Empress Zhou smiled slightly, her expression softened a lot, nodded lightly, took Emperor Chongzhen's hand and said, "As long as the emperor doesn't dislike the concubine and the old pearl yellow, it will be good to annoy the emperor!" ”

glared at Queen Zhou, there is no way in this era, she got married and had children at the age of fourteen or fifteen, and many people became grandmothers in their thirties. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen glaring at her, Empress Zhou sneered, she could feel Emperor Chongzhen's favor for her. After pondering for a moment, Empress Zhou opened her mouth and said, "Your Majesty, there is such a big commotion outside, what is the emperor going to do?" ”

Glancing at Empress Zhou, seeing that there was a trace of worry in her eyes, Emperor Chongzhen smiled, patted Empress Zhou's hand gently, and signaled her not to worry: "I am ready to deal with this matter when I announce the spread of the land." ”

"These people think that I will give in this way, but what they think is too simple!" Emperor Chongzhen sneered, waved his hand and said, "The queen doesn't ask about this, save yourself from worrying!" ”

Seeing that Emperor Chongzhen didn't mean to say it, Empress Zhou had no choice but to nod, but she still spoke: "The concubine hopes that the emperor will not use the sword lightly for the sake of the unborn prince!" ”

At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen understood what Empress Zhou was doing and persuaded himself not to make a big move?

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and nodded, he didn't want to ask who handed the words to Empress Zhou, but in this matter, Emperor Chongzhen had his own ideas, and it was difficult to change because of the persuasion of others, because Emperor Chongzhen knew what he was doing, and he knew what he was going to face.

Sending Empress Zhou out, Emperor Chongzhen turned around and walked back, and said to Wang Chengen, who was following him: "Hasn't the cabinet minister arrived yet?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it's already here!" Wang Chengen nodded and said in a deep voice.

Outside the palace gate, although it is the first month, the weather is still very cold, and the snow not far away has not yet melted. Today's weather is not bad, the sun is shining, and there is no wind, but it is still very cold, and I have a lot of breath when I am panting.

Some of the people kneeling there couldn't stand it anymore, their faces turned pale, their bodies trembled, and their bodies swayed from side to side.

Cao Li, the prisoner of the Guozi Prison who was kneeling at the front, couldn't move the fold at this time, and changed to another prisoner of the Guozi Prison, holding the same joint concert, waiting for Emperor Chongzhen to come and take the fold in and take a look at their opinions.

A group of people knelt on the ground, gritted their teeth, their eyes were resolute, and they insisted on the ideal in their hearts.

On the top of the palace gate, Emperor Chongzhen stood there with a blank face, overlooking this scene, and sighed softly.

"Why do you want to!" With a sigh, Emperor Chongzhen's gaze once again swept over these prisoners of Guozijian, they really knew what they were against? Do you really know why you're against it? Emperor Chongzhen didn't believe it.

Maybe the people who take the lead know why, maybe they understand what they're asking, but what about the others? They don't know anything.

"Your Majesty, did you tell them that we won't take the note for the time being?" Wang Chengen looked at the people below and said with a sigh of breath in his mouth.

Glancing at Wang Chengen, Emperor Chongzhen was noncommittal, it seems that everyone thinks that he is a little too ruthless? Including Wang Chengen? Emperor Chongzhen did not speak, and he had already moved to kill those who encouraged the prisoners of the country to come here.

But Emperor Chongzhen also knew that these officials kneeling below were probably not the ultimate behind-the-scenes promoters.

The driving force behind this matter is the squire, the big conglomerates, and the huge combination of interests formed in the name of the locality.

At this time, the cabinet ministers and officials headed by the six Shangshu also came, including the Dali Temple Zongren Mansion and other yamen. The leader was Shi Fenglai, the head of the cabinet, and as soon as everyone came over, they were immediately stared at by the kneeling people.

"Listen to me!" Shi Fenglai stood at the front and said loudly: "No matter what you have in mind or what you want to participate in, you need to write a good note, and then hand it over to your teacher, and they will hand it over to Your Majesty instead of you!" ”

"With a traitor like you deceiving Sheng Cong, how can our Tiao Chen get to the front of the emperor's dragon book case? We want to present the emperor! ”

"Yes, we want to present to the emperor, you are all traitorous ministers, traitorous ministers are in charge, blocking the way of speech, blinding Shengcong, you are sinners of the Ming Dynasty!"

Shi Fenglai's voice was directly suppressed by the shouting, and the next scene made Shi Fenglai have the urge to vomit blood, and in the team that followed him, someone actually stood up and directly joined the team kneeling on the ground.

The leader is the cabinet scholar Lai Zongdao, his attitude is very resolute, and the target is directly aimed at Shi Fenglai.

"Shi Fenglai, you deceived your superiors and deceived your subordinates, pointing to the deer as a horse, it is really a great crime, today we are going to face Emperor Chen and untie your face of treachery!" Lai Zongdao pointed at Shi Fenglai and scolded loudly: "Your Majesty, we are here!" As he spoke, he burst into tears.

After Lai Zongdao went over and knelt down, many of the ministers also followed, huhula and a large area, and at the same time followed Lai Zongdao and cried.

Emperor Chongzhen stood on the palace gate, listening to the shouts of the heavens, his face suddenly became gloomy, could it be that these people want to have another big ceremony?

There have been two crying incidents in the Ming Dynasty, the first time was when Xianzong, hundreds of officials cried in front of Wenhua Gate, fighting for the funeral ceremony of the Empress Dowager Ciyi, and Xianzong obeyed.

The second time was the great ceremonial event of the Jiajing period, which lasted for several years, and finally came to the time of Zuo Shunmen, which pushed the matter to a climax.

At that time, Yang Tinghe's son and champion Yang Shen said: "The country has been raising soldiers for 150 years, sticking to the righteousness and righteousness, and dying today." ”

Subsequently, Wang Yuanzheng, Zhang Chong and others stopped and retained the ministers in the south of Jinshui Bridge, and He Mengchun, Jin Xianmin, Xu Wenhua and others called on the ministers. Subsequently, more than 200 court ministers knelt at Zuoshunmen to ask Sejong to change his will. Both of these times were all crying pleas, and Wenchen forced the emperor to change his opinion and retract the struggle of his fate.

It's just that this two times, like this one, are not as simple as they seem.

On the surface, one reason is that in private it is for power, that is, the struggle between the monarch and the vassal.

During the reign of Xianzong, the ministers won the victory, and the emperor had to change his approach, and the ministers praised Xianzong. But is Xianzong willing? Of course not, Xianzong established an organization that was notorious in the history of the Ming Dynasty: Xichang!

At the same time, a very famous eunuch Wang Zhi of the Ming Dynasty was appointed, so that he could be ranked alongside Liu Jin, Wang Zhen, Wei Zhongxian, and become a famous eunuch in the Ming Dynasty.

Although the ministers won the victory, but the price paid was also painful, as for the time in the Jiajing period, on the surface it was a debate about the great etiquette, but in fact it was a struggle between the old vassal faction and the newly enthroned imperial faction, and the emperor was rewarded for his extremely strong hand and attitude, and won a complete victory.

On that occasion, Jinyiwei arrested eight people, imprisoned 134 officials below the fifth rank and tortured them, and suspended 86 officials above the fourth rank from their posts and awaited their crimes. In the end, Ming Shizong ordered officials above the fourth rank to stop, and officials below the fifth rank to be responsible for the court cane, and a total of 16 people died because of the court cane.

There were many incidents of the Ming Dynasty storming the palace gate, such as the palace transfer case of robbing the prince, but it was all to protect the emperor, and these two times it was to force the palace.

At this moment, half a year after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty broke out in a forced palace.

There are naturally many smart people among the ministers, and Sun Chengzong, who is standing behind him, is very helpless at this time, he knows that things are getting bigger. With the addition of these officials, especially cabinet ministers, things got out of hand and began to transition in the direction of grand ceremonies.

Glancing at the palace, Sun Chengzong's heart was uncertain, which one in the palace would take what kind of attitude?

Standing on the palace gate, Emperor Chongzhen naturally saw all this in his eyes, and his face became colder and colder.

"Hasn't Founder come yet?" Emperor Chongzhen looked left and right, and said in a deep voice: "I can't find him when I use him, what's the use of me asking him to be him?" If you don't come back, you don't have to keep your head, just cut it off and throw it underneath! ”

Fang Zhenghua, who had just run up, heard Emperor Chongzhen's words, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the slave is late!" ”、

"Did you bring someone with you?" Turning his head, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Fang Zhenghua and asked in a cold voice.

"Back to the emperor, I brought people here, the slaves and maids brought two hundred Dongchang fans, and returned three hundred brocade guards, and now everyone is below." Fang Zhenghua tried to calm his breathing, lowered his head and said.

Hearing that Fang Zhenghua had prepared people, Emperor Chongzhen's face softened slightly, and he didn't scold Fang Zhenghua.

Emperor Chongzhen glanced at Wang Chengen and felt that the time was almost up, so he said, "Go!" Go down and tell them, let them go back and write a good note, and then send it to the place where it should be delivered, and disperse! It's so cold, a few are freezing to death! ”

Wang Chengen nodded, and also breathed a sigh of relief, as long as things eased up.

Watching Wang Chengen go down, Emperor Chongzhen shook his head: "I let them leave, they won't leave, they are all here, how can they go back so easily?" ”

Coming below, Wang Chengen saw Shi Fenglai, who was like a mourning examiner, and wanted to say something to comfort this cabinet scholar, but after thinking about it, Wang Chengen didn't know what to say, so he simply didn't say anything, just handed Shi Feng a comforting look.

"There is an oracle!" Wang Chengen shook off the dust in his hand and said loudly.

Suddenly, all the people around knelt down, and they all fell silent, waiting to listen to Wang Chengen's decree.

"You are loyal to the king's heart, I have already known, but the etiquette should not be wasted, you want to undertake, there are official positions, go back to write a good note, send it to the political secretary. The prisoner of the celebrant supervisor, write a note and hand it to the doctor of the celebrant eunuch, kneel here, it will damage the prestige of the court, and disperse! (To be continued.) )
