Chapter 29 Collective resignation and strike of officials
"Zhao'er, you ......"
Empress Dowager Zhang wanted to persuade Zhu Houzhao again, but when she saw Zhu Houzhao's unwavering appearance, she dispelled her thoughts, thinking that when Zhu Houzhao suffered a loss, she would stop changing the law!
But how could she have thought that in order to change the law, Zhu Houzhao has been preparing for many years, how can he stop when he encounters a little setback, anyone who blocks Zhu Houzhao's change of law is Zhu Houzhao's sworn enemy, and Liaodong farming is just the beginning.
Zhu Houzhao just sent Empress Dowager Zhang away, and Liu Jin brought another bad news, a large number of officials resigned en masse, in order to express their willingness to resist to Zhu Houzhao!
"Bastard ....."
Zhu Houzhao was furious, and the ministers thought that they could threaten him by resigning from the official strike, but it was a fool's dream.
"Dare to threaten the emperor, this kind of unhealthy trend must be resolutely stifled."
If he doesn't suppress it strongly, the ministers still think that he is the Zhao family who shares the world with the scholars, Zhu Houzhao's eyes flashed a trace of fierceness, and he instructed Liu Jin: "Go and find Li Dongyang, the first assistant of the cabinet, Yan Song, the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Shi Wenyi, the commander of the Jinyi Guard." ”
"The slave obeys."
Not long after, Li Dongyang, Yan Song, and Shi Wenyi came to the leopard room.
"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"
"Excuse me!"
Zhu Houzhao waved the sleeves of his robe, and directly threw a bunch of resignations in front of the three of them, and said with a cold face: "Let's talk about it, how to deal with it?" ”
Li Dongyang, Yan Song, and Shi Wenyi opened a book of resignatories at random and looked at them, and then looked at the pile of resignation recitals with at least dozens of copies, and they were so frightened that they were drenched in cold sweat, something big was going to happen!
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that these people deliberately resist Your Majesty's holy will on the grounds of resignation on the occasion of the country's change of law, and they should be severely punished."
Yan Song pretended to be angry and said, with a posture of loyalty and complete consideration for Zhu Houzhao.
He was originally just a small Hanlin Academy, but Zhu Houzhao promoted him to be the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, controlling the power to supervise hundreds of officials, if he didn't speak for Zhu Houzhao's platform, then he would wait to get out!
Yan Song knew very well who gave him everything he had, and he also knew the purpose of Zhu Houzhao calling him, so he didn't dare to pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he could only speak according to Zhu Houzhao's meaning.
Thinking about it, he has not yet reached the peak of this ability, but he can be regarded as entering the house!
"The minister also thinks that what Lord Yan said is reasonable, and the collective resignation is clearly contrary to the holy will and is suspected of threatening Your Majesty.
Shi Wenyi followed Yan Song's words and said, he has a close relationship with Liu Jin, and he is Zhu Houzhao's dog, so at this time, he naturally knows what to do.
And he is also very unhappy with those officials who can't do things in the court, they will only be in the wind and snow, and they will scold them for being the lackeys of the brocade guard eagle dog when they have nothing to do, and he is also very unhappy.
You must know that Jin Yiwei started by planting false accusations, falling into the well, and making something out of nothing, and he Shi Wenyi can't lose the job that Jin Yiwei has inherited from generation to generation.
"What does the teacher think about the collective resignation of officials?"
The attitude of Yan Song and Shi Wenyi made Zhu Houzhao very satisfied, and then looked at Li Dongyang, who was speechless, and asked in a rather unkind tone.
If it is said that Li Dongyang does not know and kills Zhu Houzhao, after Liu Jian Xie moved to his hometown to retire, Li Dongyang will become the leader of the civilian-official group on the surface.
"The old minister thinks that the collective resignation of officials is inherently wrong, and it is understandable to think about it, and His Majesty can send someone to reprimand him."
After Li Dongyang finished speaking, he directly lowered his head, not daring to face Zhu Houzhao directly, and the civilian clique resigned and went on strike to express his dissatisfaction with the change of law, of course he knew about this, but he didn't expect that those officials would be bold enough to send the resignation to Zhu Houzhao.
Now it's over, with Zhu Houzhao's temperament, he will never give up, and it is not good that it is another Ningwang incident, and a large number of officials were used by Zhu Houzhao to play the topic and sent to Liaodong to cultivate land and open up wasteland.
He couldn't help but complain a little in his heart about those officials who resigned, you said that you can make trouble, once every three or five times, the number of troublemakers is also controlled, and the old man can still mediate for you, maybe the emperor will be annoyed by you, and he will compromise!
But you make such a big fuss, how can the old man speak for you in front of the emperor, do you think that the emperor is the first emperor Hongzhi Emperor with a very good temper, for so many years, how many times have you been taught by the emperor openly and secretly, but you don't have a long memory.
"Extenuating circumstances? The teacher's meaning is that I am wrong, and I should get used to them, let them make money wantonly, and let them spend their money. ”
Zhu Houzhao's tone couldn't hear joy and anger, but this kind of Zhu Houzhao was the most terrifying, indicating that Zhu Houzhao's anger had accumulated to the peak, and it could completely explode at any time.
Li Dongyang, Yan Song, Shi Wenyi, Liu Jin shuddered fiercely, the last time Zhu Houzhao made King Ning's rebellion bigger with such a tone and attitude, and then a large number of gentry and wealthy families in Jiangnan who had intersections with King Ning were sent to Liaodong to farm and open up wasteland.
The angry Zhu Houzhao is not terrible, which shows that there is still room for things to turn around, and the non-angry Zhu Houzhao is the most terrifying, and what is hidden under the calm face is enough to make the world tremble.
"Old Minister......
Li Dongyang has the heart to speak for those officials who resigned, but he doesn't know where to start, he can't really say that Zhu Houzhao is wrong!
If Zhu Houzhao is really wrong, then with his understanding of Zhu Houzhao, not only those officials will suffer, but he, the head of the cabinet, and the emperor's teacher will also be implicated.
Liu Jian Xie Qian also taught Zhu Houzhao, but what happened in the end, he didn't feel that his identity as an emperor could have much impact on Zhu Houzhao, and the reason why he could still achieve the position of the first assistant of the cabinet was not because his ability was stronger than Wang Yangming, but because his qualifications were old and he could suppress the ministers, but at the beginning of Zhu Houzhao's ascension, he had some help to Zhu Houzhao, and Zhu Houzhao thought of his goodness.
"I understand what the teacher means, I will deal with it properly, teacher, let's go back and rest first!"
Zhu Houzhao couldn't hide his disappointment in his words, he still had a lot of expectations for Li Dongyang, the teacher, otherwise he would not have pushed him to the position of the first assistant of the cabinet after Liu Jian returned to his hometown to retire, but Li Dongyang disappointed him again!
"Old minister, retire!"
Li Dongyang's body trembled, his face was full of helplessness and bitterness, how did he not know that Zhu Houzhao and Wang Yangming had changed the law, all the starting point was to make Daming stronger and more prosperous, and he himself wanted to see Daming become stronger and more prosperous, but how could he be a member of the civil official group, and his interests were too deeply involved, and it was impossible to get out!
One day is a member of the civil bureaucracy, and a lifetime is a member of the civilian clique.
Unless he can learn from Yan Song, he doesn't even want to have a face, but can he do it? He can't do it, because he wants face.
Therefore, he was rigidly tied to the chariot of the civil official group by many civil officials with the word "scholar", and he could only work hard to plan and mediate for the civilian official group, but in the end he did not please either end.
Liu Jian Xie Qian is not like this, when they first entered the officialdom, they all had the heart to help the world and save the world, but as the officials did more, the more they struggled in the quagmire of interests, until they were shackled by the civilian clique and could never get out.
