Chapter 280: Surrender
Huang Liji was very ugly in his heart, and he was a little angry, and he didn't hide it in front of Wang Yongguang.
Not to mention the little emperor, even when the apocalypse, Huang Liji had never suffered such an encounter.
Is he going to bow his head and admit his mistake?
After admitting his mistake, he has to restore the court, and everything has to go according to the little emperor's wishes, so isn't he, the first assistant, a puppet again
Huang Liji was unwilling in his heart, unwilling to let his newly rising ambition be extinguished like this
He has been up and down for decades, and he knows very well that if he goes to the Qianqing Palace to admit his mistakes, it won't be long before he has to leave the court and even be questioned
But if he doesn't go, he will become the object of the little emperor's anger and die immediately
Between two fires
Wang Yongguang didn't quite understand Huang Liji's situation, but still said: "My lord, you can't wait any longer, if you wait for the emperor's will, everything will be too late, no matter what, you can go to the palace and talk about it." β
Huang Liji glanced at him, still silent.
Such a big event, even he couldn't make a decision for a while.
Wang Yongguang looked anxious, and was about to persuade again, when a housekeeper appeared outside the door and said, "Master, Feng Ge Lao, Zhou Shangshu, Wu Shangshu, Yan Shangshu, Xu Siqing, Wang Siqing and others ask to see."
Feng Quan, Zhou Yingqiu, Wu Chunfu, Wang Shaohui, Yan Mingtai, Xu Dahua
These people, either ministers, Liubu Shangshu, or Jiusi Siqing, are all the heads of the highest power yamen of the Ming Dynasty.
Huang Liji's brows furrowed, he knew that these people also heard the news, and they were uneasy, so they came here on purpose.
Huang Liji looked a little irritable, looked at Wang Yongguang and said, "Let them all wait, I'll enter the palace." β
So saying, he got up, got dressed, and his hands and feet were numb, and he did not look like he was sick.
Wang Yongguang didn't care about this, and said happily: "Yes." β
Huang Liji got dressed, went out through the back door, and went straight to the palace.
Outside the door, Feng Quan, Zhou Yingqiu and others have been waiting.
Feng Quan stretched out his head to look inside the door, and said to the housekeeper: "Just spread the word, just say that we are here to visit the sick, and have no other intentions." β
"Yes, Motosuke is sick, why don't we come and take a look." Wang Shaohui continued. He is the secretary of the Taifu Temple, and he plans to be transferred to the Ministry of Works.
"Please let us see you." Wu Chunfu said. The new official secretary was under great pressure, and the new emperor asked him to do a lot of things, and he shirked everything, in addition to his own civil position, there was also Huang Liji's instructions.
If Huang Liji falls, he will be left alone, and the consequences will not be good.
The minds of the others were probably the same, looking at the Huang Mansion anxiously, and they couldn't rush in.
At this time, Wang Yongguang walked out, raised his hand and said: "Xiaguan has seen all your lords, don't worry, Yuanfu has already entered the palace." β
Everyone listened to Wang Yongguang's words, and their hearts were relieved, and even a few people were smiling.
Inside the Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youzhen was in a rare good mood, had some appetite, ate a bowl of rice, and drank a bowl of soup.
He looked at the mountain of notebooks, and slowly picked them up and read them.
After a while, he raised his head and said, "Is there any movement outside the palace?"
Li Zhong turned sideways and said, "Back to Long Live Lord, I heard that many adults went to Yuanfu's mansion and blocked the door and couldn't get in. β
Zhu Youzhen snorted and said, "What about Huang Liji?"
Li Zhong is now gradually mastering the East Factory, knowing that Zhu Youzhen is concerned about Huang Liji, he naturally sent someone to keep an eye on it, looked up at Zhu Youzhen, and said softly: "Yuan Fu came out of the back door, and he should be on the way to the palace now." β
Zhu Youzhen's eyes were cold, and then he was happy, and said: "When he came, he said that he was busy and asked him to wait." β
"Yes." Li Zhong responded with an immobile expression.
At this time, Huang Liji had already entered the palace from Donghua Gate and walked towards the Qianqing Palace from one door to another.
There was no expression on his thin face, just a solemn look in his eyes, thoughtful.
The little emperor was more skilled than he expected, and this move hit the nail on the head, forcing him to bow his head. But except for Taizu and Chengzu, no emperor can suppress the courtiers, and it is too naΓ―ve for the little emperor to want to control the courtiers like this.
Before Huang Liji came to the Qianqing Palace, he already had a plan in his heart.
"Yuanfu, the emperor is busy now, you can wait a while." Li Zhong looked at Huang Liji with a smile and said.
Huang Liji didn't want anything else, held the first auxiliary shelf, mumbled, and stood at the foot of the steps with his hands in wait.
Li Zhong had a smile on his face, but he snorted coldly in his heart about the grasshopper after the autumn, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead
Zhu Youzhen naturally knew that Huang Liji was coming in the palace, sitting on the chair, drinking tea slowly, since he came to the Qianqing Palace, his heart has not been so comfortable.
Huang Liji stood at the foot of the steps, waited for a quarter of an hour, and couldn't help frowning when he saw that the Qianqing Palace was still quiet.
He finally reacted, and the little emperor was estimating that he was ugly.
Huang Liji's eyes were rare with anger, but they flashed, holding his hands, and his eyes were slightly closed expressionlessly.
I don't know how long it took, Zhu Youzhen stood at the window, watching Huang Liji standing motionless, and finally got most of the evil anger in his heart, and said with a smile: "Let him come in." β
"Yes." Li Zhong answered, turned around and went out.
Li Zhong looked at Huang Liji, who was still sweating a little in the winter, his eyes were disdainful, but he smiled and said, "Yuanfu, the emperor invites you in." β
Huang Liji glanced at Li Zhong, tidied up his clothes, and stepped up the steps.
Entering the Dongnuan Pavilion, Huang Liji looked at Zhu Youzhen, who was sitting upright, took two steps forward, knelt down and said: "Hundreds of officials have boycotted the dynasty, resulting in the ruins of the national government, and the ministers are the first assistants, and the crime should be punished, please punish Your Majesty." β
Do you think I don't want to cure your sins?
Zhu Youzhen snorted coldly in his heart, and said lightly: "It's good that you know, this pile on my table is all about impeaching you." β
Huang Liji knelt on the ground, did not raise his head, and said, "The minister is guilty." The minister asks His Majesty to give the minister some time, so that the minister can resume the state government, and with the heart of the world, he will ask His Majesty to punish the crime again later. β
Zhu Youzhen wanted to hear this, he was happy, and he was deliberately silent for a while before he said: "Well, restore the court situation as soon as possible, Cui Chengxiu, the three divisions will be tried, and I will see the results within three days." β
Huang Liji had already thought about these on the road, and said, "The minister obeys the order." β
Zhu Youzhen saw that Huang Liji did not shirk the blame this time, and his heart was even more refreshed, and he said with a smile: "Okay, you go." β
"The minister retired." Huang Li Ji said. Then he got up tremblingly, turned around and walked away slowly.
Watching Huang Liji walk out of the door, Zhu Youzhen's face was full of smiles, and Yu Li Zhong said: "Zhou Qing's method is really useful, Zhou Qing is right, he has two sons, one is called Zhou Hengping, and the other is called Zhou Zhengyun, what kind of official position is it now?"
Li Zhong glanced at Zhu Youzhen and said cautiously: "Back to Long Live Lord, Zhou Hengping seems to be in Dali Temple, and he is a low-end official; Zhou Zhengyun is in the cabinet, and the cabinet is still hand-picked by Long Live Lord. β
Zhu Youzhen was faint recently, suddenly woke up, pondered for a moment with a smile, and said: "Well, I am a little wronged, give me some attention, have a chance, and give them a suitable position." β
"The slave has written it down." Li Zhong said quietly.
Zhu Youzhen was in a good mood, and immediately thought about the problem of cleaning up the eunuch party, and couldn't help but have a headache.
This time, the resignation of hundreds of officials made him deeply understand that the eunuch party was too powerful
