Comprehensive martial arts: Summon Li Chungang and ask Wu Zetian for advice

Chapter 24: In troubled times, heavy rules should be used, and serious illnesses should be treated with strong medicines

"Long Live Long Live Your Majesty!"

So no matter how frightened they were, they still knelt down and bowed.

Suddenly, the sound of kneeling and worshiping echoed throughout the hall.

"Everyone loves to be flat!"

Zhu Houzhao said with a solemn face and indifferently and calmly.

He was condescending, looking down at the civil and military officials of the dynasty, and a sense of pride and ambition arose spontaneously.

now.

He seemed to be standing on top of the world, holding the entire sky in his palms.

Regardless of whether these people surrender from their hearts or pretend to surrender.

But at this moment, she could only kneel at his feet.

This is the Son of Heaven,
This is the emperor.

This is the power of the emperor.

Below one person, above ten thousand people.

Every word and deed shows his majesty.

His words are the power of God and the will of God.

Zhu Houzhao enjoyed the awe in everyone's eyes.

This feeling of thousands of people kneeling down and worshiping is really amazing, and one can't help but get addicted to it.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, everyone dared to straighten up and looked at Zhu Houzhao on the dragon chair.

The eyes were either trembling, fearful, or doubtful, with different expressions.But no matter what, what happened in the court today had already exceeded their expectations.

The majesty exuded from Zhu Houzhao's behavior made their hearts tremble.

They all deeply understand that after today, the Ming Dynasty will probably change drastically.

The young emperor in front of them was something they did not dare to underestimate.

The awe of Zhu Houzhao in my heart also skyrocketed.

Zhu Houzhao looked around, his eyes suddenly turned cold and stern, and finally fell on Yan Song, whose temples were slightly white.

"what happened?"

Yan Song frowned suddenly, his heart was horrified and his face was gloomy.The cold and stern eyes gave him the illusion of a thorn in his back.

What does this little emperor mean?
Could it be that you want to use me as a chance to attack the Prime Minister? !
But before he could think clearly, Zhu Houzhao's ruthless voice fell.

"Are you my ministers or Yan Song's ministers?"

"Is this Ming Dynasty my world or Yan Song's world?"

Are you my servants or those of Yan Song? "

"Is this Ming Dynasty my world or Yan Song's world?"

Zhu Houzhao's extremely cold words reached everyone's ears clearly and echoed in the hall for a long time.

Zhu Houzhao's first words when he ascended the throne made all the civil and military officials in the dynasty completely stunned and confused.

now.

All of their eyes fell on Zhu Houzhao, who had an indifferent expression, and their hearts trembled.

what is this?
Your Majesty is going to take action against Yan Xiangguo?

No one expected that Zhu Houzhao's first fire after taking office would be on the powerful Yan Song.

And he is still so domineering and merciless.

It's even too reckless and overbearing.

Which of the other emperors who ascended the throne did not celebrate and grant amnesty to the whole world?

but.

In this situation, let alone amnesty, whether we can live peacefully is a question.

But when their eyes fell on the human cat again, they no longer felt that this was a reckless move.

After all, with such a big demon protecting him, he does have domineering strength.

What's more, Zhu Houzhao himself is the emperor, and his words are the constitution of heaven. So what if he is overbearing?
Yan Song, who was the first to bear the brunt, looked even more stunned. Immediately, a strong sense of fear welled up in his heart, and his whole body trembled.

"Your Majesty, please enlighten me!"

Yan Song's face was extremely frightened, and he immediately fell to his knees with a 'pop' sound. His expression was extremely sad, and he hurriedly cried out:
"Your Majesty is unjust. I have been loyal to Your Majesty for decades since I served as an official. I have never had the slightest intention of rebelliousness. I beg Your Majesty to take a closer look!"

Yan Song, whose temples were slightly white, hunched over and knelt on the ground, looked extremely sad, and his words were full of fear and grief that could not be concealed.

If you are an ordinary person who doesn't know the truth, you will definitely be deceived by Yan Song's superb acting skills and believe it to be true.

Resolutely admit it.

This is Yan Song's experience as an official for decades.

He never believed that surrendering to a person was something that was not shameful. It was only natural for the weak to surrender to the winner.

Although his face was pale, his whole body was trembling from time to time, and he acted extremely frightened.

But in fact, he was dismissive of what Zhu Houzhao did.

In his opinion, these are just three of the things Zhu Houzhao started to do when he took office, and they will never burn out for long. "The affairs of the court are so complicated, how could it be that you, a fledgling boy, could figure it out clearly?"

Yan Song is still alive and feels very calm, not worried at all about his situation.

Before, he had Cao Zhengchun suppressing him, but now that Cao Zhengchun is dead, he is the only one left in charge of the court.

How could he let a young boy fall on his head?
After all, who among the officials doesn’t want to be promoted and make a fortune?

Under his painstaking efforts over the years, the court has become a pool of stagnant water, and no one is clean.

Half of the people in this court are his disciples, and even if the rest are not his disciples, they still rely on his breath to survive.

Even above the local level, he has considerable strength.

Long before the court meeting started.

He relied on the handle he held in his hand to obtain the commitment of most people.

Today he is going to become the second Cao Zhengchun.

It can be said.

Without his nod of approval, Zhu Houzhao's decree would never have left the court and no one would have implemented it.

Zhu Houzhao is certainly the emperor, and the emperor's words cannot be disobeyed.

But he has many ways to do it both in disguise and in disguise.

If Zhu Houzhao really wants to make some political achievements, even if he is the emperor, he still needs to rely on him as the prime minister, and it also depends on whether he is in a good mood.

What's more, if Zhu Houzhao wants to get to the bottom of it, it won't be just him, but the entire Ming Dynasty.

Countless people will be implicated in the entire Ming Dynasty, and the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty will usher in a complete reshuffle, which is tantamount to a major earthquake.

Under the nest, how can there be any eggs?
When everyone is in danger, it may even cause a mutiny.

Not to mention that the Ming Dynasty's national power is now weak, and there are still other countries such as the Qin Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty watching from the outside.

If it were completely liquidated at this time, Ming Dynasty, which was suffering from internal and external troubles, would never be able to suffer such a blow.

Doing so will only speed up Ming's death.

Severe cases require strong medication.

But this powerful medicine may turn from a cure into a deadly poison.

Even though he is now in power, he does not have the courage to make this decision.

Not to mention such a young emperor who had just ascended the throne.

Zhu Houzhao doesn't have that ability, let alone that strength.

He did not believe that Zhu Houzhao would be willing to bear the infamy of ruining the Ming Dynasty's centuries-old foundation.

I don’t even believe that Zhu Houzhao has such great courage, and I don’t believe that Zhu Houzhao has the ability to bear the consequences of this.

If Zhu Houzhao was only targeting him, he would laugh even more heartily.

He has been able to stand in the officialdom for so many years because he is impeccable in his work.

As long as you can't catch him, even Zhu Houzhao, what can you do to him?

just.

While he overestimated himself, he also underestimated Zhu Houzhao's courage and Dongchang's intelligence capabilities.

Loading, still loading!
Seeing the frightened Yan Song, Zhu Houzhao sneered in his heart, his eyes were stern and extremely cold.

He had already expected that Yan Song would not plead guilty.

But what he wants to do today is to establish his authority.

Other emperors like to use imperial power and pay attention to mutual checks and balances.

But he is different.

He prefers to push everything with the general trend, unscrupulously and without any need to hide.

Such is his character.

What is an emperor?

That is to say, once a word is spoken, hundreds of officials will follow.

As a human being, you have to suffer the sorrows of the world. If you still care about this and that as an emperor, what's the point?
Arrogance and fearlessness are the true nature of an emperor.

This is his first visit to the court, and he must use bloody and tough methods to let them know the existence of his emperor and carry out the emperor's majesty.

Only in this way will these ministers stop thinking about right and wrong, and they will understand what kind of person Zhu Houzhao is.

today.

He just wants to set a benchmark for all officials.

Let them know what can be done, what should be done, and what is the bottom line that cannot be touched.

In troubled times, heavy prescriptions are used, and for serious illnesses, strong medicines are used.

Today, the Ming Dynasty is suffering from internal and external troubles, and the situation is extremely pessimistic. Only by carrying out reform and reform with great courage can the Ming Dynasty have a glimmer of hope.

He, Zhu Houzhao, has the courage and ability.

And if you want to establish your authority, Yan Song, who has all the power in the government and everyone, is the best choice.

Zhu Houzhao looked into the distance, his eyes suddenly sharp and ambitious.

His goal is no longer to survive the Ming Dynasty in the face of strife from other countries, but to unify the world by riding a horse across mountains and rivers.
