Chapter 141: Court Meeting (3)

The Zuodu Censor was so angry that his face turned bad, and the Minister of War Lu also clenched his fists and wanted to beat Huang Daozhou. He knew that it was time for him to come out.

"Your Majesty, I have the following to impeach the young secretary Huang Daozhou with bad intentions, rebelled against the holy grace, and made ill-intentioned plans. I have exonerated the Tartars. Please ask Your Majesty to punish Huang Daozhou for his serious crimes!"

In order to change Zhu Youchao's impression, Zuodu Censor Cao Sicheng said and knelt on the ground.

This situation generally means that the censor would rather risk being killed and impeach the person impeached to death.

The censors in charge of the court's remarks were a little stunned when they saw this, but when they saw that their boss had kneeled, they naturally had to kneel down:

"Please punish Huang Daozhou for his serious crimes!"

"Please punish Huang Daozhou for his serious crimes!"

Seeing this, the six ministers and ministers knelt down. They were all the only ones who were the leader of Zhu Youxiao. Since the censors had already impeached them, they naturally had to express their opinions.

The Imperial College Priest and the officials of the Hanlin Academy also knelt down, but for no reason, Xu Guangqi, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, was also in charge of the Hanlin Academy, and it was a bit strange that the Imperial College Priest Liu Zongzhou also knelt down.

The only ones who are still standing in the court are the six subjects that are supplemented by the new Jinshi.

But at this time, Guan Shaoning, who was already in charge of the official department, knelt down first, and the other knights saw this and knelt down.

Only Shi Kefa stood there straight, which was very annoying.

Qian Qianyi and other cabinet masters naturally knelt on the ground, but at this time he saw Shi Kefa standing straight here, and he felt panicked.

Qian Qianyi thought that Shi Kefa was promoted by himself, and it would be bad if His Majesty vented his anger for this, so he hurriedly ran over and knocked Shi Kefa to the ground: "You little brat, don't you kneel down!"

Shi Kefa was pushed to the ground by Qian Qianyi because he was unable to defend himself. Thinking that Qian Qianyi was his mentor, he had to kneel down.

But he was still a little surprised. He didn't expect that this thing that was almost smooth to prevent His Majesty from leaving the capital was almost the same as before. How could this be opposed by the ministers at this time?

Zhu Youxiao stood up at this time and sighed: "Public opinion cannot be violated!"

...

Huang Daozhou saw that all the ministers in the court impeached him, and he couldn't help but start to doubt his life.

Moreover, what Huang Daozhou did not expect was that these ministers were playing the routines that the Donglin Party played back then, forcing Zhu Youxiao to punish himself through collective coercion.

But this Majesty, who is usually very dictatorial, is very weak at this moment and even says something that cannot be violated by public opinion.

Is this the public opinion not against? There is no ordinary person in the court, okay? There are a group of flattering ministers who only follow you.

What Huang Daozhou even unexpected was that Liu Zongzhou, who had just been summoned to the palace by the court as the Imperial College Priest, was a Qingliu official known for Neo-Confucianism, and was his close friend, and even knelt down.

Not only that, Qian Qianyi, the shameless man, actually pressed Shi Kefa to the ground!

Only shameless old masters like Qian Qianyi can do this, Huang Daozhou was angry and anxious.

"Do you want to be a lonely minister if you become a self-deserving person?" Huang Daozhou also panicked because the script did not follow the scene he imagined, and turned out to be a solo show himself.

"Zhongdaozhou, do you know your guilt?"

Zhu Youxiao now likes to see Huang Daozhou besieged by a group of ministers, and he even feels a little pitiful of him.

In his memory, from Wanli and even traced back to Zhengde, it seems that few ministers have stood on their side to besiege the ministers who were against him.

Nowadays, the scene where the ministers stand on their side is a brutal one.

Huang Daozhou consciously put the black hat on the ground, and his hands couldn't help but tremble. For the first time, he found himself so isolated and helpless. Is it because he was unfaithful and unrighteous in the court, or is it because he was the only one who seeks fame and has no intention of serving the king?

"Xu Guangqi!"

Zhu Youxiao shouted, and Xu Guangqi quickly stood up and said, "I'm here!"

"You are in charge of the Hanlin Academy. Today, Huang Daozhou rebelled against my will and slandered the learning of Confucius and Mencius. The unjust intention of the unofficial minister is obvious. When you wait for the Hanlin Academy to record the actual records, you must spend more writing and ink to record this matter, and engrave the stele in the Hanlin Academy to allow students to observe this person's selfishness in the future."

Zhu Youxiao said that, and ordered Li Mingrui to publish the matter in major newspapers in Beijing, and quickly reported it to the editorial department of Daming Daily, and it was published nationwide.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao ordered officials above the seventh rank in the capital and above the fifth rank in the local area to criticize Huang Daozhou for his bad intentions and for his crimes of life and death, and simultaneously serialized them in major newspapers and magazines.

All the officials knew that Your Majesty was trying to make him show his loyalty. It was not enough to just kneel down and beg Your Majesty to punish Huang Daozhou.

Huang Daozhou also had sweat on his forehead. He thought that His Majesty would dismiss him from his post at most, but he did not expect that His Majesty would make him famous and remain in future generations.

"Xu Xianchun, who was sent to the Jinyiwei, immediately rushed to the Huangdao Zhou family and searched his house. All the collections he wrote were destroyed and his hands were cut off. Such people who were seeking fame and reputation were not worthy of taking over the four treasures of the study and keeping them in future generations, which would only poison them in future generations!"

After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, Huang Daozhou fell to the ground. He understood that His Majesty was going to completely ruin himself and would not let him leave any text to defend himself.

Huang Daozhou, who had always pursued fame in later generations, was afraid and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, I am aware of the crime!"

Huang Daozhou, who was very strong, finally surrendered and began to plead with Zhu Youxiao.

Zhu Youxiao's joy that cannot be expressed in his heart sometimes matters is not whose truth is in his hands, but how many people are there who recognize this truth.

When a person is isolated by a group, he will definitely feel fear, and Huang Daozhou is now.

"Put it down!"

Politics is cruel, and Zhu Youxiao did not intend to give up. After waved his hand, the two Jinyiwei came in and dragged Huang Daozhou down.

"His Majesty!"

Huang Daozhou's shouts still echo in the main hall of Qianqing Palace, and none of the court officials in the main hall pleaded for him. Everyone knows that whoever pleaded for him at this time is seeking death.

Since the court officials supported him so much, Zhu Youxiao naturally could not always be so cold and rude, so he smiled:

"My dear friends, please stand up and continue to discuss matters. However, I have to say first. When the important officials in the court speak, no one can interrupt at will, including me. If the major affairs of the court are delayed, I will definitely forgive you!"

Zhu Youxiao's words were obviously aimed at these important officials, meaning that the high officials should speak, so the subordinates should not interrupt, and the important officials hurriedly bowed: "Abide by Your Majesty's will!"

Although Liu Zongzhou, Shi Kefa and others were unhappy, they also knew that they could only be listeners in the future. Perhaps only when they became the six ministers and nine ministers could they speak in the court at will.
