Chapter 203 The blame is so big that Yang Tinghe can’t bear it
No one dared to read the contents of the memorial in advance.
Because of the harsh method used, the memorial is like a lead and is very hot to the touch.
Now, both inside and outside the Fengtian Palace can only wait in suppressed uneasiness for the emperor to read the memorial.
There was heavy worry in Yang Tinghe's eyes: he could even think with his toes that this memorial must be related to new knowledge, new laws, and Yang Tinghe.
Li Xiang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, already had numb toes: Li Xiang was an errand in his Ministry of Industry.
Wang Qiong and Zhang Zilin quickly recalled the information about this new Jinshi in their minds.
Li Xiang, a native of Xinhui County, Guangzhou Prefecture, passed the provincial examination in the 14th year of Zhengde. He failed in the previous examination. He passed the examination in the second examination. Although he was only ranked top 237, he was just 25 years old.
, can be called a talent.
His father died early and his mother died in the 10th year of Zhengde, causing him to miss the provincial examination in the 11th year of Zhengde. Otherwise, he might have passed the Jinshi exam three or even six years earlier.
Such a promising young man, who had just returned to his hometown and got married after failing the exam for 16 years, why should he leave an orphan and a widower to die?
Zhu Houcong had already seen these self-reports from the memorial. After reading this fatal remonstrance, he slowly closed his eyes and looked at Zhang Zuo.
The counselors couldn't help but feel excited: Admiral Zhang Zuo was supervising the Jin Yiwei. What exactly was written in the memorial? After the emperor read it, his first reaction was to ask the Jin Yiwei to check it?
Zhang Zuo bent down and left first to find Luo An and Zhang Bor.
After Jin Yiwei and the inner factory found out about this incident, they should have quickly found out something from the clues in the previous information, right?
"...Your Majesty, I don't know about the memorial..."
Since the emperor had already seen it, Yang Tinghe quickly stepped forward to ask for instructions.
"Zhang Jin." Zhu Houchong handed the memorial to Huang Jin first, "Read it."
After Zhang Jin received the memorial from Huang Jin, he did not dare to neglect it. The first sentence after opening it was:
[Li Xiang, the chief minister of the Tuntian Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Industry, would like to write a memorial: In order to bluntly point out the disadvantages of redundant officials under the new law, the chaos in industry and commerce caused suffering to the people of the Ming Dynasty, I urge the emperor to abandon the new law, establish Neo-Confucianism, restore the old system, and get rid of the traitors to bring peace to the world.
The people of the country pray for eternal peace in the country.】
Zhang Jin's clear voice echoed inside and outside Fengtian Hall, but the content was already clear.
New law, new learning!
[Taizu cleaned up the interior of the country, created official products, neglected corvee and paid little tax, and promoted culture and education, so that the great virtues of the Ming Dynasty were spread inside and became famous outside. In the hundred and fifty-eighth year since the founding of the country, although there were occasional external and internal troubles, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
The living people all have their own duties, which is the result of Taizu's old system and the contribution of culture and education.】
[Your Majesty is talented and wise, and your clan is very lucky. Your Majesty has worked hard to govern and is diligent in handling affairs, and the people are very lucky. Since he came to the throne, he has eliminated abuses, cleaned up the imperial houses and shops, cut off the remnants of the previous dynasty, rejuvenated the world, and made the world happy.
Xin Ran looks up to him for his great achievements.]
[However, the assistant minister is unpopular, which is the beginning of chaos in the world!]
One sentence directly pointed the finger at Yang Tinghe, and everyone pricked up their ears to hear how the man who used the corpse to admonish him was criticizing the chief minister.
Yang Tinghe only felt bitter in his heart: Damn it, you dare to die, can't you see who is causing trouble? I was forced!
[The first crime is that due to the heavy responsibilities entrusted by the general government, selfish motives were used to hide hidden worries in the edict, so as to alienate the friendship between clan members!]
[The second crime is that the child looked upon the emperor, oppressed the emperor and his father, and intended to control the government, causing the emperor and his ministers to be jealous of each other, and the court was unstable!]
[The third crime was the fire of the Rijing Sect, which was covered up by Yang Jie; later, the traitor Fang Muxian came forward, and the traitor party appeased the southeast; and then there was a lot of resentment among the people in the capital, and the three law officials killed the relatives of the country regardless of the friendship of the clan. The case
Everyone knows what is strange. The power is so fierce that the government and the public do not dare to speak out!]
[The fourth crime is to exclude important ministers and appoint nepotism. His younger brother is the left minister of the Ministry of War, his son is already in the third rank, his disciples have been in prominent positions, and he uses his in-laws as consorts. Since the founding of the country, there has never been anyone so wantonly seizing power!]
[The fifth crime is that after the reform of the Yuan Dynasty, the national policy conference was replaced by the dynasty meeting, and the cabinet reviewed and handled the affairs of various ministries. All major matters were decided by the national policy conference, the permanent dynasty was reduced, and the internal and external were gradually isolated.]
[The sixth crime is that in the name of pursuing the posthumous title of Zhongwu Gong and welcoming Emperor Jing into the temple, he repeatedly instigated the world to discuss the legal system, with sinister intentions!]
[The seventh crime is to control the scriptures and banquets, pretending that the practical knowledge comes from your majesty, but actually using the new law to incite party strife and cut off dissidents. Now there are even more disobedient words that the state system is solid and cannot be lightly touched. Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions!
】
As soon as the seven deadly sins were mentioned, Yang Tinghe and his advisers looked at the emperor with complicated expressions.
Zhu Houcong's expression was calm, suppressing the weirdness in his heart.
The blame is indeed huge, but they have to endure it.
Zhang Jin is still reading:
[I have received great kindness from the country. I was born in the Hongzhi period, listened to the teachings of the sages in the Zhengde period, and was selected as a scholar by your majesty in the Jiajing period. I watched the government in April, and I was diligent and did not dare to forget it. I heard that before the Yuan Dynasty was changed, your Majesty's court meeting had not yet held a banquet.
If there are any omissions, the memorials will be rectified personally. Diligence can truly serve as an example for kings of all dynasties. The diligence of a minister is due to his desire to repay the king's kindness and to encourage himself.】
[However, when traitors are in the court, Your Majesty has personally experienced the dangers of the imperial edict and the murderous intentions of the Rijing Sect. Because the Great Ceremony Meeting fell into the plot of the traitors, the imperial study room was set up, and the national policy meeting was completely controlled by the traitors! The important ministers who were promoted may be exiled to the border town.
, or be pushed to the local area. The people of the world know that your majesty is determined to kill thieves, so they do not hesitate to elect the world, and use relatives to serve as officials to compete with him!]
[However, the treacherous party has sinister intentions. Every time it uses His Majesty's determination to govern the country, he uses his Majesty's desire to govern the country as a cover-up to seize power and usurp power. The affairs of the country are complicated and all are in the hands of the treacherous party. The officials of the country are afraid of rats and cannot bear to disrupt the state affairs and bring disaster to the people;
Without a king and father, the etiquette has been corrupted, and Wang Mang has become a usurper of the Han Dynasty!]
[Since I was appointed as the head of the Tuntian Cleaning Department, I have been responsible for handling firewood. Thinking about the disasters of the new law, my hair stands on end.]
[I read through the classics and found that during the Tianshun reign in Shanchang, Yizhou, only more than 4.3 million kilograms of firewood were produced each year. As of now, the number has increased to 18.12 million kilograms. In addition to the Ministry of Industry, there is also military firewood.
】
[More than 20,000 kilograms of firewood are used every year, and more than 100,000 men are needed to cut wood, collect firewood, and carry firewood every year. The mountains and forests near and far in Yizhou are almost exhausted, and the price of firewood is now 10,000 kilograms.
It has exceeded thirteen taels of silver and more than forty taels of charcoal.】
[If, as the new law says, the number of officials in the world is dozens of times greater, given time, how much more charcoal will be cut and burned? How many people will be required to send people? They are all done by purchasing. This is the only one item in the household department, and how much will it cost?
?]
[Chen Jue Ming reports: This is just one of the insignificant harms caused by redundant officials! Yang Zhi wants to implement the official treatment law, new government system, and purchase law. It is called clarifying taxes and servitude to relieve the people's poverty, but in fact it is to lure the gentry to plot evil and harm the country and the people! Yang
The traitor talks a lot about physics and human principles, but I don’t bother to refute his fallacy. With too many officials and few people, the harm is obvious. It’s just about firewood, but I don’t know the physics and human principles. How can I explain it?]
[I feel deeply that the country is in danger, and I only hope to use this thin body as a drum to stir up the deaf and enlighten people! The loyal ministers in the world only need your Majesty's command, and they will definitely gather together to help your Majesty eradicate the traitors and restore the old system. With the wise monarch in office, the people are full of righteousness.
With your Majesty’s determination to govern the country, the Ming Dynasty will be revived and the country will last for thousands of years!]
[I personally went to hell as a martyr! There is no need for your majesty to feel sad, but please tell me clearly: there are many loyal ministers in the world who are willing to die for justice, and there is nothing to fear from mere traitors!]
[My final words before my death, long live your majesty! Long live! Long live!]
There was silence in the Fengtian Palace, and Yang Tinghe, the traitorous minister, was thinking: Did I choose you because I had done many evil things in my previous life?
