"What?!" The nobles exploded when they heard this, and Xue Lu glared at the bull's eye and shouted: "Does the emperor not take the ancestral system in his eyes at all?" ”

"That is, the bones of the Emperor Daxing are not cold, and the emperor is not a son of man like this!" All the nobles echoed it, and for a while, they were filled with righteous indignation, and they wanted to go to the palace to find the emperor's theory. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The nobles were all action-oriented people who said they would go, and they immediately rushed out, and Wang Tong's son shouted behind him: "Let's look at the will...... but no one paid attention to it.

In the palace, Zhu Gaochi had lunch and was about to take a nap, but he heard the commotion outside the Qianqing Palace, he frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"Dozens of nobles gathered here, saying that they wanted to reason with the emperor." The eunuch hurriedly reported it.

"What kind of noisy and noisy thing is it," Zhu Gaochi felt irritable in his heart, and had to suppress his temperament, and said in a muffled voice: "Let them send a representative in." ”

After a while, Zhu Yong and Xue Lu came in, and after saluting Zhu Gaochi, the latter asked angrily: "Your Majesty, don't you also agree with what the old minister said at the court meeting, why did you turn your head and promote those university scholars!" After a pause, he said with a dark face: "Violating the ancestral system and going back on your word is not like what a human monarch does!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Gaochi's face was pale, and his hands on the dragon chair trembled slightly, and he had to use all his strength to prevent himself from exploding immediately. Zhu Yong was also secretly frightened, he didn't expect Xue Lu to be so bold, but he also knew that at this time, he must not back down in front of the emperor, so he said with a straight face: "Your Majesty, you owe the first emperor and his ministers an explanation." ”

"No explanation needed!" Zhu Gaochi finally couldn't help but slap the case again, and said angrily: "My will has been very clear, the university non-commissioned officers only have the same five grades, Yang Shiqi and others are just concurrently serving as Shangshu Shilang and other positions, and the ancestral system does not prohibit officials from working part-time, right?!" ”

"This ......" The two of them were dumbfounded when they heard it, and then they remembered that as soon as they heard the news, they ran over, and they didn't even look at what was written in the will.

"Why, you don't know?" Zhu Gaochi looked at the two of them coldly, the two nodded with difficulty, and the emperor slapped the case heavily, and said angrily: "Then what kind of coaxing is there here?!" ”

Zhu Yong and the two of them chatted for a long time, and Xue Lu said with difficulty: "Isn't this all the same......

"How can it be the same?!" Zhu Gaochi said coldly: "If they are not allowed to work part-time, then you will have to resign from your official position and honestly be your peace prince!" ”

"......" Zhu Yong and the others didn't dare to speak, if the emperor really called it true, wouldn't they want to beat the chickens and eggs.

"Hmph......" Zhu Gao snorted coldly, and said with a straight face: "You came just in time, I have something to inform you." As he spoke, he pointed to a decree on the table, and the eunuch on the side picked it up and read it aloud:

"Ordered the British Duke Zhang Fu to be in charge of the Central Military Governor's Mansion, Chengguo Duke Zhu Yong to be in charge of the Left Army Governor's Mansion, Dingguo Duke Xu Jingchang to be in charge of the Right Army Governor's Mansion, Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao to take charge of the former Military Governor's Mansion, Anyuan Marquis Liu Sheng to take charge of the Rear Military Governor's Mansion, An Pingbo Li to take charge of the Sichuan Metropolitan Governor's Office, the Chinese Military Governor Ren Li to take charge of the Guangxi Metropolitan Governor's Office, and the former Military Governor Ma Ying to the Later Military Governor's Mansion...... Qing and others are the first to honor the old, so they are entrusted with the humerus heart, one of which is the will to be worthy of duty! ”

Listening to the eunuch read out this will that concerns his body, how could Zhu Yong and the others still have the heart to entangle the matter of the university scholar again? They all pricked up their ears desperately, listening carefully to the appointments...... First of all, I was secretly alarmed by the magnitude of this change, unprecedented, almost all the key military positions have been replaced, although it is only a redeployment, but there is no doubt that the Ming military circle will be completely reshuffled.

Zhu Yong is okay, after all, as soon as he came up, he knew that he would be in charge of the Left Army Governor's Mansion, although it was far less prominent than the previous Rear Army Governor's Mansion...... The Governor's Mansion of the Later Army is in charge of the soldiers of Zhili and Shanxi, and the garrisons of the capital and the key land of Shanxi are all under its control, and their status is naturally higher than that of the other four Governors. But after all, it is a flat tone, although it is unpleasant, it will not be unbearable on the spot.

Xue Lu was very different, he was stunned until he heard the end, and he didn't hear about his appointment, and when the eunuch finished reading, he couldn't help but shout: "Your Majesty, why is the old minister not on the list?" ”

Zhu Gaochi looked at him expressionlessly and asked, "The old marquis is seventy this year, right?" ”

"The old minister is only sixty-seven, how can there be seventy?!" Xue Lu's expression was more ugly than crying.

"It's all pretty much the same. At this age, it should be a fool of the grandson and take care of the whole year. How can I bear to let the old marquis work too hard in his old age. Zhu Gaochi said lightly: "In the future, the old marquis will consult the national affairs, and let the young people do the specific things." ”

"You!" Xue Luqi's beard was straight, his red eyes pointed at the emperor, and he couldn't speak for a long time. In addition to the status of the nobles from the level of their own titles, more important is the weight of military power in their hands. This is the reason why the Duke of England is above the Duke of Dingguo. Xue Lu's status was originally inferior to that of several dukes, and now that he has no military power, I'm afraid he won't be counted among the marquises!

"There's nothing else to do, just step aside, I'm tired." Zhu Gaochi yawned and motioned for the two to leave.

"Your Majesty! You have been unfair to the minister! Xue Lu still shouted after all: "My eldest son died to save my grandson, and my younger son almost died to save you, you can't do this to our Xue family!" ”

"I have ordered someone to draft an edict and posthumously crown Xue Xun as a loyal and righteous marquis. Xue Huan will also serve as the commander of the Guangdong capital," Zhu Gaochi's eyes could not hide his disgust, and he said lightly: "Old marquis, is it appropriate to say this?" ”

"This ......" Xue Lu stammered again, he couldn't say, you haven't rewarded me yet! had to be dragged away by Zhu Yong in despair.

Looking at Xue Lu's depressed back, Zhu Gaochi's eyes were cold.

Outside the Qianqing Palace, a group of nobles were anxiously waiting for news, and when they saw Zhu Yong and the others coming out, they immediately greeted them. Seeing Xue Lu's appearance as if he was mourning, everyone knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Hey, let's talk about ......it when I go back" Zhu Yong helped the old Xue Lu, and beckoned everyone to leave with him while walking out.

"How can you just leave it like that?" The crowd still didn't understand.

"What can I do if I don't count, I don't even know the will, isn't it just looking for scolding?" Zhu Yong dropped a sentence and took the lead to leave. Everyone looked at each other, and they could only follow behind first and go out of the palace gate.

After going back, all the nobles knew Zhu Gaochi's ingenious curve to save the country, and with their martial arts, they really couldn't think of a way to refute it. What's more, their attention was all attracted by the drastic changes in the army, and they didn't care about entangling with Zhu Gaochi for a while.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi completely let go of his hands and feet, and in the next few months, with the cooperation of the cabinet and the six ministries, he abolished Zhu Di's tyranny on the one hand, and rehabilitated Fang Xiaoru and other Jianwen party members on the other hand. Yang Shiqi and others even really found out that Fang Xiaoru also had an uncle and younger brother named Fang Xiaofu who was still alive, and Zhu Gaochi really ordered to restore his original identity and ordered someone to give him land and let him go home to live and work in peace and contentment.

This series of radical acts naturally caused an uproar in the DPRK and China, and the civil officials sympathized with the old party in their hearts.

In this regard, Zhu Gaochi turned a deaf ear, but said openly in the court: "Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and Fang Xiaoru are all loyal ministers. If you don't rehabilitate them, who will sacrifice for me in the future? ”

The ministers were stunned when they said this, the generals were sad and indignant, and the civil officials also changed their faces one by one, and they couldn't imagine that the emperor would dare to say such a rebellious thing.

"Your Majesty!" Xue Lu, Marquis of Yangwu, broke the jar and fell, and immediately stepped forward, crying blood: "If Qi Tai and Fang Xiaoru are loyal ministers, then isn't the first emperor a traitor?" Your Majesty, aren't you the queen of traitors? What qualifications do you have to sit on this dragon chair?! "In the end, it's almost invective.

"Yes, Your Majesty, if they are loyal ministers, wouldn't it mean that the first emperor is killing Zhongliang, this crime is too big!" All the generals also chimed in, "Please take back these words!" ”

"One yard to one yard, each for its own master." Zhu Gaochi was unmoved, and said lightly: "The first emperor killed them, there is a reason for the first emperor, but if you kill them, forget it, don't harm your descendants......"

After ascending to the first month, Zhu Gaochi has already entered the state, and he will no longer be unable to come down from power by his courtiers like he did when he first came to the court.

"Since the emperor refuses to take it back, then we, the rebellious ministers and thieves, have no face to live in this world!" Xue Lu roared, suddenly jumped up, and threw himself forward.

"What are you going to do!" The Han general in charge of the guard screamed in surprise and hurriedly drew his blade to protect it!

However, Xue Lu's target was not the emperor, but the Danqi at the emperor's feet, and in the exclamation of everyone, he hit his head on the cold stone steps, and his brain collapsed, and the blood stained a large area of white marble.

Zhu Gaochi's face was also pale, obviously he couldn't imagine that Yangwu Hou was so violent......

The nobles hurriedly wanted to step forward to help, but they were separated by the Han general. A brocade guard stepped forward to inspect the Yangwu Hou who had no air intake, and after a while, he reported in a deep voice: "This person is dead......

The scene suddenly turned into a pot of porridge, and the nobles roared, scolded, and cried bitterly and wanted to pounce on Xue Lu, punching and kicking the Han general who blocked their way. At this time, no one dared to stand up and pursue them for the crimes of roaring at the court, disrespecting the king, and hurting the guards, so they could only let them vent......

The five scholars looked at the corpse of Yang Wuhou on the ground, as well as the grief-stricken nobles, and they all felt that the situation was going to be very bad......

"Hey, Your Majesty is really in a hurry...... the scholars sighed in their hearts, but they also knew why Zhu Gaochi was so anxious, in order to wait for this day, the emperor had been waiting for twenty years, and he had already lost his patience and collapsed his body...... He had to seize the day!

"Retreat from the ......" The voice of the eunuch finally sounded, Zhu Gaochi left the chaotic Fengtian Gate in a little embarrassment, but the shouts and shouts of the ministers became more and more violent, passing through the clouds and resounding throughout the city!
