Regarding everything in the palace, Li Chunan taught Ergou carefully and responded to everything.

As long as Ergou was confused, Li Chunan devoted all his efforts to teach him.

In just a few days, Ergou has gained a good understanding of how the palace operates and is managed. Now he looks like a great eunuch in the inner court.

Ning Fan also calmed down at this time and waved his hand slightly, signaling the eunuchs to clean up the broken cups on the ground.

In fact, sometimes Ning Fan's anger is just a way to vent his emotions. It's not that he can't figure out the problem. In fact, Ning Fan has a better grasp of the hearts of civil and military officials than anyone else.

He knew deeply what these people were thinking. They just wanted to be passed down for generations, to be officials from generation to generation, to control interests and enjoy privileges from generation to generation.

"In the future, neither civil or military officials nor I will enjoy privileges. History is moving forward. Official positions are not a sacred thing. They just represent a job. They are no different from those who farm the land or sell wonton noodles on the streets. The difference is, everyone is just doing their own thing."

Ning Fan sat on the chair and said lazily.

Unfortunately, the only people who could hear Ning Fan's earth-shattering words were Ergou and a few eunuchs and maids. The eunuchs and maids were absent-minded and did not dare to listen to what Ning Fan was saying. Only Ergou could understand and could Realize Ning Fan's true inner thoughts.

"Your Majesty, your thinking is too advanced. It is undeniable that you are right, but you must not be anxious in the process of realizing this path."

Ergou bent down and said in a low voice.

At this moment, Luo Yong hurriedly walked in from outside, knelt on the ground, and said loudly to Ning Fan: "Your Majesty, something serious has happened."

Luo Yong has always been calm, and he has never looked so panicked. Seeing Luo Yong so panicked, Ning Fan stood up with a cry, but still maintained his royal dignity: "What happened? Did the sky fall?"

When Ning Fan asked this question, he already meant to blame him, and Luo Yong immediately realized that Ning Fan was a little dissatisfied with his flustered look just now. He quickly looked down and said in a low voice Ning Fan : "Your Majesty, led by Chen Guozhan, the Minister of Rites, and all the officials went to the Ancestral Temple in great force, where they were crying."

Ning Fan understood clearly that the one who acted evilly this time was not the Minister of Rites, but a small Minister of Rites.

The Minister of Rites was a second-rank official and could be considered a high-ranking member of the imperial court. Ning Fan also had some impressions of Chen Guozhan. In his impression, Chen Guozhan had a gray beard and was over eighty years old. He was a veritable veteran minister.

Such a person takes the lead to cry at the temple, and his heart is to be punished.

Since ancient times, if the country is not in danger, no ministers would dare to go to the crying temple, and crying in the temple represents dissatisfaction with the king. It is even possible that the ministers will unite and replace the king.

This has already made it clear that the carriage and horse are going to make trouble with Ning Fan, and the trouble must be earth-shaking, causing everyone to be wiped out, and even making the trouble infamous.

When Ning Fan realized the seriousness of the problem, his face instantly turned livid, and he thought of countless solutions in his mind.

But there is no optimal solution among all these solutions. It is indeed very difficult and extremely tricky for Ning Fan to solve this matter.

"Call me the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Fang Zhengming, and immediately seal the gate of Kyoto, making it impossible to get in or out."

Ning Fan ran through countless thoughts in his mind, and finally his eyes revealed a murderous light.

Ergou and Luo Yong were both people who followed Ning Fan, so they were naturally very familiar with Ning Fan's demeanor. Ning Fan often made up his mind when he showed this look.

"Your Majesty, do you want to ask Mr. Cheng Ge about this matter? After all, he is the chief minister of the cabinet and has experienced too many things. Maybe he has a better solution to this matter."

Eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics. Logically speaking, Ergou is not qualified to speak on such a big issue. However, as a close person and person around Ning Fan, Ergou cannot bear the thought of Ning Fan making such a major decision.

Mobilizing the Jin Yiwei to block the gate of Kyoto means that Ning Fan has made up his mind to kill as a warning to others. If the butcher's knife is raised against all civil and military officials, what will the people of the world think of it, and what will the scholars think of it?

So Ergou had to say that he was really doing it for Ning Fan's good.

"There is nothing to hesitate. If these dogs want to fight against me, then let them go to the underworld to fight against me."

Ning Fan was obviously fed up. He had to face these shady people every day. He had already regarded these people as enemies.

Ning Fan was in a bad mood at this time, and coupled with the civil and military officials' promulgation of his new policy, Ning Fan's evil spirit had nowhere to go.

Not long after, Fang Zhengming knelt in front of Ning Fan. Seeing the murderous look in Ning Fan's eyes, Fang Zhengming couldn't help but feel excited.

"Your Majesty, tell me what to do. I will do what you say. These people will do what you say. If they are enemies of Your Majesty, then they are ours. The enemies they prove are also the enemies of all the Jinyi Guards."

Fang Zhengming said decisively.

"Catch them! Catch them all and throw them into the sky prison. Anyone who resists will be killed by me on the spot."

Ning Fan's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

He had reason to believe that each of these officials who rushed to the Ancestral Temple and the Kumiao Temple had malicious intentions. If these people were allowed to continue to mix in the ranks of officials, they would inevitably oppose Ning Fan everywhere in the future.

Instead of eliminating the influence of these people bit by bit, it would be better to catch them all in one go.

Politics is never a place for reason, politics is cruel. As an emperor, Ning Fan must use some cruel methods to scare everyone at this time.

Ning Fan gave the order and rushed to the Imperial Ancestral Temple in an aggressive manner, surrounding the entire Imperial Ancestral Temple. Dozens of officials were crying vigorously and passionately. When they saw the menacing Jin Yiwei, they were dumbfounded. .

"You bunch of court eagle dogs, you are the dogs raised by the emperor. Let me see who of you dares to do something today."

Chen Guozhan was the first to stand up, pointing at Jin Yiwei and roaring loudly.

The other officials were a little timid at first, but when they saw Chen Guozhan acting like this, they suddenly became fierce and emboldened to criticize him one by one, scolding the Jin Yiwei until they were bloody.

Fang Zhengming was not in a hurry. He had a chair brought up and sat there, listening with a half-smile and drinking tea.

"Remember all the people who slandered the king just now. I will arrest anyone who said anything."

After Chen Guozhan and others scolded each other, Fang Zhengming's face turned gloomy.
