Chapter 840: Dismissal of the Officials

readx; The emperor went to court for the first time after nearly a month, and the ministers came in large numbers, almost filling the square outside the Qianqing Palace. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info And quite a lot of people are not good-looking, and they are holding back great resentment at first glance.

Sure enough, after Zhu Youzhen was promoted, the left attendant of the Ministry of Officials, Lang Chengji, took the lead in attacking. This person is the proud disciple of Ye Xianggao, the leader of the Donglin Party, Ye Xianggao was forced to resign, and he was seriously ill and could not come back, so Cheng Jiming became one of the new generation leaders of the Donglin Party. After Zhu Youzhen eliminated the eunuch party, the Donglin party members who were excluded by Wei Zhongxian were reinstated one after another, and Cheng Jiming played a great role as a powerful figure in the ministry.

"Your Majesty has not been in court for nearly a month, and the ministers thought that the dragon body was occasionally slightly ill at the beginning." Cheng Ji's face was solemn and said, "Later, Jianyu entered the Kou in a big way, and under the repeated questioning of the ministers, the palace told the truth, saying that His Majesty had led three thousand light horsemen to Liaodong, and Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the ministry, accompanied him." Your Majesty, and Lord Sun, can you explain to the ministers that the imperial conquest is such a big event, why do you hide it from the ministers, why?! ā€

Seeing his subordinates firing fiercely at him, Sun Chengzong's face was full of embarrassment and bitterness. In fact, he originally went to stop Zhu Youzhen, but he didn't expect the emperor to "kidnap" him. wanted to tell the truth, but felt that it would damage the dignity of the emperor even more, so he had to hang his head and not say a word.

Zhu Youzhen didn't let Sun Chengzong carry the black cauldron, and said with a slight smile: "Don't blame Lord Shangshu, he didn't know. I didn't want to go on a personal expedition, but Yan Mingtai, the former governor of Jiliao, asked for food, and I wanted to give him a surprise attack and personally check the situation of the army's empty salary. It's just that later by mistake, I had to go to Phi Dao and Daling River. Now that I've come back safely, you don't have to blame Lord Shangshu. ā€

"Your Majesty said this, and it is difficult for the ministers to agree!" Li Biao, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, immediately protested and said, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the Ninth Five-Year Prince, who is responsible for the safety of the community, and only dispatches the whole country in a livable manner, and all matters are handed over to the ministers and other supervision." If the ministers do not supervise effectively, Your Majesty will be guilty of crimes, how can they leave the capital without permission, especially if they still risk their lives and be surrounded by Jianjiao? If it weren't for the blessing of the ancestors, another Tumu Fort change would have been made! Sun Chengzong is on the emperor's side and can't stop, the crime is great! Please ask Your Majesty to issue a decree to remove Sun Chengzong from his official position and hand him over to the Criminal Department for discussion! ā€

This Li Biao is also a member of the Donglin Party, with an upright temperament, and has always dared to speak out, and is quite famous in the court. At this time, it is really disrespectful to compare the emperor with the captured Ming Yingzong.

Zhu Youzhen understood Li Biao's personality, but he was not angry because of this. But he never thought that Li Biao would actually want to remove Sun Chengzong's official from this matter, which was really a bit of a fuss, so he smiled and shook his head and said, "Master Li seems to be serious." I went to Daling River to relieve the siege of the border army, although the process was a little more thrilling, and I also lost a lot of people and horses, after all, the main force of the border army was rescued. And from beginning to end, I acted arbitrarily, did not do the business of Lord Shangshu, and the discussion of dismissal was not allowed. ā€

As soon as the words fell, Huang Daozhou, who had just been promoted to the post of Young Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, came out of the class and said loudly: "Your Majesty, do you still think this is a trivial matter? Liaodong lost its teachers and humiliated the country, abandoned thousands of miles of land, and was an unprecedented defeat for our dynasty! The imperial court has been operating in Liaodong for several years, and it has cost no calculation of food and salary, and it is not easy to build the Guanningjin defense line. Not only Sun Chengzong is guilty, but His Majesty is also to blame! The minister is dead, I respectfully ask Your Majesty to surrender the edict to punish yourself, and dismiss Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan, Zu Dashou and other border generals should be punished more clearly and canonically, in order to thank the world! ā€

As soon as Huang Daozhou's words came out, the Manchu Dynasty immediately made an uproar. Yuan Keli was Huang Daozhou's teacher, although he was also very dissatisfied with Zhu Youzhen's unauthorized departure from Beijing, but he didn't know that Huang Daozhou actually dared to ask the emperor to issue an edict against himself, so he was so angry that he immediately loudly accused himself of being a student with a hot personality.

Huang Daozhou didn't give an inch, and he didn't even give the teacher's face, and the master and apprentice were arguing with each other in the court. Except for Shi Fenglai and a few other ministers who were happy to watch the excitement, most of the other officials were actually on the side of Huang Daozhou.

Zhu Youzhen was vigilant, thinking that whether it was Cheng Jiming, Li Biao or Huang Daozhou, they were all members of the Donglin Party. These ministers were excited, on the one hand, they did feel unacceptable because they lost Jinzhou and Ningyuan; On the other hand, it may not be that it did not take advantage of this matter to compete for power with the emperor and exclude dissidents, resulting in the dominance of the Donglin Party.

And Zhu Youzhen also had unspeakable hardships, because he was going to give up Ning Yuan and Jinzhou, but he knew that with the dead brains of these ministers, he would never agree, so he had to secretly leave Beijing. Since he can't say that he has broken this layer, then the battle of Liaodong is a big defeat anyway, and it seems that it is not too much for the ministers to be held responsible.

But if Zhu Youzhen wants to issue an edict to punish himself, and also to treat the crimes of Sun Chengzong and others, this is something that Zhu Youzhen absolutely cannot agree. If he bows his head and gives in this time, then if he wants to leave Beijing again in the future, he will encounter greater resistance, and the emperor's authority will be challenged like never before.

Therefore, Zhu Youzhen had to patiently explain to his ministers: The battle of Liaodong was not because the soldiers did not take their lives, nor was it because the command was wrong, but because the Houjin army was too strong. Now that the border army has retreated to Shanhaiguan, it can be said that there is no way to retreat, and only morale should be boosted. Instead of pursuing responsibility, it is better to be ashamed and courageous, and guard Shanhaiguan well.

Seeing that the emperor did not want to cure anyone's crimes, he was obviously unwilling to admit defeat, and some of the ministers kept their mouths shut in amusement. However, dozens of officials headed by Huang Daozhou, most of whom were speech officials, still refused to give up, and they must be condemned by Zhu Youzhen.

Especially Huang Daozhou, he blushed and said with a thick neck: "Not only did Liaodong lose, but since Your Majesty ascended the throne, there have been many perverse things in his governance, and there have been great changes in the ancestral system. For example, the abolition of internal supervision, the establishment of seven departments, the appointment of female officials, and the transmission of messages by flying pigeons, etc., are all deviant, which is really not the luck of the society. Now that there is the defeat of Liaodong and the frequent reports of disasters in various places, isn't it a warning from the heavens to ask Your Majesty to review your own mistakes? ā€

Zhu Youzhen couldn't make sense with these people, so he couldn't help but be furious. He stared coldly at Huang Dao and said, "According to what you say, the disasters that have occurred in various places are all caused by me?" ā€

"Exactly!" Huang Daozhou said fearlessly, "The emperor is the Son of Heaven and is ordered by Heaven to rule Kyushu." If the emperor goes with the sky, the wind and rain will be smooth, and the world will be ruled greatly; If you go against the sky, it will be a warning from the sky, and at worst, the society will be in decline..."

"Shut up!" Zhu Youzhen was furious and said, "The evil words and slander of the king in the Zodiac Zhou Palace should have been reconsidered; Nian is a scholar who doesn't understand side affairs, so he will be dismissed lightly and immediately dismissed for the people! ā€

This sentence is like stabbing a hornet's nest! Huang Daozhou was not fighting alone, and immediately dozens of officials came out of their shifts, saying in unison that Huang Daozhou was innocent and asked the emperor to retract his fate. Otherwise, they would rather be dismissed with the Zodiac Monday!

Zhu Youzhen laughed very angrily, and only after a long time did he grit his teeth and say, "Are you trying to blackmail me?" Do you think that the court will not be able to leave you? Let me tell you, the earth will turn away from anyone! Since you want to be with Huang Daozhou, I will fulfill you and dismiss all of you! ā€
