The word "faint king" finally came out of his mouth. Mao Cheng looked at the pillar next to him and was about to hit it.
Words that directly insulted the emperor were spoken, and everything was irreversible.
Yang Tinghe was filled with grief. Is Mao Cheng going to take everything on his own and stop trying to protect him?
Everyone inside and outside the west corner gate changed their colors, looking at the emperor with worried eyes.
How could a fifteen-year-old boy, who had just ascended the throne, endure such humiliation?
Lu Song, who had been transferred to the fifth core of the Jinyi Guards, had been guarding here early today, and when he saw this, he blocked Mao Cheng.
Even if you want to die, you can't die like this. This is Lu Song's basic judgment.
There was a commotion in the west corner gate. Mao Cheng, Qi Zhiluan and others called for Emperor Xiaozong and even Emperor Zhengde. It seemed that even Emperor Zhengde was not as unreliable as Zhu Houcong.
All kinds of angry curses were heard.
"Your Majesty!" Yang Tinghe burst into tears, "Why is this so?"
Lu Song, who was surrounded by Mao Cheng and others, saluted Zhu Houcong and said, "Your Majesty, Mao Cheng and others insulted your father, please give me your decree on how to deal with it!"
"That's not the case. I'm not planning to kill anyone. What did he say that the king wants his subjects to die? Why does he always misinterpret what I say?"
To everyone's surprise, the young emperor Zhu Houcon still smiled harmoniously: "I have already said in the palace that we should not fight about this matter in the future, otherwise we will let me go home and continue to be a prince. Now that I have ascended the throne,
In the end, they are still arguing. Should I accompany them to quarrel every day? For matters that have not yet been decided, the courtiers can argue boldly and feel free to argue. For matters that have been decided, the court can only have one voice!"
He put away his smile, paused and then suddenly shouted loudly: "My voice!"
The roar echoed in everyone's ears, and the emperor was indeed extremely angry.
Many people's legs and feet are beginning to feel weak.
Today, I'm afraid there will really be blood!
Zhu Houcong didn't want to argue endlessly about this matter. He just wanted these people to quickly settle the matter by ascending the throne and being banned.
The real state affairs of the Ming Dynasty have not yet been handled. Is it interesting to keep arguing about this?
He, Zhu Houcong, has already ascended the throne. If you don't like it, don't eat the bowl of Ming Dynasty food from his pot!
You want to eat this bowl of rice and you want to scold him again, why? With a long history, with a sentence that is unethical?
Zhu Houcong's voice had disappeared inside and outside the Xijiao Gate, but the word "kill" seemed to still echo in the ears of the ministers.
When he was smiling before, had he thought about killing people with their heads rolling?
How did a fifteen-year-old kid develop such a smile that conceals a knife, bursts out his anger, and only uses it to declare his authority?
Now that he is being cursed like this in front of all the officials, should he still be killed?
"If you are not loyal to me, you will be relegated to the people and will never be used again. This is my tolerance. Mao Cheng has made meritorious service, and his salary is still implemented after three years. But such insults to the emperor add to the unforgivable crime. Today will be a highlight in the history of history.
"Anyone who wants reputation, I will grant it!" Zhu Houhuan asked coldly, "I also want this reputation, whether it is an infamy or a virtuous reputation, I will accept it! The laws and regulations are all there, and the officials are all in place. What should be rewarded should be rewarded.
Those who protest will be thrown into prison to protest! Lu Song, why are you still standing there?"
Yang Tinghe's vision went dark, and his legs went weak on the spot. Mao Ji quickly stepped forward to support him.
Sweat broke out on Lu Song's forehead. He immediately forced himself to apologize. Then he asked the guard in charge today for instructions, and then escorted Mao Cheng and others, who were yelling and scolding, outside the Meridian Gate.
past.
Instead, Liang Chu knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, who has just ascended to the throne, is asking for extra mercy. You can't just kill so many officials!"
Yang Tinghe, who had just recovered a little, couldn't help but glare at Liang Chu when he heard this.
It sounds like he is begging for mercy for everyone, but if the official is not killed, where is Mao Cheng?
Yang Tinghe couldn't stand the excitement, so he cried and took off his hat: "Your Majesty punished the meritorious officials for the first time when he came to court. He also wanted to accuse the king and father of being disrespectful. I couldn't dissuade him. I had no face to stay in the court. I begged for his bones."
"
Yang Shen, a Hanlin scholar, saw Mao Cheng and others being dragged to the left gate, and saw his father kneeling down in front of him, trembling and crying. He stood up in grief and anger and said: "Why do you kill the heroes for the first time when you look at the court? Your Majesty
, why has it come to this? If Your Majesty wants to establish his authority, why should he be called disloyal? Shangshu Mao is devoted to the king, and wants to understand the great etiquette and make the world peaceful. This is great loyalty, do you know it?"
He pointed out Zhu Houcong's intentions and believed that discussing great gifts was not the same as loyalty or disloyalty. After all, he hoped that there would be less hidden dangers after Zhu Houcong succeeded to the throne.
Amidst the cries and curses of Mao Cheng and others in the distance, more and more people knelt down and cried to persuade the emperor. Most of them were already interceding for Mao Cheng and others. Mao Cheng's hard work made him great achievements, and he should not kill officials for his advice.
Are favors greater than rules?
"I have long said in the palace that I am not afraid of being scolded as a foolish emperor!" Zhu Houcong laughed, "I have also told the truth over and over again, and asked over and over again. Why, I have welcomed an emperor but
If I’m not prepared to be loyal, I can’t do anything. Today’s events will be remembered every word by the official! Yang Shen and Mao Cheng are loyal, where is the loyalty?”
Yang Tinghe trembled all over.
Why can't you come at me? Should you come at my son?
Now Yang Tinghe, who had been a little timid by the emperor's methods, was not sure what kind of back-up plan the emperor was preparing to directly ask his son.
Before he could speak, Yang Shen had already said angrily: "As I said, Mao Shangshu is devoted to the king and wants to understand the great etiquette and make the world peaceful!"
"Is the world peaceful?" Zhu Houcong sneered, "Dingguo Gong, who is the Daxing Emperor?"
Xu Guangzuo's heart was racing: Don't mention me anymore! Do you want to abolish the ministers?
But he had to answer: "...the legitimate son of Emperor Xiaomiao."
"The legitimate son, the only son when he succeeded to the throne!" Zhu Houcong had already got the answer he wanted, "Dong Zhuangyuan, can the name of the emperor's brother's succession be more righteous? When the emperor's brother was in power, the vassal kings rebelled twice, and many times
If the refugees raise the flag, can the world be at peace?"
Yang Shen was immediately speechless.
"The great gift of the Ming Dynasty brought peace to the world. What great gift has such an effect?" Zhu Houcong sneered and said, "Master Zhuangyuan, please tell me!"
Yang Shen is not a fool, he knows the trap in this question.
To truly stabilize the world is not just talk, the emperor has already led it to practical consequences.
If he talks eloquently, Yang Shen cannot imagine what his next sentence will be.
The irony of calling him Zhuangyuan Gong at this time is beyond words.
Seeing that his son did not speak, Yang Tinghe breathed a sigh of relief.
In the silence created by the power of the emperor, Zhu Houcong's face became cold: "Etiquette? What is etiquette? Order from top to bottom! Etiquette is about order, and it depends on money! Creating regulations, traveling ceremonials, and using materials for clothing, none of it is wrong
Do you rely on money to support your dignity? To maintain the etiquette system, you must have money. This money will maintain the prosperity and wealth of everyone who follows the etiquette system and lives in the upper position of the etiquette system!"
The stone was shattered, and everyone looked at him in shock.
"Now I have to be the heir. What kind of etiquette is this? I have succeeded, and many people have followed the old order, and their honor has not been lost. If I don't succeed, how can I ever go to war? As long as I, the vassal king who inherits the great rule, will be on the throne today
After enjoying the highest position in the hierarchy of different honors, wouldn't it be enough to be able to take on the responsibility of safeguarding the prosperity and wealth of others in this hierarchy? Now that I have no heir, who is uneasy because of this? The common people?
"
"What does this great gift in the order of monarchs and ministers, and the benefits related to this great gift, have to do with the people? What they care about is the rice in the vat, and the clothes on the children! The warehouses know the etiquette, and the people know the honor and disgrace when they have enough food and clothing.
They don’t care about this so-called great gift, because this so-called great gift has nothing to do with them! Who cares about this great gift is the vassal king or the officials! I don’t want to deal with anyone right now, but I don’t want to give you the honor of the officials for the time being. As for the vassal
The honor of the king..."
"Did I ask for or steal this throne? Yang Shen, answer me!"
Yang Tinghe's eyes showed fear, why did he say it so nakedly?
The imperial edict was led by Yang Tinghe, and Yang Shen could only reply: "Of course not... but your Majesty..."
"Safety, right? Hidden danger, right?" Zhu Houxuan said proudly, "So I will issue an edict at this time to clarify my legal system. If the vassal king has any objections, he can stand up! If all the officials are not loyal, they can retire! If the vassal king
If the king rebels at this time, the result will be success or failure!"
"I have rewarded the kings in advance, and ordered them to live in peace in the palace, and a member of the clan will mourn for the emperor brother for twenty-seven months. This move is against the emperor's brother's last edict, but it is out of the order of the new king to succeed the vassal king! The vassal king succeeds to the throne, on
When is the first time? Is this order excessive?"
Once things are explained, it's very simple.
Is it too much?
Damn, that's very merciful, okay?
The succession of the vassal king... During the Battle of Jingnan, what was the situation like in the past in Jingtai? The world is full of heads!
"If this is the case, the vassal king wants to rebel. Is it me who forced him to rebel?" Zhu Houcong looked at Xu Guangzuo again, "Success will not be achieved in a day. In this situation, the vassal king immediately takes action. Will it succeed, Lord Dingguo?
Generals, can you challenge and win?"
No matter how aggrieved the general is, how can he say this now?
Duke Dingguo's cowardly heart had been trampled to death by thousands of horses, but he could only reply loudly on behalf of his ministers and generals: "Your Majesty has an order, and all the armies will fight and win!"
Inside and outside the Xijiao Gate, the honorable ministers and generals who had always had little say in the matter shouted in unison: "We must attack and win!"
The sonorous sound of these people gathering together was quite loud, and it faintly spread to Zuoshunmen.
The corners of Lu Song's mouth raised slightly and then calmed down, and he looked at Mao Cheng with contemptuous eyes.
"Hunjun... Hunjun..." Mao Cheng could only mutter.
