Domineering Daming

Inferior status means that he is only a seventh-rank official in the matter, which is not very impressive in a place like the capital.

The power is very heavy, and it can be explained directly in one sentence: they have the right to refute the imperial edict of the emperor, and send it back to the cabinet to re-draft!

This shows how terrible the rights of the six subjects are!

Six subjects, soldiers, households, rites, punishments, workers, and officials.The Ministry of Officials is known as the head of the six departments. Naturally, the position given to the Department of Officials is the most important. The promotion and dismissal of the civil service system are all reviewed by them. Yue is at least a fourth-rank official, and he may be a third-rank Taoist!

With great power and quick promotion, no one is willing to let go of this position.The Donglin Party is also connected with cronies, so they will naturally use "our own people".

Thus, contradictions arise.

There are three substitutes for the position given by the official department, namely Liu Honghua, Ruan Dacheng, and Wei Dazhong.According to the established law, Liu Honghua should take over, but Liu Honghua's mother died of illness, and Ding You will return home soon, so this position will be vacated.

These three people are all members of the Donglin Party. It is reasonable to say that internal reconciliation is enough, but in fact, there are many hills in the Donglin Party. No one is fully convinced, and they are not a party in the true sense. up.

Donglin party leader Zhao Nanxing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Gao Panlong, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, discussed privately, intending to give this position to Wei Dazhong, whom they trusted more.

And Ruan Dacheng is a friend of Zuo Guangdou's hometown, and it was Zuo Guangdou who wrote a letter to call him back to the capital from his hometown, with the purpose of competing for this position.

At the court meeting, officials from all walks of life are proud of being outspoken and admonishing, so they all make generous statements, no matter how big the official is, how prestige is, as long as they grasp the flaws, they will step forward to argue.

Zuo Guangdou and Yang Lian had made great efforts in the "moving palace case", that is, Zhu Youxiao's succession. Although the official position was not high enough, but the prestige was high, and there were a group of like-minded people standing behind them. They were evenly matched with Zhao Nanxing and Gao Panlong, and it was hard to tell the winner.

Jinghuan Palace, side hall.

Zhu Xu sat obediently at the table with a straight body, holding a book, and listened carefully to Yang Lian's stammering "Historical Records".

Yang Lian regarded Zhu Xu as a child who had just been enlightened, and explained in detail the historical situation from the origin of Shiji to Sima Qian at that time.

Zhu Xu was eager to learn, so he naturally listened carefully.

At this time, there will be no filling in the blanks, feelings, appreciation of ancient poems, composition... The first priority is to memorize it by heart, memorize it thoroughly, and recite it backwards and forwards.

Yang Lian held the book and stood in front of her with an indifferent face. After reading a few words, she glanced at Zhu Xu to make sure that Zhu Xu was listening to the class seriously, and then continued.

One class takes more than two hours.

Yang Lian closed the book, looked at Zhu Xu and said, "That's all for today's class. Next time I come, I'm going to take the exam for Your Highness." After finishing speaking, he picked up the book and walked outside.

Zhu Xu hurriedly stood up, bowed respectfully and said: "Mr. Congratulations."

After Yang Lian walked away, Zhu Xu let out a long breath.It's been a long time since he restrained himself like this, and he was really tired after sitting for so long.

Standing up while slapping his legs, he picked up the book and walked out of the side hall.

Just as Zhu Xu walked out of the gate, Cao Wenzhao came over and said, "Your Highness, things have changed."

Zhu Xu had a sore leg and walked slowly, asking, "What's changed?"

Cao Wenzhao didn't seem to know what to say, he was silent for a while before he said: "The people in the court who originally supported Ruan Dacheng suddenly stopped talking, and someone impeached him."

"Ruan Dacheng?"

The corners of Zhu Xu's eyes twitched, he was amazed in his heart, and thought to himself, "Sure enough, I can't escape, this is a famous figure among the remnants of the eunuchs in history..."

"Tell me some gossip." Zhu Xu smiled.

Cao Wenzhao coughed, looked at Zhu Xu and said, "It is said that Ruan Dacheng and Mr. Zuo had an old concubine and were arrested."

"Walk, go into the room, and talk about the process in detail."

Zhu Xu frowned and laughed.As long as this kind of thing doesn't happen to me, I'm always happy to hear it.

At the same time, Ruan Dacheng, who was at odds with Zuo Guang, was full of resentment, thinking about it at home, but still couldn't swallow it, he pushed the door, got on the sedan chair, and said directly to the butler, "Go to the east of the city, Wei Mansion! "

Wei Zhongxian could not stay in the palace, he should have lived in Dongchang, but in fact, as we all know, he has a private mansion in the east of the city.

The butler saw that his master was not very happy, so he didn't dare to ask more questions, urged the bearers, and went straight to the east of the city in a grand manner.

When he came to the courtyard of Wei Mansion, Ruan Dacheng hesitated again.

Although there are many hills within the Donglin Party, they are all cronies with intricate relationships.Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong and the others did not blindly force Wei Dazhong to be appointed as the official department, but also used many means to free up the engineering department for him.

But in an instant, he thought of the sentence that appeared on the court meeting, "It's not possible to use the inspection code to get closer."

With a serious expression on his face, he strode towards the gate of the Wei Mansion, and at the same time secretly hated him: "Zuo Guangdou, Zhao Nanxing, you have insulted me today, and I will repay you a hundredfold in the future!"

He slapped the door angrily, and knocked on the door of Wei Mansion again and again.

Soon, the servant opened the door, looked at Ruan Dacheng arrogantly, and shouted coldly: "Who are you, do you dare to act presumptuously if you know whose mansion this is?"

Ruan Dacheng suppressed the anger in his heart, lowered his figure and said: "The next official is Ruan Dacheng, a member of the official department, please see Eunuch Wei."

The servant took a look, closed the door and said, "Wait!"

Ruan Dacheng took a deep breath, stood in front of the door and waited.

Not long after, the servant opened the door and said to Ruan Dacheng, "Master Ruan, please come in. Eunuch Wei is meeting guests. Please wait in the side room."

Ruan Dacheng put his posture extremely low, followed his servant into the door, sat drinking tea in the side room, and waited slowly.

Not long after, he saw people coming out of the lobby like a tide, and his expression was startled.

He saw Guan Yingzhen, Xu Dahua, and even Shen Yiguan's nephew in the crowd!

These people are all from the evil party. Why are they here?

The so-called evil party refers to all cliques except Donglin in the eyes of the Donglin Party.

The Donglin Party used various methods, especially the Jingcha, to drive almost all other cronies out of the court, creating a scene where all the people are prosperous and the revival of the Ming Dynasty is imminent.

But at this moment, all the important members of the evil party are gathered in Wei Zhongxian's residence!

Ruan Dacheng's eyes were horrified, but then his face twitched slightly, his eyes were resentful, and a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth.

Chapter 151

With hatred in his heart, Ruan Dacheng met Li Yongzhen who was acting as a housekeeper for Wei Zhongxian.

"Eunuch Li." Ruan Dacheng raised his hand with a humble look on his face.

Li Yongzhen looked indifferently, glanced at him and said: "I heard that you have something to see Eunuch Wei?"

Ruan Dacheng looked at Li Yongzhen, gritted his teeth secretly, and said with a calm face: "Yes, the lower officials have evidence that Zhao Nanxing and others cheated in selecting officials and secretly handing over and receiving them. I want to present it to Eunuch Wei."

Li Yongzhen's expression changed suddenly, and he said, "Is this true?"

At present, the Donglin Party is most eager and pressures Wei Zhongxian the most, and that is Zhao Nanxing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.It would definitely be a great thing if he was caught!
