Rebirth of the Ming Dynasty: Sixth Generation of Glory, I don't want it

Zhu Di did not give the people below a chance to speak.

He went through all the memorials one by one.

When he turned to the last line of the last book, Zhu Di burst into laughter.

"I hope Your Majesty will reflect on himself, blame himself, show mercy, improve the administration of officials, kill corrupt officials, stay away from villains, and help the poor people in the world."

"These days, there are really all kinds of people. You said that, just like my dad!"

"Fuck, I gave you face!"

"Draft an edict!!!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Patent reader Li Shimian, lecturer Luo Rujing, censors Zheng Weihuan, He Zhong, Luo Tong, Xu Rong, imperial secretaries Ke Xian and Xiao Yi, drag them out of the Meridian Gate and execute them immediately!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, you must not do this!"

Zhu Gaochi had been almost drowsy from listening, but when he heard that his father was serious, he quickly stepped forward.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, calm down. Killing the censor is unlucky!"

Yang Shiqi also hurriedly stepped forward to give advice.

Zhu Di was so furious that he naturally refused to listen.

The Fengtian Hall suddenly became as lively as a group of ants on a hot pot.

When the eunuch finished writing and presented it to Zhu Di, the atmosphere suddenly froze before he took the imperial seal to seal it.

Xia Yuanji, who originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, watched for a long time, and finally sighed and left:

"Your Majesty, please punish me for my dereliction of duty."

"Humph, what crime have you committed?"

No matter how angry Zhu Di was, he still gave Xia Yuanji face and put the jade seal aside.

He wanted to hear how Xia Yuanji would fool him.

"Your Majesty, the matter of moving the capital was not originally decided by your Majesty alone. It was ten years ago that your Majesty and the ministers discussed it for a long time and finally decided it. If moving the capital is a crime, it is not your Majesty's fault, but our ministers. The censors responded to the imperial edict and spoke frankly. It is their duty to speak out what they hear. If they are convicted for criticizing current politics, it is also not their fault, but our regent ministers."

"I ask Your Majesty to severely punish the ministers who discussed this matter in the first place, so as to comfort Your Majesty and relieve the worries of all officials."

Xia Yuanji knelt on the ground without raising his head.

Yang Shiqi and Yang Rong, who were quick to see the opportunity, immediately knelt down and approached Xia Yuanji and said:

"Your Majesty, please punish me and other close ministers!"

Several people from the cabinet followed suit and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, I am also guilty!"

Zhu Gaochi pursed his lips, looked at his father's expression, knelt down at the front where no one could see his face, and winked at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di glared at Zhu Gaochi.

He snatched the pen from the eunuch, scribbled on the written imperial edict at an extremely fast speed, stamped it with the seal, and threw it directly at Zhu Gaochi's feet before leaving.

Following the eunuch beside him:

"The Emperor has retired from court—"

Everyone in the Fengtian Hall breathed a sigh of relief, changed from kneeling to sitting, and then fell to the ground.

Zhu Gaochi stepped forward, picked up the imperial edict, took a look at it, and breathed a sigh of relief.

[Li Shimian, the tutor, and Luo Rujing, the lecturer, were arrested and imprisoned. The censors Zheng Weihuan, He Zhong, Luo Tong, and Xu Rong, and the secretary Ke Xian were demoted to Jiaozhi. Xiao Yi was beheaded immediately! ]

Zhu Di is gone.

Even though Yang Shiqi and his gang really wanted to have another talk with Zhu Di, they knew that Zhu Di would not give them this opportunity.

He could only use Zhu Gaochi to hint at it indirectly.

Zhu Gaochi was also very single.

Give directly.

"Don't you know what kind of person my father is? I just asked you to do something, but you dare to use chicken feathers as a token of authority and accuse my father of his crimes? None of these were done by my father, but you are blaming him? Apart from other things, my father originally planned to stay in the study room of Jinshen Palace that night, but he was very lucky and left before being struck by lightning. This is not the wrath of heaven or the resentment of man! This is a blessing from heaven and a good fate, with the blessing of our ancestors and God! You can take care of yourself!"

After Zhu Gaochi finished speaking, he patted his butt and left.

Zhu Gaochi was satisfied with the results of today's court meeting.

At least he took this opportunity to remove a group of incompetent censors.

Moreover, judging from the behavior of the officials in the Fengtian Hall, there are still few who really have ulterior motives.

However, Zhu Gaochi was a little disappointed with the few people in the cabinet.

Too stable.

Not witty enough.

In this respect, Xia Yuanji was far above the average level of court officials.

Those few words were a great form of flattery.

But, there is something inconsistent.

Xia Yuanji is not a flatterer.

"Tell me, did Dad greet Xia Yuanji in advance?"

When Zhu Gaochi returned to the villa, he told Zhang Xin about the excitement in the court, and finally asked Zhang Xin about the questions in his mind.

"Probably not, Master Xia, no need."

Zhang Xin was being helped by Zhu Gaochi to familiarize herself with the furnishings in the house, mainly because she didn't want to be supported by others all the time.

"So confident?"

Zhu Gaochi patted Zhang Xin's hand to indicate that there was a table.

"Master Xia always tells the truth. Just as he said, when Dad wanted to move the capital, they didn't object. They just said it was not good for the people. What if someone died on the spot? Now they are talking after the fact. Humph, these spineless people always think they are strong. What a lie!"

Zhang Xin doesn't like people who are good at talking.

"That's true."

Zhu Gaochi nodded.

"I think it's too early to stop them. We should kill a few more before stopping them. Lord Xia is still too kind."

Zhang Xin added.

These court officials who needed to attend court were of high rank. Zhu Gaochi ensured their living needs and allowed them to live a relatively wealthy life. Almost everyone lived a good life.

But there is a prerequisite for the good days, that is, they can and must use them.

It is impossible for the royal family to manage every detail of the world.

The imperial court paid them salaries and invited them to help manage the people below. Each level managed the next level, and each level had its own benefits, all the way down to the ordinary people at the bottom.

Nowadays, the people at the bottom of society are having a hard time living. Whose fault is it?

Is it the emperor who makes decisions, or the grassroots officials?

Everyone seems to be very aggrieved.

You curse the emperor and your colleagues, but why don’t you think about whether you have done what you should do?

She was a woman in seclusion, but she persisted for six dynasties.

Whether she did it right or wrong, she did it seriously.

A group of men just keep complaining all day long and do nothing.

"Oh, right. Uncle Five is here today."

Zhang Xin suddenly remembered something.

"Fifth Uncle is here to see our father? Didn't he come over a few days ago?"

Zhu Gaochi did not meet him.

"No, my fifth uncle brought a Taoist priest to tell my mother that the Forbidden City is not safe."

Zhang Xin replied.

According to the alchemists on my fifth uncle's side, there will be a lot of lightning strikes in the future.

The weather in the capital is dry, and the foundation of the Forbidden City is higher than other places in the city.

This thunder likes to strike high places.

Unless we can find a way to divert the mine underground.

"Otherwise, let's build the summer resort bigger."

Zhu Gaochi was discouraged.

[Small science: According to the "Book of Han", the Weiyang Palace and the Bailiang Terrace caught fire due to lightning strikes. Later, a Taoist priest suggested to Emperor Wu of Han that "chiyu" be installed on the roof of the palace to prevent disasters. In the Song Dynasty, there was also a lightning protection method of placing Leigongzhu in the house.]
