Why did the emperor rebel?

Chapter 196

All the officials looked at Chen Yi, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.

It is too difficult for him to be the censor of the left capital!

Obviously he can't control the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but every time something happens to these censors, he will be asked in the end.

It was like this last time at the Great Court Meeting, and it will be like this again this time.

Who did he provoke? This is it!

With his many years of experience in the officialdom, Chen Yi could clearly tell that there was a pitfall in what the Son of Heaven said.

Maybe, just wait for him to come forward to maintain...

However, even if he knew in his heart that there was a pit ahead, he still had to jump.

This matter involves the authority of the entire Ke Dao.

As the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it was impossible for Chen Yi to hide from him, and it was even impossible for him to have any confused position.

You must stand unswervingly on the side of the censor.

So, Chen Zongxian sighed in his heart, stepped forward, and said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, the purpose of setting up the scientific way in my court and emphasizing the way is to make the government affairs clear and curb the corruption of officials. Rumors and rumors are the foundation of a smooth way of speaking. Because of this, all officials in the imperial court are alert and dare not slack off."

"Since Emperor Taizu set up six subjects and thirteen ways, the officials of Fengxiantaiyuan have heard a lot about things, and they have been admonishing them directly. , Only then will there be a scene of political harmony and harmony.”

"Wei An's rash impeachment of the Ministry of Household Affairs is certainly wrong, but it is still in the category of rumors and rumors, and there is no word or deed that exceeds the rules. Therefore, I implore your majesty to take back the previous order and change it to reprimand."

It should be said that Chen Yi is still very smart.

Although his position cannot be changed, the way he speaks can be changed.

As soon as he came up, he first explained the importance of the rumors to the court, so he chose himself first, and clarified himself tactfully, he didn't intend to oppose the emperor.

Then give the emperor a good compliment, and finally explain his own opinion, which can be regarded as taking into account the emperor's face and standing his own position.

If it was left in normal times, Zhu Qiyu would let it go if he was not sure. After all, Mr. Chen has such a strong desire to survive, it is not good to hold on to it.

But this time it's different.

Zhu Qiyu is naturally aware of the importance of Ke Dao Yushi.

There is nothing wrong with gossip.

Just like what Chen Yi said, gossip is the root of a smooth flow of speech.

There are six subjects and thirteen ways, six subjects are suppressed, and thirteen paths are suppressed.

These admonishers hold the power of supervision and impeachment in their hands, and they are always watching every government affairs of the imperial court.

It is precisely because their impeachment does not require any evidence, so court officials will be cautious when doing things, and try to follow the rules of the court as much as possible.

After all, no one wants to be caught by the censors, and then check it hard.

But here's the problem.

Since the Great Court Meeting, the power of officials has become a little too active.

It's not that this kind of activity is not good, but that it would be a terrible thing to lose the power to supervise all officials as a speaker.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Qiyu spoke slowly.

"The words of the General Constitution are justified, there is nothing wrong with rumors and rumors, and it is not the Ming Jun's actions to be convicted of words, but what happened today, I have to punish!"

The position is different, the way of speaking is naturally different.

Chen Yi is a subject, so he is used to explaining the reason first, and then the conclusion, which will be more convincing.

But as the emperor, Zhu Qiyu is used to saying the conclusion first, and then the reasons.

So as soon as he opened his mouth, he set the tone.

He won't change his decision.

Seeing that there are a few more censors below, they can't help but want to come out.

Zhu Qiyu continued to speak with a calm face.

"There is nothing wrong with the censor's impeachment, but what I want to ask is, is this impeachment out of public interest, or to vent personal anger?"

One sentence made Wei An's face flushed red, and many of the censors also lowered their heads, no longer aggressive.

Zhu Qiyu sat at the top, paused for a while, his eyes scanned the gazes of the officials below, and his voice was calm.

"A while ago, the Ministry of Household Affairs suggested that pepper and sumac be discounted from salaries, and many censors objected. Let me think that you and others are concerned that there are still many low-level officials in Beijing who need to rely on salaries to live, so they speak up out of justice."

"However, for the construction of the city this time, the Household Department either refused to allocate money to put aside the construction, or embezzled the money for improper purposes. It was just that the treasury was tight and it was temporarily allocated. What is wrong with this matter?"

"Furthermore, there was a ministry discussion beforehand, and then there was a court discussion. The household department's bank transfers were divided and distributed, and they were all submitted to the Secretary of the General Administration for investigation."

"Even if there is something inappropriate, you should first clarify the reason and say where the excessive allocation of money has caused the construction of the new city to be hindered. Now, regardless of the reason, it is not a statement to impeach the Ministry of Households and demand immediate allocation of money to build the new city. What should the official do?"

The emperor's tone was calm, without the slightest hint of accusation, as if he was just narrating a plain fact.

But at this moment, all the courtiers in the palace, especially the censors, couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.

Chen Yi who was standing in front was not that nervous, but he couldn't help but sighed in his heart.

I ask you to do it!

I really think the emperor is easy to handle.

In fact, he, as the censor of Zuodu, has long been aware of the excessive activity of the censors recently.

Since the Wang Zhen incident, although the censors have been punished, they have also been encouraged, and gradually understand the importance of supervisory power in their hands.

The country is currently in troubled times, and most of these censors have just been promoted and are in full swing.

In addition, although the current emperor, although powerful, is often only revealed in high-level discussions.

In court meetings and most occasions, he is a kind and benevolent monarch who listens to advice and accepts advice.

Therefore, the participation of these censors in the government has been greatly improved.

If you participate more, you will naturally become presumptuous and forget your own duty.

It's not that Chen Yi didn't want to stop it.

But the Metropolitan Procuratorate is different from other yamen. Another sign of Ke Dao Fengxian is its strong independence.

Although the thirteen censors are only seventh-rank, they can participate in the early court with an exception, and everyone has the right to play directly.

As the chief officer of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, although he has the right to examine these censors, it is impossible for him to really threaten them with this.

Otherwise, even he himself will be impeached, so he can only try his best to cover them up in the court and in front of the emperor.

But in the end, there is a day when you can't protect yourself.

In the end, I still came to this step...

In the first part, the voice of the Son of Heaven was still flat, but there was a hint of coldness in it, which made people subconsciously dare not look up.

"I give preferential treatment to Ke Dao because you are waiting to picket the officials, and what you do is to offend people. The imperial court gives the right to admonish the officials to hear the news, and it is for the smooth government affairs of the imperial court and the cleanliness of the officials."

"But now, you are using the power of rumors to attack the seven ministers, disrupting the court situation, using the court's excellent appearance as a talisman, unscrupulous, abusing power to vent your personal anger, using the court's public tools to seek your own selfishness, how dare you ask me to forgive you?" ?”

That's a lot to say!
A group of censors who had just jumped out immediately knelt down and kowtowed deeply, not daring to raise their heads.

The whole hall was silent, no one dared to say a word.

but……

It's still the same sentence, others don't need to speak, but as the chief official of the six subjects and thirteen fields, as the censor of Zuodu, Chen Yi can't escape no matter what.
