Chapter 183: Vacillation at the Imperial Meeting
(Thanks to the ten years of precious monthly passes, thanks to Yufei 001 for the reward, thank you.) )
The capital, the Forbidden City, the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.
In front of Zhu Youzhen, there are two secret letters, and the news in the two secret folds will cause an uproar in the imperial court.
There have been a lot of things recently, Zhu Youzhen's mood has become a little depressed again, the rogues are harassing everywhere in Shaanxi and Shanxi, the scale is quite large, the role of the imperial court encirclement and suppression is not large, the problem of Shandong has not been completely solved, although Laizhou has been relieved, but Dengzhou is still in the hands of the rebel general Kong Youde, and the imperial court must send troops to exterminate it.
The use of the army means the use of silver, fortunately, there are silver taels transported from Jiangning County, and there is no need to worry about silver for the time being, but during the war, the silver is like flowing water.
There are many things in the court, the party struggle is intensifying, and the fighting is all for power, so that he has some opinions about Zhou Yanru, the first assistant to the cabinet, and faintly has some opinions, including the household department Shangshu Bi Ziyan, and he always can't think of a good way.
The most dissatisfied with him is that Su Tiancheng has achieved disaster relief in Henan, obviously has achieved very good results, this time Shaanxi Liukou invaded Shanxi, according to the past practice, Henan will also make some trouble, but the situation in Henan is very stable, Zhou Yanru recommended ministers, also to Shaanxi, Shanxi and other regions for disaster relief, now it seems that the effect is very bad, I don't know how many ministers from the middle, how much silver they coveted.
Zhou Yanru received the impeachment of Henan officials, and actually discussed in the cabinet to deal with Su Tiancheng, if he hadn't insisted on his opinion, maybe Su Tiancheng would have been cut down and went home.
As soon as Xu Er played, Zhu Youzhen was moved for a while, and the people knelt on the ground to see each other off. This shows that Su Tiancheng is doing a good job in Henan, but the funny thing is that Zhou Yanru actually thinks that this is a gesture made by Su Tiancheng.
Now, Nan Zhili's secret fold has come. directly involved Zhou Yanru.
Zhu Youzhen wanted to wait and see, at the court meeting, whether the cabinet would put it forward for discussion, if not, it would be directly suppressed, and his impression of Zhou Yanru would be even more dissatisfied.
Wang Chengen was still standing beside him, and Zhu Youzhen raised his head and spoke.
"Father-in-law, inside the court. Have you been talking about anything lately? ”
"Your Majesty, the slave maid heard that there are many ministers, all of whom are discussing the matter of renting official land in Jiangning County, thinking that this is not in line with the etiquette system, and it will never work, and some people say that Su Tiancheng has just arrived in Jiangning County. I didn't get acquainted with local affairs, but I wanted to lease official land. Are you trying to make any profit from the middle? ”
Zhu Youzhen's face became very ugly.
"Isn't there any movement in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Mission?"
"The slave maid thinks that since the minister is discussing, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Governor may also have to impeach."
"Did you hear anything else?"
"Your Majesty, the slaves and maids know this, and the rest have not heard of it."
Zhu Youzhen's face. It was full of clouds, and he knew very well that the two things of renting official land in Jiangning County and condemning Zhou Shunqing were all played to the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. But now there is only the matter of renting official land in Jiangning County, what does this mean, and the discussion in the court must impeach Su Tiancheng, and even bring it up to remove Su Tiancheng from his official position.
"These ministers of mine are really very loyal."
Wang Chengen, who was standing on the side, did not speak, but in his heart, he was still happy, the emperor had such an idea, and he would inevitably trust the eunuch more, and the future would be better.
The next day, the morning dynasty.
The Ministry of Industry gave Fu Youliang the first to play in the matter, and the content of his performance was actually the impeachment of Su Tiancheng, the magistrate of Jiangning County.
Zhu Youzhen never expected that Fu Youliang was Su Tiancheng's mentor, the deputy chief examiner of the Shanxi Township Examination, and it was said that he would never impeach his students.
But Fu Youliang's hand can indeed cause a great repercussion, as a teacher, it is indeed rare to come forward to impeach his own students, which also shows that Su Tiancheng has indeed done something wrong.
However, Fu Youliang's impeachment still leaves room for it, thinking that Su Tiancheng has done some things in Jiangning County, but he should not destroy the ancestral system, and he should not think of leasing the official land of Nanjing Jingying, which is the foundation of the military camp, and it must not be shaken, even if Jiangning County pays compensation, it will not work, Fu Youliang's impeachment chapter also mentioned Yin Wang Daozhi of Ying Tianfu Mansion, thinking that Wang Daozhi lacks supervision in this matter.
Fu Youliang believes that Su Tiancheng should be dismissed as the magistrate of Jiangning County and return to Beijing for introspection.
Zhu Youzhen's face was very ugly.
"The minister disagrees with Master Fu's impeachment recital."
The first to attack was Xu Eryi.
"Jiangning County Governor Su Tiancheng, made achievements are obvious to all, is to rent the official field of Nanjing Jingying, but also paid a reward, the minister carefully read the Jiangning County fold, the above is very clear, renting the official field, can make Nanjing Jingying reduce the burden, concentrate on the training of sergeants, and Nanjing Military Department Shangshu, Zhizhejiang Governor Zhou Daren, garrison commander General Zhang, and the town guard Qin Gonggong, specifically for this purpose, think that this move is feasible, there are also excerpts played, Fu Daren's objections, the minister listened carefully, that is, one, Contrary to the ancestral system, the minister thought that there had never been an immutable system, and if it was a system that was conducive to the imperial court, it could be tested and implemented. ”
As soon as Xu Eryi finished speaking, the head of the household department opened his mouth strictly.
"The minister thinks that Lord Xu's words are inappropriate, how can the ancestors' legislation be easily destroyed, if Fuzhou and counties do the same, what rules are there to speak of, although the minister does not fully agree with Lord Fu's impeachment, but also thinks that Jiangning County rents Nanjing Jingying Guantian, which is not very suitable."
At this moment, the ministers in the court couldn't help but whisper.
Fu Youliang is Su Tiancheng's mentor, and he took the lead in impeaching his students, and another mentor, Xu Er, came out to defend himself, who knew that Lu Dao opposed Xu Er's opinion, it turned out to be Bi Ziyan, to know Lu Dao, Xu Er came back, but Bi Ziyan recommended it, what the hell is this, for a county, there is such a situation.
The next opinions are somewhat clear, most of them are against renting official land in Jiangning County, and there are not many opinions in favor.
Cabinet ministers did not say anything.
Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhou Yanru, who was standing at the front.
"Zhou Aiqing, what is your opinion?"
"The minister thinks that the impeachment of Master Fu still has some truth, the ancestral legislation must not be easily changed, not to mention that the official field is the foundation for maintaining the operation of the guard, if all places do so, in the end they will not be able to provide the lease fee on time, which will endanger the morale of my Ming Dynasty and shake the national capital of the Ming Dynasty, so the minister thinks that this matter must not be, as for the disposal of Su Tiancheng, the magistrate of Jiangning County, the minister has no other opinion, Su Tiancheng can still go to the Hanlin Academy."
Wen Tiren had no expression on his face, as if he was an old monk.
Zhou Yanru is worthy of being the first assistant, hit the nail on the head, and hit the nail on the head, this crime is a big crime, renting official land has shaken the foundation of the country, what kind of intention is Su Tiancheng, such a crime is to cut off the head, and there is nothing remarkable, but the people have self-cultivation, let Su Tiancheng return to the capital and enter the Guozijian.
Zhu Youzhen's heart was cold, and the development of things was still as he expected.
"The minister has a different opinion."
An old voice came, and the court suddenly fell silent.
It was Xu Guangqi who spoke.
Xu Guangqi is the crown prince Taibao, a scholar of the Taiyuan Pavilion, and an auxiliary minister of the cabinet.
Xu Guangqi is seventy years old, his qualifications are extraordinary, and he rarely speaks at the court meeting, and his health has not been very good, but when he speaks, most of them have formed a conclusion, even Zhou Yanru, which is not easy to refute.
"Xu Aiqing, what do you think, say slowly, don't worry."
Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but speak, Xu Guangqi proposed it many times, but he just didn't agree.
"The minister thinks that Su Tiancheng, the magistrate of Jiangning County, is feasible for three reasons: First, Jiangning County handed over 25 million taels of silver to the imperial court, and the situation has been stable so far, which has proved the ability of Su Tiancheng, the magistrate of Jiangning County, and shows that Su Tiancheng has a number in his heart to do things, and he proposed to lease the official land in Nanjing Jingying, which was carefully considered, and was by no means impulsive."
"Second, Jiangning County also said above, leasing the official land of Nanjing Jingying, this is just a pilot, and it is not mentioned, it is promoted in my Ming Dynasty, not to mention the matter of leasing official land, it still needs to be discussed by the court, those who think that leasing official land, is to shake the foundation of the country, it is not feasible, but also ridiculous, if there is such a concern, does not say that my Ming Prefecture and County, have to go their own way, the imperial decree, has been invalid."
"Third, Nan Zhili and Ying Tianfu both agreed with this suggestion, which shows that they have been seriously discussed, and our ministers in the imperial court cannot fully know the situation of Nan Zhili, let alone fully understand the situation of Nanjing Jingying, since the emperor has sent many ministers, responsible for the affairs of Nanzhili, responsible for the affairs of Nanjing Jingying, they should fully believe them, if anything needs to be discussed at the court meeting, try to ask the officials below, what else do they need to do, waiting for the imperial decree of the imperial court every day, Or is it the emperor's holy decree, isn't it okay? ”
Above the court, there was silence.
Soon, Wen Tiren made a statement.
"The minister thinks that what Lord Xu said is extremely true, the matter of leasing official land in Jiangning County is feasible, and Su Tiancheng, the magistrate of Jiangning County, has been in office for less than half a year, and the achievements he has made are obvious to all."
Zhu Youzhen looked at the many ministers and quickly spoke.
"I think that what Xu Aiqing said is reasonable, of course we must follow the ancestral system in doing things, but if we stick to the ancestral system, what do you want the ministers to do, what do you want me to do, Jiangning County's leasing of official land, I don't want to discuss it anymore, the household department will draw up an edict, and it will be approved."
