Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 524: Cartilage

The dispute between imperial power and ministerial power is like sailing against the current for both parties. If you don't advance, you will retreat. However, for the imperial power, you cannot retreat even one step. If you retreat, it will mean that the emperor's power is declining, which will cause the country to suffer a lot of losses. Big, it will make some people more arrogant, and then involve many innocent people in harm's way!

Even if we retreat too much, the country and the country may be overturned. When the world is in chaos, countless people will die. This is the bane of power struggle.

Scholars gathered outside the Ming Dynasty Gate, and foreign officials gathered outside the Chengtian Gate. They arrested and controlled the Beijing Security Admiral's Office and the Emperor Ming Zongjun respectively. This trend had a great impact on the capital.

No one expected that the emperor would be so powerful. It was not just dozens or hundreds of people who were arrested at the request of the emperor, but thousands of people!
The key is that the banner they are playing is still for the name of Yan Shengzheng.

Most of those arrested were officials from various places, and a few were newly promoted tribute officials. The most important point was that among the officials from the foreign dynasty who were arrested outside Chengtian Gate, many of them were officials and censors. The impact and impact caused are too great.

Just because of the occurrence of this incident, there were divergent opinions in the capital, and the situation quietly became agitated.

Xiyuan.

Diaoyutai.

The second day of the mass gatherings at Damingmen and Chengtianmen occurred.

"It's okay, I'm wearing thick clothes."

Zhu Youxiao, who was fishing, heard the childish voice. He turned around and saw Zhu Shugui raising his head, holding a hand warmer in his little hand, with a look of concern between his brows.

"Then do you want to come and stay with me?"

Zhu Youxiao was sitting on the trestle, holding a fishing rod in his hand. The fish float was swaying in the water. There was no sound. There were many people standing not far from the trestle.

"return!"

Seeing Zhu Shugui like this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing.

The gentle breeze blows the weeping willow branches by the lake, causing ripples in Taiye Pond.

"Your Majesty, the wind is cold. You should be careful not to catch the wind and cold."

The sky is blue.

"Ha ha…"

Zhu Shugui blinked his eyes and said with a grin: "Your Majesty is too busy on weekdays, and I still have to study, so I have few opportunities to see you. But now that your Majesty is not busy, I can rest for a few days. Of course I want to see you." , Your Majesty, let’s go ride horses and shoot guns.”

This makes a lot of people nervous.

"Why are you thinking about riding a horse and shooting a gun at such a young age?"

Looking at the young but very senior child in front of him, Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you that you can rest these days?"

"Yes."

The sun is high in the sky.

I don't know how long it took, but I saw someone in the crowd walking towards the platform. When Zhu Yujian saw this, he whispered nervously, but Zhu Shugui didn't listen at all and walked directly towards the emperor's palace.

"Yes I do."

The descendants of the Zhu family, headed by Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian, the serving nobles headed by Zhang Qingzhen and Wei Shitai, and the eunuchs of the inner court headed by Liu Ruoyu, stood in several groups with different expressions on their faces. Look at the emperor's back.

Zhu Youxiao became interested and joked to Zhu Shugui with a smile.

Zhu Shugui's childish face showed a look of dissatisfaction, "I wanted to sleep in bed for a few more hours. Not long after dawn, I was dragged up by Brother Jian. He also said that His Majesty was in a bad mood. I will come to accompany Your Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help laughing.

"I am not a young man."

Zhu Shugui raised his head and said proudly: "Brother Jian will call me uncle when he sees me."

"Ha ha!!"

Zhu Youxiao's hearty laughter rang out, causing everyone gathered at the platform to show different expressions, especially Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian, whose hanging mental arithmetic dropped slightly. Anyone who is older can feel the emperor's anger after such a bad thing happened. But now that Zhu Shugui has passed by, the emperor is not angry. On the contrary, he laughs. In fact, Zhu Youjian and Zhu Yujian can both Guess what happened.

Footsteps sounded behind the crowd.

Although it is very light, it attracts many people.

How come there are so many people in front of the emperor?

At this moment, Qian Qianyi came and saw many people looking at him, and his anxious heart beat faster now.

"Why is he here?"

"I don't know."

"Is that what your Majesty meant?"

"If something like this happens, the cabinet will look like dead people! If..."

"Shut up, is this what you can say?"

Among the children of the Zhu family, some voices began to appear, but they soon stopped. When Qian Qianyi came, he could clearly feel a lot of unkind gazes.

This made him even more uneasy.

To be honest, no one in the cabinet knew about the gatherings like that at Daming Gate and Chengtian Gate, especially Qian Qianyi and Sun Ruyou. One is from the Donglin Party and the other is from the Zhejiang Party. No one expected it. This will happen.

"Mr. Qian Ge, His Majesty wants to see you!"

While Qian Qianyi was thinking a lot, Zhu Shugui came over and stared at Qian Qianyi with his head raised, "How long have you been waiting for your Majesty? Why do you dare..."

But before he finished speaking, Zhu Yujian stepped forward and covered his mouth.

"Woooo!!"

"Little ancestor, please stop saying a few words."

Zhu Yujian frowned and whispered. He knew that the first words were what His Majesty asked Zhu Shugui to pass on, but the second words were what the young ancestor wanted to ask himself.

"Mr. Qian Ge, since His Majesty has summoned you, why don't you hurry over." Looking at Qian Qianyi with a complicated expression, Zhu Youjian lifted his robe and stepped forward and said to Qian Qianyi.

"Yes Yes."

Qian Qianyi hurriedly lowered his head and responded.

"Brother Jian, why are you covering my mouth?!" As Qian Qianyi moved forward, Zhu Shugui broke away from Zhu Yujian's restraints and said dissatisfied: "Are they angry with His Majesty? They are all so heartless. How dare you be angry..."

"Little ancestor, stop talking."

When he went to the imperial court, Qian Qianyi heard the voice behind him very clearly. For some reason, Qian Qianyi felt even more timid in his heart.

"Your Majesty...Qian Qianyi, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

When he arrived in front of the emperor, Qian Qianyi did not even dare to raise his head and bowed respectfully.

"Lao Qian Ge is here."

When Zhu Youxiao saw this, he held the fishing rod in his hand, glanced at Qian Qianyi, and said jokingly: "Yesterday's farce at Daming Gate and Chengtian Gate must have been done by Mr. Qian Ge! That's how I want to be Embarrassing, right?”

"Your Majesty!! I am wronged!!"

Qian Qianyi's body was like chaff, and he knelt down on the ground as soon as his legs went weak. He said with a panicked expression: "I definitely don't dare to do such a disobedient thing. I don't know about it at all."

What a weakling.

Seeing Qian Qianyi like this, Zhu Youxiao showed a look of disdain. He only said a few words, and the dignified deputy minister of the cabinet was frightened like this. This Qian Qianyi was really unprecedented!
