Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 59

The next day, the morning reopened.

This is only the second morning court in the nearly 200 years that Nanjing has been with the capital, but only about [-]% of the officials in Jinling City are left, and the rest are still waiting for the emperor to pronounce the sentence.

When it comes to sentencing, it will be sentenced immediately.

Taichang glanced around majesticly, and then said coldly: "Everyone should know that those who are not here have committed crimes. Although I said that I will plead guilty voluntarily and be punished lightly, I didn't say that pleading guilty voluntarily is fine." I’m here to talk about the results of the punishment, so that everyone can be alerted. Anyone who admits to corruption will return all the stolen money, and he will be given a lighter punishment. All the stolen money will go to jail to make up for the crime. All other crimes will be dismissed according to the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", and they will be dismissed from office and dismissed for investigation.

As soon as he said this, everyone's faces were full of sighs.

Alas, ten years of hard work, hard work, running back and forth, county examinations, government examinations, township examinations, public examinations, palace examinations, I don’t know how many difficulties I have overcome, and finally set foot on the official career. In the end, all efforts were wasted, and the fame was gone. , I can't be an official, my life is over like this!
Of course, this is just an appetizer.

Taichang looked at the expressions of the crowd, and said loudly: "So many officials have been dismissed, and so many government offices are still in operation. Naturally, these positions cannot be vacant. Therefore, I decided to hold a court meeting this morning, regardless of rank. Make an exception to participate in this court meeting."

Ah!
Court discussion is a good thing, after all, everyone wants to become a court official of the third rank or above.

Question, how do you notify everyone in advance of such an important matter?

Wouldn't it be nice not to carry out a surprise attack like this!

How many positions above the third rank and above are vacant at this time, if everyone discusses in private, coordinates, and bargains, how can we recommend "suitable candidates"?

All the officials were caught off guard, their faces full of shock.

Hehe, if you want to form cliques in private and fight for power and profit, there is no way!
Immediately afterwards, Taichang said seriously: "Of course, before that, there is one more thing to deal with."

After speaking, he winked directly at Cao Huachun who was at the side.

Cao Huachun immediately took out a reading list and read aloud.

"Baji", "Baji", "Baji"..

He read it like a reminder, he read it one by one.

Of course, these people knew in their hearts why their names appeared on the list. Leaving aside other crimes, they all committed the crime of deceiving the emperor!

After Cao Huachun finished reading, Taichang immediately yelled: "You guys are so brave, ah! How dare you bully the king in front of me, do you really think I'm easy to bully? Come on, drag them all down and cut them down!"

"Wow", more than a dozen Jinyi guards rushed into the train immediately, picked up the collapsed officials and dragged them out.

This action frightened the other officials, and they faintly sensed something, there was something in the emperor's words!

The meaning of the emperor, next, who dares to bully the emperor face to face, then!

Sure enough, Taichang immediately said loudly: "Now, start the court discussion!"

Uh.

Start the court discussion now!
Everyone hasn't made any preparations, how can we discuss it?
The emperor's posture, could it be that there is an article in the court meeting!

All the officials in Jinling City were still in a daze, but Bi Maoliang coughed solemnly, stepped out of the train, lay down on the imperial road and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have recommended Duke Ding Xu Xi to serve as Nanjing's garrison."

Taichang immediately nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes, sure."

At this time, everyone didn't react much. After all, the guards were appointed by the emperor and had nothing to do with them, so no one thought there was anything wrong.

Unexpectedly, Bi Maoliang continued: "Your Majesty, I recommend Bi Zisu, the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to be the censor of the left capital of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Taichang still nodded without hesitation: "Well, sure."

Hey, hey, what are you doing? This is against the rules, right?

At this moment, some people are already getting anxious. The Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who is the second rank, who doesn't want to sit on it.

The emperor and Bi Maoliang are good, here to play the oboe, one was recommended on the spot, and the other was approved immediately!
Tingyi, isn't that the way to discuss, okay?

Everyone was still considering whether to come out to stop them, but Bi Maokang said loudly again: "Your Majesty, I recommend Bi Ziyan, the young minister of the Taipusi, as the Secretary of the Nanjing Household Department."

Taichang still nodded without hesitation and said, "Well, sure."

Hey, why don't you play like this with me? Hubu Shangshu is the biggest position in Nanjing Youshui, so you just settled it "privately"!

At this time, a group of officials had already started to wink at each other, ready to persuade someone to be the leader.

Question, it's not easy to be an early bird. The emperor chopped up a bunch just now. If you dare to be an early bird, can people not punish you?

While they were hesitating, Bi Maoliang said loudly again: "Your Majesty, I recommend Sun Chuanting, a scholar of Zhan Shifu's Zuochunfang University, as Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing."

Naturally, Taichang nodded without hesitation: "Yes, sure."

Why don't you take out a list and read it directly? Is there such a court discussion like yours?
Many people had expressions of indignation on their faces, and they didn't know whether they felt that their positions that should belong to them had been robbed, or they thought it was ridiculous for the emperor to do so.

It's a pity that no one dares to be that early bird at this time.

Bi Maoliang then said loudly: "Your Majesty, I recommend Wang Xiangchun, the left servant of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials, as the Minister of Nanjing's Ministry of Officials."

Taichang still nodded without hesitation: "Yes, sure."

It's too much, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is gone again, are you finished?
At this time, some people's feet moved, but after all, no one dared to take that step.

Bi Maoliang then said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have recommended Shi Wancheng, the prefect of Huizhou, as Minister of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing."

Taichang still nodded without hesitation: "Yes, sure."

Now, finally someone couldn't help it.

Wei Guangwei, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites in Nanjing, suddenly coughed, stepped out of the train, knelt down on the royal road and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this is not in compliance with the rules. The minister of the Ministry of Rites is the candidate for the cabinet ministers, and as a rule, he must be a prime minister who was born in the Imperial Academy. "

Tell me the rules?
You think you must be the minister of the Ministry of Rites, otherwise you are not following the rules, right?

very good!

This Wei Guangwei Taichang still has an impression, because this person is the shameless person in history who shamelessly recognized Wei Zhongxian as his uncle, and thus climbed to the position of cabinet scholar!
Originally, Taichang wanted to keep him to help Wei Zhongxian, but this guy didn't know how to live or die, and ran out to be the first bird, so don't blame me for being rude.

At this time, everyone is looking at the results of this early bird. If there is a fight, there will definitely be a lot of people running out to fight. This is the most common method of civil servants, relying on the number of people to force the palace!

Can I still get used to your problems?
Do you think I am the first emperor?
Taichang pretended to be furious and said: "Rules? Who made the rules, did you make the rules for me? You have turned the world upside down! Someone, drag it down by fifty big boards!"

Ting rod?

If it's just the court stick, it's nothing. Many civil servants are proud of directly admonishing the emperor to bear the court stick.

At this time, many people are already eager to try.

Unexpectedly, Taichang immediately roared again: "Draft the decree, Wei Guangwei will be dismissed from office and removed from office, dismissed and investigated!"

Ah!
Wouldn't it be nice not to bring such a thing?
Wei Guangwei just said a word, and what he said was not wrong. Originally, the Minister of Rites had to be born in the Imperial Academy.

Shi Wancheng has become a magistrate, and he must not be from the Imperial Academy, because the ministers from the Imperial Academy basically work in the capital and will not be sent to other places.

The problem is that the emperor doesn't make sense, so what should I do?

Then don't reason with others!
All the veterans in the officialdom understand that if you reason with unreasonable people, you will be out of your mind. When you meet an emperor who kills people at every turn, how can you reason with them?

All the people who were eager to try took back their slightly stretched feet.

Alas, it's not easy to get a good name, and it's even more difficult to become an official. Dismissed from office, this life will be over, and it will be even more wronged if he is cut off for no reason!
Most of the people who were squeezed out of Jinling were losers, and there were really few who had the courage or the ability to fight. Moreover, those who had the courage and ability were all cited as cronies by the emperor.

Therefore, when Taichang became tough, they softened.

With Bi Maoliang's recommendation and Taichang's nod for a while, the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate's Zuodu Yushi and six ministers were all finalized.

At this time, Taichang finally raised his hand and said: "Okay, let's discuss here first, other positions will be discussed at the court after the chief officials of the yamen take office, and retire from the court!"

Well, what did you discuss, you didn't let us say a word, okay?

The officials had no choice but to lie down and shout in unison: "Send off the emperor."

Hmph, I can't cure you yet?
Taichang gave a cold snort to himself, then looked around majesticly, then got up and walked towards the dragon chariot.

Many people will always gain something after experiencing hardships, and thus grow rapidly. Taichang has really learned a lot after going through this Suzhou crisis.

His most important realization is that in this troubled world, as an emperor, you must kill decisively, otherwise, people will decisively come to kill you!
Accompanying the capital in Nanjing is just the beginning. Sooner or later, the officials in the capital will also understand what is the way of a monarch and ministers!
