    "Today is the day when integrity and righteousness are sacrificed!"

    Yang Shen¡¯s words inspired the hearts of civil and military people throughout the dynasty.

    He expressed everyone's feelings. Whether the Ming Dynasty's civil servants were morally corrupt, whether they were seeking fame and reputation, or whether they were greedy, there was one thing that was desirable after all. It was also the most precious and shining thing in China's more than two thousand years of history. To sum up, it was very simple.  It's simple, just "fighting for justice".

    Civil servants are not afraid of pain or death. Sometimes, in order to gain a reputation as "not afraid of the powerful", they even like to dance on the tip of a knife and actively provoke the emperor. They almost kneel down and beg him to give them a royal staff so that they can show off when they go back.  An official who has received the imperial rod is an incompetent official. This kind of behavior is of course very despicable, but on the other hand, it can also be seen how fearless the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were. Such people would not engage in the beheading business of rebelling.  What a waste of talent

    Yang Shen's sharp shout seemed to ignite the long-suppressed anger in the hearts of the courtiers. The silence in the golden palace was instantly broken, and the crowd was boiling.

    ¡°Go to Chengtianmen and kneel down to remonstrate, His Majesty refuses to allow us to die by banging our heads against the palace gate!¡±

    "Let's go together!"

    "Let's go together!"

    More than 400 civil and military ministers shouted and walked out of the Golden Palace angrily, heading towards Chengtian Gate.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Qianqing Palace.

    "Your Majesty, something serious has happened! Officials, both civil and military, gathered at Chengtianmen again to kneel down and remonstrate, begging Your Majesty to grant the courtesy request." The young eunuch knelt down outside the threshold of the hall in a hurry, speaking in a hurried tone.

    The court had just ended, and Zhu Houcong, who had nowhere to express his anger, was startled when he heard this, and said angrily: "Here we go again! Do these ministers have to force me to death? Besides crying and making trouble, what else will they do? Why?  Let them go! They can kneel down as long as they like!"

    The young eunuch said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't take it easy this time"

    "What's the meaning?"

    "At this moment, there are more than 400 ministers kneeling outside Chengtian Gate. Half an hour ago, four ministers had hit their heads against the palace gate. They fainted until they were bleeding. After being carried away, four more ministers came up and continued to hit their heads.  Door, look at their posture, they are trying to remonstrate to death"

    Zhu Houcong trembled all over, and his eyes showed panic involuntarily.

    He can not care about the opinions of the ministers, and can act arbitrarily, because this is the natural right of the king, and it is natural. But he cannot sit back and watch the ministers line up one by one and die in front of the palace. If this matter is spread all over the world in the future  , the ministers have certainly made the Qing Dynasty famous and their names will be immortalized in history, but on the other hand, what about the reputation of Emperor Jiajing?  Who in the world would not call him a cruel and stupid emperor?  He had killed so many ministers before he could even secure his position as emperor. He had just ascended the throne, and the princes from all over the country were dissatisfied. If such a murderous crime that shocked the world happened again at this time, how many more days would he be able to remain emperor?  ?

    His eyelids twitched a few times, and Zhu Houcong stood up. The anger in the Golden Palace had long since disappeared, and turned into anxiety. He hurriedly said: "Quickly, order the Han general to stop the ministers and invite them to go to the Fengtian Palace to discuss matters  ¡­¡±

    Stomping his feet heavily, Zhu Houcong was anxious and frightened, and said: "What is there that cannot be discussed with good words and we have to do such a shocking thing? It's just a dispute over etiquette, why would you harm me!"

    The young eunuch received the order and hurried to the palace gate.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Outside the Chengtian Gate, more than four hundred ministers, wearing official robes, knelt in the dust, kowtowed and cried loudly, facing the palace gate.

    In front of the palace gate, there were four ministers who banged their heads on the door, making a loud bang. Blood on their foreheads flowed down their faces. The four of them were already on the verge of falling. The Han general on duty outside the gate changed his color slightly, and the two gatekeepers  The young eunuch looked sad and couldn't help rubbing his hands and stamping his feet in anxiety, but he didn't dare to come forward to persuade him.

    The leader, Yan Song, didn¡¯t know whether it was true or not, and cried the saddest thing, but no one noticed that every time Yan Song kowtowed, he would straighten his back and glance back casually, as if waiting for something

    Fusi, Beizhen.

    Ding Shun bowed his head with a respectful expression: "My lord, this morning, the new emperor has issued an order to Qian Ning to go to Tianjin to thoroughly investigate the illegal activities of various officials in Tianjin, including the prefect's yamen, commanding the envoys, and the Jinyi Guards Qianhu Office.  There are two yamen in Yancao, the Shipping Department and the Navy"

    Qin Kan sneered: "This is a posture to uproot me Before I can secure my position, I am busy reducing my power in a hurry. I can't wait. After all, I am a twelve-year-old child, and my methods are a little more mature. I pay attention to the temper in everything.  The heat is not yet up, can you remove the pot?"

    Ding Shun smiled and said: "You can do it at the age of twelveIt's a big deal that something like this happened. If my children were half as clever as his, I would have almost crippled them back then.  "

    Qin Kan raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said leisurely: "Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix. The son of a mouse can dig holes. Does his cleverness have something to do with his father? Is your son unjustly beaten so many times?"

    Ding Shun smiled awkwardly and quickly changed the self-humiliating topic, saying: "My lord, today at the court meeting, Yan Song brought up the topic of etiquette again. As expected, the new emperor was furious and walked away. Yan Song and his chief minister  Yang Shen, the son of Assistant Yang Tinghe, instigated a few words in the Golden Palace. Now Yan Song and Yang Shen have led the ministers to kneel down at Chengtian Gate to remonstrate. Today's remonstrance is called 'death remonstrance' by all the civil and military officials."

    Qin Kan seemed not surprised, and there was a light in his eyes that no one could understand.

    "If hundreds of officials die to remonstrate, how do you think the new emperor will react?"

    Ding Shun smiled and said: "If the officials really spill some blood in front of the palace gate, the new emperor may not be able to bear it, so he will definitely persuade him with good words"

    Qin Kan nodded: "Yes, even though he is a great leader, his foundation is still very weak. It doesn't matter if he offends one or two ministers, but it will be a bit troublesome to offend the civil and military officials of the dynasty."

    After saying this, Qin Kan and Ding Shun stopped talking. After a long time, Ding Shun took out a long list from his arms and handed it to Qin Kan.

    "According to the Lord's order, there are a total of 122 people on the roster, all of whom are officials of the fourth rank or above in the capital. The Jinyi Guards have been investigating for more than three years. Some of these people have occupied land in the local area, and some have made unjust cases and committed crimes.  Innocent people die, and some often frame the crime and create false evidence to impeach the father many times. They all have a way to die"

    Qin Kan said calmly: "These people"

    Ding Shun hurriedly continued: "These people are all gathered in front of Chengtian Gate today, crying and kneeling to remonstrate."

    Qin Kan nodded again, but closed his eyes and remained silent.

    Seeing that Qin Kan didn¡¯t express anything, Ding Shun immediately understood what he meant. With a flash of murderous intent in his eyes, he stuffed the roster into his arms and left the room respectfully.

    After Ding Shun withdrew for a moment, Qin Kan slowly opened his eyes and stared blankly at the beams above his head. After a long time, he let out a wry smile.

    ¡°There have always been famous ministers and good generals, and those who achieve greatness without killing people are so rare. It turns out that I am not exempt from this" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
