    After Wang Yue said these words, the atmosphere in the Wenhua Hall suddenly became stagnant.

    The three bachelors and Wang Qiong frowned deeply and looked solemn. Xiao Jing, who had been keeping his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at Wang Yue with complicated eyes, sighed silently, and closed his eyes again without saying a word.

    Shortly after the death of Emperor Hongzhi, Zhu Houzhao did not make any major changes to the personnel in the court when he ascended the throne. The pattern of the Hongzhi Dynasty remained the same as before, especially several powerful figures in the cabinet and inner court still existed. During the Hongzhi Dynasty, something rare in history occurred.  The good situation of tacit understanding between foreign ministers and internal ministers has not changed.

    The relationship between the cabinet and the Supervisor of Ceremonies was quite pleasant, and Xie Qian also respected the eunuchs of the Supervisor of Ceremonies. After hearing what Wang Yue said, Xie Qian cupped his hands and said, "What the prince means is that there are people around your Majesty."  A sycophant?"

    Wang Yue smiled faintly and said: "Your Majesty has always been very sensible, but since he ascended the throne, he has repeatedly made stupid and inappropriate actions, such as court meetings. In the past, the late emperor had one or even two court meetings every day, but Your Majesty was very impatient even during the court meetings.  Many times he called the eunuchs to say that Long was not feeling well and had to leave the day. For example, the emperor was very involved in everything in the past and had to read every copy. However, now His Majesty has completely given the power of approving red papers to the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and the cabinet handed it to the palace.  Your Majesty handed over the memorial to the Supervisor of Ceremonies without even reading it. If it weren¡¯t for the instigation of the sycophants around him, the Zajia family really couldn¡¯t think of any other reason why Your Majesty would be lazy in his administration.¡±

    Looking at the shocked and ugly faces of several academicians, Wang Yue smiled and continued: "If you don't talk too much, let's talk about your majesty's regret of the engagement. Do you know why your majesty suddenly wants to break the engagement? You are busy with government affairs every day.  As for the news, it¡¯s no wonder, but in addition to Bingbi, the director of etiquette, the Za family also leads the Dongchang, and the news is more than everyone else"

    Liu Jian cupped his hands and said solemnly: "Please tell me in detail."

    The smile on Wang Yue's face gradually filled with a sense of forlornness, and he slowly said: "A few days ago, His Majesty changed into a servant's clothes and left the palace. Dongchang Fanzi reported that His Majesty was accompanied by several eunuchs who served in the East Palace that day.  Next, I climbed up the wall outside Xia Ru Mansion and peeked at me, the future queen of the Ming Dynasty. I watched for half an hour before leaving. When I returned to the palace, Your Majesty changed his mind and ordered someone to summon Wang Shangshu to break the engagement"

    The three bachelors and Wang Qiong, the Minister of Rites, took a deep breath after hearing this, and their faces suddenly became very ugly.  The emperor secretly left the palace and peeked at the appearance of the queen who had not yet completed the ceremony. This was simply stupid and stupid, and it was tantamount to a slap in the face of these courtiers who preached Confucian etiquette all day long.

    It doesn't matter if the emperor is fatuous. If you give more advice and teach more, the fatuous emperor will eventually become a wise emperor. In the past, when Emperor Hongzhi first came to the throne, he was not so wise and mighty. After all, he did a few foolish things, but later on, after the courtiers kept admonishing him, he was not so wise.  Didn't Emperor Hongzhi become a wise monarch?

    Liu Jian and others are not worried about Zhu Houzhao being mediocre. They are confident that Zhu Houzhao will slowly change in the direction they want.

    "However, if there are suddenly a few sycophants around the emperor who are bewitching the king and slandering the emperor, the nature of the matter will be different.

    He obviously didn't dare to go against the ministers, but privately he encouraged the emperor to commit stupid, cruel and unkind and unfilial things. The disaster of sycophants and internal troubles was worse than that of foreign enemies who invaded the territory with thousands of troops, and worse than that of the four regions of the Ming Dynasty.  The refugees gathered into troops, killed officials and rebelled. Foreign enemies could be repulsed and the refugees could be suppressed. These were nothing to worry about. However, the destructive power of the emperor's sycophants was greater than that of the foreign enemies and refugees. Every slanderous word and deception they made was directly affecting the situation.  Destroying the foundation of the Ming Dynasty!

    The expressions of Liu Jian and others gradually became serious, with murderous intent flashing across their faces from time to time.

    The Ming Dynasty is at the time of its resurgence. Anyone who wants to destroy the great situation created by the late emperor and them will be removed without hesitation!

    "Could it be that the sycophants mentioned by the prince are referring to the eunuchs in the East Palace in the past, such as Liu Jin, Gu Dayong, Zhang Yong and others?" Liu Jian asked slowly.

    Wang Yue said with a smile: "In the past, there were eight people serving your majesty in the East Palace. You should not underestimate these eight people. Although they are powerless now, your majesty has been served by these eight people since he was a child. Their friendship has accumulated over time, and they can be said to be as close as each other.  Family, their words are worth thousands of words from a few great scholars"

    boom!

    Liu Jian, the first assistant academician, finally couldn't help but slap the table, his whole body was shaking with anger, and he stood up.

    "What a servant eunuch! How dare you bewitch your Majesty and disrupt the laws of my ancestors? You are like eight ambitious wolves No, not wolves, they are tigers, the Eight Tigers in the Inner Palace! All gentlemen, follow me into the palace  ¡­¡±

    "Come on, Mr. Liu, wait a minute, we haven't finished talking yet" Wang Yue stopped the furious Liu Jian with a smile.

    Liu Jian suppressed his anger, cupped his hands and said, "What else do you have to say, Eunuch Wang?"

    Wang YueHis smile remained the same, his eyes sparkled, and he looked at the angry ministers of the outer court. He knew that the heat had come, so he slowly revealed his true purpose.

    "Does Mr. Liu know that there are more than eight people who have bewitched your Majesty"

    "What?" Liu Jianhuan's eyes widened angrily.

    Wang Yue said with a smile: "Dongchang fanzi reported that that day, His Majesty made the ridiculous move of climbing up the wall to spy on the Queen. At that time, the eunuchs in the inner palace stayed under the wall, and only one person climbed up with His Majesty.  On the wall, the two of them were watching and talking. After returning to the palace, His Majesty changed his mind and wanted to regret the engagement. It is impossible to know what they said about Dongchang, but His Majesty's decision to regret the engagement was probably inseparable from this person. Besides  Your majesty and the queen have not yet had their wedding ceremony, and a minister dares to peek at the future queen with your majesty. This act alone is enough to be beheaded and the house confiscated."

    Liu Jian was furious, his white hair and beard were raging, and his teeth were clenching. Xie Qian, Li Dongyang and Wang Qiong didn't look much better. The Wenhua Hall was silent, but there was a suffocating atmosphere brewing.  murderous intent.

    Xiao Jing didn't know when he opened his eyes and looked at Wang Yue who was talking eloquently. There was a sarcastic look in his eyes for some reason, as if he was looking at a clown who was entertaining people.

    "Who is the person that the prince is talking about?" Liu Jian asked slowly, his words as cold as ice.

    Wang Yue smiled and said leisurely: "Comrade Commander of the Jinyi Guards, Qin Kan."

    Everyone in the hall twitched their cheeks, and Li Dongyang's eyelids twitched imperceptibly.

    There was another oppressive silence.

    I don¡¯t know how much time passed, but Xie Qian said with murderous intent in his voice: ¡°So, the traitors around your Majesty are not just the Eight Tigers, but the Nine Tigers?¡±

    Wang Yue continued: "Among the nine, Qin Kan has the most transcendent status. The eight eunuchs serve as slaves, and they dare not be too lax. Only Qin Kan is a foreign minister, but your majesty obeys his words. The friendship between the two  Deep, everyone knows that the emperor treats him as a brother and friend. This person is far-sighted and ambitious. Does Liu Gong still remember that on the day of His Majesty's enthronement ceremony, the moment His Majesty opened his mouth, he wanted to make Qin Kan king? If it weren't for this son's instigation behind the scenes.  , How could your Majesty ignore the etiquette and say this sentence that is against the etiquette of the court? You should understand that internal troubles are worse than external troubles. Today's troubles for the inner court are caused by the nine tigers. The troubles caused by the nine tigers are Qin Kan.  He is the chief culprit. If you, the princes, plan to protect our Ming Dynasty for thousands of years, Qin Kan must be eliminated!"
