Chapter 102 I implore Your Majesty to give priority to the people of the world!
After all, it is the human nature of a young man. Even if he is following Li Dongyang to teach him, now that his father's reputation has been damaged, Li Zhaofan will naturally look at Hu Ming angrily.
Hu Ming is a figure who has been in power for decades without falling. He can be called a tumbler in the political arena. His basic ability is to observe people's words and emotions. Therefore, with just one glance, Hu Ming could roughly guess what Li Zhaofan was thinking.
However, Hu Ming did not bother to explain to a junior, even Li Dongyang, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, did not show disdain, let alone Li Zhaofan.
Hu Ming stared at Li Dongyang and said: "Master Chief Assistant, please!"
Li Dongyang looked calm, but in fact he was already angry inside. The group of people had already discussed what attitude to take, and finally gave him a notice. Judging from Hu Ming's tone, it seemed like he was giving an order to himself.
Taking a deep breath, Li Dongyang tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart and said: "In that case, please allow Li to change into court clothes!"
Hu Ming nodded with satisfaction and said: "I am here to wait for Mr. Li!"
That attitude really did not take Li Dongyang, the chief assistant, to heart. Li Zhaofan on the side showed signs of getting angry, but at this moment Li Dongyang patted Li Zhaofan and said: "Come with my father and serve him to change his clothes!"
Li Zhaofan followed Li Dongyang closely. In the bedroom, Li Zhaofan helped Li Dongyang change his clothes. His face was full of anger and he said: "Father, these people have gone too far. They did not let you, the leader of the dynasty, be released at all."
They have discussed everything in their minds and then come to inform you. Are they treating you like a clay prime minister?"
Li Dongyang turned around, and Li Zhaofan helped Li Dongyang tie up the jade belt around his waist. Li Dongyang only heard Li Dongyang say: "Zhaofan, why have you forgotten your father's teachings? Whatever they want, let them go. As a father,
There is nothing we can do except take advantage of this opportunity to ask Your Majesty to take up his official position!"
Soon Li Dongyang walked out of the room and said to Hu Ming: "Old censor, let's go!"
The two people outside the door got on the carriage respectively. After all, Li Dongyang was already old. Li Zhaofan followed him personally. The carriage swayed and creaked as it rushed towards the Leopard Room.
Where the Leopard Room is, teams of guards are patrolling around. In front of the gate, several chamberlains are there. Although Zhu Houzhao is said to be in the Leopard Room, it does not mean that he will no longer be involved in major affairs in the DPRK. Whenever something happens,
, all the ministers of the court can come to the Leopard Room and seek an audience with him.
Therefore, Zhu Houzhao may have been addicted to having fun, but he never neglected state affairs.
When Li Dongyang got off the carriage, he saw nearly twenty important officials outside the Leopard Room, with Yang Tinghe as the core. Seeing him approaching, everyone was busy greeting Li Dongyang.
Li Dongyang returned the greeting with a smile: "Everyone, Li is just here to beg for his majesty's bones. Since he is old, can you please help Li intercede with your majesty so that my body and bones can return to my hometown!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this. The reason why they invited Li Dongyang to come was naturally because of his identity as the chief minister of Li Dongyang's cabinet. After all, they united to impeach Liu Jin, which even meant to force the palace.
Even if it succeeds afterwards, someone will definitely suffer the emperor's hatred. No one is willing to be this evil person. What are they fighting for? Isn't it just to be able to take a step forward?
But if they hated the emperor because of this, what was the point of everything they did?
Therefore, Li Dongyang, the chief minister, naturally became the perfect target to take the blame. Even if word spread, everyone would only think that Li Dongyang, the chief minister of the cabinet, led hundreds of civil and military officials to force the emperor to conceive.
Who would have thought that Li Dongyang would tell them to beg for bones when he first came up. Ever since Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, Li Dongyang had been begging for bones year after year, but the emperor rejected him every time and gave him a reward to keep him.
It's not that Li Dongyang has Zhu Houzhao's trust, but compared to Liu Jian, Xie Qian and other cabinet members left by Emperor Hongzhi, Li Dongyang's temperament is the most easy-going and the best to control, so Zhu Houzhao will let him go.
Liu Jin drove away Liu Jian and moved to Xie, leaving Li Dongyang alone as the chief minister of the cabinet.
Although everyone speculates that the emperor will still not allow Li Dongyang's begging, but if he is not afraid of ten thousand, he is afraid of the worst. If Li Dongyang succeeds in begging for bones, who will be the leader then?
Mao Ji showed a smile on his face and said to Li Dongyang: "Master Li is always going strong and strong. Your Majesty relies heavily on you. How could you agree to Master Li to take up the official position so early?"
"Yes, if the chief minister leaves, the cabinet will definitely be in chaos. For the sake of the well-being of all people, please stop begging for bones!"
Yang Tinghe glanced at Li Dongyang with a complicated expression, and sighed softly: "Since Brother Bin has this intention, then Tinghe will definitely help Brother Bin to plead with His Majesty."
Li Dongyang laughed loudly and stroked his beard and said to Yang Tinghe: "It's better that Jiefu knows me!"
As he spoke, Li Dongyang walked towards the door of the Leopard Room. The servants guarding the door were very familiar with Li Dongyang and his party. All of them were ministers of the court and had been to the Leopard Room more than once.
"This slave has met Mr. Chief Assistant!"
Li Dongyang nodded slightly and said: "Go and report to Your Majesty, Li Dongyang, Mr. Yang Tinghe and all of you, please see Your Majesty!"
The chamberlain glanced at Li Dongyang and others, nodded and said, "My lords, please wait a moment! I will go and report this to your lords right now!"
In the Leopard Room, Zhu Houzhao was listening to Liu Jin's cry when suddenly a chamberlain came and said: "Your Majesty, Li Dongyang, the chief minister, Yang Ting, Ge Lao and other dozens of ministers from the DPRK and China have jointly requested to see your Majesty!"
"What, so many of them came together to ask for an audience with His Majesty. What do they want to do? Force him into a palace?"
Liu Jin's heart skipped a beat and she shouted almost instinctively.
Liu Jin was not stupid. Li Dongyang and others, especially dozens of important officials from the court, came together. Couldn't he still guess what this meant?
This is basically coming to force the emperor to take him down!
Zhu Houzhao frowned slightly. Even if Liu Jin didn't say anything, Zhu Houzhao knew that Yang Ting and the others were implicitly trying to force the palace.
As the emperor, Zhu Houzhao has a young mind. The stimulation he received at this moment said to Liu Jin: "Liu Daban can rest assured. If I don't want to, they can't force me!"
After serving Zhu Houzhao for so many years, Liu Jin naturally knew Zhu Houzhao's temperament. Just looking at Zhu Houzhao's reaction, she knew that this time Yang Ting and them had the opposite effect.
Zhu Houzhao's eyebrows straightened and he said, "Masters, please come in!"
Soon, more than ten or twenty important civil and military ministers of the court, headed by Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe, came in their court uniforms. From a distance, they saw Liu Jin, who was standing bowed next to Zhu Houzhao.
However, everyone ignored Liu Jin and saluted the emperor in unison: "I will pay my respects to your majesty!"
With a slight smile on his face, Zhu Houzhao waved his hands and said, "Quickly come to terms with your family!"
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao turned to the chamberlain on the side and said, "I'll give you a seat, sir!"
Everyone hurriedly thanked the emperor, but Zhu Houzhao looked at Li Dongyang and said, "Master Li, why did you mobilize troops and come here like this?"
Li Dongyang said slowly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have two things to report to Your Majesty!"
Zhu Houzhao straightened up and said, "Oh, I don't know what's wrong with Mr. Li, please just tell me."
Li Dongyang took off his hat, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor: "I sincerely ask your Majesty to allow me to beg for my bones!"
Zhu Houzhao originally thought that Li Dongyang would impeach Liu Jin, but he did not expect that the other party would actually beg for bones at this time. He was slightly stunned. When he realized it, Zhu Houzhao stood up suddenly, walked quickly to Li Dongyang, helped Li Dongyang up and said: "Sir, why are you doing this?"
If you insist on leaving me, you are an old minister left to me by my father. I have always regarded you as my teacher. If you leave, who else can I rely on?"
Zhu Houzhao himself was a man of temperament. Li Dongyang was selected by Emperor Hongzhi to be crowned Prince Shaobao and was responsible for teaching Zhu Houzhao as the prince. There was indeed a master-disciple relationship between the two. Zhu Houzhao rejected Li Dongyang's begging for bones several times, not just because of Li Dongyang.
In addition to better control of the cabinet, there is also the affection of the former East Palace.
After hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Li Dongyang couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. He burst into tears and said, "Your majesty, please accept this because I am too old."
Zhu Houzhao said with hesitation: "Let me think about it, let me think about it!"
Originally, a group of people came here to force the emperor to take down Liu Jin, but the result was not good. Zhu Houzhao and Li Dongyang staged such a touching scene for them, where the emperor and his ministers got along well with each other.
It is not good for anyone to speak at this moment, otherwise, not only will Li Dongyang be angered, but the Emperor will also be angered.
After a while, Zhu Houzhao comforted Li Dongyang and changed the subject: "Sir, you just said there were two things. I wonder what the second one is about?"
Li Dongyang sighed slightly, and subconsciously glanced at Liu Jin beside him. When Liu Jin met his eyes, Liu Jin could feel Li Dongyang's helplessness.
Then I heard Li Dongyang say: "Your Majesty, I am here to apologize to Your Majesty!"
After saying that Li Dongyang fell to the ground again, Zhu Houzhao was puzzled. He looked at Li Dongyang, then at Yang Tinghe and others.
All I could hear was Li Dongyang saying: "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty. While he was in charge of the cabinet, he had no political achievements. On the contrary, it made the people resentful and caused King Anhua to rebel in the border town!"
Yang Tinghe and others did not expect that Li Dongyang would do something like this, and they all realized that something was not right about the situation. Hu Ming took the first step and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, Mr. Li is not at fault, but Liu Jin directly forced him to rebel.
The soldiers in the border town caused King Anhua to rebel. I sincerely request your majesty to put the people of the world first, kill Liu Jin and punish Chu Yi, so as to calm the hearts of the people of the world and show that your majesty is a virtuous king!"
Liu Jin's eyes almost bulged out with anger as he glared at Hu Ming and others. Damn it, didn't he just send people to collect taxes and clarify the interests of some people if the fields in the guard house were touched? This is all normal.
There is no way to govern the country. As for someone who looks like he dug up their ancestral graves and killed their parents, he insists on putting himself to death!
