Chapter 902: Jingcha (II)

There is a kind of power called being based on facts and taking the law as the criterion, especially when this power is in the hands of Hai Jui, all scheming ghosts can only retreat.

Wang Chonggu paid attention to the outside of the plate, but ignored the inside, in the face of Hai Rui's reasonable and well-founded opinions, he had no way to refute, and finally came up with a list of 207 people to be deposed and transferred, 30 of the officials below the fifth grade, 10 of the greedy and sick, 10 of the greedy, 6 of the soft, 90 of the imprudent, 39 impetuous, and 32 of the talented, of which two were impetuous in the science and road, two were not as talented, three were impetuous as the imperial history, three were not as talented, and one was not as good as the Shen Party and the Jin Party, there are also those who are not from both parties.

Although the number of Shen Dang on the list is more than twice that of the Jin Party, Wang Chonggu is not satisfied at all, because only four of the six science corridors he values the most have been taken down, of which only two have Shen Dang background, and one is his mén. Huā built the Great Wall, and only then did he surround a pigsty, how could he not be depressed?

What made him even more depressed was Nancha. The southern inspection was presided over by Lu Guangzu, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials, and Sun Guan, the imperial historian of Nanjing, and only 10 officials below the fifth grade, two were found to be old and sick, two were greedy, 34 were careless, three were soft, 10 were impetuous, and 14 were incompetent, and only one-third of the northern inspection. Shen Dang's operation in the southeast made him sigh with admiration.

However, when the results of the Jingcha of officials above the fourth grade came out, Wang Chonggu burst into tears and laughed, what does it mean to punch the master to death? Shen Dang, who has a degree of offense and defense and dense moves, has really met a nemesis.

According to the rule, high-ranking officials above the fourth rank are negligent and resigned, and the emperor decides to stay, but it is generally a formality. It's not that the emperor doesn't want to be powerful, but the cabinet will fight for the ministers, and without them issuing votes, the emperor can't approve the red. But this time, Emperor Wanli Wanli gave an inspection, but they couldn't refute it.

Because there are only three names on it, they are Lu Shusheng, Wei Xuezeng and Tang Ruji...... Lu Shusheng got an "old disease", Wei Xuezeng got an "impetuous", and Tang Ruji got a "not careful,."

Fighting for others and fighting for oneself is weak and short-breathed, especially people of virtue like Lu Shusheng and Wei Xuezeng, who became a gourd with a mouth, and went home on the same day. Everyone is gone, and it would be too dazzling for Tang Ruji to stay, so he had to pack up and go back depressedly.

Obviously, Wanli is taking revenge on Zhang Siwei's incident, but using this simple and crude way is too unacceptable. For the civil bureaucracy, what they resist the most is that the emperor bypasses the bureaucracy and directly decides whether the ministers will stay or not, which will make their rules of the game child's play, and everyone will fight over each other, and it will become a joke.

There are two remaining scholars, Zhu Dashou and Lu Tiaoyang also wrote to resign, thinking that the emperor is dissatisfied with the current cabinet, so everyone should get out of here. The six ministries and nine kings also wrote one after another, asking the emperor to retract the order, but Wanli stayed in the middle, only when they were a hundred dogs barking.

Although the six branches were unsurprisingly sealed and returned to Chashu, how could the three pavilion elders be such big cadres as they were like no one else? So he handed over the resignation letter one after another, and at this time, the Wanli Emperor showed his slut himself, obviously he made others lose face, but now he pretended not to accept it.

According to Tang Ruji's temper, if you don't accept it, forget it, I will come back to work, and it is estimated that I can directly make Wanli angry to death. However, Lu Shusheng and Wei Xuezeng were too face-saving, and they vowed not to give up until they achieved their goal, and he had no choice, so he went on six or seven pieces of music one after another. In the end, Wanli was "reluctant to accept it, and said in the holy decree, I just want to remind a few people, I didn't expect you to be so fragile...............

The three cabinet elders are gone, plus Zhang Siwei, who is in a semi-retired state, and there are only two left in the cabinet, Zhu Dashou and Lu Tiaoyang. It is said that Wanli has many doubts about the authoritarian power of the cabinet, and he is not willing to hold it hostage for the cabinet ministers, and he is not in a hurry to by-election, but Zhu Dashou is a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and Shen Mo is both a fellow villager and the same year, but he has always been low-key and neutral, and has the style of an ancient minister, so the emperor does not think he is a threat, but it is impossible to pay for state affairs at ease. As for Lu Tiaoyang, he is honest and honest, he never conflicts with the leader, and he is the emperor's favorite candidate for the first assistant, but his old age and decrepit body are not strong, and he is really embarrassed by the heavy responsibility. Therefore, not long after the end of Jingcha, Wanli issued an edict to supplement the ministers.

The focus of the contest between the Jin Party and the Shen Party immediately shifted to seeking their own candidates to join the cabinet. Wang Chonggu repeated his old tricks, and the commander took the Nanjing official as a lesson and suggested that the system of Jiuqing would be abolished. "Jiuqing will push, that is, Tingtui, just like Jingcha is divided into north and south, Tingtui is also divided into south and north, and the procedures for south and north are completely the same, the only difference is that Nanjing does not have a cabinet, and the candidates for the launch need to be approved by Beijing. At that time, the six people promoted by the Nanjing Ministry of Officials were all officials who worked in Jiangnan, so there was a joke that "the Ministry of Officials is not in the river."

The Jin Party is now talking about the lawlessness of the officials in the south and asking the emperor to take back the personnel power, and its real purpose is to hope that the officials will recommend candidates for the cabinet and create conditions for the Jin Party members to join the cabinet. In order to ensure success, Wang Chonggu personally went into battle, and suggested that the power of Chen Jiuqing would be pushed back to the ministry.

However, the Jin Party failed to rely on this Jingcha, and the evil consequences of successfully purging Kedao appeared, and the officials rose up to attack it, impeaching Wang Chonggu for "repeatedly secretly exposing the unauthorized power of Jiāo Tong Luàn government", "using the lord's authority to be angry", "vicious and presumptuous, no courtesy", and took out Wang Chonggu's letters with the old departments of the three sides as evidence, and asked the emperor to "levy the public to Hengyangde, screen the evil and the evil to outline the atmosphere, and suppress the military and government to prevent accidents,!"

For the overwhelming impeachment, Wang Chonggu didn't care about it at first, because the Wanli Emperor was already immune to the alarmist impeachment. But when the letter he wrote to the old ministry of the three sides was poked out, Wang Chonggu knew that it was going to be over. In fact, it is normal to exchange letters with former subordinates, and generally no one will say anything, but once your letters fall into the hands of the enemy, you can be completely accused of "courtiers knotting jiāo border generals".

Wang Chonggu hurriedly wrote a book to defend himself, saying that it was just some personal contacts, and there was absolutely no ill intention. Emperor Wanli is not stupid, of course he knows that the officials concocted this crime at this time in order to combat Wang Chonggu's arrogance. But for the sake of his own country, he must punish Wang Chonggu to put an end to the jiāo communication between the minister and the border general.

At first, Wanli only planned to punish Dai and did not accept Wang Chonggu's resignation, but the official refused to give up, and continued to impeach Wang Chonggu for bullying the monarch and misleading the country. In the face of the step-by-step progress of the officials, Wang Chonggu finally closed himself up, and then moved to the Zhenwu Temple of the Performing Elephant Institute, and dismissed all the servants, indicating his determination to leave his post. Wang Chonggu no longer performed his duties, and the Chu Department was replaced by Shen Shixing, and there was no point in canceling the Jiuqing Hui.

In March, the Wanli Emperor issued an edict to order the Ministry of Officials to still meet with Jiuqing Kedao to push the cabinet ministers, and two days later, the cabinet ministers and Jiuqing voted in the East Pavilion to get Sun Ling, Yu Youding, Shen Shixing, Xu Guo, Wang Xijue, Shen Yuan, Chen Enyu, Wang Xilie, Wang Keng, Wang Jiaping's list of ten people, and then summoned the six departments to the matter and the imperial history into the internal transmission of the list of the list.

Among the ten people who will push, Wang Keng and Shen Yuan are old qualifications, hoping to make one last fight and complete their lifelong wish. Sun Ling, Wang Xilie, and Chen Enyu are Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, and Yu Youding in the Mesozoic Dynasty are the top three in Jiajing's 44th year, and Xu Guo is also on this list. Wang Jiaping is the youngest, and he is a second-year jinshi in Longqing. It can be described as a combination of three generations of old, middle and young, and it seems that the variety is complete, and you can choose from it.

However, if we return to the origin of these officials, we will find a terrifying fact: Sun Ling, a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang: Wang Keng, a native of Ning, Zhejiang: Yu Youding, a native of Ning, Zhejiang: Shen Shixing, a native of Nanzhi Suzhou: Wang Xijue, a native of Nanzhi Suzhou: Chen Enyu, a native of Fuzhou, Fujian. Wang Xilie, a native of Jiangxi and a native of Nanchang...... Only Shen Yuan in Shandong and Wang Jiaping in Shanxi do not have a southeastern background.

Eight to two, this is also the strength comparison between the Southeast Gang in a broad sense and the Jin Party.

After the list that will be pushed came out, the Jin Party quit. Because the list was voted on by Tingtui, they could not question it, so they put their hope on the last hurdle to be chosen by the emperor out of ten. They pointed out that Shen Shixing, Wang Xijue, Yu Youding, and Xu Guo were fellow Jinshi, and Sun Ling, Wang Keng, and Yu Youding were fellow villagers.

If the world allows these people to enter the cabinet at the same time, plus the big ribbons who were already in the cabinet, they will definitely form a terrible party! Someone even straightforwardly gave the eight people on the list the title of "Shen Dang."

This attack hit the sore spot of Emperor Wanli, and finally circled the list of five cabinet members of Chen Enyu, Wang Xilie, Shen Yuan, Wang Jiaping, and Shen Shixing.

In April, Zhang Siwei and Wang Chonggu were approved one after another after a total of 60 resignations, and the two went into disgrace, drawing an end to this half-year-long party dispute.

One by one, one by What I was comforting to talk about was that he still kept the position of Kedao, and then got the official book under Wang Chonggu... Lu Guangzu, the secretary of Nanjing's official department, transferred the bell to the north, at least for a short time, to put an end to the possibility of another party dispute. It should be considered a break-even situation.

For the Jin Party, which provoked this big war, it was an unbearable pain. They originally intended to use the support of Emperor Wanli to surpass the southeast gang when the dragons were leaderless. Who knew that the Southeast Gang had already prepared and was ready for battle, and when the emperor completely pulled the shelf, they showed a very high level of struggle, and finally ended the struggle with a tragic exchange. It can be said that this situation is the last thing the Jin Party wants to see, because their strength in the court is far less strong than that in the southeast, which has a sufficient talent pool and can afford to fight a war of attrition. After Yang Bo and Ge Shouli went, they counted on Wang Chonggu and Zhang Siwei to pick the sorghum, and the new generation of Wang Jiaping, Yang Junmin and others were still naïve. Both of them are folded in this scene, and the blow to the Jin Party is fatal, at least for a long time, the Jin Party will not want to come out again.

It seems that the only one who benefits is the Wanli Emperor, who stayed out of the matter, sat in the deep palace and watched the ministers fight to the death, and successfully boycotted the powerful cabinet that made him breathless...... Because Wang Xilie and Chen Enyu can only be regarded as marginal figures of the Shen Party, and Zhu Dashou and Shen Shixing are not strong people, the southeast has lost absolute control over the cabinet. Although Zhang Siwei is gone, there are still royalists like Wang Jiaping and Lu Tiaoyang, and Emperor Wanli no longer has to worry about what he says, and he will be regarded as a deaf ear by the cabinet.

But Wanli will not be satisfied with this, he has been completely disappointed in the minister, knowing that even a hardcore royalist like Zhang Siwei has his own plans, once he is allowed to grasp the power, he will also limit the imperial power. You still have to use your own talent to rest assured,

On the day that several scholars took office, his central decree went to the cabinet and ordered the selection of 3,700 ministers, which caused an uproar in the government and the public.

Because of the silence and a little worry, Wanli ordered the Ministry of Rites to recruit 3,500 ministers in conjunction with the Ministry of Rites.

Who knew that just half a year later, the number of internal supervisors would be increased. In the middle of the matter, Li Tianzhi returned the decree, and asked to withdraw the order and disperse the party. Wanli was unmoved, and reported it.

Because it has always been the matter of the inner court that can chā hand over the outer court, but the outer court cannot control the inner court. The expansion of the ranks of eunuchs, the power of the inner court can be expanded, of course they are willing, and they are not afraid that the Ministry of Rites will not help recruit people, the world is waiting to be a sea of eunuchs, don't believe it, when the eunuchs and eunuchs are mentioned in later generations, it seems to be scolding, but in the era of eunuchs, these eunuchs can eat financial meals, even if they are not civil servants, they are also considered career editors. can hún enter the eunuch team, at least he will have no worries about food and clothing in this life, and if hún is good, hún will become a steward brand, not only will he eat and drink spicy food, but even the whole family will follow the scenery. If God helps, and accidentally hún enters the power organs such as the master of ceremonies, the imperial horse supervisor, and the East Factory, then congratulations, it's not just as simple as getting ahead, and being able to compete with those officials and masters who were born in Jinshi!

Therefore, a large number of scoundrels, unemployed peasants, and idle people all regard entering the palace as a way out, so that the imperial court had to repeatedly order and strictly prohibit the people from castrating on their own, and the Wanli Emperor killed Li Quan, the former celebrant and supervisor, and demoted his fellow party Zhang Dashou, Zhou Hai, He Zhong and other eight people to the lowest level of small fire, Si Xiang Xiaoling, and helped the guest and Sun Hai who grew up with him to important positions, thus clearing the power of the inner court to restrain himself, and getting rid of the embarrassment of being restrained and supervised in words and deeds in the past. The inner court is bent on doing things according to the will, and everything is agreeable, and Wanli completely biases the weight of imperial power to the inner court ......!.
