Chapter 99 Cabinet Chief Assistant Acting Award (first order requested)
Chapter 99 Cabinet Chief Assistant Acting Award (first order requested)
The emperor cannot give in or bow his head?
That is a lie to children and fools.
Throughout the ages, which emperor could do everything as he wished and implement every idea?
It shouldn't be like this, because humans will always make mistakes.
Zhu Houcong was fully aware of this.
But Yang Ting and their demands are unfair.
"Since I have become the emperor, I cannot be ignorant of the underlying situation or deal with injustice." Zhu Houcong looked at Wang Qiong and others, "Mr. Yang Ge, I have understood that the water in the court is extremely filthy. We need to continue the trial.
I wonder how many people will be spared. Is this the situation? But the affairs of the country are complicated and cannot be left alone. Pull out the radish and bring out the mud. The more you check, the more you will find. The same is true for those who are lifted up from below. The water in the place is naturally more turbid. Or is it just pretending?
I can't see it, so I just make do with it. I frame it here and paste it there, just to make it look peaceful. Do you want me to do the same?"
The paper maker's hat reappeared, but Yang Tinghe did not argue.
The reality is cruel, but it is indeed reality, just as it is unrealistic to change the law easily.
If everyone can't make it, then they won't make it.
You have to understand that it will be difficult every step of the way before it even begins.
"I still remember that when I first visited the court, I asked Mr. Yang Ge to make fun of the people. At that time, Mr. Yang Ge said that it was ignorant remarks. Now it seems that the people's vision is sharp."
Zhu Houcong looked up at the door, his tone calm and indifferent.
Yang Tinghe's expression changed: Of course what the emperor was talking about now was that if all the officials were pulled out and every other one beheaded, they would not be unjust. How appropriate was it to say it at this time?
But under today's circumstances, he asked the emperor not to continue the trial. Doesn't this prove that he was lying and deceiving the emperor?
"Every official is guilty or not, and the responsible person should verify it according to the law." Zhu Houcong did not stop, "This is what Mr. Yang Ge said that day. Now I am following Mr. Yang Ge's advice because the Qian Ning and Jiang Bin cases are implicated.
I asked the courtiers to check whether Jiang Bin's confession was true, and Mr. Yang Ge advised me to close the case."
At this moment, Yang Tinghe finally thought of the Internal Affairs Division.
What the memorial said, what it said in response to the memorial, and the ministers' stance on various matters should be recorded in the internal files.
Yang Tinghe is the chief assistant, so his words and deeds are naturally the top priority.
In front of this emperor, don't say a word wrong. If there are contradictions, what is the reason?
Zhu Houcong lowered his head, squatted down, and holding Liang Chu's apology and resignation form in his hand, he sincerely asked: "Mr. Yang Ge, which piece of advice should I listen to?"
Yang Tinghe's forehead was sweating, and he was speechless.
"Are the laws of the Ming Dynasty a joke? Are the remonstrances of my ministers a joke? I accept the remonstrances, are they also a joke?"
The emperor has lost his etiquette, how can he squat down and talk to his ministers?
Yang Tinghe raised his head and saw the emperor's sincere eyes.
The look in his eyes was indeed sincere.
It's not sarcasm, there's no anger, it seems to be just confusion, just the confusion of a young man.
But the edge in his words was as cold as a sharp blade.
If the laws of the Ming Dynasty were a joke, where would the laws of the imperial court be in the future?
If a minister advises me, it would be a joke for the emperor to accept the advice. In the future, should the emperor still listen to his ministers' opinions and listen to Yang Tinghe's opinions?
Chills of air flowed from Yang Tinghe's forehead down his back. Yang Tinghe finally understood that the emperor must insist on continuing the trial and where to stop.
It’s just that your words and deeds, Yang Tinghe’s, are inconsistent!
Why are you pretending to be prudent for the country and not willing to turmoil in the court?
One cabinet minister is gone, and three of the nine ministers are gone, which is not called turmoil. If more people are gone, or one of your own people is gone, then it is called turmoil?
It’s up to you to characterize things and draw the lines?
Standards, where are they?
You can characterize and draw the line, why don't you do it this day?
"...Your Majesty! The Ming Dynasty has strict laws and regulations. How can it be a joke? How can it be a joke if the saintly king accepts his loyal advice?" Yang Tinghe could not continue with this cognitive attitude in any case. He could only
At this moment, he lowered his head as if he had admitted his mistake, "I know that my words and deeds at this time are inconsistent with that of that day, which leads to your Majesty's doubts. However, the national affairs are serious and the knot of difficulties changes with the times. At this time, your Majesty wants to investigate the situation in detail.
, and it is by no means the only way to deal with this case. It is the lesser of two evils. Your Majesty, it is not the best choice to judge the character of hundreds of officials based on the purity of this case."
Before Zhu Houcong could speak, Yuan Zonggao finally stood up and said coldly with his weight: "You can't judge the character of hundreds of officials based on this case. However, Liang Dashi, Wang Datianguan, Yang Dasinong, Chen Dazongxian and others
But they are all found to have solid evidence, so they are not included here? The only difference is whether they have found solid evidence?"
The posthumous title of Emperor Daxing has been decided, the palace examination has been completed, and Yuan Zonggao is only one nod away from entering the cabinet.
Liang Chu has decided to leave the court today, and Yuan Zonggao may join the cabinet tomorrow.
An old minister in Qiandi and a newcomer to the cabinet, Yuan Zonggao's weight is unmatched.
Yang Tinghe replied in a deep voice: "Since we have solid evidence, how can we turn a blind eye?"
"Now that we have solid evidence, the Heavenly Official is ashamed of his trust in His Majesty and has already resigned." Yuan Zonggao's lips were hidden under his gray beard, and the words he spat out were heart-breaking, "You, Grand Scholar Yang of Zuozhuguo, admit that your words and deeds are not consistent.
As the head of a hundred officials, when you act like this, you just say that the national affairs are important and the outcome of all the difficulties will change with the times, so it is up to your majesty to judge the situation. At this time, how can this situation be understood? How can your majesty know it?"
Zhu Houcong looked at Yuan Zonggao, who had an indifferent expression.
This time, Yan Song knelt down first, Jiang Mian expressed his attitude, Liang Chu and Wang Qiong first used retreat as a sword, and then Yuan Zonggao summarized his speech, and the contradiction was finally completely resolved.
Assessing the situation, how did this situation come about?
Yang Tinghe burned the fire, and Yang Tinghe artificially created the time and momentum.
It is true that Liang Chu, Wang Qiong and others are unclean and there is no need to worry too much about it, but the key point is, why is the trial no longer continued?
If you cross this line, do you mean that you don’t assess the situation?
Yes, the emperor is now showing a puzzled face: Why can't I continue the trial and see who among the people in the court is innocent and who is innocent?
From now on, it is up to the ministers to tell the emperor: The line has been crossed, Your Majesty?
Who has the right to interpret?
Yang Tinghe was worried and angry: "Your Majesty, despite his great talents, is not fully aware of worldly affairs. The duty of a minister must be stated according to the facts. At this time, it is not suitable to continue the trial, causing a major case, causing trouble to the government, and damaging state affairs. This minister has been an official for many years."
Speak from experience, unwavering judgment! If Your Majesty thinks that I am alarmist and insists on a thorough investigation, I have done my duty. What can I say? How can I stop you again? How can I stop you again? If your Majesty thinks that my words and deeds are not consistent,
It’s no longer appropriate for me to be shameless in the pavilion, why should I regret it?”
After saying these words, he solemnly straightened the train of his robe, bowed in front of Zhu Houcong with a huge salute, and knelt his head on the floor.
The voice reflected from the floor and echoed in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice: "Your Majesty! The old minister has warned me: Mount Tai will not move, but rivers will flow. Moths will always be there, and traitors will never be eradicated. There are those who cannot be moved lightly, just like Mount Tai for eternity.
Just like the same; those who wait for the time to travel are like rivers that run out of water in winter and flood in summer. The water has no permanent strength, so the wise man takes advantage of the situation; the mountain is majestic, so the fool can move in a hundred generations. Things have priorities, and people distinguish between right and wrong. Now that the bad deeds have been shown, how can we overcome the water?
Collect it? A good minister is doing his job, how can he stop eating because of choking?"
"The Holy Emperor plans for eternity, and the wise king and father worry about the people. Gains and losses are not temporary! The ministers are stupid and bad, and they are only chosen for a moment. Your Majesty is wise, and you can choose the virtuous again. Your Majesty wants to understand the situation, and this is a sincere and wise move; the veteran is not
I hope there is another reason for admonishing and blocking this matter. Qian Ning and Jiang Bin are treasonous ministers, and their culpability is very serious! If all officials are investigated because of this case, if the ministers are greedy for merit and the officials are relying on their power, they will surely run away from the reins.
No matter how difficult it is to tame a wild horse, it will be subdued. If this happens, the center will be in chaos, and the Ming Dynasty will be at a loss. Internal troubles will come together, and external troubles are coming!"
"Your Majesty! I am sixty and three years old. I have gone through the three dynasties of Chenghua, Hongzhi and Zhengde. I have been able to assist your majesty in becoming a talented and heroic king. Thanks to your majesty's grace, I am worthy of being listed in the Taiwan Pavilion and can be awarded Zuozhuguo. This is
With this body and mind, I just want to hold the whip and pedal, saddle up and ride, and see the prosperous times of the new dynasty and then live happily. Your Majesty’s ambition is also my ambition! Your Majesty’s worries are also my worries! Now that I know that the future is far away, I dare to climb the shaft buckle
Horse, I hope your Majesty will learn from it! Your Majesty, the road is dangerous! Go slowly!"
The chief minister of the cabinet was full of emotion and cried from his heart.
Suddenly, a light seemed to shine on him.
But Zhu Houcong didn’t have a trophy in his hand.
I recommend another emperor-style historical text "I am the King of the Subjugated Country": traveling through Zhu Qiyu, while Zhu Qizhen was knocking on the door of Datong Mansion.
