A group of courtiers who fled as if they had lost a battle slowly moved towards the Fengtian Temple, and from time to time there were one or two moans and sobs from the crowd, and the atmosphere was very oppressive and gloomy.

Walked into the Fengtian Hall with their hands in their hands, and each of them arranged their shifts, the civil officials and nobles were still glaring at each other viciously, and the smell of gunpowder had not been reduced much after a big battle just now, but it became more and more intense.

At the time of the cold confrontation, the emperor's chariot outside the hall slowly approached, the guard of honor was like a cloud, and the magic weapons were auspicious.

Zhu Houzhao, who was wearing a dragon robe of the Ming Yellow Regiment, entered the hall, and under the shrill voice of the eunuch on duty, the hundred officials knelt down to worship the mountain and shouted long live.

Zhu Houzhao sat on the golden dragon chair, cleared his throat, and habitually looked around at the ministers in the hall while saying the opening remarks of the court.

"Ministers, if you have a state affair, you may wish to ...... Hey? Poof! Wow, haha, haha, haha, ......" Zhu Hou took a look at the miserable situation of the ministers, and laughed very shamelessly.

"Did you meet the horse thieves outside the palace gates? Why do you look like this, Ha Luha, I ...... laugh to death."

Zhu Houzhao's wild laughter echoed in the Golden Palace, and the faces of the originally scarred civil officials became more and more ugly.

Thump!

The wounded ministers knelt down in twos and threes, and without warning they began to cry and cry.

"Please ask Your Majesty to be the master of the ministers!"

"Your Majesty's Mingjian, Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, bullied the weak, arrogant, and instigated the nobles to beat the ministers and others in front of the Chengtian Gate, the ministers are all important weapons of the country, how can they be so insulted, I beg Your Majesty to punish the Baoguo Gong and seek justice for the ministers!"

"Ahh Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo, stood up and glared at the civil officials viciously. said angrily: "The black and white are all justified by you, you sour Confucian rammers, pat your conscience and say, did you only get beaten and didn't fight back?" You can see for yourselves, most of the nobles are also injured, why don't they ask Your Majesty to call the shots? ”

The civil officials were furious, and there was another battle of words and swords above the Golden Palace, and the whole hall was noisy and shouting like a township market.

"Okay, okay, all quiet. Quiet! Zhu Houzhao shouted. Only then did the two sides of the quarrel stop.

Zhu Houzhao held back a smile, rubbed his chin and said, "I understood just now, the civil official and the honorable man fought, right?" The matter of punishing and punishing who will be put aside. I just wanted to ask. What are you arguing about? ”

I don't know if it's intentional. Zhu Houzhao obviously didn't open which pot to mention, and when it came to the reason for the fight, the civil officials and nobles began to breathe fire when they looked at Zhu Houzhao.

Yang Tinghe, who was beaten and had a blue nose and swollen face, stepped forward. Shen Sheng said angrily: "Your Majesty, you are embarrassed to ask!" If it weren't for ......"

"Poof!"

Zhu Houzhao saw that half of Yang Tinghe's eye sockets were black, and the right side of his face was high and swollen, squeezing a pair of originally bright eyes with only two thin slits left, and couldn't help but burst out laughing again.

Yang Tinghe was so angry that he wanted to hit the pillar: "Please be solemn!" ”

"Okay, good, I'm solemn, I'm sorry, I couldn't help but ...... the truth just now" Zhu Houzhao tried to hold back a smile, put on a solemn appearance, and tried to turn his eyes away and try not to look at Yang Tinghe's face, but when he turned his eyes, he saw that Liang Chu's old face was bruised and swollen like a king-sized bun, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help it again, and burst out laughing on the spot.

"Poof...... Wow, haha, ha......haha

"Mr. Yang, I ...... I've disappointed you again, no, you have to laugh for a while, it's too cola, Mr. Liang, how much are you hated, why are others greeting you in the face, it's so hateful......"

Zhu Houzhao laughed unscrupulously, the faces of the civil officials became more and more ugly, but the nobles also laughed with Zhu Houzhao, the laughter was full of malice, not only gloating, but also whispering judgment, which adult's face was beaten by whom, how strong was the strength at that time, how tricky the angle was, how pleasant the screams were, etc......

Yang Tinghe listened to the piercing laughter in the hall, and his old face gradually turned from green to green.

"Your Majesty, have you laughed enough?" Yang Tinghe burst out.

"Laugh...... Enough laughter, enough laughter. Zhu Houzhao finally stopped, and half-collapsed on the dragon chair without any manners, panting for breath.

Yang Tinghe said angrily: "Your Majesty, today's vicious fight in front of the palace is all because of Your Majesty's Majesty, Your Majesty has no shame, but Da Lu laughed out loud, the minister dares to ask Your Majesty, don't you think it makes the ministers feel cold?" ”

Zhu Houzhao smiled, his eyes narrowed: "What does the fierce fight in front of the palace have to do with me, I ask Mr. Yang for advice." ”

"If it weren't for the fact that you were messing around yesterday and issued more than 20 knighthood decrees in a row, how could the nobles be jealous and hateful, how could they be fighting with the civil officials? May I ask Your Majesty, why did you issue more than 20 knighthood decrees in a row? ”

Zhu Houzhao seemed to have been prepared, and snorted coldly when he heard this: "I want to ask Mr. Yang first, if the decree of knighthood does not go through the cabinet and the general secretary, will it take effect?" ”

"Of course not! It has been a rule for a hundred years for monarchs and ministers to rule the world together, how can Your Majesty decide state affairs because of your own likes and dislikes! ”

"Since it is invalid, it means that the decree that I issued is equivalent to a piece of waste paper? Since it is waste paper, I can send it as I want, can I say that I, the emperor, want to send a few pieces of waste paper now, and it depends on your face? ”

Yang Tinghe was furious: "Your Majesty, you are simply messing around and confusing the public!" How noble is the Emperor's Decree, how can it be said that it is waste paper? ”

Zhu Houzhao, who was expressionless, suddenly slapped the armrest, stood up suddenly, glared at Yang Tinghe fiercely, and shouted: "Since the holy decree is noble, why is my holy decree invalid when it leaves the palace gate?" I can't even get the title of a courtier who has made great contributions to the society, Mr. Yang, all the courtiers in the palace, don't you think it's contradictory when you say that the holy decree is noble and invalid at the same time? ”

These words made the hall silent in vain, and the needle drop could be heard.

"I have been on the throne for three years, and I have been the emperor for three years, and I have accumulated a lot of questions in my heart, each of you says that this world is mine, and you are loyal courtiers who are dedicated to helping me govern the country, but I have been thinking, whether this world is mine or yours, I am just an emperor of a palace, or an emperor who sits on all over the world, whenever I make a decision and want to do something, you rush up like a swarm of fierce opposition, it seems that I don't even have a mind about what decision I made, and when I open my mouth, I am opposed, As a result, you were happy and satisfied, and when you walked out of the palace gate, the people all said that you were loyal and upright ministers who were not afraid of power, and I, the emperor, lay under your feet, and became a stepping stone for your reputation for loyalty and integrity......"

Zhu Houzhao's eyes were red as he spoke, and he leaned back on the dragon chair extremely tiredly, crying: "Fellow courtiers, I am your monarch, not your enemy......" (To be continued......
