Domineering Daming

Zhou Yingqiu walked in unhurriedly, and immediately saw Chen Xinjia, Zhou Daodeng, and Liu Hongxun.

He knew that Chen Xinjia was a special person. He had made many achievements in entering the court as a man, and Jingyang Palace praised him quite a lot.

Zhou Daodeng was the servant of the Ministry of Rites in the first year of Tianqi, but he was impeached and resigned to return to his hometown. Now he has no official or job.This person has a characteristic, that is, the dough, anyone can knead it twice, but he doesn't react at all.

There is nothing special about Liu Hongxun. He was born in Hanlin and has always worked in the East Palace. He was demoted because he disobeyed Wei Zhongxian.

As if Zhou Yingqiu hadn't seen him, he raised his hand to Zhu Youjian and said, "Your Majesty has seen the prince."

Zhu Youjian expressionless, said: "It's so late, what's the matter?"

Zhou Yingqiu took out a memorial book from his bosom, and said: "My lord, this is a memorial book jointly signed by the lower officials and six ministers, please have a look."

Zhu Youjian frowned, he didn't like Zhou Yingqiu, so he had to deal with it, reached out to take it over, and his expression changed slightly.

A few sentences in the memorial book are very eye-catching: "In ancient times, gentlemen were friends but not party members, and now the party is not friends. They are officials for fame and gain, and they flock to them. Discussions by ministers and others, in order to ban party disasters, thoroughly investigate cronies, and clean up the officialdom. ..."

Zhu Youjian's eyes changed again and again. The so-called "nine rules" before were just regulations, but Zhou Yingqiu was talking about "thorough investigation"!

If this is investigated, all officials in the world will tremble!

Things are not settled yet, but Zhou Yingqiu has another one!

With a sullen face, Zhu Youjian looked up at Zhou Yingqiu and said, "My lord Zhou, no matter what, the power granted by the imperial court is not something you can use to take revenge and vent your personal anger! This memorial is not allowed by the King!"

Zhou Yingqiu was not surprised, and did not hesitate to trust the king at all, and continued to raise his hand and said: "My lord, I have no intention of venting my personal anger. This is a memorial jointly signed by six ministers. Your lord should know what it means. If the cabinet does not accept it, The next official will be sent directly to the Supervisor of Rituals, and other matters will be listed in the same way in the future, and the cabinet will not be consulted again."

Zhu Youjian's face changed suddenly, his eyes glistened with blood, and he stared fiercely at Zhou Yingqiu!

Chapter 514 Zhu Youjian cut down the East Factory

Zhou Yingqiu's words are very simple. If Zhu Youjian doesn't follow what he said, the official department will bypass the cabinet to act in the future, and the cabinet will not be able to command the official department!

This is a blatant threat!

Zhu Youjian's eyes were ferocious, and his face showed murderous intent!

This is the first time he has such a strong killing intent towards a person!

He is the prince of the dynasty, the elder brother of the emperor, and concurrently the chief assistant of the cabinet, a minister who is a subordinate, why is he so disrespectful to him!

Chen Xinjia, Zhou Daodeng, and Liu Hongxun's expressions all changed slightly. Zhou Yingqiu's words were very powerful. It wasn't that he couldn't do it, nor that he didn't dare to do it.In the past, the Ming emperor needed the cabinet to control the six ministries and nine ministers, so as to control the world.

But today's emperor doesn't need it, he has always strictly controlled the six ministries, whether it is the cabinet, Wen Zhao Pavilion or the supervisor of ceremonies, they have all become decorations.

Zhou Yingqiu, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is the emperor's confidant, and the emperor does not allow King Xin to interfere in the Ministry of Officials. Therefore, Zhou Yingqiu's confrontation with King Xin should be what the Emperor wants to see, right?

They can imagine that Zhu Youjian never imagined that he needs the Ministry of Officials, needs the Ministry of Officials to appease the terrified officials of the world, and carry out his government affairs.

Zhu Youjian looked at Zhou Yingqiu with a gloomy face and said in a cold voice: "If you bypass the cabinet, this king is up to you. From now on, I don't care about your official affairs. This king can play the emperor for you. The cabinet does not govern the official department." !"

Zhou Yingqiu remained expressionless, quite surprised in his heart, he didn't expect this useless prince to turn him back, paused for a while, raised his hand and said: "Then I thank you, I will send this memorandum to the Supervisor of Rituals Seal it, and then promulgate it to the world. Although Dongchang is assigned to Wenzhao Pavilion, the imperial decree must be followed. If the prince has other inconveniences in the future, the six ministries will continue to issue the edict in the form of a joint document."

The corners of Zhu Youjian's face twitched fiercely, and his teeth gritted. This is Zhou Yingqiu's further threat. He wants to unite the six ministries and completely empty the cabinet!

Isn't this impossible? Wasn't Wenzhao Pavilion kept empty before?

Zhu Youjian's face was full of murderous intent. If he had a knife by his side, he would wish to hack Zhou Yingqiu to death with one blow!

Looking at Zhu Youjian's reaction, Zhou Yingqiu shook his head secretly. In terms of calmness alone, this trustworthy king is far worse than the emperor. Maybe he didn't give enough advice, so he said in a deep voice: "My lord, there are some things that I can't say It's very appropriate, but the prince must listen to it."

Zhu Youjian's face was gloomy, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Zhou Yingqiu coldly.

Zhou Yingqiu raised his hands, his expression didn't change much, and he said bluntly: "My lord, although today's sage is not as talented as Taizu Taizong, he has also made achievements in martial arts and martial arts. You have thoughts about government affairs and the court. The emperor can tolerate it, but you If it continues to conflict with the emperor's state affairs, even if the emperor's chest is as wide as the sea and continues to tolerate it, the officials and others... will not tolerate it!"

Zhu Youjian tightly grasped the tablecloth with his right hand, his eyes were tearing apart, and he stared fiercely at Zhou Yingqiu, he really wanted to kill someone!

That's where Zhou Yingqiu's words came to an end, he put the playbook on the table, and said: "Your Majesty, honest words are hard to hear, I hope you will take care of yourself."

After speaking, Zhou Yingqiu turned around and left.

Chen Xinjia and the others were frightened all the time, their bodies were cold, and their expressions changed several times.

Zhou Yingqiu is the emperor's confidant, did he say what he said, or was it the emperor's report?Or, the emperor occasionally mentioned his dissatisfaction with King Xin?

The three of them couldn't help but look at each other, feeling a chill in their hearts.

Wang Chengen was listening, his expression silent.In his opinion, this is a warning from Jingyang Palace, warning King Xin not to keep getting closer to Donglin, and to draw a clear line with his "clique".

He was worried from the bottom of his heart, wondering if Zhu Youjian, who was under anger, could understand the kindness in Zhou Yingqiu's words.

Zhu Youjian really didn't hear it, but his usual self-cultivation still made him restrain his anger, looked at Chen Xinjia and the other three expressionlessly, and said, "Go, I will look for you tomorrow."

Chen Xinjia, Zhou Daodeng, and Liu Hongxun hurriedly stood up, raised their hands and said, "I will take my leave."

In the lobby, only Zhu Youjian and the shadowy Wang Chengen remained.

Zhu Youjian stared at the playbook on the table with disgust, and forced himself to calm down.

Every word of Zhou Yingqiu's words hit his heart, and when he thought about it, his heart became cold.

He knew very well in his heart that no matter whether it was the emperor in Jingyang Palace or him, they were all tolerant to each other. He had no choice but to do that. The one above was the emperor, but why did the emperor keep tolerating him?

He has been thinking about this question, but he can't figure it out.

If it is said that it was the last emperor's will, it is too reluctant, if it is said that they are brothers, they are not close at all, except for the Queen Mother Zhang who is also a sister-in-law and mother in Jingyang Palace, no one else moves around very much.

"Why?" Zhu Youjian muttered to himself, turning his head to Wang Chengen habitually.

Wang Chengen didn't know what Zhu Youjian was thinking, bowed and said, "My lord, although Zhou Shangshu is reckless, there is still some truth in what he said. This memorial...wasn't made in a hurry."

Zhu Youjian's expression changed, and he nodded as if realizing something.In such a short period of time, there were six joint titles of ministers, which were obviously inspired by Jingyang Palace, and were even prepared in Liaodong.

He looked at the memorandum, frowned, and said: "The Ministry of Officials can't be controlled by Zhou Yingqiu, what do you think can be done?"

Wang Chengen frowned slightly. The official said it belonged to Zhou Yingqiu, rather it belonged to the emperor. Anyone who interfered would be interrupted.Knowing that he could not contradict King Xin at this time, he said silently: "The appointment of Chen Xinjia and the other three will not be stopped by Zhou Shangshu."

This is obviously not what Zhu Youjian wanted. He looked at the memorial and said to himself: "You said, as the Minister of Rites, it is feasible to be named Dongge University Bachelor?"

Wang Chengen's heart skipped a beat, and he said solemnly: "My lord, Jingyang Palace will be in charge next year. At this time, you have to be cautious..."

Zhu Youjian's expression was quite unwilling, and he was tied up in everything. Since the new dynasty, he has not accomplished any major things except for some trivial things!

He had to listen to Wang Chengen's words, and there was only such a trustworthy person around him. He stared at the memorial for a long time before saying: "Tomorrow, I will send this memorial to Lai Zongdao."

Seeing that Zhu Youjian finally agreed, Wang Chengen felt a little relieved. Just as he was about to respond, Zhu Youjian suddenly looked at him again and said, "This king asked you to control Dongchang, how are you doing with the reduction?"

This was something that Zhu Youjian arranged for Zhu Youjian not long after Dongchang moved under Wenzhao Pavilion. Wang Chengen stepped forward and thoughtfully replied: "Go back to the lord, there are more cuts in the capital, and there are no reports for other places."
