The time for a stick of incense is not very long. However, Emperor Hongzhi's psychology has undergone great changes in the slowly burning incense thread.

Seeing that the incense line gradually bottomed out, but the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet had not returned yet to report, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly felt relieved and even sneered.

He turned his head to look at Xiao Jing behind him and said, "I have been suppressing Dongchang for so many years. Have you ever been resentful?"

Xiao Jing hurriedly lay on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty clearly observed that the people of the East Factory have not made any movement in recent years, which is due to the wise and kindness of Your Majesty. What's more, the East Factory has never relaxed. With your Majesty's order, we will definitely give you a sharp knife in your hand!"

"Okay!" These words undoubtedly touched Emperor Hongzhi's ears, and stood up and said to Xiao Jingyan: "Let me see if you are really as you said!"

He then walked down the imperial case and said to Qiu Ju: "Let Mou Bin take the Jinyiwei to Dongshun Gate as well. I also want to see if their ability to play the court stick has been lost!"

Xiao Jing and Qiu Ju immediately received the order, while Emperor Hongzhi took Zhu Houzhao out of the warm cabinet: "Zhaoer, I was indeed blinded before, but I was not a treacherous villain, but those one-sided and taken for granted Dianzhishengxue!"

"You don't have to worry about ascending the throne in the future and being bullied and overshadowed by the court officials. The father will let the dusty divine weapon out of the sheath today and then deliver it to you!"

"Father is mighty and domineering!"

Zhu Houzhao immediately thanked her for her, and the excitement in her eyes could not be concealed: Brother, you are so cruel and shameless... But I like it!

As the emperor stood up, the crowd soon arrived at Zuoshun Gate.

When the eunuch in front of him shouted loudly, Emperor Hongzhi saw a scene that made him furious: the three cabinet ministers were torn to pieces and their hair was disheveled. They were beaten and kicked among the officials, and could only protect the vitals in a mess.

Those polite and polite officials who have always been polite, righteous, polite, wise and trustworthy on weekdays are now like a group of shrews selling vegetables in the alleys, jumping to beat the three Grand Secretary to death.

Among them were aggressive, some were crying, some were beaten with chests and feet... In short, the atmosphere of Zuo Shunmen was so sad and tragic, and they cried all the way. Those who didn't know thought that the Ming Emperor had passed away.

Obviously, after the successive setbacks, these court officials were also filled with anger.

This time, when Zuoshunmen petitions came to the door, they were just thinking that they would become a good man if they failed. Especially when people gathered, they felt that the law would not blame the masses. Amid the curses and cries, they became more and more courageous.

But at this time, the Cabinet Grand Secretary came out.

They thought His Majesty was going to compromise, but unexpectedly, the three Grand Secretary of the Cabinet just tried their best to persuade them to endure this tone and do their duty as a minister.

Of course, these officials broke out completely.

They denounced the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet as accomplice He Jin and the culprit of the chaos of the Ming Dynasty. Then they were punching and kicking... Even because of the chaos and noisy scene, they didn't even hear the prompt "The Emperor Arrives".

Fortunately, the aura that the emperor arrived at was different after all. A sharp-eyed official immediately reacted and quickly fell to the ground. The remaining officials with red eyes also realized that the atmosphere was wrong and quickly reacted.

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi was too lazy to say a word, but his face was as gloomy as ink.

Maybe God also wanted to join in the fun at this moment. In the originally clear sky, dark clouds slowly pressed over, and the sky gradually became dark, and a strong and murderous aura began to scatter...

"Ring the bell and summon all ministers." After the monarch and ministers looked at each other for two breaths, Emperor Hongzhi slowly ordered the people beside him.

When Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing, in order to resist the Mongolian cavalry, he specially cast two large bells on the Duanmen City Tower, both of which were more than one meter away. In every emergency court meeting or accident, he would ring the bell to warn him. Any officials in Beijing, regardless of their rank, must enter the palace immediately and not delay for a moment.

As the words fell, the long and thick bells kept ringing, resounding throughout the entire capital.

After hearing the bell, all the officials' expressions changed drastically.

After all, the bell of Duanmen Tower has never sounded since the Tumu Fort. After reacting, they quickly sorted out their official uniforms and rushed to the palace in a hurry.

At this time, there was wind blowing here in Dongshun Gate, and even there were scattered snow mixed in it, making the world darker.

The Jinyiwei in the flying fish suit and the straight-brown Dongchang man, led by Mou Bin and Xiao Jing, surrounded the officials without any airtightness.

The wind lifted the ends of Emperor Hongzhi's hair, and also brought the clothes of Jinyiwei and Dongchang's monks to make noise. Although the rows of embroidered spring swords were not unsheathed, the eyes of the sword-holder were cold as ice...

Soon the officials in the capital gradually arrived, and Emperor Hongzhi spoke in a calm voice and said, "Who is the leader of this rebellion?"

As soon as this statement came out, the strong wind suddenly became tight!

The word "rebellion" directly sets the will of this time. As a court official, of course, he knows what the consequences will be.

For a moment, these people were silent and no one dared to go forward and speak.

"Why... I dare to commit rebellion, scold me as a fool, beat the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, but I don't have the courage to take responsibility?"

Emperor Hongzhi said with contempt and disdainful sarcastic expression: "I remember that it was you who used to be. Why do foreign races outside the border have nothing to do with scabies, as if you can do it alone? Why can't even stand up today if you have such a small matter today?"

When Ding Yong, the Minister of Rites, heard this, suddenly raised his head and said with grief and anger: "Your Majesty led the hawks and dogs to ring bells and drums, and scolded loyal and righteous ministers. I wonder what the purpose is! Isn't it that the heaven and earth have changed color and the plants and trees are filled with sorrow? If you really have to wait until you make a big mistake, you will still be obsessed with it?"

He Jin, who was hiding in the group of officials to make soy sauce, couldn't help but look confused when he heard this: Why is it so shady, and it's just a matter of things? This brain circuit is so strange...

But then he thought about it and understood again.

That’s right, the saying “resonance of heaven and man” in the Ming Dynasty was still very popular. The emperor is God’s son. Now God has changed his face. Doesn’t it mean that his son has done something wrong?

Sure enough, as soon as Ding Yong finished speaking, the officials immediately became brave again.

One of the old men with gray beard and gray hair followed and spoke like a howling, "Your Majesty... Today we are here to petition for the Ming Dynasty because of our passion and loyalty to protect the country. I beg Your Majesty to obey God's will and not cause the Tumu Fort to re-enact!

After the two spoke one after another, the scene was out of control again.

The officials began to shout loudly again, and even sharp-eyed people saw He Jin and began to curse with anger.

They compared He Jin to Wang Zhen in the Tumu Fort Incident that year, and described himself as Yu Shaobao who saved the Ming Dynasty. Even the three cabinet ministers just now, they did not let go.

After all, this Zuoshun Gate is the holy place of the Ming Dynasty and the place where loyal ministers save the Ming Dynasty.

What's more, the court's laws all agreed to be willing here, and even killing treacherous villains is innocent. How could the emperor be angry and tear the political veil of the fit between the monarch and ministers in front of the court?

But amid their heartbroken crying, Emperor Hongzhi did not say a word of nonsense, but only ordered coldly to Xiao Jing and Mou Bin on the side: "The people who have just spoken are all thirty sticks in the court!"

He said enough, and he was bothered... The various forbearances before had made him see that as long as he took a step back, these officials could turn black and white, and then drowned himself with a bunch of high-sounding principles.

After the words came to the ground, the violent wind stopped immediately!

The officers of the East Factory, who were like wolves and tigers, immediately broke into the officials who were scolding Liantian.

Four people set up officials to control them tightly. The Jinyiwei, who held the court stick, quickly cleaned the site and laid a thick felt cloth. Then the officers of the East Factory carried the usually noble and arrogant officials and pressed them onto the leather felt.

Xiao Jing then ordered loudly: "Put the stick!"

Two rows of celebratory captains immediately paused the court sticks in their hands on the ground, shouting in unison: "Put the stick!"

"The tyrant lord!...You are the shameless tyrant who has deceived the world for fourteen years!" At this moment, Ding Yong, who was held down, suddenly felt hysterical and shouted at Emperor Hongzhi.

Suddenly, Emperor Hongzhi's eyes suddenly shrank, and the only trace of pity in his heart disappeared into the wind and snow.
