What Zhang Yong did was indeed unreasonable, but it is understandable.
He is a tall, powerful man with superb martial arts skills. He can be said to be a fighter among eunuchs, but he inexplicably got the position of the Master of Ceremonies. Obviously, the job of using brains is not in line with his profession. In order to help Qin Kan, in order to invite Zhu Houzhao in front of Huan sells well, but it is not easy to get things to this point.
Twenty-four imperial censors were imprisoned in one breath. Only a rough man like Zhang Yong could do such a big deal. As for Dai Yi, who personally ordered the arrest, it was a typical case of the sky falling and letting people be arrested. The tall guy who carries it is not responsible for killing or burying him.
According to the general rules of court disputes, it is usually the imperial censor who takes the lead and intervenes in a seemingly inconspicuous matter. After some careful people work on it, incite it, and dig deeper, the small matter gradually turns into a big event. The major cases that shocked the world during the Hongwu period all started from small things. Taizu was determined to make things bigger. Naturally, the ministers below did not dare to say no. Anyway, he was the emperor during that period. The most comfortable thing is that not only did the owner of the Ming Dynasty's Jiangshan Sheji have the surname Zhu, but the right to use it was also named Zhu. You are the emperor and you are the biggest, you can play whatever you want. Zhu Yuanzhang played for nearly thirty years and almost ruined the country he just conquered ¡
Today, Zhang Yong issued an order and found a bad excuse for "slandering the emperor". Twenty-four officials were inexplicably taken to the imperial prison. Their grief and anger index directly matched that of Marshal Yue Feiyue in the Fengbo Pavilion. Without dozens of speaking officials, how can this drama continue to be performed today?
When Zhu Houzhao thought of this, he couldn't help laughing again, feeling very happy in his heart.
"Good! Zhang Yong, you did a good job!" Zhu Houzhao was full of praise, his outlook was seriously wrong, he squinted his eyes and put on a very green and sinister look and sneered: "Don't those guys just rely on the strength of their numbers? I will give you half of it to see how you sing this play. Zhang Yong, you are determined. It doesn¡¯t matter whether this matter is successful or not. I will remember you as a favor for Qin Kan."
Zhang Yong was overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty does not blame the old slave. This is already a great blessing for the old slave. I would never dare to accept it as a favor"
His joy was not fake. Not only could he win favor in front of Zhu Houzhao, but he could also receive half of the shipping dividends behind his back. The only price he paid was to offend some civil servants. This deal was worth it.
"Okay, just remember it if I ask you to. I will tell Qin Kan later that no good deeds can be done in vain. He must remember your good deeds, right?" Zhu Houzhao touched his chin, thought for a while, and then said: "You guys I already have the heart to help him, so I have to do something"
After thinking for a while, Zhu Houzhao found that there was really nothing he could do to help Qin Kan. Everyone was quarreling in the golden palace. As an emperor, even if he wanted to deflect, he couldn't do it too obviously. Besides, the current situation is that the king is weak and the ministers are strong. He If you want to go astray, the ministers have to buy it, right?
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Houzhao sighed: "I probably can only continue to pretend to be sick at the critical moment of Qin Kan"
¡°Then Zhu Houzhao tilted his head skillfully, rolled his eyes, made his hands like chicken claws, and began to twitch all over
After convulsing for a while, he felt quite into the drama. Zhu Houzhao returned to normal and asked Zhang Yong: "What do you think?"
Zhang Yong hesitated for a moment and then gave some advice that was unwelcome to his ears: "a little foam came out of the corner of his mouth."
"My emperor, my emperor is in high spirits he is in high spirits!"
At a quarter of the Yin hour, the bells of the Bell and Drum Tower rang.
The civil and military officials waiting outside Chengtian Gate were shocked, and they lined up quietly, waiting for the palace gate to open.
Cao Yuan stood in the courtroom and looked back frequently, but his heart became increasingly heavy.
Today¡¯s momentum is not quite right. There are more than twenty public officials missing for no reason. Most of them should be the main force participating in the impeachment of Qin Kan in the Golden Palace today. Why did they drop the chain at the critical moment?
It¡¯s weird
Walking with heavy steps, Cao Yuan looked around as he walked, and inadvertently noticed that Qin Kan, who was standing in front of him in the honor class, suddenly turned back. Their eyes met, and Qin Kan suddenly grinned at him. Cao Yuan's heart skipped a beat. A layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead for no reason, and his face became increasingly ugly.
The first court meeting in the fourth year of Zhengde was naturally different from the usual court meetings. Hundreds of officials entered the Fengtian Hall. Not long after, tigers and leopards roared and elephants roared outside the hall. Two rows of Han generals led the way, followed by countless eunuchs and young men. The eunuchs followed closely, holding various ceremonial utensils such as a scepter, a gourd, and an incense burner in their hands. Then came the emperor's golden chariot, which was carried on the shoulders by eighty-one burly guards and walked slowly, each line After three steps and one pause, the whip in front will be blown three times, and then continue to move forward for three steps. The sound is majestic, majestic and solemn. The sound of the whip is full of the supreme emperor's atmosphere.
wearZhu Houzhao, who was wearing a golden dragon robe and a golden winged dragon crown, got off the imperial chariot expressionlessly and walked into the palace. All the ministers knelt down and saluted. The mountain shouted long live. Amidst the thundering sound, Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon chair. This is how the first court meeting in the fourth year of Zhengde began.
According to the rules of the great dynasty, Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, was the first to go out of the class, read out a memorial to heaven and earth, and promised to God on behalf of the emperor that he would work diligently, abstain from extravagance, respect his post and love his career, and try to cause as little trouble to the ministers as possible this year. Hearing such nonsense, Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes. Obviously these promises were not authorized by the emperor himself, and Zhu Houzhao did not intend to implement them.
After reciting a long and drowsy article for two minutes, Zhang Sheng finally finished his work and returned to the courtroom with unfinished thoughts. The ministers cheered up and expressed their kindness.
University scholar Yang Tinghe then stood up. Yang Tinghe was relatively pragmatic and did not talk nonsense. He opened his mouth to talk about state affairs. He talked about some of the state affairs that were backlogged by the cabinet at the end of last year one by one. What should be allocated money, what should be discussed by the court, and what should be relieved. Yes, his words were precise and precise. There was basically no objection from the ministers below. Zhu Houzhao also nodded frequently as if to respond to the situation.
After the important state affairs were reported, the huge golden palace suddenly became quiet, and an inexplicable gloomy atmosphere arose spontaneously. All the peaceful atmosphere in the palace seemed to be taken away in an instant, and even the air condensed.
Including Zhu Houzhao, everyone's nerves are highly tense. Everyone knows that the next step is the highlight. Now they are only waiting for one person to stand up and be the vanguard.
It was silent, and the drop of a needle could be heard. Everyone's self-cultivation suddenly became more advanced. They knew clearly what would happen next, but no one spoke first.
An hour after the incense stick passed, there was still an eerie silence in the hall. Everyone was as silent as the eight hundred Arhats under the Buddha's seat, standing as still as pine trees.
I don't know how long it took, but Zhu Houzhao became impatient. What he couldn't stand the most was the hypocrisy of civil servants, so he sat on the dragon chair and stretched himself rudely, giving a long blow and even dragging his waist. Wei Yin yawned, rubbed his groggy eyes and said, "Since everyone has nothing to say, let's retreat"
Before he finished speaking, a figure quickly ran out of the courtroom and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment has reported something to Feng Yuan, who has something to report"
boom!
Before Feng Yuan finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao suddenly slapped the armrest of the dragon chair hard, then stood up and said loudly as if he was suddenly awakened: "By the way! I suddenly remembered something and wanted to let everyone know. Next month I plan to conquer Mobei in person!"
"Huh?" The whole palace was dumbfounded. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
