Chapter 136 Kneeling and Crying
"Since Yang Tinghe is so powerful, why did he resign? Of course he doesn't really want to leave, he can't bear it."

"The reason is to deal with Zhu Houcong. This trick is called retreating! How should I put it? According to Yang Tinghe, most of the court is my people!"

"Hey, as long as I leave, I'd like to see if the imperial court can still operate normally! This trick is so high that even Zhu Houcong would never have thought of it."

"Later, Yang Tinghe went to Zhu Houcong's place, saying that if you still insist on making Xingxian King Zhu Youzhu the Xingxian Emperor, I will resign!"

"Hey, Yang Tinghe was the chief assistant of the cabinet at that time, and there were indeed a large group of people in the court who belonged to him. If he left, many people probably wouldn't want to do it either!"

"Furthermore, Yang Tinghe's ability is indeed very strong. How strong is it? So strong that during Zhu Houzhao's reign, the emperor hardly had anything to do with him."

"So when Zhu Houcong heard that Yang Tinghe was going to resign, he was very panicked. Then he swiped a pen and said yes, since you resigned, let's go!"

"No one would have imagined that not only was Zhu Houcong not afraid of Yang Tinghe's threat, but he even agreed to Yang Tinghe's resignation request."

"Originally Yang Tinghe wanted to frighten Zhu Houcong, and forced him to submit by resigning. Who knew that Zhu Houcong did not follow the routine at all, and even approved his resignation application."

"At that time, Yang Tinghe was in a daze, thinking that I just left like this? I can't believe it at all!"

"But that's what Zhu Houcong meant. He approved Yang Tinghe's resignation request. Now that things got serious, Yang Tinghe lost his position directly."

"How should I put it? After all, Yang Tinghe has a certain degree of influence in the court. Do you think that after Yang Tinghe lost his official position, it ended like this?"

"No! After all, he is an old fox, how can he give in so easily?"

"It was said that on the day Yang Tinghe left office, he called all the ministers who were close to him and said, although I have to leave, don't be afraid, everyone! Continue to work with him!"

"Don't tell me, Yang Tinghe raised his arms like this, and those ministers who have a little relationship with him really responded all the time, and got angry with Zhu Houcong."

"It is said that it was the fourteenth day of July in the third year of Jiajing, and the ministers had just finished the morning court, and Zhu Houcong had already gone back to fast."

"And what about the ministers? They gathered in front of the Qianqing Palace and started discussing again. What are they discussing? Of course it's a grand meeting, and it's not over yet."

"The ministers are all civil servants, and they all get more and more excited when they talk about it!"

"Hey, at this moment, a civil servant stood up, and he said, if we go to Zuoshunmen and kneel and cry, if the emperor doesn't change his mind, we won't get up!"

"When the civil official said this, the ministers immediately quieted down and stopped discussing. What's the matter? Hesitated."

"However, when the big guys were hesitating, Yang Tinghe's son, Yang Shen, stood up and said, 'The country has been supporting scholars for 50 and [-] years, and it is today'."

"This sentence is recorded in "Ming Shizong Shilu", which means that the state has supported us scholars for more than 150 years. For our integrity, for the righteousness of the country, and for justice, we must die today!"

"This Yang Shen, you may not feel it just by the name, but he has written a piece of works that are familiar to everyone! You must have heard of it!"

"What? The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, the waves wipe out the heroes, success or failure is turned around, the green hills are still there, and the sunset is red for a few times."

"This is written by him. Even if you don't know that this work was written by him, then you should have heard this work."

Seeing what Teacher Miao said so confidently, can Jiang Xiaoli shake his head and say that he has never heard of it?
Okay, let’s continue to listen to Teacher Miao’s words: “Yang Shen, who wrote this work, is that talented, isn’t he? Not only is he a talented person, but so is his father, Yang Tinghe, who has two generations of talented people in his family. Are you serious?”

"Okay, it's Yang Shen's words of encouragement that make everyone stop hesitating! Everyone's blood is boiling!"

"However, this process directly led to a total of 220 nine officials at all levels, including the six cabinet ministers and associate cabinet members. What are they doing?"

"Under the leadership of Yang Shen, this group of ministers came directly to Zuoshun Gate, fell to their knees with a thud, cried and shouted, those who didn't know thought the emperor had died again."

"The perseverance of these old guys is really strong enough. From seven o'clock in the morning to one o'clock in the afternoon, they just knelt like this without eating or drinking."

"Hey, at this moment, someone couldn't stand it anymore and said, we have knelt for so long, but we haven't seen any movement from the emperor, why don't we go home first and kneel again tomorrow."

"It's obvious that I'm hungry and want to go home for dinner, but Yang Shen and other ministers refused to agree, saying that it was agreed just now, and if the emperor doesn't change his mind, we won't get up!"

"There is no way, the big guy has to continue to kneel, and he will stop crying at this time, because he has cried for too long and has no tears."

"So where is Zhu Houcong at this time? He was fasting in the Qianqing Palace, because of the great ceremony, so he went to fast if he had nothing to do."

"When he heard that more than 200 ministers gathered at Zuoshunmen to cause trouble, his brows suddenly wrinkled and he thought to himself: Why are these old guys so troublesome?"

"But he didn't take it too seriously. It's a bitter plan. Zhu Houcong has been in BJ these years, and he has already become accustomed to it."

"Then he called a few eunuchs and said, go to Zuoshunmen to persuade them, and tell them that we can talk about it tomorrow. I have to fast and I don't have time to see them."

"Okay, then a few eunuchs went to Zuoshunmen to deliver Zhu Houcong's allegory order, saying that the emperor is fasting, so don't be idle, everyone, let's all go home and eat!"

"That's what I said, but no one believed it. Some ministers even stood up and said, what you said is groundless. We don't believe you. We want to see the emperor, and then wept again."

"The ministers refused to leave, and the eunuch had no choice but to go back and tell Zhu Houcong about the situation."

"After Zhu Houcong heard it, he was also very speechless, but he immediately ordered and drafted an edict, and asked the eunuch to take it over and read it on the spot."

"It stands to reason that with the edict this time, the ministers should be dispersed? Tell you, no! What's the matter?"

"I don't know if those people are too involved in the drama and their emotions are too deep to come out. They even pointed fingers at the imperial decree and ignored the imperial decree. Two words, resist the decree!"
