Domineering Daming

The clerk responded and left quickly.The criminal department is too busy, there are too many cases to deal with, and the ones from Nanzhili alone are enough for them to deal with until the middle of next year.

Yang Jinchu returned to the classroom, sat on the chair, his expression was silent for a while, he still picked up the pen, opened a text, looked up and wrote: resignation letter, three large characters.

He quickly wrote more than 100 words, waited for a while, closed them, put them in his arms, and left the classroom, saying: "Prepare the carriage and enter the palace."

The carriage took Yang Jinchu, pressed against the snow, and rushed towards the cabinet at a leisurely pace.

The cold wind outside blows into the carriage, Yang Jinchu's face remains expressionless, but his eyes are sad, lonely, emotional, and seem to let out a breath with a smile.

Not long after, Fu Changzong was in class.

Fu Changzong looked at the letter of resignation in front of him, looked up at Yang Jinchu, and said calmly: "You should know, Your Majesty, Mr. Sun Ge valued you very much. No accident, it is inevitable that you will join the cabinet within ten years. You have such a bright future. , why did you resign?"

Yang Jinchu was calmer than him, without saying a word, and handed another letter from his arms.

Fu Changzong took it over and opened it, his expression froze.

This is a "expulsion letter", which was written by Yang Jinchu's elder brother. The general meaning of the letter is that Yang Jinchu has no integrity in order to seek glory and wealth, and he has no integrity to go along with courtiers like Sun Chuanting. , for the shame of the ancestors of the Yang family, he is to be removed from the Yang family tree, and has nothing to do with the Yang family.Finally, I also wish Yang Jinchu to fly to Huang Tengda, and to glorify future generations.

Such a letter, in this day and age, is enough to make anyone fearful.

If Yang Jinchu continued to stay in the court, he would become the laughing stock of the world, not to mention the clan, even strangers would spit.

It is true that you will be drowned by spit!

The children and grandchildren in the family will naturally be ashamed and ashamed to see others. A woman with a little bit of integrity will take out a divorce letter and say: You have a future, but it is difficult to get along with a cheap wife. Today, please give me a letter of divorce. Tell the parents at home.

If she refuses to give a divorce letter, the woman will usually take the child back to her natal home.

Such a person, let alone a foothold in the court, even on the street, what face does he have?

Fu Changzong himself was in trouble, looked at Yang Jinchu, shook his head slightly, and said: "When the family, country and society are in a dilemma, I will keep this letter first, and you can take it back at any time."

Yang Jinchu raised his hand, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ge. The lower official fled halfway, and he has no face to face his colleagues. Please don't ask me to stay."

Fu Changzong talked in his heart, nodded with a complicated expression, and said: "Don't be discouraged, after the clouds clear and the moon is bright, the emperor will definitely summon you back."

Yang Jinchu showed a smile on his face, and said: "I also believe that such a day will not be far away."

Even though Yang Jinchu was smiling, the loneliness in his eyes and face was still clearly visible.

They all know where Daming's problems are, and they also know the solution, but this matter is too difficult. Even now, they don't know whether it can be achieved or how long it will take. Faced with various pressures, they There are not many choices.

Fu Changzong looked at the lonely back of Yang Jinchu leaving with complicated eyes.

Yang Jinchu was the first minister to resign voluntarily this year, and also the first after Sun Chuanting went south. It is not yet known how much shock it will cause in the ruling and opposition parties.

After thinking about it, Fu Changzong went to Sun Chuanting's classroom with his letter of resignation.

Sun Chuanting did not approve Yang Jinchu's resignation, but gave him a big leave.

This can also be regarded as allowing him to have an explanation to the family, to keep his name, and he will not be criticized if he recovers in the future, which is a helpless preservation strategy.

However, the "resignation" of a six-part minister still caused a lot of waves, arousing a wave of opposition from the government and the opposition, and more pressure fell on the court represented by Sun Chuanting.

The revision of "Xi Zong Shilu" was proposed by some editors of the Imperial Academy. Originally, this voice was normal, and it was based on a "historical positioning" of major cases since Wanli, and this has been done all the time.

However, as Sun Chuanting wanted to reform the ancestral system, many members of the Hanlin Academy were angered.

The current Hanlin Academy has gathered many great Confucian scholars, which were prepared and included by Zhu Xu for many years.They are highly respected, and when they suddenly uttered a sound, Shilin would tremble three times.

Those who originally planned to sort out some major cases and draw conclusions on some doubtful cases were immediately used and coerced, and became the vanguard of public opinion against Sun Chuanting.

The Imperial Academy has the ability to edit, but has no power, because the Imperial Academy is now regarded as the "Liberal Academy" of Daming, and can undertake tasks from the Ministry of Rites, but it has no decision-making power.

Therefore, the ultimate pressure is concentrated on the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites has always been a department under great pressure, and Shen Xun's hair has turned gray a lot, especially in recent days.

Every day, some elders come to explain the truth to you and present the facts. They can only listen, but cannot refute, and agree with them with smiles. Who can bear it?

Now these people want to revise "Xi Zong Shilu", there is no problem at first, even if it is taboo, these people who have read books all their lives are very proficient in Spring and Autumn calligraphy.

But if people with ulterior motives want to use this to attack the cabinet, they have to be careful.

Chapter 1420 Resignation Again

On this day, another group of literary figures came to the Ministry of Rites and stayed in Shen Xun's class for a long time.

Throughout the past and the present, Sun Chuanting's government affairs have been described incisively and vividly. The ready-made examples are Wang Mang, Wang Anshi, etc., all of which are in chaos in the country and the people are in dire straits.

This indirectly equates Sun Chuanting as a "treacherous official", and he is short of directly criticizing and denouncing him loudly.

Shen Xun wanted to send these people away, but as soon as he returned to the classroom, his aide came in, holding a stack of letters in his hand, and said: "My lord, there are twenty letters written by great Confucianists in the wild, all of which state the benefits and losses of the 'New Deal' , your status is unusual, so I need you to reply one by one."

Shen Xun is also a person of status in the literary world. Hearing this, he sat on a chair, rubbed his temples, and said with a headache: "Now you understand the painstaking efforts of Mr. Bi Ge and his good intentions, right?"

The staff put the letter on Shen Xun's desk and said with an apologetic smile: "Students are not the ones who drive Elder Bi to step down."

I don't know how many people wanted to force Bi Ziyan to step down, but now, most of them regret it.

After driving away an old sheep, a hungry wolf came!

Shen Xun took a letter casually and said, "Is there any movement from Mr. Fu Ge?"

Naturally, what he was talking about was that Fu Tao's Royal Bank template was stolen, and counterfeit currency appeared on the market.

The staff looked solemn, and said: "Not yet, this is also a problem for Mr. Sun Ge. Mr. Fu Ge can't leave, no matter it is the 'New Deal' or the emperor, but this matter is caught outside. Let it go, and you can't deal with it in a low-key manner. At present, it seems that you can only take one step at a time."

Shen Xun looked at the letter and couldn't help but answer it. It was a literary master he visited during his study tour before, and he had "the kindness of Professor Banyue", so he was his teacher.

While replying, Shen Xun said: "I'm afraid that the more you procrastinate, the bigger the trouble will be. I don't know how many eyes are staring at you. I heard that King Ping lost a lot of money because of this incident?"

The staff said: "Yes, King Ping still has some business that has not been handed over to the clan's mansion. Most of it was deliberately left by the emperor for King Ping's retirement. It is said that he was cheated of 1 taels this time. The old prince was so distressed that he didn't go out for several days. .”

Shen Xun shook his head, closed the letter, took another letter, and said: "Prince Ping didn't make trouble, I'm afraid he knows that the matter is troublesome, and wants to stay out of it. Alright, let's go, keep an eye on the outside. The court is now turbulent, don't be careless, let's The Ministry of Etiquette should also be stricter, don't be taken advantage of by others, and you won't be able to step down."

The staff member raised his hand and said, "Yes, the students understand."

The imperial court is now a target. I don't know how many people are staring at it. They are nitpicking. Once they are nailed, no one will be able to please.

The staff just walked out, turned around and came in after a while, and handed over a letter with a more solemn expression, saying: "Mr. Chen Yiqing's personal letter."

Shen Xun's face changed slightly, he stood up suddenly, grabbed it in a hurry, and opened it in a hurry.

Chen Yiqing was a master of Confucianism in Daming, he was a disciple of Wang Yangming, and he played an important role in Daming. He has been hiding in the countryside, devoting himself to his studies, and never seeing anyone. No one has seen him for many years.

Shen Xun went to visit him when he returned to his hometown last year, but he was turned away.
