Chapter 125 Your Majesty, please ask King Qi to thank you for your sins!
In March of the twelfth year of Yongle, the emperor returned to Beijing.
After His Majesty Yongle returned from victory in Mobei, he first stunned the prince and the Han Dynasty with a set of five lightning whips, and then appointed King Qi as the supervisor of the country. He relieved all his burdens and ran to Jiming Temple to have some leisure time.
.
After living in Jiming Temple for several months, during which major events such as the imprisonment of more than 40 important officials and the paralysis of Jin Yiwei occurred, His Majesty Yongle was able to be patient and wait for the capital to fall into a brief calm before returning to take charge of the overall situation.
In the morning for the first time after returning to Beijing, His Majesty Yongle was leaning on the golden armchair, leisurely waiting to listen to the quarrels among the officials.
Zhu Gaojie stretched his waist and waited for the Han Dynasty Party to impeach him.
The emperor's return to Beijing was the source of the chaos. Today's morning meeting, the Han Party may be unable to hold on any longer and will begin a full-scale counterattack.
And Zhu Gaojie and the prince will join forces to suppress the King of Han and drive him out of the capital!
But everything has not started yet. Suddenly, a fifth-grade official in blue robes and white squirrels stood up. First he kowtowed to His Majesty the Emperor unhurriedly, and then said with determination: "I am so lonely and guilty, I am guilty of this, Zheng Zhichang."
, please present to Your Majesty the seven deadly sins of King Qi!"
"First, the prince accepted the service of the general and colluded with Chi Rong, the former admiral of the Three Thousand Battalion!"
"Secondly, they supervise the country but do not implement personnel affairs. They actually turned a blind eye to the Fuzhou hurricane!"
"Third, frame up officials in the capital and frame up Jin Yiwei Luo Xiu for treason!"
"Fourth, jealousy of the wise and capable, one thing will lead to death!"
"Fifth, there are countless internal and external ministers who have been deposed because of their injuries. This is the authority that specializes in deposing them!"
"Sixth, he allowed his subordinate Lu Chaoyang to be violent and violent. Shandong was severely tortured by him, and there were mountains of corpses everywhere!"
"The seventh one is to monopolize power to cover up the world!"
"After the seven sins have been interrogated, I would like to ask your majesty to interrogate King Qi to thank the world!"
Zheng Zhichang kowtowed heavily on his forehead, and the gold brick was stained with blood!
As soon as the voice fell, the entire court was shocked by Zheng Zhichang's remarks.
Zhu Di stroked his beard and glanced at everyone with interest.
Zheng Zhichang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, was a member of the fifth rank and came from the prince's command.
Zhu Gaojie looked at the prince in confusion.
What does it mean?
I'm ready to join forces with you to suppress the King of Han. Why don't you wait until the King of Han leaves the capital to deal with it? Why do you have to come and deal with me now?
The prince also looked confused, as if he didn't know anything about it.
Zhu Gaojie frowned slightly, could it be that... Zheng Zhichang's move was not authorized by the prince?
Is your prince a loser? He can't even control his own people?
Then, Zhu Gaojie looked at the King of Han again, only to find that the King of Han smiled, as if his conspiracy had succeeded.
…
Zheng Zhichang, a native of Taiyuan, Shanxi, was born in the first year of Hongwu. His father was engaged in the great and glorious practical application of food philosophy and the origin of cultural production in the Central Plains. He was commonly known as a "farmer", but he was not a farmer who owned his own land, but a dependent farmer.
A tenant who works for the landlord.
Fortunately, there was a good emperor in the era when Zheng Zhichang was born, at least he was a good emperor.
That good emperor is called Zhu Yuanzhang.
Emperor Taizu Gao was born in poverty and knew that tenant farmers were the most miserable. In order to prevent landlords from transferring official labor to tenant farmers and tenants earning nothing from their hard work, Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that those who have a lot of land and few people should use tenants as tenants.
For corvee labor, the landowner must contribute one meter per stone to cover its expenses.
From then on, tenant farmers in the Ming Dynasty got rid of their personal dependence on the landlord and could terminate the tenancy contract according to their own wishes. At the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang strongly encouraged land reclamation and stipulated that all land reclaimed from wasteland could be exempted from rent and taxes for the first three years. In
Under this background, tenant farmers broke away from the landlords and started cultivating land on their own, and the number of tenant households was greatly reduced.
No matter whether this system will be corrupted in the future or the landlords and gentry will find loopholes and end up being in vain, at least in the Hongwu Dynasty, this system was implemented. I am grateful to the great Taizu Gao Emperor for his great mercy and supreme merit.
Zheng Zhichang's father also changed from an exploited tenant to a farmer with his own land. The family conditions improved instantly. Zheng Zhichang was able to have the opportunity to study and take scientific examinations.
In the Shanxi Provincial Examination in the 17th year of Hongwu's reign, Zheng Zhichang passed the examination, and in the General Examination in the 18th year of Hongwu's reign, he passed the Jinshi examination.
After becoming a Jinshi, Zheng Zhichang was assigned to work in the Autumn Trial Division of the Ministry of Punishment. Due to his withdrawn personality and his poor background, he could not interact with the people above him, so he remained unknown.
In the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu's reign, Zheng Zhichang was transferred to the Ministry of Rites and promoted to wailang. This position lasted for twenty years. Even if Jianwen ascended the throne or Yongle changed dynasties, Zheng Zhichang was never promoted or demoted.
.
Emperor Hongwu wanted to keep him until the Jianwen dynasty to use him again. Emperor Jianwen was forced to give up the throne before he could promote him. Emperor Yongle wanted to accept Zheng Zhichang as a party member because he had never made any mistakes, big or small, and the crown prince appreciated him.
It was not convenient for the emperor to use the knife, but he disliked Zheng Zhichang's status as an old minister of Jianwen and did not want to promote him.
In the spring, summer, autumn and winter, when the summer passes and the cold comes, the child prodigy who was promoted to Jinshi at the age of nineteen spent twenty years in the fifth-rank official position. For twenty years, he worked conscientiously every day without any external factors or inner thoughts.
Don't be dissatisfied with laziness, work hard to do this job well, don't ask for appreciation from others, just seek to establish your heart.
In the 22nd year of Yongle, Zheng Zhichang, who had been cautious all his life, burned incense and bathed, put on his court clothes and official hat, and calmly walked to Fengtian Hall to attend the morning court. No one could have imagined that this transparent, fifth-grade civil servant would have to do something like this.
A big event that will shock you all!
If you accuse King Qi, you will be impeached to death!
Impeachment was very common in the Ming Dynasty. Whenever you had nothing to do, you would impeach your enemy. Which civil and military official in the Manchu Dynasty didn't carry more than a dozen impeachment memorials on his body? The Jin Yiwei governor Lu Chaoyang impeached him.
I'm afraid that there have to be thousands of copies. Instead of sitting still, Luo Xiu deceived him in the end and sent him to prison to await trial?
Life has to go on, and being impeached is no big deal. I was impeached in the morning, and in the evening I went to the Qinhuai River to drink wine.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, death impeachment is different. Death impeachment is an impeachment that goes on to death and burns with the opponent!
…
This buddy Zheng Zhichang came here just to play with his life.
This was the first thought in Zhu Gaojie's mind.
He couldn't figure it out. How many benefits did the King of Han give him to make the prince's people work so hard?
In the face of life and death, any plot will reveal its flaws.
What Zhu Gaojie was best at was using this crude method to suddenly break the deadlock at critical moments and create opportunities for himself. He used this method to fool the King of Han twice in a row, once with "Blood Splattered on Fengtian Palace" and once with "Night".
"The Guards in Imperial Clothes".
But now the King of Han learned wisely and used King Qi's moves to deal with King Qi.
Even if you try your best to deal with it, I will only use one move to kill you!
The king of Han looked at each other coldly, waiting for King Qi to make a move.
They are all brothers, so of course they have to use all their strength to kill each other!
…
Zhu Gaojie's mind was running rapidly, analyzing how to create the most favorable environment for him.
He had long expected that the King of Han's people would impeach him in today's morning court, but what Zhu Gaojie didn't expect was that the person who impeached him would be someone poached from the princelings by the King of Han, and he would also resort to death penalty.
This Prince of Han is really not that simple.
On the surface, it seems that there is no difference whether it is the Han Dynasty or the princeling party. Anyway, they are all impeached to death, and it will be the same no matter who they are. In fact, there is still a big problem. Zheng Zhichang used to work in the East Palace.
, and he is a die-hard princeling. Now Zheng Zhichang, a die-hard princeling, has betrayed him, which has a great influence on the coalition forces between Prince Qi's Palace and the East Palace. Zhu Gaojie and the prince can understand that they will not have any grudges, but the people under their command will not
Likewise, it is inevitable that military morale will be shaken.
The most important thing is that most of the people in Prince Qi's palace are from the kinship faction, and they don't actually have a big say in political struggles. In party disputes in the court, Zhu Gaojie still has to rely on the power of the prince. In this way, the princelings have rebelled against Zheng Zhichang.
Morale is low. Today's morning meeting is by no means just a physical battle, but more of a psychological battle.
The most urgent task is to deal with this early dynasty, wait until the dynasty retreats, and then revive people's hearts and choose the opportunity to attack.
"What nonsense!"
At this time, Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, stood up, pointed at Zheng Zhichang and angrily shouted, "You, this arrogant and ignorant scholar, may be suffering from hysteria. You actually slandered the prince in the Jinluan Palace. You should be executed!"
Zhu Yong, the son of Zhu Neng, King of Dongping. In the fifth year of Yongle, he ascended the throne of Duke of Chengguo. He later took charge of the governor's office and stayed in the capital. He was one of the leaders of the Xunqi faction.
As the successor of the British Army, Zhu Gaojie had repeatedly made military exploits and had a high prestige in the military. He was a natural ally with the Xunqi faction. In the final analysis, Zhu Gaojie's greatest aid was these Xunqi.
No matter how busy Zhu Gaojie is on weekdays, he will still take time out every month to drink and have fun with these relatives. It seems extravagant, but in fact it is to stabilize the relationship with the faction of the ancestors.
But the relatives did not let Zhu Gaojie down and stepped forward at the critical moment.
This is not to say that the honorary relatives are very loyal, but because as long as King Qi stands upright, they can obtain the greatest benefits.
"Zheng Zhichang, you have mentioned seven deadly sins. You are bluffing. Do you have any evidence?"
The British Duke Zhang Fu said with a calm expression, "You said that King Qi colluded with Chirong, the former admiral of the Three Thousand Battalion. We know that King Qi once personally led the Fengzi Battalion's 800 brave cavalry, and Chirong served as King Qi's deputy general, and destroyed Oara in Mobei.
Make great achievements to capture King Anle and kill King Shuning?"
"You said that King Qi ignored the hurricane in Fuzhou. Did you know that when the hurricane in Fuzhou dissipated in the future, King Qi ordered Lord Xia Yuan Jixia, the Minister of Household Affairs, to manage the disaster and prevent the loss of the imperial court from spreading?"
"You said that King Qi framed Jin Yiwei Luo Xiu for treason, but did you know that King Qi searched Luo Xiu's house and found letters between two hundred Gongnu Jiawei and countless Jin Yiwei collusion letters?"
"You say that King Qi is jealous of the virtuous and capable, and if you do so, you will definitely die. Do you know that King Qi appoints virtuous ministers, holds the seal to supervise the country, and treats virtuous subordinates?"
"You said that King Qi had the authority to depose She, but do you know that when King Qi was in charge of the country, he delegated power to six ministries and nine ministers to appoint major responsibilities?"
"You said that King Qi allowed his subordinate Lu Chaoyang to be violent in Shandong. Do you know how many corrupt officials Lu Chaoyang killed in Shandong and was assassinated thousands of times by officials and narrowly escaped death?"
"You say that King Qi monopolizes power, but do you know that King Qi supervises the country, and there are only a few palace officials working in the Wenhua Palace and the Royal Study Room, and he never loves power?"
