Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

Seizing the gate, naturally refers to the seizing of the gate by the courtiers who helped the Yingzong to restore the throne, and what they seized was the Fengtian Gate in front of them.

When the court officials took advantage of Daizong's illness, Xu Youzhen, deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, came forward. With the assistance of eunuchs Cao Jixiang and Shi Heng, a bloodless coup was finally completed.

Now that Zhu Youtang is openly throwing it out, it naturally means that the courtiers will imitate the internal and external cooperation of Xu Youzhen, Shi Heng, Cao Jixiang and others, put Zhu Youtang, the emperor, under house arrest, and support the Xingwang Zhu Youtang instead.

Although the Xingwang Zhu Youtang does not have the legitimacy of the Yingzong throne, he is indeed the first successor after Zhu Youtang. Combined with the abolition of the reserve advocated by Huai En and others, there is really room for maneuver here. .

Zhu Youtang now accuses the ministers of "stealing the door". It can be said that he has directly exposed Wang Zha and put himself on the yellow level four alert as the emperor.

It is said that the Wardrobe Prince has no political acumen, but at this moment the courtier's brain was buzzing.

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of seizing the door, but your Majesty, please take a closer look!" Liu Ji immediately knelt down and said when he saw that things were completely out of control.

Ni Yue knew that this was his last political performance. Whether it was for reputation or the resentment in his stomach, he still refused to give in and said: "King Xing is talented, smart, humble and studious. Your Majesty will be deposed as soon as he ascends the throne." The banquet is not as good as Xingwang!"

At this time, please stop talking!

The courtiers who were about to persuade Zhu Youtang not to blame him randomly heard that Ni Yue was still accusing him and mentioned King Xing again. They suddenly looked at the two hundred and fifty with complicated eyes.

"Prince Xing is wise, but I am a foolish emperor. Some of your civil servants probably like emperors like Prince Xing, right? It's just that you have acted too hastily. I haven't fallen ill yet. I am still sitting at Fengtian Gate today. Where are my loyal ministers and good generals?" What Zhu Youtang wanted to do was to stir up trouble, even if he used the topic to act authentically.

"I'm here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the civil and military officials present responded one after another.

"Whoever dares to seize the door must first pass the test of the prince of the country!"

"Yes! Whoever colludes with others to commit rebellion will have to wait until they pass this test!"

"You, all civil servants, must be punished. No matter how wise King Xing is, your Majesty is now the Son of Heaven!"

…

The British Duke Zhang Mao, who had just been fined, was the first to jump out. The other nobles saw the hope of political speculation and immediately responded.

Although they don't believe that civil servants dare to seize the door, if civil servants' arrogance can be suppressed, then it will be the day when their martial arts will come to the fore.

As for the truth, does it matter?

This group of civil servants has been playing tricks and tricks. They want His Majesty to guard against his relatives, nobles and royal relatives. They have even been advocating that internal officials should not interfere in politics. They just want to control the government themselves.

"Someone is trying to seize the door, protect him!" Liu Jin also left Ni Yue behind and ran back to Fengtian Gate in panic and ordered.

A group of royal guards and powerful eunuchs appeared one after another, guarding Zhu Youtang as if they were faced with a formidable enemy, resolutely treating all the civil and military officials present as imaginary enemies.

this……

Seeing this posture, Ni Yue finally realized that things were a little different, but it was clearly Zhu Youtang who was making a fuss out of a molehill, and he wanted to take the opportunity to defuse their civil servants from joining forces to force the palace.

"I have no intention of seizing the door, but your Majesty, please take a closer look!"

Xu Pu was very troubled by Ni Yue's remarks. The most important thing now was not the Jingyan, but to explain clearly the accusation of seizing the door, that is, to submit softly to Zhu Youtang.

"Ni Yue, who are your accomplices?" Zhu Youtang naturally wanted to take the opportunity to cause trouble and immediately asked Ni Yue.

Ni Yue had already been caught by two Jinyi guards. Hearing this, he said matter-of-factly: "If it's about the opening of the Sutra banquet, all civil and military officials in the dynasty will be my accomplices!"

"Your Majesty, I am not a party member of Ni Yue!"

"Your Majesty, Ni Yue is spitting blood, and I am not his accomplice!"

"Your Majesty, the matter of the banquet is my own thought. I am definitely not an accomplice with Ni Yue. Your Majesty, please be aware of this!"

…

All the civil and military officials present did not dare to accept the invitation even if they were "comrades in the banquet". Now, Ni Yue was like a man suffering from the plague, but they all drew a clear line.

"Are you a party to the Manchu Dynasty? If I don't agree to reopen the Sutra Feast today, I will be a king whose virtue is not worthy of his position. This dragon chair should be seated by King Xing, right?" Zhu Youtang said to these officials Mingzhe Baoshen saw this and asked jokingly.

Liu Ji knew that the reopening of the Sutra Banquet would no longer allow for persecution, so he immediately made it clear: "I have no such intention!"

"Are you really not? You use the excuse that the late emperor abolished the throne, and I don't agree to reopen the Sutra banquet today, which is foolish and unethical. Then you can justifiably support King Xing and seize the door!" Zhu Youtang looked like a statue. Having seen through their conspiracy, he told the story of the planning process for seizing the door.

After listening to what Zhu Youtang said, some officials found that "the former emperor abolished the crown prince" and "supported the establishment of the king" can really be connected, and they couldn't help but secretly thought: Is there really someone who wants to seize the throne?

"Your Majesty, there must be some traitor behind the abolition of the crown prince. I never heard that the late emperor had such an idea back then!"

"Your Majesty, I have never heard of this. Your Majesty was extremely filial and tolerant back then. How could the late emperor have such thoughts?"

"Your Majesty, the matter of abolishing the crown prince must be a random fabrication by a villain. I beg you to hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment to find out so that the conspiracy of the traitor can be foiled!"

…

Some of the civil servants present discovered that the crux of the problem was "the late emperor abolished the throne". If this confusing account could be clarified, Zhu Youtang would be freed from the accusation of seizing the door, so they all stood up and expressed their opinions.

After all, they can't benefit from "protecting the reserve", and the "waste reserve" back then is indeed only heard about but not seen, and it is even possible that someone actually spread rumors.

British Duke Zhang Mao and other nobles knew that the fire could not burn them, so they stood aside silently and watched the show.

"This is strange and strange. Since the matter of abolishing the Chu was groundless, why did Ni Yue still say it with certainty? Ni Yue, you said that the late emperor wanted to abolish the Chu, but luckily he protected Huai En to protect the positions of all the kings. Back then, Have you seen it with your own eyes?" Zhu Youtang saw that things had come around and looked at Ni Yue and asked.

Please stop talking nonsense!

The officials present had just experienced twists and turns one after another, and the goal-scoring conductor was all thanks to this 250, so they all turned to look at the pig teammate and begged.

Ni Yue didn't speak nonsense this time, but he answered with his head held high: "I didn't see it with my own eyes!"

"Then you have heard about this matter. I wonder who you heard it from? Don't tell me that it is just anecdotal information. If you dare to fool me like this, I will kill you now!" Zhu Youtang naturally knew that Ni Yue was impossible. When he saw it with his own eyes, he gave a warning.

The officials present also began to reminisce, and many officials discovered that the matter of waste storage was actually a topic of conversation after dinner, and the whole matter had no real origin at all.

Ni Yue thought for a moment and then revealed the truth: "I heard about this from Huang Jing, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites!"

When the officials present heard this, they couldn't help but look at Huang Jing, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, who had always been very low-key, with pity, not wanting to be involved in this turmoil.

"Huang Shilang, you said that the late emperor wanted to depose me, but you saw it with your own eyes?" Zhu Youtang naturally wanted to continue tracing the source, so he looked at the team of officials from the Ministry of Rites and asked.

Huang Jing greeted Ni Yue's mother in his heart, and immediately went out to report: "Your Majesty, I didn't see it with my own eyes, but I heard others talk about it, so I mentioned this to Ni Yue that day!"

"Who is this person?" Zhu Youtang asked with great interest when he noticed that all the officials were very frightened.

The officials present who had no interaction with Huang Jing knew that Huang Jing, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, was about to die, but they were all curious about who would be the next unlucky person.

Zhou Hongmo, the Minister of Etiquette, noticed that Huang Jing was looking at him and expressed strong greetings to Huang Jing's mother in his heart. He took the initiative to go out and said: "Your Majesty, I didn't see it with my own eyes. I just said something to Huang Jing when we were drinking that day. I don't think about him." You actually take this statement seriously?”

The officials present found that he was indeed the Minister of Rites, and his speaking skills were obviously higher than Huang Jing's, but they seemed unable to change his unlucky fate.

Xu Pu looked at Zhou Hongmo secretly, but gave him a stern look.

When Zhou Hongmo faced Zhu Youtang's questioning, he responded bravely: "Your Majesty, this person is Xie Yikui, Minister of the Ministry of Industry!"

All the officials turned to look at the team at the Ministry of Industry, only to see that the leader was not Xie Yikui but Jia Jun, and then they remembered that Xie Yikui had already retired.
