The hundred officials wrapped the first assistant Zhou Yanru and walked directly to the imperial city.

At this time, Zhou Yanru could no longer refuse.

What's more, although Zhou Yanru noticed that something was wrong, he didn't think too much about it.

As the first assistant, he couldn't understand Chongzhen's character anymore, so he didn't think that Chongzhen would do anything to these ministers.

The generals guarding the door stopped directly in front of these officials, "The forbidden place of the palace, what do you want to do?" ”

These officials didn't take these guards in their eyes at all, and Zhou Yanru said directly: "I'll wait for something important to enter the palace to face the saint, so you can get out of the way quickly." ”

"The forbidden place of the palace, how can you allow Er and others to trespass?"

The gatekeeper, who had already received the order, did not back down in the slightest, and directly reprimanded: "If you have any problems, I can go and inform Your Majesty now, as for whether you can see you or not, it is Your Majesty's business." ”

"Now that you have gathered a crowd to break in, do you want to rebel?"

"Presumptuous !!"

Seeing that a small palace guard dared to stop them, these ministers were immediately furious, "We are all important ministers of the imperial court, how can you speak here?" ”

"Get out of the way quickly, I'll face the saint soon!"

These people rushed in a rage, how could they be stopped by these guards outside the palace, and for a while, they ignored the sword soldiers one by one, and they were about to rush forward.

And although those guards were a little flustered in their hearts, because they had been ordered before, they did not choose to retreat, but directly raised their knives to confront these officials.

Seeing these ministers getting closer and closer, the conflict was about to break out, and at this time, Wang Chengen, who didn't know when he arrived, suddenly walked out from behind.

"Your Excellency forcibly broke into the palace, is this trying to force the palace?"

Wang Chengen looked at these ministers gathered at this time, and his face couldn't help but be a little gloomy.

Originally, he thought that even if these ministers were dissatisfied, the palace would be the first to report it.

Now it seems that he was wrong, and Long Live Lord is right.

They really want to break in, where do they put the majesty of the royal family, and where do they put the Lord Banzai!

Looking at Wang Chengen, who suddenly appeared, these officials stopped directly.

The weight of what different people say is different, those guards blocked them before, they could ignore it, but now that Wang Chengen came forward to stop them, even Zhou Yanru didn't dare to ignore him.

"The prince has misunderstood, how dare I force the palace."

Zhou Yanru denied the big hat that Wang Chengen had buckled for the first time, and then said: "We gathered here just because Jinyiwei abused his power and killed the officials of the imperial court. ”

"These officials are the foundation of my Daming, those Jinyi guards who abuse their power, this is digging the foundation of my Daming, although I am a little anxious to meet the saint this time, but it is completely for my Daming, and I hope that the prince can spread it."

I have to say that the people who can be the first assistant have two brushes.

is just two sentences, not only beautifying their behavior of forcing the palace, but also directly describing them, the palace pressers, as good officials who eliminate harm for the country.

And after Zhou Yanru said this, the rest of the officials also echoed and said: "That's right, I came to see Your Majesty today in the hope that Your Majesty can get rid of the evil spirits." ”

"If I can't see Your Majesty, I won't leave today."

Wang Chengen looked coldly at the angry minister, did not speak, but silently observed who shouted the most.

After a long while, when these ministers were a little tired from shouting, and their voices stopped, he spoke: "Long live Lord already knows the news of your arrival, and our family is here to pick you up into the palace. ”

Hearing Wang Chengen's words, most of the ministers were very happy, because they felt that as long as the emperor was willing to see them, they could let the emperor punish Jinyiwei and even Dongchang, even if the emperor was unwilling, under their pressure, the emperor would definitely listen to them.

After all, there are so many of them that even if they are emperors, they can't directly confront them.

Only after Zhou Yanru heard this, his face changed slightly.

No one left the palace during the whole time they came to the palace, and there was basically no delay, and even if someone reported the news, the speed was definitely not as fast as theirs.

So how did the emperor know that they were coming, and arranged Wang Chengen to meet them here in advance, which shows that the emperor had expected it.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yanru, who had extremely rich experience in court struggle, instantly raised his vigilance.

"Is this something someone is plotting in secret? Are you trying to calculate me? ”

After these thoughts flashed in his heart, Zhou Yanru's gaze quickly swept over these fellow ministers.

And from beginning to end, he never thought that this matter was planned by Chongzhen, and he didn't even think about Chongzhen at all.

After all, he still knows very well what Chongzhen is capable of.

After being inspected by the guards, these officials with different thoughts followed Wang Chengen directly towards the Qianqing Palace.

Along the way, the palace was heavily guarded several notches compared to before.

Although the handles of these guards were not unsheathed, the nervous expressions and the solemn atmosphere still made these ministers feel a little uneasy in their hearts.

The Qianqing Palace is the place where the emperor handles political affairs and receives ministers, and most of these officials are obviously not qualified to enter the Qianqing Palace, so Wang Chengen directly arranged a courtyard for these officials and asked them to wait for the emperor to see them.

It's just that they waited for a long time, and they didn't see Lao Zhu come out.

Although the weather in Beijing in May is not very hot, the average age of these ministers is on the high side, and after standing like this for most of the day, it is obvious that their bodies are a little unbearable.

So these people frequently went to Wang Chengen and asked him when the emperor would come out to see them.

As a result, Wang Chengen said that it was almost fast every time, but they waited for almost an hour, and they didn't see Lao Zhu come out to see them.

Seeing that these ministers who had been waiting for no result were about to completely lose their patience, Wang Chengen, who had been saying that he was about to do so, really came out with Lao Zhu this time.

After Lao Zhu appeared, these ministers did not hesitate at all, and they all knelt down in unison.

"Ministers, I've seen Your Majesty."

Lao Zhu, who deliberately came out late, just to hang these ministers, did not open his mouth to let these ministers get up at this moment, but glanced at the ministers kneeling on the ground, and said lightly: "You forcibly broke into the palace today, don't you want to rebel?" ”

"The ministers don't dare."

Listening to Lao Zhu's unkind tone, these ministers hurriedly opened their mouths to explain: "Your Majesty, the ministers came today to sue Cao Huachun, the governor of Dongchang. ”

"Cao Huachun instructed Ding Xiu and Pei Lun, the chief banner of Jinyi Wei, to kill loyal ministers of the court in disregard of the law and discipline, and I hope that Your Majesty can severely punish this thief!!"

After saying this, these ministers all bowed their heads to the ground and echoed: "I hope that Your Majesty will severely punish this thief!" ”

Dozens of ministers said a word, and at the same time opened their mouths to request, at this time it was not a forced palace, it was better to force the palace, and the atmosphere in the palace was a little dignified for a while.
