Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 11 Partisanship
The performance of Taichang in the early morning was somewhat inexplicable. He acted as if he was inquiring, made two confessions, and caught Fang Congzhe, the chief minister of the cabinet, and gave him an angry reprimand. After that, there was no more.

He actually left in such a huff!
What does this mean?

In fact, he is trying to make a fool of himself.

He knew that these dignified civil servants were difficult to deal with. If they turned their faces rashly and acted rashly, they might end up like the first emperor Wanli.

The lesson of the first emperor Wanli is right in front of his eyes. He will naturally not be tough with the officials. He just needs to move his lips and set the fire on the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang parties.

In this way, the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang parties have no time to take care of Concubine Zheng and King Fu, and he can take revenge on the mother and son unscrupulously.

Sure enough, he had just returned to the imperial study, and before his butt was hot, the memorial to impeach Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, was presented.

Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou, Gao Panlong and other officials in the Donglin court jointly signed a report, listing Fang Congzhe's ten crimes.

First, he served as Zaifu alone for seven years, nepotism, persecuting the virtuous, and bringing disaster to the country and the people.

Second, he was arrogant and dull, deceiving the emperor, absent-minded when dealing with the late emperor's affairs, and repeatedly made mistakes.

Third, lawlessness, tampering with imperial edicts and imperial decrees without authorization.

Fourth, when dealing with the court attack case, he worked in collusion with the harem to protect the traitor.

Fifth, conniving his son to commit murder is beyond the law.

Sixth, he urged Yang Gao to conquer Liaodong, so that the elite frontier army was wiped out.

Seventh, lost the city and land, lost power and humiliated the country, so that Jiannu invaded and occupied the land of Liaodong.

Eighth, accepting bribes and conniving Li Xuan's servants to insult the Virgin, causing the Virgin to die of hatred.

Ninth, conniving the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang parties to collect exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so that the people are destitute.

Tenth, unite Zheng Guifei and Xi Li in an attempt to murder the emperor and usurp the throne.

This guy, damn it!

Taichang originally wanted the Donglin Party and the Qichuzhe Party to bite the dog and reap the benefits of the fisherman. He never thought that Fang Congzhe looked like a sage on the surface, but he was so lawless behind the scenes!
This time the Donglin Party must not be talking nonsense, because he knows most of the ten crimes.

Fang Congzhe, just like this, do you still have the face to stay in court?
He just thought about it for a while, and then said decisively: "Broadcast to Wei Zhongxian."

Soon, Wei Zhongxian came over in a hurry.

This guy is so proud, within a day, he turned over like a salted fish and went straight to the sky.

Now, not only the emperor dotes on him, but even the crown prince and King Xin regard him as the most caring person. He is simply the number one favorite of the Taichang Dynasty!
However, he was not proud of being favored, because at this moment he did not have the right to rule, he had to coax the emperor.

After the emperor and his subjects saluted, he pretended to be respectful and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, is there anything I can do for you?"

Taichang wanted to hand over the memorial directly to this guy, but this guy can't read!
In desperation, he could only read the memorial patiently, and then handed the memorial to Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian took the memorial and said doubtfully, "Your Majesty, what do you mean..."

As he spoke, he made his signature move again, slamming down everything with his right hand.

Kill kill kill, you know how to kill!

Taichang couldn't help rolling his eyes and said: "Some people can't kill randomly, you can't end if you kill them, you know? Just show Fang Congzhe this memorial, he knows how to do it."

At this moment, Fang Congzhe can't be killed casually, because the governors of all places are basically members of the Qi, Chu and Zhejiang parties. For example, Xiong Tingbi is a big boss of the Chu party. Killing people indiscriminately, driving people into a hurry, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

These guys can even do things like poisoning and murder. They probably can do things like "the Qing emperor's side" and "military remonstrance".

Therefore, this kind of thing can't be hardened, we can only use civil servants to deal with civil servants, I hope Fang Congzhe can understand, if this guy doesn't understand, then Donglin can only add fire.

His strategy is to use Donglin to clean up the Qi Chuzhe Party, and then use Wei Zhongxian to clean up the Donglin Party. After these people are almost done fighting, they will kill the "heinous" Wei Zhongxian in one fell swoop, so that he can easily control the power of the court.

In short, there is no need to rush this matter, the most urgent thing is to get some money first.

At this moment, the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang parties have been bitten by Dong Lin, and it should be time to take care of King Fu, and it is time to do it.

After Wei Zhongxian took the memorial and left, he ordered someone to recruit Luo Yangxing to the imperial study.

He has already prepared the imperial decree to clean up King Fu. According to the law, even if the prince is rebellious, he can’t be killed directly. He can only arrest him and take him to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum. Therefore, his imperial edict only ordered Jin Yiwei to escort the King Fu’s family. Fengyang is just a guard.

Of course, his main goal is not the Fu Wang family, but the wealth of the Fu Wang Mansion, which cannot be written in the imperial decree.

Luo Yangxing didn't know what the emperor asked him to do. After he respectfully performed the courtesies of a monarch and minister, the emperor actually said to him directly: "Do you know how to copy a house?"

Uh, how do you say this?

Do you need any skills to copy the house?

He subconsciously nodded and said, "This humble minister will."

It seems that this kid is not very good at it.

Hearing this, Taichang couldn't help hesitating.

The question is, if you don't send Luo Yangxing, who should you send? Neither Luo Sigong nor Wei Zhongxian can leave.

After thinking for a while, he still picked up the imperial decree and stuffed it in Luo Yangxing's hands, and said cautiously: "Remember, even if you dig three feet into the ground, you must copy all the gold and silver treasures in Prince Fu's mansion back to me."

what?
Copy the home of King Fu!
Luo Yangxing couldn't help being stunned when he heard the words, King Fu is the emperor's younger brother!
This kid still needs to be trained well.

Seeing this, Taichang could only encourage him: "Don't worry, King Fu has been reduced to common people by me, you can just send someone to take Fu Wang's family to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum. Your main task this time is to search the house."

Well, I'm afraid of being demoted to common people!

Luo Yangxing gritted his teeth and nodded, "I understand."

After finishing speaking, he rushed back to Beizhen Fusi with the imperial decree, ordered hundreds of Tiqi, and rode straight to Luoyang.

Luoyang is more than 1000 miles away from the capital, and it will take at least half a month to come and go, and then we can only wait.

Of course, Taichang did not wait. Although he does not need to directly participate in the party struggle between the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang parties and Donglin, he still has to pull it off. Otherwise, with Donglin's current strength, it may not be so easy to win the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang parties. easy.

Fortunately, Fang Congzhe was not ignorant.

After reading the memorial, he understood that the emperor was determined to help Donglin deal with them. If he didn't know how to dismiss him from office, he would probably lose his life.

Donglin and the gang of lunatics, once they bite on it, they won't be able to get rid of it.

There is no way, in order to save his life, he can only offer his resignation.

Taichang didn't want to keep him either, so he even nominated Ye Xianggao, the boss of Donglin, to take over as the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Immediately afterwards, the Donglin Party launched a new round of impeachment against Li Yu, the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Zhou Jiamo, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

There was nothing wrong with the two of them, but it is inevitable for officials these days to be sophisticated. The Donglin Party insists on nitpicking, but they can still pick out a few. In the end, he was pushed down, and Gao Panlong and Zhao Nanxing from Donglin were replaced.

At this point, the party struggle has come to an end, and the Donglin Party can easily clean up the Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang parties in the DPRK as long as the Jingcha plan fails, because as long as the Jingcha plan fails, they must pack up and leave.

This is the most commonly used method of party struggle. Whether it is the Qi Chuzhe Party or the Donglin Party, they usually control the cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Officials first, and then use the Beijing Police to eliminate dissidents.

Because the cabinet and the Ministry of Officials can decide the appointment and dismissal of ordinary officials, ministers above the fifth rank cannot escape the grand plan of the Jingcha, and the Jingcha and the plan are jointly presided over by the Cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Officials.

Therefore, as long as the cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Officials are in control, dissidents can be eliminated and cronies can be promoted, and even fault-finding and impeachment can be saved.

As long as Taichang helps here, it is basically the same. Donglin is also a veteran of party struggle, and this trick is still very slippery.
