Chapter 477 Controversy
He dares to scold the censors, and his words are vulgar, as vulgar as a barracks in the market.
All the civil and military officials in the court, who are not a great scholar here who is well-read in poetry and books? Besides, you are still a prince.
The crown prince was influenced by Confucian culture since childhood. As the crown prince, he was even more cautious than the emperor.
If you speak in a ruthless manner and act frivolously, once you are impeached by censors and attack them, you may even lose the position of crown prince.
Zhu Cixuan said these words in front of the civil and military officials in the court, which was tantamount to seeking death.
Even Emperor Chongzhen on the dragon throne was shocked. Is this rebellious son crazy? You know, what did you say just now?
Wang Chengen beside Chongzhen was even more scared and his face was pale. The civil and military officials in the court did not react for a while. After a while, everyone's faces were full of shock and shock.
And the officials who had been insulted by Zhu Cilang directly buzzed their heads. Many people couldn't believe whether the prince was crazy.
"Rebel, prince, what are you talking nonsense!" Chongzhen was furious, and several censors could not afford to offend him, the emperor.
Behind the censors are scholars from all over the world. Moreover, censors are known for their courage to speak out directly. Once the emperor targets censors, he will fight against scholars from all over the world. The consequences are often very tragic.
The pen is in the hands of scholars all over the world, and they will arrange you into a tyrant monarch who will be in trouble for thousands of years.
Therefore, few emperors in history have provoked censors. However, there are exceptions.
For example, Zhu Yuanzhang, who once made the decision to be innocent of the person who spoke, killed an official named Ye Boju.
In order to preserve the glory and wealth of future generations, Zhu Yuanzhang implemented a feudal system. That is to say, he divided his sons into vassals.
Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict to him that he could speak freely, so Ye Boju "responds to the imperial edict" to the hidden dangers of the feudal division, and listed the lessons of the country's unrest and even destruction due to the feudal division since the Han Dynasty, and advised the emperor not to enfeoff the vassal state.
In the ninth year of Hongwu, Ye Boju wrote letters one after another, saying that the world can have three things: the feudal division is too extravagant, the punishment is too complicated, and the treatment is too urgent.
After reading Ye Boju's second proposal, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious. The emperor was furious and said, "Boy, I will catch my flesh and blood quickly, and I will shoot it!"
So he ordered the Jinyiwei to bring Ye Boju to the prison of the imperial prison. Zhu Yuanzhang believed that this was Ye Boju's rebellious remarks to alienate the royal family affection. His heart was vicious and he could not extricate his anger from death.
Finally, Ye Boju tried all kinds of torture in the prison of the imperial prison and was tortured to death.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was the founding emperor. He had many right and wrong, and it was not easy to discredit just by the four words "The Founding King".
But later emperors were not able to do so. Their kingdom was not conquered, but inherited.
At this time, they were afraid of the censors' remarks.
Even though Huang Taiji sent troops to Liaodong this time, these censors were talking nonsense, and Chongzhen still didn't take it seriously.
But Zhu Cilang couldn't bear it. What's the use of keeping you guys who talked about the military and officials on paper?
It is undeniable that the censors in the prosperous era have indeed played the role of correcting the king's mistakes and being brave enough to speak out justly and forthrightly.
However, in the troubled times, censors really don’t need what they need most. On the contrary, some of their unrealistic remarks are likely to influence the situation.
In troubled times, you need a decisive commander, not to be influenced by others' words. You need to face and solve various problems with your own abilities.
Zhu Cilang was not afraid: "Father, sons hate these censors who are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality. When these dogs are used, they are not used to do anything. When they are not needed, they are good at making intentional trips.
For example, this time Huang Taiji invasion, no one thought about the reason, nor how to face it correctly. The three camps were transferred to Liaodong, and the capital was the center of my world. My son wanted to ask, who will defend the capital?"
Zhu Cilang is right. In fact, many people in the court have been unhappy with these censors for a long time. This time, many people actually felt that the prince’s words were reasonable.
If the censors are not arrogant, can they still go to heaven? But the prince's words are too intense.
When Zhu Cixuan scolded, the censors immediately cried and started to snatch the earth.
"Long live, I'm wronged. The old minister assisted the three generations of emperors. How polite the late emperor was to treat the old minister. His Royal Highness humiliated the old minister so much, what did the old minister do wrong?"
"Long live my face without any habit. I just made a few suggestions. Your Highness wants to insult me like this. Long live my life, so it's better to kill me."
"I dare to ask the Crown Prince, what is the evidence that the old minister was written by the Jiannu. The old minister was loyal to the Ming Dynasty and was half-written. Where is the evidence of His Highness's slander!"
Several censors burst into tears, and for a moment they pointed their finger at Zhu Cilang.
Chongzhen was also helpless and silent for a while before saying, "As a prince, you should be guilty of being a ruthless person!"
Zhu Cilang raised his head and replied, "Father, benevolence, righteousness and morality cannot save the world, and cannot defeat Jiannu. Is the minister just telling the truth? Have the censors fought? Have the censors fought? Have the censors been to the border? Have the ministers been there. They rely on their own words of no bad words and are here to promote and play with right and wrong, which will delay major events!"
"I am just making a suggestion, how can I promote my tongue? Your Highness, you are so powerful."
"That's right, you are not the emperor yet. If you become the emperor in the future, you will want to dismiss all the old ministers and the others from office and dismiss them."
"That's right, I think the prince becomes the emperor in the future, so we don't need to dismiss us from dismissal. A few of us old people should resign in advance, so as not to get in the eyes of others here."
Zhu Cixuan's words and deeds did cause a lot of trouble. The censors were clever and started to sarcastically and scolded the monks.
The situation was a little out of control for a while, and the deadly Emperor Chongzhen could not be too biased towards his son. Otherwise, these censors would have a big pen and a big mouthful, and they might have arranged some rumors.
Zhu Cilang really has no good way to deal with a few old people. The censors pay attention to reputation, and most of them have always regarded themselves as clear water. Sometimes it is difficult to seize their handle.
But Zhu Cilang was completely annoyed. He said to several censors angrily: "In the future, I will inherit the throne and will not dismiss the censor from office, but will kill all those who advocate the slander!"
Violent and fierce, the crown prince at this time was so cruel in the eyes of everyone. The ministers looked at each other, and everyone was filled with horror.
Even the censors were frightened silly. They never expected that the prince could say this.
In fact, since he decided to provoke these censors, Zhu Cilang has not been afraid of the consequences. Because no one dares to do anything to him now.
