Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

Time passes minute by minute.

The imperial staff continues.

"Your Majesty!! No more fighting!!"

In the courtroom outside the Huangji Gate, Gu Bingqian, the chief minister of the cabinet, held the imperial wat and walked quickly towards the imperial court. Under the vigilant gaze of some imperial guards, Gu Bingqian knelt down and bowed to the emperor.

"If the fight continues, they will all die!!"

Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly and looked down at Gu Bingqian who was kneeling on the ground. At this moment, Zhu Youxiao's disgust for the chief minister of the cabinet could be said to have reached a new height.

The cabinet is supposed to share the worries of the king and care for the country. However, I don’t know since when, the cabinet is either a representative of the imperial power or a representative of peace!

The present predicament of the Ming Dynasty does not have an absolute relationship with the cabinet, but at least it has a relative relationship!

"Your Majesty, we can't fight any longer!!"

"Your Majesty, we can't fight anymore!!"

With Gu Bingqian taking the lead, Second Assistant Wei Guangwei, Group Assistant Zhu Yanxi, Zhou Rupan, Huang Liji and others, as well as ministers such as Li Qiyuan, Minister of Household Affairs, Xue Sansheng, Minister of Rites, Liu Zuo, Minister of Works, etc., all came out of the court one after another. .

Some ministers, such as Yuan Keli, the Minister of War, and Cui Chengxiu, the Minister of Punishments, may have wanted to advise the emperor not to continue the war, but due to various considerations, they did not follow suit.

Especially Yuan Keli, the Minister of War.

He knew that there must be a group of people behind the so-called kneeling remonstration at Huangjimen, and that was precisely the reason why he could not follow the officials to remonstrate with him.

The water in the central hall is too deep.

If the emperor did not handle the matter of Huangjimen's kneeling to remonstrate properly this time, then there is no telling what will happen in this court next.

"Since they choose to use this method to question me and criticize me, I can indeed forgive them, but the "Imperial Imperial Order" set by Emperor Taizu Gao cannot forgive them!"

Faced with the situation in front of him, Zhu Youxiao lifted his robe and stood up from the throne, stepping on Danbi and walking forward, "When there was turmoil in the capital and Gyeonggi, I didn't see them stand up. When they took in and resettled the refugees, they , I didn’t see them stand up, and when I asked Jingdong and other places about land reclamation, I didn’t see them stand up!”

"On the contrary, now one by one has jumped out. Without the knowledge of the cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Six Ministries and other major officials, they have connected together in private, disregarding the majesty of our court's laws, breaking into the palace without permission, and gathering together If they go to the Huangji Gate to make a so-called kneeling remonstrance, even if I beat them all to death, I still have the right to do this!!"

Zhu Youxiao's voice was not loud, and his expression did not even change. Zhu Youxiao didn't care whether these courtiers could hear what he said.

The emperor must have the majesty of the emperor.

When Zhu Youxiao said these words, the eunuchs and guards standing everywhere sang what the emperor said one by one. And when all the civil and military officials gathered at Huangji Gate listened to these words of the emperor, many of them were stunned. His expression changed.

Through what the emperor said, many people figured out what the emperor was thinking.

These officials who are currently being punished by the court are afraid that it will be difficult for them to live!

In fact, in Zhu Youxiao's eyes, these people who were imprisoned were actually dead.

Since their allegiance is not to the Emperor of Heaven.

What's the use of keeping it?

Just die.

Anyway, there is no shortage of people in Ming Dynasty who want to be officials.

These people who accept the imperial staff can only be from the fifth rank. Even if they are all beaten to death today, there will be a group of candidates tomorrow.

The recruitment of officials from the fifth rank and below cannot be delivered to the imperial court at all, and can be solved by the ministers in the outer court. After all, there are too many such positions. If they are all troublesome to the emperor, what major military and political affairs will be dealt with?

"I know why they came to Huangjimen."

Zhu Youxiao stood with his hands behind his hands, without even looking at the officials who were about to be beaten to death. He said with a half-smile, "Isn't it because I specially ordered the Shuntian Government Office and the Disaster Relief Office to send personnel to all the gates inside and outside the capital to monitor them? The good thing of smuggling into Beijing at will was directly strangled?"

One word stirred up a thousand waves.

As these words were spoken, whether they were kneeling in front of the emperor to admonish, or standing in the courtroom, some people's hearts skipped a beat. They tried hard to control their emotions, but their heartbeats inevitably accelerated a lot.

No one expected that the emperor would point it out directly.

"If they hadn't come to this point, I'm afraid they wouldn't have broken into the palace and gathered at the Huangji Gate to make a so-called kneel to remonstrate."

Zhu Youxiao glanced around and said in a slightly low tone: "The price of food in the capital and Gyeonggi has been driven up to that point. I have never seen them petitioning for the people. I have seen them shamelessly, but I have never seen them like this." Shameless!!”

The atmosphere outside Huangji Gate changed.

"hurry up!"

"Follow!"

At this moment, the noise caused by a team coming from the Meridian Gate made many people standing in the morning class subconsciously turn around and rush away.

I saw Wei Zhongxian, the admiral of the East Jishi Factory, and Fang Zhenghua, the admiral of the West Jishi Factory, surrounded by countless factory workers, rushing towards Huangjimen.

In the mighty factory team, many people were being held captive.

"Is it Mr. Wei Chang?"

"Is this a copy from the East Factory? Or is it from the West Factory?"

"I don't know!"

"Who are those people who were arrested!?"

Such commotion caused many courtiers to discuss in low voices.

What is happening now is beyond many people’s expectations.

"Slave... Wei Zhongxian, pay your respects to the Emperor!"

"Slave...Fang Zhenghua, pay your respects to the Emperor!"

Facing countless surprised and suspicious glances, Wei Zhongxian and Fang Zhenghua quickly ran towards the imperial court as they arrived at the Huangji Gate. When they arrived in front of Zhu Youxiao, they bowed respectfully.

"Everyone has been arrested?"

Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the two of them.

"Your Majesty, we've all been arrested."

Fang Zhenghua glanced at Wei Zhongxian, bowed hurriedly and said goodbye.

"Then let me catch all the traitors hiding in the center."

Zhu Youxiao flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked towards the throne.

"Here!"

At this moment, Wei Zhongxian suppressed the panic in his heart and responded with a slightly trembling tone.

As for Fang Zhenghua, he maintained his bowing posture.

What's going on?

When the civil and military ministers standing in the imperial court saw the emperor walking towards the throne, many of them felt uneasy in their hearts.

"Someone is coming!!"

As a voice sounded, the expressions of the ministers standing in the class changed.

"For our general Fengcheng Marquis Li Chengzuo, for Taichang Temple Shaoqing Cao Sicheng, for the left military officer Li Lusheng..." Facing countless looks, Wei Zhongxian turned around and shouted with sharp eyes.

Although Li Chengzuo, Cao Sicheng, Li Lusheng and others whose names were read were standing in various places in the court, at this moment, they all felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar. Their whole bodies were shaking uncontrollably, and their expressions were even changed. Become panicked.

"Fengcheng Hou Li Chengzuo!!"

"Taichang Temple Young Minister Cao Sicheng!!"

"The military department is on the right track..."

Dozens of people who accompanied Wei Zhongxian into the palace rushed into the imperial court when they heard the shouts from their own factory.

"Let me go!!"

"What an injustice!!"

"Mr. Wei Chang, why do you want to arrest this official!!"

Zhu Youxiao, who lifted his robe and sat down, watched the scene in front of him quietly. When he saw Li Chengzuo, Cao Sicheng, and Li Lusheng being arrested by the Dongjishi Factory, the civil and military officials standing around him subconsciously turned to the side. Avoiding it, a slight smile appeared on Zhu Youxiao's lips.

This is the current situation of Ming Dynasty.

This is the cruelty of human nature.

Regarding the farce in front of him, Zhu Youxiao had no other thoughts except to laugh, but in such an atmosphere, Zhu Youxiao had to restrain his emotions.

Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian, I just want you to take a good look at what kind of faces these people who join your service have.

Zhu Youxiao's deep eyes looked at Wei Zhongxian's back. Although Wei Zhongxian tried hard to control his emotions, Zhu Youxiao could still see Wei Zhongxian's hand trembling slightly uncontrollably...
