Dai Yi and Xiao Jing have similar personalities, and they are too obedient when dealing with civil officials. In addition, he does not have Xiao Jing's ability to make decisions at the right time, so he is so trembling in front of Liu Jian and Li Dongyang that he becomes more and more timid and incompetent.

This is also the main reason why Liu Jian recommended Dai Yi to be the eunuch in charge of the Secretariat. Dai Yi was in charge of the Secretariat. Even the emperor's confidant could not control the overall situation. Even the court's affairs would still be controlled by Liu Jian and Li Dongyang, even more comfortable than Xiao Jing's power.

Dai Yi quickly returned to the Ganqing Palace to ask Zhu Houzhao for instructions, and asked Zhu Houzhao to send a message to Han Wen, the Minister of Revenue, and other ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, to jointly submit a memorial to impeach the main figures of eunuchs such as Liu Jin and entered the palace.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang and others went to the Ganqing Palace together. Before they reached the main hall of the Ganqing Palace, Dai Yi ran out all the way.

After seeing Liu Jian, Dai Yi stepped forward to salute: "Young Master Liu, Your Majesty has followed your instructions and told Han Shangshu and others to enter the palace. I wonder what you have any other requirements?"

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang looked at each other, and Liu Jian twisted the beard under his jaw and said, "No need, I'll go to see the Saint now. Can Your Majesty be inside?"

Dai Yi nodded: "Your Majesty is waiting. If you sir, you don't have to report it, just go in."

Liu Jian nodded: "Okay."

After saying that, these people ignored Dai Yi and walked directly to the entrance of the Ganqing Palace Hall. Eunuchs were waiting outside the hall. At this time, the hall was brightly lit. Liu Jian and others knew that the emperor was ready to welcome the matter inside.

Because it was already October, the Western calendar was approaching the end of the year, and the night was extremely cold. When Liu Jian and others arrived at the back hall, they opened. Liu Jian looked inside and confirmed that there were no eunuchs impeached by Han Wen before in the hall. Only Zhu Houzhao and a few inconspicuous eunuchs and palace maids brought several civil officials into the Ganqing Palace.

"I will meet your Majesty." Liu Jian came up and gave Zhu Houzhao a warning. Without waiting for Zhu Houzhao to say anything, he bowed and bowed directly.

Among the etiquette of the monarch and ministers of the Ming Dynasty, there is no need to kneel down. When the ministers greeted the emperor, they just bowed their hands to salute. At this time, everyone brought tablets for court. After all, they had not left the palace gate before, but they were waiting for the monarch and ministers to meet again.

Zhu Hou took care of this situation and suddenly felt guilty... No one around him helped him. He was just a fifteen-year-old boy with a lack of experience in dealing with the crisis. He thought to himself:

"These ministers are coming in full force. If the father encounters this situation, I don't know how to deal with it? If I can't handle it well, they will not deprive my throne, right?"

Zhu Houzhao's timidity towards his ministers stems from his uncertainty about his throne.

In the past, the naughty child did not think that his throne was unstable, but as he became emperor, he suffered from setbacks and civil officials abusing power, he felt a great sense of crisis. He was shuddered when Chen Xi told the tragic end of the emperor after being deposed by powerful officials such as Huo Guang, Cao Cao, Huan Wen, Yuwen Hu in history.

Zhu Houzhao was standing there, and when he saw the ministers coming, he sat back on the dragon chaise and asked, "You are all calm, you don't have to be too polite in front of me. I heard that you have been kneeling outside the Meridian Gate for a long time, and I couldn't bear it. I asked you to come to the Ganqing Palace to talk. People, prepare a few braziers. Today, the wind is blowing outside and the weather is cold. Let your beloved be warm."

Even if Zhu Houzhao showed great sincerity, Liu Jian and others would not stand up easily, and this would put even more pressure on Zhu Houzhao...

Liu Jian bent his body and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is here today. I have something to advise you. Please take your order back."

Zhu Houzhao's voice trembled and asked, "How can I take back...?"

Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty will use Liu Jin as the eunuch in charge of the seal before. Please take back the eunuch!"

Liu Jian did not directly propose to let Xiao Jing return to his original position, mainly because he knew that this incident was caused by Xiao Jing's voluntary resignation. If Xiao Jing insisted on resuming his post now and Xiao Jing continued to retire in order to fulfill the emperor, then their advice to "take back Cheng Sheng" would not have any result. It would be better to ask Zhu Houzhao to take back his personnel arrangements for Liu Jin.

Zhu Houzhao coughed twice, looked at Liu Jian, nodded and said, "Your Madam Liu, I think your words make some sense. Do you have anything else to say to your family?"

Liu Jian didn't expect that the advice would be so smooth. He had not planned to kill Liu Jin and others before. After all, the foreign ministers complained about the eunuch's fault and directly asked the emperor to kill the favored people around him. This oppression of the emperor was too much. Liu Jian felt that doing so was too aggressive.

But because of this incident so smoothly, it was recognized by Zhu Houzhao, so he did not feel accomplished.

That's all, the emperor no longer mentioned that Liu Jin was in charge of the rituals and supervision? What if the emperor proposed it again one day in the future and we are no longer in the court at that time?

Liu Jian suddenly had the idea of ​​completely eliminating hidden dangers, but he did not directly mention the words of killing Liu Jin, Zhang Yuan and others, and did not want the conflict with Zhu Houzhao to further intensify.

Zhu Houzhao asked, "Young Master Liu, I have already approved what you asked for. Is there anything else? If not, please go back and rest. It's getting late, and the wind is cold outside, and it's cold. I understand that you have worked hard and hope to continue to assist me in the future and work hard to build a prosperous dynasty!"

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao spoke very weakly, with a little begging in her tone.

Although Liu Jian didn't say anything, Li Dongyang also thought that it would be a disaster sooner or later to keep Liu Jin, Zhang Yuan and others. Seeing that Liu Jian refused to speak out, he took the initiative to stand up and said, "Your Majesty, the court officials have submitted a memorial to impeach Liu Jin and other traitors before. I wonder how Your Majesty should approve it?"

Zhu Houzhao's face turned dead gray in an instant. When he responded to the candlelight, he frowned, and looked a little aggrieved in his panic. He asked, "Mr. Li, look... In fact, Liu Jin and other internal officials have grown up with me and taken care of my daily life and do their best. There is no need to be as serious as killing them, right?"

Li Dongyang did not retreat at all: "These internal supervisors did not think about the emperor's kindness, and tempted His Majesty to go out of the palace to play, so that His Majesty could escape the government and set up markets in the palace to disrupt the court. Such treacherous ministers and traitors would not be enough to calm the anger of the public if they did not kill them!"

This is not wrong to the civil officials, but every word is slaughtering the heart when it comes to Zhu Houzhao's ears.

To put it bluntly, Zhu Houzhao went out of the palace to visit, including establishing a market in the palace, was not led by Liu Jin and Zhang Yuan, but because he, the emperor, had this need, the internal supervisor would help him arrange it. Many things were thought out by himself. Now Li Dongyang accused Liu Jin and other eunuchs, who were actually slapped Zhu Houzhao in the face.

Zhu Houzhao's little face had turned from dead gray to a little red, and she was a little embarrassed and angry.

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself: "My mother asked me to endure it. She said that my father endured it for many years before he achieved success later. But after all, the father endured it when he was the crown prince. After becoming the emperor, he no longer endured it! Now I am the emperor, and I still let me listen to ministers in everything, and they even wanted to kill the people around me. Can I endure it?"

Just when Zhu Houzhao was in a hurry to get off the tiger, Dai Yi hurried in and asked, "Your Majesty, Han Shangshu and others are waiting outside."

"So fast?"

Zhu Houzhao did not expect the court officials to come so quickly. After thinking for a while, he realized that these people should be guarding outside the Ming Gate to support Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and others. Now that they have received the imperial order to enter the palace, they can enter the palace in the shortest time.

Although Zhu Houzhao did not want to face more court officials, he and Li Dongyang are in a stalemate, and the arrival of new officials may be able to slightly alleviate the embarrassment in front of him.

Zhu Houzhao raised his hand and said, "Please come in."

"Yes, your Majesty."

Dai Yi was a sound tube at this time. He did not have the ability to deal with it on the spot. Even in front of Zhu Houzhao, he could not give advice.

When Dai Yi went out to invite Han Wen and others in, Zhu Houzhao realized that there were not only Han Wen, but also censors from the Censorate and the Sixth Department. These people usually like to talk too much in the court.

At the same time, Zhang Sheng, Minister of Rites and Min Gui, Minister of Justice, also entered the palace together, with only the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Works not present.

In this matter, Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia chose to be neutral, while Li Yu, the Minister of Works, went out of Beijing to supervise the construction of Tailing Mausoleum, and had some relationship with Li Xing, so it was not convenient to express his opinion.

As soon as Han Wen came in, before he could salute, he took out a memorial from his arms and knelt down and asked: "Your Majesty, the old minister has a memorial!"

Zhu Houzhao was even more at a loss now.

A kneeling Han Wen put more pressure on him than Li Dongyang standing. He recalled: "It's bad, it's bad. The first person to propose to kill Liu Jin and Zhang Yuan and other internal prisoners is Han Wen, the old man. Letting him in now will not kill my life?"

Zhu Houzhao said: "Han Shangshu gets up and talks, I..."

He originally wanted to say a few words to smooth things over, but Han Wen did not give him this opportunity and shouted sternly: "Your Majesty, the old minister lists the four major crimes of Liu Jin and other traits, all of which are death sentences. Please forgive your Majesty and kill these treacherous ministers. In addition, drive the scum in the internal prison out of the palace, and no longer allow them to return to the capital to face the sound of the sound!"

Zhu Houzhao frowned and muttered: "Four Great Sins? Are there so many?"

Zhu Houzhao became a confused child. Somehow he faced a group of aggressive ministers and thought to himself: "It would be great if someone could help me with advice, but now Liu Jin has been listed as a 'sinner' who must be killed, and Mr. Shen couldn't help even when he just went to the northwest. What should I do?"

But at this time Dai Yi thought Zhu Houzhao didn't hear it clearly, so he came over and repeated it: "Your Majesty, have you heard it? Shangshu Han submitted a memorial, please kill Liu Jin and other rebels."

Even though Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to Liu Jian, Han Wen and others, he still had enough majesty to an internal supervisor like Dai Yi. He glared at Dai Yi fiercely, as if he was blaming Dai Yi for being too talkative.
