Chapter 654: Eight hundred miles urgently

"Your Majesty should accept advice from me. If you do not approve the memorials today, the officials will not be compensated, and the officials will not be appointed. If you abandon them, you will not be able to use them. If you do anything in the cabinet, you will not be helpful. What is the benefit of keeping them?"

In the capital city, the cabinet was in charge of the room, the chief assistant Ye Xianggao took a pen to submit a resignation to the emperor in grief and anger. After Mo Gan, he sighed lightly and put the resignation into the cabinet and handed it to the palace by the people who live in the room.

Due to the lack of rain for several days, the temperature in the middle of the capital was high. Although ice was prepared in the room, the heat was still burning. Ye Xianggao could not sit still and came to the small garden next to the room with his hands behind his back. This small garden was asked by Xia Yan, the chief assistant of the Jiajing period, to be repaired. The place was not big, but it was cool enough. It was the best place for the summer ministers to cool down.

Sitting under the shade of the tree, Ye Xianggao was in a bad mood. Recently, he has often fallen into helplessness and depression. But these are not the reasons why he resigned today, and what made him discouraged and wanted to leave was the resignation of his colleague in the party and Minister of Personnel Sun Piyang.

Ye Xianggao knew that Sun Piyang's resignation was undoubtedly related to the fact that the Beijing Office could not do anything, but this matter was very important. Although his Fuqing Gong was also determined to cleanse the government, the party struggles had become a stubborn disease and could not be completely eradicated by the Beijing Office. Moreover, the palace was determined to balance and kept the seal for many times. The holy intention was so, so how could Donglin do it with a wishful thinking.

Donglingu and the traitor are incompatible, but the struggle must always be done with means. Even though he knows that he can't do it, he will hurt the enemy by one thousand and hurt himself by eight hundred. How can he succeed?

Ye Xianggao both made it clear to them about Zhao Nanxing and Zou Yuanbiao’s second masters. The second master also knew the difficulties and no longer commanded them randomly, which made Ye Xianggao very rare to be purified.

Mr. Sun is over 80 years old, so he should be very old. Although Ye Xianggao regrets that Sun Piyang resigns, he actually wants Mr. Sun to return home to avoid being exhausted and dying of death in office. More importantly, Mr. Sun Piyang is a "hard-line" in the party's Beijing inspection. If he goes, the situation will be completely calm and will help the stability of the government.

Ye Xianggao Zong is a member of the Donglin Party, but as the chief minister of the cabinet, he knows that stability overwhelms everything. There is always a chance to deal with the treacherous party and cannot be rushed to achieve success.

However, when Ye Xianggao thought of what Sun Piyang said in his resignation, he couldn't help but feel even more troubled.

The reason for resigning in the resignation submitted by the old Shangshu to the emperor was that he was a heavenly official of the Ministry of Personnel, but the court lacked any official positions but did not make up for it, so he resigned.

The lack of officials and the lack of compensation has been the biggest disadvantage that has plagued the court in the past twenty years. There are no Shangshu and 15 assistant ministers in the north and south capitals; the highest supervisory impeachment agency, the Censorate of the Censorate, the Chief Censor of the Chief Censor, and the Chief Censor of the Deputy Censor; the Governor of the Other Provinces and the Governor of the Governor of the Court are all high-ranking officials, the mainstay of the court, and there are countless vacancies in the local area.

It can be said that the Ming Dynasty is probably more than half of the lack of officials. On one hand, there are vacant officials, and on the other hand, there is a long team of marquis ranks in the Ministry of Personnel. Many scholars studied hard on the list of scholars, but they were not allowed to be appointed, or they were only a small position for many years, and they were not promoted or transferred, and they were wasted their time. This is really a pity.

However, what is unbearable is that His Majesty has told the inner supervisor privately that Haiyu is peaceful and that the world is in trouble, what does the court want so many officials to do? What else do you say about how many people need to support one official? Now that you have fewer officials, you have less money to ask for less money to the people. In this way, the court saved expenses and the people benefited, wouldn’t everyone be happy?

"What do you want so many officials to do? There are so many fewer ones, isn't the court still there? It's gone." His Majesty the Emperor's original words were roughly like this.

This is such a fool, stingy, stingy!

Whenever Ye Xianggao thought of such a foolish thing that His Majesty said, he would be furious.

It should be noted that taking scholars in the imperial examinations is the foundation of the country. However, the emperor today is indifferent to imperial examinations and does not serve as officials, which is actually a severance of the country's foundation!

The Duke of Fuqing really hates Your Majesty for not fighting.

Not long ago, in order to supplement the department and the Ministry of Personnel conducted several examinations, and a total of 70 people were selected, but they did not receive the emperor's approval.

Ye Xianggao had submitted memorials dozens of times to urge him, but there was no further information.

Li Sancai can no longer enter the cabinet, but the cabinet ministers still need to make up for it!

Therefore, Ye Xianggao then submitted a memorial to request the addition of the cabinet ministers, but the result was that there was no news in the palace.

This made Ye Xianggao very disappointed. After knowing that Old Secretary Sun had written a letter to resign, he hurriedly submitted a memorial to ask His Majesty the Emperor to issue an order to keep Shangshu Sun, but the emperor ignored him like a deaf man.

Sun Piyang couldn't do it anymore. His suggestions were repeatedly rejected by the emperor, and the matter of the capital inspection could not progress. As a heavenly official, there was no action. What's the point of staying in the Ministry of Personnel again?

The old Shangshu was most angry that he took office before the New Year and recommended 138 officials who were deposed for the position to the emperor, including Gu Xiancheng, Zhao Nanxing, Zou Yuanbiao, Gao Panlong, etc., but the emperor was not sure.

Just yesterday, Sun Piyang left with his seal.

There was no movement in the palace, and even one of the officials sent to chase him back.

But I wonder if my resignation was submitted to Your Majesty and Your Majesty was indifferent.

Ye Xianggao smiled bitterly, shook his head and stood up.

After that, the cabinet spread news to the palace that the Fuqing husband was ill and could no longer be in charge of the director.

Wanli, who was fishing with the concubine, was stunned when he heard the news and hurriedly asked someone to bring the resignation report of Fuqing's husband. After reading it several times, he summoned Zhang Cheng and asked him to go to Ye to send an order to Gao's mansion immediately, saying that he would have to join the cabinet director no matter what. He also sent the imperial doctor to quickly treat the Chief Auxiliary.

Wanli really can't sit still. He can't ignore any official position, he can stay empty, but the cabinet cannot be empty. The country and the foundation of his ancestors must have a manager in charge.

Otherwise, it would be a mess.

Three groups of people were sent to Fuqing's Prime Minister's Mansion in the palace, Zhang Cheng led two groups, and the third group was Sun Xian, the eunuch of the Sili, who was the chief seal of the seal. After this time, Ye Xianggao finally agreed to return to the cabinet director, but before returning to the cabinet, he asked Sun Xian to bring a memorial to the emperor.

The content of the memorial reminded the emperor that he should prepare boats, chariots, guards and guards for King Fu.

After the memorial was in Wanli's hands, Wanli was so angry that he threw away the memorial on the spot.

Why?

Because Wanli knew that this was Ye Xianggao reminding him that it was time for King Fu to return to the vassal state.

Indeed, Ye Xianggao was reminding the emperor that he should let King Fu return to the vassal state. He just wants to do this now. If King Fu returns to the vassal state during his tenure as prime minister, his achievements would be no less than that of fighting for the founding of the country for the crown prince.

Ye Xianggao was not in a hurry, he was waiting for the emperor's approval.

In less than a day after the emperor's approval, he would not return to the cabinet to do business.

Until, the 800-li fee sent by Changzhou Prefecture made him unable to sit still.

"Hurry, prepare the car and enter the palace!"

The husband of Fuqing was so anxious that he didn't even have time to change his clothes.

At the same time, the palace also received a report from Jiangnan.

"What? He burned Donglin Academy?"

Wanli looked at Zhang Cheng in amazement. Beside Zhang Cheng was Tian Ergeng, a Jinyiweibei Town signing agent. The news was sent to the palace by Tian Ergeng himself.
