As a son of a distinguished noble, his attitude is naturally opposed to the civil servants. When he sees the civil servants being unlucky, he naturally applauds them.
Zhu Lin and Zhang Lun looked at each other, and Zhu Lin sighed softly: "I really didn't expect that Li Huan was so brave, but if he did this, it would be strange if the officials and the cabinet were not exploded. I'm afraid it would be a disaster."
It tore his heart out."
Guo Xun sneered and said: "What are you afraid of? After all, the Jin Yiwei are also the emperor's personal soldiers. Impeachment of all officials is impeachment. Whether to punish or not is up to His Majesty."
As he spoke, Guo Xun glanced at a few people and said: "You said that the officials and the cabinet meeting just made His Majesty half angry to death. At this moment, Li Huan took down Luo Wenxiang and several others, and beat the cabinet and cabinet severely.
What would His Majesty see and think about the faces of the officials?"
Chen Ru said without thinking: "What's the point? Li Huan can be regarded as a relief for His Majesty. It would be strange for His Majesty not to be overjoyed!"
Guo Xun clapped his hands and praised: "Yes, so Li Huan is a smart man. Anyway, he has offended the civil servants and officials. Everyone wants to kill him for treason. What else is there to fear about him? It's better to
Taking the opportunity to disgust the cabinet, he was able to breathe a sigh of relief and establish his authority. More importantly, he was able to please the emperor. He achieved this in one fell swoop. This thought and method are really admirable."
Zhu Lin said with a smile: "It's rare to see such a big show. Let's break up. Let's break up quickly. I'm looking forward to what the officials and cabinet will look like when they get the news."
In the imperial palace and the royal study, Zhu Houzhao had a cold face, Gu Dayong, and Zhang Yong stood aside, looking at Li Dongyang, the chief minister of the cabinet, with a half-smiling look.
Li Dongyang felt very bitter in his heart. He really missed the period of the late Emperor Hongzhi. At that time, the monarch and his ministers were harmonious. Emperor Hongzhi almost never objected to any suggestions from their cabinet and approved them. And so did he, the chief minister of the cabinet.
With the support of hundreds of officials, there are few worries.
However, since the death of the previous emperor and the new emperor's accession to the throne, the cabinet and the new emperor have gradually had disputes over many matters. Although they relied on their qualifications and the support of hundreds of officials, they were able to force the new emperor to give in every time.
Li Dongyang is not a fool. How could he not know that the relationship between monarch and ministers would definitely cause trouble in the long run? It's just that everything they do is for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world.
Why can't the emperor understand the painstaking efforts of these ministers?
Of course, Li Dongyang also knew that the elders in the cabinet more or less had their own selfish motives, just like Xie Qian and Liu Jian.
It was precisely because of this that he did not agree with forcing the emperor too much. However, although he was the chief minister of the cabinet, he could not violate the will of the officials and cabinet members, so he could only stand in the middle and try his best to ease the relationship between the two parties.
Nowadays, Luo Wenxiang's impeachment of Li Huan was the cause of a great court meeting, but it only intensified the contradictions that had been accumulated for a long time.
The emperor was so angry that he left the court. The cabinet insisted on Paul Wenxiang, and he, the chief minister of the cabinet, could only come to persuade the emperor.
Various thoughts flashed through his mind. Seeing that the emperor was expressionless and didn't even look at him. He was obviously still angry. Li Dongyang took a deep breath, saluted with a long smile and said: "I pay homage to your majesty!"
Zhu Houzhao just ignored him and even turned sideways.
Seeing this, Li Dongyang stretched out his hand to lift up his purple robe, and respectfully knelt down to Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, Li Dongyang, bow before you!"
Seeing the gray-haired Li Dongyang paying homage with great ceremony and kneeling on the ground for only ten breaths, Zhu Houzhao, who didn't want to pay attention to Li Dongyang, felt unbearable. He snorted coldly and waved his hands and said: "The ground is cold, what do you want to say to the Qing family?"
Get up and talk, don't hurt yourself."
Li Dongyang felt ashamed secretly in his heart. He knew that Zhu Houzhao had a pure nature, and they said that a gentleman can be bullied. Just now the emperor was angry and ignored him. He knelt down and couldn't get up. It was probably a small trick.
But no matter what, at least the emperor is willing to talk to him.
After sorting out his thoughts, Li Dongyang glanced at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers did not consider the matter of today's court meeting, but your Majesty also needs to consider why the cabinet and officials reacted like that!"
Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly: "Why? Don't they just want Li Huanqing's family to die?"
Li Dongyang sighed softly and said: "Your Majesty, the officials will never let the Jin Yiwei's power expand. Regardless of Li Huan's guilt or innocence, if he is involved in this, the officials will regard him as a mortal enemy..."
Zhu Houzhao suddenly laughed. He looked at Li Dongyang while laughing and said: "If I remember correctly, Jin Yiwei is the emperor's personal army. What does it have to do with the officials? I want to reorganize Jin Yiwei. Do I still need their consent?"
"
Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Li Dongyang couldn't help but change his face, and thought something was wrong in his heart. You must know that Zhu Houzhao had deliberately tried to touch the Jin Yiwei several times before, but he was suppressed by the cabinet and hundreds of officials, and Zhu Houzhao was not seen.
There was no extreme reaction, nor such harsh words.
But this time, Zhu Houzhao's attitude made Li Dongyang feel bad.
When he thought about the attitude of the ministers in the cabinet towards Jin Yiwei, Li Dongyang became more and more headache-y. If he couldn't appease the emperor here, he couldn't suppress it in the cabinet. When the emperor and his ministers were at odds, there would inevitably be chaos in the court.
Glancing at Li Dongyang, Zhu Houzhao said with a bit of force: "Luo Wenxiang slandered officials out of thin air and is really not worthy of being a supervisory censor. How should we deal with it? The chief assistant will come back and come up with an opinion with several cabinet elders. I'm waiting for you.
Answer!"
After speaking, Zhu Houzhao turned to Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong, who were waiting at the side, and said, "Come with me to go out and relax."
By the time Li Dongyang came to his senses, Zhu Houzhao had already left the imperial study. Li Dongyang opened his mouth, but swallowed the words when he reached his lips.
After the court meeting, the cabinet elders returned to the cabinet to handle government affairs, but at this moment, the cabinet elders had no intention to deal with government affairs.
It has been more than half an hour since Li Dongyang, the first assistant, went to the palace to see the emperor, and he didn't know what the situation was now.
Xie Qian sat there like an old man, sipping tea and smiling at the other pavilion elders: "Don't worry, your majesty is just a child with a temper. I believe that brother Bin will appease your majesty."
."
Liu Jian said with a bit of seriousness on his face: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Let's consider Li Huan's problem. If Li Huan cannot be removed this time, Your Majesty will taste the sweetness and act arbitrarily, let alone the cabinet's opinions."
Will listen."
The expressions of the several pavilion elders all changed. They were all people who had been in officialdom for decades. They knew better than anyone else that the reason why they were able to overpower even the emperor in the court was because the emperor was young.
, the prestige is not enough, and on the other hand, the emperor lacks strong arms to help him inside and outside the court.
Whether it is Dongchang or Jinyiwei, if any power grows, it will be a sharp sword hanging over the heads of all officials.
