The news spread quickly. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince approved all the resignations submitted by the nobles. This news instantly shocked the court. This was the first time that Zhu Houzhao showed his toughness in front of his ministers. Like this

This approach caused an uproar among many ministers, including many civil servants, and some even began to worry.

Although everyone said before that His Highness the Crown Prince has the legacy of Taizong, they were just flattering and praising His Highness the Crown Prince's martial arts.

In fact, no official hopes that His Highness the Crown Prince really has the legacy of Taizong, or is really like Emperor Taizong. You must know that everyone’s favorite emperor is not Emperor Taizong. Although everyone is praising Emperor Taizong, they really think about it from the bottom of their hearts.

, not many people want to go back to the era of Emperor Taizong.

You must know that although the most ruthless killer in the Ming Dynasty was Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizong did not give in too much. The execution of the ten tribes was what Emperor Taizong did. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, the Jin Yiwei was very popular, and the Jin Yiwei commanded Ji Gang. That was really heavenly.

How many people did the Domestic Eagle Dog kill? Only civil servants would be stupid to want to go back to that era.

Now that His Highness the Crown Prince is so powerful, people suddenly have a bad feeling. Does His Highness the Crown Prince really want to be like Emperor Taizong or Emperor Taizu? How can we live in that life?

In the official circles of the Ming Dynasty, receiving and giving gifts has become a common practice. No one thinks there is any problem, and corruption is not a big problem. But if we really go back to that time, how would we live in those days? Many people even began to worry about this

The problem came, and the debate about the staff office in the court seemed to have been poured cold water on Dou Tou.

Cabinet duty room.

It has been a while since the news came here. The three cabinet academicians have not spoken for a long time. Even after decades of ups and downs in officialdom, the three of them are still a little confused about the situation in front of them. Although the three of them all came from the Chenghua period,

There was also Wang Zhi during the Chenghua period, but it was completely different from now. The emperor ended his life through the hands of eunuchs and the emperor himself was completely different.

Although it was not the emperor who died this time, it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the only son of the Ming Emperor and the sole successor of the Ming Dynasty. This was no different from the emperor himself.

"It seems that it is certain now!" Li Dongyang spoke at the side for a long time, his tone was very low, and he sighed softly and said: "Everyone has underestimated our Crown Prince, and the people behind Shouning Hou Zhang Heling are finally certain.

Yes, he is actually His Highness the Crown Prince."

In fact, speculation about this matter has not stopped in the past few years. The three people have long suspected the prince Zhu Houzhao, but they can't be sure.

Xie Qian glanced at Li Dongyang, sighed and said: "This is indeed the case. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince expanded the Black Dragon Army three years ago. Although we have not checked it, we have also made a rough calculation. It is absolutely not enough to rely on the silver allocated by the court.

, His Royal Highness has always been adding money to it, and His Royal Highness’s money should have come from Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning.”

"There is also Qi Zhai!" Liu Jian, the chief academician of the cabinet, also spoke at this time. He said with a stern face and a very serious voice: "The person behind Qi Zhai should also be His Royal Highness."

The three of them were silent again. After a while, Xie Qian slowly said: "Actually, we should have expected it a long time ago. His Royal Highness was probably very concerned about the government since the inspection of the Beijing camp that year. The Beijing camp was corrupt.

, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince rode on horseback and performed martial arts and then left in anger. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn’t say anything at that time, so we thought the matter was over.”

"Now it seems that not only has it not passed, but His Royal Highness has always wanted to revitalize Jingying. After enduring it for so many years, His Highness has finally taken action against Jingying."

"One more thing!" Li Dongyang said again: "His Royal Highness is probably doing this to suppress Shouning Hou!"

Although Li Dongyang did not go on, the other two people were not newbies in the officialdom, so they naturally knew what was hidden here. In the past few years, Shouning Hou Zhang Heling's strength has grown tremendously, and the nobles supported him. At the same time,

Many people on the civil servant side also fell in love with him. His Highness the Crown Prince probably couldn't stand it any longer. This time His Highness the Crown Prince stood up, and he must have had this in mind.

"What should we do?" After a while, Liu Jian, the chief academician of the cabinet, raised his head and looked at the two people, and then asked.

Zhu Youtang is not an emperor who likes to play with power, so for so many years, the cabinet has been very stable, and there has been no political struggle between the three of them. Unlike the Jiajing Dynasty, the cabinet was a battlefield, so the relationship between the three of them is very harmonious, no matter how big or small it is.

We can also discuss things and maintain a consistent attitude towards others.

After listening to Liu Jian's words, Xie Qian spoke first and said with a little hesitation: "Perhaps His Majesty will change his mind?"

After listening to Xie Qian's words, neither Liu Jian nor Li Dongyang spoke. They understood what Xie Qian meant, which was that His Majesty would withdraw his orders, so that they would not have to choose between the two. Although there would be a reputation for inaction, it would slightly damage their reputation.

, but it is also within the acceptable range, but both Li Dongyang and Liu Jian think it is unlikely.

Seeing the reactions of the two people, Xie Qian also smiled mockingly: "Maybe your Majesty is also waiting for us to express our stance!"

Three people were silent at the same time. In fact, the three of them were afraid of this. If His Majesty was also waiting for the three of them to express their stance, but the three of them had not done anything, what would His Majesty think? Would he feel that the three of them were not loyal enough? But this

It’s time to take a stand, so what will happen to the reputations of the three of you?

The so-called "dedicated to the kings of Yao and Shun" means that he is a virtuous minister. He has worked hard all his life, and he has the reputation of being a traitor. This is a bad thing!

No one spoke, and no one wanted to stand out, so the three of them fell into silence again.

Qianqing Palace.

After hearing He Neng's report, Zhu Youtang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "After all, I am still young and I can't hold my breath!" After thinking about it, Zhu Youtang continued: "But it's almost there. I'm afraid I can't wait.

I got what I wanted!" At this point, Zhu Youtang laughed at himself slightly. Although he knew there was little hope, he still had some expectations in his heart.

That's right, Zhu Youtang is looking forward to the reaction of the three cabinet bachelors. Even if they don't express their support clearly and just lay out the procedures for establishing the staff office, that's fine. But until now, there is still no response from the cabinet.

According to the news, it is obvious that the three of them are not ready to take a stand and want to drag it out. How could Zhu Youtang not be disappointed?

You must know that these three people were all promoted by himself, and he trusted them enough. At this moment, Zhu Youtang felt very complicated. He handed a memorial to He Neng. Zhu Youtang ordered: "Send it to the cabinet.
Chapter completed!
