The day after Zhu Honghua officially ascended the throne, that is, on September 2 of the first year of Ming Honghua, the emperor's second court meeting began.

In the Mingde Palace, Emperor Zhu Honghua sat on the dragon chair, and Empress Li Fangnan sat aside.

The thirty-two-year-old emperor is sacred and majestic, and the thirty-one-year-old queen is the mother of the world.

Hundreds of officials worship, long live the mountain.

The second is Zhu Zhaowan, the only female official and the only county lord in the Ming Dynasty.

The fourth is Liu Xingchao, the deputy head of the inner court and the supervisor of the forbidden army. It was he who led us to make trouble in Chang'an.

The fifth is Zheng Xuangong, the deputy supervisor of the forbidden army, who is still wearing his small glasses and is sick. Unremarkable, never factional.

The sixth is Ma Jiahui, the head of the crown ministry when Zhu Honghua was the crown prince and the current eunuch.

The seventh is Li Feiyu, the superintendent of the forbidden army. A solemn face.

The eighth is the royal high priest Ye Anyi. The white robe is still as conspicuous as ever.

-

There are more than a dozen familiar faces missing from the ministers, because they are recognized Zhao Guangxin's forces, some have committed suicide, some have run away, and some have followed Zhao Zhengbao to rebel.

-

-

After the mountain shouted long live, Emperor Zhu Honghua waved his hand: "Flat!" ”

Sun Haomiao, the head of the military department, hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I got the news last night that Beijing Yanjing has been captured by Zhao Zhengbao's rebels! ”

The house was in an uproar!

The Emperor said slowly, "Got it! We'll talk about this later, but today we'll talk about the emperor. ”

The emperor suddenly understood something and shouted: "What did you say? Captured? Didn't you say a few days ago that you could keep it for three months? ”

Sun Haomiao didn't speak.

The emperor shouted: "What did the Hebei army do? Two million troops! ”

Sun Haomiao still didn't speak.

The emperor was furious: "What about you! What about the Hebei Army? ”

Sun Haomiao: "The Hebei army has rebelled!" It's them attacking Yanjing! ”

The Emperor was even more furious.

The hall was silent.

After a while, the emperor's face softened, and he said slowly: "Anyway, it's also captured!" Hebei is just a province, see me go back and clean it up. ”

He straightened his posture and said word by word: "This matter is a long-term consideration!" ”

Li Yongfu, the head of the inner court, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Yan and Zhao merge, this is raising tigers for trouble!" You should take advantage of the rebel ......"

Emperor: "Alright! I know this! ”

Li Yongfu: "The forbidden army has 10,000 garrisons in Luoyang......"

The Emperor exclaimed, "All right! We'll talk about that later! ”

-

-

The emperor cleared his throat and said, "Let's talk about the emperor first." Father can't just die! You say, how did the first emperor die? ”

Ma Chaoque, the chief imperial physician of the royal family, stood at the end, trotted forward at this time, and said: "The emperor has not eaten food for many days, his body functions are weak, and many organs have failed, causing cardiovascular hemorrhage. ”

The emperor glared: "Say so much, just say that you are starving to death!" Give me back the text and drag the text crepe! ”

The emperor slapped the dragon chair angrily: "Of course I know that the emperor is starving to death!" Ten days, ten days! I persuaded the emperor to eat every day, but he just wouldn't eat! He is determined to starve himself to death! I watched His Majesty lose weight little by little, and finally vomited a mouthful of blood and died! ”

The corners of his eyes moistened.

The emperor wiped the corner of his eyes with his dragon robe and said, "Of course I know that he starved to death, what I want to know is, why did he starve to death?!" Tell me and see! ”

After waiting for a while, no one spoke, and according to the custom, it was time for the head of the inner court or the prime minister of the outer court to speak, because they were the representatives of the court.

Prime Minister Li Guozhong said: "Because the first emperor misses the queen and the princess. ”

Emperor: "So, how did the Empress and the Princesses die?" ”

Li Guozhong: "Because the queen's father, Prime Minister Zhao, died, the prime minister's son also died, the second son entered Sichuan, and the third son rebelled." ”

Emperor: "Why is that?" ”

Li Guozhong: "Because someone impeached Prime Minister Zhao." ”

Emperor: "What is the crime?" ”

Li Guozhong: "The initial crime was 'monopolizing power, committing the following crimes' and the like, but later it was specific, saying that Prime Minister Zhao sent someone to assassinate the crown prince by someone pretending to be the crown prince - that is, Your Majesty." ”

Emperor: "Who impeached you?" ”

Li Guozhong: "Li Changsheng, Minister of Officials, Yang Shunzhong, Minister of Households, Guo Dingguo, Deputy Minister of Officials, Sun Haomiao, Minister of the Military Department, Feng Yingyi, Director of the East Factory, Li Youdao, Director of the Secret Department, and Li Chenjun, Minister of Education, ......"

Every time the prime minister said a person, he pointed at him and pointed at dozens of people in one breath!

The whole hall was in an uproar!

What's the situation?!

What is this doing?!

-

-

Who is this going to cleanse?!

Do you want to rehabilitate the old prime minister?!

Do you want to purge half of the court?!

The whole hall quarreled!

Yang Shunzhong, head of the household department, said: "...... cough cough cough ...... cough cough cough ......"

Guo Dingguo, deputy minister of the Ministry of Officials, held his head high and did not speak.

Minister of the Military Department Sun Haomiao: "He conspired against him!" Shouldn't it be impeached?! ”

The people below were arguing.

……

-

-

Prime Minister Li Guozhong said loudly: "It is these people who impeached Prime Minister Zhao, and Prime Minister Zhao is upright and upright, and he will die clearly." There must be something hidden in this matter! ”

The hall is noisy!

Someone said: "Zhao Guangxin conspired to rebel, and the evidence is conclusive." ”

Someone said: "All the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty did not look at him pleasing to the eye." ”

Someone said, "Maybe he's not doing it right!" For the sake of Daming, the method is not good, but the purpose is good. ”

Someone said: "The minister also thinks that the prime minister is innocent." ”

Someone said: "Prime Minister Zhao has done his best for the court and died!" ”

……

Someone even began to kneel and kowtow!

Damn it! Do you really want to rehabilitate Zhao Guangxin?!

-

-

Li Yongfu, the head of the inner court and the commander of the forbidden army, stood up.

Li Yongfu: "Your Majesty, these people are just loyal to the country, and the impeachment of Prime Minister Zhao Guangxin is also for the sake of the Ming Dynasty." ”

Prime Minister Li Guozhong looked at him and said, "Does the Governor agree to impeachment or oppose impeachment?" ”

Li Yongfu: "Me? I didn't speak, and I didn't know why. But a series of facts that happened later proved the correctness of the impeachment at that time. Because Zhao Guangxin committed suicide in fear of sin, his suicide in fear of crime led to the suicide of the queen and the death of the first emperor. Moreover, his three sons immediately rebelled, which shows that this person has long been willing to usurp the throne. Now the whole territory of Hebei has been occupied by Zhao Guangxin's third son, Zhao Zhengbao. Zhao Guangxin's ruthlessness can be seen! ”

Li Yongfu continued: "Zhao Zhengbao is raising troops to rebel at this time! My Ming officials in Hebei, from the provincial governor to the county magistrate, have been killed by him hundreds! If this is not called rebellion, may I ask the Prime Minister, what is a rebellion?! ”

Prime Minister Li Guozhong was stopped by the governor Li Yongfu.

At this time, a person stood out from the last row - Jin Yuguang, it was this guy who asked the emperor to go to Xi'an County to visit the Qinglou after his father's funeral ceremony. Jin Yuguang is the second son of the head of the Jin family in Liaoxi, and he is the second son of the concubine, but this person is deeply loved by the head of the Jin family, so he replaced the representative position of the head of the Jin family in the imperial court. Western Liaoning is a semi-agricultural and semi-pastoral province, similar to Xiliang, a remote province of the Ming Dynasty, and has been discriminated against by the headquarters for a long time. Everyone knows that Jin Yuguang is the emperor's imperial classmate, and he has been a sycophant of the emperor (who was still the crown prince at that time) for more than ten years.

Jin Guangyu walked from the last row to the head Li Yongfu.

Everyone looked at him in amazement.

Jin Guangyu: "Your Excellency, this is wrong! Suppose the imperial court wronged Prime Minister Zhao Guangxin, and his son felt wronged, he would also rebel. Therefore, it must have been these people who were instructed or deceived by others, so they wronged the prime minister and instigated Zhao Zhengbao to rebel. ”

The ministers continue to make a big noise!

Yang Shunzhong, head of the household department, said: "...... cough cough cough ...... cough cough cough ............ cough cough cough ...... cough cough cough ............ cough cough cough ...... cough cough cough ......"

Minister of the Military Department Sun Haomiao: "Nonsense! ”

Jin Yuguang continued: "I think it is unlikely that they were instigated, they should have been deceived. ”

Li Yongfu, the head of the inner court: "What a bold man! Do you dare to say that the court has wronged people? Will the imperial court make mistakes?! So many people can still make mistakes?! ”

Jin Yuguang: "It's not the imperial court, and it's not up to you to have the final say!" In my opinion, someone who claims to be the imperial court is the real rebellion! ”

Li Yongfu looked at him, his eyelids trembled: "Are you also going to rebel?" ”

Jin Yuguang: "The one who said I was rebelling was the one who rebelled!" You talk about this rebellion and that rebellion all day long, and as a result, you have forced everyone to rebel! ”

Li Yongfu sneered: "Isn't this what it means to 'the government forces the people to rebel'?" You make excuses for the traitor! The "King James Statute" stipulates that the imperial court will never make mistakes, and you want the imperial court to admit its mistakes?! Besides, the court didn't make a mistake either! Zhao Guangxin is a rebellion! Do you need to ask?! ”

Sun Haomiao: "Yes! Zhao Zhengbao sent the head of the Baoding magistrate to Chang'an and provoked the imperial court, this is not a rebellion? ! ”

The ministers are arguing!

Some people say rebellion, some people say no, they are getting more and more noisy, and they almost scold each other.

Suddenly, Zhu Honghua, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty on the dragon chair, slapped the dragon chair angrily and shouted: "Li Yongfu! You traitor! Deceived the first emperor, and you want to lie to me?! If you hurt the first emperor, you want to hurt me?! ”

-

Got it all!

People get it!

Spare such a big circle, it turns out that today is going to change the head of the inner court.

What are you doing with so much, just give an order.

…… Yes! Wait, isn't the head of the inner court my boss? He's dead, what should I do? I thought, it's okay, I'm just a low-level court, and maybe—surely—I can still improve!

The officials are no longer noisy!

Jin Guangyu spoke first: "Prime Minister Zhao Guangxin died in the palace, aren't you responsible?" Empress Zhao Yishu died in the palace, aren't you responsible? You did it all! ”

The high-ranking officials began to point at Li Yongfu one by one, saying that they were confused by Li Yongfu, and that all the bad things were done by the general manager, and now they found out that Li Yongfu was the biggest conspirator, careerist, and usurper.

There are also people who expose Li Yongfu who wrote the holy decree privately, which is a big rebellion - this is excessive, because the head of the inner court has the right to write the holy decree.

Crown Prince Zhu Hongfeng shouted: "It turns out that you slandered me and assassinated my eldest brother!" ”

He drew his sword from his waist and walked towards Li Yongfu. When he was in the last court, high-ranking officials could carry swords, anyway, behind the emperor stood a bunch of forbidden troops, forbidden guards, and imperial front armies with submachine guns.

Li Yongfu, the head of the inner court, stared at him and grasped the saber at his waist. Li Yongfu is a recognized master, and he may not have the ability of the top ten masters of martial arts, but he is also quite powerful.

Zhu Hongfeng probably felt that he couldn't beat Li Yongfu, so he continued to stare at him.

Many ministers pointed at the governor and scolded.

Li Yongfu didn't say a word, staring at the ministers.

-

-

Emperor Zhu Honghua began to smile smugly, twisting his mustache with his hand with a sparse chin.

Li Yongfu: "Don't make any noise!" ”

The main hall was silent.

The chief steward Li Yongfu said to the emperor: "You are really powerful, you will change the chief steward on the first day of power." ”

Zhu Honghua: "Ha, I've been looking at you for a long time!" ”

Jin Yuguang shouted: "You think you can refer to the deer as a horse, but in fact, you are covering your ears and stealing the bell!" Li Yongfu, your time of death has arrived! ”

Li Yongfu sneered at the emperor: "I don't know who covered his ears and stole the bell!" ”

……

There were not many ministers who opened their mouths, on the contrary, more ministers retreated, and some retreated to the walls and huddled together......

What's the situation?!

Could it be that the chief and the emperor are going to have a decisive battle?!

Who can win?

Is it time to change the emperor or the governor?

I'm so nervous!

-

-

Li Yongfu shouted: "Forbidden army! ”

All the ministers were shocked!
