After that day, Lord Tietan once again went to the court and applied to enthrone Su Xin as his concubine.
It goes without saying that the ancients had pedantic ideas. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all complained against it. Even under the prompting of some thoughtful people, more than 500 ministers including the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Household Affairs wrote a petition to denounce the iron courageous prince.
Going against the grain and disregarding the late emperor's will.
Under this situation, Zhu Houzhao could only reject Zhu Wuli's request again.
The iron-hearted god angrily left the court early.
Ten days later, when he went to court again, the ministers were filled with indignation and impeachments continued.
AD 1514, the seventh day of the fourth lunar month.
Zhu Liangzhao, the Marquis of Jiale, Hua Longyun, the Marquis of Huainan, Gong Tianzhao, the pro-military governor, Ban Qing, the provincial marshal, Huo Chuang, the governor of the capital, Lao Biao, the minister of the Ministry of War, and other top ten border guard generals of the Ming Dynasty, all left their posts without permission and rushed to the place on horseback.
Beijing.
In the morning court, the Iron Dan God Hou Zhu ignored his appearance for ten days. He led the ten border guard generals and marched straight into the Jinluan Palace, breaking the usual sound of impeaching the Iron Dan Lord Hou in the court.
All the civil and military officials in the dynasty bowed their heads and kept silent.
Zhu Houzhao's expression changed drastically as he sat on the dragon throne.
The Tiedan Shenhou no longer had any taboos, his eyes were like ghosts, and he stood on both sides of the Golden Palace with his powerful energy. The silent ministers retreated one after another, almost overturning the Golden Palace.
Zhu Wuwu sternly clasped his fists and spoke very fast: "My lord Zhu Wuwu, the late emperor worshiped the iron gall god Marquis, and invited the emperor's nephew three times. The king's beloved is his concubine!"
Emperor Zhu Houzhao was almost out of breath. He was pinned down on the dragon chair by a mysterious energy that seemed to choose others and devour him. The hair on his back stood up, and he could not hide his fear.
"Marquis Shen, what do you mean by this? The generals have left their posts without permission, I, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Wuwu looked like a falcon again and said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty Zhu Wuwu, the late emperor worshiped the iron gall god Marquis, invited the emperor's nephew four times, and the king's beloved is his concubine!"
Zhu Houzhao's chest was beating wildly, and he was almost out of breath from the pressure of that kind of energy.
His face was livid, and he looked at the civil and military officials of the court who bowed their heads and remained silent, as well as the iron-gallant God Marquis with sword-like eyes, and the ten border guard generals standing behind him with expressionless expressions, and said: "Okay.
, OK... ministers, the Lord Shen wants to appoint girl Su Xin as his concubine, is there anyone who objects?"
It seemed that someone wanted to stand up. Zhu Wulan's sharp eyes swept over the familiar faces, full of murderous intent!
Under this kind of momentum, no one would doubt that if anyone dared to take a step, he would be immediately killed by Zhu Wuli with one palm!
No one answered.
The ministers who had earlier indignantly impeached Marquis Tietan did not dare to look directly into the eyes of Zhu Wuwu and Zhu Houzhao. Some ministers who wanted to speak also turned their heads with expressions on their faces.
Zhu Houzhao smiled miserably, as if he had seen the full scope of these verbal heroes, and said: "Since there is no objection, I will now issue an order to confer the title of Su..."
"etc!"
A high-pitched voice sounded.
It was the treacherous eunuch Cao Zhengchun, the governor of the East Factory, who stood behind Zhu Houzhao and remained silent.
Zhu Houzhao, who was already in a state of confusion, seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw at this moment. He turned to look at Cao Zhengchun and said, "Does Cao Aiqing have any objections?"
Cao Zhengchun also had a livid look on his face. He pinched his thumb and glanced at the ministers who bowed their heads in silence. He hated iron and said: "Your righteous speech and your spirit of pointing out the country were all ruined by dogs."
Have you eaten yet?!"
Still no one answered, only the lowered head.
Cao Zhengchun, like Zhu Houzhao, also smiled miserably and said: "It turns out that there is only one man named Cao in this civil and military dynasty!"
The faces of the ministers with their heads lowered were flushed, and a few of them wanted to speak in agreement, but they were forced to hold back the words with the eyes of the timid lord who was choosing others to devour.
The biggest eunuch of the Ming Dynasty pointed at him and scolded him for not being a man, but no one refuted him.
Zhu Mingli's face was expressionless, but full of murderous intent. He stared at Cao Zhengchun and said, "Eunuch Cao? Do you have any objections?"
Cao Zhengchun's voice was shrill, he pinched his fingers and gritted his teeth and said: "Yes! Of course I have it! I don't say whether my heart is unclean or not, nor what the late emperor's decree is. Your Majesty, forgive me for being so bold and treasonous."
, the old rites of the ancestors are no better than the rules of the new dynasty, and there is nothing wrong with changing them after discussion!
But! Zhu Wuli, what do you mean by this? And you, you are our generals who guard the border! What crime should you do if you act against the will and leave your post without permission?!
As long as Cao is here, no one will be allowed to do anything to force the emperor to go to the palace! If you want to threaten the emperor, or even rebel, you have to pass Cao first!"
What is unexpected is that Zhu Wuwu did not take action immediately, but narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Cao Zhengchun, you formed a party for personal gain and harmed the country and the people. How many of the ministers in the DPRK were murdered by you because of your impeachment?
What kind of loyalty are you here to show me now?!"
Boom!
Cao Zhengchun immediately knelt in front of Zhu Houzhao, and with his knees, there were cracks around the dragon chair. He said: "Hahahaha... Yes, what Tidan Shenhou said is correct. Cao is guilty, and there are
A big crime! It’s punishable by death!
But now that things have come to this, Your Majesty, please forgive Wei Chen for the death penalty for the time being! So that Wei Chen can protect you!"
Zhu Houzhao's face was pale, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly. He didn't know whether he was angry or frightened. He swallowed his saliva, stood up in person, helped an eunuch up, and said: "Cao Aiqing, please stand up. No matter what crimes you have committed in the past,
There will be no prosecution today..."
Cao Zhengchun kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Then he stood up suddenly, facing the ministers of the DPRK and the Iron Dan Lord, his whole body was filled with aura, and he formed a confrontation with Zhu Wuwu in the air.
He said in a stern voice: "Whatever crime the Lord Shen has committed, just tell him and Cao will know the crime! But Cao wants to tell the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty that this governor has committed a great crime! His intention is to kill one person!"
However, this governor also has great loyalty and righteousness!
Zhu Wuwu, I know what you want and what you value most, isn't it the third heavenly fragrant cardamom?
Hum hum, to be honest, this third one is in Cao's hand!
If you don't leave with these ten most sinful officials and wait for the Emperor's punishment, I will destroy the third heavenly fragrant cardamom and separate you from Su Xin heavenly beings forever!"
