Zhu Houjie was anxious and furious!
He had just ascended the throne not long ago. Was he going to go to Mei Mountain to find a crooked tree and hang himself?!
"When did this happen?! Why didn't I receive any news?!”Zhu Houjin's face was gloomy as he questioned!
At this moment, Yan Song was already frightened out of his wits.
From the moment he saw Yang Tinghe tied up by the Golden Water Bridge, Yan Song had already felt that something was wrong.
That was the Prime Minister of the cabinet, and he was kidnapped just like that. He was still tied up at the Golden Water Bridge. Every official who came to the Gate of Supreme Harmony saw Yang Tinghe's miserable state.
Moreover, it was said that the East and West Chambers had made a move last night. It seemed that Yang Tinghe's family was going to be in trouble.
This was the outcome for those who dared to refute the Emperor's imperial edict.
However, when he saw Xu Jie telling Zhu Houjie that Da Tong was in danger, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar and broke out in cold sweat.
Sure enough, Xu Jie continued," Last night, the cabinet received an urgent letter from 800 miles away. I wanted to give the secret letter directly to Your Majesty and let Your Majesty decide."”
" But Lord Ci Fuyan has already made a decision for His Majesty…"
Yan Song's body went limp, and he knelt in front of Zhu Houjin, crying.
"I'm innocent, Your Majesty! This lowly subject only wanted to share some of the burden of government affairs for His Majesty, and absolutely had no other thoughts.”
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet only had the right to make suggestions and not the right to make decisions.
When government affairs were handed over to the cabinet, the cabinet would give their own opinions on how to deal with each matter and then report it to the emperor. This was called voting.
After the emperor saw it, he wrote it down with a red pen. This was called red approval.
And Yan Song was taking advantage of the emperor's young age to directly overstep the boundaries and use the vote to approve the red!
This was a great crime that could be beheaded!
The only reason Yan Song dared to be so arrogant was because in the few months since Zhu Houjiu ascended the throne, Yang Tinghe had been the one in charge. Zhu Houjiu had no intention of ruling personally.
However, when Yan Song saw Yang Tinghe tied up on the Golden Water Bridge, he understood that the Emperor was going to rule the country himself!
As expected, what welcomed Yan Song was Zhu Houjin's thunderous rage!
"Bastard! Without my approval, who allowed you to make decisions on your own!”
"Do you still have this emperor in your eyes?!”
"Is this world mine or yours?!”
The three consecutive questions made Yan Song's face turn pale.
"Yan Song, zhen asks you, what arrangements do you have?!”
Hearing the Emperor ask about this, Yan Song heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He felt that he had done a good job.
Thus, Yan Song hurriedly said," I've already sent Qiu Yue's grandson, the commander of Ningxia, Qiu Luan, as the commander of Datong. He will lead 3,000 Divine Arms Battalion and 150,000 soldiers to assist Datong Prefecture.”
"Chou Luan is the descendant of a famous general. She has rich battle experience and is proficient in martial arts.”
"I believe that under his leadership, the mere Tartar barbarians are nothing to fear!”
Hearing Yan Song's arrangements, Zhu Houyan was about to go crazy with anger!
Who was Chou Luan?
In history, he was also the commander of Da Tong to resist the invasion of the Tartar Anda.
However, this guy was a complete idiot. He didn't know how to fight!
The way he went to defend Da Tong was to bribe An Da to not attack Da Tong!
Yes, it was to bribe Anda with real money!
Anda also accepted Chou Luan's bribe and really did not attack Datong. Instead, he directly led 300,000 Tartar troops to bypass Datong and head straight for Ji Bei!
What was behind Ji Bei? That was the capital!
The Tartar army went straight into Changping from Ji Bei, burning, killing, and looting in Huairou, Shunyi, and other places. In the end, they even surrounded the capital!
What a disgrace!
"Where is Shen Lian?" Zhu Houjin roared angrily!
"Your subject is here!"
Wearing a flying fish robe embroidered with a spring knife, the commander of the Brocade Guard knelt in front of Zhu Houyi and saluted.
"Drag Yan Song out and execute him by a thousand cuts!”
"Yan Song's son, Yan Shifan, will be executed by a thousand cuts!”
"Kill Yan Song's nine clans and make all the women soldiers!”
"Seize all of Yan Song's assets and confiscate them!”
"Tell Yu Huatian not to come back after he finishes looting the houses in Xindu. He can go straight to Fen Yi to continue looting Yan Song's old house!”
"Immediately go and capture Chou Luan and drag her back to be executed by a thousand cuts together with Yan Song!”
"Kill the three clans! All the women will be soldiers!"
Orders were issued from the furious Zhu Houjiu.
Every time an order was issued, all the officials present would tremble. Some of the more timid officials had already spilled filth.
Only now did they realize that they were not facing a young emperor, but a monarch who held the power of the world!
No matter how old Zhu Houjiu was, no matter whether he had power in the imperial court or not, as long as the world was still surnamed Zhu, then the life and death of all of them were just a matter of a word from Zhu Houjiu.
And most importantly, the East Chamber, West Chamber, and Jinyiwei were three organizations that frightened people. They were firmly controlled by the Emperor!
At the thought of this, they were filled with deep fear of the young figure on the dragon throne!
"Your Majesty! No!"
"Your Majesty, please have mercy!"
"Your Majesty, please spare my life! Spare me, Your Majesty!"
Yan Song was already paralyzed with fear. He was already in his sixties, and he was the deputy of the cabinet. At this moment, he had lost all face and was kowtowing like pounding garlic.
The person who was paralyzed with Yan Song was the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works.
He was Yan Song's son, Yan Shifan!
