Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 64

Seizing the gate, this naturally refers to the incident of seizing the gate when the courtiers helped the Yingzong restore, and what was seized was the Fengtian Gate in front of us.

When the courtiers took advantage of Daizong's illness, Xu Youzhen, the deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, came forward, and with the assistance of eunuchs Cao Jixiang and Shi Heng, finally completed a coup without bloodshed.

Now that Zhu Youtang is publicly thrown out, it naturally means that the courtiers will follow the example of Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang and others in the past, confine him, the emperor Zhu Youtang, and support Xingwang Zhu Youtang instead.

Although Xing Wang Zhu Youtang does not have the legitimacy of Yingzong's throne, he is indeed the first heir after Zhu Youtang. Combined with the abolition of the reserve that Wynn and others advocated, there is still room for maneuver here .

Zhu Youtang is now throwing out the accusation of "seizing the door" against the officials, which can be said to have directly exposed Wang Zha, and directly put the yellow level [-] alert on himself, the emperor.

It is said that the wardrobe prince has no political sense, but at the moment the courtiers' brains are buzzing.

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of seizing the door, so please be careful!" Liu Ji knelt down and said when he saw that the situation was completely out of control.

Ni Yue knew that this was his last political performance, no matter it was because of his reputation or the grievances accumulated in his stomach, he still refused to give in and said: "Xing Wang is talented, intelligent, humble and studious. The banquet is not as far away as King Xing!"

At this time, stop talking!

The courtiers, who were about to persuade Zhu Youtang not to label him indiscriminately, heard that Ni Yue was still criticizing, but he mentioned King Xing again, and suddenly looked at the two hundred and five with complicated eyes.

"King Xing is wise, I am a faint king, some of your civil servants probably like an emperor like King Xing, right? It's just that you are too hasty, I haven't fallen ill yet, and I'm still sitting in Fengtian Gate today, where are my loyal ministers and good generals?" What Zhu Youtang wanted was to stir things up, even if he used the topic to show his authenticity.

"The minister is here!"

As soon as the words fell, the civil and military officials present responded one after another.

"Whoever dares to snatch the door, first pass the hurdle of the country's public!"

"That's right! Whoever colludes inside and outside to commit treasonous things, let's talk about it after passing this hurdle!"

"All of you civil servants should be punished, no matter how wise King Xing is, His Majesty is now the Son of Heaven!"

……

Zhang Mao, the British public who was fined just now, was the first to jump out, and the other nobles saw the hope of political speculation, and Dang even responded one after another.

Although they don't quite believe that civil servants dare to seize the door, if the arrogance of civil servants can be suppressed, then it will be the day of their martial arts.

As for the truth, does it matter?

These civil servants have been playing tricks and tricks all the time. They want His Majesty to guard against foreign relatives and nobles and royal relatives, and even always respect that internal officials should not interfere in politics. They just want to take control of the government by themselves.

"Someone intends to seize the door, escort!" Liu Jin also left Ni Yue, and ran back to Fengtianmen in panic and ordered.

A group of Jin Yiwei and powerful eunuchs appeared on the stage one after another, and they also stood in front of Zhu Youtang as if facing an enemy, and resolutely regarded the civil and military officials in the field as imaginary enemies.

This……

Seeing this posture, Ni Yue finally realized that things were a little different, but it was clearly that Zhu Youtang was making a fuss out of a molehill, and he wanted to take the opportunity to resolve their civil servants' teaming up to force the palace.

"I have absolutely no intention of seizing the door, Your Majesty, please look into it!"

Xu Pu was very troubled by Ni Yue's remarks, and the most important thing now was not the Jingyan, but to explain clearly the accusation of seizing the door, which was to be submissive to Zhu Youtang.

"Ni Yue, who is your accomplice?" Zhu Youtang naturally wanted to take the opportunity to make a big fuss, and immediately questioned Ni Yue.

Ni Yue had already been caught by two guards in Jinyi, and he took it for granted when he heard the words: "If it's about the opening of the scriptures feast, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are the accomplices of the ministers!"

"Your Majesty, this subject is not Ni Yue's party!"

"Your Majesty, Ni Yue squirts blood, and this minister is not his accomplice!"

"Your Majesty, the subject of the banquet is a matter of my own concern, and I am not in a conspiracy with Ni Yue. Please be aware of it!"

……

Even the civil and military officials present dared not accept even the "Jingyan Fellow Party", but now Ni Yue is like a person suffering from the plague, but they have drawn a clear line of demarcation.

"Is it the same party in the Manchu Dynasty? If I don't agree to re-open the sutra banquet today, I will be a king who is not worthy of virtue. This dragon chair should be seated by King Xing, right?" Mingzhe saw it, and asked jokingly.

Liu Ji knew that the re-opening of the Sutra Banquet could no longer be persecuted, so he immediately stated clearly: "I have no such intention!"

"Is it true? You use the reason that the former emperor abolished the crown prince, and it is foolish and senseless for me not to agree to re-open the sutra banquet today, so you can justifiably support King Xing and seize the door!" Zhu Youzhang seemed Having seen through their conspiracy, he told the story of the planning process of seizing the door.

Some officials heard what Zhu Youtang said, and found that "the first emperor abolished the crown prince" and "supported the establishment of the Xingwang" could really be linked together, and they couldn't help but wondered: Could it be that someone really wants to seize the door?
"Your Majesty, there must be a traitor in the matter of abolishing the reserve. I have never heard that the late emperor had such thoughts back then!"

"Your Majesty, I have never heard of it. Your Majesty was so filial and lenient back then, how could the late Emperor be so thoughtful!"

"Your Majesty, the matter of abolishing the reserve must have been fabricated by a villain. I beg the Ministry of Punishment to investigate it, so as to crush the villain's conspiracy!"

……

Some of the civil servants present found that the crux of the problem was the "abandoned reserve of the former emperor". If this confusion could be clarified, Zhu Youtang's hat of seizing the door would be eliminated, so they all stood up and expressed their opinions.

After all, they cannot benefit from the "protection of storage", and the "abandoned storage" of the year was indeed only heard, and there may even be rumors made by someone.

British Duke Zhang Mao and other nobles knew that the fire could not burn themselves, so they stood silently watching the show.

"This matter is so strange. Since the matter of abolishing the reserve is groundless, why did Ni Yue still speak with certainty? Ni Yue, you said that the first emperor wanted to abolish the reserve back then, but fortunately he protected Huai En to protect the positions of the kings. Did you see it with your own eyes?" Zhu Youtang looked at Ni Yue and asked when he saw that the matter had turned around.

Please stop talking nonsense!
The officials present had just experienced twists and turns again and again, and the commander who won the goal was all thanks to the two hundred and five, so they all turned their heads to look at the pig teammate and begged.

Ni Yue didn't talk nonsense this time, but he replied with his head held high: "I didn't see it with my own eyes!"

"Then I've heard about this matter. I don't know who you heard it from? Don't tell me it's just anecdotal information. If you dare to fool me like this, I will kill you now!" Zhu Youtang naturally knew that Ni Yue was impossible. After seeing it with his own eyes, he gave a warning.

The officials present also began to recall, and many officials found that the matter of the waste storage turned out to be a chat after dinner, and the whole matter had no real source at all.

Ni Yue thought for a moment, and then revealed the truth: "I heard about this matter from Huang Jing, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites!"

Hearing this, the officials present couldn't help but look at Huang Jing, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites who had always been very low-key, with pity, not wanting to be involved in this turmoil.

"Huang Shilang, you said that the late emperor wanted to abolish me, but did you see it with your own eyes?" Zhu Youtang naturally wanted to continue to trace the source, so he asked the team of officials from the Ministry of Rites.

Huang Jing greeted Ni Yue's mother in his heart, and immediately went out and said: "Your Majesty, I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I heard it from others, so I just mentioned this to Ni Yue that day!"

"Who is this person?" Zhu Youtang asked with great interest when he found that all the officials were terrified.

The officials present who had no contact with Huang Jing knew that Huang Jing, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, was about to die, but they all wondered who the next unlucky person would be?

Zhou Hongmo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, noticed that Huang Jing was looking at him, and he greeted Huang Jing's mother strongly in his heart, so he took the initiative to stand out and said: "Your Majesty, I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I just said something to Huang Jing when I was drinking that day, and I don't want to miss him." Are you going to take this seriously?"

The officials present found that he was worthy of the Minister of Rites, and his speaking level was obviously higher than that of Huang Jing, but it seemed that he could not change his unlucky fate.

Xu Pu secretly looked at Zhou Hongmo, but gave him a stern look.

Facing Zhu Youtang's questioning, Zhou Hongmo responded bravely: "Report to Your Majesty, this person is Xie Yikui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry!"

All the officials turned their heads to look at the team of the Ministry of Industry, only to see that the leader was not Xie Yikui but Jia Jun, and then remembered that Xie Yikui had retired.
