Who could compare to Ren Hengtai, the dignified Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, who was known for his legacy as an ancient gentleman, to be exposed to such behavior in full view of the public.
Looking at the gold bricks that had begun to change color, everyone began to feel that Zhou Yutai and his gang had gone too far today!
Ren Hengtai did not stop crying, and regardless of the fact that he was wearing a genuine court dress, he held his sleeves and stretched out his hand to wipe his face.
Now, the old man's tears were like a torrent of tears.
"I came from Xiangyang. I was a tribute member of Jiazhi in the 17th year of Hongwu, and a member of the imperial examination in Dingmao in the 20th year. In the 21st year of the Wuchen imperial examination, your Majesty personally read it and praised me for his "clear countermeasures and taking the world as his own responsibility", and ordered him to be promoted. Wuchenke was the first Jinshi, and was awarded the title of Hanlin Compiler. He also 'promoted inscriptions and established stone prison gates'. The first archway of Enke Jinshi in Ming Dynasty started with Chen."
"I don't dare to forget His Majesty's holy grace. I work diligently and conscientiously, lest I have one day's leisure and my Majesty's expectations will come true. Last year, the two envoys of the Japanese Kingdom were sent to me as soon as I knew it. In order to plan for the country and the country, I just allowed them to enter the court. Now I am the general who has suppressed the Japanese, and has declared my power over the Japanese country."
"I don't dare to ask for credit, it's all my duty. However, the imperial censor Zuo Qian of the Imperial Court gathered with his colleagues in the court, without asking the reasons or arguing about the matter. All kinds of accusations were piled on me. I felt like a gleam on my back. I don't know. He has actually become a person who committed a heinous crime."
Ren Hengtai's face was beyond recognition, and his whole face was covered with tears and snot.
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but admire this old man's ability and acting skills from the bottom of his heart.
No wonder he was the first scholar in the Ming Dynasty who was ordered to build an archway, and he was the only scholar in Xiangyang in the Ming Dynasty.
The No. 1 scholar's brain was very easy to use. With just a few words, he could clearly explain the old man's divine favor to him. In the end, it was a backhand attack. Taking advantage of the opportunity of the imperial court to reprimand the Japanese country Ashikaga Yoshimichi last year, the Ming Dynasty sent Cao Guogong Li Jinglong as the general to suppress the Japanese country and sent troops to the Japanese country.
Zhou Yutai, the imperial censor of Zuo Qiandu of the General Procuratorate, and his entourage were insinuated to be those who share the same party and oppose those who are different.
Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but look at Zhao Mian, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, who was at the front of the civil service train, side by side with Zhan Hui, and searched the crowd for Liu Sanwu, a member of the Zhongshushe.
Now, Ren Hengtai has brought the atmosphere of today's drama to its climax, but I don't know when these people will take action themselves.
However.
Zhu Yunxi, and even Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang behind him, had not yet spoken.
Under everyone's gaze, Ren Hengtai raised his hands and took off the black gauze hat with slanted wings on his head. With a look of injustice on his face, he carefully placed the official hat beside him.
Then Ren Hengtai raised his hands high in the air, and then he leaned heavily on the cold gold bricks of the Zhongji Palace.
"I am impeached by many colleagues in the court this time. I am not wrong, but I am also wrong. The emperor has a great command, and I dare not live up to the holy grace. I am also a guilty person, and I dare not steal the gifts given by the emperor. I am begging for the bones. , I only hope that your majesty will allow me to retire and return to my hometown, where I can spend my remaining years in the countryside of Xiangyang and enjoy my grandchildren."
Long live!
This old man actually wants to beg for his bones and return home!
Ren Hengtai, who was impeached by dozens of censors and officials, once again subverted everyone's assumptions when his howling made everyone's eyes almost pop out.
He actually took off his official hat naked and began to resort to resigning.
Even Zhou Yutai, the censor of Zuoqiandu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who was standing at the front of the censor's mouth, could not help but twitch his eyebrows when he heard Ren Hengtai started begging for the bones.
Things seem to be developing unexpectedly.
In fact, the phrase "even if there is nothing wrong, there is still something wrong" is too scary.
If Ren Hengtai's remarks were followed, what should the emperor think?
Could it be that these people have joined forces to keep themselves warm, and they really want to unite the party and oppose dissent, and kill Zhongliang in the court? The forced people have done nothing wrong, so they can only beg for their bones and return home.
Love reading books
Zhan Hui, who had just met Ren Hengtai last night and gave him some pointers, was also shocked at this moment.
He thought that Ren Hengtai would follow his instructions and confront Zhou Yutai and the others. But he didn't expect that Ren Hengtai not only retorted, but also turned Zhou Yutai and others into sympathizers.
Who are the people who can be driven out of the party and oppose dissenters?
Those are all big traitors!
Zhao Mian also turned around silently, glanced at Liu Sanwu, a member of Zhongshushe, who was standing in the train, and immediately lowered his head.
He was hesitating, should he go out and speak for Ren Hengtai at this time?
Speaking for Ren Hengtai at this time can prevent Zhou Yutai and others from being severely punished by His Majesty, and can also quietly suppress the remarks of those who are partisan and opposed to dissidents.
However, just when he was about to take a step forward.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had been overlooking the entire court, was already looking faintly at Ren Hengtai, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, who was kneeling on the gold bricks and begging for his body.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled softly: "You Xiangyang Ren! Do you want us to have one less number one scholar in our court?"
The emperor didn't say anything else, just this seemingly joke.
But everyone in the Zhongji Palace didn't know that the emperor had always had great trust in the number one scholar from Xiangyang. It was precisely because of this trust and expectation that he never mentioned Ren Hengtai's name on weekdays, but instead used the name Ren Hengtai. Xiangyang was appointed as the crown prince.
In the second half of the sentence, there is one less champion.
It has even been implicitly pointed out that the current court of the Ming Dynasty cannot be without the presence of Ren Hengtai.
Ren Hengtai breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, his own method was better than the old man Zhan Hui's idea.
But he didn't even wait for him to say thanks.
Zhao Mian and Liu Sanwu in the civil service train did not wait to plead for Zhou Yutai and others.
Zhu Yunxi, who was standing on the steps, stood up silently after the old man and his father exchanged glances.
He waved his robe and coughed slightly, attracting the attention of the whole court to himself.
Immediately, I saw him speaking quietly: "Last year, when the Japanese state entered the imperial court, I was responsible for it. What I did was to make my great master famous. This time, I, the great general of the great Ming Dynasty, will lead the troops to control the Japanese state and stabilize the Japanese state." The Japanese court can be called a teacher of benevolence and righteousness!"
After confirming the Ming Dynasty's decision to send troops to Japan, Zhu Yunxi continued: "I never told the matter to the court, but it was because you and other officials and censors were unable to explore the details, and then there was this controversy in the court. I am the Minister Ren. The number one scholar in the 21st year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty is the Xiangyang Ren that Your Majesty relies heavily on. You are also our indispensable ministers in the Ming Dynasty. They are all for the Ming Dynasty and the world."
At this point, Zhu Yunxi was unwilling to speak.
Suppressing what happened today, but not crushing it to death, so that these people can continue to fight in another way, is the effect Zhu Yunxi hopes to achieve.
On the steps, Crown Prince Zhu Biao moved his legs and feet that were starting to feel numb. Today's scene has come to an end, and the next scene will have to wait for the people in front of him to rehearse.
On the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang stretched and stood up.
"Since the great grandson has said so, we will listen to the great grandson."
"Our family has cooked a few new foods today. If we don't leave any food, you all can go back."
The old emperor is always so concise and to the point.
With one word, all the court officials were driven away.
Zhou Yutai and others, who were originally worried about whether they would be labeled as crony and punished, suddenly felt at ease, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The three elders and grandsons of the old Zhu family who were watching the play had quietly disappeared into the Zhongji Hall.
The ministers looked around and felt that today's war suddenly became a little boring, a little dangerous, but also a little unfinished.
The humble officials left the Zhongji Hall at a quick pace.
The elders of the court who were left behind were in small groups, all of them strolling out of the Zhongji Hall with their hands in their sleeves.
The atmosphere is very subtle.
Most people knew that today's debate would not end with a few words from the emperor's grandson.
No one has reached their goal, and no one will give up until the goal is accomplished.
…
However, three days later.
Just when some people were racking their brains and preparing to launch a new round of impeachment in the court.
Suddenly an imperial edict was issued from the palace, passing through the General Affairs Department and the Pingren Department, and informed the entire court.
The decree is very simple. From now on, the imperial censors and officials of the Ming Dynasty are not allowed to speak on the wind. Everything must be prosecuted based on evidence, and no impeachment is allowed without evidence.
For a time, hundreds of officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to the Sixth Section and then to the court were running to hold discussions.
Who would have known that just because of an impeachment a few days ago, the emperor would squeeze the power of the censors and officials.
Yet no one could find fault with it.
The Emperor Taisun had already made it clear that day that he personally accounted for the appearance of the second Japanese envoy last year, and it was the Emperor's Grandson's fault that he did not notice. But they used this matter to impeach Ren Hengtai, making this matter the fault of their censors and officials.
No one dared to sue the old emperor and ask for his original power again.
Because no one knows whether the emperor will also seize on this matter and give them a heads-up once they report it.
…
But for Zhu Yunxi these days, it was extremely comfortable, so much so that a whole month later, he was still thinking about those censors and officials who spent the whole day impeaching people just because of one thing. Shit expression.
And during this month, Zhu Yunxi did not stop.
I visited Laoshan Huangzhuang several times and the crops in the fields were growing very well.
In the open space behind the Hanlin Academy, a bookstore and newspaper were also being built at the fastest speed.
An area with the most convenient transportation was also selected in the West City. The engineering department of the brigade and the craftsmen who would serve as supervisors set out there to build the military academy that had not yet been given a final name.
Busy in various places, Zhu Yunxi went to Shanglinyuan Prison from time to time, and most of the time he stayed in the General Prison, hiding in the workshop with the craftsmen in charge of ordnance manufacturing there all day long.
Strictly speaking, hiding in a gunpowder workshop.
Nowadays, the gunpowder workshop that the general oversees consumes huge amounts of egg whites and frosting sugar that is worth gold every day.
Just as a new court battle was brewing in Yingtian City, the post station on the official road outside Yingtian City was already working hard to send the news that King Yan of Yan had entered the capital under the imperial edict to the palace.
The fourth son of the Zhu family, King Yan Zhu Di, has arrived outside Yingtian City!
