eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 127: Court Rod!

"All of this is His Highness's bureau."

Liu, Li, and Xie in the cabinet can all see clearly when the matter has reached such a level.

When Wu Kuan, Ma Wensheng and others started to get together and talk every day, this situation started.

Why is it said that the emperor and the prince have the upper hand in the struggle between monarchy and subject power?
Because at this time, the prince can take the initiative to choose to transfer those of you who conspired together.

If you don't make a sound, fine, today you will transfer Wu Kuan, tomorrow you will transfer Ma Wensheng, and the next day you will transfer Zhou Jing... If this continues, all important officials will leave Beijing, so what are you afraid of?
But if you speak out, it will be the same result today.

The crown prince gave them the title of disloyalty as "dissatisfied with the emperor's order" by an imperial decree.

In the end, the imperial decree was abolished, and the emperor withdrew it again. How would the people of the world think of this gang of troublemakers?
Not to mention the righteousness of the monarch and ministers in my heart, but just to create political speculation for myself and show that I am more loyal to the monarch, then I have to follow up and beat the dog in the water!

So, all of this is a conspiracy.

Even if the three cabinet ministers looked it up afterwards, it was hard to imagine for a while that there was any way to crack it.

Oh, yes, there is another trick, which is to resign collectively.

However, what the crown prince is attacking is not the position, but the 'name'. Many people want the name of the 'direct minister' when they resign, and what they want is the emperor's words of 'how can you abandon me, sir'?

In the current political ecology, resignation is actually a means to force the emperor to agree to himself or to wash away his stigma, not an end.

"Ge Lao! It's not good, there is a collision at the Zuo Shun gate."

The faces of the three elders changed drastically when they heard this, "Are they crazy?!"

……

……

Liu Jin also thought this way, he really never imagined that he could see such a scene in his life!
These important officials of the imperial court are said to be Jinshi who have been on the imperial list, but now some are cursing, some are crying, some are pushing and shoving each other...how can they look like a literati?

This group of people was in a daze, Wu Kuan, Ma Wensheng and others who were a little bit more rational were also old men with no strength, so they had to be coerced and rushed into Zuoshunmen.

From Zhu Houzhao's perspective, in fact, everyone has entered Zuoshunmen.

The closest one has basically rushed in front of him, and it was Liu Jin who stood in front of him: "The traitor! The traitor! Get out of the way. If anyone bumps into His Highness today, you will all die!"

"Let's see who dares today!" Zhu Houzhao stood on a chair and pointed directly at these people, "My surname is Zhu, and my first name is Houzhao! He is the only son of the Holy Majesty! He is the blood of Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizong Wen." I have the name of the crown prince of Ming Dynasty on my head! I now order you in the name of the crown prince, all of you kneel down to me!"

His high-pitched voice was the result of his yelling, but more than 100 people were making noise, not everyone could hear it, and the front one was slightly better.

"Your Highness! Why did you stop us from meeting His Majesty?!"

Someone in the crowd made such a voice, so anxious that Wu Kuan used all his breastfeeding strength and shouted: "Everyone, don't squeeze, this is the East Palace! It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!!"

"His Royal Highness shouldn't stop me from waiting to see His Majesty!!"

Crazy, crazy, dare to say anything now.

"Liu Jin!"

"The slave is here, the slave is here!" Liu Jin straightened her messy hair and stood beside Zhu Houzhao,
But Zhu Houzhao pushed him away, "Don't block me here! Let me see who dares not kneel at this time! Ma Wensheng, Wu Kuan, Zhou Jing, are you kneeling or not?!"

The three of them were clear-headed, no matter how angry they were, they couldn't rush the prince, so they naturally knelt down.

In this way, someone in front took the lead, and the prince was so imposing, it was impossible to say that he was not afraid at all, so some knelt down, some didn't, but they calmed down a little. Although it was still a little noisy, at least the prince The speech was heard by all.

"Liu Jin!"

"The servant is here!"

"Xuan Jinyiwei, come here!"

"Yes!"

Then Zhu Houzhao got down from the chair, stepped forward and kicked the minister who had rushed past his chair, "Damn it! Go back and kneel! Don't even think about who I am? Even if it is me Gong made a mistake, is this the way you talk to Prince Daming?!"

"Your Highness!" Da Situ Ma Wensheng was also in a hurry at this time, so the nature had completely changed. "Just now, the officials were so angry that they lost their minds. The hundred and ten people coerced each other, and they did not collide intentionally!"

"You tell me now that you didn't mean it? It's too late!" Zhu Houzhao pinched his waist and looked around, "I'm standing here now, aren't you angry? Who else has dissatisfaction, come to me!"

Liu Jin went and came quickly, mainly because some people in the palace had heard that there was movement here, so they were all on standby nearby.

In a blink of an eye, he came with people,
"Quick! Quick! Protect Your Highness!"

huh huh,
The sound of weapons and armor colliding with each other, and the sound was getting closer and closer until the prince was surrounded inside.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

"Get out of the way!" Zhu Houzhao is small, with such a surrounding, he can't see anything, "I don't need your protection. Without you, I will face them alone. How dare this gang of rebellious officials offend me?" Palace? Let them have ten guts to see if they dare or not! Come on!"

"Chen is here!"

Flying fish suit, embroidered spring knife, emperor's pro-army, special envoy of imperial power!

Zhu Houzhao finally waited for this moment,

It's justifiable to fight!
Don't think I can only move my mouth!

I didn't fight in the past, but I didn't have enough reasons!

today?

"Catch them all! Fifty court rods each! Wu Kuan!"

Old man Wu's heart is ashamed now, his lips are trembling, and the white hair on his head is a little messy, "The criminal is here."

"You are Ben Gong's teacher. Respecting teachers is the principle from ancient times. Since Hongzhi ten years ago, you have had many disputes with Ben Gong before the king. Which time did Ben Gong care about you? Which time did you have a backstory? Revenge on you? However, in the light of today's incident, you can say for yourself whether this imperial staff should be punished or not!"

It is very difficult for Wu Kuan to answer this question. The main reason is that more than 100 people here were beaten with fifty sticks. I don’t know how many ministers died here, and the source of all this is him. He really can’t afford this crime.

So he couldn't answer the answer, he said it was the answer, and this group of people was beaten in vain, and they would never be able to stand up again.

Should I say no?
Ha ha,

An eunuch like Liu Jin who has never read a sage's book is in a hurry, and he is also excited now, "Wu Kuan! Your Highness the Crown Prince is asking you something! Your Highness the Crown Prince is already in danger in the situation just now, and you will not say a word about the Crown Prince?" Your Highness shouldn’t be punished, right?”

"Your Highness, this servant thinks that this group of people are rogue officials and thieves. They broke into the palace gate and offended His Highness. Such a serious crime, but fifty court rods are cheap for them. They should be imprisoned and executed!"

Wu Kuan was hard to say, he took off his official hat, touched his head to the ground, and cried with tears: "I lost my composure for a while and offended Your Highness, and I deserve death. Your Highness, please give me my death!"

"Sometimes you die!" Zhu Houzhao waved to the people behind him again, "If no one falls, they will all be beaten! From now on, let's see who dares!"

All of a sudden, more than 100 people were lying on the ground, because there were too many people who needed to be executed and there were not enough manpower, so some officials were waiting in line to be beaten.

The lucky ones got the board first, and they were already howling.

The sound of 'Ah, ah, ah' seems to be able to reach eighteen miles away.

Listening to these people howling, Liu Jin felt a little more at ease, and said to Zhu Houzhao with concern: "Your Highness, I really scared the slaves to death just now! From now on, I will never dare to risk myself like this again!"

Zhu Houzhao squinted his eyes, I don't want to take any risks, how can I fight with Hongzhi's character?If I don't take a little risk, how can I make them the targets of crusade?

at the same time,

The three elders, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, began to appear in sight. They trotted while shouting, "Please forgive me, Your Highness."

Liu Jin reminded, "Your Highness, Mr. Li Ge and Mr. Xie Ge are here, and they are shouting,"

Zhu Houzhao focused on the sticks that went up and down, "The screams were too miserable, and the voices were too noisy. I couldn't hear what they were shouting."
