Huang Yongnian seemed to have expected it and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
After saying that, he started to tremble all over, as if he was really seriously ill, and slowly turned around and left.
Before dawn, the words "Farewell" were written on the hearts of the six nine temples. Lin Zijian, Xu Zhengle, Zhang Wugang and others even wrote "Please return the rest".
Qianshou Palace, Brother Nuan.
Zhu Youjian, who had stayed up all night, looked tired and his eyes were red. Looking at these books asking for leave and begging for remains, his face turned livid. He flipped through one after another and dropped one after another. He was panting, gritting his teeth, and could not say a word of hate. .
Wu Bodong and Zhang Cheng stood not far in front of him, their heads lowered, and the atmosphere was frightening.
An internal supervisor hurriedly came in from the outside and said, "Long live Mr. Zhang Ge, please see me."
Zhu Youjian looked bored and said, "Let him come in."
"Yes." the internal supervisor replied.
Not long after, Zhang Guanzhi hurried over with an anxious look on his face. He didn't bother to salute and said: "Your Majesty, the situation is not good. Five or six of the officials in the court, above the fourth rank, have taken leave, and most of the government offices are empty... …”
There have been many reports about Zhu Youjian asking for leave and resigning. Listening to Zhang Guanzhi's words, it is not surprising at all. His face became worse and worse. He said: "What can you do?"
Zhang Guanzhi was transferred from the Taoist Mansion and had very few connections in the government and the public, let alone filling in so many people at once.
Zhang Guanzhi seemed very reluctant and said: "Your Majesty, Yuan Fu proposed to hold a meeting with the DPRK."
It has been almost three months since Zhu Youjian inherited the throne, and he has not held a single meeting. First, he has been trying to understand and control the situation. Second, many things have happened, and there is no chance at all.
Zhu Youjian was very disappointed with Zhang Guanzhi after hearing what he said. Huang Yongnian had to use the discussion to suppress Cui Chengxiu. This completely went against Zhu Youjian's ideas. However, Zhang Guanzhi seemed to be unable to see this level at all.
"I know that you went to the Internal Affairs Bureau to stabilize government affairs." Zhu Youjian was very disappointed and didn't show it on his face. He said lightly.
Zhang Guanzhi also wanted to say, but looking at Zhu Youjian's tired look, he had to say: "I'm retired."
When Zhang Guanzhi left, Zhu Youjian felt even more pressure. Sitting on the chair, feeling suffocated, he stood up straight and said: "Empire Garden."
Wu Bodong reacted and accompanied Zhu Youjian to the Imperial Garden.
Wu Bodong followed Zhu Youjian and looked at his back without saying a word.
After Wei Zhongxian's death, the tense court situation finally fell into chaos with the capture of Cui Chengxiu.
The new emperor has only been on the throne for three months and is in charge of the affairs of the court. He does not have many people in his hands, and it is impossible to replace all the eunuchs in the court at once.
Now the first auxiliary and the six adults of the Nine Halls are almost ready, and all the pressure is focused on the new emperor.
What can I do?
Wu Bodong also came from the imperial court and had seen many scenes of fighting in the imperial court. This time the imperial officials made a concerted effort to "ask for leave", far exceeding the grand occasion of the "national struggle" in those years.
At that time, Emperor Wanli, who had been in power for more than 30 years, had to retreat. What could the new emperor, who had only succeeded to the throne for three months, do?
Zhu Youjian was only 16 years old. He walked towards the imperial garden with a straight face. No one knew how angry he was. There was a lot of pressure inside the palace, but there was no sign of stopping outside the palace.
More than 20 Supervisory Yuan prosecutors came to the battle to impeach Kou Tan and argued for Choi Sung-soo.
The Ministry of Punishment is directly investigating Kou Tan and collecting various "evidences".
An overwhelming force quickly poured into the palace and into the young emperor.
Until noon, Qianshou Palace summoned the first assistant Huang Yongnian, assistant official Ma Shuan, official Zhang Wugang, official Lin Zijian, and military official Meng Feiwen. It turned out that these people were "seriously ill" and could not enter the palace to see them. driver.
In the afternoon, a major incident suddenly broke out in the Ministry of Revenue. The treasury was empty and officials at all levels of the court were unable to receive rewards.
The so-called "year-end bonus" probably means year-end bonus.
This matter quickly spread throughout the government and the public, causing anxiety and uneasiness among many officials. All their eyes were eagerly looking at Qianshou Palace.
Qianshou Palace is as quiet as an abyss, and it is difficult for outsiders to see anything.
Except for the failure of the summons, there was no other action in Qianshou Palace until dark.
Lin Mansion.
Lin Qingzheng came back from the Taoist Mansion, looking tired and anxious.
Lin Chong also returned home from Dali Temple early and was waiting in the hall.
"Dad, what happened?" Lin Zhong looked at Lin Qingzheng and asked.
Lin Qingzheng sat on a chair, took a sip of tea, and then said: "There are also many people in the Taoist Mansion who have asked for leave and resigned."
Lin Jing was listening in the audience, looking as usual.
The Eunuch Party has infiltrated everywhere. Not only has Wei Zhongxian committed suicide and the Eunuch Party is at a loss, Cui Chengxiu's capture has put everyone in the Eunuch Party at risk. Their departure may be a test, and resignation is a sign of fear and thought. To escape.
Lin Zhong didn't think too much and said: "Okay, there is one in Dali Temple too. We adults are even more ready to resign and are already cleaning up."
Lin Qingzheng looked at him without saying a word, then turned to Lin Jing and said, "What are you busy with?"
Lin Jing did not tell Lin Qingzheng that he sent Cui Chengxiu in. He smiled and said: "Nanxi Pavilion now has hundreds of people coming in and out every day, and there are also literary giants like Mr. Ju Shui. I am very busy."
After hearing this, Lin Qingzheng nodded slightly and said, "Don't interfere."
The current situation is a huge powder keg. The people inside will be blown to pieces at any time, leaving no bones left!
Lin Jing's mouth moved, but he still didn't dare to tell Father Lin.
Lin Zhong said thoughtfully: "There are a lot of discussions outside now, saying that there are flatterers around the emperor. I don't know who he is referring to..."
The faces of Lin Qingzheng and Lin Jing both changed slightly.
"Where did it come from?" Lin Qingzheng asked. As the emperor's dignitary and a trusted minister, there are flatterers around the emperor. Who is this for?
Lin Zhong was stunned when he saw Lin Qingzheng's expression. He quickly said: "It came from Dali Temple. He didn't say who it was. This is how it was passed down."
Lin Jing's expression condensed slightly, he looked at Father Lin and said, "Dad, I think it's probably for you."
Zhang Guanzhi still has no power, but Lin Qingzheng, who is responsible for investigating "Wei Zhongxian", is likely to arouse the fear of the eunuchs and start taking action.
Lin Qingzheng nodded silently and said, "Nothing."
Seeing that Father Lin looked calm, Lin Jing must have had a countermeasure in mind. After thinking for a while, he asked tentatively: "Dad, what did Dou Jiande, Ke Shengjia and others explain?"
Lin Qingzheng looked at Lin Jing and said, "Do you want to ask about the salt merchant?"
Lin Jing made no secret of it and nodded, "I've been waiting for the opportunity to give him a hammer."
Seeing Lin Jing being so calm, Lin Qingzheng paused and said, "Yes, almost all the big merchants have sent money to Wei Zhongxian, and the Yang family is right there. What do you want to do?"
