It's seventy percent!

What kind of concept is this, which means that from top to bottom in the Ming court, whether it is a high-level bigwig or a middle- and low-level official, more than half of the people will be dismissed.

If this is really done, then the imperial court will hurt the fundamentals, there are no officials, who will maintain this huge imperial court, who will be responsible for this large and small yamen, and who will handle these countless complicated government affairs.

Once the imperial court stopped functioning, then what followed was a local collapse, and then there would be riots and bandits everywhere, and finally bury the Ming Dynasty in turmoil.

So in fact, Lao Shoufu didn't understand the prevalence of corruption, but because he knew too well in his heart, he didn't dare to mention it!

But what he didn't expect was that the Son of Heaven had already noticed this problem, and it seemed that he was planning to make a brazen move......

Regarding this behavior of the Son of Heaven, Lao Shoufu sighed impulsively in his heart, and on the other hand, he silently straightened his back, since the Son of Heaven wants to do it, then do it well.

Although he Wang Xijue is old, he has endless blood for the country and the people in his chest, and his personal honor and disgrace have long been put aside by him, and everything he does is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.

From the beginning of the defense of the Zheng family, to the present Shangcheng Guoqing officials, they all uphold this belief!

He doesn't care what the outside world thinks of him, let alone his treatment and status, as long as it is beneficial to Daming, he is willing to do it.

At this point, when Wang Xijue saw this recital, he already knew that it was difficult for him to change the will of the Son of Heaven, since this was the case, then he might as well take action against the corruption in officialdom.

As the first assistant of a dynasty, Wang Xijue's vision is always focused on the entire Ming Dynasty, and it is true that he has always advocated the smooth rectification of the court, and tried to slowly change the atmosphere of officialdom under the premise of maintaining stability.

But the current situation no longer allows him to do this, the Son of Heaven wants to be the enemy of the entire court, so as the first assistant, Wang Xijue knows what choice he should make.

If he is stubborn, he can fight against the Son of Heaven, after all, if the Son of Heaven really wants to make a move, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court situation, and hundreds of officials will criticize him.

But will he do it? No!

Because he is Wang Xijue, just as he was willing to hide his reform methods in his heart when he served the first emperor, he is also willing to make compromises for today's son.

If he is stubborn, it seems that he wants to stabilize the situation, but in fact, the one who benefits in the end is just himself.

Wang Xijue from the Jiajing Dynasty to the present, after four dynasties, he has seen the confrontation between the Son of Heaven and the courtiers twice, the previous time was the great ceremony of the Jiajing Dynasty, at that time he was still an ordinary scholar, but the turmoil above the court even he, an outsider, felt palpitations.

And the next time, is the Wanli Dynasty's national capital dispute, at that time, he was already a cabinet minister, can be regarded as a powerful person, but because of this, he felt more deeply, the dispute together, no matter how difficult it is to bridge, the result of the national dispute, of course, is that the courtiers won, but the emperor has been in the deep palace for 16 years, countless military and political events have been deeply affected, and it is difficult to fully make up for it.

It has also caused the party struggle in the court to become more and more intense, the officialdom atmosphere has irrepressibly declined, and countless serious consequences have emerged.

This is still the result of Wang Xijue, a cabinet assistant, trying his best to mediate between the former emperor and the courtiers, and even at that time, in order to mediate this matter, he did not hesitate to put down his body to plead with the monk and a down-and-out prince.

The great dispute between the monarch and the minister, no matter who wins or loses, the court will be greatly affected, Wang Xijue has been in the four dynasties, and there is only one way to think about it, that is, to extinguish all the signs that may cause strong confrontation between the monarch and the minister from the root.

Now, he is powerless to thwart the will of the Son of Heaven, so in this case, he can only turn the gun and suppress the courtiers with the Son of Heaven, at least in this way, he can also minimize the degree of turmoil in the court......

So Wang Xijue's first reaction when he saw this recital was to send it to the palace, this kind of major event, he definitely needs to make a decision after passing the qi with the Son of Heaven, but since Li Tingji insisted, he had no choice but to hand it out.

"This is inaccurate!"

At the same time, Shen and Zhu both finished reading the full text of the song, glanced at each other, and Zhu Geng said neatly.

Wang Xijue glanced at Li Tingji lightly, with a hint of blame in his eyes.

Because of the attitude of Shen and Zhu, Lao Shoufu had already thought that these two people were different from him, he could make compromises for the sake of the court, in addition to Lao Shoufu's own temperament, but also because he himself was not a party, and most of the people who supported him in the DPRK were in their hearts, so Lao Shoufu acted more freely.

But Shen Zhu is different, he is behind a huge Zhejiang Party, the backbone of the Zhejiang Party is the middle-level officials of the third to fifth grades, these people are the most rampant corruption in the area, unceremoniously said, if it is really to be severely punished, the Zhejiang Party will immediately be greatly damaged, at least half of the people will be difficult to survive in this turmoil.

So the two of them had to stand up, and whatever their own intentions were, and in this position, they had to oppose it.

"Oh? I don't know why Lord Zhu said this? If the old man remembers it well, there are many chapters in the cabinet recently, and they are all inappropriate to Chen Li and Chen Yuanfu's negligence, thinking that the current responsibilities of the yamen should be retained, and the world should be planned to purge the rule of officials, and Lord Zhu also agrees with these chapters! Ye Shilang's performance, is there any difference? ”

Li Tingji was not in a hurry, took two steps forward, and said lightly.

It's just that this tone fell on Zhu Geng's ears, and no matter how he heard it, there was a strong sense of mockery.

Because what Li Tingji said is basically the truth, although he didn't play it in person, who can he hide from the things above the court?

The attitude of the Zhejiang Party in this rectification of officials has already been clear-cut, leaving a big plan and going to others, Zhu Ge Lao has also expressed his approval of this kind of recital more than once, and Ye Xianggao's recital is also a firm support for the world's officials, but the difference is that he proposed to take official corruption as the standard, and strictly enforce it, which makes Zhu Ge Lao really unacceptable.

Although the reason for this can be seen by everyone, his attitude is indeed suspected of being inconsistent with what is on the outside, and it is not unreasonable for him to be ridiculed by Li Tingji......
