    More than 400 ministers knelt in front of Chengtian Gate to remonstrate.

    This is a direct collision between imperial power and ministerial power. The two are tit for tat without compromise.

    The cries in front of Chengtian Gate were loud, and ministers banged their heads on the door one after another. The people who were watching were on three levels inside and outside. For the first time, people realized the sacredness of the two words "ritual and music". For these two words,  There are people who are willing to use their lives and blood to defend it.

    Zhu Houcong was so anxious in the Palace of Qianqing that he sent eunuchs one after another to persuade him, but the ministers ignored him at all. Except for Zhu Houcong who took the initiative to issue an edict to change his father, there was no discussion on the matter. If he didn't agree, everyone would be killed in front of the palace gate.  , you can change a group of people to be ministers.

    Anyone can see that this is a threat.

    However, this kind of threat was legitimate. Even if Zhu Houcong intensively read thousands of volumes of ancient and modern classics and history and argued with the ministers, he would still be unable to get the result because he did not grasp the truth. Any minister could just pull out the sage's book and point it out to him one by one. Here is  It's reasonable, it's reasonable here, ah, there should be applause here

    The eunuchs who persuaded him came back disgraced one by one. It was obvious that the ministers were more interested in banging on the door than in persuading.

    Zhu Houcong was anxious. He had never experienced such a battle. He only heard that coming to the capital to be emperor would have far different power and status than when he was imprisoned in the palace. But who knew that he would encounter such a thing when he first ascended the throne? Don't agree.  , if a few ministers are really killed, Zhu Houcong's reputation as a faint king will be spread all over the world, agree, where is the dignity of yourself and your biological parents?  Besides, he compromised with the ministers this time and allowed them to find out his bottom line. If he doesn't have to do anything worse in the future, what's the point of being an emperor?

    When Zhu Houcong was hesitating in the Qianqing Palace and was in a dilemma, something unexpected happened in front of Chengtian Gate.

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

    In the Chengtianmen Square where the cries shook the sky, Yang Tinghe reluctantly knelt down with the officials to petition. From the bottom of his heart, Yang Tinghe was really unwilling to use this method to blackmail the emperor to achieve his goal, no matter how noble and just the goal was.  , once blackmail was used, the whole thing seemed a little overdue. However, what was helpless was that today's matter was instigated by his own precious son Yang Shen. Yang Shen had never discussed it with him before doing this.  Even he was caught off guard in the court today. Before he could say anything to stop him, a large group of enthusiastic ministers followed Yang Shen out of the palace gate.

    Amid the public outrage, Yang Tinghe, as the chief assistant bachelor of the cabinet, had no choice but to comply happily. When most people were doing something they thought was just, the remaining small number of people had to be punished even if they did not agree with it in their hearts.  Kidnapped by strong public opinion, for ministers, reputation is more important than life.

    Yang Tinghe watched with cold eyes as batch after batch of ministers banged their heads against the palace door, causing them to drip with blood and even faint. He kept his head down and said nothing, but Qin Kan's elegant and gentle face could not help but appear in his mind.

    There were so many major events happening in the court in the past few days, but Duke Qin actually ignored him, as if he was living in seclusion. Even though the new emperor raised him up and down secretly, and it was obvious that he was going to deal with him next, he still didn't respond.  , what on earth is hethinking about?  Considering his temperament, he shouldn't be such a patient person.

    When he was confused, Yang Yiqing, the official minister, who was kneeling beside him, came over.

    "Jie Fu, after all, it is not an option to continue making trouble like this. Even if your Majesty is forced to compromise today, in the future, the monarch and his ministers will become increasingly alienated, indifferent and even hate each other, which will not be good for the country"

    Yang Tinghe's face was gloomy and he said coldly: "I don't know that this move is too much. I hate that scoundrel of mine who incited the ministers without discussing with me, leading to the current situation. If Your Majesty refuses to compromise, how will it end today?"

    Yang Yiqing sighed: "We can't end the situation. Your Majesty's refusal to agree to the etiquette is the second best. If we make Long Yan furious, I'm afraid there will be a river of blood in front of Chengtian Gate today"

    Yang Tinghe was horrified: "Your Majesty won't be so cruel, right?"

    "This new king is only twelve years old. It is said that he was a well-known virtuous prince when he was in Anlu Prefecture's Prince's Mansion. He read poetry and books intensively and was familiar with history. At the age of twelve, he had already begun to learn how to make decisions and discuss classics. He was very good at reading, but he was very good at reading.  Does it have anything to do with being cruel or not? Are there many tyrants in history who like reading and killing people?"

    Yang Tinghe's expression gradually slowed down, and he shook his head with a smile: "Brother Ying Ning, you are too worried. Today, there are more than 400 civil servants of the fourth rank and above of the capital gathered in front of the palace gate. I don't believe that Your Majesty dares to kill more than 400 people at the same time.  If we are all killed, who will govern this huge country? Isn¡¯t he afraid that the scholars of the world will be at odds with the royal family of the Tian family? If his reputation for torturing and killing scholar-officials spreads, how will he be the emperor in the future?"

    Yang Yiqing smiled bitterly.He kept pretending that he had received the imperial edict, but Eunuch Li felt something was wrong. As soon as he sent someone back to confirm the authenticity with His Majesty, the action started in front of the palace gate"

    Zhu Houcong felt his head getting more and more dizzy, and he had an unpleasant premonition that a disaster was imminent. He asked in a trembling voice: "Ministersare there any casualties?"

    "One hundred households and their subordinates were holding fire and water sticks, and the ministers were all old and unarmed. They used the sticks and killed one hundred and thirteen ministers on the spot"

    Zhu Houcong's face became paler, tears welled up in his eyes, and he looked up to the sky and cried loudly: "Who harmed me so much! Teach me how to face the people of the world! Wrong, I was wrong! I shouldn't be this emperor!"

    "Your Majesty, after the hundreds of households and his generals killed more than a hundred ministers with sticks, they ordered them to go back to the palace to pay their respects, and then left. The corpses of more than a hundred ministers were still placed in front of the palace gate and no one paid attention to them. The guards on duty at the palace gate  The general of the Han Dynasty, the onlookers of the factory guards and the five-city military commander did not dare to act rashly without knowing the holy will. Your Majesty, you should hurry to Chengtianmen to have a look. The two or three hundred ministers who are alive are already angry. Xu Heng, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue  He and Zhang Pei, the young minister of Dali Temple, originally survived, but they couldn't bear the humiliation. Just before the servant came to report the news, the two of them slammed the door in anger and died in front of the palace gate"

    Zhu Houcong wiped his tears fiercely and said: "Of course I want to go, hurry up and drive to Chengtianmen. This is not my will. The thief is trying to make me offend the world! I want to explain it clearly to all my ministers."

    After packing up his ceremonial clothes, Zhu Houcong, surrounded by a group of eunuchs, just stepped out of the Qianqing Palace threshold when he heard another rush of footsteps, which made Zhu Houcong feel very frightened.

    "Your Majesty, it's not good! News of the murder at the palace gate just now has reached the Cining Palace. The Queen Mother was furious and said that the new king was unkind and tortured and killed more than a hundred people. This is actually shocking since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. The Queen Mother  Your Majesty has been urgently summoned to Cining Palace to discuss this matter in detail"

    Zhu Houcong staggered and almost fell to the ground. He was stunned for a long time and cried loudly again.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
