Tianjin is only half a day's work away from Beijing, and since Lu Wenyang has received the news, the news has almost been sent to the capital at this time.

Generally speaking, the Great Dynasty Meeting requires the gathering of Chinese and military officials in Beijing, and it will be specially convened when there are major national affairs to be discussed.

Even Zhu Houzhao sat on the throne with a majestic expression at this moment, condescendingly accepting the worship of the hundreds of officials below.

After so many years, a set of processes has almost been formed, in which the hundred officials first nominate a few people from among the cabinet elders and important ministers of the DPRK and the central government as candidates for the first assistant of the cabinet, and then the Son of Heaven determines which person will be the first assistant of the cabinet.

Of course, the Son of Heaven can also appoint the head of the cabinet by himself, but generally speaking, if the head of the cabinet appointed by the Son of Heaven does not have some ability, even if he enters the cabinet, he is afraid that he will be set aside.

Above the solemn court, hundreds of civil and military officials were publicly recommended, such as Yang Tinghe, Mao Ji, Yang Yiqing and others were on the list of candidates.

For more than an hour, a little eunuch carefully presented the list to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao opened the list, swept his eyes over several names on the list, stared at those names for a long time, lifted the Zhu pen and sketched under one of the names, and then waved his hand and said: "The candidates for the first and auxiliary cabinets have been decided, if there is nothing to do, let's retreat!" ”

Everyone has long been accustomed to Zhu Houzhao's behavior, although it is said that Zhu Houzhao rarely boycotts the DPRK from time to time, but Zhu Houzhao never delays any major matter related to the DPRK and China.

Now that the first and auxiliary candidates of the cabinet have been decided, there is no need for everyone to force Zhu Houzhao to continue to stay here, so everyone can bow to Zhu Houzhao in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”

Zhu Houzhao left accompanied by Gu Dayong and Zhang Yong, and everyone's eyes looked at the list left by Zhu Houzhao.

Headed by Yang Tinghe and Mao Ji, several important ministers of the court took over the list from the hands of the little eunuchs, and their eyes swept over, and they saw that Yang Tinghe's name was outlined by a red pen, obviously the Son of Heaven selected Yang Tinghe as the first assistant of the cabinet.

A ray of jealousy flashed in Mao Ji's eyes, but he laughed heartily and said: "Congratulations, Brother Jiefu, Your Majesty has chosen you to be the first assistant of the cabinet, which is really expected by everyone!" ”

Fei Hong and the others also congratulated Yang Tinghe at this time.

Yang Tinghe had a little joy between his eyebrows, stroked his beard, forced himself to remain calm, and smiled at everyone: "Don't make fun of Yang, although Tinghe is the first assistant of the cabinet in the future, I still need your help, I hope you can help me!" ”

After all, from the moment the Son of Heaven selected Yang Tinghe, Yang Tinghe was the new cabinet chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty and an example of a hundred officials.

The first assistant is decided, and the hundred officials retreat.

Outside the palace gate, Yang Tinghe only saw that the housekeeper was standing not far away with an eager face and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, at this time the housekeeper came quickly, first saluted Mao Ji and a few people, and then handed a letter to Yang Tinghe and said: "Master, Tianjin Wei Emergency!" ”

Yang Tinghe's eyes flashed with surprise, he stretched out his hand to take the letter, and then opened his gaze and swept over, and suddenly his face was cold: "Lawlessness, really lawlessness!" ”

Mao Ji and the others didn't expect Yang Tinghe to be so angry when he read a letter, and couldn't help but show doubts, took a deep breath, Yang Tinghe handed the letter to Mao Ji and the others: "A few adults might as well take a look." ”

After Mao Ji and the others saw it, they reacted similarly to Yang Tinghe, and several of them were angry, especially Hu Ming roared: "Chu Yi is so bold, when does he have the right to transfer local soldiers and horses, especially the bloody slaughter of Jining officialdom, even if it is a big deal, he should be escorted to Beijing and wait for the review of the Criminal Department." ”

Mao Ji coughed lightly and reminded Hu Ming: "Hu Yushi, don't forget, Chu Yi is still the Son of Heaven now, and there is nothing wrong with him in dispatching troops and horses, even if it is a bloody Jining officialdom, we have nothing to say." ”

Fei Hong stroked his beard and nodded: "What Brother Mao said is very true, what Chu Yi did is indeed beyond the bounds, but this eunuch first stained Songyang Academy with blood, and then created a bloody case in Jiangnan to massacre my generation of scholars, and now he is creating a bloody case in Jining, he is simply a madman, if it goes on like this, the old man is really worried that he will just kill all the way back to Beijing, and then he will destroy our people one by one!" ”

Several important ministers were all angry, not angry at Chu Yi's transfer of troops, but angry at Chu Yi's attitude, obviously returning to Beijing after the edict but still refusing to stop, this decisive attitude of killing really shocked and angered everyone's hearts.

Not to mention the others, as Chu Yi's bloody massacre in Jiangnan gradually spreads, the Jingshi will inevitably be shaken, if Chu Yi kills all the way back, when the time comes, if the Son of Heaven helps Chu Yi to ascend to the throne, I am afraid that the good situation they have achieved with great difficulty will be gone forever.

Only then did they get rid of a greedy and short-sighted Liu Jin, if there was another murderous Chu Yi, then they might as well not kill Liu Jin.

A chill flashed from Yang Tinghe's eyes, he took a deep breath, and only heard Yang Tinghe say with a smile on his face: "Today, Yang sincerely invites you to come over the house for a small gathering, and invites you to appreciate your face!" ”

Several people were slightly stunned when they heard this, but everyone was a smart person, and they immediately understood that this was Yang Tinghe who invited them to the mansion to discuss.

Zhu Hou took a picture of the court, changed his clothes directly, and returned to the leopard room accompanied by Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong and other chamberlains.

In the leopard room, Zhu Houzhao sat down, took the teacup from Zhang Yong's hand, drank the tea, and said: "The palace is too depressing, but it is not as easy as the leopard room." ”

Gu Dayong said with a smile while pinching Zhu Houzhao's shoulder: "Your Majesty said yes, where is the Forbidden City worthy of Your Majesty's leopard room." ”

Zhu Houzhao put down the teacup and said to a little eunuch: "Go check and check if there are any folds to be sent." ”

Because the chief supervisor has not yet been decided, many of the recitals are still approved by Zhu Houzhao, in addition to some secret recitals submitted by the East Factory, the West Factory and Jinyiwei, which are to be checked by Zhu Houzhao himself.

Soon the little eunuch came with more than a dozen secret notes and said: "Your Majesty, Dongchang and Jinyi Wei are here!" ”

When Zhu Houzhao heard this, a bright light flashed in his eyes and said, "Oh, Dongchang Secret Music? Could it be that there is something wrong with Chu Daban? ”

Saying that, Zhu Houzhao took the Dongchang secret music, then opened it, his eyes swept over the content of the secret music, and gradually Zhu Houzhao's face was gloomy like water, and the hand holding the secret music trembled slightly, and the whole person seemed to be like a volcano that was about to erupt at any time.

With a snap, Zhu Houzhao slapped on the coffee table next to him, smashing the teacup alive, and even the fragments cut the palm, and blood flowed out at once.

"It's just that there is no king's law, the prefect and garrison of the dignified mansion dare to lead the army to besiege the imperial court, do they still have the imperial court in their eyes, and I am the son of heaven?"

Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong and several little eunuchs who were waiting on the side were so frightened that they fell to their knees, Gu Dayong looked at Zhu Houzhao's cut palm with a distressed face, and stepped forward on his knees and said, "Your Majesty is angry, Your Majesty is angry......"

"How I am angry, you tell me how to calm my anger!"

Zhu Houzhao kicked Gu Dayong's body, only kicked Gu Dayong to the ground, pinched the secret music and said slightly hoarsely: "Look at it, this is my good minister, what a good courtier, who gave them so much courage to mobilize the guards to besiege and kill Qincha!" ”

Gu Da got up with his bones and shouted at a little eunuch: "Don't go and get the medicine yet!" ”

Picking up the piece from the ground, Gu Da swept it with a glance and ten lines, and was immediately shocked, he understood why Zhu Houzhao was so angry, don't say it's Zhu Houzhao, I'm afraid that it will be a mediocre master, and I'm afraid that I will be thundered and angry when I see what is played on this piece.

Even the army of the guard station was dispatched, which made it clear that Chu Yi was going to be besieged and killed knowing Chu Yi's identity, so blatant and without a king's law, it was simply shocking.

Crackling, Zhu Houzhao dropped a few vases, and finally sat down, with an angry face and let Gu Dayong help him bandage his wounds.

At this time, Gu Dayong said: "Your Majesty, isn't there nothing wrong with Chu Yi, and he has also washed the officialdom of Jining Mansion in blood, with Gao Feng leading the army to escort him, if he wants to come here, he will definitely return safely." ”

Zhu Houzhao sneered and said: "Chu Daban has been assassinated several times, and this time even the guards have been sent to the army, how much do they hate Chu Daban, or how much do some people not want Chu Daban to return to the capital alive!" ”

Saying that, Zhu Houzhao stared at Gu Dayong and said, "Gu Daban, do you want Chu Daban to come back?" ”

With a pop, Gu Da fell to the ground with a look of horror on his face and said: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid are loyal to you and have no two hearts, how can it be unfavorable to Brother Chu!" ”

Zhu Houzhao's gaze fell on Zhang Yong again and said, "Zhang Daban, do you want Chu Daban to come back?" ”

Zhang Yong, who was frightened, wept bitterly and said: "Your Majesty, how dare the old slave, even if you give the old slave 10,000 guts, you don't dare to have such thoughts!" ”

With a long breath, Zhu Houzhao, who seemed to be seriously overdrawn, waved his hand weakly and said: "It's me who is emotional, you guys should step down, let me be quiet, be quiet, be quiet......"

Whether it was Gu Dayong or Zhang Yong, the two of them were really frightened by Zhu Houzhao's reaction, and at the same time, they were deeply aware that Chu Yi had been assassinated several times outside, and after these things, his status in Zhu Houzhao's mind had surpassed them, and I am afraid that even when Liu Jin was the most favored, it may not be comparable to Chu Yi's status in Zhu Houzhao's heart now.
