Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

The special establishment of the Li Fan Yuan, especially the deprivation of the authority of Yousi to distribute Zonglu, is the key to the post of Li Fan Yuan Shangshu, who was appointed by Zhang Zhiji, who inherited the British Duke.

This is not a big stimulus to the Korean and Chinese officials.

In this short period of more than half a year, too many things happened in Daming, no matter whether it was in the court or in the local area, they kept coming one after another.

Especially in the court, what Gan Gang did arbitrarily by an emperor who didn't listen to the rules, was unacceptable to those conservative civil servants, and they felt terrified in their hearts.

The confrontation between imperial power and ministerial power has never stopped.

"My lord...something happened."

Holding a stack of memorials, Wang Chengen walked quickly into the East Nuan Pavilion, with a little panic between his brows, bowed his head and said: "Cabinet Han Yu, Zhou Daodeng, He Ruchong, Qian Xiangkun, Wang Qia of the Military Aircraft Department, the left servant of the household department..."

Emperor Chongzhen, who was busy at his desk, put down the vermilion pen in his hand, and looked at Wang Chengen with stern eyes, his face was extremely ugly.

"This is a good deal, collective resignation, to threaten me."

Emperor Chongzhen said coldly: "Go, call me Han Yu and the others, as well as Wang Qia. I really want to see what they are going to do!"

"Here!"

Wang Chengen hurriedly bowed in response.

In the official circles of Ming Dynasty, there are often acts of asking for resignation on the initiative, some are sincere, some are sincere, no matter what kind, they will either approve or refute according to actual considerations.

For example, Fang Congzhe and Ye Xianggao of the Tianqi Dynasty, who successively served as the chief assistant of the cabinet, did such a move.

However, the former was plotted by the Donglin Party to use the Hongwan case to launch an impeachment offensive against Fang Congzhe, a giant of the Zhejiang Party.

The latter was burdened by the complicated political situation, and under the fierce party struggle, he adopted an attitude similar to appeasement, and submitted dozens of resignations in an unprecedented order, which were not approved until the fourth year of the apocalypse.

That year happened to be the time when the eunuch party was on the rise.

'Sure enough, I knew that the civil servants in the court would definitely not sit still. 'Emperor Chongzhen looked cold and stern, looking at the pile of petitions and memorials, he was secretly angry.

It is absolutely impossible for so many senior officials to resign collectively without prior consultation or spontaneous behavior.

What faction.

This is clearly the collision of imperial power and ministerial power.

Da Mingzi, honestly being the mascot that the civil servants want, then they will be at ease with each other and strive for their own interests.

But once this premise is gone, they will spontaneously unite again, no, it should not be regarded as unity, it should be their own nature! '

Although the Ming Dynasty did not shout the slogan of "rule the world with the scholar-bureaucrats" like Zhao Song, it has the reality of "rule the world with the scholar-bureaucrats".

On the one hand, he disliked the faction between the court and the middle party, which ruined the atmosphere of government affairs, and on the other hand, he couldn't do without scholars. This relatively passive situation was the first time Emperor Chongzhen experienced it.

In order to do a good job in the things he planned, after putting tight ties on the cabinet, implementing the accountability system and accountability system, and clarifying the term of office, Emperor Chongzhen gradually delegated power to the cabinet.

As long as it does not involve money and food matters, and does not involve important matters of promotion, the general cabinet votes will be approved by Emperor Chongzhen after he has read them.

It's just that Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect that the civil servants in the court would play this trick on himself and resign collectively?

"This is no fun."

Emperor Chongzhen sneered and said: "It seems that in recent days, there have been more frequent actions, from killing some relatives, to the national thief record, to the governor of Zhili, the Disaster Relief Office, including the Lifan Academy.

The civil servants in the court can't accept it.

However, the more such a reaction is, the more it represents the path I am taking. It is correct. Now is not the time to completely turn my face, otherwise the suspension of the court will inevitably cause the suspension of the local government.

Then... it's not fun. "

The longer he is on the throne of the emperor, the more Emperor Chongzhen can understand what it means to be in a high place and what it means to be lonely.

Pragmatic and willing ministers like Sun Chengzong, Sun Chuanting, and Lu Xiangsheng are in the minority after all. Even they will make choices in private and hesitate.

Daming, it's not a vacuum.

The environment in which the civil servants live is one of sophistication and exchange of interests!

Master of Heaven and Earth.

In addition to the first three, the latter two are also very powerful.

Han Yu, Zhou Daodeng, He Ruchong, Qian Xiangkun, Wang Qia and others walked into the East Nuan Pavilion, each of them with complicated expressions bowed to the emperor with a cold expression and said, "I will pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

Emperor Chongzhen didn't say a word, and looked at Han Yu and the others calmly.

He also knew in his heart that maybe Han Yu's resignation was not out of their own heart, but the world they were in made them have to make such a bad move.

At that time, the East Nuan Pavilion fell into silence.

Wang Chengen, who was waiting at the side, stood quietly on the spot with his head down, as if he had never encountered such a situation before.

"At the moment when the country is facing hardships, there are captives in Liaodong, bandits and civil unrest in Shanxi, official corruption in Shanxi, disasters in Zhili and Shandong, and a remnant of Bailian."

Emperor Chongzhen raised his eyebrows upside down, looked at Han Yu and the others, and said indifferently: "Did I do something outrageous, or was it a murderous tyrant who asked you all to threaten me like this?
I forced you, what did you do?Or is it that in response to the ever-changing current situation, in order to protect the eternal state of the Ming Dynasty, I set up several government offices, so that some ministers in the court were stimulated one by one?

They don't know, don't you know?
What I am most annoyed to hear now is the ancestral etiquette. Since the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Chengzu, these old people, have they ever encountered the difficulties and situations I encountered when they were in Yuji Tianxia? "

Han Yu, Wang Qia and the others all had complicated expressions, and had different thoughts in their hearts. It was not their original intention to resign this time.

It's true that people are drifting in the rivers and lakes, how can...no...it's a last resort.

From the time when the governor of Zhili was specially appointed, some public opinion in the court was not good, but after that, in just a few days, it was the Disaster Relief Office and the Lifan Academy.

Even if this is called self-hypnosis by the North Korean officials, they will not be able to hypnotize themselves.

Today's judicious handling of the current situation and tricky moves have left many people with no choice but to find corresponding excuses to oppose and remonstrate.

What a fart.

"I beseech you, Your Majesty, to abolish the mining tax forever!"

At that time, Han Yu stepped forward, without mentioning the management of the vassal court or the disaster relief office, bowed his head and saluted and said: "The current situation in the country is chaotic, but the national treasury is much more than what it was before. If your majesty does not accept your request to resign, I also ask Your Majesty to grant your advice."

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

Inside the Dongnuan Pavilion, the group of cabinet ministers and shufu standing there had complicated expressions, but in the end they all stood up one after another and bowed to Emperor Chongzhen.
