Chapter 1094 - Officials of the Branch
readx; As soon as Zhu Youzhen wanted to appoint Lu Xiangsheng as the governor of the three sides, Wang Du came to stir up the situation with the engineering department, and he couldn't help but feel a fire in his heart. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Originally, many prefectures and counties, including Zhuolu Town, were decided by Zhu Youzhen to give up, and ordered Lu Xiangsheng to supervise the evacuation of the local people. However, Guo Zhicong was blinded, reluctant to give up his land and wealth, but refused to withdraw, and Lu Xiangsheng was hindered by his identity that was not easy to move, and finally listened to Li Dingguo's idea, falsely claiming that the Qing army was attacking the city, and only then coaxed Guo Zhicong out. Fortunately, the withdrawal was timely, otherwise the main force with red flags would surround it, not only Zhuolu Town would eventually be destroyed, but Zhu Youzhen's overall plan would also be destroyed.
Lu Xiangsheng and Li Dingguo both reported this matter to Zhu Youzhen with flying pigeon passes, and Zhu Youzhen also felt that it was a little inappropriate to do so. However, he thinks that the defect is that Lu Xiangsheng doesn't need to hide it so much at all, regardless of whether he is a former court elder or a noble relative, Lu Xiangsheng, as the governor of Xuanfu, is acting on orders, so why give them face. These people rely on their prominent status to lead them and fight backwards, so they should be treated well.
Therefore, Zhu Youzhen did not have the patience to listen to Wang Du's letter from Guo Zhicong, and immediately interrupted him: "Lu Xiangsheng urged the people of Zhuolu to move to Xuanfu, which is acting on orders, what is wrong?" ”
Wang Du stiffened his neck and said eloquently: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks otherwise." If the Tartar army presses the border, the enemy is strong and I am weak, and the city cannot be defended, it is reasonable for Lu Xiangsheng to retreat by order. But at that time, it was clear that the Tartars were only harassed by a partial division, and Lu Xiangsheng's troops could completely compete with the enemy, and he could even mobilize the Xuanfu men and horses to annihilate the enemy army, but he only knew how to blindly avoid the war, and used His Majesty's holy oracle as a shield for his escape, which was really hateful! Thinking that Guo Zhicong is the minister of Zhishi, and he is old and old, and he is still unwilling to abandon the land of his ancestors, Lu Xiang was promoted to the governor of Xuanfu, and he has military power, but he does not dare to fight with the Tartars, how can such a person be promoted? But Your Majesty sees it! ”
This is pure rhetoric. Wang Du didn't care about Lu Xiangsheng's brilliant achievements behind him, and only grasped the point of withdrawing Zhuolu and refuted it over and over again, and he just took it for granted. However, what made Zhu Youzhen even more angry was that when he said this, many courtiers echoed him. Wang Du was even more proud when he saw this, looking left and right, if there was no one around, the momentum was really with the "public knowledge" and "big V" in the previous life.
But before Zhu Youzhen could refute Wang Du, Gao Zhiming, who had just participated in the impeachment of Yuan Keli, came out again and said: "The minister also thinks that Lu Xiang is extremely promoted." In addition, His Majesty once said in his daily speech, 'The land of the ancestors, not an inch of land', but this time the Tartars invaded the territory, and the officials and soldiers were invincible in the places they passed, and dozens of prefectures and counties fell as a result. Is it that the Tartars cannot fight? Then why did the Tartars attack Beijing for several days? This is still the reason why the commanders and generals are afraid of the enemy! If Your Majesty does not punish him severely, or even make an example of him, how can he make the officials and soldiers afraid of the imperial decrees, and how can he appease the people of the world? ”
As soon as he said this, many imperial historians echoed it. At this point, Zhu Youzhen finally understood the intentions of these people, they were participating in Lu Xiangsheng, in fact, they were participating in Yuan Keli; And Yuan Keli is actually participating in himself! To put it bluntly, they want to deny their overall deployment from the root!
At this time, Zhu Youzhen couldn't sit still, he knew that in history, there was such a group of officials at the end of the Ming Dynasty, who would talk all day long, and whoever was in the limelight would participate in whom, after participating in Lu Xiangsheng's participation in Sun Chuanting, after participating in Sun Chuanting's participation in Yang Sichang, and so on, these people were all involved and died, and the Ming Dynasty was not far from the death of the country.
Now it is Zhu Youzhen himself who is really in charge, so these people are targeting Zhu Youzhen again. Although they did not dare to criticize the emperor openly, the meaning of their words was always that all the emperor's decisions were wrong. But when asked what they think of the current situation, they can't say a word. In other words, they are purely opposing for the sake of opposition, they have no position at all, they have no political opinions, and they only have the ambition to fight for power.
Zhu Youzhen not only wanted to find an opportunity to suppress the individuals in these officials who had not achieved enough things and had more than enough failures, but also wanted to weaken their right to speak as a whole. However, the political system of the Ming Dynasty was quite special, and the speech officials occupied a very important position in the imperial court.
Since the beginning of the Hongwu period, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang changed the "Imperial Historical Observatory" of the Yuan Dynasty to the "Metropolitan Procuratorate" in order to increase the supervision of hundreds of officials, and the level was tied with the six departments. However, since the Metropolitan Procuratorate can supervise the officials of the six ministries, it is actually above the six ministries. Its official system has one person on the left and right sides of the imperial history, and two products; There is one person on the left and right sides of the imperial history, and there are three products; There is one person on the left and right sides of the imperial history, and there are four products. Under it, there are 110 people in the 13 imperial history, and there are seven products, and the officials across the country are supervised by sub-regions, so it is also called "patrolling the imperial history".
In addition to the imperial history, there are also officials with similar functions in the six departments, that is, the six departments to the ministry. In the matter, he was in charge of the attendants, admonished, supplemented, picked up, reviewed, and refuted the edicts, refuted the edicts of the hundred divisions, supervised the six departments, and impeached the hundred officials, which complemented each other with the imperial history. The six departments correspond to the six parts, all of which are given to the seven products in the matter, and the seven products are given to the matter.
The six branches are given to the matter and the thirteen imperial histories, which are collectively called "science and technology". Don't look at these people's official character, but they have great power, and they can meddle in any government and government, even the cabinet does not pay attention to it. And they have a "fine tradition", that is, like the hyenas in the African savannah, they act in groups. As long as one person takes the lead in impeachment, the others immediately rise up and attack him, and they will not give up until they are the ones who want to be involved. In this way, the officials controlled public opinion in the court, and then influenced all the decisions of the court.
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang gave so much power to the officials of Kedao in order to allow them to check and balance the ministers and prevent the ministers from competing for power with the emperor. As a result, the officials of the science and technology have a higher status than those who actually do things. Since the Hongwu Dynasty, the vast majority of the important ministers in the court are from the Taoist officials, if they have not been the imperial history and give things, they will not want to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister. Over time, the officials of Kedao gradually formed a small group, and now the collective participation in the impeachment of Lu Xiangsheng is a clear proof of this.
In the past, Zhu Youzhen's recitals for the speech officials were often left in the middle and ignored if they were not pleasing to the eye. But today is different, Wang Du, Gao Zhiming and others are making trouble in the court and openly challenging their strategic decisions. If their arrogance is not defeated, where is the authority of the emperor? How will a series of major reforms be carried out in the future?
Just when Zhu Youzhen was about to endure it anymore, another official impeached Sun Chengzong for abandoning Tongzhou, causing 500,000 stone grain in Tongzhou to fall into the hands of the enemy, and the city was burned by the Tartars.
At this point, Zhu Youzhen finally became furious, and shouted violently: "What you say is all from my will, do you want to openly resist the decree?" ”
