The heavens begin with the Dharma of absorbing power.

Chapter 461: I am neither an assistant nor a prime minister, but a photographer!

"Your Majesty, the ministers outside the palace have absolutely no intention of disrespecting Your Majesty. They just want to say that the previous censors just made mistakes in their words, which is a minor fault. They should not be severely discouraged and make the ministers timid. But. …”

Xie Qian quickly defended the officials outside the palace gate, but stopped at the last word. The words that followed were not pleasant, and he was afraid that he would make Master Wang who was sitting at the table angry.

"Thank you, Bachelor, you are my elder, there is no need to be formal, just finish what you have to say."

Xu Xin raised his head and glanced at Xie Qian, and after saying this, he continued to deal with matters.

"They said that the Grand Master was afraid of his ministers, so instead of punishing him with death, he punished the three clans. It was too cruel and detrimental to the saintliness... It was an act of power. They are willing to sacrifice their lives to report to your majesty. Suppress the power of the prime minister in order to uphold...the laws of our ancestors."

When Xie Qian finished saying these words, his vest was covered in cold sweat. He could see that the little emperor's face was extremely ugly, as if he was on the verge of rage.

One thing these courtiers never understood was that the young emperor was not the soft-tempered good man like the late Emperor Hongzhi. He was impatient and violent, and could not stand the threat of others.

You can tell him the truth that he can listen to. You can tell the rebellious young emperor about the law of observing the ancestors. I wonder if a junior high school student of fourteen or fifteen years old is full of rebelliousness and is the easiest to fall out with adults!

The "loyal words" of the officials and ministers sounded threatening to the little emperor's ears.

He was not a puppet who was deceived. Jinyiwei was dragged by Xu Xinhua to the young emperor for training, and was directly controlled by the emperor. In addition, the emperor also requested to investigate various intelligences from Hulong Villa and Dongchang. The intelligence was obtained through three sets of channels. Taken together, the truth is quite different.

Therefore, the emperor knew very well the true face of these officials outside. There was no clean civil and military officials in the entire dynasty. Even the Wang family, where Xu Xin belonged, used their power to do business. The difference was whether they did practical things and paid taxes normally.

In addition, Xu Xin also told him in this regard that given the current situation of the Ming Dynasty, it was unrealistic to completely have a breeze with two sleeves, so he did not pursue too much, but he knew the true face of the officials very well.

Now these people are shouting loud and righteous slogans, full of loyalty and morality, talking about not collaborating with powerful officials, and saying that they want to preserve the emperor's sanctity. But in fact, it was because of profit that no one was clean. In the eyes of the emperor, it was extremely hateful.

A group of guys who don't do serious things, sue his teacher who does practical things, and then threaten him to go out and meet him in person. It's so disgusting.

"Have you persuaded me?"

Zhu Houzhao looked at Eunuch Cao.

"Back to Your Majesty, the old slave persuaded them to hand over the book, but they refused and insisted on seeing Your Majesty. Moreover, the old slave also asked them, aren't they afraid of the imperial staff? They said they are not afraid of the imperial staff. ! He said that he would rather die under the stick than allow powerful ministers to disrupt the government."

"What do they think of the imperial staff of the Ming Dynasty? Are they using it to gain fame? So that they can pave the way for an official career? Okay, they want to die..."

Zhu Houzhao heard Xu Xin's allusions in this regard, and also went to check the information in this regard personally. There are many relevant records. Even if someone was killed by the imperial staff, some officials still flocked to it.

"Don't use the court staff without permission."

Xu Xin told the little emperor to stop with one sentence. Everyone looked at him, waiting for his next words.

"It's snowing outside!"

Xu Xin suddenly said this sentence without any beginning or end.

"Back to Grand Master, it has been snowing for two quarters of an hour."

Eunuch Cao replied.

"The censor is an official who speaks the truth, and any lapse in speech is a serious crime. How can he be given a light pardon just because the official and the ministers are absent? If it is a minor crime to gather all the ministers to plead for mercy, then where does the court's law stand? How many people are imprisoned? People must be severely sentenced, and the officials outside the palace gate should also discuss their crimes..."

"What the Grand Master said is true. These people don't really like to spread the allusions about Cheng Menlixue, so let's see if they can do it. Eunuch Cao, go deliver the order and guard the palace gate with a guard in brocade. If anyone faints, , I will send him to Beizhen Fusi for interrogation..."

Xu Xin said something, and Zhu Houzhao applauded after hearing it. The punishment given by Xu Xin was not the imperial rod, but more abrasive than the imperial rod. The emperor was told not to take any notice of him, and he asked the people outside to kneel in the snow, and then let the Jin Yiwei of Beizhen Fusi look after him.

Cheng Zhu Lijiao has been promoting the story of Cheng Menli Xue, but it depends on whether they can kneel in the snow for that long. If they can kneel for that long, it means they have passed the punishment and forgive their sin of disrespect. If they fainted in the middle After falling down, Jin Yiwei went up to see if he was really dizzy or fake.

Forget it if you are really fainted, just pretending to be a cheater, then I'm sorry, take a trip to Beizhen Fusi, how many officials are completely clean? That's basically Liangliang, the second batch of people who shed blood for reform!

"The emperor and the grand master are both here. The Ai family made some pearl cakes and sent them..."

Not long after Cao Zhengchun went down to deliver the order, the Queen Mother brought people to Wenyuan Pavilion, carrying a basket and bringing snacks made by herself.

"Your Majesty, the ministers outside the palace are eager to serve the country..."

At this time, some ministers couldn't help but speak, trying to open a breakthrough from the Queen Mother's side.

"The Ai family belongs to the harem. The harem does not involve in government affairs. This is the ancestral system!"

"Besides, the Ai family remembers that some people once said that I am jealous... I cannot be a mother to the world..."

The Queen Mother glanced at this person lightly. Emperor Hongzhi had a very good relationship with her, Qin Se He Ming. As a result, there were basically few concubines in the harem, and the Tian family had few heirs.

During the Hongzhi Dynasty, the imperial censor did not know how many times he reported that the queen was jealous and could not respect the world.

Emperor Hongzhi, a good old man, even tried to persuade officials because of this matter, but there was no way to stop them from saying it. Moreover, it was a fact that the emperor did not have many heirs, and there was indeed the problem of fewer concubines in the harem. This infamous queen could only Carrying.

Now that the emperor has become the late emperor and the empress has become the queen mother, those censors and officials think that saying a few words of kindness to her will make her stand up and help them fight against the grand master? How dare you think so!

At this time, Xie Qian had the courage to plead for mercy again: "Grand Master, since the Duke has the power of prime minister, why can't he have the power of prime minister? The civil servants of Fequque are young and vigorous, and do not know awe. How can we tolerate their criticism and serve the country?" Keep talents..."

"It is a serious crime for the Yushi Yanguan to make mistakes and make nonsense. Rumors do not mean that they just want to bite without checking anything. This is not hearsay, it is a frame-up..."

"Also, gathering a crowd to attack the palace is to force the palace and is disrespectful. In his position, he seeks his own government..."

As soon as Xu Xin got off the phone, the general idea was that these censors had not done their job well and were suspected of forcing the palace. Such punishments were light.

"Since I sit in the position of Grand Master, I will put the national law first, and there is no personal relationship at all!"

"Are all the ministers crying? It is better for one family to cry than for every family to cry. It is better for all the officials to cry than for the common people to cry."

Suddenly, Xu Xin's eyes became sharp. He stared at the ministers and said coldly: "Also, Bachelor Xie, you are wrong. I am not a prime minister. The late emperor's decree, the iron certificate of Hou Danshu, the God of Iron Guts, are there." load."

"I am neither an assistant nor a prime minister, but a photographer!"

Xu Xin's plain words made all the important officials in the court stunned.

Xu Xin said that he was not the prime minister, nor was he someone to support the government. He simply told everyone that he was the regent. And I also ordered Zhu Wuwu, which was equivalent to telling him that I knew the late emperor's will clearly, and I'd better not have any bad intentions.

Zhu Wuwang's expression remained unchanged, but his heart was in turmoil. He didn't expect that the emperor actually told Xu Xin the contents of the secret decree given to him by Tiedan Shenhou. So what was the secret decree in his hand? A piece of waste paper?

After this day, the opposition in the imperial court stopped on the spot. Everyone realized that Xu had become the voice of someone in the court. If they still wanted to fight, they could only do so in private, so the reform... the bloodshed that followed Just outside the court.

Measuring acres of land, inventorying and annexing, relocating people, immigrating to vassal states... these things cannot be accomplished without killing people. Xu Xin, on the other hand, had already completed the military reform and had the general power in his hands...
