Guo Rong had already dragged He Tianqu down with someone, and after a while, the sound of chopping melons and vegetables sounded outside the noon gate again.

And the civil officials in the court were almost frightened at this time, and no one dared to challenge Zhu Houzhao's majesty.

Zhu Houzhao seemed to have an awe-inspiring majesty at this time, and he asked Min Jue, the secretary of the Criminal Department, again: "Min Shangshu, did you hear my will clearly?" ”

When Min Qi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, saw Zhu Houzhao asking him, he was already so frightened that he instinctively prostrated down: "The minister has heard clearly, Wang Yue and others have committed a heinous crime and should be severely punished, please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will obey the will!" ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded, thinking that this Shangshu deserved to be a Shangshu, and he wouldn't be confused when he shouldn't be confused.

So, Zhu Houzhao waved his long sleeves: "Let's disperse!" ”

The civil and military officials of the Ascension Dynasty began to shout: "Wait for the ministers to retire!" Then, one after another, they retreated.

At this moment, all civil and military officials did not dare to speak casually, and their hearts were also uneasy, and some officials were even so frightened that they almost tripped up.

Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, was like water, he was very angry and helpless now, he knew that he had lost, and he also knew that he could no longer exert influence on Emperor Zhu Houzhao, and even knew that he could no longer resist Emperor Zhu Houzhao.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that our new emperor His Majesty could actually let Wang Yue defeat, how did he do it, didn't he say that the officers and soldiers had not sent their rice, would he Zhang Zhao use this to lead the troops into the palace, but now it has fallen to such a point, and now he has let Zhu Houzhao kill three officials in a row, does he really care about his reputation behind him and the dignity of our civil officials?"

Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, finally sighed and said.

"Speaking of which, we should have found out the clue a long time ago, yesterday our majesty was very different from the past, as if he was a different person, and directly killed Li Kedu to Sun Lingmei in the matter, at that time, we should have realized that he Zhu Houzhao had been prepared, but unfortunately we thought that Wang Yue could suppress him!"

Li Dongyang shook his head helplessly as he spoke.

"Our majesty estimated that he was ready to make a move, of course, we also expected this, but I thought that Wang Yue and Zhang Zhao and others could still manipulate the military heart and get rid of Liu Jin and others with lightning speed, but they fell into it, and these energetic sergeants in front of them seemed to be dissatisfied because of Lu Mi's lack of hair, and they all looked very stable, and it can be seen that our Majesty had already let these soldiers get Lu Mi!"

Xie Qian also said helplessly.

"Wang Yue, this useless thing, if it weren't for Zhang Yu, the first emperor's incident would not have been able to succeed by him alone! As Yu Qiao said, but we didn't allocate money to the Ministry of War, and we didn't leave much money for Your Majesty, where did Your Majesty get the money to send Lu rice! ”

Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, was very puzzled.

"Didn't Your Majesty open some royal exposition some time ago, make a lot of money, and raise some shares everywhere, looking for hundreds of officials everywhere to ask for silver?"

Cabinet Third Assistant Xie Qian asked.

"But according to the people of the Jinyi Guard, Your Majesty has squandered this money! That night, Gu Dayong searched for beauties everywhere on the grounds of beauty pageants, and bought more than ten excellent girls in Mingyue Lou to go back! and Ma Yongcheng and His Majesty lost 100,000 taels in the casino, are these all fake news? ”

After Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, finished speaking, Li Dongyang asked with a smile: "Shou Kui, do you think that His Majesty in the hall today looks like an overly drunk?" ”

Liu Jian and Xie Qian said at the same time: "We were deceived by Zhu Houzhao!" ”

"In this way, Your Majesty has already collected the heart of the army, and if you want to collect the heart of the army, you will naturally not be able to bypass the military department, which means that Xu Jin is also with them! I'm afraid that Liu Gong's death has something to do with them! ”

Liu Jian waved his long sleeves angrily as he spoke: "Poor Liu Gong died so miserably!" ”

"What Shoufu said is very true, Your Majesty is no longer the previous Majesty, and in the future, you can only continue to say that Liu Thief can't say Your Majesty's faults, and now that Liu Thief is in charge, the three of us naturally can't be endured by Liu Thief, so it's better to resign, lest the next one to be killed is us!"

Li Dongyang said that he would take the first step, and he did not dare to go with Liu Jian and Xie Qian again.

Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, sighed and walked out of the palace alone.

Xie Qian glanced back at Fengtianmen, thinking that it was a pity that he had left the Ming Dynasty Hall like this before he became the first assistant!

The elders of the three cabinets originally hoped that Zhu Houzhao would be really cynical, so that they could jointly control the government with Wang Yue and others in the inner court, and Wang Yue had always respected the ministers of the three cabinets, which was equivalent to the old power of the three cabinets in charge of the world.

But they didn't expect that today's Zhu Houzhao is not really cynical, but an emperor with a deep city.

And they originally hoped that Wang Yue and the others could use the army to force Zhu Houzhao to kill Liu Jin and others at the last opportunity, so that they could continue to control Zhu Houzhao together. But what they didn't expect was that the final winner was Zhu Houzhao, who had already won the hearts of the army without their knowledge.

The elders of the third cabinet now think that Zhu Houzhao's behavior was flawed everywhere, but they don't know why they didn't see it at the time, and even if they know it now, it will be useless, so they can only resign obediently.

……

Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao also didn't know how he did it in history to change the inner court, the historical record is very concise, only said that because the civil officials asked to kill Liu Jin, the result was that Liu Jin and other Eight Tigers interceded with Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao directly ordered Liu Jin to control the celebrant supervisor, and then deposed Wang Yue, and then Wang Yue was assassinated, and the old cabinet resigned.

Of course, the historical truth may not be so simple, first of all, Wang Yue cannot sit still, and secondly, the elders of the third cabinet cannot be cowardly because Liu Jin took the throne, and there should be more unknown secrets in the meantime, and the current Zhu Houzhao does not know.

However, he could guess that in the future, the three cabinet elders would probably resign, because if he did not resign, he would be unhappy as the emperor, Liu Jin and others in the inner court would also be unhappy, and civil officials such as Ma Wensheng would also be unhappy.

However, Zhu Houzhao didn't know if Li Dongyang would stay, because the original history recorded that Li Dongyang did not leave the court because of Liu Jin's coming to power, but Zhu Houzhao can be sure that as long as Li Dongyang resigns, he will not hesitate to approve Li Dongyang's resignation.

Because according to the existing rules of the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet is senior, and the first to come naturally has the most right to speak, that is to say, as long as one of the three cabinets is still in the cabinet, even if he makes up for the new ministers, the new ministers cannot become the first assistant, which is naturally not conducive to the reform of the new cabinet ministers in the future.
