Liu Jin wants to attack Chinese officials in the court. .

The civil servants in the court were all rebellious, and some people repeatedly impeached Liu Jin. Previously, Han Wen and Xu Jin were very powerful in the ministry. They both made Liu Jin feel embarrassed and almost capsized. This time, there were civil servants with unknown origins reported, and Xie Qian took the lead in impeachment in the court discussion. Zhu Houzhao's last words made Liu Jin sweat. After a roundabout way, Liu Jin almost lost his skin even if he was not dead.

"Whoever is against our family must take it out. Even if it can't be found, the people in the court must be afraid of our family, so that they dare not speak out again."

Liu Jin made up his mind to follow Zhang Wenmian's advice and instigated the emperor to make things difficult for the court officials, so that he could not get up in front of the Meridian Gate to find out who was the culprit behind the planning to impeach him.

On the morning of April 18, Zhu Houzhao stayed in the leopard room and did not return to the palace. Liu Jin felt that he had found a good opportunity. While he was going to ask for government affairs, he whispered: "Your Majesty, sages and kings from ancient times have heard of the court's verdicts at the Wumen Gate. Should Your Majesty also follow the rules?"

Zhu Houzhao frowned: "Isn't there a autumn decision every autumn?"

Liu Jin smiled and said, "Every autumn, it is just a decree to be executed. In addition to these traitors and evil people, there are still many prison matters, and Your Majesty should also ask about it."

It was because of his understanding of Zhu Houzhao that Liu Jin came up with such an idea. The real purpose was to make Zhu Houzhao impatient. Sure enough, Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes and waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, look back and find some time. I will listen to it once at the Meridian Gate. It's really a joke. If you have nothing to do, you will go back to the palace first. You don't need to serve here."

Liu Jin received the oral decree of Zhu Houzhao and was eager to leave early. He rushed back to the palace immediately. As soon as he entered the gate of the Silijian, he immediately turned against him and jumped over Hanyuan. He asked a group of eunuchs with their pen to draft the imperial decree to summon the ministers at the Meridian Gate.

Dai Yi had no idea what happened and asked, "Eunuch Liu, is this really from His Majesty's order?"

At this time, except for occasionally appearing at court meetings, Zhu Houzhao usually finds it difficult for eunuchs in the palace to see Zhu Houzhao, not to mention court officials. This is another important reason why eunuchs are hostile to Liu Jin.

Liu Jin asked coldly: "Eunuch Dai, do you suspect that our family forged the sages?"

Dai Yi was so scared that he trembled and said respectfully: "I dare not, please don't dare, Eunuch Liu please."

Liu Jin didn't say much nonsense. In fact, he had already prepared the edict. When he came to the Sili Supervisory Bureau, he just said hello. Soon he sent more than 30 eunuchs to various parts of the capital and summoned all the civil servants in Beijing to the Meridian Gate in Jinshui Henan to discuss matters.

This fashion is at the beginning of Si lunar month. According to the Ming Dynasty, Wu lunar month usually takes place. The court meeting will begin only when it is near Wu. The ministers were not sure outside the palace and suddenly received news that they were entering the palace to meet the saint immediately, not in Fengtian Hall, but in front of the Wu Gate, and they all didn't know what happened.

Xie Qian was resting on the same day and did not go to Wenyuan Pavilion to serve on duty. As the chief minister of his cabinet, the eunuch Dai Yi, the chief eunuch of the Silijian.

Xie Qian was surprised to see Dai Yi.

With Dai Yi's identity, unless there is any major event in the palace, there is no need to do such trivial things about passing messages.

Xie Qian felt something was strange, so he stepped forward and grabbed Dai Yi's shoulder and asked, "Eunuch Dai, what important matter should you announce?"

Dai Yi's words flashed: "Gei Xie is so worried. Your Majesty may just be summoned normally."

Xie Qian's face was gloomy: "If there was no major incident, how could Your Majesty summon the ministers in front of the Meridian Gate? Today is not the day of the autumn decision... Could anyone fake the imperial edict?"

Dai Yi was shocked: "Don't think too much about it. If you say this, you will lose your head... The crime has been passed on. If you really don't want to go, you may be sick. Your Majesty also knows that you are not in good health. Maybe you are sick?"

There was a hint in his words, and Dai Yi had already clearly reminded Xie Qian that this summoning was not that simple. Xie Qian was extremely smart. After pondering for a moment, he knew that the matter had little to do with Zhu Houzhao. He guessed that this matter might have been planned by Liu Jin, and the purpose was to retaliate against the impeachment two days ago.

Xie Qian said: "Thank you, Eunuch Dai, for reminding me that I have indeed been infected with cold in the past two days. In addition, I am old and weak, so I can't afford this disease. Today I will be reluctant to leave to welcome the angels, so I will continue to recuperate."

After saying that, Xie Qian sent Dai Yi out of the hospital, but then he was really closed and said he couldn't leave.

...

...

Xie Qian received a reminder from Dai Yi that he did not enter the palace under the order, but other ministers were ignorant. Even though they realized that things were illogical, they still followed the imperial orders issued in the palace and came to the front of the Meridian Gate together.

With the arrival of officials scattered, these officials were initially relaxed, and they were afraid that they would be treated specially in everything. Now, they know that the ministers are coming together and they have some confidence in their hearts.

A group of people passed Chengtian Gate, Duan Gate, and came to the Meridian Gate.

This is the only way to go from the Daming Gate to the three halls of the Forbidden City. The ministers walked on this road for many times. A few people were unaware of it. They talked and laughed after arriving, while more people were worried because they realized that this matter might be related to Liu Jin's revenge.

At the third hour of Si, Liu Jin came from Baoning Gate and Youshun Gate and appeared in front of the Wu Gate. The ministers did not speak. They represented Liu Yu, Minister of Personnel and Jiao Fang, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, and asked Liu Jin what had happened.

At this time, Liu Jin looked solemn and imposing. He walked to the Meridian Gate with an edict in his hand and raised the imperial edict. Even if the ministers had any objections to Liu Jin, they could only arrange sixteen rows in front of the Meridian Gate according to their own grades, and knelt down to listen to the imperial edict.

The number of ministers attended was about 300. Except for the chief minister of the cabinet, Xie Qian, almost all Chinese ministers from the court arrived.

Liu Jin was not in a hurry to announce the imperial edict, and stood there with the imperial edict in his hand, like a statue.

The ministers waited for a while, raised their heads and saw that Liu Jin was still standing there. At this time, these civil officials were a little tired of it. In their opinion, they could meet the emperor without kneeling, but now they were actually kneeling down to a eunuch, which was a great insult.

The old ministers in front immediately wanted to stand up. Seeing this, Liu Jin suddenly shouted in a high voice: "Who allows you to stand up?"

Several old ministers looked at each other, among which Xiong Xiu, the Minister of War, was the most annoyed. He was already very depressed by Ma Wensheng's previous dispatch of him as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. He thought that he was already sixty years old, as the saying goes, "Life is seventy years old." He should stay in the capital forever at this age.

Xiong Xiu has been making excuses for the past six months and remains in the position of Minister of War, and refuses to move. Now a eunuch actually shows off his power in front of him, the elder of the three dynasties, and suddenly burst out.

Xiong Xiu straightened up and shouted loudly: "I knelt on the heaven and earth, kneeled down on the king and the relatives, and never knelt on the eunuchs."

With one sentence, Liu Jin was angry and shouted loudly: "Xiong Ruming, you are a traitor. Our family will come to pass the imperial edict today. This is Your Majesty's envoy. If you are disrespectful to Your Majesty, you will be disrespectful to Your Majesty... People will blame you for your majesty!"

The ministers present did not expect that Liu Jin would dare to be the minister of the Ministry of War in public, and Liu Jin was not qualified to issue this order at all, but he had a solution and prepared manpower.

As Liu Jin ordered his orders to leave, ten Jinyiwei in black rushed out from Que Zuomen and Que Youmen. Everyone then remembered that Liu Jin had now obtained the power of supervising officials by relying on his own factory. Liu Jin really wanted to perform a court stick. It seemed reasonable in terms of etiquette, but the premise was that he had to obtain the emperor's approval.

Liu Jin seemed to have no intention of asking Zhu Houzhao for advice, and directly asked to scepter Xiong Xiu. Although the ministers present felt that it was inconsistent, no one was willing to stand up and speak for Xiong Xiu because they were afraid of Liu Jin's power.

Of course, it is also possible that Xiong Xiu is unpopular in his daily work and forgets his righteousness when he sees profit. When he repeatedly impeached Ma Wensheng, many people felt that this person could not be close to him.

The Jinyiwei rushed forward and captured Xiong Xiu.

Xiong Xiu cursed, but the man was dragged to a bench on the side of the Meridian Gate. Xiong Xiu was then stripped away by someone. This is also the rule of the Ming Dynasty's stick. Every stroke must be hit on the flesh and cannot be replaced by clothes.

"beat!"

Liu Jin was angry, not caring about who was in front of him. At this moment, he was like a mad dog, biting whoever he saw. Since Xiong Xiu rushed up, he would spread his fangs.

Poor Xiong Xiu was old and weak, and he actually encountered a court stick when he was old. When the Jinyiwei hit Xiong Xiu's back hips with one stick, every harsh shout made the ministers present frightened.

Because Liu Jin didn't say how many times he hit, the Jinyiwei didn't dare to be negligent. He tried every time and tried hard. After hitting him for more than ten times, he was already in a state of disgrace.

Xiong Xiu fainted from pain. Several Jinyiwei stopped and one of them came forward to ask for instructions: "Dad father-in-law, should you continue?"

When Liu Jin saw Xiong Xiu fainted, he walked over and spat on Xiong Xiu's back and said disdainfully: "If there is still someone who doesn't know the truth, this will happen... He said, who dares to disrespect our family?"

None of the ministers present dared to say anything. It was not that they were afraid of Liu Jin. Many people were indignant and wanted to stand up and scold him. However, after seeing Liu Jin's cruelty and experiencing the consequences of being the first to stand up, these people did not want to come out to block the gun, but waited for others to speak and follow the crowd.

It was precisely with this mentality that the audience was silent and all the ministers knelt in place and remained motionless.

At this time, many people were thinking: "Your Majesty will come out soon. If you don't have the same knowledge as a eunuch Liu Jin, when your Majesty sees Mr. Xiong's miserable situation, you will naturally punish Liu Jin."
