On the first day of February, Emperor Chongzhen had already informed the cabinet and the celebrant one day in advance that it had been cancelled. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Because he knew that those courtiers who opposed the opening of the sea or wanted to raise objections must have already held back enough energy to make a big deal at this great court meeting, and there will definitely be a group of opposing recitals on the way to Beijing.

He already cares about the opposition above the court, after all, the cabinet ministers and the Hubu Shangshu, which has the greatest relationship with Kaihai among the six ministries, have already stood on the side of Kaihai, and the edict of Kaihai has already been announced and issued, even if there are many opposition voices above the court, as long as Emperor Chongzhen himself does not let go, they are actually helpless except after the blind quarrel.

However, the magistrates involved in the opening of the sea were different, and if the officials responsible for the specific implementation of the policy of opening the sea were stubborn and obstructed or boycotted from it, then the problem would be serious and would probably lead to the emperor's decision-making being distorted.

Therefore, the performance of these people must be paid attention to.

However, at present, these voices of opposition or support are still on the way.

Therefore, instead of struggling with these courtiers who have little to do with them in the court, it is better to wait for the local governors who are directly involved to express their attitudes and deal with them together.

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen's idea was proposed, it was quickly endorsed by the cabinet and several ministers of military aircraft.

Now this young emperor, the skill of handling court politics really impresses them.

And those opponents who were full of strength and were ready to fight with Bi Ziyan, the head of the household department, and Su Maoxiang, the left attendant of the household department, who advocated the opening of the sea, were told that the court meeting was canceled on the first day of the new year, and they were flashed for a moment, and suddenly had the feeling of being punched on the cotton.

Except for a few who became more stubborn, some other followers also seemed to understand what the emperor meant, and they wanted to retreat a little in their hearts.

Emperor Chongzhen's cancellation of the Shuori court meeting on the first day of the second lunar month could not let the opponents of the opening of the sea die down, and some of the die-hards instead intensified their efforts and wrote a letter again, criticizing and educating the emperor for not abiding by the ancestral system and listening to slanderous rumors, while impeaching Su Maoxiang, the left attendant of the household department, and Bi Ziyan, the secretary of the household department, misled the emperor and caused trouble to the country.

Among them, Ren Shu, who was born in Xinghua, Nanzhi, also wrote to impeach Li Guoyi, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Su Maoxiang, the left attendant of the household department, as the remnants of the eunuch party, saying that they had ulterior motives for encouraging the emperor to open the sea, and asked the emperor not to listen to and believe in these remnants of the eunuch party who were still hidden in the court, and at the same time asked the emperor to find out who else was the remnant of such a eunuch party, and to give an explanation to the people of the world, and so on.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of opposing the opening of the sea, the Ministry of Officials impeached Li Guowei, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Su Maoxiang, the left servant of the household department, as the remnants of the eunuch party, which was completely a common routine in party struggles in the late Ming Dynasty, to morally discredit opponents, and then negate any policy they proposed, even if the policy itself was completely correct.

This kind of practice of engaging in party strife by opposing the opening of the sea, and then messing up the policy through party strife, is intolerable to the current Emperor Chongzhen.

In the past, all the courtiers who talked about opening the sea, Emperor Chongzhen adopted the consistent method of Emperor Shizong Jiajing and Emperor Shenzong Wanli, that is, they all stayed in the middle and did not care.

However, when this trick encounters this kind of thing, it is not a matter of facts, but of people, and it is about the first assistant of the cabinet and the minister who presided over the policy of opening the sea, and Emperor Chongzhen could not help but ask.

Because if you ignore it, it is likely to send the wrong signal to some people, including Li Guowei and Su Maoxiang, who may be impeached according to the custom.

This is what Emperor Chongzhen does not want to see.

As soon as Ren Shu's performance was announced, not only the emperor could not remain indifferent, but Li Guoqi and Su Maoxiang couldn't sit still.

Su Maoxiang is over seventy years old, and he was about to go home smoothly, if it weren't for the emperor's decision to open the sea and let him come out to preside, he would have made a request for Zhishi to go home after the New Year.

He thought that he had never made a decision for decades since he was a Zhongjinshi, because he had never encountered such an opportunity, and now the emperor entrusted him with this great policy, he just gave up his life to do a good job in this important matter for the benefit of the country and the people, but before everything started, he encountered all kinds of resistance in the court.

Now some people have come forward to impeach themselves as the remnants of the eunuch party because of this incident, and they want to label themselves as a eunuch who has already stinked on the street, and knock themselves down, which is really unexpected.

After thinking about it, Su Maoxiang still came to meet the emperor and see the emperor's attitude.

When Su Maoxiang went to the palace gate to ask for an audience, Emperor Chongzhen was receiving Li Guowei in the Qianqing Palace.

All the comments on the imperial court's decision to open the sea had been read by Li Guoyan, as the first assistant of the cabinet, to the Qianqing Palace.

Among them, the impeachment of him and Su Maoxiang is a badge for the remnants of the eunuch party, and of course he also saw it.

The cabinet hall was within the noon gate, so the moon was first obtained near the water, and not long after confirming that the celebrant had handed the note into the Qianqing Palace, Li Guowei came to ask the emperor to see him.

His purpose was the same as Su Maoxiang's, and if the emperor himself wavered on this issue, then they would choose to give up.

Emperor Chongzhen was talking to Li Guoyi, and heard that Su Maoxiang also came to ask to see him, so he asked him to pass him in.

After Su Maoxiang came in, he finished his courtesy, and saw that Li Guoyi was also present, and immediately understood the reason why Shoufu was present, and immediately said: "The minister heard that because of the opening of the sea, some ministers impeached the ministers as the remnants of the eunuch party, and the ministers came to confess to Your Majesty. Since the Jinshi in the Wanli period, the four dynasties, Wei rebellion in Japan, although there is an intersection, but there is no rebellion, this matter last year when His Majesty decided the rebellion, there has been a public opinion. Now that Kechen has brought up this matter again, the minister doesn't know how to answer correctly. Please make it clear to Your Majesty! ”

At this time, Li Guoyi also bowed down and said: "Since the ministers were entrusted by His Majesty to the important task of the first assistant of the cabinet, there have been many courtiers who have pointed out that the ministers are the remnants of the eunuch party. These people have always prided themselves on being a clear stream in the DPRK, but in fact they are nothing more than bombastic nerds. Now that the eunuch rebellion case has been approved, please ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to stop the party strife! ”

After listening to the words of the two, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "The two Aiqing are too worried!" I know your troubles. The decision of the imperial court to open the sea was put forward by me, and it must be unswervingly implemented. I will never give up in a half-push.

"Qing and the others are all ministers of the imperial court, so there is no need to worry about the malicious attacks of this young man.

"As for the eunuch rebellion case, it is even more determined by me, and it is impossible to overturn the case, expand it, and even less retry it."

Speaking of this, he looked at Cao Huachun, the eunuch who was standing beside him, and then said to him: "Cao Huachun, you go to the Six Branch Corridor and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to preach my will respectively, from now on, anyone who identifies others as the remnants of the eunuch party will be guilty of sitting against the remnants of the eunuch party. ”

Cao Huachun bowed down and said, "The old slave obeys the order!" After speaking, he bowed down and exited the warm pavilion, and went to the Six Branch Corridor and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to pass the decree.

After hearing what the emperor said, Li Guoqi and Su Maoxiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then they all got up and left their seats, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty Shengming, the ministers thank Your Majesty for clearing the suspicion of the ministers." ”

After the two of them said this, the emperor told them to calm down, and the two immediately got up and sat down again.

Emperor Chongzhen saw that the two of them sat down again, and then said: "As for Ren Shu in the matter of this official department, how do you think the two Aiqing should deal with it?" ”

Li Guowei and Su Mao glanced at each other, and Li Guowei said: "The minister thinks that as soon as His Majesty's will is issued, he will be punished for the crime of eunuching the remnants of the party, I am afraid that something is wrong." ”

At this time, Su Maoxiang said lightly: "I heard that Your Majesty has a holy decree, and the imperial historian must have real evidence, if there is no evidence, he will be charged with impeaching others." Your Majesty, please be wise! ”

As soon as Su Maoxiang said this, Emperor Chongzhen knew that he probably hated this Ren Shu to the core, and immediately said: "Yes, I have indeed set such a rule for the Six Science Corridors and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. ”

Speaking of this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen, who was also standing on the side, and said: "In this case, Wang Chengen, you sent someone to send an order to Gong Yonggu, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and immediately put this Ren Shu into the Jinyi Guard Prison, and sat back on the charge of eunuch remnants, and asked him whether he was instructed by others and whether there were any comrades. Then report to me for disposal. ”
