Chapter Five Hundred and Fifty-Three This kind of Ming Dynasty makes my scholar-officials not free!
Zhu Youxiao came over, looked at Liu Hongxun and others, and asked, "What are you doing here? You should also plead for Dai Ming, thinking that he is a loyal minister, and that I am a foolish monarch?"
"I am here to impeach these officials who are causing trouble!"
Liu Hongxun replied.
"Your Majesty does not need to argue with these foolish people. They obviously only thought of etiquette and law, but forgot about the king and father."
Zhu Xieyuan also replied.
Wen Tiren also said: "That's right, Your Majesty can only teach them a lesson. Never get angry because of this."
Zhu Youxiao said: "They are not confused. They are premeditated. They are cliques! They are forming gangs and chaotic governments!"
As he said that, Zhu Youxiao said to Liu Hongxun and others: "You are here just in time, and you will immediately draft an order. The leader Zhang Tianzhi, Wang Chongjian, and Dai Ming, all told him that he would be executed in half! The nine tribes were exiled to the Huohai Peninsula (Kamchatka Peninsula), Sakhalin Island, and the Heiyi Island. The rest of the officials and the entire tribe were exiled to Turpan!"
"ah!"
The civil servants who were summoned to plead for Dai Ming were surprised and couldn't help but start begging for mercy.
"Your Majesty, we have not formed a party!"
"Your Majesty, we are wronged!"
"Your Majesty, please do not let me exile you thousands of miles away from the frontier!"
The assistant ministers were also quite surprised, and they didn't expect the emperor to do such a tough move.
Zhu Xieyuan and Wen Tiren both looked at the chief assistant Liu Hongxun.
At this time, it depends on whether Liu Hongxun dares to follow the emperor with such a strong fist.
Zhu Youxiao also threatened directly at this time: "If you don't agree, I will also withdraw you and reorganize the Political Affairs Hall!"
After thinking about it, Liu Hongxun replied without hesitation: "I will receive the order!"
"I will receive the order!"
Zhu Xieyuan and Wen Tiren also replied immediately.
Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao replied: "Print an order!"
"yes!"
Then, Zhu Youxiao walked back to the hall.
Next, the Jinyiwei arrested Zhang Tianzhi and Wang Chongjian and others.
Some civil servants are still begging for mercy.
But Zhang Tianzhi simply shouted at this time: "Don't ask for forgiveness! If you don't ask for forgiveness, it's not like death. What's the point? In such a Ming Dynasty, if you don't have freedom, you'd better die than live!"
Liu Hongxun and other assistants ignored Zhang Tianzhi and others, but followed him into the hall.
"Your Majesty, it's better to talk about the eldest son of the emperor. In the end, don't make a gap between the royal family because of these people."
Liu Hongxun said.
Zhu Youxiao was calm and calm and drank the tea ceremony: "There is no hurry to do this. Wait and see, they will jump out by themselves. Don't they want to get a reputation?"
As Zhu Youxiao expected.
The next morning, the eldest son Zhu Ciwei and the second son Zhu Cican and others came to Zhu Youxiao to plead for Dai Ming and others.
"Father! Dai Ming said that although Zhang Tianzhi and Wang Chongjian were foolish for a while, they were not traitors and evil people. They have always been honest. Please spare their lives!"
Zhu Ciwei said first.
Zhu Cican also followed and said, "Yes, Father, although they are pedantic, they are just based on the sincere heart that was passed down by our Mingzong Society. Please forgive them once. They must know that they were wrong!"
The third son of the emperor, Zhu Cizhuo, also said: "Please give them a chance to reform!"
...
After hearing these princes say, Zhu Youxiao laughed: "Continue, I have given birth to a few good sons, but I am kind and kind. Your husband teaches you well!"
As soon as Zhu Youxiao said this, the princes were shocked because they could hear that the emperor was dissatisfied with them and wanted to re-train.
The eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Ciwei, crawled on the ground first: "Father calms down! All they did is for their son. The son cannot ignore them and be imprisoned, otherwise he would violate the word "righteousness". Today, even if the father punishes his son, his son will have to plead for them."
Zhu Youxiao looked at the other princes and asked, "What about you?"
"The son couldn't bear to see the emperor's brother suffer alone, so he wanted to come together."
Zhu Cican replied.
"We all can't bear to see the emperor's brother suffer alone."
Zhu Cizhuo and others replied.
Zhu Youxiao sneered: "It's brothers who are united. To put it this way, you all think that I am a mean and ungrateful tyrant?"
"My son would never dare to think so!"
These princes hurriedly replied.
Zhu Youxiao snorted and said, "Stop pretending in front of me! Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking in your heart! I know that you all want this position, but it's not impossible to think about it. If you want it, you have to prove your ability. Don't show me your performance skills here. That can only mean whether you can perform well! Go to the grassroots, go to the place, go to the people's livelihood, and go there to show your ability!"
As Zhu Youxiao said, he said to Liu Hongxun and other auxiliary ministers: "Die Ming's princes who have pleaded with love for Dai Ming to local magistrates! Let them experience it! The so-called prime ministers start from the prefectures and the powerful generals are born in the army. Whether they can be the talents of emperors can also go to rural towns to experience it. If they cannot manage the people of a county well, how to manage the people of a country well in the future? As for which county they are demoted to, you have to discuss them strictly and strictly pass the exam and do not rise sharply because of their status!"
"Your Majesty, is this too much? Will the prince be demoted to a prefecture and county suddenly be detrimental?"
After hearing this, Liu Hongxun was shocked and stood up first.
Zhu Xieyuan also said, "Yes, Your Majesty, it is too incredible for the prince to be a prefecture and county magistrate. In ancient times, there were crown princes who served as Jingzhao Yin or a chief official, but there was no direct position as a prefecture and county magistrate. This may cause the princes to be exhausted!"
Wen Tiren also said: "Your Majesty also think twice. Even if you want to train the princes, you don't have to be so cruel."
The princes were also surprised. After all, power struggles are power struggles. If they really have to go to the grassroots to experience and endure hardships, some of them are really embarrassed. Therefore, these princes all looked at the eldest son Zhu Ciwei.
"What's wrong with the prefecture and county officials? They are not the prefecture and county officials who serve as emperors and guard the local area? The prefecture and county officials are still the crime of the nine clans!"
Zhu Youxiao said something at this time.
Then, Zhu Youxiao asked the princes: "Why do you think the county magistrate is too young?"
As he said that, Zhu Youxiao said again: "You can refuse!"
Although Zhu Youxiao said he could refuse, these princes knew that refusing meant voluntarily giving up the fight for the throne.
So, few people were willing to stand up for a while.
Finally, the fifth prince Zhu Cizhuo looked up and said, "Father! Can you really refuse? My son doesn't want to be an official, my son doesn't even want to be a prince, my son just wants to live a leisurely life."
Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly: "Okay! Then I will only demote you to the General of Fengguo! Stay in the capital and have some fun for me!"
"Thank you, Father!"
Zhu Cizhuo replied.
