Chapter 72 Execution of the Speaker (this week is very critical, please read more)
"The ministers who heard the words of the advance all hoped that His Majesty would use Yao and Shun, but did not hear the responsibility to assist the ministers with Gao and Kui. Which one?"

"Your Majesty has the wisdom to accept advice, but the ministers have nothing to say."

"Emperor Gao learned from the mistakes of the previous generation. He did not set up a prime minister, and the affairs belonged to the ministry.

"Emperor Wen began to set up a cabinet and participate in the maintenance. At that time, the official rank was not high, and there was no desire to be pretentious."

"In the past 200 years, there have been those who are good at doing good fortune, but they still avoid the name of the prime minister and dare not live in it. They follow the law of their ancestors."

"It is Zhang Juzheng, a great scholar, who treats himself with each other. He has been expelled from the high arch, and those who are good at power and blessing will last for three or four years. The admonisher will talk about the matter, and he must say: 'I abide by the law of the ancestors.' Please use the law of the ancestors immediately. Righteousness!"

Zhang Ju is in the cabinet on duty, reading with trembling hands the original text about Liu Tai's impeachment sent by the Supervisor of Rites.

At this moment, the eunuch from the clerk's office came over: "There is a decree, Xuan Yuanfu Mr. Zhang has an audience!"

After hearing this, Zhang Juzheng naturally knew why Zhu Yijun wanted to announce him suddenly. Before he finished reading Liu Tai's memorabilia, he took Liu Tai's original copy and the resignation note he had prepared to go to Qianqing Palace.

"Sir, are you ready to resign?"

Zhu Yijun asked.

Zhang Juzheng first handed in his resignation memorial: "Your Majesty is holy! In the two hundred years of the state, there have been no disciples who have repelled the teacher, but now there are. How dare the minister not observe the minister's morals, throw himself into the cockroach and defame him? Therefore I can only resign."

After Zhang Juzheng said, Zhang Hong took the resignation memorial from Zhang Juzheng and handed it to Zhu Yijun.

After Zhu Yijun unfolded it, he turned directly to the back, held his ink pen, and personally wrote two beautiful big red characters "Not allowed" on the memorial at the back, and threw it directly in front of Zhang Juzheng: "Not allowed!"

Then, Zhu Yijun said: "The cabinet listened to the decree. Fu Yizhen, the former censor of Henan Province, does not need to be tried again. He will be executed for the crime of deceiving the emperor! Liaodong inspected the imperial censor Liu Tai's disorderly system. He is suspected of interfering in military power and conspiracy. Let Jin Yiwei escort back to Beijing immediately, and make a decision!"

"In addition, the imperial examinations are not allowed within three generations of the father's, mother's, and wife's families!"

Zhu Yijun said at this point: "I said that they may not be that bad personally, but it does not mean that the party members behind them are not bad, so I will not execute them by torture, just abandon the market."

"But the henchmen behind him must be punished! Although it is impossible to find out who his henchmen are, the relatives and in-laws behind him must ask him for his faults, and I will not implicate innocent women and children, but only revoke his qualifications for three generations. Prevent the unhealthy family style from affecting the world style!"

"Immediately draw up an imperial decree and issue it to Yousi!"

Zhu Yijun didn't bother to ask Zhang Ju if he had miscalculated, and if he should admit that he was the emperor's student.Shouldn't we have illusions about the bureaucracy as a whole, thinking that as long as one is deterred, the rest will not dare to say anything?As a result, this time it was your own disciple who started to attack you. Next, is there another fellow from the same year who also attacked you?
After all, no matter what he, the young emperor, does now, will be regarded as Zhang Juzheng's idea in the end, and Zhang Juzheng will be responsible for it.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun would not embarrass Zhang Juzheng, so he directly issued an order that Gan Gang arbitrarily wanted to execute Fu Yizhen and Liu Tai.

It was also because of this that Zhu Yijun didn't directly execute Fu Yizhen before this, but returned Zhang Ju's face.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zhang Juzheng didn't persuade Zhu Yijun on the grounds that the officials should not be killed.

Because he knew why Zhu Yijun did this, and he also knew that all this was for the success of the restructuring.

Moreover, he himself lost the bet and underestimated the reactionary nature of the bureaucratic group as a whole. If someone has a head, they will be grateful for you, and will not scold you in the future, but will show you kindness.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng also responded directly, and drafted such an edict after returning to the cabinet.

Zhang Siwei also saw this in the cabinet at this time and asked: "Uncle, the Holy Majesty has summoned you to announce a decree?"

"My servant has asked for a decree to execute Fu Yizhen and Liu Tai. The three clans and three generations will not be allowed to take the imperial examination, so as to punish their party!"

After Zhang Juzheng said, Zhang Siwei was stunned.

It didn't take long for the imperial decree to go to the Sixth Division, and soon to the Ministry of Punishment and the Fusi Yamen in Jinyiwei North Town.

Fu Yizhen and Liu Tai were sentenced to death and the decree of the three families and three generations not being allowed to take the imperial examination was also in this process. It was known to the Beijing officials of the Manchu Dynasty, which naturally caused a great uproar in public opinion, especially the officials of the Kedao.

"Don't mention the suppression of the way of speech, don't mention it if you are good at prestige, and now you want to directly kill the speaker and implicate the three families of the speaker. Jiangling is so domineering, where is the father?!"

"A man should fight for righteousness to the death, how can he just sit back and watch Jiangling's chaos!"

Zhu Nanyong, the censor of Huguang Road, started talking about this matter in the Metropolitan Procuratorate at this time.

After hearing this, Jing Song, the censor of Fujian Province, asked, "What do you think the public should do?"

Zhu Nanyong said directly: "The only way is to go to Huijimen Fuque to intercede for Fu and Liu! Let the queen mothers of the two palaces know about this. If we can be deceived and hijacked by Jiangling, as long as we go to Ben Fuque to see the Son of Heaven and the Empress Dowagers of the Two Palaces, the Empress Dowagers of the Two Palaces and the Son of Heaven will surely know Jiangling's crime!"

Hu Wei, the censor of Guangxi Taoism, nodded after hearing this: "That's right! The empress dowagers of the two palaces have always been kind and generous, and they are virtuous and honest, but they strictly teach the emperor to be a benevolent monarch. How can they sit and watch your majesty be deceived by Jiangling and destroy the emperor's virtue!"

"I will contact other colleagues, especially those in the sixth department, so that more people will go to Fuque together, and let the empress dowagers of the two palaces know that not all the foreign courts are his Jiangling party, and even the officials of the foreign court have long been ashamed of him Jiangling is far away. very!"

Zhu Nanyong said.

"Okay! Let's go to Donghuamen and wait."

Hu Wei agreed.

After speaking, Zhu Nanyong left the Metropolitan Procuratorate first.

However, after Zhu Nanyong left the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he did not go directly to the Sixth Section Corridor. Instead, he first came to the Shenzhai compound where he had been before, met the cabinet ministers he had seen before, and said with a smile: "George, As you expected, many censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate have decided to go to Huijimen Fuque after the suggestion of the lower officials!"

"That's good! Some people have been back and forth from the Sixth Branch Gallery and the Hanlin Academy! Now we just need to wait for the queen mother of the two palaces to have a good relationship. You go tell them, and you will tell Xu Concubine and Hou Concubine to let them enter the palace to see the queen dowager. Let the Empress Dowager know about their fuque, so let them rest assured that the Empress Dowager will not come out to intervene in this matter, and they don't have to worry that no one will come to rescue them when the court is in charge."

After hearing this, the cabinet minister spoke up.

"Yes!"

……

When the civil servants came to Fuque at Huiji Gate, it was already the afternoon of this day.

The sky is getting darker and colder, the clouds are densely covered, and soon there will be heavy snow falling all over the sky.

Even the little eunuch who lit the lamp in the palace came back full of broken jade and jade just after going out for a while.

At this time, in the Qianqing palace, the fire is booming.

Accompanied by Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun, Zhu Yijun personally presented Qi Changguo, Li Rusong, Chen Lin, Ma Gui, and Liu Ting with the military medal that Zhu Yijun asked the Ministry of War to make.

The military merit medal is made of python jade, and its appearance is inlaid with gold, silver or brass to distinguish the military merit.

And because these five people performed very well last year, the military medals they received were all inlaid with gold and python jade.

General Zhu Yijun handed out medals of merit to them one by one, and also gave each of them an Xiuchun knife.

In the real Ming Dynasty, the Xiuchun Knife was not owned by every guard in Jinyi. In fact, it was only owned by high-ranking Jinyi military officers.

The same goes for flying fish suits.

Zhu Yijun personally awarded these people the Python Jade Military Merit Medal and the Embroidered Spring Knife, which is naturally regarded as an honor to win the hearts of the recipients.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! The ministers must be loyal to the king and dare not slack off!"

And when these rewarded generals were facing the outside of the hall in the north, there was heavy snow, and Peiyu held a knife on the ground, and when they saluted Zhu Yijun, the Wanli Emperor who was standing in the hall, wearing a round collar embroidered with Yishan and wearing a tuanlong cloak, At this time, Zhang Jing walked quickly from outside the hall, prostrated in front of Zhu Yijun like a snowman, and said in a trembling voice: "My lord! Many courtiers Fu Que came from outside the Huiji gate, saying that they were pleading for Fu and Liu. When I meet the emperor, I want to expose the face of the powerful minister!"

Cough!

Tan Lun, who was standing behind Zhu Yijun, couldn't help coughing because of this, and looked at Zhang Juzheng in surprise.

He has been busy all day today preparing to bring meritorious men of Jingwei martial arts into the palace to receive military medals, so he still doesn't know that Zhu Yijun ordered the execution of the two censors.

"Go and see!"

"Follow me to have a look!"

After Zhu Yijun said that, he walked out first.

　This week I rushed to Sanjiang again, so I want to follow up.In addition, starting tomorrow, I will adjust my schedule, so I will update it at night in the future.
