Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, the faces of the hundred officials in the court turned white. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A hundred court staffs, this is still life? This Yu Qingdao is going to be beaten to death today.

Although Yu Qingdao is not a big official, he is also one of the rising stars of the Donglin Party. The Donglin Party praised each other, saying that he wrote well and was known as a famous writer. Unexpectedly, today this famous man was beaten to death by the Son of Heaven with a court staff.

Having controlled the inside and outside of the capital, the Son of Heaven is really the Son of Heaven now, and he is no longer the young emperor who is afraid of civil officials.

Several Dongchang fanzi in green clothes rushed up, arrested Yu Qingdao, who was speechless, and escorted him to the noon gate for torture.

Those fans are all subordinates of Wang Dehua, the eunuch of Dongchang, and they have nothing to do with these civil officials, and they are ruthless in pushing Yu Qingdao at this time. Obviously, when these fans hit the board, they will also be ruthless.

The civil officials in the court are also human beings, and they are all afraid of death, and they can't help but show a look of cringe after witnessing this scene. For a long time, no one spoke.

Zhu Youzhen sat on the dragon chair and looked at the civil officials below in a hurry.

The Ming Dynasty used the imperial examination to select scholars, and the officials were all scholars who read the books of sages. It can be said that as long as he is an official, he is a gentry, and his stance on "Juntian Fu" is the same as that of the Donglin Party. Faced with the desire to abolish the privileges of officials, the first reaction of civil officials can only be hostility, opposition, and finally take action to counterattack.

At present, Zhu Youzhen has not changed the national policy of taking the imperial examination, and it is impossible to kill all the civil officials, so Zhu Youzhen cannot change the position of all civil officials.

But Zhu Youzhen, as an emperor with the military power of the Beijing camp, can suppress civil officials who dare to come forward.

You can't kill everyone, but you can kill those who stand up and shout. When the civil officials were afraid of words like tigers and silent cicadas, Zhu Youzhen succeeded.

As long as all the civil officials did not dare to speak out in the end, Zhu Youzhen had a group of bureaucrats who had to carry out his orders.

Zhu Youzhen stroked his long beard lightly, and looked coldly at the civil officials in the court, to see which one dared to come out to oppose it.

The officials looked at each other, looking at each other, wanting to speak but not daring. At this time, they all hoped that they would go up to the top and fire at the Son of Heaven instead of themselves.

In the end, everyone looked at Fan Jingwen, a scholar of Dongge University.

After Qian Qianyi's death, the Donglin Party was leaderless. Wang Duo, the first assistant of the cabinet, is sleek and difficult to stand out, and even has some heads and rats. In order to avoid trouble, he even helped Wei Zhongxian revise the "Three Dynasties Classics" to attack the Donglin Party. Therefore, although Wang Duo is very old in Donglin, he cannot become the leader of Donglin.

At this critical moment, Wang Duo really looked at his nose and nose, and his nose looked at his heart, and he didn't say a word.

Wang Duo has always been overwhelmed by his responsibilities, and Fan Jingwen, a cabinet scholar with excellent private morality, returned to the public, raised the banner of Donglin, and became the civil leader of the court.

At this time, the Son of Heaven wants to deprive the people of the world of tax exemption, and the Donglin Party can't just because of the death of Yu Qingdao. At this moment, everyone hopes that Fan Jingwen will come out to speak. Fan Jingwengui is a cabinet scholar, as long as he speaks carefully, the emperor will never beat him to death, right?

Fan Jingwen also knew that the momentum of the Son of Heaven today was different from the past, and he was afraid that it would be dangerous to come out at this time. He couldn't help but be a little nervous when he saw everyone looking at him.

However, at this moment, he, the leader of Donglin, could not help but say a word. He gritted his teeth and stood up with his toothtag in hand.

"Chen Fan Jingwen has something to say."

Zhu Youzhen saw the cabinet scholar stand up and tapped the armrest of the dragon chair with his fingers.

"Say!"

"The minister thinks that the Holy Majesty cannot exempt scholars from the privilege of exemption."

"Although my Great Ming Law does not explicitly stipulate that scholars are exempt from the right of grant, it has been a local practice since the Hongguang Dynasty. This is now the rule of the world. Under these rules, scholars studied hard in order to one day get ahead and accept a few acres of contributions from small people. ”

"If these privileges are abolished, what will the scholars of the world eat? The scholar Han Window has finally gained a reputation for decades, which is according to the rules of my Ming Dynasty. The small people took their fields and offered them to the scholars, so that they were exempt from taxes, which was also according to the rules. If the Son of Heaven cancels this rule all of a sudden, how do the scholars in the world think of the saint? What do the small people who have sacrificed themselves to the Scholars think of the Holy One? Are there any rules in this world? ”

"When the rules are broken, people's hearts are absent, and it is easy to move and difficult to settle."

"The truth here, please think twice."

When Fan Jingwen saw Yu Qingdao's death, he was still afraid in his heart. At this time, he stood up and spoke, and said it extremely tactfully, not only to let the Son of Heaven understand that Juntian Fu would make the gentry rebel, but also not to anger Long Yan, and said it extremely reluctantly. In the end, he used the most obscure language such as "easy to move and difficult to settle", and warned Zhu Youzhen on behalf of the Donglin Party.

Hearing Fan Jingwen's words, Zhu Youzhen stood up and paced a few steps on the high platform in front of the throne. At this time, Zhu Youzhen no longer needed to care about the public opinion of civil officials, and there was no need to abide by the etiquette of the Son of Heaven everywhere. Even if it is against the etiquette of the court meeting to stand up and speak, the civil officials dare not say a word.

"Fan Jingwen, if it is Yieryan, it is natural for the gentry to force the poor peasants in Henan, Shaanxi and Huguang to oppose it. And I am the master of the people once, and the fields of the world are equalized, is it a great rebellion to force the gentry who oppose the world? ”

Zhu Youzhen sneered and said: "Fan Jingwen, as a cabinet scholar, he doesn't worry about the society or the temple, he only knows how to stick to the improper selfish interests of the gentry. ”

"Fan Jingwen, what's the use of me wanting a scholar like you to be a scholar of the East Pavilion University?"

Zhu Youzhen said and spoke, and finally shouted angrily. Fan Jingwen heard the angry shouts of the Son of Heaven like this, his face was so frightened that he took a few steps back.

"Holy Peace! Death penalty! ”

"You get it!" Zhu Youzhen shook the long sleeves of the dragon robe, and shouted angrily: "Fan Jingwen bullied the monarch and threatened the widow!" Someone came, took Fan Jingwen down for me, took his official body and put him in prison, and carefully interrogated him if he had colluded with the Jiangbei Army who rebelled against the imperial court! ”

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, the civil officials in the court looked at each other one by one. Fan Jingwen is dignified and old, and he was sent to prison for saying a few words like that?

The leader of Donglin is going to be sent to prison, of course he must be saved! Li Yuzhi, the head of the household, jumped out suddenly and said loudly: "Holy Shang! Fan Jingwen is not at fault for his words to seek the country. ”

Li Yuzhi was a veteran of the Four Dynasties, a scholar of the household department, and a high position in the imperial court. Everyone saw that Li Yuzhi had come out to save people, and secretly said that Fan Jingwen was saved now.

However, Zhu Youzhen just glanced at Li Yuzhi, and said coldly: "Li Yuzhi and Fan Jingwen are engaged in the party for personal gain, and they must be investigated." Someone came, stripped Li Yuzhi's official uniform, and sent him to the edict prison for careful examination. ”

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, the hundred officials opened their mouths wide and couldn't say a word.

Li Yuzhi just said a word to save him, and after saying a word, he was robbed of office and sent to prison?

The Son of Heaven was so fierce that no one dared to speak out for a while. At this time, the officials understood that the Son of Heaven was now in control of the capital and was determined to change the law, and the civil officials could no longer be allowed to disobey his will.

In this court, it will be the hall of the Son of Heaven in the future.

Dongchang Fanzi rushed up, stripped the old Fan Jingwen and Li Yuzhi's black gauze hats and official robes, and pushed and shoved them down.

Zhu Youzhen looked at the silent hundred officials, walking back and forth in front of the throne, but he didn't see a single challenger stand up.

The Son of Heaven sneered and said coldly: "Fan Jingwen has been taken down, and a position has been vacated in the cabinet. Zhang Guanghang is loyal and diligent, but he is up to the task, so he will enter the cabinet tomorrow. ”

Without Jiuqing's "court push", Zhu Youzhen broke the rule of electing cabinet ministers by the civil election system, and in a word, he promoted Zhang Guanghang, who had always opposed civil officials and supported Li Zhi, to a cabinet scholar.

It's changed, it's really changed.

The officials were already colorless and speechless.

Zhang Guanghang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, fell to the ground excitedly and sang loudly: "The minister respectfully obeys the order, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”
