Chapter 930: Zhu Cihong's Choice

"Hahahaha! Very good! You guys are really nice! Zhu Cihong suddenly sat on the dragon chair and laughed.

Now he is really a mixed feeling in his heart, and the one kneeling in front of him is the important minister he trusts, and the one they want to put to death is the brother who once turned the tide of Daming.

But what is he guilty of?

When his father was there, Zhu Cihong knew that these burdens were not what Liu Hongjian wanted, they were all imposed by his father, and in the past few years, he has also followed suit, so that there is the Zhongxing of the Ming Dynasty, so that the ministers kneeling in front of them can enjoy the benefits of peace in peace.

They hold the money of the court, and enjoy the glory of power, but now they want to kill those who brought them all this.

Especially the second assistant Zhang Tianlu and Cheng Zhi, who are also cabinet members, these two used to be teachers whom he respected very much, but they also stood completely opposite to him in this matter.

Isn't it good now? Do you have to take all the rights back to you and give them to you?

He was angry, depressed and sad, and in the face of the ministers who were in step with him, he suddenly had the feeling of his father when he was the emperor, the ministers were mistaken, and the ministers were mistaken!

But he is not the same as his father's situation back then, what his father didn't dare to do, he dared to do!

Zhu Cihong stood up and swept over the courtiers in the hall one by one, and then fixed his eyes on Zhang Tianlu, the second assistant of the cabinet.

"I ask you, do you really think that King Qin is guilty and deserves to be punished?" Zhu Cihong stepped down the imperial steps and walked to Zhang Tianlu's calm path.

Zhang Tianlu also became like the huge sea last night, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he had a premonition that something was wrong when Zhu Cihong looked up to the sky and laughed just now.

But he is the main messenger of this operation, what Zhu Cihong said about you, in fact, he is asking, and his colleagues behind him are also waiting for his signal.

But...... What would be the consequences if he really stood up for his opinion?

He didn't know, he really didn't know, Zhu Cihong was no longer the Zhu Cihong of five years ago, not the good student who would listen to everything he said, and he didn't even know what Zhu Cihong really thought now.

"Back to Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Listen to Your Majesty. After Zhang Tianlu said this, his head was almost lowered to the crotch of his pants.

He knew that after saying this, the prestige he had accumulated for many years among the courtiers would be lost, and he would even be ridiculed by his colleagues who had once relied on him, who would ridicule him for being spineless.

Zhang Tianlu is actually very bitter in his heart, thinking that he has been a Jinshi in Wanli for ten years and forty years, and he has stayed in the Hanlin Academy for eight years, from compilation to serving, and then entering the six rotating departments, and it took 20 years to become Zhu Cihong's teacher.

Then it was a long wait, and finally looked forward to the opportunity to enter the court and enter the cabinet, from thrift to luxury, from luxury to thrift, if it was really because of the so-called integrity to ruin his future and the hope of the family, it was the real unbearable weight that he thought was really unbearable.

He compromised, which made Cheng Zhi and other officials of the East Palace faction behind him quite puzzled, but Cheng Zhi thought about it for a while and understood, although he was angry, no one in the hall dared to speak.

Silence, silence for three or four breaths, finally one person raised his head.

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the Zhu family, and for the people of the world, the minister thinks that His Royal Highness the King of Qin must step down from the post of regent and marshal of soldiers and horses, and the minister ...... Death! ”

Li Banghua's old voice resounded throughout the hall, overshadowing Zhang Tianlu, Cheng Zhi and other officials of the East Palace faction, and their heads were lowered.

"Minister...... Death! ”

"Minister...... Death! ”

Shi Bangzhao, the left capital of the Inspectorate, Wang Yuangu, the left servant of the Criminal Department, and Wang Jiayan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, successively bowed down, and at the same time, officials from various ministries, chiefs, Langzhong, Tongzheng Division, and Hanlin Yuan successively bowed down.

In addition to Zhang Tianlu and Cheng Zhi, officials from the East Palace faction also spoke out one after another, which made Zhang Tianlu, Cheng Zhi and others even more embarrassed.

Li Banghua's thoughts are different from Zhang Tianlu, he didn't want Liu Hong to die, as an old minister of the Three Dynasties, he just realized that if the regent Liu Hong gradually continued to hold the power of regent, it would not be a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, the Zhu family, and even the descendants of the Liu family.

He just hoped that Liu Hong would gradually step down from that position and return the regency and military power to the Zhu family and the imperial court, nothing more.

He does not form a party, does not engage in personal gain, is not afraid of power and is not afraid of death, if the stability of the Ming Dynasty needs his blood, he will not hesitate, as it was before, and still is.

"Excellent! You guys are good! After Zhu Cihong got the answer, he walked straight to the dragon chair.

"Liu Qing is the regent of the Ming Dynasty, he has the right to make decisions on internal affairs and foreign affairs on my behalf, and there is no suspicion of overstepping the rules.

As for your advice, I will tell you the answer now, I will not remove Liu Qing from his position as regent and marshal of soldiers and horses. ”

Zhu Cihong didn't expect that he would be able to face the ministers in the palace so calmly, yes, he should have a broad mind for the monarch, but he still didn't want to make any compromises, he didn't want to lose a friend and a brother.

"Your Majesty! Please Your Majesty to pay attention to the society of the country! If Your Majesty insists on doing so, your ...... Please resign! Li Banghua's voice was high-pitched and tragic, he slowly removed the black veil on his head, and solemnly put his hat on the ground.

"Resignation!"

"Resignation!"

……

Most of the courtiers took off the black veil on their heads to show their determination, and Zhang Tianlu also took off his hat for some reason and bowed down on the palace again.

The ministers died, and this scene appeared for the first time in the Taishun Dynasty.

This is a game between the ministers and the emperor, when the Donglin Party was dominant, the vast majority of such scenes were won by the ministers, even if the emperor was tough, he would choose to calm things down.

For Li Banghua, there is a regent, and the country will not be a country, and for Zhang Tianlu, with the regent, the position of first assistant is always delusional.

There have been several scenes in the Chongzhen Dynasty, all of which ended in the victory of the courtiers, Zhang Tianlu turned his head slightly and glanced at Cheng Zhi, and he also saw a desperate gamble in Cheng Zhi's eyes.

The Imperial Palace fell silent again, and for the first time since Zhu Cihong's accession to the throne, the courtiers stood so united on the opposite side of him.

Zhu Cihong's face still couldn't see joy and sorrow, and it could be seen from his frowning brows that he was also making trade-offs and even struggling.

Except for Zhu Cihong, the only person standing in the palace was Han Yu, the first assistant of the cabinet, and he didn't say a word from the beginning to the end of today's events, and everyone understood that he was actually a person in the bureau.

Liu Hongjian was removed from the post of regent and marshal of soldiers and horses, and he was the first to be stepped on by the courtiers.

Somehow, for the first time in ten years of being the fourth official [Apex www.booktxt.xyz], Han Yu, who was full of silver hair, felt so tired.

After ten breaths of silence, Zhu Cihong finally made up his mind, he stood up, put his hands behind his back, and took a deep breath.

"I'm going to play!"
