059 Killing decisively
The next day, morning court reopened.
This is just the second morning court in Nanjing, which has been the second time in nearly two hundred years. There are only about 30% of the officials in Jinling City, and the others are still waiting for the emperor to pronounce the verdict.
Speaking of verdict, it will be verified immediately.
Taichang glanced around majesticly, and then said coldly: "Everyone should know that those who are not here are all crimes. Although I have voluntarily pleaded guilty and given a slight retribution, I have not said voluntarily pleaded guilty. I will just talk about the result of the sentence here so that everyone can be alert. Anyone who confesses to corruption can pay back all the stolen money, and only dismisses his official position and has no other punishment. If all the stolen money is not paid back, then he will go to jail to pay off the crime. All other crimes are dismissed from office and given a stolen money, and dismissed from office and investigated. However, it is believed that they can confess their own crimes, each person's crime is reduced by one level."
As soon as he said this, everyone's faces were filled with sighs.
Alas, after ten years of hard work, I worked hard, and went back and forth, county examinations, government examinations, provincial examinations, imperial examinations, palace examinations, I don’t know how many difficulties I have overcome, and finally embarked on the career of officialdom. As a result, all my efforts were put into vain, and my fame was gone, and I couldn’t be considered an official. This was the end of my life!
Of course, this is just an appetizer.
Taichang looked at the expressions of everyone and said loudly: "So many officials have been dismissed and so many yamen still have to operate, so these positions cannot be left empty. Therefore, I decided to hold a court meeting this morning today. Regardless of the grade, you can participate in this court meeting exceptionally."
ah!
It is a good thing for the court to discuss, after all, everyone wants to become a senior official of the court of the third rank or above.
Question, how can you notify everyone of such an important matter in advance?
Isn't it better to do something like this?
How many positions above the third rank are available? If you don’t discuss it privately, coordinate and bargain, how can you recommend the “suitable candidate”?
All the officials were caught off guard and looked shocked.
Hehe, you want to form cliques in private and compete for power and profit, but there is no door!
Immediately afterwards, Taichang said seriously: "Of course, there is one more thing to deal with before this."
After saying that, he winked at Cao Huachun on the side.
Cao Huachun immediately took out a list of chanting and started chanting loudly.
"Baji", "Baji", "Baji"......
He recited it like a death talisman, which was to recite it one by one.
Of course these people know in their hearts why their names appear on the list. Not to mention other crimes, they all committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!
After Cao Huachun finished reading it, Taichang immediately shouted: "You are so brave, ah! You dare to deceive the king in front of me. Do you really think I am so good at bullying me? Everyone came, drag it down and chopped it down!"
"Crash", more than ten Jinyiwei rushed into the train, raised the collapsed officials and dragged them out.
This scared the other officials. They all heard something vaguely. The emperor had something to say!
The emperor means, who dares to deceive the emperor in person next, then...!
Sure enough, Taichang immediately said aloud: "Now, start the court discussion!"
Well.
Let’s start the court discussion now!
No one has made any preparations, why do you discuss it?
Is the emperor's attitude an article in the court discussion?
A group of officials in Jinling City were still in a daze, but Bi Maoliang coughed seriously, walked out of the train quickly, and slapped on the imperial road and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I recommend Xu Xi, Duke Dingguo to serve as the garrison of Nanjing."
Taichang immediately nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, it's accurate."
At this time, no one responded. After all, the garrison nobles were designated by the emperor and had little to do with them, so no one felt that there was anything wrong with them.
Unexpectedly, Bi Maoliang continued to say: "Your Majesty, I recommend Bi Zisu, the right assistant censor of the Censorate, to serve as the left censor of the Nanjing Censorate."
Taichang still nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, it's accurate."
Hey, hey, what are you doing? Isn’t this in compliance with the rules?
At this time, someone had already started to get anxious. The second-rank official Zuodu Censor, who doesn’t want to sit on it?
The emperor and Bi Maoliang are good. They play a double act here, one recommends it on the spot, and the other is immediately approved!
The court discussion, isn’t it so good?
Everyone was still considering whether to come out to stop him. Bi Maokang then said loudly: "Emperor, I recommend Bi Ziyan, the young minister of Taipu Temple, to be appointed as the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing."
Taichang still nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, it's accurate."
Hello, I won’t take you to play like this, the Minister of Revenue is the largest position in Nanjing, so you just decided to "privately"!
At this time, the officials had already begun to wink each other and were about to instigate people to make a first bird.
The problem is, it’s not easy to be a good bird. The emperor has just cut a lot of them. If you dare to be a good bird, can someone not deal with you?
While they were hesitating, Bi Maoliang said loudly: "Your Majesty, I recommend Sun Chuanting, the Grand Secretary of the Zuochunfang of Zhanshifu, to serve as the Minister of War in Nanjing."
Taichang naturally nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, it's accurate."
Why don’t you just read the list? Is there anyone who is so polite to you?
Many people looked angry on their faces, not knowing whether they thought that their position was robbed, or whether they thought that the emperor was doing this so ridiculously.
Unfortunately, no one dared to be the first to be the first to be a bird at this time.
Bi Maoliang then said loudly: "Emperor, I recommend Wang Xiangchun, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel in Nanjing to serve as the Minister of Personnel in Nanjing."
Taichang nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, it's accurate."
Too much, the Minister of Personnel is gone again. Are you finished?
At this time, some people's feet moved, but no one dared to take that step after all.
Bi Maoliang then said loudly: "Emperor, my husband recommends the prefect of Huizhou Shi Wancheng as the Minister of Rites in Nanjing."
Taichang nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, it's accurate."
Now, someone finally couldn't help it.
Wei Guangwei, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, suddenly coughed, walked out of the train quickly, knelt on the imperial road and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is not in accordance with the rules. The Minister of Rites is the reserve candidate for the cabinet ministers. According to the rules, they must be the Chu Xiang, who was born in Hanlin,."
Keep the rules with me?
Do you think that you must be the Minister of Rites, otherwise you just don’t follow the rules, right?
very good!
Wei Guangwei and Taichang still have an impression, because this person is the shameless person in history who shamelessly recognized Wei Zhongxian as his clan uncle and thus climbed to the position of Grand Secretary of the Cabinet!
Originally, Taichang wanted to keep him and help Wei Zhongxian, but this guy didn't know how to live or die. He ran out to be the first bird, so don't blame me for being rude.
At this time, everyone is watching the result of this outstanding bird. If there is a struggle, there will definitely be a lot of people who will come out to fight. This is the most common method used by civil servants. They rely on the large number of people and force the palace to force them!
Can I still be used to your problem?
Do you think I am the late emperor?
Taichang pretended to be angry and said, "Rules? Who sets the rules? Have you set the rules for me? You're so fucking! Come on, drag it down with fifty major boards!"
Court stick?
If it is just a court stick, then that is nothing. Many civil officials are proud of directly admonishing the emperor to be shot.
At this time, many people were already eager to try.
Unexpectedly, Taichang roared again: "I plan to dismiss Wei Guangwei from office and remove him from his post and investigate!"
ah!
Wouldn't you bring this one?
Wei Guangwei said one thing, and he was not wrong yet. Originally, the Minister of Rites had to be a Hanlin family.
Shi Wancheng was the prefect, so he was definitely not from the Hanlin family, because the Hanlin family basically served in the capital and would not be sent to the local area.
The question is, the emperor is unreasonable, what should I do?
Then don’t reason with others!
All the old men in the officialdom understand that to reason with unreasonable people, that is, your mind is getting into the water. When you encounter this emperor who often kills people, do you reason with others?
All the eager people took their slightly stretched out feet back.
Alas, it is not easy to take the exam for fame and fortune, and it is even more difficult to become an official. If you dismiss the official position and get rid of your official position, you will be over in this life. If you are inexplicably cut off, it will be even more unfair!
Most of the people who were excluded from Jinling were losers, and there were not many people who had the courage or ability to fight. Moreover, those who had the courage and ability were all attracted by the emperor as their confidants.
So, as soon as Taichang is hard, they become soft.
Bi Maoliang recommended it all, and Taichang nodded for a moment, and the left censor of the Nanjing Censorate and the six ministers of the Ministry of Justice were all decided.
At this time, Taichang finally raised his hand and said, "Okay, let's discuss here today. For other positions, wait for the heads of various yamen to take office and then discuss the court and leave the court!"
Alas, what did you discuss, you didn’t let us say a word?
The officials had no choice but to lie down and shout in unison: "Greatly send me the emperor."
Humph, I can't cure you?
Taichang snorted coldly, glanced around majesticly, then got up and walked towards the dragon chariot.
Many people will always understand after experiencing suffering and grow rapidly. Taichang has really realized a lot after being in danger in Suzhou this time.
His most important understanding is that in this chaotic world, as an emperor, he must kill decisively, otherwise, others will come to kill you decisively!
Chapter completed!
