Chapter 343: Cutting the Imperial History of the Left Capital
"If Hou Lu was really instructed by Gao Zhong, why Hou Lu refused to confess in the edict is question one;
If Gao Zhong wants to frame Xu Jin, why bother so much, why didn't he secretly send Xichang Eyeliner to put firearms in his mansion to accuse him, this is question two;
Gao Zhong is not the prime minister of the ceremonial superintendent, Xu Jin is not the first assistant of the cabinet, why are the two incompatible, not to mention that I am not dead, whether it is the ceremonial supervisor or the cabinet, it is necessary to harm each other? This is question three; β
Zhu Houzhao looked at Ni Song after saying three questions.
Ni Song smiled and said: "Everything can't escape the eyes of Your Majesty, and the minister also thinks that this matter is quite suspicious, Lu Kai only relied on rumors and Hai Ruiyan Emperor Mingbao to expose the fraud of the court push is the evidence of the West Factory, and he impeached the minister without authorization, which is really hasty, and the minister has already reprimanded him." β
"Hai Jui?"
Zhu Houzhao secretly became suspicious, and wanted to hear what Ni Song meant, it was the rumor that Hai Rui was walking, and the rumor said that Xichang was framing the cabinet minister Xu Jin? When did this Hai Jui have this scheming, and when did the entire civilian-bureaucratic group look ahead?
Ni Song saw that Zhu Houzhao was displeased, so he knew that his last words had been listened to by His Majesty the Emperor, and began to suspect that Hai Rui was coming, thinking to himself, Hai Rui, an official who doesn't understand the rules of officialdom and doesn't know how to tell the superior civil officials first and then execute it, don't think about it being reused by the emperor now!
"Next, deposing Hai Rui will naturally be a matter of course", Ni Song laughed secretly.
In fact, Zhu Houzhao did not confirm that Hai Rui was really a rumor-monger and a person who intended to provoke a dispute between the outer and inner courts, but was wondering why Hai Rui was a well-known upright minister in history, and he had never been tolerated by the civilian official group, so how could he become a villain who played right and wrong behind his back in the eyes of Ni Song?
Zhu Hou glanced up at Ni Song suddenly, and saw that Ni Song had a smug look between his eyebrows, so he put down Hai Rui's matter for the time being, and only smiled: "Ni Aiqing seems to be in a very good mood, there have been a lot of discussions about businessmen interfering in politics and why the poor are poor, I want to hear your opinion?" β
Ni Song didn't know why His Majesty the Emperor suddenly said this, but he didn't want to ask too much, so he had to reply stubbornly: "Back to Your Majesty, the country and the dynasty take the people with excellent talents, and there has never been a saying that those who are good at doing business are reused as officials, and naturally there is no businessman to interfere in politics, and the reason why the poor are poor must be because of laziness and lack of hard work." β
Zhu Houzhao only smiled and nodded after hearing this: "Well, I know, you can step back, this Lu Kai's recital, you dismiss it, and warn him not to say anything, if you really think that there is a matter of Da Jue framing Zhongliang, it is best to have direct evidence, just the conclusion that it is the West Factory that exposed the matter can only show that the West Factory has played a positive role in maintaining the dynasty, and cannot prove that Gao Zhong is suspected of framing Xu Ge Lao." β
"I understand! Retire! β
Ni Song retreated, he didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to punish Gao Zhong because of Lu Kai's negligence, after all, he also knew that the emperor was not a dumb king, and he would not let the emperor deal with Gao Zhong, the commander of Xichang, based on just some rumors and inferences.
He did this nothing more than to complete the task given by Xu Jin, to show Gao Zhong, and let Gao Zhong understand that Xichang listened to His Majesty's words like this, and our civil officials were very unhappy.
Gao Zhong did know about this very quickly, and slapped the table on the spot angrily: "What do the civil officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate want to do, it is Your Majesty's will for Xichang to expose this matter!" If you want to frame them, your majesty will also frame them! β
"Father-in-law said cautiously, you can't say that in this matter, this is Xu Ge Lao is warning you, the implication, you, the commander of the West Factory, can't only have His Majesty in his eyes, and the civil officials also have to give face", Gao Zhong himself raised the Qing guest and hurriedly persuaded.
Gao Zhong only understood when he heard this, and couldn't help but say: "Is this world the emperor's world, or the world of their civil officials, why, the governor still wants to give them face!" β
"The outline of the constitution doesn't say that all the people are the lords of the Ming Dynasty, and the scholars are the real people of the Ming Dynasty.
Gao Zhong couldn't help but sigh when he heard this: "This celebrant is difficult to do!" Not only do you have to serve Your Majesty well, but you also have to be careful of these scholars! β
β¦β¦
It was May, and it was still bright at the beginning, and the transfer was stormy, so Zhu Houzhao had to hurriedly run from the plum forest in Xiyuan to a long pavilion to hide from the rain.
"Recently, is there a new performance from the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" Zhu Houzhao asked.
Meng Jin hurriedly replied: "Back to Your Majesty, no." β
"This Ni Song, really suppressed these imperial historians and made them dare not be angry? Even if it is really suppressed, is it possible that there are really few heroes in the world who dare to stand up to the powerful, so wouldn't it be a waste of effort to popularize education? Did the scholars of the workers and peasants really forget their beliefs? β
Zhu Houzhao asked in his heart.
But just when Zhu Houzhao was secretly puzzled, Gao Zhong ran over in the rain in a panic: "Your Majesty, Yang Jisheng, the superintendent of the imperial history, knelt outside the palace gate to impeach Ni Song, the imperial history of the left capital, and said that Ni Song has repeatedly concealed illegal things and deceived the superiors and subordinates, and the recent court push fraud has also been suppressed by him for several days, making His Majesty deceived by the ministers!" β
"Yang Jisheng?"
Zhu Houzhao's boredom accumulated in his heart was also like this sultry day being washed away by a hearty rain, so he hurried to the palace gate.
On the same day, Zhu Houzhao summoned Yang Jisheng: "Let's talk about it, why do you want to impeach Ni Song, the imperial history of the left capital?!" β
"Returning to Your Majesty, there is empirical evidence that the revelation of the fraud by the court push in the "Huangming Pao" has obviously aroused public indignation, but the general constitution Ni Song has forced us to act on the grounds that the truth of the "Huangming Pao" is unclear;
However, "Huangming Bao" is an official newspaper of the imperial court, so naturally it will not be deceitful, but Ni Song doubts its authenticity, which shows bad intentions! Our imperial history is angry that it does not know justice, and jointly impeached Ni Song, the imperial history of the left capital! Your Majesty, please make a clear decision! β
Yang Jisheng replied.
"Allow the request of Yang Jisheng, the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and order the Dongchang Inspectorate to immediately detain Ni Song and suspend his post as the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Procuratorate!" Zhu Houzhao granted Yang Jisheng's invitation without thinking.
Because Zhu Houzhao had long waited for a civil official who dared to uphold justice to stand up and impeach Ni Song, so now that Yang Jisheng did this, he naturally did not hesitate.
At this time, Ni Song also knew about this, and couldn't help but rush towards the imperial city: "What does he Yang Jisheng want to do!" This official is the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and if he doesn't make it clear to the official in advance, who will give him the courage to go directly to the palace gate to make trouble! What a bastard! β
Ni Song was very angry, he really didn't expect that such a civil official who didn't care about anything would dare to do this, and would disobey the rules of the entire officialdom.
After Ni Song scolded a few words, he threatened: "Doesn't he want his own career?!" β
However, at this time, the East Factory Inspectorate also happened to arrive and surrounded Ni Song in the center.
"Ni Zongxian, come with us", the people from the East Factory Inspectorate said and dragged Ni Song away on the spot.
Ni Song struggled: "What are you doing here, let me go, the old man wants to see Your Majesty!" The old man wants to impeach him Yang Jisheng, he Yang Jisheng does not follow the rules and regulations, as the imperial historian, he does not play the general constitution first, but he makes trouble at the palace gate without authorization! You should go get him! β
The East Factory Inspectorate ignored it.
In fact, Zhu Houzhao also said that if there is any illegality in the imperial history of Zuodu, the imperial history can directly come to the palace gate to report to the higher level.
Therefore, Yang Jisheng is not against the rules by doing this.
"Your Majesty, Ni Song explained the reason why he suppressed the Imperial History to report the court to push the fraud, the reason is that he doesn't want to make this matter big", not long after, Lu Long, the governor of Dongchang, said to Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao said: "This is not a reason why he should obstruct the way of speech, interfering with the affairs of the imperial court is really a crime of misleading the country, and he should be punished!" Immediate execution by the Ministry of Execution! β
Ni Song never dreamed that he would be executed so soon, and he couldn't believe it for a while, so he hurriedly shouted to the eunuch who announced the decree: "No, this is impossible!" How could Your Majesty be willing to kill me like that! I didn't obstruct the way, the old man just postponed it a little, just to postpone it! β
The eunuch who pronounced the decree ignored him and walked away with the decree.
And Ni Song was soon escorted to the execution ground and beheaded for public display.
β¦β¦
"Ni Zongxian was abandoned like this?"
Xu Jin said with some astonishment, and then couldn't help touching the back of his neck, he naturally knew why the emperor wanted to kill Ni Song, and it was not because Ni Song abused his power and touched the emperor's scales, as the imperial history of Zuodu, he should have reported it immediately after knowing about it, instead of thinking about suppressing the matter, after all, exposing the fraud of the court was instructed by the emperor, but you Ni Song dragged it out and didn't report it, obviously trying to save some people.
"This is the end of rebellion against the holy will! Your Majesty is still so ruthless and decisive! It's a pity that Ni Gong, he died for our civil officials, if he hadn't dragged on for a while, maybe I would have died."
Xu Jin secretly sighed in his heart, and then couldn't help but slap the table, and said viciously: "One Hai Rui has not been eliminated, and now there is another Yang Jisheng!" What the hell are these people trying to do! Why are they so ignorant of the rules! β
"Ge Lao is angry, Hai Rui, Yang Jisheng and others are not all the way with us, they are poor eunuchs, they love to put the interests of workers and farmers above the gentry, they are also deeply poisoned by the theory of the sacred class, thinking that we are the spokesmen of the merchant class, and the representatives of the collusion between officials and businessmen! Therefore, from the very beginning, they regarded us as enemies, why should we regard them as friends, now that he killed his father, the lower officials must also let him Yang Jisheng pay for his blood debts! β
Ni Yuanlin gritted his teeth and said.
Xu Jin couldn't help but sigh when he heard Ni Yuanlin say this: "This is the bane of Your Majesty's national education in the past, the more people who read, the more divided it is, for Shilin, it's really not a good thing!" β
β¦β¦
Xia Yan also learned at this time that Yang Jisheng participated in the impeachment of Ni Song, which led to Ni Song being beheaded in less than three days, and he clapped his hands for a while and said quickly: "This Ni Song died unjustly!" As the imperial history of Zuodu, he was willing to be lowly and willing to be a lackey of the cabinet, and now he is executed, which is enough to see the wisdom and decisiveness of His Majesty! β
Although he has no conclusive evidence, with many years of court experience, he can also guess that Ni Song must have colluded with Xu Jin, otherwise he would not have asked Ni Song, the imperial history of the left capital, to immediately come to His Majesty the Emperor because of a rumor that Xichang had slandered Xu Jin.
Xia Yan secretly congratulated his Emperor His Majesty for his insight into the current situation, but also sighed that there were vacancies in important positions in the ministries such as the Ministry of Officials, and now the post of Imperial History of Zuodu was also vacant because of Ni Song's beheading, making how to appoint new officials to fill these important positions as soon as possible became the most urgent matter.
But because the current procedure for selecting officials is to pass the court push, Xia Yan has to once again advise His Majesty the Emperor to reform the court push system.
Zhu Houzhao also knew that the official positions of the Ministry of Officials, the left and right servants of the Ministry of Officials, and the Imperial History of Zuodu must be determined, and Tingtui did need to be changed, not only to concentrate power to improve efficiency, but also to prevent businessmen from interfering in politics.
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao still decided to adopt Xia Yan's previous proposal, so he issued an edict appointing Xia Yan, the first assistant of the cabinet, Xu Jin, the second assistant of the cabinet, Zhang Rong, the privy envoy of the Guards and the British Gong, and Jiang Dong, the privy deputy envoy of the Guards, as the ministers of parliament, set up a parliamentary office, and decided to promote officials.
This edict caused an uproar in the world.
Of course, it will naturally take some time for the edict to be known to the people of the world and start making trouble, and during this time, Zhu Houzhao and these officials have begun to hold a new form of court promotion meeting and begin to decide on the selection of new officials.
Zhu Houzhao asked Xia Yan to temporarily take charge of the post of secretary of the ministry, responsible for the nomination of alternative officials.
Xu Jin was naturally very repulsed in his heart, this kind of new court tui, which was only decided by the emperor and a few important ministers.
Because he knew that this would mean that most civil officials would lose the opportunity to influence the government and politics, and they would not be able to become dignitaries by accumulating fame, but he knew that what the emperor had decided, and it was pointless for him to oppose it, but he believed that many civil officials behind him would definitely not agree to the emperor's behavior of letting only a few people decide on major affairs of the court.
However, what Xu Jin didn't expect was that His Majesty the Emperor would let Wuchen Xungui serve as the Minister of Parliament!
When Xu Jin saw the British Gong Zhang Rong and the Jiangdong rank of the Guards standing in the same newly given python robe as he walked into the hall, his whole person was as if he had been struck by lightning, and he was surprised!
"Why, when, Your Majesty actually wanted the military ministers to make decisions on important matters! Wouldn't this completely put the martial artists and the literati on an equal footing! β
Not only Xu Jin was very shocked, but even Xia Yan didn't expect that although His Majesty the Emperor adopted his own proposal to set up a parliamentary office and establish a system of parliamentary ministers, he did not make the ministers of parliament all civil officials.
However, although Xia Yan is also a civil official, he has led soldiers, and he does not exclude the army, and if you look carefully, except for the British Gong Zhang Rong, Jiangdong is not a military attachΓ©, at most he is a civil minister who manages the military affairs of the empire, not to mention that even if it is the British Gong Zhang Rong, he also graduated from a regular school, and his knowledge is no worse than that of a literati.
Therefore, Xia Yan didn't say much, not to mention, Xia Yan also knew that it was the emperor's power to appoint who was the minister of parliament, and if he wanted to interfere with who the emperor appointed as the minister of parliament, it would be tantamount to arrogance, and Zhu Houzhao had every reason to kill him directly.
In fact, Xia Yan could also guess why the emperor did this, saying that it was naturally not to let the military attachΓ© dictatorship, after all, he did not say that he would not let civil officials become ministers of parliament, the emperor did nothing more than to let the empire continue to maintain a state of external expansion militarily, so that the empire would not appear to be in vain.
