.In front of the Golden Palace, a rare coup in history happened in an instant. Gao Gong was in a panic, and all the officials were shocked. They thought it was the winner, but they turned it into defeat. They were all the ones that were bound to lose, but turned it into victory. Many people were still in a dream, and it was difficult to tell whether what had just happened was really illusion.

But there was a man who remained absolutely awake. He took a step forward and, in full view of everyone, grabbed the sleeve of the eunuch who was sent to the imperial eunuch.

"Gei Master Chen, what are you doing?" Zhao Cheng said in a panic.

"I want to meet the saint, please report to Eunuch Zhao." said silently and silently.

"Face...Face Saint?" Zhao Cheng was startled at first, and then he said with a slight slut, "You, don't you obey the order?"

"Of course I dare not." Chen Si shook his head and said one by one: "But the stay and leave of the chief minister is a major matter of the country. Now no officials have impeached him, which proves his serious crime. He has not asked him to submit a memorial to defend himself, so that the people of the world will be convinced. Just use the imperial edict to stop it, which will inevitably lead to rumors and panic. Or let me meet the emperor on behalf of the officials and ask clearly that it is indeed the holy intention, and it is not too late to receive the imperial edict." The silent voice was not loud, but it shocked everyone's ears! I was crazy, the chief minister was killed instantly on the spot, and the second auxiliary was in public and openly resisted the imperial edict and refused to obey it. Is there anything more sensational in the world than this?

"Mr. Shen, are you confused?" Zhao Chenglian said with a look of his eyes: "This is an imperial edict, and the imperial edict is naturally the holy will!"

"The problem lies in this will. Its content is contradictory and makes people unable to understand." Chen Si was unmoved, and raised Huang Ling in his hand and said to himself: "As mentioned above, when the late emperor was dying, he held Gaoge's hand and entrusted the world. Naturally, he highly recognized Gao Lao's loyalty. The sage said, 'The way of the father was not changed for three years'. Although the emperor is still in his prime, the name of benevolence and filial piety has spread all over the world. How could he conclude that the late emperor was unfaithful to the people in the world just six days before the bones of the late emperor were cold? Isn't this saying that the late emperor has no wisdom to know people? So I can't believe this will comes from the emperor!"

"The emperor is still young, and he has two palaces to decide!" Zhao Cheng was already sweating, which was a big departure from the script. How could he know how to continue playing this small role?

"Stop, don't slander the two palaces!" Before he could speak, one of the people behind him was the Imperial College Priest Xu Wei. Fatty Xu's hair and hair were all open, and his face was full of anger. He pointed at the other party and said, "The most taboo thing in the country for two hundred years is the harem interference in politics. The two empresses are observing the laws and never ask about politics. How could they openly violate the family laws of the ancestors, reach out to the outside court, and take away the ministers of the late emperor's orphans as soon as they come up? I have had such a precedent in the Ming Dynasty! Is there any trouble in this? Can it be done if I don't ask clearly?!"

"Then you wait, I will ask for instructions..." Seeing that Da Jiuqing was also angry, Zhao Cheng could not hold back at all and rolled back to the inner palace.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After Zhao Cheng left, the officials in the square could no longer suppress it and began to whisper and whisper... They were completely shocked by the emperor's power, and were frightened by the premier's sudden fall from the peak of power. They were all silent and did not dare to say anything. But the second assistant stood up, adhered to the principles, and had to comply with the procedures before they agreed to accept the order. They stopped a thing that everyone seemed to be overwhelmed... Although it seemed that this behavior was more like doing it even though they knew it was impossible to do it, and people could not see the hope of success. But this pause, the imperial authority pressure generated in a specific environment and a specific state, also disappeared naturally. The big stone pressing on the hearts of the officials loosened, and they began to regain their normal thinking, and exchanged their views in a low voice about what had just happened.

It doesn't matter if you don't discuss it. When you startle, what happened just now? With the decree, the prime minister and chief minister of the dynasty were completely expelled without any mercy.

But is this imperial edict really the emperor's meaning? Of course not. The emperor is less than ten years old, so is the meaning of the two palaces? This is hard to say, but just like Xu Wei, the priest of the Imperial College, said, the empress of the two palaces is in the forbidden palace, how much do you know about the outside world? Isn't it all listened to Feng Bao!

Yes, it is Feng Bao! This decree must have come from Feng Bao! The officials of Beijing are naturally familiar with what happened in the past ten days since the death of the late emperor, not to mention that in the past two days, in order to impeach Feng Bao, the censors made a lot of public announcements, connecting Feng Bao's evil deeds long ago... Isn't it just a forgery of the eunuch? After deciding that all this was done by the dead eunuch, the officials were extremely angry and extremely fearful.

The chief minister, chief advisor, the first minister, outstanding meritorious, honest and dedicated, unparalleled, loyal and invincible, was actually a eunuch who was punished by a decree by a eunuch without making any mistakes! What a basket of people heard about it, how ridiculous it was?! What a thing that Wang Zhen and Liu Jin dared not do at that time. If he succeeded, then who else could not be punished by the court at will?

Is it a time that is even darker than Liu Jin's period about to come? It seems certain. You must know that when Wuzong ascended the top, he was at least fifteen years old, and now he is only ten years old in the prefectures. The gap in these five years is likely to be the five years when Feng Bao did more evil than Liu Jin. How many of the nobles present can withstand it? One and the strong disgust and resistance quickly fermented and expanded in the hearts of all officials, making everyone's breathing thicker, their heartbeats accelerated, anger arose from their hearts, and evil arises to their courage...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the fission moment that Shen Mo has been suppressing his own strength, carrying the accusation of "the head-reducing turtle", and has been waiting for!

He waited for this moment for a full ten years! But it was earlier than he expected...

In terms of military strategy, the right time, place and people are inseparable. If you want to achieve great things, you still have to do with three things. If you want to create a major change that has not been seen in three thousand years, the requirements will be even more demanding. At least you must have an excellent opportunity once in a thousand years, and all kinds of favorable conditions are ready, while all kinds of unfavorable factors must be in the weakest period. Only in this way can it be possible to let the history of a powerful inertia slightly change its trajectory.

The slogan of "The king and the scholars share the world" has been shouted for thousands of years. However, the imperial power and the eunuchs who derived it actually bullied the power of ministers never stopped for a moment. Naturally, the struggle between ministers and imperial power never stopped for a moment. Since Yongle of this dynasty, under the pressure of ministers, the emperor gradually left the court and stopped asking about specific government affairs, but only had the final veto power, and the struggle with ministers was also handed over to eunuchs. More than a hundred years later, it was a process of rising ministers' power and declining monarch's power until it reached its peak in the early years of Jiajing.

Previous emperors before Jiajing, from Ren, Xuanzong, Yingzong to Xianzong, Renzong, all admitted their roles either actively or passively. But history has never been a straight line, but has moved forward in a spiral. Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance, and the same is true for the emperor. Therefore, a powerful king like Jiajing naturally had a fierce confrontation with the increasingly arrogant ministers. As a result, the emperor, who was naturally invincible, beat the ministers with a high tail to the ground after paying a heavy price. From then on, decades of independent ruling period began:

However, in the late period of his reign, Emperor Jiajing was addicted to alchemy and had no intention of governing the country; and because he was also ruthless to eunuchs, the status of civil servants rose again. But the key was that his son, after Emperor Longqing ascended the top, this emperor who lacked enthusiasm for governing the country but was very self-aware, simply adopted a rule and handed over the power of the country to his masters.

It was from this time that the country that was jeopardized by charcoal gradually began to cheer up and emerged from the quagmire of various crises. In the past six years, the border has been serene, the national treasury is full, and the people finally know the joy of life and people... All of this made people firmly believe that the Holy Emperor was the most suitable for the Ming Dynasty. In the Jiangnan area where the radical thoughts have begun to discuss the possibility of the real situation of the Void King...

The most intuitive and powerful evidence is Gao Gong's "Chen Wushi Commentary", which is clearly a political program that restricts the power of ministers. Gao Gong did not come from time to time. He came from a scholarly family and received traditional education since childhood. Then he became an official for thirty years. It can be said that he received the favor of the emperor in the world. But such a program came from the hands of this prime minister of the dynasty. Gao Gong could not have a sudden idea. Of course, it is feasible and must be popular.

Of course, I won't get the hearts of the mother and son in the palace.

But this is the second once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - the young minister suspected that this sentence was not just a joke. ‘The emperor was only ten years old, so what do you know about governing the country?’ This sentence is not just Gao Gong said alone, but everyone’s thoughts. The empress dowagers of the Ming Dynasty were all humble and lacked enough pattern and political minds to support their sons like the empress dowagers of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, the weak imperial power has become a foregone conclusion. The ministers had no respect for the late emperor, but now they are in the face of orphans and widows, and the word awe is even more indescribable: Therefore, the power of imperial power is at its lowest point.

The peaks of ministerial power and the trough of ministerial power have an intersection at this moment. Once you miss it, you will miss it and there will be no such opportunity again.

Recently, Shen Mo has felt a stronger and stronger feeling that he was born for this moment! All his previous efforts were for this occasion, so that he could stand on this occasion and have enough weight to say such words! Then sacrifice everything about him to the new route that is about to be opened...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The officials would not think as far as Shen Mo thought. It would be exciting enough that they only considered what was happening in front of them. Especially Gao Gong's disciples, the main force who impeached Feng Bao, they were terrified to realize a clear future - if this central order becomes a foregone conclusion, if Gao Gong ends up being alone and not a ghost, then what would be waiting for them?

It’s not just that it’s as simple as falling money and scattering? Feng Bao, who has mastered the supreme power, will definitely take revenge wildly. Ordinary Gaogong party members may just be punished and dismissed; hardcore like them will definitely be treated with special favors. Don’t forget that Feng Bao and Dongchang are also specialized in creating unjust prisons, asking for guilt, exile, or even beheading, implicating the whole family and being sold to the Jiaofangsi...all of which can be expected.

Han Ji, Luo Zun, Cheng Wen, Lu Shude, and Song Zhiwen were all in boundless fear. The censors from the Six Corps were already together, and at this moment they were no longer arrogant. Instead, they were at a loss in panic and asked each other: "What should I do?" "What should I do?" What should I do?"

Just as they were whining like a dog who was struggling, they suddenly heard a sneer on the side. In the cold wind and rain, this sound was particularly harsh, which naturally attracted Han Ji and others to look at each other: "Why, are you gloating?"

But after seeing clearly, their anger disappeared again, because the man was Chen Wude, the engineering department manager, and Feng Bao secretly used the materials from the palace to build a private house. So everyone was blown up on the same rope.

"Old Chen, you're just laughing," Song Zhiwen was so angry and cursed: "When did you still smile!"

"I laugh at you riding a donkey to find a donkey," Chen Wude still sneered and said repeatedly: "Isn't the only thing Emperor Taizu set up the Six-College Gallery for this and the time?"

It really woke up the dreamer, and the section chiefs immediately shuddered: "Yes, we have the right to refute, and we can refute the emperor's orders. Is there any other way around the world that can dispel this life-scattered person more legitimately than us?!"

The so-called "feudal" means "repaying the emperor's orders and refuting the wrong rules of the righteous ministers." In the orthodox dynasty, the monarchy is supreme, and it emphasizes more that the sacred and inviolable order of the imperial power is inviolable, rather than absolute authority in governance, and the sacred and powerful emperors are monopolized. There are actually very few emperors like Taizu who have to do things and are too busy. Even Taizu, who has absolute authority, is worried that his unworthy descendants will mess around and ruin their own country. Therefore, giving the ministers the right to fend for the emperor can reject the emperor's life, and worry that this right will be abused and threatened the status of the descendants, so he set up six departments with humble official positions to master this power.

It’s just that doing this is not only necessary to have authority, but also to have courage. You have to be not afraid of the emperor holding a grudge and dare to bet on your career. Therefore, this power has only been used a few times in two hundred years, and in recent decades, it has been completely blocked. No wonder everyone can’t remember it.
