Chapter 89: The custom of the court

I am the emperor, I have a two-day break for a week, isn’t it too much?

Zhu Youxiao returned to the Ganqing Palace from Concubine Wang Liang. Looking at the few memorials on the desk, he couldn't help but caress his forehead gently, but he still couldn't stop!

"Read it!" He waved his hand weakly, and Zhu Youxiao leaned against the chair, not in a good mood.

Liu Ruoyu had classified the memorials and pointed to several of them and asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, this is impeachment of the Minister of War Zhang Heming."

Zhu Youxiao pursed his lips, felt a little happy, and said, "Who are you? I'll report the name and I don't need to read the content."

In the Ming Dynasty, once a court official is impeached by a censor, regardless of the facts, he must first submit a memorial to resign. If the impeachment is inappropriate, then the emperor will comfort him.

Therefore, censors were able to impeach them arbitrarily to fulfill their personal gains, and court officials also accepted censors to attack their opponents.

Zhang Heming, the Minister of War, was in love with power, but someone impeached him, and not one or two, so he had to go through this procedure, which just happened to fulfill Zhu Youxiao's thoughts.

Liu Ruoyu looked through the report and reported: "The officials Liu Honghua, Hui Shiyang, Zhou Chaorui, Censor Jiang Bingqian, He Jianke, Xie Wenjin, and Zhou Jiamo, the former Minister of Personnel, who resigned from his post and returned home."

"What are all crimes!" Zhu Youxiao's fingers briskly hit the armrest of the chair, and his voice became clearer and clearer.

Liu Ruoyu was holding Zhou Jiamo's Chi Shu, and then he started to say, "Zhou Jiamo impeached Zhang Heming for the crime of injuring the country." After pausing, he reported one by one.

Zhu Youxiao raised his hand to stop Liu Ruoyu's report and said, "Di Baoming will be issued and submitted to the cabinet for discussion."

Liu Ruoyu responded and did everything as he did. He knew in his heart that the emperor would not give Zhang Heming any face at all. If Zhang Heming knew the opportunity to leave, he might be able to escape from his crime and retire. Otherwise...

With Wang Huazhen, the bragging king, it’s no problem to take Zhang Heming down, and I’m waiting for someone to impeach him! If there is no one, I’ll look for him.

The chief assistant Ye Xianggao is Wang Huazhen's master. He also tends to Wang Huazhen in the "disagreement of the classics" and has also failed to observe.

According to the court practice at that time, Ye Xianggao also wanted to submit a memorial and request dismissal. Zhu Youxiao followed the flow and was able to send another one away.

It's great, it's great. If you don't promote a prison or get a crime, we'll fight it. If you fight with the civil servant group and want to make conspiracies, that's all you'll bully you.

Zhu Youxiao was thinking about how to take down Zhao Nanxing and free up more places in the cabinet.

"Long live, the clerk Fu Han impeached Zhao Nanxing to "disorganize the old system and build private people"..."

Yes, I was about to attract a bean bag fell from the sky.

Zhu Youxiao was excited and did not listen to Liu Ruoyu's thoughts, so he waved his hand and said, "I will send the news from the palace to the cabinet for discussion."

Liu Ruoyu grinned secretly. The emperor's arrangement was equivalent to driving another one away.

That's right, this is the political tradition, or court practice at that time.

Once an official is impeached, there are two common practices: one is to submit a memorial to defend himself, and the other is to ask for a leave of absence.

If the emperor tends to be impeached officials at the beginning, he will often stay and not post them, that is, suppress the impeachment memorials; if the impeachment cannot be suppressed, the emperor will also comfort and try to keep the officials when they ask for leave.

Zhu Youxiao sent the impeachment memorial to the palace. Although he did not clearly express his tendency, it seemed to be a public opinion, it would also make people speculate that the emperor did not intend to protect Zhao Nanxing.

Next, more people will probably follow the trend and impeach. Who made Zhao Nanxing offend too many people?

In the 21st year of Wanli, Zhao Nanxing was appointed as the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel. When he participated in the Beijing Inspection for the first time, he made a harsh statement: "The inner inspection is a one-time six years, and gentlemen are tempted by evil people and villains to complain about their grievances, all at this time."

What does it mean? It's very simple. "Our Donglin Party has power, once every six years, it's really not easy. Hurry up, don't miss it, take revenge, get revenge, get revenge, and get revenge, and kill me."

This means that scholars must be more elegant. They obviously reject dissidents, but they still have the name of a gentleman and villain.

What kind of gentleman and villain, what kind of evil and use righteousness to remove evil and use righteousness, is that the party is the same and the other party is fighting against the differences.

No matter how capable you are, no matter how good your political achievements are, you will focus on judging good and evil based on your camp.

This kind of Beijing inspection of people and things is also a shameless failure to say that "the matter is beneficial to the country, that is, what should be done. People are in line with morality, that is, what should be done. There is no doubt that it is impossible to avoid."

That Beijing inspection was also regarded as a symbol of the rise of the Donglin Party, and since then the court struggles have never had any peace.

Now, thirty years have passed, and it is time to avenge others. Zhao Nanxing is still in charge of the Ministry of Personnel. Wouldn't he change the more he distinguishes between gentlemen and villains?

Zou Yuanbiao was impeached and asked to leave, which marked the beginning of the battle surrounding Beijing inspection. It was no surprise that Zhao Nanxing became the target of public criticism.

Historically, through the third year of Tianqi, the Donglin Party members, Zhao Nanxing and others eliminated all those who opposed them, even some of the moderate factions in the Donglin Party, and had a strong tendency to dominate the government.

Then it became simple. The officials who were excluded and attacked stood on a front and surrendered to Mr. Wei, forming a political group called the "eunuch party".

But Zhu Youxiao didn't have time to wait. Even though he would be more relaxed when the civil servant group split and it would be easier to pack up, he would not be criticized.

What's wrong with the foolish lord? After you die, where do you dig my grave? I am a materialist, I don't care if I burn it to ashes, I'm afraid of a ball!

What is this? Zhu Youxiao wanted to meet the official who was helping him in time. He looked at the memorial and frowned.

Kui is Kui, what does it mean to add the word "Mu" next to it? If Liu Ruoyu hadn't read it just now, I wouldn't have known it. Bad comments!

Zhu Youxiao put down his memorial and didn't have the nerve to ask Liu Ruoyu what this Mutoukui means.

Liu Ruoyu continued to recite the memorials to the emperor one by one. When he read the memorials of Li Zongyan, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhu Youxiao's face looked very ugly.

The Liao people migrated to the pass and settled the troops and paid the salary... There was a shortage in the finances, so Li Zongyan asked Zhu Youxiao to remove the treasury.

It’s not that I feel sorry for the money, well, it’s really painful. Zhu Youxiao thought about it over and over again and decided to plunder the treasury to rescue the emergency. But this is not a long-term solution. I saved it again and again, and when can I support it?

"Xuan Wei Zhongxian came to the palace to meet him." Zhu Youxiao calculated the time and made up his mind. He made a big move before the palace examination, got some money and spent money first, which also shocked the ministers in the court.

Liu Ruoyu picked up another memorial, and Zhu Youxiao was tilted in the chair, which was very boring.

"There is a vacant minister of the Tianjin Supervisor, and the cabinet court proposes that Zheng Sanjun, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, be appointed."

Zhu Youxiao thought about it and shook his head and said, "This is inappropriate. The governor of Tianjin, Bi Ziyan, has the ability to become economic, and he went to Bi Ziyan's right censor, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the deputy minister of the governor of the salary."
