The development of the situation was as Zhu Yunwen expected, and before he got up, there were already hundreds of officials kneeling outside the noon gate begging for mercy.

Led by the Three Pavilions, all the Beijing officials in Beijing and most of the students of the Hanlin Academy arrived.

"Who didn't come?"

Coming out of the four intertwined lotus arms, Zhu Yunwen asked about double happiness while getting dressed.

"Yang Shiqi, Xie Jin, Jing Qing and more than a dozen Hanlin scholars, these were all from the Zhan Mansion in the early years."

"Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng also came to intercede?"

"Yes."

"What are you talking about?"

Shuangxi stood up, "They said that Zheng Yi's son, Zheng Yue, was young and vigorous, and drunk and frivolous, so he made such a mistake, Zheng Yi is a father, and there is no way to teach his son, so he should be guilty of the same crime, but he should not be full of trouble, please read Zheng Yi's merits for the people in the past few years, and forgive one or two." ”

Seeing Zhu Yunwen getting dressed, Shuangxi hurriedly stepped forward to put on a cloak, "It's windy outside, be careful of catching a cold." ”

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand, "Who said I was going to see them?" ”

Yes?

Shuangxi was a little confused, all the officials were kneeling outside the noon gate, and the emperor was gone?

"Let them kneel for a few hours."

Zhu Yunwen smiled, "The fact that they can come to intercede shows that they still have some backbone." didn't sell Zheng Yi's family to curry favor with me, the emperor, I had to give them this opportunity to show their righteousness, the longer they knelt and spread the word, when the folk history was written in the future, it would also be able to save some face on their faces. ”

Do these officials really want to force the emperor's palace with this matter?

Not necessarily.

Emperor Taizu's Yu Wei is still there, they have only come out of the bloody terror for two years, and they are actually not so bold to fight the emperor in the ring.

And Zhu Yunwen has always been very good to them, lenient in government affairs, and does not build a big prison, this kind of emperor is simply a long drought and a rain for this group of civil officials.

It's just that they don't have a choice in this matter.

In the matter of sacrificing Kong, they pushed Zheng Yi out as the captain of the death team, and now the incident is over? Most of the sage books may teach rotten Confucians who are conformist and rigid in their thinking, but the sage books can never teach a coward who is once boneless.

Whether it is for their own face, or not to discredit the holy master Confucius, the higher the official position, the more they must stand up at this time to intercede with Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, as for the depressed Hanlin students at the bottom, they may hope that Zhu Yunwen will dismiss all these people, so that they can have a bright future, but that is just a thought.

They will still be coerced into participating in this plea. Whether they want to or not, if they don't, they will be the fingers of thousands of people in the future.

They are not like Yang Shiqi and Xie Jin, this group of more than a dozen people is determined to be Zhu Yunwen's diehard loyalist, and they have already drawn a clear position, and no one will say anything about them.

Where can they rebel at this time, who still supported Zheng Yi and supported the ritual of sacrificing Confucius? If you want to change your position, you have to wait for this matter to pass, right?

Now there is no shame in the rebellion, and Zhu Yunwen also looks down on them.

As soon as Zhu Yunwen relaxed last night, his brain became much lighter, and he naturally had a way to deal with it.

The purpose of their intercession is nothing more than to make a reputation, and they don't really want to play with themselves, so give them this reputation.

Let them kneel for a few hours first, and when they are tired and hungry, they will pretend to fall asleep on the ground and pretend to be dizzy.

Huh? Zheng Yi's family has been cut off their heads, and they can only look up to the sky to mourn under the boat, Zheng Gong, I'm sorry for you. It's all to blame for the emperor's mediocrity and refusal to summon him, so that we have no way to plead.

At this time, it is time for the smart person to resign.

Zhu Yunwen refused first.

They asked again, Zhu Yunwen had no choice but to take a step back, bury Zheng Yi, rehabilitate the charge of rebellion, and finish the matter with a nice name.

In this way, Zheng Yi's family is dead, the emperor's anger is also dispersed, the ministers are also good-looking, the monarchs and ministers hypocritically take a step back and compromise with each other, and the hundred officials also have the face to continue to stay in the court as officials.

In terms of political affairs, everyone should do more and give each other a step, and if you can come down, don't hold it back.

"Unless they have iron heads, they have to kneel down and die, and they will not let me get off this stage."

Zhu Yunwen snorted coldly, "It's easy to live a comfortable life for two years, I don't believe they are willing to let go." ”

In the later period of Hongwu, the day of being an official was precarious, how could he have the energy to govern, and he went to work all day long, thinking about whether he could survive until he got off work. Now that the day has changed, the political atmosphere has instantly relaxed a lot, and they have gradually begun to taste the delicious taste of power, how can there be so many saints!

Zhu Yunwen's guess was not wrong at all, there were a large number of people outside the noon gate, and many of the older ones had begun to crumble.

When they knelt down when they were on their knees, they didn't drink water and eat in the middle, and some of the low blood sugar really couldn't hold it, so they simply went to the ground with this strength and began to pretend to be dizzy.

Kneeling at the head of this large group of people, who else is worthy besides Sange?

"Almost."

Yu Xin felt that his knees were rotten, and he pretended to be dizzy if he had the heart, but his shaky body was supported by Tyrant Zhao on the side.

Don't look at the old man's age, he kneels more than Yu Xin, "We are cabinet ministers, kneel more." ”

Fang Xiaoru was annoyed when he heard this, "Are you guys engaging in political showmanship?" The lives of Lord Zheng Yi's family are about to be guillotined! ”

Okay, let's plead together, and feel that you, as the initiator, are you here to go through the motions?

"Your Majesty is the lord, and you haven't summoned us until now, so we have no way to plead. In the future, on the case of Zheng Yi in the history books, he will only say bad things about His Majesty, isn't this okay? ”

The old god of Tyranny Zhao said, "If Your Majesty really summons us, I will ask you, when the time comes, I will have no way to retreat, so I can only tear my face with Your Majesty to the end." ”

"Old Tyrant, you are greedy for life and afraid of death!"

Fang Xiaoru was angry and scolded angrily in a low voice, "The so-called loyal and forgiving gentleman should have backbone, how can he regret his body because he is afraid of death?" ”

"Snort."

Tyrant Zhao smiled contemptuously, "Afraid of death? Is the old man still afraid of death when he is nearly sixty years old? Old Fang Ge, why is Your Majesty putting up with us, why are we forcing the palace, Your Majesty is still trying to find a way to give us the stairs? He refused to see the ministers, and he was not pleaded for, and in the future, the death of Zheng Yi's family, dirty water would be poured on His Majesty's head, saying that His Majesty was bent on doing his own thing, cruel and domineering, not that we were courtiers who did not pay attention to morality.

What is Your Majesty doing this for? In order to prevent us from resigning from our official positions and to prevent political affairs from being empty, do you have to force Your Majesty to raise the butcher's knife and lose both? ”

Fang Xiaoru's eyes widened, "You already knew before you came, Your Majesty would definitely not summon us?" ”

"In the past two years, Your Majesty has cut the feudal domain and conquered the southwest, which incident have you seen that caused an uproar?"

Yu Xin said indifferently, "The wisdom of our Son of Heaven is deep." ”

Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, thinks about how to ensure the stable development of national politics in everything he does, and does not let the court return to the chaos of the last years of Hongwu, now the whole world is thriving, and the national strength is thriving, or it will not be long before it will be a magnificent and prosperous era, compared to the lives of more than 60 million people in the world, there is only a little face, Zhu Yunwen doesn't care at all.

"The arrival of a saint is a great blessing for the minister!"

Yu Xin looked at Fang Xiaoru with a smile, "Li Shimin is for the reputation of a virtuous monarch, no matter how Wei Zheng contradicts him, he never scruples to be the face of the emperor, so that there are wise ministers who are bold and straightforward, with the rule of Zhenguan, the Tang Dynasty, forget it, the old man may not be able to listen to it, the old man is tired." ”

After speaking, Yu Xin looked up to the sky and wailed, "Your Majesty, Lord Zheng can't kill him!" This is a virtuous minister! ”

After speaking, he was so angry that he fell to the ground and fainted.

"Yu Ge Lao!"

Many ministers behind Yu Xin hurriedly shouted, crying bitterly, and after a while, another batch fell.

Fang Xiaoru looked stupid.

You guys are so fake, aren't they?

There are also many people who secretly pick on Fang Xiaoru's thumbs up, "Look at the old Fang Ge, this is called wisdom." Kneeling down is still straight and straight, and the longer I kneel, the better my reputation is, and I am really a model for my generation to learn. ”

Storm Zhao was about to follow closely when he heard a slight sound of horses' hooves coming from behind him.

Turn back and look at Hongwu Gate.

"Eight hundred miles expedited! Southwest Victory! ”
