Chapter 398: Expanding the Power of the King of Faith
Zhu Xu taught the emperor a lesson, and Princess Xin was also shocked in her heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Empress Dowager Zhang had never seen Zhu Xu so 'domineering' in front of her, so she pulled up Princess Xin and said, "You are relieved, I will guarantee with the concubine, and King Xin will be fine." ”
Princess Xin's tears were less, and she turned around to kowtow to Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu looked impatient, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, the child is crying, go ahead." ”
"Emperor Xie!"
"Concubine Xie!"
"Empress Dowager Xie!"
After Princess Xin thanked her one by one, she wiped her tears and walked out of the Renshou Palace.
As soon as Princess Xin left, Concubine Liu sat there, looked at Zhu Xu and said angrily: "Okay, tell us about it." ”
Zhu Xu smiled, glanced at the Empress Dowager Zhang, sat next to Concubine Liu, and said concisely: "I want to merge the Metropolitan Procuratorate into the Governor's Yuan, but the Donglin Party did not agree, and made a hundred officials 'boycott'...... That's about it. ”
Concubine Liu and Empress Dowager Zhang were both stunned for a while after hearing this, and finally Concubine Liu pointed at Zhu Xu and said with an angry smile: "Has the Donglin Party agreed now?" ”
Zhu Xu also knew that he couldn't hide it from the old lady, so he said with a smile: "Brother Xinwang understands the righteousness and personally went to persuade the Donglin Party. ”
Empress Dowager Zhang also straightened it out at this time, and she didn't know anything else, with Zhu Xu's style of acting, how could the will of the celebrant be 'accidentally' leaked out, or such a will!
She picked up Xiao Yongning, glared at Zhu Xu, and said to Concubine Liu: "Concubine, I'll go back first, this harem is becoming more and more restless." ”
Empress Dowager Zhang said these Zhu Xu can only laugh, since he ascended the throne, every time there is a harem, there is no peace.
Xiao Yongning waved his little hand and shouted in a milky voice: "Uncle Huang, Uncle Huang......" The little face was full of reluctance.
Concubine Liu watched Empress Dowager Zhang walk out, pointed at Zhu Xu again, and said with a smile: "Okay, King Xin has suffered such a big grievance, the emperor won't be guilty, right?" ”
Zhu Xu took a piece of dessert from the plate on the side, stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely, "Then how can it, I have already asked Master Sun and Master Bi to go to Wenzhao Pavilion together." ”
"You monkey ......" Concubine Liu took Zhu Xu's hand and patted it vigorously.
Zhu Xu bared his teeth, and Concubine Liu's hand strength became bigger and bigger.
Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan came out of the celebrant supervisor, took the holy decree that had been prepared a long time ago, and entered the Wenzhao Pavilion.
Although Zhu Youzhen was angry in his heart, his face was already calm, and he looked at the two people who walked in expressionlessly.
Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan glanced at each other, raised their hands and said, "Xia Guan has seen the prince." ”
To these two emperors, Zhu Youzhen also had to be polite, stood still, and nodded reluctantly.
Qian Longxi, Jiang Dejing, Zhou Yanru and others all stood behind Zhu Youzhen, with a worried face.
Although the Donglin Party has compromised, the emperor must be angry, and the next thing is to go crazy 'revenge', this first one should be King Xin and Wen Zhaoge, right?
Sun Chengzong glanced at the few people behind Zhu Youzhen, and said to Zhu Youzhen: "Lord, about the merger of the Metropolitan Procuratorate into the Supervision Yuan......
Zhu Youzhen's heart was angry again, his eyes flashed, the corners of his face twitched, and he kept his face calm and silent.
He also has a stubborn side to his character, if it weren't for Jingyang Palace directly picking up the butcher's knife to persecute him, he wouldn't compromise easily, now that Bi Ziyan is strict, Sun Chengzong comes to the door to show off his might, and he is no longer willing to bow his head.
At this moment, his heart swelled with murderous thoughts!
Sun Chengzong saw that Zhu Youzhen did not accept the stubble, and he also knew that he was unhappy in his heart, so he glanced at Bi Ziyan on the side with an unchanged expression.
Bi Ziyan understood and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been merged into the Governor's Yuan, and the emperor will hand it over to you to deal with." In addition, there is a special decree that in the future, all officials below the fifth rank, including local officials at all levels, can be appointed by themselves with the consent of half of the Governorate, and do not need to report to the emperor. In addition, if the fifth grade is more than the second grade and the second grade is lower, it is not necessary to report it with the consent of two-thirds. ”
One of the most important powers of an official is the power to appoint officials.
Bi Ziyan's words fell, and Qian Longxi, Jiang Dejing and others all looked happy. Not only did they get power, but it also showed that Jingyang Palace did not mean to liquidate Wenzhao Pavilion, which was what made them feel at ease!
Even Zhu Youzhen, who had always kept his face calm, looked slightly relaxed.
Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan both looked at each other, Sun Chengzong said: "Lord, we will not announce the will, you have a copy of thanks, and then we will start to deal with the affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate." ”
Zhu Youzhen's anger was neither up nor down, so he could only stiffen his face and reluctantly accept it.
"The next official retired."
Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong raised their hands.
Zhu Youzhen didn't mean to send it, just nodded reluctantly, and his heart was silently relieved. In any case, this matter can be regarded as a safe pass, and it is not useless after the Metropolitan Procuratorate was merged into the Governor's Yuan. The Governorate will inevitably take over all the powers of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, including the Jingcha, the inspection of the Shuncheon Mansion, not to mention, the right to appoint officials.
He didn't spread out the holy decree in his hand, turned his head to look at Qian Longxi and the others, and said lightly, "Half an hour later, the cabinet will discuss and send someone to invite King Ping." ”
Qian Longxi's eyes flashed with joy and said, "Yes." ”
The clouds of Wenzhao Pavilion gradually dispersed, and the joy gradually came.
Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong walked out of Wenzhao Pavilion and slowly walked out of the palace. In addition to appeasing Zhu Youzhen and Wen Zhaoge, they also wanted to appease the opposition Donglin Party bigwigs.
The two chatted as they walked.
Bi Ziyan returned to Beijing for many days, and gradually sorted out the new situation in the capital, especially after experiencing such a thrilling 'strike', he shook his head and sighed lightly: "Lord Sun, this letter king is still a little worse after all, fortunately the first emperor passed on the throne to the emperor, otherwise you and I are afraid that we will not have a place in the capital." ”
Sun Chengzong knew Zhu Youzhen better, he looked ahead, didn't say much, and changed the topic: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate was cut, even if the Donglin Party completely lost its authority, and the party struggle disappeared, but I am still a little worried......
Bi Ziyan smiled and said, "Lord Sun is worried about Wen Zhaoge?" ”
Sun Chengzong glanced at Bi Ziyan, and also knew that this thoughtful and undisguised said: "Lord Bi has seen it thoroughly, I always feel that the emperor is a little merciful, there is no murderous aura, this is a benevolent monarch, at this time, there should still be enough murderous aura......"
Bi Ziyan laughed, and then he couldn't close his mouth with a smile.
Sun Chengzong frowned and said, "Master Bi, don't you have some different opinions?" ”
Bi Ziyan restrained his breath, paced and looked at Sun Chengzong and said: "Lord Sun, our emperor seems to be kind, but his means are not soft. You see, since he ascended the throne, which of those opposing forces has not been swept into the corner step by step, and how many of them have a good end? The most important thing is that the power of the eunuch party is still expanding, and we, the emperor, don't know what we are planning......"
Sun Chengzong thought about it, this is more powerful than simple killing.
The Donglin people in the capital are all like mourners.
Although Jingyang Palace and Wenzhao Pavilion were appeased, after all, they really lost the big yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and they dragged it out again and again, and three days later, they still started the prelude to the abolition.
If you want to reduce the Metropolitan Procuratorate for hundreds of years, it is not easier than political reform, this is a systematic project, the celebrant supervisor, the Governor's Yuan, and the six ministries and nine temples are all involved, and they need to be digested slowly.
In the imperial study, Wei Zhongxian stood in front of the imperial table, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the officials who 'boycotted' this time have basically figured out that all the evidence of the crime has been gathered, as long as the emperor decrees, Dongchang can be arrested at any time." ”
Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "You keep all the evidence, and copy the list and hand it over to the officials." ”
Wei Zhongxian said: "Yes." ”
Zhu Xu was about to look down at the notebook, and suddenly said, "Do you have other things?" ”
Wei Zhongxian looked up at Zhu Xu and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, about Jingcha, the slave maid wants to ask how to arrange it, and Dongchang can also prepare." ”
Jingcha has always been the focus of the most fierce party struggle, involving the promotion, appointment, and dismissal of officials in the world, and no one can afford not to care about it.
The eunuch party is now in full swing, although the Donglin Party's Metropolitan Procuratorate has collapsed, but the energy of the Governor's Yuan is huge, gathering many princes, the former cabinet chiefs, one cadre, two products, three products, far stronger than the previous energy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
In previous years, Jingcha was jointly implemented by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Officials was in the hands of Zhou Yingqiu, that is, the emperor.
Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to expect the Eunuch Party to get involved in Jingcha, but he didn't want the Donglin Party to interfere, otherwise it would be a big disaster for him!
Zhu Xu looked at Wei Zhongxian, and slowly put down the notebook in his hand.
This system of Jingcha is also a reason for the birth of party disputes, and every time at this time, the whole Ming Dynasty is not at ease. Especially now, completely out of line with his established rectification plan.
After a while, Zhu Xu turned his head to look at Cao Huachun and said, "Pass the decree, this year's Jingcha will be canceled!" ”
Cao Huachun turned to the side and said, "Obey." ”
Wei Zhongxian was stunned, and looked at Zhu Xu deeply, the emperor in front of him, he was more and more unable to guess his thoughts. In his opinion, isn't Jingcha just cleaning up the disobedient Donglin Party members in the Six Ministries?
Cao Huachun's voice fell, and just as he was about to leave, an internal supervisor hurriedly ran in and handed a pigeon to Cao Huachun.
When Cao Huachun saw it, he hurriedly took off the letter bucket, walked to the side, took out a small notebook, lay on the small table for a while, took a brush and wrote down a line, glanced at it, and suddenly hurriedly handed it to Zhu Xu.
Zhu Xu took it and took a look, and there was only a simple sentence: 'Jiannu Spring Hunting, Thief Chieftain, Amin, Dolgon'.
Zhu Xu looked at these words, squinting, and his heart was churning.
This spring hunt will be a fork in the road for Houjin, if Amin gets rid of Huang Taiji, Houjin will fly on an uncontrollable and unpredictable road. The other is that Huang Taiji took the opportunity to cut off Amin, then Jin will be more united, under the leadership of people like Huang Taiji, it can be speculated that it will become stronger and stronger, and it is destined to become a big trouble for Daming!
"Send a message to Liaodong," Zhu Xu said in a deep voice; "Use all the connections, I want to know all the details of this spring hunt, as well as the results!"
