Chapter 6 Your Majesty is too violent
In the side hall, the blazing candle flame was beeping, illuminating the scene that had just happened.
Above the Danqi, Emperor Chongzhen overlooked from above, taking everyone's expressions and demeanors into his eyes.
It is clear that this is not a cohesive cabinet team.
This is not surprising, though.
How is Daming cool?
It's not because the party is fighting for the country.
Among the six people, Fang Fengnian, Fu Guan, and He Fengsheng are the so-called "Qingliu", that is, the famous Donglin Party, and the three of them are the strongest in a group.
And Liu Yuliang, Xue Guoguan, and Yang Sichang fought alone and formed their own faction.
This is a cabinet member elected by the deity in order to balance the interests of various parties.
It is conceivable what kind of combat effectiveness such a cabinet team can have!
It is simply wishful thinking to expect them to unite together to face the national crisis.
Now, the first fire of Emperor Chongzhen's ascension to the throne is ready to burn to the cabinet.
"Huh...... Hehe......"
Suddenly, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly sneered, making the atmosphere in the hall even more depressing. For these courtiers, who were accustomed to observing words and feelings, they could feel His Majesty's resentment.
Half a salary, Emperor Chongzhen stopped sneering, pulled down his face, swept his Royal Highness's ministers with cold eyes, and pointed at Fang Fengnian and the three of them and reprimanded loudly: "Rotten Confucian!"
You claim to be a clear stream and think that you have the talent to enter the country and the country, but you ask yourself, what specific things have you done since you entered the cabinet?
Exporting every day is worrying about the country and the people, and mentioning the pen is to be loyal to the monarch and serving the country, but what you can do is to be shameless.
Now that Jiannu has invaded, invaded our suburbs, and rampaged Gyeonggi, the people are worse than dead, but Keer and others turn a blind eye, this is worrying about the country and the people?
At the moment of the great enemy, when the mountains and rivers are broken, and the country is in danger, you will resign if you disagree, this is your loyalty to the country?
In my opinion, what is the difference between your actions and escaping? ”
Emperor Chongzhen's words were hard to hear, and the questions were even higher than one sentence, and his voice was deafening.
But Fang Fengnian and the others were blue and red for a while, and they were speechless.
In fact, it's not, if it's the first few questions, they must have to retort at length, otherwise how can they be worthy of being a "clear stream"?
Do you know what a "clear stream" is?
They eat by mouth.
Just like the later generations described Erha, they never lost a quarrel!
But the last sentence, they can't refute it.
Because, now is indeed a time of national crisis, but they are actually arrogant.
Say a thousand things and ten thousand, and no one supports them wherever they go.
Because, they are short-term.
At the same time, they also found that Emperor Chongzhen suddenly became shrewd, and he was able to catch their loopholes and kill them with one move.
Moreover, the eloquence seems to have risen.
"Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers are dull, please forgive your Majesty!"
Xue Guoguan was a wall grass, and he also agreed with Liu Yuliang's suggestion at first, but at this time, Emperor Chongzhen was furious, and hurriedly leaned over to ask for guilt.
"Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers are dull, please forgive your Majesty!"
Seeing this, Fu Guan and He Fengsheng also took the initiative to ask for guilt.
Only the second assistant party still stood every year, and wanted to argue for himself with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, it's not that the ministers don't know the overall situation, but Your Majesty doesn't listen to dissuasion."
Has Your Majesty ever thought that the population of Jingshi is more than one million, and the spies are mixed in it, how to investigate it thoroughly?
The influx of rioters into the capital, the construction of slaves also followed, they created riots in the capital, how to prevent it?
The ministers considered these before agreeing with Liu ......"
He had to defend himself a few words, otherwise, if he obediently admitted his mistake, his reputation would be gone.
It's better to give it a go and leave behind the reputation of a direct minister.
After all, unlike Fu Guan and He Fengsheng, he is still young, he can recover in the future, and he still has a political future.
These were originally the specialties of their Donglin Party.
It's just that......
Emperor Chongzhen didn't have such patience, and he didn't have time to listen to his nonsense.
There's a lot going on!
"Alright, don't say it. Since you can't, then don't bother, abdicate and make way for Xian. ”
Emperor Chongzhen, who was furious, directly and rudely dismissed Fang Fengnian from the position of second assistant.
"Minister...... Begging! ”
Fang Fengnian was stunned for a moment, his face was extremely ugly, he couldn't have imagined that Emperor Chongzhen would be so direct and directly depose him, instead of making himself decent.
This means that there is no hope of recovering from the future.
However, no matter what, the words have already been spoken, and he can only obediently take off his official hat and lean over to leave.
"Fu Aiqing, He Aiqing, the two of you have been transferred to Guozijian as a doctor."
Ignoring Fang Fengnian, who left with hatred, Emperor Chongzhen took the opportunity to pull Fu Guan and He Fengsheng down, allowing them to return to their old profession and teach and educate people.
"Thank you!"
"Thank you!"
Fu Guan and He Fengsheng glanced at each other helplessly, and also leaned over to thank each other and leave.
Although he was dismissed from his post as a cabinet scholar, he was undoubtedly lucky compared to Fang Fengnian's dismissal.
A doctor of Guozijian is also a noble position.
The second is to avoid being criticized by political opponents and running away.
Emperor Chongzhen's fierce operation shocked all the people present, including Yang Sichang, who was eager for the three of them to get out.
Your Majesty, this is too violent!
Removing three cabinet scholars at the same time in one night is unique in the history of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years.
However, the stunned crowd was still to come.
"The proposed purpose is that at a time when the country is in crisis, Liu Aiqing is old and healthy, and he can't bear the daily burden of the cabinet, so he was removed from the post of Wuyingdian University Scholar and allowed to return to his hometown to recuperate.
Neiku gave a product of silk, a hundred taels of silver, and a ginseng plant of 50 years...... Ordered the pedestrian department to send a stagecoach to escort him home, and instructed the local officials to treat him well. ”
With the dictation of Emperor Chongzhen, Liu Yuliang, the first assistant, was given a minister.
“……”
When Liu Yuliang heard this, a mouthful of old blood almost spurted out, and he actually said that he was old and healthy?
Your Majesty's excuse is too clumsy!
However, the second assistant was deposed every year because of his proposal, and Liu Yuliang could only obediently obey and thank him.
Compared with Fang Fengnian, he is still decent.
If you don't know how to be interested, I'm afraid the consequences will be worse than Fang Fengnian.
After all, His Majesty is notoriously cold by nature.
It's just a pity that this position of the first assistant has only been in place for more than a month, and his ass has not yet been hot.
Things have come to this point, and all the ministers in the palace are stunned, Your Majesty's operation is too unexpected.
Overnight, the first assistant, the second assistant, and the two scholars were all wiped out, why did Your Majesty act so conscientiously?
To be honest, the words and deeds of the four scholars today, even if they are not in line with His Majesty's wishes, there is no need to make such a big move?
PS: Everyone, hurry up and invest, and send the contract. Of course, there are tickets, and the seedlings need to be cared for.
