Chapter 5 Making a Big Trouble in the Golden Throne Hall (1)
The next day, Zhu Cheng participated in the morning dynasty for the first time. Speaking of the morning dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, the procedures were complicated and formal, and not only the ministers were annoyed, but even the emperors were also annoyed. Therefore, since the Ming Shenzong ascended the throne, he changed to attend court on 3, 6, and 9 every month. At every court meeting, ministers must arrive at the palace gate at Yin hour (now 3 am). When the drum sounded, they heard the drum sounds, entered the palace gate, passed the Jinshui Bridge in turn, and formed a team in the square in front of the hall. Officials of fourth rank or above entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony to discuss the country with the emperor, and the rest of the officials could only wait outside.
Zhu Cheng lives in the palace these days and does not need to get up too early, but the child is not sleepy and is still drowsy in the morning. After the mountain shouts, he leans beside a dragon pillar and falls asleep bit by bit. A hundred households are sixth-rank military officers, and they cannot enter the Palace of Supreme Harmony to discuss matters. However, on the one hand, the Jinyiwei is the emperor's personal army and has the responsibility to protect the safety of the imperial city. On the other hand, today we are discussing the punishment for Zhu Cheng, so we let him enter the palace out of order.
After a polite memorial, a censor suddenly attacked: "Long live the memorial, I will impeach Zhu Cheng today for committing the crime of losing etiquette before the king."
Emperor Zhu Youxiao of the Apocalypse asked: "What's wrong with Zhu Cheng today?"
The censor said: "Today, Long Live En is allowed to enter Zhu Cheng to listen to the matter. He did not want to repay the favor of his wife, so he fell asleep on the spot. If he did not punish him, how could he remain face and how could he remain face in the court?"
When the censor mentioned his name, Zhu Cheng woke up cleverly. However, he didn't understand what was going on at that time, so he didn't interrupt and stood quietly aside and listened quietly.
As soon as the Censor's voice came to the ground, Zhu Cheng immediately fell to the ground and said, "Long live, I didn't doze off."
The censor's fingers were almost at Zhu Cheng's nose: "You said you were not sleeping. Your eyes were closed just now, and you still dared to lie."
Zhu Cheng raised his hand up, grabbed the censor's finger and twisted it. With a "knock", the censor's finger was twisted off by him. Although Zhu Cheng was a child, he trained with Zhu Youjian and more than a hundred Jinyiwei, and his strength was greater than that of ordinary children.
The censor knew that this was the Palace of Supreme Harmony and could not scream, otherwise the charge of Jun Qian's failure to qualify would fall on his head. He endured the severe pain and said nothing, and beads of sweat as big as beans slid down his forehead one by one.
The hall was very quiet. The broken bone sound was almost heard by everyone. Everyone felt a sense of fear. Zhu Cheng was really fierce. In a solemn and solemn place like the Grand Palace, he actually beat him as soon as he wanted. Fortunately, he didn't go forward to impeach him. Otherwise, even if Zhu Cheng was punished for his crime, he would not be able to return.
Zhu Cheng pointed to the censor and shouted angrily: "Where is this? The emperor's decision is made. When is it your turn to ask questions? Don't you know the duty of your ministers? Long live your words and you can only speak. Long live without letting you speak, you can only shut up."
Zhu Youxiao was so happy. The censor who had broken fingers kept talking in the Golden Palace every day, like a big-headed fly, but every sentence was based on reason and courtesy, making you still not angry. Today, when Zhu Cheng treated him like this, he was so angry.
The ministers did not dare to ask for trouble for Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Cheng, and stared at the chief assistant Fang Congzhe, hoping that he would stand up.
Fang Congzhe was the chief minister of the cabinet and the head of all officials. Of course, he could not be a turtle with his head at this time, so he had to go out of the squad and kneel down and preached: "Long live, although Zhu Cheng is young, he is also a sixth-rank official. If he is beaten up and injured by the censor, he may be hurt by Tianhe."
Zhu Youxiao asked in a pretentious manner: "Zhu Cheng, what explanation do you have for this matter?"
Zhu Cheng said: "Long live, I was angry just now that this censor did not follow the way of being a minister, and he dared to steal the style of the emperor. He pointed his finger at Wei Chen's nose. I blocked it with my hand, but I knew that the censor's finger was even crisper than noodles, and it was broken. I was a rough man and had no sense in his hands. I was willing to pay him a penny of medical expenses."
Fang Congzhe said in his heart: "Look, you all say that Zhu Cheng is reckless in doing things and does not care about consequences. In fact, he is very scheming and does nothing. You say that he is the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty, and I think he is the most wonderful person in the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Well, there are only three people pointing to your nose, one is Emperor Shenzong Xian, the other is Emperor Guangzong Zhen, and the other is me. It is really a big deal to point to your nose. However, although you are young, you are kind-hearted and willing to pay money to reconcile with him. I think the censor should be very happy."
The censor's nose was crooked, and he only paid one cent for money when his fingers broke, which was not enough for the doctor's travel expenses. However, Zhu Youxiao said that the three people who clicked Zhu Cheng's nose were all emperors. It seemed that he did not have the capital to compete with Zhu Cheng in this matter, so he had to laugh and express his acceptance. However, the expression on his face was colorful: grinning on one side, it hurts; while crying, it was angry; while the corners of his mouth were upturned, it was pretending. It made people feel so strange that the censor could actually do such a complicated expression.
Fang Congzhe didn't want to pursue this matter at first. Seeing that the parties involved retreated, he stopped bothering him and returned to the shift to stand.
Another censor quit and was bullied like this. He would lose all face in the future. How could he have the nerve to make money under the name of impeachment?
He knelt down after he left shift and started to speak, "Long live, I haven't checked whether Zhu Cheng was dozing off yet."
Zhu Youxiao had long seen Zhu Cheng sleepy, so he didn't know that he was dozing off. He wanted to cover it up by cutting his finger, but the minister refused to give in and asked helplessly: "Zhu Cheng, have you dozed off?"
Zhu Cheng replied firmly: "No, absolutely no."
Zhu Youxiao laughed and said, "Guocheng is the Yisun that Emperor Shenzong Xian likes. How could he do such a shameless thing? Okay, let's just let this thing go."
The censor knelt on the ground and refused to get up, saying, "I beg your Majesty to ask me to ask Zhu Baihu a few questions."
Zhu Youxiao had no choice but to agree.
The censor stood up and was about to point his finger at Zhu Cheng's nose, but he caught a glimpse of the Censor's broken finger, so he had to suppress the desire to stretch his finger, and said, "You said you didn't sleep just now. Did you close your eyes when you were in the court meeting?"
Zhu Cheng admitted frankly: "Yes, I did close my eyes."
The Censor was about to speak, but Zhu Cheng stretched out his index finger on his right hand and shook it, saying, "It is a bad habit to interrupt others' words. There is a reason for me to close my eyes, because His Majesty the Emperor is the most handsome guy in the Ming Dynasty, and the Emperor's younger brother Zhu Youjian is the second handsome guy in the Ming Dynasty. I closed my eyes to figure out the holy face. Why is he so handsome?"
Zhu Youxiao knew that Zhu Cheng was talking nonsense, but it felt quite pleasant to be flattered in person.
