Chapter 36: The Dog Barks

Chongzhen slapped the table heavily and shouted in a low voice: "Huang Dao Zhou! Huang Dao Zhou! You are so nonsense and arguing, and you have lost the courtier's dignity towards the monarch's father, which is really hateful! You think that your reputation is very high, and I can't cure your crimes? Hmph, hum! Shao Zhengmao is also a literati, and he is a man of letters, and he is dangerous and dangerous in his heart, and he is firm in his deeds, and he argues with hypocrisy, remembers ugliness and knowledge, and obeys what is wrong, so he will inevitably be punished by Confucius, and there are many people like this today!"

"The minister is loyal and filial on weekdays, without any partiality, and is not a young and righteous person. "Huang Daozhou has no life and death, so he simply copes with it calmly.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about it, this Zodiac Zhou is a great Confucian who is personally entitled, and he really shouldn't be classified by himself as a character like Shaozhengmao. He felt embarrassed about the act of slapping himself, so although he was very angry in his heart, he showed unprecedented tolerance, he planned to drink Dao Zhou out of the court first, and then discuss him with a crime, demote him to a petty official thousands of miles away, and finally go to outer space to be a cowherd, and never let him return to the court.

He glared at Dao Zhou and shouted, "Zodiac Zhou go out!"

Huang Daozhou kowtowed, his legs were numb, he twisted with difficulty, and staggered out......

Chongzhen looked at his back, thinking that he couldn't get the understanding of a minister like him for all his hard work on state affairs, he couldn't help but sigh and said hatefully: "Huang Dao has learned all his life, and he has only learned one character!"

Huang Daozhou heard the emperor's reprimand, immediately turned around and knelt down again, he pressed his hands to the ground, his long white beard trembled in his chest, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, before he said sadly and desolately: "The emperor said that the minister only learned one character, and the minister is willing to analyze the words loyalty and the emperor today." If it is said that it is a fool to be independent and dare to speak out in front of the monarch's father, is it true that he is loyal to the face of the monarch's father? If there is no distinction between loyalty and righteousness, and there is confusion between evil and righteousness, how can we be clear in political affairs!"

"You don't care about the country's urgency, you don't think about the worries of your father, and you fight in vain to win the name of daring to admonish, what is it?" Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect that he would cause such a big trouble as soon as he pouted.

"Your Majesty's belief is only Yang Sichang! First increase the salary, and then increase the training salary, all of which are suggested by the heir Chang. Sichang didn't know how to organize the army and fight for the Dongyu, and only blindly sought peace in secret, and Wei attacked the displaced people who were lost, and the thieves Li Zicheng and Li Guo's uncle and nephew were just a pawn...... He recommended Chen Xinjia as his own soldier, but in fact, he continued to negotiate peace with the east. It seems that this calamity has brought disaster to the country and the people, and the person who has deceived the king, and His Majesty favors him, believes in it, and does not regard him as a minister; the minister has studied all his life, and has only learned to make a mistake and admonish him, and has not learned to meet the sycophants, and has deceived the king, and has been regarded by His Majesty as a minister...... "Huang Daozhou burst into tears and grabbed the ground with his head.

Chongzhen shouted violently: "Take it for me! It's so crazy, take it down and fight it hard!"

Seeing a few brocade-clothed wrewlers coming up, they dragged the white-haired Huang Daozhou up from the ground and pushed them out of the hall, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were silent.

Chongzhen patted the imperial case and roared: "Really fight! Really fight!"

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are all high-level talents who have no power to restrain the chicken, where have they ever seen a splashing and scolding fight, and they can't help but be shocked and trembling when the emperor and Huang Daozhou come and go, and even the people who have nothing to do with the Zodiac Zhou on weekdays are afraid that he will die under the court staff today, adding a touch of color to the court of the Chongzhen Dynasty.

Huang Daozhou was staggered and dragged out of the noon gate by the tall and majestic brocade wrestler, and then he was taken off the crown, stripped off the court clothes, and pushed to the ground like an eagle catching a chicken.

Thinking that it was not a pity that he died under the court staff, it was a pity that the national fortune of the Ming Dynasty was irretrievable, and his fledgling home would be over, he was heartbroken, struggled to raise his head, glanced at the noon gate, and had no strength to say anything else, just gasped and shouted twice: "God!

Seeing that Huang Daozhou was dragged out of the hall by the brocade warriors, the silent Wenban hurriedly walked out of a person, this person was about forty years old, medium stature, wearing a six-grade civil official's heron supplement uniform, he rushed to the front of the imperial case more than a foot away and knelt down, kowtowed to Chongzhen heavily, and said with a short breath: "The emperor's aunt reads the knowledge and ethics of the zodiac Zhou is admired by the sea, and today he dares to make a direct admonition in front of the emperor, purely out of loyalty and patriotism, forgive him!" If Huang Daozhou dies under the rod, it will be his name for daring to admonish, and the annals of history will also be tired of His Majesty's holy virtue!"

Chongzhen raised his eyelids, and recognized that he was the six-grade head of the household department, named Ye Tingxiu, and said in his heart, "When will it be your turn to be a little head of the household department?"

He said sharply without intimidation: "Huang Daozhou is arrogant and rude to his father, and it is not enough to kill him to cover his innocents, you dare to intercede for him, it must be one of his party!"

Ye Tingxiu kowtowed again, and said in a trembling voice: "The minister and the zodiac Zhou Su don't know each other!"

"Nonsense! If you dare to intercede for him, it must be a party, and you will fight it down!" Chongzhen sneered and waved his hand downward, as if there was an endless brocade wrestler, and stepped forward to set up Ye Tingxiu, the head of the household department.

There is no room for a little argument, Ye Tingxiu was taken by the brocade when he boarded, and dragged him out of the noon gate, Ye Tingxiu, as the head of several layers of the household department, naturally faced the Ming Dynasty's thousands of holes, and all kinds of collapse made him almost numb;

When the military attachés saw this, they were even more silent, preferring to be a turtle with a shrunken head, and where they were willing to speak for the civil officials who were not willing to speak for the teeth; the first assistant was at home to avoid trouble, and the six ministries did not dare to let go of one of them; seeing that there was no way, the civil officials invariably looked at Liu Zongzhou, the imperial historian of the left capital, who dared to speak outright.

Because he was in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Liu Zongzhou knew a lot about the Ming court's politics, and because he had only recently come to Beijing from his hometown of Shaoxing to resume his post, he had seen and heard more along the way, and saw that the places where he had passed were devastated, the people's minds were in turmoil, and the rebellion of the people in Shandong and Jiangbei was already like a prairie fire, which gave him a great shock, which made Liu Zongzhou, who was loyal to his duties, often feel in danger.

Now the civil and military officials are like a gourd with a sawed mouth, too scared to make a sound, he does not want to sit back and watch the Ming Dynasty is not guaranteed, and the other thinks that he is the imperial history of the left capital, and should not be silent, so he took the unique staggering steps of the elderly, staggered out of the class, knelt down and kowtowed.

However, before Liu Zongzhou, who was over seventy years old, could open his mouth to speak, the young emperor came to him and asked angrily, "Do you want to intercede for them?"
