Chapter 138 How can I forgive my sins if I die ten thousand times?
Daming Yingtian City.
Inside the imperial city, there were screams accompanied by the screams of Liang Guogong Lan Yu under the punishment of his staff.
The emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi, who was in charge of the country for the first time, witnessed nearly ten officials present, going out to report the same thing.
There are only about a hundred civil and military officials in the court, each divided into half. The people who send out the memorial are all civil servants, accounting for 20% of the civil servants.
Zhu Yunxi glanced indifferently at the chief civil servant, the minister of the Ministry of official affairs, and Zhan Hui, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Most of the civil servants present at the memorial were functional officials of the fifth and sixth grades of various ministries and yamen. As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhan Hui was in charge of the court officials.
Facing the civil servants behind him, they came out to protest. The emperor's grandson released the princess and was deposed, and the Guangling County Prince was deposed. Zhan Hui also had a headache.
The emperor deposed the prime minister in recent years, and all the ministries and offices in the court were directly responsible to the emperor. This resulted in no one being able to suppress and control the officials in a real sense.
Even though he, Zhan Hui, was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he was still in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Zhan Hui met Zhu Yunxi's gaze with a look of helplessness on his face.
I can’t do it!
"Report to the Emperor's Grandson."
"The Crown Princess was consecrated by His Majesty personally in the fifteenth year of Hongwu's reign and entered the Ming Dynasty clan's treasure register."
The officials who had gone out to report to the class had already stood up and spoke again.
"Now that the Crown Princess passed away suddenly, the imperial court wants to deprive her of the title of Crown Princess and bury her in a different tomb. This is inconsistent with etiquette and law, and inconsistent with the court."
"If I, the Crown Princess of the Ming Dynasty, the prince of the clan and the county, were deprived of my title, deposed, and passed away without any explanation, how could I be seen by the world and recorded by historians?"
"As ministers of the Ming Dynasty, I should be loyal to the country and assist the king and the country. I will never cause my Ming Dynasty clan to be criticized by future generations for matters of etiquette and law, so as to preserve the mighty imperial power of our Ming Dynasty family."
In full view of the public, these officials had solemn faces and resolute expressions, and they really seemed to be thinking about the Ming Dynasty.
Facing the scrutiny of the emperor's grandson, they raised their spirits in a deep voice and stated their request again.
"I invite you to report to the Emperor's Grandson. Let me begin by asking you why the Crown Princess passed away and why she was deprived of her title."
"The Prince of Guangling County was not arrogant and disobedient, so why was he deposed from the title of Prince and imprisoned in the Imperial City of Zhongdu?"
After finishing speaking, these people waved their official robes and knelt on the ground in neat movements.
Zhan Hui and other civil servant leaders, one by one, the two eyebrows on their foreheads were already tangled together, as if they were about to fight.
Zhu Yunxi slowly leaned on the armchair, looking at the dozen or so officials in front of him who wanted to know the truth about Lu and Zhu Yunwen.
He glanced sideways.
Over there, the second uncle Chang Sheng is supervising the royal guards and chastising Liang Guogong Lan Yu.
You should have had enough fights by now.
The two imperial cavalrymen in royal robes who were carrying out executions had already put away their wooden sticks and left the place quietly.
Someone else came forward, lifted up Lan Yu, who seemed to be dying, and brought him to Zhu Yunxi.
Zhu Yunxi looked at Lan Yu's back and buttocks, which were stained with blood, but the muscles and bones were not broken, and then he nodded and waved.
Chang Sheng raised his hands and ordered the blue jade to be taken away.
Afterwards, silence fell into silence in front of the palace gate.
Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, who was huddled in the general train, looked left and right at the reactions of his colleagues.
"I am waiting for you..."
"Beat your mother!" Cao Zhen roared, interrupting the dozen or so officials who wanted to continue speaking and urging Zhu Yunxi to give an explanation.
He put his hands on his hips, widened his eyes, glared at the officials, and started to curse loudly.
"A bunch of trash with no eggs!"
Sun Gouer:???
Cao Zhen continued to curse: "It's just one person who died, so what? I don't see you caring about whether there are any dead people in the place."
"You!"
"Jingchuan Hou!"
The officials who were scolded and scolded all looked sideways and angrily at Cao Zhen.
However, Cao Zhen became more and more aggressive in his scolding: "I hate you useless people the most. The Ming Dynasty is full of princes and princes, so what if one of them is deposed. Will the sky of our Ming Dynasty fall down?" "You guys who harbor evil intentions, do you think that I, the Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, can no longer be the master of the country?"
"Still you think the prince will never get better?"
"Or do you think that the emperor's grandson is not enough to supervise the country and uphold the government's affairs?"
Cao Zhen's scolding became more and more vigorous, and he gave these officials big hats one after another.
This is my strongest substitute!
There was some disbelief in Zhu Yunxi's eyes, and he looked energetically at Cao Zhen, who had scolded the civil servants so much that they dared not speak, and felt very satisfied in his heart.
These officials who petitioned were pointed at their noses and scolded by Cao Zhen, and were almost charged with conspiracy.
Suddenly everyone was indignant.
He looked up at Cao Zhen, who was scolding him vigorously.
"Jingchuan Marquis, this is the imperial palace, and the emperor's grandson is in front of you. We are playing for state affairs, but you are so presumptuous, disrespectful of etiquette and law, and wantonly framed us!"
"The Marquis of Jingchuan should not rely on his past achievements to act arrogantly in front of the emperor's grandson."
As they spoke, the group of civil servants immediately turned their guns towards Zhu Yunxi.
"I report to the emperor's grandson that I impeach the Marquis of Jingchuan Cao Zhen. He lost his manners in front of the palace and slandered the court officials. I ask the emperor's grandson to severely punish and admonish him!"
Originally, he was dissatisfied with the fact that these civil servants wanted to inform him about the true situation in the palace yesterday, but now he saw that these civil servants were confusing right and wrong and engaging in a verbal dispute in front of him.
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
He glanced at Zhan Hui and several other ministers.
Then he asked calmly: "The matter of abolishing the crown princess and deposing the king of Guangling County involves yesterday's changes in the Ming Dynasty palace. Everything is decided by your majesty, and you should abide by it. If you continue to slander, you should be held accountable and handed over to the Secretary."<
/p>
With that said, Zhu Yunxi had already looked at Sun Gou'er aside, gesturing for him to speak, and dismissed today's Yumen Supervisor.
On the other end, Zhan Hui and others were already cursing in their hearts. These little bastards have low official positions and don't know much about anything else. They just know how to ask questions every day.
Are they able to interfere with matters in the palace?
Yesterday, when several of them came to meet with them, they could clearly see that the blood stains on the steps in front of the main hall had not yet been washed away.
The deposed Guangling County Prince’s forehead was bloody and bloody, and he was dying.
Fortunately, the emperor's grandson is in charge of the country today. If they were placed in front of His Majesty, these people would definitely be charged with gossiping.
Dismissal from office and seizure of title are light punishments.
They probably saw that the emperor's grandson was supervising the country for the first time, and the priority was to stabilize the government.
But the officials who made the announcement refused to agree.
"The emperor's grandson, ministers, etc..."
"Shut up!" Zhan Hui finally couldn't help it. He turned around after leaving work and glared at these blind idiots: "The emperor's grandson has already told the reason. If you dare to pester me again, I will investigate it and wait until the end.
What’s the intention!”
In today's dynasty, the emperor is the largest, and the prince is the second.
This group of officials turned a blind eye to the rebuke from Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Service.
"Zhan Shangshu, we are asking about the etiquette of the country. The Crown Princess, the King of Guangling County was involved in yesterday's palace incident, but to what extent was it involved, and why was he deposed?"
"Zhan Shangshu, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Yushi of Zuodu of the Imperial Court. You are not concerned about the affairs of the country, you do not worry about the monarch, and you do not think about the monarch's reputation in history. Are you going to be like the treacherous sycophants of Qin Hui's generation?" p>
It is said that a scholar’s mouth can curse people to death.
As soon as these officials opened their mouths, they pushed Zhan Hui so hard that he trembled all over.
Although he is not as good as that famous official with a long history, he has been an official for many years, but he is still diligent and diligent. Now he is being scolded by these little gangsters as treacherous officials like Qin Hui. How can Zhan Hui not be angry?
His eyes turned red and he stretched out his hand: "My officer! My officer..."
"How? Is Shangshu Zhan going to use his power for personal gain in front of the emperor's grandson? Or is he going to frame the loyal people of the court in this imperial city?"
Zhan Hui was already trembling with anger.
His face turned livid: "You are outrageous! You really are outrageous! Analyze sly words and force your words to make sense!"
Zhu Yunxi was also angry at this time.
These officials, who are aggressive to each other again and again, really think that the old man and the prince are in trouble?
He stood up slowly, and walked step by step to the court train under the watchful eyes of all the officials.
He looked at these officials quietly: "You guys, are you going to avenge the deposed crown princess and the deposed king of Guangling County?"
When these people faced Zhu Yunxi's questioning, their expressions changed.
"I'm waiting..."
"Hmph!" Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly: "Why did I want you to know about the affairs of the country and the heavenly family? Do you want to make decisions for my family?"
"Chen..."
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and interrupted the explanations of these officials again: "If I don't give an explanation, will you even impeach me?"
Zhu Yunxi always maintained a calm expression, but his tone was extremely stern, and every word was heartbreaking.
These officials were completely panicked.
Only then did they remember that just now the emperor's grandson had even ordered his uncles and grandfathers to be beaten until they were on the verge of death, without knowing whether they were alive or dead.
A plop.
In panic, these officials knelt on the ground and apologized.
"I don't dare!"
"I'll die!"
"I will never dare to interfere in the affairs of the Heavenly Family."
At this point, they still want to continue to explain their behavior today.
"I just didn't know the details in advance and were afraid that the reputation of our Ming Dynasty clan would be disgraced, so I just made the request."
"I have been waiting for ten thousand deaths, and the emperor's grandson will forgive me..."
Zhu Yunxi's eyes twitched and he said coldly: "How can I forgive my sins if I die ten thousand times?"
His calm words immediately made the officials who were still explaining themselves feel weak.
Will the emperor’s grandson also uphold the emperor’s style?
Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan on the side, saw stars in his eyes. He felt that the emperor's grandson was still the emperor's grandson after all. Just a few sentences were far more powerful than his long curses.
The generals even looked at him with excitement and admiration.
This is the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty!
The grandson of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty should be so arrogant, making decisions about the country with every word and deed, and frightening the disloyal heart of the court!
On the other hand, Zhao Mian, the Minister of Household Affairs, was shocked and hurried out of class to intercede for the officials who had petitioned: "I would like to report to the grandson of the emperor..."
"Your Majesty has a will!"
However, a voice suddenly came from behind the palace door, interrupting Zhao Mian's plea.
Zhu Yunxi was slightly surprised and turned around to look over.
I saw a young eunuch, holding an imperial edict high in his hand, and walked quickly in front of the officials.
Zhu Yunxi keenly noticed that the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Jiang Yu, who had been waiting by the side and never left, suddenly flashed a murderous look on his face after seeing the eunuch who came out with the imperial edict.
The little eunuch first saluted Zhu Yunxi respectfully.
"My servants see the emperor's grandson."
Zhu Yunxi nodded and signaled the other party to continue.
The young eunuch's face perked up and he looked calmly at the officials kneeling in front of Zhu Yunxi.
"Your Majesty said that some small things have happened in Yingtian recently, and the court is still stable. However, some people do not want to serve the Ming Dynasty, and their words and deeds are disobedient. At the time of the turmoil of the country, they are acting like flies and dogs, seeking personal gain. Order the Jin Yiwei to command the envoy Jiang
Hu, immediately arrest these treacherous and disobedient people, send them to Jinyiweizhao Prison, and interrogate them according to the order of the Marquis!"
Finished speaking the will.
The officials who were kneeling on the ground suddenly collapsed to the ground.
But the little eunuch took out another booklet.
"Zhao Fenglu, the head of the Ministry of Personnel."
"Zuo Canlin, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice."
