Chapter 569 Impeachment

"Your Majesty, the son-in-law Li Jie abdicatedly arrested hundreds of officials in Nanjing and promoted the clerk to an official. He was extremely bold and arrogant. I would like to punish Li Jie for his crimes!" A minister in charge stood up and said loudly in his words.

"I would like to punish Li Jie for his crime!" As soon as the attendant finished speaking, a group of officials immediately stood up and agreed. This time, Li Jie really aroused public anger. Not only did the scholars in the scholars curse him, but the ministers in the court also wrote letters to Zhu Yunxi, demanding that Li Jie be arrested and punished.

"I have said this long ago. This is just a temporary solution. Don't worry too much!" Although Zhu Yunxiu felt a headache, he still waved his sleeves lightly and said lightly.

The so-called expedient strategy is of course just a reason why Zhu Yunyu fooled the ministers. After all, if this opening is opened today, a common case may be formed in the future. Once it becomes a common case, it will cause a heavy blow to the imperial examination. After all, from a minor official to an official, why do you have to spend time and effort to study?

You should know that the imperial examination involves the interests of all scholars, especially those in Jiangnan. The previous case of the North and South List was a test of Lao Zhu by scholars in Jiangnan. Although it ended in a crushing defeat, it did not hurt their vitality.

In fact, Lao Zhu did not win the case in the North and South List, because through this imperial examination, Jiangnan literati showed their strong control over the imperial examination. Even if Lao Zhu could kill some people, it could not shake the fundamentals of this interest group.

Now that Old Zhu is dead, Zhu Biao is no longer there, only Zhu Yunsheng, the young emperor. Generally speaking, after the emperor ascended the throne, there will be a squad, which makes many scholars ready to find all the things they had thrown away before in this squad.

But before Enko started, Li Jie gave them a heavy blow, which made many people extremely angry and wished to tear Li Jie apart, so so many people joined forces to write a letter to impeach him.

"Your Majesty, even if it is a temporary measure, you cannot set this precedent. Otherwise, where will the scholars in the world be placed?" At this time, someone stepped forward and opposed loudly.

"There have been such a big case in the Jiangnan officialdom, and so many officials have been dismissed. I really can't find officials to fill this vacancy, so I can only use clerks as officials. Why is this related to scholars all over the world?" Zhu Yunqiu frowned and said dissatisfied again.

"Your Majesty, the official vacancy may be temporarily handled by one person as a number of positions or by several clerks' discussions. However, the clerk must not be transferred to an official, otherwise there will be no boundary between officials. How can officials in the future be used to impress those clerks?" At this time, someone objected. Although the reasons he proposed may be a bit incredible, they represent the real ideas of many officials.

Zhu Yunyu originally wanted to explain again, but the officials below were already in a bad mood. At this time, they also stood up one by one to express their objections. Some reasons may sound reasonable, while others are completely nonsense and unreasonable.

Although Zhu Yunxiu was the emperor, he had only one person. When it comes to bickering, these ministers were much better than him and did not give him a chance to speak at all. As a result, Zhu Yunxiu was also told by these ministers that his face was gloomy. Finally, he simply shook his sleeves and announced his retreat directly.

In fact, this is not the first time. The court meetings two days ago were similar, and they ended up in disagreement. However, there were many people who opposed it today. Zhu Yunxiu didn't even say a few words, so he felt particularly frustrated.

Zhu Yunxi returned to the inner palace angrily. At the court meeting just now, all the civil officials impeached Li Jie, and those military generals were leisurely and leisurely, with a look of laughter on their faces. For them, of course, they were more willing to see the civil servant group being unlucky.

However, generals generally do not express much opinions on such major court events. First of all, they are generals and are not very good at such major court events, and expressing opinions is easy to make people laugh.

Secondly, military generals are easily suspicious, especially those who lead troops to fight outside. For example, they are fighting fiercely on the front line. A few words from a minister in the court may arouse the emperor's suspicion. At that time, an imperial edict can make them waste their previous efforts, so military generals are unwilling to offend civil officials too much. Of course, it is still okay to see that civil officials are unlucky.

"No one of these bastards can help me!" Zhu Yunxiu angrily poured a cup of tea, and then said hatefully that although there were many ministers who had made their statements just now, most of them were not at high positions. The ministers with high positions and power did not speak, but remained silent, obviously acquiesced to this matter.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Yunyu doesn’t even have a helper now, which makes him miss Li Jie extremely. If Li Jie is in the capital, at least he will take care of each other in the court.

But Zhu Yunxiu didn't dare to recall Li Jie easily. As soon as the court was in full swing, he would be impeached by countless people, so he would avoid the limelight during this period.

In addition, Zhu Yunxiu also knew that Li Jie was in charge of the transfer of officials in Nanjing. Although he agreed to this matter, it would be difficult for Li Jie to find any heavyweight helper there, so he had to experience many things himself. Now he was probably also involved in affairs. If Li Jie was rashly recalled, no one in Nanjing would be in charge, and the transfer of officials would end in vain.

"No, I have to seek some helpers in the court, otherwise if this continues, I will be too passive!" Zhu Yunxiu calmed down and whispered to himself. Although he could temporarily suppress this, it was not a long-term solution. If the trouble in the court became more and more serious, and even if all the ministers reached an agreement in the end, he, the emperor, would also give an explanation.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yunyu couldn't help but frown. It was not easy to get the ministers to support this matter. The generals are a good candidate, but considering the situation of the generals, it was very difficult to make them express their opinions unless someone led them.

Just when Zhu Yunxiu thought of this, he suddenly saw someone coming in. He looked up and realized that it was his wife, Queen Fan. This made him laugh and said, "Queen, why are you here?"

Empress Fan is also the lucky Miss Fan in the past. After she got married to Zhu Yunyu, she quickly gave birth to a son for him. She just turned one year old this year. The relationship between the couple is also very good. Zhu Yunyu has considered to make Empress Fan's son the crown prince next year.
