My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 66 Fang Congzhe resigns

Among Nanhaizi, Zhu Youxiao looked at Fang Congzhe who was standing at the bottom with playful eyes.

"I have only been on the throne for more than a month. Fang Fu is going to leave me?"

"Your Majesty, I am old and frail, and I am no longer able to handle the affairs of the ministry. Moreover, after autumn, I occasionally catch wind and cold, which may interfere with state affairs and cause suffering to all the people in the world. Therefore, I hope that Your Majesty will take pity on me and allow me to retire and return to my hometown."

Fang Congzhe seemed to be about to snap, which made Zhu Youxiao's eyebrows twitch.

Do you have to pretend it looks like this?

If he remembered correctly, this guy probably left in the first year of Chongzhen.

The apocalypse in history has already happened, but Fang Congzhe has not yet.

"Fang Fu has been in power for seven years. Although he has no great achievements, he has no faults. He is also a veteran of three dynasties. I still hope to ask Fang Fu about state affairs."

"Besides, if I let Fang Fu leave like this, everyone in the world will probably say that I am beyond the reach of others."

"Your Majesty, I feel ashamed to have been a cabinet minister for seven years, but I have made no contribution to the court. The slave establishment in Liaodong is strong, and I have no strategy to quell the captives. The court is short of money and food, and I have no plan to expand sources."

"Before the death of the late emperor, he summoned all the talented people from all over the world to join the court. Some of them were famous all over the world, some were brave enough to give direct advice, or some were brilliant in literature. They were more than ten times more successful than the ministers. The ministers were not worthy of the throne."

Fang Congzhe said, taking off the black gauze hat on his head and placing it in front of him.

"Please resign from the position of chief minister of the cabinet."

"..."

Listening to Fang Congzhe's words, Zhu Youxiao felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the old man's words.

Is this a compliment?

"After Fang Fu leaves, who will be the chief minister of the cabinet?"

After hearing this, Fang Congzhe said immediately.

"Liu Yisui has long sleeves and is good at dancing. He can regulate the inside and outside, so that I, the Ming Dynasty, can unite and revitalize the world."

"Liu Yishen hires people without careful consideration. He has no ability to recognize people."

"Han Xu is a humble man, straightforward and trustworthy, and he can be the chief assistant."

"There is enough to defend the city, but not enough to make progress."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao shook his head.

"His talent is enough to govern a government, but he is incompetent to govern a country."

"This..."

Hearing the emperor's evaluation of Liu Yishui and Han Xu, Fang Congzhe was a little confused.

"Sun Chengzong has always been courageous and can be the first assistant."

"It's inappropriate to change orders in the morning and at night."

"What about Ye Xianggao, He Zongyan, Shen Huai, and Zhu Guozuo, who were appointed by the late emperor?"

"It doesn't matter whether people will come or not."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao shook his head.

"Your Majesty, if he refuses the edict, he can give it again."

"Humph, according to the example of Taizu killing Xia Boqi, he is not of use to me. I am showing mercy by not killing him."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly and said.

"If you give me another order, can't I find someone to serve as an official in the Ming Dynasty? Do I have to send people over and over again?"

"..."

Hearing the emperor's willful and murderous words, Fang Cong felt a little numb.

Why doesn't this little emperor have enough food and salt?

"Your Majesty does not want me to leave, and I am very grateful."

Knocking his head on the ground, Fang Cong's eyes were a little complicated.

"However, I have not yet recovered from my illness. Please ask for leave to recuperate. After I recover, I will serve your Majesty again."

"Forget it, for Fang Fu's hard work for the country, I will give you one month's sick leave."

This time Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything more and nodded.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After hearing this, Fang Congzhe immediately kowtowed.

Then he picked up his black gauze hat and put it on his head, took out a memorial from his sleeve, held it high and said.

"I originally wanted to return to my hometown, but Your Majesty is kind enough to keep me in Beijing. I have something to discuss now, and I hope Your Majesty will preview it."

"Oh? What's the matter?"

Instructing Liu Shimin to get the memorial, Zhu Youxiao asked.

"I request your Majesty to reinstate Zhang Taiyue to his official position."

"Zhang Juzheng."

Hearing Fang Congzhe's words, Zhu Youxiao's eyes flickered. "I vaguely remember that when the late emperor was in his dormitory, he praised Zhang Jiangling very highly, as if he was a wise minister in ancient times. However, the late emperor suddenly passed away, and I forgot about it."

"When Fang Fu mentioned it, I remembered that I had looked through the archives in the early years of Wanli and felt that he had contributed to the Ming Dynasty by carrying out reforms to strengthen the country under Mu Zong's orders."

"I only know that Zhang Jiangling was the master of Shenzong, but I don't know who deceived him and why his official position was reduced after his death."

"However, nearly 40 years have passed since what happened back then, and some things have long been unknown."

"Since Fang Fu has said this, I would like to ask Fang Fu to look it up and discuss it with the courtiers. I can't treat the ministers who have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty unfairly because of this outstanding achievement."

"This can be regarded as a pastime when Fang Fu is recuperating, how about it?"

"The minister leads the decree to thank you."

When Fang Congzhe heard Zhu Youxiao's words, he immediately kowtowed.

He understood what the emperor meant.

It is okay to vindicate Zhang Juzheng, reverse the verdict, and pursue his posthumous title.

But we must make a summary of Zhang Juzheng's achievements.

In addition, find someone to take the blame for Shenzong's liquidation of Zhang Juzheng.

After Fang Conzhe took the drafted imperial edict and left, Zhu Youxiao looked at his back in a daze.

What's wrong with Fang Congzhe? He's resigning at this time.

Without the historical palace transfer case, Donglin was not on the upper hand.

As for the Hongwan case, Cui Wensheng was killed as a member of Wang An's party.

Li Kezhuo Fang Congzhe drafted an imperial edict to commend him, and Zhu Youxiao also held his nose and recognized it.

As for the memorial to impeach Fang Congzhe for plotting to murder Guangzong, Zhu Youxiao chose not to publish it at all.

Damn it, the Red Pill case is not something that can be put on the table, let alone become a hot topic and have people all over the world discussing it.

Regardless of whether Guangzong died of diarrhea or took pills.

Are they all attempts to discredit the Ming Dynasty?

This matter must be dealt with coldly.

"Have you written down what you just said? Bring it to me for a look."

After thinking about it, he still felt that something was wrong with Fang Congzhe's visit today, so Zhu Youxiao asked the eunuch in charge of meeting minutes to bring over the record book.

After pondering over a cup of tea, Zhu Youxiao finally figured out something.

Being famous all over the world means that this person has great appeal.

Having the courage to rebuke directly means that this person is very skilled in writing letters and scolding others.

Excellent literary talent means that this person can do nothing but write articles.

Liu Yishen's long-sleeved skills mean that he has good relationships with many people, and in a more serious sense, they form cliques.

Han Xu's straightforwardness and trustworthiness originally meant that he was honest and honest, but at this time, he was actually saying that Han Xu was timid and afraid of getting into trouble.

"Cultivation is still not enough."

Throwing the notebook back to the little eunuch, Zhu Youxiao sighed.

At the same time, outside the old Yamen, Fang Congzhe got into the carriage that he came from, but Fang Congzhe looked constipated at this time.

The emperor agreed to resign, but not entirely.

He is currently on sick leave.

And he found another job for him.

Let’s summarize Zhang Juzheng.

To summarize a person, you must first find out what this person has done.

But what did Zhang Juzheng do?
political reform!

Listening to the sound of the wheels turning, Fang Congzhe finally made up his mind.

"We have to find a way to let Guan Yingzhen share some of the burden."

Otherwise, he will be in big trouble in the future.

Xia Boqi’s Finger Chopping Case:

After Zhu Yuanzhang came to power, there were two Confucian scholars named Xia Boqi, his uncle and nephew, in Guixi County, Guangxin Prefecture.

The two claimed to be Yuan Confucian scholars, so in order to prevent being recruited by the new dynasty, they both had their left thumb amputated to clarify their ambitions.

After Zhu Yuanzhang found out about the matter, with a small question mark on his forehead, he asked the Jin Yiwei to arrest the two people in Nanjing and try them in person.

The result of the interrogation was, "Bo Qi was angry and thought that my way of conquering the world was wrong. He will not use it for me now. He is a foreigner to his religion and not the people I have transformed."

The result of the treatment is: Xia Boqi's uncle and nephew are the first to have their own family, in order to stop the trend of imitating the mad man and the foolish man.

From then on, the scholar-bureaucrats were not used by the emperor, and their family origins were written down in the "Imperial Imperial Edict", which is also the Grand Edict of Taizu.
