eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 126 I'll see who dares you today!
In this world, there is a thing called momentum.

It cannot be seen, grasped, and unpredictable, but it does exist.

Just like Zhu Yuanzhang, many people are already scared when they see it, oh, maybe it is not called momentum, but majesty.

In short, it is not to be offended.

In Zuoshunmen, there was one person, one chair, and one eunuch, Zhu Houzhao dared to face them like this, and this aura and composure made many of them feel nervous.

Zhu Houzhao's grasp of the joints is really clever. They are angry because of the large-scale mobilization of important officials. It can be explained as dissatisfaction with the imperial decree, although the deepest reason is that the prince is dismantling their power. Don't do it now It was too late.

Cheng Minzheng still remembered the hat that the crown prince gave him when he gave lectures in the Wenhua Palace.People like them are not afraid of death or loss of office, but they only cherish their own reputation, but the prince likes to hold on to this.

Three times, two times, three times, he couldn't help it!Dedicated to the country, even if you die today, you must speak out!

"Your Highness!" He got up abruptly, and stepped into the Zuoshun gate, "There is an old saying that what a ruler learns or doesn't learn is the order of the world, and what the prince learns or doesn't learn is the order of future chaos." You can know the importance of being a crown prince! However, Your Highness the Crown Prince neglects studies while governing ministers. How can this be a blessing for the court? A blessing for the common people?"

"Cheng Minzheng, you are bold!" Liu Jin was surprised that even a courtier Dangman said such wild words to the prince.

"You eunuch, how dare you criticize me!"

Zhu Houzhao sighed, probably because Cheng Minzheng was severely suppressed by him in Beijing, and he had been calculated by him in terms of reputation, and this time he was going to fight for a turnaround.

"Your Highness!" Cheng Minzheng still maintained the courtesy of a courtier, "Today, I am asking His Majesty to see you, and I also want to ask, where is Your Majesty now?"

"Father is in the palace."

"Then His Highness is sitting here to prevent the ministers from seeing you?"

Zhu Houzhao's face changed, this meant that he, the crown prince, had rebelled against him.

"Cheng Minzheng, who stopped you? I would like to ask, is there an imperial decree to summon any of your officials?! If there is, I will let you go. If not, you will not be called to see you. It's called breaking into the palace! You just said that the rulers of this palace are very important, and you, Cheng Minzheng, are also a scholar who has read poetry and books, so you say, this palace wants to punish the ministers who broke into the palace, what's wrong with that?!"

Cheng Minzheng let out a loud cry and howled, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty's next generation of benevolent and filial kings, my minister Cheng Minzheng and more than a hundred courtiers want to see him today but are not allowed. This is the misfortune of the country, the misfortune of the country!"

Zhu Houming understood, it seemed that they just didn't want to talk to the prince today, they were clamoring to see Emperor Hongzhi.This is also a lesson learned.

"Liu Jin,"

"The servant is here."

"You go to Qianqing Palace and report the matter here to your father. Please ask your father for an imperial decree. Call a few more people over,"

Liu Jin naturally took the order and left.

Zhu Houzhao said to the ministers again: "Are you satisfied with this?!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince." Ma Wensheng and Wu Kuan didn't say anything else, and seemed to feel much better in their hearts.

Not long after, the eunuch called by Liu Jin also arrived, and they all knelt behind Zhu Houzhao.

The crown prince pointed to Cheng Minzheng lightly, "Catch him."

"Yes."

"Your Highness!" All the ministers exclaimed for a while, and Wu Kuan immediately said: "Your Highness! Cheng Minzheng is a gentleman for a while, and he is loyal to the country. Why does Your Highness lightly speak of punishment?"

Zhu Houzhao said plainly: "Cheng Minzheng lost his temper. How can he be a gentleman? He cried and said that more than a hundred courtiers wanted to see the Holy Majesty but could not. This is despising and slandering this palace. When has this palace prevented you from meeting your father?" You are so embarrassing? Cheng Minzheng, tell yourself, why did you suddenly yell, saying that you want to see the Holy One but you can't?"

Cheng Minzheng felt his throat was dry. In the situation just now, they couldn't move forward. Didn't the crown prince say that they didn't have the emperor's imperial decree?
But you can't say that the crown prince just prevented you from entering. Firstly, you did not have an imperial decree, and secondly, the crown prince did not say that you are not allowed to enter today.

Of course, it was also his fault that he was sitting here, and everyone dared not pass by easily.That can't be helped, people dare to sit here.

One here, you keep yelling and yelling, but you dare not move.

Thinking of this, Cheng Minzheng felt that he could not win the debate with the crown prince, so he simply broke the can, "His Royal Highness wants to punish the crime of the minister! The minister has nothing to say! But the loyalty of the minister is a lesson from the sun!"

"You all heard it," Zhu Houzhao turned to Wu Kuan, "Mr. Wu, you heard it too. Cheng Minzheng dared to say anything that offended me before, but now I ask him to defend himself, but he has nothing to say. Nothing to say ...It’s not that Bengong doesn’t let him talk about it.”

Cheng Minzheng vomited blood!Damn, no matter what, there are backhands for everything!
This is called being polite.

This group of people just refuses to accept the power, and now Zhu Houzhao is using the power for a reason, and shut up all the mouths!
"Take it down! Hand it over to the Ministry of Punishments for discussing the crime of slandering the East Palace for treason!"

Ma Wensheng and Wu Kuan's heart trembled, this damn crime was serious.

"Your Highness!" Da Sima was highly respected and had no choice but to speak at this time, "When did Cheng Shilang slander His Highness for treason?"

"Did Sima bully me because I didn't read enough books? Since ancient times, powerful ministers would prevent monarchs and ministers from meeting each other. He, Cheng Minzheng, got up angrily just now, and asked the palace to stop the ministers from seeing each other. His words were still ringing in his ears. Da Sima and the ministers would not Have you forgotten?"

After saying this, Zhu Houzhao's eyes were stern, and he looked at the eunuch beside him, "What are you still doing?! Take it down!"

"Yes!" These people had never seen this scene before, and when they were scolded by the prince, their voices trembled a little.

So he quickly dragged Cheng Minzheng away,
This guy is still chanting 'Your Majesty', 'Your Majesty' along the way!
When these eunuchs leave,
This Zuoshun Gate, Zhu Houzhao was the only one left on this side of the Forbidden City.Opposite him were more than a hundred people kneeling down, Cheng Minzheng's arrest made them even more angry.

But at this time, the prince just sat like this, and they didn't dare to make any movements.

"Who else loves Chen Zou?"

Although the prince is small, those people are kneeling, so there is a kind of condescension on the contrary.The words carried the majesty of having just sent Cheng Minzheng to prison.

No one dared to answer his words.

In fact, it is not. The main one dared to respond, and felt that... he could not open his mouth again to give the prince a chance.Cheng Minzheng had nothing to say, and he was charged with the crime.

Of course, this kind of thought cannot be written. It is passed down in the harem, or left in the history books. It is said that no one dares to answer the prince's question.

After a while, Liu Jin came over with the imperial decree,
Ma Wensheng and Wu Kuan watched eagerly.

However, Liu Jin only focused on the prince until the prince said 'read'.

Only then did he unfold the imperial decree, "Following the heavenly order of the emperor, it is said: I have been in the imperial court for eleven years, and I am worthy of Xi's luck. I only work hard to govern and handle government affairs. I dare not be a little bit light-hearted. I want to rule the world and live up to the emperor's promise." Trust. The ministers who have been transferred today have heard that Ma Wensheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Wu Kuan, Cheng Minzheng, Minister of Rites, etc. have shut down their doors and Fuque, and they are all very good. I am only lacking in the amount of tolerance? Not yet. I have withdrawn my orders, and all officials will return to their original posts. You will scatter and pledge your allegiance to state affairs without delay! Qin Zai!"

One thought of this decree,
The crowd all whispered, why is this?They were indeed indignant because the crown prince transferred core officials such as Wu Kuan and Zhou Jing, but the ultimate goal was not to transfer the official positions back!

Zhu Houzhao sneered, why not?That's it!
You guys are discussing behind your back how to deal a blow to me, the crown prince, so I will act first and transfer some important people, such as Wu Kuan and Zhou Jing, away.

The transfer of important ministers was discussed by the emperor in the Hongzhi Dynasty, but not this time.So when the imperial decree came out, the ministers would have two ideas: First, the prince should not be allowed to succeed like this.Second, it means that the prince is also afraid, otherwise he would not have the idea of ​​sending him away.

In this way, there will naturally be scenes where all the ministers cry and remonstrate,
But at this time, what if the emperor has a decree to take it back?
The emperor takes pity on you group of important ministers, and it is said that you are a virtuous monarch who has heard advice. Since ancient times, Jinkou has been opened, and how many have been withdrawn?The emperor did this for you!

Really, is this too much or not?

Excessive!

So if they just retreat, there will be an uproar in the government and the public afterwards. Since ancient times, power has been exercised at the top. Even if the emperor's transfer is a little sudden this time, why are you ministers who say you are loyal to the emperor, and you are indignant because of this imperial decree? , and then go to persecute the emperor?

This kind of thing is like forcing the palace, what is the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers? !

So if you step back, you will be criticized continuously, until you bear the name of a tough minister and your reputation is ruined!Still a loyal minister, loyal asshole!

Can you not return it?
break in?No, the crown prince is just sitting there, and if one hair is missing, they will commit a great crime of exterminating the nine clans.

It seems that the only option left is to continue crying?
But the crown prince had already exploded. After hearing the imperial decree, he was suddenly filled with anger, and asked extremely severely: "You claim to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, but since ancient times, have any ministers persecuted the emperor to this end? Spread the word, father!" Where is the majesty of the king and the majesty of the court?! Now you gentlemen, you are worried about your own reputation, you are afraid of the consequences after retreating, and you still don’t understand your father and want to make trouble here! What exactly do you want? Is the surname Zhu no longer in the world?"

Wu Kuan clenched his palms so tightly that his fingers were embedded in the flesh, but it was his heart that really hurt.

All of this is the crown prince's game. Everything they have done today not only did not let the court situation out of the prince's control, but because they had these 'disloyal' ministers as enemies, more people gathered in the palace. By the prince's side.

What was the result of the fight?
Not only the official position can't be kept, but even the reputation can't be kept.

Ma Wensheng and Wu Kuan could figure this out.

But there are more than 100 people here, and they can have the consciousness of Ma and Wu everywhere, or they are not as old as these two people. The political life of those two old men is over, and they go home to retire. More people, they still have expectations!
The most important thing is that without wd's organizational ability, the ideological work has not reached that level, so the gathering is naturally for 'righteousness', but also for 'benefit'.

At this moment of life and death, you, the leader, want to retreat?When you entered the rivers and lakes, you said that you wash your hands in the golden basin, so you wash your hands in the golden basin?Do not make jokes.

After retreating, you important ministers can still go to Hongzhi to plead for mercy, what should we do if we speak lightly?
Therefore, at this time, we can only coerce the important ministers together and push them up. In addition, the law does not blame the public, and there may be a little chance.

"Your Majesty misunderstood what we meant, how could we be rebellious officials and thieves who did not obey the imperial decree?! We want to see Your Majesty! We want to see Your Majesty!"

"Where is the holy driver? Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Please have a good time!"

In the originally quiet group, someone from the back suddenly started to take the lead in shouting, and many of them were already worried about the consequences of retreating, so they naturally became emotional when they were surrounded by this.
"We want to see His Majesty!" Several officials began to speak out, but they couldn't stop.

And pushing from the back to the front actually squeezed the important ministers in front into Zuoshunmen.

The crowd was excited, and Liu Jin, who was originally relaxed, suddenly became nervous, "Ma Wensheng, Wu Kuan, what are you doing?! Breaking into the palace?!"

"It's been 50 years since the imperial court supported scholars, and it's today's day of death!!" When such provocative words were uttered, it seemed that the emotions... really couldn't be controlled!

Zhu Houzhao also saw that they were a little dizzy. People are not purely rational animals. He led me, and I stimulated him, as if encouraging each other, adding courage to emotions.

He immediately climbed onto the chair, pointed at this group of courtiers who were already red-eyed, "I'll see who dares you today!"

That momentum is really like the king's presence in the world!
