Zhu Di sat in the Qianqing Palace, looking at a note placed in front of the imperial eucalyptus by Wang Cheng, his face was calm, but his heart had already set off turbulent waves.

This note came from the Ministry of Rites, and it was Hu Hu, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who was overwhelmed by the impeachment of hundreds of officials, and resigned, which was also his method of protecting himself.

Zhu Di could see it, but he didn't intend to let him go.

After a long time, Zhu Di said slowly: "The edict of the Emperor Hui Hui is back to the Ministry of Rites, Hu Hu is an old minister of many dynasties, and this time the compilation of the traitorous ministers is even more laborious, and he will not resign." ”

When he heard that Wang Cheng personally brought the music from the Qianqing Palace, Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who was sitting at home, was stunned for a while.

He sighed: "Your Majesty is unwilling to let go of the old minister." ”

"I think I have been through six dynasties, but I didn't expect to go through such disasters in my old age, Your Majesty is forcing me to make a choice and force me to stand up."

"Compiling a record of traitors has now ruined my reputation, just ...... it."

Wang Cheng heard Hu Hui's self-talk, and suddenly seemed to understand the intention of Emperor Jingtai's edict, he was a eunuch, although he was very experienced in the struggle in the inner court, but there were some things in the court that he still didn't understand.

Zhu Di's edict, in the ears of an old minister like Hu Hu, who has been in the court for a long time, is basically the other two sentences.

"Almost, do you think you'll be able to get out?"

"Hurry up and get back to me, and follow me together!"

Hu Hu is very familiar with the way Emperor Taizongwen used to do things, and this edict is extremely similar to the handwriting of Emperor Taizongwen before.

Now Hu Hu has only two ways, either he will continue to work hard, or maybe after a while, his reputation will return to what it used to be.

Either he continued to make excuses to resign again and again, but after that, everything in the court had nothing to do with him, and it is not yet known what the future would be.

Wang Cheng thought left and right, and soon understood, seeing that Hu Hu was eating at the moment, he smiled and said:

"Lord Hu doesn't have to worry, the emperor naturally has his old man's plan, those of us who are courtiers just need to follow suit."

Hu Hu glanced at the eunuch and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, there is no other way, please return to Your Majesty, and say that the minister wants to ask for an official for his protégé." ”

When Wang Cheng returned to the Qianqing Palace and said these words to Zhu Di, he immediately laughed: "This old thing, I still understand what I mean!" ”

"Accurate!"

"The edict was passed on to the cabinet, and with the work of the editor-in-chief, Hu Hu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was appointed as the prince and the prince, and as for the protégés he said, it was accurate."

Zhu Di knew that Wang Cheng was using the method of asking for officials from relevant people to reassure himself.

To deal with Hu Hu, an old monster who was an official in the Yongle Dynasty, Zhu Di naturally has a different method, neither treating them lightly, nor letting them be too presumptuous.

......

Following.

West Garden.

Zhu Di, who was dressed in armor, stood here, and at this moment, what he saw in front of him was the four guards of the government army belonging to the command of the pro-army envoy, as well as the Beijing troops of the Shenji Battalion and the Rear Army Governor's Mansion.

These horses are all meritorious men who followed Zhu Di in the coup d'état not long ago.

Zhu Di has always been busy stabilizing the situation and killing old ministers, for these ministers from the dragon, they have not yet had time to be rewarded, and today they came to Xiyuan to order troops, the purpose is to tell them their thoughts.

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!"

"Hooray!

”

Listening to the cheers in the sky, Zhu Di seemed to return to the previous life in an instant when he ordered troops in Xiyuan to prepare for the Northern Expedition to Mongolia, and his spirit was floating on his face.

Zhu Di raised his hand, and the audience suddenly became silent.

Many soldiers who threw their heads and spilled their blood, put their lives behind them, and followed Zhu Di to launch a coup d'état, all cast their eyes on it.

"You will follow me, pacify the Sun family, kill the chaos, I will remember these meritorious deeds, and I will be rewarded one by one in the future, but not now."

"I'm sorry to everyone!"

Then, Zhu Di looked at the audience and said, "Chen Mao, I still owe you a title to the Chen family, this is a matter of time or time, I remember it!" ”

Chen Mao had not waited for the holy decree of the re-reward, and he couldn't help but be suspicious in his heart, and when he heard this, he immediately stepped forward and said: "The relatives of the ministers, I am willing to follow Your Majesty before and after the saddle and continue to fight on the battlefield!" ”

"I'm afraid that you will be wronged, I am the Son of Heaven, this is the promise of the Son of Heaven to you!" When Zhu Di said this, he turned his head and shouted to the rest of him:

"This is also my promise to you, the son of the great tomorrow, after killing the old ministers, I will definitely reward you for your merits, everyone has it!"

All the soldiers raised their swords and guns in their hands and shouted long live.

The shocking sound pierced through the sky, and even half of Beijing could be heard clearly.

Zhu Di immediately drew his sword, "Let's start!" ”

For a time, tens of thousands of soldiers began to hold military parades in an orderly manner, although the scale was not large, and there were no important ministers of the court to participate, but everyone was very hardworking.

After all, they are following the emperor's noble act of killing traitors, and everyone will be rewarded afterwards, and the whole family will be blessed in front of them!

At the same time, Fengyue Tower.

Many literati and heard the shouting and killing sound faintly coming from the west of the city, and the rumors were all spreading, and Emperor Jingtai ordered troops in Xiyuan today.

Xiyuan is in the imperial city, Yongle years to build the regimental city, the Xiyuan for the first time to expand, Zhu Di five times before the invasion of Mongolia, have been in the Xiyuan troops.

Therefore, Xiyuan also became the place where the emperor ordered troops before the imperial expedition.

Now that Zhu Di has seized power, such a huge military parade was held in Xiyuan in this delicate period, and even the cabinet and the military department were not notified, and the intention was obvious.

Zhu Di was showing off his force to the entire city of Beijing to deter Xiaoxiao, telling them that since they had the ability to coup once, there would be a second time.

News from other places also began to spread to Beijing in the past few days.

......

Since Zhu Di ordered troops in Xiyuan in May of the first year of Jingtai, people with a heart have found that there are large-scale troop transfers in various places.

For example, Sun Bo, who was stationed at Bauhinia Pass, was transferred back to the capital in the name of enriching the military equipment of the Beijing division and took over the five military camps after the coup.

Shi Biao, who was stationed at Juyong Pass, was transferred to Bauhinia Pass, and Liu Ju, who had made a difference in the defense of Beijing, was transferred to Juyong Pass by Zhu Di under the pretext of quelling the chaos.

And Zhu Di suddenly sent an edict to the cabinet one day, to pursue the exploits of Zhang Yu, the king of Hejian, in the Yongle period and rehabilitate Zhang Hui.

As soon as this edict arrived in the cabinet, it immediately stirred up a thousand waves.

The last edict to kill the old ministers didn't dare to be issued, and the next one came, and Emperor Jingtai's meaning was obvious, this was to win over the nobles.

Zhang Hui is the son of Zhang Yu, the king of Hejian, and the younger brother of Zhang Fu, the king of Dingxing.

In the past, this kind of edict would have been retained.

But now it is different, the cabinet is no longer a hall of words of the civilian clique, and the newly promoted businessmen in the cabinet are typical of the Jingtai Party.

Under the vigorous promotion of the scholars of Dongge University, and the auxiliary ministers Wang Yining and Jiang Yuan, the matter of Zhang Hui's attack on the Duke of England had to be put on the agenda.

And this matter is mainly in charge of the Ministry of Rites in charge of Hu Hui.
