Wei Dazhong's words made the civil officials present not know what to say, how can you, a six-section official, help Xichang speak.

Zhang Gui also glanced at Wei Dazhong, who was standing outside the civil official class, in surprise.

"Don't be cowardly!"

"Keep going!"

"Is it because after seeing me take out the "Great Message", I am afraid that my uncle will be stimulated to make another big move?"

Zhang Gui scolded a few words.

Although after more than 200 years of hard work by the Confucian ministers in the Ming Dynasty, the "Great Message" has gradually faded to the point where it is not as easy to find "Golden 0 Bottle Plum Words" as it is in the Ming Dynasty, but this does not mean that you can't find it if you really want to find it.

You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang has long used the method of having "The Great Message" at home, and if he commits a crime, he can reduce his sentence, so that many people in the early Ming Dynasty can do one copy per household.

If you really want to look for it among the people, you can still find it.

It's just that the local officials no longer recognize the legality of the book.

It is also ironic that the bureaucrats who emphasize the ancestral system the most are unwilling to admit the "Great Message", which truly symbolizes the ancestral system.

Zhang Gui took out this "Great Message" at this time, which was regarded as catching these ministers off guard.

They don't dare to say big things, they can't say it, they can't say that the ancestral system can be violated.

Seeing Wei Dazhong say this, Tianqi said, "In that case, let's go back to work." ”

"Yes!"

Wei Dazhong hurriedly retreated to the court, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart: "This uncle can't be provoked, he takes out the "Great Message" now, who knows what else he will come up with if I stimulate him again?" I hope that if I say this, I can also make His Majesty give up the restoration of the ancestral system of peeling and grass, compared to peeling and grass, the West Factory is really nothing! ”

Apocalypse got the "Great Message" at this time, looked at it, then looked at Wang Ji and the others, and said in a deep voice: "When you asked me for money for the soldiers and civilians of the world, I didn't show the slightest hesitation, and then, that's how you treated me?" When he embezzled military salaries, he didn't hesitate?! Are you worthy of my trust in you by doing this?! ”

"Your Majesty, there is a saying in the Book of Rites: You can't punish a doctor! Please be a benevolent and virtuous monarch and rule the country with leniency! Don't listen to treacherous slander and do things that are not holy kings! ”

Wang Ji replied in a trembling voice.

Zhang Gui laughed: "Be reasonable, if you don't listen, you have to talk about the ancestral system; Now talk about the ancestral system, and you will talk about the words of the sages; In this world, you have the final say, or Your Majesty has the final say?! even said that according to the ancestral system, it is the way of the non-holy monarch, according to your meaning, the Taizu is not the holy monarch? ”

As he spoke, Zhang Gui said: "Your Majesty, Da Sima is not only bullying the monarch, but also bullying the ancestors!" ”

"Your Majesty, Minister!"

Wang Ji was suddenly anxious, and was busy trying to justify.

Tianqi directly ordered: "Come on, all those involved in the military department who are greedy for the military salary allocated this time will be arrested, and they will be imprisoned first, and they will have no family property." In addition, the three legal divisions must be disposed of according to the ancestral system stipulated in the "Great Message"! Those who are greedy for more than 60 taels of ink will peel the last grass! ”

"The criminals also have evidence of the embezzlement of ink and silver by the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Works."

Wang Wenyan said at this time.

The apocalypse said: "Deal with it like this, catch it when it should be caught, peel it off when it should be peeled, and don't tolerate it!" So that I will be clear and peaceful! ”

"No! Your Majesty! ”

Huang Kezhang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, shouted in pain at this time, and then said: "Your Majesty, such a treatment is too harsh, the old minister asks Your Majesty to be merciful and forgive them, right?!" ”

Xiao Jingao, the secretary of Dali Temple, also said: "Your Majesty, as Da Sikong said, this is not benevolent!" In the past, Taizu was because the world was initially decided, and the people's hearts were frivolous, so he had to carry out heavy regulations, but now I am Daming Haiyan River is clear, and the people's hearts are obedient, and I should be benevolent, Your Majesty! ”

Zou Yuanbiao, the imperial history of Zuodu, said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, in order not to make the holy virtue fall into an unkind place, this decree is really difficult to implement by the three law divisions!" ”

"Where is the Haiyan River clear in the Ming Dynasty now, the people's hearts are obedient, and what I see is internal and external troubles! In my opinion, now my Ming Dynasty has reached the time when it is not good to repeat the canon! ”

Apocalypse said, "You must act according to the ancestral system!" ”

"Please take back your order!"

Huang Kezhang replied.

"Please take back your order!"

Xiao Jingao also followed.

"Please take back your order!"

Zou Yuanbiao also said.

The three of them are now the court officials of the three law divisions, and they naturally know how the Ming Dynasty is now governed by the officials, and they also know that if they implement the emperor's will, they will completely offend the ministers of the world, and they will be infamous as cool officials, so they are unwilling to carry it out.

"Do you dare to resist the decree?"

Apocalypse asked in a cold voice at this time.

"Please take back your majesty's order! Do the way of benevolence, don't torture the sergeant doctor! ”

"Please take back your majesty's order! Do the way of benevolence, don't torture the sergeant doctor! ”

"Please take back your majesty's order! Do the way of benevolence, don't torture the sergeant doctor! ”

……

However, after the apocalypse asked, more Wenchen shouted like a swarm, intending to prevent the emperor from using the monarchy to pressure the three law divisions to implement the ancestral system.

Seeing this, Wang Ji began to have a glimmer of hope and smiled secretly.

"Jin Yiwei!"

But Apocalypse is not a lord who is easily subdued, and he shouted loudly on the spot.

"The minister is here!"

When he was in charge of the brocade guards, Zhang Gui, who was in charge of the Xiyuan guards, responded, and looked at the brocade guards outside the hall.

"Your Majesty! If you really insist on this, the ministers can only resign! ”

Not to be outdone, Huang Kezhang and the others took off the crown on their heads and put it on the ground.

For a time, many civil servants did so.

At this time, Zhang Wenda, the secretary of the ministry, couldn't help shouting: "Your Majesty, do you really want to make the court empty from now on?!" And plunged the government into chaos?! It is not reasonable to peel the skin last and herb if you are greedy for more than 60 taels, who doesn't know that I have always been a thin official, and if you are more than 60 taels, you will use such torture, so some ministers will die in a small matter, and Your Majesty will lose virtue and lose morality! Your Majesty! ”

"Ridiculous! Your Majesty abides by the ancestral system, how is it immoral? When did the bureaucracy become a reason to be greedy for ink? Don't think you have much money to be an official? If you want to make a fortune, you can do business and fight on the battlefield! Why steal the people's fat and state funds and do great things in the name of serving the monarch and establishing a life for the people! ”

Zhang Gui refuted at this time.

Then, Zhang Gui once again sacrificed a big killing weapon and said to the apocalypse: "Your Majesty, the minister believes that the emperor has been raising soldiers for two hundred years, and there is no shortage of soldiers who are willing to do their best for the country and the people!" Even if I follow the ancestral system, I still have officials available, and there are many good officials available! Your Majesty, please open Enko! After a group of greedy officials who are unwilling to clarify the rule of officials in the imperial court, it is just right to let those who are aspiring to serve the country serve the imperial court! The minister believes that there are many scholars who are willing to continue to serve the imperial court, even if the money is indeed meager! ”

Tianqi deeply thinks that in the Ming Dynasty, three-legged toads may not be easy to find, but two-legged Confucian students are everywhere.

So, Tianqi nodded: "That's right, what Qing said is very true!" ”

Then, Tianqi looked at the civil officials in the court: "Whoever wants to resign from the court, stand up now, I am here to be sure!" Don't delay me to open Enke next and take the real virtuous minister! ”

"Kaienko?"

"Can this be?"

The civil officials present suddenly realized that if the emperor really did what Zhang Gui said, then his own people would resign in vain, and it would be useless!

Because of the Ming Dynasty to the present, there is indeed no shortage of people who are big officials, in the Ministry of Officials, there are many people queuing up in a county, some places such as the Jiangnan area, waiting for the officials to be officials such as carp across the river, not to mention the hair, that is, not to mention the money, even upside down, it is estimated that there will be scholars who are willing to come out to be officials.

After all, there are many scholars who are big landlord families, rich, and don't care about money, just for fame.

Sun Chengzong also had to secretly marvel at the wisdom of his uncle Zhang Gui, and thought that if he objected again, he didn't know what tricks his uncle would come up with to harm the court, so he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with what Uncle Guo said, in order to clarify the rule of officials, the greedy officials should be punished with the ancestral system!" ”

Sun Shenxing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, deliberately opposed Kaienke, so he said: "Your Majesty, the imperial examination is a great ceremony for talents, how can it." ”

But before Sun Shen finished speaking, Wei Guangwei, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Uncle Guo said is a word of insight, and he should open Enke, which not only shows the grace of the monarch's father, stabilizes the hearts of the people in the world, but also selects real talents for the country and makes up for the lack of government and politics!" ”

Wei Guangwei wished that Sun Shenxing would stop the emperor from opening Enke, so that Sun Shenxing could only resign, and he happened to replace Sun Shenxing as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

You must know that there are only a few positions in the Daming Cabinet Ministers, and they can occupy one of them as soon as possible.

Seeing this, Sun Shenxing was furious, and hurriedly bowed directly to the ground, and changed his words: "Your Majesty is benevolent!" Kaien Ke is good governance, and the minister is the son of the world, Xie Wu Huang Longen! ”

Wei Guangwei: "......"

Qiao Yunsheng, the servant of the Criminal Department, saw that Huang Kezhang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, threatened to resign and refused to carry out the punishment of peeling the skin and grass, so he couldn't wait to be promoted to the secretary of the Criminal Department, and he resolutely stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with what Uncle Guo said, in order to clarify the rule of officials, the greedy officials should be punished with the ancestral system!" Even if it is not just sixty taels, but even if it is greedy for a penny, it is disloyal, and it should be peeled off! ”

Qiao Yunsheng's doing this is undoubtedly equivalent to telling the apocalypse, let me be the secretary of the Criminal Department, I am willing to carry out your will, even if it is changed to a greedy ink article, I am also willing to carry it out, as long as I am promoted!

Anyway, in order to be promoted, I want to roll! Raise the bar for loyalty and kill these colleagues!

Huang Kezhang looked at Qiao Yunsheng speechlessly, and had to admit that many people in the civil officials were eager to replace him, so he repented: "The minister is old and faint, and the words of the uncle of the country make the minister enlightened, and the minister is willing to carry out His Majesty's will!" ”

Qiao Yunsheng glared at Huang Kezhang angrily, and said in his heart: "So shameless?!" ”

Zou Yuanbiao, the imperial history of Zuodu, also got up at this time and changed his words: "Uncle Guo's words made the minister deafening, and the minister retracted what he said just now, and is willing to carry out His Majesty's will!" ”

Xiao Jingao, the secretary of Dali Temple, also put Liang Guan back: "The minister was reckless just now, Your Majesty forgives you!" ”

Seeing this, Wang Ji couldn't help but say, "You don't want to protect me anymore?" ”
