No one dared to read the contents of the memorial in advance.
Because of the harsh method used, the memorial is the lead and is hot to the touch.
Now, both inside and outside the Fengtian Palace can only wait in suppressed uneasiness for the emperor to read the memorial.
There was heavy worry in Yang Tinghe's eyes: he could even think with his toes that this memorial must be related to new knowledge, new laws, and Yang Tinghe.
Li Xiang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, already had numb toes: Li Xiang was an errand in his Ministry of Industry.
Wang Qiong and Zhang Zilin quickly recalled information about this new Jinshi in their minds.
Li Xiang, a native of Xinhui County, Guangzhou Prefecture, passed the provincial examination in the 14th year of Zhengde, but failed in the previous examination. He was able to pass the examination in the second time. Although he was only ranked among the top 237, he was just twenty-five years old and could be called an elite.
His father died young and his mother died in the tenth year of Zhengde, causing him to miss the provincial examination in the eleventh year of Zhengde. Otherwise, his time to become a Jinshi might be three or even six years earlier.
Such a promising young man, who had just returned to his hometown and got married after failing the exam for 16 years, why did he leave his orphans and widowers to die?
Zhu Houcong had already seen these self-reports from the memorial. After reading this fatal remonstrance, he slowly closed his eyes and looked at Zhang Zuo.
The counselors couldn't help but feel excited: Admiral Zhang Zuo was supervising the Jinyiwei. What was written in the memorial? After the emperor read it, his first reaction was to ask the Jinyiwei to check it?
Zhang Zuo bent down and left first to find Luo An and Zhang Bor.
After Jin Yiwei and the inner factory found out about this, they should have found out something soon by following the clues from the many previous materials, right?
"...Your Majesty, I don't know about the memorial..."
Since the emperor had seen it, Yang Tinghe quickly stepped forward to ask for instructions.
"Zhang Jin." Zhu Houchong handed the memorial to Huang Jin first, "Read it."
After Zhang Jin received the memorial from Huang Jin, he did not dare to neglect it. The first sentence after opening it was:
[Li Xiang, the chief minister of the Ministry of Industry's Tuntian Cleaning Department, would like to write a memorial: In order to bluntly point out the disadvantages of redundant officials under the new law and the chaos in industry and commerce, which caused suffering to the people of the Ming Dynasty, I urge the emperor to stop the new law, establish Neo-Confucianism, restore the old system, and eliminate traitors and sycophants in order to bring peace to the world. The people of the country pray for eternal peace in the country. 】
Zhang Jin's clear voice echoed inside and outside Fengtian Hall, but the content was already clear.
New law, new learning!
[Taizu cleaned up the inner world, created official works, neglected corvee and neglected Fu, and vigorously promoted culture and education, so that the great virtues of the Ming Dynasty were spread inside and his authority was exalted outside. In the hundred and fifty-eighth year since the founding of the People's Republic of China, although there were occasional external and internal troubles, the people were living and working in peace and contentment, and everyone was doing their jobs, which was the result of Taizu's old system, culture and education. 】
[Your Majesty is talented and wise, and your clan is very lucky. Your Majesty has worked hard to govern and handled matters diligently, and the people are very fortunate. Since he came to the throne, he has abolished corruption, cleaned up the emperor's palace, and cut off the remnants of the previous dynasty. He has been rejuvenated and the world has been renewed. The world Xinxinran looks up to him for his great achievements. 】
[However, the assistant minister is unpopular, which is the beginning of chaos in the world! 】
One sentence directly pointed the finger at Yang Tinghe, and everyone pricked up their ears to hear how this man who used corpses to admonish him was criticizing the chief minister.
Yang Tinghe felt bitter in his heart: Damn, you dare to die. Can't you see who is causing trouble? I was forced!
[The first crime is that because of the heavy responsibilities entrusted by the general government, selfish motives were used to hide hidden worries in the edict and alienate the friendship between clan members! 】
[The second crime is that the child looked upon the emperor, oppressed the emperor and his father, and intended to control the government, causing the emperor and his ministers to be jealous of each other, and the court was unstable! 】
[The third crime was the fire of the Rijing Sect, which was covered up by the traitor Yang; later, the traitor Fang Muxian came forward and the traitorous party appeased the southeast; and then the people in the capital were filled with resentment, and the three law ministers killed the relatives of the country regardless of the friendship between the clans. Everyone knows the strangeness of this case. The treachery and ferocious flames of power are so high that the government and the public do not dare to speak out! 】
[The fourth crime is to exclude important ministers and appoint nepotism. His younger brother was an official at the left minister of the Ministry of War, and his son was already in the third rank of Cong. His disciples had served in many prominent positions, and his in-laws were also considered consorts. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, no one has seized power so wantonly! 】
[The fifth crime is that after the Yuan Dynasty, the national policy conference was replaced by the dynasty meeting, and the cabinet reviewed and handled the affairs of various ministries. All major matters were decided by the national policy conference, the permanent dynasty was reduced, and the internal and external were gradually isolated. 】
[The sixth crime is that in the name of pursuing the posthumous title of Zhongwu Gong and welcoming Emperor Jing into the temple, he repeatedly instigated the world to discuss the legal system with sinister intentions! 】
[The seventh crime is to monopolize the scriptures and banquets, pretending that practical learning comes from His Majesty, but actually using the new law to incite party strife and eliminate dissidents. Nowadays, there are even words of disobedience that the state system is solid and cannot be shaken lightly. Everyone knows Sima Zhao’s intentions! 】
As soon as the seven deadly sins were mentioned, Yang Tinghe and his advisers looked at the emperor with complicated expressions.
Zhu Houcong's expression was calm, suppressing the weirdness in his heart.
The black pot is indeed huge, but they have to endure it.
Zhang Jin is still reading:
【I have received great favor from the country. I was born in the Hongzhi period, listened to the teachings of sages in the Zhengde period, and was selected as a scholar by His Majesty in the Jiajing period. Watching the government in April, I am diligent and dare not forget it. Before the change of Yuan Dynasty, His Majesty's imperial meetings and banquets were not missing, and memorials and memorials were personally judged. His diligence truly set an example for the kings of all dynasties. The diligence of the minister is due to his desire to repay the kindness of the king and to encourage himself. 】
[However, the traitors were in the court, and His Majesty personally experienced the dangers of the imperial edict and the murderous intentions of the Rijing Sect. Because the Great Ritual Conference fell into the plot of the traitors, the imperial study room and the national policy meeting were actually controlled by the traitors! The high-ranking ministers who were promoted were either exiled to border towns or pushed to other places. The people of the world know that Your Majesty is determined to kill the thief, so he does not hesitate to elect the people of the world, and appoint relatives to serve as officials to compete with him! 】
[However, the traitorous party has sinister intentions. Every time it uses His Majesty’s determination to work hard to govern, it uses His Majesty’s determination to govern with great efforts to coerce the Holy Will, in order to usurp power. The affairs of the country are complicated and all are in the hands of traitorous parties. The ministers of the country throw themselves into fear and cannot bear to disturb the affairs of the country and bring disaster to the people; the traitors have no king and father, corrupt the etiquette, and have the power of Wang Mang to usurp the Han Dynasty! 】
[Since I was appointed as the head of the Tuntian Qingli Department, I have been responsible for handling firewood. I think about the disasters of the new law and my hair stands on end. 】
[I read through the classics and found that during the Tianshun reign of Shanchang in Yizhou, only more than 4.3 million kilograms of charcoal were produced each year. As of now, it has increased to 18.12 million kilograms. In addition to the Ministry of Industry, there is also military firewood. 】
[There are more than 20,000,000 kilograms of firewood every year, and the firewood cutters, firewood collectors, and firewood bearers require more than 100,000 men every year. The mountains and forests in Yizhou's mountain farms are almost exhausted. The price of firewood now exceeds thirteen taels of silver for ten thousand catties, and more than forty taels of charcoal. 】
[If, as the new law says, the number of officials in the world is dozens of times greater, how much more charcoal will the world need to cut down and burn over time? How many people are there in the Qian sect? All are done according to the purchasing method. This is the only item in the household department. How much is the expenditure? 】
[Chen Jue Ming reports: This is just one of the insignificant harms caused by redundant officials! Yang Jie wants to implement the official treatment law, the new government system, and the procurement law. The name is to clarify taxes and levies to relieve the people's poverty, but in fact, he lures the gentry to plot evil and harm the country and the people! Yang Zhao talked a lot about physics and human theory, but I didn't bother to refute his fallacies. There are too many officials but too few people, and the harm is obvious. It is just a matter of firewood, but I don’t know how to solve it in terms of physics and human principles. 】
[I feel deeply that our country is in danger, and I only wish to use this thin body as a drum to inspire enlightenment! All loyal ministers in the world will surely gather together to help Your Majesty eradicate the traitors and restore the old system. As long as the Mingjun is in office, the government is in full swing, and with His Majesty's determination to govern the country, there is hope for the Ming Dynasty to be revived and the country to be prosperous for thousands of years! 】
[I personally went to Huangquan as a martyr! Your Majesty, there is no need to feel sad, but please make it clear to your Majesty: There are many loyal ministers in the world who are willing to die for justice, and there is nothing to fear from mere traitors! 】
[My last words before death, long live your majesty! Long live! Long live! 】
There was silence in the Fengtian Palace, and Yang Tinghe, the traitorous minister, was thinking: Did I choose you because I had done many evil things in my previous life?
Your Majesty, please say something!
