Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 3 Let's listen to the dragon
"Does the Qing family want to force the palace?" Zhu Youxiao's stern eyes fell on Zhang Wenda, his voice was not loud, but it was enough for the court officials to hear clearly.

"The minister never thought of forcing the palace."

Zhang Wenda's complexion changed slightly, and he knelt down on the ground, holding the imperial wat, and kowtowed to Zhu Youxiao, "The words I remonstrate with are all for the sake of the safety of the country. I am the censor of Zuodu, and I am admonishing your majesty." , is the duty of a minister..."

As one of the Gu Mings chosen by Emperor Taichang before his death, Zhang Wenda's status in the new dynasty was not low. Gu Ming was originally an assistant minister who assisted the new monarch in governing the world and was familiar with government affairs.

However, in Zhu Youxiao's eyes, affected by the party disputes between the Wanli and Taichang dynasties, the ministers of the new dynasty didn't even think about assisting wholeheartedly. It involved their own interests and the interests of the party they belonged to. Make a corresponding choice.

"Enough!! I don't want to hear this."

Zhu Youxiao's eyes were sharp and he shouted coldly: "God forbid Huang Ming, my emperor's grandfather and Huang Kao passed away one after another and left me far away. I assumed the throne of emperor according to Huang Kao's posthumous decree. How could I be in Qianqing Palace to commemorate my emperor's grandfather, Huang Kao and Huang Kao?" Will the imperial examination, delaying the morning court time, cause turmoil in the country, dynasty, and society?

Is Huangming Sheji so fragile?

The Qing family said that I should be a role model for the world, so can I understand that instead of thinking about the emperor's grandfather and Huang Kao, I just want to be a cold-blooded and ruthless emperor? ! "

"I dare not!"

Zhang Wenda was startled, and hurriedly kowtowed in response.

The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and even the emperor, who is high above the sky, dares to have any problems in the aspect of "filial piety", he will be criticized and criticized by the world.

Zhang Wenda used the patriarchal etiquette as an excuse. On the surface, he was doing his duty as a minister, but in fact he secretly accused Zhu Youxiao of violating the patriarchal etiquette openly.

Zhu Youxiao didn't know what Zhang Wenda was thinking. Since Zhang Wenda had already made an attack, he, the emperor, would fight back in the name of filial piety and force Zhang Wenda into a corner!

If Zhang Wenda dares to say anything wrong, his political career will be over.

Zhu Youxiao inherited the great rule and became the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty. However, the national mourning has not yet ended. In such a special period, whoever dares to say that the new emperor should not abandon the government for the sake of filial piety will be impeached by others. !
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."

At this moment, a person walked out of the court class, held the court wat, walked towards the emperor with his head bowed, walked up to Zhang Wenda, and bowed to Zhu Youxiao.

Engineering is all about Hui Shiyang.

Seeing clearly who the visitor was, Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes and sneered in his heart. This guy was involved in the palace transfer incident that occurred not long ago.

As a minister of the outer court, he secretly has close contact with Wang An, the eunuch of the inner court, and knows the movements of the inner court. What is he trying to do?
Hui Shiyang held the imperial wat in his hand and began to talk eloquently, "Your Majesty, the advice given by Zuodu Yushi just now has no such meaning. Your Majesty is memorializing in Qianqing Palace..."

However, Zhu Youxiao didn't listen to a word of what he said.

The Donglin Party members are more eloquent than the other.

If I didn't know your face, I would have been fooled by you.

As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, enjoying the privileged treatment given by the imperial court, when the Ming Dynasty was in trouble and out of control, he surrendered first and then surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. How is this face different from Qian Qianyi who shouted that the water was too cold?
Zhu Youxiao glanced at the officials in front of him, and he could see all the changes in their expressions.

Zhang Wenda was forced to the corner, and Hui Shiyang was the first to jump out.

There is an important reason, both of them are from Shaanxi.

The current Donglin Party is fundamentally different from the Donglin Party during the Chongzhen Dynasty.

The Donglin Party in this period not only included people from Jiangnan provinces, but also from other regions.

They gather together with their ideas, slogans, blood ties, disciples, old officials, etc. to fight against the regional Zhejiang Party, Qi Party, Chu Party and other factions. Therefore, the current Donglin Party is a crony!
This is also true. There are many internal factions in the Donglin Party, and there are great differences in opinions. They are not monolithic.

"Don't tell me such things."

Zhu Youxiao lifted up the sleeves of his robe, and did not look at Hui Shiyang, "Everyone's eyes are on me, don't you think that you eat the king's salary, receive official salaries, and are appointed officials, just stare at me?

Just now, Liu Qing said that the emperor's mausoleum has only been initially clarified now. I would like to ask what did Yousi do for food before?
Huang Kao's Zi Palace is parked in the Hall of Renzhi. I would like to ask you, how long do you plan to let Huang Kao's Zi Palace stay in the Hall of Renzhi? "

Son of Heaven, what's the matter?
The cabinet ministers, Jingqing, court ministers, nobles, etc. who gathered at the Qianqing Sect, after hearing what Zhu Youxiao said, all lowered their heads, secretly frightened in their hearts, and showed different expressions.

In particular, the ministers who participated in the palace move were all more frightened and suspicious. The emperor's behavior today was very different from before.

"Where is the Minister of Rites?"

Zhu Youxiao said coldly.

"Chen is here!"

Sun Ruyou bowed his head and walked out of the court class, holding the court wat to salute and bow.

"Don't you have anything you want to say to me?"

Zhu Youxiao said calmly.

"Chen~"

Sun Ruyou, who was being asked, lowered his head, glanced behind him from the corner of his eye, and didn't know how to explain it for a while.

Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the throne, knew that Sun Ruyou was watching Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

"I have the original play!"

In the moment of silence, a loud voice sounded.

The military department was all involved in Yang Lian's affairs.

Seeing the people walking out of the court class, Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly. He knew this very well. He was a rising star of the Donglin Party, known as a fighter and a remonstrator.

"I have something to say about the tomb of Emperor Daxing."

Yang Lian walked to the front of the imperial court and saluted with the imperial wat, "It's not that the ministers are not dedicated, but in fact the location of the mausoleum is unusual, and the plan for Tianshou Mountain..."

Zhu Youxiao actually didn't care about the site selection of Daxing Emperor Zhu Changluo's mausoleum. The reason why he mentioned it in the early court was to see what the current court situation was like.

In fact, at a glance.

Donglin Party!
Donglin Party!
Those who jumped out were all the Donglin Party.

The Donglin Party, which was once jointly suppressed by the Qi Chuzhe Party and other factions, had gained too many advantages in the short Taichang Dynasty by virtue of its previous policy of sticking to the country.

Right now, even the inner court is not in control. If the Donglin party members are deposed in large numbers, I am afraid that a conspiracy similar to the Hongwan case will be staged again.

The Qi Chuzhe Party and other factions are in a declining stage, and the Donglin Party is in a rising stage, but the internal friction between your parties has seriously affected the order of Ming Dynasty.

Everyone is pushing me! !

This tyrant had to do something.

Zhu Youxiao sat on the throne, looked at Zhang Wenda who was kneeling on the ground, and Hui Shiyang, Sun Ruyou, and Yang Lian who bowed their heads in salute. Their stern eyes scanned the front of the court. Han Xu, the British Duke Zhang Weixian, Zhou Jiamo, the Minister of Personnel, Li Ruhua, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Huang Kezhan, the Minister of Punishments, had no expressions of joy or sorrow. No one knew what Zhu Youxiao was thinking at this moment.

Zhu Youxiao's silence made Wang An, who was standing respectfully by the side, feel uneasy.

The performance of the new king in the early court has changed too much from the previous one.

"Since the location of Huang Kao's mausoleum has been decided, someone should repair it as soon as possible. If there is any shortage of money, it will be allocated from the treasury. I know that Yang Qing is deeply trusted by Huang Kao, so this matter will be supervised by Yang Qing!"

Zhu Youxiao stood up slowly, looked down at the ministers in front of him, and said in a sonorous tone: "In view of the fact that the national mourning has not yet stabilized, I have decided to suspend the regular court and commemorate the emperor's grandfather and the emperor's exam in Qianqing Palace for seven days. During this period, if there is any affairs in the court, The cabinet is waiting for someone to deal with it. If you have an urgent request, you can go to the Palace of Qianqing to ask for it."

"!!!"

Zhu Youxiao didn't say anything, but after saying that, all the ministers gathered in the Qianqing Sect were surprised. No one expected that the new king would make such a decision.

Seeing that there was a change in the court before him, and some people showed signs of movement, Zhu Youxiao continued: "In addition...in the past two days, the foreign court criticized the inner court, and the Luan Palace accidentally leaked water, saying that I can't tolerate Li Xuanshi and Huang Bamei. There are even more rumors flying around, and everything is possible.”

"Okay, that's great! The outer court actually knows more about what happened in the inner court than I do. You are really my good ministers and good friends of the Ming Dynasty. Since some people care about the inner court so much, then... everyone Anyone who advises me on this matter will be dismissed from office and seized of their citizenship. They will be arrested at the Meridian Gate and punished for fifty years. They will be punished and expelled from the capital. They will be sent back to their place of origin and will never be hired!! Dismiss the court!!"

After saying that, Zhu Youxiao flicked his robe sleeves and walked towards the Qianqing Gate with his head held high, leaving a group of shocked officials standing outside the Qianqing Gate.
