After Zhu Yijun took his seat, Lu Shusheng and others did not continue to kneel - this thing is shocking once you play it, but it will be very scary and kill people if you play it again.
They peeked at the emperor's face and saw that Zhu Yijun seemed to be in a better mood. Although he was sullen and silent, there was not much anger between his eyebrows, and they felt relieved.
They wanted to stop, but some people didn't want the matter of forcing the palace to go away today. Zhang Siwei came out and said: "Your Majesty, it has been revealed that Lu Shusheng and others are secretly conspiring with the gangsters. Please remove them from their posts and live idle."
Lu Shusheng heard this and even though he excused himself and apologized, he didn't say a word in defense. Hao Weiqiao, the imperial censor who was on duty today to monitor the indecency in the palace, went out to calm him down and said: "Those who asked to leave, as Lu Shangshu said, did so on their own initiative. But for the others to ask to go, it is tantamount to coercing the imperial court and asking the emperor to investigate clearly." "
After Zhang Han, Wan Shihe and others listened, they realized that Lu Shusheng's previous performance might actually work, and they all cursed Lu Shusheng and Hao Weiqiao in their hearts. You Qi secretly scolded Lu Shusheng for taking the lead in forcing the empress into the palace, but he actually had a chance to get away with it, yet he left the rest of us in there.
Lu Shusheng had no intention of performing in the court today, but the impression given to people was that Lao Jianghu was demonstrating how to mess around in the court, which made him dumbfounded. But he had more contact with the emperor, and he knew clearly in his heart that regardless of whether Zhang Siwei was involved or not, his officials were done today.
Sure enough, after Zhu Yijun listened to Hao Weiqiao's report, he pondered for a while and said: "Well, regardless of the right or wrong of what Lu Shusheng and Zhang Han said, there are no clandestine members in this court to coerce me into serving. Let's go to Lu Shusheng as the Minister of Rites, because He is old and allowed to ride in the post. I will remove Zhang Han from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and remove him from the post of Minister Wan Shihe and Wang Xilie."
As soon as Zhu Yijun said these words, there was a low buzz in Huangji Palace. It would not be surprising at all if Zhu Yijun got angry and dismissed the two ministers and two ministers when these people forced the palace.
However, just when the atmosphere had greatly eased, Zhu Yijun fell out. His tone was indifferent, as if he was sending out not important ministers like Tian Guan and Zong Bo, but as easy as expelling two small yellow men who made mistakes from the palace.
Lu Shusheng was already prepared and kowtowed after hearing the words, feeling neither joy nor sorrow in his heart. Zhang Han, Wan Shihe, Wang Xilie and others looked miserable, and they all kowtowed to plead guilty. Wang Xilie also shed tears and said: "Your Majesty, the reform is not possible! It is not a pity for me to wait for death, but I am afraid that the country will be shaken..."
Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Yijun interrupted: "Well, you don't have to say it." He turned to Li Youzi, the minister of Dali Temple, and said, "Li Qing, have I ever said the word 'reform'?"
Li Youzi was startled when he heard this, and thought to himself, if you don't change the law, what are these people doing in the Huangji Palace with us, Xiaotian? After thinking about it carefully, Zhu Yijun indeed did not say the word "reform" in the edict and today at the Huangji Palace, so he went out to the class and said: "The emperor indeed did not say 'reform'."
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun said with a mocking look on his face: "Well, it seems that many people in the court today have learned to spy on the holy will and guess the king's heart."
As soon as these words were said, all civil and military officials in the court shuddered, and the emperor increasingly made the crimes of these people more serious. Is this going to put Wang Xilie to death?
Zhu Yijun continued: "Well, I don't blame you for guessing the emperor's heart. Sometimes if you don't understand the guess, you can't do things well. But today, someone used their own guess conclusion to openly 'collude with party members' and used many people to Dismissal from office and forcing me to bow down - even if you say you are going to destroy the world, you can't hide the evil of the king and father. Wang Xilie, Zhang Han, Wan Shihe, do you regard me as a master who can be bullied?"
After hearing this, Wang Xilie felt like a wronged child, with tears rolling down his eyes. Choking with sobs, he said: "I don't dare, how can I dare? My intention is only to oppose Zhang Juzheng's appointment as Prime Minister of the Cabinet, and my intention is only to advise the emperor to stop the reform. If the emperor has no intention of reform, I will have no regrets even if I die."
Zhu Yijun sneered after hearing this: "What is your death worth? Can you strengthen the country? I do intend to change the law! Can this be the reason for you people to do things without a king and a father? Since you can force me to bow, I also I can tell you - I don’t care about your coercion, because rather than leaving you here to obstruct national affairs, you might as well get out!!"
Zhu Yijun finally became more and more excited as he talked, and he began to use strong emotions to fight back against the persuasion received by Lu Shusheng and others today in the form of a slap in the face and forced the palace.
Zhu Yijun pointed to the "Comprehensive Map of Kunyu of All Nations" and said: "This map was drawn by a Portuguese merchant in Haojing. I spent a lot of money to find it. At this time, the Europeans had driven gunboats across hundreds of thousands of miles of waves. We’ve arrived at the door of Daming’s house! Do you know this?”
"Of course you know! Because the imperial court united with the Spaniards and wiped out the pirate Lin Feng who was helpless! But we lost even more completely because the Spaniards were a hundred thousand miles away from the mainland, but our navy could only fight in our own bay. !”
"The anointed land of Luzon was invaded by the Spaniards who built cities, and the subjects of the country who received tribute from them were not ashamed of themselves. The great martial arts of the ancestors who were famous across the ocean were also ignored by the unscrupulous descendants—— 'Although it is not said that the prosperous age is prosperous, but great governance can be expected', such a great governance, such a prosperous age, what is it but 'Yelang is arrogant'?!"
"It may be said that the land of our ancestors is here, and we provide for the people to live and work in peace and contentment. This is the way of the emperor. What is the result of the world today? Have you not seen the state of all the people crying for food? Have you not seen that there are no soldiers in the country who dare to fight? Peasants? The capital is not strong, industry and commerce are not prosperous, and education is incompetent. Do you need me to elaborate?"
"The widows, widowers, lonely people, and the sick all need to be supported. This is what the sage said. You have accepted this teaching and are indifferent to the world's lack of support! The foreign barbarians are approaching the door of the country, and the change of "transforming the barbarians into Xia" is already underway. But you are still sitting in a well and looking at the sky, saying that this world is owned by my emperor! What you call 'the world' is less than one-twentieth of the real world!"
"This is not the teaching of saints; this is not the law established by our ancestors; this is not what the emperor should say - these are all what I said yesterday when I looked through your question book. I would like to ask you here: What do you think? Come up with a strategy to enrich this country, strengthen this army, and let my great banner once again show its power in the world?!"
"When it comes to doing things, there is no way to do it; when it bites people, it penetrates into the bones and flesh! They turn a blind eye to Mr. Zhang's resignation memorial, and falsely accuse him of corruption and abuse of power. The rest kill the clan and support him. The sins of serving the emperor, being domineering, lustful, and cunning are all here. Don’t you think you are disgusting? Although I can’t do anything for him, I can ruin it. Isn’t that what people have criticized Zhang Juzheng in the past two days? Goods?"
Zhu Yijun vented his anger, which made Wang Xilie and others sweat like rain and no longer dared to speak. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked by the emperor's long speech. No one expected that the emperor cared so much about the Spanish barbarians - "Transforming the barbarians into Xia", was it so serious?
However, when the emperor was angry, no one dared to touch him. After Zhu Yijun finished his speech, he picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and scanned the ministers with cold eyes.
Then he calmly ordered: "Since you want to ask for a first name - well, for the remaining thirty-three, I will reward each of you with ten imperial staffs - you can use them to show off to your descendants!"
The emperor's lips were full of sarcasm again: "When your descendants ask you in the future what you have done for this great world, you can proudly answer them: I used my white ass to defend the success of my ancestors." ***Legenchang!”
