Zhu Houzhao roughly knew that civil servants would react.
This is a feeling. If Zhu Di was the one who killed him, he would not have this feeling, but who said this was Hongzhi?
The most important minister of the Ming Dynasty knelt on the ground, but the protagonist was Zhou Jing, the Minister of Household Affairs.
The old man talked sadly for a long time, and Zhu Houzhao finally understood.
All the reasons they said can be summed up in two words - anxious.
I guess I feel really uncomfortable because of what he did these few times. As an old saying goes, it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. I used to be a minister of Hongzhi and it was really extravagant. Later historians also severely criticized Ming Xiaozong for being too cowardly in front of his courtiers. Not so now.
"...Your Majesty, since ancient times, there have been few times when monarchs and ministers were jealous and the world prospered, and few times when monarchs and ministers were in harmony with each other, which led to the ruin of the world. I only hope that your majesty will be wise!"
Zhu Houzhao listened carefully to Mr. Zhou's last few words with his ears straightened up. After listening, he couldn't believe that he could find such an angle!
His fists were secretly clenched,
He had told Hongzhi a long time ago that these people were actually not that bad. They also had their own justice and truth in their hearts, but they were very bullying and stared at the emperor every day.
This is still a peaceful and prosperous time. If there is any trouble somewhere, it may be said that the emperor did not follow the way of the sage and Mingjun.
Emperor Hongzhi was already annoyed by Zhou Jing. After hearing what he said, his head was buzzing, so he asked, "What is the jealousy of the emperor and his ministers that Zhou Aiqing mentioned? Shouldn't I investigate those ministers who took away the fields?"
The upright Mr. Zhou replied: "Of course your Majesty should investigate them!"
"Then didn't I do this?"
"What I mean is that Your Majesty has already made a decision in his mind...but he has to wait..."
"Your Majesty," Li Dongyang was afraid that these "daring" guys would say disrespectful things like "Your Majesty, you have taken advantage of Cheng Minzheng", so he quickly opened his mouth and added, "Shang Shu has always been an outspoken person and prone to anger. His majesty is also aware of his irritability. What Lord Zhou means is..."
"Mr. Li Ge." Zhu Houzhao hates these people covering for each other in front of you. What does this mean? Join forces to cheat?
It’s okay for officials to protect each other and do things behind their backs, but they still do it in front of their faces.
"I am here." Li Dongyang saluted the prince.
"What Master Zhou has to say, please let Master Zhou finish. My father is a benevolent king, so what are you worried about?"
Li Dongyang was stunned.
Hongzhi never said or did anything like this to suddenly contradict them.
"yes."
"Master Zhou, please tell me."
Zhou Jing is a person like Hai Rui, and he has never been afraid of death.
Just say it!
His grandma was stopped that day, and she almost suffocated him to death after holding it in for two nights!
"Your Majesty! I am not saying that those corrupt officials should not be punished, but since your Majesty came to the throne, when has your Majesty ever dealt with erring ministers as severely as today? Moreover, arresting people only lasted one night, and interrogating them only took two days before they were convicted and killed. It shocked the world. It coincides with the events of King Qi and King Yong. Wouldn’t your Majesty do this to make people feel that he is venting his personal anger? Your Majesty has failed to behave like an upright gentleman. If things go on like this, your Majesty and his ministers will be in trouble. Believe it or not, the government is in turmoil!”….
Emperor Hongzhi had heard harsh words, but he was still the emperor after all. Where had he ever seen someone say so bluntly that he was unbecoming of a gentleman? !
For a moment, everyone else was shocked. They raised their arms and pointed at Zhou Jing tremblingly, "You, you are so presumptuous!"
Zhu Hou looked at his face and turned red. He was a little worried about what he would do with his anger, so he quickly advised him: "Father, calm down! Father, calm down!"
Bang bang!
Zhou Jing kowtowed to the ground, "The relationship between you and your majesty as king and minister has been determined. I am sincere to your majesty. If you are not overly worried, you should never have made such remarks in front of your father! It is your sin. , Death is hard to redeem, I just hope that Your Majesty can gather his mind of calculation and follow the path of governing the country!"
"Still talking! Could it be that I have punished a few corrupt officials and this is not the right thing to do?" Emperor Hongzhi
Emperor asked sharply!
"I don't dare!"
"I see you...cough cough cough." Emperor Hongzhi seemed to be so angry that he lost his breath.
Zhu Houzhao was so frightened that he jumped.
He actually thinks it's pretty good to have such a warm-hearted father, so don't let anything happen to you.
"Father! Father! Eunuch Xiao, bring me a glass of water."
The kneeling ministers also said in unison: "Your Majesty, please calm down! The dragon body is important!"
Hongzhi waved his hand and rejected Eunuch Xiao's hot tea. He was thinking about what the prince had said to him, that these ministers were always ready to criticize the emperor.
But the Ming Dynasty was so big, could all the bad things be done by the emperor alone?
"Huh...huh..." Zhu Houzhao patted his father on the back. He was clearly not yet thirty, but it made him feel like he had taken care of his fifty-year-old father in his previous life.
"Zhao'er," the emperor bent his upper body and spoke in an angry voice.
"My son is here."
"Will you go back first?"
Zhu Houzhao was stunned.
Why would you ask him to go back?
When the incident involving King Qi and King Yong happened, he was asked to come over specifically to give advice. Now that he was faced with this situation, he was actually asked to go back first?
It's a little strange.
But for him, who is good at understanding people's hearts, it is actually not difficult to imagine.
The emperor asked him to go back... probably to protect him,
Looking at today's situation, the key issue that ministers are concerned about is the way this incident is handled.
And Hongzhi knew that all of this, whether it was delaying and waiting, or the subsequent ruthlessness and speed, were all done by the prince.
The emperor probably knew Zhou Jing's temper. I came here to die today,
At this time, Hongzhi ordered him to leave. If this wasn't to let him escape, what was it?
Even the kneeling ministers have figured it out: His Majesty is still a kind man after all. Unfortunately, due to the influence of the East Palace, his actions have become more ruthless recently...
"I beg your father to let me stay in Qianqing Palace." Zhu Houzhao immediately knelt down. Without others, he could still lose his temper. With other people, the emperor's decree was as soon as he opened his mouth, "My son has something to say." !」
Even though he didn't regard Hongzhi as his father to a large extent in his heart, he knew that this man was good to him.
Seeing the emperor being bullied, how could he be willing?
"Master Zhou, I don't know where your anger comes from or what it is for, so much so that I let you say such treacherous words that your father is venting his personal anger." He was also very angry when he mentioned this.
"Before you come, do you know what my father is saying to me? My father is thinking about how to distribute these captured fields to the landless people, and how can the people who have the fields avoid being invaded again. My father has always said They are all thinking about the people!"
"Now that my father has dealt with a few corrupt officials, so what if he uses violent methods and has deep scheming intentions? For whom? Is it just to vent his personal anger as Mr. Zhou said?! Let me tell you! If my father has any personal anger to vent today, The first one to be killed is you, Zhou Jing!”.
