Chapter 3 Impeachment
"Your Majesty, it's time for morning court"

At Wang An's reminder, Zhu Youxiao looked at himself in the bronze mirror, straightened his clothes again, left the palace and sat on the steps.

The early dynasty system has always existed, but Emperor Wanli has been like a scumbag for more than 20 years. He does not give up, refuse, and is irresponsible for things in the court. It is difficult for the ministers to meet with him, and the early dynasty has not been held for a long time.

This system has been abandoned. Now Zhu Youxiao proposes to resume the early dynasty, which is also a sign of diligence.

In the early dynasties, the emperor's seat was located in the middle of the corridor of Fengtian Hall, which was called the Golden Terrace.

As soon as Zhu Youxiao arrived at Fengtian Hall, he began to play music. The powerful guards in Jinyi held five umbrella covers and four fans, climbed up the Danqi from the east and west sides, stood on the left and right behind the throne, and followed Zhu Youxiao to sit on the golden platform of the imperial gate.

The two rows of tall Han generals at the bottom began to blow their whips, and the officials of Honglu Temple who had been prepared began to sing "Enter the class" and called on the ministers to divide into two classes, civil and military, to enter the royal road and enter the court. The civil servants "went north to west" and the military attachés "Go north to east" and perform the ritual of bowing and kowtowing three times.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Everyone loves to be flat."

Although Zhu Youxiao had already experienced this ritual as early as the enthronement ceremony.But now it seems that in addition to being slightly nervous, it is more of a sense of satisfaction with power and status. Just as Liu Bang said, "I know today that I am the emperor!" The same is true for him.

After the worship, the ceremony begins.

I saw an official with a thin face, about forty years old, "cough", walked to the emperor, knelt down and said

"The Minister of Engineering and Science has a brief summary of the matter in the matter: Hui Shiyang:

Fang Congzhe, the first minister and assistant to the cabinet, was the prime minister for seven years. He guarded the country from talents and protected traitors, causing harm to the country and the people. He first accepted the imperial concubine Zheng's decree to be granted the title of empress, then he flattered Li Xuanshi, and recommended Li Kezhuo to the late emperor, which led to the great success of the late emperor. The crime can be punished, so please ask the Holy Judgment. "

Zhu Youxiao looked at him and searched for the name Hui Shiyang in his mind. He seemed to have heard of it in his previous life, and he seemed to be one of the five tiger generals of Donglin.What he said clearly was that Fang Congzhe was related to the "Red Pill Case", one of the three major cases in the late Ming Dynasty.Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao probably understood Hui Shiyang's intention.

This happened on the first day of the dynasty, which shows that the situation in this dynasty is treacherous.

During the Wanli period, the Donglin Party continued to grow, criticizing current affairs among the people and striving for reform.Therefore, he was deeply dissatisfied by the Qi, Chu and Zhe party members in the court.Fang Congzhe belonged to the Zhejiang Party, and when he served as chief assistant, he also excluded the Donglin Party.

However, since Guangzong Zhu Changluo succeeded to the throne, he has promoted many Donglin Party officials, which has greatly enhanced the reputation of the Donglin Party. This time he ascended the throne, the Donglin Party also contributed more, and they just took this opportunity to take advantage of the victory to punish the evil and hoe the traitors. .

At this time, Fang Congzhe seemed to have expected such an incident, and also said:

"Your Majesty, I am guilty. I blindly recommended people, which led to the disaster of Li Kezhuo's 'Red Pill'. Please forgive me."

As a political expert of later generations, he had long heard about the fierce party struggle in the late Ming Dynasty, but he would never accept it just because of impeachment.Not to mention going to court early on my first day.

"In the past seven years, the first assistant has maintained the relationship between the court and the outside, and has made many achievements. The late emperor also praised it. Why is it that his crimes are punishable now? I am the first to ascend the throne. I still need everyone to work together. Don't listen to the wind or rain."

Upon hearing this, Hui Shiyang said eagerly: "Your Majesty, Fang Congzhe certainly has merit, but the death of the late emperor is inseparable from him. It was Fang Congzhe who recommended Li Kezhuo, which led him to offer red pills to the late emperor. How can such a treacherous minister be willing to serve as a minister?" It is an important task for the country, please investigate clearly!"

Zhu Youxiao also knew about this and said helplessly: "I know about this, but no matter what the details are, I can't just believe it. I will make plans after I understand it clearly. That's it, let's leave. "Hui Shiyang had no choice but to comply with the order, and the matter came to an end for the time being.

But Zhu Youxiao knew that this was just the beginning. In the late Ming Dynasty, the parties fought fiercely and attacked each other.I won't stop until I trip you up.

But the more this happens, the more Zhu Youxiao wants to stop it, but he must not be like his younger brother, who listens to the wind and becomes the rain.

We cannot easily agree to impeachment. Otherwise, if we impeach one and agree to investigate another, then everyone wants to be wise and protect themselves, and who will have the courage to take office.

This matter was just settled.But I didn’t expect that the next thing would be impeachment.

I saw another Yanguan stand up.

"The Minister of Military Affairs asked Gu Cao to impeach Xiong Tingbi, the manager of Liaodong. Since he came out of the border, he has made no achievements. As a result, the Jianlu invaders repeatedly invaded and suffered many losses. Liaoyang was almost isolated. I also ask your Majesty to depose Xiong Tingbi and select capable people. To save the crisis in Liaodong."

Just after he finished speaking, someone else stood up, "Feng Sanyuan, the Supervisor and Censor, seconded the opinion. Xiong Tingbi is a headstrong man who does not reorganize the military in Liaodong or plan deployment. As a result, he sent troops to Jianzhou last month and returned with a large plunder. Please ask your Majesty to depose him." people."

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but was speechless. This was arranged, and it caused trouble for me on the first day.Fortunately, he came from later generations, otherwise he would have believed it.

Xiong Tingbi was attacked obviously not because he did not do well, but because he was not of the same faction as the Donglin Party. Xiong Tingbi had served as a spokesman before and specifically opposed the Donglin Party. Now that the Donglin Party is in power, it will be rainy if it hears the wind. To suppress and retaliate.

"I have heard about Xiong Tingbi in the late emperor's residence for a long time. I heard that this man was brave and well-versed in military affairs. In the previous battle of Sarhu, the Liao division was destroyed.

Commander Xiong Tingbi started with thousands of soldiers. He staggered out of the gate to reorganize the military and appease the local area. None of them needed time. Now if there is a hasty replacement, the successor will also need time to get familiar with it. If the Jiannu suddenly invades, how can we resist it? "

"Your Majesty, please be careful. As the saying goes, one commander is incompetent and the three armies are exhausted. Xiong Tingbi has been in office for one year and still has no achievements, which has led to the invasion of slaves. As long as a good minister is chosen to succeed him, Xiong Tingbi's shortcomings will be eliminated."

Yes, you chose.In the end, you chose Yuan Yingtai. This man has good character, but he doesn't know how to fight. In the end, Liaoyang was lost.Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but complain.

"Liaodong is the backbone of the capital. Since the establishment of the slaves, the emperor has invaded the borders many times. The imperial court has spent a lot of money to resist the establishment of slaves, so this matter must be cautious. As the saying goes, listening to both sides will lead to enlightenment, and listening to one side will lead to darkness. Did Xiong Tingbi make any mistakes in running the army in Liaodong? I think we can send someone to check it out and make a decision."

"Your Majesty Shengming."

Since His Majesty has said so, the ministers have nothing to say and can only agree.

After these two major events were completed, there were still some trivial matters such as officials leaving the capital to award hundreds of officials, and Zhu Youxiao did not need to say much.

After a long time, Zhu Youxiao looked at the time and it was almost time. After all, it was the first day of the morning, so it was not appropriate to deal with too many government affairs in the morning.So Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wang An, the eunuch next to him, and Wang An immediately shouted "Retreat from the court."

Afterwards, the officials of Honglu Temple finished their "singing" and sounded their whips. When Zhu You, the school sage, retreated, all the officials also retreated and went back to the Yamen.
