Cabinet duty room.

The three scholars have not been able to come up with a good solution, which has caused things to drag on all the time, but they want to delay, they can delay, but Zhu Youjiao, the emperor, doesn't want to delay, so He Neng came. Hearing the report of the clerk, the three of them glanced at each other, obviously this matter was the result, was it like Xie Qian said, His Majesty retreated, or did His Majesty can't wait for them? The three cabinet scholars were also very apprehensive.

It didn't take long for He Neng to walk in from outside, and when he saw three people, He Neng arched his hand and said, "I've seen Gong Liu, Gong Li, and Gong Xie." ”

The three of them are cabinet scholars, and this status is there, even if He Neng is a close attendant of the Son of Heaven, this status is also there. However, the three of them will not take it big in front of He Neng, Li Dongyang got up and said: "Father-in-law He came to the cabinet, but His Majesty has a will?" Saying that, the three of them all looked at He Neng, although they had a guess in their hearts, but they could only pretend not to know at this time.

"Back to Gong Li, the emperor does have a will." He Neng said with a smile, took out a copy of the fold, and handed it directly to Li Dongyang: "This is the excerpt of the Household Shangshu Tong Zhong's greetings." ”

"The emperor said, the head of the household is still the book, so many years for the country's finances, hard work, now old, although I am reluctant, but I also sympathize with Tong Zhong and want to go home to make fun of his grandson, this twist and turn is approved." He Neng relayed Zhu Youzhang's words: "Allow Tong Zhong to return to his hometown, retain his grade, and the cabinet will draft the decree!" ”

The three of them listened to He Neng's words, and their faces were a little not very good, although the words were very polite, but there was still the emperor's dissatisfaction hidden in it.

What does it mean to go home and tease your grandson? This means that Tong Zhong is unwilling to contribute to the court and is unwilling to do things for the court. In addition, the minister's resignation is to be consoled, and it basically takes three or four times to approve it. At this time, if the courtiers don't want to go, then after two bows and resignations, they will basically not be on it.

Three or four times, it means that you really want to go, and the emperor will consider whether to let you go, if you let go, then it will be accurate, and if you don't let go, then continue to stay.

But this is the part of Tong Zhong's farewell excerpt, and he has been staying in the middle after going up, and now he is directly approved, fortunately, he still retains the original grade of Zhishi, and he has left some dignity a little. Things really went in the direction that the three of them didn't want to see, but now, Tong Zhong couldn't keep it, and he definitely had to leave.

"Gong Liu, Gong Li, Gong Xie, the will has arrived, then our family will leave." He Neng arched his hand at the three people, and then withdrew with a smile.

This is a bad thing for civil officials, He Neng doesn't want to get involved, he just came to pass on the will, and the will will will be passed on, just leave directly.

When He Neng left, the three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw the helplessness on each other's faces, Xie Qian sighed at this time and said, "I'm afraid it's going to be a mess again!" ”

The other two people didn't speak, but they all agreed with Xie Qian's words, you must know that many people are persecuting the cabinet now, and they are also waiting for the emperor to make a decision. If the emperor retreats, then this matter is naturally hello, hello, hello, everyone, if the emperor is tough, then these people are also waiting to fight back, and the cabinet is naturally roasted on the fire again.

Now that His Majesty has reacted, that is, he has been tough, and he has directly approved the resignation, so someone must be making trouble!

The holy decree was soon passed down, and Tong Zhong quickly packed up his things and left with his servants, and the Hubu Shangshu was suddenly empty. All of a sudden, the crowd was excited, public opinion was in an uproar, the pressure on the cabinet increased sharply, and the number of excerpts for the impeachment of the three cabinet scholars also increased in an instant.

The pressure is understandable, that is, to let the three cabinet scholars stand up against the emperor, as for fishing in troubled waters, they really want the three cabinet scholars to go down.

For so many years, Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, Li Dongyang, the second assistant, and Xie Qian, a scholar of the East Pavilion University, have been in the cabinet for many years, and the government is stable, and their status is also very stable.

For a while, there was a great chaos in the court, and everyone was in their own places, and began to impeach the cabinet scholars, in addition to the three cabinet scholars, the most impeached was Qi You, who was in charge of the salt and iron affairs of the household department.

Everyone can see that Qi You is about to take the throne when Tong Zhong is gone, and at this time, those who intend to take the position of the head of the household department, or those who want the position of the salt and iron division, will naturally attack Qi Youqun, as for him to go down, then there is hope for these people. People are selfish, not to mention officialdom, a place where everyone wants to climb up.

These bullshit things naturally spread to Zhu Houzhao's ears, but Zhu Houzhao didn't care.

Glancing at Wang Shouren beside him, Zhu Houzhao directly ordered: "Start tomorrow, the rectification of the Beijing camp will start tomorrow, from soldiers to generals, eliminate the old and weak, and all those who eat empty salaries and shortages must be pulled out and severely punished. ”

Zhu Houzhao's expression was very serious, and at the same time, he was also surprised that in a place like Jingying, there were people who dared to eat empty salaries.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Wang Shouren hurriedly agreed, the expression on his face was also very serious, he knew that this time it was not easy to do!

"Regarding your reward, you have received everything you should receive, and your official position has not moved, not because your father doesn't want to promote you, but because you have been suppressed by this palace." Zhu Houzhao felt that this matter still had to be explained clearly to Wang Shouren, so as not to have any messy thoughts: "Regarding your position, this palace is ready to let you enter the staff office." ”

"The staff officer must be none of your business, but the deputy staff officer still has your share, the deputy staff officer is from the sixth grade, and your grade will not be improved."

"However, the palace will arrange a position for you in Beijing, as for the specific position, after you complete this assessment, our monarchs and ministers are discussing."

After listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Wang Shouren hurriedly said: "The ministers all listen to the arrangements of His Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will do whatever the ministers ask." ”

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said it very casually, but he can't be casual, Wang Shouren knows this very well, being a courtier must be a courtier, you can't follow whatever His Royal Highness the Crown Prince says, sooner or later you can't catch it.

"That's it!" Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it then!" When Wang Shouren left, Zhu Houzhao instructed Liu Jin beside him: "Go to Qianqing Palace." ”
