Meridian Gate.

All officials gathered here.

Because of the actions of the Jin Yiwei and the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses Division last night, many people were alarmed.

So at this moment, all the civil and military officials gathered together in twos and threes, each whispering in a low voice, hoping to exchange intelligence with each other and obtain some useful information.

After all, if the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division even sealed the imperial capital, then something earth-shattering must have happened!

Jin Zhong, the Minister of War, was surrounded by a group of courtiers, with a look of confusion on his face.

Xia Yuanji hurried over and asked vehemently: "Jin Zhong, why are you sealing off the imperial capital?"

Jin Zhong: “???”

What?

Did I seal it?

I'll make you uncle!

I went to bed last night!

Jin Zhong's face flushed with anger and he shouted angrily: "This matter has nothing to do with me, and I don't know what's going on!"

"You fart!" Jian Yi yelled angrily: "Other than you, the Minister of War, who else can mobilize the Army and Horse Department?"

Jian Yi, as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and a Lord of Heaven, was extremely familiar with the political system of the Ming Dynasty.

The military leadership system of the Ming Dynasty was based on the principle of using civility to control military force and internal control of external forces. Military attachés at all levels were strictly prohibited from deploying troops without permission.

All orders for recruiting, guarding, paying tribute, and protecting fortresses are under the control of the Ministry of War's Staff Department!

If a military attache deploys troops without permission, that would be treason and rebellion!

In fact, under normal circumstances, the process of troop deployment should be for the Minister of War to request an order from the emperor.

After obtaining the emperor's approval, the military department went to the Royal Horse Supervisor according to the order to receive the fire cards and military talismans, and sent them to the Ministry of War, which would then implement them.

The principle of this system is that "when they are united, they breathe together, and when they are divided, they control each other" to avoid the situation where any one of the generals, powerful ministers and eunuchs controls the army alone.

To put it bluntly, the emperor alone controls the military power, and the civil and military eunuchs check and balance each other to stabilize his rule!

But as the saying goes, rules are dead but people are alive.

When the emperor leaves Beijing and the prince oversees the country, the Minister of War and the prince can discuss the deployment of troops.

Jin Zhong looked at everyone helplessly and uttered a word in a cold voice.

"Have you forgotten that there is an admiral in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division?"

Everyone: "!!!"

Admiral!

Lord Han!

The King of Han has returned to Beijing!

Before the expedition, His Majesty the Emperor granted Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu the privilege of supervising the Army and Horses Department, which has not changed yet!

If Jin Zhong, the Minister of War, knew nothing about last night's movements, it can only prove that it was the King of Han who did it!

The King of Han has returned to the capital!

When they thought of this, the expressions of the officials immediately changed.

Zhu Yong, Xu Qin and others were ecstatic, and the previous fear and uneasiness in their hearts were all replaced by ecstasy!

His Highness the King of Han returned to Beijing, and they now have a backbone!

Moreover, some people are going to be unlucky!

The three giants, Jin Zhong, Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji, looked quite solemn, and their faces were not very good-looking.

As soon as the Han prince returned to Beijing, he immediately ordered Gu Xingzu, the Marquis of Zhenyuan, to seal the imperial capital of Jinling. It was obvious that he came with bad intentions!

Thinking of the series of changes that have occurred in the Jinling Imperial Capital in recent days, the three giants are even more worried.

There is no doubt that the Prince of Han must have known about Jinchen Gongfu, so he immediately rushed back to the capital angrily!

Who can withstand the wrath of Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu?

He himself is a lawless master!

In the absence of His Majesty the Emperor, not even His Highness the Crown Prince could stop the furious Prince Han!

Thinking of this, the three giants couldn't help but sigh.

What an eventful time!

Cheng Zhu, a disaster is coming!

For a time, the civil servants were frightened and trembling, as if walking on thin ice, while the military attachés were ecstatic and free-spirited.

At this moment, the drums at the Meridian Gate rang, and the officials immediately stopped talking and lined up in order to prepare to enter the court.

Soon the palace door opened, and all the civil and military officials entered from the east side door one by one. With an uneasy mood, they crossed the Jinshui Bridge and formed a team in the square.

This square is the Square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the main entrance is the Gate of Supreme Harmony.

According to the functional design of the Forbidden City, the Hall of Supreme Harmony is the core building of the "previous dynasty" area where the emperor handled state affairs. In the past, the place where the Emperor of Heaven went to court was mainly at the Gate of Supreme Harmony, which was called the "Imperial Gate to listen to politics."

As the name suggests, this "imperial gate listening to politics" means that the emperor listens to ministers' work reports in front of the Gate of Supreme Harmony, rather than in the palace.

Taihe Gate and Qianqing Gate are both palace-style palace gates. Their appearance is the same as that of palace buildings, but they are connected from front to back. There are no walls or windows on the front and back. There are only beams and columns, two mountains and the roof of the palace on the platform.

There are three sets of opposite gates on the back wall of the palace. When the royal gate is listening to politics, the rear gate will be closed, leaving the front of the palace open to the square.

The emperor sat on the throne placed in the palace, and the ministers lined up on two sides in the square in front of the palace. After the mountains shouted long live, the imperial court began to listen to the government.

The location of the morning dynasty was the Gate of Supreme Harmony.

At this moment, all the officials have lined up according to their respective official positions and ranks. The people standing in front are naturally the six ministers and nine ministers and other important officials in the court.

However, the arrival of Zhang Xi, the commander of the Jin Yiwei, caused another disturbance in the square.

"Zhang Shi, where is His Highness the Crown Prince?"

As soon as some courtiers saw Zhang Shi, they immediately asked.

After all, the news of King Han's return to the capital has been confirmed, and now they can only hope that His Highness the Crown Prince can protect them.

Zhang Min looked at these hopeful officials and gentry, and couldn't help but jokingly said with a smile: "Oh, His Royal Highness is in the East Palace!"

"His Royal Highness the King of Han was ordered to oversee the administration of the country and ordered me to seal the Prince's Mansion in the East Palace. His Highness the Prince will not be able to come today!"

Ministers: "???"

What?

What did you say?

The King of Han sealed the East Palace?

Damn it, you are going crazy!

You, a prince, let the commander of the imperial army seal the crown prince's East Palace?

King of Han Zhu Gaoxu, what do you want to do?

For a moment, everyone began to panic, even the Big Three were confused at the moment.

The thief Prince Han sealed the East Palace?

What is he trying to do?

Doesn't he want to... seize the direct line?

At this time, the King of Han, dressed in a python suit, walked into the palace calmly.

"Hey, are you all here? I haven't seen you for such a long time. Do you miss me?"

Everyone: "???"

think?

Miss you?

Miss you uncle!

You bastard, why don't you die in Northern Xinjiang?

It's fine now. As soon as I came back, I sealed off the imperial capital and the Prince's Palace in the East Palace!

The Ming Dynasty had returned to normal, but because of the sudden return of this dog thief, it was afraid that it would cause countless waves again!

The three giants, Jin Zhong, Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji, looked at each other, some dumbfounded, and some helpless.

After all, King Zhu Gaoxu of Han was the one who was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor to supervise the country. Now that he has returned to the imperial capital of Jinling, even the crown prince has to exchange the power of supervising the country!

Prince Han, the prisoner of the country, is really back now!

Zhu Gaoxu looked coldly at these civil and military courtiers with different expressions, taking in all their performances.

He was too lazy to talk nonsense and started talking to himself directly.

"I was appointed to supervise the administration of the country and implemented various new policies that benefited the country and the people. I also made all arrangements before leaving."

"But I never expected that when I was fighting bloody battles in Lingbei, UU Reading www.uukanshu.net someone would actually stab me in the back. Each new policy was given various names, and was either stopped or banned. abolition!"

"Oh, what's the matter? Do you really think this king's sword can't kill people?"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was silent.

Everyone knew clearly that the King of Han returned to Beijing in anger and sealed the imperial capital of Jinling and the Prince's Mansion. He was obviously preparing to go on a killing spree!

At this juncture, there are no courtiers who dare to show their heads.

They were silent in front of him, so Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to start nodding.

"Tang Zong, was it you who tried the Chen Gongfu case?"

Suddenly being named by the King of Han, Tang Zong, the minister of Dali Temple, was shocked and a little panicked.

But then he thought about it, he judged the case in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty, so he was not afraid of any excuses from Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han Dynasty, and calmed down for the time being.

"Your Highness the King of Han, this case was decided by the Three Law Departments together with the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers. They were all judged in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Okay, that's well said. I like you, a loyal and upright minister like you!"

"In that case, let me leave this next case to you for trial!"

"Here at Taihemen Square, I will finish my trial today!"

Ministers: "???"

What?

What does it mean?

What case?

what happened?

Tang Zong was confused, and felt strong uneasiness in his heart.

Seeing his appearance, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly showed a kind smile.

"Bring the criminal here and let the upright Mr. Tang interrogate him!"

The ministers turned around to look at him with blank faces, but the next moment their faces turned pale with fear.

Hundreds of officials and gentry were escorted up in prison uniforms by royal guards!

Among them, most of them are Lang Guan from the Six Ministries and Hundreds of Divisions, but there are also many courtiers and even senior officials of the fourth rank!
