"Shuh..."

A majestic and solemn Shao music sounded, and the dragon chariot appeared in front of the majestic Huangji Hall.

At this time, the morning glow is rising.

Taichang slowly stepped onto the steps towards the dragon chaise, and the Shao music stopped, and the whip sounded three times. The official of the Honglu Temple's ceremony immediately said loudly: "Enter the class."

"Wow", thousands of officials immediately lay neatly on the square in front of the Huangji Hall, shouting in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live."

Sitting on the high ground and looking down at the huge square, the feeling of dominating the world is really fascinating!

Unfortunately, the imperial power has declined, and many people do not take him as the emperor seriously.

The mountain called the three links, and all officials were flat, and Taichang couldn't help but slowly scanned.

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Fang Congzhe, is from Deqing, Zhejiang, and the leader of the Zhejiang Party;

Sun Ruyou, Minister of Rites, was from Yuyao, Zhejiang, and a giant in the Zhejiang Party;

Zhou Jiamo, Minister of Personnel, was a native of Tianmen in Huguang, and a giant in the Chu Party;

Huang Jiashan, Minister of War, was from Jimo, Shandong, and a giant in the Qi Party;

Li Qing, the left censor of the Censorate, was from Jinyun, Chuzhou, Zhejiang, and a giant in the Zhejiang Party;

Among the civil officials, except for the few Donglin Party members who were promoted when he ascended the throne, the others were basically the Qi, Chu, Zhejiang Party and its dependent party members!

No wonder these guys are so bold that the entire court is under their control now. So what if they want to change the emperor?

Taichang snorted coldly, then waved his hand.

A tall and mighty captain of Jinyi immediately stepped out of the crowd, walked to the steps, spread Cui Wensheng's confession and read it aloud.

This seems a bit unruly!

Generally, the morning court process is to report the matter first and then discuss the matter. Before the officials report the important matter, why did they read this inexplicable confession?

Besides, even if you want to read something, it is the official of the Honglu Temple of Rites. When will it be the turn of the Jinyiwei?

Cui Wensheng's confession was compiled by Wei Zhongxian, Taichang Sect, and the spearhead was directed at Concubine Zheng and the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang Party. What is strange is that after reading the confession, Fang Congzhe, Sun Ruyou and others were still calm and calm.

Immediately afterwards, the Jinyi Captain spread Xi Li's suicide note and read it aloud.

Fang Congzhe, Sun Ruyou and others were still standing there like sculptures, without blinking, as if they had not been mentioned in their confessions and suicide notes.

Are these guys pretending to be deaf and dumb to me?

Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help but ask coldly: "Fang Congzhe, what else do you have to say?"

Fang Congzhe finally moved when he heard this.

He slowly walked to the middle of the imperial road, lay down and said with neither humility nor arrogant words: "Emperor, Cui Wensheng and Li Xuanshi are all the same words. I don't understand why they said that, and I never thought of murdering the emperor."

This guy is so shameless!

Taichang couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Where is Li Kezhuo, isn't he your confidant? It's not your instruction that he dares to drug me!"

Fang Congzhe still said neither humble nor arrogantly: "The emperor forgives the crime. I really don't agree with this. There are more than ten thousand officials in the Ming Dynasty. It is impossible for everyone to be a confidant of the minister. You can't be taught everything by the minister, right? Li Kezhuo himself never said it was taught by the minister! Besides, Li Kezhuo presented an immortal elixir. This kind of immortal elixir, Shizong, and the late emperor, had taken it, how could it be said it was poison?"

Humph, this guy dared to say nonsense because Li Kezhuo disappeared and had no evidence of death!

There was no way. Yesterday, I was too busy just to clean the inner palace. When I made a move to catch people outside the palace, Li Kezhuo had already run away without a trace.

Taichang was so angry that he really wanted to order someone to drag the old guy out and chop him up!

Problem, he can't do this, because these civil servants are not afraid of death, and killing a Fang Congzhe is useless at all. Moreover, killing the chief minister of the cabinet without any evidence will definitely cause an uproar.

At the beginning, the late emperor Wanli didn't believe in this evil and insisted on fighting with the civil servants.

As a result, four cabinet chief ministers were removed in succession, more than ten and six ministers of the Ministry of Justice, and more than 300 officials in Beijing were useless. In the end, he lost the dispute over the foundation of the country.

Civil officials these days are not afraid of the emperor. As long as they think you have no reason, they will just follow you to the end!

Why is this happening?

In fact, Taichang knew very well, because there were so many emperors in front of him who liked to make trouble.

For example, Yingzong, superstitious eunuch Wang Zhen, was a fool, which led to the Tumu Fort Incident, and all the elite troops of the Ming army were lost, and he himself was captured. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty also declined from prosperity.

For example, Wuzong was righteous and loyal, favored eunuchs, was addicted to entertainment, and did not do his job properly, which led to the rampant tyrants and officials, and they did not know how many loyal and kind people were killed.

For example, Shizong Jiajing, who was superstitious about alchemists, favored corrupt officials, and became addicted to cultivating immortals, resulting in corruption prevailing and people were living in poverty.

There is also the Shenzong Wanli, who has a perverse personality and does not hesitate to start a dispute over the country for a woman. He completely turns against the court officials and has even been angry for more than 20 years.

If you let the emperor do such a reckless act, that's fine!

This is basically the mind of the civil officials in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. They should not let the emperor make trouble, otherwise the Ming Dynasty would perish!

What's the result?

A few of these civil officials have no selfish intentions. They all say that they are high-sounding, and they are not just forming cliques for personal gain and fighting for power and profit. In the end, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed in the hands of these people!

So, how can we deal with these hypocritical hypocrites?

In fact, it is also very simple. Just slap them in the face. As long as they are left with faceless, they will have no face to survive in the officialdom. This is more effective than killing them.

Thinking of this, Taichang couldn't help but mocked: "Li Kezhuo is not your confidant? Look at the civil and military officials in the court, the six ministries, the five temples, and the Censorate. How many of them are not your Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang Party? Li Kezhuo is just a juren. If he was not your confidant, he would be the Chief of the Honglu Temple?"

Of course, this is impossible for Fang Congzhe to recognize.

He said shamelessly: "Your Majesty, I am not appointing people as nepotism, but selecting talents for the country and the people. If you don't believe me, you can order people to investigate. I am not promoting any relatives to serve in the court."

You are still choosing talents for the country and the people?

Taichang sneered, "What about Yang Hao? What about Yang Hao? In order to help Li Rumei seize military merits and miss the opportunity to fight in the battle of Ulsan, Chen Yin almost wiped out the Japanese pirates entrenched in Ulsan, but he asked his family to withdraw their troops, which delayed nearly a month. Finally, the Japanese reinforcements came, but he left behind the army and fled first, resulting in the loss of more than 30,000 troops from the Ming Dynasty. Will he lead the troops to fight? The Ming Dynasty lost less than 50,000 soldiers and soldiers who suffered two aid to Korea. He killed most of them alone. Why do you still recommend him as the commander-in-chief to fight against Jiannu? "

Uh, this one.

Why did you say that Yang Hao was gone?

Fang Congzhe was stunned for a moment, and then he argued: "Yang Hao is deeply loved by the people in the vassal states. The King of Korea has written letters to him several times. He is so virtuous, so he cannot abandon it."

If you talk about these useless things, do you think you are a fool?

Taichang said a little annoyed: "What did Yang Hao go to North Korea for? The court asked him to lead his army to fight against the Japanese pirates, not to let him win over the people's hearts! He used the court's money and food to win over the subjects of the vassal states. This is called a virtuous person? You strongly recommend him to go to Liaodong to preside over the overall situation? The Battle of Ulsan and the Battle of Sarhu were both commanded by him. What was the result? He was ruined by more than 100,000 elite soldiers in the Ming Dynasty. Do you still think it's not enough, right? Such a person is not enough to cut him a hundred times, you are still trying to protect him and excuse him. You want to take him out and continue to harm the Ming Dynasty, right? You are still virtuous, are you my three-year-old child? You are so easy to deceive!"

this!

Yang Hao has indeed not been dealt with yet, so he is trying his best to find a way to fish it out.

Speaking of this, Fang Congzhe was really speechless.

Alas, there is no way, Yang Hao is the favorite general of Chen Yiguan, the founder of the Zhejiang Party!

What can he do?

He could only try his best to protect it, otherwise the respected elders of the Zhejiang Party would not deal with him!

Seeing this, Taichang couldn't help but sneer.

Hehe, there's nothing to say?

Fortunately, I was prepared!

Next, let’s see how the Donglin Party takes the opportunity to deal with you.

You like to fight, right?

I will let you fight for joy!

He pretended to be extremely angry, stood up and shouted angrily: "The bright world, the sun and the moon, you dare to deceive the king so blatantly. Is there no law of heaven? Is there no law of kings? I want to join forces with the harem to plot against me. You can try again and retreat to the court!"
Chapter completed!
