Chapter 589
Although shocked by Chongzhen's decision, none of them, including the chief minister of the cabinet Li Banghua, dared to express their opposition in court.

Who is so tired of life and dares to find fault at this time. Although Chongzhen has not been in court for a long time, perhaps because of the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, the current courtiers are even more in awe of him.

Only the old god Liu Hongjian was there, and he said in his heart that if he could hide from the first day of the junior high school, he would not be able to hide from the fifteenth day of the junior high school. This time, he might be on the opposite side of all the courtiers.

Alas, there are too many lice and it doesn't itch, so let him go!

Seeing that the courtiers had no objections, Chongzhen left the hall with a raised beard on the corner of his mouth.

"Congratulations, my lord, for ascending to the high position!" Fan Jingwen, the second assistant, cupped his hands at Liu Hongjian with a half-smile.

"Well, you may not believe it when you say it, but I don't want to." Liu Hongjian sighed.

"Hehe, I hope the prince will do his best to benefit the imperial court, and leave!" Fan Jingwen couldn't believe it, so he cupped his hands and left on his own.

This is the way of the world, even if you serve the country with every fist, this position is always too sensitive, no one wants to have two butcher knives hanging on their heads, one is enough for them to feel uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry about it. Mengzhang is just annoyed for a while. We are all living and working for the people, so we can't stick to the old rules." Chief Assistant Li Banghua was very angry.

He is not a pedantic person, and he knows why Fan Jingwen is dissatisfied, but he still believes that Liu Hongjian, the king of Anguo County, has no covetous intentions for Daming, and in terms of ability, he himself is ashamed.

It's just that the other courtiers were different. Except for Han Yu, Minister of Rites who stood firmly behind Liu Hongjian, the others looked at Liu Hongjian differently.

Liu Hongjian didn't care about these cats and dogs. He always kept these old men at arm's length. If you don't mess with them, everyone will live in peace and find fault. Come and try?

After exchanging pleasantries with several cabinet ministers, Liu Hongjian left the Huangji Hall.

A country cannot be without a king for a day, so hurry up, and the court held Zhu Cihong's enthronement ceremony the next day.

On the day of the grand ceremony, the young Zhu Cihong wore the five-clawed golden dragon imperial robe and led a group of courtiers to pray to heaven and earth, and Liu Hongjian couldn't help but follow along.

After making a large circle in the capital and paying homage to the worshiper, Zhu Cihong brought the courtiers back to the Huangji Hall again.

Zhu Cihong was young and vigorous, and he had no experience in becoming the throne for the first time, so he was full of enthusiasm in everything he did, and he always sat on the imperial chariot wherever he went.

This caused a lot of old men behind him, including Liu Hongjian who led the troops to fight all day, they felt that their feet were no longer their own.

Then Wang Erxi read Zhu Cihong's succession edict, amnesty to the world.

Now Liu Hongjian really hated the damn ritual system, but Zhu Cihong still had no intention of retiring from the court.

"My lord, read out the second imperial decree!" Zhu Cihong said kindly to Wang Erxi, the supervisor of ceremonies.

Chongzhen always called Wang Erxi by his first name, but Zhu Cihong probably didn't quite adapt to the change of status, so he called him a half-respectful name.

"Promise!" Wang Erxi didn't dare to neglect, after saluting, he took the second imperial edict from the imperial case.

"Imperial decree, Prince of Anguo County Liu Hongjian, Minister of the East Palace Cheng Zhi, Zhang Tianlu, and Chen Tai should accept the decree!" Wang Erxi spread out the imperial decree and glanced at Liu Hongjian.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, Zhiyue.

Liu Hongjian, the king of Anguo County, expelled the Tartars, fought outside and settled inside. He was an inexhaustible talent of the Ming Dynasty.

Cheng Zhi, Zhang Tianlu, and Chen Taiying, the servants of the East Palace, were well-read and knowledgeable, and had the ability to govern the country. They ordered Cheng Zhi to be the left servant of the Ministry of Rites, Zhang Tianlu to the right servant of the Ministry of Officials, and Chen Taiying to be the right deputy capital censor of the Inspectorate.

Wang Er and others will do their best to contribute to the great Ming Zhongxing ambition.

Appreciate this! "

After the imperial decree was read out, the courtiers were almost depressed to death, Chongzhen's earth-shattering imperial decree yesterday hadn't allowed them to come out, and today Zhu Cihong made such an announcement again.

Liu Hongjian's Jin Taishi is nothing but an empty title after all, and the Grand Marshal of the World's Army and Horses had already been awarded in the Chongzhen Dynasty.

Zhu Cihong's behavior is tantamount to explaining to Liu Hongjian that he trusts him as much as his father, and hopes that Liu Hongjian can also assist him and assist Daming just as he helped his father.

There is nothing wrong with these, the courtiers have long been used to the imperial court rewarding Liu Hongjian, and the same applies to these courtiers if there are too many lice and it doesn't itch.

But what are Cheng Zhi, Zhang Tianlu, and Chen Taiying? It's simply ridiculous how a small Donggong servant can be directly promoted to a servant.

However, all high officials of the third rank and above in the imperial court can be selected after the consultation and recommendation of the cabinet. Even the current emperor cannot directly identify someone. This is the rule.

Not to mention the three little East Palace servants.

It's just that the courtiers, including the cabinet members, are depressed here.

The new emperor has just ascended the throne, who dares to be the first to jump out and fight against the dragon's beard?
The new official took office with three fires. Zhu Cihong had just ascended to the position full of ambition and enthusiasm, and the first imperial edict he issued was rejected. Where can I put this face?

Second assistant Fan Jingwen glanced at Li Banghua, and Li Banghua turned his head to look at Fan Jingwen as if he had eyes in his ears.

Fan Jingwen's eyes seemed to say to Li Banghua, Li Mengan, this matter is not in accordance with the rules of etiquette, you are the chief assistant, you should take the lead in this matter.

Li Banghua shook his beard and shook his head slightly. He thought to himself, let's forget it. Even if Zhu Cihong is forced to take back his order at this stall, they will probably be hated by the new emperor.

Why bother?
Since ancient times, there have been emperors and courtiers in one dynasty. The reason why the new emperor did not move these old and immortal seats was probably because Emperor Chongzhen had not passed away.

Alas, it's hard to be an official, and shit is hard to eat. More than one of the ministers in the palace thinks so.

"My dear ones, if you have nothing else to do, let's go back to the yamen to handle government affairs! Retire from the court!" Zhu Cihong got up from the dragon chair and said.

After a whole day of tossing, even a young man like Zhu Cihong felt very tired.

Liu Hongjian, the protagonist of the imperial decree, heard the word "retire from court", as if he had received an amnesty, he was worried about his feet and wanted to get out of the way.

"Liu Aiqing stay here, please come to Qianqing Palace to talk later." Zhu Cihong seemed to have remembered something, and retreated to call Liu Hongjian again.

On my day, before Liu Hongjian stepped out of the entrance of the hall, he braked suddenly and his legs gave way, almost falling down.

After Zhu Cihong finished speaking, he left on his own, and Li Banghua and others immediately surrounded him.

"My lord, be careful, the stone sill is a bit high." Fang Yuegong, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, stepped forward to support Liu Hongjian's right arm and said.

"Yes, my lord, I'm going to meet the sage, and I hope that the lord can persuade the sage, and the selection of talents should pass the examination, and one person's selfishness should not be ignored by the world. This is not what a wise king does."

As expected, Li Banghua spoke bluntly, and expressed his feelings directly after taking over the quarrel.

This guy will definitely be a straight man of steel in future generations, or a titanium alloy.

"Well, I know, everyone, go back to the yamen first, I'm here to see the Holy Majesty." Liu Hongjian calmed his mind and said, asking Lao Tzu to persuade him, why didn't you just say it?

But he didn't care about it, he was in his position, seeking his own government, and after exchanging a few pleasantries, Liu Hongjian left the Huangji Palace, thinking about going to the Qianqing Palace later.
