Chapter 594 Depressed Zhu Cilong

Zhu Cilang has been in a very upset recently. It has been more than half a month since he ascended the throne, but he was really happy for only three days.

Taking advantage of the reason why the new emperor ascended the throne, he helped several masters who had taught him to govern the country to a high position.

But I never thought that the court officials had a lot of criticism about this move. Some officials behind their backs said that he was nepotism and spoke ill of the Masters who respected him particularly badly.

It is not a big deal to promote some old ministers of the Eastern Palace to serve as officials in the court. After all, the emperor and the ministers of all dynasties have done this.

The new emperor ascended the throne means that the late emperor will go west. Compared with the original officials, the new emperor naturally trusts the master who has always been by his side and teaches him benevolence, righteousness, courtesy and wisdom.

Faced with such situations, the ministers in the court basically chose to turn a blind eye and steadily survived until retirement.

After all, if they are close to each other, they are with the old emperor, so they are naturally not as close as those of the old ministers of the Eastern Palace.

The problem is just here! Chongzhen is not dead yet!

These old ministers and Chongzhen experienced the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty. They had no contribution and had hard work, and they were all very energetic.

In addition, the Supreme Emperor was staring at the edge of the capital, so they refused to listen to these "young young people". Moreover, they believed that Chongzhen would not allow the new emperor to suppress them unscrupulously.

At the beginning, Zhu Cilang thought that it was just some small friction between each other, and it would probably be enough to get it done after it was running in.

But it has been more than half a month since I started working out. Not only has it stopped, but things have become more serious.

Among the three important ministers who were airborne, Cheng Zhi, the Minister of Rites, and Chen Taiying, the Right Deputy Censor of the Inspectorate, were fine. After all, everyone did not have to break up with each other's duties.

But the position of the Right Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is different. The Ministry of Personnel is the head of the six ministries, and controls the assessment of all officials in the entire court. The power (oil) and power (water) here is enough to make all the subordinates jealous.

Zhang Tianlu is a small fourth-rank Zhan Shi's mansion, how can he occupy such an important position?

First, Wang Yuangu, the left minister of the Ministry of Justice, submitted a memorial to impeach Zhang Tianlu, the new right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, to support the forces of the Eastern Palace and deliberately suppress the ministers in the court.

Wang Yuangu was the candidate who had the most chance to take over as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel begged for bones to retire and return home.

Moreover, he had always had a good relationship with Fang Yuegong, the Minister of Personnel. He thought Fang Yuegong had submitted a memorial and recommended it. In addition, the cabinet was full of old ministers who shared the joys and sorrows, so it was almost certain to make a decision.

But at the beginning of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, he directly disrupted all this.

Wang Yuangu almost got angry and discussed with several old friends that he would definitely give these "young people" some colors.

Zhang Tianlu was 42 years old, the second place in the new academic year of the sixth year of the Tianqi period, Wang Yuan was 64 years old, and of course he could be called a young man in his eyes.

This guy Zhang Tianlu is not a good guy. When Zhang Tianlu was hiding his strength in the Zhan Shi Mansion, he had already understood the situation of the ministers in the court.

The day after Wang Yuangu impeached him, this guy also wrote a book about Wang Yuangu, impeaching him as an old man. He still took Chen Yuqi, a famous brothel as his concubine at the age of 64. He was an injustice and corrupted the prestige of the court.

In fact, many officials have been indulging in love with each other these days. Most of the brothels opened under the imperial court system are only open to scholars with fame and fortune, and they are nothing.

But this is limited to officials below the fourth rank. They are in high positions like Wang Yuangu, but are suppressed by their identity and are easily criticized.

In addition, Zhang Tianlu had been with Zhu Cilang for a long time, and he was even more arrogant. The two of them quoted classics and argued according to reason in the court, and later they performed a full martial arts campaign.

Zhang Tianlu pointed at Wang Yuangu's face and scolded him shamelessly. Wang Yuangu was 64 years old and could not bear such insults and abuses.

He said that he could not tell the cleverness of Zhang Tianlu, so he stepped forward and scratched Zhang Tianlu for a moment. The old man had a good nail repair, and in just one moment, Zhang Tianlu broke his appearance, and was very ferocious.

Zhang Tianlu touched his handsome face and was covered with blood. He screamed and wanted to fight back. Wang Yuangu was 64, so how could he beat Zhang Tianlu? Zhang Tianlu's fist made Wang Yuangu's nose bloody.

Four or five old men were worried that something would happen to Lao Wang, so they began to stumble. Cheng Zhi, a former colleague of the Zhan Shi Mansion, and Chen Taiying couldn't bear to be beaten up by his friends, so he lifted up his sleeves and joined the battle formation.

Although the old ministers of the Eastern Palace were young, they could not hold on to the old man. They were both sides and tear them around. In just a moment, Zhang Tianlu's hair bun was torn into pieces, and even his clothes were torn into several big holes.

"Do you still have the emperor of me in your eyes?" Zhu Cixuan sat on the dragon throne and his eyes were almost on fire. He couldn't believe his eyes.

I only heard that many ministers in the court were indulging in those years when my father came to the court, but once I came to him personally, I realized that this emperor was not easy to be a man.

After saying that, he snorted angrily and retreated to the court. Then Zhu Cilang's solution was that Zhang Tianlu and Wang Yuangu each had a salary of two months and issued an order for whom he dared to fight in the court again, and was punished for serious crimes.

Zhu Cilang had no choice. Although he wanted to favor Zhang Tianlu, he did not dare to do anything to the old ministers.

After all, these are his father's old ministers. If he really attacked the old ministers as soon as he ascended the throne, he would not have the shame to see his father in Xishan Villa.

I thought that the matter of issuing an order would be over, but Zhu Cixuan underestimated these old ministers.

What kind of old ministers, whose average age is fifty-five, have never experienced any situations?

The first battle for the new king to ascend the throne must be won. While the new king is young, he must let him know their power and let him know that they are not easy to bully.

Otherwise, what kind of face will you have to stand in this court in the future? Will these young people be arrogant and domineering on their own?

On the second day, except for the chief minister and second assistant of the cabinet, almost all the old ministers joined the new war. The impeachment memorials were filled with impeachment, and two large boxes were collected in just two days.

Zhang Tianlu, Cheng Zhi and others were not willing to be outdone. They gathered many censors of the Inspectorate who had been suppressed so much that they had been retaliated.

Zhu Cilang was simply crazy. He had never experienced such a situation at the age of seventeen. He had to learn his father's killer move - stay at home and never send it.

Any number of memorials you write, you will throw them into the box after receiving them, and you won’t even look at them. Anyway, there are many boxes in the palace.

However, only those who have used it know whether this method is easy to use. After a few days, few people agreed to the collection of commercial taxes that Zhu Cilang ordered the court officials to supervise.

Not only did the old ministers in the court say nothing, but even his old ministers in the East Palace did not give a clear answer, Zhu Cilang suddenly became unfamiliar inside and outside.

The drawings of Tusen were broken. This method was useful because after being the emperor for so many years, the people below knew what they could do and couldn't do.

But what about Zhu Cixuan? He is just a 17-year-old kid. It’s hard to say if you want to perfunctory?

Zhu Cilang was helpless and started drinking in the Ganqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, why not invite the Prince of Anguo to come to the palace to see him?" Pang Dahai, the eunuch who was serving on the side, couldn't bear to his master's frustration and suggested.
