As the morning approaches, Jiang Xia has already gotten up before dawn.

After looking at Cui Rushuang who was still asleep, Jiang Xia showed a slight smile on his face. He stuck out his tongue and touched his tongue. He thought to himself: "This woman is disobedient and needs to use a stick to suck it. If she had known that this would be effective, she would not bite her tongue and pretend to be dead at the beginning. It would be in vain."

Jiang Xia reached out and touched Cui Rushuang's face, leaned down and kissed Cui Rushuang's face. Perhaps because she had tossed too many times last night, Cui Rushuang was tired, so she did not wake up as soon as she touched her like before.

Thinking of last night, Jiang Xia suddenly felt like he was sweating coldly. Rushuang called him a bad guy, and immediately "carried up the gun" and taught Cui Rushuang a lesson with a stick. Just after the lesson was finished, he said: "I will call my husband a bad guy in the future, and my husband will teach you a lesson immediately! Do you think you are afraid?"

Then what sounded in the room was Cui Rushuang's constant "bad guy, bad guy, bad guy, bad guy" sound, and I don't know what she wanted to do.

After Jiang Xia got up, he put on his clothes and tiptoed out of the door.

The maids waiting for Jiang Xia in the yard outside the door immediately came up. They originally wanted to salute him and shout "See the Master". However, Jiang Xia reached out to stop the maids and directly ordered them to wash themselves.

After washing up, Jiang Xia changed into his official uniform and walked towards the gate of Xiaoyao Villa.

Today is Zhu Houzhao's first morning dynasty when he returned to the capital, and today's morning dynasty is destined to be an ordinary morning dynasty.

Yesterday, Zhu Houzhao returned triumphantly, and no one in the court's civil and military affairs went to greet him. In order to be serious, this problem would be even more serious, because it already involved the respect of civil and military ministers for the imperial power.

After walking out of Xiaoyao Villa, Han Mufeng had already been waiting in the carriage.

Jiang Xia looked at the carriage and took a deep breath, then got on the carriage.

When Jiang Xia got on the carriage, Han Mufeng immediately sent him to the direction of the palace.

The morning light begins, and morning morning begins.

Zhu Houzhao was wearing a dragon robe and a crown on the dragon chaise. He asked himself: "Does the family of all the ministers have any instructions to report?"

The plain tone makes people feel that Zhu Houzhao is angry.

After waiting for a while, all the ministers in the court made a report without any credit.

Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, "Okay, you have nothing to say, so I will say it."

"Ministry of Revenue obeys the order!"

The Minister of Revenue immediately walked to the middle of the hall and knelt down: "I am here."

Zhu Houzhao said: "I will pass on my will. Any official in the capital will not be allowed to pay any salary from now on. Those who live in the official residence will be reclaimed!"

The Minister of Revenue was shocked and looked up at Zhu Houzhao. He found that his expression was serious and did not seem to be joking. So he nodded and responded: "I obey the order."

"The Ministry of Personnel obeys the order!"

Yang Tinghe, the Minister of Personnel, stood up again, knelt on the ground and bowed, "I am here."

"I will pass on my will and deprive all officials of the capital from the order of rank and order from now on. All officials above the seventh rank will be demoted to qualifying! "

"There are my husbands who obey the order." Yang Tinghe said these four words with difficulty.

Now that the incident happened, all the civil and military officials in the court naturally understood what was going on. The emperor was angry and very angry.

Salary suspension, official residence, and exemption from qualifying. I am afraid that no emperor has ever done this in ancient times.

The civil and military officials in the court immediately did not even dare to breathe, and cold sweats continued to emerge from their foreheads and backs.

But Zhu Houzhao was obviously not ready to let it go. He continued, "Ministry of Rites obeys the order!"

Choi Zhengyi, the Ministry of Rites, immediately stood up, knelt down and saluted, "I am here."

"I passed my order. In the future, all civil and military officials in the capital will not be allowed to sit in sedan chairs when they go out, will not be able to use yamen to lead the way, and will not accept the ceremony of the people kneeling down. In short, the officials in the capital will be no different from civilians in the future. Do you understand?"

"Yes! The empress is obeying the order." Cui Zhengyi responded.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, and the Minister of Revenue and Cui Zhengyi of the Ministry of Rites retreated to their respective positions, but only Yang Tinghe was still kneeling in the middle of the hall.

Zhu Houguan looked at him and ignored him. He used a color to the eunuch who was with him. The eunuch who was with him immediately shouted loudly: "If you have something to report, you will leave the court if you have nothing to do."

"Your Majesty, I have something to do to report."

Zhu Houzhao looked at Yang Tinghe and said coldly: "What's wrong with Yang Qing's family? Tell me."

"The emperor, the empress is bold in offending me. I want to ask the emperor why all Chinese civil and military officials in the court perform their duties conscientiously, deduct their salary, take back their official residence, deprive them of their ceremonial guards?"

"Perform your duties?" Zhu Houzhao sneered and said, "The ancients said, "Be a farmer in the morning, and ascend to the emperor's hall in the evening." You and others read the books of sages and obtained scholars through imperial examinations and were allowed to enter the temple. Since you became officials, how could you treat you badly?

But how do you treat me? Since I returned from the turmoil in Henan, the people still know to go out of the city to greet me. Did you? Has anyone ever appeared?"

"emperor!"

While speaking, the Hanlin Academy Scholar Lin Zezhong walked out of the square formation. He shook the hem of his official uniform and knelt on the ground and said, "Emperor, I am not waiting to greet me, and I do not congratulate each other because I am disrespectful to the emperor, but because I am the emperor and the emperor should put the country first.

It seems like this time that he rashly leads his troops to fight and puts himself in danger. If something goes wrong, this Ming Dynasty.”

"Don't let your mother goofy fart!" Zhu Houzhao suddenly cursed, then grabbed a black jade paperweight on the dragon case in front of him and threw it at Lin Zezhong.

Zhu Houzhao slapped the table and stood up, and said angrily: "In your heart, am I really such a foolish monarch who doesn't know how to accept advice? If my words and deeds are wrong, can't you speak out for advice in the court?

My dignified emperor led his troops to war, but he returned triumphantly but no ministers welcomed him. This matter was seen by thousands of people. Where do you let me, the emperor, take? In the hearts of the people, can I still be considered an emperor? Is this country I will leave to you in the future? What will I do in the future and obey your command? Bastard!"

Zhu Houzhao's words immediately made all the civil and military officials speechless.

What is the most important thing when literati fight with others? The most important thing is to stand on the commanding heights of morality, so that they can condemn others with confidence.

Originally, the officials in the court thought that they could just say that they were for the emperor's good if they didn't go to congratulate each other, but now Zhu Houzhao didn't talk about whether he went to war or not, but directly said that the officials did not go to congratulate each other and made him lose face, and whether they made such opinions were right or wrong.

By avoiding the real and turning the virtual, the civil and military officials in the court immediately had no power to fight back.

After being silent for about a few seconds, all the civil and military officials knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "I am ignorant and ignorant, I am ignorant, and I am ignorant. I am dying. Please forgive me for your crimes."

Zhu Houzhao looked at them and snorted coldly, saying lightly: "Since I know that I deserve to die the most, why should I mention forgiveness again?"

Yang Tinghe raised his head, and after he pointed out three times at Zhu Houzhao, he said, "Your Majesty, as the chief minister of the cabinet, today's facts are hard to do with the Wei. I am willing to bear all the guilt and ask the Emperor to forgive the others."

When Jiang Xia heard Yang Tinghe say this, he immediately frowned.

What does Yang Tinghe want to do?

In this case, he took responsibility and courageously, and he also took advantage of the situation to take the best of both worlds.

But looking at the fundamentals, Yang Tinghe has made a lot of meanings as the chief minister of the cabinet at this time.

One, Yang Tinghe stated that he was on the side of all civil and military officials, which proved that Zhu Houzhao was absolutely wrong in leading troops to the war. Even the cabinet minister whom you appointed said you were wrong, and Zhu Houzhao could never turn his back on the right or wrong of this matter.

Both are Yang Tinghe, as the chief minister of the cabinet, took all the blame on him alone, and Zhu Houzhao would not really do anything to him. However, all the civil and military officials in the court owed him a favor because of this matter. It was really easy to plot.

Yang Tinghe clearly gave Zhu Houzhao a step forward. After all, Zhu Houzhao's salary was deducted, reclaimed the official residence, deprived him of his ceremonial guards, and was exempted from his ceremonial guards. It was impossible to really do this.

When Yang Tinghe stood up like this, Zhu Houzhao had the opportunity to step down. In this way, Zhu Houzhao would punish him on the surface at most, but in fact he would still be grateful to him.

Jiang Xia said in his heart.

Sure enough, Zhu Houzhao looked at Yang Tinghe and cursed angrily: "Okay, just be willing to come out and take responsibility. As the chief minister of the cabinet, you have caused such a big deal. I will confiscate your salary for three years and be demoted to one rank at the same time. You will not be allowed to take a sedan chair when traveling within one year."

Jiang Xia showed a smile on his lips, and it was indeed raised high and gently falling. Even Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to do such things that the ministers did together, even as an emperor.

The saying that the law does not blame the masses has always existed, which makes sense, but it depends on what the meaning of the "common" means.

Jiang Xia could even conclude that Zhu Houzhao would find a reason to promote Yang Tinghe's official position in less than a month, and even improve it. As for the three-year salary, Zhu Houzhao would find a reason to give him a thousand taels of gold and make up for it completely.

In the end, it is simply a joke that people cannot sit in a sedan chair when traveling. People cannot sit in a sedan chair and can't even ride in a carriage.

Jiang Xia shook her head, and finally began to understand why Zhu Houzhao was so persistent in controlling military power and intimidating all officials.

The civil servants are so arrogant that they are indeed not dealt with.

The officials were gently exposed to the event that they did not come out to welcome him. Then Zhu Houzhao said, "By the way, the Ministry of Rites prepares, and I will soon be appointed as Concubine Feng."

"Yes, the empress is obeying the order." Cui Zhengyi quickly responded, but he was confused. When did Concubine Feng appear again?
