Chapter 140 I Object (Second)
The Hall of Supreme Harmony was built in the 18th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty and is called Fengtian Hall.

At this time, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, civil and military officials gathered together.Some of these people were excited, some lamented, some were taciturn, with different expressions.

Under normal circumstances, court meetings are held in the Qianqing Palace.The gathering of ministers in the Hall of Supreme Harmony was obviously not for ordinary court meetings.

Today, if nothing unexpected happens, it will be the abdication ceremony.

Zhu ignored wanting to be emperor, although he could directly kill the emperor and ascend to the throne.

However, if the name is not right and the word is not right, it is equivalent to a traitor and a traitor. Regardless of whether the people of the world are willing or not, the vassal kings of Ming Dynasty will never agree.

At that time, the vassal kings from all walks of life rebelled, but instead became the army of justice.There will be trouble.

Only by letting the emperor take the initiative to abdicate can he inherit the throne in a legitimate way, leaving the world speechless.

Not long after, the emperor walked in with the support of the little eunuch.

At this time, the emperor was pale and emaciated beyond recognition in a short period of time.At this time, he is only at the age of the weak crown, but even his hair has turned gray a lot. One can imagine how much this matter will hit him!

Looking at the civil and military people in the court, all the officials lowered their heads as far as their eyes could see, and none of them dared to face him.

The emperor sighed faintly, his heart was full of sorrow, this great country will belong to others from tomorrow onwards.

At this time, outside the door, a loud pass:
The god of iron courage is here!
Zhu Wushi, dressed in military uniform, strode in.

In an instant, the lobby was emptied, and all the ministers surrounded it.

Seeing this, a trace of anger flashed in the emperor's eyes, as well as unspeakable sadness.Almost screaming in my heart: Do you think I'm dead?

At the court meeting, the God of Tiedan came later than the emperor, and he walked up to the palace with his sword, and he was not famous for his praises. His wolfish ambitions have not been concealed at all.

"The emperor is here!"

The emperor regained his composure, waved his hands and said lightly: "Let's play if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do!"

But how could it be all right?

Immediately, someone jumped out and said: "There has been a severe drought in the south for years, and there is a sky fire in Shanxi, and the reappearance of Ying Huo Xing, it must be the country's loss of morality, and the heavens have brought great disasters to Daming!"

Hearing this, a trace of anger suddenly flashed in the emperor's eyes.Besides the emperor, who can represent the country?The country is immoral, doesn't it mean that Sang scolded Huai and said that he, the emperor, is immoral?

The man didn't seem to see the emperor's face, and continued to say to himself: "The son of heaven is young, he was bullied by traitors, cholera exceeded the standard, and he killed the ministers. If this continues, the country will be ruined!"

The anger in the emperor's eyes became more and more fierce, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Although I have made mistakes, the sage said that knowing the mistakes can be corrected, and there is nothing good about it. I would like to issue an edict to sin against myself..."

Under normal circumstances, everyone in the world can admit mistakes, but the emperor cannot.Only when there is a problem in the imperial court, the country suffers from natural disasters, and the regime is in danger, the emperor wins the trust of his ministers by admitting his mistakes.It can be seen that the emperor still wanted to try his best to restore the decline.

However, someone immediately interrupted and said: "The first teacher Dong Zhongshu said that although there is a king who follows the body and keeps the text, it will not harm the sage. The Ming Dynasty is after Yao and Shun, and there is a fortune to pass on the country. Who should the Ming emperor send to the world? Ask for sages, Zen As the emperor, retreat and designate yourself Baili, such as Yin and Zhou Queen, in order to obey the destiny."

What this means is that we are all descendants of Yao and Shun, and there has been a tradition of abdication since the time of Yao and Shun. Although you are a good emperor, you should give up the throne to someone more capable, and then you should seal yourself a hundred miles Be an idle prince.

These words are already Chi Guoguo forcing the emperor to abdicate.

Although it had been expected, but I did not expect that the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty could not wait to jump out and shout for Zhu Wushi. The emperor couldn't help laughing angrily, and said: "I have dozens of Ming princes and hundreds of county kings. Who are you to talk about?" Am I more qualified to be emperor?"

As he said that, he looked directly at Zhu Wushi in the audience.

Zhu Wushi lowered his eyebrows, making it hard for people to see what was going on in his heart.

One person said loudly: "Hou Zhu, the god of iron courage, is unparalleled, benevolent and righteous, both civil and military, and for the country and the people, he can be the supreme!"

The emperor recognized this person, his name was Fang Haoran, he was the minister of the Ministry of Rites, he had tried to kill Cao Zhengchun many times, but he didn't want to be the first one to jump out and shout for Zhu Wushi.He also seems to be a superficial gentleman.

"Your Majesty, please don't miss the emperor's throne. Zen is located in Shenhou, and it is a blessing for all people!"

The ministers were agitated and shouted one after another.

What's more, he directly shouted such outrageous words as "Please abdicate, Your Majesty".

But who's going to pursue this now?Everyone wanted to step on the emperor's face a few times in order to please Zhu Wu, the future supreme being.

On the dragon chair, the emperor's face was pale, and the flames in his eyes were beating. These ministers in front of him shouted loyalty to the emperor and patriotism one by one on weekdays, and died after devoting themselves to death.But now they are shouting for the rebels.In contrast, the one who was most loyal to him, and the one who was truly ready to die, was actually Cao Zhengchun, who was scolded by everyone as a eunuch and a disaster for the country.How ironic.

Things have come to this point, it is already powerless.The emperor bowed his head and sighed, waved his hands, let them go.

The Minister of Rites was overjoyed, and immediately said loudly:
"Today's emperor, deeply aware of the lack of talent and virtue, decided to place Zen in Zhu Wushi. Do you have any objections?"

At this time, how could anyone object?

The emperor gritted his teeth and shouted in his heart, but he couldn't say those words.

The three palaces and six courtyards, the empress dowagers and concubines all fell into the hands of Zhu Wushi. As long as the emperor dared to say "no", his head would immediately roll.

"Do people in the world have any objections?" the Minister of Rites asked again.

This is called three questions, and you need to ask three times.Later, when the abdication ceremony was held, three abdications and three resignations were required. In the end, Zhu Wushi ascended the throne again, saying that it was not that he wanted to be emperor, but that he really couldn't refuse.

Immediately, there was the last question: "Zhu ignores his ascension to the throne, is there any objection?"

There was no sound in the hall, but the atmosphere was not depressing, and everyone had smiles on their faces.

From everyone's point of view, there is no accident, and I just need to wait for Zhu to ignore the enthronement reward and share the merits of Conglong.

In the corner, some eunuchs were whispering to each other, already asking whether the future emperor would like to drink Longjing or Pu'er.

The emperor sighed in his heart, his hands hang down feebly, the person is not dead, his heart is almost going cold.

At this moment, a white figure walked into the hall unhurriedly.

The visitor was too young, dressed in ordinary white clothes, he looked like a schoolboy, not surprising at all.

However, the moment he walked in, he was like a bright star, attracting everyone's attention.

"Why is he here!"

Zhu Wushi's gaze shrank suddenly, and the officials were even more frightened and trembling.

It was Ye Jun who came.

He took it easy, walked up to the Minister of Rites step by step, and said indifferently: "Is it you who asked if there was any objection?"

"I object!" The voice was not loud, but it exploded like thunder on the ground.

Minister of the Ministry of Rites was terrified, "thump thump" retreated a few steps, and sat down on the ground.

"I'm against it too!"

"We are all against it!"

Figures poured in one after another, none other than Shangguan Haitang, Jia Tantou, Lu Xiaochuan, Princess Yunluo and others.

Cheng Shifei spread his hands and said helplessly: "They all object, so I have no choice but to object!"
