At this point, no one is scared anymore.

The vassal kings, nobles, and generals in Beijing were all happy, and they wrote to demand that the prince be deposed.

Cabinet scholars, officials of the six ministries, and scholars from the last few departments also wrote to ask for easy storage.

There are only middle-level civil officials, and most of them are still on the move.

Early the next morning, Zhu Qiyu rarely went to Fengge in person and had a rough understanding of the recital of the hundred officials.

Gao Yao and others worked very well, classifying the performance of vassal kings, nobles, military generals, and civil ministers, and putting them neatly and neatly.

Seeing that the middle-level officials still refused to give in, Zhu Qiyu instructed He Yi: "The success of Nanjing's surprise attack by the Japanese invaders this time shows that Nanjing's team is seriously insufficient, and it is also that the first emperor paid insufficient attention to Nanjing.

The Ming Dynasty implemented the two-Beijing system, not only Beijing must have strong soldiers and strong horses, but Nanjing must also have elite soldiers and strong generals.

Supplement and supplement the officials in Nanjing, and do it immediately, and order the Ministry of Officials to select a large number of officials from Beijing and transfer them to enrich Nanjing. ”

He Yi understood and hurriedly received the order.

Zhu Qiyu didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

On the same day, the Ministry of Officials selected 20 people from the Langzhong and Wailang of the Sixth Department in Beijing and transferred them to the Sixth Department in Nanjing.

This was the first batch, and the next day, the Ministry of Officials selected the second batch: more than 30 people were selected from the Sixth Department of Beijing and transferred to the Sixth Department of Nanjing.

On the third day, more than 30 officials were elected from the Hanlin Academy, the General Administration Division, and the Honglu Temple.

Zhu Qiyu's attitude is very straightforward, and he doesn't pretend anymore, starting from the sixth department, and counting down, to the Hanlin Academy, Tongzheng Division, Honglu Temple, Guanglu Temple and other yamen, as long as you don't support Yichu, hurry up and get out of me.

Lai did not retreat in the imperial court, and he was transferred to Nanjing and never came back. Those who are willing to take the initiative to request Zhishi will be approved immediately and will never be retained.

Daming lacks everything, but there is no shortage of people who are willing to be officials.

There are many people in the world who are in the opposition and have no ambition to lift people, and those who raise people must be worse than these Jinshi who are officials? Not necessarily.

Moreover, most of the official positions in the imperial court do not require the officials to have great ability.

What's more, there are so many young and vigorous Jingtai Dynasty newcomers who are eager to make contributions, these people are all Zhu Qiyu's protégés of the Son of Heaven, and I wish all the civil officials in front of them would get out.

On the morning of the fourth day, He Wenyuan, the secretary of the ministry, was still leading his subordinates to intensively examine the officials of Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, and Taifu Temple, preparing to clean up another batch and go to Nanjing.

Wang Wen personally went to the ministry to stop everyone, and then dragged He Wenyuan to the cabinet.

Wang Wen said with a smile as he walked: "It's okay, early this morning, the recital of the request for Yi Chu has already filled the cabinet, and almost all the ones that should be played have been played."

We checked the list in the cabinet and transferred the very few officials who did not make the show to Nanjing, and the matter was settled. ”

He Wenyuan shook his head helplessly, these people are cheap, if you are really so loyal to the orthodox emperor, you will accept his edict and openly oppose the current saint, you don't have the courage and courage.

If you want to protest silently, you just transferred more than 80 officials, and you can't hold on again.

It's useless to persuade with good words, you have to give you something tough, you can be honest, this is not what a lowly is.

Politics is such a thing, once one side shows weakness and retreats, the opponent will have the upper hand and chase after the victory. In this way, a general trend will be formed that is irreversible.

After dealing with the transcript of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, the cabinet led by Wang Wen and He Wenyuan opened the next topic: officially announcing to the world that Zhu Qizhen, the eldest son of Xuanmiaoshu, was treason and rebellion.

Wang Yining, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, relied on the eunuch Wang Chengjin to enter the cabinet by relying on the eunuch Wang Cheng, and Zhu Qiyu acquiesced to Wang Yining's entry into the cabinet in order to compensate Wang Cheng, whose power was damaged.

It is equivalent to Wang Yining, who indirectly belongs to Zhu Qiyu's side.

Rao is like this, in the face of Wang Wen and He Wenyuan's seemingly appalling but actually reasonable proposals, Wang Yining still raised questions:

"King Yi is indeed suspected of treason and rebellion, but it is too unsparing to tell the world. And the royal family will be fought in the world, how will hundreds of millions of subjects think? ”

Wang Wen retorted: "What does it mean to be suspected of treason and rebellion? The traces are so clear, how can there be any suspicion?

Besides, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings in the country. There can only be one son of heaven in the Ming Dynasty, and you, as a courtier, have the responsibility to maintain the Ming Society.

So you have to have a position either to overthrow the current saint or to overthrow the emperor Yi Wang, who is the emperor of the restoration.

There are two emperors in the Ming Dynasty at the same time, and if you ride the wall and swing and thin mud, it will be a bit too much. ”

Wang Yining was stunned for a moment, and only replied after a while: "I naturally support the saint, King Yi is indeed treasonous and treasonous, I just think it should be handled tactfully."

Take King Yi and send him back to Xiaoling. ”

At this time, Geng Jiuchou stood up and expressed his attitude: "The Holy One has already done his best of benevolence and righteousness, since we are loyal ministers of the Holy One and the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty, why should we force each other hard, and we have to endure it endlessly."

Besides, the battle for the throne and the battle for the country can be concluded as soon as possible, so that the Ming Dynasty can concentrate all its efforts to restore Zhongxing and reproduce the prosperity of Yongle. ”

Yao Kui praised when he heard this: "This is very true, the turmoil in the Ming Dynasty has lasted too long. If it is not settled, it will shake the authority of the imperial court and weaken the confidence of the gentry and the common people.

Once unrest is triggered, the consequences are unimaginable.

Moreover, the Yiwang line is no longer suitable for inheriting the throne, which is also obvious. And why hesitate any longer, only to increase the variables. ”

Xiao Di and Huang Pu also expressed their agreement.

In addition, Xu Youzhen, Jiang Yuan, and He Yi, who were not present, also definitely supported the emperor, and the Yi Chu faction in the cabinet formed an overwhelming advantage.

So the cabinet jointly played a petition, requesting that King Yi be convicted of treason and rebellion, demoted to a concubine, and imprisoned in Fengyang. And Zhu Jianshen was involved in King Yi's rebellion, so he should also depose the title of prince and demote him to a concubine.

Just after lunch, Zhu Qiyu received the transcript.

Zhu Qiyu was crooked on the couch and couldn't help but sigh: "Those ministers are cheap, when I see that I have really transferred all the opponents to Nanjing, they are all honest."

Send back the cabinet recital, and order the hundred officials to deliberate.

Let them play and express their opinions.

Those who did not agree to abolish King Yi and the crown prince as concubines were all transferred to Nanjing. Let the officials transfer twenty officials every day until they are dispatched.

I don't believe in evil yet. ”

Lin Xiangyu hurriedly asked: "Do you really want to turn Jianshen into a concubine and lock him up in Fengyang?" In the end, my aunt and nephew, we still love him. ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Fake, let the ministers be bad guys, and ask that Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Jianshen be abolished as concubines." As for me, come to be a good person, abolish Zhu Qizhen as the king of the county, and demote Zhu Jianshen as the prince.

I have already chosen Zhu Jianshen's place to be a vassal domain, it turns out that King Xiang's palace in Changsha is very good, so let's give it to Jianshen.

As for Zhu Qizhen, send him back to Xiaoling, and after a while, Najin will be covered to death. ”
