In the morning, as soon as the thick palace gate of the Forbidden City is opened, you can see the snow-capped world outside the red wall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Zhu Youxiao came out of Hui Concubine's room, gave a few words of advice and went to the dragon chariot, rubbed his red hands and put them into the Ming version of the warm baby, his nose kept coming out of a puff of white gas, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was sleeping, but his thoughts had unconsciously shifted to the government.

Yushi Du Yihong is a student of Zhou Daodeng, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, but he is a fellow villager and a fellow villager of Dongge University, Zhou Yanru, and is also a relative of Cui Chengxiu, a scholar of the Ministry of Officials, but the relationship is very complicated.

This day is the day of the big rise, the courtiers have come to the Qianqing Palace early to wait, the cabinet chief assistant Qian Qianyi since the loss of children and grandchildren after the root is more and more pure-hearted, every moment will wear a string of Buddhist beads to read a few verses, saying that things pray for the emperor, pray for the Ming Dynasty.

Lu Xiangsheng, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, supervised Liaodong and was not in the capital, while Xu Guangqi, a scholar of Wenyuange University, was a complete technical nerd, and he was not a year-end dynasty and devoted himself to his research at the Royal Academy of Sciences. Therefore, under Qian Qianyi, the intermediate palace scholar Li Mingrui, who has just returned from his southern tour, Li Mingrui is now a saint, and his status is not much lower than Qian Qianyi, and even better than Qian Qian in the eyes of the civil official group.

After all, Qian Qianyi has been notorious in Confucianism since he burned Donglin Academy, and although Li Mingrui also did a lot of things that harmed Confucianism and Wenchen during his southern tour with Zhu Youxiao, compared to Qian Qianyi, a rebellious minister, he was insignificant, and the civil officials hated Qian Qianyi even more.

Li Mingrui sat on the Taishi chair and didn't say a word, this was the first time he went to the court since he returned to Beijing, and the courtiers who came to set up close to him one after another, but he just smiled, and when he glanced at Qian Qianyi, the head of the cabinet who had no beard under his chin, he happened to hear Zhou Yanru whisper from the side: "Let a eunuch be the head of the civil ministers, what is the difference between it and Si Chen, why don't you replace it?" ”

Although the decibels of this sentence were extremely low, they exploded in Li Mingrui's ears like thunder, Li Mingrui suddenly stood up, looked at Gujing Wubo, as if nothing had happened, and Zhou Yanru, who was in close communication with the right attendant of the Criminal Department, was about to come up and whisper a few words of vigilance, but heard the voice of the eunuch in front: "The time has come!" ”

Li Mingrui had no choice but to give up and went to the main hall one after another with other courtiers.

Zhu Youxiao's biggest headache is to deal with the civil and military ministers who are full of thoughts in the court, many times, the ministers are not really exactly the same as their own ideas, they have their own selfishness, they have their own factions, although they eradicated the Donglin Party, and also established the Royalist Party, but the royalist group has emerged several mountains.

If it weren't for Du Yihong's sloppy incident, he wouldn't have known that the water in this court was already so deep, and with his current right to speak, it would be enough to casually let Du Yihong and other masterminds behind the scenes suffer the catastrophe of annihilation, the disaster of the nine clans, and deter those selfish ministers who invite direct names under the pretext of excuses.

But he may fall into the trap of a few civilian factions and become a tool for them to use against their political opponents.

Compared with the Donglin Party, they are not good, and they are even more cunning and treacherous than the Donglin Party.

With a red robe and a crane brocade embroidered on his chest, this is the bureaucrat he is now controlling, looking dignified, temperamental, loyal and reliable. But they have their own thoughts, their eyes are like eagles and falcons, and their ears can move because of the wind.

"Who is Du Yihong?" Zhu Youxiao asked, and a short and fat man who looked loyal, had a flat and dark face like coal, and was only five feet tall: "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is Du Yihong." ”

The voice is like a bell, full of energy, and he is neither humble nor arrogant, and he is not afraid of the anger in Zhu Youxiao's eyes.

Zhu Youxiao was also quite restrained, and took out his recital very calmly, unfolded it, read a few words, and asked, "Let me ask you, can you prepare a coffin for yourself?" ”

Coffin? Zhu Youxiao's sentence really made the uninformed ministers very confused, but there were also ministers who reacted quickly and guessed the meaning of His Majesty's words, during the Jiajing period of the National Dynasty, Hai Rui admonished the emperor and brought his own coffin has been rumored to be a good story, and now His Majesty's meaning of asking is obvious, that is, the imperial history in front of him has done the same thing, that is, to insult the monarch's father!

Du Yihong naturally understood what Zhu Youxiao meant, and he had a righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor, and bowed his hand to Zhu Youxiao: "Back to Your Majesty, Wechen has never prepared a coffin, Wechen is a person with thin virtue and shallow blessings, even if he has a coffin, he can't go to the Western Bliss." ”

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help sneering and said: "You have a reputation for self-knowledge, let me ask you, you said above that I am obscene and lustful, and if you go to Jiangnan, you are either nostalgic for Qinhuai Geji, or you have a private meeting with the daughter of a good family, but it is true." ”

"Your Majesty knows that above the court, Weichen does not dare to talk about the fault of the monarch's father", Du Yihong said that it was vibrant, neither explicitly said that these were true, nor denied it, but the meaning was whether it was true or not, Your Majesty, you yourself clearly understood.

"You!" Zhu Youxiao was also a little angry, thinking that this Du Yihong was very good at answering, and he choked himself speechless for a while, while the other ministers were also silent, and they couldn't express their position, because Du Yihong's answer didn't give them a chance to express their position at all.

"Du Yihong, do you know who you are talking to, I went on a tour to worship the filial piety tomb, but you said that it was a trip to find Fang, disturbing the people, who are you listening to, I want to answer truthfully!"

Zhu Youxiao suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a cold voice.

Du Yihong also had a solemn face, he naturally knew how His Majesty the current emperor was a tough person, and he also knew what would happen to him once he disobeyed Long Yan, but he still chose to speak out against the king, he wanted to let this brutal king who slaughtered Confucius and trampled on Confucianism realize the iron backbone of his literati, at least let the future prince see how His Majesty treats the loyal and martyred ministers today, and how he should make up for this mistake. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is not instructed by anyone, Your Majesty wants to really force the minister to tell the behind-the-scenes instructions, and there is only one behind-the-scenes mastermind of the minister!" Du Yihong replied.

"Say", Zhu Youxiao stared at this person fiercely, and then looked at the other officials standing on the dry shore, and guessed that if he suppressed Du Yihong's arrogance today, he was afraid that more and more civilian officials would take the opportunity to provoke him to achieve his political goals.
