The cabinet minister of the Ming Dynasty, the official title is "Cabinet University Scholar".

There were four people in the dynasty, who were like prime ministers, the head of a hundred officials, and had the "right to draft votes". Under special circumstances, it can even replace the emperor and issue a decree, which shows the great power of it.

With such a big right, he naturally knows clearly about Emperor Zhengde's small actions in private.

They all understood that this time the emperor had made up his mind to make a southern tour to cut down the domain. So he looked at his nose and nose and his heart, stood silently in place, and pretended to be dead without saying a word.

Because in the court, King Ning has a lot of henchmen.

The matter of Emperor Zhengde's southern tour will definitely be opposed by King Ning's henchmen.

Even the four cabinet scholars maintained close ties with King Ning. After all, for them, whoever is the emperor in the old Zhu family is the same, they can only sit firmly in the position of the cabinet, and it doesn't matter who is on the dragon throne. Anyway, everyone is a family, and whoever is the emperor is not a rebel.

It's just that they are as smart as the four cabinet scholars, and they will never take the initiative to step into this deadly whirlpool.

But the other officials in the court were far less calm than them, and they suddenly set off an uproar.

"His Majesty the Emperor wants to tour south?"

"Now that the treasury is not rich, and there are floods in the provinces of the Yangtze River, this move must not be feasible."

"The emperors of all dynasties have spent at least ten years of national strength on their southern tours, and I hope Your Majesty can think twice."

The DPRK and Chinese officials were full of opposition, and even those who did not speak out against it only remained silent, and no one dared to express their support.

There are not a few henchmen of King Ning in this court, they hang their heads and exchange glances, they can see clearly, and the surprise in each other's eyes is clear.

The little emperor can't wait to make a move!

Several imperial historians who were loyal to King Ning glanced at each other, and one of them stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the reason why the ancient emperors wanted to patrol and hunt was to inquire about the people's livelihood and suffering, depose the mediocre officials, promote the virtuous, inspect the performance of officials at all levels, and give them promotions and promotions, so that they are in suitable positions, so the princes are afraid, but the people live a healthy life. ”

"A patrol like Your Majesty is just similar to Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, indulging in selfishness and seeking pleasure."

"Touring the world in the south, this is the act of the faint king!"

This imperial historian Jiang Qin, born in Suzhou City, was a confidant official of King Ning in the court.

Although the position is low, as an imperial historian, he has the right to supervise the emperor's words and deeds. From dining etiquette to national strategy, the deficiencies can be pointed out and opposed by the current dynasty.

Emperor Zhengde heard a little imperial history, scolded him as a faint monarch, patted the armrest, stood up and pointed at him, and laughed instead of anger: "Okay, good, I want to tour the south, I want to inspect the world, take a good look at my world." ”

"Now Jiang Yushi scolds me for being a faint king, and I ask you again, what are you!"

Jiang Qin snorted coldly, of course he knew that Emperor Zhengde's southern tour was not for fun, but to cut King Ning.

But he has an upright face and full of acting skills, and completely regards the court as a stage for one person. He replied: "Your Majesty, Weichen did not scold you for being a faint monarch, only said that the southern tour is a faint monarch's move, as long as Your Majesty gives up the southern tour, he will still be a Ming monarch who will remain in history." ”

"If Your Majesty wants to have fun, you can conduct a draft and build a garden, so why do you want to launch a southern tour."

"And Weichen is a person, not a thing."

Emperor Zhengde flicked his sleeves angrily, his face was cold, and he said coldly: "Okay, Jiang Yushi is really loyal and patriotic." ”

"Liu Jin, tell the court officials what kind of person Jiang Yushi is!"

Liu Jin, who was standing next to the dragon seat, coughed, pinched his throat and said: "Jiang Qin, the imperial historian, accepted a bribe of 50,000 taels of silver in the first year of Zhengde and received three sets of Jiangnan Courtyards, and his son Jiang Hua killed people on the street in the book city and was sentenced to beheading, but escaped from prison that night......"

"There are a total of eighteen counts, and all of them have ironclad evidence."

Liu Jin was dressed in a royal python robe, with a dust whisk on his hand, and every time he said a word, Jiang Qin's face turned gray.

"Liu Jin, as Your Majesty's domestic slave, you don't want to advise Your Majesty, but you are spewing blood at every word, and you are really a eunuch who is a disaster to the country."

Jiang Qin fell to his knees and shouted through gritted teeth.

Liu Jin shook his body without smiling, looking at his eyes, as if he was looking at a dead man.

As the great eunuch of the palm seal, Liu Jin not only holds the East Factory, but also ranks fourth in the weapon spectrum. The power is monstrous, and even the cabinet scholars want to give him three points. A small imperial history is really not in his eyes.

Seeing that Jiang Qin was not convinced, Emperor Zhengde took out a copy of Dongchang's secret music and smashed it directly on his head: "You are really not a thing, take a good look." ”

Jiang Qin opened this secret recital, and the crimes one by one, the time and place were clearly recorded.

The more he looked, the more frightened he became, and he saw that his legs and stomach began to swing at the end.

Seeing this, the other courtiers all looked up at the glazed tiles on the hall and pretended not to see anything.

Emperor Zhengde is obviously prepared.

Although Liu Jin did not mention King Ning in the crime, everyone knew that Jiang Qin was King Ning's person. It seems that Emperor Zhengde has begun to clean the court first. No one could guess how many people's incriminating evidence had been found in Dongchang, and for a while, cold sweat flowed on the foreheads of many courtiers.

"Come on, drag this dog down and cut it down."

Emperor Zhengde had Tianxian in his mouth, and as soon as he gave the order, a large internal guard stepped forward and dragged Jiang Qin down and beheaded him, and even the interrogation procedure was dispensed with.

Liu Jin looked at the bloody head of Jiang Qin being presented, and laughed expressionlessly, this kind of little minion doesn't need him to do it at all.

"I want to tour the south, everyone in the DPRK and China, who is in favor and who is against?"

Emperor Zhengde sat on the dragon throne, and swept over a group of courtiers with his powerful and fierce gaze.

For a while, no one dared to respond, and the court was silent.

Li Dongyang, the head of the cabinet scholars and the first assistant, suddenly stepped forward: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

"The ministers seconded the proposal."

The hundred officials fell to the ground, and no one dared to object.

……

"The storm is coming."

Standing on the building of the Ningwang Mansion Courtyard, Zhou Xingzu looked at the dark clouds in the sky and suddenly sighed.

After he came to Nanchang from Suzhou City, he had no time to go back.

Because the entire Ning Wangfu is already preparing for the incident.

The first thing Ning Wan had to do was to start gathering the army. In addition to the vassal king's guard camp, the young men in the fief were also all armed and stationed in the dock fort outside Nanchang City.

A total of 30,000 horses, all trained armor soldiers, in addition to tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, scattered in several nearby prefectures, as long as an order, the army can sweep the world.

Zhou Xingzu, as the master of the Peach Blossom Nunnery, was of course left by King Ning's side at such a critical moment. Relying on his own strong martial arts, he lived in King Ning's mansion and was responsible for protecting King Ning.

Otherwise, before the incident, Ning Wan would have been assassinated and died, then don't play this game.
