    Regarding the appointment and dismissal of the foreign court, Zhu Houzhao, who had just ascended the throne, could not play a big role. The appointment and dismissal of ministers had to be decided through court meetings, and the results of the court meetings were often not what Zhu Houzhao wanted.

    Of course, if Zhu Houzhao's character was more violent and strong, he could ignore the results of the court discussions of the ministers and promote anyone he wanted. Zhu Houzhao's grandfathers had done this before. During the Tianshun period, Emperor Yingzong would not go through the court officials.  The Ministry of Finance promoted a large number of flattering officials without any legal procedures such as selection, court recommendation and ministry meetings. History books call it "the first internal appointment of officials". This is also the notorious so-called "passionate appointment" in the history of the Ming Dynasty.  Serving as an official".

    The emperor has the power to break the rules of the game, but the consequences are beyond his control.

    The reputation of this kind of ministerial official who was promoted only by the emperor's decree without going through the court procedures has filled the court with stench. Because this kind of official directly enters the civil service system, the civil servants have no regard for the ministerial official.  The antipathy was especially stronger than that of the factory guards, which destined the group of ministers to be isolated and hostile in the court, and finally had to withdraw from the stage of history sadly.

    Although Zhu Houzhao already had the image of an emperor and a cowardly king, he did not dare to easily set a precedent for serving as an official. He wanted to promote Qin Kan, but he had to find another way.

    Ministers whom he trusted and were close to could not be promoted for the time being. Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao still had the power to decide the ministers. The chief minister of rites was called the inner court, but he was actually the emperor's domestic slave. Zhu Houzhao naturally had the power to appoint and remove the domestic slaves.

    Liu Jin got Zhu Houzhao's promise and couldn't help but be so grateful that she lay on the ground and cried loudly. This time, she cried sincerely and without any falsehood.

    Liu Jin had to cry. He was sixty-two years old this year. He had been a lowly servant all his life and finally had a great career. Who could have imagined that the old eunuch who had never been taken seriously by anyone during the Hongzhi Dynasty could one day be able to drive  How about becoming a veritable internal minister of the Ming Dynasty above the Ling Inner Palace?

    The eunuch could sit in this position, and it was counted.

    "Old slave, I will serve your Majesty till my death!" Liu Jin sobbed and kept kowtowing to Zhu Houzhao.

    The remaining seven people looked at Liu Jin with envy and jealousy like seven donkeys with pink eye.

    Zhang Yong snorted. Out of the seven people, he had the most discordant relationship with Liu Jin. Liu Jin had gained the power. If Zhang Yong didn't take a share of the pie, he might have a hard time in the future. Given Liu Jin's temperament, he was sent to the Internal Prison Huanyi Bureau.  It is not impossible to wash the obscene pants of the palace people every day.

    Zhang Yong is ambitious and does not want to wash his obscene pants.

    Kneeling down in front of Zhu Houzhao, Zhang Yong said with a bit of eagerness in his smile: "Your Majesty, the one who is loyal to the Lord is not only Eunuch Liu, but Zhang Yong is also the most loyal old slave around you."

    Liu Jin¡¯s sobbing voice suddenly stopped, and then she turned her head and glanced at Zhang Yong expressionlessly.

    Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed and said: "Yes, I think you are much more loyal than those guys from the outer court and the inner court."

    Zhang Yong took the opportunity to claim credit and said: "There was a big chaos in the palace last night. In order to cut off Wang Yue's gang members, the old slave entered the Royal Horse Prison alone and took over the power of the Royal Horse Prison"

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off.

    "At that time, Mr. Qin said that he felt most at ease with handing over the Royal Horse Prison to the old slave. After all, the old slave had some knowledge of martial arts and was loyal. After beheading Ning Jin outside the palace last night, Mr. Qin handed over Ning Jin's tooth-branded tiger talisman on the spot.  Give it to the old slave"

    At this time, even the innocent Zhu Houzhao finally understood the meaning of Zhang Yong's words. Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but chuckle, kicked him lightly, and scolded him with a smile: "It took me a long time to say a word, but I still think you are going to say something."  Well, it turns out this is Well, since Qin Kan thinks you are suitable, he must have a good eye for people. From now on, I will leave the palm of the Royal Horse Supervisor to you. Military power is very important, don't let me down.  .¡±

    Zhang Yong was overjoyed. He followed Liu Jin's example and prostrated himself as if worshiping a god. He lay down deeply towards Zhu Houzhao and choked with emotion: "I will live up to your majesty's expectations. Thank you for your grace!"

    The leaders of the civil and military officials in the inner court, as well as the political and military leaders, have all been found. The remaining six donkeys have changed from red eyes to green eyes, staring at Zhu Houzhao like six extremely hungry wolves.

    They finally realized that now was the time to divide the fruits of victory. Now the two biggest fruits had been taken by Liu Jin and Zhang Yong, and the rest

    The six of them looked at each other warily, their knees softened and they knelt down to claim credit and power. Gu Dayong said with a flattering smile: "Your Majesty, in fact, this old slave is also very kind to you"

    At this time, I saw a young eunuch hurriedly ran into the palace and said: "Your Majesty, morning.?It has been delayed for two hours. The ministers outside the Meridian Gate are waiting. Will His Majesty come to court today?  "

    Zhu Houzhao blinked his eyes and suddenly laughed and said: "Go to court, of course I have to go to court! Last night Qin Kan helped me give them a big slap in the mouth. How could I not go and see if their faces are swollen today?"  , come and deliver the order to the court."

    After that, Zhu Houzhao excitedly waved his sleeves and left the palace.

    Gu Da looked at Zhu Houzhao walking away with helpless eyes, and finished the unfinished words in a low voice with great sadness, anger and grievance: " you are loyal."

    ***************************************************  *************

    With nine blasts of the cleansing whip, the emperor ascended to the throne in the Dragon Court, and all the officials knelt down to worship the mountain and shouted long live the mountain.

    ¡°Then¡­there was a frightening silence.

    In the Fengtian Palace, more than half of the ministers were pale. Last night, Qin Kan slashed Dongchang with a knife, which made the ministers in the capital tremble with fear. Everyone knew that Qin Kan was following the emperor's will, and they also knew that the emperor's move was called "Knocking on the Mountain to Shake the Tiger"  , it was clear that the massacre of Wang Yue and Dongchang was actually the most severe warning to the ministers in the court. After all, the cause of the incident was that the cabinet mobilized ministers to impeach Qin Kan, Liu Jin and other Nine Tigers.

    At this moment, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty finally understood that the young and immature emperor on the dragon throne had another side. No matter how young a real dragon was, he was still a real dragon. The thunderbolts dropped by the real dragon after being enraged were not something that mortals could withstand.

    The king of Ming Dynasty was named Zhu after all.

    The emperor¡¯s wrath left millions of corpses lying dead, and blood spread for thousands of miles.  The killing last night was like a resounding slap in the face, completely waking up the ministers in the court who had become increasingly arrogant and lost their duties because Emperor Hongzhi had passed away and the new emperor was weak and easy to bully. They finally responded to the young man.  Zhu Houzhao felt a little in awe.

    Zhu Houzhao had a smile on his face, a smile that was a bit sarcastic and a bit cold. Such an expression rarely appeared on his face, but today he showed it without any scruples in front of the ministers.

    Yes, he is the son of God, he is one person in heaven and earth, and he is the only one in the world who is qualified to look down on all living beings, including these ministers in the palace.

    Liu Jian and Xie Qian looked gloomy and stood silently in the courtroom. Li Dongyang still took leave and did not go to court. The two cabinet ministers remained calm, but their momentum was much lower than in previous court meetings.

    Everyone in the hall had their own thoughts. Zhu Houzhao coughed twice, breaking the silence.

    "Do you have nothing to report today?"

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    The monarchy and the ministerial power have been compromising and colliding with each other for more than a hundred years. In today's situation, the monarchy has finally become the winner. As losers, what can they say?

    Zhu Houzhao waited for a long time, and the image of the ministers' attitudes changing drastically and being flattered by them did not appear. He couldn't help but feel a little bored, and his lips were deflated, so he could only continue: "If you have nothing to do, I have a few things to do."  I want to talk about somethingLiu Jin."

    "The old slave is here."

    "Declare my will."

    "Yes," Liu Jin stood in front of Zhu Houzhao with a sneer, turned to face the minister, and said slowly: "Your Majesty has an edict. The eunuch Bingbi, the eunuch and Wang Yue, the director of the East Factory, colluded with foreign ministers to plot evil and act without authorization.  Troops were mobilized into the palace. Ning Jingan, the eunuch in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor, was a party member and banned troops from the palace. These two people had been executed last night. They were ordered to take away their positions. The Royal Horse Supervisor was handed over to Zhang Yong, and the Chief of Ceremonies was handed over to Zhang Yong.  Depend on¡­¡­"

    As Liu Jin read and recited, his expression became uncontrollably agitated, and even his tone became trembling: "Leave it to Liu Jin, and from now on, the internal and external ministers will report state affairs, and everything above the cabinet will be decided by the Chief of Ceremonies and Liu Jin.  .¡±

    Although the emperor's momentum was suppressed, as soon as this imperial edict came out, all the ministers in the palace couldn't help but burst into an uproar.

    "Everything depends on Liu Jin", what a stupid edict!

    Since the Ming Dynasty's cabinet system matured, even though it was known that the Secretary of Ceremony was responsible for approving red papers on behalf of the emperor, the kings of the past dynasties would never bring this matter to the table, because the more the Secretary of Ceremonies approved red papers on behalf of the emperor, it meant that the emperor was getting better and better.  The more lazy you are, the more stupid you are. Everything is approved by the Chief of Ceremonies. What do you want the emperor to do?

    Today, Zhu Houzhao actually stated this matter so plainly and openly in the Golden Palace, as if he was afraid that others would not know how fatuous he was as an emperor Weird!

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUTOUT

    Then he rolled his eyes and fainted.

    Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt very disappointed. He waved his hand impatiently and said, "Carry it out, carry it out, and let the imperial doctor take a look. What does it have to do with the late emperor if you fainted for no reason? You ministers simply don't know what to say"  "

    When several censors who were about to kneel down and lament the late emperor heard this, their half-softened knees suddenly became hard again. They held back their anger and stood in the courtroom, trembling with anger.

    The atmosphere in Fengtian Hall became increasingly dull and depressing.

    Zhu Houzhao looked around and suddenly said: "Huh? Where is Qin Kan? Why didn't Qin Kan come? Come on, please bring Qin Kan into the palace. Haha, he is a great hero."
