Be the Emperor from Today / the Young Emperor of the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Yijun sat up from the dragon couch and let the palace maid put on the dragon robe.

……

In the early dynasty, ministers had to get up and travel halfway across the capital to the Meridian Gate.In the early morning, the minister arrived outside the Meridian Gate and waited.

When the drums on the Meridian Gate tower are sounded, the ministers will line up; when the bell rings around [-]:[-] in the morning, the palace gate will be opened.

The officials entered one by one, crossed the Jinshui Bridge and formed a team in the square.

If any of the officials coughs, spit or walks unsteadily, they will be recorded by the censor in charge of the picket, and they will be dealt with.

Usually, when the emperor arrives at the Taihe Gate or the Taihe Palace, all officials kneel and kowtow three times.Only officials of the fourth rank or above have the opportunity to enter the hall to talk to the emperor, ministers report government affairs to the emperor, and the emperor asks questions or answers.

……

"The time of the court ceremony needs to be changed. I don't sleep well every day, I'm sure to die early, and I go to court at three in the morning. Who decided this?"

"Go back to the emperor, this is the rule set by the Great Ancestor."

Zhu Yijun pondered in his heart, put the punishment of this corrupt official aside for now. The rules of the early court should be changed first. Where is the reason for going to court at three in the morning?

This is not to boil people to death.

They suffer, and so do ministers.

If you move back an hour and smell the chicken and dance, it will be much more comfortable...

If the time of the previous court was changed, it would not be the emperor who would benefit the most, but the ministers. Because the court time was too early, the ministers could not even sleep soundly.

The emperor can sleep until five o'clock, and then go to the court to discuss politics...

No wonder most emperors are reluctant to go to court. To be honest, it's really boring...

……

After Zhu Yijun put on the dragon robe, Empress Dowager Li and Empress Dowager Chen came together.

This is Zhu Yijun's first court appearance, and the two empress dowagers are still a little worried about Zhu Yijun, but they feel a little relieved when they see that Zhu Yijun has changed into the dragon robe.

Compared with the calm inside the Forbidden City, many officials outside the Meridian Gate were frightened.

Especially the minister of the Ministry of Industry, he almost broke his courage.

Because after he went to court, he found that the huge Ministry of Industry had lost one-third of the officials. After he sent people to inquire, he found out that these officials were secretly taken away by Jinyiwei, and the homes of those officials were also blocked by Jinyiwei. Access is prohibited...

The new emperor has not yet ascended the throne, and a large-scale arrest has begun, which heralds a storm to come.

The minister of the Ministry of Industry has vaguely known why these officials were arrested...

Cold sweat kept pouring out of his forehead. He secretly looked at Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng. At this time, the two were chatting head to head, and they seemed to be very close.

The Minister of Works was even more frightened. He was originally from Gao Gong's line, but Gao Gong didn't reveal any news to him, and at this time he had a good talk with Zhang Juzheng. What this meant was self-evident!

The other officials also felt the chilling air, because they found that there were twice as many guards inside and outside the Meridian Gate, and all the guards were standing in front of each other...

crunch--

The door is open!

Under the leadership of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, officials of the fourth rank and above entered the Golden Palace.

The little emperor sat on the dragon chair and looked down at the entire hall.

Wanli New Dynasty, the first court meeting began.

……

After the civil and military officials entered the hall, they bowed to the emperor. The civil and military officials were divided on both sides, and officials above the fifth rank held ivory hand panels.

Zhu Yijun sat on the dragon chair and looked at the civil and military officials in the hall.

Many gestures appeared in front of him.

Some officials were frightened, some were still drowsy, some were in good spirits, and some looked around, showing a thoughtful look.

These officials didn't seem to care about the little emperor sitting on the dragon chair.

In their view, it was the cabinet that dominated the Ming Empire.

The little man sitting on the dragon chair is just a marionette.

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng looked up at Zhu Yijun with a confident look on their faces. Zhu Yijun secretly said in his heart: "It seems that these two guys have found a group of corrupt officials for themselves, and it seems that the treasury is going to be full..."

……

"My minister has this recitation."

High Arch was the first to appear.

"Precise play."

Zhu Yijun said softly, and the eunuch next to him shouted loudly, "Precise!"

Gao Gong said in a loud voice: "Since Emperor Hongwu, I have strictly investigated corrupt officials, but! To this day, there are still those who act daringly. Your Majesty, I have evidence of corruption of thirteen corrupt officials, as well as money and money. Please Your Majesty Holy Inquisition!"

The voice of Gao Gong echoed in the hall, and the civil and military officials held their breaths.

Now the emperor, the cabinet, and Dongchang have gathered all their strength to punish corrupt officials, and no one in the imperial court dares to say a word.
