Chapter 710: A Move for Lack of Virtue

Zhu Houzhao really had the courage to let Zhang Xuan enter the cabinet, and he did it when he thought of it.

The next day, he announced the cabinet and the six Shangshu, plus the Imperial History of the Left Capital, the Shaofu Order, and the Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

He said to them straight to the point: "You all know what has happened in Beijing in the past few days. Don't you all have to see me? I've seen it all today, just say what you need to say, and don't shy away from it anymore.

And you are probably muttering in your hearts, I only saw Zhang Xuan yesterday. What exactly is being talked about? The result? There is no need to ask people everywhere, I have always acted squarely and dared to admit it. I come to tell you that yesterday Zhang Xuan entered the palace to report the specific measures for clearing the acres of land, a total of 4, and I have already approved them. They are respectively designated for regulations, personnel, procedures, and convictions.

The connotation is also very simple, the Qingzhang matter is ordered by the imperial court, implemented throughout the country, the surveying personnel are recruited and trained by the imperial court, and dispatched to the locality, the process of Qingzhang is also regulated by the imperial court, and finally how to negotiate the crime of the person who resists the decree. These things are already in the process of being implemented. Moreover, I have agreed to transfer Zhang Xuan to the cabinet. ”

After Yang Yiqing heard this, he suddenly felt a cramp in his heart!

This is a complete slap of his face on the ground, without the slightest thought!

He went to the palace first to advise, but the emperor did not allow it.

This is still the first step, and there will be discussions and discussions later.

Now it's okay, the Son of Heaven sees that the cabinet head is ashamed and disagrees, so he will bypass the cabinet!

From his point of view, of course, it can be understood in this way, and it is actually very humiliating.

But from Zhu Houzhao's point of view, it means something else, if you don't agree, of course I can send someone else, does the emperor have to get the approval of your minister in advance? You don't agree that this matter has to be delayed here, waiting for you?

Which dynasty and generation is this the rule? When he is what, Emperor Han Ling?

As for saying that he is not face-saving, he has always been right about things and not about people.

At this moment, the contradiction between the Son of Heaven and the Shou Yu was made public in an instant, so that everyone could see it clearly.

At this point, Yang Yiqing has no choice, he has only one choice, if he doesn't do this, he will definitely be scolded for being greedy for power, which will definitely damage his reputation.

So he got up slowly, took off his pipe hat, knelt in front of the king, and said in a characteristic hoarse voice: "The minister raised the eight years of Chenghua Jinshi, and the Menglie saint was super-promoted, and he entered the current rank." The ministers received the great grace of the three dynasties, such as the size of heaven and earth, such as the height of the mountains, such as the depth of the rivers and seas, and often ashamed of the trickle of retribution. Today's ministers are the first, with a foresight and a heavy position, and they can be said to be close to His Majesty, but they can't deeply understand the holy will, share the work of the king, and solve the worries of the king. Therefore, today, I risk death as a word, hoping that Your Majesty will dismiss the post of a minister, and the quasi-minister will go to the office, so that the reward and punishment will be appropriate, and there will be no disaster, and the heart of a hundred officials will be very fortunate! ”

After he finished speaking, the Qianqing Palace was terrifyingly quiet, and it was almost audible that a needle had dropped.

Because Emperor Zhengde is the most taboo courtiers who disagree with him and mention anything.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao did have a solemn face.

At this point, in fact, if we talk about the harm of contribution, the advantages of reform are meaningless.

It's not a battle of right and wrong, it's a struggle for power.

Even if you're right, I can't support you unless you give up on your goals entirely.

For Yang Yiqing, this goal is to be the first position of stability, because if he doesn't say this today, it will also be a handle in the future, and there will be many people who want to get him down, rather than being unsightly at that time, it is better to take the initiative to mention it at this time, so as to leave a good reputation.

The literati of the Ming Dynasty thought very clearly about this.

The reputation is not bad, and there will be opportunities in the future.

If your reputation is bad, you will be beaten as a traitorous minister, so you will not be able to gain a foothold in the officialdom, unless you are like Zhang Xuan.

Just like in history, when Zhengde made Liu Jin revolt, Li Dongyang did not leave with Liu Jian and Xie Qian, which sacrificed his reputation. Later, it was thought that he was trying to maintain the empire of the boss, but at that time people found out about his good intentions, and everyone else died.

For Zhu Houzhao, this goal is to get things done.

Otherwise, he didn't care.

Including, at this time, if he agrees that Yang Yiqing will leave like this, then in general, the official will arrange his nos in various articles and sentences, and a notoriety cannot be escaped.

He took a deep breath, "Elder Yang Ge, since you are an old minister of the Three Dynasties, you know that you can't joke in front of you. Do you really want to abandon me? You should know what kind of temper I have. ”

Yang Yiqing's heart hurt even more, the Son of Heaven was not polite to him, and as soon as the tone of his words changed, it was the words 'abandon me and leave'.

"Your Majesty, of course the minister understands that what the minister said is exactly what he thinks."

"Good!"

Zhu Houzhao turned around and said in a suppressed voice: "It's been ten years since I was in Zhengde, what did I do that I didn't object to at first?" When the sea ban was opened, it was said that the coastal people of the Ming Dynasty were vulnerable to the invasion of the Japanese invaders, and as a result, the Ming sailors are now chasing them at sea!

Cleaning up the military tun also said that the nine sides were shaken, and I was afraid that something would happen that I couldn't bear it! What's unbearable? Isn't it just a rebellion? Let them come! Shall I be afraid of them? If it weren't for my insistence, would the Tuntian grains and the border army's combat readiness be where they are today?

And so on, the conquest of Tatar, the Northwest, Japan, which thing is not opposed? On weekdays, they say that the emperor is sage, but when it comes to the current event, they say that I am confused and that I am blinded! You ask yourself, from Hongwu to Zhengde, is the hidden field in the world continuing to increase? Is the annexation of land intensifying?! Isn't the burden on the people heavier?! Did I do this just to collect a few taxes? Accept this heart as soon as possible! Although I am not an emperor of the ages like Emperor Qin and Han Wu, I am not narrow-minded and short-sighted to that extent! ”

But Zhu Houzhao didn't say this simply to lose his temper.

Especially the three questions after 'From Hongwu to Zhengde', this is a power struggle, yes, but right and wrong cannot be easily ceded to him.

It is necessary to let people know why Emperor Zhengde did this.

"Elder Yang Ge, I ask you again, do you really want to do anything about this?"

Wang Wei felt that something was wrong, the emperor could do anything, and he was not bound by any rules, so asking this question at this time was the last chance.

And don't say that you have a hard mouth, it's hard to change your mouth, your mouth is hard, is it possible that the emperor has a soft posture to talk to you about good and obedient words?

"Your Majesty!" Wang Wei said a little anxiously, "Yang Ge is impulsive, and he is a straightforward person, please calm your anger." ”

"I didn't ask you!"

Yang Yiqing clenched his fists, and he asked himself in his heart: Is this the final ending?

While thinking like this, he kowtowed, "Please ask the emperor to fulfill the old minister." ”

Zhu Houzhao's face suddenly calmed down, he no longer had any anger, and even his expression relaxed, "Then... As you say. ”

According to reason, Yang Yiqing has worked hard for the country for many years, and he has also made great contributions before, where can he not miss the old feelings?

But it's still the same sentence, since he has been the emperor, whether he is a mean and unkind monarch has his own public opinion, and Wang Bing's final ending is also there. And even if he wants to give him these four words, he has no regrets.

"Thank you!"

Yang Yiqing's heart was sour.

Zhu Houzhao is also unhappy, and he wants to break the logic of interests behind Zhishi, since Yang Yiqing has been offended, then break the jar.

"I don't know if it's true or not, and I can't care about it, because when I am the emperor, I must restore the national prestige of the Ming Dynasty.

Many years ago, I said that since I was dissatisfied and abandoned the court, there was no need to mention the past kindness. From now on, if you take the initiative to submit your resignation for personal reasons, and if you want to start again, the recommended person must explain the reason, and at the same time obtain the secretary of the ministry, and the cabinet members unanimously approve it, and finally submit it to me for approval. If there is no holy decree and I appoint him without permission, then I will find trouble with the officials. ”

Wang Wei sighed in his heart, sure enough, this is what he thought, what rules are there in the eyes of Emperor Zhengde? All the rules are the rules he set.

Zhu Houzhao pinched the pain points of these people, and he wanted to resign at every turn, didn't he just show that he was fighting and making a name for himself.

It's profitable, that's why it's rushed.

Now he is raising the price of this matter at one time, if you have the ability, you will gamble with the fame of ten years of hard study, what is the emperor afraid of? There are Jinshi every year, are you afraid that no one will be an official?

In this way, Yang Yiqing will inevitably be affected, his own interests will be damaged, and everyone will not follow him.

Moreover, after this operation, those who really choose to resign are more likely to be high-spirited!

This is a move that lacks morality.
