At the end of September of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, when the battlefield outside the Imperial Horse Prison was almost cleaned up, and the rectangular tent with a depth of more than 15 zhang and a width of about 8 zhang was also temporarily erected, the civil and military officials had to stand neatly outside the tent because of their ugliness. The first real early dynasty since the new emperor ascended the throne began.

In the early Ming Dynasty, according to Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral system, officials in Beijing, regardless of their own province or other provinces, and regardless of their official positions, had the obligation to go to court when the Son of Heaven decided to go to the court. Therefore, there are often hundreds of people who go to court at the same time, and sometimes even as many as more than 1,000 people. The abandonment of the prime minister was, of course, to prevent the upper bureaucracy from covering the sky with one hand. This is also the original meaning of the early dynasty, if there are only a few first-class masters in the list like in many films and television, and it is just a twist and turn, then the early dynasty will lose the meaning under the power system to a large extent.

There are no three bows and nine bows in the Chang Dynasty, nor are there five bows and two bows in the Great Dynasty, but there are three bows and one knock. Although there do not seem to be any details of etiquette such as whipping, in order to show respect for this decisive emperor, the ministers still performed five bows and two bows in the Chang Dynasty.

Many things in the past month have also made many officials in the capital feel that such a person who is decisive in killing and does not play according to the routine should remain silent first, and then explore the wind first. Some of the ideas that had been planned for impeachment and re-election were better put away, and not many people dared not to come in various names. Although the total number of people in the first early dynasty when the new emperor ascended the throne did not reach the record 1,100 people in the Chenghua period, there were about 8900 people, which is relatively much. According to Xiao Xuan's requirements, after standing in the large tent within more than ten zhang intensively, there were as many as eight rows. Xiao Xuan also found a problem with his own experience at this time: in this big tent that temporarily made up for air leaks everywhere, normal words may not be able to spread too far. However, if you think about it carefully, this is not too much of a problem, and I don't expect to personally lecture and transform the three views of these people just like I did with those young officers and soldiers. It's just a message, and there is a way to do it, even if some orders require the people behind you to be unable to hear clearly for a while, you should know how to do it when you see what the people in front of you do.

After the ministers entered the hall according to very simple etiquette, hundreds of people were almost silent, and there was no sound of each other's ears. Xiao Xuan didn't let the eunuchs around him shout anything, "There is a morning music and no retreat"

In history, when the eunuch party was initially decided, the first impeachment chapter with gold content was, of course, the impeachment of Hu Huanyou, a supervisor of Shanyin, for making a "sounding balloon" for university scholars Huang Liji, Shi Fenglai, Zhang Ruitu, Li Guo and others, but when these people entered the big tent under Xiao Xuan's arrangement, no one planned to do so.

The silence lasted for about three minutes, and Xiao Xuan finally settled his tone, it was better not to give people too arrogant and cynical attitudes on such occasions. However, the pedigree of a top emperor of the Qing Dynasty still has to be placed, and he doesn't want to rubber-stamp this form of the early dynasty, even if it is not held often, it should become a tool in his hands.

"I know that in a place like this today, in front of my own military camp, many of the ministers may feel that some of them are out of place or too improvised. But I feel that the current Ming Dynasty has reached a very moment of life and death, internal and external troubles. I can't wait for the Jiannu outside the gate to come to the city again like the Jin soldiers at the time of the Jingkang Change, and then discuss countermeasures with you. Therefore, I decided that when the finances of the Ming Dynasty were not sufficient, especially not as in the Song Dynasty, there were tens of millions of financial revenues and expenditures every year, every penny must be diligent and thrifty. The Jiannu outside the gate will not worship me because I have the support of the Son of Heaven, and neither will the possible rogues or traitors in the gate. Therefore, I can make it clear: to reduce the scale of the palace establishment, and the center of power from the Qianqing Palace and other places to this area of the Imperial Horse Prison, is to maximize the cultivation of the army and train the troops to eliminate troubles. At the same time, a Son of Heaven who truly personally controls a strong military force will be a true Son of Heaven. The worst of the secretaries have also experienced the township test, and they should all be smart people and understand this. I will not do the things of tyrannical Qin, nor is it Emperor Taizu, when the elimination of foreign troubles and the stability of the world are restored, of course, I will enjoy life in the harem like my grandfather Emperor Wanli... Okay, let's speak freely, extraordinary times are extraordinary laws, and there is not so much red tape. Oh, there are a lot of ministers, and I am not familiar with it when I first ascended the throne, so I will report the name of my official position before reciting the chapter. ”

After Xiao Xuan's words for a long time, a bold Guozi prisoner finally walked up from ten zhang away. This is not surprising. It's always risky to go straight to something important, especially if you don't want to trouble the emperor or when the emperor is in a strong position. Therefore, in this extraordinary period, some key performances are also made by some minor officials, or even figures in Beijing who are not even officials.

"Hu Huanyou, Guozi Prison Supervisor. Wei Zhongxian, the rebel party, was on an equal footing with the first emperor; framing Empress Zhang; Daxing internal exercises, making soldiers in the court; destruction of the ancestral system; The crime of taking over military power, controlling the transportation of water, disrupting the government and engaging in favoritism, and taking bribes for favoritism should be punished with capital punishment. Wenchen Cui Chengxiu, Tian Ji, Wu Chunfu, Li Kuilong, and Wuchen Tian Ergeng, Xu Xianchun, Sun Yunhe, Yang Huan, and Cui Yingyuan were punished as capital punishment for abusing the rebellious son of heaven. Wei Yingjia, the right attendant of the eunuch army, colluded with the five armies to create a rebellion, and should be punished with ten evils. ”

"I know, I will deal with this matter personally, and I don't have to worry about the Criminal Department. However, what can not be hidden from the secretaries is that Wei Zhongxian, the leader of the eunuch party, is still at large. Of course, most of the backbone of those who participated in the rebellion were wounded and captured, and not many fled. I will tell you about this matter after it is dealt with, so you go down first! Xiao Xuan said after a moment of silence.

Such a result, of course, is also unexpected by many people, this kind of rebellion can be said to be like some ordinary things that are not serious? However, at this time, although some people were ready to move, not many people finally stood up. Then some wise people began to realize the intention and danger of the Holy One's doing. As long as these cases of rebellion are not closed for a day, it will be a sharp sword hanging over the heads of many people after all.

Xiao Xuan thought for a moment and then added: "The early dynasty is a place to discuss important matters, ordinary miscellaneous matters can be stated in the report according to the old practice, if no one impeaches anyone or there is a major grievance to report, let's go here today!" Oh, it's better to change tomorrow's morning to the end at noon. Retreat! With that, Xiao Xuan ordered the people around him to follow him out of the back door and leave the big tent. It seems that some Qing court dramas are like this, and Xiao Xuan didn't feel too uncomfortable.

The eight or nine hundred officials who came to Beijing did not expect that the Chang Dynasty of the Son of Heaven could be so willful and not pay attention to etiquette, but in this kind of place, there are not many people who dare to talk about each other after the emperor is gone like in "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo", but they are still orderly and leave the scene from front to back one by one. It's just that Huang Liji, Shi Fenglai, Zhang Ruitu, Li Guo and many other ministers are a little clear in their hearts: At least in the past hundred years, it can even be said that the status between the Son of Heaven and the ministers in the past two hundred years is about to change quietly. The monarchy is no longer the monarchy it used to be.
