Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 312 Death Remonstrance
"What?"

Liang Kun went out first, looked at the servant and said.

"Steward Liang, Yang Shoufu is here and wants to see the master."

said the servant in a low voice.

"Yang Shoufu is here?"

Liang Kun was very surprised. It was already late at night, and there might be a curfew in two hours. What was Yang Shoufu Guola doing?
However, Yang Shoufu must have come here at this time to avoid people's eyes and ears, and had important matters to discuss with his master.

"Did Yang Shoufu come from the back door?"

"Well, I think it's Yang Shoufu, let him come in first, and wait in the living room now."

"Good! Well done!"

Liang Kun praised the servant.

"What are you still standing there for? Go back quickly and see what else Yang Shoufu needs, and go and serve him!"

Seeing that the stupid servant didn't understand, Liang Kun reprimanded him impatiently, turned around and went into the room to report to Liang Chu.

"Damn it, old turtle one (meaning digging)!"

The servant sipped hard on the ground.

This guy will coax them to do things, and every time he says rewards, he doesn't say a word, and the money that the master rewards them goes into this guy's pocket.

Without even drying his hair, Liang Chu trotted all the way to the reception room.

"Jeff!"

Liang Chu took a breath and looked at Yang Tinghe who was sitting on the chair and came forward to say hello.

"Zhonghou, you... you don't know what to do again, right? You said you are not young anymore, so you don't know how to pay attention!"

Yang Tinghe looked at Liang Chu speechlessly.

When he came out, he was still a little hesitant, but now seeing Liang Chu's abnormally flushed face, he quickly made up his mind.

"Jiefu, just tell me what's the matter?"

Liang Chu was a little embarrassed, he originally wanted to persuade Yang Tinghe to "keep in good health" like himself, but he was uninterested, stubborn and meaningless.

I am older than him, and there are more wrinkles on his face than myself.

Liang Chu couldn't help feeling a little proud.

"The emperor is bound to travel south this time!"

Yang Tinghe said directly.

"How can that work? He can go to the Northwest Patrol, but the South Patrol is absolutely not!"

Liang Chu immediately said excitedly.

He has a lot of industries in the south, and many of his supporters are big families in the south. If Zhu Houzhao travels south, not only will his years of hard work be over, but he himself will be hiccupping.

"Jiefu, you have to think of a way, and you can't let him do whatever you want, otherwise we will all..."

"Uncle Hou, you have to do it yourself this time!"

Yang Tinghe patted Liang Chu on the shoulder.

Liang Chu trembled, almost meandering to the ground.

Yang Tinghe sighed, those who harvest yin and supplement yang every day are all crooked, and they are still so vulnerable when they encounter some things.

……

On the second day, Huang Gong, Lu Zhen and others from the Imperial Academy turned to Zhu Houzhao, saying that the current political crisis in the court and the hardships of the people, Zhu Houzhao, as the king of a country, should not only care about his own enjoyment and idleness, but should be diligent in state affairs.

There were two people who took the lead, and soon the climax of the ministers' admonitions came. Officials from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Punishment also successively issued admonitions, admonishing the southern tour.

Xia Liangsheng, a member of the Ministry of Officials, Wan Chao, the head of the Ministry of Rites, and Chen Jiuchuan, a doctor of Taichang, also jointly signed a collective letter, saying bluntly:

Jiang Zhun is not the only disaster in the southeast; the worries in the northwest are near the hub of the chariot." In this dangerous situation, the emperor is going to make a tour of the south. Our courtiers really "don't know where to die"!

This is a blatant threat of death!

Zhu Houzhao's blue veins burst out. Despite Jiang Bin and others' repeated persuasion, they had expected that the ministers would strongly oppose it. After all, what they were going to inspect was some people's lair, so how could they agree.

When Qin Shao was about to leave, he euphemistically told Jiang Bin that now is not the best time to go to Jiangnan, so we can wait until later.

Jiang Bin knew that Zhu Houzhao was estranged from Qin Shao now, so he didn't dare to directly say that it was Qin Shao's suggestion, but only expressed his own thoughts, but it could not change Zhu Houzhao's eager thoughts at all.

Jiang Bin can only inform Zhu Houzhao of possible situations, hoping that he will be prepared.

But Zhu Houzhao has been oppressed by these people for too long, and he is already burning with anger. How can he endure these people adding fuel to the fire?
Zhu Houzhao directly ordered Huang Gong, Lu Zhen, Xia Liangsheng, Wan Chao and other leaders to be handed over to the Zhen Fusi for severe punishment;

As for Zhang Yanrui, Jiang Long, Lu Feng and other [-] people, who made insulting remarks and offended themselves, they were directly punished to kneel for five days.

However, in order to prevent these scholars from being weak, and to give them a chance to die and become famous, it is ordered that four hours a day, and after the five-day period expires, they will obey.

Yang Ting and the others had expected this situation.

This former young emperor had a bad temper and poor patience. What they wanted was for him to be furious and make mistakes, and then make a big fuss. The bigger the trouble, the better for them.

But in order to give some comfort to those in their early years.

The next day, Liang Chu, on behalf of the cabinet, interceded for the 110 nine officials, hoping that the emperor would let them go.

When Liang Chu arrived at the palace, this high-ranking veteran directly knelt down to the emperor in order to show that he sacrificed himself for those people.

Zhu Houzhao just looked at Liang Chu with a cold face.

Now that he saw this old guy, he couldn't express the anger in his heart, and he threw a cup in front of Liang Chu.

Liang Chu's old face was flushed, and he almost pouted.

He is a cabinet scholar, a highly respected veteran, and once served as the chief assistant of the cabinet, but now he is insulted by the emperor throwing a cup.

In such a situation, he might not have the face to hang out in court in the future.

In the end, Liang Chu was carried out by his servants asked by the internal officials.

The Liang Chu incident even aroused the fighting spirit of those civil servants.

Ten people including Zheng Zhouxu of Dali Temple wrote a letter again, arguing for the minister who was fined to kneel and imprisoned, and also complained for the old Liang Chu of Ge, feeling that the emperor mistreated the old minister.

Zhu Houzhao was even more annoyed, and directly ordered Zhou Xu and ten others to be thrown into the prison of Zhenfusi, and made them kneel for five days wearing torture tools.

Later, some officials occasionally wrote letters, and Zhu Houzhao directly asked them to join the ranks of being punished to kneel.

……

Hanlin Academy.

"Hey! Isn't this compiled by Zhang Cong and Zhang? You have already written a letter to persuade the emperor, why didn't you show up? This is not like your style!"

Xia Yan saw Zhang Cong, who was on duty, and laughed mockingly.

Now the court officials are basically in a state of strike, and many officials have gone to the emperor, or they have gone to silently protest.

Zhang Cong, who likes to show off, is still going up and down silently, which is getting more and more strange.

But Xia Yan was really puzzled.

Since Zhang Cong passed the Jinshi examination, his whole person has changed like another one.

Now that he is acting in a low-key manner, and seeing himself, he will not be able to pinch him, which makes Xia Yan very uncomfortable.

"Why should I persuade the emperor? The emperor's tour of the south is also to understand local political affairs and inspect the sufferings of the people. I am very supportive, but some people have ghosts and fears in their hearts! I am weak and cannot do my best for the emperor, let alone go You're holding back! It's you, why don't you join those people in admonishing them? If you win the name of a blunt and admonishing minister, you might even go down in history!"

Zhang Cong said calmly, and finally did not forget to say a few words to Xia Xia.

"I...why do I object to the emperor's going south? Our Xia family has nothing to do with us. We don't like fighting in the court, and we devote ourselves to learning. Naturally, we don't go into those muddy waters! It's you, you wrote the tabloid that helped the emperor earlier! Now the emperor is confronting all the officials, why don't you help? Could it be that the emperor doesn't want to use you?"

Xia Yan retorted, blushing.
