Chapter 460: Sudden Change

"Xuan. Hundreds of officials enter the Hajj to see him. In the midst of this high-pitched announcement. Ministers dressed in court uniforms of various colors rushed in. Although for this huge Imperial Palace. These 100 or so people are really not a lot of people. But the atmosphere is very different.

How to say it. In a word. Hundreds of important officials of the imperial court all gathered here. That aura is quite sharp.

Gao Gong's sentence "How can the ten-year-old son of heaven rule the world" is not meant to be fun. Although it is said that no matter who it is. Ask any minister of the DPRK whether this sentence is true or false. Absolutely no one would dare to say this in front of others.

But actually. Almost all of them feel that this sentence is not false. It makes sense.

But here's why. Why, exactly, is this so? It may be different from what most people think. It is not because the person who sat on the throne of the Son of Heaven at the age of ten is still a child. It's not clear yet. Not enough books have been read. It is not yet possible to deal perfectly with the affairs of the state and the affairs between the ministers.

None of this is a problem. After all, a little. This was the era of the feudal dynasty. Who will sit on the throne is not determined by those who have passed the imperial examination or become ministers. It's a royal thing. A man who is a courtier. It is possible to disagree with the person who sits on the throne. It is even possible to unite those who are truly talented. Go and overthrow him. But whoever it is. It is impossible to question why the emperor of the previous generation would pass the throne to such an incompetent person of this generation.

What really makes this statement true. That's why. The ten-year-old Son of Heaven understands too little about the world. Such a child. Especially these princes. It's okay on weekdays. But once it is looked up to by so many people below. One decision can cost many lives. This kind of pressure is increasing. Not everyone can afford it at such a young age.

In this way. It's almost a blank sheet of paper. First, they can't bear the pressure of the ministers. Then a few people. Especially those who think they are old-fashioned. People who always like to impose their will on others. It's easy to get him to agree to something that doesn't make sense without thinking about it. Even bad decisions; Second. For the feud of the courtiers. The young emperor was also extremely susceptible to the demagoguery of those close to him.

That's the point.

However, Zhu Yijun has done a good job on this point. I've never been afraid of a lot of people or anything like that. In fact. About that. It seems that the emperors of the Ming Dynasty did a good job. No one ever stinks about it. At most, yes. Some are really undaunted. Some of them are just muddy.

And now. Zhu Yijun has a serious face. But he sat unnervously on the dragon chair that was so wide for him. He faced the ministers below to pay homage to him as usual. can also calmly say such majestic words as "Zhongqing is flat".

But he also understands it very well. If nowadays. Next to him is not sitting the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces. Or more precisely. Not the words of his mother, Empress Dowager Li, who was sitting. That's perfect.

And for the ministers standing below. Now this scene does not make them feel good. Especially the high arches.

Why. Because Feng Bao is now standing next to Zhu Yijun's dragon chair.

Since Zhu Yijun ascended the throne. As long as it's the turn of this early dynasty. Or when the ministers are summoned. Feng Bao must be standing next to Zhu Yijun. If this is on a normal day. Not really. After all, there was a eunuch standing next to the emperor. And it's not too much.

But Feng Bao is different. He didn't know how to avoid it at all. Or maybe it's on purpose. Kowtowing to a ten-year-old emperor is not something unacceptable. After all, it was the emperor. It is a transcendent existence of this era.

But you Feng Bao is a eunuch. Even if he has the power to curb the imperial power. But you're just a eunuch after all. A castration. A slave. dared to stand by the emperor's side and accept the bow of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military ministers without knowing how to avoid it. This is simply a deception. And it was a bully in front of the emperor.

But nowadays. The Empress Dowager and the Emperor of the two palaces were present. None of them said anything. Acquiesced in the fact that this kind of thing happened. The others are ministers. What is there to say?

But I can't say it. But their anger at Feng Bao. Or rather, jealousy. But it's increasing day by day. Especially for high arches. As the new emperor's assistant. Originally, he should have enjoyed the privilege of seeing the emperor without having to pay homage. Why can Feng Bao, who is also an auxiliary minister, not bow down. It's okay not to bow down. You Feng Bao should also consciously stand away.

And Feng Bao's natural look. It made Gao Gong angry to the extreme.

Arguably. The high arch was chosen at this time. The new emperor began to impeach Feng Bao only half a month after he ascended the throne. This is a big factor.

But now. Gao Gong felt that he was about to get out of the blue. He united a lot of people yesterday. The impeachment of Feng Bao will be replaced by his right to assist the government. Skipped the celebrant of ceremonies. It was directly sent to the hands of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and Zhu Yijun. And now. The two palaces and the emperor announced the audience of hundreds of officials. In the high arch, it must be for this purpose.

Come to think of it. Gao Gong couldn't help but feel very happy in his heart. He also thought about Zhang Juzheng, who was standing beside him, and glanced at it. Seems to be saying. Now I'm about to do it. Achievements are immortal. You, Zhang Juzheng, dared to refuse me at that time. I regret it now.

But Zhang Juzheng simply ignored Gao Gong. Even the eyes staring at the ground didn't move. This makes the high arch a little angry. I was very happy just now. At this point, there is a fall.

However, the high arch was adjusted quickly. In his opinion. He was about to get rid of Feng Bao. Wait until that time. He arched high in the middle of the court, and there was no hindrance. Although Zhang Juzheng is the second assistant of the cabinet. But isn't it how to knead and flatten with the high arch?

This time. Zhu Yijun, who was sitting on the dragon chair, spoke. The voice is immature though. But it sounds quite majestic: "Where is the Cabinet Scholar Gao Gong?" ”

Zhu Yijun's words just came out. The ministers who didn't know what was going to happen today already had some idea. Especially Guo Pu. It's already like ashes.

"Wechen is here." Gao Gong heard Zhu Yijun call himself. The high arch fart walked out in a hurry. Stood in the center of the main hall. "I don't know what Your Majesty is calling Weichen." Gao Gong himself didn't notice it.

He is now the new Emperor's Auxiliary Minister. It was the minister who was designated before Longqing's death. Although Zhu Yijun is the emperor. But anyway. I still have to respect the ministers who are destined for my life as pointed out by my father who went away. And yet just now. When Zhu Yijun called the high arch. but by his official name. This is definitely not normal.

Those standing below who don't know the truth can already guess what will happen today. However, the mind is full of victorious arches. Where will notice these. Still looking happy.

"High arch to receive the order." Feng Bao standing next to Zhu Yijun. He walked over with a holy decree in his hands.

"Micro ...... We're in charge. Gao Gong knelt on the ground very unpleasantly. For such a thing as kneeling down to Feng Bao. It's the most unpleasant high-attack. It was fine just now. After all, there were other hundred and ten people with him. And now he's the only one.

And at the moment. The heart is mixed with the high arch of happy and unhappy moods. Didn't care at all. Why is Feng Bao, who is already about to be punished in his eyes? Now it is the matter of standing in front of him with pride and reading the decree to him.

Feng Bao didn't pay attention to that. Seeing Gao Gong kneeling. Then he opened the decree and read it aloud.

The minister standing next to him. I could already have predicted what this decree was going to say. And the high arch. Listen to Feng Bao's reading. That's a huge change.

There is nothing else in the Divine Decree. It's not too long. It's simple. That's all there is to it. That is to accuse Gao Gong of abusing power. There is no king. Afterwards. It is a list of the various sins that Gao Gong has committed.

Speaking of these things. The people who were there. Including Zhang Fan, they are all very familiar. The Holy Decree is not many words because of the number of words. It's just a few typical things. But these things. All of them have been used to impeach the high arch. Some go back four or five years. However, these are also because of the identity of the high arch. And it didn't work out. One of them is a person who has played a fold. Some of them have already returned to their hometowns. Some were expelled from the court by the high arches. And some are still there. But it is also because of the high arch. Deposed out of Beijing.

And the high arch. With good wishes, the lofty ideal of the high arch. At this moment. He was full of hope. Hear these in vain. It was like a bolt from the blue. The noodles are like dead ashes. Sweat rained down to describe the image of the high arch today. Obviously a little too conservative.

And the last of the Divine Decrees. The high arch will be evicted. Note. It's eviction. Instead of giving him a gift. Expelled from the capital. In a few days, he will return to the field for retirement.

Unexpectedly. I have worked hard for most of my life. Killed the high arches of countless people who stood in the way in front of him. Now I can only get this fate.

"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty. The two queen mothers. Wechen ...... Wechen ...... "The high arch at this moment." Where can you still speak as neatly as you used to. On and off. Trembling. "These ...... These are all those villains who falsely accuse Wei Chen. Wechen ...... Wechen was wronged. Please also ask the Queen Mother to be clear. ”

"Hmph. Treat unjustly. Also discerning. It wasn't Zhu Yijun who spoke. It's the Empress Dowager Li. "If it's not true. Your Majesty will issue this edict but it will not be successful. Those present have something to say. ”

"Who...... Who dares to speak ill of this official. At this time, Gao Gong was a little frustrated. Roaring openly above the main hall.

Quiescence. It was very quiet.

In the face of this silence. Gao Gong's heart settled down a little. In his opinion. Who would dare to stand up now and say that he is not.

However. It's just someone who wants to say.

"Weichen has something to play."

With such a voice breaking the silence. A man stood up.

This person is not Zhang Juzheng, who has just indicated that he wants to speak on the spot. It's Zhang Fan.
