Jingming

Chapter 48 Do you want to force the palace?
"In the second year of Zhengde, Wang Qiong seized the people's land and offered it to King Heng, filling the border with innocent people, which almost sparked a civil uprising."

"In the third year of Zhengde, Wang Qiong didn't follow the regulations when he was in the household department. He borrowed money from Taikuang to border towns. Later, he was also transferred to Nanjing because of the accounting of the household department."

"During his tenure as Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Wang Qiong falsely transferred Liaodong and Yansui troops to Xuanfu to cater to the emperor, and framed the governors of Yunnan and Gansu at that time and were imprisoned."

"Peng Ze made great contributions to managing Hami, but Wang Qiong only pursued the defeat of Jiayu, falsely accusing Peng Ze of inflating gold coins, breaking promises and instigating provocations, humiliating the country and losing teachers, and even Peng Ze was demoted as a citizen."

"As for Qian Ning and Jiang Bin, Wang Qiong is even more intimate with them, far surpassing the legitimate exchanges required by other courtiers due to official duties. The things of giving and receiving privately are even more innumerable!"

After Yang Tinghe made a pass, he said in a sonorous tone: "Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to learn from you and order the Ministry of Punishments, the Procuratorate, and Dali Temple to strictly investigate Wang Qiong's crimes, and to declare the canonical punishment!"

After he finished speaking, he saw that many people came out later, and all of them echoed their words, asking Zhu Houcong, the holy judge, to deprive Wang Qiong of his post and put him in prison for punishment.

And Yang Tinghe obviously had a posture of having him but not me, after all, this was publicly tearing his face in front of the new king.

One is the chief assistant of the cabinet, and the other is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who is actually the head of the nine ministers.

In comparison, Liang Chu, the second assistant, and the other three impeached ministers are like Wang Qiong's additions.

Liang Chu was already acting as if he was going to be punished by the crown. Wang Qiong felt that he had said everything he needed to say. He knelt down and faced Zhu Houcong and said with grief and indignation: "Crowd up and attack everyone's mouth, this is the same trend of the party! Only please His Majesty's holy order!"

Wang Qiong climbed up through many positions step by step.

He does not have the status of being an imperial teacher like Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu, and he does not have the "comrades" who have been cultivated in Beijing for many years.Every time he took a step forward, he did not leave the help of his ministers and lucky ministers, how could others think highly of him?
But Wang Qiong can only go this way to the end: now the ministers and lucky ministers have died because of the death of Emperor Zhengde, the decline of the decline, and the imprisonment of the imprisoned.The only thing Wang Qiong can rely on is the new monarch, and only his need to suppress the powerful Yang Tinghe and control the right to speak in the court.

It doesn't matter whether Yang Ting and the others misunderstood the emperor's behavior of checking the accounts, or they had already organized this wave of attacks on Liang Chu, Wang Qiong and others before the new king ascended the throne.

Now that the emperor is the first to bring up this topic, Wang Qiong wants to clearly label Yang Tinghe as a faction.

With such a big hat, Yang Tinghe is bound to stand up and confront him.If he really wants to maintain or even improve the cabinet and his own right to speak about the important affairs of the imperial court, he must win this attack on Wang Qiong.

Your Majesty, are you worried that Yang Tinghe is too powerful?

Yang Tinghe has been the chief assistant for many years, how many people should he have recruited and recommended for promotion?
Now Yang Tinghe took the lead in launching a general attack on Wang Qiong, and the overwhelming majority of civil servants agreed.

Will the emperor quarrel with each other because of the need for different opinions, and will he keep Wang Qiong because he competes with Yang Tinghe for the right to speak in the government?

Zhu Houcong looked at the situation as he wished, and said with emotion: "Okay, it's really good. What I said before was in vain, and I pretended to be deaf and dumb. The first priority of national affairs is to employ people, right? The elder Liang Ge resigned, Let me talk about it first. Come, come, start with Wang Qiong, those who are determined to be incompatible with him, stand in the middle."

Zhang Jiuxu was the first to go to Shu to impeach Jiang Mian, Wang Qiong and others for the new king, and he had to stay in the middle.

Since Yang Tinghe had already torn face with Wang Qiong in front of the new king, he naturally stayed where he was.

With him leading the way, more and more people came out to stand in the middle.

Zhu Houcong even made people shout loudly outside the door to prevent the people behind from knowing what happened.

Now those who came to the middle and stood in front of Zhu Houcong were all people who were "incompatible" with Wang Qiong.

Zhu Houcong knew that there would be such a situation in the future no matter what, so it was better for him to force this situation out first.

Even if he opened the opening, he basically showed the attitude of criticism, exaggeration, and pragmatism in the court.

Even if he blamed Qi Zhiluan and Zhang Jiuxu, he shouldn't have launched a "big purge" at this time.

Even if Wang Qiong accused Yang Ting and Luo Zhi of being partisans, making friends for traitors, and fighting against dissidents.

Now, with Yang Tinghe standing up and loudly accusing Wang Qiong of the "crime" committed, there are still so many people who agree with Yang Tinghe, as if this is really a matter of fact, regardless of what Zhu Houcong said about the "incompatibility" mood.

Zhu Houcong felt relieved.

It's a good thing, the first time he faced such a situation was not because of a big ceremony, nor because of his heir issue.

In any case, it is also because of the authority of the prominent position in the court. This is indeed a major national event.

Zhu Houcong nodded: "I just want to ask: Whether Wang Qiong is guilty or not, it is a matter of the reign of the emperor. What crime is he guilty of, and he will be punished and sent to prison after I succeed to the throne?"

Yang Tinghe replied generously: "Now that the traitor has been imprisoned, although the remaining crimes are still there, Wang Qiong has lost his trust, so that he can be punished with the help of His Majesty's sages! To set things right and clarify the universe, this is the righteousness of the world. All the officials and the people are suffering. Wang Qiong has been waiting for a long time!"

Wang Qiong looked at them coldly.

If you don't co-author him, Wang Qiong, is it unsagely?
All they had to say was that Emperor Zhengde was stunned, and they didn't know how Emperor Zhengde, who was still lying in the banquet halls in the palace, felt.

"If the world returns to its heart, it's up to me to rule Wei Bin and Wang Qiong and the others?" Zhu Houcong smiled. He understood the threat hidden in Yang Tinghe's speech. In addition, I am the successor of the vassal king, so if I don’t intend to succeed to the Temple of Filial Piety, am I afraid that there will be danger from the side of the Qing emperor?”

"Does it mean that if they are dealt with, I will not pursue the title of emperor for my father, but the title of empress dowager for my biological mother, and my successors will be under the temple of filial piety, and the world will return?"

Yang Tinghe's complexion changed drastically, he never expected him to say these things so loudly and openly at the same time.

Sure enough, he took the initiative to raise this matter as soon as he ascended the throne, and clearly stated that he would not have an heir, and that he would pursue the title of Emperor Xingxian for King Xingxian and the title of Empress Dowager for Wangfei.

What Yang Tinghe didn't expect the most was that he actually grasped the word "the world returns to his heart", which connected the two things together, and used it to accuse Yang Ting and their intentions, and it seemed natural for the emperor to associate this way.

At this time, it was the first time that many people clearly heard these details about the emperor's succession and the emperor's clear attitude.

They were a little confused for a while, some thought of the ancestral system, some were looking at Yang Tinghe's attitude, and some began to think deeply about His Majesty's intention to link these two things together.

Could it be that His Majesty wants to exchange these two things?

Wang Qiong's face turned pale suddenly, but Yan Song, Xia Yan and others in the crowd were all shocked.

Could it be that there will still be a big purge, but the focus will not be on past sins, but on current attitudes?

So at present, how can the attitude of the ministers compare with the ministers who supported His Majesty?

Yang Tinghe's attitude turned out to be against His Majesty's succession!

Wang Qiong knew how much power they had to speak, did he want to unequivocally agree with His Majesty at this time, and order His Majesty to get rid of Yang Ting and them all in one go?
This is impossible, and Wang Qiong just didn't want the cabinet to completely ride on the head of the six departments. He never expected to bring down Yang Tinghe.

That being the case, wouldn't he become a sacrifice for His Majesty to obtain their complete approval of their attitude towards succession?
Zhu Houcong wanted the atmosphere to come.

Yang Yiqing and Fei Hong are still in court, and Wang Shouren will also enter Beijing. Aren't they guessing whether the emperor will make major adjustments to the cabinet?
You, Yang Tinghe, are under a lot of pressure, but don't think about using big rituals as bargaining chips all the time.

Zhu Houcong is going to have Yang Ting and these people give a clear attitude in front of all the officials at the first court meeting today, and don't talk about it in the future.

He is not that young Jiajing, he knows that in front of the imperial power of himself who has succeeded to the throne, this problem can already rise to another dimension.

Allegiance, or treason?

Yang Tinghe, Mao Cheng and others want to use it as a bargaining chip for the issue of succession from time to time, and they have to stop here today.

The problems reflected in those backlogs of memorials were all summed up by him as mutual criticism, and the clever Wang Qiong really put forward the accusation of being partisan and attacking dissidents.

If it is partisan struggle, can it still be pure?Don't ask about facts and right and wrong, but only ask about positions, this is partisan struggle.

In this deathly silence, Yang Tinghe said angrily: "Your Majesty's Yuji has only been five days ago, why do you confuse these two matters?"

"You also know that Zhen Yuji is only five days old?" Zhu Houcong sneered, "How much do I know about officials now, you want me to deal with so many important officials in one go. Guilty or innocent, virtuous or not, wait for others They have all resigned, sent to prison, one radish and one hole, and a group of people have been recommended and appointed a long time ago, so what if the resigned person has a grievance?"

He raised the volume and said loudly: "This kind of outrageous criticism shouldn't have happened right now! If you are truly loyal to the country, you should be patient at this time of the new and the old, and wait for me to understand the talents and character of the officials! I will succeed to the throne." In the past, all the treacherous villains you mentioned lived in the temple. Is Daming finished? Now that I have succeeded to the throne, I can’t wait for a moment. If I don’t get rid of them, the world will not return. Is Daming going to die soon?”

The emperor's question echoed inside and outside the Xijiao Gate, followed by a sentence that made everyone terrified: "It is said that the new official takes office three fires, and I haven't even started yet. You should first light a fire for me to see. Why, Do you want to force the palace?"
