Chapter 195: The Paradoxical Golden Palace

Yang Suxiu's sudden departure surprised many people, and made many people look nervous and feel uneasy.

Whenever there is a major event in the dynasty, it often starts first, and the charge is always censors. Now the supervisors of the Censorate appear one after another, and many people have a premonition of the bad.

Yang Suxiu's words were directed at the prime minister Huang Liji, and he was quite rude.

Huang Liji had a thin face and looked at Yang Suxiu with a blank expression, and said lightly: "Isn't what I said clearly enough?"

Yang Suxiu sneered and said, "Why did Yuan Fu, why did Liaodong win? Wei's eunuchs will be the first contribution? The internal supervisor has interfered in major affairs in the border state? Do you want to be the traitor king? If Wei's eunuchs have made more achievements and are above 9,900 years old, how should he be rewarded?"

Huang Liji looked at Yang Suxiu, glanced at Li Guopu, the secretary standing not far away, and said indifferently: "The court has made a statement about his merits. If you don't understand anything, you can ask the Ministry of War. The eunuch Wei has never left the palace and His Majesty has not personally led the army. How can Wang Zhen say it? If eunuch Wei has other achievements, how can he reward him? If the eunuch Wei has agreed to win him, why should you worry about it? He criticizes the ministers and loses his duty."

Cheng Shangjie seemed not to have heard their conversation, but still looked at Tianqi and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the ancestors and the country are coming up again, billions of people are under you, and the treacherous will not be eliminated, and the country will not be peaceful. Please drop the anger of thunder, and make arbitrary decision, kill the evil spirits, and give me a bright world of Ming Dynasty!"

Cheng Shangjie was aggressive and kept chasing Tianqi.

The adults in the court did not interrupt, and they all realized that things were unusual today, not what they expected.

In the court, no one has forced the emperor like this for a long time, and it was for Wei Zhongxian who was at the peak of his life!

Some people seemed to suddenly notice it and looked at Li Guopu and others with faint eyes.

Logically speaking, these people are not qualified to attend court, but today they are here!

Why?

They can't figure it out, and they dare not talk too much.

Cheng Shangjie raised his hand and looked directly at the Apocalypse, as if the Apocalypse would never give up if he didn't answer.

The court is indeed different from before, but today, it is too quiet.

Zhou Zheng stood in the corner, watching the scenes in the court, and had countless thoughts turning around in his heart, holding on to his patience, waiting quietly.

Apocalypse sat upright on the dragon throne, unable to see his expression clearly, and did not speak.

There was nothing unusual on Huang Liji's face. He looked at Wei Zhongxian, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling, and said again: "Come on, drive Cheng Shangjie, Yang Suxiu out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, eight Jinyiwei rushed in and headed straight for Yang Suxiu and Cheng Shangjie.

Cheng Shangjie was angry and shouted in a deep voice to Tianqi: "Your Majesty, Liu Keming's lessons from the past must be guarded!"

Liu Keming was a eunuch during the reign of Emperor Jingzong of the Tang Dynasty. He confused the harem and poisoned Emperor Jingzong of Tang to death, trying to become emperor.

This sentence is heartbreaking!

Wei Zhongxian, who was kneeling, pretending to tremble, disappeared immediately, turned to look at Cheng Shangjie, his eyes cold.

When Yang Suxiu saw the Jinyiwei rushing over, he said with a sneer: "Since ancient times, evil people have never had a good end! Even if we live and die today, Wei Zhongxian and eunuchs, you still cannot escape. You are destined to die without a burial place, and you have no stinking for thousands of years!"

The Jinyi Captain rushed in, held the two of them directly, and was about to drag them out.

"Slow down!"

At this time, suddenly someone in front of me drank.

Everyone looked up and found that they were the new left censor of the Censorate, Cao Sicheng!

Cao Sicheng stopped the Jinyi Captain's move to drag people down, looked at Huang Liji, and said, "Yuan Fu, there must be a reason for rushing to the people of my Censorate, right?"

Cao Sicheng stood up and pointed his finger at Huang Liji. The people in the hall were stunned and could not turn around.

It is true that Yang Suxiu was from the Censorate, but these two people were obviously going to Wei Zhongxian. Cao Sicheng was promoted by Wei Zhongxian. What was he doing this?

The eyes of the people in the hall turned on Cao Sicheng and Huang Liji, then looked at Wei Zhongxian who was still kneeling there, and then moved to Tianqi again.

They were puzzled, and they seemed to have knots in their minds, and they didn't understand what was going on!

Zhou Zheng blinked, with the same doubt.

Cao Sicheng had white teeth and thick lips, giving people the feeling of a gentle elder. He stood up and blocked Cheng Shangjie and Yang Suxiu, looking at Huang Liji not far away in front of him.

There was a vague confrontation between the two.

Huang Liji did not expect that Cao Sicheng, who had always been like cotton, would stand up at this time. He frowned unconsciously and then said, "Mr. Cao, are you going to ruin the rules and regulations of the court?"

Cao Sicheng smiled and said, "Yuan Fu misunderstood. The lower official just felt that it would be inevitable that he would be dissatisfied with him and would easily cause controversy. Some words would be better to explain clearly."

What are the words of ‘some words’? Don’t you know the three words from Cheng Shangjie?

Is Cao Sicheng going to rebel against the eunuch party and turn against Wei Zhongxian and break up?

The court was terrifyingly quiet, and some people even trembled all over and looked scared.

Hu Qingzheng stood in front of Zhou Zheng, quietly wiped the cold sweat, his mouth and tongue were dry, and he didn't dare to breathe.

Zhou Zheng looked as usual, and he thought in his heart that the muddy water was getting more and more muddy.

Cao Sicheng was an eunuch party. Wei Zhongxian was promoted to the position of left censor of the Censorate of the Censorate. At this time, he jumped out to refute Huang Liji, which was simply to put Wei Zhongxian to death!

The purpose behind him is thought-provoking and I dare not think about it!

Apocalypse sat upright, and he hadn't moved much since he sat down.

Everyone else held their breath and stared at Huang Liji, wanting to see his reaction.

Huang Liji's thin face still had no expression on his face, and his eyes were deep. For a while, he said lightly: "As the chief minister, I am of course qualified to manage the rules and regulations of the court. This matter ends here. Let's discuss matters such as Liaodong."

Cao Sicheng smiled and said, "What the sir is saying."

After saying that, he seemed to have done nothing, and he retreated with a dull look.

Cao Sicheng retreated, and the Jinyi Captains quickly withdrew from the Golden Palace. Cheng Shangjie and Yang Suxiu also retreated to his original position.

Zhou Zheng looked at Cheng Shangjie beside him, his expression was a little stiff. Is this the end?

Cheng Shangjie had no expression on his face, closed his eyes slightly, and was sleeping as if he had not sat down just now.

Yang Suxiu, not far away, looked at Wei Zhongxian, who was still kneeling above the Dan Pai.

Zhou Zheng's heart moved slightly and suddenly looked at Li Guopu and others who had not spoken.

‘What are they here today?’

"Yeah." Suddenly, Apocalypse said this.

Zhou Zheng looked up at the Apocalypse. Today's Apocalypse seemed a bit unusual.

He looked at Wei Zhongxian who had been kneeling again. Tianqi had no intention of getting him up, as if he had forgotten that he was still kneeling.

The apocalypse fell with a 'Yeah', and the hall was as quiet as usual, and there was no other sound at all.

What happened today is so strange. Someone jumped out to impeach Wei Zhongxian and passed by so peacefully. There were too many eunuchs in the court, and they were in a panic at this moment and couldn't think clearly. How dare they speak.

Those who are not eunuchs are even more afraid. Today’s court discussion is too paradoxical!

Tianqi waited for a while, and saw that no one was talking, so he looked up and searched the hall for a while, and suddenly said, "Zhou Qing, what do you think about the matter in Liaodong?"

Zhou Zheng saw the eyes of Tianqi, but hesitated to call his name directly. He hesitated for a moment and raised his hand to Tianqi and said loudly: "I have a report from the censor Zhou Zhengyun."

The adults in the court knew that Zhou Zheng was a troublesome figure. When Tianqi pointed his name, he frowned and turned his head to look at Zhou Zheng.

Apocalypse said without any turbulence, "Say."

Zhou Zhengdao: "I heard that the court intends to sack the other eight towns outside Shanhaiwei, but I dare not agree. The important towns on the nine borders are crucial to our Ming Dynasty, and they are the place of military preparatory. If the eight towns are sacked, our Ming Dynasty's military preparatory will not be abolished, but completely self-destructed. This is a foolish and incompetent act. Please give your majesty a clear guide."

Tianqi waited for a while and said, "Do you all the beloved ministers have different opinions?"

Zhou Yingqiu, who was standing at the position of Minister of Works, looked indifferent and looked irritable, still had to stand up and say, "Your Majesty, I object to the words of Zhou Jingshi."

Zhou Yingqiu didn't want to stand up, even if Zhou Zheng openly opposed him. Today's court was too weird, which made him panic and instinctively wanted to avoid it.

But he had to stand up and Tianqi pointed Zhou Zheng's name. If he didn't respond, it would be even more difficult to predict later.

Tianqi looked at Zhou Yingqiu without saying anything, as if he was waiting for Zhou Yingqiu to start the song.

Zhou Yingqiu was silent for a moment, and panicked patiently, saying: "Your Majesty, the important towns on the nine sides, including military households, have a population of nearly one million. In the past twenty years, there have been no foreign barbarians who have been involved in the pass. The money and food spent on the pass every year is more than one million. If the excess eight towns are cut off, the money and food saved every year can do too much, please ask Your Majesty to judge."

Zhou Zheng immediately raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, if military pay is said to be a waste, what else is there in the world that is not a waste? The army is the cornerstone of our Ming Dynasty. If the army is to be removed, it will be a shaking country and the country. It is absolutely impossible to do. Please issue an order to refute it and eliminate such absurd remarks!"

Zhou Yingqiu took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, Zhou Jingshi is young and energetic, and he is young and has a political affairs. His words are bound to be biased. I suggest that the Ministry of War will discuss in detail and then the court will decide."

This is also the regular step for the court to deal with matters now. First, there are six ministries and other decisions, and then the final decision is made on the court's discussion.

If it is really discussed in detail by the Ministry of War, it will probably be as Zhou Yingqiu wished.

Zhou Zheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice again: "Your Majesty, if you cut off the eight towns, it is equivalent to abandoning the Great Wall. This is an ominous sign!"

‘Ominous sign’ is an euphemistic word, in other words, it is a sign of the demise of the country.

As soon as Zhou Zheng finished speaking, he didn't know how many stern gazes he had.

A sneer flashed in Zhou Yingqiu's eyes, and he held the scepter and said, "Your Majesty, there is no use to argue about this, I would like to ask the sage to judge."

Zhou Zheng's expression was dark and according to Tianqi's temperament, this matter would probably be left to the Ministry of War for details.

Zhou Zheng was about to speak, but suddenly another person stood up in front of him and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I oppose the abolition of the Eight Towns of the Great Wall."

Zhou Zhengben was isolated and helpless. He was a little surprised when he heard this voice. He looked up and found that he was Cao Yubian, the right censor of the Censorate.

This person should be a eunuch.

However, why did the eunuch party stand up to support Zhou Zheng? Even if Zhou Zheng is his subordinate!

Things today are becoming more and more unpredictable.
