Chapter 425 Aftermath ([-])

Hearing Sun Dan's reminder, the emperor suddenly calmed down.Besides Jing, he was also cold to the bone.

Only then did he realize that in the eyes of the ministers, although he was an emperor, he was just a child.The Ming Dynasty has always been the rule of the world by the scholar-officials and the emperor.It is even more difficult for the emperor to have a high degree of centralization.

Perhaps, in the minds of the ministers, the best emperor should not need to do anything, but just sit in this Fengtian Hall to receive the worship of all officials every day.

There are six ministries for specific government affairs, and the cabinet reads the ministers' memorials and gives opinions on how to deal with them, while the supervisor of rituals only needs to make "approval" or "reconsideration" instructions on them.

Perhaps, they just need an idol who is high above and can be worshipped.

So, what is the difference between me and a clay sculpture and wood sculpture now?

At this time, Jiajing suddenly understood Emperor Wuzong, perhaps because his cousin didn't want to do this kind of non-human fireworks display, so he did absurd things, and that's why he brazenly opposed the world.At this time, Jiajing suddenly admired the Emperor Zhengde who had a very bad reputation.

Who said I can't do what I want?
At least Emperor Wuzong dared to speak and act?
But what about me?
"Take a step back and naturally wide?"

Sun Dan is right, I have to back down now!

Yang Tinghe's move is really ruthless!Now, the entire court is his people.If the six ministries and the cabinet collectively resign, the entire government will immediately be paralyzed.At that time, where will I find so many people to serve as cabinet ministers, as ministers, chiefs, and officials of the six departments.

This is still the beginning. After the six ministries and the cabinet resigned, what about the Inspectorate? They are more terrifying and radical than Yang Tinghe and the six ministries. Will they follow suit?

Yes, they must do it?

The entire court, collectively.The six ministries of government affairs were once paralyzed.Wouldn't it be a big joke in the world, wouldn't I be drowned by the saliva of the people in the world?
After a thousand years, I will not be able to get away with the infamy of a faint king!

It is natural to take a step back, and I must back down.

But am I willing?
Jiajing felt anxious, and remembered that he had been forced to be like this by the ministers now, his eyes were slightly red, and his hoarse voice was choked up: "I understand what you mean, but I can't help my grief. There is no way to express your intentions. You can accept my order to express your sincerity, be careful not to refuse again, and do it obediently."

Mao Cheng was willing to give up, and still shouted in a resounding voice: "It is absolutely impossible!"

Yang Tinghe sighed: "Think twice, Your Majesty."

Jiajing raised his hand feebly: "Get up, all you gentlemen, I promise you."

The emperor finally compromised.

In fact, from the very beginning, he was doomed to such a failure.

Yang Tinghe and the officials of the six ministries have experienced ups and downs in their careers for decades, and they have never seen what kind of ups and downs. Could it be that they are still afraid of the young emperor Jiajing?

Moreover, in their view, the emperor does not stand on the side of reason.The direction of righteousness is naturally that although there are tens of thousands of people, I will go!The direction of reason is naturally to die without regret.

The emperor surrendered, but the ministers refused to give up.

Now, too, has come a time of political reckoning.

The object of liquidation is naturally Huang Jin.

Because Huang Jin was the emperor's confidant and had a special status, he didn't make any big mistakes, so naturally he didn't want to touch him.But it was necessary to clip his wings.

Some time ago, Yang Tinghe ordered people to seal up the Four Seas Casino and cut off Huang Jin's source of income, and now it's time to cut off his arm.

Neither Zhang Cong nor Huo Tao can escape.

Standing up, Yang Tinghe said calmly, "I report to Your Majesty, I have the report."

"Aiqing, please tell me, but if you have the book, I will agree to everything." Jiajing stumbled and sat down, and said weakly.He was disheartened, and he just wanted to leave here earlier, and he didn't want to entangle with the ministers any longer.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty, please read this book as it involves personnel changes in the court." Yang Tinghe took out another memorial from his sleeve and was about to hand it over.

Jiajing shook his head: "My heart is a little messed up, and I can't read it. Let the first assistant dictate, and I'm listening!"

"Okay, then the old minister will say it." Although Yang Tinghe won an unprecedented victory, his face was still as calm as stagnant water: "That's it, Zhang Cong and Huo Tao are no longer suitable for their positions, and they should Mobilize and use it to the best of your abilities.”

Huang Jin's complexion changed drastically, and he finally couldn't help shouting: "Shoufu, these two people have done nothing serious, why should they be punished?"

Yang Tinghe showed a generous smile on his face: "Eunuch Huang misunderstood, I didn't say to punish them. In fact, Zhang Cong and Huo Tao are rare talents, and they should have been employed long ago. Now, because of the great etiquette, the two People and colleagues are very unhappy because of their political opinions. As a result, they can’t work in the original yamen, so it’s better to help them move.”

Huang Jin: "Move what, how?" His tone became severe.

Yang Tinghe didn't take it seriously, and said lightly: "Zhang Cong has outstanding talent and careful thinking. He is overqualified for doing things in the official department. In my opinion, this person is a talented criminal. Why don't you send him to Nanjing to be the head of the criminal department? Clean it up. There are accumulated cases in the five southern provinces; as for Huo Tao, he was originally a Jinshi. He has served as the head of the Ministry of War for many years. .”

After finishing speaking, he saluted the emperor: "I have finished my words, please Your Majesty make a decision."

Only then did Huang Jin realize that Yang Tinghe's move was to exile Huo Tao and Zhang Cong in disguise.Not to mention the bitterly cold place in Yan'an, even if the head of the Nanjing Ministry of Criminal Affairs is an official for the elderly, he has no authority.Lao Yang's actions can be summed up in one sentence: You two can go as far as you want, so don't make troubles in the capital.

These two people are the most reliable figures in Huang Jin's entrainment, how could they be willing to be discarded in vain.Immediately turned his attention to Emperor Jiajing for help: "Your Majesty, these two are talents who have contributed to the imperial court!" He was reminding the emperor.

But the emperor still manages so much there now, he was bullied by the ministers so hard, he just felt so sore all over, he just wanted to get out of here quickly, find a place to cry, or have a good sleep.

The emperor said: "Yes, these two are indeed talents, and they should be employed, so I followed the advice of the chief assistant."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Yang Tinghe with pleading eyes: "Yuanfu, how will the titles of my father and mother be determined in the end?"

Mao Cheng interrupted suddenly: "Your Majesty is wrong. Your father is Emperor Xiaozong, not King Xingxian. As for the honorary title of King Xingxian, it will be determined by Emperor Xingxian, and the queen mother of King Xing will be honored as King Xing and Queen Mother."

The emperor nodded: "That's it, everyone leave."
