high official

Chapter 1100 Violent
"What?!" All the nobles were furious when they heard it, Xue Lu stared at the bull's eye and shouted: "Does the emperor not care about the ancestral system at all?"

"That's right, the bones of Emperor Daxing are not cold, the emperor is not a son of man!" All the nobles agreed one after another, filled with righteous indignation for a while, they wanted to go to the palace to find the emperor to argue.

The nobles were all actionists who said they would leave as soon as they said they would, and immediately filed out. Wang Tong's son shouted from behind: "Let's see the order before we talk..." But no one paid any attention to it.

.

In the palace, Zhu Gaochi finished his lunch and was about to take a nap, but he heard the commotion outside the palace. He frowned and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"

"Dozens of nobles gathered here, saying they wanted to argue with the emperor." The eunuch hurriedly reported.

"What kind of noise is there?" Zhu Gaochi was agitated for a while, and had to suppress his temper, and said in a muffled voice, "Let them send a representative in."

After a while, Zhu Yong and Xue Lu came in, and after saluting Zhu Gaochi, the latter asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, don't you also agree with what the old minister said at the court meeting? Officer!" After a pause, he said with a dark face: "Violating the ancestral system, rebelling against one's promise, not like what a gentleman would do!"

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Gaochi's face turned livid, his hands on the dragon chair trembled slightly, and he had to use all his strength to prevent himself from erupting immediately.Zhu Yong was also secretly shocked. He didn't expect Xue Lu to be so bold, but he also knew that at this time, he must not back down in front of the emperor, so he insisted with a straight face: "Your Majesty, you owe the first emperor and ministers an explanation."

"No need to explain!" Zhu Gaochi finally couldn't help retaking the case, and said angrily: "It has been clearly stated in the will, the university non-commissioned officers only have the same five ranks, and Yang Shiqi and others are just serving as ministers and servants concurrently. Officials are not allowed to work part-time, right?!"

"This..." The two were dumbfounded when they heard the news, and then they remembered that they ran over as soon as they heard the news, without even reading what was written in the decree.

"Why, you don't know?" Zhu Gaochi looked at the two of them coldly, they nodded with difficulty, and the emperor slammed the case heavily, and angrily said: "Then why are you making such a fuss here?!"

Zhu and Yong chatted for a long time before Xue Lu said with difficulty: "Aren't they all the same..."

"How could it be the same?!" Zhu Gaochi said coldly: "If they are not allowed to take part-time jobs, then you have to relinquish your official positions and be your princes of peace honestly!"

"..." The two of Zhu Yong didn't dare to speak anymore. If the emperor really called out the truth, wouldn't they want to fight him.

"Hmph..." Zhu Gaochi snorted coldly, and said with a straight face, "You guys came just in time, I have something to inform you." As he spoke, he pointed to a decree on the table, and the eunuch at the side picked it up and read out loudly :

"Order Zhang Fu, Duke of England, to be in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Central Army, Zhu Yong, Duke of Cheng, to be in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army, Xu Jingchang, Duke of Ding, to be in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army, Chen Mao, Marquis of Ningyang, to be in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Front Army, and Liu Sheng, Marquis of Anyuan, to be in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Rear Army. Anping Bo Li An was in charge of the commander of the Sichuan capital, and Li was in charge of the commander of the Guangxi capital, and the former governor of the army was changed to Ma Ying in the rear military governor's mansion... Qing and others all went to the court first. Old, so entrusted to subdue the brachial heart, one is the willpower to be worthy of duty!"

Hearing that the eunuch read out this important decree, how could Zhu and Yong bother with the matter of the Grand Scholar?They all pricked up their ears and listened carefully to each appointment... First, they were secretly shocked by the magnitude of this change, which was unprecedented. Almost all key military positions were replaced. Although it was just a swap, there was no doubt that the general Completely reshuffle.

Zhu Yong is okay, after all, he knew that he was going to be in charge of the Zuojun Dudufu from the very beginning, although it is far less prominent than the previous one... The garrison in the local area is under its control, and its status is naturally higher than that of the other four capitals.But after all, it is a flat tone, even if it is unpleasant, it will not be unbearable on the spot.

Xue Lu was quite different, he listened to the end in a daze, but he didn't hear about his appointment, and when the eunuch finished reading, he couldn't help shouting: "Your Majesty, why isn't the old minister on the list? "

Zhu Gaochi looked at him expressionlessly, and asked, "Is the old Hou Ye seventy this year?"

"The old minister is only 67, how can he be [-]?!" Xue Lu's expression was uglier than crying.

"It's almost the same. At this age, it should be a good time to have grandchildren and take care of the rest of the world. How can I have the heart to let the old Hou Ye work too hard in his old age." Zhu Gaochi said lightly: "In the future, the old Hou Ye will consult the state affairs, the specifics Things should be left to young people to do.”

"You!" Xue Lu's beard was straight up, and he pointed at the emperor with red eyes, unable to speak for a while.The honorable status comes not only from the level of one's own title, but more importantly, the weight of military power in one's hands.This is why the Duke of England is superior to the Duke of Dingguo.Xue Lu's status was not as good as that of several dukes. Now that he lost his military power, he might not be counted among the marquises!
"Nothing else, just step back, I'm tired." Zhu Gaochi yawned, indicating that the two could leave.

"Your Majesty! You are unfair to the old minister!" Xue Lu finally shouted: "My eldest son died to save his grandson, and the younger son almost died to save you. You can't treat our Xue family like this!"

"I have already ordered someone to draw up an imperial edict to confer upon Xue Xun the title of Marquis of Loyalty. Xue Huan will also serve as the commander of the Guangdong capital." Zhu Gaochi couldn't hide his disgust in his eyes, and said lightly: "Old Marquis, is it appropriate to say this to me? "

"This..." Xue Lu was tongue-tied again, he couldn't say, you haven't rewarded me yet!He had no choice but to be dragged away by Zhu Yong in despair.

Looking at Xue Lu's dejected back, Zhu Gaochi's eyes were cold.

.

Outside the Qianqing Palace, a group of nobles were anxiously waiting for the news, when they saw Zhu Yong coming out, they immediately greeted them.Seeing Xue Lu's appearance like a mourning concubine, everyone knew something was wrong, and hurriedly asked: "What's going on?"

"Hey, let's talk when we get back..." Zhu Yong helped the old Xue Lu, and as he walked out, he beckoned everyone to leave with him.

"How can we just forget it like this?" Everyone still didn't understand.

"Forget it, what can I do, I don't even know the will, isn't it just looking for scolding?" Zhu Yong left first.Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and could only follow behind first, and left the palace gate.

After returning, all the nobles knew Zhu Gaochi's ingenious strategy of saving the country with curves, and with these warriors like them, they really couldn't think of a way to refute it.What's more, their attention was all attracted by the drastic changes in the army, and they couldn't care less about entanglement with Zhu Gaochi for a while.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaochi completely let go of his hands and feet. In the next few months, with the cooperation of the cabinet and the Sixth Ministry, he abolished Zhu Di's tyranny, and at the same time rehabilitated Fang Xiaoru and other Jianwen party members.Yang Shiqi and others even found out that Fang Xiaoru had an uncle and brother named Fang Xiaofu who was still alive. Zhu Gaochi also decreed to restore his original identity and ordered people to give him land so that he could go home and live and work in peace.

This series of radical actions naturally caused an uproar in the court, and the civil servants sympathized with Jianwen's old party in their hearts. It's a good thing to say that the generals who had just calmed down were completely blown up!

Zhu Gaochi turned a deaf ear to this, and instead openly said in the court: "Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, and Fang Xiaoru are all loyal ministers. If we don't rehabilitate them, who will sacrifice for our Ming Dynasty in the future?"

The court ministers who said this were stunned, the generals were filled with grief and indignation, and the expressions of the civil servants changed one by one. Unexpectedly, the emperor dared to say such outrageous words.

"Your Majesty!" Xue Lu, Marquis of Yangwu broke the pot and immediately stepped forward, weeping blood and said: "If people like Qi Tai and Fang Xiaoru were loyal ministers, wouldn't the former emperor be a traitor? Aren't you the queen of traitorous ministers, Your Majesty? What qualifications do you have to sit on this dragon chair?!" At the end, it was almost abusive.

"Yes, Your Majesty, if they were loyal ministers, wouldn't they say that the first emperor was punishing Zhongliang? This crime is too great!" All the generals also echoed, "Please take back these words, Your Majesty!"

"One yard belongs to one yard, each is its master." Zhu Gaochi was unmoved, and said lightly: "The first emperor killed them, there is a reason for the first emperor, but it's okay to kill them, so don't harm your descendants... ..."

After several months of enthronement, Zhu Gaochi has entered the state, and he will no longer be forced to step down by his courtiers like he was when he first came to court.

"Since the emperor refuses to take it back, then us rebellious officials and thieves have no face to live in this world!" Xue Lu roared, jumped up suddenly, and rushed forward.

"What are you going to do!" The big Han general in charge of the guard screamed, and quickly drew out his weapon to protect him!
However, Xue Lu's target was not the emperor, but Dan Chi under the emperor's feet. Amidst the exclamation of the crowd, he bumped his head on the cold stone steps, and his brain burst out immediately, and the blood stained a large piece of white marble.

Zhu Gaochi's face was also pale, obviously he didn't expect that Yang Wuhou would be so violent...

All the nobles hurried forward to help, but were separated by the big Han general.Jin Yiwei stepped forward to inspect Yang Wuhou, who was breathing out but not breathing in. After a while, he reported in a deep voice: "This person is dead..."

The scene immediately turned into a mess, the nobles roared, cursed, and cried bitterly, wanting to pounce on Xue Lu, punching and kicking the big Han general who blocked their way.At this time, no one dared to stand up and hold them accountable for yelling at the court, disrespecting the emperor, and hurting the guards, so they could only let them vent...

The five academicians looked at the dead body of Marquis Yangwu on the ground, as well as the distraught nobles, and felt that the situation was going to be very bad...

"Hey, Your Majesty is too hasty..." The scholars sighed in their hearts, but they also knew why Zhu Gaochi was so impatient. In order to wait for this day, the emperor had waited for 20 years, and he had already lost his patience. Body... He has to seize the day!
"Retreat..." The eunuch's voice finally sounded, and Zhu Gaochi left the chaotic Fengtian Gate in a bit of a panic, but the ministers' shouts and shouts became more violent, passing through the sky and resounding throughout the city!
