Outside the Forbidden City, more than a hundred powerful civil and military officials held their heads and chests with their heads raised, and everyone was inspiring with a spirit of justice and a sense of pride in their participation in history.

The hundreds of scholars who came from Yenching University to support the officials were also held high, looking at the more than 100 officials who "pleaded for the people" with respect, wishing they could replace them and participate.

Although Chongzhen urgently issued a martial law order, thousands of people were watching outside the palace, pointing at the civil and military officials and hundreds of scholars and discussing.

In such an atmosphere, Wang Shoulu couldn't help but feel a little awkward. Without anyone's advice, he stood up and shouted loudly: "You guys, this time we must strongly advise Your Majesty to kill Zhang Chaozhong, and ask Your Majesty to issue the "Self-Sincere Edict" to the world, and then return the government to Empress Yi'an!"

Lu Chengyuan was unwilling to let the crowd and stood up and agreed, "Mr. Wang is right! Your Majesty studied too little before ascending the throne. Even if he reopened the sutra after ascending the throne, he often avoided studying on the grounds of the New Year and disrespect for great scholars. If he is so young and does not change things, isn't it too much to manage major national affairs!"

Qian Qianyi couldn't help frowning after hearing this, feeling that Wang Shoulu and Lu Chengyuan were still too radical. Before he saw the emperor, how could he easily express the final purpose of this knocking?

The reason why the Donglin Party was able to organize more than 100 important civil and military officials to come to the palace was because they claimed that the purpose of this hack was to strongly advise Your Majesty to kill Zhang Chaozhong, the eunuch who created the Xuzhou bloody case. However, they did not declare to the civil and military officials that they wanted to force Your Majesty to hand over the government to Queen Yi'an!

Sure enough, Wang Shoulu and Lu Chengyuan's passionate speech had a counterproductive effect, and the civil and military officials were immediately exploded and all of them were talking.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Let Your Majesty return the power to Empress Yi'an? Isn't this forcing the palace?"

"Although Your Majesty values ​​eunuchs and rarely accepts advice, he is still young after all, and even if he makes mistakes, it is understandable. As ministers, we can just correct His Majesty with more axes. But why do you force Your Majesty to the palace whenever you have a disagreement? This is not the way of a minister?"

"Yes, although Your Majesty is wrong first, he has not lost his morality. It would be a bit too much to force the palace!"

When he heard the ministers' discussion, Wang Shoulu, Lu Chengyuan wanted to slap himself in the face, secretly cursing himself for why he talked so much and showed off his limelight?

The civil and military officials have obviously fooled them. As long as the emperor refuses to kill Zhang Chaozhong and give them an explanation to the officials, the officials will definitely have a fierce conflict with the emperor. At that time, as long as they guide a little, they can force the officials to palace the emperor together. Wouldn't that happen naturally?

Now that there has not been a fierce conflict with the emperor, the officials learned that this time the archery was to force the emperor to make an excessive demand that was almost equivalent to abdicating the emperor. Of course, the officials had to hesitate.

Not only did the officials hesitate, but the scholars also began to hesitate. At that time, Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai said it well. The reason why they came to support the officials was to strongly advise Your Majesty to eradicate the eunuch party, but now they have to directly target Your Majesty, which is obviously in conflict with the Confucian education they received, which is the main body of the emperor.

The Donglin Party members couldn't help but curse Wang Shoulu, and Lu Chengyuan was really a teammate of the pigs. However, at this moment, a young eunuch hurried out of the palace gate, bowed to the ministers, and said, "Your Majesty, you all come to the palace to meet you. Please follow the young one to enter the palace."

When all the officials heard this, they looked at each other, not knowing what to do for a moment.

The emperor's move was really surprising. Everyone thought that when the emperor heard that all officials had knocked on the palace, he was furious and would be impatient to leave the palace to confront the officials.

Outside the palace, hundreds of officials supported him and thousands of people watched him, which was a huge advantage in the home court.

But now the emperor announced that all officials had entered the palace to see the emperor, and undoubtedly replaced the officials with one army and snatched the benefits of the home court.

Indeed, Zhu Youjian originally wanted to leave the palace to deal with all the officials, but he led the cabinet ministers to walk a few steps outside the palace and gradually calmed down.

He soon realized that if he left the palace to confront all officials, it would be like football teams in the future who would only fall into passiveness everywhere.

If there are brave people outside the palace who intend to assassinate the king and kill the emperor, then you will not only fall into the enemy's calculations, but may also have life worries.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian openly used his power to become the emperor and immediately ordered a small eunuch to go to Xuan to the palace to meet with the officials.

As a result, the situation immediately reversed, and Zhu Youjian turned around and seized the advantage of the home court.

Although he was unwilling to accept it, the emperor was summoned, and all the officials could only follow him and followed the eunuch and entered the Forbidden City.

Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai looked at each other and followed the officials with their scholars, trying to get into the palace, but when they came to the palace gate, the big inner guards drew out their steel knives and pointed at Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai and others.

A guard leader warned: "You are not appointed by the court, and you must not enter the palace without an imperial edict! Retreat, otherwise you will not be able to recognize your treasure sword!"

Zhang Pu and others had no choice but to snort coldly to show their dissatisfaction and retreated unhappily.

Although the guard leader is only his duty, the scholars felt humiliated and vowed in their hearts that they would pass the imperial examination next year and enter the officialdom to slap the guard leader in the face.

Zhang Pu said loudly: "Students, although we cannot enter the palace, we can also support all officials outside the palace. If Your Majesty refuses to kill the eunuchs, we will kneel in front of the palace to protest!"

Under Zhang Pu's leadership, the scholars were all in love and stayed outside the palace to wait for the results. The onlookers saw that there was no fun to watch. In addition, martial law orders had been issued, so they could only go back to their own houses and find their own mothers.

...

The officials followed the little eunuch into the Forbidden City and came to the magnificent Huangji Hall. From a distance, they saw the emperor sitting high on the dragon throne, looking down at the officials.

Seeing this, all the officials were a little angry. They came to knock on the palace with passion. As the emperor, Zhu Youjian should not be frightened and asked about their demands?

However, Zhu Youjian sat comfortably on the dragon throne, waiting for the officials to pay their respects. This was simply a kind of contempt for the officials.

However, when the officials came to the solemn and solemn place of Huangji Hall, they finally remembered their duty as a minister. Under the leadership of Qian Qianyi, they pushed the golden mountain and turned the jade pillars, and visited Zhu Youjian's grand ceremony, shouting: "I will bow to the emperor, long live my emperor!"

Zhu Youjian was calm and raised his hand slightly and said, "You all don't have to be too polite, just keep your body flat!"

Everyone stood up and found Huang Liji, Shi Fenglai, Sun Chengzong and other cabinet assistants standing in the hall.

Although they are enemies of the eunuch party, they are both Confucian, and Huang Liji and others have higher ranks, so all the officials have to bow to Huang Liji and others first.

After Huang Liji and others returned the greeting, the passionate and passionate officials were already out of their minds under Zhu Youjian's slutty operation and could not raise any motivation.
