Chapter 30: It's not time for Daming to subjugate the country!

Fang Congzhe naturally felt that nothing was wrong with this.

Liu Yiyin and Han Du were somewhat resentful of this.

Therefore, Han Du found Liu Yiying and said, "Mr. Liu, you have always been close to Donglin censors such as Wei Yingjia. Can you really sit back and watch the martial arts reset, the emperor personally takes over the military and seizes the power of civil servants to lead the military, and even get close to the military officials?"

Liu Yiyin understood what Han Yu meant. He knew that if he did not make any difference in this matter, Han Yu would turn around and tell the clerk Donglin Zhu that he was the minister of the cabinet that he did not stop the matter, nor did he inform him of the matter, so that the clerk Donglin Zhu would no longer support him, and even would support Han Yu and put a demerit on himself.

Therefore, although Liu Yiyin knew that Han Yu was instigating him, he could only reply: "When I go back, I tell them to go to Liukelang to seal the decree issued by the cabinet."

Han Du bowed and said, "Mr. Liu is very wise and I admire you very much!"

Liu Yiyin didn't want to pay attention to Han Du, and gave Han Du an ugly smile, and then stepped out of the cabinet's room.

As soon as he returned to the mansion, Liu Yiyin asked someone to invite Wei Yingjia, Fan Yuqi and others to his mansion.

Moreover, Liu Yiyin also informed everyone of Xu Guangqi's request to set up martial arts and rehabilitation of Zhang Juzheng.

Then, Liu Yiying said: "Xu Guangqi's actions were obviously based on the intention of the holy, and the emperor intended to control the military power himself, rather than granting it to civil servants! He was also dissatisfied with some of you who raised the enemy and respected himself. You have to think of a way to stop the emperor from doing this. In addition, the emperor's rehabilitation of Zhang Juzheng was obviously intentional to strengthen the power of the palace, reduce the power of the censors, and seize the benefits of the powerful, and actually the central treasury!"

Wei Yingjia was quite shocked after hearing this: "This is really a misfortune for our scholars and officials! The king I met was not a benevolent lord. If this is true, the world will be uneasy in the future!"

Fan Yuqi also said a little resentful: "Why should the emperor be so nervous? We are just for the rich businessmen. We are only capturing tens of thousands of people in the east, which is not a big trouble for our Ming Dynasty! We also have to train troops personally and encourage civil officials to learn from Zhang Juzheng to be enemies with the powerful and powerful bureaucrats in the world. The Ming Dynasty is not the time to destroy the country!"

Liu Yiyin smiled faintly: "The emperor's intention is like this, what can we do? Maybe it's just because the emperor is young and it's unknown if you really don't want the emperor to do this. If you really don't want the emperor to do this, you can let the emperor know the difficulties here. Although I am a minister, I cannot explicitly oppose the emperor and can only pass the words here."

After saying that, Liu Yiyin ordered to see off the guests.

For Liu Yiyin, since he colluded with the Donglin Party and the Liaodijun Town, he did not want to rush forward and fight against the emperor.

But Liu Yiyin was indeed unwilling to see the emperor being too tough or not seeing the situation where the civil servant had to discuss matters side by side with the military officials.

Because in the era after Zhang Juzheng, the majority of the Ming bureaucrats were unwilling to lose their own interests.

And Liu Yiyin is one of them.

"Even when the Ming Dynasty was about to destroy its country and exterminate its genocide, as a cabinet minister, I could not only know how to save the country but not myself like Zhang Juzheng. Anyway, the change of state and dynasty is the same as the change of seasons. But ordinary things, since I, Liu Yifeng, have become a scholar and a literati, if I cannot be an official in the old dynasty, I can only become an official in the new dynasty!"

Liu Yiyin couldn't help but sneer when he thought about Zhu Youxiao's rehabilitation of Zhang Juzheng and thought about it secretly.

Then, Liu Yiyin suddenly called his confidant housekeeper Zeng Rui: "How much silver have we accumulated in Beijing over the years?"

Zeng Rui replied: "Go back to the filial piety of the master, the money shops, the grain shops and other places, as well as several Shanxi merchants in Zhangjiakou and the annual regulations from outside the pass, the total amount is more than three million taels!"

Liu Yiying nodded and said, "It's time to get out! When Wei Yingjia impeached Xiong Tingbi and got rid of this matter, you can find a few censors to impeach me! I will submit a memorial to resign from my office at that time."

...

"We should find a few censors to impeach him. Xu Guangqi. This person only knows how to be charming and completely forgets that he is a member of the scholar-official official. I think he is a good slave to the imperial family!"

When Wei Yingjia told Xu Guangqi's memorial to rebuild martial arts to a group of censors of the Donglin Party, Miao Changqi first denounced Xu Guangqi.

Wei Yingjia nodded, "What Mr. Miao said is not bad. Xu Guangqi has always been a member of us. The world is not the world of emperors, but the world is governed by scholars and officials and emperors. However, there are always people like our scholars and forests who are willing to be the emperor for their own utilitarian benefits! And Xu Guangqi is such a person, not the gentlemen of Donglin! "

Zuo Guangdou said from the side: "How can Xu Guangqi put this person aside first? Now the most urgent task is to advise Your Majesty to re-establish martial arts and follow the example of Wuzong!"

Wei Yingjia continued, therefore, "So, Wei immediately summoned you all. This matter was a military matter, and Duke Qiu was the chief military officer. If Duke Qiu sealed and refuted this matter in accordance with the rules of the court! At that time, Duke Qiu submitted a memorial to advise on this matter, his Majesty would know that this matter was not done!"

As Wei Yingjia said, he looked at Qiu Changqing, the military officer who was also an official of the Donglin Party, and said, "I would like to ask Mr. Qiu to uphold justice for the world, refute the emperor's orders, and correct the court's principles!"

Zuo Guangdou, Miao Changqi and other Donglin Party officials nodded, thinking that what Wei Yingjia said was reasonable.

Because the censors of the Ming Dynasty did have the power to dispel the decrees.

So, Zuo Guangdou, Miao Changqi and others bowed to Qiu Changqing and said, "I would like to ask Mr. Qiu to uphold justice for the world, refute the emperor's orders, and correct the court's principles!"

Qiu Changqing was the son of Qiu Wu, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice in the early days of Wanli. He was dissatisfied with Wei Yingjia's mention that his son issued an order to rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng. After all, he knew that once Zhang Juzheng was rehabilitated, his father's behavior would be completely confirmed. Therefore, when other censors asked him to refute the emperor's order, he was really moved and said enthusiastically: "Qiu has no choice! Let's go back to the Six-College Gate!"

Qiu Changqing returned to the Sixth Corridor, and immediately found Xu Guangqi, who had been approved by the Sixth Corridor, who was sent to the Sixth Corridor, and immediately rejected the Sixth Corridor on the grounds that "governing the country should be based on respect for literature, and should not easily speak of military force, which led to the recurrence of military officials' disaster to the country, and the cabinet and the auxiliary officials of the cabinet made a statement that it was not in line with the right way to govern the country."

When Wei Zhongxian saw Qiu Changqing's refutation, he immediately looked solemn: "These censors are really bold. They really dare to refute the memorials of the cabinet's votes that the officials and officials would like to approve the rewards!"

As he said that, Wei Zhongxian immediately sent Xu Guangqi's memorial to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, the military minister Qiu Changqing has rejected the cabinet's vote for Xu Guangqi's memorial."

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment. He knew that the censors of the Ming Dynasty had the right to refute, so although the censors of the Ming Dynasty were not of high rank, they had very great power and never took the chances of the ministers of the Pavilion. However, he knew that if he wanted to strengthen the imperial power, he had to be tougher and had to kill the prestige of the censors first.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao finally resolutely ordered: "I have read the refutation of the matter, but I still plan to implement it according to the original ticket of the cabinet!"
