Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 160 Do you really think we dare not kill people?
Emperor Jiajing is going to hold a court meeting.

This is the most important event since the beginning of the world.

When the news came out, it caused a sensation in the official circles of the entire Beijing city in an instant.

After all, the emperor has not been to court for nearly 30 years, and many scholars in the court have never even seen what the emperor looks like.

This time I finally opened my eyes.

In the early morning of the next day, a large number of officials in red court uniforms began to gather outside the Huangji Gate.

These people were all high-ranking officials of the third grade or above in the Ming court. The red and purple nobles, who were rarely seen in the past, were all present this time, and no one dared to be absent.

The news of Zhu Yuanzhang's meeting with Xu Jie and Yan Song yesterday had spread throughout most of Beijing through the mouths of various spies.

Everyone knows that the current Holy Majesty's temperament has completely changed last night. At this time, no one dares to touch the Emperor's bad luck.

Don't look at the emergence of Confucianism and Taoism talents to allow great Confucians to master extraordinary power, but this extraordinary system is too special and is extremely restricted by imperial power.

If it is an emperor who does not act, it is possible to be controlled by the ministers in the court, but Emperor Jiajing is not easy to deal with.

This emperor is extremely smart, he is proficient in controlling and playing with checks and balances, and he is the best at leveraging his strengths. No one knows what kind of moth he is going to do with his sudden temperament change.

"Could it be that there is no money, and this method is used to force the courtiers to donate?" Some honorable ministers have already begun to have various guesses in their hearts.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't let them wait too long, and soon boarded the throne surrounded by two eunuchs and a group of Jin Yiwei.

Those Jinyi guards who came in with Zhu Yuanzhang fought openly, and their bodies were full of evil spirits. It was obvious at a glance that they had been on the battlefield.

"Hey!" Lan Yu and Mu Ying were dressed in brocade robes and stood under the main hall, facing the eyes of these ministers, without the slightest timidity.

"It's a fresh face..." Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng peeked at the Jinyi guards, and glanced at each other without any trace, and they both smelled an unusual atmosphere from these Jin Yiweis.

"Don't be in a hurry to get ahead today, just wait and see what happens!" Xu Jie's voice sounded in Gao Gong's mind next to him.

"Hmph!" Gao Gong glanced at Xu Jie and smiled disdainfully.

"What are you afraid of, you are alone!" He flicked his sleeves and walked into the hall first.

Xu Jie sighed inwardly, and also followed Gao Gong into the Huangji Hall.

The entire Huangji Hall is very large, and more than 600 officials above the sixth grade in Beijing can completely stand there.

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" The courtiers began to pay respects to Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Forget it!"

"There are a lot of things to do today, and the time is tight. We don't like to do those fake things!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the ministers below, and said with a smile: "We have received nearly [-] memorials in the past three days, including those from the adults in Beijing and foreign officials."

"We really didn't expect that [-]% of these memorials were for Yan Song and Yan Shifan."

"Hi everybody!"

"You really opened our eyes!" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and sighed.

Yan Maoqing at the bottom couldn't help but smile when he heard the words, this big move was his handwriting, he just wanted to let the current emperor take a look at the current status of Ge Lao and Xiao Ge Lao in the official circles of Ming Dynasty. Let the sage understand that the current Ming Dynasty can lack anyone, but it cannot lack Ge Lao and Xiao Ge Lao.

Soon Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded again from above.

"It's not interesting for us to see it alone in Xiyuan. After thinking about it, we simply summoned all of you today, and we reviewed these memorials here."

"It's not only an explanation for you all, but also a final verdict for Mr. Yan Songyan, and the little elder you are talking about."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at everyone with cold eyes, glanced at Emperor Jiajing next to him and said in a deep voice: "Give us a memorial and a memorial in the order they were presented."

"Yes!" Emperor Jiajing also became a little excited.

He has also played this kind of drama where the emperor and the ministers confronted each other in court. Back then, he fought against more than 100 ministers in court in order to fight for his father.

At that time, he was young and energetic, and he had a bit of a deadly posture. If he was asked to do it again now, he would definitely not be able to do it.

I don't feel that angry anymore.

But now Emperor Taizu wants to do this, and I am afraid that what he did will be more ruthless than he did back then. To be honest, he is a little nervous, but he is more looking forward to it.

After all, they are beating these ministers, who wouldn't want to!
"Shen Mao, the official secretary of the Ministry of household affairs, said: the world is so big, and the people of the people, the scholars and the people, speak out with all their strength, and there are countless people who come together..." Emperor Jiajing began to read this Shen Mao aloud in the hall. memorial.

Hundreds of officials in the entire hall listened so quietly, a little confused, so I don't know what the Holy One meant.

Soon after reading the memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang looked around at the ministers below and said, "Who is Shen Mao, come out and answer!"

"My minister is here!" A middle-aged official in his 40s came out and knelt down to salute.

"Let me ask you, what do you mean by this memorial?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Old Yange and Elder Xiaoge are loyal and loyal to the country. They work hard for the government every day. Now they are framed by treacherous ministers. The humble ministers are just speaking out of justice." Shen Mao said neither humble nor overbearing.

Yan Maoqing looked at Shen Mao who was playing against Zhu Yuanzhang, and a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes.

This person is a diehard loyalist of the strict party, and he is one of the deadly admonishers he arranged this time, otherwise he would not be the first to write a letter. I didn't expect it to be a coincidence that Zhu Yuanzhang was the first to call out to play in the hall right.

Things have been easier since then.

No matter what kind of medicine the Emperor Jiajing sells in his gourd, with this Shen Mao, there is no possibility of success.

"If you want to blame it, you can blame the bad luck of the Holy One for choosing such a ruthless character!" Yan Maoqing thought so.

"You said there are treacherous ministers in the court, who are those traitors? Can you point them out to us?" Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes and said.

"I don't know, but I ask for an order to investigate, and I will find out once I investigate." Shen Mao said.

"You are a doctor of the Ministry of Household Cleaning Department, tell us, what is your authority?"

"Why do you, a small household doctor, come to investigate a major case in the imperial court?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.

"Although I am a doctor of the household department, I also have a passion for it, and I am willing to shed my blood for the court." Shen Mao said passionately.

"Do you have evidence?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

"My minister speaks out of righteousness, no evidence is needed!" Shen Mao continued to answer.

He was already crazy with excitement at the moment.

This is a confrontation with the emperor in court, and it is a debate and confrontation that is not afraid of imperial power.

After today, no matter what the result is, his name will be recorded in the annals of history as a symbolic figure in the fight against imperial power.

As long as he doesn't die, it will only take a few years, and when the limelight passes, what awaits him is a smooth rise to the top.

One of the most important reasons why Emperor Jiajing refused to go to court for 30 years is that there are too many people who want to touch him in order to gain Confucianism.

"Hehe, there is no evidence, and you don't know who the treacherous officials are, so you just report directly, and you have to take care of things outside the scope of your responsibility as a household doctor. Are you entertaining us?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the fifth-rank official with cold eyes, and suddenly shouted: "Chen Hong, according to our Great Ming law, what should such a person be like?"

"Kill!" Beside Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Hong, the chief eunuch of the Licensing Supervisor, squinted his eyes slightly and said loudly.

"Then what are you waiting for, such a slanderer and rumor-monger, should you keep him for the New Year?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Shen Mao's face suddenly changed when he heard this.

Apparently, the emperor he stood on today felt a little uncomfortable, and even said the words of beheading in court.

But he didn't panic at all.

Because he knows that he is just a pioneer in his early years, and the real good show is yet to come!
The emperor said that if he wants to kill, he will kill, so what's the use of all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty?
"Your Majesty, no!"

"Although Shen Mao made offensive words, he spoke out of righteousness, and he can be punished with a small punishment. If he is killed, the hearts of scholars in the world will be chilled!" Lu Yi, the left servant of the official department in the hall, came out to Chen Zou.

And his actions seemed to be the clarion call to charge.

Soon more than 60 people came out at the same time, kneeling down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang in unison.

"Your Majesty, please take it back..."

Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng and the others watched these strict parties confront His Majesty head-on with cold eyes, and their eyes could not help flickering again and again.

Such a situation in which His Majesty will go down in person and directly confront the Yan Party is something they could never have imagined before they came to court.

Is this still the Emperor Jiajing who lived in seclusion behind the scenes and commanded the Ming Dynasty by remote control for 30 years?
Zhu Yuanzhang was also watching this scene coldly. His voice did not have the slightest emotional fluctuation, and he said slowly: "Don't mess with us, we act in accordance with the law of the Ming Dynasty!"

"how?"

"You group of people keep saying that you want to protect the ancestral system, but today you are even going to be excused from the crimes of defamation and rumors clearly recorded in the Daming law?"

"Is this the palace to force us?"

"I'll give you a chance to stand back immediately. Let's just pretend that nothing happened, otherwise we will be punished with the same crime as Shen Mao." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I'm risking my life to admonish you for the sake of the culture and spirit of the Ming Dynasty. I implore Your Majesty to take it back!" Lu Yi's face was heavy, as if he was really a loyal minister who considered for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.

The hall was quiet, and none of the more than 60 people got up.

For them, if they dare to listen to Zhu Yuanzhang's words at this time, they are afraid of imperial power, and their official career will be completely cut off in the future.

Don't get up, if you can really persuade the emperor to withdraw his order, then you will be a deadly adviser.

This is the immortal golden body in the officialdom in the future.

Anyway, Emperor Jiajing in front of him didn't dare to really kill them all.

If they died, half of the people in charge of the six departments would go directly. No emperor would dare to massacre ministers in such a frenzied way.

But it is a pity that they forgot the history of Ming Dynasty, or they were selectively frustrated and forgot the history of Hongwu Dynasty.

In the original history, with the help of the four major Hongwu cases, Zhu Yuanzhang almost emptied the entire officialdom.

In this world, there is no one he dare not kill, no one he cannot kill.
