"I will see you, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Zaijing looked at Wang Lin, thoughtful in his heart.
Actually it’s quite right!
The six subjects were an independent system and were directly subordinate to the emperor himself. This was the subversive change Zhu Yuanzhang made to the six subjects at the beginning of the founding of the country.
The specific arrangement of the six subjects in Shizhong is: each subject is assigned to one person from Shizhong, the seventh rank; one person each from the left and right is assigned to Shizhong, from the seventh rank; for Shizhong, four people are assigned to the Li department, eight to the Household department, and eight to the Li department. There are six people in the military department, ten people in the military department, eight people in the criminal department, and four people in the engineering department, all of whom are from the seventh grade.
Although the rank in the work was low, the power was great. The work assigned by the emperor to various ministries had to be reported to the Sixth Section every five days. If there was any delay or incompetence, the Sixth Section could report directly to the emperor.
In addition, the Sixth Section is also involved in the selection of officials, imperial meetings and the trial of guilty officials. The most important thing is that Liu Ke has the power to seal and return the emperor's edict. If Liu Ke deems the emperor's decree inappropriate, it can seal it back and not implement it.
A typical small official with great power!
Moreover, the out-of-control public officials also became a driving force for the accelerated demise of the Ming Dynasty. The public officials in the late Ming Dynasty had long become the tools of the party to fight against dissenters.
TMD Du Nanming is still fighting with the party, and the quarrels continue, and many of the officials are responsible for this.
"Wang Lin? Right?"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
"You said I was wrong when I asked Dongchang to deal with Yin Zhengmao and the others, right?"
Wang Lin was a little timid. Just now, he just wanted to show off in front of his colleagues, and then he went back after saying a few words about serving the country and the people. Like a hero, with the support of his colleagues, he broke up and went to a brothel to find a girl.
Unexpectedly, the emperor was actually present in person!
Aren’t emperors supposed to be otakus? Shouldn't they all stay in Qianqing Palace and chat about life with the queen, and let the civil servants quarrel casually?
How come you, the emperor, are different from your father?
"Your Majesty, I... I think they should be handled by the Ministry of Punishment..."
"Mr. Xu Ge!" Zhu Zaijing interrupted him and turned to look at Xu Jie.
"I'm here!"
"Does Dongchang have the power to deal with corrupt officials?"
"Your Majesty, Dongchang has always had this power since its establishment under Emperor Chengzu!"
Zhu Zaijing nodded and looked at Wang Lin, who was already kneeling and trembling.
"So what are you objecting to? Neither I nor Dongchang are using their rights properly, but you say I am wrong! Mr. Xu Ge?"
"Please fucking let me go!" Xu Jie cried in his heart.
Jiajing was like this in the past. If something happened, he would not express his position. He would directly ask Xu Jie, the head of the cabinet, and force him to express his attitude. Then after he became a villain, Jiajing would make a decision.
The emperor continued to be wise and mighty, and he continued to bear the blame himself.
"I'm here!"
"I am clearly not at fault, but Wang Lin said that I was wrong. Is this considered slandering me?"
After hearing the last sentence, Wang Lin finally lost his composure, and beads of sweat flowed from his forehead.
"Returning to your majesty, he also considered it for your majesty. Although what he did and said was unreasonable, he was also sincere."
Damn it!
You are the real non-stick pan, right Mr. Xu Ge!
It’s inappropriate to be so tactful when you’re already the top leader in the cabinet!
"Hmph! I hope that one day when they impeach you, Mr. Ge will be so considerate!"
Xu Jie was shocked and his face turned pale.
Zhang Juzheng, who was behind him, also raised his head and looked at the teacher. This was the first time the emperor had said such serious words.
It seems that the emperor has a lot of prejudices against his teacher?
Gao Gong's face turned red with anger, and he became even more dissatisfied with Xu Jie.
My student is being bullied, why don't you, the leader of a hundred officials, speak up for him?
Fortunately, there are upright people in the cabinet, otherwise I would really have no way to redress my grievances.
"Zhao Zhenji!"
"I'm here!"
"If you say something that I clearly did that was reasonable and legal was wrong, does that count as slandering me?"
"Your Majesty, this is blatant slander of your father!"
pretty!
Zhu Zaijing felt secretly happy, he was truly worthy of being a direct minister comparable to Hai Rui.
"Wang Lin just said that the six subjects belong directly to me, so naturally it is me who has the final say on how to deal with my subordinates!"
"Your Majesty... I... didn't express clearly... what I meant... I... I"
"As an official, I can't speak clearly, so what do I need from you?"
"Come here, depose Wang Lin from his official position, fight forty times, and leave the capital and return to his hometown within three days!"
Feng Bao winked at the few young eunuchs around him, and they immediately went up and took off Wang Lin's black gauze hat, pulled him to a short distance, pressed him to the ground, and started playing.
"Your Majesty... I was wrong... Your Majesty... Ah! Ah!"
Zhu Zaijing withdrew his contemptuous eyes from him and looked at the officials in front of him.
If nothing else goes wrong, when Wang Lin leaves the capital, they will go up to see him off respectfully. Wang Lin will leave here in a heroic manner and receive a warm welcome when he returns to his hometown. People will praise him as a straight minister who does not succumb to the power of the eunuchs. A loyal minister who dares to speak out.
This is because the imperial power of the feudal dynasty does not extend to the county. No one knows what version of the news here will turn into after returning to the local area.
But there is one thing, that is, the pen is in the hands of these people, and the facts will become a version favorable to them no matter how they are twisted.
It seems that newspapers need to be published.
Now, Zhu Zaijing has his own way to deal with Wang Lin.
"Dong Chengguo."
"I'm here!"
"When Wang Lin left Beijing, he arranged for several royal guards to escort him home. Along the way, he told people what crimes he had committed and why he was dismissed from office!"
"Lest some people who don't know the truth get deceived by him! They think that I, the foolish king, persecuted another loyal minister!"
"yes!"
When the officials heard this, they thought, Damn it, the emperor is so angry!
This directly blocked Wang Lin's plans after returning to his hometown.
You, Wang Lin, were dismissed from office on the charge of slandering the Holy Emperor. Now that you have returned to the local area and heard something unfavorable to the Emperor, the Jin Yiwei will be able to accuse you of many crimes.
Gao Gong felt secretly happy and raised the corners of his mouth.
Cool!
The emperor is so good at dealing with these things!
Zhu Zaijing had dealt with Wang Lin, and it was time to deal with the next person who spoke out loud.
"Hey! That...that person, the one who just said that my Lord is not right, stand up!"
An official heard the emperor's voice and looked around, then stood up and lowered his head.
"You just said that my ruler is not upright? How do you say it!"
This sentence comes from "The Spring and Autumn Annals of Yanzi". The original text is "If the emperor's way is not correct, the ministers' duties are unclear; if the ministers' duties are unclear, there is no communication between the superiors and the subordinates. This is the reason why these three generations have declined." This sentence expresses Yanzi's views on the political order. He It is believed that the monarch should set an example, be correct in his words and deeds, and clarify the responsibilities of his ministers, so that a good political order can be established.
"Reply...Your Majesty, what I'm talking about is the...those...vulgar words that Your Majesty...said on the execution platform."
Seeing his submissive look, Zhu Zaijing suddenly lost most of his anger. This man was not like Wang Lin who just wanted to gain fame at first glance, and his logical chain was not coherent.
He was right, the emperor really shouldn't say those dirty words, especially in public.
"I know that you are also thinking about me, the emperor, and your intentions are good."
The official's eyes immediately lit up and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"But let me tell you! Taizu and Chengzu also often used foul language and said swear words. There were even a lot of foul words in the imperial edicts, but can you say that they said that the king's behavior was not upright?"
Hearing this, the man knelt down again and panicked. No Ming official could bear this big hat.
"Your Majesty... I am not..."
"The emperor is not upright! What should be seen more is what the emperor has done, not what he said!"
"No matter how beautiful and elegant the words are, if you haven't done anything serious, you are still a fool! So I hope that in the future, you public officials will not always stare at what I say, but rather watch what I say! I have this temper, and I can't help but do it. Can use foul language."
"I can't change this, but if I care about the people and make the country peaceful and the people safe, what does it matter if I have a dirty mouth?"
The official was already moved to tears!
Although the emperor just dismissed a person's official position, and that person was still being beaten nearby, and the emperor seemed to be deceiving me, I think what he said makes sense!
"Besides, if everything goes according to my wishes and you ministers can do more good deeds, I won't have to be angry. If I don't get angry, I won't use bad words, right?"
Zhu Zaijing is like a scumbag who coaxes girls. When I look at the girls on the roadside, I am not a scumbag, but you are not pretty enough. If you are the most beautiful girl on the street, how can I look at other girls?
Well! A superior person must have some skills!
Sure enough, these officials, who just seemed to be in trouble, were all deceived by the emperor, and they all cried bitterly.
Coupled with the background of Wang Lin who had just been dealt with, it became even more apparent that Zhu Zaijing had clear distinctions between rewards and punishments, and dealt with the situation rather than the person.
All the ministers felt in their hearts that Your Majesty is a wise king!
There are clear rewards and punishments!
It's all because I didn't do a good job, that's why Your Majesty said those dirty words!
