Chapter 539 The chief executive resigns! 【1 more】
Chu Yi is indeed powerful and has many supporters, but Chu Yi's situation in the court is one of two extremes. While there are many supporters, there are actually many officials who are dissatisfied with Chu Yi.
In order to control the right to speak, Chu Yi killed too many high-ranking officials and powerful officials. Even if he was raiding his home and exterminated his clan, don’t forget that there is still a teacher-student relationship outside the nine clans.
However, the Ming Dynasty officialdom was full of networks of relationships, and many officials were classmates. In the same year, the relationship between teachers and students was connected and formed a large network.
Such a big net, even a powerful figure like Chu Yi, would not be able to completely break it. Therefore, while Chu Yi cleaned up some of the high-ranking officials and powerful people, he also offended a considerable number of officials.
If it weren't for this, there wouldn't be a huge rebellion of King Ning. Although it was not without Chu Yi's support, the rebellion of King Ning swept most of the Jiangnan area. If there were no officials involved, the vassal kings in Ning would definitely not have caused such a big storm.
Just looking at Chu Yi's current power, there are still officials who dare to jump out to impeach Chu Yi. It can be seen that the forces against Chu Yi still exist in the court.
Even if Gu Dayong is not there, there are still other people who will target Chu Yi. If you really want to say that the whole court is solid and everyone surrenders to Chu Yi, Chu Yi himself would not believe it.
The emperor returned to protect Chu Yi as expected. Just as the officials saw Chu Yi react, a censor stepped forward and bowed to the emperor with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, I impeach King Wu Chu Yi, I secretly greed for the spoils of war in the United States, and rewarded the soldiers who went out to fight to buy people's hearts. This is a very rebellious act..."
"Um!"
In the court, the officials were shocked when they heard this. If those officials who had stood up to impeach Chu Yi would not have threatened Chu Yi, the impeachment of the censor now would be a big problem.
This person impeached Chu Yi and invited the army to buy morale, and made a ill-intentioned plan. For anyone, once this crime is confirmed, it is the unforgivable crime of raiding the family and extermination of the clan.
Chu Yi really wanted to buy people's hearts, is he arbitrary?
Many officials subconsciously looked at Chu Yi. If Chu Yi disdained the charge of disrespect for the prince before, then now he has put the hat of rebellion on his head. Can Chu Yi still sit still?
The censor Wu Kang stroked his beard and noticed the eyes of the officials looking at him. Wu Kang's face was filled with a hint of pride. As the censor, if he didn't even have the courage to impeach the powerful, then why would he be a censor? Wu Kang is nearly 60 years old and is almost at the age of retirement. At this age, what Wu Kang thinks about is how to leave a mark in history.
So Wu Kang had his eyes on Chu Yi, and his luck seemed to be very good, which made him accidentally find out that Chu Yi had rewarded the generals in the army in Japan.
Wu Kang was so excited after finding out this. As the commander of the army, he was afraid of the emperor when he was leading the army. Chu Yi even rewarded the soldiers with great force. Such a move was simply unhappy for himself.
Even if any emperor is a little afraid, Chu Yi’s actions in Japan alone can be enough to condemn the heinous crime of planning to rebel.
Before Chu Yi could speak, a general stood up among the military generals and shouted angrily at the censor Wu Kang: "Bold Wu Kang, you dare to slander Your Highness. Do you say that Your Highness rebelled, but is there any evidence?"
Wu Kang looked disdainful and glanced at the third-grade martial honor. Although the other party's grade was even higher than his, Wu Kang's eyes looked at the other party were full of disdain.
Since the Tumu Fort Incident, Wu Xun's backbone was broken, and the situation of checks and balances between civil and military officials and military officials in the Ming Dynasty had been completely broken.
Especially when Yu Qian was in charge of the Ministry of War with his literati, he seized all the power of the Governor's Office of the Five Army. Since then, the military honors in the court have become a decoration. When facing the fifth and sixth rank civil servants, he was humble and could not raise his head.
Even with the support of Chu Yi, a group of newly promoted nobles had mastered a lot of real power and gradually restored their status as military men, but over the long run, the disdain of literati towards military men has not changed much. Just like Wu Kang, since he entered the court, the civil servant group has completely suppressed the Wuxun Group. For decades, it is obviously impossible for him to change his attitude towards Wuxun.
Wu Kang's disdainful look made the Wu Xun present angry, especially the Wu Xun who stood up to question Wu Kang, with an angry look on his face, and he strode forward, grabbed Wu Kang's collar in amid Wu Kang's scream, pulled him closer and shouted, "You dare to look down on me!"
"It's a shame, it's a shame, I won't let go of me..."
Wu Kang reacted and couldn't help but curse at the other party.
At this moment, several old censors frowned and said angrily at the martial arts honor: "Reckless man, you are such a reckless man. In the court, how could you be a rampant place for martial arts like you..."
Seeing that the Wu Xun was besieged by several old censors, he heard a light cough. As a member of the cabinet, Yang Yiqing, the Minister of War, stepped forward, first bowed to the emperor with an unexpected look, and then said to Qiu Yue: "Boe Xianning, in the court, the emperor is in front of the emperor, how dare you be arrogant? Don't let go of the imperial censor Wu!"
It turned out that this martial honor was Qiu Yue, a guerrilla general in Ningxia who had made contributions to quell the Zhuyou Rebellion in the past. Because of his contributions to quell the Zhuyou Rebellion, he was named Xianning Bo for his merits.
Qiu Yue is a good general. He was appointed as the general of the bandits by the emperor. He was the throne-paced general. Among the many martial arts, he is also a new martial arts honor. He can be said to be one of the most famous and prestigious martial arts honors.
Qiu Yue let go of Wu Kang, bowed to the emperor, and said in a solemn voice: "I was angry for a moment and was unceremonious in the court. I am willing to be punished. However, the Censor Wu dared to slander His Highness the King of Wu's intention to rebel. His intentions are punished. I also asked Your Majesty to punish the Censor Wu for his slandering crimes!"
Suddenly, more than a dozen martial experts bowed to the emperor and said, "I beg your Majesty to punish the crime of the Censor Wu!"
As martial honors, especially these martial honors who stood up, are the new martial honors who have accumulated merits and promoted in the wars in recent years. It can be said that these people are not like those old martial honor families. They have long lost their courage as martial honors, and are all left with their minds of enjoyment and conspiracy.
It can be seen that among the ranks of military generals, a considerable number of veteran military honors and gods stood there without moving for a moment, as if the civil servants and censors had nothing to do with them at all.
The difference between the old martial arts and the new martial arts can be clearly seen by just looking at it.
Wu Kang looked at the dozen or so martial honors kneeling on the ground and made a big fuss, not only did not panic, but instead looked proud, laughed, pointed at the group of martial honors, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, have you seen it? This is the evidence, this is the evidence that Chu Yi formed a clique in the army and had a bad intention!"
"Ah, shit..."
"You're fucking slander..."
"Wow, I'm so angry..."
If more than a dozen new martial artists talk about scheming and eloquence, how could they be compared to these old-fashioned officials who have been ups and downs in the officialdom for decades?
With a bang, Zhu Houzhao, who had been sitting there, looked gloomy and slapped the armrest of the dragon chaise, and said angrily: "Enough, when this is where is the place, where is the tiger in front of the hall? I will drag all the roaring people of the court, your highness who have lost their etiquette out of the hall, and take twenty poles!"
Suddenly, a team of mighty tiger guards came out one after another. Under the astonished gaze of civil and military officials, Wu Kang and other censors who were stroking their beards and saliva were flying around.
Wu Kang and others were pointing at Qiu Yue and other new martial meritorious words and mocking them like a knife, but suddenly they were stunned by the emperor's anger.
Although Qiu Yue and his men were also erected by the Hu Ben Guard, they were all from powerful generals in the army and were just slaughtered. They didn't care at all. Instead, they looked at Wu Kang and others with anticipation.
Wu Kang and others who reacted could not help but shouted to the emperor: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I will wait, if Chu Yi doesn't eliminate it, my Ming Dynasty will be in danger..."
Zhu Houzhao, who had originally looked gloomy, snorted coldly: "Give me a hard beating!"
Suddenly, the sound of a slaughter of a stick came from outside the hall, bang bang bang bang. The dull slaughter sounded, and soon a shrill wail sounded. Needless to say, how could the old censors such as Wu Kang stand the slaughter of a stick?
"Hahaha!"
Also accompanied by the wailing sounds of Wu Kang and others were the cheerful laughter of Wu Xun and others.
They were not cared about because they were not cared for, but they were just cared for the stick? They had gone through the battlefield, and they had not known how many times they had left before the gates of hell, and they had countless scars on their bodies. What is the mere stick for the stick?
He heard Zhu Houzhao say coldly: "The soldiers outside the Chu Dalian rewards are all acting according to my will. If anyone slanders the Dalian, I will definitely punish you severely."
I thought that this could shake Chu Yi's foundation and even create a rift between the emperor and Chu Yi, but according to the emperor's reaction, many officials sighed in their hearts.
However, some officials were secretly happy. In their opinion, Zhu Houzhao was furious, which meant that Wu Kang's impeachment had taken effect. Although Zhu Houzhao was to protect Chu Yi, if Zhu Houzhao did not have any rift towards Chu Yi, at least they would not believe it.
Facing these waves of impeachment, Chu Yi, who had never reacted, sighed lightly, stepped forward and politely said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, to show my innocence, I would like to ask Your Majesty to allow me to resign from the position of Chief Supervisor of the Qualification and General Manager of the Imperial Horse Supervisor!"
