Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 57
Zhang Wenda, the imperial censor of Zuodu, was dismissed from his post and seized his status. Xunwei came forward to arrest him and move him to prison. The remaining people who gathered at Meridian Gate to die for admonishment were all punished with thirty sticks, dismissed from office, and later arrested and moved to prison.

The news about this matter spread quickly in Yousi. Behavior like Xinjun rarely happened in the Ming Dynasty, so many people were shocked when they heard about it.

The first assistant of the cabinet, Fang Congzhe, the second assistant, Liu Yishui, and the group assistant, Han Xu, had different expressions and hurried towards the Qianqing Palace.

Even though Fang Congzhe is old, his back is no longer hunched, his waist is no longer bent, and there is wind under his feet when he walks. If other courtiers see him, they will be shocked and say "Yuan Fu is awesome."

Qianqing Palace, Dongnuan Pavilion.

The atmosphere is dignified and depressing.

"Go slowly, gentlemen."

Wang Tigan, who was wearing a big red python robe, was standing outside the Dongnuan Pavilion. Seeing a few people rushing over, he stepped forward to block the way, "The emperor is in a bad mood. I hope I can think about something before I arrive at the imperial court."

Fang Congzhe didn't have any special reaction when Wang Tigan said this, but Liu Yixiu and Han Yu were different, they thought more.

In the eyes of Liu Yixiu and Han Yu, the recent changes of the new monarch are due to the bewitching of the eunuchs and eunuchs around him. When admonishing, the attitude is so strong and domineering.

This is not a good phenomenon.

Wei Zhongxian, Wang Tiqian, and Li Yongzhen, the group of eunuchs, have had a lot of trouble after they were promoted. Apart from the investigation of the Huangzhuang Huangdian, recently there seems to be a As a sign of the change, the emperor relies so heavily on the eunuchs around him. For the ruling civil servants, no matter which party or faction they are, they have more or less ideas.

"Chen...Fang Congzhe, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"minister……"

Inside the Dongnuan Pavilion, there were salutes from several people. Zhu Youxiao leaned on the cushion, sat on the throne, looked at the people bowing and saluting, and didn't say anything, and didn't let them get up.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Fang Congzhe, Liu Yixiu, and Han Yu endured the soreness that hit them. Although they had many thoughts in their hearts, they didn't do anything else.

"Fang Qing, I want to ask you, what exactly does Gu Ming do?"

Zhu Youxiao leaned forward, picked up the teacup in hand, took a sip, and said leisurely: "Maybe I don't read too much? I think this job is to assist the emperor to govern the country, but in fact? It shouldn't be me. That's how you understand it, Fang Qing, please tell me what the chapter "Shang Shu·Gu Ming" means."

"Chen~"

Fang Congzhe could feel the anger of the new king.

"Your Majesty, the word Gu Ming..."

While Fang Congzhe was pondering and thinking about how to answer, Han Yu bowed his head and bowed to the emperor, ready to say something in order to take this opportunity to remonstrate.

"Han Qing is so powerful!"

Zhu Youxiao paused the teacup in his hand, and said coldly, "I'm asking Fang Qing, why Han Qing is so eager? Is the chief minister of the cabinet just a decoration? Or is what I said just a decoration!!"

"Your Majesty! I definitely don't have such thoughts."

Han Xu's heart tightened. He had to explain such heart-wrenching words, "I have a little knowledge of "Shang Shu". I first heard about your majesty's inquiry..."

"Then all your books have been read into the dog's stomach."

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, "Does the sage's classics make you feel inferior? Do you want to disobey the rules? Do you want to make you fearless?"

Han Xu broke into a cold sweat.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Han Ge has no such intentions." Seeing the Son of Heaven speak like this, Liu Yixiu couldn't stand still, and hurriedly stepped forward to explain: "Mr. Han Ge just..."

"What is it!"

Zhu Youxiao interrupted: "You think you are one of the emperor's appointed ministers, so you can criticize me at will? You think I am still young, so you can't take charge of the government too early?"

The longer he sat on the throne of the emperor and the more truths he learned and mastered, the more Zhu Youxiao couldn't suppress his anger. Really, it was so bad! !
Looking around, Zhu Youxiao found that there are many people fighting for power and profit, many people fighting for profit, and many bullying people, but very few people really want to do something.

Just to check the Huangzhuang Huangdian, how long did it start? Pull out the radish and bring out the mud, implicate local corrupt officials, evil gentry and profiteers, Zhu Youxiao wants to take them out of their nests, and order the factory guard to supervise the matter , Zhu Youxiao didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.

But what about the group of civil servants in the outer dynasty?
Little thoughts are flying all over the place.

It was a simple matter, but they had figured out all kinds of tricks.

QNMD!
"I have summoned you to come to the imperial court to tell you clearly that I have decided on Zhang Wenda's official position and also on his fame!"

Zhu Youxiao calmed down, glanced at Fang Congzhe and the others, and said in a sonorous tone: "As the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, has he fulfilled his duties?

I inspected the Huangzhuang Huangdian and found so many rats in the place. He knew this and thought about how to give me some good advice. He tried to arrest all those monsters and monsters who oppressed the people and extorted money.

However, a group of speech officials and censors came to the Meridian Gate to remonstrate to death. This is not a remonstrance, it is clearly a demonstration to me!
Show him the prestige of life!
It is said that I rely heavily on factory guards, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Division of the Outer Dynasty, who took responsibility as soon as possible?Where are all the eyes staring at?All eyes are on me!
how?Are the Imperial Procuratorate and the Six Section Officials established by the dynasty just to keep an eye on the emperor?To use this to gain reputation and gain fame is really the most ridiculous thing in the world. "

At this step, it is impossible for Zhu Youxiao to retreat.

If you retreat, you will plummet a thousand miles.

The struggle between imperial power and ministerial power is such a reality.

As the emperor of Ming Dynasty, if facing some pressure, he loses his courage and fears being criticized, then don't let the people around him feel at ease.

Zhu Youxiao didn't care about the reputation.

How about being scolded as a faint king?

How about being called a tyrant?

What kind of person are you, why do you ask others to define you?

What qualifications do they have! ?

"Since the investigation of the Huangzhuang Huangdian has involved the local government, I have decided to set up a special investigation factory in the inner court."

Zhu Youxiao leaned on the cushion and looked at Fang Congzhe and the others, "Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of the ceremony, and Luo Sigong, the Jinyi guard, will investigate and arrest those involved. Arrested to the West Anti-Corruption Factory, from now on, the West Anti-Corruption Factory will only investigate corruption!!"

Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, and Han Xu were all shocked.

This is going to change.

The East Police Department hasn't restrained him yet.

Now there is another West Police Department.

And according to the new king's wishes, the West Police Factory specializes in investigating corruption, which is completely different from the previous one. If this is the case, it will be difficult for the East and West factories to conflict.

Zhu Youxiao will not only not reduce the power of factory guards, but will also increase his holdings. This is an important tool to defend the imperial power. East Jishi Factory, Jinyiwei, and West Jishi Factory are just the beginning, and their functions will be gradually carried out. Adjustment, there will be other factories and other guards in the future!
