Tianqi laughed after hearing this: "I thought you wanted me to follow Taizu's example and return to Fengyang to raise troops. ”

"It's not that far, after all, His Majesty's Martial Arts Academy Enlisted Student Corps has just defeated Jiannu."

Zhang Gui replied with a smile.

Tianqi nodded, and suddenly said very seriously: "Then let the enlisted student corps of the Martial Arts Academy suppress these soldiers who demonstrate to the imperial court, they are rebels against thieves, which is tantamount to rebellion!" ”

Saying that, the apocalypse asked Wei Zhongxian to draft a decree.

Wei Zhongxian agreed.

But not long after, Wei Zhongxian walked back and said, "Emperor! The cabinet ministers Jiuqing and the ministers of the ministries are asking to see outside! ”

After hearing this, Tianqi walked out quickly and came to the gate of the West Garden.

At this time, there were thousands of ministers who came to the gate of Xiyuan, and they couldn't see the edge at a glance.

Zhang Gui, who came out with the Apocalypse, didn't expect so many ministers to come, so he couldn't help but glance at the Apocalypse, and said in his heart: "Sure enough, the Great Purge is not so easy, and the entire civil government has begun to make a decisive attack on their emperor!" Those who came to the outside of Xiyuan should be relatively mild, and they are sincerely considered for the emperor, but I am afraid that those scholars outside the Imperial Court are already clamoring for the destruction of the country and the world if they do not obey them, right? ”

Tianqi was also calm at this time, only looked at Zhu Guozuo, Sun Chengzong, Yang Lian and other ministers and asked, "What do you see about me?" ”

"Your Majesty, please forgive the sins of the scholars outside the Imperial Court, and follow the people's feelings!"

At this time, among the ministers, Taichang Temple Qing Shen Yongmao shouted first.

Immediately, Yang Lian, the imperial history of the left capital, also followed: "Your Majesty, there are thousands of scholars blocked in the Imperial Procuratorate, and they all ask Your Majesty to release Li Sancai, and deal with them lightly as the king of letters to petition the ministers, and to govern the country with benevolence!" And the minister also persuaded them, but they refused to leave, and now from this point of view, it is difficult to disobey the morale! Please also ask Your Majesty to be clear! ”

Tianqi said: "I am ready to make an order, and the enlisted student corps will go to suppress it, so you don't have to worry too much!" ”

After hearing this, Yang Lian hurriedly said: "Your Majesty can't!" ”

Immediately, Yang Lian stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, they all represent the hearts of the world's corporals, if you deal with them like this, I am afraid that Your Majesty will lose the hearts of the people in the world!" ”

"Your Majesty, please retract this!"

Zhu Guozuo also shouted, and asked, "Does Your Majesty really want to isolate himself from Shilin?!" ”

"Could it be that the emperor's national law is ignored?!"

Apocalypse also shouted.

"Your Majesty, the husband's decree must be his own favor, and the political affairs of Judah must be due to customs. For the sake of government, not because of customs, it is not enough to speak of good governance; It is not a good law to be a good law for the sake of the law without personal feelings. If Your Majesty wants to do good governance and implement good laws, you should listen to the people! ”

Shen Yongmao retorted at this time.

Tianqi's expression began to become cold, and he said: "I am the world, the exit is constitutional, and there is no reason to take it back!" Their rebellion is rebellion, and there is no reason to hide it! You say that you are cutting yourself off from Shilin by doing this, and you are also cutting yourself off from me by doing this now! The emperor has a saying, the minister must have the way of ministers, and the king must have the way of kings, you ask yourself, do you still have the way of ministers now?! ”

Yang Lian held the elephant wat and stepped forward again, confronting the apocalypse very stiffly: "Your Majesty! It is precisely because of abiding by the way of the ministers that the ministers are here to admonish Your Majesty! Please Your Majesty put the community first, don't be rash! ”

"Please Your Majesty put the community first, don't be rash!"

The other ministers followed suit.

Apocalypse laughed angrily: "Do you really think I'm acting rashly? Still won't tell me the truth? ”

"I'm acting rashly? What is the situation inside and outside the Ming Dynasty, and what is the situation of the income and expenditure of the household department, don't you know better than me?! ”

Tianqi roared and said, "I don't want to be a social worker, if I really just want to be a carpenter, why bother to rehabilitate Zhang Juzheng." ”

"Your Majesty's heart of innovation, the ministers know that now more than a thousand scholars are making trouble in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, in fact, it is not for a Li Xiuwu, but for His Majesty's desire to change the law that His Majesty has long shown, which makes the rentier in the world very vigilant, they are afraid that they will really change the law again, but Your Majesty, it is not the early years of Wanli! Although the ministers also have the heart to sweep away the maladministration of the world for His Majesty, this time His Majesty only arrested one Li Xiuwu and only suppressed the scholars of Suzhou Prefecture, which caused such a strong reaction from the scholars, which shows that the world has reached the time when it is no longer possible to get rid of maladministration. ”

Yuan Keli, who had returned to Beijing and was promoted to the left deputy capital of the imperial history, couldn't help but stand up and say to the apocalypse at this time.

Immediately, in a desperate tone, he said to the apocalypse: "The illness is terminal, Your Majesty can only be the son of heaven!" ”

"I ask you, are they rebellious?"

Apocalypse asked suddenly, calmly.

The ministers were silent at first, and then Yuan Keli replied first: "Yes!" ”

Immediately, the other ministers followed suit and said, "Yes! ”

Apocalypse therefore gritted his teeth and said, "The rebel cannot forgive!" ”

As he spoke, Tianqi commanded: "Zhang Gui, the commander of the Beijing camp! ”

"The minister is here!"

Zhang Gui responded.

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, Emperor Sun Chengzong stood up, held an elephant wat in front of the Apocalypse, and asked very seriously: "Do you really want to force them to cut off the grain and make the world chaotic, so that you are willing to give in to them?!" ”

Sun Chengzong added again as he spoke: "Your Majesty, now is really not the time to be rash!" ”

Tianqi still has a lot of feelings for Sun Chengzong, after all, Sun Chengzong really taught him for a while, and he also knows that he respects Sun Chengzong as a gentleman.

Historically, no matter how dissatisfied Wei Zhongxian, who controlled the government, was dissatisfied with Sun Chengzong, he couldn't do anything about Sun Chengzong, because the apocalypse was still worried about Sun Chengzong's teacher-student relationship.

And because of this, after Sun Chengzong stood up and said the same thing at this time, Tianqi's eyes moistened: "I didn't expect that even you, master, are against me!" To say that I am willful! ”

Of course, Tianqi was indeed touched by Sun Chengzong's words at this time, and he had to admit that the biggest capital of the world's gentry is that the world's wealth is controlled in their hands.

After Sun Chengzong was said by the apocalypse, his whole person shook a little, but in the end he didn't say much.

"Your Majesty, the minister has something to say."

Zhang Gui stood up at this time.

"Speak!"

Apocalypse said in a deep voice.

Zhang Gui looked at these ministers and said, "You know whether what those troublesome scholars are doing is right or wrong, and you also know what kind of purpose they have, and you know Your Majesty's thoughts!" But you are asking Your Majesty to be soft on them. I don't think you are your Majesty's courtiers, but like theirs. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Gui suddenly asked loudly, "Where the hell is your ass sitting there?!" ”

As soon as Zhang Gui asked this, Sun Chengzong, who was already quite guilty by Tianqi's sentence that "the master is also against me", knelt down first, prostrate on the ground, and choked up: "Your Majesty! The ministers are doing this for the sake of Your Majesty! Uncle Guo's words are really hurtful and ruthless! Whining! ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are all brave and loyal, so they dare to say this!"

Zhu Guozuo and the others also crawled on the ground, crying one by one, as if they were also aggrieved.

"It is reasonable for you to worry that the grain will be cut off, and then the social grain will be damaged, but the grain is cut off, which does not mean that the social grain will really be broken!"

Zhang Gui turned to the apocalypse and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is still the same sentence, the minister can solve the risk of the grain being cut off." ”

Immediately, Zhang Gui looked at these ministers again: "So, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, the question now is to see if this Manchu Dynasty civil official is willing to follow His Majesty to get rid of the bad government in the world, if he is willing, a relative of the minister naturally does not have to interfere in internal affairs, just feel at ease to get some food for the court to come back, but if they are unwilling." ”

Zhang Gui said, then turned to Tianqi again and said: "Then please let Your Majesty let the eunuch dictatorship of Gonggong Wei, otherwise let the dictatorship of the ministers, the foreign relatives, not take them to play!" It's really not good, it's a big deal to follow Taizu's example, organize the rebel army, and start from scratch! Anyway, there are Confucian students in the world who have no way to serve the country, and they must be willing to follow His Majesty to change things again! ”

Apocalypse suddenly laughed: "I can see it." ”

"Uncle Guo, please take back this! It's not that time yet! Besides, there is no one who is unwilling to support His Majesty's abolition of the world's maladministration! We are blessed by the country, and it is not that we can't be Wang Shu'an (Wang Guoguang), Wang Shaozai (Wang Seal) and others! ”

Yuan Keli said quickly.

He didn't expect that this Uncle Zhang Guo would threaten to take His Majesty the Emperor to lift the table together!

Moreover, he also knew that if these civil officials continued to be moderate, the emperor would not take his own people to play.

Therefore, Yuan Keli had to hurriedly express his attitude.
