Seeing this, he couldn't help but sneer with a bit of disdain: "What a waste! How dare you roar in the court and be rude to your Majesty!"
Sitting on the ground, Wang Yan's face turned red and white. He was out of breath and almost fainted from anger. With the help of his companions, he struggled to get up, spittle flew everywhere, and when he pulled his sleeves, he was angry at Han Kun.
He scolded: "What a rude common man! I am a veteran of three dynasties. How dare you bully me like this!"
At the same time, more than a dozen other veterans also gathered around, pulling Han Kun's sleeves one by one, and all yelled at Han Kun.
Han Kun was surrounded by these old ministers. It was neither beating nor pushing. If a few of these old guys were killed on the spot, Han Kun would definitely not waste his efforts, but he did not dare.
The reason why these old guys can still stay in this court without being cleared out is because these old guys themselves have nothing serious to do. In addition, they are all veterans. There are really not many people who are willing to do it without provoking them.
provoke.
After all, there is no shortage of such officials in the court, but it is a pity that these old stubborns have obviously used their power in the wrong place.
If these people use their energy to impeach officials who have failed in their duties and to find and fill vacancies for the court, it will be of great benefit to the country and the people.
"How dignified it is, how dignified it is!"
Looking at the mess below, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help clenching his fists angrily, wishing he could immediately send an order to drag these old guys out and chop off their heads.
But reason told Zhu Houzhao that he could not do this. Otherwise, there would be no reason to behead more than a dozen respected veterans at once. I wonder how this would be recorded in the history books of future generations.
I have to say that the fighting power of these dozen veterans is really very strong. Although Han Kun, who could not fight back, said that he was not injured at the moment, he was in an extremely embarrassed state. Even his court uniform was torn into cloth.
strip.
Wang Yan and others, who were normally suppressed by Jiao Fang, Chu Yi, and Gu Dayong, suddenly realized that without Jiao Fang, Chu Yi, Gu Dayong, and the like, this feeling
It's really great.
The emperor had nothing to do with them. Suddenly, Wang An and others became more and more excited.
Seeing the chaos in the court, either the emperor was ruthless and dragged Wang An and others down to restore order, or he simply retreated from the court.
Seeing this scene, Zhu Houzhao subconsciously thought of Chu Yi. If Chu Yi were here, he would never allow these officials to roar at the court and be rude to the emperor.
"If my companion is here, I don't know how I will deal with it!"
Thinking of Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao looked at Wang Yan and others with a cold look. Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao suddenly threw down a memorial in his hand, slapped the armrest and shouted: "Yu Lin
Where are the guards!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a group of armored guards were seen outside the court hall and rushed into the hall with great momentum, and fell down suddenly.
All the officials were restrained. Even Wang Yan and the dozen or so veterans who were surrounding Han Kun looked at the Yulin guards who prostrated themselves on the ground in astonishment, and finally looked at the emperor.
Zhu Houzhao stood there with a calm expression, and an invisible imperial majesty was revealed, which actually made Wang Yan and others feel a little afraid to look directly.
An old minister said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty..."
Before the veteran minister could speak, Zhu Houzhao said coldly: "Wang Yan and others roared at the court, were rude to the emperor, and besieged the nobles of the court, regardless of their superiority or inferiority. They have lost the face of the court and have been removed from their official positions.
Demoted to common people and never used again..."
"Ah, Your Majesty..."
"Your Majesty, you are confused!"
After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Wang Yan and others were immediately anxious. What did the emperor mean by this? Was he going to terminate their official status?
They have struggled all their lives, and have endured such a long period of hard work until now. This is not about studying to repay the world, or to secure the country. They have a big family behind them, and they don't know that the people of the tribe rely on their names to make a living.
As long as they are still sitting in their current positions, even if their official positions do not have much real power, they are noble positions that are enough to protect the prosperity of the families behind them.
The most important thing in the officialdom is to let people go. If they no longer have official positions, it is conceivable that those people who usually treat their families with courtesy will definitely become different.
Therefore, even at a young age, there is still no intention of retiring, returning home, and enjoying one's old age in peace.
At this moment, the emperor immediately dismissed them from their official positions for being disrespectful. How could they not be in an uproar?
Heartache, dissatisfaction, and all kinds of thoughts flashed through my heart.
Zhu Houzhao didn't care about the crying and fussing of these officials at all, and looked at the Yulin guards.
Noticing Zhu Houzhao's expression, he saw that the Yulin guards were like tigers, one by one, pounced on the unruly officials. Two of them held each other up, just like driving chickens, and in the blink of an eye, Wang Yan and other officials were killed.
He was dragged out.
The shouts of those officials were still echoing in the hall. The other officials all looked shocked, obviously they did not expect that the emperor would be so decisive.
Zhu Houzhao had a generous heart, and with such an emperor on his side, at least the civil and military officials did not have to worry about being dragged out and beheaded by the emperor for no reason, nor did they have to worry about being punished by the emperor for being impolite.
On weekdays, it was not obvious. Everyone just thought that the emperor had a good temperament, so naturally they had less respect for the emperor.
This can be seen from the attitude of Wang Yan and others who were rude to the emperor when Jiao Fang was lost in the court today, Gu Dayong immediately dared to roar at the court despite his suppression.
However, Zhu Houzhao finally became angry and made Wang Yan and more than a dozen officials lose their official positions.
Although these officials do not have any real power in their hands, these people can be regarded as noble officials, almost all officials of fourth grade or above. If it is placed in the local area, if such a tribesman is an official in the court,
Even the local magistrate would look at him with high regard.
Everyone was suppressed by the emperor, including a dozen veteran ministers. The emperor dismissed his official position immediately, and for a while, there was silence in the court.
Han Kun, who was all disheveled and looking extremely embarrassed, couldn't help but smile and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise!"
After glancing at Han Kun, Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, then flicked his sleeves, turned and sat down, and glanced at the officials.
Almost no officials dared to look at the emperor, and Zhu Houzhao felt a little excited in his heart. This feeling of intimidating all the civil and military officials by himself was so satisfying.
Exhaling a breath of turbid air, Zhu Houzhao stabilized his mind and said in a deep voice: "Wang Shouren!"
"I'm here!"
When Wang Shouren heard the emperor calling his name, he immediately stepped forward.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Wang Shouren and said slowly: "I order you to lead an army of 50,000 people out of the pass and completely wipe out the three guards of Jianzhou. I want no Jurchens to trouble our Ming Dynasty again."
After hearing this, many officials couldn't help but change their expressions, and an evil spirit came towards them. Zhu Houzhao followed this imperial edict. I don't know how many officials in the court could imagine that it won't be long before the land of Jianzhou Three Guards is the only one.
I'm afraid there will be heads rolling in and blood flowing like rivers.
The Three Guards of Jianzhou had always rebelled frequently. Although the imperial court repeatedly suppressed them, they did not take them seriously. After all, the imperial court's energy was focused on the northern Tatars.
Now that the Tatars have been defeated in one battle, I am afraid that they will not be able to make any waves for decades or hundreds of years. Even the Tatars have been crushed, and the imperial court naturally does not take it to heart if they only build three states.
This time Zhu Houzhao's decree was doomed to disaster for the Jurchens in the three guards of Jianzhou.
Wang Shouren said in a deep voice: "I accept the decree!"
Zhu Houzhao had never worried about Wang Shouren's ability. He was able to force King Ning to jump and scold him, and directly pacified the southern land. Wang Shouren could be said to be a talented general and prime minister.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were full of talents, and there were not many candidates who could lead the troops to quell the unrest. However, Zhu Houzhao chose Wang Shouren, which shows that Zhu Houzhao relied heavily on Wang Shouren.
After dealing with the matter of the Three Guards of Jianzhou, Zhu Houzhao then vigorously and resolutely made decisions on the backlogged matters and handed them over to the Sixth Department for processing. In just half a day, all the government affairs that had been backlogged for several days were cleared up.
Time is like running water, and months have passed by in a flash.
Ever since Zhu Houzhao dismissed more than a dozen veterans in anger and showed his decisive side, when all the civil and military officials in the court looked at Zhu Houzhao, their eyes naturally showed a bit of awe.
On this day, as soon as Chu Yi came out of the prince Zhu Zaiji's place, a chamberlain came up to him and saluted Chu Yi: "Your Majesty, King Wu, your Majesty invites you!"
Chu Yi nodded slightly. When he saw Zhu Houzhao, he was sitting there for the rare occasion. There were several dishes placed in front of him, and he was drinking wine gloomily.
When he saw Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao said to Chu Yi: "My dear companion, drink with me!"
Chu Yi stepped forward and poured wine for Zhu Houzhao first. Without saying anything, he drank one cup after another, quietly drinking with Zhu Houzhao.
After almost a few glasses of wine, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but blush on his face. He was a bit drunk, and then he stopped. Zhu Houzhao looked at Chu Yi and said with a bit of sadness in his eyes: "That's it.
Not long ago, after a joint review by the three departments, the results of Gu Dayong’s handling have come out.”
Chu Yi looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "I guess your Majesty hasn't used the seal yet!"
Once the emperor uses the seal, it means that Gu Dayong's case has gone through all the procedures. At that time, even the emperor will not be able to change his mind.
Just when Zhu Houzhao opened his mouth and was about to speak, he saw a figure coming in a hurry. The movement was not small, which immediately attracted the attention of Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao. They both looked at each other and saw Qian Ning, the commander of Jin Yiwei, coming in a hurry.
When he saw Chu Yi, his eyes shrank, and with a pop, he knelt down in front of Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi, and kept kowtowing: "I am guilty, I am guilty..."
