Ming Dynasty Emperor Chat Group: Zhu Qizhen Quits The Group At The Beginning

27: Taizu and Chengzu came one after another, and the Chongzhen court officials were confused.

This Tianchengzu, why didn’t he tell us to stand up? My knees are sore from kneeling…

Although they were puzzled, no one at the scene dared to stand up without permission before Zhu Gaoxun spoke.

“By inspection”

“The grandchildren are here!”

Zhu Gaoxun walked forward, stopped in front of the emperor, pointed at the officials and sneered:”Tell me, why are these people so afraid of me?”

Seeing Zhu Gaoxun asking, Zhu Youjian said without hesitation:”Tianchengzu, you are extraordinary and heroic, and it is natural for these people to be convinced by you…….”

Before Zhu Youjian could finish his words, Zhu Gaoxun interrupted him,”What a bullshit! They are afraid of me, they are afraid of the 10,000 troops outside my palace!”

Zhu Youjian didn’t expect that he was flattering the horse and hit the horse’s leg. He immediately said embarrassedly,”Ancestor Tiancheng, what you are teaching me is that grandchildren think things are too simple.”

Using Zhu Zhan’an to replace Zhu Youjian was definitely something Zhu Gaoxun had planned. But Zhu Gaoxun’s arrangement for Zhu Youjian actually required Zhu Youjian to have some ability…….

“Dignity comes from the knife.” Zhu Gaoxun said to Zhu Youjian earnestly,”Seventeen years ago, when you had just ascended the throne, you killed Wei Zhongxian under the deception of the Donglin Party. Where do you think the problem lies?”

Zhu Youjian then realized that his ancestor was teaching him the way of being an emperor.

But shouldn’t these things be discussed in private?

Zhu Youjian hesitated and said,”Ancestor Tiancheng, all the officials are here. It would be inappropriate to discuss these issues in front of them…….”

“Afraid of shit!” Zhu Gaoxun’s eyes swept across the whole place, and all the officials immediately trembled with fear,”Who of them dares to say a word? I told you to speak, so you speak.”

Seeing Zhu Gaoxun so overbearing, none of the officials dared to jump out and contradict him. Zhu Youjian sincerely admired and envied him.

Thinking back to what happened seventeen years ago, Zhu Youjian pondered for a long time and said:”My grandson is wrong. He shouldn’t have been so stubborn. He should have taken action after being fully prepared. In this way, court officials will be restrained because of the eunuchs, and will not be so unscrupulous in deceiving their superiors and subordinates and acting recklessly.”

“This young man is teachable.”

Seeing that Zhu Youjian could still be saved, Zhu Gaoxun nodded and said,”The East and West Factories are the royal family’s servants. With them, the civil officials dare not wantonly join the party. At least on the surface, they will be more restrained.”

“Another stupid thing you did was to abolish your own martial arts and weaken the Jinyiwei, which resulted in you sitting on the throne like a blind man…….”

At this point, Zhu Gaoxun glanced at Luo Yangxing coldly, pointed at him and said,”A dog like this who colluded with civil officials and did not take the royal family seriously is worthy of being called Jinyiwei?” Being named and insulted by Zhu Gaoxun, Luo Yangxing was furious and wanted to fight Zhu Gaoxun on the spot, but he was frightened by the army outside the door and did not dare to move.

Who is this Tian Chengzu? He is so scary that just a few short words made him almost unable to breathe.

Just as Luo Yangxing was terrified in his heart, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. But Zhu Gaoxun’s next words made him lose his soul!

“This guy was insulted by me so much that he probably wanted to kill me immediately, but he didn’t dare to make any move…….”Zhu Gaoxun looked at Zhu Youjian and said,”This is the benefit of having military power in your hands! As long as you have soldiers, the people below will not dare to deceive you! Even if they deceive, they will think about the consequences afterwards, and will not lead the crowd to oppress you like they are doing now.”

“As for the key departments like Jinyiwei, not only can they not be cut, but they should also be made bigger and stronger by appointing people you trust! Only when there is a knife hanging over the heads of court officials at any time, will they be in awe of you!”

Seeing Zhu Youjian thinking about something, Zhu Gaoxun said no more.

These words were enough for Zhu Youjian to digest. Zhu Youjian combined his own experience, and Zhu Gaoxun believed that he would soon understand the truth.

“Wang Chengen, come here.”

Wang Chengen was confused at the moment…….A few days ago, the emperor said that he was blessed by his ancestors. I didn’t expect that all this was true!

This Emperor Tiancheng was so domineering that people couldn’t help but be convinced.

Hearing Zhu Gaoxun’s call, Wang Chengen immediately stepped forward,”Lord Tiancheng, I am here, please tell me”

“You are very good! Among the eunuchs of the Zhu family, you are also considered to be loyal and righteous.”

“You are too kind. I just want to serve the emperor well.”

Wang Chengen was surprised and almost at a loss when he was suddenly praised by Zhu Gaolin. What he said was basically said instinctively.

“Go, move four brocade seats, there will be people coming later.”

Wang Chengen immediately accepted the order,”Yes!”

Someone else is coming? All the officials were trembling with fear, and their brains crashed again when they heard Zhu Gaoxun’s words.

Who will come next? Which emperor of the Ming Dynasty?

Looking at the few words that Emperor Tiancheng said, it is obvious that he is not easy to deal with. I am afraid it will be difficult today!

What Zhu Gaoxun taught Zhu Youjian just now, is it something that ordinary ministers can listen to?

At this time, no one envied Wei Zaode.

Smart people quickly reacted. What the Emperor Tiancheng said was clearly a sarcastic remark!

Wei Zaode bowed his head to the ground, wanting to cry but without tears. His heart was full of fear, but he dared not move at all. It was so uncomfortable.

Not long after, Wang Chengen brought people to move the brocade seats, and Zhu Gaoxun sat down directly, ignoring Zhu Youjian who was thinking on the side, and did not ask the officials in front of him to stand up.

“Fan Guang.”

Seeing Zhu Gaoxun calling, Fan Guang came over immediately and said,”I am here!”

“”Send out 7,000 men and have them disperse throughout the Forbidden City, guarding each city gate strictly without making any mistakes.” Zhu Gao looked at Wang Chengen,”You will take the men to discuss this matter, so as to avoid conflicts with the people at the city gates.”

After receiving the order, Fan Guang quickly carried it out, and the deputy general followed Wang Chengen to take over the various places in the Forbidden City.

In the hall, the hearts of all the officials fell to the bottom, and today was really difficult to end well…….

After a while, Zhu Youjian let out a long sigh and kowtowed to Zhu Gaoxun, saying,”Thank you for your guidance, Grandfather Tiancheng. I am very grateful to you.”

“Stop kneeling all the time.” Zhu Gaoxun pointed to the brocade seat next to him and said,”Sit down and wait for the other two to arrive.”

“”Grandchildren obey your command.”

Zhu Youjian sat down happily, looking at the ministers kneeling in front of him, trembling with fear, and felt very happy. It was really better than drinking twice as much thirst-quenching sour plum soup in midsummer! He felt very happy inside and out!

“”Here they come!”

Just then, golden lights appeared outside the palace. Zhu Youjian hurriedly stood up to greet them, followed by Zhu Gaoxun.

Taking this opportunity, all officials turned around quietly, wanting to see who was coming.

“How is it possible!?”

When Wei Zaode saw the two leading the group, he was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, trembling all over, and the sound of his teeth clashing against each other could be heard in the hall.
