The emperor of Fengtian Chengyun was ordered to say: The Crown Prince Zhu Jianshen was talented and intelligent, and was learned from the words and deeds of the sages of Confucius and Mencius. He was often moved by the order of the ethics and laws. In order to follow the ethics and laws, I deposed the Crown Prince Zhu Jianshen as the crown prince and demoted him to King Yi. How could I be the emperor!"

The eunuch in charge of the seal, Xing'an, read the imperial edict in a sharp voice, and directly confused the civil and military officials who attended court inside and outside Fengtian Hall.

Although everyone was mentally prepared to depose the prince early, no one expected that it would come so suddenly. The emperor did not wait for the court to discuss the matter at all, and took the initiative to read the imperial edict.

Now even if someone wants to uphold etiquette and law to oppose it, he doesn't know how to get in for a while.

However, it was more than that shocking all civil and military officials. After Xing'an finished reading the edict of the deposed crown prince, the eunuch next to him immediately submitted another imperial edict. He slowly rolled it open and cleared his throat and continued to recite.

"The emperor followed the heavens and inherited the power of the emperor, and said: In the past, the emperor has always ruled the world, and respected the heavens and the law ancestors as their primary duty. The law ancestors of the heavens are really soft and far, and they can rest and recuperate the people. The benefit of the world is profitable, and the heart of the world is to protect the country in danger, and the rule is not in chaos. They work hard day and night, and stay awake and do not have time to sleep. They are a long-standing national strategy, so that they can be close to them."

"I have been ascended to the throne for four years by the emperor's will. I have important military and national affairs, and I have great administration. I have not been tired and diligent, so I dare not relax myself. The foundation of the clan society is in the throne, and God blesses the people to be the king. My father has a son who passed down the world. Now the eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Jianji is handsome and knowledgeable, and Ying has talent. He has the family of the country and the family of the country. The ancestor of the emperor should return to the holy son."

"Therefore, I am the crown prince, and I am the chief throne of the Eastern Palace. I respect the heavens and be cautious and pacify the army and supervise the country. Qin Zai, May 15, 2018, Jingtai."

That’s right, the second imperial edict read by Xing'an was the edict to make the eldest son of the emperor Zhu Jianji the crown prince!

If the civil and military officials had not yet reacted at the beginning, when the imperial edict of the crown prince was read out, they finally came back from their shock, and the audience was in an uproar for a moment.

"Since ancient times, all the abolition and establishment of the Eastern Palace have been solemn and solemn. How could we play like this?"

"The crown prince is only seven years old now. How can he understand Xu Zailun's voluntary abdication?"

"The prince has no fault, please think twice!"

"If you are not in line with etiquette, please take your majesty back and get your life back!"

The group of censors standing outside the hall was first in anger. They were ready to oppose Yi Chu with righteous words at the dynasty meeting. Now they could not accept the emperor's hasty Yi Chu no matter what.

Some more excited young officials even rushed into the hall to speak out for justice. However, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu might have expected such a scene to happen. The Jinyi Captain and the Han generals who were waiting by the side soon surrounded him and connected him into a row to prevent the officials from making extreme actions.

At this time, Zhu Qiyu no longer had the fear and weakness of the first time he succeeded to the throne, facing the opposition of all the officials in the court. He looked at everything outside the hall with an extremely cold look. Yi Chu's affairs could not be appeased or retreated at all, otherwise he would be approached step by step by step by step by step by step by step, resulting in no retreat.

In addition, Zhu Jianji, the eldest son of the first lunar month, was infected with wind and cold. After several months of investigation, he could not find any substantial evidence except for someone who was suspected. This made Zhu Qiyu feel a little scared and made him feel as firm as iron.

After waiting for the Jinyiwei to temporarily suppress the hustle and bustle, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu then set his sights on Chen Xun, the chief minister of the cabinet in the front row.

As the saying goes, "raising troops for a thousand days is used for a while." Zhu Qiyu promoted Chen Xun, who had weak qualifications and prestige, to step by step, through the addition of the Young Guardian and the Prince's Prince's Prince, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the Grand Secretary of the Huagai Palace, etc. to a position that surpassed Yu Qian's position as a minister.

Three years of preparation is waiting for Yi Chu today. It is time for these close confidants to take their role.

Sure enough, after seeing the emperor's gesture, Chen Xun took a deep breath, and with the possibility of being criticized in the future, he stood up and said, "The Gu Yun country has a eldest king, and the country's blessing, the crown prince should be like this."

"The eldest son of the emperor, Zhu Jianshen, is in charge of the Eastern Palace, and everyone is looking forward to it. I congratulate Your Majesty!"

What everyone wants to return?

Hear Chen

When Xun said this, most of the civil servants inside and outside the Fengtian Hall were shocked. How shameless it was to speak the four words "outstanding" with everyone's mouth.

Before the Qingliu people present could refute, the prince Taibao and the Minister of Personnel He Wenyuan took the initiative to stand up and expressed his opinion: "God blesses the kings of the people, and they are truly at peace with the world; the father has a son who has passed down from all over the world, and Sban has been for ten thousand years."

"The tradition of father and son is the unchanging tradition of etiquette and law for generations. I congratulate Your Majesty!"

Compared to Chen Xun, who was originally the title of Chief Cabinet, only lacked qualifications and prestige. He Wenyuan was a pure marginal official. In the sixth year of Zhengtong, he offended Xu Qi and officials due to the Luchuan Battle. He retired and stayed at home for a long time.

Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu gave him the opportunity to recover, and he was unparalleled in the holy family. This kind of grace destined He Wenyuan to be a hardcore in the imperial party. No matter what the mainstream opinions of the Chinese civil servant group in the court, he would definitely stand on the emperor's side to agree to Yi Chu.

In addition to Chen Xun and He Wenyuan, two important officials, came out, and soon the cabinet ministers Wang Yining, Minister of War Yiming, Minister of War Wang Wen, Minister of the Ministry of Works Jiang Yuan, etc., all stood up and expressed their support for Yi Chu clearly.

In an instant, the ministers inside and outside Fengtian Hall looked very different on their faces, especially those young rumors, whose shocked pupils were filled with incredible ideas, as if they could not believe their eyes.

The mainstream voice of the imperial officials has always been, hasn’t it been the case that holds high the banner of rituals and laws against Yi Chu?

Why did the important officials in the court rebelled one after another and chose to support the emperor and deposed the crown prince without any fault? Where did the words and deeds of the saints they read, and where did the court behave? Is it true that all the important officials in the court "hypocrites"?

The changes in the court at this time gave many young officials a vivid lesson. This is the bottomless essence of officialdom!

The censors and clear-headed people held the last glimmer of hope and focused on Wang Zhi, the Minister of Personnel, and Hu Yi, the Minister of Personnel. They were the main officials who were the first and second most civil officials.

As long as these two people stand up and lead the opposition, the civil servant group can still unite and force the emperor to make concessions!

"Otatsukazu, as the official of the Ministry of Personnel and the leader of all officials, shouldn't he stand up and make trouble?"

"I'll ask Otsukazu to come out and correct the king!"

"The Dazong Bo is a veteran of the Six Dynasties. His prestige in the court is beyond his authority, so he should speak up for justice."

"The Ministry of Rites is in charge of the law and orders of the clan, and should advise Your Majesty to be right and wrong in human relations!"

At this moment, the censors and clear streamers of the Ming Dynasty finally showed their side of not fearing power, even if the other party was the supreme emperor.

The censors may have many shortcomings, which may be the same as "professional trolls" for many people. But it is undeniable that only with such a group of straightforward and even somewhat "naive" people can the entire court or country have the opportunity to correct mistakes.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, when the censor Qingliu was interrupted by the "big ritual discussion" and became a verbal quarrel among the party disputes in the court, the entire dynasty inevitably went downhill.

However, in the face of the indignation and protest of the civil servant Qingliu, the Minister of Personnel, Wang Zhi, and the Minister of Rites, Hu Yi, who were standing in the head, were as if they had not heard it, as if they were standing still in a quiet sculpture.

The emperor issued two imperial edicts in a row, and with the fact that many ministers of the cabinet made a list, he had already expressed his determination to win. Wang Zhi was originally a weak person, and at most he was to follow the trend and would never do anything against the current.

As for Hu Yi's ability to become a veteran of the Six Dynasties, he is still firmly at the forefront of civil servants, which shows many problems in itself. He has long been accustomed to protecting himself.

Many of the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty were able to "resent the civil and the military fight to the death", but they did not include them.

Looking at the scene of support or silence in the hall, Zhu Qiyu showed a long-lost smile on her face. After three years, she reversed her lack of foundation in the court and finally tasted the power that was exclusive to the emperor.

No one dares to refuse to obey if he commands the world!

No one objected to the important officials in the court?

This strange scene has completely broken through the understanding of middle and lower-level officials. It turns out that the clamoring etiquette and law are like the ones in the face of power.

This is vulnerable!

Just when everyone thought that Yi Chu was settled, Yang Ji, a Jinshi of the Ministry of War who was standing outside the hall, suddenly shouted: "The Grand Sima, Yi Chu's sayings are to cater to the best intentions."

"Do you have become a flatterer of the country?"

Yang Ji looked at Yu Qian's back with a grief and anger. When Yi Chu's rumors spread, he wrote a letter to Yu Qian, the Minister of War, hoping that the other party would oppose it from the perspective of family, country, world and etiquette, law and Taoism.

As a result, the letter was like a stone sinking into the sea, and I didn't wait for Yu Qian's response for a long time.

Now the emperor Yi Chu challenges etiquette and law, but no one in the court dares to stand up and oppose it. Yu Qian's selfless character was once the "white moonlight" of Yang Ji in the officialdom. He vowed to become such a national sage, so he applied to the Ministry of War to become a Jinshi in the Ministry of War after the imperial examination.

But Yu Qian's silence made Yang Ji's ideals and goals disappear. It turned out that in the face of power and wealth, Yu Qian was no different from ordinary people!

Hearing the grief and anger cry of this life, Shen Yichen turned around and looked at the strange face outside the hall, and the other party was already in tears at this time.

To be honest, Shen Yichen can understand the mood of this young official very much. In a sense, Yu Qian is also a ray of light on his life path. Shen Yichen can be smooth, compromise, and degenerate himself, but he never wants to see Yu Qian give up the justice in his heart, even if the interests are not consistent with Shen Yichen's goals in many cases.

No one wants to be Yu Qian himself, but everyone hopes that there is such a Yu Qian who is willing to betray him!

If Yu Qian changes, it means that the ideals and justice in his heart collapse, and it is not surprising that such a collapse and painful expression occurs.

"What should you blame for being roaring in the court!"

Faced with Yang Ji's cry, Du Yu's envoy Wang Wen immediately stood up and scolded him. As the boss of the supervision department, he had the authority to control the court discipline. In addition, Yi Chu has settled, and it is impossible for any powerful opposition forces to appear again. Of course, he has to add icing on the cake to show it in front of the emperor.

"No sin!"

Almost as Wang Wen finished speaking, a loud and loud voice came out from the front row of civil servants. The person who said this was Yu Qian!

Seeing this scene, all the civil and military officials in the court focused their attention on Yu Qian. Compared to the surprise of others, Chen Yichen was more of an indescribable complex emotion.

He didn't want to stand up in such a foregone conclusion, and Yu Qian still stood up and adhered to his own principles. But for some reason, Chen Yichen silently expected that Yu Qian would not choose to protect himself.

After all, there are too many exquisite and self-interested people among the civil and military officials in the court, and there is only one who is upright and upright!

"Your Majesty, a man cannot stand without faith, a career cannot prosper without faith, and a country cannot decline without faith."

"As early as the beginning of His Majesty's ascension, he had already made an oath with the Empress Dowager and all officials, and made the eldest son of the Supreme Emperor Zhu Jianshen the crown prince, and was passed down to him a hundred years later. Now that the crown prince is deposed, has His Majesty forgotten his oath?"

As soon as Yu Qian said this, it was like dropping a bombshell in Fengtian Palace. You should know that he was the first hero who supported Emperor Jingtai. In theory, both parties belong to the same interest group.

In addition, the Supreme Emperor is now Bintian, and there is no possibility of the future imperial system transfer. Yu Qian reiterated the oath made by the emperor back then. This is simply to bring up any pot without opening any pot.

When he opposed Yi Chu's words, Yu Qian had already offended the emperor. When he never expected it, he had no intention of stopping and continued to say righteously: "All the ministers of the cabinet in the court were afraid of profit and no one dared to disagree. On the contrary, those who had guessed the superior will have promoted their positions at the moment."

"So there was a strange scene where all the dynasties were Taibao, a book of two ministers. If such a trend continues to prevail, would it be a blessing for the country and the world?"

At this time, Yu Qian finally expressed his thoughts. In fact, compared to Yi Chu, he cared more about the flattery style in the court that tried his best to please the superiors.

In recent years, in order to compete for the right to speak in the court, Emperor Jingtai Zhu Qiyu had been promoted to those who agreed to Yi Chu to stand on his side. You should know that during the orthodox dynasty of Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, the titles of the Three Young Masters, the Three Owners, the Three Divisions and other titles were extremely precious.

The chief minister of the cabinet can only be ranked second, and there is no way to become the first rank of official positions by replacing the title.

As a result, Zhu Qiyu gave the first-rank additional title in three years and distributed it as if he didn't have any money. Now, the minister of the cabinet department has no title of San Ju, and the title of San Gu is so embarrassed to go out to say hello.

If the number of titles is rampant and is within the acceptable range, then the excessive issuance of official positions has substantially affected the operation of the court center, dragging each other down, resulting in inefficiency in administrative efficiency.

Yu Qian knew that his silence on Yi Chu's affairs had led to his disinterest and morality with the emperor, but if he changed it or continued to ignore it, Yu Qian would not be unparalleled in the country.

To this day, he finally revealed the chaos caused by the emperor's Yi Chu, even if he lost his official position and asked for punishment. As an official, he had to have the awareness of serving the country and the people, and as a literati, he had to have the unyielding character and integrity.

Once the trend of flattery prevails, the country will not be a country!
