Daming Yingtian City.
Inside the imperial city, there were screams accompanied by the screams of Liang Guogong Lan Yu under the punishment of his staff.
The emperor's grandson Zhu Yunxi, who was in charge of the government for the first time, witnessed nearly ten officials present going out to report the same matter.
There are only about a hundred civil and military officials in the court, each divided into half. The people who went out to report were all civil servants, accounting for 20% of the civil servants.
Zhu Yunxi glanced blankly at the chief civil servant, Zhan Hui, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the Censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Most of the civil servants present at the memorial were functional officials of the fifth and sixth grades of various ministries and yamen. As the Minister of Civil Affairs, Zhan Hui was in charge of the court officials.
Facing the civil servants behind him who came out to protest, the grandson released the crown prince and was deposed, and the prince of Guangling was deposed, Zhan Hui also had a headache.
The emperor deposed the prime minister in recent years, and all the ministries and offices in the court were directly responsible to the emperor. This resulted in no one being able to suppress and control the officials in a real sense.
Even though he, Zhan Hui, was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he was also in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Zhan Hui met Zhu Yunxi's gaze with a look of helplessness on his face.
I can't do it!
"Report to the Emperor's Grandson."
"In the fifteenth year of Hongwu's reign, the Crown Princess was personally canonized by His Majesty and entered into the Ming Dynasty clan's treasure register."
The officials who had gone out to report to the class had already stood up and spoke again.
"Now that the Crown Princess passed away suddenly, the imperial court wants to deprive her of the title of Crown Princess and bury her in a different tomb. This is inconsistent with etiquette and law, and inconsistent with the court."
"If I, the Crown Princess of the Ming Dynasty and the king of the clan and county, were deprived of my title, deposed, and passed away without any explanation, how could I be seen by the world and recorded by historians?"
"As ministers of the Ming Dynasty, I should be loyal to the country and assist the monarch of the left and the country. I will never let my Ming Dynasty clan be criticized by future generations for matters of etiquette and law, so as to preserve the mighty imperial power of our Ming Dynasty family."
In full view of the public, these officials had solemn faces and resolute expressions, and they really seemed to be thinking about the Ming Dynasty.
Faced with the scrutiny of the emperor's grandson, they raised their spirits in a deep voice and stated their request again.
"I would like to report to the Emperor's Grandson, please tell me why the Crown Princess passed away and why she was deprived of her title."
"The Prince of Guangling County was not arrogant and disobedient, so why was he deposed and given the title of Prince and imprisoned in the Imperial City of Zhongdu?"
After finishing speaking, these people waved their official robes and knelt on the ground in neat movements.
Zhan Hui and other civil servant leaders, one by one, the two eyebrows on their foreheads were already tangled together, as if they were about to fight.
Zhu Yunxi slowly leaned on the armchair, staring blankly at the dozen or so officials in front of him who wanted to know the truth about Lu and Zhu Yunwen.
He glanced sideways.
Over there, the second uncle, Chang Sheng, was supervising the royal guards and chastising the Duke of Liang, Lan Yu.
It should be enough at this point.
The two imperial guards in imperial robes who were carrying the execution sticks had already put away their wooden sticks and quietly left the place.
Someone else stepped forward, lifted up Lan Yu, who seemed to be dying, and brought him to Zhu Yunxi.
Zhu Yunxi looked at Lan Yu's back and buttocks, which were stained with blood, but the muscles and bones were not broken, and then he nodded and waved his hand.
Chang Sheng raised his hands and ordered Lan Yu to be taken away.
Afterwards, silence fell into silence in front of the palace gate.
Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen, who was huddled in the military commander's column, looked around at the reactions of his colleagues.
"I'll wait and see..."
"Beat your mother!" Cao Zhen roared, interrupting the dozen or so officials who were still trying to speak and urged Zhu Yunxi to give an explanation.
He put his hands on his hips, widened his eyes, glared at the officials, and started to curse loudly.
"A bunch of trash with no eggs!"
Sun Gouer:? ? ?
Cao Zhen continued to curse: "It's just one person who died, so what? I don't see you caring about whether there are any dead people in the place."
"you!"
"Jingchuan Hou!"
The officials who were scolded and scolded all looked sideways and glared at Cao Zhen.
However, Cao Zhen became more and more aggressive in his scolding: "I hate you useless people the most. The Ming Dynasty is full of princes and princes, so what if one of them is deposed. Will the sky of our Ming Dynasty fall down?"
"You guys who harbor evil intentions, do you think that I, Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, can no longer be the master of the country?"
"Still you think the prince will never get better?"
"Or do you think that the emperor's grandson is not enough to supervise the country and uphold the government's affairs?"
Cao Zhen scolded more and more vigorously, and gave these officials big hats one after another.
This is my strongest substitute!
There was some disbelief in Zhu Yunxi's eyes, and he looked energetically at Cao Zhen, who had scolded the civil servants so much that they dared not speak, and felt very satisfied in his heart.
These officials who petitioned were pointed at their noses and scolded by Cao Zhen, and were almost charged with conspiracy.
Suddenly everyone was angry.
He looked up at Cao Zhen, who was scolding him vigorously.
"Jingchuan Marquis, this is the imperial palace, and the emperor's grandson is in front of you. We are playing for state affairs, but you are so presumptuous, disrespectful of etiquette and law, and wantonly framed us!"
"Marquis Jingchuan should not rely on his past achievements to act arrogantly in front of the emperor's grandson."
As they spoke, the group of civil servants immediately turned their guns towards Zhu Yunxi.
"I am reporting to the emperor's grandson that I am impeaching the Marquis of Jingchuan, Cao Zhen. He lost his manners in front of the palace and slandered the court officials. I ask the emperor's grandson to severely punish and discipline him!"
He was originally dissatisfied with the fact that these civil servants wanted to inform him about the true situation in the palace yesterday, but now he saw that these civil servants were confusing right and wrong and engaging in a verbal dispute in front of him.
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
He glanced at Zhan Hui and several other ministers.
Then he asked calmly: "The matter of deposing the crown princess and deposing the king of Guangling County involves the changes in the Ming Dynasty palace yesterday. Everything is decided by your majesty, and you should abide by it. If you continue to slander, you should be held accountable and handed over to the responsible person."
With that said, Zhu Yunxi had already looked at Sun Gou'er, gesturing for him to speak, and dismissed today's Yumen Supervisor.
On the other end, Zhan Hui and the others were already cursing in their hearts. These little bastards didn't have high official positions and didn't know anything else. They just knew how to ask questions every day.
Are they able to interfere with matters in the palace?
Yesterday, when several of them came to see him under the imperial edict, they could clearly see that the blood stains on the steps in front of the main hall had not yet been washed away.
The deposed Guangling County Prince's forehead was covered in blood and flesh, and he was dying.
Fortunately, the emperor's grandson is in charge of the country today. If they were placed in front of His Majesty, these people would definitely be charged with gossiping.
Dismissal from office and seizure of title are light punishments.
They probably saw that the emperor's grandson was supervising the country for the first time, and the priority was to stabilize the government.
But the officials who made the announcement refused to agree.
"The emperor's grandson, ministers, etc..."
"Shut up!" Zhan Hui finally couldn't help it. He turned around after leaving work and glared at these blind fools: "The emperor's grandson has already told you the reason. If you dare to pester me again, I will definitely investigate and wait till the end. What’s your intention!”
In today's dynasty, the emperor is the eldest, and the prince is the second.
This group of officials turned a blind eye to the rebuke from Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Service.
"Zhan Shangshu, we are asking about the etiquette of the country. The Crown Princess and the Prince of Guangling County were involved in yesterday's palace incident, but to what extent were they involved, and why were they deposed?"
"Zhan Shangshu, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and the Yushi of the Zuodu of the Ducha Yuan. You are not concerned about the important affairs of the country, do not share the worries of the monarch, and do not consider the monarch's reputation in history. Are you going to be the treacherous sycophant of Qin Hui's people?"
It is said that a scholar's mouth can curse people to death.
As soon as these officials opened their mouths, they pushed Zhan Hui so hard that he trembled all over.
Although he is not as good as that famous official with a long history, he has been an official for many years, but he is still diligent. How could Zhan Hui not be annoyed when he was called a treacherous minister like Qin Hui by these little bastards?
His eyes turned red and he stretched out his hand: "My officer! My officer..."
"How come? Is Shangshu Zhan going to use his power for personal gain in front of the emperor's grandson? Or is he going to frame the loyal people of the court in this imperial city?"
Zhan Hui was already trembling with anger.
His face turned livid: "You are outrageous! You are really outrageous! Analyze deceitful words and use forceful words to make sense!"
Zhu Yunxi was also angry at this time.
This group of officials have been aggressive to each other again and again. Do they really think that the old man and the prince are in trouble?
He stood up slowly, and walked step by step to the court train under the watchful eyes of all the officials.
He looked at these officials quietly: "You guys, do you want to cry out for the deposed crown princess and the deposed king of Guangling County?"
Faced with Zhu Yunxi's questioning, these people's expressions changed.
"Your Majesty, wait..."
"Hmph!" Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly: "Why do you want to know about the affairs of the country and the heavenly family? Do you want to make decisions for my family?"
"minister……"
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand and interrupted the explanations of these officials again: "If I don't give an explanation, will you even impeach me?"
Zhu Yunxi always maintained a calm expression, but his tone was extremely stern, and every word was heartbreaking.
The officials were completely panicked.
Only then did they remember that just now the emperor's grandson had even ordered his uncles and grandfathers to be beaten until they were on the verge of death, without knowing whether they were alive or dead.
Plop.
In panic, these officials knelt on the ground and apologized.
"I don't dare!"
"I'll be damned!"
"I will never dare to interfere in the affairs of the Tian Family."
At this point, they still want to continue to explain their behavior today.
"I just didn't know the details in advance and were afraid that the reputation of our Ming Dynasty clan would be disgraced, so I just made the request."
"I have been waiting for ten thousand deaths. Please forgive me, the great grandson of the Emperor..."
Zhu Yunxi's eyes twitched and he said coldly: "How can I forgive my sins if I die ten thousand times?"
His indifferent words immediately made the officials who were still explaining themselves feel weak.
Will the emperor's grandson also uphold the emperor's style?
Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan on the side, looked at him with stars in his eyes. He felt that the emperor's grandson was still the emperor's grandson after all. Just a few sentences were far more than his long curses.
The generals even looked at him with excitement and admiration.
This is the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty!
The grandson of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty should be so arrogant, making decisions about the country with every word and deed, and frightening the disloyal heart of the court!
On the other hand, Zhao Mian, the Minister of Household Affairs, was shocked. He hurried out of class and tried to intercede for the officials who had petitioned him: "I would like to report to the grandson of the emperor..."
"Your Majesty has a will!"
However, a voice suddenly came from behind the palace door, interrupting Zhao Mian's plea.
Zhu Yunxi was slightly surprised and turned around to look over.
I saw a young eunuch, holding an imperial edict high in his hand, and walked quickly in front of the officials.
Zhu Yunxi keenly noticed that Zhan Hui, the commander of the Jinyi Guards who had been waiting by the side and never left, suddenly flashed a murderous look on his face after seeing the eunuch who came out holding the imperial edict.
The little eunuch first saluted Zhu Yunxi respectfully.
"This slave is here to see the Emperor's grandson."
Zhu Yunxi nodded and motioned for the other party to continue.
The young eunuch's face perked up and he looked blankly at the officials kneeling in front of Zhu Yunxi.
"Your Majesty said that there have been some minor incidents in Yingtian recently, and the court is still stable. However, some people do not want to serve the Ming Dynasty, and their words and deeds are disobedient. At the time of the turmoil of the country, they are acting like flies and dogs, seeking personal gain. Order the Jinyi Guards to command the envoy Jiang Hu, arrest these treacherous and disobedient people immediately, send them to Jinyiweizhao Prison, and interrogate them according to the order of the Lord!"
Finished speaking the will.
The officials who were kneeling on the ground immediately collapsed to the ground.
But the little eunuch took out another booklet.
"Zhao Fenglu, the head of the Ministry of Personnel."
"Zuo Canlin, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice."
"..."
"Zhang Baidu of Dali Temple."
"..."
