Chapter 9: The Early Dynasty

The emperor does not have to go to court every day, and even if he goes to the court, because of the many rules of etiquette, he can't handle a few political affairs, at best, he listens to the government. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhu Youxiao decided that today's court was not what he wanted to tell the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, but that he wanted to start working hard to become the virtuous monarch that the ministers expected, he just wanted to tell these ministers of the Donglin Party that he was still alive.

From the moment the sky was slightly bright, Zhu Youxiao had to get up early and start washing.

This is the day when he came to the first day of the court since he became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the dragon chariot, looked at the vermilion Forbidden City in the distance, and couldn't help but have a feeling of looking at the world.

This may be what it feels like to be an emperor, Kyushu is all over the world, and hundreds of millions of ordinary people seem to be dominated by themselves, but this is not the case.

Zhu Youxiao knew that since orthodoxy, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty has been controlled by this huge civil official system in the Forbidden City, and even the predecessor of his own body has worked hard for seven years before he can barely rely on Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and is no longer controlled by civil officials.

However, the Ming finances and taxes related to the national economy and people's livelihood are still controlled by them, and they still have not changed the status quo.

Zhang Juzheng in the Wanli period worked hard for ten years and failed to succeed, let alone himself.

But Zhu Youxiao just used Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and reused a few obedient bureaucrats.

These Donglin Party ministers have begun to dislike themselves, and they don't want to live for a long time, and the notes at home are only afraid that they have already scolded themselves.

From the eyes of these Donglin Party officials who were still standing in the court, we could see their unkind eyes and disappointed expressions.

Zhu Youxiao appreciates this feeling very much, and appreciates this pleasure that you want to eat me, but you don't eat me.

Since Wanli, the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Donglin Party, have begun to dislike their Emperor Majesty.

This is inevitable, and the deterioration of the relationship between the monarch and the minister is a direct manifestation of the increasingly serious land annexation and the increasingly acute social contradictions, and Zhu Youxiao cannot rely on compromise to alleviate it, unless these selfish interest groups can spit out all the land and distribute it to the growing number of displaced people, and are obliged to pay commercial taxes.

However, from the Chongzhen period in history, Emperor Chongzhen repeatedly asked his ministers to donate silver to save the country, and in case of war, it can be seen that these Jiangnan gentry already possessed some characteristics of the bourgeoisie, such as selfishness and short-sightedness.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at it coldly and found that although the ministers of the Ministry and the cabinet of college students in the court had basically been controlled by the eunuch party, there were still a large number of Donglin Party members in the middle and lower levels of the Qingliu institutions represented by the Hanlin Academy and the Zhan Shifu.

From the time they knew that the emperor was not dead, and also announced that they would go to court early today, they knew that the long-planned conspiracy was bankrupt, just like a mourner, afraid of being punished by Zhu Youxiao and with a sad face, they were still high-spirited, and decided to make a foolish move if they did not succeed.

Donggong Right Yude Zhang Yong is a sx person, but he is a protΓ©gΓ© of Li Sancai, the leader of the Donglin Party, and he has always boasted of being in the world, but he neither hung his head nor showed a righteous and awe-inspiring attitude.

From the moment he entered the court, Zhang Yong, who had been silent, was planning how to deal with the next changes in his heart.

Since he listened to this teacher's suggestion to impeach his mentor Li Sancai, and married Cui Chengxiu, the leading figure of the eunuch party, that is, Cui Chengxiu, the secretary of the ministry, Zhang Yong has always regarded himself as a person who has risen to the Donglin Party and has tried his courage.

He was unwilling to accept the defeat of King Xin, who was supported by himself and Zheng Sanjun and other ministers of the court, and he believed that as long as he had not been dismissed by Zhu Youxiao, he would have the opportunity to make the person sitting on the dragon chair become Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youxiao didn't notice Zhang Yong, and after the ministers shouted long live, he spoke: "Thanks to the protection of the ancestors and the favor of God, since I fell into the water and contracted the disease in April and May, although my condition has worsened to the point of being bedridden, but I have been lucky to come back to life, and now I am in good health, and I can still serve the Ming Dynasty for decades, I don't know how Aiqing feels at this time?" β€œ

Zhu Youxiao's words are a bit of a scoundrel's provocation, Lao Tzu is not dead, your plan has not succeeded, what is the mood now, make a speech.

"Your Majesty's recovery is naturally the blessing of the community", Wei Guangwei, a scholar, stood up first, and other officials had no choice but to echo when they saw this, and one of the Donglin Party officials couldn't help but scold: "Shameless eunuchs, people who tend to be inflammatory." β€œ

"Mr. Wei is happy because I have recovered, this is the words of loyalty, how can I tend to be inflammatory, when the officials of the Hanlin Academy repair the actual record, we must remember the nonsense of this Aiqing, in order to set an example! At the same time, Mr. Wei was crowned and given a bullfighting suit. ”

As soon as Zhu Youxiao said this, the fast-tongued Donglin official had to shut up, he didn't want to be told by Shi Shu that he was an ungentleman and an unrighteous person, but he hated Zhu Youxiao even more in his heart.

University scholar Wei Guangwei is grateful, as the saying goes, as an official, he should be a master in life, and he should be honest in death, even if he is not the first assistant now, he should be content with the emperor's kindness.

However, just when the Donglin Party officials were silent, and Wei Guangwei and other eunuchs actively spoke to unite around the central leadership with His Majesty as the core, Chen Xianqing stood up in the middle of another Donglin Party Officials and Staff Section: "Your Majesty, Weichen wants to impeach Wei Zhongxian, the master of ceremonies, and presents Wei Zhongxian's 20 major crimes, please Your Majesty kill Wei Zhongxian, so as to make the future clear!" ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen also wants to risk his life to impeach Wei Zhongxian!"

At this time, Xu Biqian, the imperial historian of Huguang Dao of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, also stood up, and at the same time, several officials of the Daoist Sect, and even Qingliu of the Hanlin Academy, also stood up to impeach Wei Zhongxian.

Zhu Youxiao originally wanted to retire directly from the court after announcing that he was not dead, and then discuss with several cabinet scholars and celebrants about raising commercial taxes to relieve the people's hardship, but he didn't expect that these Donglin Party officials would take advantage of the swarm of impeachment of Wei Zhongxian this morning, as if it had been agreed in advance.

Zhu Youxiao didn't express his position in advance, but just asked in a cold voice: "Is there anything else you want to impeach the celebrant Bingbi Wei Zhongxian?" β€œ

"Yes!" Several Donglin officials who had not written in advance to impeach Wei Zhongxian stood up again.

Zhu Youxiao smiled, and immediately asked: "Since you want to be impeached, why don't you go through the General Administration Department, and after the cabinet votes, directly report to me in the early court, what kind of system will it become?" ”

"The cabinet is in cahoots with the celebrant and the celebrant supervisor, but I'm afraid that our excerpts will arrive in front of His Majesty's Imperial Palace, please be aware of it!" An official in the audience replied.

"Your Majesty, this ......" Wei Guangwei panicked for a moment when he saw that the Donglin Party was aggressive.

On the contrary, Zhu Youxiao, who already knew the nature of this group of Donglin officials, said clearly and calmly: "Put away all their folds, I will take a good look, let's retreat first." ”
