If I fail to overcome the tribulation, I can only return to the Ming Dynasty and become a prince.

Chapter 114 Impeachment
There were no officials at the level of the Six Ministers to take the lead, and there were no officials such as cabinet bachelors who were highly valued and trusted by the emperor to advise. The civil and military officials in the Fengtian Palace blocking the policies promulgated by Zhu Di seemed like a farce.

Although strength in numbers is also a way to make the emperor compromise, after all, no matter how tough the emperor is, he still has to consider what it means to be unyielding.

After all, like Zhu Yuanzhang, he is the only one who can cut off officials' heads like leeks.

Not every emperor in any dynasty or generation can be like Lao Zhu, who killed almost all the officials in the court. In the end, there were no officials left to sentence each other. The officials who had only sentenced to death sentenced each other, even wearing wooden hats. For office work.

Although Zhu Di was ruthless in beheading his head, he was not to the level of Zhu Yuanzhang.

But without the truly important officials in the court taking the lead, no matter how many middle- and lower-level officials there were, they would not be able to affect the emperor's decision.

After all, the replacement of middle- and lower-level officials is relatively simple. Not to mention how many people throughout the Ming Dynasty were waiting for the emperor Kai Enke to jump over the dragon gate and become one of the officials of the Ming Dynasty. The Nanjing Imperial College established by Zhu Yuanzhang alone had Thousands of talents were specially trained to serve as officials.

Of course, the quality of the talents currently trained by the Nanjing Imperial College is another matter, but at least it is not a big problem for the imperial court to find a group of heads to replace some of the officials in the court.

It's just that this can easily cause political instability, so generally speaking, the emperor will not easily chop off a large number of heads and have fun in the court.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang only had so many heads chopped off because of major cases. On weekdays, officials in the Hongwu Dynasty lived a life of fear, and their salaries were pitifully small.

Therefore, for officials, they will not easily adopt the strategy of relying on large numbers to force the palace.

On the one hand, it is easy to make the emperor unhappy by doing this, especially for a hero like Zhu Di. If he really overturns his game, then he really has to choose one between the three clans and the nine clans.

Well, the two naturally become one, which is actually not a good thing for officials.

You can force the emperor to go to the palace once and for all, but not over and over again. After all, the feudal dynasty emphasizes the supremacy of kingship. If you force the emperor too much, even if the courtiers win in the end, if the emperor can't live with it both in face and heart, he will be ruined. .

What are the consequences of the emperor's failure? In the late Ming Dynasty, Emperor Wanli fought with his ministers over the matter of changing the crown prince. He did not go to court or work for decades, which eventually led to the almost paralysis of the entire Ming Dynasty. This kind of thing is when officials completely pissed off the emperor. One of the consequences.

And this was still not at Wanli's level. He didn't have a knife handle in his hand, but only held a seal handle. He couldn't chop off the heads of these civil servants, so he could only deny them retirement and promotion.

If there were emperors like Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, there would probably be a lot of killings again.

So today, seeing that there was no way to stop Zhu Di from promulgating the new policy, all these officials just gave up. No one really tried to persuade him to death or force the palace, which made everyone look bad.

Some people even planned to give up the impeachment of Zhu Zhanquan. After all, in today's atmosphere, the momentum was exhausted again and again. They really didn't have the heart to fight with the emperor again, just to bring down someone who seemed to be unworthy. An imperial grandson with no real power.But some people backed down, and some people just took advantage of it.

Today, if we can't stop the vassal king from re-leading his troops, we will drive the treacherous evil spirits who bewitched the king out of the court!
So an official who was qualified to wear a red robe but was not a minister of the six departments jumped out and said to the emperor: "I am going to report to my emperor. I am going to report to you that the second emperor, Sun Zhu Zhan, is bewitching my emperor with his evil words and bewitching me with the heresy of immortality." Above, bring trouble to the imperial court! I beg my emperor to stay away from this treacherous traitor and send him to the high wall of Fengyang to imprison him forever!"

Seeing someone starting, some officials who were originally prepared to retreat knelt back when they saw this, and even felt that they would no longer need their knees today.

After all, he had not stopped the successful emperor from promulgating the new policy before, and now he wanted to impeach the emperor's grandson. If the matter got to this point, the emperor would definitely not be able to deal with Zhu Zhanquan easily, and this matter would probably not be easy to handle in a short time.

It's okay that the others didn't participate and could still sit and eat the banquet, but those of them who were doing the work could only kneel here.

Although in the Ming Dynasty, courtiers did not actually need to kneel down when performing tasks. After all, the Ming Dynasty was not the Manchu and Qing Dynasties that treated ministers as slaves. However, officials sometimes expressed their determination or pleaded for something to the king. , and will still kneel down.

Just like now, these officials kneeling down are just to show their determination to impeach Zhu Zhancheng.

To put it harshly, this group of civil servants are acting scoundrelly. This kind of kneeling is more of a scoundrel who says, "Your Majesty, you don't care about your ministers and you won't get up."

So Zhu Di's head hurt when he saw this scene. He had suppressed the advice of civil servants twice in a row just now. He had almost shown the dignity that a king should have. At this time, it was difficult for him to continue to be tough.

Because the emperor also pays attention to the fact that there are no more than three things in one thing, he has been suppressing it, which will also have an impact and frustration on the relationship between the emperor and his ministers.

This also led to the fact that Zhu Di didn't really want to take care of this matter, and even wanted to leave it to the prince.

So Zhu Di looked at Zhu Gaochi and saw that the fat son was devouring the banquet in front of him. Although the prince was not so oily and had no appearance of eating, but in the face of this scene where the ministers were impeaching the emperor's grandson, the prince still couldn't It tastes delicious, but it’s inappropriate to say the least.

Zhu Di felt that the fire on his forehead was burning a little. He coughed and asked Zhu Gaochi: "Prince, these ministers are impeaching your second son, what do you think?"

"Sit down and watch." Zhu Gaochi replied with a very spiritual word, and then turned to look at Zhu Zhanchun who was sitting behind him. Seeing that Zhu Zhanchun was also eating deliciously, he knocked on his table and said: " Son, a minister is impeaching you!"

Faced with Zhu Gaochi's reminder, Zhu Zhanyu put down the chopsticks in his hands and stood up. He walked to Zhu Di and bowed and said, "I wish you a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, grandpa. My grandson got a piece of good clothing material a few days ago. Knife chop." It does not hurt or be invaded by water or fire. It is warm in winter and cool in summer when worn on the body. It can also keep away dust and repel mosquitoes. It is a good treasure!
So I specially asked my aunt from the Shangfu Bureau to make a dragon robe for my grandpa as a gift during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I also asked my grandpa to accept it and not to dislike my grandson’s meager gift! "

After saying that, Zhu Zhanquan clapped his hands, and naturally the palace maid who had been waiting for a long time presented the finished dragon robe.
