Domineering Daming

Zhu Youjian kept frowning as he listened to it. He didn't pay attention to it at first, but after listening to Prince Jing's words and calculating carefully, he was extremely shocked.

Such expenses cannot be achieved without a hundred taels of silver a month!

Could it be that the entire Ming Dynasty officials are corrupt officials?

Zhu Luhu looked at Yang Lian's unpredictable face, and chased after him: "Master Yang, do you think my Governor's Council is only investigating and prosecuting officials who are prostitutes and prostitutes? The reason why we put more emphasis on it is because behind prostitution and prostitution, there is rampant corruption. It's the corruption of the officials, the corruption of the entire Ming Dynasty, and this is what the Governor's Council wants to deal with! As the censor of the Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you can't even see through this?"

Yang Lian's face was ugly, and his eyes flickered non-stop.

How could he not see through? He was subconsciously opposed. Even now, in his opinion, the Governor’s Council is doing too much, and it cannot arouse the uneasiness of the officials in the world. He must appease them, so that they can unite as one, focus on state affairs, and clean up the world. , ZTE Daming!

Yang Lian suppressed the discomfort in his heart and the unsightly expression on his face, and raised his hand to Zhu Xu: "Your Majesty, no matter what Prince Jing said, this action has already aroused fear among all the officials in the capital. If you do things, all the government offices will be paralyzed, I ask the emperor to appease and order the governor's office to stop patrolling Shuntian."

King Ping hugged his stomach and looked at Yang Lian. He was so fat that he couldn't see anything, but he knew what Yang Lian said.

If Zhu Xu's clear decree is issued, these matters will no longer be investigated in the future, which means that the emperor "bows his head and admits his mistakes", which marks that the purge of officials has completely failed, and there will be no future.

This is also Yang Lian's purpose, he wants to protect the entire Donglin Party!

Zhu Xu raised his head lightly, and glanced at King Jing Zhu Luhu.

Zhu Luhu understood, raised his hand to Zhu Xu, and Zhu Youjian said: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, Mr. Yang is really messing around, which has caused me to have nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty. The Metropolitan Procuratorate has made no achievements in recent years. Instead, it has become a cover for corrupt officials. , I suggest abolishing the Metropolitan Procuratorate, reorganizing it, and merging it into our Supervisory Council!"

Yang Lian and Zhu Youjian changed their faces almost at the same time, and looked at Prince Jing in surprise.

Yang Lian was surprised because Zhu Luhu was so bold that he wanted to abolish the Metropolitan Procuratorate!

Zhu Youjian was startled, it was only at this moment that he realized that this was Zhu Xu's goal - he wanted to abolish the Metropolitan Procuratorate!

Zhu Youjian's head was covered with thin cold sweat, and he had completely figured it out. With Zhu Xu's always cautious and prudent character, it is impossible to really make all the officials in the capital anxious and careless. He just wanted to use this to abolish The Metropolitan Procuratorate, which highly overlaps with the Governor's Yuan!

Yang Lian's face changed in shock, his eyes widened, and he stared at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, I object! The Metropolitan Procuratorate was established by the Taizu himself. The Metropolitan Procuratorate has six departments and inspects all officials in the world. It is the most important office of the imperial court and must not be abolished!"

Zhu Xu watched the play for a long time, and then said: "Master Yang, your Metropolitan Procuratorate really disappointed me, how about this, leave this matter to Wen Zhaoge to handle. In addition, recall all the imperial censors who are out , all returned to Beijing, and the Governor's Council is preparing to file a case, and they must be screened in detail!"

Listening to Zhu Xu handing over this matter to King Xin, Yang Lian also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If the emperor insisted on holding on to this matter, he would have no room for change.

But Zhu Youjian heard that this was not the case. This was what Zhu Xu had prepared a long time ago, but in the end he gave him the decision-making power, which was clearly a scapegoat for the abolition of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!

But before he could think of words to evade, Zhu Xu had already got up and left Wucheng Pavilion quickly.

Yang Lian also confessed with a sullen face, and left Wucheng Pavilion quickly.The Metropolitan Procuratorate was their last stronghold in Donglin, and he couldn't lose it anymore, so he had to find a way to keep it.

Zhu Youjian took a deep look at Prince Jing, and then turned back to Wenzhao Pavilion.To keep Yang Lian, he also needs to think calmly and handle this matter properly.

After both of them had left, Prince Ping glanced at Prince Jing, turned around staggeringly, and said at the same time: "This Governor's Council will not be able to live in peace from now on, I can't control it anymore..."

Prince Jing let out a breath, looking at Prince Ping's back, dancing with hot flames, until his back disappeared, and then whispered to himself: "You just want to be a romantic prince who doesn't care about anything, I don't want to..."

Chapter 393

Yang Lian hurried back to the mansion, and not long after, his huge lobby was full of more than 50 people.

Whether in the court or in the opposition, and whether it is an enemy or a friend, now it is the time for the survival of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, or the Donglin Party, and no one cares about these things.

Ye Xianggao, Han Huang, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Gu Dazhang, Ruan Dacheng, Wei Dazhong and others all gathered together with solemn expressions.

Zuo Guangdou swept across a group of people, and said in a deep voice, "Prince Jing's words are not unreasonable, but the abolition of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is too much!"

Wei Dazhong went on to say: "That's right, there is no such thing as science and ethics, and only the Metropolitan Procuratorate is left. If there is no Metropolitan Procuratorate, what will be used to restrain traitors and maintain the court's discipline!"

Huang Dewei said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate can't do it. We must fight this matter with all our strength!"

Ruan Dacheng sat in a corner, glanced at the crowd, and tried his best to shrink his neck so as not to show himself.His identity is very embarrassing, even though he is from Donglin, he also flirts with Wei Zhongxian and flirts with him, it's okay if others don't mention it, but if he mentions it, he will be a street rat.

Ye Xianggao sat on the top with his hands folded, his face sullen and solemn.

Han Huang's face was thin, his eyes were shining brightly, and he looked straight ahead.

Yang Lian's face was more sad, frowning, he was listening all the time and didn't speak.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate has always been the most important base of their Donglin Party, especially since the Beijing Procuratorate is about to start soon, they must not lose the Metropolitan Procuratorate, otherwise the consequences of this Beijing Procuratorate will be unpredictable, not to mention the future.

Over the years, the Donglin Party has attacked countless evil parties. If they were to be liquidated, Donglin would be destroyed.

Every word you say and I say are all making suggestions. They are very good at writing memorials and suppressing dissidents, but they seem a little at a loss when facing the abolition of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The most important thing is that the current emperor's mind is unpredictable. Whether it is public opinion or the offensive, it is difficult to work, and their best methods are useless.

"The key to this matter is King Xin." After a long time, Han Huang said in a tone neither happy nor sad.

Ye Xianggao upholds harmony and hopes that the government will be stable, but Han Huang thinks of governing by doing nothing. The two have different views, but their behaviors are very close.

Ye Xianggao looked around and said with the expression of presiding over a cabinet meeting: "My lords, the root cause of this matter is that the emperor is dissatisfied with the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the law and order of the court have been abolished. This is not only the responsibility of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. , It still depends on King Xin's decision."

Except for Han Huang, no one else here has seen Ye Xianggao preside over cabinet affairs. Yang Lian looked at Ye Xianggao respectfully and said, "Mr. Officials are not officials, people are not people, and the rules and regulations of the court are no longer strict, which is really an act of barren government!"

Zuo Guangdou's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said to Ye Xianggao: "Mr. Ye Ge, I heard that you, Mr. Sun Ge, and Bi Shangshu have a very close relationship. Can you turn this matter around?"

Everyone is a veteran of the imperial court, so they know that Zuo Guangdou is talking about Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan, the two emperor teachers who are teaching Zhu Xu now.

Ye Xianggao turned his eyes to Zuo Guangdou, then pondered for a while, and said, "I can take a trip, but the result is unknown."

Bi Ziyan has always been neutral, never mixing with Donglin, and never bowing down to eunuchs.Sun Chengzong is from Donglin, but he always upholds himself and does not participate in party struggles. It is not easy to persuade these two people to side with Donglin.

Yang Lian also understands that Ye Xianggao is a good old man with a good reputation, but he doesn't have enough prestige. If anyone can barely unify the huge Donglin Party, the only one who has been demoted is Zhao Nanxing.

After a long time, no good solution was discussed, Yang Lian stood up and said: "In this case, let's split up and take action. We should write the memorial and write it. Not only the Beijing officials have to write it, but the outside world must also be mobilized. As long as there are enough, the emperor will also There will be scruples!"

Everyone could only agree and split up.

Ruan Dacheng also left the Yang Mansion with others, but instead of returning to the mansion to write the memorial, he went to Wei Zhongxian's private house.

It wasn't just the Donglin Party that was worried, Zhu Youjian was also conflicted in his heart, so he summoned a group of people from Wenzhao Pavilion to discuss.

Jiang Dejing has gradually stabilized his position in Wenzhao Pavilion, showing calmness and wisdom. He is very clear that the most important support for King Xin now comes from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. If Yang Lian and others lose their power, Wenzhao Pavilion will really become a display .

With sharp eyes, he looked at Zhu Youjian and said, "My lord, the Governor's Council has been established for more than half a year. Presumably the emperor has thought about it a long time ago. It is too late to object now. The most important thing is to keep the authority of Yang Dahong and others." , especially Jingcha in the near future, must not fall into the hands of Prince Ping, Prince Jing and others!"

When Qian Longxi heard this, he quickly said: "My lord, there are enough reasons for this. Presumably the emperor will not allow the Governor's Council to become bigger. The key is how to explain to the emperor so that Yang Dahong and others will not be upset. resentment."

The others didn't speak. Wenzhao Pavilion can be said to be a bystander. After careful review of the scenes after the emperor ascended the throne, the answer is obvious.

First, the cabinet was shut down, Zhao Nanxing and others were ousted, and then the Kedao officials were expelled from Beijing. Now, the final foundation of Donglin, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, is to be abolished. Isn't it to completely eradicate the Donglin Party?

The Donglin Party at its peak was unknowingly dispersed by the emperor, and it has been down to this day. Does the current Donglin Party have anything that can compete with the will of Jingyang Palace?

Now it is no longer the apocalypse. During the Wanli period, there was a surging attack that made the emperor fearful, but the outer court that could influence the emperor's will will never exist again.
