With such a court and such a minister, it is indeed a very uncomfortable thing to be an emperor.

The Shoutang was originally full of festive halls, but it was completely destroyed by Huang Lusheng, Zhu Houzhao was very angry, but the old queen mother couldn't order him to be killed on her birthday, so she was so angry that she burst into tears.

Huang Lu did not relent: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because of the Lu of the king that the ministers are loyal to the king, and the ministers will never say anything about this matter." What the traitor sees in his eyes is only the sorrow and joy of his majesty, and what the loyal minister sees in his eyes is the sorrow and joy of tens of thousands of people in the world. ”

The words were beautiful, but several people in the hall snorted angrily on the spot, needless to say, it was naturally Liu Jin and Zhang Yong and other eight donkeys, and even Qin Kan's face was not very good-looking.

There are many weapons for civil officials, the words of the saints are weapons, the lessons of the rise and fall of the previous dynasty are weapons, and the words that profess loyalty are also weapons. It's just that you advertise that you are a loyal minister, and you insinuate that others are traitors, and today's court doesn't seem to need arguments to distinguish between loyalty and treachery, just a mouth of the minister is enough.

Liu Jin, who was wearing auspicious clothes, stood in front of the hall, his hands naturally drooping, and his waist was slightly rickety, looking at the appearance of a royal slave, but a pair of small eyes were staring at Huang Lu, and his eyes were full of murder. Today, the old queen mother has a birthday, and it is unlucky to kill, but ...... The old queen can't live every day, right?

Qin Kan doesn't like to kill people very much, but for this Huang Lu, he is happy to ask him to learn about Gonggong Liu's methods.

Isn't it a flaunt of loyalty? When you are a loyal minister, you have to have the consciousness of being killed by a traitor, and if you don't believe it, go below and ask Yue Fei how he feels about being victimized......

The civil officials in the palace were silent, and they did not express anything about Huang Lu's behavior. Obviously, what Huang Lu said is exactly what the civil officials think, and Huang Lu is not only speaking for himself today, but also for the civil officials.

Zhu Houzhao's mind is very messy at the moment, he wants to kill people, he also wants to cry loudly, and he wants to simply write an edict of abdication for the emperor, and many emotions are lingering in his heart.

"Huang Lu, what is the purpose of what you are talking about, many homeless beggars in Beizhili are freezing to death. My heart is also very painful. I have issued an edict for sin, allocated two pieces of silver, and dealt with relevant officials, and today you say this. What are you going to do? Zhu Houzhao held back his breath and asked slowly.

Huang Lufu said: "Your Majesty please reduce the amount of money in the palace." Allocate the treasury money to the provinces to open the shed. Food and clothing for the displaced people......"

"I promise!" Zhu Houzhao blushed and gritted his teeth.

These two things are not excessive, even if Huang Lu doesn't say it. Zhu Houzhao also had this plan, but when Huang Lu said it in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, the taste changed, and there was always a bit of persecution, and the minister took the initiative to speak, and it was rumored that the people of the world were full of praise, and the good reputation was all taken up by the minister, which highlighted how mediocre the emperor was.

"Your Majesty is benevolent and righteous, and the people of the world have thanked Your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao said coldly: "The people of the world are my people, and I don't need you to represent the people of the world." ”

"Yes, the minister will ask His Majesty to fast and bathe, burn incense to pay tribute to the poor beggars who died, and solemnly sin himself in front of the temple."

Zhu Houzhao's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Huang Lu, are you going too far? Do you know what kind of place the temple is? ”

"Your Majesty, the rivers and mountains are the rivers and mountains handed down by the ancestors, and Your Majesty is also the descendants of the ancestors.

At this time, as if hearing a signal, the civil officials of the full hall suddenly bowed down to Zhu Houzhao together, and said in unison: "The ministers respectfully ask Your Majesty to go down to the Taimiao to sin yourself." ”

In the crowd, Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and dozens of other ministers who were still loyal were a little hesitant and unbearable, but seeing that most of the civil officials knelt down, they also had to bow their knees.

The law does not blame the public, when the civil officials twist into a rope, such a powerful force is absolutely terrifying, and even the emperor has nothing to do with it. At this moment, it doesn't matter whether it's black and white, what matters is whose voice is louder.

Zhu Houzhao, who was weak and weak, burst into tears again, looked up at the top of the hall, and suddenly said quietly: "Don't you just want to be loyal and famous?" I...... To you guys! There is no need to sin yourself, I will issue an edict, and you will choose another meritocracy, and I will retire ......"

Before the word "abdication" could be spoken, an old woman's voice in the hall was heard: "Your Majesty! Shut up! ”

There are only three women in the palace, the Empress Dowager Zhang and the Empress Xia, as the saying goes, three women in a play, but it is obviously not them who sing today.

The ebony dragon head crutches slammed into the carpeted floor, and in the echo of the hall, the old queen mother was supported by the queen mother Zhang and stood up.

Slowly scanning the ministers in the palace, the old queen mother sneered a few times, and said: "They are all good ministers of the first emperor, women are not allowed to interfere in politics, Your Majesty was forced into such a situation by you, the mourning family can be regarded as invisible, but today is the birthday ceremony of the mourning family, and at this moment it is a mess by you, and the palace is not happy, what is your intention?" Talking about loyalty and righteousness, the old eyes of the mourning family are dizzy, why do you only see the palace full of charms, male thieves and female prostitutes? Look at the bright sky and white sky outside the hall, mourn the family and ask you, now in this world, can you still be surnamed Zhu? ”

These words were serious, and the ministers of the palace were so shocked that they fell to the ground and said in unison: "The old queen mother is angry, and the ministers are waiting for ten thousand deaths!" ”

The old queen snorted angrily and said: "The affairs of the imperial court, the mourning family does not talk much, you monarchs and ministers discuss it yourself, the birthday ceremony of the mourning family has been mixed up by you like this, do you want to die and mourn the family?" ”

"The ministers don't dare, the ministers are waiting for death!"

"Scattered! It's all scattered! Anyway, you didn't pay attention to the old bones of the mourning family, and buried them in the mausoleum early to accompany Emperor Xianzong! ”

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

The Queen Mother was so angry that her chest hurt, and she was helped back to the apse to lie down.

The ministers did not achieve their goal, and were driven out by the old queen mother, and walked out of the palace gate in silence one by one.

A festive birthday ceremony ended like this, the heavenly family was furious, and the ministers were not in a much better mood.

Qin Kan didn't leave, he waited outside the palace gate, quietly looking at the direction of the apse of Cining Palace.

Sure enough, after half a cup of tea, a little eunuch hurriedly walked over, smiled flatteringly when he saw Qin Kan, and said, "Master Hou, Your Majesty has summoned you, please let Master Hou go in with the slave." ”

Qin Kan smiled faintly, straightened his clothes, and calmly entered the hall.

The old queen mother's heart hurts, and she rests in the apse bedroom, and the queen mother Zhang has announced that the imperial doctor is treating the old queen mother.

In the warm pavilion on the east side of Cining Palace, Zhu Houzhao sat on the edge of the kang and cried, and Liu Jin, Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong and others knelt in front of him and cried with him.

Seeing Qin Kan walk in, Zhu Houzhao wiped his tears vigorously, stood up, and said angrily: "Qin Kan, I know that you have a way, help me think about it, I want to deal with these dog officials who have no king and no father!" ”

Qin Kan smiled calmly: "It's very simple, push Gonggong Liu out of the gang and cut it in front of the ministers, this is called killing a donkey and setting an example for monkeys......"

Everyone's faces are green: "............"

I don't know how to do it, Liu Jin, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't move his knees, but bounced up on the spot, and then fell heavily in a five-body posture.

Ignoring the pain, Liu Jin looked at Qin Kan in horror and hissed: "Qin Kan, did the miscellaneous family recruit you to provoke you?" ”

Qin Kanha laughed twice, patted Liu Jin's shoulder intimately, and said, "Don't be annoyed by Gonggong Liu, I'm joking, ease the atmosphere, I didn't see Your Majesty sad like this......"

Zhang Yong had the most no scruples, and he snorted and laughed gloating on the spot.

Liu Jin's face was greener, and he wanted to go crazy, but at this moment, His Majesty was in a bad mood, and Liu Jin was afraid that he would cause trouble for himself, so he glared at Qin Kan resentfully and stopped talking.

Zhu Houzhao, who was in the midst of grief and indignation, had tears on his face, but he couldn't cry or laugh: "Qin Kan, can you be serious?" ”

Qin Kan sighed: "Serious words are not good, Your Majesty, how many ministers knelt down today to ask Your Majesty to commit themselves in the Taimiao, have you counted?" ”

Zhu Houzhao said gloomily: "Do you need to count?" They all fell to their knees. ”

"One person or two, or even more than a dozen people, these are easy to punish, I am afraid of the words of the whole hall, Your Majesty does not blame the public, our civil officials of the Ming Dynasty have always been not afraid of pain and death, and they are not afraid of killing without fear, Your Majesty wants to severely punish the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, I am afraid it is not easy."

Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "Do you just watch them inch by inch and force me to retreat?" Qin Kan, I know that you have a lot of bad ideas, you must have a way. ”

Qin Kan rolled his eyes: "Your Majesty, the minister is a righteous man and a gentleman, where did the bad idea come from?" ”

Zhu Houzhao pointed at Qin Kan angrily: "Here we go again!" Here we go again! ”

When he shared his worries and hatred for Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jin was naturally unwilling to be left behind, so he smiled gloomily and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave thinks that the so-called civil officials are actually cheap bones, and it is natural to kill all the ministers in the palace, but if you kill more than a dozen leaders, the rest of the ministers will be honest, Your Majesty, the general secretary of the left Tongzheng Huang Lu has no king, and he made a big fuss about the old queen mother's Shoutang, so angry that the old queen mother is sick, this reason alone is enough for him to die hundreds of times, if His Majesty does not object, the old slave can order Xichang Fanzi to take him to the noon gate, Killed in front of the Manchu civil and military canes......"

Zhu Houzhao hesitated, but Qin Kan shook his head and said: "Gonggong Liu's words are inappropriate, if it is so easy to kill people, His Majesty will kill him early, kill Huang Lu, I am afraid that the ministers will make more trouble, even if it is suppressed by thunderbolt means, in the future, the monarch and ministers will deviate from morality, I am afraid that His Majesty will be more constrained, and the reputation of His Majesty will not be good......

Liu Jin glared at Qin Kan and said, "Does Master Hou have a way to govern them?" ”

"Yes."

The eyes of everyone in the warm pavilion lit up.

"How? Say it! ”

Qin Kan coughed and said, "Your Majesty, didn't the ministers ask Your Majesty to fast and bathe, and Taimiao is guilty of himself?" ”

"That's right."

"Your Majesty will promise them! But...... The so-called monarchs and ministers are of the same heart, His Majesty has sinned against himself, and the ministers are naturally inevitable, if you want to sin against your ancestors, everyone will go together! ”

Zhu Houzhao was confused: "What the hell are you thinking?" ”
