Chapter 53 Want to take revenge on the Donglin Party

Fang Congzhe felt fine after listening to Zhu Youxiao's words.

Although he said "the big thing is not good", he was reluctant to let the emperor approve the resignation of these Donglin Party officials.

Although Fang Congzhe is from Zhejiang, he is close to the Qi Party officials and is also the backer of Xiong Tingbi, an official of the Chu Party, in the central government.

Therefore, strictly speaking, Fang Congzhe does not have too serious rural party complex.

This is also the reason why Wanli asked him to replace Ye Xianggao as the chief assistant.

But now there are too many officials from the East and the East officials in the Middle Dynasties, and these East and the East and the East officials often love to unite to deal with the cabinet, which makes him, the chief minister, unable to do anything often.

Therefore, Fang Congzhe really hoped to expel these Donglin officials from the court and replace them with a group of party officials from other townships.

This is the best way to check and balance.

The court policy proposed by the court appears fair.

It will not be biased to the southerners or northerners, or benefit the people but mislead the army, or improve business but ruin farming.

Han Dong was very shocked, as if someone had hit the head hard with wood, and was always confused and horrified.

He really didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor to be so calm and tough.

Not only will everyone be allowed to resign, but all treatment after resignation must be banned, and even the descendants are not allowed to take the scientific examination. What is even more excessive is that they must also investigate the responsibilities before resignation.

This is simply not alive.

Why do officials like to resign and retire and wander in the forest?

Most of them do not really like pastoral life, but really have to work.

But because they still have an official position after resigning, and after returning to their hometown, they became local gentry, and could completely control local government affairs and criminal laws, just like local emperors, which felt more comfortable than being an official in the capital.

But now that the emperor wants to dismiss them from office as commoners, then what kind of official status is there? Even if you meet the seventh-rank magistrate, you have to kneel down!

No one can stand this.

The plan to dominate the countryside and take charge of lawsuits and merge land and become a land emperor will undoubtedly be shattered.

There are also three generations of descendants who are not allowed to take the scientific examination.

The Ming Dynasty has been established for more than two hundred years, and the intra-text of scientific examinations has naturally become very serious.

Especially in the Jiangnan region, let alone the Jinshi exam, it is more difficult to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar every year.

Finally, because I am an official and have connections with the court, it can make it easier for my descendants to conduct scientific research, and make my power in the local area continue to be strong.

But now that the three generations of descendants are not allowed to take scientific examinations, it will undoubtedly prevent their descendants from obtaining a green channel for scientific examinations by themselves, but will also lead to the decline of the family from then on.

Han Yu had to admit that Zhu Youxiao's move was really cruel.

It is hard to say whether those who resign from office dare to go home after knowing this decree.

What’s even more terrifying is that the third one is actually to be held accountable!

Because nowadays, although officials say they are honest, they can ask with their conscience, who has never done a few shameful things?

Even if you haven't done it, your family and slaves have done it with great power.

If you really want to investigate, few people will be able to leave the capital and return home peacefully.

Han Yu couldn't help but secretly glad that he did not resign with the Donglin officials, otherwise he would not have ended up much better than Liu Yiyin.

"This matter is immediately voted, and then the Sili Supervisor will approve the rewards. In addition, all the matters found by these people during their tenure must be published simultaneously by Huangming Pao and posted in the world!"

Zhu Youxiao said afterwards: "I will write a decree to convey to all the civil and military officials in Beijing and the Imperial College, and tell all the civil and military officials in Beijing, as well as the Imperial College, the tribute supervisor, the tribute supervisor, the yin supervisor, the donation supervisor, the scholars who stayed in Shuntian Prefecture and the professors and students of the county governments below. Those who want to serve as officials and the court will all go outside Fengtian Gate to choose!"

Zhu Youxiao said and looked at Fang Congzhe: "My dear is responsible for the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel first. In order to avoid the large number of shortages of officials, there is no need to conduct court discussions. Immediately listen to officials and scholars who volunteer to select officials. In this way, the court cannot blame the random employment of personnel in the future. The same is true for the special investigation team!"

"I will receive the order!"

Fang Congzhe replied.

...

"News are coming from Liuke Galleries, and the will has come down!"

Jie Xuelong, the clerk of the right scholar of the Criminal Department, came to the guild hall where Chen Yuting, Sun Shenxing, Zhou Jiamo and others gathered, and bowed and said.

Chen Yuting smiled proudly, "But we are not allowed to resign and issue an order to keep it?"

Sun Shenxing put down his pen and stood up and said, "I have written the second memorial. After the emperor rejected my first memorial, I will report it again! Until the emperor is willing to give in and release Liu Miaozhou and other scholars!"

Zou Yuanbiao also asked: "Is it possible to revisit the scholars of Liu Miao and Zhou? Or did we only reject our resignation memorial?"

Jie Xuelong said with a serious expression: "No rejection, all approvals!"

"What?!"

Zhou Jiamo, the Minister of Personnel, couldn't help but suddenly stood up and asked in surprise.

"His Majesty really did this?"

Zou Yuanbiao also asked hurriedly.

Jie Xuelong nodded and said, "The order has been issued to summon all the officials and scholars in Beijing, and prepare to directly select officials today! The current votes are being selected and the current votes are planned to be awarded!"

"The emperor is really going to fight me to the end!"

Sun Shenxing said something and asked everyone: "I really want to resign from office?"

Chen Yuting was also shocked: "If you really resign, then I, Donglin, will cut off my power!"

"Immediately stop other colleagues from resigning from office! Jie Shiyi, you are young, please report them as soon as possible and not act recklessly. This matter should be discussed for a long time!"

Sun Shenxing instructed.

Jie Xuelong nodded quickly: "Okay, the officials will go and report it now. However, Your Majesty also issued an order to dismiss those who resigned from office as commoners, and not to return home from the post. The descendants of the three generations are not allowed to take scientific examinations. In addition, a special Beijing inspection team was established to investigate whether there were any losses to the court during their tenure. We must find out the crime. At the same time, the reasons for the crime were all published in the newspapers and let the people of the world know!"

"What!"

Zou Yuanbiao also stood up and looked at Chen Yuting for a moment and said, "What a cruel emperor!"

"What should I do?" Zhou Jiamo couldn't help but say something.

For a moment, all the officials of the Donglin Party who resigned were panicked after learning the news and couldn't sleep or eat.

...

For other civil officials who have not resigned.

They were all so happy after receiving the court's promotion and re-official efforts.

Because under normal circumstances, you usually have to wait at least three years to get promoted.

What a great opportunity now, hundreds of officials have vacancies, many of which are important positions in various yamen.

This is especially true for the scholars.

Especially those old supervisors who had no hope of becoming officials.

Everyone is grateful for the great grace of the emperor.

Therefore, these people were very active when they were asked by the court to enter the palace to run for official positions.

"Officers from Hanlin origin have been listed, so you will give priority to the officials! Come on."

After Zhou Yongchun, the secretary of the Secretariat, read a sentence, Feng Quan and other officials from the Hanlin Academy stood up.

Then, Fang Congzhe personally clicked the list of missing officials to Feng Quan and others, and said, "These are all vacant official positions. Where do you want to take office? Although Your Majesty is grateful to you for your own assessment, you must be cautious, otherwise you will not only mislead the country but also mislead yourself."

Therefore, most Hanlin officials are still very cautious. For the sake of their career, they still choose to fill the positions of the Hanlin Academy, the Zhanshi Mansion, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Personnel, which may enter the cabinet.

But Feng Quan resolutely bowed: "You are the one who reports to Yuanfu, and the officials want to go to the special Beijing inspection team to serve as the censor of the Department!"

Fang Congzhe was quite surprised and asked, "Have you really thought about it? That's an offensive job. Besides, you are only nineteen years old. If you stay in Hanlin, Ministry of Rites, and Ministry of Personnel, you will have great hope of entering the cabinet in the future."

Feng Quan nodded.

The humiliation of the gentlemen in Donglin for him has made him hate him for a long time.

But this time, the officials of Donglin resigned were all officials.

Therefore, now, he naturally doesn't want to miss such a good opportunity to take revenge.

Seeing this, Fang Congzhe had nodded, then got up and entered the hall to report, "Your Majesty, Hanlin Secretariat Feng Quan is a Hanlin scholar and serves as a censor. He should be promoted to the level. I suggest that he make up for the lack of the left assistant censor Gu Dazhang and serve as deputy chief of the special investigation team!"

Not long after, a bronze chime sounded.

In order to be safe and maintain a certain degree of mystery, Zhu Youxiao naturally cannot let people see him easily.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao did not choose to appear, but only expressed his attitude by the number of times the bronze chime sounded.

Once the sound is made, it will be granted.

If it sounds twice, it will not be correct, so I will discuss it again.

But Zhu Youxiao is basically accurate, so there is no need to make things difficult for the people below.

"Abide by the order!"

Fang Congzhe met Zhu Youxiao and came back immediately to draft an order.

Then Liu Ruyu, who worked temporarily with the cabinet, criticized the reward for the imperial edict that Fang Congzhe had drafted and announced the edict on the spot.

Jie Xuelong, who came here, was reluctant to see the result, so he couldn't help but shout: "You can't let Feng Quan join the special Beijing inspection team!"
