Chapter 548 Imperial Power and Ministerial Power! What Crime Did the King of Han Commit?
Latest website:
All the officials gathered together, and Fu Que cried bitterly!
After hearing the news, even Emperor Yongle was a little panicked now.
It is not that this kind of thing has never happened before, and it can be roughly divided into two categories.
The first is a major event in the court, a certain procedural ceremony with a ceremonial color, such as the "Fu Que" of hundreds of officials to implore the crown prince to succeed the emperor.
The other type is when there is a serious conflict between the political opinions of the monarch and his ministers but has not yet been resolved, and the ministers openly oppose the monarch's will.
For example, at the end of the former Song Dynasty, when the Jin soldiers went south to encircle the Song Dynasty, the Grand Prime Minister Li Bangyan advocated ceding territory and seeking peace. Officials and scholars in Beijing, led by Chen Dong, a student of Etai, and tens of thousands of people "Fu Que" petitioned to kill Li Bangyan and reused the war officials. Li Gang.
The final result was that Emperor Qinzong of the former Song Dynasty had to appoint Li Gang as the defense envoy of the capital under pressure from his ministers, and Li Bangyan was also demoted.
There is no doubt that in this confrontation between monarchy and ministerial power, Song Qinzong chose to compromise!
But that was after all, in the former Song Dynasty, when the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats ruled the world together!
Song Qinzong did not have the confidence to compete with his ministers, so he chose to compromise!
However, it is the Ming Dynasty now, and he, Zhu Di, is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty!
Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been a case of hundreds of officials being imprisoned!
Because of this, when Zhu Di heard the news, his face instantly became livid!
Li Shimian, Mao Hongying and other officials, what kind of behavior is this?
Disobey the emperor's order? !
Forcing the convict to go to the palace? !
There was no such thing as "the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrats co-ruling the world" in the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Di was so angry that he was shaking all over and forced himself to calm down.
Little Sniffle knelt on the ground, his face full of fear.
He didn't know how long it took before he heard the emperor's voice.
"What do they want?"
"I beg the emperor to withdraw his order and summon the King of Han back to the capital for trial!"
"Hey!" Zhu Di sneered when he heard this, "They are really a bunch of damn fools!"
"I, Emperor Yongle, have ever taken back what I have said?"
"Take back your life? Do they still see me as their father?"
With a loud bang, Emperor Yongle kicked the brocade stool away.
"Go! Put them all in jail!"
"I would like to see how many heads they have to chop off!"
Hearing this, Little Sniffle's scalp was numb with shock, and he didn't dare to respond at all.
There are nearly a hundred officials. If they are all thrown into the sky prison, there will be big chaos in the court!
"Your Majesty... This... Your Majesty, please think twice!"
Little Sniffle sighed, lowering his head and not daring to accept the order.
At this moment, a eunuch hurried in.
"Your Majesty, Jin Shangshu, Jian Shangshu, Yang Xueshi and other adults would like to see you!"
"Oh, they're all here!" Zhu Di chuckled, "Let them in!"
After a while, Jin Zhongjianyi and other Jiuqing giants filed in and saw the livid Emperor Yongle.
Such a big thing happened, it was difficult for them not to know about it.
Compared with young people like Li Shimian and Mao Hongying, Jin Zhongjianyi and others see deeper and farther!
Since the recovery of Lingbei, the Ming Dynasty no longer had the trouble of northern captives, and the emperor's energy and focus have been transferred to the country.
The officials present were well aware of the issue of taxation and food in Jiangnan. Although it was far from being as exaggerated as Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han Dynasty, said, it was indeed time to resolve it, and chaos had already arisen!
Zhou Chen's trip took place at this sensitive time.
A group of giants originally thought that even if Zhou Chen's trip could not solve the hidden tax problems in Jiangnan, it could still deter the restless Jiangnan gentry.
But who would have thought that those damn Jiangnan gentry would dare to frame Zhou Chen and openly challenge the court!
Can't you just pay some money and food honestly and fool the court?
Well now, the king of Han went to the south of the Yangtze River in anger and killed heads and blood like rivers!
Moreover, the Prince of Han also resorted to ruthless tactics to draw out salary from under the cauldron, and implemented a whipping method that completely cut off all the officials' financial resources!
His Majesty the Emperor was also furious. He directly wanted to murder the gentry of the world. He supported Prince Han without any hesitation and would investigate anyone who impeached Prince Han!
The whole world is in turmoil because of the stupid behavior of the Jiangnan gentry!
The Jiangnan gentry are stupid, and the stupid young men like Li Shimian and Mao Hongying are even stupider!
At this juncture, they even gathered in Fuchou in private to cry bitterly!
What kind of behavior did this fall into the eyes of the emperor?
You are trying to force me into the palace!
And who are you persecuting?
The great emperor!
The Lord of Ninety-Five!
His Royal Highness, King Yan, is on the battlefield!
The decisive and decisive iron-blooded king!
Because of this, after a group of giants learned the news, they immediately put down all their work and rushed over without worrying about their fate.
They were really scared, and the emperor was so angry that he chopped all these idiots into pieces!
"Your Majesty, calm down!" Jian Yi spoke first, "Li Shimian and others are dedicated to serving the country. They may have acted inappropriately, but their intentions are still good..."
"Are they dedicated to the country?" Zhu Di smiled, "Jian Yi, how dare you say such a thing? Are they dedicated to the country, or are they serving their own selfish interests? Do you think I don't know?"
"It's just because the King of Han implemented a whipping method that cut off their wealth. There will no longer be any filial piety money to get, so these bastards can't sit still and jump out one by one to force the palace. I'm telling you Not bad right?"
Hearing His Majesty the Emperor's cold words, all the giants were shocked!
The emperor is not just furious, he is completely murderous!
Seeing this situation, Jin Zhong had no choice but to speak and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, think twice!"
"The officials kneeling outside Wenhua Gate today may indeed be the corrupt officials mentioned by His Majesty, who gathered to impeach the Han prince for their own selfish purposes, but I believe that there are more among them, such as Li Shimian and Mao Hong. Ying wait, UUkanshuwww.uukanshu.net should be loyal to the public and support the country, without any selfish desires!"
"What His Highness the King of Han did in the south of the Yangtze River has indeed aroused public indignation in the world, especially the scholarly literary circles. They have criticized the King of Han verbally and written with deep hatred. However, we have to admit that this move of the King of Han is indeed inappropriate!"
"It is a first crime to deploy troops without permission, a second crime to commit indiscriminate killing, and a third crime to disregard the law!"
"No matter which one, it is reasonable for the courtiers to impeach the King of Han!"
Jin Zhong has always been mature and prudent, and this time he did not take any side, but discussed the matter as it happened.
Because of this, Zhu Di's expression softened a lot after hearing what he said.
After all, everyone is telling the truth. If you, the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, had done nothing wrong, would those courtiers dare to be so arrogant and directly block the door and cry?
Zhu Di felt terrible when he thought of this.
The second child, this rebellious kid, is indeed very capable, but he is just too bastard and always gets himself into a lot of trouble!
Zhu Di sighed and suddenly changed the subject.
"The King of Han indeed went to Jiangnan on my order, and he held the gold medal given by me, as if I were here in person!"
"So there is no such thing as 'privately deploying troops'. As for the 'indiscriminate killing' and 'disregarding the law', they are just details."
"Let me ask you one question: Why did the King of Han bloodbath Jiangnan?"
As soon as these words came out, all the big guys looked at each other and fell silent.
Why did the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu do such a shocking thing?
He is for the people!
Kill the gentry, beat down the local tyrants, divide the fields, implement the whip law, equalize the corvee taxes...
Every one of them is a benevolent policy that truly benefits the people!
However, this is a benevolent government directed at the people, and it is also a bad government directed at the officials!
"What is the crime of the King of Han?"
