They were not satisfied with the will of the Emperor of the Apocalypse to punish Zhu Yinglong, and asked the Emperor of the Apocalypse to punish King Xin.

Dozens of officials cried together at the Huiji Gate, shouting for the emperor to be close to the virtuous ministers and far away villains, to accept advice, and punish the king.

Some people even picked up the evidence of the ten crimes of the king and read them one by one, from being rebellious and difficult to peace, to competing with the people for profit, to not cultivating virtue, etc., the righteousness of one by one is awe-inspiring.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was so annoyed that he intended to let the cabinet ministers mediate, but instead of helping, he was also advised by the cabinet ministers.

Cabinet Minister Han Yi is a calm character, and he said bluntly: "This time the advice of the hundred officials is obviously because of Zhu Yinglong's case, but in fact, he is worried that the emperor will reuse the prince and mess up the etiquette and law, making the court unstable. ”

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, he stretched his face and said, "Han Gong, King Xin has both virtue and ability, and I let him assist him in order to stabilize the court." ”

"But now that the ministers have advised him, the six departments have even refuted the will, is this the emperor's intention?"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse was speechless, he had indeed planned well, but underestimated the reaction of the courtiers.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said: "Boss, at this time, let's think of a way to calm the anger of the hundred officials." ”

Han Yi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, what the old minister should say has been said." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at him dissatisfied, "Han Gong, that's all I want, can't I agree to this request?" ”

"The state has national laws, and I hope that the emperor will order King Xin to open the mansion as soon as possible and go to the fief."

"King Shin is still young, how can he be a feudal domain?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse was furious.

"Your Majesty, if you believe that the king is safe and keeps to himself, he can naturally grow up in the capital. But now the wind is shaking, the court is turbulent, and the officials are admonishing, and the crux of all this is on King Xin. Could it be that the emperor really wanted to believe in the king, the monarchs and ministers were centrifuged, and confronted hundreds of officials to the end, forcing the six departments to resign, and forcing the hundred officials to die? ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and then the Emperor of the Apocalypse held his forehead with a tired expression, and said weakly: "I know, Han Gong go down and rest." ”

Han Yi looked at the young Emperor of the Apocalypse, sighed softly, and left quietly.

At this time, the emperor still refused to admit defeat. If it weren't for the fear of being forced too hard, Han Yi and other cabinet ministers would also want to speak out and persuade the Emperor of the Apocalypse to comply.

After pondering for a while, the Emperor of the Apocalypse stood up from the dragon chair, only to feel dizzy and exhausted.

Dealing with state affairs is already very hard, and it takes a lot of effort and hundreds of officials to deal with, and he is really a little overwhelmed.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly held it up, and said with a crying voice: "The emperor takes care of the dragon body." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said in frustration: "Wei Banban, is it really impossible to do it now?" ”

Wei Zhongxian naturally didn't want the emperor to reuse King Xin, but he just said softly: "The emperor's dragon body is important, so don't think about these things first." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded, summoned Tan Jing, and wanted to go to the Xuanmao Palace to meet the King of Xin.

When the emperor's guard of honor left, Wei Zhongxian summoned his henchmen and eunuchs and advised: "The emperor has a plan to retreat in his heart, you tell our people, and add more fire." ”

Emperor Tianqi set up the Mao Palace, thinking that the court was in turmoil, and King Xin should be sad and anxious, but he didn't expect Zhu Youzhen to sit on the table like a person who was fine, and was telling a group of palace maids and eunuchs, and then telling the story of Journey to the West.

Seeing that the emperor was coming, all the palace people fled one after another.

"I was angry in the previous dynasty, but Brother Jian was at ease." The Emperor of the Apocalypse was a little dissatisfied.

"Brother Huang, if others make you angry, don't sprinkle it on your brother."

Zhu Youzhen took out a crystal cup and poured a cup of Sprite.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse had a fire in his heart, picked it up and took a sip, and couldn't help but let out a long breath.

"It's so cool, where did you get this good thing?"

Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "This is Sprite, which I saw when my brother was in Taixu, and it was just developed some time ago. ”

"It's cool, but it's good." The Emperor of the Apocalypse drank it all.

Zhu Youzhen said: "If the imperial brother likes it, the younger brother can pay tribute." But ......"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said angrily: "If you have any requests, say it quickly." ”

Zhu Youzhen said with a smile: "However, the younger brother wants to ask the imperial brother to write a word, which is the word Sprite." ”

"You slippery head, you have so many little calculations to drink your drink."

Although he said this, the Emperor of the Apocalypse still stood up and let Tan Jing Mo Mo, Long Fei Feng Wu wrote the word Sprite, and also wrote Ruyi Lou on the side.

When he raised his head, he saw that Zhu Youzhen was still a little dissatisfied, so he had to take out his personal seal and cover it.

Zhu Youzhen hurriedly took the paper, carefully dried the ink, and asked Cao Huachun to find someone to frame it and hang it in Ruyi Building.

With the emperor's handwriting, Ruyilou's business will definitely go to a higher level.

"I heard that Dong Guanghong suffered an accident and was injured?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse wiped his hands and asked.

Zhu Youzhen nodded and said, "The younger brother has just returned from the Dong family, and the imperial doctor has diagnosed and treated him, and he said that the injury was not light. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse had an ugly face, and he also thought of this court struggle, Dong Guanghong was a very important part.

"This time, the courtiers reacted greatly, Dong Guanghong was injured again, it seems that it is unlikely that you will be appointed as an official." The Emperor of the Apocalypse said with some frustration.

Zhu Youzhen patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Brother Huang, let's discuss and make good friends with the sons of Xungui." If you have to let your subordinates meddle in government affairs, how can these civil officials not be in a hurry. Okay, this is a big step, let's talk about it. ”

"Get out." The Emperor of the Apocalypse scolded Zhu Youzhen angrily, "I don't want you to familiarize yourself with government affairs as soon as possible. ”

He sighed and said, "I am blessed, my heir died young, and my health is not good." Although you have a younger brother, you have not received imperial education since you were a child, and you can only have some rigid principles of Confucianism. How do you put my mind at ease? ”

Only then did Zhu Youzhen understand his imperial brother's good intentions.

As long as his cheap brother has no heirs for a day, he is the orthodox heir of the Ming Dynasty. When the brother dies and the brother dies, he will ascend to the position of the ninety-five.

In later generations, he ascended to the throne and got rid of Wei Zhongxian, but it was because of his belief in the rigid truth of Confucianism that he was forced to become a radical maniac by the chaos of the court and politics, and finally the country was ruined.

"Brother Huang, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, and it is impossible for civil officials to let you support a eunuch party and then support a prince's power."

The Emperor of the Apocalypse nodded, and the current chaos made him understand this truth as well.

It's just that now the turbulent situation in the court has formed, and it can't be solved by him retreating in the face of difficulties. The civil officials have already built up momentum, and if the emperor does not punish the king of faith, they will not give up.

This emperor deserves to be so bitter.

After sending off the Emperor of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youzhen's face was also gloomy and terrifying.

If the chaos of the late Ming Dynasty is to be resolved, either it is to strengthen the centralization of imperial power, or it is to appear a puppet emperor of political forces and unify the decrees.

As the Prince of Daming, a natural defender of imperial power, Zhu Youzhen never thought of handing over power to civilian officials. What he wants to do is to strengthen the imperial power and promote reforms, so that the Ming Dynasty can survive.

And to do this, the civilian clique is its biggest obstacle.

This time, I must tear apart the mask of hypocrisy of the civilian clique and deal a good blow to their arrogance.
