Chapter 87 Officials collectively expressed their stance
Chapter 88 Officials collectively expressed their stance
Yang Lian was so angry that she fainted and her brain was blocked.
He specifically criticized Concubine Zheng, and he did so boldly without fear of the emperor's authority. Even if he was advised not to listen to rumors, he still criticized Concubine Zheng with all his strength.
In the end, it turned out to be filial piety for Concubine Zheng.
The whole persona has collapsed.
What a civil servant hero, Zheng Chen, who was not afraid of power, Hai Rui, who was the second most upright person...all came to nothing.
He made trouble, but in the end he served as a filial piety to Concubine Zheng.
Zhu Youxiao figured Yang Lian out.
If it hadn't been for professional psychological preparation, I'm afraid Yang Lian wouldn't have been able to help laughing out loud when he entered the trap just now.
However, Concubine Zheng actually committed suicide that night. She committed suicide after learning about Zheng Yangxing's rebellion.
It is true that she did not rebel, but she did not discuss some matters with the prince, and she almost kidnapped Li Xuanshi behind his back.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao did not save her, and committing suicide was the best outcome for both Concubine Zheng and himself.
In the end, Concubine Zheng retained her reputation. Although she was implicated in Zheng Yangxing's rebellion, it was impossible to pursue the title of Queen Mother. However, Taichang and himself asked all officials in the world to observe filial piety for her, which was really the most benevolent and righteous act.
Only Yang Lian became a clown~
He insisted on saying that Taichang and the prince were immoral, but in the end they followed the etiquette and kept filial piety for Concubine Zheng. Yang Lian was deceived by a eunuch in Wang An, but in the end he still kept filial piety for Concubine Zheng, his political enemy.
"Yang Lian is a loyal minister, but he was deceived by rumors. He was taken down for patient treatment."
In accordance with Zhu Youxiao's order, the Jin Yiwei directly carried Yang Lian out and treated him patiently, ensuring that the prince would have a good reputation and that the clown Yang Lian would not be able to die even if he wanted to.
Chief Assistant Fang Congzhe took the lead in responding: "When I know this, I must curb the rumors and prevent loyal ministers from making such mistakes."
"I will remember this," hundreds of officials expressed their stance.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Zuo Guangdou, who was the only one who was stunned and did not follow up.
"Zuo Yushi, you didn't respond. Do you want to ask, 'Why are you saying it now?', then I also want to ask why so few people participated in countering the rebellion during the rebellion?"
Coming, coming.
The civil and military officials realized that the previous three major issues were all explained by the royal family to the officials. Now it is time to discuss the rebellion the day before yesterday, and the officials must give an explanation to the Ming royal family.
They observed the prince and saw that his face was very serious, and he was obviously a little angry because of what just happened.
Yang Lian, Yang Lian, why do you have to provoke the prince to supervise the country...
In the end, all officials will be seriously questioned about their faults and responsibilities the day before yesterday, which makes everyone very nervous.
We will never give Yang Lian and the Donglin Party a good look in the future.
The positions of many neutral officials have quietly changed due to their own interests.
Zhu Youxiao looked at Zuo Guangdou. He was still stunned after being scolded, as if he didn't react. He sighed in his heart that Yang Lian of the Donglin Party, Zuo Guangdou was really good at it. Even if he didn't risk his life, he would faint.
Pretending to be dead, pretending to be stupid~
Okay, okay~
If Zuo Guangdou pretends to be stupid and doesn't respond, then I'll question your accomplice first to see if he compromises.
"Uncle Da Zong."
"I'm here."
"I believe that in accordance with the etiquette this morning, we should first say that we did not murder my father, but saved my father with the method of "Mozi". Then we will say that my father is still alive because of this. As for the death of Concubine Zheng, I must put it first.
After the two topics, is there any reason why the topic of Concubine Zheng mentioned before? This is reasonable, right?"
"Yes! Yes!" Sun Ruyou's mentality had already collapsed, and now he was trying to please him in order to get a good result.
Not everyone is like Yang Lian, risking their lives for fame.
The vast majority of civil servants must cherish their lives and covet their positions.
Or how about after the Manchus entered the customs, a large number of civil servants, including Dong Lin, surrendered to the enemy and saved their lives but not their names?
"Old Heavenly Official."
Zhou Jiamo trembled, why is it me again?
"I'm here."
"Are you clear about this? Do you need me to ask Wen Tiren to repeat it again?"
"The old minister understands. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince made it clear and clear. This matter is very clear. The old minister was confused for a moment. He listened to Wang An and Liu Yijing's random remarks and had some misunderstandings for a while."
Zhou Jiamo knows why he is always criticized. Isn't it because he has always contributed to Donglin? He is obviously very senior, no worse than the core members of Donglin, and he once served as the governor of Guangdong and fought off Annan's harassing soldiers.
, can be regarded as a hard-working official, and was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Personnel by Wanli.
What are you hanging out with, Dong Lin? With the prince, I am still one of the six teachers in name only. I am so confused thinking about going against Dong Lin, Wang An and the prince.
He is not at all the kind of censor who looks down upon death and sacrifices his life for his reputation just to criticize the emperor and gain his reputation.
Zhou Jiamo and Sun Ruyou are not the kind of people like Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou. Most of the other officials who had previously sympathized with and supported Donglin now saw that the crown prince had won, so of course they chose to side with the crown prince and cooperated obediently.
Zhu Youxiao saw that they had expressed their stance, so he came to take a closer look at this rebellion and see who should be dealt with, whose homes should be confiscated, and which departments of authority should be reorganized.
Fang Congzhe and Zhang Weixian were very happy.
They had always expected the prince to become an emperor who would revive the Ming Dynasty. Before, they thought it would take several years to train him, but now it seems that they are overthinking it~
Please help me to fight~
The day before yesterday, when facing the rebels, Zhang Weixian puffed up his beard and glared, boasting about how good he was at Haikou, but he couldn't defeat him at all. His ancestor Zhang Fu's fighting skills were completely gone...
In the end, it was able to hold back the rebel forces and stick to some of the rebels like brown candy, making the enemy very tired and unable to rest, which reduced the pressure on the prince. When Huang Jiashan arrived with the Zhejiang soldiers, he was captured instantly.
After the prince put down the rebellion, he asked him to bring people into the palace to wash the floors. Yesterday, he spent the whole day washing the floors and clearing the wood... Although it was very hard, it was also a unique trust to be able to enter the palace to finish the work. Zhang Weixian is willing to provide good assistance to His Majesty and the Crown Prince.
The same goes for Fang Congzhe.
On the night of the rebellion, in addition to being responsible for bringing Concubine Zheng to the East Palace, he also specially protected His Majesty to rest at Xuanwu Gate.
He was the first among the key ministers to know the absolutely confidential information about Emperor Taichang's survival, which shows that His Majesty and the Crown Prince are most assured of his loyalty.
"We must never betray the trust of His Majesty and the Crown Prince."
They have always been difficult to deal with radical officials such as the Donglin Party, as well as officials who constantly impeach and seek credit.
This time, the prince only needed one month to completely defeat the Donglin Party and Yan Guan.
Not only was Wang An being played by the prince from beginning to end, but Yang Lian and Wang Wenyan were also considered safe.
Such people certainly deserve their loyalty and assistance.
Zhu Youxiao lived up to his high expectations. Under the gratified eyes of Emperor Taichang, he arranged the morning court in an orderly manner, and also high-profilely rewarded a group of middle- and lower-level officials and military officials who had contributed to suppressing the rebellion.
As for the important ministers and generals, because this matter is of a large scale, it needs to be deliberated and discussed before a decision can be made.
Once the rewards are done well, the next step must be liquidation and reorganization.
Zhu Youxiao was a little excited. This time he allowed three groups of Wang Wenyan, Zheng Yangxing, and Zhu Chunchen to invade the palace. At the risk of damaging the majesty of the royal family, he also wanted to fish to deal with the rebellion, not just to catch them all, and after they were all caught.
A big purge~
Brother Steel said: If the enemy does not surrender, let him perish. I hope they surrender and cooperate obediently to cleanse themselves~
