Chapter 121 Hanging and beating

Not only Zhu Yiliu, but other officials here also had no hope for Zeng Chaojie.

Who here is not clear? The most intense impeachment is Zhang Wenqi, the censor of the Censorate. The topic of interference in the government is the most sensitive and the most deadly to Zhu Yiliu.

However, even so, he was still crushed into a scum by Zhu Yiliu?

Then how much wave can Zeng Chaojie’s impeachment be expected to cause?

Moreover, in terms of the theme and direction of his impeachment, Zeng Chaojie was at a disadvantage as soon as he came to the fore. Because he not only impeached Zhu Yili, he even brought it with him.

The only thing I feel is that "losing ambition to play with things" has always been the most taboo thing about Empress Dowager Li. I believe that Zhu Yiliu dared not confront Zeng Chaojie as he did just now.

Therefore, compared to Zeng Chaojie, everyone here would rather see Zhu Yiliu, who was behind him: to see what he asked Emperor Wanli to do. Because he wanted to ask for punishment from his tone.

Zeng Chaojie said loudly: "Prince Lu, please forgive me for your words!"

Zhu Yili smiled, unexpectedly, and encouraged: "Of course you have to speak out."

What happened? Thinking that the two guys were in such a miserable situation just now, when it was his turn to stand up, he seemed to be afraid of danger, but in fact he was already in a broken can.

But I had no choice but to reach this point, and I seemed to have to bite the bullet and rush on it.

"As a prince, Prince Lu should be obedient and follow the rules. There is no allowance in the palace, so it would be fine if Prince Lu plays by himself, but he even induces His Majesty to play with you. It is really necessary to reflect on him."

"How do you know that I have not reflected on you?" Zhu Yiliu immediately continued.

"..." Zeng Chaojie was a little stuck and continued, "Not to mention that Your Majesty has to deal with every day and has no time to distract himself. According to me, mahjong games like horse tags are actually something that is lost. It should be forbidden to abandon it, but Prince Lu hyped up how fun it was. Not only did he ruin His Majesty, but he also disrupted the customs in the palace..."

"Zeng Chaojie." Zhu Yiliu stole Zeng Chaojie's words, and the smile on his face instantly calmed down and scolded, "You are so brave. What does it mean to "bring your Majesty to ruin your Majesty"? Ah? What do you mean is that the emperor's brother has become very bad?"

If someone else had met Zhu Yiliu, who was so unrestrained, he would not dare to say anything even if he was not scared. However, Zeng Chaojie was not afraid, but instead said with striking words:

"Prince Lu, don't take the matter out of context and avoid being more important. If Prince Lu hadn't been fun and invented mahjong, His Majesty wouldn't have been involved in this bad habit."

Zhu Yili smiled at Zeng Chaojie, and his smile was a little cunning, and then said to Emperor Wanli: "Brother, Zeng Chaojie accused him, oh, no, no, he was calling you a bad habit."

Zeng Chaojie: "..."

Emperor Wanli said seriously: "I am just relaxing in my spare time, and talking about the loss of ambition and bad habits?"

"That's it." Zhu Yiliu hurriedly echoed, "Zeng Chaojie, have you made a big fuss? Mahjong is not guilty, why should we prohibit abandonment? Besides, big gambling is harmful to the body, small gambling is good for the mood, and no good at it. Besides, you also know that the emperor's brother is busy with everything and tired every day. Proper leisure and entertainment is not only beneficial to physical and mental health, but also to improve work efficiency. Isn't it beautiful!"

Zeng Chaojie argued with reason and said sonorously: "Prince Lu, Kebeizhi heard that he is addicted to mahjong. Once he gets it, he can't let it go without an hour or two. How is this leisure and entertainment? It's a waste of time."

"Oh, what you mean is that people should work every moment and never rest for a moment, right? Life is short, so don't be too tense. You have to rest and relax. Alas, I originally planned to propose that my mother and the emperor add a few days of vacation to you, such as: work for six days and one day off, but now it seems that you don't need it?"

As soon as Zhu Yili said this, he immediately attracted all his eyes.

Although no one spoke, they all stared at each other and thought of going together: What? Working for six days and one day off? That's a great thing to be desired!

You should know that the officials of the Ming Dynasty were the most tiring in history, and they couldn't take many days off a year.

In addition to the three-day holidays per month (equivalent to one day off on ten days), there are four holidays: Spring Festival, Lantern Festival, Zhongyuan, and Winter Solstice, there are no other holidays.

Compared with the relatively leisurely Song Dynasty, the holidays were half missing.

The real vacation system in my country began in the Han Dynasty and was divided into two categories: one is menstrual vacation (i.e., rest, which is the weekend in our current sense), and the other is seasonal vacation.

There are two types of falsehoods, each dynasty has different periods. There are five days off, such as the Han Dynasty, and ten days off, such as the Tang Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. The regulations on seasonal fals are naturally different due to different seasons advocated by each dynasty.

But overall, the holidays for Ming Dynasty officials were undoubtedly the least.

So, when Zhu Yili proposed to take a day off for six days, the officials here were all straight. If the salary did not decrease, who wouldn't want to take a few more days off?

Now it is a ten-day rest. If it turns into six-day rest, it means at least one more day off a month. It doesn’t seem to be much, but you can take more than ten days off in a year!

Who is so unhappy about this...?

If you can fight for at least ten more days of vacation a year because of impeachment of Zhu Yili, it would be a great pleasure!

Is it a blessing in disguise?

The officials first looked at Zhu Yili in unison, and then looked at Emperor Wanli at the same time, obviously wanting to prove: Is it possible for what Prince Lu said to be realized?

Seeing that Emperor Wanli was silent, a faint smile appeared on his face...

Huh? It doesn't seem to object.

Then, you all turned your attention to Zhu Yili again. After all, what he said does not count, and what Emperor Wanli said does not count. It is necessary for Empress Dowager Li and Zhang Juzheng to make the decision at the same time!

However, when they saw Zhu Yiliu's confident gaze, they believed it.

Convinced Empress Dowager Li, believing that Zhu Yiliu has this ability; if Zhang Juzheng can be cured, Zhu Yiliu can also convince him.

In this case, I will have a rest every six days. Is it a big hope?

...

Because seeing your eyes of Zhu Yiliu with great enthusiasm and trust, Zeng Chaojie felt that he no longer had to talk more.

Well, he still has this self-knowledge.

When impeaching Zhu Yiliu to "lost your ambition" and wasting time, he might still get some support; but when Zhu Yiliu advocates the combination of work and rest, and transforms into a rest day, who would support him as a servant and oppose Zhu Yiliu?

The most important thing is that Zhu Yiliu suddenly grasped people's hearts and brought benefits to you!

Zeng Chaojie felt that he had lost completely. If the proposal of 1000 yuan for six days could be realized, the officials would be grateful to Zhu Yili because of his impeachment.

It turns out that like Wu Mengxiong and Zhang Wenqi, I still can't get rid of the fate of being beaten by Zhu Yili!

But, wait a while, wait a moment... Isn't it that mahjong criticized the loss of ambitions? Why did you jump to rest without realizing it?

Oh, Prince Lu is playing Tai Chi with tricks! He punched him, and he pushed softly to other places...

Thinking of this, Zeng Chaojie raised some confidence and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Prince Lu, I have something to say."
