Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

The imperial court hearing is a form in which the emperor personally goes to Huangji Gate to preside over the court meeting, listens to the reports or speeches of the cabinet and ministers of various ministries, conducts discussions, makes decisions, issues edicts, and implements them. Because it is done early in the morning, so Also called morning dynasty.

However, because the process was extremely cumbersome and lengthy, many kings did not like to hold it.

The representative among them is undoubtedly Emperor Wanli.

During the Wanli Dynasty, the three main halls were accidentally burned down. Although the rebuilding of the three main halls was mentioned several times, it was shelved for various reasons. This made the two emperors Taichang and Tianqi have to convene the Imperial Gate to hear the government. Choose to hold it at Qianqing Gate.

It's just that the short-lived Emperor Taichang died after only a few convenings at the Imperial Gate to listen to the government. Emperor Tianqi did hold many convenings when he came to the throne, but he couldn't bear to get up too early, and the situation in the DPRK was changeable. , and gradually reduce the number of meetings until they are no longer held.

The emperor actually issued a special summons for the imperial court hearing that had not been held for a long time, which surprised the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty when they first heard about it.

For a time, there were many people in the court discussing this matter privately.

……

slap~

The crisp sound of whips sounded at the Qianqing Gate.

"Your Majesty is here!"

"kneel!"

Shouts rang out from the Qianqing Gate. Zhu Youxiao, who got off the sedan chair, walked toward the throne. The civil and military ministers gathered outside the Qianqing Gate followed the etiquette and knelt down in front of the emperor.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

The shouts of the mountain made Zhu Youxiao's heart beat faster on the throne. Looking around at the ministers kneeling in front of him, Zhu Youxiao finally understood why so many people wanted to be the emperor.

Being drunk and lying on the knees of a beautiful woman, waking up to take control of the world, and making the world surrender at his feet. This temptation alone is irresistible to anyone.

"No gifts."

Zhu Youxiao calmed down, waved his hands and said, while Wei Zhongxian, who was serving in front of the emperor, walked a few steps forward with his head held high and sang to the kneeling ministers.

After hearing this letter, the ministers bowed again one after another, and then stood up from various places. Speaking of which, not all the civil servants who came to attend the Imperial Gate to listen to the government this time were all civil servants in Beijing. If they really want to hold a court meeting of that kind, It belongs to the highest level of the Great Court Meeting.

No wonder many kings of the Ming Dynasty did not like to hold court in the morning. Who could stand to wake up so early every day?

Zhu Youxiao, who was leaning on the cushions, glanced at the dim sky, feeling sad and sighing in his heart. It was because of some things that he would not convene this imperial court hearing!

Some things can be postponed.

Some things cannot be postponed.

If the imperial government does not open up today and some things are not finalized, the roots of the Ming Dynasty will be eaten away by a bunch of rat scum!

"I think many people are wondering why I suddenly held a political hearing."

Thinking of this, Zhu Youxiao leaned forward, glanced ahead and said, "For no other reason, I just want to talk about my assassination in Xiyuan, and at the same time, I want to talk about the government affairs, so that some people will not say in private that I am neglecting government affairs. , I feel that besides enjoying myself, I can hide in the palace and only like to do carpentry work!!"

Zhu Youxiao's voice was not loud, and could only be heard by the cabinet ministers, court ministers, ministers of the capital, and serving dignitaries who were close to the imperial court. As for the ministers who were farther away, eunuchs, eunuchs, and Han generals sang alternately, so that everyone could hear it. The emperor of the Qing Dynasty said that there was some commotion in the court class.

What the emperor said was too explicit.

Although the emperor's assassination caused a big storm when it was first reported to the court, and many people were uneasy, but later they learned some things, which caused many people to shift their attention. After all, the emperor was fine, but the emperor's decree had to be changed. In the central structure, in the end the latter is more important.

"end!!"

Seeing the commotion in the imperial court, the Han generals who were scattered throughout the Qianqing Gate, led by the subordinate generals, held their swords and shouted in a deep voice, which caused the civil and military ministers standing in front of them to stop talking.

There are rules and etiquette for court proceedings, and no one can violate them.

When the emperor ascended the throne, the whip was sounded, and the ministers participating in the court meeting had to kneel down and kowtow three times. After that, the ministers from the six ministries of the Nine Qing Dynasty played or presented memorials in turn, and the emperor made relevant decisions.

When the performance was over, there would be a censor responsible for correcting the etiquette and blowing the whip. The emperor would drive back to the palace and all the officials would exit. The court etiquette system is extremely strict. Officials are not allowed to make noise, whisper, cough, spit, etc. Otherwise, they will be severely punished for being disrespectful.

In the future, there will be such unlucky people who will lose their hat because of these small actions, and will never have anything to do with official career from then on.

"The case of Xiyuan falling into the water was a premeditated and organized assassination!"

After the court was settled in front of him, Zhu Youxiao continued: "The Jin Yiwei has been ordered to supervise the case. Whether it is the inner court, the outer court, or even the capital, many people have been arrested. I have been on the throne for more than five years. Unexpectedly There is actually a group of monsters and monsters hiding around me, haha, it’s really strange.”

Zhu Youxiao convened this imperial court hearing. Actually, what he wanted to talk about was not the Xiyuan assassination case. Zhu Youxiao had other political plans. However, before explaining what he thought, Zhu Youxiao felt that he should still bring this matter up. Speaking, this also made many people's thoughts become mixed.

What is supposed to come will eventually come.

Every one of the civil and military ministers gathered outside the Qianqing Gate knew that the emperor had determined that the emperor had fallen into the water, and that he had specially appointed the Jin Yiwei to supervise the case. What did it mean.

I'm afraid that if the truth of this case is not found out as soon as possible, once Jin Yiwei clings to it, I don't know how many people will be implicated in the future.

Even if you are not involved.

But Jin Yiwei said that if you participated, it would be over.

After all, plotting to assassinate the emperor is a capital crime that involves the nine clans!

Not even if there is just suspicion!

The atmosphere around Qianqingmen became depressing.

Many ministers who even thought about admonishing the emperor and asking the emperor to take back the decrees were retreating in their hearts. If this angered the emperor, the outcome would not be good.

"Your Majesty, I have this memorial!"

But in this situation, a discordant voice sounded.

Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the throne, frowned and looked at the court in front of him. He saw Ding Shaoshi, the assistant to the cabinet group, holding the court wat and walking towards the imperial court with his head lowered.

"What's the matter?"

Seeing Ding Shaoshi bowing and saluting, Zhu Youxiao, who was slightly dissatisfied, frowned and asked.

"Start your Majesty."

Ding Shaoshi bowed his head and said: "The case of Xiyuan falling into the water must be thoroughly investigated. If there are treacherous people who dare to plot to assassinate the emperor, this is a capital crime that involves the nine tribes. If the safety of the emperor cannot be guaranteed, then the stability of our country and the country will be at stake." How to guarantee it?”

Guess you know the truth.

Zhu Youxiao's slightly frowned eyebrows relaxed. He originally thought that Ding Shaoshi stood up to speak against him, but he didn't expect that his words were quite beautiful.

The case of Xiyuan falling into the water must not only be thoroughly investigated, but also made an ironclad case. As long as the culprit behind the scenes is not found out, the case will not end!

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao was prepared in his mind that he would use this case as an excuse to include some unsighted people in this case.

In the past, there were the four major Hongwu cases that attacked privileges, attacked ministerial power, and deterred those who were ready to take action. Later, there was the first case of Apocalypse. We must imitate the vigorous and vigorous trend of the early Ming Dynasty, and then rectify the broken atmosphere!

"But I believe that Your Majesty should put the country's interests first and should not act rashly!"

Later, Ding Shaoshi changed the topic, "Xiong Tingbi was convicted and punished together with Wang Huazhen for causing the fall of the Liaoxi guards. Although this case was quite controversial in the court, the basic facts are clear. Even though His Majesty is worried about the country and the world, he will not This criminal should be released from the prison for no reason, and he should be promoted to a special position according to the imperial edict. If this spreads all over the world, it may be unconvincing. I hereby implore your majesty to take back his life!"

After saying this, Ding Shaoshi knelt down in front of the emperor. Looking at Ding Shaoshi kneeling on the ground, Zhu Youxiao, who was originally smiling, gradually turned cold. It seemed that he had thought too much about everything.

Zhu Youxiao stared at Ding Shaoshi coldly and said in an indifferent tone: "So you are accusing me of not distinguishing between right and wrong?"

"I have no intention of doing so!"

Ding Shaoshi's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly explained: "I am just discussing the matter, Xiong Tingbi..."

"enough!!"

Zhu Youxiao interrupted sharply: "Well, let me just talk about the matter. Let me ask you, why didn't you just talk about the matter when I was assassinated in Xiyuan?"

"minister…"

Ding Shaoshi was speechless for a moment.

The fact that Emperor Jixiyuan fell into the water has indeed caused quite a stir in the DPRK. If there had not been a series of subsequent dismissals and special promotions, public opinion in the DPRK would have closely revolved around this matter.

However, the reality is that the three ministers of the Ministry of Li, Bing, and Punishment were deposed one after another, and even the Minister of War, Gao Di, was executed. In just a few days, the emperor made an arbitrary decision without deliberation and did not intend to make a court recommendation. He selected the candidate for Minister of War, and even released Xiong Tingbi who was imprisoned in Tianlao, and even asked him to assist in the military affairs of the Beijing camp. This had a great impact on the structure of the central court.
