His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, has seemed to be completely transformed recently, which is amazing, and it is normal for him to be a bit strong.
But Zhu Qiyu really came back to his senses. He looked at his precious son with a dull look and couldn't say a word. He felt so desolate... What a little bastard, you started to wheeze just after you got fat?
There is a sense of loss that the wave behind is about to be beaten on the beach by the wave ahead.
Then I thought about it, why do we, father and son, care about this?
I originally planned to gradually delegate power to him.
He coughed and looked at the ministers with gloomy eyes and an aggressive tone, "Do you have any objections to Zhu Yong's trip to Huguang?"
If you have any objections, raise them.
Whether you listen or not is up to me.
But he will definitely be united with his son. Those with lower official positions will be dismissed directly, while those with higher official positions will be demoted to local places.
He clearly expressed his support for the prince.
A smile appeared in Zhu Jianji's eyes.
Lao Zhu insists on getting it.
The whole hall was silent, no one said a word.
Haven't you noticed that father and son are of the same mind? At this time, you are clashing with each other. Do you think your career is too smooth or your life is too long? Your Majesty will not kill you, but it is not too normal for you to be relegated to Lingnan and cross the mountains to die on the road.
Zhu Qiyu waved his sleeves and was about to say he would withdraw from the court. Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, someone else stood up.
"Your Majesty, Zhang Yuan, impeach His Highness the Crown Prince!"
Zhu Qiyu's waving hand froze in the air.
All the civil and military officials in the hall looked sideways.
Damn it, who is so ignorant, can His Highness the Prince be impeached at will?
What's more, it's still the first day as an assistant.
Those censors are crazy about being famous. Do they really think that the Ming Dynasty is the same as the Song Dynasty?
Zhu Jianji also looked at this unknown person named Zhang Yuan in surprise. He really didn't know that this person didn't seem to be a Beijing official. A local official came to Beijing to report on his work?
Then how did he know about Gyeonggi?
What a piece of impeachment.
Don't know how to write the word "death"?
Zhu Jianji stood up and asked, "What is your position?"
You are in the wrong position. I will first accuse you of overstepping your position and going to drink northwest wind with Guan Qiu.
Zhang Yuan raised his head and looked directly at Zhu Jianji, with an awe-inspiring righteousness that was not afraid of the loss of etiquette in front of the palace, "I was originally the censor of Shanxi Province. Xu Youzhen rebelled, and the censor Zhang Peng was promoted to the censor of Qiandu. I went to Beijing from Shanxi to fill the vacancy. I arrived yesterday. Beijing."
Zhu Jianji wanted to do the same thing, but when he heard it, he stopped.
Censor...
That's okay.
Even though the censor is only in the seventh rank, he has great authority.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate is the highest supervisory authority of the Ming Dynasty. The Imperial Censor and the Six Ministers are collectively known as the Seven Ministers. They have a high status. However, it is precisely because of their high status that they came forward to impeach officials. It was suspected of "fighting" and lost the status of ministers. It is extremely easy to attract grievances against the court, and there is no room for maneuver if the impeachment is wrong.
Therefore, the matter of "fighting" was left to those censors who were of lower status, less seniority, younger age, and less scrupulous. In the words of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, it was to establish a system in which the small system is used to control the large, and the lower system is used to control the big. system, a top-down supervisory system.
So the censor jumped out to impeach, and you really can't find a thorn in your side.
When Zhu Qiyu saw that his son was deficient, he felt unhappy. You, Zhang Yuan, have always been the only one who let the little bastard suffer. You, a mere censor, dare to overstep your bounds?
It’s also weird.
Throughout the ages, the impeachment of princes was mostly caused by the struggle for the throne between brothers.
I am just an only son, so how could there be a fight for the throne?
The prince is the foundation of the country and is a sure thing.
You ministers don't want to curry favor with the prince and become a member of the princeling party, but you want to impeach him. You really think that my precious son cannot be the emperor, so you are confident, right?
But even with his status as censor, Zhu Qiyu had no choice but to ask: "Why do you want to impeach the prince?"
Zhang Yuandao: "When I arrived in the capital, I learned that Shi Heng, together with Xu Youzhen and Zhang He, had started a rebellion, and secretly colluded with Liu Yongcheng, the eunuch in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor, to rebel against the palace. However, His Highness the Crown Prince had also killed nine of his clans, and he deserved his crime. But His Highness the Crown Prince
Arrogantly leading troops to Cining Palace to raise troops to question the Queen Mother, it goes against human ethics and disrespects superiors and inferiors. This move can be described as unfilial and unethical!"
As soon as this statement came out, the entire court was shocked again.
What a big melon!
I really didn’t expect that everyone was shocked several times on the first day the prince took office. If the prince ascended the throne, wouldn’t we live such a thrilling life every day?!
Zhang Yuan's words were indeed like thunder, shocking the entire hall.
They are not stupid. They knew that after the turmoil, the Empress Dowager Sun who was involved would definitely not end well. But the world is such a big place, and sensible people in the court knew why Zhu Qiyu and his son killed the Empress Dowager Sun.
And most people can understand it.
But the people don’t know.
As long as you, Zhu Qiyu and his son, kill the Empress Dowager Sun, no matter how you cover it up, they will always be known as matricide.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led troops to Cining Palace, and Queen Mother Sun seemed to be fine. She probably reached some kind of agreement, and Queen Mother Sun would get a decent result. Strictly speaking, there was no problem with this operation.
it's good now.
But the news about such a big thing actually leaked out.
How else to kill Queen Mother Sun?
Even if the Empress Dowager Sun died suddenly due to illness recently, the government and the public would think that it was the work of you, Zhu Qiyu and his son, and a bunch of people would make a fuss about this matter for their own benefit.
And the key now is not to kill Queen Mother Sun.
How to protect the prince!
For such a serious act of unfilial piety and lack of morality, Guan Zongzheng Temple will not help. He might have to give up the position of the crown prince. As for who will take over the East Palace in the future, the power of Empress Dowager Sun and the Baozong may even lead to the remnants of Wang Zhen, who are conservative.
The civil servants and officials will take the trouble to talk to you, Zhu Qiyu, carefully.
There is no way, whoever calls you Zhu Qiyu will only have a son.
Once Zhu Jianji is deposed...
The only person qualified to take over the East Palace is Zhu Jianshen of the Qianxi Palace.
Zhang Yuan's reaction caught Zhu Qiyu off guard.
He glanced at his son, feeling a little guilty.
I think he harmed his son.
Originally, he was going to kill the Queen Mother Sun, so he asked Hao Yi to order troops, but it was just a show, and he dealt with it in the same way as his son. Unexpectedly, it was self-defeating.
Zhu Jianji was the same, he was confused for a while before he woke up.
Queen Mother Sun’s counterattack is coming!
Zhang Yuan just arrived in the capital yesterday, and he is a local supervisory censor. He has no influence at all in the capital. Even the officials in the capital cannot know about the Cining Palace, but he actually knows it.
Very abnormal.
There is only one possibility: Zhang Yuan is from Empress Dowager Sun.
She spread the news out of the palace just for today's counterattack.
And this counterattack is fierce and powerful.
Zhu Jianji glanced at Cheap Daddy and told him that you don't have to blame yourself. When he took Hao Yi to Cining Palace, Zhu Jianji had the consciousness of bearing a bad reputation.
Also know that there may be various counterattacks.
I just didn't expect it to come so quickly.
He took a deep breath, stood up, and looked at Zhang Yuan coldly, "You live outside the palace, how can you get news from the inner palace?"
Old witch, I don't have to give you any dignity.
Then everyone will have no choice but to be disgraceful!
