Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Zhu Biao, who was busy handling official business in the Jinshen Hall, slowly raised his head when he heard the eunuch's quiet reminder.

Zhu Biao, who had been on the throne for several days and was living in the Jinshen Palace, had changed a lot compared to when he was the crown prince.

Not to mention the changes in clothing and accessories.

Just this demeanor alone makes a clear difference.

At least, compared to when he was the crown prince, his majestic and profound bearing was obviously much more solemn.

Even the smile on his face was a little less, and instead he looked a little more solemn.

It’s not that he did it on purpose, but after actually sitting in this position, he realized that this was a big pit!

Now, he has neither a father to take the pressure from the front nor a father to discuss state affairs with.

The figure who had always protected him from the wind and rain was now having a great time in Hujiazhuang.

At least according to what he knew, he seemed to be enjoying it so much that he didn't want to leave.

This left Zhu Biao with no room to retreat, and he had no choice but to grit his teeth and fight on.

But after becoming emperor, Zhu Biao discovered how stressful being an emperor was.

No matter whether it was the group of old ministers of Hongwu or the new nobles of the Eastern Palace, they were really not polite to me when they arrived at the court.

He has thoroughly experienced the emperor's authority and sourness these days.

Several topics were clearly opposed and resisted by court officials.

They didn't care at all how kind and wise he was when he was the crown prince. Anyway, what they should oppose was the minutes.

If the proposed policy is really wrong, then so be it.

I'm just speaking out against the emperor's will. It's not like he won't listen to advice.

But now, if we think carefully about these opponents, we will find that they are all considering their own interests.

To put it bluntly, the new policies proposed by Zhu Biao harmed their interests, so they immediately put aside their previous friendship and began to oppose it.

As for whether the Lord will be embarrassed, whether the Ming Dynasty will be affected, and whether the people will suffer severely?

What does this have to do with them?

If these officials really cared about this, they wouldn't have stood up.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Biao has been extremely tired these past few days.

After all, he is not his father.

If his father were here, he would probably be able to force back everyone who stood up with just a glance.

Because if this kind of behavior of cherishing one's life for the greater good and forgetting righteousness for the sake of small gains had fallen into the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, he would definitely be executed on the spot.

The one-day tour to the execution ground is just a one-way ticket, and you can’t come back once you go.

Anyway, the outstanding thing about Zhu Yuanzhang is that he would kill anyone who dared to jump, and he didn't care about reputation or not.

Although Zhu Biao had the same moral character as Zhu Yuanzhang, he was still not as good as Zhu Yuanzhang.

Although he can be said to be decisive in killing, he is currently unable to be like Zhu Yuanzhang, who can kill anyone he wants and drag people out of the court meeting and kill them for any reason.

It’s not that he was reluctant, but his personality was not like that of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Killing is okay, but it has to be reasonable and follow rules!

Then, in just a few days, all the court officials had figured out his tactics clearly.

Immediately afterwards, all the court officials began to increase their strength against the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

It was precisely because of this that Zhu Biao frowned while reading the memorials, and even after hearing the eunuch's report, he was still muttering to himself.

"Neptune?"

"Oh, it's my uncle!"

"Song Ren, let someone in!"

Song Ren, who was standing beside him with his head bowed, answered politely, and then tiptoed out of the Jinshen Hall silently.

"Li Huairen, the head of the Xuanjiaofang Department, is here to see you!"

The voice was sharp yet somewhat majestic, spreading from the door of Jinshen Palace to the surrounding areas.

Li Huairen took a deep breath upon hearing this, tightened the stack of files in his arms, and then walked into the Jinshen Hall in an orderly manner.

This was his first time entering the Jinshen Hall, and even his first time entering the palace.

To the extent that, it took him a lot of energy just to recall the rules of the palace on the way, and now that he had finally arrived at the Jinshen Palace, he was even more nervous.

So much so that his walking posture became a little stiff.

Slowly walking to a place about three meters away from the imperial desk, Li Huairen was about to move forward, but he found that the eunuch was staring at him fiercely with a stern face.

Only then did he realize belatedly that this was the most common place a minister could go.

Thinking of this, he sighed in his heart and thought that this should be a place that ordinary ministers could reach.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

If Master Hu came here, he would probably be in trouble even if he walked to the imperial desk.

I have to admit, people are like this sometimes. When they are nervous, either their minds go blank or they just start to daydream.

So much so that even though Li Huairen had clearly arrived at the place where he was supposed to stand, he was stunned because of some thoughts in his mind.

This made Song Ren unhappy.

Where did this little bastard come from?

You don't understand the rules at all, right?

Why is it like a stick?

Unfortunately, he was now in the Jinshen Hall, right under Zhu Biao's nose, so he couldn't even open his mouth to curse, and could only cough heavily twice.

"Cough cough..."

Hearing this voice, Li Huairen was immediately startled.

Then his eyes fell on Song Ren, whose expression looked increasingly strange.

Looking at the other person's expression that seemed to be getting more and more unable to hold back, Li Huairen realized it belatedly.

Oh, I haven’t saluted yet?

Realizing this problem, he quickly put the files in his hand aside, knelt on the ground and shouted.

"Your humble servant, Li Huairen, the head of the Music Bureau, pays respect to Your Majesty!"

"No gift!"

In fact, Zhu Biao had just looked at Li Huairen several times.

Unfortunately, he neither saw the demeanor of a well-educated man nor the bearing of a senior court official in Li Huairen. Instead, he felt that this man was a bit foolish.

How come you are still stunned even though you are in this Jinshen Palace?

Fortunately, the two sides finally completed the greetings. Li Huairen did not delay and immediately took out the folded letter written by Master Hu from his arms and handed it out.

Song Ren took the letter reluctantly and turned to present it to Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao took it, spread it out and took just a glance, then he confirmed that it was the handwriting of Master Hu.

Then, after taking a closer look, Zhu Biao's brows slowly furrowed.

After he read it twice, he looked up at Li Huairen who was lowering his head opposite him.

"Master Li, I want to ask you, why did my uncle go to your Jiaofang Division today?"
