Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 258 Reactionaries are paper tigers
Power is an absolute symbol of status. In the man-eating feudal dynasty, once the power is in hand, the order will be followed. No decent person does not like power.

In the feudal monarchy, headed by the emperor who was ordered by heaven and lived forever, eunuchs, relatives, civil servants, and generals all had their own positions of power.

"Power is the best wine in this world." Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and looked up at the heavy snow falling in the sky. A few snowflakes fell on the palm of his hand, which made Emperor Chongzhen feel the coolness, "Wang Banban, you said that those courtiers above , are you really not afraid of me, will you depose them all?"

"My lord..."

Wang Chengen, who was waiting by the side, had a look of worry on his brows, and wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything.

Recalling the past few days, the case supervised by Yin Sun Chuanting of Shuntian Prefecture, and the disturbances between the government and the opposition, Wang Chengen's heart was quite complicated.

On the one hand, the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty are sacred and inviolable.

On the one hand, it is the sophistication of the Ming Dynasty officialdom.

Every time he thinks of this, deep in Wang Chengen's heart, he quite agrees with what his royal lord said earlier, most of the people in Ming Dynasty are rebels and reactionaries!

"Have the Supervisor of Rituals received several memorials for his own resignation?" Emperor Chongzhen tossed his sleeves, turned to Wang Chengen and said, "Thinking of threatening me in such a way is really ridiculous."

"My lord...there are already 47 letters."

Wang Chengen bowed slightly, and said, "Most of them are censors from the Scientology Department...My lord, the behavior of those civil servants is certainly abominable and hateful, but you can't..."

"What can't be done!?"

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and interrupted: "I understand what you mean, it's just that they can't be allowed to resign. If this is done, then they will be a model for admonishing the king. Even if they lose their black hats, they can gain fame one by one. It is my dignity that will be hit.

But I just want to fulfill their wishes!

For their own self-interest, they are willing to serve as the vanguard of others to attack the imperial power. This is a group of rebels, reactionaries! "

"My lord..."

Wang Chengen looked up at Emperor Chongzhen, with a look of worry on his brows, he was really afraid that his emperor would become angry and act violently.

Seeing Wang Chengen's reaction, deep in Emperor Chongzhen's heart, for some reason, there was a little anger, what happened to Ming Dynasty.

Since when did the Heaven of Daming not be fully controlled by the Son of Heaven, but a group of civil servants took charge of it, and even killing some corrupt officials, house thieves and rats all depended on the situation in the court?

Thinking back to Emperor Gao, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, who ruled the world for decades, how many corrupt officials he killed in his life, made the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty bow their heads and tremble!
"The reactionaries in Ming Dynasty are just a bunch of paper tigers. They want to use this to intimidate me and the imperial power. It's really wishful thinking!" Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Chengen with a stern look, and snorted coldly: "Wang Banban, the Supervisor of Ceremonies does not treat those Please immediately approve the remark.

In addition, select a group of people from Neishutang, deliver these red-approved memorials to those officials in person, and strip off the official uniforms they are wearing!Expulsion from the government office where he is located! "

"Slave order!"

Wang Chengen hurriedly clasped his hands and said, at this moment, he could really feel the anger suppressed in his emperor's heart, so the guy who made the emperor angry must pay the price.

In the struggle between imperial power and ministerial power, there are always some officials who want to gain fame and resign themselves to achieve their political goals.

The right to speak of public opinion is in the hands of the civil servants. Even if what the Son of Heaven is doing is right, but according to the public opinion, it is also wrong.

Emperor Chongzhen was very satisfied with the disturbances caused by the case supervised by Sun Chuanting this time, and the political goal he wanted to achieve was achieved.

The case that should be tried, in the shortest time, Sun Chuanting withstood the pressure of all parties, and the case was settled.

Taking advantage of the turmoil that had occurred before, and under the advice of Zhu Chunchen and the others, the edict should be granted to the earl of the British line, and it was clarified smoothly.

Even taking advantage of this political turmoil, a group of censors related to the Donglin Party were eliminated, and many positions were vacated in Kedao.

Then the next thing to do is to see blood!
"My lord... Sun Fu Yin asks to see you."

Han Zanzhou bowed slightly, came to Emperor Chongzhen, bowed his hands and bowed.

"Xuan." Emperor Chongzhen said coldly.

The many turmoil involved in the tax resistance of Chongwenmen made Emperor Chongzhen understand that if he wanted to take back the part of the country's due interests from the hands of vested interest groups, he would encounter all kinds of counterattacks.

Just like his own imperial grandfather, Emperor Wanli sent the eunuchs around him to various parts of Daming to serve as guard eunuchs to collect mining taxes.

All kinds of turmoil and riots during the period, from the perspective of a bystander, except that the wrong people were indeed employed, and the group of guarding eunuchs released outside was indeed greedy. The underlying logic behind this also included officials, gentry, landlords and other vested interest groups , I don't want to make a plan to get the meat in the mouth and then spit it out.

In the rich Jiangnan region, the tea tax levied in some places is only a little over a hundred taels. Isn't this a series of connections from top to bottom, treating the Ming emperor like a fool? !

"Chen...Sun Chuanting, pay homage to His Majesty!"

"Excuse me."

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said to Sun Chuanting: "Sun Qing, is it clear that the case of Shuntian Mansion Governor's Handling has been clarified? Is there anything that can be overthrown?"

"It's all clear."

Sun Chuanting said: "There is nothing that can be overthrown. The confessions made by the criminals have all been signed and pledged, and Cheng Guogong also has attributive words."

"Okay, Shuntian Mansion has done a good job in this matter."

Emperor Chongzhen flicked his robe sleeves, and said in a loud voice: "Since the iron case has been settled, let's kill it! Especially those who have the salary of the Ming Dynasty and eat the imperial food of the Ming Dynasty, dare to commit crimes against the wind and ignore the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, they are really insane.

Don't have to wait for next year's autumn competition.

At noon tomorrow, all of them will be escorted by the Zhongyong Army to Xishi for execution, and the people in the capital will be ordered to watch the execution. The atmosphere of our Ming Dynasty has actually deteriorated to such an extent.

Some ministers in the court still want to use this to intimidate me, okay, then I will use their death to frighten the court, and see who dares to make trouble out of nothing! "

"..."

Sun Chuanting was shocked. He didn't expect the emperor's will to be so strong that he didn't even wait for Qiu Jue. This showed his attitude.

"Sun Qing, come here." When Sun Chuanting was shocked, Emperor Chongzhen stretched out his hand and said, "I'm here to tell you what to do with this execution."

Sun Chuanting subconsciously walked forward, leaned slightly, and Emperor Chongzhen whispered in his ear, after hearing what the emperor said and the method of execution, Sun Chuanting showed astonishment on his face, but at the same time he was secretly relieved in his heart.
