Chapter 53 Another big killer, shocking all officials!
Wei Dazhong's words made the civil servants present at a loss as to what to say. Why did you, a sixth department speech officer, help Xichang speak.
Zhang Gui also took a surprised look at Wei Dazhong who was standing outside the civil servant class.
"Don't be cowardly!"
"Keep going!"
"Is it because after I took out the "Da Gao", I was afraid that I would provoke my uncle to make another big move?"
Zhang Gui slandered a few words.
Although after more than 200 years of hard work by Confucian officials in the Ming Dynasty, the "Da Gao" gradually faded to the point where "Jin 0 Ping Mei Ci Hua" is not easy to find in the Ming Dynasty today, but this does not mean that if you really want to find it, you can search it. less than.
You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang had already had a "Dagao" at home, so that many people in the early Ming Dynasty had one copy for each household.
If you really want to find it among the people, you can still find it.
It's just that the local government no longer recognizes the legality of this book.
It is ironic to say that the bureaucrats who emphasize the ancestral system the most are unwilling to admit the "Da Gao" that truly symbolizes the ancestral system.
Zhang Gui took out the "Da Gao" at this time, which caught these officials by surprise.
They don't dare to speak big words, and they can't say it. They can't say that the ancestral system can be violated.
Seeing what Wei Dazhong said, Tian Qi said, "In that case, let's go back to work."
"yes!"
Wei Dazhong hastily retreated back to the class, heaved a sigh of relief secretly, and said in his heart: "This uncle of the country is not to be provoked, he has produced the "Da Gao" now, who knows if I provoke him again, what else will he produce? I hope that by saying this, I can make His Majesty give up restoring the ancestral system of peeling real grass, compared to peeling real grass, Xichang is really nothing!"
Tian Qi got the "Da Gao" at this time, looked at it, then looked at Wang Ji and others, and said in a deep voice: "When you asked me for money for the soldiers and civilians of the world, I didn't show any hesitation, and then Well, is this how you treat me? When you embezzled the military salary, you didn’t hesitate?! Do you deserve my trust in you by doing this?!”
"Your Majesty, there is a saying in the "Book of Rites": Punishment is not as good as a doctor! I beg your Majesty to be a benevolent and virtuous king, and to govern the country with lenient punishment! Don't listen to the slander of traitors and practice the way of a sage!"
Wang Ji tremblingly argued.
Zhang Gui laughed: "You don't listen to reason, you insist on talking about the ancestral system; now you are talking about the ancestral system, and you are talking about the sage's words; in this world, do you have the final say or your majesty?! You still have the final say? Said, according to the ancestral system, it is to practice the way of a non-sage king, according to your opinion, the Taizu is not a sage king?"
As he spoke, Zhang Gui said, "Your Majesty, Da Sima is not only deceiving the emperor, but also the ancestor!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
Wang Ji suddenly became anxious, busy trying to defend himself.
Tianqi directly ordered: "Come here, arrest all those who are involved in the military salary allocated by the Ministry of Military Affairs for this time, and they will be sentenced to prison first, and they will have no family property. In addition, the three legal divisions must be dealt with according to the ancestral system stipulated in the "Da Gao"! Those with more than two will be stripped of lasts!"
"The criminals also have evidence of embezzling money and money from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry."
Wang Wenyan reported at this time.
Tianqi said: "If we deal with it in this way, we should arrest it as soon as it is necessary, and strip it as soon as it is necessary. We will not tolerate it! Let me be in harmony with the Ming government and the Qing people!"
"No! Your Majesty!"
Punishment Minister Huang Kezuan cried out in pain at this time, and continued: "Your Majesty, this treatment is too harsh, old minister, please forgive them, Your Majesty Huairen?!"
Dali Temple Minister Xiao Jingao also said: "Your Majesty, as Da Sikong said, this is not a benevolent act! In the past, the Taizu had to perform heavy rituals because of the initial determination of the world and frivolous people, but now I, Da Ming Haiyan Heqing , The hearts of the people are submissive, and the government should be benevolent, Your Majesty!"
Zuodu Censor Zou Yuanbiao said: "Your Majesty, in order to prevent the holiness from falling into a place of inhumanity, it is difficult for the three laws to implement this decree!"
"Where is the Ming Dynasty now that Haiyan and Heqing are still clean, and the hearts of the people are submissive, what I clearly see is internal and external troubles! From my point of view, now my Ming Dynasty has reached the time when it is impossible to repeat the code!"
Apocalypse said: "You must act according to the ancestral system!"
"Your Majesty, please take it back!"
Huang Kezuan replied.
"Your Majesty, please take it back!"
Xiao Jingao also followed suit.
"Your Majesty, please take it back!"
Zou Yuanbiao also followed suit.
The three of them are now the court officials of the Sanfa Division. They naturally know how the officials of the Ming Dynasty are governed now, and they also know that if they carry out the emperor's will, they will completely offend the civil servants of the world, and they will bear the reputation of cruel officials, so they are unwilling to implement it.
"Do you dare to resist the decree?"
"Your Majesty, please take back your order! Practice benevolence, and don't use severe punishment to the scholar-bureaucrats!"
"Your Majesty, please take back your order! Practice benevolence, and don't use severe punishment to the scholar-bureaucrats!"
"Your Majesty, please take back your order! Practice benevolence, and don't use severe punishment to the scholar-bureaucrats!"
…
After Tianqi asked this question, more civil servants shouted like a swarm, intending to prevent the emperor from using the monarchy to oppress the three justices to implement the ancestral system.
Seeing this, Wang Ji began to have a glimmer of hope, and secretly smiled.
"Jinyiwei!"
But Tianqi is not a master who is easily subdued, so he shouted loudly on the spot.
"The minister is here!"
When he was in charge of the Jinyi Guards, Zhang Gui, who was in charge of the Xiyuan Guards, responded and looked at the Jinyi Guards outside the hall.
"Your Majesty! If you really insist on doing this, I can only resign!"
Huang Kezuan and others were not to be outdone, they took off the beam crown on their heads and put it on the ground.
For a while, many civil servants did this.
At this time, Zhang Wenda, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, couldn't help shouting: "Your Majesty, do you really want to let the court hall be empty from now on?! Do you want to plunge the government into chaos?! It is unreasonable to peel the bark last for more than sixty taels of ink. I don’t know that my official salary in the Ming Dynasty has always been low, and it is necessary to use such torture if it is more than sixty taels. It is a small matter for some ministers to die, but it is a big thing for your Majesty to lose their morals! Your Majesty!"
"Absurd! Your Majesty abides by the ancestral system, how is it immoral? When did a poor official salary become a reason to be greedy? Can you not be an official if you think you don't have much money? If you want to make a fortune, you can do business and go to the battlefield to fight for military exploits! Why do you want to steal the country's money and do such a thing in the name of being loyal to your father and living for the people!"
Zhang Gui refuted it at this time.
Then, Zhang Gui once again sacrificed a big killing weapon, and said to Tianqi: "Your Majesty Qizuo, I believe that there is no shortage of national scholars who are willing to devote themselves to the country and the people for two hundred years! Even if you follow the ancestral system, I still have officials available in the Ming Dynasty, and there are many good officials available! Your Majesty, I beg you to give me grace! After a group of corrupt officials who are unwilling to be clarified by the court are gone, it is just right for those who are willing to serve the country to work for the court! I believe that , there are many scholars who are willing to continue to serve the court, even if the salary is really meager!"
Tian Qi thinks so. In Daming, three-legged toads may not be easy to find, but two-legged Confucian scholars are everywhere.
Therefore, Tian Qi nodded: "That's right, what you said is true!"
Then, Tian Qi looked at the court officials: "Whoever wants to resign, stand up and report now, and I will approve it here! Don't delay my next Enke, and get the real virtuous minister!"
"Kai Enke?"
"Is it okay?"
The civil officials present suddenly realized that if the emperor really did what Zhang Gui said, then people like himself would resign in vain, which is useless!
Because from the Ming Dynasty to now, there is indeed no shortage of high-ranking officials. In the Ministry of Officials, there are many people queuing up for the vacancy of a county magistrate. If the salary is not paid, even if the salary is not paid, it is estimated that some scholars will be willing to come out to be officials.
After all, there are many scholars who are big landlords themselves, rich, and don't care about salary, just for fame and status.
Sun Chengzong also had to secretly marvel at Zhang Gui, the uncle of the country, for being more intelligent. He thought that if he continued to oppose him, he would not know what kind of tricks and plots the uncle of the country would come up with to harm the court, so he stood up with knowledge of current affairs and said: "Your Majesty, my minister I agree with what Uncle Guo said, in order to clarify the governance of officials, the ancestral system should be used to deal with corrupt officials!"
Sun Shenxing, Minister of Rites, deliberately opposed Kai Enke, and said: "Your Majesty, the imperial examination is a grand ceremony for talent, how can it be."
But before Sun Shenxing finished speaking, Wei Guangwei, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I believe that what the uncle of the country said is true knowledge and insight. We should open the Enke, which will not only show your father's long grace, stabilize the hearts of the world, but also be elected by the country. Really talented, making up for the shortcomings of the government!"
Wei Guangwei wished that Sun Shenxing would prevent the emperor from opening the Enke, so that Sun Shenxing could only resign, and he just happened to replace Sun Shenxing as Minister of Rites.
You must know that there are only a few high-ranking ministers in the Ming Dynasty, and it is only one that can occupy one of them earlier.
Sun Shenxing was furious when he saw this, he hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground, and changed his words: "Your Majesty is benevolent! Your kindness is good governance, and I thank my emperor for your kindness on behalf of the scholars of the world!"
Wei Guangwei: "..."
Qiao Yunsheng, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, saw that Huang Kezan, the minister of the Ministry of punishment, threatened to resign and refuse to execute the punishment of peeling real grass. What the Lord said, in order to clarify the government of officials, the ancestral system should be used to deal with corrupt officials! Even if it is not just sixty taels, but even a penny is unfaithful, it should be stripped of the real grass!"
Qiao Yunsheng’s doing this is undoubtedly equivalent to telling Tianqi clearly, let me be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and I am willing to carry out your will, even if it is changed to corrupt ink, I am also willing to carry out, as long as I am promoted!
Anyway, in order to get promoted, I want to roll! Raise the standard of loyalty and kill these colleagues!
Huang Kezuan looked at Qiao Yunsheng speechlessly, and had to admit that many civil servants were eager to replace him, so he repented: "I am old and faint, and the words of the uncle of the country have enlightened me, and I am willing to carry out your majesty's will!"
Qiao Yunsheng glared at Huang Kezuan angrily, thinking, "So shameless?!"
Zou Yuanbiao, the censor of Zuodu, also got up at this time and changed his words: "The words of the uncle of the country are deafening. I take back what I just said, and I am willing to carry out your majesty's will!"
Dali Temple Minister Xiao Jingao also put back the Liang crown: "I was reckless just now, Your Majesty forgives me!"
Seeing this, Wang Ji couldn't help but thought: "Don't you protect me anymore?"
Thank you for the reward of 1,500 coins from Sword Soul Platform, thank you for the reward of 200 coins from Wuyin Lonely, thank you Huo Liuye for your reward of 100 coins, and thank you poor monk for your reward of 100 coins
