Of course, there are many people among the officials who have heard about things and arranged right and wrong, but in the same way, there are also advantages to the setting up of this official position, and there are also many people in this position who expose the darkness, crack down on corruption, criticize the emperor's inappropriateness, and make the unhealthy trend reined.

And unless the official speaks too much, he will not be punished, which is the protection of them, so that they dare to speak out.

The other emperors, even if they really hate them, will at least transfer them to a position, and there will be many officials among them to help the speaker speak, so as to prevent them from suffering because of this loophole.

Therefore, on the whole, the immunity of speech officials has been a rule that has been inherited from the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, and there are not many exceptions, which are also reasonable and convincing.

But this time, a speech official was punished and imprisoned in front of everyone, and the reason was even more inexplicable.

Everyone can see that this official is just a "routine" admonition, and the emperor actually used his imagination like this, buttoned a big hat on his head, and then directly stripped him of his official uniform in humiliation in front of everyone, which is a violation of this rule!

Was the emperor's methods tough? Very tough.

But there are more loyal officials.

Someone strode out of the ranks of officials with their heads held high, and said loudly:

"The official has the right to act without punishment, and what he says is true, let alone what His Majesty said, it is a big mistake to punish inexplicably, please ...... Your Majesty."

Zhu Changxun's face was even colder, his fists tightened involuntarily, and he burst into a shout before he finished speaking:

"Drag it down and put it in prison!"

The wolf-like Han general immediately pounced on him and concocted him in the same way.

But then, someone else stepped forward:

"Your Majesty's poor army is conscripted, this mistake is also one, punish the official, this mistake is two, punish the loyal minister, this mistake is three. Just as the king of Na Mighty shall not take slander, and shall not ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhu Changxun had already kicked the table in front of him over, his eyes were red, and his teeth were clenched.

Obviously, what he had just done had already angered some upright ministers, and this courtier was actually comparing him to King Zhou Li!

How could the arrogant Zhu Changxun accept such an evaluation?

"Drag it down and throw it into prison...... No, give me a hundred rods and throw them in! ”

He almost roared out to say this.

Ting Wei rushed up, threw the official to the ground, stripped off his official uniform, and tied him up.

Seeing the third courtier being dragged down by the Han general, the court finally fell into silence.

A hundred court rods, or a heavy beating, if you don't know how to kill this official, he will die.

Three people in a row, just a few words of advice, were all taken away from their posts and imprisoned, and some even encountered the court staff, such a fierce wrist, finally shocked the ministers.

They didn't expect that the emperor, who had behaved like a humble gentleman a few years ago, would suddenly act so ruthlessly at this time.

For a while, no one dared to speak.

In the crowd, Zuo Guangdou frowned.

He was already indignant because Yan Chenhao was forced to "introspect", and he even complained about the emperor's decision to insist on sending troops, but now that the other party is like this, where can he bear it?

With a slight movement of his steps, he is about to stand up and be the next admonition.

At this time, a hand stretched out, grabbed Zuo Guangdou's sleeve, and stopped him.

Zuo Guangdou couldn't help but turn his head and saw a middle-aged man who was about thirty or forty years old without squinting and looking ahead.

He recognized this person, his name was Yan Wenchuan, from the line of Yue Guogong, and now he is the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, and he has a good relationship with him, and he was also a Jinshi in the same department back then.

Now he shot and stopped him.

His lips twitched slightly, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito's moan:

"Your Majesty is when you are angry, don't moths to the fire...... Keep it useful for later. ”

Zuo Guangdou gritted his teeth, he was unwilling, but remembering that the water conservancy project that was about to start still needed him to preside over the overall situation, he still paused, and finally retracted his feet.

Above the court, there was a deep silence.

The corners of Zhu Changxun's mouth hooked up a sneer, and he sat back in his seat.

Seeing his ministers either bow their heads or look at him with fear and shock, he felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart that he had never felt before.

This is the majesty of the supreme in the world! No, even their own eunuchs will be afraid of their courtiers, and the ministers will dare not even refute their own words!

It turns out that this is what it feels like to be supreme...... He muttered to himself inwardly, feeling a little intoxicated, this was the first time in the nine years since he ascended the throne that he had experienced the feeling of those ministers holding their hands in their hands.

Taizu's method is really not bad.

The scene of the entire court meeting remained silent for a quarter of an hour, and Zhu Changxun finally spoke slowly:

"Do you have any more business? As much as you can. ”

There was still silence.

Even if someone has something, they don't want to come forward and say it now, God knows how the emperor who has just shown his true face will deal with it.

However, Zhu Changxun saw that no one spoke, but his eyes narrowed, and he said coldly:

"Why don't you speak? Could it be ...... Do you think that I, the emperor, is a tyrant, and it is useless to confess? Or do you look down on the court and want to settle the affairs in private? ”

Gan.

Hearing this, the ministers scolded angrily in their hearts, no matter how it drops, it's not okay if you don't speak.

But there was no way, seeing that the emperor's face was cold again, a few officials still stood up tremblingly and reported some affairs.

Fortunately, Emperor Wuxing did not show such a strong side again, which somewhat relieved the ministers.

It wasn't until the end of the court meeting that Zhu Changxun asked unintentionally:

"Elder Yan Ge has been reflecting at home for several months, what is the situation now?"

The courtiers below glanced at each other, and Yan Chenhao's protégé walked out and reported:

"Your Majesty, when the elder heard about the great victory in the mansion, he also praised His Majesty, and the minister heard that he often regretted what he did that day, saying that he was confused for a while, so he made such a rebellious act as confronting His Majesty."

Of course, this is nonsense, this protégé is also a clever one, if you don't say so, maybe this "introspection" will continue until the Year of the Monkey!

Sure enough, when Zhu Changxun heard this, his face showed a satisfied look.

"Since this is the case, let him ......" The emperor paused, he had the heart to remove Yan Chenhao directly, or give him an idle position, but Yan Chenhao was different from those six- and seven-grade petty officials who stood up before after all, if he acted like this, it would inevitably go wrong, so after thinking about it, he still said:

"Let him resume his position as the first assistant, and assist me!"

He sighed deliberately:

"Although he has made many mistakes in this matter, but after all, it is also for the sake of the imperial court, since he knows his mistakes, I will forgive him this time, and I think that after this matter, he will also make some changes."

The courtiers looked at each other, then bowed down in unison, and said:

"Your Majesty is wise!"

Listening to the sound of praise below, Zhu Changxun sat down on the dragon chair with satisfaction, and a smile appeared on his face.
