More than 100 civil officials resigned!

Even, among them, there are many high-ranking officials such as Shangshu Shilang and Deputy Capital Yushi.

This phenomenon can easily affect the normal operation of the imperial court's government affairs.

This is also the reason why many civil officials threaten the emperor with resignation, believing that the stable operation of the imperial ruling order cannot be separated from them.

Fortunately, not all civil servants have resigned.

Therefore, the court of Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde was not greatly affected by the resignation of more than 100 civil officials.

After Guo Dongshan was super-moved to the left deputy capital of the imperial history, he immediately began to arrange for the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to impeach Dai Feng and Xue Fengming for their crimes.

Zuodu Yushi Hanghuai naturally did not dare to stop it, and approved the impeachment note handed over by Guo Dongshan, and officially submitted it to Junqian, after Zhu Houzhao approved it, it needed to be handed over to the Criminal Department for interrogation and conviction according to the process.

And Xue Fengming and Dai Feng were taken to the prison of the Criminal Department by the people of the Criminal Department from the Dongchang Inspectorate Division.

Because, according to the administrative norms of the new dynasty established by Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao only granted the Criminal Department the power to imprison officials and civilians and arrest officials and civilians and sentence them, and the Dongchang Supervision Department could not detain officials and civilians for a long time.

Dongchang was only authorized by the emperor to inquire about the loyalty of his subjects on behalf of the Son of Heaven and ask for an explanation.

It is equivalent to the organizational interrogation of later generations, to be precise, it is not an interrogation and conviction, and it does not interfere with the administration of justice.

The Criminal Department interrogated Xue Fengming and Dai Guan, and it was a public interrogation, as the only central yamen granted the right to arrest and interrogate by the Son of the Great Tomorrow, the Criminal Department could not arrest and interrogate a person casually, he needed the Metropolitan Procuratorate to impeach and prosecute a person before he could arrest and interrogate a person, and at the same time he had to accept the deliberation of Dali Temple.

Therefore, the interrogation of prisoners by the Criminal Department must be open and subject to the supervision of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple.

Although Gu Lan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, has resigned, the cabinet and other officials have not resigned, so they quickly discussed and quickly let Xu Hao, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, be the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Xue Fengming and Dai Guan were also quickly sentenced.

Xue Fengming was fined 60 taels of silver by the court staff and 1,000 taels of silver for slandering the minister, and was demoted to the county of Kaohsiung County by the Ministry of Officials.

Prior to this, Zhu Houzhao had decreed that Dongfan was officially changed to the Taiwan Prefecture, and Kaohsiung was a new county town recently opened up by Sun Xi, the first governor of Taiwan sent by Zhu Houzhao.

And Xue Fengming became another civilian official sent by the Ming Dynasty to develop Taiwan.

But Xue Fengming didn't feel honored about this, his heart was bitter, because everyone knew that going to Taiwan to be an official was equivalent to exile, and it was good to come back alive!

Dai Guan was given a 30 cane and a fine of 500 taels of silver for leaving his post without permission, and was deposed as the priest of Shajing County.

Shajing County is a newly opened county by the Guards in Monan mentioned above, and the county in the mouth of Liu Gui, the magistrate, is almost only Hu people and no Han people.

Dai Guan went to Shajing County to teach, and he could only teach Hu people to learn the Four Books and Five Classics.

Li Shi, a bachelor of Hanlin, Huang Fang, an editor of Hanlin, and Shen Tao, a member of the Ministry of Rites, were also punished and demoted one after another.

An initial turmoil over the establishment of the National School of Administration has finally subsided.

However, the impact of this is still there, after the resignation of hundreds of civil officials, many of the civil officials who remained in the court are wearing many hats, and most of them are not able to do it, so the selection of new officials seems to be quite eager.

In the tenth year of Zhengde, not long after the Lantern Festival, the Ministry of Officials officially determined the list of middle-level officials who needed to enter the National Academy of Administration for rotation training, and reported to Emperor Zhu Houzhao, which was approved by Emperor Zhu Houzhao, and officially issued an edict to these middle-level officials who were selected to enter Beijing for rotation training, so that they would enter Beijing after explaining their government affairs, and set the admission date.

Among these officials who need to be trained in rotation, there is naturally no need to worry about them in Beijing, but for local officials, they will inevitably have to go through a lot of hardship.

However, these officials knew that once they were selected to study in Beijing, it would mean that they would be promoted, so after receiving the holy decree that they would be transferred to the National School of Administration, these officials were still very happy and hurried to the capital non-stop.

The civil officials who entered Beijing were proud of the spring breeze, while the civil officials who left Beijing were helpless.

The civil officials who resigned did not expect that they would be demoted to commoners in this way, and they could not help but accuse those civil officials who were unwilling to resign and who made overtures to the emperor to replace their official positions.

At the same time, these civil officials who resigned remembered the emperor's kindness to them, the rich rewards on the Lantern Festival on New Year's Day, and the year-end rewards after the completion of their political achievements.

Fortunately, their monarch Zhu Houzhao did not forget them.

Zhu Houzhao summoned Tang Bohu, the director of the chamberlain, who was mainly responsible for cultural propaganda.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao's summoning of him was naturally also about cultural propaganda and public opinion.

"After the resignation of those officials who resigned, although they became commoners, the pen is still there, hire all of them to work in the cultural field, use silver to control their mouths with contracts, in short, don't let them be idle! Idle to write words that are not good for the government! ”

"The minister understands that Lun Wenxu and Yan Hong are all leaders in the literary world, and the minister will not let them live on the streets!"

Tang Bohu replied with a smile, and then asked:

"However, what the minister is worried about is that after these officials who are dissatisfied with the government resign, some critics of the government will always feel that there will be more and more newspapers and periodicals that are really prosperous during the Yao Shunyu Tang period, will this be detrimental to the court?"

Zhu Houzhao also knew that after these officials resigned, many people became public knowledge in the Ming Dynasty and began to control the power of public opinion among the people.

After all, with the progress of Daming's printing technology, and Zhu Houzhao's local government to open literacy classes and the development of national education, which led to an increase in the literacy rate of Daming, the paper media industry also rose rapidly, and Daming entered the era of national newspaper reading.

But because of this, there are more and more public knowledge of "I have worked in the household department", "I have talked and laughed with the cabinet elders in the cabinet", or "I am the champion, Xie Yuan, and the head of the case".

However, the difference between the public knowledge of the Ming Dynasty and the public knowledge of later generations is that the public knowledge of the Ming Dynasty always thinks that the moon in the Yao Shunyu Tang period is relatively round, and all kinds of things in the Yao Shunyu Tang period are compared with the current things, and they often say sour words such as "the world is declining, and the people's hearts are not ancient", "how Taizong Zhao Pu of the Tang Dynasty and Taizu Zhao Pu of the Song Dynasty interpret the good stories of the monarch and ministers".

Saying some sour words and fantasizing about the prosperous times in ancient times, Zhu Houzhao didn't think there was anything, after all, everyone has the right to fantasize, and they can imagine that they will be treated well.

However, Zhu Houzhao is also like Tang Bohu, worried that these Ming intellectuals have bewitched too many people and created more pedantic people who advocate the past and worship the ancients, so that the entire empire will become more closed, and the people of today will be even less confident, and they will only retro and not innovate.

But there is no way to refute it, because no one can go back to the past, and the common people do not know for a while that the older they are, the less rights they have, and that they were slaves in the past, but now at least yeoman farmers who can own private property.

"It's okay, if they talk about Zou Ji sarcastically talking about the king of Qi, you will talk about the white-haired girl I asked you to write, they pay attention to the relationship between the court and the court, you will pay attention to the relationship between the people and the people, and then the people will understand who is right, and the people's hearts cannot be deceived and cannot be fooled, only those who want to take advantage of the benefits and want to become slave owners will be fooled and deceived; In addition, the right to interpret history cannot be in the hands of those old Hanlin. ”

As soon as Zhu Houzhao said this, Tang Bohu also nodded: "The minister understands that Zhu Yunming is estimated to be in Nanjing soon, and the pear orchard he hosted will have a great impact on the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River." ”

Zhu Houzhao also nodded, it was his idea to let Zhu Yunming go to Nanjing to develop drama, after all, Jiangnan is still the place where the Ming court needs to control the most, and Zhu Yunming went to Nanjing to get ahead of the Jiangnan gentry and first guide the literate people through drama.

For these civil officials who failed in the court, they were indeed unwilling to lose their political rights like this.

Generally speaking, many people will go to the literary field to find success if they fail in the officialdom, and these civil officials are no exception.

Yan Hong found Lun Wenxu, who was born as a champion:

"Brother Bochou, although we are frustrated with the court and have to resign for the people, this does not mean that we have to sit back and watch the government be controlled by these traitorous villains! We want to let the people of the world know the ugly faces of those traitors and villains in the court!

However, now newspapers and periodicals such as Huangming Bao and Daming News are still helping those villains in the DPRK to speak, saying that they are real loyal ministers and really thinking about the society, saying that those of us who resigned are playing tricks and are angry little daughters-in-law! ”

"We can't let these newspapers turn right and wrong! Now that we are no longer court officials, let's use the pen in our hands to let the world understand who is the gentleman and who is the villain! ”

As soon as Yan Hong said this, Lun Wenxu also responded positively:

"What Zhong Zhou said is extremely true, the court is just a struggle for power, and His Majesty is not a dumb monarch today, and the dynasty will not collapse, but it is these folk remarks that are really a big disaster!

Now these folk remarks are not only reversing right and wrong, but denigrating the orthodoxy of Confucianism and preaching the words of a hundred schools of miscellaneous harvests, and even some scholars and doctors have responded!

There are Tang Bohu and Zhu Yunming, who will only be nostalgic for the Qinglou wine shop, and they are eunuchs inside and prostitutes outside, and the sin of the gentry is greater than the sin of the eunuchs! Isn't that deviant! ”

"Not only self-depraved literati like Tang Bohu, but even famous scholars like Wang Shouren openly advocated their own original psychology, and also proposed the unity of knowledge and action;

Zi said, knowing his fate is casual, but he has a unity of knowledge and action, he Wang Shouren is betraying the words of the sage! The crime is punishable!

There is also Xia Yan, a cadre, who actually spoke for the Three Treasures, and said that he would uphold the will of the Three Treasures and raise the prestige of the Ming Dynasty on the sea! Even more bewitched, His Majesty supported him, and allocated 100,000 yuan of silver to help him tour the west! was originally a Confucian person, but he recognized a eunuch as a virtuous! Already a traitor to Rulin! ”

Yan Hong also echoed and continued: "In this case, Brother Bo Chou, we will use words to let the people of the world let His Majesty understand what the right way is!" ”

"Lun will do his best!" Lun Wenxu was also excited for a while, and hurriedly responded.
