Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 724: All parties move (1)

That night.

Many people are bound to be sleepless inside and outside the capital.

Under the twinkling stars, the Qian Mansion was brightly lit and noisy. The atmosphere was extremely depressing, and everyone in the Qian Mansion could feel that a storm was about to come.

living room.

"Lord Qian, please say something. Your Majesty is so arbitrary. He has approved the unification of the imperial court and the imperial court, set up a special procuratorate, and returned the imperial court to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He has also returned major projects to the procuratorate. What is going on? Isn't the ancestral system and etiquette of the Ming Dynasty meaningless?"

"Yes! Li Qiyuan, this treacherous and evil minister, wants to destroy the Ming Dynasty. If this matter is left unresolved, the country will surely be in chaos!"

"Shou Zhigong, is the cabinet just going to ignore it? The six departments have been merged into the Censorate. Who will advise the emperor in the future? If the emperor does something perverse and there are no ministers to advise him, is this good or bad for the court, the country, and the world?"

"The imperial examination is the foundation of our dynasty. It is to examine the officials in the capital, to eliminate the treacherous officials in the court, and to remove those who are inactive. Now the emperor has returned the imperial examination to the Censorate alone. Isn't that a loss of checks and balances?"

"Humph, a treacherous and evil minister like Li Qiyuan will definitely use the privilege of the Imperial Censorate to suppress the government. In this way, won't the Censorate be above the officials? It will even ignore the Cabinet?"

The reception room was packed with people, with a large number of Donglin Party members gathered here. What happened outside the Qianqing Palace today spread like wildfire, making many people unable to sit still.

The emperor issued an imperial decree and directly decided on many things.

This caused a lot of dissatisfaction and criticism.

If it were in the past, many people would have submitted petitions to resign at this time, standing on the moral high ground of caring about the country and the people, and launched a counterattack against the emperor, forcing him to revoke his decision.

But no one dared to do this in the Tianqi Dynasty.

Because the emperor really dared to approve it.

Whoever submits a petition to resign will be fired.

Although this was not stated explicitly, the emperor did just that.

Do those officials who want to submit a petition to resign really want to resign? No! The vast majority of them want to do so to gain fame and further their careers.

No one would give up the power in their hands easily?

Only when you have power can you carry out orders; without power, you are nothing.

Officialdom is so cruel and realistic.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao had already made his decision on this matter when he ascended the throne. Anyone who dared to submit a petition to resign would be fired immediately.

At first, some people didn't believe it and insisted on testing the law themselves.

The results of it.

Really get out.

Some people were even arrested.

Violating the laws of the Ming Dynasty, committing corruption for personal gain, taking bribes and bending the law, forming a clique for personal gain... Who else should we arrest if we don't arrest you? Who else should we kill if we don't kill you? Who else should we plunder if we don't plunder you?
Officials in the Ming Dynasty wanted to be promoted in droves, but Zhu Youxiao could not tolerate this bad habit. Anyone who wanted to play tricks on him would be hitting a wall.

This person must not develop bad habits, otherwise he will become too arrogant.

"Are you done?"

In the chaotic environment, Qian Qianyi, who had not said a word, frowned and glanced at everyone in the hall, and said in a very soft voice. These words made everyone in the hall stop.

"That's the situation right now."

Facing countless gazes, Qian Qianyi tried to calm down, "If anyone is dissatisfied, go to the Meridian Gate and kneel down to the emperor to make a complaint."

"I have said and done everything I should have said and done, but the emperor is arbitrary and won't listen. What do you want me to do?" "Shou Zhigong, is this the end of the matter?"

Zou Yuanbiao frowned, suppressed his dissatisfaction, stared at Qian Qianyi and said, "Could it be that the ancestral etiquette of our dynasty is really meaningless?"

"What else?"

Qian Qianyi asked in return: "This year's New Year's Day holiday is much longer than in previous years. Just after the holiday ended, a joint execution took place in Beijing. How many people were killed!"

"The counterfeit currency case supervised by the detective team and other officials, from its appearance to its arrest and execution, there were many rumors before and after, but the officials in the court were completely unaware of it. Do you know what this means?"

"And Li Qiyuan's integration of science and Taoism, which didn't appear earlier or later, but appeared right after the joint execution. Do you think all this is a coincidence?"

Everyone was silent.

Who among those who can serve as an official in the central government is a fool?

They knew the whole story very well.

"What about the Jingcha?"

Someone in the hall said unwillingly, "Are you giving up just like that? If that's the case, then wouldn't all our efforts have been in vain?"

"give up?"

Qian Qianyi looked at the man with a half-smile, and said, "Your Majesty's decree has been issued, but everyone should not forget that Li Qiyuan's reputation has become a household name."

"Not to mention the six departments being integrated into the Censorate. Can this be done overnight? How many things are involved? If Li Qiyuan doesn't do a good job, will he have the nerve to continue to sit on the position of Left Censor-in-Chief, even if it is appointed by His Majesty?"

Ok?
When people heard this, some of their faces changed.

Yes.

The current situation is unfavorable, but some things, some matters, cannot be solved by a decree, and ultimately it requires talented people.

Especially those who work in the Censorate and the Six Departments, they all started to think about how to trip up Li Qiyuan! !
“And the procuratorate.”

In this atmosphere, Qian Qianyi stood up and glanced at everyone in the hall, "It is true that this department is specially set up and will occupy the six departments' direct office, but don't forget that up to now, the position of the procuratorate has not been determined. Who will be in charge of this department, supervise the local areas, and make major plans, these are still unclear."

"Also, you seem to have forgotten one thing, right? Are the local people willing to see this happen? Not to mention the governors of the northern provinces, what about the southeastern provinces? Is there anything else I need to elaborate on?"

Yup!

How could I forget this?

Some people's expressions became excited. These were clearly several things, but they had taken on all of them before. This would obviously involve more people.

As long as this situation can continue to ferment and get local governments involved, it would be even better if riots broke out in some places during this period.

"Okay, it's late, I won't see you off."

Seeing the different expressions of the people in the hall, Qian Qianyi smiled and said calmly: "Tomorrow, there are still many things to do, so I will take my leave first."

When he came to this point, Qian Qianyi raised his hand in salute, then turned and walked towards the back hall.

"Farewell, Sir."

"Farewell, Mr. Qian."

Everyone in the hall stood up and raised their hands to return the greeting to Qian Qianyi. Qian Qianyi didn't care about these. At this moment, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The turmoil in front of him was temporarily suppressed. As for what would happen next, he could only take it one step at a time.
