Chapter 1186: Drastic Change


After a few days of fermentation, the matter in Yangzhou Mansion quickly spread to the capital, and there was naturally an uproar.

I don't know how many copies of the recital were sent to the celebrant supervisor, and all the details of Zhou Jinyao were turned out, like a whip corpse, and his body was completely scolded.

These did not resolve the hatred, and immediately dug out Zhou Jinyao's recommenders, and the ancestors of several generations were all changed, followed by attacks on the officials, and then the cabinet.

Although Zhu Xu has incorporated the Yanguan family into the Governorate in the name of various means and names, and controlled it to the death, but this time, it was not them who were impeached in the book, but some prefectures and counties, with a majority of the seventh to fifth grades, each of whom was born as a Jinshi.

On top of that, there's another force coming to the fore, and that's the members of the National Assembly.

These 'idle people' from the local area have accumulated a stomach full of dissatisfaction, as if they have found an outlet, using various connections to guide public opinion, and the goal is directly aimed at the cabinet, although they do not name Bi Ziyan, but they are also well known.

In the cabinet, Bi Ziyan's face was pale, and he dropped a favorite teacup, and the people outside were silent, and they had never seen Bi Ziyan so angry.

Sun Chuanting, Fu Changzong and the others were shocked, and a look of fear appeared in their eyes.

This reminded them of some things that they had almost forgotten, this overwhelming wave of attacks, just like the year when they were strict, backward, and high, and the recent Ye Xianggao, ** star and other bigwigs, almost all fell in this kind of attack wave.

No one can persist in such a 'people's heart', and there is almost no other way than to protect his life except for Mingzhe, who resigned!

It's not a good sign, it seems like something is back.

Sun Chengzong is over 70 years old, he is a person who has experienced the era of Zhang Juzheng, he deeply understands the horror of party struggle, whether it is Yan Song, Xu Jie, or Gao Gong, even if it is Zhang Juzheng, all of them have been in power for decades before they can control the world, but it is not that they will fall down, and they will not be able to die well after death.

This is an individual or a party, but it is unimaginable that it will be a drag on the country.

Xu Jie held Jiajing's edict in his hand, won the hearts of the people all over the world, and tried to set things right and vigorously reform all kinds of chaos in Jiajing, but he fell within a few years.

Gao Gong is also a capable person, but he struggled in the party struggle and did not end well in the end.

The big guy is gone, Zhang Juzheng has a good environment, inherited their reform ambition, and after his death, he was dug up and whipped his corpse, what a miserable end!

Among them, the biggest contributors are the Yanguan family represented by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Kedao, they have almost controlled the court situation since Chenghua, which bigwig does not dare to ignore, and it is the sharpest knife, invincible, invincible, even the emperor is afraid of three points.

Sun Chengzong was silent, he thought that Emperor Wanli had been hiding in the deep palace for more than 20 years, why not because of the encirclement and interception of the Yanguan, even if the last wish, King Lifu was the crown prince and folded in the pen of the Yanguan.

Sun Chengzong looked up at Sun Chuanting and said lightly: "Can you shut up those parliamentarians?"

” Sun Chuanting frowned, and said with a condensation, "Our cabinet has a lot of policies that require the approval of these parliamentarians, and we can't put too much pressure on them, and these people are inextricably linked with Nanzhili, and it's not easy to want them to shut up." ” Since Zhang Juzheng, there has been no cabinet chief assistant who has been able to subdue the whole dynasty, and each of them has struggled to maintain it, without enough prestige, and the same is true for Bi Ziyan, who lacks prestige and cannot suppress the situation.

"Yangzhou Mansion, how long will it take to solve the case?"

Fu Changzong asked.

In the final analysis, this matter is caused by the case, as long as the case is solved, it will be a salary from the bottom of the kettle, and other things can be dealt with calmly.

King Jing shook his head and said, "You have all read the report of the Governor's Court of Governorship in this case, this matter is not so simple, and solving the case is not a matter of a while." ” Sun Chengzong's face was indifferent, and he said in a deep voice: "It's okay to say outside, you can always press it down, and it will not hinder the overall situation, the key is the parliament, if they continue to make trouble, it will only get bigger and bigger, and it will be difficult to clean up later, I think, I still have to ask the emperor to say something." ” In the entire Ming Dynasty, the only one who can shut up everyone is His Majesty the Emperor, Zhu Xu, who is now accompanying the queen in Yunwu Mountain.

Everyone understands that there are many people inside and outside the government and the opposition who are dissatisfied with the 'New Deal', and if they attack the cabinet in substance under the banner of severely punishing the Yangzhou government, and the noise is huge, they really have to make an explanation, and Bi Ziyan Zhishi seems to be right in front of them.

What a skillful number of paths, what a familiar result.

Fu Changzong thought for a while, turned to Sun Chuanting and said: "Bai Gu, you have to go to Yunwu Mountain for this matter, the emperor doesn't know when he will come back, but the parliament must be stopped, they can't become new officials, otherwise the 'New Deal' will definitely collapse halfway." ” Sun Chuanting understood the seriousness of the matter, nodded and got up and said, "Okay, I'll go now, Bi Ge Lao will be appeased over there, don't let him make mistakes, be extra cautious at this time." ” According to the usual practice, with such a big wave of impeachment, the impeached person will either write a letter to defend himself, or take the initiative to 'lead the sick home', no matter which one it is, it will be the beginning of returning to his hometown, and he must not do it.

Sun Chengzong and the others nodded and said, "The emperor has not really experienced party disputes, Bai Gu, when you say it, you must let the emperor understand the seriousness of this matter." ” The National Assembly is a special structure, holding the power to review and approve the affairs of the cabinet, which is more terrifying than the previous six departments to refute the holy decree, if they become another branch and become officials, it will be even more terrifying, and it makes people shudder to think about it.

Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "Well, I understand, I'll go now."

I will say more, what the court needs to do now is to unite and forbear, and must not say more or take one more step, otherwise it will be the truth of others, and it will be more difficult for me to have a place to move. ” Sun Chengzong and others nodded silently, this incident caught them off guard, so that the entire Ming Dynasty's 'New Deal' was suspended, and everyone in the world was watching the actions of the imperial court, they could only brake with static at this time, if it was strongly pressed, it would lose the legitimacy of the 'New Deal', and the consequences would be disastrous.

The 'New Deal' must be completely correct, unique, and irrefutable.

Don't say that you have lost your legitimacy, even if you can't have an argument, otherwise you will fall into the quagmire of argument and it will be difficult to get out.

Sun Chengzong and the others nodded and watched Sun Chuanting leave the palace.

When Sun Chuanting left, Sun Chengzong turned his head to look at King Jing and said, "Over there, there is still something to be done in the Governor's Yuan." ” With the actions of the first half of the year, the sense of existence of the Governorate has gradually become prominent, the power is constantly deepening the operation, the influence on the local area is increasing, and King Jing is becoming more and more majestic. ” Sun Chengzong nodded, and then looked back at Bi Ziyan's class room, where it was quiet, revealing the cold and cold air that no one should enter.

Sun Chengzong sighed in his heart, he was helpless about this matter.

The party struggle in the Ming Dynasty has a profound background and cannot be resolved overnight.

Wang Xue is a breakthrough in Confucianism, since Jiajing has been popular, the world is not Wang Mingyang's disciples, various schools of thought rose one after another, fought endlessly, and then spread to the imperial court, it can be said that the beginning of the party struggle, is the debate of learning, Xu Jie, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, including Ye Xianggao behind, ** Xing, are all scholars, write books and speak, and then want to implement their concept of governance.

'No wonder the emperor would say such a cruel thing as changing his mind first and then changing people, and changing his head if he doesn't change his mind......

Sun Chengzong's expression was silent, and he sighed lightly in his heart, he knew that Zhu Xu had seen farther than them, and he had been preparing early.

Whether it is the Strategy Department, or the Qingfeng Division, or the Fourth or Fifth Palace, the syllabus, etc., it is all to wash away the decadence of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, the councillors on the second floor are now inexplicably excited, running and cheering.

"Brother Chen, your sentence 'The ministers of the outer court, the tigers and wolves take care of it, and they are in collusion, like black ink', is really good!"

"I still like Brother Li's sentence 'State affairs are like thick, foreign ministers are like sugar, state affairs are like soup, foreign ministers are like spoons, national affairs are difficult, foreign ministers are lucky', it is really meaningful ......and endless."

"Haha, it's easy to say, polite.

By the way, I wrote to me in the same year as Yingtian, saying that the envoys were mostly enjoying themselves in the government and staying at home, and I haven't checked the reason so far......"

"As soon as I heard about it, the entire Jiangzuo was boiling, but the official government, the envoy was indifferent, drunk and dreamed all day long, and it was useless at all, what is the use of the imperial court raising these people......"

"The upper and lower effects, the lower fault lies in the top, if the court remains unchanged, how to change those people outside, we still work hard, colleagues, we must not relax!"

"Yes, many people from Shandong have written to me, and more than 30 of them plan to jointly play a joint report to thoroughly investigate this matter and never let go of the weak, so as to prevent this kind of thing from happening again!"

"Okay, there are more than 20 in Shanxi, I have asked them to send the recital book over, two days later, they will be sent to the master of ceremonies together, the emperor will return to Beijing in a short time, I will see how long the cabinet can press!"

"The piles of scripts, even if the emperor protects them, they have to show something, and when the time comes, if we work a little harder, there will be great changes in the six cabinets!"

Now the relationship between the cabinet and the six ministries is very complicated, no matter which one moves, it will absolutely shock the entire officialdom, this is a multi-bony card, if you push down one, you will fall a lot one after another, and no one can stop it.

Yunwu Mountain is just outside the capital, not too far, Sun Chuanting arrived and talked a lot to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu had already heard something, but from Sun Chuanting's mouth, it seemed that things were something else.

Zhu Xu sat on the chair, looked at Sun Chuanting, and said, "Is it really so serious?"

” Sun Chuanting also had ups and downs in the Tianqi Dynasty, and he knew the horror of the party struggle, so he said with a solemn face: "The minister did not add oil and vinegar, according to the truth."

Gao Xinzheng was determined to reform back then, but in the seventh or eighth year of the dynasty, the cabinet was arguing, and what could have been done in one day was okay if it dragged on for ten days and a half months, quarreling in the cabinet, quarreling in the court meeting, the court was quarrelling, the local government was also quarrelling, and the state affairs were decadent, starting from this.

The National Assembly is extraordinary, and if they become new officials, and the cabinet and the six ministries are counteracted, the consequences will be unimaginable, and if there are more ambitious people who want to push the flames and seek high positions, the good situation that the emperor has worked hard for many years will be ......wiped out."

Sun Chuanting was extremely serious.

Gao Xinzheng, also known as Gao Gong, has laid an excellent foundation for Zhang Juzheng's reform and is a very capable first assistant.

Zhu Xu has read the history books of the Ming Dynasty and all kinds of records more than once, and naturally knows that the first assistants since Jiajing listened to Sun Chuanting's words with a calm expression.

On this matter, he and Sun Chuanting actually have completely different views.

In his opinion, the parliament has not yet understood its own powers, what it should do, how to operate, and it wants to show its presence when it has the opportunity, and in addition, it has been 'oppressed' by the cabinet for a long time, accumulating resentment.

However, Sun Chuanting does not think so, the national parliament has the right to review and approve the policies and decrees of the cabinet, and if this institution and the cabinet are on the same page, the consequences will be too terrible.

If they become speech officials and lead the world in the direction of the corporal forest, then who else is their opponent?

If someone has a heart to use and control it, its power can instantly surpass that of the first assistant, or even the prime minister, and threaten the society!

The Cabinet, or the civil service, would never allow such a situation to occur.

Zhu Xu thought in his heart, waited for Sun Chuanting's voice to fall, bowed his head slightly, and said, "I understand what you mean, do you want me to suppress those parliamentarians and not allow them to write a letter of impeachment?"

” Sun Chuanting looked at Zhu Xu and said solemnly: "Yes."

This matter is ostensibly the case of Yangzhou Mansion, but in fact it is aimed at the 'New Deal', the 'New Deal' started from scratch, and it was all done by Bi Ge Lao himself, if he leaves, no one can shoulder the big responsibility, and the 'New Deal' is likely to die halfway. ” Zhu Xu picked up the tea beside him and pondered.

His aim is to establish a perfect, modern, and advanced system, which already has a model, but it is too advanced, and it is something that he has forced out, and now he can understand and understand very few of its mode of operation, and what he can do is to maintain this system, let it slowly mature, walk ahead of the world, and ensure its advanced nature.

Sun Chuanting saw Zhu Xu groaning, and he was quite apprehensive.

He studied the functions of the national parliament, which he saw as a combination of the council and the speaker, in order to prevent the cabinet from becoming large and at the same time to ensure the supremacy of the imperial power.

No matter how the cabinet and the national parliament fight, the referee is the emperor, which should be a means deliberately created by the parties of all dynasties to make the rulers afraid.

Similarly, for the emperor, the struggle between the national parliament and the cabinet had no effect on him and should not take sides.

Therefore, although Sun Chuanting has been specific enough, he is still worried.

Zhu Xu didn't let him wait long, the tea lid in his hand fumbled for water, and after a while, he said: "I asked the celebrant to pass on the decree and tell these parliamentarians that they have no right to impeach......"

Sun Chuanting was overjoyed, but Zhu Xu's words made his expression change; "But the National Assembly has the power to supervise, and it has the power to ask the Cabinet or the six specific officials of the six ministries to explain and explain matters that are in doubt, and to record them in the case and report them to the public.

In addition, after three years, the National Assembly will be further expanded, with a number of about 15 members, and the general meeting held every four years will have to vote of confidence in the heads of the cabinet and the six ministries......

Sun Chuanting listened, his face gradually became solemn, and when Zhu Xu finished speaking, he thought about it carefully, deliberated, and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I don't know who is in charge of the parliament?"

” The corners of Zhu Xu's mouth moved slightly, Sun Chuanting was smart, and immediately grasped the core of this matter.

Zhu Xu deliberately paused for a moment, and said, "For the election of parliamentarians, the cabinet must carefully draw up a detailed charter, and one-third of it will be re-elected every three years, and it can be re-elected once. ” Sun Chuanting listened to Zhu Xu's words and pondered carefully.

The current election of parliamentarians is to nominate three people from each province, which is basically controlled by the governor's yamen, and the process is still simple and crude, and there are no rules.

Re-election, this is irrelevant.

The first four auxiliary ministers are the left and right auxiliary ministers, the third governor of the palace Jingwang, and the fourth Dali Temple Wang Qiaonian, these four positions are customized, and the fifth is random.

After thinking about it, Sun Chuanting breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "Yes, the minister understands." ” Zhu Xu knew that he still had to teach the rules of the game slowly, but he was not in a hurry, took a sip of tea, and said: "The queen has just given birth to a prince, her body is weak, and she can't return to the palace in time. ” "Obey."

Sun Chuanting got up and raised his hand.

Zhu Xu sent Sun Chuanting out of the courtyard, watched him go down the mountain, stood in place, blowing the wind, and did not move in a hurry.

At this time, Xiao Yongning walked over, holding a wicker in his hand, pouting boredly, and said, "Uncle Huang, can't the time of the big hunt be longer?"

” Zhu Xu glanced at her and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

The hunt is ten days, it has ended, no accident, Li Dingguo won the first, and immediately requested, hoping to follow Cao Wenzhao's royal first army to go out and quell chaos everywhere.

Sun Chengzong has already been approved, and Li Dingguo has already set off yesterday.

Zhu Xu couldn't tell if the little girl was just in love, or just thought that Li Dingguo was a good playmate, so he didn't interfere too much.

The little girl saw that Zhu Xu ignored her, and turned around sullenly.

After a while, Cao Huachun stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the letter from Jinyiwei has not found anything abnormal, Luo Yangxing's whereabouts are a mystery, Jiang Feijun said that he is still investigating, Zhu Zonghan is in Gansu Town, and he is presiding over the strategic plan for the tribes in Moxi." ” Zhu Xu put his hands behind his back, his eyes flashed, and said, "Well, find a time and let Jiang Feijun come to see me alone." ” Cao Huachun's face was expressionless, and he said, "Obey." ” Zhu Xu's will soon reached the national parliament, and these parliamentarians were shocked at first, they lost the right to write a letter of impeachment, wouldn't they want to become dumb people with open mouths?

But when they heard that they could ask the cabinet and the adults of the six ministries to come up and question them personally, they were ecstatic.

Where is the truth of impeachment in person, if they force Bi Ge Lao or anyone to be speechless in person, they will immediately spread all over the world, and the name of integrity will be captured!

A group of people were boiling, already discussing, and were ready to ask Bi Ge Lao to go up to the second floor and question him in person.

They were gearing up and quietly formulating words, all preparing to humiliate this Bi Shoufu who made them extremely angry and aggrieved!

Sun Chuanting returned to the cabinet and brought Zhu Xu's words back, and all the auxiliary ministers were also discussing.

"It's still the emperor's clever means."

Wang Qiaonian, who rarely spoke, was the first to speak and exclaimed.

King Jing nodded and said, "Instead of letting those people write a letter of impeachment, it is indeed better to tell the matter in person, and after saying it, the matter will pass." ” Indeed, even though the parliament has the power to supervise, it cannot appoint or dismiss officials, which is nothing more than being spitted on a little bit, which is better than being constantly put cold arrows, frightened, and restless.

Bi Ziyan's expression was somewhat better, thinking in his heart that Zhu Xu was reluctant to let him go, this was protecting him in disguise.

There was a look of comfort in his eyes, he looked at everyone, and said: "There should be a more careful charter for the recommendation of the councilor, Bai Gu, you and Master Fu will work with the Ministry of Rites, and the Second Department of the Ministry of Officials will carefully discuss a way, and it will be necessary in a few days." ” Sun Chuanting, Fu Changzong said: "Yes." ” Bi Ziyan gained confidence, his eyes swept over the people present, and he said in a rather domineering tone: "No matter when the council questions this official, it will be delayed for three days."

Also, the 'New Deal' can't be stopped, it must be more firm, the matter of Yangzhou Mansion, urge the Anti-Corruption Bureau to hurry up and solve the case, and then go to Nanzhili, asking them to grit their teeth and not let go, if anyone stabs the official at this time, don't blame the official for killing people!

” Everyone was in a daze, and it was obvious that this incident had angered Elder Bige, and this good old man was also angry and wanted to kill someone.

The wind and clouds are surging in the capital, and the waves are magnificent, and Nanzhili is not much better.

Xu Jie, who participated in politics on the left, has only been in Nanzhili for two years, he is young, but he already has gray hair, he bows his head to the desk and constantly deals with government affairs.

At this time, a Si Zhilang came in, lowered a note, and said, "My lord, the flying pigeon in the palace is passing the book, and Bi Ge is old." ” Xu Jie hurriedly raised his head, took it, and spread it out, looking slightly shocked, there were only four words on it: Eliminate evil. seems to be a very bland idiom, but Xu Jie can hear the murderous intent behind it and Bi Ziyan's anger.

"What did the capital send?"

Xu Jie said solemnly.

Si Zhilang smiled bitterly and said: "My lord, Zhou Tongju was the general of the cabinet, and now that he has done such a ridiculous thing, Bi Ge Lao is only afraid that life will be difficult." ” Xu Jie's brows twisted like Sichuan characters, nodded knowingly, with a gloomy face, and said, "Is there any progress in the case?"

” Si Zhilang shook his head and said, "Lord Feng has searched the entire Yangzhou City, and there is no clue at all.

The envoys were mostly in the yamen of the government soldiers, and they have never gone out so far. ” Xu Jie's brows wrinkled in pain, but he couldn't care about it, and said, "Where is the governor now?"

” Si Zhilang said: "The impact of this case is too bad, the cabinet has asked him to go to Beijing to explain, and the lower officials heard that the Fang Mansion has cleaned up and is ready to return to his hometown." ” Obviously, Nan Zhili has such an unbearable thing, and Fang Kong, the governor, is the first person to take the blame, and he can't run away.

Xu Jie sighed, the 'New Deal' is already huge and complicated, both inside and outside the court can be promoted, and there is no extra energy to do other things, once this matter comes out, I am afraid that it will affect all aspects, and the consequences may be more serious than anyone expected.

Xu Jie was silent for a while, and said, "Prepare the carriage, I want to go to Yangzhou Mansion." ” Si Zhilang was stunned for a moment and said, "My lord, this is not appropriate, Lord Feng is already there." ” Xu Jie stood up, with an indescribable calmness and anger on his face, and said, "Not only I want to go, Lord Fang will also go, this matter is not so easy to be good!"

” Si Zhilang looked at this Zuo Counselor who had always been calm and had lost his footing in Qi cultivation, his expression was a little stunned, he saw Xu Jie with such an expression for the first time.

He suddenly felt as if there was a murderous aura in the entire governor's yamen, which was cold and terrifying, and he couldn't help but shiver. 1
