Although the best result was to give them 300,000 taels of real money and silk according to the plan of the Ministry of Rites, it would not be too bad if they sent salt introductions, but they never expected that His Majesty would cancel the enthronement and not give it.

Seeing that the fat in the mouth is gone, this is uncomfortable in anyone's heart, and now this kind of thing is happening to them.

It's just that you can't blame Your Majesty for this matter, after all, it is not a rule of this dynasty to enthrone the throne, and Your Majesty agreed that it was Your Majesty's benevolence. It's just that now the Qing faction has actually played a rebuttal, and it has been disrespectful to His Majesty and the first emperor, and it is no wonder that His Majesty suddenly flipped the table.

But they're innocent!

From then on, they watched the fire from the other side, eating melon seeds and watching the play, and as a result, the reward of the throne was gone, which was really a disaster.

"Your Majesty, this move is inappropriate, the enthronement is the benevolent government of the Ming monarch, it is not impossible!" Xu Pu's face changed suddenly, and he pointed out the stakes.

Benevolent?

Zhu Youzhu was very disdainful in his heart, these people probably still thought that they were fools who were easy to fool, and they didn't pay attention to the requests of Xu Pu and the others at all, so they left the throne with an expressionless face and walked towards the dragon chariot behind.

Originally, I wanted to have a good time with you, even if it was a matter of enthronement that harmed the public and private interests, it could be conditionally passed, after all, the primary goal of his own government was to clean up the salt evils.

It's just that these people think that the emperor is a fool and easy to bully, and since they want to protect the big cake of Yanzheng, then they don't blame themselves, the emperor, for beating people and flipping the table with a stick.

Guo Yong held the Buddha dust in his hand and despised Xu Pu and the others, so he sang to the civil and military officials in front of the Fengtian Gate: "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”

"Ministers and other respectful to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" Wan An, the first assistant of the cabinet, and other officials knelt down one after another, sending off the Ming Emperor to leave.

At this moment, many officials no longer dare to despise this young emperor, and no one wants to follow in the footsteps of Li Min, the secretary of the household department.

"It's over!"

Li Min sat down on the ground, staring blankly at Fengtianmen.

With a crown to live idle, although he was suspended from his official position, Zhu Youji's definition of him was "You are not only the favor of the emperor, but also not a good minister of me", how could you still allow yourself to return to the household?

The reason why Zhu Youzhu let himself "bring the crown" is probably because of the power tricks of this young emperor, which is just a transitional way to remove officials, so as to avoid a strong backlash from their Qingliu forces.

As soon as he thought of this, he had a dead heart, and it was not easy to climb to his current high position, but now it has all become a bubble.

"Lord Yuanfu, I'm afraid that Your Majesty will not issue the enthronement grace this time, what should I do now?" Liu Ji got up from the ground and asked Wan An beside him.

The corners of Wan An's mouth rose slightly, and he looked at Xu Pu with schadenfreude and said, "Someone has messed up, what does this matter have to do with the two of us?" ”

If Xu Pu really accomplished this matter, then the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty would remember Xu Pu's good, and naturally become a well-deserved leader of the civil and official group.

It's just that now it's a mess, His Majesty has already nodded and agreed to promulgate the enthronement, but Xu Pu dared to refute the will in order to achieve the goal, and it is not to blame the new monarch for lifting the table.

Although Xu Pu did succeed in preventing His Majesty from issuing more than 300,000 salt leads, in the end, he did not get any benefits for the civil official group, which can be said to be lifting a stone and shooting himself in the foot.

How many Wenchen support can Xu Pu bring to Xu Pu before, but now he is hated by double the number of Wenchen, and there are even people who scold their ancestors behind their backs.

Liu Ji found out that this was really the case, after all, this matter was a dispute between His Majesty and Xu Pu, and they didn't need to be involved in it at all. Whichever side loses, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

"Let's go back!" Wan An glanced thoughtfully at Du Ming, the secretary of the Criminal Department in the square, and invited Liu Ji to authentic.

Liu Ji keenly caught this, and finally knew that Wan An had a grudge against Xu Pu, so he quietly arched his hand and said: "Obey!" ”

Perhaps because Xu Pu is pressing step by step, the relationship between the two cabinet ministers seems to have been repaired.

Ni Yue, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, saw that the situation was completely out of control, and couldn't help but say to Xu Pu worriedly: "Master Xu, what should I do now?" ”

"I'll go to the Qianqing Palace immediately to face the saint!" Xu Pu's face sank, and he made a decision.

At this moment, if you want things to settle down, then the only way is to let Zhu Youji change his position. In addition to letting Zhu Youzhu continue to implement the enthronement grace, Zhu Youzhu was also asked to cancel Li Min's idle residence with a crown.

Ni Yue, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, looked at Xu Pu with complicated eyes, thinking that this prince's old master was favored, but this time I am afraid that the door of the Qianqing Palace will not be able to enter.

It has actually been some time since the new monarch ascended the throne, but there are only a handful of officials who can be summoned to the Qianqing Palace, and Xu Pu has never had the honor to set foot here, and it is impossible to be received by His Majesty this time.

The sky in Beijing is still gloomy, but the world is noticeably brighter.

The Fengtian Gate in front of him is even more splendid, the stone lion in front of the gate has a more hideous expression, and the owner who lives in this palace is even more intimidating.

Since the early dynasty had ended, more than 1,000 civil and military officials slowly dispersed and were walking towards the noon gate in groups of three or five, and today's court meeting provided them with a lot of talking points.

The Thirteenth Division of the Household Department saw that His Majesty had taken down Li Min, the secretary of the Household Department, and the successor must be Li Si, the left attendant of the Household Department, so that they faintly saw a dazzling road to promotion.

If it is said that in the past, it was possible to look at the iron triangle horse of the household department, but judging from the current situation, the most beneficial way for them to do is to stab them in the back.

As for the dispute over the salt administration, they naturally no longer believe that everything can be resolved by stopping the indiscriminate distribution of salt, but are deeply aware of the harm of collusion between local officials and businessmen.

"Brother Si, congratulations on being promoted to Guangxi Shilangzhong!" Chen Kun took the initiative to come over and congratulated Liu Zhong, who was as cold as frost.

Liu Zhong has always disliked this fellow Chen Kun, but he rolled his eyes directly, and strode towards the direction of the noon gate.

Chen Kun was not angry, and his face was still smiling like Maitreya Buddha.

He knew that only Liu Zhong was the most incorruptible in the entire household department, and now His Majesty obviously excluded the civil servants who formed the party, and Liu Zhong, a loyal and capable lone minister, was easily reused by His Majesty.

"This is Tianwei!"

Xie Qian looked at the throne and couldn't help muttering to himself.

He witnessed the whole process of today's court meeting, and his memory of the submissive and indecisive prince became more and more blurred, and the image of a wise and resolute emperor became more and more distinct.

No matter what he thought before, if he still regarded this high emperor as a fool, then he was the biggest fool in the world.

If you want to get ahead in the new dynasty, it is no longer enough to rely on your old identity and officialdom resources in the East Palace, but the most important thing is the holy family.

The wind was a little cold today, and he was in a very lost mood.

Xie Qian knew that his performance in the Prince's Mansion in the past might not be satisfactory to His Majesty, and since he was still Xu Pu's protégé, it was naturally impossible for him to be reused.

When he was about to leave, he saw Liu Jin hurriedly walking towards Zhang Sheng again, and he couldn't help but feel mixed feelings in his heart. is also an old man in the East Palace, but the treatment is already very poor.

The jealousy in Xie Qian's heart was like a wild grass growing wildly, but he was out of sight and out of mind, and when he was about to leave, Zhang Sheng nodded at Liu Jin, and then walked towards him with Liu Jin.

What kind of plane? Can't you keep a low profile now that you are favored by Your Majesty? still brought people over to show themselves, are you Zhang Sheng still human?

Zhang Sheng didn't know what Xie Qian was thinking at this time, and asked seriously: "Brother Xie, I remember that you are proficient in poetry, but is this the case?" ”

"This is natural!" Xie Qian glanced at Zhang Sheng with disdain, looking very proud.

Unlike Zhang Sheng, who was born in poverty and only knew how to immerse himself in reading the books of sages, he grew up in a wealthy family, and at the age of fourteen, he knew which side the Qinglou was opening, and he captured the body of the old bustard with a poem.

Zhang Sheng's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately invited: "Brother Xie, would you like to face the saint with me?" ”

Xie Qian caught the other party as if he was begging for something, and when he was ready to refuse, his eyes were about to pop out when he heard the last two words.

Zhang Sheng thought that Xie Qian was hesitating, and even said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Xie, you and I are both courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, don't you want to share your worries for the king?" ”

"I do!" Xie Qian's throat was dry, but he finally spit out three words.
