The lawlessness of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, the successive dynasties have never seen such an arrogant and domineering courtier, which is the conclusive cognition of countless experts and scholars in later generations.

The game and struggle between the monarch and the ministers, only in the Ming Dynasty is so naked and plain, the monarchs and ministers seem to be too lazy to do even the most basic kung fu of yang and yin, the relationship between each other is like an enemy, sometimes they have to twist into a rope to cooperate, more often it is to compete with each other, to people or things, love is love, hate is hate, clear and clear, just one point.

The cabinet system is a good system, the power of the ministers is too large and also carries a bit of the democratic taste of later generations, to the greatest extent to avoid the sovereign power after the dictatorship of the disaster of the country and the people, if the monk who recites the scriptures does not read this good scripture crookedly, the Ming Dynasty must be more brilliant than the strong Han Dynasty in time, but unfortunately, although the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty curbed the expansion of the monarchy, but they themselves swelled up.

The reason for this situation is not entirely on the civil officials, the old Zhu family since the Yongle Emperor after several emperors also have unshirkable responsibility, I don't know if there is something unspeakable in the harem of the Yongle Emperor, the emperor after Yongle is particularly weak, not at all like Taizu and Yongle to kill decisively, but one more than one cowardly, put aside Taizu Yongle in that era, the ministers are as obedient as a quail trembling in the cage, for fear that one day the emperor will look at him unpleasantly and take him out of the cage and slaughter him, Like this, the emperor returned to Beijing victoriously and none of the ministers went out of the city to greet him, and he didn't dare to do this.

To tell the truth, Emperor Yongle should have sent someone to check next door outside the palace to see if there was an uncle Wang next door outside the palace. The genes of the old Zhu family were planted......

…………

Zhu Houzhao was very angry and angry, but he was helpless. He is the emperor of life and death, but he doesn't dare to do anything to the civil officials, because he is the product of the civil officials, and he also lacks the brutal and murderous genes of Taizu and Yongle in his bones.

Qin Kan is different, his predecessor was Xiucai, but he is not, he has not even read the four books and five classics, and he also has a very good advantage. That is to be as lawless as a civil official.

Zhu Houzhao's handsome young face was fanned by Qin Kan's few words. Suddenly flushed with excitement, at this moment he also felt that it was not a good choice to swallow his anger, Jingshi really owed him a grand welcome, and he deserved it.

"Qin Kan. You're right. I should have entered the city in the midst of the cheers of the multitude. It was not in this humiliating and depressing way that I won the battle and deserved such courtesy! Zhu Houzhao clenched his fists.

Qin Kan said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is right. The royal drive is in person, the universe is swaying, the victory returns to Beijing, and the subjects cheer, this is the courtesy that a generation of heroic emperors should get. ”

"Qin Kan, what do you say?"

Qin Kan smiled coldly, bowed down and said, "Please go down to the palace and sit down, within an hour, your majesty will be able to see the cheers of the people." ”

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Qin Kan deeply and said, "I've handed everything over to you." ”

After speaking, Zhu Houzhao flicked the sleeves of his robe fiercely, turned around and went back to the chariot.

Qin Kan smiled and watched Zhu Houzhao board the chariot, then straightened up, his smile still didn't change, but there was a familiar evil smell in his smile.

Ding Shun stepped forward. Qin Kan called lightly.

A vigorous figure soon appeared in front of Qin Kan.

"What does Grandpa command?"

Qin Kan looked at the shrewd but sleek smiling face in front of him, and said lightly: "Go and do two things for me." ”

Ding Shun straightened his waist: "Kill people and set fires, grandpa just give the order." ”

*******************************************************************

The inner city of Beijing, the cabinet university scholar Liang Chu Mansion.

At this moment today, the Liang Mansion is very lively, from the middle of the court to Li Dongyang, Yang Ting and two scholars, down to the six Shangshu attendants, all gathered in the front hall of the Liang Mansion, the size of about 100 people, the scale is equivalent to a small court meeting.

All the civil officials looked solemn, all wearing court clothes, a posture of going to the golden hall of the court at any time, Liang Chu is the master, sitting in the first place in the front hall, his eyelids are not raised, and he looks straight ahead with an expressionless face.

Yang Tinghe was quite restless, and wanted to stand up several times, looking at the civil officials who were full of solemn silence, he hesitated for a moment, and had to remain motionless.

Li Dongyang lowered his head and casually blew the tea in the teacup in his hand, and the heat was rising, as if a layer of fog was pulled between everyone and him, and no one could see his expression clearly.

What is strange is that Qin Kan's old father-in-law, Zuodu Yushi Du Hong, was also sitting in the hall, with a bitter and hesitant face, and a trace of helplessness. Du Hong is Qin Kan's father-in-law, but he is also a civil official of the Ming Dynasty, at this moment, everyone is determined to let the little faint monarch who returns to Beijing touch a nail, Du Hong has to stand on the side of the civil officials clearly, otherwise he will be the head of the imperial history of the left capital.

The values of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty have been seriously distorted, and the standard for judging loyalty and treachery is to provoke the emperor to be angry if there is something to do, but today I don't know who started to advocate it, since someone advocated that the emperor must be provoked today, whether this matter is black or white or evil, the first civil official did this, and other civil officials could not help but do it, which is obviously an indiscriminate absurdity, but the civil officials feel very good about themselves, they call this "not afraid of power" 。

In the final analysis, the civil officials have to blame the old comrade Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang for this problem, and look at how many madmen he created in the eight-strand literary examination system back then.

The silence in the front hall lasted for half an hour, and everyone present had their own thoughts.

In fact, most civil officials want to be promoted and make a fortune, and if you want to be promoted and make a fortune, it is best not to offend the emperor, today's play is not everyone's will, most people are kidnapped by the so-called "straight name", it is too difficult to get the best of both worlds, don't want to be famous.

If you want to be promoted and make a fortune, you can hug the emperor's big thick legs with an old face. Although the official has been promoted, his reputation is completely stinky, and he is ostracized everywhere, no matter how big the official is promoted, what can he do under the hostility of the Manchu Dynasty? How many officialdom allies can you form? But if there is the slightest mistake in the future, there are more shoe prints on his face than Master Huang's Foshan shadowless feet, which is also the reason why all the civil officials did not dare to appear outside the city to greet the holy car today, since they want to be famous, no one dares to ask for profit anymore.

Yang Tinghe is the youngest in the cabinet, and he can't hold his breath. It's a bit of a serious matter today. If His Majesty is furious, it will be the Cabinet that will be the first to be unlucky.

"Duke Liang, although he can't get used to His Majesty's temperament, he will take precautions for restricting His Majesty's temperament from leaving Beijing easily in the future. But whether it is the ancient Zhou rites or the ancestral system of this dynasty. When the royal driver returned to Beijing, we as courtiers still had to go out of the city to greet us. If we don't welcome it, we courtiers are afraid that we will be laughed at by the world's scholars......"

Liang Chu's eyelids lifted, and soon drooped again. He sighed wistfully.

Liang Chu is also bitter, he can only be bitter in his heart, the cabinet is all old people who have been through the storm for a long time, how can he be so ignorant of etiquette? However, the civil officials below set off a storm, and if the cabinet did not respond, I don't know how many people would be scolded as a lackey of power, and I don't know how many people would post big-character posters in the middle of the night, and in the end, he was also kidnapped.

Li Dongyang was the only one present with the most indifferent expression, always looking at the excitement casually, and even with a somewhat unfathomable smile on his face.

Li Dongyang is indeed qualified to watch the excitement, because he is about to give office, and after Zhu Houzhao returns to Beijing, he will officially submit his resignation, so no matter how stormy the court is, everything has nothing to do with him.

An angry shout resounded in the front hall, but it was the Ministry of Works.

"The faint monarch personally conscripted, the people lost money, and the army's honor guard cost half of the national treasury, not to mention, in the battle to quell the rebellion, he left the monarch and disregarded it, and led a thousand guards to personally charge the battle to kill the enemy, the son of Wanjin is so contemptuous and self-deprecating, leaving the country and the society behind, what face does he have to ask our courtiers to go out of the city to greet him when he returns to Beijing today? Did he think that winning a battle would tell the whole story? It's ridiculous! ”

No matter what they thought in their hearts, all the civil officials present nodded in agreement.

Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu glanced at each other, smiled bitterly and sighed silently.

Hu Bo's remarks are the most representative idea of all civil officials, a victory in a battle does not explain anything at all, the pro-conquest of the people and money, and the recklessness of rushing into battle to kill the enemy regardless of safety and danger, have enough to offset all the merits of Zhu Houzhao, and in the eyes of the civil officials, Zhu Houzhao's pro-conquest is too much more than merit.

Yang Tinghe sighed: "Having said that, the ancestral system is ......"

Da Ming's official grade is not high, but one is more arrogant than the other, Hu Bo immediately interrupted Yang Tinghe's words, and said categorically: "Da Ming has not reached the point of life and death, the Son of Heaven has violated the ancestral system, and it is even a joke in the eyes of the world. Hu has read the sage book for so many years, but the sage has never taught Hu such a flattering knowledge! ”

As soon as Hu Bo's words fell, the audience applauded.

Yang Tinghe shook his head and stopped talking, besides, he would arouse the anger of the public, and if Yang Tinghe didn't want to make his reputation stink, he could only choose to shut up.

Liang Chu squinted at Li Dongyang, stretched out his hand and touched him lightly, and whispered: "Mr. Xiya, you are the elder of the Four Dynasties, you can say something." ”

Li Dongyang raised his head and snorted without smiling: "Mr. Houzhai, is this asking the old man to come out and be spitted on?" The old man is about to get old, how can he have the energy to care about such idle things? You naturally have your reasons for not welcoming the holy driver, the old man can only happily obey, but he can't be a pawn on the horse......"

Liang Chu froze for a moment and glared at him hatefully.

Li Dongyang stroked his white beard lightly and said slowly: "You don't have to worry about the Son of Heaven, but don't forget that there is another person next to the Son of Heaven, who is angry with him, you will be disgraced in this matter today, there are many people here who have been cheated by him, right?" ”

As soon as Li Dongyang finished speaking, there was a rush and panicked footsteps under the corridor in the front hall of the Liang Mansion, which squeezed the hearts of everyone in the hall tightened.
