I originally thought that I had bribed Ma Huanxi, the chief official of the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and it was a matter of course for him to supervise the country. Unexpectedly, Ma Huanxi turned out to be a paid person who did nothing. Although he was beaten to death with a cane, he did not have the cooperation of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
, it is difficult to make things happen naturally and seamlessly.
Seeing that the crown prince Zhu Ruoji was a little confused, Queen Shi said anxiously: "What are you doing standing still? Why don't you quickly summon Guan Shouzhen, Gu Yi, and Tang Zhen to enter the palace?"
Only then did Zhu Ruoji wake up from a dream, and hurriedly ordered people to summon three important ministers.
As soon as the three of them entered the main hall of Kunning Palace, they saw the body of Ma Huanxi, the Chief of Ceremonies. In order to keep it secret, the body was not sent out of the palace for burial.
The posture of punishment.
Seeing a generation of powerful officials end up like this, the three important ministers couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger! It seems that their future master is not easy to deal with, and he must be careful.
"I see you, the Queen, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
After bowing and saluting, Guan Shouzhen asked strangely: "Empress, why did Your Highness the Crown Prince kill the horse with his stick to please the eunuch? According to my opinion, this person seems to have a desire to seek refuge."
"Hmph, you still have the nerve to say that this slave actually opposed Gu Jianguo and said, 'This head can be cut off, but I will never dare to do this'. In this case, Gu will kill him." Zhu Ruoji was ruthless
He said. Normally, this prince always shows a generous and kind image, but recently, for some reason, he has become irritable and irritable. Perhaps he has been suppressed by his old father for too long, and his desire to stand up and become the master is too much.
Strong.
"The old minister was frightened. I didn't expect that eunuch was so ignorant of promotion." Guan Shouzhen's old face turned red. He originally thought that the horse eunuch had a reputation of being greedy for money. As soon as the money was given, he would be able to capture him. Unexpectedly, he still had some backbone. He would rather
Even though he was beaten to death, he refused to correct the edict.
He was afraid of giving the impression of incompetence to Queen Shi and the Crown Prince, so he said loudly: "Empress, Your Highness, the top priority is to let the Crown Prince supervise the country as soon as possible. Someone must be sent to control the Wai Shang Baosi, Shang Bao Supervisor, and the female official Shang immediately.
Si Bao, send someone to torture Si Bao, and you must get the jade seal."
"Well", Queen Shi glanced at her confidant eunuch Liu Rong, please take people to Shangbaosi to ask for the jade seal."
Zhu Ruoji was a little worried and looked at his confidant, General Yu Tai, "You will go with Eunuch Liu."
"Yes", the two of them accepted the order in unison.
When the palace people encountered soldiers, they couldn't explain why. Nayu Taiyuan was a bandit and had made many military exploits after returning to the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Ruoji was very pleased with his bravery and followed him around. This time he was ordered to lead three hundred East Palace guards to search for the jade seal. What he carried was
Like wolves and tigers, they quickly captured nearly 200 people from Wai Shang Baosi, Shang Baojian, and female officer Shang Baosi.
Mrs. Yu has fought in the war and is well versed in the principle of capturing the king first before catching the thief, so she ordered Cui Qi, the eunuch in charge of the fourth-rank Shangbao Supervisor, Li Yonghuai, the fifth-rank Shangbao Secretary, and Cai Wanqiu, the sixth-rank Shangbao Supervisor.
"Our family, following the Queen's order, asked for the royal treasure. Where is the seal?" Liu Rong shouted.
"Quickly tell me, where is the precious seal?" Yu Taiyi drew his sword and roared. The steel sword exuded silver light, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air. It was obviously a good knife that had killed countless people.
Cui Qi, Li Yonghuai, and Cai Wanqiu were so shocked that their faces turned pale, they were trembling and did not dare to say anything.
"Our dynasty's ancestral seal system requires that whenever a treasure seal is used, the Wai Shang Bao Si needs to request a decree, and then go to the female official Shang Bao Si to collect it. The use will be supervised by the Shang Bao Supervisor. When it is used up, it must be kept in a book and turned in. You can use it without purpose. Treasure, are you planning to rebel?" Suddenly a sharp voice came from a tall eunuch wearing a green robe with a white beard on his face and scolded him angrily.
"So brave!"
Mrs. Yu snorted coldly, "Who are you?"
"I am a treasure lord who ordered Zhou to assist the country."
"Haha, the fourth-rank Shang Baojian's palm seal, the fifth-rank Shang Bao Secretary, and the sixth-rank Shang Bao do not dare to speak, but you, a little seventh-rank Shang Bao Ling, are making noise here. Do you think you are mine? Is the knife bad?" Mrs. Yu sneered, with murderous intent in her eyes.
"As long as you are loyal and loyal, what does it matter whether you are a high official or a small official? Qin Hui, a high official, will be infamy for thousands of years; a high official, a small one, will be famous for a long time. Although a low official is dull, he would rather be a high-ranking official than Qin Hui." Zhou Fuguo was not afraid. See Yu Tai.
These words were powerful. They did not contain a single curse word, but they would face danger and did not dare to fight. The officials who had violated the integrity of their ministers scolded them all over. Cui Qi, the eunuch of Shang Baojian, Li Yonghuai, the minister of Shangbao, and Cai Wanqiu, the minister of Shangbao, heard this. They all turned red and lowered their heads in shame.
"Oh, are you really not afraid of death?" Mrs. Yu asked jokingly.
"A loyal minister is not afraid of death, but a loyal minister is not afraid of death."
"Okay, it's all done." Mrs. Yu snorted coldly, and gently twitched the hand holding the knife. Blood surged out, and she suddenly died. Strangely, the body did not fall.
"This general admires loyal ministers and righteous men the most in his life. Someone comes and drags this man down and buries him."
Mrs. Yu snorted coldly and asked Cui Qi, Li Yonghuai and Cai Wanqiu with a sinister smile: "What are your plans? Do you want to be a loyal minister? Or do you obediently hand over the seal treasure?"
The three of them were sweating profusely. Cui Qi and Li Yonghuai looked at Cai Wanqiu with their eyes. She was Si Bao, the female official who directly kept the jade seal.
"Cai Sibao, what are you thinking about?" Mrs. Yu stared at Cai Wanqiu and asked.
Being stared at by him, Cai Wanqiu felt her neck go cold, "I~I~I~" she actually started to tremble and stutter.
"It seems that you also want to be a loyal minister. I admire you, I admire you, there are so many heroes in our Ming Dynasty!" Mrs. Yu sneered, holding a steel knife in her hand, ready to chop.
Cai Wanqiu was so frightened that her face changed color, and she exclaimed: "Wait a minute, Xi Bao is in the secret room of Nei Shang Baosi."
"Hahaha!"
Mrs. Yu’s proud laughter echoed in the air.
??
"Thank you for your honor, the seal is here." Liu Rong and Mrs. Yu held the jade seal in their hands and presented it to Queen Shi and the Crown Prince.
"Okay! With this thing, the Gujian Kingdom will be justified." Zhu Ruoji laughed.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please use your seal." Guan Shouzhen presented the edict that he had already prepared. He was a Jinshi, and the edict was beautifully written. The main idea was that the emperor was seriously ill, and the Crown Prince was ordered to supervise the country, and ordered the chief scholar of the Jianji Palace to be the chief assistant.
Guan Shouzhen, the second assistant Sun Jinding, a bachelor of Jianji Palace, Su Guansheng, a bachelor of Jianji Palace, Zheng Feng, a bachelor of Wenhua Palace, Gu Yi, a bachelor of Wuying Palace, and Yu Chaoxiang, a bachelor of Dongge Palace, tutored and supervised the country. Among the seven cabinet ministers, except
Except for Chen Bangyan, the great scholar of Dongge University, who was the best friend of King Ji, the other six people all became assistant ministers.
Zhu Ruoji frowned and asked Guan Shouzhen: "Master Guan, is this really necessary?"
Some of the six assistant ministers were actually not satisfied with the crown prince. For example, Sun Jinding and Zheng Feng were both his teachers, but they were on both sides of the fence in the battle for the right to inherit the throne and refused to express their support clearly.
He, this made him unhappy, and did not want to give these two people the title of assistant ministers.
"Your Highness, only in this way can we ensure the stability of the situation and the smooth supervision of the country," Guan Shouzhen said urgently.
"Your Highness, please take care of the overall situation and take charge of the world," Gu Yi and Tang Zhen also advised.
"Okay, I'll follow it, sir." Zhu Ruoji sighed and stamped the imperial seal on the edict with his own hands.
