    The most irritating thing is that Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was an emperor who hated officials. Not only did he stipulate that he should go to court every day, he also stipulated that all officials in Beijing, regardless of their official position, must attend the morning court.

    However, the Hall of Supreme Harmony is such a big place that it simply cannot accommodate everyone. Therefore, only officials of fourth grade or above can enter the hall. The others stand outside the hall. In other words, those low-ranking officials are actually accompanying people.  It doesn't matter if they come or not, but they are forced to come and join in the fun!

    This matter was miserable for both the emperor and the ministers, but since ancient times this has been one of the standards for wise kings and virtuous ministers. Therefore, although everyone felt uncomfortable, no emperor or minister dared to say that this was wrong. Therefore, in history  Many emperors really couldn't bear this hardship, but they couldn't change this life-threatening rule, so they started to act rogue!

    On weekdays, these emperors either pretended to be ill or simply acted like a fool and refused to participate in such boring and painful court meetings. However, the emperor could act rogue, but the ministers did not dare. Therefore, no matter whether the emperor came or not, the ministers had to  He came to court half-dead, but when he thought about how miserable he was going to court, the emperor was sleeping under the quilt. You can imagine the unbalanced feeling!

    Due to this extremely strong and unbalanced mentality, these ministers will never be merciful to an emperor who dares not to go to court. All kinds of memorials will come like a snowflake, and they will not give up until they drag the emperor into trouble.  But if they encounter an emperor who is not afraid of boiling water, they will have nothing to do.

    For example, the Wanli Emperor who has not been in court for more than thirty years!

    Today, the little emperor Zhu Youxiao unexpectedly proposed to postpone the morning court and exempt officials below the fourth rank from the court. Although most officials did not dare to agree with it verbally, they silently supported the little emperor in their hearts, hoping that he could  The evil old man Liu Yishen was defeated, and he lived a happy life with the little emperor from then on!

    Seeing that Liu Yishuo was looking for trouble again, Wang An felt a little eager to see how Zhu Youxiao would deal with him. On the contrary, Liu Yishuo stood up and accused the emperor of slacking off in government affairs. Suddenly, he felt inexplicably that he seemed to be reckless.  After he said those words, he actually didn't dare to look at Zhu Youxiao sitting on the dragon throne.

    Zhu Youxiao was wearing a plain-colored dragon robe today. He had a bright and handsome face. Coupled with days of hard exercise and herbal moisturizing, Zhu Youxiao looked like a whole person.  Such vigorous and heroic vigor!

    At this time, Zhu Youxiao glanced at Liu Yishen, then glanced at the ministers, smiled lightly and asked: "Is there any other minister who opposes this matter? Why don't you all stand up together, so that I can return the favor to you one by one?"  Go talk!"

    Zhu Youxiao's provocative words immediately aroused the anger of many officials. One of the most characteristic things in the Ming Dynasty was that ministers scolded the emperor when they had nothing to do. Anyway, no matter what the emperor did, he would scold him whether he was right or wrong.  , you will be scolded if you have too few sons, and you will be scolded if you sleep with that concubine too much.

    What¡¯s even more bizarre is that what these civil servants who scolded the emperor did not seek to correct the emperor¡¯s mistakes, but to do everything possible to make the emperor angry. The best thing was to make the emperor mad, then pull them out of the Meridian Gate, strip off their pants and beat them.  Ass, and then you can gain a reputation as a clear voice who dares to speak out!

    Therefore, seeing that the young emperor dared to challenge the civil servants in the court so carelessly, quite a few officials who planned to be the first to be beaten after the new emperor ascended the throne came forward. However, those who stood up were all insignificant little people, those with great power.  The big bosses in control, however, all remained silent, waiting to watch the excitement!

    Zhu Youxiao looked at the dozen or so officials standing behind Liu Yisui, and asked with some disinterest: "Are you the only ones?"

    When the civil and military officials in the court heard this, their jaws dropped to the ground. Since the death of the cruel fathers Taizu and Chengzu, no matter which emperor is sitting on the dragon throne, as long as a minister comes out to call for battle, they will all suffer.  He said, either he had no choice but to admit his mistake, or he was beaten with a stick in shame and anger, or at the worst, he just avoided it, out of sight and out of mind!

    Why does the little emperor still think that there are so few people coming out to cause trouble? It's not fun enough to see the meaning of such people coming out. This makes the ministers who are waiting to see what happens are even more confused. Even those who have already stood up.  The officials who came out also felt that something was wrong today and secretly regretted that they had been impulsive!

    The one who felt most unsure was Liu Yishen. After he was punished by the little emperor, he was very sulky at home for a few days, especially the little emperor's words: "The forest is big and there are many birds, crows and phoenixes."  When word spread that "we share the same nest", Liu Yishen was even a little shy to meet people!

    However, Liu Yishen is a banner of the Donglin Party in the court. Since Han Xu participated in the court attack case and the Hongwan case,?After his unclear attitude on the palace transfer case and being completely idle by the new emperor, the people of Donglin could not let Liu Yishuo follow him under any circumstances. Therefore, Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou repeatedly came to persuade Liu Yishen.  The donkey is now active again!

    Today, when Liu Yishen heard that Zhu Youxiao was going to postpone the morning court, he immediately felt keenly that this was a good opportunity. As long as he could refute the little emperor through this matter, then the previous things would be over, so Liu Yishen just  Can¡¯t wait to jump out and object!

    Now Liu Yishen saw the rather boring look of the young emperor, and naturally he felt uneasy, but Liu Yishen then thought about it: "This regulatory moment of the early dynasty has been passed down for thousands of years. Throughout the ages, no matter whether it is a wise emperor or a foolish emperor,  How can I change my mind if I want to? As long as I argue with reason, I will definitely change my mind, and then let¡¯s see who dares to laugh at me!¡±

    After making up his mind, Liu Yishen cheered up, bowed and saluted: "Long live Qi, although these are the only ministers in the court who dare to violate the wishes of long live, but as long as there are ministers in the court who dare to offend Yan Zhijian, that is  It¡¯s a blessing for the imperial court and a blessing for Your Majesty!¡±

    Liu Yishen's words were not unkind. He directly described himself as loyal ministers who dared to offend Yan Zhijian. The implication was that those ministers who did not stand up were treacherous ministers who wanted to be flattered. This made the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty  His face was all red. After all, in the Ming Dynasty, it was extremely shameful to fall in love with Yan Mei!

    But Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "What Mr. Liu said is wrong. Each civil and military officer in this dynasty has their own duties. Everyone has their own things to do. As long as they finish their errands well, they will be loyal ministers."  , do you have to oppose whatever I say to the ministers in order to be considered loyal ministers? In my opinion, those people who have no business and do no business are the most traitorous ministers. They waste people's money and money but do not serve the court.  , the common people do things, if such people stay in the court, they will only be a hindrance and act like scoundrels, I can't wait to execute them all!"

    At the end, Zhu Youxiao slapped the dragon case, stood up and said angrily: "Before I took the throne, I told the cabinet to make preparations for the start of the northern water conservancy project in winter. Now that I have been on the throne for ten days, the cabinet still can't come up with a specific plan.  May I ask where Fangge¡¯s old problem lies?¡±

    Fang Congzhe did not expect that Zhu Youxiao would suddenly target him with fire, but Fang Congzhe was already prepared for this and said directly: "Long live the Qizu, the cabinet is actively preparing for this matter, but the Ministry of Works cannot come up with a specific construction plan.  , it was also difficult to decide on the south-to-north grain transfer, so it was delayed!"

    Zhu Youxiao sneered and said: "I heard that the Ministry of Industry deliberately slowed down the work because it could not send officials to participate in the construction of the water conservancy project. A group of ministers and doctors drank tea and played chess every day, and drank flower wine and played with each other at night.  The adults at the Ministry of Industry are so cheerful!"

    Seeing Zhu Youxiao's anger, Wang Zuo, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, hurriedly left work and knelt on the ground, shouting: "Long live, the officials of the Ministry of Industry have been wronged! I and others have worked hard just to get the Beidi Water Conservancy Project started as soon as possible, but this project is huge.  , it is really difficult for all parties to coordinate the planning, and Banzai does not allow the Ministry of Industry to send personnel to participate, so the Ministry of Industry has no power to control it, and it is even more difficult for all parties to coordinate, so it is delayed, and Banzai please investigate clearly!"
