Chapter 196: The Fall of the Confucian Family (Part II)
The situation has developed to this point, Zhu Yunwen does not need to continue to call himself sick and fake, he can appear in front of the world in a grand manner!
On the first day of the fourth month, the Great Pilgrimage Meeting.
As usual, hundreds of officials arrived early outside the noon gate to wait for the court, but they gathered in groups of three or five to exchange heads and ears, waiting for a eunuch to come out of the arrogant and sing a sentence such as "Your Majesty is unwell, and the court will be dismissed today".
It has been more than a month since the emperor reported in late February that the dragon was unwell and summoned the cabinet, the six ministries, and the clan relatives to the Qianqing Palace to assist the government, and the court meeting on the first day of March was not held.
In private, everyone wondered one thing, that is, why didn't the emperor die?
Didn't you say that the oil had run out and the lamp had dried up? Doesn't it mean that the dragon body is only in the morning and night?
In the past month or so, all the government has come out of the cabinet, and even the emperor's big seal has been sent to the Wenhua Palace, which is obviously that the emperor has indeed lost the ability to govern, and the eldest prince Zhu Wenkui has also begun to be taken by the queen Ma Enhui to frequently appear in the Wenhua Palace.
Just wait for Zhu Yunwen to control Long Bintian, then Zhu Wenkui will naturally ascend the throne and become the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
"Is it young that maybe you will recover after more than a month?"
Chen Ying, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, lowered his eyes slightly, and whispered to his best friend. At the same time, he glanced at Yang Shiqi, who was standing at the head of the team not far away, and walked over.
"Elder Yang Ge."
Yang Shiqi was closing his eyes to recuperate, and when he heard the words, he opened his eyes and took a look.
"Something?"
Hey, what a horizontal attitude.
Chen Ying felt that she had been humiliated by Yang Shiqi, and her face was a little unbearable, so she said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that during this time, there have been officials in various provinces who have impeached, saying that Hu Sizong is acting indiscriminately in the General Administration Department, the whole government decree is not working, and the place is in chaos. β
Daming is really a mess now, Jiangxi's Shizi Movement, Changshu bloodshed is spreading wildly in the land of Daming, Nanzhili, Henan, Huguang, Fujian have begun to respond to the measures, now the bottom of Daming can be said to be a piece, the number of casualties has even exceeded five hundred!
Because of this massive taxi movement, the people's livelihood foundation in various provinces has also been affected to varying degrees, where do the officials at the bottom have time to worry about political affairs? The wind direction is swaying, the thoughts are chaotic, and at this time, the emperor's body is in trouble, and the wind is everywhere, and the big guys are watching and watching.
And this Hu Sizong is the general secretary of the general administration of Zuo Tongzheng, and he is the direct person in charge of the General Administration of Daming Newspapers.
"Elder Yang Ge, the lower officials didn't want to say much, but now that I am talking about strange things, and Your Majesty is not feeling well, and when the upright state affairs are in turmoil, according to the lower officials, this newspaper should be temporarily suspended, and when His Majesty Dragon Body Kangtai issued an edict, it will not be too late to open again."
Speaking of this, Chen Ying also glanced at Fang Xiaoru and said: "And after all, Fang Ge Lao is my minister's minister of the Ming Dynasty, His Majesty Qianqing Palace was Gu, and Fang Ge Lao is also one of the ministers who take care of his life, and it is not good to let the group of unranked students at the bottom criticize him like this." β
Yang Shiqi suddenly laughed, this is a lot of disdain in this smile.
This Chen Ying, where did he get the confidence to play with him Yang Shiqi.
Are you pulling the side filial piety or do you want to protect the people behind you?
"Chen Yushi, the provinces are chaotic and the government affairs are not clear, shouldn't the responsibility be the local responsibility? What does it have to do with Hu Sizong? Moreover, the State Administration of Newspapers has approved the publication of each issue of the newspaper, and there is nothing wrong with it. β
After that, he glanced at Chen Ying again, and snorted lightly: "Finally, I tell Chen Yushi, you are the left capital of the Imperial Palace, and you have to be responsible for speaking, I am at the peak of the Ming Dynasty's national strength, and the official doesn't want to hear these four words again." β
was scolded by Yang Shiqi in front of hundreds of officials of the Manchu Dynasty, such humiliation made Chen Ying burn for a while, but he didn't dare to face Yang Shiqi head-on, so he had to secretly resent, and returned to his own position with his teeth.
Fortunately, at this time, the noon door was opened, and an inner supervisor walked out.
"Your Majesty is coming to the court, and hundreds of officials are coming."
Let's go, let's go, the emperor is still not in good health.
The big guy subconsciously planned to turn around and leave, but suddenly stopped.
What did this inner supervisor just say?
Your Majesty is coming to the court, and hundreds of officials are here!
Is the emperor's body bones healed?
Everyone was still in a daze, including several important ministers in the cabinet, who were also stunned, only Yang Shiqi smiled lightly and raised his legs to enter the palace. Only then did the big guy come to his senses and hurriedly followed, and when he heard the sound of drums in the Fengtian Temple, he even heard the sound of drums in the Fengtian Temple.
This Yang Shiqi has long known the emperor's physical condition?
Walking beside Yang Shiqi, Yu Xin glanced at it with his spare eyes, and was suddenly shocked.
All the officials have their own thoughts, and all of them have panicked faces, and as soon as the lile is received, they all stand in their positions and tremble.
They all have a premonition at the moment: something big is going to happen!
"Your Majesty is coming, kneel!"
At the side hall, Shuangxi walked in with his head held high, shouted, and suddenly the drum music in the Fengtian Hall played again.
In the afterglow of the hundred officials, they all instantly saw the shadow that was once extremely familiar, a sturdy young man wearing a dragon robe.
And at this time, the emperor who appeared in their field of vision again had his head above the sky, his feet on the ground, where was there such a half-point sick posture as he imagined?
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Surprised to surprised, as soon as the bell chime rang, the hundred officials still hurriedly bowed.
Zhu Yunwen did not sit down, but stood in front of the imperial case, overlooking the hundred officials in front of him, and didn't even bother to say a word.
If he didn't speak, the hundred officials had to kneel all the time.
"I, I was sick a few days ago, how many people are looking forward to my death?"
Descending the steps, Zhu Yunwen walked down the imperial steps and stood in the middle of the officials on both sides, his voice was like ice.
The Fengtian Hall was so frightened that no one dared to speak at this time, and even worse, they were already trembling with fright.
"It seems that you are all loyal ministers, don't you want to say yes?"
Zhu Yunwen turned around and went up the imperial steps again, and shouted angrily: "Since you don't want to say it, I'll name it!" β
The hundred officials were even more frightened, and they all wanted to squeeze their heads into the cold Beijing bricks.
"Chen Ying, the left capital of the Imperial Palace!"
Hearing the emperor's roll call, Chen Ying in the crowd was suddenly frightened, the emperor just said that someone was looking forward to his death, and now he turned his head and called his name?
Where is there any life left in this?
A foul smell began to permeate from Chen Ying's body, and Zhu Yunwen just drank a word, and he was so frightened that he was so scared that he was full of feces and urine.
"Can't I see you without talking?"
Zhu Yunwen waved his hand, and the brocade guards on both sides of the Golden Palace stepped forward and dragged Chen Ying out.
"It stinks."
Covering his mouth and nose, Zhu Yunwen was too lazy to say anything: "Drag it out, kill with a cane!" β
All the officials only felt that their hearts were suddenly leaking.
"Mao Tai, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Qiu Xian, the right general government of the General Administration, Zhang Sigong, the right waiter of the Criminal Department, Mo Li, the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Yan Qiliang, the left waiter of the household department, are all here."
Zhu Yunwen just stood like this, like a judge of Hades.
"Pull them all out, and they will all be killed!"
didn't have time to explain the reason to the courtiers, Zhu Yunwen shouted again: "Draft edict." β
In the next partial case, Yang Pu picked up the pen.
"Shandong Left Political Envoy Sheng Ren, Right Political Envoy Li Yanzhen, and Qiu Ye, according to the inspection envoy, do not think about the king's affairs, in vain to the Holy Grace, give death! The family property is gone, and his family members moved to Liaodong to reclaim the wasteland. β
"Your Majesty."
A speaker stood up tremblingly and wanted to ask the reason, but was swept by Zhu Yunwen's eyes.
"Where is your turn to interject when I speak! Drag it out, twenty rods. β
At this moment, the double happiness toe behind Zhu Yunwen instantly turned into an inner eight characters!
In the Fengtian Golden Palace, there was silence.
"Do you know why I killed them?"
Zhu Yunwen sneered and shouted, "Double happiness, read it to me, a full house." β
The latter responded, and took out a notebook from the sleeve of his robe with a cold face, which was all the things that the Confucian family in Shandong had done since Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne.
There are dozens of big and small sins.
"Did you hear everything?"
Zhu Yunwen slapped the imperial case and was furious: "Listen, listen to what the Kong family has done, and see who people around you have played what roles in these things!"
Chen Ying, the imperial historian of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, since his promotion as the envoy of Shandong, all the manuscripts involving the impeachment of the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Confucian family and the illegal affairs of the Kong family have been put on custody, which can be said to have opened my eyes.
Mao Tai, the secretary of the ministry, the second grade department, my Ming celestial official, how many Kong disciples have been promoted over the years? I won't say it all, I can't say it.
The right general political secretary is Qiu Xian, a loyal minister, but it is not me who is loyal, not my father, who gave him a fortune and raised him! Loyal is Kong Jian, the Holy Father. The imperial decree had not yet been issued, so he sent a rubbings to the Kong family first. Where is the disaster in the place, I don't even know, he Kong Jianyuan knows it in Shandong!
The Criminal Department, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Households, some of the servants of these three departments were students of the Confucian family back then, and some of them were eye-to-eyeing with the Confucian family, embezzling the treasury of our Ming Dynasty, so wow, you are all my knives, can't you kill you!
Today's Qiushi Newspaper is about to open again, and the content of this title book will be published in the world together with the guilt of these scum scum I killed today! I'm not afraid of being embarrassed, I'm not ashamed, don't tell me anything about the serious corruption up and down, and after it is exposed, it will affect the face of the court and affect my face.
I don't care, I want the people, scholars, and bureaucrats of the world to see and see if I will kill them! β
Taking a breath, Zhu Yunwen turned his head with a face and left: "The five military mansions will return to the government office, the cabinet will come to the palace with me, and the others will kneel for me to think about it, and kneel until noon and get out." β
Yang Shiqi took the lead in getting up with a calm face, looking at the large area of panic behind him, and the corners of his mouth opened a trace of mockery.
