Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 49: Such care for life
Zhu Youxiao doesn't like the trend of using official clichés. He can express it clearly in just a few sentences, but he has to ramble in a verbose manner and use implicit metaphors to make people guess his true thoughts. However, Zhu Youxiao doesn't like it. But we also know that not everyone can change this phenomenon.

In the officialdom, the emphasis is on balance and stability, and the prevailing mainstream thought of "do more and make more mistakes, do less and make fewer mistakes, and do nothing is good". If someone is killed, then die. Anyway, the people who suffer are the low-level untouchables.

"Since the cabinet has no opinion, let's follow the system."

As Han Yan made his thoughts clear, Zhu Youxiao's expression showed no joy or sorrow, and he looked around at the officials in the hall, "Everyone knows the importance of this matter, and I don't want any mistakes in this matter, understand?" ?”

Xinjun agrees now?
Fang Congzhe, Liu Yixiu, Han Yu, and Zhou Jiamo, the orderly ministers, after listening to the emperor's words and instructions, showed different expressions, obviously different from what they thought.

Recalling those days in the past, the emperor's actions such as being arbitrary, blocking the way of speech, prospering the imperial staff, relying on factory guards, trusting the nobles, deciding three important cases alone, and opening edicts and prisons caused constant turmoil between the government and the public, especially that one After the great court meeting, the emperor never held another regular court meeting, which inevitably made some people think about it.

"Since the matter of the posthumous title and the temple title has been initially decided, what can be discussed about the memoirs of the two dynasties that I mentioned earlier, and the brief selection of a group of imperial officials?"

Looking at the ministers with different expressions, Zhu Youxiao leaned on the cushion again, and said calmly: "Could it be that the cabinet will have to wrangle for a long time before it can finally be clarified?"

"Your Majesty, this wind cannot be encouraged!"

When Fang Congzhe was about to come forward to tell the truth, Han Yu looked serious and tried to persuade him: "The Imperial Academy is no different from other places in the country. There are fixed numbers of officials to be promoted. If you do it rashly and disregard the patriarchal etiquette, then it will be inevitable." It will cause chaos in the place, and when everyone wants to rely on luck to make progress, who is willing to do things for the people?"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

"My minister agrees!"

Liu Yishui, the second assistant to the cabinet, Zhou Jiamo, the official minister, Zhang Wenda, the imperial censor of Zuodu, and Yang Lian all came forward to bow to each other. They refused to give in on issues of principle.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Youxiao really wanted to laugh. If everyone really followed what Han Yu said, how could a large number of Donglin Party members be reused and revived during the short Taichang Dynasty? ?
There were not even pre-employment interviews or reviews, and a large number of opposition Donglin Party members were promoted to high positions one by one just relying on their so-called reputation and recommendations.

In terms of double standards, Zhu Youxiao admires the Donglin Party very much.

Of course, the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang parties and other factions are also all the same.

In politics, one seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. Whether it is the rules or the system, it is too easy to explain what is good for oneself, and it is too easy to explain what is not good for oneself.

"It's just ridiculous."

Sun Ruyou, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, snorted coldly, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I feel that this matter should be done. The current order of the country is stable, and Your Majesty is the emperor. I will compile the records of the two dynasties early in the morning to reassure the people of the world. However, this matter is involved. So many, just by…”

"What's the meaning of Uncle Da Zong?"

Zhang Wenda, the censor of Zuodu, narrowed his eyes and said: "Is there no good people to choose from in the country? Your Majesty has just ascended to the throne, and you still don't understand many things..."

There was a quarrel.

Zhu Youxiao leaned on the cushion and watched the scene in front of him quietly. On the eve of the death of the Daxing Emperor Zhu Changluo, the Donglin Party accounted for too much of the group of ministers appointed by the Daxing Emperor Zhu Changluo, which also led to no checks and balances among them. Once the matter is arguing, it will form the current dispute situation.

Fang Congzhe is still old, and his position as the chief assistant of the cabinet is not enough to deter foreign court officials.

When seeing Fang Congzhe's statement, it also caused a lot of opposition, especially what Yang Lian said made Fang Congzhe blush, and Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly.

Wanting to change a person is by no means as simple as talking about it.

"enough!!"

When the scene showed signs of getting out of control, Zhu Youxiao's indifferent voice sounded, "You are all important ministers in the court, and you are all appointed by the emperor to take care of your life. What do you look like in front of the emperor? If this matter is spread, how will the world think about it? Is this the brachial thigh of Tianqi Dynasty?!"

Zhu Youxiao first mentioned the Tianqi Dynasty, which made some people nervous. Although Zhu Youxiao had already set the new year name after he ascended the throne, Emperor Taichang passed away too suddenly, which made embarrassing things happen. This also led to the 48th year of Wanli. , was divided into two parts, and the title of the first year of Taichang is still used nowadays.

"Since there are so many disputes, let's go back and continue the discussion."

Zhu Youxiao said resolutely: "The compilation of the real records of the two dynasties is an important matter of the dynasties. I will never allow any mistakes to carry out this matter. Fang Qing, you are the chief assistant of the cabinet, and this matter is up to you." Continue to be responsible, when the discussion is clear and an agreement can be reached, then tell me!"

"The minister obeys the order."

Fang Congzhe, who was in a bad mood, bowed to the emperor, but this kind of thing was definitely not what Liu Yixiu and Han Yu wanted to see.

"Your Majesty, I have the original play."

Zhang Wenda stepped forward, made a salute and said, "Your Majesty ascends the throne, you should set an example by self-restraint, instead of staying in the inner court for a long time, the constant court is..."

It's not over.

Zhu Youxiao frowned and stared at Zhang Wenda who was chattering away. Chang Chao wanted him to be open every day, and all his precious time was wasted.

The regular dynasties of the Ming Dynasty included not only morning dynasties, but also afternoon dynasties and even evening dynasties. If you devote all your time to this, how can you do anything else?

Zhu Youxiao knows better than anyone else why the civil servants are clinging to this matter, they just want to see the emperor, so they can figure out what happens to them.

Right now, the inner court has been rectified by Zhu Youxiao, and the guards of Miyagi and Imperial City have been integrated. It is impossible for anyone to know what happened in the inner court.

The blood of the eunuchs and eunuchs like Wang An was not shed in vain!

"Zhang Wenda, I want to ask you."

Zhu Youxiao's expression froze, and he said in a cold voice: "You, the Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, did you do it for me? If I don't convene the morning court, you don't know how to do things?

If that's the case, please resign in the morning!
You go to Shu, I agree.

I have been in the Qianqing Palace these days, and I dare not slack off in the slightest every day. I am familiar with the government and understand the national conditions. Why do you, Zhang Wenda, become lazy and stupid? "

"minister……"

Zhang Wenda's heart tightened, and he knelt down on the ground. The emperor rarely called him by his first name, which made Zhang Wenda clearly know that the emperor was angry.

He even told Shangshu about his resignation.

Zhang Wenda said these words because he wanted to set an example and to save Hui Shiyang, but things obviously did not go as he thought.
