Chapter 0569 - Will push the ministers
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen has put all his mind on the state affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and he is now more like a gambler than a king!
After knowing the affairs of Liaodong, after going around in a circle and still having no effect, Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of Chongzhen, devoted himself even more desperately to the construction and government affairs of the Gyeonggi region, in order to prepare for a free time to make an inspection of the Chahar Department and the Guanningjin Defense Line!
Although Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen did not mix with those ministers all day long, he put his office behind the Central Council, shortening the distance between himself and the ministers, in a short period of time, his system of government is not possible to completely replace the way of doing things in the old system, nor can it completely replace the interpersonal relations in the old system, and no reform can be done in one step!
Even the officialdom of this small Gyeonggi area is like this! After two months of trial implementation, when a large group of his nine products gradually began to integrate into this officialdom, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen decided to make a second Beijing inspection plan against the officialdom in the Gyeonggi area, because he couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes! He doesn't allow corrupt officials to be around!
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen has already grounded Sun Chengzong from farming in Huangzhuang, and Sun Shenxing is still at home! Now Liu Hongxun is the only one left among the cabinet ministers.
And this Liu Hongxun is also a fame and reputation, in vain, this person offended Wei Zhongxian during the Apocalypse, after taking office, and appeared as an anti-Wei urgent vanguard, the history of the Ming Dynasty said that he "resolutely presided over, reprimanded Yang Weiyuan, Li Hengmao, Yang Suoxiu, Tian Jingxin, Sun Zhiqi, Ruan Dacheng, Xu Shaoji, Zhang Ne, Li Fan, Jia Jichun, Huo Weihua, etc., and was very happy", and he got enough political capital for himself. And then there is such a superficial sanctimonious person. In fact, he is just a despicable person who embezzles and accepts bribes.
It would have been inappropriate to move Liu Hongxun at this time. However, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen did not allow these newcomers in his capital to be infected by the corrupt wind of those officials left over from the previous dynasty! The resolute decision was made before the imminent start of the Great War. Purging the officialdom again, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen deeply understands a truth, any iron wall is the first to start rotting inside!
And inside, first of all, at the top, only by constantly pulling out the radishes at the top, the mud below has no way to continue to hide under the radishes to make waves!
Hui Anbo and Zhang Qingzhen bribed Liu Hongxun to alter the edict. According to the old practice, the governor of the capital camp was not allowed to concurrently control the patrol army. And Zhang Qingzhen's appointment edict. In addition to the governor's camp, he added and changed the words 'concurrently under the jurisdiction of the camp' without authorization.
Under the investigation of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen, Liu Yuyan, the imperial historian, told the truth, and it was Zhang Qingzhen who bribed Liu Hongxun to revise the edict. "The military parade department revealed that Hongxun criticized the Xisi Fangyu, and Jiabi also confessed to Hongxun", the evidence is conclusive, and after the investigation of the ministry and the court, all the facts of the crime were confessed.
Emperor Zhu Youzhen himself wanted to start the Beijing inspection plan again and punish corrupt officials. With his exclusive status of imperial power in Beizhili today, there is no difficulty. The difficulty lies in the grasp of the scale and intensity of the Beijing inspection plan this time!
Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen asked Wang Chengen's opinion, "Now the group of slogans led by Zhou Yanru has been able to take charge on its own?" ”
The reason why Zhu Youzhen, the emperor of Chongzhen, called Zhou Yanru a slogan faction, because these people shouted slogans very well, and they had to shout slogans to support the emperor and support the Ming Empire before going to work every day.
Wang Chengen understood what the emperor meant, and shook his head slightly, "Your Majesty, you must not be at the same level as the first Jingcha plan, the officials in the Gyeonggi region who were originally more than 20,000 people, and now there are only two or three out of ten experienced old courtiers, less than three thousand, if you kill all these people, then who will govern for Your Majesty?" ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen sighed, "Then how long do you think it will take to do without these people at all?" ”
Wang Chengen groaned, "At least for more than five years, the promotion of officials does not depend entirely on relationships, and the ability to do things is also crucial, the emperor thinks twice." After all, it is less than three months since the last Beijing inspection plan, and the former ministers of the former dynasty, even if there are still cases of corruption, are very few, and most of them are obscure and dare not be arrogant, and it is really difficult to investigate. If the number of people involved is too wide, it is inevitable that those old cases will be pulled out again, didn't the emperor say that the doubtful cases of the previous dynasty will no longer be overturned? ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was a little frustrated, obviously very unhappy with these corrupt officials, but he couldn't move! "Forget it, I know what you mean, you go down first. I'm going to think about it myself. ”
Wang Chengen was thinking about retiring, but suddenly remembered something, and had to remind the emperor, "Long live Lord, that Hui Anbo Zhang Qingzhen is a relative of Empress Yi'an and Taikang Bo Zhang Guoji's family." ”
Of course, Wang Chengen knew the emperor's thoughts about Empress Zhang Yan of Yi'an, so he reminded.
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen was angered by Wang Chengen's reminder! "What's wrong with Queen Yi'an's family? Now it's the Chongzhen Dynasty! I am the emperor! I just want to let the officials who watched the excitement know that I will not show favoritism! ”
On the second day, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen convened a court meeting, which was temporarily convened outside the regular meeting every month, after changing the original early dynasty system, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen stipulated that there would be a regular meeting every month, but in case of urgent affairs, the court meeting was held separately, and the original daily court meeting was canceled.
Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the ministry, said: "Hongxun and Qingzhen are guilty of no excuse, and the law has a noble article, please forgive the loan." The former military department Shangshu Wang Zaijin and Miao Sishun in the staff Langzhong have not confirmed the stolen evidence, and it is difficult to sit in suspense. ”
Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen did not allow it.
Hongxunju government is determined to do things. The emperor had no choice, and retreated: "After all, the Lord is the Lord." ”
Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen heard the meaning of the officials to defend each other, and he was deeply respected, and wanted to put Hui'anbo, Zhang Qingzhen and Liu Hongxun to death. Relying on the ministers' efforts to save it, it will be a little more forgiving.
Liu Hongxun was finally sent to the state, and this punishment can be regarded as a lenient punishment. Hongxun was in the state of the Dynasty, in Jin, Sishun and cut the nationality, Qingzhen was suspended for three years as a minister. In less than a year, six of the nine members of the cabinet have been replaced, and Li Guopu has already applied for resignation, and Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen has been retained, but he still can't keep it. So in fact, in less than a year, seven of the nine people originally set by the cabinet have gone. (To be continued......)
