In fact, it has always been the norm in the Ming Dynasty for new emperors to impose authority on them when they ascend the throne. Almost every emperor had to make some compromises with his ministers in the first one or two years.

As a result... in the history books, it is said that in the early years after a certain emperor ascended the throne, how diligent he was in his duties, how he redressed the injustice of some great emperors, promoted ministers who had been deposed in the past, or how he killed certain emperors. So did the close ministers of the previous dynasty.

This is all the result of the mutual checks and balances between the new king and the ministers. For the sake of world stability, the former made some gestures in exchange for more support despite his lack of prestige.

But today's atmosphere is particularly different.

Hu Guang's eyes slightly opened, he was furious, and he was about to stand up angrily, but was grabbed by Yang Rong.

Yang Rong silently shook his head at him.

At this time, I saw Zhu Gaochi saying: "The ministers are saying this, it seems... If I don't listen to the ministers, this world will perish."

At this moment, someone else stood up, but it was Liu Zhengwen, the imperial censor.

Liu Zhengwen said sternly: "Your Highness, success or failure depends on the Lord. Throughout history, if the Lord is wise, the world will surely prosper. And the way to be wise is to open up the road of speech, listen to the advice of loyal and good people, and be able to restrain one's selfish desires. Your Highness If you are known as a virtuous person, don’t you know this truth?”

Chen Ji, the previous doctor in the Ministry of War, also continued: "I also have a memorial here. I excerpted the situation of the rebellion of the people in various places since this year by the envoys, various prefectures and counties. Ten thousand people gathered in it. There are three places, and there are sixteen rooms for those with more than a thousand people. At this time, the court needs to rely on the local three divisions to suppress the bandits. At this time, to chill their hearts, how can they eliminate all the thieves in the world? ?”

Zhu Gaochi sneered and said: "How can you insist that the title of King of Song Dynasty...and the vassal status is a testamentary edict. This is just a rumor. But you regard the rumor as a testament. Isn't it ridiculous?"

Zhang Jing, the Minister of Rites, who was holding the decree in his hand, couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, everyone in the world believes that this is an absolutely true decree! What's more, Jin Gong, the great scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, has heard about Jin Gong's character and knowledge. , are famous all over the world, don’t you even believe in Duke Jin?”

Everyone's eyes fell on Jin Youzi.

Jin Youzi's expression was calm and he didn't say a word.

Zhu Gaochi said angrily with a cold face: "You guys are bullying me!"

"If the name is not right, then the words will not be right..." Someone stood up again, with a very determined attitude: "How dare you, ministers, to deceive the prince? This is the decree and the law of the ancestors. What the ministers have to do is to maintain discipline and prevent His Highness from being It is what a loyal minister should do to deceive others and bring unrest to the country. If he obeys and flatters everyone in everything, wouldn't he become like Qin Hui? Your Highness should think of the world and implement the edict to make all people feel at ease. If not, I'm afraid The world is dissatisfied."

"What do you mean by dissatisfaction?" Zhu Gaochi was very impressed by this man. He was also a veteran of three dynasties. He had been an official during Zhu Yuanzhang's time and was appreciated by Jianwen. However, he later voted for Zhu Di and is now at Honglu Temple. You have such a high position.

People who rank in the ninth rank are also very important.

Chen Zhendao, the minister of Honglu Temple, said: "Your Highness is a wise man, so why bother to get to the bottom of it?"

Zhu Gaochi said: "You mean...if I don't respect your edict, even if I assume the throne as emperor, will there be anyone who won't be convinced?"

"I dare not, I will be punished with death!"

Everyone bowed down with cheers.

But this kind of gesture is the most disgusting.

They are the ones who hide their secrets, and they are the ones who express non-cooperation. They are the ones who lower their posture and say that they will die and dare not.

It's like brown sugar that sticks to your body and makes you uncomfortable. If you want to peel it off, it will inevitably cause damage to your skin, hair and skin.

Zhu Gaochi's eyes widened with anger, and he said angrily: "If that's the case, then... I am not the emperor!"

After that, he waved his sleeves vigorously and left in a hurry.

This time, people were stunned.

No one expected that Zhu Gaochi was more willful than them.

So someone immediately said: "Your Highness, please respect the last decree of Emperor Daxing, that is, the throne of emperor!"

The crowd then shouted again: "Your Highness, please honor me..."

Many people will respect the four words of the decree and bite it very hard.

"The will...where did the will come from..."

Suddenly, a voice broke the situation.

Everyone was surprised, but for a moment they felt that the voice was very familiar.

So, some people subconsciously looked towards the source of the sound.

Unexpectedly, I saw Zhang Anshi, wearing a fish suit and carrying a sword on his waist, leading a group of Han generals to file in.

Zhang Anshi shouted: "What is the decree?"

The ministers were a little confused and even forgot to react for a moment.

It's okay, everyone is having temple disputes here. In fact, this kind of thing is quite common in the Ming Dynasty. Sometimes even if the fight is red-faced, it is actually their own business behind closed doors.

But this guy Zhang Anshi...acted unreasonably, and at this time, he brought in the Han general with the Jin Yiwei.

But Zhang Anshi's aura was overwhelming and he looked murderous.

But all of a sudden, it seemed like someone had grasped something.

In fact, those who can enter this palace are really not afraid that someone would dare to hold a knife to their necks.

But Zhang Anshi led troops into the palace, which actually gave others a handle and became a crime in the world.

"Zhang Anshi, what are you going to do? Are you going to rebel?"

"Get out!"

"Do you know where this place is!"

"Is Zhang Anshi trying to usurp us?"

Suddenly, the palace was boiling.

Zhang Anshi looked at them sideways, curling his lips and sneering.

Listening to the rising and falling voices, Zhang Anshi said coldly: "I just ask you, where did the will come from, and what is the will?"

Previously, Deng Hai, the censor, was the first to rush forward, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.

A censor like Deng Hai was a performing artist in his own right. He glared at Zhang Anshi angrily and shouted loudly: "Zhang Anshi, what do you want? If you want to usurp us, just step over me! You gentlemen... must not

Let this thief succeed..."

Snapped……

Zhang Anshi looked at the person running towards him, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and then he quickly raised his hand and slapped Deng Hai on the face.

Deng Hai never expected that Zhang Anshi would dare to take action. His eyes blurred, his head began to buzz, and his ears were so buzzing that he could no longer hear anything.

He was shocked, and was suddenly knocked to the ground. In fact, he only thought that Zhang Anshi was just seeing a quarrel inside, so he wanted to show off his power in the name of rescuing the driver.

No matter how majestic he is, he will never dare to make a mistake in this palace. As long as his posture is tougher than Zhang Anshi, Zhang Anshi will definitely roll out in despair.

But who would have expected...

"Ah..." Deng Hai wailed in pain.

But it was good that he didn't shout. When he shouted, several big Han generals behind Zhang Anshi immediately stepped forward to hold him down, and some even punched him directly in the mouth.

Snapped……

The palace was quiet.

There was only the sound of whining. A closer look revealed that Deng Hai's mouth was full of blood and he was squirming in pain on the ground.

Zhang Anshi's face was ashen, and his eyes showed murderous intent.

At this moment, the real teaching officials realized that things had gone beyond their expectations.

But before they could react, more Han generals began to file into the palace, each carrying a sword and filled with murderous intent.

Zhang Anshi frowned and looked at them coldly: "Who else... wants to say something?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Anshi in shock, but remained silent.

"Since you don't say it, then I will." Zhang Anshi said.

"I have something to say." At this moment, someone finally couldn't bear it any longer.

But it was the Minister of Honglu Temple, a veteran of the Honglu Temple for three dynasties. Although he felt scared at this time, he also realized that in this position, he had to do something.

"May I ask His Highness the King of Song Dynasty?" asked the minister of Honglu Temple: "What do you want from His Highness when he brings troops into the palace?"

Facing this malicious questioning, Zhang Anshi raised his head and said: "Act according to the order!"

The minister of Honglu Temple sneered: "Whose order is this?"

Zhang Anshi said without changing his expression: "Of course it is Your Majesty!"

The ministers of Honglu Temple pressed forward step by step: "Your Highness has ascended the throne..."

Zhang Anshi looked at him sarcastically and said, "I'm talking about His Majesty Emperor Yongle!"
