Chapter 13: Impeachment
Fengtian Hall is covered with glazed gold tiles, double eaves and heavy ridges, carved beams and painted buildings, and the doors and windows of vermilion lacquer painted gold carvings shine in the early morning sun, and the golden glow splashes in the sky.
The civil and military officials in the hall are dressed brightly, and the chest of the official uniform is embroidered with birds and beasts.
Zhu Gaoxian is in the early court today, wearing a crimson pro-dynasty dress, covered with black yarn with nine seams of leather and nine colorful jade beads before and after each seam, wearing a winged crown, a golden hairpin in the crown, and a Zhu Ying. Zhu Gaoxian, who was already suave, wore this gorgeous court dress, which made him even more noble.
The prince who did not have a vassal did not need to go to the court, but today it is not only Zhu Gaoxian who is in the court, but also the king of Han.
"How long has the household department been stuck in the fold of my military department, and if it drags on again, let the soldiers go hungry, what is the heart of your household department!"
"The turnover of your military department this year is 200,000 taels more than the resolution made at the end of last year, if you don't explain it clearly, how can you let me explain it to the emperor!"
"I'm open-minded, if you don't believe it, you can come to my military department to check the accounts, why am I afraid?"
"Didn't TM send someone to the military department, and he couldn't even enter the door, do you call this frank? I don't know, I think you are hiding in the golden house of the military department, I'm afraid it's not lewd! ”
"Bloody mouth!"
"I'll spray a mouthful of old phlegm on your face!"
……
The Ming Dynasty is full of martial virtues, and the Yongle Emperor has a martial style, and the atmosphere of the court is naturally temperamental.
It's okay to say some dirty words, but some hot-tempered ministers will do their jobs when they don't agree with each other, and directly use their fists and kicks to decide the conclusion of the dispute, as long as they don't kill anyone, everything is easy to say.
All in all, it's a sentence: if you can do it, don't BB.
His Majesty the Emperor also thinks so, you can't even win a fight, you still have the face to speak?
It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is benevolent and often comes out to persuade him.
This is also the case in the early dynasty, the head of the household and the head of the military department quarreled for a long time, and the two did not fight in the end, but just greeted each other's parents, which shows that the moral quality of the two Shangshu is still very high.
"That's it!"
Zhu Di raised his hand and interrupted the two Shangshu adults, ending the "parental defense war".
"The Ministry of War is not doing this thing authentically, so you can write another excerpt, do a good calculation, and see where the extra 200,000 taels of silver came from, and then the Ministry of Household will send someone to check, remember, don't make a mistake this time." Zhu Di glanced at the book of the Ministry of War with a little deep meaning, "Two hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount, if it is a small number like two or thirty thousand taels, the household department will not account for so much." ”
The military department thought about it for a while, from 200,000 taels to 20,000 or 30,000 taels, and this year I have to tighten my belt to live, and even the teaching department can only go once a month.
Although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, the secretary of the military department had no choice but to bow down and say, "Weichen takes the order." ”
……
It was deserted, and just as Zhu Di was about to get up and leave, a person walked out.
"Chen Jin, the right capital of the minister, impeach the British public Zhang Fu!"
Chen Jin, the right imperial historian, is in charge of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy, and is a member of the second grade. Since Chen Ying, the imperial history of the left capital, was sentenced for his crimes in the ninth year of Yongle, the imperial court has not set up the imperial history of the left capital in the past few years, and it is controlled by Chen Jin alone, and the power is extremely powerful.
"Oh?" When Zhu Di heard this, he squinted his eyes and said, "Why did you impeach the British public?" ”
"The British are leading the troops outside, and they are acting recklessly. Governor Huang Zhong killed him just because he didn't agree with him, and he was extremely arrogant! In this way, how did he become a general? Chen Jin said angrily, "The minister is dead, remove the British Duke from the general seal and the title of duke, escort back to Beijing, and then make a decision!" ”
As soon as Chen Jin said this, more than ten people stood up.
"Death to the court!"
"Death to the court!"
"Death to the court!"
"Death to the court!"
……
The court was extremely quiet, only the aftermath of death echoed.
Zhu Di sat calmly on the dragon chair and did not make a sound.
The corners of King Han's mouth rose slightly, and he looked at Zhu Gaoxian.
Such a scene, even the emperor had to think carefully. Zhang Fujie was self-conscious and unwilling to join the party struggle, and the British government was isolated in the court at this time.
And Zhang Hui, who was promoted to the right governor of the Chinese Military Governor's Office, had a calm face, not because he was strategizing, but because he had no choice.
When the general is outside, what he is most afraid of is a fire in the backyard.
If there is no one to resist the pressure on Zhang Fu, Zhu Di will issue an order to summon Zhang Fu back to Beijing.
Once Zhang Fu returned to Beijing, the purpose of the Han King was achieved.
When Zhang Fu returned to Beijing, he was bound to re-send the general to take over the Jiaozhi war and replace Zhang Fu's position, no matter how the emperor dealt with Zhang Fu in the end, the position of the British military leader could not be kept.
The British duke, who did not have military power, although still had residual power, was also abolished.
Fourth, how do you deal with it?
……
Zhu Gaoxian stretched his waist and stood up: "When will the Metropolitan Procuratorate be qualified, and how can the military generals fight?" ”
Chen Jin glanced at him, without the slightest fear of the prince, and looked at Zhu Di with righteousness: "The minister is just impeaching the British duke's style, the emperor is clear!" ”
"The Mother of Him!"
Zhu Gaoxian said disdainfully, "In the first month of the ninth year of Yongle, the emperor ordered the British Duke Zhang Fu and the Duke of Qianguo Mu Sheng to cooperate in the discussion. After the arrival of the British duke, the military order was declared. Governor Huang Zhong has always been arrogant and disobedient to orders. The British rebuked him, and Huang Zhong was disrespectful, so he beheaded him to serve the people and rectify the military authority, and no one dared to disobey the military order from then on. In July of the same year, the British defeated the general of the Chen army, Ruan Jingyi, captured more than 100 ships, captured Deng Zongji, the marshal of the Chen army, and others, and also captured and killed several enemy leaders of other units. ”
Zhu Gaoxian looked coldly at Chen Jin, the imperial history of the right capital: "You don't understand the cause and effect, why do you dare to bark at the dog in the Jinluan Palace?" Is your Metropolitan Courtyard a kennel? ”
"You!"
Chen Jin's chest was dull, and he almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.
Zhu Gaoxian said to Zhu Di: "Erchen impeached Chen Jin, the right capital of the Imperial Palace, slandered the general, disturbed the morale of the army, and should be beheaded!" ”
"You talk nonsense!" Chen Jin was anxious.
"Did this king say nonsense that you don't have points in your heart?" Zhu Gaoxian glanced at him, "Why don't we go to the military department to investigate the case now, if what is written on the case is the same as what this king said, you will borrow your head from this king, how about it?" ”
Chen Jin was choked up, his words of impeaching Zhang Fu were originally false, how could he stand up to scrutiny!
He looked at King Han for help, after all...... It was King Han who asked him to say that.
King Han was about to speak, but was interrupted by another voice.
"Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, impeached Chen Jin, the right capital of the Imperial Palace, slandered the general, disturbed the morale of the army, and should be beheaded!" Someone stepped forward.
Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is a person from the East Palace.
King Han suddenly looked at the prince, and the fat prince smiled and said nothing at this time.
"Prince, I'm a muddy horse." The corners of King Han's mouth twitched slightly, and he didn't speak, but just cursed in his heart.
He didn't expect that in the end, it would be the prince who stood on Zhu Gaoxian's side.
Originally, he slandered Zhang Fu, taking advantage of Zhang Fu's isolation in the DPRK and China, and he was fighting abroad, wanting to take this opportunity to pull down the British government.
It would be good if King Qi was the only one who would protect the British government, he would have no power in the court and would have little influence.
But if the prince also participates, then the matter is over.
King Han thought that the crown prince would not interfere, after all, the prince did not want King Qi to stand up.
But reality gave King Han a slap.
