Chapter 3 The Son of Heaven Shouldn't Be Too Smart

Zhu Youxiao must severely punish Yang Lian at this time.

There is no other reason.

Once Zhu Youxiao let Yang Lian go easily now, Yang Lian will become even more arrogant.

Yang Lian's more arrogant consequences will lead to a more tragic outcome.

Anyway.

Now, let Yang Lian issue an edict to prison is better than letting Yang Lian be punished for being punished for offending Wei Zhongxian and other eunuchs in the future.

Zhu Youxiao did this not only to prevent the party struggle from intensifying in the future but also to hit the Donglin Party’s arrogance, so that the Donglin Party knew that the emperor had the final say in the Ming Dynasty, not his Donglin Party.

Yang Lian's behavior just now did not take the emperor seriously. Even in his eyes, the emperor seemed to have become a decoration, an object that symbolizes the supreme power, and anyone can touch it.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao punished Yang Lian now with a reasonable and reasonable attitude.

Yang Lian himself was unable to argue at this time because he had indeed grabbed the emperor's hand just now, which was indeed very disrespectful.

But Zuo Guangdou, a censor who is also an official of the Donglin Party, would not want to see Yang Lian, the number one general of the Donglin Party, be sentenced to prison.

Therefore, Zuo Guangdou hurriedly begged for Yang Lian: "Your Majesty! Although Yang Lian lost his etiquette in front of him, he was also a temporary impatient person. It was also to let Your Majesty ascend the throne as soon as possible and let me have a master as soon as possible in the Ming Dynasty. Please ask Your Majesty to give a clear explanation! It is really a harsh punishment for him to issue an edict, and it is not a sympathy for the ministers in charge of their lives. Please think twice!"

Liu Yiying, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, also hurriedly pleaded: "Your Majesty! Zuo Guangdou said so much. Although Yang Lian's move was rude, it was indeed to protect Your Majesty. Please forgive him for his crime!"

Zhu Youxiao didn't speak, just looked at it silently. He wanted to see how many of the ministers at the scene were from the Donglin Party.

For a time, many officials pleaded for Yang Lian.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Fang Congzhe. If Fang Congzhe and others pleaded for Yang Lian, he could let Yang Lian go.

Because Zhu Youxiao knew that Fang Congzhe was not the Donglin Party, if Fang Congzhe and others could plead for Yang Lian, it means that Fang Congzhe and others had a view of the overall situation. They would not be afraid of the Donglin Party because they hated Yang Lian.

Fang Congzhe noticed Zhu Youxiao's eyes, but he chose to escape and hung his eyelids without knowing it.

"Will you dare to pull me today? Will you dare to hold a knife on my neck tomorrow? Yang Lian's behavior, whether it is intentional or not, is contrary to his ministers!"

Zhu Youxiao had to start talking first, and then looked at Yang Lian: "Yang Lian, say yourself, when you were disrespectful to me just now, did you still have the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers in your eyes? Should you be punished yourself!"

Yang Lian pursed his lips and finally gritted his teeth and replied: "Damn it!"

Zhu Youxiao continued to ask: "Does the Jinyiwei official school also think that Yang Lian shouldn't be arrested? Why are you still stunned? She sent Yang Lian to the imperial prison! Didn't you hear it?!"

Issuing a prison sentence?

It has been many years since the Ming Dynasty has been so cruel to civil servants.

Especially for a censor like Yang Lian.

Otherwise, the court would not be in a situation where the censors are in great power now.

Therefore, the officials of the Jinyiwei's official schools obviously did not react.

After Zhu Youxiao asked this, the Jinyiwei official schools came to their senses and took Yang Lian down.

No matter how fierce the court struggle was, the Jinyiwei was always a close minister who obeyed the emperor and could not violate the emperor's orders.

Yang Lian did not resist. He felt frustrated now. How could he end up in such a situation? He obviously wanted to snatch the eldest son from Li Xuanshi to control him and other civil servants, so as to avoid Li Xuanshi taking the emperor to order his ministers, but he was imprisoned in confusion.

Next, Zhu Youxiao’s Imperial Wenhua Hall officially accepted the visits of all the ministers.

However, Yang Lian had no chance to participate.

...

"Mr. Yang was sentenced to prison! Everyone, we must not ignore this matter!"

Donglin Party official Wei Dazhong talked about this to Donglin Party officials such as Zuo Guangdou at this time at the Zhongshu Sheriff Wang Wenyan.

"That's right, we need to submit a memorial to Mr. Yang!"

Zuo Guangdou replied.

Wang Wenyan also nodded and said, "Please mercy is naturally a demand for love. I, Donglin, are all loyal and honest people, how can I sit and see Mr. Yang go to prison? But what Wang didn't expect was that when the son would be so tough today, it was not as unexpected as Wang An said in the past, a cowardly person."

After hearing what Wang Wenyan said, Zuo Guangdou also turned his attention to Zhu Youxiao: "That's true. Today we went to Miyamoto to worry that Li Xuanshi was controlling the emperor, but unexpectedly, the emperor was not controlled by Li Xuanshi. Instead, he first passed on the orthodox emperor to meet Fang Congzhe with the emperor's oral order, and then declared his orthodox position with the will. The ministers did not know how to deal with it for a while, so that Yang Gong was imprisoned and His Majesty was worshipped by the ministers. During the whole process, it seemed that they were under the control of His Majesty."

Wang Wenyan also said: "Not only that, before you broke into the Qianqing Palace and wanted to take away the emperor, according to rumors in the inner court, Wang An, the polite supervisor, wanted to help us take away the emperor and hugged the emperor, but was slapped by the emperor. The emperor also scolded him for being rude. Fang ordered Wang An to come out and proclaimed him to Fang Congzhe."

After listening to Wang Wenyan's words, Zuo Guangdou glanced at Wei Dazhong and said, "In this way, today is not easy! Things in the future are unpredictable!"

"What Mr. Wei said is very true. The emperor should not be too smart or too ruthless. He would let the censors be imprisoned at any time. In the future, the Ming Dynasty would not know whether it was a disaster or a blessing."

Wang Wenyan frowned and started talking.

Zuo Guangdou continued: "First slap the prince of the Silijian, then slap Yang, and also put him in prison. Your Majesty's power is so fast!"

"Anyway, Mr. Yang must be saved. Wei believes that we should immediately submit a memorial to Mr. Yang. Since the emperor is not a foolish monarch, he should know the wishes of Mr. Yang!"

Wei Dazhong stood up as he said.

Zuo Guangdou also stood up: "That's right, but it's a pity that they originally planned to let everyone expel Fang Congzhe from the court first, but unexpectedly, they have to save Mr. Yang first!"

"This may be Fang Congzhe's plan. This person has always been neutral on the surface, but in fact he is very close to Qi Shijiao, Qi Dang. Maybe he secretly instigated Li Xuanshi to deceive the emperor and then use his majesty to get rid of Yang Gong! Although the emperor is young and smart, he is not well-informed in the world. How could he know that Fang Zhui's intentions are far-reaching. We must save Yang Gong this time and let Fang Zhui break his mind to instigate the emperor to harm loyalty and good deeds!"

Wang Wenyan said.

Wei Dazhong nodded: "What Mr. Wang said is reasonable. This matter should not be delayed for a long time. You should submit a memorial immediately!"

"Yes, I'll submit a memorial immediately!"

Zuo Guangdou agreed.

...

On the 6th day of the 9th month of the 48th year of Wanli.

Zhu Youxiao completed the throne ceremony and officially became the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He agreed with his ministers that next year would be the first year of Tianqi, and the first year of Taichang from August of the 48th year of Wanli to January 1 of the first year of Tianqi.

There was no way, Emperor Taichang Zhu Changluo was hanging too fast, and he became emperor for only one month, so he could only take out the period of time that originally belonged to the 48th year of Wanli as the first year of Taichang.

"Your Majesty, the officials and officials have submitted memorials to the ministers, saying that all the emperors of ancient times have benevolence and virtue. Although Yang Gong lost his etiquette in front of him, he was also full of public intention. When the emperor first ascended the throne, he was at the right time to perform benevolent policies, he should forgive his crimes and commend his loyalty."
