At dawn on October 28, the 18th year of Hongji, the morning light was faint.

Squeak!

The gate of Cining Palace suddenly opened.

Emperor Zhu Houzhao of the Ming Dynasty walked out of it.

At this time, Liu Jin and other ministers were already prostrate on the ground, waiting outside the hall.

Zhu Houzhao did not smile, only greeted the morning glow and went in the direction of Fengtianmen, today is the time to pay tribute, and it is also the first day he took off his mourning clothes.

But for Zhu Houzhao, what is more important is that from today onwards, the inner court is all his own people, and he has begun to really control the power of the court.

Although Zhu Houzhao is only fifteen years old now, although he is still a teenager, he can still show the aura of the emperor after wearing the black winged good crown light color clothes and black rhino horn belt, solemn and mighty and domineering.

Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips, folded his sleeves in front of his abdomen, and walked forward lightly, neither in a hurry nor slowly.

At this moment, he only felt extremely excited, he knew that he would definitely make all the civil officials stunned later, and it would also make the entire Ming Dynasty really begin to realize the existence of his imperial dignity.

Liu Jin and the other new Inner Court Da Jue were also excited and felt fresh, this was the first time they had become the top eunuchs of the empire, they were as energetic as the previous emperor Zhu Houzhao, and their eyebrows and eyes were full of vitality.

Liu Jin shouted: "Your Majesty is going to court!" ”

Even the drums are contending, and the whips are repeated.

……

And at this time.

The officials also wore light-colored clothes, black gauze hats, and black horn belts, and came to Fengtianmen.

Today's dynasty is mainly to perform consolation ceremonies, so they are all gathered in Fengtianmen to mark the official end of Emperor Hongzhi's mourning period.

The elders of the three cabinets also got up very early this day, and last night they all knew about the arrival of a large number of troops in Miyagi, so they began to discuss it early in the morning.

Before entering the palace, Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, sneered and asked Li Dongyang and Xie Qian: "You said, after entering the palace, has the white curtain in the palace been removed or not?" ”

According to the rules, from today onwards, Emperor Xiaozong's funeral is over, and white curtains and other white things will naturally be removed, and Liu Jian asked, naturally thinking that Zhu Houzhao might have been killed, so he asked.

Li Dongyang also laughed: "I'm afraid it has been removed, otherwise we would have received the news of his death last night!" ”

Liu Jian nodded.

And Xie Qian sighed a little unexpectedly: "It's also cheaper for him Zhu Houzhao, remembering that he slapped the old man yesterday and forced the old man to eat filthy things, which really makes it difficult for people to bear this breath!" ”

When Liu Jian heard Xie Qian say this, he also felt the same way, and his yellow teeth clenched for a while: "If it weren't for the fact that the first emperor only had one son, the old man really wanted him to collapse at the age of fifteen!" ”

"Shou Yu and Yu Qiao should bear with it, he Zhu Houzhao is still the king in the end, but as long as Liu Jin and other eunuchs are removed, he Zhu Houzhao will now have no arms, and we and Wang Yue will naturally be able to control him, and when the time comes, the court will still have the final say, and let Zhu Houzhao apologize to the two elders at that time, which can be regarded as sympathetic to the old ministers!"

Li Dongyang also said at this time, with a smug smile on the corner of his mouth, and began to imagine the scene when Zhu Houzhao was at the mercy of his civil officials.

And at this time, Liu Jian also agreed with Li Dongyang's words: "What Bin Zhi said is reasonable, it is best to let him Zhu Hou take the next edict when the time comes, which is also good for him!" ”

The elders of the three cabinets nodded thoughtfully, and came to Fengtianmen with confidence.

And when the three elders of the cabinet and a group of civil officials entered Fengtianmen, they saw Liu Jin standing outside Fengtianmen!

Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, was dumbfounded on the spot, and the whole person stood in place stunned as if he had been knocked on a stick, muttering in his heart, secretly saying How could Liu Jin stand on top of Dan Qiao, shouldn't he be executed?

The elephant wat in the hand of Li Dongyang, the second assistant of the cabinet, fell directly to the ground, and with a snapping sound, his lips trembled, and he was very surprised.

How is this possible, what is going on, this is impossible!

Shouldn't Wang Yue, the eunuch who is in charge of the celebrant seal kill Liu Jin, even if it is not such an ending, it will be Zhu Houzhao's violent death or serious illness!

Even then, Liu Jin shouldn't be alive, at least the responsibility for Zhu Houzhao's violent death has to be borne by Liu Jin, in short, it is impossible for Liu Jin to stand in front of him at this time!

Xie Qian, the third assistant of the cabinet, also glanced at Li Dongyang and Liu Jian incredulously, and secretly drummed in his heart, secretly saying that Liu Jin was not dead! This shows that there is a reason for this! For a while, Xie Qian couldn't help but ask excitedly:

"Why is Liu Jin standing here! What qualifications does he have to stand here as a eunuch of the Bell and Drum Division! The prince of the inner minister! ”

Zhu Houzhao had not yet appeared at this time, and the etiquette had not officially begun, so Liu Jin, who came first, walked down in person and came to Xie Qian:

"So that Lord Xie knows that our family is now the master of ceremonies, and he is the head of the inner court, so it is naturally necessary to listen to the announcement in front of the emperor, as for Wang Yue, a traitor, who tried to seek power and usurp the throne, he has now been detained! Did you disappoint Master Xie? ”

Liu Jin walked down, smiled slightly as he spoke, and then returned to Fengtianmen.

And Zhu Houzhao also appeared in the hall at this time, and after Guo Rong shouted: "Your Majesty has arrived", the ministers began to salute.

Zhu Hou glanced at the civil and military officials below, especially the civil and military clique standing on the left shift.

Although these civil officials are still the same as before, and basically there are no major changes, Zhu Houzhao now has enough confidence to confront them, because he has already controlled the inner court, and at the same time, he has also subdued the hearts of the military attaché and noble group before.

Now, Zhu Houzhao can scan the scholars and doctors prostrate in front of him with the eyes of the world!

"All the ministers are flat!"

Zhu Houzhao shouted solemnly, and then deliberately glanced at the three elders of the cabinet when the civil officials got up to thank him.

Zhu Houzhao found that Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, looked downward, and there was already a look of disappointment, and the whole person stood to the side indifferently, sluggish, Zhu Houzhao could guess that the first assistant of the cabinet had probably guessed that his ambition to control himself as an emperor had been shattered!

Li Dongyang, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, sighed softly, and even was still distracted, shaking his head from time to time.

Zhu Houzhao smiled lightly, feeling refreshed from the bottom of his heart, secretly thinking that these old foxes would not have thought that they would have such a gaffe.

Xie Qian, the third assistant of the cabinet, still looked unconvinced, but then he sighed, and only glanced at the other civil officials, obviously he still wanted to rely on other officials to recover the situation that his civilian group would lose.
