Domineering Daming

"you're right."

Bi Ziyan looked at the classrooms of Cao Huachun and others not far away on the third floor, nodded and shook his head, and said, "Zhisheng, I heard that you have been feeling unwell recently, do you want to rest for a while?"

Childish rope, the word of Sun Chengzong.Sun Chengzong is 77 years old this year, and he is still healthy and vigorous. A few days ago, he occasionally caught a cold and coughed for a few days.

Sun Chengzong looked at Bi Ziyan with a slightly condensed expression, and said, "What are you going to do?"

A smile suddenly appeared on Bi Ziyan's face, and he said, "Take care of yourself and take good care of your health. At our age, we can earn money by living an extra day."

With that said, he stepped up to the third floor.

Sun Chengzong looked at Bi Ziyan's back, feeling a little uneasy.Is Bi Ziyan going to do something before leaving?Afraid of him getting in the way?

Bi Ziyan waited in front of Zhu Xu's class, and entered with Sun Chengzong.

As usual, Zhu Xu greeted him to the small living room, made tea, and said with a smile, "Is there any way for the cabinet to deal with Wen Tiren's confession?"

Bi Ziyan sat opposite Zhu Xu, and said: "Yes, I plan to question Yu Dacheng, let Wen Tiren go to Beijing first, and then Fu Gelao goes to Shanxi to appease, I should be able to explain the past."

Zhu Xu stopped making tea, then picked it up as usual, and poured tea for Bi Ziyan.

He has been the emperor for ten years, condescending, and has a clear view of officialdom's tactics.

Bi Ziyan's method is obviously blocking, not sparse. It seems to be Bi Ziyan's consistent style, but at this time, it seems dazzling.

Bi Ziyan didn't realize it, Sun Chengzong kept staring at Zhu Xu, seeing his hands obviously stopped and his brows twitched, he felt even more uneasy.

Bi Ziyan wanted to make some arrangements before leaving. Are these arrangements the emperor's favorite?Who is in front of him? Obviously, he has already noticed something from Bi Ziyan's words.

Sun Chengzong wanted to reconcile, but before he opened his mouth, Zhu Xu's teacup was already on his lips. He suddenly looked up at Bi Ziyan, and said with a smile: "Master Bi has worked hard and worked hard for half his life for the country. I plan to make an exception and grant the Marquis to Master Bi."

Sun Chengzong's thin face became solemn, and he turned to Bi Ziyan.

The emperor in front of him not only noticed it, but also stated clearly that the purpose of conferring a knighthood is to prevent Bi Ziyan so that the monarch and his ministers can have a good result.

Bi Ziyan was very surprised by Zhu Xu's sudden knighthood, and couldn't figure out what Zhu Xu meant.

Is it implying that I will retire as soon as possible, or is it to appease the hearts of the ruling and opposition parties?

Bi Ziyan couldn't figure it out, so he said according to his habit: "I don't want to seek state affairs for the sake of fame and fortune. I don't dare to accept such kindness from the emperor. Please think twice."

Zhu Xu saw that Bi Ziyan didn't understand what he said, looked at the old man with white beard and hair, and nodded thoughtfully.

This old man has devoted himself to the country for many years and has paid too much. At this time, Zhu Xu decided to protect him and give him a good result!

Chapter 1238 The boundary between the emperor and the cabinet

Bi Ziyan, as the "chief assistant" of the cabinet, and with the approval of Zhu Xu, began to deal with the affairs of Shaanxi.

The first step was to remove Yu Dacheng from the position of prime minister of the six provinces on the charge of "dereliction of duty", and then revoked the position of prime minister.

In the second step, Wen Tiren and the entire Shaanxi Governor's Yamen were dismissed from their posts, and they remained in office pending punishment.

In the third step, the cabinet minister Fu Changzong personally went to Shaanxi in the name of the imperial envoy to thoroughly investigate everything.

After these three sets of combined punches, the boiling sound of the government and the public was reduced by half.

Afterwards, the news that Bi Ziyan would not retire this year came from the Supervisor of Rites, and the excitement in the government and the public suddenly decreased by half, and the uneasy hearts of all officials finally calmed down.

At the beginning of April, Fu Changzong left Beijing for Shaanxi.

Under the leadership of Bi Ziyan, the cabinet carried out large-scale personnel changes, focusing on the fifth rank to the third rank. More than 200 officials were exchanged under various names, involving many institutions of the ruling and opposition parties, and all aspects.

Naturally, the government and the public were violently shaken. Such a large-scale transfer of officials was extremely rare in Ming Dynasty. The last time it was Zhao Nanxing's use of the Beijing police to repel dissidents made the Donglin Party prosper.

In Bi Ziyan's class room, King Jing held a stack of notebooks in his hand, and said, "Everywhere has a lot of opinions on this transfer of officials. The Governor's Council has received hundreds of reports in just five days. It’s hard to tell right from wrong.”

Wang Qiaonian frowned even more, and said, "The notifications from Dali Temple are several times more. They are all related to these trusted officials. A lot of evidence is indeed true. It is difficult for Dali Temple in the local area, so they have reported to me."

Sun Chuanting took a sip of tea and said, "Not only that, but twenty officials have told me explicitly or implicitly that they cannot bear the pressure and do not plan to perform their duties."

Official positions have always been one radish and one pit. I don’t know how many people have tried their best to grab it, and the same is true for Daming’s official position.But the atmosphere in the officialdom of Ming Dynasty is very strange. This kind of strangeness appeared after Zhang Juzheng. There are a group of people staring at every fat and vacancies.

Who can live in such a trap, and often leave in three or two months.

This is also an important reason why in the last few decades of the Ming Dynasty in history, especially in the short 17 years of Chongzhen, more than 30 chief assistants, hundreds of ministers, and ministers were changed.

But it is different now. The difference is that the current officials are under great pressure. The "New Deal" is simply against the sky and against the people of the world.

Bi Ziyan's adjustments this time are highly targeted, and they are all key positions in the "New Deal". It is normal for some people to avoid the pressure due to pressure.

Bi Ziyan's expression turned ugly, he snorted coldly, and said, "Give me the list. Since you are so disturbed, how can you benefit the people? Go home and farm, and don't come back again!"

Bi Ziyan's words are tantamount to completely cutting off the official career of these people.

Sun Chuanting, King Jing and the others nodded dispensably, but they were actually uneasy in their hearts.

Bi Ziyan made such a big move, what exactly is he going to do before he is about to retire?

Prince Jing, Wang Qiaonian has nothing to do with his own affairs, and he doesn't worry too much. Sun Chuanting is different. He wants to replace Bi Ziyan as the "chief assistant". Now Bi Ziyan is doing so much, why?

Sun Chuanting had enough self-restraint, did not speak, his face was as calm and composed as before.

Bi Ziyan's face was not good-looking, but he just mentioned it, and then said: "Chen Qiyu has already arrived in Jiangsu, and there are a lot of troubles. I plan to stand on the platform for him, and I will go to Shenlong Mansion to have a look. The cabinet will be handed over to you."

King Jing, Wang Qiaonian, and Sun Chuanting's expressions changed slightly. At this moment, Bi Ziyan was leaving Beijing?

What is he going to do?

The three of Sun Chuanting knew that Bi Ziyan had to arrange some things, but they couldn't figure it out. They stared at Bi Ziyan calmly and carefully.

Bi Ziyan didn't care about the expressions of the three, and said again: "How is the matter in Shaanxi?"

King Jing suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said, "Old Fu Ge has appeased the officials in Shaanxi and Sichuan, and the impeachment transcripts are mostly missing. In half a month, he should be back."

Bi Ziyan nodded calmly, and said: "The 'New Deal' cannot be stopped, let alone slow down, you guys make a plan, go out for a walk in the first half of the year, and there are too many things in the second half of the year, we have to concentrate Don't be too scattered when doing things."

Sun Chuanting, Fu Changzong, and Wang Qiaonian looked at each other. What did Bi Ziyan mean? He left Beijing by himself and urged them to leave. What was the reason for this?

The three of them couldn't see through Bi Ziyan, and they didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in the pot.

But it is obvious that Bi Ziyan is deliberately planning something to prepare for the court situation after he retires.

The three of them were very worried, some worried about Bi Ziyan, and more worried about the court situation.

They are very clear about Mr. Bige's disposition. If he leaves too many behind for "stability", the future cabinet may have a headache.

But right now they can't stop it, at least not on the surface.Old Bi Ge's prestige is grand and powerful, if he wants to take someone with him at the last moment, he will definitely be able to do it!
