- "Your Majesty has planned for the future and has repeatedly changed his orders. He denies what he said. He wants to fool the world but is actually using the world as a show. However, since your Majesty has the intention of annexing the title, he pretends to be the hand of Xi Jue and gives the decree to the Ministry of Rites. Xi Jue is making a big mistake. , Wang Jiaping is at ease, and your majesty is courteous and courteous to his ministers, so he will not bring shame on himself. However, he did not say a word, but he was so worried about gains and losses that he could not control himself! However"
Zhu Yijun looked at the memorial in his hand and became angry. He looked at the signature, Zhu Weijing, the Prime Minister of Guanglu Temple! Well, there is a dispensable minister, then put this memorial on the left hand side, and then pick up another one.
"Although Your Majesty was angry and provoked the ministers, and set a date for the enthronement, he did not repeatedly abandon the matter. Now that the date has expired, it was suddenly announced that he would be crowned king in anticipation of a suitable heir. I said that Your Majesty was not serious about it. In ancient times, kings had no concubines. Favoritism means that the suitable offspring will have many heirs; if later generations love to be special, the friendship between heaven and earth will not always be harmonious. Since our ancestors, how many people have been born in the middle palace? The foundation of the country was determined early, but Yuanzi was the genus, or he was established at the age of two or three, or He stood up at the age of five or six. That is to say, when His Majesty was enthroned in the Spring Palace, he was only six years old. Would it be better to wait for the concubine's discussion and the imperial edict with King Lu? Inside Kuang Palace"
"Snapped!"
Zhu Yijun didn¡¯t even finish reading it, so he angrily threw the even more outrageous memorial on the table. Then he picked it up again, looked at the signature, and gave it to Wang Rujian, very good! He was not an inseparable minister, so he placed this memorial on his left hand again.
Next, Zhu Yijun read more than a dozen copies in a row, and without exception, they were all about the "three kings being sealed together". Even though he had expected it, but seeing that many of the words in these memorials were quite extreme, the anger in his heart still couldn't stop popping up.
Zhu Yijun's plan was indeed very successful. After reading more than a dozen memorials, none of them had doubts about the emperor's eldest son being "assassinated and fell into the water". Two of them even mentioned it slightly, asking the emperor to send more manpower. Protecting the safety of the emperor's eldest son, but that's all.
Looking at the memorials on the left hand side that were too outrageous, Zhu Yijun was ready to punish them. This is also his method. Every once in a while, after the ministers get into trouble, he will punish a group of people, so that those ministers will be honest for a period of time. Otherwise, if there is no punishment, wouldn't it only encourage the officials' arrogance? Then they will be more cheerful, diligent and unscrupulous!
"Long live my lord, the chief assistant Wang Xijue would like to see you." Xu Fu said cautiously after coming in. He really didn't want to come in at this time. Every time the emperor got angry after reading the memorial, some of the attendants in the Wenhua Palace would get into trouble and suffer bad luck.
Zhu Yijun frowned. It was just after Mao Shi, why did Wang Xijue enter the palace so early? Chen comes in and Shen goes out. These are the fixed office hours of the cabinet. They have not changed since Emperor Chengzu moved the capital to Beijing.
However, since the chief assistant is here, he cannot miss it. After all, the cabinet is the center for Zhu Yijun to control the Ming Dynasty, and the chief assistant is the top priority.
"Call him in." Zhu Yijun hesitated for a moment holding the memorial in his hand, but in the end he did not put it on the left. Under normal circumstances, in his mind, Zhu Yijun would not punish those ministers who were somewhat talented, even if their words were radical, as long as they did not exceed his bottom line.
"I am here to see you, Your Majesty." After Wang Xijue came in, he knelt down and said.
"Sir, please get up. It's nearly an hour before the cabinet office hours. It's freezing cold. Why are you here so early?" Zhu Yijun asked with a smile. Since he came to take charge, both Shen Shixing and the Wang family have Ping, or other cabinet bachelors, he has always been very polite and has never been too harsh. At most, he just yelled twice when he was really angry.
Wang Xijue stood up and cupped his hands, then took out a memorandum and put his hands above his head: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen is here to resign. This is Wei Chen's resignation letter."
Zhu Yijun smiled casually, and he had some understanding of the thoughts of these ministers. No matter who he is or how high his official position is, as long as he is impeached by other ministers, the impeached official will go to court the next day and ask for resignation to prove his innocence.
Of course Zhu Yijun knew that Wang Xijue was besieged and reprimanded by the ministers yesterday. In the memorial he just read, there were many people who opposed the "three kings' merger" and impeached Wang Xijue. This Wang Xijue also petitioned for impeachment. For a job, right?
Xu Fu took Wang Xijue's resignation letter from him and placed it on the dragon table in front of Zhu Yijun with both hands.
Zhu Yijun just glanced at the resignation letter in front of him, and did not pick it up to read it. Instead, he said with a smile: "No! I don't want you to become the shortest minister in the history of the Ming Dynasty who held the position of chief minister. Haha, it's only been one day." That¡¯s all.¡±
Wang Xijue knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I am guilty and I am ashamed of my position as chief minister. I dare not stay no longer. But I ask for your approval. I have decided to leave."
"Noallow! Sir is my most valued first assistant. His knowledge and conduct are trustworthy. I am still waiting to create a prosperous age with your help! "Zhu Yijun smiled. It seems that Wang Xijue wants to resign.
"I sincerely resign. I am ashamed of the emperor. I would like to ask the emperor to read my memorial and approve my request." Wang Xijue came to resign for the third time as Zhu Yijun expected.
Zhu Yijun did not look at Wang Xijue's request for official appointment that was placed on the Long Case, but smiled and uttered two words: "No!"
"Your Majesty, I am resigning because I realize that I have wronged Your Majesty. I am so ashamed and ashamed that I no longer dare to stand in the court. I beg Your Majesty to have mercy on me and allow me to leave." Wang Xijue resigned for the fourth time.
Zhu Yijun frowned, a little angry. This is the fourth time. What else do you want to do? As a human being, you must know when enough is enough.
"Have you misunderstood me? Please tell me clearly." This time he didn't even say "sir", which was a reminder to Wang Xijue that he was a little impatient.
However, Wang Xijue did not seem to notice Zhu Yijun's impatience, but said to himself: "The old minister made three mistakes about the emperor, all of which were related to the matter of making the king. First, he did not make an all-out remonstrance and blindly drafted two edicts for the emperor. The purpose was to make a big mistake. The second was that the "Ancestors of the Emperor's Ming Dynasty" had a biased understanding of the provision of "waiting for direct descendants", which caused a mistake to the emperor. The third was that the purpose of "waiting for direct descendants" was an unfounded ritual and was not explained to the emperor at the beginning. , it¡¯s all the veteran¡¯s fault.¡±
Seeing Zhu Yijun's changed face, Wang Xijue continued: "The old minister made these three mistakes." Although the emperor did not blame him, the old minister asked himself, feeling ashamed of his ancestors and the emperor. Not only that, such an act of disrupting the ancestral system will also cause trouble in future generations, so the old minister feels ashamed of the world and future generations. I would like to ask, what kind of appearance does the veteran have to gain a foothold in the court? What face does he have to assist the emperor? Please allow your Majesty to let me go back to my hometown and live a lifeless life. "
Zhu Yijun picked up the tea on the dragon table and drank it all in one gulp, trying to calm down his anger. He didn't expect that Wang Xijue couldn't stand the pressure of the ministers after just one night. It was really unexpected.
Although Zhu Yijun had long thought that it would be difficult to implement the "three kings' simultaneous seal", Wang Xijue's overt and covert intention to make him withdraw his will could still be heard. It's just that Zhu Yijun still didn't want to do this matter of retracting the decree the next day. This not only undermined his authority, but also hurt his face!
"Chief Assistant, please don't mention your resignation again. You can go back to the cabinet to handle matters." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and wanted to send Wang Xijue away as soon as possible. At this time, his heart is full of resentment. You should stand by me for ten and a half days. No matter how bad it is, you can stand by me for three to five days! But now it's better, just after one day I can't bear it anymore.
"Your Majesty!" Wang Xijue did not leave. He cupped his hands and said in a firm tone: "I have decided to leave. Please forgive me for being rude. Even if the emperor does not approve my request to become an official, I will hang up and leave."
"you¡¡"
Zhu Yijun suddenly became angry, are you, old guy, threatening me?
"Your Majesty, if the old minister hangs up his crown and leaves, I believe most people will believe that the edict of 'three kings conferring the title' was drafted by the old minister under duress. Therefore, the old minister begs the emperor to approve the old minister's official attitude, so as not to be punished. At that time, some people suspected that the emperor was causing trouble." Wang Xijue's face was calm, and there was no trace of sadness or joy.
threaten! An absolute threat! Could it be that if I approve your application for employment, others will think that I am not coercing you? This old guy is really a headache!
However, Zhu Yijun still understands the temperament of his former official. He knows that he is an upright person who accepts soft things but not hard words. Otherwise, there would be no need to play the emotional card last time.
"As a king, I am ashamed to be held hostage by my subordinates. The same is true now for the first assistant. If I withdraw my will, where will I be put?" Zhu Yijun turned into a bitter melon face, pouring out the bitterness, and he was so stubborn that he had no use for this old guy. Not big, so I had to use soft ones.
