More than a hundred civil officials resigned!

Even among them, there are many senior officials such as the Minister of the Shangshu and Deputy Censor.

This phenomenon can easily affect the normal operation of the imperial government affairs.

This is also the reason why many civil officials threatened the emperor by resigning. They believed that the ruling order of the empire was inseparable from them if they wanted to operate stably.

Fortunately, not all civil officials have resigned.

Therefore, the court of Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao was not greatly affected by the resignation of more than 100 civil officials.

After Guo Dongshanchao was moved to the left deputy censor, he immediately began to arrange for the censor of the Censorate to memorialize the crimes of impeaching Dai Feng and Xue Fengming for his crimes.

The Zuodu Censor Hang Huai naturally did not dare to stop him. He approved the impeachment memorial submitted by Guo Dongshan and formally submitted it to the Jun. After Zhu Houzhao approved it, he would submit it to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation and conviction according to the procedure.

Xue Fengming and Dai Feng were taken from the East Factory Inspectorate Department to the Ministry of Justice by people from the Ministry of Justice.

Because, according to the new dynasty administrative norms established by Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao only granted the Ministry of Justice the power to imprison officials and arrest officials and sentence them, and the Dongchang Inspectorate Department cannot detain officials and civilians for a long time.

Dongchang was just authorized by the emperor to ask the loyalty of his subjects on behalf of the emperor and asked to explain the issue.

It is equivalent to later organizational questions. To be precise, it is not interrogation and conviction, nor does it interfere with the judiciary.

The Ministry of Justice interrogated Xue Fengming and Dai Guan, and it was openly interrogated. As the only central government office granted the power of arrest and interrogation by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the Ministry of Justice could not arrest and interrogate a person casually. He needed the Censorate's impeachment and prosecution to file a case before arresting and interrogation, and at the same time, he had to accept the review of Dali Temple.

Therefore, the Ministry of Justice must interrogate the prisoners publicly and be supervised by the Censorate and Dali Temple.

Although Gu Lin, the Minister of Justice, had resigned, the cabinet and other officials did not resign. Therefore, he quickly negotiated with the court and quickly let Xu Hao, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, be the Minister of Justice, become the Minister of Justice, and Xue Fengming and Dai Guan were also quickly sentenced.

Xue Fengming was beaten to 60 taels of silver for slandering the ministers and fined 1,000 taels of silver for slandering him, and was demoted to the magistrate of Kaohsiung County by the Ministry of Personnel.

Before this, Zhu Houzhao had issued an order to officially change the Eastern Front to Taiwan Prefecture, while Kaohsiung was a new county town opened by Sun Xi, the first prefect of Taiwan Prefecture sent by Zhu Houzhao.

Xue Fengming gloriously became another civil servant sent to develop Taiwan in the Ming Dynasty.

But Xue Fengming was not honored by this. He was bitter in his heart because everyone knew that becoming an official in Taiwan was equivalent to exile. It would be great to be able to come back alive!

Dai Guan was beaten to 30 taels of silver for resigning without permission and fined 500 taels of silver. He was demoted to the Shajing County Teacher.

Shajing County is a county newly opened by the Guards in the south of the desert mentioned above. The county magistrate Liu Gui mentioned that there were almost only Hu people but no Han people.

Dai Guan went to Shajing County to be a teacher, and could only teach the Hu people how to learn the Four Books and Five Classics.

Li Shi, a Hanlin scholar, Huang Fang, a Hanlin editor, and Shen Tao, a member of the Ministry of Rites, were also successively punished and demoted.

A storm that initially caused by the establishment of the National Administrative Academy finally subsided.

However, the impact of the work is still there. After hundreds of civil servants resigned, many of the civil servants who remained in the court held multiple positions, most of whom were unable to meet the strength, so it seemed quite urgent to select new officials.

In the tenth year of Zhengde, not long after the Lantern Festival, the Ministry of Personnel officially determined the list of intermediate officials who needed to enter the National Administrative Academy for rotation training, and reported it to Emperor Zhu Houzhao. It was approved by Emperor Zhu Houzhao and officially issued an edict to these intermediate officials who were selected to go to Beijing for rotation training, and ordered them to explain their government affairs and enter Beijing for admission, and the admission date was set.

Among these officials who need to be trained in Beijing, there is no need to worry, but for local officials, they have to go through some hardships.

But these officials all knew that once they were selected to study in Beijing, they would mean being promoted. Therefore, after receiving the imperial edict to be transferred to the National Academy of Administration for Study, these officials were still very happy and rushed to the capital without stopping.

The civil servants who entered Beijing were thriving in spring breeze, while the civil servants who left Beijing had no choice but to fall.

The civil servants who resigned did not expect that they would be demoted to the common people. They couldn't help but accuse those civil servants who were unwilling to resign and showed kindness to the emperor to replace their positions. They scolded these civil servants for changing their ways, calling them despicable and shameless, and calling them hypocritical.

At the same time, these civil servants who resigned from office missed the emperor's kindness to them, missed the generous rewards on the Lantern Festival every day, and missed the year-end rewards after the completion of political achievements.

Fortunately, their king and father Zhu Houzhao did not forget them.

Zhu Houzhao summoned Tang Bohu, the director of the attendant's office, who was mainly responsible for cultural propaganda.

At this time, Zhu Houzhao summoned him to him and was naturally a matter of cultural propaganda and public opinion.

"After those officials who resigned, they became common people, but their pens were still there. They hired them all to do things in the cultural field, and used silver to control their mouths with contracts. In short, don't let them be idle! Write words that are unfavorable to the government!"

"I understand that Lun Wenxu, Yan Hong are all literary leaders, and I will not let them wander on the streets!"

Tang Bohu replied with a smile, and then asked:

"However, I am worried that after these officials who were dissatisfied with the government resigned, some criticized the government, and always felt that more and more newspapers were the real prosperous era during the Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang periods. Will this be detrimental to the court?"

Zhu Houzhao also knew that after these officials resigned, many of them became public intellectuals in the Ming Dynasty and began to control the public opinion power among the people.

After all, with the advancement of printing technology in the Ming Dynasty and Zhu Houzhao, the local governments opened literacy classes and the development of national education, led to the increase in the literacy rate of Daming, the paper media industry also rose rapidly, and the Ming Dynasty entered the era of national newspaper reading.

But as a result, more and more public officials have "I worked in the Ministry of Revenue", "I have talked and laughed with the cabinet in the cabinet" or "I am the top scholar, Jie Yuan, and the head of the case".

However, the difference between the public intellectuals of the Ming Dynasty and the public intellectuals of later generations was that the public intellectuals of the Ming Dynasty always thought that the moon was rounder during the Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang periods. They compared the things from the Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang periods with the things now, and often said sour words such as "The world is getting worse and worse, but people's hearts are not as good as ever" and "How did Taizu Zhao Pu interpret the good stories of the monarch and ministers during the Tang Dynasty during the Song Dynasty" and so on.

Say some sour words and fantasize about the prosperous times in ancient times. Zhu Houzhao didn't think there was anything. After all, everyone has the right to fantasy and can imagine that they are treated well.

However, Zhu Houzhao was like Tang Bohu, worried that these Ming priests had bewitched too many people and created more pedantic people who advocated the ancients and admired the ancients, so that the entire empire would become more closed, and today's people would be less confident, and they would only be retro and not innovate.

But, it is impossible to refute it, because no one can go back to the past, and the people do not know for a moment that the older they are, the less rights they have, nor do they know that they were slaves in the past, but now they are at least self-cultivated farmers who can own private property.

"It's okay. If they use Zou Ji to mock King Qi for advice, you will use the white-haired women I asked you to write about. They pay attention to the relationship between the monarch and the ministers of the court, and you will pay attention to the relationship between the people and the people. At that time, the people will understand who is right. People's hearts cannot be deceived and cannot be deceived. Only those who want to take advantage of the advantages and want to become slave owners will be deceived and deceived. In addition, the right to interpret history cannot be controlled by those old Hanlins."

After Zhu Houzhao said this, Tang Bohu also nodded: "I understand that Zhu Yunming is probably about to arrive in Nanjing. The Pear Garden he sponsored will have a great impact on the gentry in Jiangnan."

Zhu Houzhao also nodded, and it was his idea to ask Zhu Yunming to go to Nanjing to develop drama. After all, Jiangnan was still the place that the Ming court needed to control the most. Zhu Yunming went to Nanjing to seize the lead of the gentry in Jiangnan and first guided the literate people through drama.

For the civil servants who failed in the court, they were indeed unwilling to lose their political rights just like this.

Generally speaking, many people will go to the literary world to find success if they fail in officialdom, and these civil servants are no exception.

Yan Hong found Lun Wenxu, who was born as the top scholar:

"Brother Bocho, although we were frustrated in the court and had to resign from our office for the people, this does not mean that we will sit idly by the government and be controlled by these treacherous villains! We must let the scholars and people all over the world know the ugly faces of those treacherous villains in the court!

However, now newspapers such as Huangming Pao and Ming Dynasty news are still talking to those villains in court, saying that they are truly loyal ministers, who are truly considering the country, and that we who resign from office are playing tricks and are young wives who are angry!"

"We cannot let these newspapers and magazines reverse right and wrong! Now that we are no longer officials of the court, we should use the pen in our hands to let the people of the world understand who is a gentleman and who is a villain!"

After Yan Hong said this, Lun Wenxu also responded positively:

"What Zhong Zhou said is that the court is just a struggle for power, and Your Majesty is not a foolish king. The country will not collapse, but the real trouble is these folk remarks!

Now these folk remarks are not only about contradicting right and wrong, but are derogatory to the orthodox Confucian Neo-Confucianism and promoting the miscellaneous remarks of a hundred schools of thought. Even some scholars and officials responded!

There is Tang Bohu, Zhu Yunming, who only cares about brothels and restaurants, is even more accomplices from the inside and prostitutes from the outside, saying that the crimes of gentry are greater than those of eunuchs! Such words are not arbitrary!"

“It is not only a self-degenerate literati like Tang Bohu, but also famous scholars like Wang Shouren openly advocated their original learning of mind, and proposed the unity of knowledge and action;

Confucius said, "You know your destiny and follow your nature, but he did the unity of knowledge and action. Wang Shouren is betraying the words of the saints! His crime can be punished!

There is also a man named Xia Yan who was just and just for the Three Treasures. He also said that he would uphold the will of the Three Treasures and promote the prestige of the Ming Dynasty on the sea! He even bewitched His Majesty and allocated 100,000 silver to help him in the Western Tour! He was originally a Confucian, but he considered a eunuch as a virtuous person! He was already a traitor to the Confucians!"

Yan Hong also followed and continued, "Since that's the case, Brother Bochou, we will use words to let the scholars and people in the world understand what the right way is!"
