Chapter 1845: On meritorious deeds

After the incident of seizing the door, the new emperor ascended the throne as quickly as possible. Today's Ming Dynasty, when it comes to power, it is actually allocated to two people.

One is to master Gu Dayong, who is the inner palace and factory guards, and the other is the Chief Auxiliary of the Cabinet.

As for the others, it seems insignificant. Many of the previous high-ranking and disinterested people have been eliminated this time to suppress the rebellion.

Ye Chunqiu left the pass and made his status transcendent. Because he was far away from the temple of the Ming Dynasty, no one was suspicious or suspicious of him. Although he was far away from Qinglong, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet Wang Hua was Ye Chunqiu's father-in-law. There would definitely be news from both sides. In the inner palace, there was also a great use of the valley that was secretly connected with him. In other words, although Ye Chunqiu was far away from the temple, he could still control the Ming Dynasty's affairs at any time, and even interfere to a certain extent when necessary.

This is of course for the sake of the palace. At the same time, it also has great benefits for Ye Chunqiu, because once the internal turmoil is turbulent, it may not be a good thing outside the pass.

When it comes to the temptation of the great authority in the court, when Ye Chunqiu refused firmly, Gu Dayong couldn't help but admire Ye Chunqiu's clever methods. Not everyone can choose this way, but Ye Chunqiu's cleverness lies in the fact that he can see clearly than anyone else. If he stayed in the capital, he would definitely be suspicious of countless people, but if he left, he would never have a great prospect.

The two chatted for a while, and it was getting late, so Ye Chunqiu had to enter the palace.

In fact, he was quite surprised in his heart, why did His Majesty specifically ask someone to attend the court meeting?

When he and Gu Da used the Meridian Gate, all the officials had already entered the court, and Ye Chunqiu accelerated his pace to the Taihe Palace.

When he entered the palace, he still carried his sword in his hand. This was the privilege Zhu Houzhao once gave him, but even so, when Ye Chunqiu arrived at the Palace of Supreme Harmony, he would always remove the sword unless it was a special situation.

But when Ye Chunqiu was about to untie the sword, the eunuch at the door said, "Your Highness, Your Majesty has given you a special order. Your Highness should bring a sword into the court. Your Majesty thinks that your Highness will feel more at ease when you bring a sword into the court."

This statement... made Ye Chunqiu laugh and did not object. Sometimes he was too dissatisfied, but instead he was too deformed.

So he stepped into the hall and saw that Zhu Zaiyao was already sitting high in the Golden Palace, and all the officials were in their seats.

Ye Chunqiu first raised his eyes and glanced at all civil and military officials. Many people looked at Ye Chunqiu with complex eyes. Many people showed their unique caution.

Now the atmosphere of the court has changed. Since the rebellion, the factory guards have been arresting the rebellion. Thinking about the number of people who cursed Yang Yiqing in this capital, the relationship between colleagues, classmates and fellow villagers has become even more complicated. Who is not surrounded by the rebellion who is involved in the rebellion?

Because of this, in this urgent atmosphere, when I think of the little bit of kinship in the past, if you say that everyone is not afraid, it is a lie. Under this high pressure, no matter what the person who holds thoughts now is cautious, and afraid that he will be involved in it by accident. What's even more terrifying is that this involves not only old friends...

What involves fighting for the throne is a major case of family search and extermination!

Now that I have completely broken my face, there is no possibility of warmth at all. In the imperial prison, I don’t know how many people died tragically. If they die, they will be clean, but they are not allowed to live, but they cannot die. Even if there are too many dissatisfied in the Shilin, why isn’t everyone in danger there?

You know, Yang Yiqing specially brought boxes of "public opinion" to demand that the prince abdicate and let the rebel Zhu Houcon ascend the throne.

Ye Chunqiu looked at the timid officials, with no expression on his face, walked into the hall, saluted and said, "My minister Ye Chunqiu, I have seen Your Majesty."

Zhu Zaiyao looked so energetic that he stood up from the imperial chair, and said with his hands behind his back: "Come on, give him a seat to Yafu."

The eunuch who was waiting next to him quickly brought the seat. Ye Chunqiu was not polite and sat down loudly.

At this time, Zhu Zaiyao raised his voice and said, "This time I summoned you all to discuss one thing. I have already explained this matter. I have said that the court has rewarded merits and punished me. This time, Yafu has made great contributions to the court and me. If it weren't for Yafu, I would have died at the hands of the thief. How could I have today? I have now succeeded the throne and am grateful to the heart of gratitude and order the cabinet to draw up a charter for rewards. But I have looked at this charter, it's not good!"

He shook his head, frowned, and then said, "I will give you any reward if you make any contribution. This is a rule. You should not give it or reward because of the supreme minister. I am very dissatisfied with it. So I still think that it is better to invite everyone and discuss it with you."

When Zhu Zaiyao spoke, he really had the momentum of a person who was at a high position, but...

Ye Chunqiu, the attendant, finally understood why Zhu Zaiyao wanted to let him enter the court. It turned out that it was for the purpose of rewarding merits.

Zhu Zaiyao did mention the reward on that day, but Ye Chunqiu didn't care too much, so he had long forgotten about it. However, the cabinet drafted a charter and reported it to the palace. However, Zhu Zaiyao was not concerned about this matter, and after reading it, he was really dissatisfied with it.

This is actually understandable. Wang Hua, the chief minister of the cabinet, is Ye Chunqiu's Taishan, but he decided on this matter. He had to avoid suspicion. He could not give too many rewards and attract people to talk.

Zhu Zaiyao glanced at everyone and then said, "Okay, I'll discuss this today. Master, what do you think? Master Wang, you can talk about it first."

Wang Hua couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed when he was on duty. I am Ye Chunqiu's father-in-law and a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. What can I say?

He pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty is not satisfied with the cabinet's constitution. This is the old minister's mistake. However, the old minister thinks that His Highness, King Lu, is deeply grateful to the emperor, and it is a matter of duty to serve the king. Now he is a prince, so it is really not appropriate to reward him."

Zhu Zaiyao pursed his lips and didn't say anything for a long time, but looked elsewhere. After a moment, he said, "Do you guys think so?"

But all the officials were silent.

In fact, in recent court discussions, all officials dare not speak out. There is probably only one reason, that is, they are afraid of shooting the first bird.

Zhu Zaiyao was very satisfied with everyone's quietness, so he smiled and said, "Hey, what Master Wang said is not wrong, but... this sentence is not worthy of being a prince, so I still don't agree with it. Ya's father is my adopted father. If he does not make merit, I will give him a reward. Why is it that now that he has made merit, everyone is taboo!"
