When the courtiers saw that Zhu Cihong wanted to deal with this matter coldly, they couldn't sit still.

Did the emperor treat them as fools? This is simply a naked insult to them!

In the end, after a total of 136 officials, a total of 136 officials came to Zuo Shun to cry outside the door.

At this time, Zhu Cihong was listening to the lectures of the elders of the Great Confucian Pavilion in the Wenhua Palace, and heard the bad news just after class.

These civil officials are really vicious, where to cry is not good, but they chose Zuo Shunmen.

You must know that Zuo Shunmen is the only way to return to the palace.

It is impossible to bypass.

If Zhu Cihong wants to return to the palace, he must face these crying officials.

Zhu Cihong had never experienced this kind of thing before, but if you look at history, you will find that this kind of thing is not uncommon.

Looking at the history, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty can definitely rank first in terms of the ability to find unhappiness for the emperor.

If you don't agree with each other, you will make a blunt admonishment, and quote scriptures to spray the emperor's body.

The most famous is Hai Jui. This benevolent brother once gave Emperor Jiajing a lesson, and sprayed Emperor Jiajing into a once-in-a-lifetime faint monarch.

Emperor Jiajing hated the roots of his teeth and immediately ordered Hai Rui to be imprisoned.

But he knew that if he killed Hai Rui, he would only be happy for a while, but he would leave behind the infamy of a senseless and faint king. And Hai Jui will go down in history because of his death.

Such a loss-making deal, Emperor Jiajing, a smart person will naturally not do it.

Therefore, Emperor Jiajing only threw Hai Rui into prison and let him eat in prison, but did not kill him.

After Emperor Jiajing died, the successor Emperor Longqing immediately released Hai Rui. Hairun has also become the idol of all the ministers, although he has been in prison for a while, he really has no loss.

Of course, Hai Jui is by no means the beginning of a civil official's outspoken admonition, but this one is too harsh and famous.

At first, the civil officials may still rush to solve the problem, but over time they find that the emperor really has a problem. Most of the time, the emperor is quite reliable.

But they can't help but be blunt! It's a great opportunity to make a name for yourself.

So they become squirting for the sake of squirting and scolding for the sake of scolding.

The emperor was miserable, he didn't do anything out of the ordinary, but he was scolded in vain.

You said that you scolded lightly, but the scolding was so cruel and poisonous, which is really unacceptable.

Ordinary people have to scold back when they are scolded. The emperor is the Son of Heaven, so he is naturally different from ordinary people.

The emperor generally dealt with the courtiers who were outspoken.

Of course, it was not the emperor himself, but the general of Jinyi Wei Dahan did it for him.

Officials who offend Emperor Longwei will be pressed to the noon court staff.

The cane is a scientific name, but it actually means spanking.

Before Ming Wuzong, the court staff did not take off the clothes. Instead of removing the clothes, they also wrap a thick layer of felt around the buttocks and legs.

The purpose of this was, of course, to protect the courtiers. After all, the court staff is just to let the emperor vent a bad breath and teach these pedantic civil officials a lesson, and there is no need to cause death.

It is rare to beat people to death with a court rod before Ming Wuzong.

But when it came to Ming Wuzong, the atmosphere of the court staff changed greatly.

This has to mention the head of the Eight Tigers of the Zhengde Dynasty, the famous Liu Jin and Liu Gonggong.

Liu Jin's background is not good, otherwise he would not have entered the palace as a eunuch.

However, Liu Jin was lucky and was sent by Emperor Hongzhi to serve the crown prince in the East Palace.

Zhu Houzhao is the only son of Emperor Hongzhi, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that after the death of Emperor Hongzhi, the next son of heaven in the Ming Empire is Zhu Houzhao.

Of course, Liu Jin is also very aware of this, because he hugged Zhu Houzhao's thigh early, just waiting for Zhu Houzhao to ascend the throne, he can soar to the peak of his life.

And that's exactly what happened.

After Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, Liu Jin became the governor and eunuch of Dongchang.

Some civil officials looked at Liu Jin unpleasantly, and felt that this old eunuch was instigating the emperor to eat, drink and have fun all day long, which was really not a thing.

So they planned to write a joint letter to force the emperor to kill Liu Jin.

It's a pity that they underestimated Liu Jin's status in the eyes of Emperor Zhengde.

Emperor Zhengde did not make up his mind to kill Liu Jin in the end, but was fooled by Liu Jin and ordered Jinyi Wei to impeach Liu Jin's official court staff.

And the person in charge of the prison sentence is Liu Jin.

That's a big deal.

The enemy was very red when he saw him.

In order to retaliate, Liu Jin not only did not wrap the buttocks of these officials with felt, but also ordered someone to directly rip off their pants and beat the board with their bare buttocks.

In this way, the civil officials who are high-ranking on weekdays lose face, which is even more uncomfortable than killing them.

And in this way, the board is directly hit on the bare buttocks, the damage increases exponentially, and more and more people are killed.

Since Zhengde, there have been people who have been killed because of the court rod in almost every dynasty. It can be said that the contradictions between the emperor and the civil officials have become irreconcilable.

The king regards his ministers as grass mustard, and his ministers regard him as enemies.

Of course, there are reasons for the emperor, but the civil service also has a great responsibility.

After all, many people are just trying to sell their reputation and leave their name in history, and blindly sell straight and make blunt admonitions.

The emperor doesn't owe you anything, so when he can't bear it, he will naturally use violent means.

Zhu Cihong must make a choice now.

It is also unlucky for so many civil officials to block the palace gate and cry and shout non-stop.

They don't want to be ashamed, Zhu Cihong still has a face.

After some preliminary investigation, the people from Dongchang reported that the people who participated in Zuo Shunmen's crying were all Beijing officials below the fifth grade, and there were no important members of the cabinet of the big and small Jiuqing and the six ministries.

Zhu Cihong couldn't help but sneer.

Sure enough, it's a group of masters who don't want to die for Bo to be famous.

The real bigwigs know that there are a few things that must not be mixed indiscriminately.

First and second to none was the emperor's family affairs.

Let's take a look at the history, Wanli Lichu, Jiajing recognizes his father.

Which one was not earth-shattering, and in the end, the courtiers who made trouble were all severely roded, and many people were immediately killed by the rod.

But if you screen carefully, you will find that there are not too many high-level officials among them.

Because these high-grade officials are often old, have rich experience in officialdom and life, and know that this is the emperor's rebellion, and they must not be rebellious.

This kind of stupid thing to do is left to the stunned youths to do.

And this time, the civil servants went even further. They are tantamount to directly scolding Zhu Cihong for being unfilial, which is more damning than the rhetoric of scolding Jiajing and Wanli.

If Zhu Cihong endures this time, there will be more civil officials who kick their noses in the face in the future.

He could not bear it.

These people want to become famous by stepping on me? It's so young!

Zhu Cihong immediately issued an order to Jinyiwei, ordering him to arrest all the civil officials who were crying outside Zuo Shun Gate and take them to the noon gate to execute the court staff.

Since these people are looking for death, then Zhu Cihong will fulfill them.

The authority of the Son of Heaven must not be challenged by civil officials in this way. In order to fight against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Zhu Cihong must also be able to say one thing and be arbitrary.
