Although Emperor Taichang Zhu Changluo is in good spirits, his body has been weak and weak.
After all, severe cerebral infarction was treated with a bezoar and an electric shock. Fortunately, it played a role in extending life. However, the body itself is weak and the fundamental problem of brain damage after cerebral infarction cannot be changed.
He is temporarily unable to continue his morning pilgrimage.
"My dear lords, I am ill, and I am very happy to see you all this morning. I will go and have a rest, and you can work well according to the arrangements of the Crown Prince. I hope that you will put an end to the rumors, calm down, reform the long-standing shortcomings, and revive the Ming Dynasty." "I obey the decree."
Emperor Taichang was helped into the Huangji Gate Hall.
Zhu Youxiao continued to preside over the morning court.
Liu Ruoyu, the new eunuch in charge of the ceremony, was ordered to sort out the details of the rebellion.
"On August 30th, His Highness the Supervisor of the main events has introduced that the new Eunuch Liu Ruoyu, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, has been ordered to sort it out again. Please remember it clearly and don't be affected by rumors."
He, who has changed his name from Liu Shimin to Liu Ruoyu, has been burdened with many secrets and there are many truths that he cannot tell, so he is asked to be "as wise as he is foolish".
The officials are relatively accepting of the new eunuch.
In the eyes of everyone, Wang An is a eunuch who is close to civil servants, but his writing skills are limited, he is not very smart, and he is impatient in his work.
The former Liu Shimin and the current Liu Ruoyu are a real literary eunuch, who studied under the eunuch Chen Ju who was a literary eunuch and was close to civil servants. Of course, this person is more popular among civil servants except the Donglin Party.
Liu Ruoyu's eyes were flat and he said what the Ming royal family said about the rebellion:
"Since August, Wang An, the eunuch in charge of the former Chief of Ceremonies, and Wang Wenyan, a retainer, have been afraid of the prince's improvement in status, and have begun to spread rumors that are unfavorable to the prince and Concubine Zheng.
He conspired with officials such as Liu Yijing, the second assistant, Zhang Wenda, the imperial censor of the Zuodu, Wang Zuo, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Song Shixiang of the Shuntian Prefecture, Zhang Fengxiang, the doctor of the Literature and Selection Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Hui Shiyang, the Yanguan, to prepare for the rebellion. p>
The left governor Zheng Yangxing was threatened by rumors and bribed Wang An for safety, and was induced to launch a mutiny. He himself had long had ambitions to support King Fu. Therefore, the rebels actually appeared as two different groups, using each other and fighting each other. p>
The censors, Yanguan and Imperial College were most affected by the rumors. Some important ministers also questioned the prince because of the rumors. Some of them came to support from afar, and some were deceived into entering the palace together to attack the East Palace in an attempt to murder his majesty and the prince. There were even some from the Beijing camp and Xuanfu.
Officials and soldiers participated, and a small number of soldiers were induced to rebel."
Good guy, as expected, Zhang Jingshi, the governor of Xuanfu, happened to be at Juyongguan. It was no coincidence that he rushed to the rescue at dawn...
Smarter officials guessed that a big change was coming.
Those involved include servants, ministers of rites, Jinyiwei, Ministry of Industry, Metropolitan Inspectorate, Ministry of Personnel, Dongchang, Jingying, Xuanfu, Taixue and Liukelang...
Needless to say, these places will undergo major reshuffles.
After Liu Ruoyu sorted it out, Zhu Youxiao decided to put a little more pressure on the officials.
"On the night when the thieves rebelled, what was your attitude? How many people worked hard to destroy the thieves? How many people were preparing to change their families?"
As soon as these three questions were asked, the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Sure enough, after suppressing the rebellion, there must be a purge.
"Old Heavenly Official, what officials did you choose for your father? How come all the doctors in the Literary Selection Department have rebelled?" Zhu Youxiao said this sentence abruptly.
"Ah! I'm guilty! I'm guilty of a serious crime. Please punish me, His Royal Highness!" Zhou Jiamo felt cold and quickly knelt down, knowing that it was still over...
"The Heavenly Official can think about how to make amends." Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhou Jiamo. According to Brother Gang, there is no need to rush to eliminate this opponent who will give in and surrender, but should use more residual heat. p>
He then asked: "When the Heavenly Official left the palace that day, why didn't he participate in the suppression of the rebels?"
Zhou Jiamo had no choice but to answer truthfully: "There was a sudden rebellion in the middle of the night. There were imperial guards, patrolling censors, and Shuntian Prefecture involved. It was impossible to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy for a while. The old minister was useless and allowed Zhang Fengxiang of the Literature and Selection Department to take advantage of the loophole. He was not able to find out that he was inciting officials and
Scholar."
"Well said!"
The sudden compliment frightened Zhou Jiamo and he didn't know whether it was a genuine compliment or a sarcasm. He was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head.
Zhu Youxiao wanted Zhou Jiamo to become a de facto meritorious person like Zhu Chunchen, specializing in charging into the battle to change people and make big speculators.
After all, a bad-tempered official minister can play a big role if used properly.
"Old Heavenly Official, please be freed. There is a rebellion at night. It is difficult to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy. This is because a group of officials, generals, soldiers and horses are involved. How to deal with this matter?"
He then looked at Duke Yingying, Duke Cheng Guo, Zhang Weixian, and Zhu Chunchen, knowing that he wanted them to supplement and express their stance.
Zhu Chunchen was actually guilty of the crime and was eager to show his loyalty and enthusiasm as a speculator. He quickly said: "I know that there are many officials involved, either running around shouting or providing money to serve as servants. I think we should investigate and deal with it strictly." p>
Zhang Weixian added: "There are also servants. This time Zheng Yangxing relied on three thousand servants to defeat the Beijing camp, and the Jinyiwei retreated steadily. There are also servants of the minister and the servants of Duke Cheng who are unable to fight and who waver depending on the situation. The veteran thinks
, the servant system should be strictly abolished within the capital city."
He has decided to be loyal to the prince, and the performance of his servants is also unsightly, so they will be greatly reduced.
The prince needed to expand his military power and reform all the troops currently involved in the rebellion, so Zhang Weixian decided to provide key support.
"I think that the retainer system is very meaningful in Jiubian, but in the capital and in various family estates, it is really a huge unrest force."
Huang Jiashan, the Secretary of the Ministry of War who is most familiar with Jiubian, expressed his position.
Of course, the same goes for Huang Kezuan and Li Ruhua. Of course, the two ministers of the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Husband knew the dangers of the servant system.
"The old minister believes that the servants in the capital need to be abolished. The officials in the capital camp, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Shuntian Prefecture who participated in the rebellion must be re-appointed. The disloyal ministers who should be replaced must be resolutely replaced." Zhou Jiamo, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, made it clear.
The position is to strongly support the prince.
I figured it out.
I made a big mistake before.
The consequences will be serious, so we must do our best to bear the infamy and protect the prince from the gun.
Everyone looked at the old Heavenly Official. This Zhou Jiamo had a bad temper, and sometimes refused to give in even when he contradicted the emperor. This time, as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, he proposed a major change of officials, which meant he was serious about it.
Zhu Youxiao saw that the atmosphere was in place and the executors had expressed their attitude, so he concluded:
"The various yamen, soldiers, horses and officials involved in the above do need a major change of blood, and strict investigations are needed to identify loyalists and traitors."
"The prince oversees the country wisely!" The important ministers clearly expressed their support.
"Mr. Cheng Guo, you are responsible for searching all the civil servants involved, and investigating the civil servants who actually participated in the rebellion. You will not be merciful when they confiscate their homes. The rest of the abducted people must also be identified, but this palace will deal with them lightly." p>
"I obey the decree!"
Zhu Youxiao then said to Zhou Jiamo: "Old Heavenly Official, you are responsible for searching all the generals and soldiers involved, and investigating the generals who actually participated in the rebellion. Including Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Jingying and Xuanfu."
"...I obey the decree!"
Zhou Jiamo knew that he would not die before he finished these things, and if he did well, he would have a way to survive.
