Zhu Houzhao did not have any special conspiracy or conspiracy in this matter. He just wanted his ideas and will to be implemented. As an emperor, this should be the most basic thing.
For this reason, he had the fiercest battle with Liu Jian, a veteran of the Four Dynasties.
Liu Daxia, a favorite of the late emperor, was still waiting in prison to be punished. Now it was Liu Jian's turn. In just two months, common sense should not have such a large number of important officials imprisoned.
But Long Yan's anger in the West Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace was not fake.
Han Wen thought, Liu Jian had no worries about his life. Although today's emperor is harsh, it is not cruel. Moreover, how could Liu Daxia and Liu Jian be so dense?
Wang Jizhi may have considered this, so he tried his best to persuade him.
He acted the best in this play.
Because the emperor shouldn't have done anything to Liu Jian. If he hadn't begged heaven and earth to plead for mercy and give the emperor a step forward, how could he act next?
"I second the proposal!" Han Guandao thought about it again and again, but decided to fight for a role for himself, "Mr. Liu Ge is a gentleman for a while, an honest official, and diligent in his duties. If we remove Mr. Liu Ge, it will not only be a loss for the world, but also a loss for the world." Your Majesty’s loss.”
Zhu Houzhao was even more annoyed, "Are you two going to stop me too?!"
"I'm not trying to stop Your Majesty. It's my duty to advise you. I'm loyal to Your Majesty. That's why I have such offensive words. Your Majesty, please take a closer look!" Wang Chao kowtowed deeply.
Zhu Houzhao turned to the other side, "Mr. Li Ge, Mr. Xie Ge, what do you two say?"
What else can I say?
Wang Hao and Han Wen were both members of the emperor, and they both supported Liu Jian to continue to serve as chief minister. They were already cabinet ministers. Could it be that at this time, they suggested that the emperor dismiss Liu Jian?
What kind of reputation will it spread out?
So even though he knew that the emperor was angry, there was nothing he could do about it. Li Dongyang bit the bullet and replied, "My lord, I second the proposal!"
The same is true for Xie Qian.
Zhu Houzhao saw such a reaction, but he actually wanted it in his heart. Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, he smiled miserably: "In that case, it's as you said. It's okay if you don't sit on this throne!"
As soon as the emperor said this, everyone's expressions changed.
Han Wen was also extremely surprised: The emperor would never have discussed this with Wang Hao in advance, otherwise Wang Hao would be too courageous.

Make decisions as appropriate.
If it was an oral order, then it would be better for all the ministers to make trouble with Liu Jin.
But this is what the emperor wrote down in black and white,
So a group of ministers all looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. Although they said that the matter of leaving the court should not be so casual, they could not just resist the imperial edict. Have they forgotten the Zuoshunmen incident in the eleventh year of Hongzhi?
And it was different from now. There are still many ministers who are the emperor's confidants, and they would never do such a thing.
In this way, all the ministers can only look at the cabinet. Who doesn't know what happened to Long Yan in the Qing Palace yesterday?
"Mr. Ge, what should we do?" Li Dongyang didn't know what to say. In fact, he had been advising you for a long time. You had to fight with the emperor. Now it's better. You are no longer a human being inside and outside.
"Eunuch Liu, what's wrong with Your Majesty?" Xie Qian stepped forward and got close to Liu Jin blindly.
"Your Majesty has contracted the cold. And His Majesty knew that the ministers were unwilling to leave, so he told the servants, Your Majesty said, Mr. Liu Ge is a veteran of the fourth dynasty and is cautious in dealing with things. I am young and have little experience. I will ask Mr. Liu to work hard in the future. Some."
What does it mean? Liu Jian had a quarrel, but ended up being kind?
After the imperial court was dismissed, the officials had to go back to their own homes, but in the afternoon, there was another decree from the palace. His Majesty the Emperor gave him a special gift. In addition to the titles of Liu Ge, the chief minister of the old cabinet, and the bachelor of Huagaidian, he also promoted his Taibao. For Taifu.
As a civil servant, he should be at the top.
But this official promotion made Liu Jian's buttocks burn.
In human nature, if you are bad, more people will sympathize with you. Whoever caused you to be like this will be scolded.
But if you become good, then more people will be jealous of you.
The emperor couldn't deal with him as the head of the cabinet and the minister who had entrusted him with the task. If he touched him even slightly, he would receive a flood of criticism. But the opposite is different. Even if all the imperial favors are bestowed upon him, it is Liu Jian who will suffer the most!
Because if you really have some merit, that's all, but how did you get all these names?
Won it by quarreling with the emperor!
That's okay,
Where does the emperor's authority lie? Where is the righteousness of the monarch and his ministers?
Speaking of which, Liu Jian has trampled on the justice of the monarch and his ministers to a certain extent!
Not to mention Liu Jian’s influence, what happened to Zhang Juzheng? Even when he was at the height of his power, there were still ministers who dared to go to court!
Therefore, although Zhu Houzhao hid in the Qianqing Palace for a few days and seemed to care about nothing, in fact, the direction of the court began to change in his direction.
….
Previously, Zhu Houzhao ordered someone to compile the "Biography of the Overlord", and now someone is going to list what Liu Jian did this time. They have a point, the emperor bullied you into this, are you still not overbearing? !
Liu Jian himself has been an official for decades. How could he still not understand the emperor's tricks?
But this is a conspiracy, what can he do?
…
…
"...Jizhi, did you really not know before?"
Han Wen was still pestering Wang Hao to ask this question.
Wang Hao was also quite helpless, "That morning, Liu Ge suddenly came to play, and then went to Qianqing Palace. You were there all the way. Do you think His Majesty can discuss it with me in advance when he has time?"
Han Wen praised, "So, Your Majesty also thought of this idea in a moment. How did you come up with this idea? I think Mr. Liu Ge is on pins and needles now. Hey, I am also the first to be anxious about being promoted. See you once."
"I have to say that I was really shocked that day. If His Majesty really fired Mr. Liu out of anger, all those years of hard work would have been in vain."
Han Wen was disdainful, "It's an exaggeration to waste it in vain. Could it be that the entire court still relies on him, Mr. Liu Ge?"
"That's true. But you see, Your Majesty still knows the importance. He knows that at this time, you can quarrel and have disagreements, but you can't be removed from office, you can only be promoted. As for the result of this promotion..."
Wang Hao didn't know what to say. Could it be that the emperor was really a fucking thief?
sitting aside
Min Gui, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, was there and seemed to have everything under control.
Han Wen turned his head and said, "Mr. Chao Ying, don't you find this interesting?"
"The big things in the court have always been like this. As your Majesty said, when has your Majesty ever done anything impulsive?"
"That's what it says, but His Majesty was so angry at the time, who dares to think it's false?"
"Who said it was fake?" Min Gui didn't think so. "The anger is real, but His Majesty had already planned it. Besides, it was obvious from the beginning that Brother Ji would try his best to dissuade him."
Wang Hao smiled bitterly. This time, he did plan for the emperor and went in.
If they weren't expected to stop him, why would the emperor set the tone so high?
In Min Gui's opinion, this is the most wonderful part of the emperor's handling.
National policy, veterans, court, character... everything must be considered before such a complicated matter can be handled lightly and lead to the current situation.
Now Liu Jian feels uncomfortable.
Wang Hao analyzed: "As a result, the imperial court's discussion on whether to retaliate has stopped. Your Majesty seems to have delegated all power to Mr. Liu Ge, but how dare he deny the reintegration and not make it a national policy?" ?」
Because this temporary right is false and unstable. Wouldn't doing this make the ministers who support the emperor even more dissatisfied with him?
"I can only stay away from court for three days at most." Min Gui stretched out his hand and made a 'three' gesture.
Wang Hao and Han Wen both nodded as if understanding.
After all, national affairs involve the common people. You can have a temper, but you can't ignore them! You don’t even need to talk to the emperor about this truth.
Because all three of them believed that the emperor must understand this.
….
Otherwise, he would not be Zhu Houzhao.
…
Qianqing Palace, Xinuang Pavilion.
The emperor was also explaining to Feng Xi and Guo Shangkun in the attendant's room that they were also worried about the emperor, so they knelt for a while.
"... Let's not say whether he dares or not, even if he really does not list duplex as a national policy. This kind of thing is decided by people, can't I change it back? As for avoiding the imperial court, how can I be involved in national affairs? Are you having a little temper?"
The emperor has only been in office for two months, and he has not had enough addiction. Should he give up all his power to a minister?
Therefore, a few days' absence is just a means of conveying information.
If he really stayed away from court for a long time like Wanli did, it would be a bit overkill, and it would be detrimental to the emperor's reputation.
The decisive restoration of the early dynasty showed the emperor's image of enduring grievances and taking the overall situation into consideration.
With such methods and such rhythm, the emperor's government was really played like embroidery.
…
"Mr. Ge, do you still hope that Yang Yingning will win?"
In the square in front of Fengtian Hall, Li Dongyang asked Liu Jian this.
Liu Ge was in danger at this time. If there was any hope, it would be that Yang Yingning was defeated. In this way, he was right to oppose the repeated set.
But what if Yang Yingning wins? He was good to the court, but very bad to Liu Jian. The emperor could knead him more casually.
Therefore, Li Dongyang’s question is very direct and goes straight into his heart.
Liu Jian's face has turned yellow and wrinkled. Time flies very fast and life is long. Liu Jian still remembers reciting the books of sages since he was a child. Today, he has to face his heart. In his heart, personal honor and disgrace are more important than the world and the country. more important.
Looking at Fengtian Hall, Liu Ge was silent for a long time, as if he was in trance, as if his soul was flying into the sky.
Until a certain moment, the Meridian Gate opened wide, and there was a sound coming from far and near,
"Good news from the northwest!! Good news from the northwest!!"
Li Dongyang held up his sleeves to look, and saw a blue-robed eunuch running like crazy holding up the winning message without any effort.
Good news?
This word actually answers everything.
The old minister fell in despair and shouted with tears in his eyes, "My lord Liu Jian, congratulations to the Ming Dynasty and congratulations to Your Majesty!!"
The old man kneels
He kowtowed on the ground, and when he got up again he was already in tears.
"Mr. Ge..." Li Dongyang also knelt down.
"No need to talk about it. I can't be a leader, but I can't be a female minister."
But the situation is like this, and there is nothing we can do. Old ministers will always have obstacles to the new emperor because they have too many qualifications.
