Chapter 203: The embryonic form of party struggle! The Prime Minister retires! Ridiculous bureaucrat
Since the time of Zhu Yuanzhang.
Southerners occupied most of the Ming Dynasty officialdom!
Most of the civil and military officials in the court were from the south.
Their roots are in Jiangnan.
Their power is also there.
Zhu Houzhao's power now looms large over the world, and no one dares to resist him.
But under such a crushing trend, these people also want to negotiate some conditions.
That is to exchange the smooth progress of the reform for changes in the Ming Dynasty court.
It also allows these people from Jiangnan to be active again on the stage of the Ming Dynasty court!
.....
After hearing what Yang Heting said, Zhu Houzhao finally understood what these people were thinking.
He laughed: "No wonder Wang Yangming acted so decisively."
"I guess you figured that out, right?!"
"After the suppression of the Nanjing Six Ministries."
"The Jiangnan bureaucracy has been completely devastated!"
"Although the officials of the Jiangnan faction in the Forbidden City do not have the courage to resist me."
"But you also want the Jiangnan bureaucracy to shine again in the Forbidden City?"
"Or rather..."
Zhu Houzhao's tone suddenly turned cold: "They want to form a clique in the court for personal gain?!"
This is not a dispute over legal reform at all.
But it is the prototype of party strife!
It can even be said to be a struggle between the bureaucrats from the south of the Yangtze River and the bureaucrats from the north!
Wang Yangming went south to carry out political reforms.
This certainly shook the foundation of the Jiangnan bureaucratic system.
But in the eyes of some powerful people, this is an opportunity.
An opportunity for the Jiangnan bureaucratic group to rise again!
As long as we can make use of the reform to follow Wang Yangming.
Even Zhu Houzhao negotiated the terms.
Let all the big guys like Xia Yan return to the Forbidden City.
The Jiangnan bureaucratic group will be able to become active again and gain huge benefits.
What are some of the lands in Jiangnan?!
Even if Wang Yangming wanted to completely reform the entire Ming Dynasty, what would that matter? !
Your Majesty will need to employ people after all.
Fame! Fame!
How to achieve fame and fortune!
Of course you have the right!
As long as you have power.
They will also be able to enjoy enough wealth in the future.
What's more, it was accompanied by Zhu Houzhao's actions again and again.
The rise and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty was unstoppable.
Under this big trend.
These people may take advantage of this opportunity to go down in history.
Even more power.
After all, the Ming Dynasty was just one of the countries in the world.
The future Kyushu will be the stage for these people to truly shine!
.....
Zhu Houzhao looked at Yang Heting with cold eyes: "If I remember correctly, your ancestral home is Jiangxi?"
Yang Heting was also a member of the Jiangnan bureaucracy.
These people may not have established any clean party such as the Donglin Party yet.
But it already has a rough shape.
This action was definitely not done by one person.
It was more of an attempt by the entire Jiangnan powerful bureaucratic group.
They want to gain more power.
In this way, we can consolidate our position and take advantage of the rising trend of the Ming Dynasty.
Why did Yang Heting dare to say that before?
Doesn't he know Zhu Houzhao's temperament? !
I know it myself.
But he just dared to say that negotiating conditions would keep the powerful and wealthy in Jiangnan in check.
What does it mean? !
Naturally, Yang Heting also joined forces with them.
Yang Heting's face turned pale in an instant.
He had long known that this matter could not be concealed from His Majesty.
It’s just that Your Majesty had previously been so permissive towards Wang Yangming.
But it forced Yang Heting to say this.
He said in a hoarse voice: "Yes! But this is definitely not a clique for personal gain."
"After your majesty abolished the six ministries in Nanjing, a large number of officials were dismissed."
"Fifth-, fourth-, and even third-rank officials retired and returned home one day."
"Wang Yangming had no intention of re-employing these people."
"Of course he wants to dismantle the Jiangnan bureaucracy."
"But if Your Majesty wants to attack other countries, does that mean you don't need these people?!"
"Jiangnan also needs these people to stabilize the situation!"
"With your majesty's power."
"Who in the court dares to disobey your majesty's order?"
What factions fight for is power!
In Yang Heting's view, this is not a party dispute.
It was definitely not an attempt to force Zhu Houzhao to abdicate, and they would never dare to do so!
This is nothing more than the Jiangnan bureaucratic group's desire to revive.
If that's the case, what if we let them revive?
After all, the imperial power is supreme in the Ming Dynasty today, and it will remain so in the future.
On the contrary, if we can make good use of these people, the Ming Dynasty can quickly become strong.
Zhu Houzhao sneered: "Yang Heting, Yang Heting!"
He didn't know that Yang Heting was really senile and confused.
Still playing dumb.
This incident is actually very simple and clear.
To put it bluntly, these Jiangnan bureaucratic groups are just unwilling to accept this.
They were already high and mighty in the past.
He even came up with the Nanjing Six.
After Zhu Houzhao defeated them in one day.
These people naturally want to rise again.
There is nothing wrong with this.
But you also have to be sensible!
If everyone cooperates with the reform.
Then Zhu Houzhao would naturally not care about southerners or northerners.
He will use the talents he has and re-employ them when the time is right.
But these people are still used to doing things the same way as before.
Do they really think Zhu Houzhao is still the late emperor?
Or do you think Zhu Houzhao is Jiajing? Chongzhen?!
Zhu Houzhao was not in charge of government affairs.
That's because he has more things to do.
It's not that I really don't understand what party struggle is or what political tactics are!
"You don't need to be the Prime Minister anymore."
"I will retire and return home tomorrow!"
"Tell those people." Zhu Houzhao said coldly, "If they behave themselves."
"I will not specifically target them, but if they want to do something in private."
"The only outcome is the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire family!"
Yang Heting's tenure as Prime Minister has come to an end.
Or in other words, it accompanied the gradual rise of the Ming Dynasty.
Yang Heting was unable to control the situation.
Although he was the chief minister.
But there are too many people in Jiangnan who will not give him face.
Yang Heting was not really the leader of Jiangnan.
Even the Prime Minister Li Dongyang was temporary.
Matters of the court.
Perhaps it will take Wang Yangming's personal visit to the Forbidden City for stability to return.
.....
Yang Heting looked at Zhu Houzhao in a daze.
He opened his mouth.
In the end, I didn't dare say anything more.
He just kowtowed respectfully and then slowly placed his official hat on the ground.
Yang Heting's back looked much older when he left.
This Prime Minister may not really have any intentions.
It's more just for the sake of stability.
But no one had figured out what Zhu Houzhao was seeking through his reforms!
What he wanted was a prosperous and peaceful Ming Dynasty.
A truly powerful and glorious Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Houzhao gave Li Dongyang a few more instructions and then let him go.
After the Prime Minister Yang Heting retired and returned to his hometown.
The officials in the Forbidden City would instantly become quiet.
Zhu Houzhao was too lazy to pay attention to these court affairs.
He looked at the system again.
Today you can sign in again.
