Chapter 263 Fighting from the front!(1/2)
Regarding what Zhou Yanru said about the increase in the cost of the imperial court, this is inevitable.
If you want to increase the number of local officials, you will inevitably face an increase in total salary.
In this matter, I am afraid that Mr. Bi Ziyan and Bi will probably jump again.
However, Chongzhen felt that this was not a problem, and money was really not a problem.
Even if the Huangcai case in Beizhili, the Gongtian case in Henan Province, and the riots in Yingtianfu, all of them will be investigated, how much money will be found?
There are probably many.
Of course, these are all one-time transactions, and they will be used up once they are used up.
What really started to make money were the Daming Tobacco Bureau and the Daming Manufacturing General Administration and other industrial yamen.
Chongzhen said casually: "Zhou Yanru, I know all your worries. The court is not short of money now, so you can do it."
"I just mentioned the reform of A, you, Zhou Yanru, took the lead in doing it. Before August, I will give me a plan."
"I received the order."
"The official in A was appointed by the Ministry of Personnel from the National Peking University. Whoever objected would say it was me who said it, and let him come to me!"
"I received the order."
The two retreated.
After a while, Fang Zhenghua went to the door to ask for a meeting.
"Come in."
After Fang Zhenghua came in, he held a pile of paper in his hand.
"The Emperor, these are confessions from Duke of Wei and others, as well as the confessions from Lord Zheng and others."
"Wang Cheng'en, put it away, and take it to Huangji Palace together tomorrow morning."
"yes."
That night, the officialdom in Beijing became lively.
It's mainly because everyone has received news about tomorrow's morning court.
It is said that the morning court in the morning was to discuss the matter of Yingtian Prefecture.
Now countless people were as excited as if they were injected with chicken blood, especially the group of Qingliu from the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College, who stayed up late that night to write impeachment memorials.
Write all the swear words I have learned in my life.
It is said that someone was too excited to sleep that night and ran to the brothel and came seven times overnight.
Early the next morning, after Chongzhen finished changing his clothes, he came to Huangji Palace.
The ministers followed the etiquette and entered the Huangji Palace, and the worship ceremony ended.
Chongzhen swept around and said, "If you have something to report, you will leave the court without any trouble."
Chen Yan, an editor of the Hanlin Academy, was the first to leave the list. He said: "Your Majesty, I have a foundation to report."
"speak!"
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Sun Chengzong, Li Banghua, Hong Chengchou, Cao Wenzhao, I want to impeach Li Yan, Luo Yangxing, and Zhou Yanru!"
He said the names of seven people in one breath, which one is not an important official in the court.
There were even Privy Councillors, cabinet chiefs, generals in the army, and important officials in the new policy.
The routine rules, the memorial was sent to the emperor. The emperor just glanced at him and the others could no longer stand.
At present, the Imperial College Supervisor, Ni Jiashan, also came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have a report."
After he said this, the Five Classics Doctors from the Imperial College also walked to the gate of the Huangji Palace, knelt on the ground, and shouted: "Your Majesty, I have a report."
It seemed as if there had been collusion in private, and several other people from the Hanlin Academy also left: "Your Majesty, I have a copy."
In addition, Hu Yingtai, the Minister of Justice, also listed: "Your Majesty, I have a copy to report."
Subsequently, the six ministers and nine ministers each had their own officials leaving the list and knelt on the ground.
Among them are the ministers, doctors, and officials in charge.
At this glance, there were at least dozens of people, nearly a hundred people.
It is vast and spectacular.
Chongzhen knew that these people had a breath of breath. The killing of so many people in Nanjing City touched the nerves of many people.
The main reason is that many scholars died, led by Hanlin Academy and Imperial College, will definitely not give up.
The prison student of the Imperial College in Beijing was restless a few days ago.
The little eunuch went down to collect the memorials one by one, and they all came up.
It must have been impeached by the Privy Council, Cao Wenzhao, Li Yan and others.
You don't have to look at it.
Why did killing scholars touch the nerves of these people?
Isn't this nonsense?
All of these people are scholars, and many people who died in Nanjing even had students of these people.
But to a deeper level, Jinling Blood Night is actually a challenge to Confucian authority.
Confucianism was officially revered as an official school because of the incident of Emperor Wu of Han and has been continuously strengthened for more than a thousand years.
After the imperial examinations were held in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, further strengthening them.
By the Northern Song Dynasty, the aristocratic families declined and Confucianism reached its peak.
During the Ming Dynasty, the imperial examinations were naturally even better than those in the Song Dynasty.
It can be said that all scholars and even all officials are from Confucian origins.
The ritual system advocated by Confucianism is actually a social order.
This social order is very suitable for ancient dynasties, and it naturally coincides with the imperial power.
However, the Confucian thought under this order had already entered a distortion in the late Ming Dynasty and could not adapt to the diversified development of the internal society of the Ming Dynasty under the Age of Discovery.
It cannot solve the central government's financial problems, let alone the border issues.
Because the ancients were restricted by the times, they could not know the root of it.
But as a time traveler, it is naturally very clear from the perspective of God in later generations.
So, the bloody night in Jinling touched the authority and order on which a ruling class relies.
It will inevitably cause huge shocks in Beijing.
The situation in front of you is inevitable.
And Chongzhen himself was ready to fight to the end.
Chongzhen read a few memorials briefly, but he no longer needed to read the ones behind them.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.
So many people impeach the backbone of the New Deal.
The backbone of the new policy is still standing in the Huangji Hall at this time.
The atmosphere of the positive front facing each other suddenly condensed.
The hall was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling to the ground could be heard.
Moreover, something else happened at this moment.
What's up?
Early this morning, several students from the Imperial College had breakfast on the streets of Beijing City and had a fight with several students from the National Peking University.
The reason is very simple. The Imperial College students were upset when they saw that the students at National Peking University were unhappy and sarcastically. Both sides were young and started fighting.
Just on the streets of Beijing.
The officials in the court do not know about this.
The Jinyiwei rushed over after receiving the rumor of the wind.
In fact, this matter also involves a contradiction and opposition between Confucianism and new learning.
After the Jinyiwei rushed over, he arrested all of these people.
Originally, the Jinyiwei level would not be in charge of street fights in Beijing, but everyone was the Imperial College Supervisor and the National Peking University students.
Ignore this matter, and the emperor couldn't explain it when he asked.
So after I grabbed the person, the news quickly came to the palace.
At this time, it was the morning court again, so this matter was told to Luo Yangxing, who was about to attend court.
The emperor was about to speak, but Luo Yangxing took the lead. He said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
To be continued...
