Chapter 242: Take a leave of absence today

Li Yan is right, these things are indeed more than enough to bring down those ministers.

Looking at the puzzled eyes of his subordinates, Li Yan smiled and did not explain.

Now is the sensitive period for Zhu Houzhao to ascend the throne as the new emperor, and the new official has to take office with three fires, let alone the new emperor ascending the throne?

So at this time, it is absolutely reasonable for Zhu Houzhao to illuminate the knife, and from the perspective of the old Zhu family, Zhu Houzhao's behavior is not only reasonable, but also legal.

This kind of thing is not a new thing, and almost every new emperor who ascends the throne must first clean up the remnants of the previous dynasty. These old people are old one by one, relying on the old and selling the old, occupying a large part of the resources in the court, usually the new emperor has no way to deal with them, so he can only solve the problem by cleaning up this violent way.

Zhu Houzhao's father, that is, Emperor Hongzhi did a thing when he ascended the throne that year, because the killing machine was too heavy, he found a reason, and Hongzhi Shengsheng subtracted the ministers in the court by two.

Twenty percent, this is not a small number, you must know how many officials are ranked in one court arch? And the Ming Dynasty still has to rely on them to maintain its operation.

Zhu Houzhao does not have the two strokes of his old son, so he must not have the scheming of Emperor Hongzhi, according to Li Yan's estimate, the reason why Zhu Houzhao can think like this is that Liu Jin's old minions must have said a lot of troublesome things.

According to Liu Jin's urine nature of the old slave, he must consider taking the position after solving this group of ministers, and he knew from the history books in his previous life that Liu Jin was in the position of Si Lijian, but now Si Lijian is in Xiao Jing's hands, and Liu Jin wants to snatch things from Xiao Jing's hands, I'm afraid it's not realistic. Xiao Jing was a eunuch of the Three Dynasties, and according to his qualifications, he was much older than Liu Jin.

Xiao Jing's strength is not covered, from the second year of Tianshun to the fifth year of Tianshun, he was quickly promoted to the right young eunuch. Yingzong doted on him and successively gave him python clothes, jade belts and a variety of treasures. On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Yingzong personally inspected the archery, pointed at him and said, "Do you know that you can write articles, and you can also shoot arrows?" ”

Xiao Jing immediately pressed the saddle and fired three arrows in a row, and Yingzong was very happy with the arrows, and from then on he cared more about and appreciated him, promoted him to a eunuch, a secretary of the supervisor, and gave Lu Mi a number of stones every year.

What's more, when Emperor Hongzhi was critically ill and orphaned, Xiao Jing was one of the four people he called, and to some extent, even if it was to entrust the prince to Xiao Jing, it would not be an exaggeration.

……

…………

The impeachment of the minister was in full swing, and a few days later, Li Yan went to the court for the first time.

According to Li Yan's rank, in fact, he does not have the qualifications to go to court every day, but with Zhu Houzhao's special approval, the ministers have no choice, and Zhu Houzhao is not allowed to interfere in major matters.

Li Yan is very happy today, I don't know why, he always feels like a wolf breaking into the sheep's nest today, and Zhu Houzhao is the referee, as long as he gives an order, Li Yan is immediately ready to fight.

Li Yan's idea is very simple, just come up with evidence to get some ministers to step down.

"Ministers see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

Everyone knelt on the ground and saluted Zhu Houzhao.

"The ministers have something to do, and they have nothing to retreat from!" The eunuch on duty opened his mouth and shouted.

Hearing this, none of the ministers came forward.

Zhu Houzhao yawned and glanced at the ministers below helplessly, this is the norm, it has to be staged once a day,

The ministers want to save face, so as the emperor, he must show the posture of his father who once asked some famous ministers to 'ask for three resignations'.

"Ministers, don't you have anything to do today?" Zhu Houzhao said helplessly.

"Your Majesty, Chen Hua, the servant of the Ministry of Ministers, has something to play."

In the crowd, Chen Hua, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, slowly came out of the ranks.

"Come on." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, not noticing his casual move at all, and Yang Tinghe, who was the first in the crowd, looked a little ugly.

All this was seen by Li Yan, and he secretly sighed in his heart, and secretly mourned for Yang Ting and Lord Yang for three minutes...... Being a teacher and teaching students to this point is also a great sorrow in life.

"Your Majesty, the minister saw that several city walls in the capital were damaged the day before yesterday, and asked Your Majesty to allocate silver from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to repair them." Chen Hua, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, said.

"Exactly." Zhu Houzhao replied without replying.

"Your Majesty, pay attention to your posture!" Yang Tinghe really couldn't stand it anymore, his beard blew and blew, and he lowered his voice and scolded.

Zhu Houzhao snorted reluctantly, then straightened his body and set his eyes on Li Yan.

"What, Li Yan, don't you have something to tell me? Hurry up and tell me what's going on? ”

Zhu Houzhao blinked his eyes, and his face was eager.

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, all the ministers immediately turned their eyes to Li Yan, the meaning is obvious, what do you want to say?

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao is like a little fox who is about to achieve his ambition, if it weren't for Yang Tinghe suppressing him, I'm afraid he would get carried away immediately......

Hearing this, the corners of Li Yan's mouth twitched, this little faint gentleman, good food is not afraid of late, good things are not afraid of slowness, what are you anxious about? Let's talk about what I want to do...... It's not a good thing!

Li Yan feels that he has nothing to love, he is not afraid of god-like opponents, but he is afraid of pig-like teammates......

Zhu Houzhao still had some smugness on his face, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him.

The ministers never looked away.

After glancing at Zhu Houzhao with a hidden white glance from the corner of his eye, under the common gaze of everyone, Li Yan took out a stack of letters, and then said a word very shyly. "That's what I'm going to say to Your Majesty, but it's better to come and see Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Zhu Houzhao almost jumped down from the dragon chair directly and went to pick up the things in Li Yan's hand in person.

"Ahem...... That, you, go and bring it to me. Zhu Houzhao couldn't sit on the stool anymore, and his buttocks were rubbing around on the dragon chair, very restless.

"Your Majesty! Pay attention to your demeanor! Yang Ting and an old face were green with anger, and reminded again.

This time, Zhu Houzhao didn't hum, but was very particular about doing it directly, but the expression on his face looked like 'I'll give you face this time'.

The eunuch on duty took the letter from Li Yan's hand, presented it to Zhu Houzhao, and got the letter, Zhu Houzhao, the little faint gentleman, didn't care at first, then was dumbfounded, and finally shot the case directly!

…… It's just that it tastes contrived no matter how you look at it.

"You, you're too nonsense, you actually greed so much silver behind my back, it's okay if you don't withdraw it?"

Zhu Houzhao said, and finally did not forget to add one more sentence.

"Li Yan, this matter is well done, I will remember your work!"
