The king is responsible for the daylight and for observing the earth. He offers sacrifices to the sky in the round hills in the southern suburbs and to the earth in the square marshes in the northern suburbs. Therefore, he follows the position of yin and yang.

Yuanqiu in the southern suburbs has been the place where emperors prayed for rain, harvest, and made accusations since ancient times.

The so-called confession simply means that the emperor blames himself to heaven.

Today, in Yuanqiu, the southern suburbs, we have encountered for the first time the expression "taking responsibility on behalf of ministers" - the star in the sky portends sin, and it is not me who foretells sin, but the treacherous ministers and traitors.

At this time, when the officials heard the emperor's words, they almost jumped up in shock.

I thought that the emperor was making concessions for the sake of the government today, but who knew that he would become so arrogant and arrogant!

How is this a sacrifice to heaven? It is clearly a political mutiny!

Recently, there have been many officials who have been disobedient to the emperor, such as Shen Shenxiao, Ai Mu and others who caused a lot of commotion. They all showed horror on their faces and frequently exchanged glances.

However, the assistant ministers Ma Ziqiang, Shen Shixing, the Imperial Procuratorate Wen Chun and other close ministers of the emperor stood with their hands tied and expressionless.

There was only a group of young ministers, doctors, and principals who were totally unaware of the situation, and they were in a mess, at a loss.

The respectful ones among them, almost as a conditioned reflex, immediately knelt down and apologized: "I am guilty!"

Lu Guangzu, who was originally lost in thought about the emperor's words, saw someone bowing down and immediately came back to his senses.

He snorted coldly and looked around at the courtiers who were pleading guilty: "Your Majesty said 'this kind', which means 'that generation', and you are so eager to plead guilty..."

"Is this what Your Majesty calls a minister without a king and a people?"

After this reminder, the courtiers who had just knelt down to apologize suddenly realized that they did not know whether they should continue to bow down or get up in embarrassment.

Just at this moment.

There was a commotion at the end of the train.

At some point, Yushi Liu Tai had already taken off his crown and hat, held it in his hands, and walked up from the end of the shift with his head held high.

Everyone paid attention.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Tai walked to the front, raised his head and said: "Your Majesty said that there are many crimes in the world, so as to bring peace to heaven. Such great words will make those who hear them cry."

"However, His Majesty said that Yuan Fu was a loyal minister, but I thought otherwise."

"Of the rebellious ministers and traitors, Zhang Juzheng, the chief assistant, should be the most important!"

"Nothing but the omens of the stars can be given!"

Seeing this Zhang Juzheng student come to the fore, the officials couldn't help but understand.

The focus of today's debate has never been about whose crime is predicted by the star in the sky - Dong Zhongshu's tactics were used by the officials in the court, but they knew it better than anyone else.

Therefore, after the emperor insulted the courtiers, no one argued with him about what the comet was as an omen, but immediately retaliated at the key points.

The key lies only in the New Deal!

Zhang Juzheng is in his mourning period, which is the weak point of the current New Deal.

Even though the emperor has a tough attitude at the moment, he looks like he wants to stand up for the New Deal.

But as long as Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister who has been in power for eight years, is gone, whoever replaces him will be greatly affected.

In this case, if not Zhang Juzheng, who else could be the rebellious official and traitor of the star sign that day?

Sure enough, after Liu Tai launched an attack, the emperor also stopped boasting.

Zhu Yijun made no secret of his disgust towards Liu Tai: "You just slander your teacher like this?"

Liu Tai had already prepared what he said: "Your Majesty, I am first the censor of the Ming Dynasty and your Majesty's minister, and then I can talk about teachers and students."

Zhu Yijun sneered: "Then Liu Yushi, please tell me what kind of traitor you, teacher, are."

Liu Tai was happy and undaunted, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, please give me a clear warning!"

"When the late emperor passed away, he was in charge of the throne and asked for help. Since he became the first assistant, he has been intimidating himself and has no court. He created the test method to threaten his colleagues. Not long after he assisted the government, he became rich and powerful in the whole Chu. He rose to the rank of the first emperor. Jiangling cost up to 100,000 yuan to prepare palace bans; there are thousands of concubines to serve as emperors and equal to the king."

"Isn't this the traitorous traitor?"

As soon as these words were spoken, several people immediately echoed them.

Thinking deeply about filial piety, Aimu came out in unison and said loudly: "Your Majesty."

"After Yuan Fu lost his father, he has been lingering in the capital and refused to return to his hometown. Then suddenly there were strange phenomena in the sky, and the stars changed terribly."

"This sign of loyalty and betrayal is self-evident!"

"Everything must make people's hearts feel at ease, first obey the will of heaven, and then the changes of heaven can be eliminated."

"Your Majesty, please think again!"

Zou Yuanbiao followed closely: "Your Majesty, Zhang Juzheng is greedy for power, disregards human ethics, and violates the harmony of nature. Please respond to the changes in nature and obey the people's will!"

No matter how much the emperor tries to use his words, he still has to pass the test of human ethics.

This is Shilin’s long-lasting reputation!

Zhang Juzheng, the chief minister of the cabinet who presided over the new law, must go!

Lu Guangzu, Liu Tai, Shen Shenxiao, Ai Mu, Zou Yuanbiao...

Zhu Yijun saw these people popping up one after another in the blink of an eye, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether he was sad or happy.

He stared at Liu Tai, who was the first to show up, and spoke slowly: "What Liu Yushi said is that Yuan Fu was rich and powerful, and he instituted palace bans and had thousands of concubines. Is there any evidence?"

Liu Tai was about to speak.

Zhao Jin on the side suddenly came out: "Your Majesty, there is no need for proof when the censor hears something."

When Liu Tai saw someone speaking for him, he stopped saying anything and just saluted the emperor calmly to show his sincerity.

Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhao Jin and came again.

He passed Zhao Jin, his eyes fell on Liu Tai again, and said seriously: "In this case, why doesn't Liu Qing become an official?"

Liu Tai was startled, thinking that the emperor was going to depose him, and was speechless.

Zhao Jin of the Ministry of Rites couldn't help but remonstrated: "Your Majesty, there has never been any rumor that the imperial censor was dismissed by the imperial court!"

Chen Yan, a member of the staff, also stepped forward and advised: "Your Majesty, think twice."

Zhu Yijun heard this and shook his head: "It's not that I want to depose him, but that Liu Yushi should ask himself to serve."

As soon as these words came out, Liu Tai was stunned.

Zhao Jin and Chen Yan even had their words stuck in their chests.

Zhu Yijun did not hesitate to explain. He looked at Liu Tai seriously: "Didn't Liu Yushi say that he was first the Yushi of the Ming Dynasty and then a disciple of Yuan Fu?"

"Now Liu Qing, as the censor, has fulfilled his duty of hearing about the affairs."

"So... clearing the teacher's grievances, isn't it what you, a student, should do?"

"If you truly care about human ethics and are not talking about duplicity, then you should avoid suspicion and become an official and rush to Jiangling to find out the truth."

"In this way, we not only fulfilled the role of monarch and minister, but also fulfilled the relationship between teacher and student. Regardless of whether he will be revived in the future, and whether Yuan Fu is pure or dirty, Yu Qing will be a good story that will be passed down to future generations."

Zhu Yijun paused, then his tone turned cold: "Or is it that the Code of Human Ethics is always just a chamber pot for Liu Yushi's strict discipline?"

As soon as the words came out, Liu Tai opened his mouth, the words went around in his mouth, and then he swallowed them alive.

He looked as if he was caught off guard and hesitated to speak.

Liu Tai turned his head slightly and looked at Zhao Jin and Chen Yan.

It's a pity, but I can only look helpless.

Seeing this response, Liu Tai, who had held his head high just now, lost his momentum.

Lu Guangzu watched the whole process with a cold eye, feeling once again in his heart that the emperor really deserved to say that he was wise enough to refuse remonstrance.

For this reason, Liu Tai could not have chosen a second path.

Not only that, if Liu Tai couldn't find any palace in Jiangling, then he might have to wear the hat of "ignoring human ethics" that he knocked on Zhang Juzheng!

Look at the literary leader on the stage writing vigorously, I am afraid his reputation will be passed down through the ages.

It’s really heartbreaking!

Liu Tai, who faced this matter head-on, was stunned on the spot and found himself in a dilemma.

After murmuring for a long time, he finally knelt down with difficulty, as if his spine had been broken, and said in a weak voice: "I invite you to become an official."

Zhu Yijun waved his hand, indicating that he was right.

Seeing that the emperor easily disposed of Liu Tai, those who were just about to make a move and were about to follow him couldn't help but hesitate.

Zhao Yongxian was frightened for a while and buried his head behind Zheng Zongxue again.

Unfortunately, someone will always hit the south wall.

Ai Mu was not afraid at all and spoke again: "Your Majesty, even if Liu Yushi is suspected of inviting names, it has nothing to do with Yuan Fu's rule."

Zhu Yijun didn't look at Aimu. Regardless of the person's behavior, just looking at the name, it was also a deliberate style of asking for the emperor's staff.

He was too lazy to pay attention to Aimu, and looked at the ministers: "The matter of Yuan Fu's defense has been troubled since the end of August."

"It just so happens that we have come to this point today, so I will ask for clarification..."
