Ming Dynasty: At the beginning, the house was ransacked and the ancestral temple was burned down.

Chapter 56 Your Majesty, you are so obedient!
  The ministers continued to output very steadily, and the 'big principles' they had prepared all night finally came into use at this moment, and naturally they used all their tricks.

This group of officials of the Ming Dynasty who were not afraid of death seemed to have forgotten that the person standing in front of them was the emperor with divine power, the real dragon emperor who could give orders at any time to make their lives worse than death!

Have these ministers really forgotten?

No, it is precisely because they are remembering it all the time that they have to do this even more!
  When they sing loudly, they are fighting for scholars all over the world, or in other words, they are actually just fighting for their respective gentry family networks.

They want to use this so-called "not afraid of death" spirit to "force" their aloof king to become what scholars call a "sage lord and sage king"!
  Zhu Yijun was dumbfounded. He stared blankly at this group of courtiers who had no king or father. In his more than 20 years of life, he had never been so isolated and helpless as at this moment.

These ministers sounded nice and they were all thinking about him as the emperor. In fact, Zhu Yijun knew very well that these ministers just wanted him to be an obedient puppet emperor.

Just like his ancestor, Emperor Xiaozong Zhu Youtang.

No matter how many and dense the words of the ministers are, they will eventually come to an end. Naturally, the last person to 'close the door' can only be Chief Assistant Shen Shixing.

This time, Shen Shixing did not make a lot of high-sounding words like before. He simply said:

"Your Majesty, as the chief minister of the cabinet, I ask you to follow the example of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty in accepting wise words. You can accept the care and advice of the officials and give up on internal affairs!"

Shen Shixing's position was obvious. This time, he chose to side with the officials. As the chief minister of the cabinet and the leader of the ministers, he could only choose this way.

Otherwise, he may become the next Zhang Cong, Yan Song, and Zhang Juzheng!
  At this time, Zhu Yijun was retreating all the way back to his dragon chair. He didn't know that there was no way behind him. His hind legs were caught by the dragon chair and he sat down heavily on his butt.

Zhu Yijun just sat back on his dragon chair, but he was unable to retreat.

The ministers all knelt on the ground and did not dare to raise their heads. No one knew what the emperor was doing at this moment, and no one knew what the emperor's expression would be at this moment.

Of course, they didn't care about this. All they cared about was the emperor's final reply to them. As for whether the emperor was happy or angry, they didn't care.

After all, they are not even afraid of death.

Time passed by, and after an unknown amount of time, the emperor on the dragon throne finally spoke.

"That's all...just follow what you said..."

Zhu Yijun's voice was not loud, and his tone was extremely helpless. However, it was such a feeble answer that made all the ministers kneeling below excited!

As if they had discussed it in advance, these ministers bowed neatly and chanted in unison:
  "Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

These four words were meant to be complimentary, but when they fell into Zhu Yijun's ears, they were filled with ridicule. What he heard was not "Your Majesty, Your Majesty", but - "Your Majesty, you are so obedient."

The aloof emperor finally compromised with his ministers, and Zhu Yijun gave up the internal affairs that he had devoted two years of hard work to.

At this moment, the young emperor whose "dream was blocked" felt extremely tired. He just wanted to hide in the palace and calm down.

However, escaping was useless, Zhu Yijun didn't even have a chance to escape, because his ministers still had things to do.

The censor Jiang Dongzhi was the first to stand up and said: "Your Majesty, I have my own intention to report."

Zhu Yijun closed his eyes impatiently. At this moment, he didn't want to hear anything these ministers had to say, but he was the emperor and he had to listen.

"Accurate performance." After receiving the emperor's permission, Jiang Dongzhi began his performance. However, the content of this memorial made Zhu Yijun's heart even colder.

That's right, the content of Jiang Dongzhi's memorial was to passionately impeach Zhu Yijun's only biological brother, King Zhu Yili of Lu.

"Your Majesty, the original intention of searching the Zhang family was to expose the true face of the illegal ministers, but in order to resolve the matter as soon as possible, His Highness Prince Lu actually took such a childish move! In this way, the original intention of the search changed from exposing to Make money!

Moreover, Ren Xunxun is an official of the imperial court and the censor who patrols hunting on behalf of the sky. What he represents outside is your Majesty’s face! Such an important minister died suddenly and mysteriously. His Royal Highness, Prince Lu, not only did not investigate in detail, but instead just found an excuse for being possessed by an evil spirit and ended the matter hastily!

Your Majesty, if those scholars who have studied hard for decades knew that the Ming Dynasty treated the ministers who served the court in this way, how do you think they would feel? After they heard about this, who would dare to take the imperial examination and become an official and serve the Ming Dynasty? "

After the impeachment of Jiangdong was over, other censors came out one after another like yes-men, saying:

"I second the proposal!"

For a time, voices of agreement resounded throughout the Huangji Palace.

Zhu Yijun felt his ears buzzing. For some reason, his mind was completely blank at this moment, so blank that he even started to think about some meaningless things.

For example - what bird has the nicest call?

With the successive "secondary opinions" of the ministers, Zhu Yijun recalled the various bird calls he had heard before. After thinking about it, he found that they seemed to be quite ordinary.

The chirping of birds is, after all, just the chirping of birds.

Just like these ministers, no matter how fanciful they are, in Zhu Yijun's ears it is actually no different from the chirping of a bird.

"So, what do you want?" Zhu Yijun looked at the ministers below and asked expressionlessly: "How do you want me to punish King Lu? Tell me."

The ministers didn't care at all, and some people actually came out to give their opinions.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Lu is your biological brother. He went to Jiangling this time to shoulder your holy will to check the Zhang family. Now His Highness King Lu is acting so recklessly. If you don't punish him severely, I'm afraid the world will think that His Royal Highness Prince Lu did that because of your order."

"Your Majesty, even if it is for the sake of your reputation, please think twice!"

"His Majesty……"

For a moment, the ministers seemed to be boiling again, and everyone said that they wanted Zhu Yijun to "severely punish" Zhu Yili.

Otherwise, all the "stupid things" Zhu Yili did would have been ordered by Zhu Yijun, the emperor.

Zhu Yijun suddenly understood that these people were not here for the stupid things his brother had done. In the final analysis, the ultimate goal was for him, the emperor!

After realizing it, the scene in front of him seemed to remind Zhu Yijun of something. He stood up again, turned around and walked towards the 'General Han' who was escorting him.

After walking up to a big Han general, Zhu Yijun reached out and pulled out the long knife from the opponent's waist without any hesitation!
