Chapter 396: Purging the Dynasty (II)
Chapter 396 Rectification of the Dynasty (II)
In the main hall, Lai Youguang stated his crime, which was called a handful of snot and a handful of tears.
The civil and military ministers next to them were all shocked by Lai Youguang's wonderful performance, because they couldn't feel that Lai Youguang was stating his mistakes, but instead gave them the impression that Lai Youguang was full of grievances.
Deng Haonan, who was high up, with his chin in his hand, seemed to listen to Lai Youguang crying and complaining about grievances, but in fact he was sleepwalking.
This is Lai Youguang's guilt one by one, but the guilt in his mouth only set a precedent of being disturbed by the people when he was a Beijing official, and he lost the national body. However, Lai Youguang pointed out that Sang scolded Huai, implying that many officials in the DPRK and China were the troublemakers behind this incident.
The open and secret battles between the officials, Deng Haonan is no longer surprised. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there is officialdom, there is dumping, this seems to be an eternal truth, Deng Haonan can't stop it, he can only go with the flow.
Lai Youguang cried and complained for half an hour, and it was not until the waiter reminded Deng Haonan three times that Deng Haonan came back from sleepwalking.
"That's it"
Deng Haonan yawned and sat up.
Lai Youguang's mouth was dry, but unfortunately there was no share of his tea in the Jinluan Palace, so he had to stop the majority and nod his head directly.
"Lai Youguang, as a member of the imperial court, is indeed a loss of national body when he encounters such a thing. But—"
Deng Haonan changed his words and said with a straight face: "However, as Lai Youguang himself analyzed, there are many behind-the-scenes instigators in the troublemaking incident."
As soon as the words came out, the hall was suddenly silent, and after a while, the ministers began to talk to each other.
Deng Haonan continued: "I am too lazy to care about the open and secret struggles between the parties, as long as the national interests are the most important, I will turn a blind eye. However, if it is only for personal preference, to disrupt the election of the imperial ministers, to disrupt the normal selection of officials in the Empire, and to affect the smooth implementation of the Imperial policy, I will not tolerate it."
Deng Haonan's last sentence was loud, and the ministers all gasped, since the founding of the country, the emperor has never been so angry.
Qian Qianyi smelled the smell of gunpowder, hurriedly stepped out, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, since the founding of the country, it is the first time that this situation has occurred, and the ministers should make every effort to investigate this matter thoroughly."
Deng Haonan nodded, picked up a notebook, and said with a smile: "Did you see it, this booklet in my hand." There is a large list on it, and it is said that many people on it were willingly sent to Shuntianfu by an Oiran, isn't it Shuntianfu? ”
"The Guilty of the Minister"
Chen Kun, the prefect of Shuntian, hurriedly came out of the queue and knelt on the ground in fear.
When many officials heard this, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and they were extremely nervous.
Deng Haonan walked back and forth, flipping through the roster in his hand, chattering one by one.
"...... of the Criminal Department"
"The Guilty of the Minister"
"Rite ......"
"The Guilty of the Minister"
……
Deng Haonan only mentioned the name of the organ, but did not name him, but as a result, most of the hall knelt in an uproar, and Deng Haonan was angry in his heart.
"Try to have the guts to fight against Shuntianfu today, try to have the guts to challenge the lobby of the criminal department tomorrow, and maybe the day after tomorrow I want to try if I have the guts to assassinate me"
The more Deng Haonan spoke, the more angry he became, and his voice became higher and higher, so frightened that the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty knelt on the ground.
"Fear of the Ministers"
"Challenging the national machine, you should be panicking now" Deng Haonan said angrily: "Do you still think about panic when you are in the wind and snow?" ”
"Ministers deserve death"
"Do you say anything other than sin deserves death?"
"Ministers deserve death"
Deng Haonan rolled his eyes and looked at the ministers kneeling in the hall, he felt a little helpless. The government is to unite most of the members, there is really no way to do it about these old fritters, there is a way to not blame the public, Deng Haonan just scolded them to dissipate their anger, and by the way, rectify the dynasty.
For a long time, the national strength of the empire is thriving, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the bureaucracy will inevitably be arrogant, and they need to be repaired every once in a while, which is conducive to the healthy growth of the empire.
Although Deng Haonan has delegated power to the three departments, the main idea of the divine authority of the monarch is not to be challenged, and the emperor always needs to exert his authority at the right time to show his save.
In fact, Deng Haonan needed an excuse to repair the courtiers and rectify the court. First, the three consecutive cabinets of the imperial court are controlled by the Donglin Party, and this group of old fritters needs to be beaten to let them keep to themselves. Second, in a few months, Gu Mingzhe will be appointed as the first assistant of the new cabinet, and before he forms a cabinet, Deng Haonan needs to deter him and make him understand that the cabinet is responsible for the emperor.
This is part of the imperial mind technique taught by Zhang Pu to Deng Haonan, which has been mastered by Deng Haonan and is already very easy to use.
At this time, Ni Yuanlu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, asked: "Emperor Qiqi, this qiē is all under the command of Xing Yuan, the flower of Yueyuan Pavilion. Xing Yuan was blushing and misleading, and his evil words confused the public, and the ministers asked for an immediate arrest and arrest of him, so as to set an example."
Deng Haonan was so angry in his heart, these old fritters were so cheeky and raked.
"What are you accusing her of?"
"Provoking the state and disturbing public order"
Deng Haonan coughed softly, and secretly said that Ni Yuanlu is worthy of being the secretary of the Criminal Department, this kind of thing is really easy to come by, and it is effortless.
"What does a bastard have to do with a woman? Zhou Yu hit Huang Gai, did a slap sound? ”
"The Emperor Calms His Anger"
Deng Haonan was angry and said: "You are still the secretary of the Criminal Department, did Xing Yuan come forward to provoke the state?" Did she come out to disturb public order? You yourself are the ones who defy the law, and you even sue others? If this matter spreads, where will the face of the court go? ”
"The minister is guilty, and the emperor is angry"
Ni Yuanlu didn't say anything about the right place, but made the emperor even more angry, and he suddenly sweated profusely, and he didn't dare to say more.
Naturally, the other civil and military officials did not dare to say more, shrugged their heads, and had a good attitude of admitting their mistakes.
Deng Haonan took the opportunity to reprimand Ni Yuanlu, but he was also killing chickens and monkeys and beating everyone.
The effect is very ideal, and Deng Haonan is very satisfied.
It's just that Lai Youguang thought that the emperor was defending him, and he was immediately grateful, and shouted the emperor's sage again and again, which annoyed people.
"I keep this booklet for the time being, and I won't name it, you know it in your heart, and I want to see your future performance. Officials of the Empire, do not confuse work and life. In addition, today's affairs in the court must be kept strictly secret, if I hear the rumors in the streets and alleys of the capital, and the court becomes the joke of the people after dinner, then I will double down on you."
After speaking, Deng Haonan looked at Xiao Dezi, who understood, and shouted that there was something to start and retreat.
The civil and military officials were reprimanded by Deng Haonan for this toss, where is there anything to report, even if there is, they are not in the mood. Everyone was pondering the emperor's true intentions in their hearts, and they had nothing to do.
With a retreat, the civil and military officials withdrew from the hall after shouting long live.
Outside the main hall, the civil and military ministers were in groups of three or five, talking one after another. Lai Youguang wanted to get close to the front set, but he was frequently rejected, and he didn't know what to do for a while. And Chen Kun, the prefect of Shuntian, was even more helpless, although the emperor did not say it by name, but with the brains of these old fritters, he quickly guessed where the emperor got the list.
"Leave it alone"
Among the ranks of these ministers of the upper court, Chen Kun has the smallest official position and the most affairs in charge. Usually, no one dares to offend, but now he has offended more than half of the officials, and he is very aggrieved.
Although Qian Qianyi did not participate in it, many of the officials involved in the case were his students and members of the Donglin Party, so he didn't look at Chen Kun's face well. But after all, he is still the first minister, and he still understands the measurement and weight.
"The old man asked you, why did the emperor mention this? What the hell is going on, you tell me the truth."
Chen Kun finally found an outlet, and hurriedly explained to Qian Qianyi, informing him of what happened yesterday.
"I see"
Qian Qianyi narrowed his eyes, he was not old. A keen political instinct told him that things were definitely not as simple as they seemed.
"Recently you have to increase the number of people and strengthen law and order. The emperor is definitely not just here for that woman, if you want to keep your black gauze hat, now is your chance."
Chen Kun hurriedly said: "Please also ask the adults for advice"
Qian Qianyi nodded, and said as he walked, "Now is the time for the change of office, and the emperor's move may have a deep meaning." However, it is not excluded that there are other purposes, in short, how many times will the emperor rise to court this morning? Although you are a small official of the Shuntian Mansion, you can't fall behind in anything."
Chen Kun also understood, and begged Qian Qianyi to draw a way for him. As a result, Qian Qianyi told him to do his job well.
Although Chen Kun didn't understand much, he didn't want to ask too much. The words of officialdom are never clear, and they can only rely on everyone's understanding.
After being reprimanded by the emperor, the officials went home to reflect.
In the imperial study, after Deng Haonan repaired a meal of courtiers, he was in a much better mood and called Wang Chen to discuss his next move.
"What is the emperor going to do?"
Deng Haonan thought for a while and said, "It's still unclear whether these three forces are a collective? It's easy to do if it's a collective, you only need to break through one to break the whole. But if we happen to get together, we need to be cautious in case we get caught in the dark."
"The emperor means—"
"Xing Yuan's side I came to deal with the Zhu Ping you said, if it is really a retainer of the previous dynasty, then it must be for me, you send someone to test it, and it will be clear."
Wang Chen replied worriedly: "Weichen also wants to be tempted, but he can't find an excuse about Zhu Ping, Zhu Ping is very careful, whether it is a person or a teahouse, he is law-abiding."
Deng Haonan thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "I have a way"
"The emperor means—"
Deng Haonan smiled mysteriously, and then told Wang Chen his method. After Wang Chen heard this strategy, he was immediately amazed, he didn't expect the emperor to be able to think of whether this trick was intentional or unintentional, Wang Chen didn't want to guess, just did what the emperor wanted.
