Chapter 973: Zhu Houzhao went berserk
Xu Cheng's figure stood in the ranks of civil officials, as a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Cheng's figure was quite forward, but at this moment, Xu Cheng stood there, but there was a sense of hesitation, especially the gaze cast behind him made Xu Cheng's heart full of hesitation.
Xu Cheng knew very well in his heart that once he walked out of the ranks of the hundred officials, then he would inevitably become the focus of everyone present, especially the object they wanted to target was the martial king Chu Yi who was sitting at the head of the Son of Heaven.
Xu Cheng was still full of confidence in his heart before, after all, in Xu Cheng's opinion, Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi were monarchs and ministers, so it was impossible for the monarchs and ministers to really trust each other.
Not to mention the others, there are a few emperors in this world who are not born suspicious, even if they are not naturally suspicious, but once they sit in the position of the Son of Heaven, they will inevitably become suspicious.
What kind of person Chu Yi is, no one knows, no one knows, back then in the Ming Dynasty, it was really one person under ten thousand people, with the power that Chu Yi held at that time, even if Chu Yi wanted to do the change of dynasty, it was not impossible, and even the brilliance of Zhu Houzhao, the son of heaven, was suppressed.
Everyone has always believed that it was Chu Yi's existence that suppressed Zhu Houzhao's ability, so after Chu Yi left, Zhu Houzhao burst out with that ability and became a rare Ming Jun in ancient times, and even flew to the sky with Da Ming.
A wise lord, especially a son of heaven like Zhu Houzhao, who controls great power, must be the world's greatest, only self-respecting character, so how could such an emperor accept sharing power with others.
As for saying that Chu Yi pulled Chu Yi to bow down in front of so many officials, and even wanted to take charge of the Ming Dynasty with Chu Yi, in the eyes of Xu Cheng and others, this was nothing more than a means of Zhu Houzhao.
Even in Xu Cheng's opinion, Zhu Houzhao's move was clearly to retreat into advance, lift Chu Yi high, and then find a way to elevate it, and in the end, Chu Yi's fate will definitely not be much better.
It is precisely because of this that they think they have grasped the mind of the Son of Heaven, so many officials led by Xu Cheng and others naturally have their own small calculations in their hearts.
There must be officials on Chu Yi's side among the Chinese martial arts of the DPRK, so when Chu Yi collapses one day and Zhu Houzhao is liquidated, the form above the court will inevitably change.
Therefore, if you want to take revenge on Chu Yi or go further, then you must stand in line in advance and bet even between Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao.
Needless to say, Xu Cheng and these people chose to gamble, if it happens, he will inevitably be valued by the Son of Heaven one day, and he will soar, and his glory and wealth will not be a problem at all.
As for failure, they really haven't thought about it, because human nature is like this, unless it is the Son of Heaven Zhu Houzhao who sincerely wants to share the Ming Dynasty with Chu Yi.
But how is this possible, looking at the past and present, which emperor would be willing to share the power of the country with others and share his own power.
Even if it's based on human nature, they don't think they're going to lose.
Standing in the ranks of the courtiers, although Zhao Xiong and others said that they were qualified to come to participate in the court meeting, but they were not qualified to participate in the court meeting, after all, the people who can really stand up to discuss politics must at least be officials at the level of squires, otherwise hundreds of civil and military officers will gather together, and everyone who wants to open their mouths will speak, wouldn't it be a mess?
The eyes of Zhao Xiong and the others were naturally full of expectation at Xu Cheng, who was standing in the forefront, as their hope, if Xu Cheng didn't stand up, he might stand up against Chu Yi with others.
Zhao Xiong and Xu Cheng knew this very well in their hearts, after all, there were too many enemies that Chu Yi had set up back then, and after decades, those people in the past had recovered a little bit of vitality, and even had a place in the court.
For this point, even if he is as strong as Zhu Houzhao, it is impossible to penetrate the hearts of the people and grasp the thoughts of the officials under him.
After all, Chu Yi offended not only the officialdom and the powerful back then, but also many well-known celebrities in the world, there are too many disciples under these celebrities, and it is normal for someone to escape the catastrophe of the year.
Maybe they hesitated, then someone stood up instead of them, and it may be someone else who left a deep impression on the Son of Heaven at that time.
How could they not know how important a preconceived impression was, so at this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng gritted his teeth, took a deep breath, and took a firm step forward.
Sitting on the dragon chair, the condescending Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but light up when he saw Xu Cheng who came out of the ranks of the hundred officials.
For Xu Cheng, these new officials, in fact, Zhu Houzhao still attaches great importance to them, after all, these people are young and strong, and they have brought a vitality to the court, and they will inevitably become high-level officials in the DPRK and China in the future.
At this time, Xu Cheng stood up, which meant that Xu Cheng had a watch to play, so Zhu Houzhao looked at Xu Cheng with a smile and said, "Does Xu Qing's family have anything to play?" ”
Seeing that the Son of Heaven was so kind and pleasant to ask Xu Cheng, the officials couldn't help but show a little envy and jealousy.
Xu Cheng felt Zhu Houzhao's ardent gaze, and couldn't help but be shocked, and his heart was full of joy, Your Majesty This is his great love for himself, as a courtier, how can he live up to the love of the Son of Heaven.
Thinking of this, Xu Cheng, who suddenly became much more confident, took out a piece of music from his cuffs, which was a group of flowers and full of murderous power that he had exhausted his brains and spent his time writing yesterday.
As soon as this piece of music came out, Xu Cheng didn't believe that Chu Yi was unlucky.
"Your Majesty, the minister has this music!"
Saying that, Xu Cheng respectfully presented the music in his hand, and Wang Zheng walked down the imperial steps to present the results of the music to Zhu Houzhao.
Just when Zhu Houzhao looked at the concerto, Zhu Houzhao's eyes swept over the content of the concerto, and his face suddenly became much gloomy, and even the gloomy face of Zhu Houzhao's aura affected the atmosphere in the hall, and many people obviously noticed that the Son of Heaven seemed to be angry.
Many people looked at Xu Cheng with a proud face, what kind of music did this Xu Cheng present to the Son of Heaven, and what kind of affairs did he involve, how could it be that after it arrived in Zhu Houzhao's hands, Zhu Houzhao's expression changed, could it be that there was really something important happening, but they had no way of knowing?
It's no wonder that these people are so guessing, but if they don't guess like this, they really can't figure out what happened, why Zhu Houzhao reacted like that after watching that piece.
At the same time, Xu Cheng was eyes flashed with a cold light, and he looked at Chu Yi in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military faces: "Chu Yi, you are a eunuch, how can you dare to sit on top of the court, you still have Your Majesty in your eyes, and you can have dignity and humility in your heart......"
To tell the truth, Xu Cheng was indeed bold when he opened his mouth, but after he opened his mouth, he seemed to let go all of a sudden, and his courage seemed to have suddenly become bigger, and even when he pointed at Chu Yi and scolded him, counting the charges they had prepared for Chu Yi, his face flushed with excitement.
Just when Xu Cheng was attacking Chu Yi above the court, Zhao Xiong and the others all had their eyes lit up, and they clenched their fists excitedly, looking at Xu Cheng with admiration.
Xu Cheng really didn't disappoint them, in front of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, they didn't believe that Chu Yi could still sit there steadily.
At this moment, among the ranks of officials on the side, an official stepped out and said loudly to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal, Xu Cheng's words are reasonable, and the Chu thief should be punished, otherwise it will ......."
"Hahaha!"
Before Xu Cheng and the official who stood up could finish speaking, they suddenly saw Zhu Houzhao sitting on the dragon chair laughing.
Zhu Houzhao's laughter made many people look stunned and puzzled, could it be that the Son of Heaven really had any discord with Chu Yi, otherwise, why did the Son of Heaven suddenly laugh when he heard someone accusing Chu Yi?
But Zhu Houzhao's laughter, which echoed above the court, gradually made many officials present feel a little bad in their hearts.
It's really Zhu Houzhao's reaction that is wrong, even if he laughs, it shouldn't be like this.
Even Xu Ying and Chen Kai, who were standing there, gradually hung their hearts, after all, they simply wanted to gamble, and winning or losing only depended on their luck.
Suddenly, a terrifying power suddenly came, and then the laughter of Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting there laughing, stopped abruptly, and at this moment, Zhu Houzhao's face became extremely cold.
Many officials have been in the DPRK for more than 10 years, and they have participated in court meetings more than once, so naturally they have seen Zhu Houzhao's reaction when he came to the DPRK more than once.
It can be said that no matter how big the matter is, Zhu Houzhao has left an impression of incomparably steady, and he has always been Mount Tai collapsed without changing his face, and it is simply impossible to peek into the mind of the Son of Heaven from Zhu Houzhao's expression.
However, now that Zhu Houzhao's face is cold, even a fool can see how bad Zhu Houzhao's mood is at this moment.
"Bastard, are you a three-year-old child?"
While speaking, Zhu Houzhao smashed the music in his hand into the bodies of Xu Ying and Chen Kai who were standing in front of him.
With a pop, Xu Cheng and Chen Kai knelt on the ground in unison, and said with their heads: "Your Majesty forgives your sins, the ministers are loyal to Your Majesty, and please eradicate the traitorous ......."
Zhu Houzhao stood there, pressing one hand on the armrest of the dragon chair, looking at Xu and the two who were kneeling there and still kept targeting Chu Yi and separating their relationship between kings and ministers, a touch of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Where are the wrestlers in front of the palace, drag these two out for me, and beat them to death with sticks." ”
"Ahh
Although they had expected the worst outcome before they stood up, Zhu Houzhao has always been magnanimous and broad-minded, and rarely kills courtiers indiscriminately.
However, at this moment, Zhu Houzhao's seemingly calm will was full of murderous intentions, but it was trembling, and many people suddenly looked at Zhu Houzhao, who was standing there, and the emperor's majesty was revealed, this was their king, who controlled their life and death, not only benevolence.
Several wrestlers in front of the hall immediately walked into the main hall, and easily dragged out Xu Cheng and the two who were paralyzed on the ground, and while being dragged out, Xu and the two were shouting Chu Yi as a traitor.
Soon outside the main hall there was the sound of sticks hitting the human body and the screams that were gradually unable to withstand the blows of the sticks.
As the sound of the sticks became more and more rapid, the wails gradually became muffled and faint, obviously under the chaos of the sticks, even the iron man could break you, let alone flesh and blood.
The screams and wails outside came into the main hall, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty could clearly hear the movement one by one, and everyone lowered their heads and did not dare to look at the people standing there, like the Son of Heaven who could see through people's hearts.
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao's majesty was fully displayed, and that kind of imperial bearing was Chu Yi's admiration when he saw it.
Chu Yi looked at Zhu Houzhao's appearance, and his eyes couldn't help but show a look of relief, it seems that after he left, Zhu Houzhao really grew up.
It seemed that he noticed Chu Yi's gaze, Zhu Houzhao's originally angry mood suddenly improved a lot, and when he looked at Chu Yi, there was a faint sense of joy in his eyes that he had been recognized.
In Zhu Houzhao's view, Chu Yi's relieved and appreciative gaze was the greatest affirmation and recognition of him.
Just when Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao looked at each other, the movement outside stopped abruptly, and most of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Soon, a wrestler in front of the palace walked into the main hall, bowed respectfully to Zhu Houzhao and said: "Back to Your Majesty, Xu Ying and Chen Kai couldn't bear the punishment, and they died on the spot!" ”
Although they already knew that Xu Ying and Chen Kai were dead, but when they really heard the news that the two were dead, everyone was shocked.
Zhu Houzhao retracted his gaze, glanced at the wrestler in front of the palace, and snorted coldly: "Spread my will, order Jinyiwei and Dongchang to immediately raid the mansions of Xu Cheng and Chen Kai, and tell Jinyiwei and Dongchang that I want them to dig three feet into the ground and dig out the two of them together." ”
The wrestlers in front of the hall retreated, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty lowered their heads one by one, and many officials with ghosts in their hearts even had their backs soaked, if they hadn't tried their best to insist, maybe they would have fainted at this time.
Standing there, Zhu Houzhao's eyes full of infinite majesty swept over the officials present one by one, flicked his sleeves, and snorted coldly: "I will tell you here today that some things should not be said nonsense, some things should not be thought about, and do not try to provoke my bottom line, otherwise, I will let you know what is called thunder and rain and dew are Jun's grace!" ”
Among the courtiers, such as Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing, and Chen Ding, these people couldn't help but sigh in their hearts when they looked at Zhu Houzhao's angry appearance, and then looked at Chu Yi, who was sitting there calmly, as if nothing had happened, Wang Yangming and the others glanced at each other, and his Royal Highness the Martial King was more and more calm and unfathomable than back then.
The terrifying power enveloped the audience, and after many years, Zhu Houzhao went crazy again, and shocked the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces.
