After explaining, Zhu Qizhen thought of another thing, and turned his head and ordered Cao Zhengchun.

"Qingliu rumor officials are estimated to go up to the dynasty as usual according to the ancestral time, you give Xu a little stricter, since they use the etiquette system to talk about things, then you give Xu the place where they are caught and let them settle a little." "

"The slave obeys the order. "

Cao Zhengchun smiled secretly.

He has long wanted to clean up this gang of rumor officials.

These what shit royal history, what shit Qingliu, have always looked down on themselves, castrated the party all day long cursing themselves, almost all of them bombarded him Cao Zhengchun indiscriminately.

The most hateful thing is that some imperial historians actually said that he Cao Zhengchun secretly colluded with the assassins to assassinate the emperor, saying that he secretly colluded with the White Lotus Sect.

This simply made Cao Zhengchun unacceptable!

Now that the emperor is supervising them, whether there is a place for overstepping the courtesy, Cao Zhengchun can just be justified and teach these self-proclaimed officials a good lesson.

It is conceivable that in the next period of time, the life of these imperial historian officials will be very difficult.

After all, there is a pair of death gazes from the East Factory, staring at them all the time, and as long as they make a slight mistake, they will be played to the emperor.

The next day, trumpets sounded and whips sounded.

The emperor ascends the court!

With the Son of Heaven sword hanging from his waist, Zhu Qizhen sat high in the ninth five, and he wanted to see what kind of force dared to act in secret and block reform.

"If there is something early, there is nothing to retreat!"

Wei Zhongxian's duck-like voice, loudly declaring and drinking, resounded throughout the Xuanzheng Hall.

"Chen, there is Ben Qiyu!"

The right imperial historian held an ivory Jane in his hand, and walked out of the imperial class with a straight face.

"Your Majesty, one person and one boat, are not allowed to go to the sea, and the policy of sea prohibition is enforced, which is actually the ancestral system set by the Hongwu Emperor and cannot be changed. The minister implored His Majesty to follow the ancestral etiquette system and continue to ban the sea. Now that many merchant ships in Daming have entered the sea, this is to regard the ancestral system as nothing!"

"Minister, there is also a Ben to play!"

The right capital royal voice just fell, and there was a royal history list.

"The root of the world lies in agriculture, agriculture, industry and commerce, and merchants, as fourth-class pariahs, Your Majesty should not attach so much importance to commerce, and the minister begs Your Majesty to withdraw the policy of reforming commerce. "

Zhu Qizhen had long expected that if he carried out reforms, the Daming Empire would definitely set off a storm.

It's just that he didn't expect that this storm would come so quickly!

One by one, the imperial historians came out one after another, pleading with the emperor to ban the sea and abolish commercial taxes,

These imperial histories naturally knew that 17 the emperor was decisive in killing, which shows that they have put their life and death on the line.

Above the court, there is only the imperial history of being killed, there is no retreat imperial history, and the clear imperial history of the Daming Empire was killed by the emperor for blunt offense, and the young history is honored.

Daming's counsellor has never been afraid of death!

This time, Zhu Qizhen finally felt the bullish temper of the Daming official.

Since ancient times, Yanguan is not afraid of death, and he will not be a Yanguan for fear of death, and now Zhu Qizhen is facing such a situation.

These imperial historians, one by one, prefer fame.

If they were given death by Zhu Qizhen because of their outspokenness, they would definitely gain a great reputation among Shilin, and maybe Zhu Qizhen would also receive the title of a tyrant.

Glancing obliquely at the many imperial histories in the court, Zhu Qizhen's eyes sank slightly.

He snorted coldly in his heart: "Today, Xu must teach you a lesson, so that you must know that Xu is the master who gives you food." "

Suddenly, Zhu Qizhen's momentum became fierce.

Cao Zhengchun, who is the most observant of words, his body trembled involuntarily, he is the internal minister of the Son of Heaven, and he has spent a long time with Zhu Qizhen, and he knows that His Majesty is already angry.

These imperial historians, who do not know whether they are dead or alive, are afraid that they will be treated to death by His Majesty next!

In the face of such a Zhu Qizhen, Cao Zhengchun tried to maintain a more humble state.

The courtiers in the court naturally all knelt down and fell to the ground.

Zhu Qizhen stood up abruptly and said to the imperial historian officials without anger: "Do you think that you are blunt in your words, there is a great reason?"

"The minister believes that the sea must be banned again to protect the safety of the coastal people!"

"The minister believes that the ancestral system set by Taizu cannot be violated!"

"Chen thinks that Yan Song and Xu Jie must be severely punished!"

These imperial historian officials turned around and said that they were reasonable, that is, reasonable, and incidentally took Zhu Qizhen's questioning.

"Okay, you are very good, then I will tell you whether to ban the sea again, whether to restore the ancestral system, and whether to severely punish the first assistant of the cabinet and the second assistant of the cabinet." "

Zhu Qizhen's majestic voice resounded throughout the court, and there was a sound on the ground.

He wants these imperial historians to die clearly.

"You said that you want to ban the sea again so that you can protect the safety of the coastal people?"

"Your Majesty Shengming, this sea must be banned, otherwise, how can the safety of the coastal people be guaranteed?"

"Nonsense!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and asked sharply, "The ban on the sea is good for the coastal people?"

"Tell you, don't say that there is no chaos now. Yes, they were destroyed. The reason why he built the navy was to make the world submit and let the people of the Daming Empire set foot in the world. "

"This..."

For a while, these imperial historian officials were speechless, and cold sweat began to break out on their foreheads.

They were all shocked by Zhu Qizhen's domineering, and at the same time, they were also a little excited and their blood boiled.

Such a Daming Empire is exactly the Daming Empire they yearn for in their hearts.

Zhu Qizhen snorted coldly and chased after the victory.

"Even in the past, when there were Wokou raging, why did the coastal people still risk their lives to go to sea after defeating the Wokou?"

"Tell you, because that's their way of life!"

"Yes, when Emperor Taizu banned the sea, it was indeed to protect the coastal people, but it also cut off their livelihood, do you know how many coastal people risked violating the Daming Law and risking killing their heads when they were banned, or they still wanted to go into the sea to fish?"

"If you really think about the people, you should not discuss the re-prohibition of the sea in front of Xuan, but you should go to the coast and ask the people, and if the people promise you, you will ban the sea." "

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen is guilty, and Wei Chen did not go deep into the people, so he spoke out. "

The Right Capital Yushi was trembling, and his imperial uniform was already soaked with sweat, and he could already see that His Majesty was going to send him to the coast.

Moreover, His Majesty's words took over, leaving him speechless and unable to argue.

How can the heavenly kingdom forbid the sea?

The Daming Empire should not close its doors to the country, but should go out.

The people of the Daming Empire, no matter where they go, cannot be humiliated, because behind them is the powerful Daming Empire, which makes the world tremble.

"No, none of you are guilty!"

Zhu Qizhen suddenly smiled.

However, these imperial historian officials were frightened, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

"I want to give you a task, didn't you say that you want to re-ban the sea, you are right, but the coastal people did not agree, you got there to convince them." "

Zhu Qizhen said with a smile: "However, you have to take off this official uniform before going, and I dare not let you represent the court, represent Shu, and I am afraid that I will be scolded by the people." "

"Ministers obey the order. "

The emperor said so, where did these imperial historians dare to say anything, their bodies seemed to be drained, so they had to kneel on the ground and kowtow to Zhu Qizhen to thank them.

Just when he thought in his heart, when His Majesty's anger subsided, he might let him go and let him return to the dynasty as an official.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Qizhen added: "If the coastal people do not agree to your banning sea policy for a day, you will not be allowed to return to the DPRK." "

As soon as these words came out, several imperial historian officials directly fainted.

But most of the stronger ones still endured it and trembled: "Wait for your majesty!"

They know very well that they should not think about returning to Jingshi in the future, and even began to think desperately about how to sell Jingshi's family property, choose a good place on the coast, and live the rest of their lives.

Zhu Qizhen said again, "You said you want to restore the Taizu ancestral system?"

"Chen, I think so!"

Although these imperial historians, they were already a little afraid.

The fate of the previous imperial histories is in front of you, which is equivalent to cutting off the career path, and may even be scolded by the coastal people.

These imperial historians are not afraid of death, but they are afraid of leaving a stench for ten thousand years.

"Since you said that this is the ancestral system, do you know why Xu changed it?"

"I don't know, but I also ask His Majesty to answer his doubts." "

These imperial historian officials lowered their bodies.

"Okay, I'll tell you. Because I feel that there is something wrong with this ancestral system, it is necessary to modify. "

Zhu Qizhen said: "In the summer and autumn seasons, it is good that the hundred officials come to the upper dynasty so early, but only in the spring and winter seasons, the weather is cold and freezing, and the minister comes to the upper dynasty so early, how can he bear it?"

"You officials, who are rich and strong, naturally don't feel anything. "

"But look at what those elderly ministers do, look at the old ministers Yan Ge, Xu Ge Lao, these old ministers, braved the cold and cold to wait for the upper dynasty, can they bear it?"

"What should I do if I am sick in bed because of the cold, what if I lack these powerful ministers, what should I do if Daming lacks this Liang Zhicai, and when it comes time to hire people, who will I use?"

"Are you officials who only pick bones in eggs?"

Zhu Qizhen's tone was full of contempt.

Compared with Yan Song, Xu Jie, Zhang Juzheng, these pillars of the country, these imperial histories except for complaints, other things, simply do not know.

Every word of Zhu Qizhen was like a sharp sword, piercing straight to the point.

These imperial historians, who were kneeling on the ground, were originally a little retreated, and at this moment, under the emperor's rebuke, they did not know how to answer.

After thinking about it, he finally had to say: "The ministers and other sins deserve death, please Your Majesty to stop being angry." "

"Ten thousand deaths are still spared!"

Zhu Qizhen snorted coldly: "You guys went back and thought about it behind closed doors, and you were punished for half a year, because you still read the books of the sages, and your mind was full of pedantic thoughts, and you didn't know how to change." "

"Your Majesty Longen, thank you Longen!" (read violent novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

These imperial historians escaped and desperately kowtowed to the emperor to apologize.

Qianqing Palace, Xuanzheng Hall.

Zhu Qizhen sat on the dragon chair and turned his gaze to the last dozen or so imperial historians.

These imperial historians are different from the two types of faces.

They impeached Yan Song and Xu Jie because they accepted bribes from businessmen, which vigorously promoted policies that favored businessmen.

Whether Xu Jie and Yan Song accepted bribes or not, let's not say for the time being.

Because Zhu Qizhen had received a secret report from Cao Zhengchun, these imperial historian officials had accepted 500,000 taels of silver bribed by unknown people.

These 500,000 taels of silver, divided into five times, each time 100,000 taels, were sent to their house.

Obviously, the reason why these more than a dozen imperial historian officials attacked the cabinet ministers in the court and hindered the reform of Zhu Qizhen was instructed by someone!

"I want to know what the people who bribed you after accepting these 500,000 taels of silver ask you to do?"

Zhu Qizhen seemed to be smiling, looking at these dozen or so trembling imperial officials.

These imperial historian officials suddenly sweated profusely!

"Plop!"

These imperial officials, who have always been known for their high purity, suddenly collapsed on the ground: "The ministers are confused for a while, Your Majesty spares your life!"

"Snap!"

Zhu Qizhen shot up and asked angrily, "Do you think that the East Factory of Shu is a decoration?"

The majestic voice echoed in the Xuanzheng Hall.

The Manchu Dynasty's civil and military officials were shocked by the imperial power, and the civil and military officials turned their heads one after another, looking at these dozen imperial historians, filled with righteous indignation, and eager to devour them alive.

"The courtiers deserve death, please Your Majesty to stop your anger, these silver are not what I want, it is them, they insisted on sending it to me, and I did not want to take it at that time." "

Suddenly, an imperial historian whose body trembled violently, and he desperately kowtowed to the emperor and begged for mercy.

"You don't want to take it? I see you're holding the silver, but I'm so happy." "

Zhu Qizhen was furious, and looked at Cao Zhengchun, who was standing beside him: "Cao Zhengchun, you give the Manchu Dynasty Wen Wu a thought, the good things he has done in the past few months." "

"The slave obeys the order. "

Cao Zhengchun took out the secret report, sneered with a sneer, and looked at this imperial historian official.

"Three months ago, someone gave Zhang Yushi 663 words worth 50,000 taels of silver jewelry, Zhang Yushi was happy, but sincerely afraid, and put it in the pond, two and a half months ago..."

Zhu Qizhen was furious, and asked: "This is your incorruptibility as a rumor official, it is simply ridiculous, don't you think it is shameful to accept bribes yourself, and to falsely accuse cabinet elders who work for social welfare?"

"Your Majesty spares your life, they really have to give it to me." "

"Shangshu of the Criminal Department!"

"According to the Daming Law, how to punish?"

"According to the Great Ming Law, the amount of greedy ink is huge, and it is all over the house. "

Zhu Qizhen took a sip of tea and said lightly: "These people, all of them should be dealt with according to the Great Ming Law." "

"Wei Chen obeys. "

Shang Shu of the Criminal Department handed over.

"Cao Zhengchun, the supervisor of the East Factory. "

Cao Zhengchun came out, and Zhu Qizhen pointed to these famous imperial historians: "Put all these people on death row and torture them." I want to know who is so daring to bribe the Qingliu officials and frame the cabinet ministers. "

"The slave obeys the order. "

These clear rumors and officials are all ashes, falling into the hands of the East Factory, and life is better than death.

Cao Zhengchun escorted more than a dozen imperial historians, walked out of the court, and returned to the East Factory, His Majesty wanted to find out the black hand behind the scenes, as the emperor's eyes and ears, he must find out in the shortest possible time.

Otherwise, it is to betray the emperor's trust.

Above the court, many imperial historians did not dare to speak out again.

Zhu Qizhen asked, "Everyone Ai Qing, who still has Ben Qi Music?"

Yan Song, the head of the cabinet, came out and said: "Since His Majesty ascended the throne, Daming has become increasingly prosperous, and the Daming navy has won a great victory in the battle against the Britons. "

Zhu Qizhen listened to Yan Song's, and didn't know what tricks this old fox was going to play.

Yan Song's words fell, and the Manchu Dynasty Wen Wu also congratulated one after another: "Under His Majesty's governance, the Daming Kingdom is rich and strong, which is indeed a blessing for all the people." "

Listening to the praise of the Manchu Dynasty Wen Wu, Zhu Qizhen's face showed a little relief, and he waved his hand: "If Yan Aiqing has anything to say, it doesn't hurt to say it directly." "

Yan Song bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty's holy ming, martial arts, rare in ancient times, the minister asked His Majesty to set up an altar to worship the heavens." "

"Please Your Majesty ascend to the Temple of Heaven to perform the ceremony. "

The Manchu Dynasty Wen Wuqi claimed to drink.

"Yes, Shangshu Zhao Hengchen of the Ministry of Rites listens to the order. "

Zhao Hengchen held the ivory Jane in his hand and handed it over, and Zhu Qizhen said: "Choose an auspicious day, design an altar, and ascend the altar to sacrifice heaven and earth." "

"Wei Chen obeys. "

Zhao Hengchen took the order and returned to the imperial column.

Yan Song continued to play.

"Since His Majesty conquered Vara and defeated the royal fleet of the Sun Never Sets Empire. "

"The twenty-two vassal states around the Daming Empire have doubled the number of years silver, and twelve smaller countries have written to them, willing to enshrine the Daming Empire as the suzerainty, hoping to join the vassals of the Daming Empire, paying annual silver every year, and making them vassals to the Daming Empire. "

"These two small countries, originally vassals of Vara and belong to the countries of the Western Regions, have prosperous trade and are relatively wealthy. "
