The atmosphere in the Fengtian Hall today was extraordinarily different, it was so quiet that even the breathing of people could not be heard in the overcrowded hall, and the faces of every minister were still full of anxiety, but no one dared to move their already sore and stiff bodies.

But Zhu Yousong is like a puppet as always, sitting quietly on the dragon chair in name only.

Today's hall is unusual, there are a lot of soldiers in armor, all over the hall, the Ming Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years, the monarch and the official and the military gather in the court for the first time, but at this time the court only has the military power left.

Emperor Hongguang passed down the decree early in the morning, ordering the hundred officials to discuss the proceedings in the hall today, and the Beijing officials above the third rank and the princes and nobles in Beijing shall not be absent and not allowed to take leave, otherwise they will be punished according to the decree.

Hundreds of officials arrived one after another, but Wang Lanping, the initiator of this matter, did not show up, he was dressed in military uniform, with a sharp sword hanging from his waist, standing outside the palace, as if he was a warrior guarding the palace.

The court hall that had been silent for a long time was finally broken, and the chief eunuch held the holy decree in his hand, and he forced a trace of calmness, and his voice was a little nervous and read, "I have been favored by my ancestors, and I have been enshrined in the unification, and since I ascended the throne today, I have been sighing all night, often thinking about the brilliant martial arts of my ancestors, and I am very ashamed, my ancestors are struggling to start a business, and the splendid rivers and mountains are handed over to me. Live up to the ardent expectations of the people, plan for the Ming Dynasty, and make a living for the people in the world, I want to repair war preparedness, train millions of troops, Weijia all over the world, rectify the internal dynasty, purge the rule of officials, and hope that the people will work with me with one heart and one mind, and spend the difficulties together, then I am very relieved"

After reading the edict that was sincere and willing to sin himself, the court was still silent, everyone was not only wondering, but even felt funny, training millions of soldiers, and pinching mud? Rectify the rule of officials, the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is rotten like this, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, I want to change, I am a fool talking about a dream, besides, the first assistant and the secretary of the military department are not there, how can they express their position, just listen to it.

In fact, this edict was written by Wang Lanping, and Zhu Yousong just asked the eunuch to read it according to the script, the purpose was to give Jingcha a preventive shot, to occupy a moral foothold, and to let everyone in the world know that Jingcha is not to suppress dissidents, not to be forced by the emperor to be helpless, and to make the officials have nothing to say.

After reading the edict, seeing that all the ministers were indifferent, the scene was very embarrassing for a while, and the emperor couldn't come to the stage, so the eunuch coughed a few times and reminded the officials.

Only then did the hundred officials pretend to be perfunctory, and said unevenly, "The emperor is shengming, and the ministers are ashamed!" ”

According to Wang Lanping's director, Zhu Yousong said to the ministers, "The rule of the Ming Dynasty has always been the most important thing for the emperors of the past dynasties, the rule of the officials is related to the rise and fall of our dynasty, most of you ministers are my ministers, but there are also many mediocre people, you are in a high position, but let the capable ministers who can revitalize the Ming Dynasty have nowhere to display their talents and learning, so that my country is ashamed, the ancestors can not bear to see, I can't bear to see, I mean, from today on, the implementation of the Beijing investigation, the officials in Beijing above the fourth grade are all measured, and the virtue, talent, and character of the ministers are evaluated, and the mediocrity is incompetent." I can't bear it if I bend the law for bribes and use power for personal gain, and I hope you will do it yourself."

As soon as these words came out, the whole dynasty was in an uproar, Jingcha, which dynasty had, but no matter which time this kind of Jingcha is a habitual trick used by the ministers to suppress dissidents, the Jingcha of the Ministry of Officials is also once every three years, which time is also a formality, and the high-ranking officials who fell in the Jingcha are all people who stand in the wrong line, and the officials in the court today are almost all the veterans of the Hongguang Dynasty, it can be said that they are the founding fathers, and the Jingcha them, is the emperor in the brain, do you really want to be a lonely person who betrays his relatives and leaves?

How can Zhu Yousong on the dragon seat have this courage, whoever calls himself now a gun for Wang Lanping, let him poke whoever he wants.

Despite the absence of Shousuke, this matter is a matter of everyone's interests, and some officials soon stood up against it.

The first of the cabinet ministers and the new ministers said, "Your Majesty, such a big event, why have the first assistant and the military department not arrived, and the cabinet has never heard of this?"

Zhu Yousong was covered with sweat, and said boldly, "I am the emperor, why can't I be arbitrary, I have been thinking about this matter for a long time, and the Beijing investigation cannot be delayed."

The Inspectorate Zuodu Yushi said, "Your Majesty, I am the ancestral system, where there are major national affairs, the emperor should make a decision after consulting with the cabinet, and now the cabinet is not there, and the auxiliary ministers do not know about it, so I respectfully ask the emperor to think twice and decide."

The official department Shangshu continued, "Your Majesty, the minister is in charge of the ministry, and he knows everything about the hundreds of officials in Beijing, and he can also be said to know very well, and the minister has never heard of anyone who is not honest, and I hope that the emperor will be aware of it, and he will not be bewitched by villains, and the friendship between the monarch and the minister."

The criminal department Shangshu said with a handful of snot and tears, "The emperor's move really made the ministers embarrassed, chilling, the ministers have read the sages since childhood, only know that they are loyal to the emperor and loyal to the Ming Dynasty, and the ministers have been loyal to the Ming Dynasty for decades, but they did not expect to exchange for the emperor's suspicions, the ministers have no shame to see the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, and they have no shame to stand in the court, and the ministers can only return to their hometowns to tell the old man, and they can not insult the Qingming"

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are crying and making a fuss, and they are more happy to watch the emperor's jokes on the sidelines.

made Zhu Yousong at a loss, and he couldn't say a word of rebuttal.

Wang Lanping heard it clearly outside the palace, and he was not in a hurry, Beijing checked the hundred officials, this is a major matter of heavy anger, the emperor has thick skin and solid flesh, let him bear this thunder.

Listening to this posture in the court, it was simply a group fight, the emperor fought the group of Confucians with his tongue, but the emperor didn't seem to refute a word, and he was all warn.

It seems that there is almost a lot of noise inside, and the emperor doesn't have the eloquence of the war group of Confucians, so don't embarrass him too much, Wang Lanping straightened his clothes and armor, and raised his chin at Song Xian on the side, meaning to look at how I am doing, Song Xian raised his thumb, grinned and nodded, meaning, okay, spirit.

Wang Lanping took off his sword and came to the door of the hall, and when the warriors inside saw him coming, they immediately straightened their waists and poked the spear in their hands three times on the floor.

Wang Lanping smiled all over his face and walked into the court, when Zhu Yousong saw him coming, he was a little secretly happy in his heart, you can be regarded as showing up.

Wang Lanping arched his hands to the officials on both sides as he walked, with a friendly smile on his face, "All colleagues, you are here, it's so lively" When he spoke, he had already come to the foot of the dragon chair steps, lifted his clothes and knelt down, and said with a hint of respect, "The minister inspected the city defense, suddenly heard the call of the Son of Heaven, and hurried over, asking the emperor to forgive the sin of the minister's slowness."

Zhu Yousong had long been speechless by these ministers, and he couldn't wait to retreat quickly, he got up and said gently, "Dingnan Marquis is exempt, military affairs must not be slack, what a crime"

"Emperor Xie, Your Majesty, before the minister entered the palace, he heard the sound of controversy in the palace, but there was an urgent report at the border gate?" Wang Lanping pretended not to know anything.

Zhu Yousong's face was embarrassed, "I, I am the ruler of the Qing Dynasty, and I intend to carry out the Beijing investigation and rectify the armament" He said while saying in his heart, you can really pretend, you can't hide at all, the black pot is all carried by me, you are really unbearable.

Wang Lanping smiled secretly and said in a lost voice, "The emperor's move, it is really a holy move for the benefit of the country and the people, the way of prosperity, the emperor is shengming, long live."

Such a straightforward double reed, many officials in the court immediately reacted, ten of the ** This is a play performed by the emperor and the Marquis of Dingnan, more than half of the ministers in this hall are directly or indirectly promoted by Ma Shiying, and some people are not Ma Shoufu's cronies and friends, but at least they follow the crowd, everyone knows that Dingnanhou and Ma Shoufu are in the same situation, then it is not difficult to imagine, as long as it is something that Wang Lanping approves, it must be for Lord Ma, but why should the emperor get involved, Was it coerced or did the emperor want to seize power from Ma Shoufu.

Zhu Yousong can be regarded as finding the steps down, "It's rare to be deeply conscious of Nanhou, but the hundred officials are puzzled, I have been unwell for the past few days, and it's time to take medicine again" After saying that, he beckoned to let the eunuch help him up, and turned around and went towards the apse.

"Waiting for the ministers to serve the emperor and take medicine" Wang Lanping was full of articles on the surface, walked up quickly, and helped Zhu Yousong to transfer to the apse.

Leaving a bunch of ministers looking at each other on the main hall, everyone is nervous in their hearts, Jingcha, this is a big or small thing, if it is a formality, then hello, I am hello, everyone, really want to be more real, I am afraid that this Manchu Dynasty civil and military will be empty, thinking of terrible things to speak for them, the first assistant Ma has not appeared, and now the hundred officials, like a group of pigs and sheep to be slaughtered, are secretly searching the intestines and thinking about whether they have any handle in the hands of outsiders.

There is not much time, Wang Lanping turned back from the apse, full of spring breeze, offended the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, that is almost against the world of Shilin, many of the ministers in the palace, many of them are highly famous, it can be said that they are protégés and help officials all over the world, however, this Jingcha is announced by the emperor when the dynasty is in charge, blame, scold the emperor to go up.

Wang Lanping stood on the stage, looked around at everyone, and his tone was very relaxed, "My lords, the emperor's dragon body is slight, it is inconvenient to sit for a long time, and he has returned to the palace to recuperate, this Beijing investigation, the emperor has ordered it to be tried in the next trial, and he is ashamed to be ashamed, this is really an errand that offends people, but the holy will is so, and he does not dare to resist the decree in the next, and please make it convenient for your lords, don't be embarrassed in the next, the emperor has a decree, and the Beijing investigation will start today, and all officials in Beijing are waiting to be investigated, and those who fail to pass the Beijing inspection will be opened immediately."

Among the officials, there are also many people full of literati integrity, such as the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Works, who is more than half a hundred years old, he seems to be not afraid of the armored warriors standing on both sides of the line, and he is also quite dissatisfied with Wang Lanping's style of acting, so he immediately squeezed out the righteous and awe-inspiring saying, "Dingnanhou, you are just a city defense general, Jingcha is a major matter of the officials, it is related to the country, why do you dare to override the hundred officials, if you really want to Jingcha, you have to send personnel from the Ministry of Officials, this is the practice of my dynasty."

Wang Lanping put his hands behind his back and said with a smile, "It turned out to be Lord Huang, disrespectful and disrespectful, didn't I say it just now, I am also reluctant, how dare I be a young junior from the army, how dare I override all the adults, the emperor wants Jingcha, what can I do, just obey the order, but since Lord Huang, you say so, I don't think you will object to Jingcha, then okay, you will take the lead, this Jingcha will start from your old age."
