Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

Knocking at the Meridian Gate, hundreds of officials kneeling to remonstrate... In a sense, they are all products of the struggle between imperial power and ministerial power. If interests are harmed in a certain struggle, there will be a group of stubborn civil servants who will be in the situation. Standing up in times of turmoil, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, if you cannot handle it properly, not only will your dignity be damaged, but you will also be constrained in the court.

"Your Majesty! You shouldn't be so arbitrary!!"

"Your Majesty! The people in the capital and Gyeonggi are suffering!!"

"His Majesty!!"

Outside the Huangji Gate, a large number of officials from the foreign court were kneeling. They were wearing various official robes and holding court scepters, and they all shouted emotionally towards the Huangji Gate.

The sound was so loud that it resounded through the sky! !

"These guys are all crazy!!"

At a place outside the Huangji Gate, Zhang Qingzhen, the left governor of the Royal Forbidden Army, showed anxiety with his hands hanging down tightly, "How dare they rush from the Zuoshun Gate to the Huangji Gate and cause such a scene here?" There’s movement!!”

"Yes!"

The right governor, Wei Shitai, frowned and stared at the farce in front of him, "Have they forgotten how Emperor Shizongsu handled this matter when it happened during his reign?"

Wei Shitai, who had previously been ordered to leave Beijing and rush to recruit troops in Henan and Shandong, had recruited enough new soldiers and returned to the capital when farce occurred in the capital and Gyeonggi. Now all the new soldiers belonging to the Royal Forbidden Army were placed in the Fengtai Camp. During the training, Wei Shitai never expected that this farce with surging undercurrents would eventually evolve into the scene today.

This also reminded Wei Shitai of the Zuo Shunmen officials kneeling down to remonstrate!

That was the product of the Great Rites Controversy.

It was also because of this incident that the Yili faction gradually suppressed the Shuli faction. In the end, the battle ended with a complete victory for the Yili faction.

I never expected that in the Tianqi Dynasty, hundreds of officials would kneel down to remonstrate again.

You must know that even in the Wanli Dynasty, due to a dispute over the country's foundation, the situation of the DPRK was disturbed and various parties and factions in the DPRK gathered together, but even though that was the case, this situation did not happen.

This nature is too bad! !

"Mr. British, what should I do next?" Seeing Zhang Weixian's silence, Zhang Qingzhen seemed a little anxious. This is no small matter.

Nowadays, all matters concerning the imperial guards in the imperial city and the palace city are under the jurisdiction of the Royal Imperial Guard Office. Under such circumstances, something like this actually happened.

If the emperor thinks too much, their end will not be much better.

There is collusion between inside and outside, even if you are a noble person, you can't handle it! !

"Grand Governor."

At this moment, a Forbidden Army general walked quickly. Under the watchful eyes of Zhang Qingzhen and Wei Shitai, he walked to Zhang Weixian and whispered, "All the rotating generals at Zuoshunmen have been controlled."

"Follow this line and check!"

Zhang Weixian, however, did not hide it, and said in a low voice: "Find out all the people in the Royal Guards House, especially the direct guards under their jurisdiction, who have connections with outside the palace. This matter must be done." If it doesn’t work well, not only you, but also me, too, will be waiting to commit suicide to apologize!”

"Here!"

The Imperial Guard general suppressed his surprise and immediately responded with clasped fists.

Zhang Qingzhen and Wei Shitai looked at each other with surprise in their hearts. At this moment, they knew why Zhang Weixian was acting like this. It turned out that he wanted to find out the evildoer.

Think about it.

Zuoshun Gate, facing Huangji Gate to the west and Donghua Gate to the east, is the place where civil and military officials in the capital receive their orders. When these officials gathered at Zuoshun Gate, the generals who were on duty here did not report to the inner court. The Imperial Guards Office and the Royal Guards Office reported the situation until the number of people reached a certain level and the guards on duty could not stop them. Then they went to report in a panic.

But it was too late.

The officials from the foreign dynasties who gathered together swarmed towards the Huangji Gate. Although there were guards of the imperial army to stop them, some of the officials and censors in the team were so eloquent that the guards of the imperial army could not stop them at all. , and this evolved into the current farce.

"British Duke..."

Wei Shitai stepped forward at this time.

"They are all small fish and shrimps."

Zhang Weixian interrupted, staring at the officials in front of him, "It's said that hundreds of officials are kneeling to remonstrate, but they are all petty officials, and there are people behind them who are adding fuel to the flames."

"Then what should we do next?"

Zhang Qingzhen heard this and asked in a low voice.

"Wait, then."

Zhang Weixian said: "Your Majesty is coming soon, just maintain order."

"What about the inside of the Imperial Guards Palace?"

Wei Shitai said worriedly.

"I can solve it."

Zhang Weixian said with sharp eyes: "Some people are unreasonable and want to take advantage of this turmoil to throw dirty water on us and sever His Majesty's trust in us. Since they dare to do this, don't blame me for turning against you." Got it!!”

When Zhang Weixian said this, Zhang Qingzhen and Wei Shitai felt at ease.

Without him.

Since the death of Emperor Shenzongxian, to the death of Emperor Guangzongzhen, and now to the present day, many major events have occurred during that period. Zhang Weixian has stepped forward at every critical period. Even in recent years, Zhang Weixian has not been outstanding. Dew, but no one can deny Zhang Weixian's awesomeness!

Zhang Weixian is good at not taking action. Once he does, it will be amazing!

This is the style of a great Ming Dynasty noble and a hereditary British prince! !

What Zhang Qingzhen and Wei Shitai didn't know was that at this moment, deep in Zhang Weixian's heart, he had already made up his mind that all the direct guards under the jurisdiction of the Royal Forbidden Army Mansion would undergo another strict screening and screening, and even Tens of thousands of new recruits stationed in the Fengtai Camp will also be screened and screened again.

As the Grand Governor of the Royal Forbidden Army, the Emperor valued him very much. The post of Grand Governor had never been established in the Ming Dynasty after the Grand Governor's Palace was split into the Five Army Governor's Palace. However, the Emperor gave him such an honor. Got him Zhang Weixian.

If he can't even handle the Royal Guards Mansion, then he won't be able to take the position of Grand Governor.

"Your Majesty is here!!"

Just as Zhang Weixian was thinking, a deep voice sounded, and along with several whips, a mighty team was seen slowly coming out of the Huangji Gate.

At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly changed.

A gust of breeze came.

The sun looked dazzling.

Zhu Youxiao leaned on the cushions and sat on the sedan chair carried by more than a dozen young eunuchs. He looked coldly at the foreign officials kneeling in front of him.

"quiet!!!"

The moment the sedan chair appeared at the Huangji Gate, shouts and shouts rang out, and the guards around the Huangji Gate were seen, led by generals at all levels, in awe.

Zhang Weixian, Zhang Qingzhen, Wei Shitai and others were running quickly towards the imperial court with their heads lowered. Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao had a faint smile on his lips.

There are quite a lot of cunning people in the central court.

Instigating such a farce, first of all, I made myself suspicious of Zhang Weixian and the others. After all, if there is such a bad thing as hundreds of officials kneeling down to remonstrate, as the emperor, he will inevitably doubt the people around him.

But how did they know that the nobles who can be elected to the Royal Guards House are, without exception, loyal and reliable. Maybe they have shortcomings of one kind or another, but their loyalty is unquestionable.

Zhu Youxiao knows better than anyone what happened during the national crisis in Jiashen!

"I am guilty, please Your Majesty..."

"Can it be solved?"

Looking at the people kneeling down to plead guilty, Zhu Youxiao leaned forward and did not ask why this happened. Instead, he looked at Zhang Weixian.

"I can solve it."

Of course Zhang Weixian knew what the emperor meant, and he should tell the truth.

"I can rest assured that your ministers are doing their work."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "From now on, I don't want anything to go wrong in the Royal Forbidden Army Mansion."

"Sir, you understand!"

Several people immediately bowed in response.

Especially Zhang Qingzhen and Wei Shitai's anxious hearts dropped at this moment, and at the same time, a warm current grew in their hearts.

Even if something of such a bad nature happened, the emperor never doubted them.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

In this era, the king chooses his ministers, and the ministers choose their king. If there is no trust between them, it is all nonsense.

"According to my decree, I will summon the ministers, court ministers, ministers, nobles, etc. in Beijing to Huangjimen." Looking at the officials kneeling on the ground, Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "Since If something like this happens, they want to hang it up, but that’s impossible, I want to look into the case!!”

"I will do it immediately!"

Zhang Weixian hurriedly bowed his head and responded, but deep down in his heart he also knew that it was already impossible to raise this matter!

A storm has quietly arisen...
