"Hahahaha! Very good! You guys are really good!" Zhu Cixuan suddenly sat on the dragon throne and laughed.

Now he felt mixed feelings. The one who was kneeling in front of him was the important ministers he relied on to death. The one they wanted to kill was the brother who had turned the tide of the Ming Dynasty.

But what was his fault?

When his father was still alive, Zhu Cilang knew that these burdens were not what Liu Hongjian wanted, but were forced by his father. Over the past few years, he has also followed suit. This is why the Ming Dynasty revival was achieved and the ministers kneeling in front of him were safely enjoying the welfare of peace.

They took the salary of the court and enjoyed the glory brought by power, but now they wanted to kill those who brought them all.

Especially the second assistant Zhang Tianlu and Cheng Zhi, who is also a member of the cabinet, were once teachers he respected very much, but they were completely opposite him in this matter.

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

He was angry, suppressed and sad. Facing the ministers who were in a consistent manner, he suddenly felt the emotion of his father when he was, that all the ministers were wronged and that all the ministers were wronged!

But his situation was different from his father back then. He dared to do what his father didn’t dare to do!

Zhu Cixuan stood up and swept over the court officials in the hall one by one, and then stopped his eyes on Zhang Tianlu, the second assistant to the cabinet.

"I ask you, do you really think that the King of Qin is guilty, should he be punished?" Zhu Cilan stepped down the imperial stairs and walked to Zhang Tianlu and said calmly.

At this time, Zhang Tianlu became like the huge sea last night, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. When Zhu Cilang laughed to the sky just now, he had a premonition that something was wrong.

But he is the main messenger of this operation. What Zhu Cilang said is actually asking him, and his colleagues behind him are also waiting for his signal.

But...if he really insists on his opinion, what would be the consequences?

He didn't know, he really didn't know that Zhu Cilang was no longer Zhu Cilang five years ago, nor was he the good student who could listen to whatever Zhu Cilang said. He didn't even know Zhu Cilang's true thoughts now.

"Go back to Your Majesty, I... I listen to Your Majesty." After Zhang Tianlu said this, his head was almost down to his crotch.

He knew that after saying this, he would lose all his prestige that he had accumulated in court officials for many years, and would even be ridiculed by his colleagues who once relied on him for being unscrupulous.

Zhang Tianlu was actually very distressed. He thought that he passed the Jinshi in the 40th year of Wanli for ten years and stayed in the Hanlin Academy for eight years. From compilation to attending the lecture, he joined the six departments and took 20 years to become Zhu Cixuan's teacher.

Then there was a long wait, and finally he finally looked forward to the opportunity to enter the court and the cabinet. It was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it was difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. If his future and family hope were really ruined because of the so-called integrity, it would be the real unbearable weight he thought.

He compromised, which made Cheng Zhi and other officials in the East Palace sect behind him quite puzzled. However, Cheng Zhi thought for a moment and understood that although he was indignant, no one in the hall dared to speak.

Silence, three or four breaths of silence, finally someone raised his head.

"Your Majesty, for the Ming Dynasty, for the Zhu family, for the people of the world, I believe that His Highness, the King of Qin, must step down as the regent and the marshal of the army, I... I will give advice to you!"

Li Banghua's old voice resounded throughout the hall, making Zhang Tianlu, Cheng Zhi and other officials in the Eastern Palace sect pale, and their heads lowered.

"I... I'm sorry!"

"I... I'm sorry!"

Shi Bangzhao, the left censor of the Inspectorate, Wang Yuangu, the left minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Wang Jiayan, the Minister of Works, successively bowed down. At the same time, officials from various departments, chief officials, doctors, Tongzhengsi, Hanlin Academy, etc. successively bowed down.

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

Li Banghua's idea was different from Zhang Tianlu. He did not want Liu Hongjian to die. As an old minister of the three dynasties, he just realized that if the Regent Liu Hongjian continued to take charge of the 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 Hongjian would step down from that position and return the regent and military power to the Zhu family and the court, that's all.

He did not form cliques, did not engage in personal gain, did not fear power, and even death. If the stability of the Ming Dynasty required his blood, he would not hesitate. It was like this before, but it was still now.

"Very good! You guys are very good!" After Zhu Cixuan got the answer, he walked straight to the dragon throne.

"Liu Qing is the regent of the Ming Dynasty. He has the power to do internal affairs and diplomatic decision-making power on behalf of me, and there is no suspicion of being beyond the rules. Expedition to Rakshasa is my intention, and Europa's private soldiers are my intention, and it has nothing to do with the regent.

As for your advice, I will tell you the answer now. I will not relieve Liu Qing of the position of regent and military marshal."

Zhu Cilang did not expect that he could face the ministers in the hall so calmly. Yes, the king should have a broad mind, but he still did not want to make any compromises. He did not want to lose a friend or a brother.

"Your Majesty! Please put the country and the country first! If Your Majesty insists on doing this, I... resign!" Li Banghua's voice was loud and tragic. He slowly removed the black gauze from his head and solemnly placed the hat on the ground.

"Resign!"

"Resign!"

...

Most of the court officials took off the black gauze from their heads to show their determination. Zhang Tianlu took off his hat and fell to the palace for some reason.

This was the first time that the ministers had given me a warning in the Taishun Dynasty.

This is a game between ministers and emperors. When the Donglin Party was dominant, most of such scenes were victory for ministers. Even if the emperor was tough, he would choose to calm down the situation.

For Li Banghua, if the regent is there, the country is not. For Zhang Tianlu, if the regent is there, the position of chief minister is always a delusion.

There have been several scenes in the Chongzhen Dynasty, all of which ended with the victory of the court officials. Zhang Tianlu turned his head slightly and looked at Cheng Zhi. He also saw a desperate bet in Cheng Zhi's eyes.

The Huangji Palace fell silent again. Since Zhu Cilang ascended the throne, the court officials stood in his opposition for the first time in unity.

Zhu Cilang's face still couldn't see any joys and sorrows. From his frowning brow, it can be seen that he was also weighing and even struggling.

Apart from Zhu Cilang, the only person standing in the palace was Han Yu, the chief minister of the cabinet. He didn't say a word from beginning to end today. Everyone understood that he was actually a person in the game.

If Liu Hongjian was removed from the position of regent and marshal of military officials, he would be the first person to be trampled by court officials.

Somehow, Han Yu, who had been in office for 40 years, felt so tired for the first time after being a silver-haired man.

After ten breaths of silence, Zhu Cilang finally made up his mind. He stood up and put his hands behind him, and took a deep breath.

"I, please report!"
