Chapter 88 What a big show [one more]

As a son of honor and honor, his natural attitude is against the civil servants. Seeing that the civil servants are unlucky, he clapped his hands and applauded.

Zhu Lin and Zhang Lun looked at each other, and Zhu Lin sighed softly: "I didn't expect Li Huan to be so courageous, but if he did this, it would be strange if the officials and the cabinet didn't blow up. It has torn his heart."

Guo Xun sneered and said: "What are you afraid of? After all, Jin Yiwei is also the emperor's pro-army. The impeachment of all officials belongs to the impeachment. It is up to His Majesty to decide whether to punish or not."

Speaking of which, Guo Xun glanced at a few people and said: "You said that the officials and the cabinet just pissed off His Majesty to death, and now Li Huan took down Luo Wenxiang and the others, and beat the cabinet and the cabinet hard. What will His Majesty think of the faces of all the officials?"

Chen Ru didn't even think about it and said: "Then needless to say, Li Huan is helping His Majesty, it's no wonder His Majesty is not happy!"

Guo Xun clapped his hands and praised: "That's right, so Li Huan is a smart man. Anyway, he has offended civil servants and officials, and everyone wants to kill him for the crime of treason. What else is there to be afraid of? Why not?" Taking the opportunity to ruthlessly disgust the cabinet, he let out a sigh of relief and gained authority, and more importantly, he could win the favor of the emperor and achieve multiple results with one stroke. This kind of thought and method is really admirable."

Zhu Lin smiled and said: "It's rare to have such a big show to watch, let's go, let's go quickly, I am somewhat looking forward to what expressions the officials and the cabinet will have when they get the news."

In the imperial palace and the imperial study, Zhu Houzhao had a cold face, while Gu Dayong and Zhang Yong stood aside, looking at Li Dongyang, the chief minister of the cabinet, with a smile that was not a smile.

Li Dongyang felt extremely bitter in his heart, he really missed the time of Emperor Hongzhi, when the emperor and ministers were in harmony, but Emperor Hongzhi almost never objected to their cabinet's suggestions and agreed to them.And he, the chief assistant of the cabinet, is also supported by all officials, so he has little trouble.

But since the former emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne, the cabinet and the new emperor gradually had disputes over many things, although with their seniority and the support of hundreds of officials, they were able to force the new emperor to back down every time.

Li Dongyang is not a fool either, how could he not know that the relationship between the monarch and his ministers will definitely cause trouble if it continues like this, but they are all for the sake of the great Ming Dynasty and the people of the world.

Why can't the emperor understand the painstaking efforts of these courtiers?

Of course, Li Dongyang also knows that the elders in the cabinet more or less have their own selfishness, just like Xie Qian and Liu Jian.

It is precisely because of this that he did not agree to persecute the emperor too much, but although he was the chief assistant of the cabinet, he could not disobey the will of the officials and the cabinet members, so he could only try his best to ease the relationship between the two sides.

Although Luo Wenxiang's impeachment of Li Huan was the cause of the current big court meeting, it only intensified the accumulated conflicts.

The emperor was so angry that he gave up and left. The cabinet insisted on Paul Wenxiang, and he, the chief minister of the cabinet, could only come to persuade the emperor.

All kinds of thoughts flashed through his mind, seeing that the Son of Heaven was expressionless and didn't even look at him, obviously still angry, Li Dongyang took a deep breath, and saluted Changji: "The old minister pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao just ignored and even turned sideways.

Seeing this, Li Dongyang stretched out his hand to lift up his red and purple robe, bowed respectfully to Zhu Houzhao, and said, "Your Majesty, Li Dongyang!"

Seeing the grey-haired Li Dongyang pay homage and kneel down on the ground in just a dozen or so breaths, Zhu Houzhao, who didn't want to pay attention to Li Dongyang, couldn't bear it. Get up and talk, don't hurt your body."

Li Dongyang felt ashamed in his heart, he knew that Zhu Houzhao's nature was pure and kind, and everyone said that a gentleman can be bullied, but just now the emperor ignored him in a fit of anger, so he knelt down and couldn't afford it, it was a small trick.

But no matter what, at least the emperor is willing to talk to him.

After sorting out his thoughts, Li Dongyang glanced at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers and others did not consider the matter of today's court meeting, but your Majesty should also consider why the cabinet and all officials reacted like that!"

Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly and said, "Why? Don't they just want Li Huanqing's family to die?"

Li Dongyang sighed softly and said: "Your Majesty, the officials will never allow Jin Yiwei's power to expand. Regardless of Li Huan's guilt or innocence, but with this, the officials will regard him as a deadly enemy..."

Zhu Houzhao suddenly laughed, looked at Li Dongyang while laughing and said: "If I remember correctly, the Jinyiwei is the son of the emperor's army, right? What does it have to do with all the officials? I want to reorganize the Jinyiwei, do I still need their consent? "

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Li Dongyang couldn't help but his complexion changed, his heart thumped, and he secretly thought that something was wrong. You must know that Zhu Houzhao had intentionally disturbed the Jinyiwei several times before, but they were all suppressed by the cabinet and hundreds of officials, and Zhu Houzhao did not see anything. There was no overreaction, and no such heavy words were said.

But this time, Zhu Houzhao's attitude made Li Dongyang feel bad.

Thinking of the cabinet ministers' attitude towards Jin Yiwei, Li Dongyang's headache became more and more serious. If he could not appease the emperor here, he would not be able to suppress it in the cabinet.

Glancing at Li Dongyang, Zhu Houzhao said forcefully: "Then Luo Wenxiang slandered officials out of thin air, and he is really not worthy of being a supervisory censor. How should we deal with it? The first assistant will come back and come up with an opinion with the elders. I am waiting for you." answer!"

After speaking, Zhu Houzhao said to Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong who were serving at the side: "Go out with me to relax."

When Li Dongyang came back to his senses, Zhu Houzhao had already left the imperial study. Li Dongyang opened his mouth, but swallowed the words again.

After the Great Court Meeting, all the cabinet elders returned to the cabinet to handle government affairs, but at the moment, the cabinet elders didn't have much mind to deal with government affairs.

It has been more than half an hour since the first assistant Li Dongyang went to the palace to see the emperor, and he doesn't know what the situation is now.

Xie Qian sat there with the presence of the old god, and while sipping tea, he smiled at the other elders and said, "Just don't worry, your Majesty is just a child with a temper. I believe Brother Bin will appease Your Majesty. .”

Liu Jian said with a serious expression on his face: "Your Majesty, don't worry, let's consider Li Huan's problem. If Li Huan can't be eliminated this time, His Majesty has tasted the sweetness, so he will act arbitrarily. will listen."

The faces of the elders of the pavilion changed. They are all people who have been in the ups and downs of the officialdom for decades. They know better than anyone else that the reason why they can dominate the court even the emperor is because the emperor is young. , the prestige is not enough, on the other hand, the emperor lacks a strong arm to help inside and outside the court.

Whether it is Dongchang or Jinyiwei, any power that swells up is a sharp sword hanging over the heads of all officials.
