Chapter 740: Kneeling at the Palace Gate

"Death and righteousness are today!"

Yang Shen's words inspired the hearts of the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty.

He said what everyone wanted, whether the morality of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty is corrupt, whether it is fame and reputation, or whether it is greedy for ink, after all, there is one thing that is desirable, and it is also the most precious and shining in China's history for more than 2,000 years.

Civil officials are not afraid of pain and death, sometimes in order to seek a reputation of "not afraid of the powerful", they even like to dance on the tip of the knife, and take the initiative to provoke the emperor, so they almost kneel down and beg him to reward him with a court staff so that he can go back to show off, and the officials who have not been beaten by the court staff are incompetent officials, of course, this practice is very cheap, but on the other hand, it can also be seen how fearless the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty are......

Yang Shen's loud shout seemed to ignite the long-suppressed anger in the hearts of the courtiers, and the silence in the golden palace was instantly broken, and the crowd was boiling.

"Go to Chengtianmen to kneel and admonish, Your Majesty refuses to agree that we will hit our heads against the palace gate and die!"

"Let's go!"

"Let's go!"

More than 400 civil and military ministers walked out of the Golden Palace with a shout and a sigh of anger, and went towards Chengtianmen.

…………

Qianqing Palace.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong! The civil and military officials gathered again at Chengtianmen to kneel and beg His Majesty...... Respond to the matter of courtesy. The little eunuch knelt outside the threshold of the main hall in a panic, and his tone was very hurried.

As soon as he dispersed, Zhu Houxi, who had nowhere to vent his anger, was stunned when he heard this, and said angrily: "Here we go again!" Do these ministers have to force me to death? What else would they do besides crying and making trouble? Let them go! They love to kneel whenever they want! ”

The little eunuch said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't be casual this time......"

"What do you mean?"

"At this moment, there are more than 400 ministers kneeling outside the Chengtian Gate, half an hour ago, there have been four ministers who hit their heads against the palace gate, until they hit the blood before fainting, after being carried away, four more came up and continued to bang their heads against the door, look at their posture, this is to die ......"

Zhu Houxi trembled, and his eyes involuntarily showed a panicked look.

He can not care about the opinions of the ministers, and he can make an arbitrary decision and go his own way, because this is a natural monarchy, and it is a matter of course, but he can't sit back and watch the ministers line up one by one in front of the palace gate to die. Who in the world wouldn't scold him for being a cruel and mediocre emperor? The emperor's position has not been firmly seated and he has killed so many ministers, he has just ascended the throne, and thousands of vassal kings around the country are not convinced, if there is such a bloody case that shocks the world at this time, how many days can he be the emperor?

His eyelids jumped a few times, Zhu Houxi stood up, the anger of the Golden Palace had long since disappeared, and turned into an anxiety, and hurriedly said: "Quick, order the Han general to stop the ministers and invite the ministers to go to the Fengtian Temple to discuss ......"

Stamped his foot heavily, Zhu Houxi was anxious and shocked, and said: "What can't be discussed with good words, and you have to make such a shocking act?" It's just a dispute over etiquette, why bother with me! ”

The little eunuch received the order and hurried to the palace gate.

…………

Outside the Chengtian Gate, more than 400 ministers knelt in the dust in official robes, facing the palace gate and frequently kowtowed and cried, and the crying shook the sky.

There are four ministers in front of the palace gate who banged their heads on the door, banging, the blood on their foreheads couldn't stop flowing down their faces, and the four of them were already crumbling, the Han general Wei Concubine on duty outside the door, the latest chapter of the demon world changed color slightly, and the two little eunuchs guarding the door cried with sad faces, and couldn't stop rubbing their hands and stomping their feet, and they didn't dare to come forward to persuade each other.

Yan Song, who was in the lead, didn't know whether it was true or false, and cried the saddest, but no one found out, every time Yan Song kowtowed, Yan Song would always straighten his waist and glance back inadvertently, as if waiting for something......

North Town Fuji.

Ding Shun bowed his head and looked respectful: "Grandpa, this morning, the new emperor has ordered Qian Ning to go to Tianjin to thoroughly investigate the lawlessness of all the divisions in Tianjin, including the prefect's yamen, all command the envoys, the Jinyi Wei Thousand Households, the two Yamen of Yancao, the city and the sailor......"

Qin Kan sneered: "This is a posture to uproot me...... The position has not yet sat down, and he is busy cutting power, I really can't wait, in the end, it is a twelve-year-old child, the means are more tender, everything pays attention to the heat, the heat has not arrived, can you uncover the pot? ”

Ding Shun said with a smile: "It's already remarkable that a twelve-year-old can do such a thing, if my child has half of his cleverness, why would he have almost been disabled by me back then." ”

Qin Kan raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said leisurely: "Dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, the son of a mouse can make holes, is there any cleverness related to Dad, is your son wronged by so many beatings?" ”

Ding Shun smiled awkwardly, and quickly changed the topic of self-inflicted humiliation, and said: "Grandpa, at today's court meeting, Yan Song brought up the words of etiquette again, and the new emperor really went away angrily, Yan Song and Yang Shen, the son of Yang Tinghe, the first assistant, instigated a few words on the Golden Palace, and now Yan Song and Yang Shen have led the ministers to Chengtianmen to kneel and admonish. ”

Qin Kan didn't seem surprised, and there was a light in his eyes that no one could understand.

"Hundreds of officials are dead, how do you think the new emperor will react?"

Ding Shun said with a smile: "If the officials really splash some blood in front of the palace gate, the new emperor is afraid that he will not be able to bear it, and he will definitely persuade him with good words......

Qin Kan nodded: "Yes, even if he is the Ninth Five-Year Honor, his foundation is still very weak, and if he offends one or two ministers, it will be a bit troublesome to offend the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty." ”

After saying this, Qin Kan and Ding Shun stopped talking, and after a long time, Ding Shun took out a long list from his arms and handed it to Qin Kan.

"According to the orders of the grandfather, there are a total of 122 people on the roster, all of whom are officials above the fourth grade of the Beijing Division, and Jinyi Wei has investigated for more than three years, some of these people have occupied land in the local area, some have arbitrarily judged unjust cases and caused innocent people to die, and some often frame up crimes and create false testimony to impeach the grandfather many times, and they all have a way to die......

Qin Kan said lightly: "These people ......"

Ding Shun hurriedly continued: "At this moment today, all these people gathered in front of the Chengtian Gate to cry and kneel on the ground. ”

Qin Kan nodded again, but closed his eyes and didn't move.

Seeing that Qin Kan didn't say anything, Ding Shun immediately understood what he meant, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, he stuffed the roster into his arms, and respectfully withdrew from the room.

After Ding Shun withdrew for a moment, Qin Kan slowly opened his eyes, looked at the beam above his head in a daze, and let out a wry smile for a long time.

"There have always been famous ministers and good generals, how rare are those who do not kill people and create great causes, it turns out that I am not exempt from vulgar ......" rs
