Domineering Daming

Sun Chuanting, Fu Changzong and others were terrified, and there was a look of fear in their eyes.

This reminded them of some things that they had almost forgotten. This overwhelming wave of attacks was just like the ones that fell strictly, slow, and high back then. Recently, Ye Xianggao, Zhao Nanxing and other big bosses almost all fell on this kind of attack. In the waves of attack.

No one can persevere in such a "people's support", and there is almost no other way except to resign from office wisely and protect himself!

This is not a good sign, something seems to be coming back.

Sun Chengzong is already in his 70s. He is a person who has experienced the era of Zhang Juzheng. He deeply understands the horror of party struggle. It's not that you can fall down as soon as you say it, and you can't die well after death.

This is an individual or a party, but the drag on the country is unimaginable.Back then, Xu Jie held Jiajing's edict and won the hearts of the world, trying to rectify all kinds of chaos in Jiajing and vigorously reform, but he fell within a few years.Gao Gong is also a capable person, but he struggled in the party struggle, and he didn't end well in the end.With all the big bosses gone, Zhang Juzheng had a good environment, inherited their reform ambitions, and was dug up and flogged his corpse after death. What a miserable end!

The biggest contributors to this are the officials represented by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Ke Dao. Since Chenghua, they have almost controlled the court situation. No big boss dare to ignore it, and they are the sharpest knives , invincible, invincible, even the emperor is afraid of three points.

Sun Chengzong remained silent, he thought of Emperor Wanli who had been hiding in the deep palace for more than 20 years, why not because of the Yanguan's siege and interception, even the last wish of King Lifu as the prince was also folded in the words of the Yanguan.

Sun Chengzong raised his head to look at Sun Chuanting, and said indifferently: "Can those congressmen shut up?"

Sun Chuanting frowned, and said calmly: "There are many policies in our cabinet that require the approval of these councilors, and we should not put too much pressure on them. Moreover, these people are inextricably linked to Nanzhili, so it is not easy for them to shut up. "

Since Zhang Juzheng, there has been no chief minister who can overwhelm the whole court. Each of them is struggling to maintain without enough prestige. The same is true for Bi Ziyan.

"How long will it take to solve the case in Yangzhou Mansion?" Fu Changzong asked.In the final analysis, this matter was caused by the case. As long as the case is solved, the bottom line will be drawn, and other matters can be dealt with calmly.

Prince Jing shook his head and said, "You have all read the official report of the Governor's Council on this case. This matter is not that simple, and it took a while to solve the case."

Sun Chengzong's face was indifferent, and he said in a deep voice: "It's okay to talk about the outside world. It can always be suppressed. It will not affect the overall situation. The key is the parliament. If they continue to make trouble, it will only get worse and worse. It will be difficult to deal with it later. In my opinion, we still have to deal with it." Please speak to the emperor."

In the entire Ming Dynasty, the only one who can shut up everyone is His Majesty the Emperor, Zhu Xu, who is now accompanying the Empress in Yunwu Mountain.

Everyone understands that there are many people who are dissatisfied with the "New Deal" both inside and outside the government. At this time, if they attack the cabinet under the banner of severely punishing the Yangzhou government, they will really have to give an explanation. right in front of you.

What a skillful way, what a familiar result.

Fu Changzong thought for a while, then turned to Sun Chuanting and said, "Baigu, you have to go to Yunwu Mountain for this matter. The emperor doesn't know when he will come back, but the parliament must stop and they can't become new speakers, otherwise the 'New Deal' will definitely come to an end." It collapsed in half."

Sun Chuanting understood the seriousness of the matter, nodded and got up and said, "Okay, I'll go now, and Mr. Bi Ge will comfort him. Don't let him make mistakes. Be extra cautious at this time."

According to the usual practice, with such a big wave of impeachment, the person being impeached must either submit a letter to defend himself, or take the initiative to "bring back his illness". No matter which one is the beginning, it will be the beginning of resignation and return to his hometown, which must not be done.

Sun Chengzong and others nodded, and said: "The emperor has never really experienced party disputes, Bai Gu, when you talk about it, you must let the emperor understand the seriousness of this matter."

The national parliament is a special structure, which holds the power to review and approve the government affairs of the cabinet. It is even more terrifying than the previous six divisions to deny and refute the imperial decree. If they become another division and become the speaker, it will be even more terrifying. Just thinking about it makes people shudder.

Sun Chuanting nodded, and said: "Well, I understand, I'm going now. Let me say something more, what the court has to do now is to unite and endure. You must not say a word or take an extra step, otherwise it will be someone else's mouth, let me It will be more difficult to move around."

Sun Chengzong and the others nodded silently. This incident caught them off guard and brought the entire Ming Dynasty's "New Deal" to a standstill. Everyone in the world is watching the court's actions. At this time, they can only stop with silence. The legitimacy of the "New Deal" will be lost, and the consequences will be disastrous.

The "New Deal" must be completely correct, unique, and irrefutable.Don't say that you have lost your legitimacy, even if it is discussion, you will be caught in the quagmire of controversy and it will be difficult to get out.

Sun Chengzong and others nodded and watched Sun Chuanting leave the palace.

After Sun Chuanting left, Sun Chengzong turned his head to look at King Jing, and said, "There is still something to do at the Governor's Office."

Following the actions taken in the first half of the year, the Governor's Council gradually became more prominent, its power continued to deepen its operation, and its influence on the local area continued to increase. King Jing was also becoming more and more dignified. Listening to Sun Chengzong's words, he said: "Okay, I will give it a try. .”

Sun Chengzong nodded, then looked back at Bi Ziyan's classroom, where it was quiet, with the cold air that strangers should not enter.

Sun Chengzong sighed in his heart, there was nothing he could do about it.

The party struggle in Ming Dynasty has a deep background, and it cannot be resolved overnight.

Wang Xue is a breakthrough to Confucianism. It has been popular since Jiajing. The whole world is Wang Mingyang’s disciples. Various schools come and go, fighting endlessly, and then spreading to the court. It can be said that the beginning of party disputes is the debate on learning. Xu Jie, Gao Gong and even Zhang Juzheng, including Ye Xianggao and Zhao Nanxing later, are all masters of learning, who have written books and made talks, and then want to promote their ideas of governing the country.

"It's no wonder that the emperor would say such cruel words as changing your mind before changing your person, or changing your head if you don't change your mind..."

Sun Chengzong looked silent, and sighed softly in his heart. He knew that Zhu Xu had seen farther than them and had been preparing early.Whether it's the Strategy Department, the Qingfeng Department, or the Fourth and Fifth Halls, the textbook syllabus, etc., they are all for the purpose of washing away the decadence of Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, the congressmen on the second floor are now inexplicably excited, running and cheering.

"Brother Chen, your sentence 'the ministers of the foreign court, the tigers and wolves take care of them, and they are as cowardly as black ink' is really good!"

"I still like Brother Li's phrase 'State affairs are like thick, foreign ministers are like sugar, state affairs are like soup, foreign ministers are like spoons, state affairs are difficult, foreign ministers are lucky', it is really meaningful and endless..."

"Haha, it's easy to say, polite and polite. By the way, I just wrote to me in the same year as Yingtian, saying that the imperial envoy mostly enjoys himself in the government office and stays at home. I haven't checked the reason so far..."

"As soon as I heard about it, the entire Jiangzuo was in a state of flux. Only the government and the imperial envoys were indifferent. They were drunk all day long and never used anything. What is the use of the court to support these people..."

"The top acts like the bottom, and the fault of the bottom lies in the top. If the court remains unchanged, how to change those people outside, we still work hard. Colleagues, we must not relax!"

"That's right, many people from Shandong sent me a letter. More than 30 of them plan to join forces to investigate this matter thoroughly and never let the weak ones go, so as to prevent such things from happening again!"

"Okay, there are more than 20 people in Shanxi. I have already asked them to send the memorandum. Two days later, they will be sent to the Supervisor of Ceremonies. The emperor will return to Beijing in a short time. I will see how long the cabinet can hold!"

"There is a mountain of memorials, even if the emperor protects him, he still has to show something. At that time, if we work a little harder, there will be major changes in the six ministries of the cabinet!"

Now the cabinet, the relationship between the six ministries is very complicated. No matter which one moves, it will definitely shock the entire officialdom.

Yunwu Mountain is just outside the capital, not too far away, Sun Chuanting arrived and talked a lot with Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu had already heard some things, but from Sun Chuanting's mouth, things seemed to be different.

Zhu Xu sat on the chair, looked at Sun Chuanting, and said, "Is it really so serious?"

Sun Chuanting also had ups and downs in the Tianqi Dynasty. He knew the horror of party disputes, and said with a solemn face: "I didn't add fuel and vinegar, based on the facts. Gao Xinzheng was determined to reform back then, but in the seven or eight years of his reign, the cabinet was always arguing. Things that can be done can be done in ten days and a half months. There are quarrels in the cabinet, quarrels in court meetings, quarrels in the court, and quarrels in the localities. They have become new speech officials, and the cabinet and the six ministries will compete against each other. The consequences will be unimaginable. If there are more ambitious people to push the flames and seek high positions, the excellent situation that the emperor has worked hard for many years will be wiped out..."

Sun Chuanting was very serious about every word.

Gao Xinzheng, also known as Gao Gong, laid an excellent foundation for Zhang Juzheng's reform and was a very capable chief assistant.

Zhu Xu had read all kinds of historical records of the Ming Dynasty more than once, so he naturally knew that the chief assistants since Jiajing listened to Sun Chuanting's words with a calm expression.

In this matter, he and Sun Chuanting actually have completely different views.In his view, the parliament has not yet understood its own powers and responsibilities, what it should do specifically, and how to operate. It wants to show its sense of presence when it seizes the opportunity, and it has been "bullyed" by the cabinet for a long time and has accumulated resentment. There is such an opportunity , naturally want to vent.

But Sun Chuanting doesn't think so. The national parliament has the right to review and reject the policies and decrees of the cabinet. If this institution is in conflict with the cabinet, the consequences will be dire.

If they become speech officials and lead the world's scholars, who else will be their opponents?If someone with a heart takes advantage of it and controls it, his power will surpass that of the Chief Assistant and even the Prime Minister in an instant, and it will be no problem to threaten the country!

The cabinet, or the civil servants will never allow this to happen.

Zhu Xu was thinking in his heart, and when Sun Chuanting finished speaking, he lowered his head slightly and said, "I understand what you mean, you want me to suppress those councilors and not allow them to write impeachment letters?"

Sun Chuanting looked at Zhu Xu, and said solemnly: "Yes. On the surface, this matter is the case of the Yangzhou government, but it is actually aimed at the 'New Deal'. The 'New Deal' has been created from scratch, and Mr. Bi Ge personally took care of it. When he leaves, no one will be able to take on the big responsibility, and the 'New Deal' may well die."

Zhu Xu picked up the tea beside him and began to meditate.

His purpose is to establish a complete, modern, and advanced system. This system already has a model, but it is too advanced. What we do is to maintain this system, let it mature slowly, and keep ahead of the world to ensure its advanced nature.

Seeing Zhu Xu pondering, Sun Chuanting was quite disturbed.
