Chapter 406: Please impeach again and ask for the establishment of a supervisory army
However, the military attachés acted very calmly this time.
They just watched calmly as a large number of civil servants knelt on the ground and launched the impeachment against Zhang Zhiyuan.
It seems that Zhang Zhiyuan does not belong to the military attache team of the Ming Dynasty.
The officials were determined to be tough in front of the emperor this time.
Sun Gou'er, who was standing in the corner on the top floor of the imperial palace, glanced at the group of ministers in the imperial court. He clasped his hands, lowered his eyes, and silently turned sideways, looking at the dragon chair sitting on the throne.
of the emperor.
As long as His Majesty the Emperor gives an order, his grandson Gou'er can call on the surrounding imperial guards to send all these confused officials to prison.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, had no trace of anger on his face, and even had a smile on his face.
He just stared at the officials in front of his Majesty's steps quietly and said nothing.
Crown Prince Zhu Biao sat aside, looking a little surprised.
It's unreasonable for me to be completely ignorant about today's events.
Zhu Biao looked sideways at His Majesty. Among the people kneeling to impeach Zhang Zhiyuan, there were actually several people from Zhan Shifu in the East Palace who appeared in Zhu Biao's sight.
These people are all old people from Zhan Shifu. They have talked about everything in the past, but at this moment they are quietly supporting the impeachment.
Officials are disloyal to themselves.
Zhu Biao couldn't help but look up at the old man on the dragon throne.
Only the old man can decide and resolve what happened today.
Xia Yuanji quietly moved to Xie Jin's side, clasping his hands together, but with a bit of excitement on his face: "I'm afraid that your student in the official department will be busy after a while."
Jie Jin frowned and turned to look at Xia Yuanji: "How can there be so many manpower available? I hope your majesty won't be too angry this time."
"They are trying to force the palace, do you think His Majesty can spare them?" Xia Yuanji was somewhat disapproving, curling his lips and twitching in his eyes.
Xie Jin's eyes were dark: "They are afraid."
"Scared?"
Xia Yuanji muttered, and then his face showed an expression of sudden realization.
He whispered: "They are afraid of Confucianism..."
Jie Jin indeed stared at Xia Yuanji with a vague gaze: "Brother Wei Zhe, are you afraid?"
Xie Jin spoke very quietly, but it was enough for Xia Yuanji to hear every word clearly.
There was confusion on his face, and he shook his head silently.
"That family in Qufu is at fault, so let's judge the crime accordingly. If the world's cultural context is implicated because of this... this is the foundation of our Central Plains China for thousands of years!"
Xie Jin sneered: "Why do you think Zhang Zhiyuan took tens of thousands of troops and horses to Qufu?"
"I heard that he had repeatedly performed extraordinary feats under the command of King Yan and was deeply loved by King Yan. If it hadn't been for the rebellion in the Central Plains this year, he would have been a vanguard general in the expedition beyond the Great Wall."
Xie Jin nodded and said: "That's the truth. In that case, Zhang Zhiyuan must know how to completely solve the Shandong Road matter. In this case, what did the Kong family do?"
Xia Yuanji learned from Jie Jin and looked at the emperor above his rank.
He whispered: "No matter what, when I become an official, I will be an official in the Ming Dynasty."
This can be regarded as an answer to Xie Jin’s question at the beginning.
Xie Jin nodded immediately, with a look of relief on his face.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was being held up by hundreds of officials at the imperial gate, finally took action.
Zhu Yuanzhang crossed his arms, holding the sleeves of his robe with one hand, and shook his arms outwards.
He glanced casually: "What do the officials think of this matter?"
Zhai Shan, the current Minister of Civil Affairs, who felt that he was about to follow in the footsteps of Zhan Hui, the former Minister of Civil Affairs, immediately trembled when he heard the emperor's voice coming from the stairs. He bowed and held the Wat board in his arms and left the train.
"I am a scholar of the Wenhua Palace and a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Zhai Shan is here."
Zhai Shan lowered his head and kept turning his eyes.
Obviously, the emperor asked him to reply because he hoped that he could say something that was in line with his wishes but was difficult to say in person.
Zhai Shan searched for words, thinking about the situation on Shandong Road, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I thought I could take another look."
As soon as he said these words, the whole place immediately started to whisper.
Zhu Yuanzhang, on the other hand, was as steady as a mountain. He just stared at His Majesty, the Minister of Civil Affairs of the Ming Dynasty, quietly.
Zhai Shan breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "Although I don't understand military matters, I also know that the battlefield is changing rapidly. Perhaps Zhang Zhiyuan seized some fighting opportunities, so he behaved as he did today.
If the court officials were worried, they sent a letter to Shandong to inquire about Zhang Zhiyuan and ordered him to write clearly what he wanted to do.
Furthermore, today I only heard about it, but no one from the Confucius family wrote it in person, let alone the memorial of Yan Shenggong. How can we conclude that what Zhang Zhiyuan did was a traitor?
Finally, I also believe that Shandong is close to Henan Road and as far away as Tiancheng. At this moment, the emperor's grandson is in Henan Road and has the same authority as His Majesty. It seems that Zhang Zhiyuan has important military affairs and military strategies, so he should present them to His Highness.
So I thought it would be better to take another look?"
Zhu Yuanzhang, who just wanted to get a buffer opportunity, would not delve into the reasons given by Zhai Shan in public. After all, he was a member of the Six Ministers, so what he said naturally made sense.
Zhu Yuanzhang directly patted the armrest and said: "What Zhai Qing said makes sense, so let's take a look at it based on what you said."
Most of the civil servants in Yingtian City knelt in front of him today. This was different from the previous remonstrances, but just like when he deposed the prime minister who had held the position for thousands of years.
Direct killing will not solve the problem, so that is the last step.
Last time, they opposed the deposing of the prime minister, fearing that the emperor's authority was too grand, which led to a long confrontation and killings.
In the same way, what they object to is not the arrogance of the soldiers and the failure to eliminate local rebellions.
They are worried that the thousand-year-old family of saints will collapse under the hooves of horses. This will herald that the thousand-year-old Confucianism will be like when the prime minister was deposed.
They are even more worried about what will happen to them and their descendants if they, the disciples of a sage family, lack a sage's teachings that they can use at will.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! From the beginning of the Han Dynasty when Wu only respected Confucianism, to the Sui and Tang Dynasties when the imperial examination was launched to obtain officials, and finally in the two Song Dynasties, the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats shared the world.
All rules and social operations are centered around the Confucian system.
Is the Ming Dynasty going to do something like deposing hundreds of schools of thought and only respecting Confucianism?
Zhu Yuanzhang denied this possibility in his heart.
However, the reaction of the officials made him very dissatisfied. These people just heard a little bit of news and made such a big noise.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes wandered back and forth on Yu Xin, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Wang Jun, the Minister of Industry.
As Zhu Yuanzhang expected, the two did not comply.
Yu Xin knelt down, kowtowed, and shouted: "I am here to remonstrate with you. Arrogant soldiers must be guarded against, and domineering soldiers must be punished. If today your majesty can condone the Ming army and horses to rebel and harass Duke Yansheng's mansion. In the future, if A large army was surprised in the forbidden area of the palace, what did your majesty think?"
"Be bold!"
"Yu Xin, you are arrogant!"
Zhu Biao, who had been silent all this time, finally became so angry that he clapped his hands on the armrests of the chair, stood up and angrily criticized Yu Xin's bold actions and arrogant words.
Yu Xin lowered his head again, but he was not timid: "Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, there are more than 20,000 civil servants in the Ming Dynasty, and countless pen-wielding clerks. There are as many as stars in the world every year who take the exam, and those who are diligent in studying and reading in local places are considered to be the backbone. .
The imperial court governs the world with benevolence and filial piety, but it commits violent acts in the home of the most holy teacher. It supports its own troops and does not obey orders. There is no holy teacher and no laws in the court.
If Your Majesty does not punish Zhang Zhiyuan and others, what will the millions of Confucian scholars in the world think? What will the people of the world think?
I will die to remonstrate with you, to maintain the Ming Dynasty, and to worry about the country. Please your Majesty to severely punish Zhang Zhiyuan and others with the death penalty!"
After Yu Xin finished speaking, the officials kneeling in front of Fengtian Hall once again voiced their support like a tsunami.
Zhu Biao looked back at his old man.
The old man who emerged from the bloody storm seemed to have no regard for the death remonstrances of these people.
Zhu Biao had a sullen face and said displeasedly: "How dare you accuse someone in front of the emperor."
Wang Jun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, raised his head to look at the Crown Prince on the steps, and bowed to the ground deeply with just one glance.
"Your Majesty, Wang Jun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, impeaches again the rebellion in Henan Province and Shandong Province, in which officers and soldiers from the local garrison were involved. They were arrogant and massacred, causing harm to the local area, causing the people to suffer disasters and become homeless.
If I dare to impeach the officers and soldiers of the local rebel garrison, the court should punish him with death to frighten the disobedience of the people in the world.
I have the courage to remonstrate and ask Your Majesty to appoint the Ming Dynasty Supervisor of the Army, with the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Procuratorate as the key points. The imperial court will send supervisors to the army to supervise the external armies on behalf of the emperor and the court to prevent the occurrence of disasters."
"I second the proposal!"
The roaring sound of Baiguan Mountain in front of Fengtian Palace shouted loudly, and the sound of support shook the distant Zhongshan Forest Birds from circling around.
"It turns out they were here for this..."
Xia Yuanji sighed in a low voice.
Among the civil servants, only Xinxue officials and a small number of officials who had not participated in the impeachment were left.
This represents the collective attitude of civil servants.
"presumptuous!"
"Be bold!"
"How dare you?"
For a time, the military attachés who had been silent at first were in an uproar. Generals who commanded tens of millions of troops and expanded territories angrily turned toward Wang Jun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who proposed to set up a supervisory army.
Dongguan Bo He Rong said directly: "Wang Shangshu wants me to restore the old affairs of the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty?"
"Today we supervise the army, and tomorrow we will prepare the formation plan. Do you doubt our loyalty to His Majesty? Supervise the army and use the military formation to constrain the generals. At that time, it will be us who lead the troops in the war, or you who will lead the Ming Dynasty's thousands of armies. Ten thousand horses!"
Chang Sen and Tang Li, who were in the front row of military attachés, looked at each other, both feeling helpless.
These poor civil servants are so ill-intentioned and ill-intentioned because of their excessive study.
Is this to surround Wei and rescue Zhao?
The two of them clasped their fists together and knelt down.
"Chen Changsen!"
"Chen Tang Li!"
"I have received the emperor's favor and enjoyed honors and honors in the world. When I left, I became a general, and when I entered, I became a wealthy man. All these are given by Your Majesty, and I am grateful from the bottom of my heart. The importance of the country, the country, and the country is more important than Mount Tai. I When I say this, I only have loyalty in my heart, and everything will be decided by Your Majesty."
The main vocalist was Tang Li, shouting very high-pitched, while Chang Sen echoed the shouting from the side. Since there was no discussion, he could only echo slower, which seemed a bit like a duet.
Let the voice become louder and louder, echoing in front of Fengtian Hall.
He Rong and others also reacted, and immediately put away their previous noise, lowered their heads silently, and knelt on the square floor tiles with fists clasped together like Chang Sen and Tang Li.
At this time, Wang Jun lowered his head and looked sideways at the military attache train.
There are many reckless men in the army, but not all of them are stupid, especially the meritorious generals of the Ming Dynasty who can appear here.
Wang Jun refused to give up.
He had already made up his mind to rescue the Confucius family in Qufu, one of which was to ensure that this statue of the saint could continue to provide assistance to current and future generations. He implicated the participation of officers and soldiers from the imperial garrison in the local rebellion, and took the opportunity to propose dispatching by the imperial court. The matter of supervising the army is the second.
Nowadays, the imperial court occasionally sends out large armies to install supervisory troops, but this is not mentioned in name.
This is the self-confidence of the founding emperor. He led his people to conquer the world. None of the generals in the country ate in a big iron pot.
Wang Jun continued: "Soldiers have no permanent momentum, and water has no permanent shape. Your Majesty and the generals and soldiers are in the military formation, trusting each other's backs. The ministers are happy and relieved that our king and ministers are in harmony, and everyone is united. However, the Ming Dynasty will have an eternal legacy, and future generations will Can your descendants be as good as your Majesty? I think that there will be no master in our Ming Dynasty who can be like your Majesty in appearance, nor can he have the great achievements in culture, politics and martial arts that your Majesty has created throughout his life."
"I am stupid, but fortunately I have been favored by Your Majesty, who has been added to the Sixth Department and is now an official. How dare I not think about your Majesty, how can our Ming Dynasty be prosperous for eternity? I can't sleep at night, for fear that the country will be in turmoil and the people will suffer disaster."
"The country has its own laws. The merchant kings of the pre-Qin Dynasty set up a pole as a letter, clearly stated the canonical punishments, and strictly enforced the names of the punishments. But if there is any lawlessness, the emperor will also sin himself."
"There are rebellions all over Henan Province, and the officers and soldiers of the prefecture and county guards are involved in a wide range of areas. If they are not severely punished, it will not be enough to deter the Ming Dynasty. It should also be treated like a river, and the broken areas need to be blocked and reinforced. In order to prevent the imperial court from another rebellion, ministers and others After reflection, the only feasible solution is to enforce military law."
"The method of supervising the army has existed since ancient times and is not unique to the two Song dynasties. Why should we supervise the army? We should review the wisdom of our predecessors and implement it in parallel with the present, so as to prevent the recurrence of the old affairs of the two Song dynasties and prevent local officers and soldiers from losing control."
After Wang Jun made a long speech, Yu Xin, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance who was kneeling beside him, raised his head.
The generals on the other side were already itching their teeth with hatred.
When it comes to speaking, these scholars must be the best at speaking, and what they say must be clear and logical.
If Chang Sen and Tang Li hadn't been present today, there would have been a full-scale martial arts show in front of Fengtian Hall.
Or a one-sided beating.
Yu Xin glanced at the meritorious military generals in Beijing, clasped his hands and bowed to the throne.
"Your Majesty, the majesty of the imperial court's laws cannot be compromised. A family of saints has taught the Central Plains for thousands of years, but they cannot be humiliated and humiliate Confucius."
"Zhang Zhiyuan did not respect the decree of suppressing the rebellion. He took orders and supported the troops. He was arrogant and domineering and acted wantonly. He besieged the Confucius Mansion, spent gunpowder and ignored the rebellion."
"People like Zhang Zhiyuan, who have no eyes for kings and no saints, delay the opportunity to fight and waste their troops and horses."
"My lord, please kill Zhang Zhiyuan to rectify the court's laws."
"Your Majesty, please issue an edict to appease Duke Yansheng's Mansion and restore the integrity of the country."
There were no more voices of support, but the officials silently kowtowed to the ground.
In front of the Fengtian Palace, the emperor and his ministers reached a deadlock.
Xia Yuanji was in a daze for a while, and his eyes fell on Yu Xin, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance from time to time.
After looking at it for a few times, I felt it was a bit boring, so I looked at Xie Jin beside me: "Your students, I am afraid that this time they will all fall into His Majesty's eyes."
As he said that, Xia Yuanji turned to look at the young officials standing behind him in the civil service train.
Jie Jin shook his head and said: "They are still young, it is better to just wear ears at this time."
After finishing speaking, Xie Jin also turned around and looked at the group of students behind him, led by Bai Yuxiu. He shook his head gently, and then resumed everything.
Xia Yuanji hummed twice and didn't care about it.
He wanted to throw out a student from Jie Jin to break the current deadlock. Even if he would be resented by the officials in the court for a while, His Majesty would definitely keep it in mind.
That means Jane is in the emperor's heart.
In fact, what Xia Yuanji hopes most is that Bai Yuxiu, who has just taken the post of director of the Literary and Selection Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, can step forward at this time and break the deadlock.
Xie Jin was very protective of his calf.
Xia Yuanji seemed to think that this was just a calculation of gains and losses, but he thought that his students may not be high officials, but they must act fairly and brightly.
Being down-to-earth is the foundation of spiritual learning.
Zhu Biao on the steps was full of anger, but could not easily vent it.
Regal power is not established simply by shouting, beating, shouting and killing. Kingliness and domineering go hand in hand, there are spring breezes and rains, and there are thunders.
What was said in today's impeachment of hundreds of officials can be said to be well-founded, but it is just different from the national policy currently chosen by the royal family.
Zhu Biao didn't need to look back to know how angry the calm old man behind him must be at this moment.
Just like when the prime minister was deposed.
At that time, it could be said that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty were opposed.
In an instant, Zhu Biao thought of countless ways to end today's imperial court.
Just in a place no one expected.
I saw a bright red embroidered regimental dragon dress coming in from the south of Fengtian Gate.
"His Majesty!"
"Father..."
"father."
"father……"
"Save the child quickly."
Amidst a series of howls, His Royal Highness, the noble King of Qin of the Ming Dynasty, the second legitimate son of the clan, appeared in everyone's field of vision in an unusual but very consistent way with his personality.
Sitting on the dragon chair in front of Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang hummed and chuckled twice.
Zhu Biao also turned around and looked at the old man, and then looked at Zhu Lao Er who was babbling and running towards here.
Zhu Xiang ran all the way, regardless of who was blocking him, he ran straight up the steps. Behind him were the palace guards and the palace servants who were waiting for Zhu Xiang. Seeing that Prince Qin didn't care, he
They ran in many directions, but they were afraid that something would happen to Prince Qin, so they followed Zhu Ping and kept shouting.
But Zhu Feng decided to make a desperate choice and ran from the middle position in front of the steps of Fengtian Hall to the steps.
For a moment, the entire crowd in front of Fengtian Hall stood on their backs.
Zhu Fang has been in the feudal gates all year round, and he is fat and strong. When he runs around, those weak civil servants can't bear it.
Plus the imperial guards and chamberlains following Zhu Xi.
All the officials who went on duty to carry out impeachment proceedings were basically arrested in one fell swoop.
But Zhu Xi ran all the way to the foot of the steps, then lay down on the steps and climbed to the top using his hands and feet.
"Dad, please save your son quickly!"
Zhu Xiang kept shouting, and his face was covered with sweat.
He had no idea that behind him, countless officials were in chaos because of him.
