Chapter 72 Humans and ghosts are all showing off, only Dongchang is being beaten

In fact, Wanli regretted it before going far.

The small Luo umbrella could not cover the venomous sun while moving. The hot weather consumed his little physical strength. His back had been soaked in sweat, and his legs were soaked in a scorching pain.

In front of everyone, the emperor was dry and unable to drink water, and he could not have any misconduct. He could only grit his teeth and persevere.

There is no way, who made him feel hot and refused to sit in a sedan chair? Now, the path he chose is so tired that he has to continue even if he becomes tired.

As a result, he walked for an hour after ten miles. Later, he lost consciousness on his legs and completely crashed his head. He walked back to the Ming Gate based on his instinct.

Before the officials could say goodbye, he went straight into the Daming Gate and plunged into the imperial chariot waiting in the city gate. He gasped heavily and couldn't even move his fingers. There was only one thought left in his mind if he left the palace again, I would be a stick...

However, the emperor's efforts were not in vain, at least they allowed his subjects to see that their Majesty was not as legendary, but a dead house who was indifferent to the lives and death of the people.

Especially when the emperor returned, he was so tired that he still had to walk, which made the world deeply moved. The people in the troubled people silently reduced their complaints. However, the ministers seemed to have been covered with chicken blood. The court finally began to resume operations, and the decrees were issued one after another to guide the drought resistance work in North China.

Twenty days later, clouds filled the sky of North China, and a heavy rain fell from the sky, falling for two days and two nights. The Yongding River, Chaobai River, and moat finally rush again, and the dry fields were finally nourished...

In fact, it had been almost a month since the prayer of the Temple of Heaven, but no one dared to say that this was not the result of the emperor touching God. Wanli himself took the initiative and thanked God happily for his grace. Of course, this time he did not go to the Temple of Heaven again, but asked the Duke of Ding to pay sacrifices on his behalf.

The bubbles on His Majesty's foot when he was hiking last time have not disappeared yet... Yes, after returning to the palace that time, Wanli continued to have a patient with a legitimate name.

But this is the case in the Ming Dynasty. As long as the emperor does not make trouble and let the civil servants take care of themselves, the state machinery will run smoothly.

Moreover, the chief minister of the cabinet, Zhao Shouzheng, forgave the censors who impeached him with a generous mind, and protected them from being retaliated by angry ministers. In this way, censors were so grateful that they would never sing against Yuan Fu again.

All officials also settled in their own positions, and all the delayed government affairs were gradually restored, and the government was rarely harmonious.

But the little pawns in Nanyang said, no! How can the emperor stop when he says it? Then wouldn’t Zhao be embarrassed?

The little master said again, censors should not be idle all the time, otherwise how can I write a summary at the end of the year?

Therefore, Jiang Dongzhi, a Huizhou censor who had participated in the demotion of Zhang, intentionally or unintentionally revealed that the eunuch of Dongchang, Zhang Jing, was the general backer of Zhang. He also instructed Dongchang to search for evidence of Zhang's crimes, and even fabricated evidence. He also urged Li Zhi and others to overthrow Zhang...

Now the censors have found their target! Okay, no wonder Li Zhi, Yang Keli's censors with thick eyebrows and big eyes will bite people as if they are crazy, and even Shoufu Zhang, who everyone loves, will not let go. It turns out that they are all dead eunuchs making trouble!

They pointed their finger at the eunuch of the East Factory, Zhang Jing, and attacked him in groups.

Zhang Jing was indeed the initiator of the liquidation of Feng Bao and Zhang Juzheng, but who didn’t know that he was just the emperor’s dog?

In fact, the fundamental reason why he incurs so many attacks is the natural conflict of interests between civil officials and factory guards.

The existence of factory guards has caused great insecurity to the civil servant group. No matter when, if the civil servant group wants to live a stable life, it must suppress the spy's arrogance.

In the past few decades, the civil servant group took censors as the pioneer and cabinet as the backstage, and maintained a relative advantage over the factory guards. Even when Feng Bao was in power, due to Zhang Juzheng's restraint, the factory guards and the civil servant group had always maintained a state of keeping the well water from overflowing rivers.

But after Zhang Jing was admiring the East Factory, this ambitious father-in-law was not satisfied with the fact that the East Factory was so arrogant that he could only extort money and spend a lot of money. He began to actively target the civil servants. It was obvious that he wanted to make the East Factory bigger and stronger and create more glory!

How can the civil service group, which has been fighting with factory guards for almost two hundred years, sit back and watch the revival of the East Factory? It must kill its hopes again in the bud!

Moreover, how unclean the person who started the East Factory was under his butt? It was like he had never wiped his butt after being born. In the past, everyone was in harmony, and the censors turned a blind eye and could pretend that they hadn't seen it.

But since the Dongchang crossed the line first, I feel embarrassed! The censors impeached one by one, and did not mention the previous section of the fall of Zhang. They only saw that the Dongchang murders the people and fish gentry cases were exposed one by one.

Emperor Wanli had just been quiet for only two days, and he was really not in the mood to make trouble. However, Zhang Jing was the one used by the emperor to replace Feng Bao, so he was impeached by the censor, and the emperor couldn't stand it.

Zhang Hong, Zhang Cheng and others were also crying and pleading for Zhang Jing, saying that Xiao Jingzi was an impatient person, but he was loyal and honest, and was actually accused of all the officials. Wanli did not want to be led by anyone, so he did not issue an order to remove Zhang Jing from his post.

However, it aroused the dissatisfaction of the censor Ma Xiangqian. The emperor hoped that Wanli would make a decision early to avoid another Liu Jin or Feng Bao.

Once his position was different, Wanli finally felt the pressure of the censors. In order to avoid them being too much, he ordered Ma Xiangqian to be arrested in the imperial prison for interrogation.

Now the civil servant group could not sit still. The chief minister Zhao Shouzheng went to the post to rescue him and asked the emperor to hand over the ministers to the court for interrogation, and did not easily use the factory guards.

Good guy, it's only been a long time since then, and all the positions have been turned.

Wanli angrily told his chief minister that I had just told the truth that in the future, the censors should take into account the overall situation of the country and not destroy the public privately. Those who commit crimes will be punished! They will rush up unconventionally! Isn’t this to take my words as a warning?

Zhao Shouzheng knew that it was probably Zhao Hao who was making trouble behind the scenes. How could he tolerate the emperor bullying his father? It was just like nothing happened? Wanli had to taste the taste of being attacked by censors.

But Wanli didn't know, so he ignored the Prime Minister's request.

Seeing that the rescue of the first assistant was ineffective, Li Yi, the newly appointed official department, wrote a memorial to the clerk, pointed out that the eunuch of the East Factory, Zhang Jing, relied on his favor, bullied the heaven and destroyed the law, and was bold and arrogant. He had never been there! Zhang Jing's evil was a hundred times that Feng Bao and ten thousand times that Song Kun had promoted him to be punished for his crimes, and eating his flesh was not enough to revive his grievances. Therefore, the proverb of the capital was: "I would rather meet a tiger and a wolf than Zhang Jing"!

This is really a show of people and ghosts, only the factory is getting beaten up...
