After several days of fermentation, the matter in Yangzhou Prefecture quickly spread to the capital, and naturally it was in an uproar.

I don’t know how many memorials were sent to the Silijian, and all the details of Zhou Jinyao were revealed, like a whipping corpse, cursing him to the end.

These people did not relieve their hatred, and then they dug out Zhou Jinyao's recommendation, and their ancestors criticized them for several generations, followed by attacking the Ministry of Personnel, and then the cabinet.

Although Zhu Xu had incorporated the censors into the Governor's General Assembly in various ways and controlled them tightly, this time, they were not the ones who wrote the letter to impeach them, but were mostly from the first-level prefectures and counties, most of them, from the seventh to the fifth-level, and each of them was from a Jinshi. The swearing was a dirty word, but they could make people angry.

Most importantly, there is another force emerging here, that is, the members of the National Parliament.

These "idle people" from the local area have accumulated a lot of dissatisfaction, as if they have found a vent, using various relationships to guide public opinion, and their targets are directly aimed at the cabinet. Although they do not have Bi Ziyan's name, they are also well-known.

In the cabinet, Bi Ziyan's face turned pale and he threw down his favorite teacup. The people outside were silent and had never seen Bi Ziyan so angry.

Sun Chuanting, Fu Changzong and others were frightened, and a look of fear appeared in their eyes.

This reminds them of some things that they have almost forgotten. This kind of wave of attacks is like the one who turned the tide of attacks, which was the one who turned the tide of attacks, and the tide of attacks. The recent big shots such as Ye Xianggao and Zhao Nanxing have almost all fallen in this kind of attacks.

No one can stick to such a "people's heart" and there is almost no other way except Mingzhe who resigns from office!

This is not a good phenomenon, it seems that something is back.

Sun Chengzong was already over seventy years old and was a person who had experienced the era of Zhang Juzheng. He deeply understood the terribleness of party struggles. Whether it was Yan Song, Xu Jie, Gao Gong, or even Zhang Juzheng, they all had to be in power for decades, but they were not just about to fall and could not die after death.

This is an individual or a party, but the burden on the country is unimaginable. Xu Jie held the Jiajing imperial edict and captured the hearts of the people of the world, trying to rectify the various chaos in Jiajing and vigorously reformed it, but he fell in a few years. Gao Gong was also a capable person, but he struggled in the party struggle and did not end up in the end. The boss went all out, and Zhang Juzheng had a good environment and inherited their reform ambitions. After his death, he was dug out and whipped the corpse. What a miserable end!

The biggest contributor among them is the censors represented by the Censorate and Ke Dao. Since Chenghua, they have almost dominated the court. No big shot dares to ignore it. They are the sharpest swords, invincible and invincible, even the emperor is afraid of three points.

Sun Chengzong was silent. He thought that Emperor Wanli had been hiding in the deep palace for more than 20 years and had not come out. He was also because of the censor's siege. Even if his last wish was made, he had made King Fu the crown prince.

Sun Chengzong looked up at Sun Chuanting and said lightly: "Can you shut up those congressmen?"

Sun Chuanting frowned and said in a slight manner, "Our cabinet has many policies that require the approval of these members of the parliament and cannot put too much pressure on them. Moreover, these people have close ties with Nanzhili, so it is not easy to shut up."

Since Zhang Juzheng, there has been no cabinet minister who can suppress the entire dynasty. Everyone has tried their best to maintain it, without enough prestige, and so is Bi Ziyan. He lacks prestige and cannot suppress the situation.

"How long will it take to solve the case in Yangzhou Prefecture?" Fu Changzong asked. This matter was ultimately caused by the case. As long as the case was solved, it would be a waste of money and other things could be dealt with calmly.

King Jing shook his head and said, "You have read the report of the Supervisor's Office of the CPC. This matter is not that simple. It will take a moment to solve the case."

Sun Chengzong looked cold and pondered: "Everyone outside is okay, they can always suppress it, and it will not hinder the overall situation. The key is the parliament. If they continue to make trouble, they will only become more and more trouble, and it will be difficult to deal with it later. I think I still have to ask the emperor to say something."

The only thing that can make everyone shut up in the entire Ming Dynasty is Zhu Xu, the emperor who is now with the queen in Yunwu Mountain.

Everyone understood that there were many people inside and outside the government and outside who were dissatisfied with the "New Policy". At this time, if they were actually attacking the cabinet under the banner of severe punishment of Yangzhou Prefecture, and the sound of a huge blow, they would really have to make an explanation. Bi Ziyan's resignation seemed to be right in front of them.

What a skillful approach, what a familiar result.

Fu Changzong thought for a while and turned to Sun Chuanting and said, "Baigu, you have to go to Yunwu Mountain for this matter. The emperor doesn't know when he will come back, but the parliament must be calm. They cannot become new censors, otherwise the 'new policy' will collapse halfway."

Sun Chuanting understood the seriousness of the matter, nodded and stood up, "Okay, I'll go now, Master Bi Ge comforted him. Never let him make mistakes. You must be extra cautious at this time."

According to convention, with such a huge impeachment, the impeached person will either write a letter to defend himself or take the initiative to "recruit the disease". No matter which one is, it will be the beginning of returning home, and you must not do it.

Sun Chengzong and others nodded and said, "The Emperor has never really experienced party struggles. Baigu. When you say it, you must let the Emperor understand the seriousness of this matter."

The National Parliament is a special structure that holds the right to review and refute cabinet government affairs, which is even more terrifying than the previous six disciplines of refuting imperial edicts. If they become another discipline and become censors, it will be even more terrifying, and it will be chilling to think about it.

Sun Chuanting nodded and said, "Well, I understand, I'll go now. I'll talk more. What the court has to do now is unity and forbearance. Never say more or take more steps, otherwise it will be the only one who is a real person, making it harder for me to have a place to move."

Sun Chengzong and others nodded silently. This incident caught them off guard and made the entire Ming Dynasty's "New Deal" pause. Everyone in the world was watching the actions of the court. At this time, they could only use static to control their movements. If they were strongly suppressed, they would lose the legitimacy of the "New Deal" and the consequences would be disastrous.

The ‘New Deal’ must be completely correct, unique and irrefutable. Don’t say that it loses its legitimacy, even if it is discussed, otherwise it will fall into the quagmire of debate and be difficult to get out of it.

Sun Chengzong and others nodded and watched Sun Chuanting leave the palace.

When Sun Chuanting left, Sun Chengzong turned to look at Prince Jing and said, "The Governor Yuan still has to do something."

With the actions of the Governor's Office in the first half of the year, the sense of existence gradually became prominent, the power was continuously deepening its operation, and its influence on the local area continued to increase. King Jing also became more and more majestic. Listening to Sun Chengzong's words, he said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."

Sun Chengzong nodded and looked back at Bi Ziyan's class room. It was quiet and there was a cold and cold air that would not enter the stranger.

Sun Chengzong sighed in his heart, he was helpless in this matter.

The party struggles in the Ming Dynasty have a profound background and cannot be resolved overnight.

Wangxue is a breakthrough in Confucianism. Since Jiajing, all the world is Wang Mingyang's disciples. Various schools of thought have been one after another, fighting endlessly, and then spread to the court. It can be said that the beginning of the party struggle was a debate on knowledge. Xu Jie, Gao Gong and even Zhang Juzheng, including Ye Xianggao and Zhao Nanxing, were all scholars, who wrote books and then wanted to implement their concept of governing the country.

‘No wonder the emperor would say such a cruel saying as changing his thoughts first and then changing people, and changing his head without changing his thoughts…’

Sun Chengzong looked silent and sighed in his heart. He knew that Zhu Xu could see farther than the others and was preparing early. Whether it was the Strategy Department, the Qingfeng Department, the Fourth and Five Halls, the Outline of the Education and Science, etc., it was all to cleanse the decadent trend of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, the congressmen on the second floor are now inexplicably excited and running around and cheering.

"Brother Chen, your words "Your ministers from the foreign court are taken into consideration by the tiger and wolf, and you are in a mess, just like black ink" is really good!"

"I still like Brother Li's saying, 'National affairs are as thick as thick, foreign ministers are as sugar, national affairs are as soup, foreign ministers are as spoons, national affairs are as difficult as spoons, national affairs are as lucky as foreign ministers', which is really meaningful and endless..."

"Haha, it's easy to say, so be polite. By the way, Ying Tian just wrote to me the same year, saying that the imperial envoys were mostly enjoying themselves in the government office and did not leave the house, and he has not checked the reason yet..."

"As soon as I heard about it, the whole Jiangzuo was infuriated, but the government, the imperial envoy was indifferent, and he was drunk and dreamed of death all day long, and he had no use at all. What is the use of the court to raise these people..."

"The upper and lower effects are the lower ones. If the court remains unchanged, we should still try our best to change those outsiders. My colleagues, we must not relax!"

"Yes, many people from Shandong have sent me letters. More than 30 of them plan to jointly report the matter and thoroughly investigate the matter and never let it go as weak as possible to prevent such incidents from happening again!"

"Okay, there are more than twenty in Shanxi. I have asked them to send the memorials here. Two days later, they will be sent to the Silijian together. The emperor will not take long to return to Beijing. I will see how long the cabinet can hold it back!"

"Even if the emperor protects the memorials, we must make some statements. If we put in a little effort, we will make a big change in the six cabinet departments!"

Now the relationship between the six ministries in the cabinet is very complicated. No matter which movement, it will definitely shock the entire officialdom. This is a Dogunuo card. If one is knocked down, it will fall down one after another, and no one can stop it.

Yunwu Mountain is just outside the capital, not far away. Sun Chuanting arrived and talked a lot with Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu had heard some things, but from Sun Chuanting's mouth, things seemed to be different.

Zhu Xu sat on the chair, looked at Sun Chuanting, and said, "Is it really that serious?"

Sun Chuanting also had ups and downs in the Tianqi Dynasty. He knew the terrible party struggles and said with a solemn expression: "I did not add fuel to the fire, and based on the facts. Gao Xinzheng was determined to reform, but in the dynasty for seven or eight years, the cabinet was arguing. What could have been done in one day was considered a good thing, and it was a matter of ten or half a month. He quarreled in the cabinet, quarreled in the court, the court was quarreling, the local government was quarreling, and the state affairs were decadent, which began. The National Parliament was extraordinary. If they became new censors and fought with the cabinet and the six ministries, the consequences would be unimaginable. If there were any ambitious people who helped fuel the fire and sought a high position, the great situation that the emperor had worked hard for many years would be defeated in a short time..."

Sun Chuanting was very serious in every word.

Gao Xinzheng, also known as Gao Gong, laid an excellent foundation for reform for Zhang Juzheng and was a very capable chief assistant.

Zhu Xu read more than once the historical records of the Ming Dynasty and various records. Naturally, he knew that the prime ministers since Jiajing were listening to Sun Chuanting's words calmly.

He and Sun Chuanting actually have completely different views on this matter. In his opinion, the parliament has not yet understood its own authority, what should be done and how to operate it. He wants to show his presence when he gets the opportunity. In addition, he has been "bullied" by the cabinet for a long time and has accumulated resentment. If he has such an opportunity, he naturally has to vent it.

But Sun Chuanting does not think so. The State Council has the right to review and refute the Cabinet’s policies and decrees. If this institution quarrels with the Cabinet, the consequences will be terrible.

If they become censors and lead the direction of scholars in the world, who is their opponent? If someone is interested in using and controlling them, their power will instantly surpass the prime minister, or even the prime minister, and threatening the country is no problem!

The cabinet or civil servant will never allow such a situation to occur.

Zhu Xu thought in his heart, and when Sun Chuanting finished speaking, he said with a slight look on his head, "I understand what you mean. Do you want me to suppress those members of parliament and not allow them to write a letter to impeach?"

Sun Chuanting looked at Zhu Xu and said solemnly: "Yes. This matter is on the surface of the case of Yangzhou Prefecture, but in fact it is aimed at the 'new policy'. From nothing to something, Bi Ge Lao did it himself. If he leaves, no one can take on the big responsibility, and the 'new policy' is likely to die in the middle."

Zhu Xu picked up the tea beside him and began to ponder.

His purpose is to establish a complete, modern and advanced system. This system already has a model, but it is too advanced. He can pull it out. Now there are very few people who can understand and understand its operating model. What he can do is to maintain this system, let it mature slowly, and walk ahead of the world, and ensure its advancedness.

When Sun Chuanting saw Zhu Xu pondering, he felt quite nervous.

He has studied the powers and duties of the National Parliament. In his opinion, this institution is a combination of grand discussions and censors, in order to prevent the cabinet from becoming bigger and to ensure the transcendent status of imperial power.

No matter how the cabinet and the national parliament fight, the referee is the emperor. This should be a method specially designed by the party struggles in all dynasties that scared the head of the position.

Similarly, for the emperor, the battle between the National Parliament and the Cabinet had no effect on him and should not favor either side.

Therefore, although Sun Chuanting has already made some specific statements, he is still worried.

Zhu Xu didn't ask him to wait for long, and the tea cover in his hand was groping for water. After a while, he said, "I asked the liexi supervisor to pass an order and tell these members that they have no right to write a letter to impeach..."

Sun Chuanting was overjoyed, but Zhu Xu's words immediately changed his expression; "But the National Assembly has the power to supervise, which has the right to ask the cabinet or specific officials of the six ministries to explain, explain, record it, and report it clearly. In addition, three years later, the National Assembly will be further expanded, with the number of people to be around 15. A four-year discussion will be held, and the heads of the six ministries will vote for confidence. If there are no more than half, they will be dismissed immediately and will not return..."

Sun Chuanting listened, his face gradually became solemn. After Zhu Xu finished speaking, he thought carefully and pondered, and suddenly said, "Your Majesty, I don't know who is in charge of the parliament?"

Zhu Xu's mouth moved slightly, but Sun Chuanting was smart and immediately caught the core of this matter.

Zhu Xu deliberately paused for a moment and said, "For the emergence of members of parliament, the cabinet must carefully formulate a detailed charter. One third of the election every three years can be re-elected once. As for the speaker, the chief minister will be nominated by me, and I will approve it. Once appointed, it will not be replaced for three years."

Sun Chuanting listened to Zhu Xu's words and pondered them carefully.

The current emergence of the parliamentarians is that three people are elected by each province, which are basically controlled by the governor's yamen. The process is simple and rough, and there are no rules. Re-electing, this is irrelevant. The first four auxiliary ministers are the left and right second auxiliary, the third governor, the third governor, and the fourth Dali Temple Wang Qiaonian. These four positions are customized, and the fifth are random.

After thinking about it, Sun Chuanting breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, I understand."

Zhu Xu knew that he had to teach the rules of the game slowly, so he was not in a hurry. He took a sip of tea and said, "The queen just gave birth to a prince. She is weak and cannot return to the palace in time. I will not go back to the forefront. I will hide for a few days and be cool. Government affairs, your cabinet will do it."

"I obey the order." Sun Chuanting stood up and raised his hand and said.

Zhu Xu sent Sun Chuanting out of the yard and watched him go down the mountain. He stood there, blowing the wind, and was not in a hurry to move.

At this time, Xiao Yongning came over, holding a willow branch in his hand, pouting boredly, and said, "Uncle Emperor, can't the hunting time be longer?"

Zhu Xu glanced at her, too lazy to pay attention to her.

The hunting lasted ten days and was over. If nothing unexpected happened, Li Dingguo won the first place and immediately demanded that he hoped to follow Cao Wenzhao's first royal army to fight and quell the rebellion everywhere.

Sun Chengzong has already made it clear, and Li Dingguo has set out yesterday.

Zhu Xu could not tell whether the little girl was in love or she just thought Li Dingguo was a good playmate, so she didn't interfere too much.

Seeing that Zhu Xu ignored her, the little girl turned around in depressed mood.
