Chapter 986 Imperial Power Supreme
The sky gradually dimmed, and there were still dozens of officials kneeling outside the Zuoshun gate of the Daming Palace.

Because a large number of officials have been arrested and imprisoned, the rest of them have relatively high official positions, and they are not interested in fighting at this time, but no one gives them a step down. on site.

The purpose of Fei Hong's visit was to persuade them to leave first, and the main targets were two people, one was Jia Yong and the other was He Mengchun.

At the same time, Zhu Hao returned to Sixian Residence, and met Zhu Si who was still watching a play here and had not returned to the palace.

"His Majesty."

Zhu Hao appeared beside Zhu Si.

At this time, Xi Shu and the others were no longer in the Sixian residence, and went back separately. Zhang Zuo, who accompanied Zhu Hao, described that the emperor planned to let this group of people present a memorial together in the future. Those who discuss it are classified as traitors.

Zhu Si glanced at Zhu Hao, and greeted with a smile: "Jingdao is back? Let's go to the theater together!"

Zhu Hao sat down on the seat next to him.

However, Gong Yeling was singing on the stage. After Gongyeling entered the palace, he hadn't appeared on the stage for a long time. Zhu Hao didn't expect that Zhu Si would bring Gongyeling out. This gave Zhu Hao a feeling... ...Zhu Si doesn't plan to go back to the palace these two days, probably because he wants to use Sixian's Residence as a temporary nest.

"Your Majesty, it's getting late, you won't be returning to the palace today, are you?" Zhu Hao asked.

Zhu Si stared at the stage intently. Gong Yeling was his dream lover, and now he is his woman. He is intoxicated in the happiness of that dream come true.

"I won't go back. I haven't reviewed the memorial with you for a long time. Today I plan to live here."

As Zhu Si said, he waved his hand and called Zhang Zuo over.

Zhang Zuo approached with a congratulatory face, and Zhu Si said: "Go and give them rewards, and prepare the memorials to be reviewed. Today I plan to sit at the table with Jing Dao, Mr. Tang, and you to discuss state affairs. Yes Liao Jingdao, have you eaten yet?"

"No." Zhu Hao replied.

Zhu Si thought for a while: "Forget it, I've already eaten the hot pot at noon, so I'll eat something casually in the evening. I'll have someone roast a lamb and send it over. I feel a little lacking in strength these two days."

Zhu Hao originally wanted to talk to Zhu Si directly about Zuoshunmen, but seeing Zhu Si's appearance, he didn't seem to have that kind of thought.

He will stop talking for now.

"My respect, are you done?"

Zhu Si suddenly remembered something and asked.

Zhu Hao said: "Everything that should be done has been done, and now Mr. Fei Ge has gone to Zuo Shun's gate to persuade the remaining officials to leave."

"That's how it should be!" Zhu Sidao said, "I just told Huang Jin to send someone to Beizhen Fusi to punish those who took the lead in making trouble today with a cane!"

Zhu Si was resolute, but he was a little embarrassed and said: "I didn't discuss this matter with you in advance, you don't think I've gone too far, do you?"

Zhu Hao said: "No."

That's what I said, but Zhu Hao felt that many things were really moving forward along the track of history.

He has tried his best to save those civil servants who are crying, so that the situation will not turn into a tragic and uncontrollable situation. Unfortunately, Zhu Si's attitude is too firm. Even if he does not discuss with him, he must first beat up those who participated in the trouble. If it was possible that there would be no bloody deaths before, it is basically impossible now.

Those civil servants are not beaten!

"Then I'll watch two more plays, don't say, I haven't watched them for a long time, and now I've seen them pretty good. The things on the stage... are just like the ones I watched when I was a child, making people addicted to it unconsciously!"

……

……

Zhu Si continued to reminisce about his childhood.

It was probably because of the events of the day that threatened Zhu Si's rule, made Zhu Si feel that he was out of tune with the ministers in the court, and Zhu Si felt self-threatening, so now he wants to find the former son of the Dangxing Palace. A carefree feeling.

Zhu Hao came down from the attic where he watched the play.

Zhang Zuo followed closely behind.

Zhang Zuo apologized: "I hope Mr. Zhu will forgive me for not informing Mr. Zhu about the execution of His Majesty's decree."

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Why? Sometimes, the necessary punishment is indispensable, otherwise it will not be enough to maintain His Majesty's majesty and stabilize the court."

"Mr. Zhu just don't mind." Zhang Zuo comforted him.

Although Zhang Zuo thinks that Zhu Si and Zhu Hao do not necessarily have to be consistent in everything, but Zhang Zuo is very aware of the significance of Zhu Hao's existence in the Ming Dynasty, so he cares about Zhu Hao's feelings very much, not just perfunctory, but sincere .

Perhaps Zhang Zuo was also afraid that Zhu Si would go too far and take a small, avoidable matter to the point of getting out of hand, which would really threaten Zhu Si's throne.

Zhang Zuo's previous words were also testing Zhu Hao to see if this incident really had extremely bad effects.

When Zhu Hao said it was all right, he felt relieved, because from his heart, Zhu Hao had a strong view of the overall situation, and no one in court could compare with him.

Zhang Zuo said: "Mr. Tang has gone to the inner hall first, there are some memorials over there, he said he needs to sort them out first."

"Oh."

Zhu Hao nodded.

Just as he was talking, Huang Jin appeared in front of him, walking in a hurry, as if he wanted to go upstairs to find Zhu Si to report back.

Zhang Zuo beckoned him to come forward and asked, "How's the matter?"

Zhang Zuo didn't shy away from Huang Jin telling Zhu Hao the matter in advance, which meant that Zhu Hao would analyze it first, and how to tell the emperor after some words came up.

When Huang Jin arrived at the two of them, he whispered, "Fei Zhongtang went out in person. After persuasion, the people in front of Zuo Shun's gate... have all dispersed!"

"call!"

Zhang Zuo heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, and said, "That's good."

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Zhu Hao, probably wanting to hear Zhu Hao's evaluation on this matter.

Zhu Hao has nothing to comment on.

The bad nature of the Zuoshunmen incident in history does not lie in what civil officials did in front of Zuoshunmen, but in the emperor's vicious revenge against these people.

It was within Zhu Hao's expectation that Fei Hong went to persuade the people to disperse, but Zhu Hao did not expect Zhu Si's retaliatory methods against the arrested people. Zhu Si may be out of fear, or out of hatred. It is impossible for these people to be merciful, probably because Zhu Si is afraid that someone will make a fuss about this matter in the future.

So I want to come to scare the chickens and monkeys.

"Go up and report to His Majesty." Zhang Zuo ordered.

As he said that, Zhang Zuo glanced at Zhu Hao intentionally or unintentionally, probably waiting for Zhu Hao to ask him about the execution situation in Beizhen Fusi, but Zhu Hao didn't ask.

In fact, there is no need to ask.

Since the emperor ordered the cane punishment, he would definitely not hold it lightly, Zhu Hao knew it was unnecessary to ask, why would he give the emperor the impression that he sympathized with civil servants?
……

……

Huang Jin went upstairs.

And Zhu Hao went to see Tang Yin with Zhang Zuo.

From this moment, Zhu Hao felt that there was a generation gap between himself and Zhu Si, which was the absolute power gap between the monarch and his ministers.

The key point in the Zuoshunmen case is Zhu Si's ferocity, and Zhu Si's use of this incident has completely established his majesty as an emperor. From then on, the Ming Dynasty has never had anything similar to uniting with Yang Tinghe and his successors. None of the civil servants around him could threaten Zhu Si's throne.

In other words, from this time on, Zhu Si has completed his consolidation of imperial power.

Seeing that it's time to cook rabbits and dogs.

Although Zhu Si didn't think about it for the time being, and even now he was watching the play while being frightened, but Zhu Hao knew that from now on, he and Zhu Si would never be able to discuss a matter with each other and communicate with each other as before. .

And he, Zhu Hao, was gradually becoming a thorn in the side of the emperor to maintain his imperial power.

This will be done subtly, not overnight.

Zhu Hao needs to think about his future, but it seems that he doesn't need to worry about it for the time being, at least he still has time to deal with it... Zhu Hao knows that he has to step up his plans.

"Mr. Tang."

Zhang Zuo entered the hall behind the meeting hall.

Tang Yin said that he was here to sort out the memorials, but in fact he was looking for an opportunity to avoid Zhu Si and hide in peace.

Tang Yin usually doesn't like reading very much, but now he is holding a book and reading there.

Zhu Hao walked over to take a look, but it was a very ordinary "Analects of Confucius", and seeing Tang Yin's dazed appearance when he entered the hall, this cheap teacher should be thinking about things with a book, and his mind is wandering.

"came back?"

Hearing this, Tang Yin put down the book, and then turned his gaze to Zhu Hao, "How's the situation in Beizhen Fusi?"

Tang Yin would not hide anything from Zhang Zuo, he really cared about how the emperor treated those civil servants of the Protectorate Sect, but he obviously asked the wrong person about this matter.

Not only did Zhu Hao not know what happened next, he even knew that Huang Jin knew the inside story, so he didn't ask.

Zhu Haodao: "I went to see Yang Yongxiu, he wrote a letter to Elder Fei Ge, and then I went to see Qiao Butang and Elder Fei Ge, Elder Fei Ge went to Zuoshunmen alone, and sent the remaining colleagues there They were all persuaded to return."

"Persuaded to return?"

Tang Yin was also very surprised.

Really so smooth?
So what role did Fei Hong play in this matter?
Those civil servants will accept his love?Wouldn't it be difficult for others to regard Fei Hong as a traitor to civil servants, and it would be difficult to lead civil servants from now on?
Zhu Hao nodded: "Yes. I don't know exactly what he said. His Majesty told me that he has sent people to Beizhen Fusi to impose punishment on those civil servants. It should be a stick punishment. I didn't ask for details."

Tang Yin frowned.

You didn't ask?
Does that mean you weren't involved?

Before Zhang Cong, Xi Shu and others, you showed that you were the most trusted ministers around the emperor, and when those people were beaten, what do you think Xi Shu and the others would think?
They will think that this is your instigation.

"Mr. Tang, Your Majesty is still watching the play. Our family is here to prepare the memorials as ordered. Your Majesty will come over later to review the memorials together."

Zhang Zuo reminded with a smile.

Zhang Zuo listened to the conversation between Zhu Hao and Tang Yin, but turned a deaf ear.

Zhang Zuo disdained to sow dissension.

Tang Yin said: "Will His Majesty come over tonight?"

"This……"

Zhang Zuo was embarrassed.

Even if you, Tang Bohu, think that His Majesty is just talking and thinking that His Majesty may be addicted to pleasure, you can't say that, right?
Zhu Hao sighed: "Regardless of whether we come or not, we should hurry up and finish the matter at hand. Only when the affairs of the court are progressing steadily and there are no disturbances, what happened outside Zuo Shun's gate will have the least impact on the court." lowest point!"
