for himself. Juzi Shengyi, who was also from Jiangxi Province, came over and asked him, "Weizhong, what do you think of what happened in Beijing this time?"
Yes, this person's surname is Yan, his first name is Song, and his courtesy name is Weizhong. I am twenty-five years old this year. ….
"I don't look at it. Those things are none of our business. Why are we talking so much? To cause trouble?" The young man raised his eyelids, very unconcerned.
"Do you still want to keep following me?"
Yan Song paused, then leaned his head over and whispered, "You can't just listen to what these people say, you also have to listen to the outside world."
"Outside? Who?"
"Common people. The word "loyal minister" is a good word for anyone, but it only makes people laugh when it is applied to Liu Dongshan. In this case, what is there to fight for? Thousands of years later, future generations will laugh. Him. Have you read today's "Ming Pao"? The Holy One calls him a tyrant, a domineering minister!"
Sheng Yi naturally knew this, "This move is really cruel."
"Too cruel."
…
…
In Fengtian Hall, the emperor is attending the morning court.
Zhu Houzhao held several memorials in his hand, shook them and said: "From last night to today, several ministers have bid farewell to me. Qi Ruijie and Jin Zilu, the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Sheng Wenchao of Dali Temple, and Zha Liang of Guanglu Temple precious."
After the names were announced, four people came out from among the courtiers and knelt down to worship the emperor.
"Any more?!"
"Zhou Wenyu, Minister of Rites, resigns!"
Today, when the emperor comes to court, it is still the same as before. He has to send troops and fight wars. The ministers have no other choice but to resign. But the Minister of Rites is considered a ***.
This is considered a provocation to the emperor!
"Your Majesty's new monarch has ascended the throne. It is the time to stabilize the people's hearts. How can you think of using troops just because of your ambition? State affairs are such a trivial matter, which has never happened in this dynasty since Emperor Taizu Gao! If your Majesty insists on doing this, I will also I can only resign and return home to wait for the next day.
Your Majesty’s song of triumph! "
This is an old man, and he has been stubborn all his life.
Zhu Houzhao's expression remained unchanged, "Where is the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?"
Wang Hao came out and said, "I am here."
"Take note of these people and find replacement officials after returning to the ministry. Do not affect the government affairs."
"His Majesty……"
"What's wrong?"
Wang Hao didn't know what to say, but he had something to say. "From yesterday to today, more than ten officials have left, including many ministers and ministers. If there were more, it would be difficult for me to assure your majesty. 'It won't affect the government's affairs, just a few words."
Wang Hao is more meticulous and particular.
"It's okay. I said it won't affect you. It's a goal. If it does affect you, just try to minimize the impact and I won't punish the officials."
"I am ashamed that I cannot share your worries for you!"
Hearing what Wang Hao said, the emperor was even more unhappy.
Wow! Zhu Houzhao threw away the memorial in his hand.
"Let's go, all go!" He pointed at these people, "I will accept your resignation. I have said that even if you all leave, I will not leave the capital. No matter how vicious and evil the Tatars are, How about it, I am here to guard this country’s gate! If you don’t want to be an official of the Ming Dynasty, you can go on your own!”
"But there are a few words I want to say first. We, the Ming Dynasty, are here to raise scholars for the country, not for the country to raise some so-called gentlemen who want to abandon the court when the country is humiliated! Confucius said it well, the state has The Tao leads to officialdom, but a country without Tatars can be rich and noble, which is a shame! Do you think that 'a country without Taoism' is fine, right? OK! I tell you, let's not talk about it on weekdays, but when the Tatar soldiers invade our land, If you want to resign, I will never tolerate it!"
"The country has been humiliated, the people have suffered, and civilization has fallen into dust! At this time, let alone officials, even ordinary people know how to pick up a hoe and kill the enemy! If you abandon me today, I will not give the preferential treatment given to the gentry by the court. It’s up to you, take off your official uniform and keep your honors and honors! If you want to live in my land of the Ming Dynasty, that’s fine! Farm the fields and pay for food, as you go! But if you want to let go in times of national calamity and still wear the honors of the imperial court? Don’t even think about paying food and not serving in the army!”
Take fame? !
"Your Majesty, no!" Liu Jian, as the head of the cabinet, couldn't bear it at this time. "Shilang Zhou and others are loyal ministers of the imperial court. They are dedicated to serving the world and the people!"
"What's wrong?" The emperor was unreasonable. "Which loyal minister would ignore the imperial court at this time? You just heard that it is difficult for the officials to ensure that the government will not be affected after resigning. As long as these people have a little conscience, He would not do such a thing! He is unkind, so don’t blame me for being unjust. They don’t care about the court, and I still support him as a national scholar?! There is no such thing in the world! Mr. Liu Ge, you are the head of the cabinet, pay attention With your identity, no one can stop me from doing this!"
I actually said this to give him face. If you continue this, I will even treat you!
"Liu Jin, read out the imperial edict!"
The public opinion field outside is in his hands. As long as he holds on to this, he will dare to deal with any official of the Sixth Section who dares to refute the imperial edict. After all, he is raising the banner of righteousness and letting most people be immoral officials in the imperial court. The burden is so great that the remaining few people will not be able to jump up and down. .
