With His Majesty the Emperor returning to Jinling from Hangzhou this time, the temporary capital of the Dayue Imperial Court finally gave birth to layers of turbulence.

Just when many people thought that what the emperor suddenly wanted to do about building ships and training troops on the southern coast could be interrupted by the simultaneous audience of the ministers, Wu Yisi, a yamen who had been stopped for a long time in the past three years, suddenly made a move.

In just three days, the soldiers and horses of Wuyisi went straight into the mansion of five important officials in the court, and they were high-ranking officials with a deep Jiangnan background, and they were taken away directly.

The hard-line style, coupled with the fact that this is an extremely high-ranking official who was arrested without the help of the Ministry of Justice and other judicial departments and yamen, naturally has a great impact and is also extremely bad.

Many of the courtiers felt angry and empathetic, and they quickly began a new round of tandem, and then found two more prime ministers, hoping that they would lead the complaint to the emperor.

But this time, I don't know if I got any rumors, or if I really noticed the problem, Shen Zhou, the left minister, and Xiao Changyong, the right minister, declined the requests of these subordinate officials almost at the same time.

And the reason they gave was quite reasonable, Shen Zhou used the excuse that he and Guo Chong already had a lot of friendship and needed to avoid suspicion, so he didn't make a fool of himself.

As for Xiao Changyong, he is even more straightforward, citing his old illness as an excuse, he will not go to the political hall for the time being, and he will not open the door to meet guests......

As a result, these officials could not find a better leader, so they could only unite and be led by a politician named Hong Ximiao, who asked to see the emperor again.

And Sun Ning was quite concerned about the ministers' request to see, they only invited them in front of the palace gate, and allowed the ministers to enter the meeting, and met with twenty or thirty officials in the main hall.

In terms of scale, this time it is even higher than last time, but there are two less prime ministers, and the momentum is still a lot weaker.

After letting them all get up, Sun Ning asked calmly, "You Aiqing suddenly asked to see me, what is the matter?" Is there something big going on in the city, or is there something going on at the front? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it's the court that has been wrongfully imprisoned!" Hong Ximiao, as the head of the officials, immediately stepped forward and said solemnly.

"Unjust? That's a bit of a surprise. If there is an unjust prison, why not go to the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department to complain? Why did you come to see me? Sun Ning smiled faintly, and swept around the ministers in front of him, "Hmm...... I didn't see Wu Tieyi here. ”

"Your Majesty, this injustice has nothing to do with the Three Law Divisions, but the Wuyi Division took people without authorization. The ministers really don't know, Zhao Xing of the Ministry of Rites, Cao Yan of the Ministry of Households, and Feng Dayu of the Political Affairs Hall ......" Hong Ximiao reported the identities of the five arrested officials in one breath, and then said a little fiercely, "What crimes did these adults commit, and they would be arrested directly by Wuyisi at home!"

"And Your Majesty, this Wuyi Division is not a legal secretary of the Yamen, and it is in itself an interference and blasphemy against my Dayue Decree, and I ask Your Majesty to give an explanation to the subjects of the world!"

After speaking, not only him, but also the other courtiers also knelt on the ground one after another, bowed their heads and said in unison: "Please also ask Your Majesty to know what you said today, everything is for the sake of the court's law and majesty!" ”

Sun Ning's eyes stared at the courtier kneeling in front of him, the corners of his mouth slowly curled, but his eyes were full of ridicule.

In the words of later generations, these guys are really in a hurry.

This also proves that Wu Yisi's move really hit their sore spot and made them feel threatened and afraid. That's why he hurriedly ran to the emperor to ask for an explanation, in fact, he just wanted to save people back.

Wei Shen watched from the side, but he was furious, and his body trembled a little because of this.

Because this meeting reminded him of the beginning, when the emperor was still in Luoyang, those courtiers were used to using such means and attitudes to force the emperor to agree to some of their requests.

At that time, Sun Ning was not annoyed and did not have the courage to suppress it, so he was seized power by a group of courtiers led by Zhou Guangcheng, the right minister, and led his nose.

Then, it was a broken jar and a broken can, and he really became a faint king who only knew how to indulge in wine, and then it caused the rebels to rise up in all directions, and the world was in chaos.

Unexpectedly, many years later, the same scene actually appeared again.

These courtiers once again intend to join forces and use such means to pressure the Son of Heaven to achieve their own goals!

If Wei Shen didn't know his identity and didn't dare to be presumptuous, he would have to speak on behalf of the emperor at this time.

However, as Sun Ning slowly spoke, he quickly calmed down again, and only laughed in his heart that he had overreacted.

It's not more than ten years ago, and the master is not the new monarch who has just succeeded to the throne earlier, with no means and no prestige, what is this little battle?

"Do you think that Wuyisi is acting too domineering, and it is not in line with the regulations of the imperial court, and he has no right to take people, so he came to cry out to me?" Sun Ning's words were not hurried or slow, and people couldn't hear the slightest attitude at all.

I don't know if I felt that little pressure, the ministers were silent for a while, and then Hong Ximiao replied: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the ministers really think that it is inappropriate to act like this......

"Then do you think the fact that I and the imperial court are in Jinling, and I gave Luoyang to the rebels of the Pingtian Army, is this fact appropriate?"

The sudden question suddenly made the courtiers lose their words again, and they didn't know how to answer.

"Also, in the past three or four years, the imperial court has opened a department every year to recruit scholars, and those who choose the best ones will be promoted to important members of the court, which is also the same as the previous court that only a group of jinshi will be selected as officials every three years, and they will only be appointed to official positions after three years of observation of government in various yamen.

"With such a practice that violates the rules of the imperial court for two hundred years, why don't you and other courtiers feel deeply inappropriate and come to see me?

"It's just a Wuyi Division, a yamen that I set up four or five years ago and has repeatedly made contributions in the front-line war, but you are so accused? Well? ”

The ministers' bodies stiffened suddenly, and even Hong Ximiao couldn't say anything to deal with at this time.

"I know why you're doing this. Because you feel that you can benefit from the changes that have been made before, even if there are changes in the past, you are very supportive, and you think that it is true, or at least you should not see it.

"But the authority of the Wuyi Division really threatens you and makes you feel afraid, which is why you come to cry out for grievances in such a panic.

"I'm not afraid to tell you the truth today, the authority of the Wuyi Division is to supervise the enemy army among the outsiders and supervise hundreds of officials internally, not to mention just interrogating a few officials, that is, to convict them, as long as the sentence is lawful and well-documented, I will also recognize and support it!

"Moreover, don't think that I don't know the little thoughts in your heart, some things don't get to you, not because the court doesn't know, but because I still have room for you, and I don't want to do anything about it!"

Some people died, but not completely......
