Domineering Daming

"The Governor's Yuan is the former Metropolitan Procuratorate, and has a close relationship with the Ministry of Officials. How did they get involved?"

"I heard that it was at the gate of the Royal Political Council. The fight was fierce. A fourth-rank official even did it himself..."

"Hey, you don't know, there was a son-in-law who came out to persuade the fight, and was beaten by both sides, haha..."

"Tell me, what will the imperial court do this time? Prince Jing has just joined the cabinet, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is our emperor's confidant. This time there will be a good show..."

"No, this group of people is really bold, they dare to do anything..."

Ordinary people watched the excitement, and all government and opposition officials knew very well that the reason for this group fight was that the Anti-Corruption Bureau used its power to retaliate against the "release" of those officials from the Ministry of Political Affairs. If the color wants to move the political science department again, as long as this contradiction is not resolved, there will still be troubles in the future.

At the same time, many people have doubts in their hearts. The Governor's Council, the Ministry of Officials, and the Royal Council are all the emperor's confidants. Why did they fight?

Chapter 824 Big stick and sweet dates

The fight between the Ministry of Officials and the Governor's Council this time can be said to be an unexpected incident, or it can be said to be the inevitable result of long-standing conflicts.

When the emperor was not in the palace, everything was pushed to the cabinet and became the cusp of the storm.

King Jing and Zhou Yingqiu met at the patrol camp. Although the two were not so familiar, it was really embarrassing to meet here now.

Although the patrol battalion is under the control of the Ministry of War, the position is right there. The captains in the central area are quite stubborn, and according to the rules, they were handed over to King Jing. Zhou Yingqiu verbally educated them and ordered them to write a "guarantee letter" before they were willing to release him. .

King Jing and Zhou Yingqiu were the same, putting on airs here would be self-defeating, they just wanted to leave as soon as possible, finished the process, led the people, and quickly returned to the yamen, and then refused to show up again.

Naturally, there was another turmoil inside. Yuan Renxiao and Wei Xuelian could only temporarily suspend their posts, depending on what the cabinet and the emperor wanted.

Sun Chengzong and Bi Ziyan had already received the news. They stood up from their respective chairs, holding teacups and looking at the heavy snow outside. Even if there was carbon in the room and hot tea in their hands, they would not be much warmer.

Sun Chengzong glanced at Bi Ziyan and said, "What are you going to do?"

Bi Ziyan also had a headache. The Compassionate Ning Palace specially sent an inner prisoner outside the door, saying that they were waiting for the news of the emperor's return to the palace, so they were here to put pressure.

"The eighth princess hasn't left yet?" Bi Ziyan asked Zheng Youyuan who was not far from the door.

"No." Zheng Youyuan took two steps forward and said, "The queen mother must wait until the emperor returns to the palace."

Bi Ziyan held the teacup in one hand and rubbed the tea with the lid in the other, and nodded slightly.

When a son-in-law is beaten, it is usually a trivial matter, and he can suppress it. Now it is the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Governor's Yuan who are gang-fighting, and the son-in-law is involved. If the harem does not stop, the emperor will have to deal with it.

"Zhang Wenda hasn't gone to fetch someone yet?" Sun Chengzong asked.

Zheng Youyuan said: "No, the door of the Ministry of Punishment is closed, and Zhang Shangshu seems to have no shame."

"If it were me, I would have no face!" Bi Ziyan snorted suddenly.He was very dissatisfied with this matter. Of course, people in the world would laugh at these ministers, and in the end the infamy had to be recited by the cabinet.

Three elders made of paper, two elders made of clay, and a blind and deaf cabinet, who wants to get such a reputation!

Sun Chengzong glanced at him, shook his head and said: "Zhang Wenda is confused, we can't follow, if we don't lead him out early, how should we solve this matter?"

Bi Ziyan frowned slightly, looked up at Zheng Youyuan knowingly, and said in a bad tone: "Go and tell Zhang Wenda, and bring him out immediately. If he doesn't go, I will personally go to the Ministry of Punishment to beg him!"

"Yes!" Zheng Youyuan knew that Bi Ge was really angry when he heard it, so he quickly responded and turned to go out.

Sun Chengzong looked at Bi Ziyan's expression, turned around, and said with a rare relaxed smile: "Don't worry, we have to learn more from the emperor."

"Your Excellency?" Bi Ziyan turned around, and the two sat down at a small table, Bi Ziyan muttered to himself thoughtfully.

Sun Chengzong put down his teacup and said with a smile: "Push the boat along with the current, see the needles in every corner, push the bad things to the good side, break them and make them stand..."

Bi Ziyan got along with Sun Chengzong for a long time, and he also had some understanding of Zhu Xu, and gradually he recognized the taste, and thought deeply: "You mean, we can use this opportunity to weaken the officials?"

"Yeah." Sun Chengzong nodded slightly.

Bi Ziyan sat up straight, thinking in his heart.This is indeed a good opportunity. No one has anything to say when they hit the board of officials. The key is a "degree".

After a while, Bi Ziyan glanced at Sun Chengzong and asked, "How do you think the emperor will deal with this matter?"

Sun Chengzong pondered for a while, shook his head and said, "Recently Zhou Yingqiu has been unusually low-key, presumably the emperor has already told him something, what you really want to do, you need to discuss it with him, so as not to cause trouble."

Naturally, Bi Ziyan knew that a tiger would never fall. Zhou Yingqiu had been in the bureaucracy for many years, and even with the emperor's acquiescence, he could not act rashly. Otherwise, if Zhou Yingqiu rebounded, the cabinet would be extremely passive, and the impact on the subsequent power collection plan would be immeasurable. .

After thinking silently for a while, Bi Ziyan suddenly stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Come here, wait for Zhang Wenda to lead the people, and inform the six ministers, as well as King Jing, to discuss the cabinet's affairs!"

"Obey!" A scholar-like person not far away got up and took the order.

Zhang Wenda got the cabinet's order, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and lead the people. The two groups of people who fought were "reconciled" by themselves, and the next thing was to wait for the board.

The snow is fluttering, and the cold wind is howling.

Zhu Xu's carriage rolled in the snow and finally returned to the city.

Although there was a heater in the carriage, the windows were blown wide open, and the wind was so cold that all the people wrapped their clothes tightly and barely persevered.

The two little girls huddled in the corner, covered with Zhu Xu's cloak, tightly wrapped, only two eyes were exposed, and they were still dozing off in a daze.

"Let everyone persevere a little bit longer. When we go back, we will all go back on vacation and have a good rest." Zhu Xu said to Wang Wensheng who was outside.

"Yes." Wang Wensheng said.

More than 50 guards looked very thin in the snow. They all showed excitement when they heard the words, and looked at the carriage with reverence in their eyes.

"Your Majesty." As soon as he entered the city gate, Wang Wensheng came to the side of the carriage and said, "The Supervisor of Rites has sent someone to wait."

Zhu Xu was startled, and said, "Come on, talk while walking."

"Yes."

The carriage stopped and continued to move forward. An internal eunuch came in tremblingly, half-kneeling and said, "Report to the emperor, the servants were sent by Eunuch Liu. Something happened in Beijing." The playbook was handed over to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu glanced at him curiously, stretched out his hand to take it, opened his eyes, and pinched his chin with one hand, his face moved.

In the memorial, Liu Shimin explained clearly what happened, the movement of the six cabinet ministries, and the situation of the eighth princess in the Palace of Compassion.

"It's a little earlier than I expected..." Zhu Xu said to himself.The conflict between Wei Xuelian and Yuan Renxiao seemed to be caused by the Anti-Corruption Bureau's anti-corruption actions, but in essence, it was the fundamental contradiction between the "mud legs" of the Royal Political Council and the scholar-bureaucrats who were born in the imperial examination.

These literati and bureaucrats have worked hard for more than ten years to be admitted to the imperial court, and those in the Royal Political Council can become officials after staying in the Royal Political Council for a few years. Why!

After entering the city, the wind became quieter. The little girl poked her head out, looked at Zhu Xu with wide eyes and said, "Uncle Emperor, what happened?"

Zhu Xu glanced at her and said with a smile: "It's nothing, some policies are not perfect, I have to think about it again, if you squint for a while, you will soon enter the palace."

"Oh." Seeing that there was no excitement, the little girl retracted her neck in disappointment.

Zhu Xu closed the memorial and thought about it in his heart.

The reforms he has carried out over the years are relatively rough. Even the "New Deal" is a big framework that needs to be gradually refined, filled, and perfected.
