Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

"Your Majesty, wasn't Mr. Wange ordered to serve as an official by you yesterday?" Ni Yue, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, hesitated for a moment, then broke the silence and said.

The kneeling officials looked up at Zhu Youtang in confusion, but they didn't understand what Zhu Youtang was singing. He was obviously the one who drove people away, so why did he find people now?

Besides, there’s always something to look for in that paper-paste pavilion in Wan’an. If you lose it, just throw it away. I can actually do the job.

Zhu Youtang's face darkened, and he immediately reprimanded Ni Yue: "You are so impudent, Mr. Ni, please don't confuse the public with your monstrous words. When did I say that I would order Mr. Wange to serve?"

this……

Yu Zijun, Minister of the Ministry of War, and others were dumbfounded, but they did not understand what the problem was.

"Your Majesty, it was known to you that Mr. Wange entered the room and performed magic tricks on the late emperor. It is only natural that you ordered him to become an official!" Ye Qi, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, saw that something was wrong, but still came to support him.

Zhu Youtang's face became more and more ugly, and he looked even more angry: "Why am I the only one in the whole dynasty who is kept in the dark? When did Mr. Wange ask the late emperor to practice magic, and when did I order Mr. Wange to become an official? "

"Your Majesty, are you really unaware of this?" Liu Ji realized that the throne of chief minister he had just obtained was about to fly away, and he held his aching chest to prove it.

In fact, not to mention Liu Ji and others, even Li Yu, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Du Ming, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, looked at Zhu Youtang with confusion. This thing suddenly became weird.

Zhu Youtang took a deep breath and resolutely said with an uninformed look: "I did find a book presented to the late emperor by Wan'an in a small basket yesterday. However, this book is actually a booklet. It records the affairs of the courtiers. It contains the number of times the courtiers went to Jiaofangsi and the names of the women they liked. Although this can prove whether the courtiers are true and false gentlemen and facilitate the late emperor to appoint good ministers, it is not the right way, so I express my condolences. En went to Wenyuan Pavilion to give instructions, and at the same time handed over the memorial for the impeachment of Ke Dao Yanguan yesterday, warning Mr. Wange to specialize in government affairs!"

ah?

When the officials present heard the whole story, they could not help but look at each other in shock as they realized that it was not the Fang Zhongshu who was involved in yesterday's event.

"Your Majesty, Hua En Jiao issued an edict. Yesterday, he seized Wange Laoya's card and drove Wange Lao out of the palace. It was raining at that time!" Upon seeing this, Zhou Hongmo, the Minister of Rites, immediately stood up and cried out the truth.

False edict?

Yu Zijun, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and others couldn't help but touch their necks. This was a serious crime that required beheading, and even Wynn's family had to face a second implication.

"How dare Huai En correct the imperial edict? I'll kill him!" Zhu Youtang saw that the heat was coming and immediately made the decision with a stern face.

Xu Pu was secretly surprised and hurriedly winked at Ni Yue, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites.

Ni Yue, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, knew that Huai En was their most important ally, so he immediately stood up to stop him and said: "Your Majesty, no!"

"Shilang Ni, why not?" Zhu Youtang asked suppressing his anger when he saw that Huai'en had indeed been hooked up with these civil servants.

Ni Yue, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, swallowed his saliva and immediately gave out the reason for the rescue: "Your Majesty, the false edict may be just a misunderstanding! What's more, the late emperor wanted to abolish the crown prince and establish a king, but fortunately Huai'en stopped him. Only then did I give up the idea of ​​abolishing Chu. If your majesty kills Hua En today, people in the world will definitely say that your majesty is ungrateful and an unjust king!"

Xu Pu couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Huaien had to go to Fengyang to guard the mausoleum again this time, he was finally able to save his life through this matter, and he was able to repay Huaien's favor for so many years.

"The late emperor wanted to abolish the crown prince and establish a king. Who is spreading rumors here?" Zhu Youtang had just accumulated anger because of the matter of forcing thousands of officials to force the palace, and now he vented his anger.

No...

The officials present were dumbfounded again. Didn't this matter already spread to the public?

"Who is spreading rumors about such a ridiculous thing? None of the officials questioned me. Do you think that I have no virtue to make the king worthy?" Zhu Youtang looked at the dumbfounded officials and asked again.

As he expected, things eventually came back to this controversial point.

Many officials present originally believed it. After all, they believed that there were benefits to abolishing the reserve. But after hearing Zhu Youtang's question, they couldn't help but re-examine the rumor.

Abolition of a crown prince has never been a trivial matter. Did the wise Emperor Chenghua really want to abolish a filial prince and replace him with Prince Xing, who was less than ten years old at the time?

Ni Yue, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, frowned slightly and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the matter of abolishing the crown prince was very complicated back then, but it is indeed true! Fortunately, Huai En protected him, and Your Majesty was able to keep his position as the crown prince, so you cannot be so kind. Kill!"

Huh?

Li Yu, the Minister of Personnel, turned to look at Ni Yue. Although he knew that Ni Yue wanted to use the incident of abolishing the reserve to save Huaien's life, this statement was not necessarily too exaggerated.

Not to mention whether what happened back then was true or false, even if His Majesty really had the idea of ​​abolishing the throne, all the ministers in the court would still stand up to protect him.

If you insist that Huaien has kept Zhu Youtang's position as crown prince, this is obviously an attempt to slap gold on Huaien's face, not to mention that Huaien is essentially just a dog beside Emperor Chenghua.

"I respect the late emperor and my father. The late emperor cared for me very much. He conferred me the title of East Palace at the age of six. Since then, he has taught me the art of the emperor. Where did this matter of abolishing the crown prince come from? Today, we will not discuss matters in the morning. Let's abolish this matter first. Let’s talk about Chu’s matter clearly!” Zhu Youtang saw that the flaw had been revealed, so he seized on this matter and prepared to use it as an excuse.

The thousands of officials kneeling on the ground couldn't help but look at each other. The tacit agreement they had finally reached to force the palace together ended up being easily resolved by the young emperor.

It is said that when the new prince was the prince, he was timid and cowardly. He hid in a cupboard for a time and did not dare to show himself to others. He was also dull-minded, but he was clearly a scheming little fox!

Xu Pu and Liu Ji couldn't help but sigh secretly, realizing that they had underestimated the young emperor's skills early on, and the dominance was suddenly taken away by Zhu Youtang.

Ni Yue's enthronement favor earlier was cancelled, and now he was finally in the limelight and was easily resolved by Zhu Youtang. He couldn't help but said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the matter of the opening banquet just discussed has not been finalized yet, we should make a final decision first." Let’s discuss other things!”

Ye Qi and others saw that Ni Yue wanted to bother with the Jingyan matter, so they couldn't help but secretly observe Zhu Youtang's reaction.

Although there was an accident in Huai'en's case, if Zhu Youtang can be forced to resume the Sutra Banquet and Riyue this time, it can be regarded as a great victory for their civil servant group.

"Shilang Ni, if I don't come to a conclusion now and don't agree with the opening of the Sutra banquet, what will you do?" Zhu Youtang actually dared to force himself and asked in a deep voice.

Ni Yue knew that he had really lost if he gave in, and immediately responded forcefully: "If this is the case, I am all wrong, and your Majesty is not a virtuous king!"

"Come here, take off the black gauze hat of Minister Ni. He doesn't respect me as a king, and I don't need a minister like him!" Zhu Youtang stopped being polite and immediately showed his fangs.

The reason for his long-standing forbearance is not that he has no temper at all, but that he knows that killing at every turn is the behavior of elementary school students. A truly mature politician should pursue goals rather than simple pleasure.

Now that it has been determined that people like Ni Yue are only seeking fame and fortune, and are still thinking of going against the emperor himself, what else do I want to do with him?

When Yu Zijun, Secretary of the Ministry of War, and other officials saw Zhu Youtang directly dismissing Ni Yue from office, they finally realized that the prince who was rumored to like hiding in the closet was not so harmless, but a ruthless young emperor with decisive methods.

The morning fog has dispersed unconsciously, and the image of the young emperor above appears clearer.

Ni Yue looked at Guo Yong who was walking towards him with two Jinyi guards, and finally felt scared in his heart.

Who wouldn't like fame and fortune? It took him more than twenty years to reach the position of right minister of the Ministry of Rites, but now he is about to evaporate before his eyes.

Although his actions today can gain him a great reputation in the scholarly community, compared with the power he has in the court, he will undoubtedly lose too much.

Xu Pu couldn't help but sigh to himself, and found that Ni Yue was still too impulsive in doing things. After all, Zhu Youtang did have reason to prioritize the old affairs of the time when he was appointed as the heir apparent.

Ni Yue saw his black gauze hat being taken off, as if his favorite toy had been robbed, and finally said angrily to Zhu Youtang: "Your Majesty, you are ungrateful to Huai'en, and you don't know the etiquette of your ministers. Let's talk today. Deposed Sutra Banquet, if the Ming Dynasty has an emperor like you, how can it be immortal!"

this……

The officials present heard Ni Yue so blatantly accuse Zhu Youtang. Although they felt very happy, they also felt that Ni Yue's words were too much.

The Ming Dynasty has an emperor like you, how can it be immortal? The more serious crime is that you have no emperor and father.

"I understand, it's not that the late emperor wanted to abolish the throne, but that you now want to establish a king! I am sitting at Fengtian Gate today. Are you afraid that there is collusion between inside and outside? Come and seize the gate now!" Zhu Youtang He leaned back and said something shockingly authentic.

As soon as these words came out, the officials were shocked. This "seizing the door" is not something that can be said casually, and even thousands of officials cannot bear this crime! No matter how playful you are, you can't play so big, right?
