Chapter 118 Retaliation

The court has been very lucky recently and has received the Jianzhou Jurchen Tonggong tribute.

Emperor Hongzhi felt that his achievements were remarkable, so he sent his orders to hold a ceremony in Guanglu Temple to comfort the world.

The scale of this ritual was too large, and the Ministry of Rites also participated in it.

The next morning, it was gray and dawn. In front of the broad courtyard of Fengtian Hall, officials from the Ministry of Personnel and officials from the other six ministries were kneeling.

The officials all raised their heads, their necks were thick and red, and shouted in unison:

"The utensils used for the rituals are all taken from the people's wealth and ointment! Your Majesty made the major plans during the years to save money, but he also spent extravagance on the rituals. Please think twice!"

"Your Majesty think twice!"

"Your Majesty think twice!"

Early in the morning, the palace was cold and the sound spread throughout the harem.

In Kunning Palace, Emperor Hongzhi was still asleep. He was awakened by this loud shout. He opened his eyes in a daze, and another sound of "Your Majesty, think twice" came.

He lifted the curtain and was displeased: "What's the noise outside?"

Xiao Jing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the officials of the Ministry of Personnel and the other six ministries knelt in front of Fengtian Hall as soon as the Yin hour was Yin, saying that they would save money and ask you to ban the rituals."

"Your Majesty, is this?" Queen Zhang was a little worried.

Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly: "They clearly changed the evaluation results of the major plans for me, but they turned against them under the guise of considering the country and the country!"

Emperor Hongzhi got up and put on his clothes and strode towards Fengtian Hall.

Xiao Jing said: "Your Majesty, there are as many as fifty-seven officials who have invited to stop the ceremony this time. They said that if Your Majesty does not take back the sacred order, they will not get up."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "If you don't get up, you won't get up. I am the emperor. The ritual is to comfort the heavens. What's wrong with it?"

Xiao Jing had never seen His Majesty so irritable. It seemed that he was really angry this time.

When Yan Chengjin went to Hanyuan, he always felt that something was missing. After a closer look, he found that the three remarks of Hanyuan, who had always been diligent, did not come.

Where did you go to collect evidence of guilt?

It was not until noon that officials of the Ministry of Personnel took the lead in opposing Emperor Hongzhi's large-scale rituals, knelt in front of Fengtian Hall without eating or sleeping, and Hanyuan's three revelations also joined the battle.

It is not difficult to see that during the plan during the years, Emperor Hongzhi committed the interests of many officials, who used the name of asking for an order to counter Emperor Hongzhi.

Obviously, it is organized and purposeful.

I have to say...

This scholar is just good at playing.

If you don’t give me a five-star praise, I won’t let you hold a ceremony, you can do it yourself.

This is accurate to make Your Majesty a good person.

If it were Emperor Gao, he would have been so arrogant.

Fengtian Palace,

After Emperor Hongzhi arrived, the officials shouted louder, but Emperor Hongzhi ignored them and time passed quietly.

Zhu Houzhao came to Fengtian Palace to pay tribute, and was stunned. When she saw so many officials kneeling in front of the hall, she was immediately happy.

Today, my father must have no time to care about him and can have fun again.

Liu Jian was worried: "There are too many officials who have been dismissed this time, and even Tu Fei has retired. I am afraid he will not give up."

"No need to pay attention." Emperor Hongzhi said lightly.

A few hours passed,

The weather was a little hot. The officials in front of Fengtian Palace knelt from Yin to late. They were wearing thick regular clothes and suddenly became dazed and fainted several times.

"No... don't help me. I must kneel down and let Your Majesty see it. My loyalty!" A civil servant who was about to fall was quite heroic.

At this moment, Xie Qian walked out of Fengtian Hall.

"You are so bored when you kneel down. Why don't you tell me a story to help you get rid of boredom?"

I believe you!

The civil servants knew that everyone was not Xie Qian's opponent, so they said, "If we don't listen to the story, we will ask for a ritual to stop the ceremony."

Xie Qian thought about it and said, "That official tells you good news. Your Majesty has made concessions and cut the cost of the ritual. Please go back, otherwise Your Majesty will be angry."

"It will be a loss of money for the people. I beg your Majesty to ban the rituals. If you can ask for the people, what if you behead your head!"

"Yes, behead!"

"Behead!"

If Yan Chengjin was here, he would definitely be shocked by Da Baojian's acting skills. At this time, the person who shouted to plead for the people was Da Baojian.

During the years, I only got a medium plan, which is simply a stain on official career!

If this stain is not removed, it will be a weakness in the future. How can you be embarrassed to impeach others?

Dabao's admonishment was a famous admonishment minister. As soon as he shouted, other officials also shouted.

I know that this is asking for the people and taking up justice. If Your Majesty drags all 57 officials out and cuts them, he will definitely be called a tyrant, loses the hearts of the people, and destroys his image.

I was sure that Your Majesty would not do this, so I was confident!

More than fifty people cried loudly, and the whole palace was filled with howling.

Xie Qian shook his head. He knew very well that this was not a matter of rituals at all. Didn’t there be rituals before? It was clearly for the sake of the major plans of the year.

"Master Tu requested to retire because of his old age, why do you guys do this?" Li Dongyang said.

"What is Lord Li talking about? We are asking for the people for the sake of the rituals. What is Lord Li saying to retire?" The officials bite to death, saying that they were asking for the people for the sake of the people.

Li Dongyang sighed, and returned to Fengtian Hall with Xie Qian, bowed to Emperor Hongzhi and said, "Your Majesty, they refuse."

"Hmph, they are threatening me! The ritual is the ancestral system, how can it be banned? I actually want to bind me in the name of a wise king. I really think that I am like the previous emperor and will not be weak!" Emperor Hongzhi tightened his fist and hit the imperial case.

In the previous dynasty, ministers knelt in front of Wenhua Hall and cried and advised each other. For the sake of Queen Mother Qian’s tomb, the late emperor had to follow.

The same scene is now happening.

Censors are usually well versed in impeachment, and they are more shameless than anything else, so they will not obey.

The next morning, Yan Chengjin arrived at Hanyuan and saw that Hanlin's three revelations did not come again. He heard that the officials of the Ministry of Personnel and the three revelations of Hanlin were kneeling outside Fengtian Hall for a day and a night.

This is a revengeful plea!

Dirty, scheming are dirty.

Although affected by Tu Fei's retirement, it was mainly a major plan during the years.

The cabinet and the Censorate reassessment made the formerly high-ranking official unbalanced.

The three remarks of Hanyuan are three of them.

Kunning Palace,

Zhu Houzhao came to pay tribute to Queen Zhang. Queen Zhang asked someone to take out the best pastry in Kunning Palace. Zhu Houzhao ate two happily. Seeing her haggard face, she asked, "My mother, what's wrong with you?"

Queen Zhang sighed softly: "Last night, your father was in Fengtian Hall all night, and the ministers knelt in front of Fengtian Hall, and your father was definitely uneasy."

Zhu Houzhao put down the pastry as if nothing had happened: "Originally, my son was still happy, but my father finally had no time to control me, but when I saw my mother was sad, my son thought of a way to help my father once."

Queen Zhang frowned slightly: "You are not allowed to say this in Kunning Palace. You are the crown prince. Your Majesty will naturally restrain you. What can you do to prevent your father from causing trouble."

He has no choice, but Lao Gao has it!

Lao Gao is so smart, he must have a solution!

So, Zhu Houzhao ran to Hanyuan to find Yan Chengjin. The palace was in trouble, but Hanyuan was no different from usual.
Chapter completed!
