Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 358 Dethroning the Prince
He Rui, Shangshu of the Nanjing Ministry of Industry, crashed into a pillar and died, but he was not named at all.

Jiang Riguang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, left the court even more lonely.

This made all the ministers turn pale with horror.

At this time, Zhu Youjian continued to ask: "Is there anyone who wants to die?"

The prince Zhu Cihong looked back anxiously, but at this moment all the officials remained silent, but after a while, a worker named Bo Yu stood up from the incident and took a look at Ruan Dayue: " have!"

At this time, Zhu Youjian was shocked and terrified. He didn't expect that there would be officials who were not afraid of death.

But at this time, in order to strengthen his imperial power, he must grit his teeth and get rid of these officials who still abide by Confucian etiquette, because these are the only obstacles for him to completely rule the civil official group!

Zhu Youjian didn't have any reason or motivation to take the initiative to kill them, and now indirectly forcing them to commit suicide is the only way.

"Then go and remonstrate to death, I won't allow it!"

Zhu Youjian said something directly, but Bo Yu knelt down directly:
"Your Majesty, let me tell you carefully. The remonstrance of the minister's death is not a remonstrance to your Majesty to depose the East Palace, but only a remonstrance to your Majesty to kill the treacherous minister Ruan Dayue. Although Ruan Dayue is a civil servant, he is more ruthless than the Dongchang eunuch. This man is unfaithful and murderous. Not killing this person is not enough to cause civilian indignation!"

The rest of the officials all looked at Ruan Dayue, and Gao Hongtu, the chief assistant of the cabinet, also looked at Ruan Dayue, including Liu Wanchun, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Although no one spoke at the moment, their expressions revealed their disgust towards Ruan Dayue.

However, Ruan Dayue also has his own confidants, at this time Ye Tingxiu, the censor of Zuoqian capital, stepped forward:

"Your Majesty, what Ruan Dayue killed was the rebel party, and he followed His Majesty's orders. What Bo Yu said was all slander!"

Ye Tingxiu was Liu Zongzhou's disciple, but now he stood up to speak for Ruan Dayue, which surprised Gao Hongtu, Liu Wanchun and other officials.

And Zhu Youjian smiled, and his mood became better.

Now this situation is what he wants to see the most. Ye Tingxiu is Liu Zongzhou's disciple, but now he voted for Ruan Dayue. North Korea and China also began to have their own forces.

"Bo Yu, I will give you two choices, one is to prove your hatred for Ruan Dayue by dying, or the other is to go to Lechang, Guangdong to be the magistrate, where a flood just happened and the magistrate died in his post;
I know that there are old mothers and weak children among you. If you die at this time, even though it is the death festival of a man, you will abandon your family in loneliness, leave your body and not die, and go to Lechang to work for the welfare of the people. It can be regarded as bearing the consequences for your admonishment today. "

After Zhu Youjian said that, he sat back.

Boyu's speech officials who impeach officials are different from those who impeach him. The former has no direct conflict with himself, so Zhu Youjian can also give him a chance of immortality.

Seeing the change in Zhu Youjian's attitude, the officials knew Zhu Youjian's deep meaning, and Bo Yu also took a long breath, knowing that he could not let His Majesty punish Ruan Dayue, so he had to bow his head:

"Please go to Lechang!"

So far, no one dared to impeach Ruan Dayue, Ruan Dayue gave Gao Hongtu a provocative look, Gao Hongtu had no choice but to smile bitterly.

"Do you still want to remonstrate with the crown prince about being abolished now?"

Zhu Youjian asked the officials for the third time.

Ruan Dayue and Gao Hongtu rushed to express their views to Zhu Youjian:
"Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers have no objection!"

"Your Majesty is wise, and the ministers have no objection!"

Other officials followed suit.

At this moment, Emperor Zhu Youjian of the Ming Dynasty is in sole control of the power of the world and has settled down.

Once again, the imperial power is above everything and can no longer be stopped, and no one has the ability to contend with Zhu Youjian.

The prince Zhu Cihong began to feel even more flustered. Seeing that the civil servants he relied on in the past expressed their support for his father one by one, he had to run over to Zhu Youjian crying, and finally fell down in front of Zhu Youjian, crying shouted:

"Father, I am the prince, I am the prince, you can't abolish me, you can't abolish me!"

Zhu Youjian didn't take another look at Zhu Cihong. At this moment, he had to abolish Zhu Cihong, and he couldn't show any sympathy. Then he made a second decision:

"I will pass on an oral order first. After the court is over, Ruan Dayue will go to the Wenhua Hall to draw up an edict. The cabinet and the Grand Marshal's Mansion will issue an imperial edict to the world. The emperor's eldest son Zhu Cihong will be the king of Hui, and he will bestow the title on the west side of the left gate of Chang'an. On the east side of the right gate of Chang'an, on the west side of Chengtian Gate given by King Ding, princes should not stay in the deep palace after the age of 15, and should focus on learning government etiquette;
Special orders: King Hui is an apprentice to the Ministry of Rites, King Yong is an apprentice to the Ministry of War, and King Ding is an apprentice to the Ministry of Households. All the ministries are good students, don't care about the dignity of the prince, and can be reprimanded by anyone above the principal; the princes should not be self-confident. It is easy to divide into father's worries. "

These three princes have been with Zhu Youjian for three years, and they already have basic knowledge of arts and sciences. Zhu Youjian has long planned to let them go out to practice and participate in practical work, which is better than being taught Confucianism by a group of old scholars all day long. much better.

However, when he made this decision now, the officials were still quite surprised, but at this time they could only obey the order and dare not say anything more.

"Your Majesty did this on purpose to make us officials and the princes fight each other. The emperor's heart is really unfathomable, but it is also really cruel. He did not hesitate to deliberately let his sons fight openly and secretly for the sake of the great Ming Dynasty. Fuck each other!"

Gao Hongtu sighed, but Liu Wanchun couldn't help laughing and said:
"Let King Ding be an apprentice to the household department. Isn't this asking Liu to be the king's party? I just don't know how talented Wang Ding is. If he doesn't have the talent to be a prince, Liu would not want to put his wealth and life on him, but would rather be a lonely minister. .”

"You, I'm relieved that I can distinguish the interests of the country, but Ruan Dayue doesn't know about it. He is in charge of the military department and now King Yong has gone to him again. King Yong has always been quite motivated, but the crown prince, don't you?" , it's King Hui, King Hui and Ruan Dayue are no longer at loggerheads, I'm worried that they're really starting to form a party."

Gao Hongtu said.

"Whether you form a party or not, His Majesty will not allow anyone to affect the overall situation of the world," said Hua Yuncheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

Ruan Dayue was indeed very excited at this time. Zhu Cihong's performance today made him aware of the harm that Zhu Cihong would bring to him if he ascended the throne and became emperor. Therefore, he has now actively started contacting Yongwang, and even directly suggested that Yongwang go to the Ming Army first. After studying in the military academy, he went to the Daming Ship Administration Bureau to win over the Guards and the Zheng Group directly.

Zhu Youjian pretended not to know about this, but ordered others to be on guard.

He doesn't mind the prince participating in training in the army, but it is naturally impossible to divide his military power.

Zhu Youjian really didn't have much psychological pressure to depose the prince and deliberately let the adult princes fight each other for the position of prince.

I don't know if it's because his heart has become harder and harder over the years, or because as a time traveler, he didn't see the love between father and son so deeply. At this moment, he only hopes to really put pressure on these princes, and stop being a mediocre prince. Waste that is used by civil officials or has nothing to do with them.
