When he heard that Chu Yi had killed people, Zhu Houzhao subconsciously thought that someone had collided with Chu Yi, so he was killed by Chu Yi out of anger. However, according to Liu Jin, Chu Yi clearly killed people to protect his dignity as the emperor. Almost instantly, Zhu Houzhao was in a state of mind.
Then he stood on Chu Yi's side.
This is the advantage of being preempted. The reason why Jiao Fang asked Liu Jin to rush over immediately and inform Zhu Houzhao of the Songyang murder case before Li Dongyang and others was to seize this preemptive advantage.
It's not that the civil and military officials don't know the advantages of prioritization, but it's a pity that the officials themselves are not of the same mind. The Xungui Group has long lost its power and has become almost a decoration in the court. Naturally, it has no interest in getting involved in the relationship between civil servants and eunuchs.
In the middle of the battle.
Besides, there are also factions within the civil servants. When the internal opinions were unified, Liu Jin had already met with Zhu Houzhao first.
Liu Jin and others had served Zhu Houzhao for more than ten years, and they knew the master's temperament very well. Just seeing Zhu Houzhao's gloomy expression at this moment, Liu Jin knew that he could sit back and relax this time.
Putting aside her worries, Liu Jin was actually looking forward to the arrival of Li Dongyang and others.
At a glance, Li Dongyang and more than a dozen important ministers of the court were approaching. They all had gloomy faces, and they looked like they were asking for punishment. Liu Jin lowered his head slightly, with a smile on his face.
Showing a sinister smile.
"My ministers Li Dongyang, Fei Hong, Liu Zhong, and Yang Tinghe pay their respects to Your Majesty!"
More than a dozen cabinet academicians saluted Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao glanced at the crowd lightly, turned around and sat on his seat, and then said: "My beloved ministers are so mobilized, where is the disaster, or is it?
Where are the rebels?"
How could Li Dongyang and others not hear the sarcasm in Zhu Houzhao's words? As the chief minister of the cabinet, Li Dongyang himself was not strong, so he was selected by Zhu Houzhao as the chief minister of the cabinet.
However, it was precisely because Li Dongyang was not strong enough in politics that he was accepted by the emperor, Liu Jin, and the civil and military parties in the DPRK and China. To be precise, Li Dongyang was a chief minister with no political stance.
Liu Jian was no less capable than Xie Qian at the same time, but not as capable as Zhengde, precisely because they were unable to balance the forces between the DPRK and China.
This time, Li Dongyang was forced by the world's literati to lead more than a dozen cabinet bachelors into the Leopard Room. The purpose was to force Zhu Houzhao to issue an order to capture Chu Yi, and also to take down Liu Jin, who was on top of them.
.
Seeing that Li Dongyang was hesitant to speak, Zhu Houzhao understood his temperament quite well, and his eyes fell on Li Dongyang and said: "Mr. Li Ge, tell me, why did you come here with so many troops and people?"
Being stared at by Zhu Houzhao's half-smiling gaze, Li Dongyang glanced at the dozen colleagues behind him who were full of expectancy, sighed in his heart and slowly said: "Your Majesty, I am impeaching Liu Jinshu, the director of the Department of Ceremonies.
The supervision led to Chu Yi, the admiral of Dongchang, killing innocent people indiscriminately in Songyang Academy, a holy place for scholars. He killed Chen Qi, the judge of Songyang Academy, and more than ten students. Scholars all over the world were in an uproar, and the people were in an uproar..."
"I ask your majesty to kill Chu Yi and get rid of Liu Jin, so as to calm the hearts of our scholars and calm the anger of the people..."
More than a dozen academicians knelt down on the ground, looking at each other with relief, and just stared at Zhu Houzhao and said in a deep voice.
Liu Jin's eyes narrowed, and she looked at the people kneeling on the ground as if they were looking at the enemy who killed her father. She clenched her fists angrily, wishing she could go forward and kick these people to death one by one.
At the same time, Liu Jin was secretly glad that he had come to meet Zhu Houzhao first. Otherwise, if these people made such a fuss, he would not be easy off even if he was not dismissed from office.
Damn, our family has provoked you, why do you always have trouble with our family?
However, what Liu Jin was thinking in her heart was not revealed at all. She knelt down and cried to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, this slave has been wronged. They are framed, framed!"
What Zhu Houzhao hates most is that these ministers always use the banner of the people of the world to suppress him. It seems that if he, the emperor, does not act according to the words of these ministers, he will not be able to live up to the people of the world and his ancestors.
, let alone these ministers.
A contemptuous smile flowed from the corner of Zhu Houzhao's mouth, and Zhu Houzhao said: "Gu Dayong, I just ordered you to get the reports from Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Neixingchang and your West Factory about the Songyang murder case. You
Is it available?"
Gu Dayong immediately stepped forward and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, I have ordered someone to fetch it. Your Majesty can check it at any time."
As Gu Dayong waved, he saw a young eunuch holding a tray with several confidential letters on it.
Gu Dayong presented the secret letter to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, please read it!"
Zhu Houzhao first opened the report from the West Factory and scanned it ten lines at a time. Then he took the secret letters from the Jinyiwei, the Expert Factory, and the East Factory and read through them.
I saw Zhu Houzhao fluttering a few secret letters and saying in front of a group of academicians who were kneeling on the ground, looking like they were forcing the emperor into the palace: "You are all my followers and the pillars of my Ming Dynasty, but it is a pity that you have been deceived by the people below.
It’s over!”
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao took the tea from Zhang Yong and said calmly: "Take a good look at what poems and books the judge of Songyang Academy Chen Qi and more than ten students read and what etiquette they learned. This is how Sage Kong taught them.
Do they still have me as the emperor in their eyes? They ignore the imperial envoy and attack the imperial envoy's support. What do they want to do, rebel?"
With a bang, Zhu Houzhao had a chill on his face, and the white jade-like teacup in his hand was smashed to pieces. The tea splashed all over several bachelors, but no one dared to move.
Zhu Houzhao was angry. He knew that the power of these courtiers was very difficult to control, so he pushed Liu Jin to fight against these people, and he even moved to this leopard room. However, he did not expect that these literati would be so rampant.
Is there any twists and turns in it? Zhu Houzhao didn't want to take care of it, and he didn't want to take care of it. He only saw the prestigious academy, which was famous all over the world. From the judgment of the academy, hundreds of students dared to block the imperial envoy and attack the imperial envoy's guard of honor.
Does this mean that one day, even if you are the emperor, these people will still dare to attack your honor guard?
Since this kind of thing can happen to Chu Yi, it might not happen to him.
Zhu Houzhao, who had never been so angry since he came to the throne, was really angry this time.
That's all. Even if these people are fighting for power and gain, he can turn a blind eye, but these people should not touch his bottom line - the majesty of the emperor cannot be violated.
Zhu Houzhao knew very well that the foundation of his foothold was that the majesty of the emperor was inviolable. Once he let this hole go, there was no guarantee that one day he would collapse for no reason. Who would the seat under this butt be given to by these people?
?
Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and others obviously did not expect that the Songyang murder case would make Zhu Houzhao think so much and even get so angry.
One by one, the bachelors looked at Zhu Houzhao's still childish face, filled with endless anger, and couldn't help but feel a little confused. The script was wrong. Shouldn't the emperor have been forced by them to honestly issue an order to capture Chu Yi and Liu Jin to investigate?
?
