    After hearing the order, the pro-army troops outside the palace rushed into the main hall, knocked off their official hats, stripped off their official uniforms, dragged them up and walked out of the palace. Now there was really something happening in the court hall.  It's a mess. It's an honor to contradict the emperor and get spanked, but if you just lose your head, you'll lose all your shit!

    If such a thing is regarded as a routine, scolding the emperor in the court will not be a matter of reputation but a risk of life. Naturally, civil servants cannot bear this kind of thing. At present, many civil servants rushed out of the court noisily and planned to join the army from the Han Dynasty.  Grab those censors in your hands!

    When Zhu Youxiao saw this, his face was as cold as ice, and he shouted sternly: "The Han soldiers must obey the order, and anyone who dares to take three steps out of the court will be killed!"

    "According to the decree!" The Han soldiers outside the palace shouted in unison, rushed into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, unsheathed their swords, and lined up in two rows to block the civil and military officials!

    Fang Congzhe did not expect that a good court meeting would suddenly develop to such an extent. He quickly knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty! Using swords and weapons against ministers in the court hall is something that has never happened in ancient times. Veteran minister  I beg your Majesty to take back your order, otherwise your Majesty¡¯s reputation will be ruined!¡±

    At this time, someone in the court class shouted: "We are not afraid of the faint king in the court, even if we have swords and axes on us!"

    When someone shouted like this, the originally chaotic Chaoban immediately seemed to explode. Some young and energetic officials rushed out of the Chaoban with red eyes, but the Han soldiers who had already unsheathed their swords, how could they care about them?  As soon as an official took three steps out of the courtroom, pro-army soldiers would immediately kill him with swords!

    How could an official with only a piece of stone in his hand be a match for the pro-Han army? When five or six people were chopped down, blood flowed across the court and screams could not be heard. How had the excited civil officials ever seen such a scene?  , everyone was stunned with fear, some timid people even peeed out and collapsed on the ground!

    Seeing the tragedy happen, Fang Congzhe seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He took off his official hat dejectedly and knelt in the courtroom. Seeing that Fang Congzhe was about to abandon his official position, Zhu Youxiao smiled calmly and said:  "Mr. Fang Ge, is it just a matter of a few human lives that is worthy of your resignation? Then the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty is too worthless!"

    Before Zhu Youxiao could finish his words, an official who had been slashed on the shoulder covered his wound and shouted: "Hunjun! You are good at killing loyal courtiers, and your cruelty is comparable to that of Jie and Zhou. The Ming Dynasty will surely perish in your hands!"

    Zhu Youxiao looked at the civil servant. He was only in his thirties, but he was already in the fourth rank. He should be considered young and promising. However, Zhu Youxiao had no impression of him and didn't even know his name.  Name, which government office do you serve in?

    Zhu Youxiao walked up to the official, looked at the civilian official's wounds, turned around and asked, "Who cut this?"

    An extremely majestic Han soldier who was less than twenty years old was about to kneel down, but remembering Zhu Youxiao's decree just now, he could only straighten up and said: "In reply to your majesty, this is a small chop."  !¡±

    Zhu Youxiao shook his head and said: "You kid is not very good at your skills. You are not good at strength, angle, or position. They don't use gold sore medicine for your knife. Just wrap it up and it will be fine. If you had done this on the battlefield, you would have given it up a long time ago."  Someone chopped it up!"

    The big Han soldier's face turned red and he didn't know what to say. Zhu Youxiao stood up and patted the big Han soldier who was a head taller than him, and said earnestly: "Practice more in the future, this is a life-saving skill!  "

    The big Han soldier immediately shouted: "Young man obeys the order!"

    Zhu Youxiao then said to the official: "You just said that I am a wise king, and now you say that I am comparable to Jie and Zhou. I really don't know which of your words is true, but I admit that even a cruel king like Jie and Zhou  You can't do anything like killing people in court, but I want to know where your loyalty lies?"

    The official covered his wound, stared at Zhu Youxiao with wide eyes and cursed: "We are loyal to the country, and we will sacrifice our lives to maintain the integrity of the court. Our loyalty will shine through the annals of history!"

    "Is this your loyalty?" Zhu Youxiao sneered: "Then you really insulted the word loyalty!"

    The official pointed at Zhu Youxiao and roared: "Our loyalty can be judged by the sun. Even though you are a foolish king, you are the master of others, but you can't slander us!"

    Zhu Youxiao glanced at the official, and then at the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty. He saw all the civil and military officials in the Jinluan Palace. Some were sad and sad, some were gloating, and some were cowed and fearful. But no matter who they were, what were they harboring?  Such thoughts, but no one dared to look at Zhu Youxiao!

    After a long silence, Zhu Youxiao said: "It has been ten days since I took the throne. During these ten days, I have watched you in this court every day, fighting for your own interests, but I advocate the North."  However, there has been no progress in the water conservancy project. I would like to ask you, do you know why I do not hesitate to use the royal palace??Should we also build water conservancy projects?  "

    At this moment, who among the officials would dare to quarrel with Zhu Youxiao?

    Therefore, the response to Zhu Youxiao was nothing but silence. Zhu Youxiao did not take it seriously and said to himself: "I know, in your hearts, I do this just because I am young and energetic and want to achieve some political achievements as soon as possible.  , and then I want to be known as a wise king, but today you have seen that I don¡¯t care about such a reputation, and today I will tell you why I want to build water conservancy projects at all costs!"

    Zhu Youxiao paused and continued: "Actually, it's very simple to put it bluntly. I just want to give the people a way to survive. You should know that since the 30th year of Wanli, the climate has become colder and colder, natural disasters have become more severe, and the people's harvest has become more and more severe.  The number of people has decreased, and life has become increasingly difficult. In the cold autumn season now, many people have no food to eat and no clothing to cover their bodies. Therefore, I will use work-for-relief methods to allow them to have food and clothing, and to build water conservancy projects.  To improve the disaster situation next year, what have you done?"

    Zhu Youxiao turned around and stared at the officials who were still furious just now, and asked in a voice as cold as ice: "Tell me, in the past ten days, how many people have died because of your incompetence and nonsense? I killed them in the Jinluan Palace.  A few incompetent idiots, you call me a Jie and Zhou, a foolish king, but how many people die every day because of you? Then who are you? Or in your eyes, your life is life, and the lives of those people are not.  It¡¯s just a bunch of weeds, and the sage¡¯s words that the people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least important, are they just bullshit in your eyes?¡±

    Zhu Youxiao glanced at the ministers with sharp eyes, but no one dared to answer his words. Even great scholars like Fang Congzhe and Liu Yixuan felt bitter in their hearts when they saw Zhu Youxiao. It was not that they felt sorry for the people.  But because Zhu Youxiao made excuses for the people time and time again, they didn't know how to refute him!

    These people don't know that in the world where Zhu Youxiao originally lived, there was a saying of occupying the moral high ground, and Zhu Youxiao occupied the moral high ground of serving the country and the people very well. After all, in this era, being an official is the most high-sounding thing.  In a word, make the decision for the people!

    What's more, the sage Kong never said anything about taking the common people for granted. These ministers who used the sage's words to educate the emperor from time to time, when they were severely beaten by Zhu Youxiao from the moral high ground, although they had thousands of words in their hearts,  But none of these words can be said in public!

    Seeing that no one from the ministers responded, Zhu Youxiao said coldly: "Now that the Ming Dynasty is in trouble internally and externally, I don't have time to chat with all the great gentlemen. I will start cracking down on dissidents from tomorrow. Don't bring the quarrels with each other to the court. In addition,  I have decided that Liu Yishen will be appointed as the second assistant, Yang Lian will be appointed as the censor of Zuodu, and if there are vacancies in other ministries, the cabinet will draft a list and submit it as soon as possible."
