Chapter 173: Changes in the situation of the court
As Cui Chengxiu and Gu Bingqian's memorials were sent to the imperial court, all the Donglin Party members in the court were silent.
Why is there no movement? Isn’t it that Wei Zhongxian is afraid of his death-making attitude?
Wei Zhongxian had already said clearly that the world is the Zhu family. If there is an emperor in court, how can these "sages" beg for pointing fingers and talking nonsense?
Gu Bingqian, Cui Chengxiu, Wei Guangwei, Chen Jiuchou, and other new and old eunuchs also spoke for Zhu Youxiao, and agreed in unison.
The Tao is that the Zhu family's world has not yet collapsed. Why do they say that they have a shortcoming? This is not OK, and that is not right?
If anyone dares to say that it is not here, the emperor will completely kill them. We all support the emperor's Holy Death.
This is not over yet, and Wang Tigan is also secretly planning to publish the relationship between Wei Dazhong, Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong and others in recent issues of the Beijing News.
Not long after, countless rumors spread from the government and the country, and even the city. The common people sighed that it turned out that this high school juren of Wei Dazhong was the teacher Gao Panlong who had taken the back door!
This is the role of Wei Zhongxian.
Zhu Youxiao was just a little irritated in the warm room at that time. He said a harsh word that reached his ears and he had to share his worries immediately for his master.
In fact, there is nothing like Zhu Youxiao being the emperor.
After Wei Zhongxian was so troubled, what else did Zhu Youxiao say? Without cabinet tickets, he issued an edict again in the first month of the second year of Tianqi:
"Wei Dazhong bullies me and is young, and will be the leader of the court to repay the kindness of teachers and students, and make the arguments deviate. If Xie Yingxiang's generation truly comforts Ningxia, what kind of political system will it form?
Xie Yingxiang, Wei Dazhong was demoted to three levels each, and transferred to outside the office and never returned to Beijing."
In addition, Zhu Youxiao also ordered the Censorate and the Ministry of Revenue:
"Your department, minister, will be recommended by the imperial edict, why should you be vague and biased? In the future, you will also issue a new edict to make a whole.
If anyone still follows the predecessor, he will form a party and confuse state affairs, he will publish the Beijing News together to inform the people of the world that they will know and take the heavy responsibility. I will never tolerate it!"
After this wave passed, the people all understood why the emperor blamed the Donglin Party members.
The relationship between the Donglin Party members over the years, their good reputations were fake. Even the heroes and important officials like Wei Dazhong were in contact with each other.
What about others, aren’t there more?
The Censorate and the Ministry of Personnel were famous for all the officials. They were severely rebuked by the emperor. Zhao Nanxing, who was in charge of both departments, was even pushed to the forefront by the public opinion.
The result of this time was that the Donglin Party lost all the money and the eunuch Party won a great victory.
The main reason is the Beijing News. The people all know what Wei Dazhong is. No matter how the emperor deals with it, this should be done.
Wei Guangwei and Chen Jiuchou, one in order to revenge and the other in order to take office in Ningxia, both used their power.
Both of them finally got what they wanted. Wei Guangwei took one step to heaven, the Grand Secretary of Jindong Pavilion, and entered the cabinet to assist in government administration.
Although Chen Jiuchou did not immediately receive the imperial edict to take office in Ningxia, he was not panicked at all. Anyway, Wei Zhongxian supported him, and once the limelight passed, the position of Ningxia governor will be his.
As for Wei Dazhong, he was the one who was the worst this time.
When the imperial edict came, many people were laughing, thinking that the Donglin Party was the one who was the one who danced in Wei Dazhong. Now that he has been transferred to the southwest, he will never think about going back to the court and stay there to teach completely.
Judging from this guy's ability to jump in the court, teaching in the southwest just fits him, making his keyboard man's kung fu work hard.
This time, Zhu Youxiao completely tore the hypocritical faces of the ministers of the Donglin Party’s ministers and courts, without leaving any face for them.
Not to mention how miserable the Ministry of Personnel was refuted, the four words "Friends and Party formation" alone mean that they do not kill people but kill their hearts.
This is a big hat, and the cheers of the Beijing News are enough to completely crush people to death. Moreover, this time Zhu Youxiao suppressed the entire Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate, and there were more than one person.
"Friends to form a clique" and "forming a clique for personal gain" are only two different words, but the severity is very different. The latter is at most a clique, while the former can be involved in coups and rebellion.
The court officials repeatedly impeached the memorials, which was a party dispute and was not a big deal, but Emperor Tianqi reprimanded it in the sacred edict, which was a big deal.
In this regard, Zhao Nanxing, who is also in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate, cannot be without any statement. Many people are watching, which is impossible to make excuses.
Just the third day after Zhu Youxiao criticized the Censorate and the Ministry of Personnel issued the imperial edict, Zhao Nanxing finally could not stand the criticism from the court and the country, and submitted a memorial to claim that he was old and stupid, and requested to return to the fields.
This time, Zhu Youxiao was more straightforward than Yang Lian that time, and even did not issue a sage. He came out of the West Warehouse to approve it, and there were no kind words to comfort him in his words, and there were many sarcastic words.
"When Chen Jiuchou asked for a job, if you didn't say a word for that little bit of shame, why would you be today's chaotic?
When the meeting was ordered, you were unfair and unfaithful, and deceived me and succeeded to the throne in the young, and mobilized me.
After recent events, I have personally seen you as old and stupid as you are, and you are unable to bear the responsibility. How can you expect you to be the department and the court to clarify the administration of officials in the country?
Now you have a self-knowledge and refuse to blame me for being old. I am not unkind. I am considering the order of returning to my hometown and never use it."
In a party struggle, Wei Zhongxian took action and the Donglin Party was completely defeated.
The court struggles did not stop for a moment, but were years of war without gunpowder. Zhu Youxiao’s words in the imperial edict, “Friends and Party”, do not kill people, but kill their hearts.
This also directly led to Zhao Nanxing's uncontroversy and asked to resign and return home.
......
The last time Yang Lian was resigned, it caused a storm in the court. Countless ministers came forward, some of whom had submitted memorials and some who had met and bid farewell to him.
This time, Zhao Nanxing returned home, but it looked like a desolate scene. No one tried to keep him, and no one pleaded for him.
A few days after Zhao Nanxing left Beijing, nearly half of Donglin officials from the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate submitted memorials and impeached them.
This time, Zhu Youxiao played some tricks, and issued a sage to the West Warehouse, sending all the self-important memorials of Donglin officials to the cabinet to draft them, and then he then criticized the rewards.
The chief assistant of the cabinet, Han Du and the second assistant of Liu Yi-Yun, are all important officials of the Donglin Party, but now the situation is over, what can they say?
The Minister of Personnel and the Left Censor of the Censorate were both among the nine ministers and were the first-class officials of the court.
Due to the election of the governor of Ningxia, there was a lot of controversy in the court. In the end, Zhao Nanxing, who was also the Academy of the Catholic Academy, was resigned, and Donglin Yuanxun Wei Dazhong was transferred to the position. The emperor was still so strict.
It was called by people at that time, and this is a rare example in all dynasties.
However, this is not over. With the help of the self-important memorial of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate, Wei Zhongxian mobilized relations and transferred a group of Donglin civil officials, including Zhang Guangxian, the Department of the Ministry of Personnel's Literature Selection, Zou Weihua, the Department of the Career Division, and other groups of Donglin civil officials to the Southwest to serve as lecturers.
Chen Jiuchou will officially go to Ningxia to take office in January.
Later, three censors and censors from the Donglin Party of the Censorate were denied and were dismissed from their hometowns. For a moment, the political situation of the court suddenly changed.
Since Zhao Nanxing has already left his post, there are vacant positions in the Left Censor of the Censorate and the Minister of Personnel.
The Ministry of Personnel and the Censorate respectively wrote the article, and asked Chen Yuting, the Left Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Liu Zongzhou, the Left Deputy Censor of the Censorate.
Although these two were naturally promoted in the order of ranks, in theory, Emperor Tianqi would have approved it if he had known that they were the Donglin Party.
Wei Zhongxian was not worried at all about this.
The ancients often said that being with the king is like being with a tiger. This is very reasonable. He had previously criticized Zhu Youxiao, the Donglin Party, for a large number of criticisms, but this time the imperial edict was abnormal and asked the various departments and yamen to recommend it.
Wei Zhongxian felt a chill when he heard this.
The ministry and government offices will promote it, and many candidates will be produced, and each party and faction has it. Donglin is naturally no exception. Who can guarantee that these two important positions will be all done by their own eunuchs?
