My uncle's name is Zhu Di

Chapter 17 The Brave and Invincible Xu Jingchang
"Heavenly official, Jian Shangshu, Xu Jingchang did such a crazy thing, no matter what, you have to have an attitude." Minister of the Ministry of War, Ru Yu, said angrily: "He made the official documents of various ministries public, and where did he put the face of each ministries? "

Zheng Ci, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, also sighed: "It is true. The government affairs of each ministry are complicated and cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences. He made it like this and provoked disputes among the ministries. It is obvious that he has ulterior motives."

Song Li, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was quite polite, "I think it's too late to say that he has ulterior motives. It's just that Xu Tongzheng is young, ignorant of government affairs, and unconventional. Just let him take it back."

All the ministers spoke one after another, Jian Yi, the official of the official department, and Xia Yuanji, the minister of the household department, these two couldn't bear it anymore.

"Let's go meet His Majesty and ask His Majesty to issue an order to restrain Xu Tongzheng!" Xia Yuanji suggested.

Jian Yi sullenly, after a while, finally nodded.

The six ministers, the left and right censors of the Inspectorate, the left and right deputy censors, the ministers of Dali Temple, the ministers of Honglu Temple, the ministers of Taichang Temple, the ministers of Taipu Temple, and the Imperial College Jijiu...these countless important ministers stood up one after another.

"Go together, go together!"

The crowd was furious, and they seemed to go up to Luo with their swords and express their interests.

Zhu Di didn't know that Xu Jingchang had made such a big mess. He pardoned Xu Huizu by decree, and managed to stay in Empress Xu's palace for one night. Finally, he was not kicked out. The next day he was refreshed. Seeing Zheng He rushing over.

"My lord, something serious has happened. All the courtiers are waiting at the Zuoshun gate. They are very aggressive, and they all say that they want to impeach Xu Tongzheng."

Zhu Di was startled, his head was buzzing, he really couldn't understand, what happened to Xu Jingchang?

He first clashed with military officials like Qiu Fu, and then with civil servants, how did you get so disgusted by people?
Also, isn't the coordinator just a job of delivering news?
How did you manage to make everyone hate you?

Zhu Di was puzzled and had no choice but to rush to the main hall and call everyone in.

"Jian Yi, tell me first."

Jian Yi bowed and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, Xu Tongzheng has listed the number of tasks in each department in the General Administration Department, so it is somewhat beyond his duty. Therefore, there are many discussions among the ministers, and I ask His Majesty to issue an order to take it back."

Zhu Di frowned even more, "What's wrong with him announcing the work of the ministries?"

"There is something wrong!"

Ru Yu immediately said: "Your Majesty Qi Zou, the Secretary of General Administration is only in charge of the entry and exit of the titles of the memorials, how can he judge the six books? Such arbitrarily expanding power will really corrupt the national code and disrupt the rules of the court. If it is not stopped early, there will be endless disasters."

Zhu Di was puzzled, "Is it so serious?"

Zheng Ci said: "Your Majesty, it may be more serious. The government offices in Beijing are no longer able to work normally. The government is in chaos and people's hearts are fluctuating. It is too much."

The courtiers were filled with righteous indignation, gnashing their teeth, Zhu Di couldn't remember when the courtiers were so united.

Even Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji opposed Xu Jingchang, this posture is really a bit scary.

"Zheng He, go and call Xu Jingchang."

Zheng He agreed, and after a while, Xu Jingchang came again with a tired face. In front of him, several people came, including Yao Guangxiao, a junior teacher, Yang Rong, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, and Zhu Neng, Duke of Cheng.

Especially Yao Guangxiao, he didn't get involved in government affairs very much, but Zhu Di was afraid that he would not be able to grasp such a big movement, so he had to invite Shaoshi Yao.

When Xu Jingchang stepped into the hall, he felt murderous and dangerous, just like Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was attending a banquet, and Wang Situ sent his head thousands of miles away!
How about I go back and forget it?
"Xu Jingchang, why are you unconventional and causing chaos in the court?" Zhu Di scolded directly.

Xu Jingchang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister is really wronged, there is no way to say this!"

Zhu Di looked around and snorted, "Look, so many courtiers came to me early in the morning to complain, how dare you say you were wronged?"

Xu Jingchang looked at this group of people, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty, if the princes in the court can use their energy to complain to government affairs, they won't have so many backlogs of government affairs. They are the ones who are harming the country and the people. Face impeachment?"

When Ru Yu heard this, she was furious and stepped forward hastily.

"Xu Tongzheng, what do you mean by announcing the number of tasks in each department in the Department of General Affairs? Who gave you permission?"

Xu Jingchang immediately said: "Ru Shangshu, you are being unreasonable. His Majesty issued a decree a few days ago, requiring all ministries to be loyal to their duties, rectify the government, and restore people's livelihood. I am in the General Administration Department, and I have received several times more memorials. Afraid of omissions, they were classified into different categories, how much was handed over to the palace, how much was approved by His Majesty, and after being handed over to each ministry, what strategies did each ministry come up with, and how much was implemented... I just made a simple statistic, which is also the case of the Secretary of General Administration. What should be done, or if His Majesty asks, what did the Secretary of General Administration do, and whether he did not work for nothing, I can also explain a thing or two."

Ru Yu didn't listen to Xu Jingchang's words, "Are you doing something? You are clearly urging the ministries to do things! Where do you have the guts to put yourself above the six ministries?"

"What do you mean by overriding the six departments? I am just doing my duty and doing my duty, but you are in the military department. These days, you have made no achievements. You must be indebted to the Holy Grace, right?"

Xu Jingchang's firepower is fully fired, and he has the demeanor of killing key political circles back then.

And as the noise got louder, Zhu Di vaguely understood why the officials were so opposed to Xu Jingchang's actions. This kid really committed the anger of the public.

On the other side, Yao Guangxiao lowered his brows, amused in his heart, don't just be angry with the old man, let you people also experience the difficulty of this little brat!

The old monk was a melon eater, but Yang Rong, who lowered his head in thought, felt that what Xu Jingchang did was not bad.

At this time, not only Ru Yu, but also Zheng Ci, and even Chen Ying, the deputy governor of the left, also joined the battle group besieging Xu Jingchang.

Chen Ying suffered a big loss during the interrogation of the third division. Qiu Fu didn't come to help him. Afterwards, he also knew that it was Xu Jingchang who made trouble. Now that the opportunity came, how could he miss it.

"It's the prime minister's duty to regulate yin and yang and harmonize the various ministries. Xu Tongzheng, could it be that you put yourself in the position of prime minister? You must know that the emperor Taizu had an ancestral precept that he was never allowed to be a prime minister again. It's really audacious for you to do this."

This thing really belonged to a poisonous snake, and it immediately carried Zhu Yuanzhang out.

And he also pointed out the essence of the anger of the various ministries.

Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji heard what they heard, but they didn't feel much joy, on the contrary they were a little worried.

Chen Ying's poison is poisonous, but in the end the strategy is not enough!
Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the Ministry of Education and served as the Prime Minister with the honor of the emperor. It is true that he has carried it for decades without any mistakes.

But this is based on Zhu Yuanzhang's super ability alone.

Throughout thousands of years of history, there must be an institution connecting the past and the future between the emperor and his courtiers. Whether it is called the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Three Provinces, or the Zhongshu Province, it is indispensable anyway.

At present, Zhu Di has not set up a cabinet, and Xu Jingchang is in charge of the General Secretary. He has taken a step forward. In the eyes of the officials, this is a sign of the revival of prime ministership.

Don't forget that Shangshu Province originated from Shangshutai, and Shangshutai was the first to master the memorials of the officials.

Anyone who has a little understanding of the officials can see that the Tongzheng Envoy is in charge of the memorial, has great power and unlimited potential, and now that he is announcing the work situation, it is tantamount to starting to review government affairs.

The prime minister of the Tang and Song dynasties was called Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi.

The so-called Ping Zhang means to judge and distinguish.

Xu Jingchang is no longer as simple as developing the Secretary of General Affairs into a Shangshutai, and there are even signs of developing towards Tongping Zhangshi.The cruel reality has already penetrated the psychological defense of the officials.

If you don't hold you down, won't our six inspectorates become your subordinates in a long time?
"Chen Yushi, you said that the Taizu was not allowed to restore the prime minister. You are right. But the Taizu also said that the emperor's wings are not allowed to be weakened. Why didn't you say that? How many memorials have been submitted, how much the emperor has approved, and how many you have undertaken, can it be a muddled account? Emperor Taizu did not allow his ministers to deceive the emperor and deceive the saints. Also, if you sue this official together, are you forming a party for personal gain? Tongqian song? If you can unite to sue me today, will you unite and threaten the emperor tomorrow? I dare not think about it!"

Isn't it just a hat, Xu Jingchang is not afraid!

Among all the courtiers in the hall, only Duke Cheng Zhu Neng was an outsider, and he didn't see any clues. He only knew that Xu Jingchang was alone, and he had quarreled with so many ministers, and he didn't lose the wind in the slightest.

It is simply that Zhao Zilong is alive, and Changbanpo enters seven times and exits seven times!
Good boy, no wonder Qiu Fu can't beat you!

I am convinced!
The two sides were arguing more and more intensely. At this time, Yang Rong suddenly took a step forward, "Your Majesty, I think that the government is in a mess, and there is a need for a proper way to do things. I boldly suggest that this matter needs to be decided by Your Majesty himself."
