Talking so much about Yan Guan is actually to let Zhu Cixiang completely rectify Yan Guan.

We must know that the two pillars of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, also suffered greatly from it.

Lu Xiangsheng died in battle and could not be buried for more than 80 days, and Yan Guan also played an important role.

Zhu Cihong looked at the several civil officials and censors who had given advice. He didn't recognize any of them. They were probably the new officials who had just filled the positions of the censors and civil officials whom he had killed.

I have to say that these people are so courageous. They are not afraid of their predecessors being killed, and they dare to give random advice.

Today, Zhu Cixiang wanted to see if they were stubborn or if his own sword was sharp.

Zhu Cihong walked to Emperor Chongzhen and saw that the small chair that the emperor had prepared for him was still there.

Then he bowed to Chongzhen, and immediately sat down quietly regardless of whether the emperor saw him or not.

Emperor Chongzhen was sulking when he suddenly felt movement around him. When he looked back, he found that the Crown Prince was already sitting next to him.

Chongzhen did not blame the emperor who had just returned to Beijing after making great achievements. Instead, he was happy that Zhu Cixiang could take the initiative to attend the court meeting.

Several civil servants and censors kneeling under the imperial street kept their heads lowered, and they did not notice the arrival of the crown prince.

But the civil and military ministers standing in the second class had already noticed the crown prince sitting on the small chair and hurriedly stepped forward to salute:

"See Your Highness!"

"Congratulations to Your Highness on your victory and triumph!"

"Your Highness is mighty!"

…

The ministers said they had everything, Zhu Cixiang smiled and waved his little hand:

"Your Majesty, please forgive me and stay on your own terms!"

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs thanked him and returned to court.

But those few officials and censors were a little dumbfounded. They did not expect that the crown prince would go to court.

Xiao Shaxing led the army to defeat Jiannu and made great achievements. Why don't you take a good rest for a few days?

The ministers retreated, and they bowed their hands to Zhu Cixiang, but they still knelt there and did not move. It seemed that the emperor was not allowed to play, and they had no intention of getting up!

Zhu Cixiang ignored these idiots and turned to look at his father, knowingly asking:

"Father, why can't these ministers kneel down?"

Zhu Cixiang took the initiative to ask, and Chongzhen had to answer. He said in a cold tone:

“I am opposed to enshrining the memorial tablets of soldiers who died in battle in the Zhonghun Temple, and I am even more opposed to the imperial court enshrining them. I also recommend that the memorial tablets of Guang Shiheng and Tang Shiji be enshrined in the Zhonghun Temple...”

Zhu Cixiang slowly stood up from the small chair. He stared at these officials and smiled:

"Are you opposed to the soldiers who died fighting for the Ming Dynasty entering the Loyal Soul Shrine? What's the reason?"

In fact, they are not the only ministers who oppose the entry of memorial tablets of soldiers killed in battle into the Chunghun Shrine.

Most of the officials were unwilling, but these few became the ones who stood out.

They only entered the court as an official after ten years of hard work, and fought and intrigued all the way to the court. They believed that a scholar should be respected for his hard career as an official.

Confucius once said: Punishment is not as severe as that of scholar-bureaucrats, which shows the high status of literati in ancient times.

The purpose of their studying the Four Books and Five Classics is to become an official, to seek benefits for the family, and to leave a name in history.

Many officials and censors did not hesitate to curse the emperor in order to leave a name in history. In the end, they lost their lives but left a bad reputation.

But the emperor actually planned to let some vulgar warriors enter the Zhonghun Temple to be remembered forever, and the imperial court would offer sacrifices to them regularly every year.

Seeing the Crown Prince asking questions, these imperial officials did not dare to look at the mighty Crown Prince and hurriedly bowed their heads and replied:

"Your Highness, it is the duty of soldiers to fight for the country. If a group of warriors' spiritual tablets are enshrined in the Zhonghun Temple for annual sacrifices, I think it will damage the majesty of the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court does this and makes the officials who have been admonishing them feel so embarrassed. Yu Shaobao did not even enter the Zhonghun Temple.

,Besides, a group of vulgar people..."

"Shut up and shut your stinky mouth for me!"

Before these civil officials and censors could say anything about the vulgar warriors, Zhu Cixiang interrupted them with a sharp shout. His angry rebuke also frightened all the officials to tremble.

Zhu Cixiang looked coldly at the several censors who were kneeling under the imperial steps:

"You talk nonsense all day long and talk shit. When the slaves are raging in Gyeonggi, why don't you go and kill them? Instead, you attack the soldiers who died fighting for the country. This will only make your loved ones angry and your enemies happy.

I finally know today why the combat effectiveness of the Ming Dynasty's army is so low. It's all thanks to you talkative people. If you win, the credit will be yours. If you lose, you will be sprayed to death.

You say that the duty of the censor is to monitor the corruption and inaction of all officials, not to watch the emperor's every move all day long. Now that corruption is not common in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, why don't we see you admonishing corrupt officials to be investigated and punished..."

Zhu Cixiang scolded several censors and officials in front of the civil and military officials of the court. The Emperor Chongzhen, who had been silent all this time, felt so happy that someone finally vented his anger on his behalf.

Several censors were dumbfounded by Zhu Cixiang's insults, and could not find any words to fight back. In the past, Emperor Chongzhen was kind to Yan Guan and the censors, but he would never be so rude to Yan Guan.

The first official to speak was Zhang Xuan, the deputy imperial envoy to the capital. When he saw the crown prince openly insulting the official, he hurriedly said:

"Your Highness, I don't know if any official is corrupt. Please show mercy..."

Zhu Cixi snorted coldly:

"Humph, there are no corrupt officials? Then I will let you see if there are any corrupt officials today. Li Ruolian will take people to search his house for me. Let me see if he is a corrupt official or a clean one!"

"Here"

Li Ruolian took the order and immediately led people to raid Zhang Xuan's home.

"Your Highness does not want it, I am Qingliu..."

Zhu Cixiang didn't play according to the routine, and Zhang Xuan was so frightened that he almost fainted. He hurriedly stepped forward to stop Li Ruolian, but was thrown away by Li Ruolian.

This guy looked bad and hurriedly kowtowed to Chongzhen.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me. I am not guilty. Your Highness raided my house for no reason..."

Emperor Chongzhen felt very happy when he saw these talkative people being frightened out of their wits by the prince. He was worried that he would be attacked by the official, so he would never be cruel to the official.

Seeing Zhang Xuan asking him to stop the crown prince, Emperor Chongzhen guessed that this old boy must be a corrupt official. How could Emperor Ziwei Star be wrong about the wrong person? So he smiled slightly and said:

"My dear, don't be nervous. You are a pure man and not a corrupt official. What are you worried about? If Li Ruolian cannot make a huge amount of money, I will definitely ask the prince to apologize to you..."

"His Majesty……"

Zhang Xuan was left speechless by Emperor Chongzhen and could only pray that Li Ruolian would not find his cellar!

Seeing several officials and censors kneeling there and shivering, Zhu Cixiang glanced at the officials and said coldly:

"When the country is in crisis, I must use heavy rituals. Many soldiers don't even have enough to eat, and some of their families even starve to death. However, they still go to battle to kill the enemy and serve the country loyally. Why can't they enter the Loyal Soul Shrine?

To quell the rogue bandits and revive the Ming Dynasty, we still need soldiers to work hard. To eliminate the Jian slaves and regain the unification of China in Shenyang, we still need soldiers to sacrifice their lives and blood. Why can't we enter the Loyal Soul Temple?

Regardless of whether you are a civil official or a military general, as long as you sacrifice your life for the resurgence of the Ming Dynasty and the unification of China, I will enshrine you in the Zhonghun Temple and offer sacrifices to you every year.

You are as timid as a mouse, selfish and have no feelings for your family and country. You can't do anything for the Ming Dynasty and ZTE. Instead, you spend all your time chattering and spitting feces to drag the Ming Dynasty and ZTE back. Don't fart in the future!

I would like to declare here today that the Zhonghun Temple was built for the soldiers and officials who died in the war. Their tablets will definitely be enshrined in the Zhonghun Temple, and the imperial court will definitely offer sacrifices every year.
