After Hang Huai asked, none of the imperial historians was willing to be responsible for the filing of a case against Xue Fengming and Dai Guan.

Needless to say, Xue Fengming is the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and no one wants to convict his friends in the same court.

When Dai Guan was asked to impeach Dai Guan, the Metropolitan Procuratorate chose to protect Dai Guan, and now naturally no imperial history civil official is willing to judge Dai Guan's guilt.

Seeing this, Zuodu Yushi Hanghuai had to instruct Yan Hong, the deputy capital Yushi: "Yan Vice Xian, you choose two imperial histories to take over this case, now that Dongchang has taken out the charges, we can't ignore it, otherwise it will be unconstitutional, it will be a corpse vegetarian meal, it will be dereliction of duty, in that way, the people of Dongchang will have more reason to rectify us!" ”

"Now Your Majesty's methods are becoming more and more unfathomable, no one thought that he would let Dongchang inspect and force our Metropolitan Procuratorate to file a case, this is not using eunuchs to manage civil officials, this is forcing our civil officials to restrain each other! If we don't supervise the hundred officials to deal with the corrupt officials, Your Majesty will let Dongchang force us to supervise the hundred officials! ”

Although Hang Huai realized that the imperial power would become heavier and heavier, he was helpless, even though he was the imperial history of the left capital.

"Humph!"

Yan Hong looked angrily at Zuodu Yushi Hanghuai at this time, and arched his hand and said:

"Hang Gong, you can't sit back and watch Dongchang behave so recklessly in front of my Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dongchang has set up an inspection department in our Metropolitan Procuratorate, detained civil officials, and let our Metropolitan Procuratorate punish these civil officials, our Metropolitan Procuratorate will not become his lackey of Dongchang, how can I have the face of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

Zuodu Yushi Hanghuai admitted in his heart that what Yan Hong said was right, the Metropolitan Procuratorate could only act in accordance with the rules of the court from now on, and could not use his supervisory power to govern the king, but as the Zuodu Yushi, in order to keep his official position, he naturally couldn't admit it clearly, but only shouted and reprimanded Yan Hong:

"Shut up!"

Hang Huai slapped the table, and continued to reprimand: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate is supervising hundreds of officials under the order of the Son of Heaven, and according to the outline of the Constitution, it has the power to file cases for impeachment, how can he be a lackey of Dongchang!" ”

As soon as Hang Huai said this, Yan Hong and the other imperial historians all shut up, but they still looked at Hang Huai with resentment on their faces, looking at the pile of incriminating evidence.

Seeing this, Hang Huai couldn't bear to let the situation of the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate be so stiff, and at the same time deliberately reminded these officials underneath, so he said in a gentle tone: "Besides, this is Your Majesty's will, how can you go against it, you should do things with sincerity, is it possible that you still dare to resign and force Your Majesty to fail." ”

"What Hang Gong said is very true, I dare not say anything about the fault of the monarch's father, since this is the case, I can only resign!"

Yan Hong knew that Hang Huai was reminding the officials under him to force the emperor to resign in groups, so he took the words, took off the black veil from his head, and then turned around and asked:

"Everyone, who is willing to resign with Yan, is it possible that you are all willing to be the lackeys of the eunuchs?!"

"He is willing to resign!"

At this time, Yushi He Shaozheng stood up.

"Chen is willing to resign!"

Yushi Chen Xiang also stood up.

"Li is willing to resign!"

"Zhang is willing to resign!"

"Xu is willing to resign!"

……

Many imperial historians have expressed their resignation to express their indignation at the establishment of the East Factory Inspectorate to inspect hundreds of officials.

Zuodu Yushi Hanghuai saw that these imperial historians under him were so excited, and they all threatened to resign, but they were also very happy in their hearts, and they did not blame the public, and only in this way could their Majesty see the determination of most of the imperial historians below, and perhaps let His Majesty make concessions, so as not to let Dongchang interfere with the supervision power of his Metropolitan Procuratorate.

But he knew that if he wanted to keep his official position as the imperial history of the left capital, he could not show that he only cared about the power of his own imperial court and the civil official group, and he had to show that he had to think about the overall situation and the imperial court.

Therefore, Zuodu Yushi Hanghuai only persuaded him earnestly: "Don't be impulsive!" With His Majesty's wisdom, he will not let the eunuchs dictate power, and now the establishment of the Inspectorate Department in the East Factory is only due to the traitor's slander! You are also disciples of saints, how can you abandon the king and abandon the people of the world! ”

"We are not resigning to abandon the king, nor to abandon the people, but we can't bear to be in the same league with traitors and thieves! Xue Gong is now being tortured by Dongchang to extract a confession, presumably because he repeatedly impeached the traitor Zhang Xuan! But Your Majesty has been deceived by traitors and thieves, and we can only resign to ask Your Majesty to distinguish the heart of loyalty and traitor! ”

Yan Hong, the deputy of the left capital, knew that Hang Huai persuaded him not because he didn't want his people to resign, but because he was in the position of the imperial history of the capital, he couldn't provoke the palace to force the palace, so he insisted on resigning.

"Yes, resign!"

"If you can't admonish the king, you can only resign and go into hiding!"

"If you don't resign, do you still want to be a cow and horse for eunuchs and traitors?!"

For a while, these imperial historians began to discuss one after another.

Hang Huai saw that his goal had been achieved, and the imperial historians below expressed their intention to resign, so they persuaded again: "Quiet down!" Listen to the words of this general constitution, even if you want to resign, you have to follow the rules, we are the Fengxian officials, we can't let the court say that we don't understand the rules, and those who want to resign will write their resignations! When the time comes, the official will be sent to the palace together, and it will be decided by His Majesty! ”

As a result, many of these deputy imperial historians, imperial historians, and supervising imperial historians began to write their resignations, and they were all handed over to Hang Huai, the imperial history of the left capital.

Hang Huai took these resignations into the palace.

As the imperial history of the left capital, in charge of the supervision of the Ming Empire, Hanghuai is under the direct control of His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Houzhao, therefore, you can also see Zhu Houzhao directly, without seeing the cabinet ministers.

Zhu Houzhao also met with Hang Huai, and even he already knew Hang Huai's intention to come here, but he didn't debunk it, and only asked: "Hang Zongxian, why are you holding so many songs, Dongchang reported that there is a lawlessness in your Metropolitan Procuratorate to supervise the imperial history Xue Fengming to slander the courtiers, have you all filed a case with the Procuratorate, but can you submit it?" There is also the matter of the former head of the household department, Dai Guan, leaving his post without permission, can he submit it? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the ministers are incompetent, Xue Fengming, the superintendent of the Imperial History, and the former head of the household department wear a crown with a very high prestige among the hundred officials, so no one in the Metropolitan Procuratorate is willing to file a case for the above, and they have successively asked to resign, almost all the Fengxian officials of the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate, the ministers dare not make arbitrary claims, and I hereby ask Your Majesty to show it!"

Hang Huai first made a long gesture, first admitted that he was incompetent, in order to avoid Emperor Zhu Houzhao blaming him for most of the resignation of the imperial history (equivalent to a strike), and then said that he could not be the master, and he needed His Majesty to be the master, that is to say, His Majesty needed to make a compromise.

"These are all the resignations of the imperial historians?" Zhu Houzhao asked.

"It's all!" Hang Huai replied.

"This Xue Fengming and Dai Guan are really very prestigious, the imperial historians of this world will give up their supervision responsibilities for them, and threaten to resign!" Zhu Houzhao said with a smile.
