Chapter 194 Factory guards run rampant, Daming is in danger!
"This is really unreasonable. This is simply nonsense...it is trampling on the laws and disciplines of our Ming Dynasty! The national system!"
The emotional Liu Zongzhou looked at the senior officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in front of him and expressed his own opinions on the new situation outside the Meridian Gate.
To do so is to rectify the king's mistakes and bring stability to our country, the Ming Dynasty.
Although some of the emperors in the past were bewitched by treacherous eunuchs and treacherous ministers, even if they had court officials at their side, they could not make me wise and virtuous, and they would not yield to this.
At present, the emperor is indulging the eunuchs in the inner court, unable to face up to the military regulations and admonitions, and doing such frivolous behavior. If this trend is allowed to develop, the viciousness of the factory guards will once again wreak havoc on the country.
Gentlemen, don’t you feel heartbroken?!”
As for the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, they were mostly repulsive and hostile to the eunuchs of the inner court. For these scholars, who were practicing sages and sages, the emperor valued them, and they trusted the eunuchs around them, which was against the right path and was absurd and foolish.
While Emperor Chongzhen was busy with other matters, he was making various plans to stabilize the court, making final preparations for the subsequent Yuan Chonghuan case, and purging the court according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty. It would be good to suppress the unhealthy tendencies in the temple first.
Use this to rule and govern the Ming Dynasty.
However, many ministers in the court were focused on admonishing military officials at the Meridian Gate.
I thought that by doing this, Li Changling and the others would definitely make Emperor Chongzhen see their attitude, but no one expected that such a thing would happen.
Even if the eunuchs from the inner study hall were called to lead the royal guards in court battles, it would be better than just holding the brazier one by one and chasing after the officials from the military department to kneel with them.
After all, if you really perform court battles, even if you kill one or two military officials, you will still gain fame. For the civil servants and scholars of the Ming Dynasty, every one of them valued fame more than their own lives.
"General Xian is right. Now the emperor has listened to the slanderous words of the traitors around him and has lost his true heart."
Han Jisi was also a little excited. He stretched out his hand and said, "The emperor has made it clear many times before that he not only handles affairs on military planes, but also goes to the Wenhua Palace to handle affairs with cabinet ministers.
But in fact, from the end of the imperial meeting to now, I have not seen the emperor go to the Wenhua Palace, and even the Chang Dynasty has been seriously slacking off.
The emperor is wise, but he is bewitched by the treacherous officials around him, so that he has deep doubts about all the officials in the court.
This is not a good sign!"
Standing on the heels of the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor should communicate more with them and listen to their opinions more. This will be of great benefit to the rule and governance of the Ming Dynasty.
On the contrary, if you trust the eunuchs around you easily and place great emphasis on them, that would be neglect of government, that would be stupidity. What good can a bunch of people with incomplete abilities do?
"Has the emperor forgotten about the Wei eunuchs in the Tianqi Dynasty and the poisonous factory guards that ravaged the country? Even if Yuan Chonghuan is wrong in every possible way, he should be handed over to the Tribunal for trial. How can he insist on going his own way?
He was ordered to be imprisoned and tortured by the Jinyi Guards!"
"That's right, I have heard about it during this time. The emperor established the Da Nei Xing Factory and the Xi Ji Shi Factory. They used the emperor's order to clean up the imperial village under the name of the inner court, but they embezzled private land. In this way, they wanted to claim credit from the emperor. Beizhi
In many of the eight provinces under Li's rule, people are filled with resentment."
"I have also heard about this. What kind of existence are those in the inner factory and the western factory? They are the cancer of our Ming Dynasty. The emperor was so wise before, how could he do such a stupid thing now."
"The military department is also admonishing at the Meridian Gate this time. The purpose is to get the emperor's consent to rectify the affairs of the two palace guards based on the discussion of the military aircraft department. It would be better to start slowly. After all, the country has just experienced war before, and everything is to stabilize the situation.
Being important does not mean that I want to refute the emperor's decree on rewards.
But according to what I know, the Jinyiwei commander Li Ruolian has led a group of Jinyiwei out of the capital and has gone to Shuntian and Yongping Prefectures, preparing to forcibly arrest the guards officers involved."
Under the leadership of Liu Zongzhou and Han Jisi, the senior officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who gathered here were all excited and recounted what the current factory guard forces were doing under the instructions of Emperor Chongzhen.
Regarding what they said, how much was true and how much was false, but there was no corresponding source, yet each one of them complained so excitedly.
"This trend must not prevail in our Ming Dynasty!"
Liu Zongzhou stood up as he slapped the case, his sword eyebrows raised and he said: "I was previously awarded the honor of Doctor Guanglu by Your Majesty. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, I must not just watch your Majesty make one mistake after another.
I remember how wise Your Majesty was at that time when he decided to punish Wei Eun's lackeys and minions one by one at the beginning of his reign.
Now……"
When talking about this, Liu Zongzhou really couldn't go on. In fact, deep down in his heart, he couldn't understand why the emperor had changed so much.
The Wei eunuch of the Apocalypse Dynasty poisoned the government and the public, and how much damage he caused to the Ming Dynasty. Many good ministers and heroes died tragically at the hands of Wei Zhongxian.
The Six Gentlemen of Donglin.
The Seven Gentlemen of Donglin.
They were all loyal men for the country, but they all died tragically at the hands of Wei Eunuch, while Emperor Tianqi was deceived and convicted of various crimes.
Emperor Chongzhen's behavior of not trusting the ministers of the court and trusting the factory guards was something that Liu Zongzhou could never tolerate and would never allow.
Especially Yuan Chonghuan, who has been implicated in many cases, is currently being held in prison. According to the vicious thoughts of Jin Yiwei, he will definitely not take matters lightly.
"I have made a decision to go to the Meridian Gate and work with the military commanders to dispel the group of eunuchs in the inner study hall!"
Liu Zongzhou, who was thinking a lot, looked at the officials in front of him with a cold expression and said: "If you can't bear the poisonous trend of the imperial guards, please go with me. This is an act to correct the king.
We must not back down, I would like to thank you all here."
Having said that, Liu Zongzhou, the majestic President of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, actually bowed his hands to a group of senior officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This made Han Jisi and other people from different backgrounds deeply touched.
On this matter, their political demands were unanimous. No matter what, Emperor Chongzhen could never be asked to reuse the forces of the factory guards.
If this trend cannot be contained, then who can guarantee that in the Chongzhen Dynasty, there will be another "Wei eunuch" who will always be by the emperor's side, and he will naturally gain the emperor's trust.
They really didn't want to experience the feeling of being suppressed by Wei Zhongxian of the Tianqi Dynasty again. With various thoughts and feelings, many senior officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, under the leadership of Liu Zongzhou, moved towards
