Zhu Youzhen, the son of heaven, looked at the indignant civil officials, took a breath, and a few drops of fine sweat oozed from his forehead. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Of course, Zhu Youzhen knew how powerful these civil officials were.

Taken together, these civil officials are the imperial court. In the eyes of these civil officials, the emperor is just a tablet high in the court.

Whether it is the ministry that manages the officials of the world, the military department that manages the military attachés of the world, or the household department that manages the world's finances and taxes, without the emperor, the civil officials can still play their own games. The commander of Jinyiwei made Luo Yangxing very afraid of Wenchen, and everything depends on the face of the Donglin Party boss. As long as the civil servants collude and do not report the truth, the Son of Heaven will not know anything at all.

The general soldiers and deputy generals in various places were promoted by civilian officials, and loyalty to civilian officials was even greater than that of the Son of Heaven. Even if the Son of Heaven does not issue an order, the civil officials can mobilize most of the soldiers and horses in the world. If the civilian officials don't say it, the Son of Heaven doesn't even know if the army goes out to win or lose.

Even in the palace, the eunuchs and palace ladies were deeply influenced by civil officials. The orders of the Donglin Party outside the palace may cause an uproar in the palace at any time.

The Donglin Party often says that the world of the Ming Dynasty is governed by scholars and the Son of Heaven, and this sentence is not false at all. Without the cooperation of civil officials, the Son of Heaven is nothing.

And the confrontation between the collective and the civilian officials, and the hard shaking of the Donglin Party, is almost looking for death.

Historically, Zhu Youzhen did not have the support of Li Zhi and never dared to resist the collective will of civil officials. For example, in history, when Li Zicheng sent troops to the capital, Zhu Youzhen once wanted to go to Nanzhili to reorganize the rivers and mountains. However, because the civil officials did not agree during the court meeting and were collectively silent, Zhu Youzhen reluctantly gave up the idea of avoiding the south.

Zhu Youzhen said on the move south to Nanjing: "I have wanted to do this for a long time, because no one praises it, so it is late to this day, you will be with me, but the ministers outside do not obey, what can I do?" It can be seen that without the permission of civil officials, the Son of Heaven of the Ming Dynasty did not even dare to go south to Nanjing to save his life.

In the Chongzhen Dynasty, Zhu Youzhen could kill people for the dereliction of duty of individual civil officials, but he would never dare to oppose the collective will of civil officials.

However, history has made a fork because of the emergence of Li Zhi.

Li Zhi was a sworn enemy of civil officials, but on the other hand, he was also a defender of imperial power. Li Zhi's daily struggle with civil officials weakened the ruling power of civilian officials in the Ming Dynasty, but it also strengthened Zhu Youzhen's authority in another aspect.

With Li Zhi here, Zhu Youzhen had reason to strengthen the Beijing camp and control a considerable army. In the interval between Li Zhi and the civil officials, Zhu Youzhen strengthened the East Factory and gradually got rid of the intelligence work that was almost blind.

Li Zhi's exploits in the southern and northern wars were also Zhu Youzhen's meritorious deeds, and they directly enhanced Zhu Youzhen's authority.

The culture of "public morality" and the heart of "public benefit" advocated by Li Zhi in Tianjin also directly poked at the heart of Confucian academics who only advocated "private morality". Li Zhi's theory of public morality theoretically tore up the moral gentleman's face of the civil officials, and made Zhu Youzhen shake off his awe of the great Confucians, and from then on he could really look down on the great Confucians in the court.

With Li Zhizai, Zhu Youzhen is not as afraid of civilian officials as he used to be. He has more confidence to confront civilian officials.

Liu Zongzhou is a great Confucian of the Ming Dynasty, and his articles and knowledge are second to none in the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps sensing Li Zhi's devastating harm to Confucianism, he was in the vanguard of opposition to Li Zhi. When the Ning army was transferred to crusade against Li Zhi, he ran up and down extremely hard. His every move fell into the eyes of the secret guards, and in Li Zhi's recital, he named him to kill him.

Since Li Zhi wanted this person's life, Zhu Youzhen decided to stand with Li Zhi this time and kill Liu Zongzhou.

Liu Zongzhou can lose, but Li Zhi definitely can't lose. This time, the imperial court transferred the Ning army to crusade against Li Zhi, which can be said to be a great test of Li Zhi's loyalty. If Li Zhi is chilled for the sake of a Liu Zongzhou, no longer supports the imperial court, and even raises the banner to rebel, then the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji will be subjected to the most severe test.

One after another, the civil officials seconded the motion, resolutely preventing Zhu Youzhen from saying anything about investigating Liu Zongzhou. Dozens of people stood in front of the dragon chair with tooth cards in their hands to second, which was more of a demonstration than a suggestion.

Looking at the boiling civil officials, Zhu Youzhen closed his eyes and didn't speak for a long time.

The civil officials looked at the Son of Heaven who closed his eyes and meditated, and they were all a little surprised. If the Son of Heaven had encountered so many civil officials in the past, he would definitely regret and retreat. But the current Son of Heaven is so calm, and it seems that he is not affected by the turbulent momentum of the civil officials in the slightest.

After a long time, Zhu Youzhen opened his eyes.

Word by word, Zhu Youzhen said slowly: "Liu Zong, the imperial historian of the left capital of the Imperial Palace, operated the camp of 70,000 Guanning border troops without authorization, resulting in the loss of 400 miles of land, and almost forced Li Zhi, the prince of Jinguo, to rebel, which is unforgivable!" Someone came, take down Liu Zongzhou, and put him in the edict for careful interrogation! ”

When the civil officials heard this, their faces turned pale one by one.

They looked at each other in disbelief, their eyes full of disbelief - so many civil officials came up to oppose it, and the Son of Heaven wanted to kill Liu Zongzhou. The Son of Heaven is confronting all civil officials!

The Son of Heaven is not afraid that he will not be able to get out of the Forbidden City, and the Son of Heaven is not afraid of being scolded by the people of the world, and he is not afraid of dying inexplicably one day?

When Liu Zongzhou heard the words of the Son of Heaven, he lost consciousness all over. He stumbled to the left, and suddenly he did not stand still, but fell to the ground.

The four Jinyi guards "Han Generals" rushed up and wanted to take down Liu Zongzhou.

Wang Keming, the left servant of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, jumped out and shouted loudly: "Who dares to move the Imperial Historical Observatory? ”

Zhu Youzhen saw that this imperial history dared to resist the holy decree, and he was furious, pointing at this imperial history and shouting: "Someone! Drag the imperial Shi Wang Keming out and beat the court staff for a hundred! ”

Beat a hundred court staffs, then can you still survive? The Son of Heaven is going to kill on a killing spree!

The civil officials glanced at each other, and no one dared to go up to stop the Jinyi Guard. Jinyi Wei went up to catch Wang Keming, and Wang Keming scuffled with Jinyi guards on the spot. But where was he a civil official who was Jinyiwei's opponent, and in the end, Jinyiwei grabbed his hands and feet, lifted him up, and lifted him out of the noon gate.

Liu Zongzhou was also pulled up from the ground by the Han general and taken to the edict outside the palace.

The civil officials were stunned one by one on the Imperial Palace, their eyes full of shock. is such a naked confrontation with civilian officials, is this still Zhu Youzhen? This is Zhu Youzhen, who was taught by the great Confucianism of the DPRK and China, and was known as a Confucian student?

This Son of Heaven actually took down the famous Confucian master Liu Zongzhou of the Ming Dynasty in this way.

Sven swept it away, shameful!

Zhu Youzhen finished issuing a series of orders, and his face was a little pale. But he didn't flinch in the shreak. He stood up and glanced at the civil officials in the court, and snorted coldly.

With a flick of his sleeves, Zhu Youzhen strode out of the Imperial Palace.

"Retreat!"

The civilians looked at each other for a while, their eyes filled with anger.
