Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

The night passes and the sun rises.

The sun rises in the east, and the Forbidden City is bathed in golden light. Against the backdrop of the red palace walls, the place is full of majesty and solemnity!

"Your Majesty, yesterday at the Meridian Gate, several senior officials and censors were beaten to death by the Xunwei."

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Wei Zhongxian, who was serving the emperor to wash himself, took advantage of a break to reveal the condition of the imperial staff yesterday, his slight frown revealing his inner anxiety.

"Where are the other Yanguan censors?"

Zhu Youxiao spat out the mouthwash, glanced at Wei Zhongxian and asked.

"Many of them fainted and were carried away."

Wei Zhongxian lowered his head and said.

"Hmph~ Are you really fainting, or are you just pretending?"

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, "Is there anyone gathering outside the Meridian Gate right now?"

"No...no."

Wei Zhongxian said truthfully.

From beginning to end, Zhu Youxiao never asked who were the Yanguan censors who were beaten to death.

In Zhu Youxiao's eyes, in the current special situation, anyone or anything who dares to contradict or threaten the imperial power must take a tough stance to express his position!

If you dare to make any concessions during this period, the consequences will be disastrous!

"This matter will probably cause quite a ripple between the government and the opposition, right?"

Zhu Youxiao lifted up the sleeves of his robe and walked towards the Luohan bed by the window. Wei Zhongxian followed behind with his head lowered. At this time, Liu Ruoyu arranged for someone to bring breakfast.

"Your Majesty, there is a lot of discussion between the government and the public right now, a lot..." Wei Zhongxian said hesitantly as Zhu Youxiao lifted his robe and sat down.

Zhu Youxiao, who saw this scene, knew from Wei Zhongxian's reaction that there was public opinion outside the palace, and he was afraid that some bad remarks had already been spread everywhere.

"Okay, go and convey my decree, and lead the guards up and down to the Qianqing Palace. I want to see them." Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand to Wei Zhongxian.

"The slaves obey the order."

Wei Zhongxian felt relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Because of the incident of the Meridian Staff, not only officials in the outer dynasty were in trouble, but also people in the public had different opinions. Wei Zhongxian, who was in charge of the East Jishi Factory, could easily know all kinds of even some exaggerated remarks. It made Wei Zhongxian break into a cold sweat.

He was afraid that these remarks would reach the imperial court and make the emperor angry.

But Wei Zhongxian didn't know that Zhu Youxiao had already predicted this when he ordered the guards to stand at the Meridian Gate. Zhu Youxiao even had a hidden thought.

That is, through the incident of the Meridian Palace Staff, the civil servants group in Beijing and the noble group in Beijing were completely opposed. Only in this way can checks and balances be achieved.

If you want to consolidate and enhance the imperial power, it is not enough to rely on factory guards alone. You must achieve checks and balances on all parties in the central court. The emperor will not end easily. Only in this way can it achieve the desired results!

Wei Zhongxian did not see this, but Zhang Weixian, who was in charge of the Royal Imperial Army, a British prince who had experienced ups and downs, had figured it out very early.

After all, he had been attacking the prince since the Wanli Dynasty, and he had never experienced any big storms. But just thinking about this made Zhang Weixian feel awe in his heart!

The emperor seemed different from before.

This made Zhang Weixian naturally think of Xiyuan falling into the water. I am afraid that after experiencing this incident, the emperor knew that the past way was no longer effective, so he planned to change the way to control the court!

Outside Qianqing Palace.

Just because of Zhu Youxiao's decree, many people gathered. The emperor wanted to summon the honor guards. This not only excited the noble disciples, but even alarmed Zhang Weixian and Zhang Qingzhen.

The noble disciples wearing mountain armor stood outside the Qianqing Palace with their heads high and their chests high. They all wore wild goose feather knives on their waists. Many of the noble disciples had excitement on their brows.

After all, it is a rare honor to be summoned by the emperor, even if they are of extremely high birth. How can anyone see the emperor's holy face if they want to?

"Your Majesty is here~"

I don't know how long it took, but a loud voice sounded, causing all the distinguished disciples standing here to endure the pain in their legs and raise their hands to bow to the emperor.

"Greetings to Your Majesty!!"

Surrounded by a crowd of people, Zhu Youxiao walked forward with his head held high, scanning the honor guards gathered in front of him, but he did not feel any surprise in his heart.

Too lazy.

Before coming out of Dong Nuan Pavilion, Zhu Youxiao observed the performance of these honorary guards through the window. Except for a few, their performance was pretty good, but the vast majority were not worth mentioning at all.

Living a luxurious life for too long has already hollowed out the bodies of most of them. If the important palace guards are handed over to such a team, something might happen.

"No gifts."

Zhu Youxiao gathered his thoughts, looked around at the many honorary guards in front of him, and said in a calm tone: "I know your performance yesterday at the Meridian Court Staff. Yes, you have not lost the martial arts."

Although deep down in Zhu Youxiao's heart, he was not very satisfied with Xunwei's performance, Zhu Youxiao did not say any words to attack him. On the contrary, he said words of encouragement.

Zhang Weixian, Zhang Qingzhen, and Wei Shitai who were standing nearby had different expressions on their faces when they heard what the emperor said. Especially Zhang Weixian, who intuitively told him that things were not simple.

Does the emperor attach great importance to honor guards?

Those scrutinizing eyes scanned the distinguished disciples gathered in front of him, especially when he saw many distinguished disciples with a proud and excited expression on their faces, but Zhang Weixian frowned.

He, Zhang Weixian, knows what kind of virtues most of these honorable men in Beijing have. They are obsessed with life and money, hanging around and spending a lot of money. Each of them is better than the other, but if they are asked to do hard work, they will not be able to get much. Every day, everyone has to give up their picks.

They grew up with a golden spoon in their mouths. Even if most of them have no chance to become nobles, they can enjoy the glory and wealth for the rest of their lives. This is by no means difficult.

Tell them to suffer?

Who can bear this!

"You are all my noble sons and daughters of the Ming Dynasty, and you are my trustworthy sons and daughters."

While Zhang Weixian was thinking about it, Zhu Youxiao said at that time: "Since you have been selected to join the Xunwei and serve in the palace, you must perform well. I am very optimistic about you. From now on, the Xunwei will be stationed in Xiyuan for training. I will send someone to take charge, I hope you won’t disappoint me!”

"I will obey your orders!"

Under Zhu Youxiao's praise and expectations, all the distinguished disciples gathered here, all of them couldn't hide their excitement. In their eyes, if they can get such attention from the emperor, they must perform well.

It's just that they don't know what kind of suffering they will face next.

"British Duke."

"Chen is here!"

Looking at Zhang Weixian who was bowing and saluting, Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and said: "Select a group of generals who know how to drill from the Royal Forbidden Army as soon as possible. The Xunwei must be able to take charge. In the next period of time, the Xunwei will be in Xiyuan. Receive training in the inner training ground.”

"The minister obeys the order."

Zhang Weixian responded immediately.

With the mentality of reusing waste, Zhu Youxiao will train Xunwei hard. Even if he is to serve as a proton, he still needs to practice. If he can stand out some malleable talents, Zhu Youxiao will definitely make a profit from this deal. As for If nobles are involved during this period, then deal with it how you should deal with it...
