Zhu Houjin took a sip of hot tea and looked at Qian Ning, who was bowing to the side, and asked,
"Is there anything urgent at the cabinet? The ceremonial director should have received it, right?"
" Your Majesty, ever since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the four seas of Ming have been peaceful and the five grains have been plentiful. There has never been any urgent matter..."
Zhu Houjin's face turned ashen instantly. He looked at Qian Ning coldly and said,""Zhen wants you to do practical things, not ingratiate yourself!”
Qian Ning's face turned pale and she said hurriedly,"
" The Minister of Rites received 15 memorials from the cabinet today. Most of them have been reviewed and sent back to the cabinet. There are only a few things that I have left behind…"
"Those few things?" Zhu Houyan said indifferently.
"Your Majesty, it's not a big deal. The Tartars in the north and the Japanese pirates in the south are harassing us.”
"Go, bring me the memorial!”Zhu Houjin poured a cup of tea on Qian Ning's face and shouted.
"This subject obeys the decree!"
Qian Ning, whose face was splashed with tea, bowed and left the hall. Cold sweat dripped down, and the tea had already soaked his official clothes.
Not long after, Qian Ning delivered a stack of memorials.
Zhu Houjin casually picked up one of the memorials and took a look. His expression immediately changed, and then he suddenly stood up.
"Pass down the decree, summon the cabinet ministers to see me!”
Fifteen minutes later, Yang Tinghe, Yang Yiqing, Xu Jie, and the other cabinet ministers arrived at Yangxin Palace Hall.
Zhu Houzhen's face was filled with anger. He flung his sleeve and threw a memorial down the steps of the palace.
"The Japanese riot is so rampant, and you actually whitewash peace! Preposterous!"
Yang Tinghe bent down and picked up the memorial to read.
Qian Youqing, the governor of the southeast, reported,
" The Japanese pirates once sailed a small boat to rob the Tosa and Fenghou seas. They hid on a wild island and peeped at twenty merchant ships to rob them. They were not satisfied and finally went to rob them. The bandits marched straight into the border for a hundred miles…Jeonju, Gyeongju, and Yunzhou are in danger! The southeast half of the wall is in danger!"
After reading the memorial, Chief Assistant Yang Tinghe broke out in a cold sweat. He seemed to have overlooked this memorial…
The Japanese pirates often harassed and looted villages and towns in the southeast, but this time, they went ashore in an unprecedented manner, burning, killing, and looting five coastal cities.
" Your Majesty, I…" Yang Tinghe bowed as he thought of a countermeasure.
Damned pirates, why did they have to make such a big move at this time? He actually ignored this urgent memorial and sent it directly to the ceremonial supervisor.
How could Zhu Houjin, who had just ascended the throne, tolerate this?
He was furious!
"The pirates invaded the southeast and killed my people. The cabinet actually turned a blind eye to it, they really deserve to be killed! Damn it!"
"Your Majesty, it must be that the Japanese pirates colluded with the pirates of the Ming Dynasty, working together from the inside and outside, that's why…"
Pa!
Zhu Houzhen slammed his palm on the table.
"Enough! I don't need your excuses now. The Japanese pirates have already invaded the mainland for a hundred miles, and the people have been massacred by the Japanese. How can the cabinet not know about such a big matter?”
Boom!
Yang Tinghe looked at the Emperor in front of him, who had stunned him. He was extremely shocked.
He suddenly realized that he could not see through the eyes of this young emperor at all. There was a strange majesty flickering in them.
That didn't belong to a 15-year-old at all…
It made him feel a chill run down his spine. He hurriedly apologized,"This subject is guilty!"
"The southeastern half of the city is in danger. Is this a small matter?”
In the Hall of Heart Cultivation, Emperor Jiajing Zhu Hou was furious.
He had never thought that he would be dragged down by Yang Tinghe's laziness as soon as he transmigrated.
If he hadn't checked the memorial, then the matter of the pirates landing and slaughtering the Ming people would definitely have been concealed.
The Southeastern Prefecture of the Ming Empire would be a big wound that was bleeding.
Zhou Province, Yun Province, Qing Province, Fang Province, Zhang Province…they were all places of fish and rice. They were the empire's money bags and grain sacks.
The anger of the Son of Heaven was the anger of Heaven!
"Yang Tinghe!"
"Your humble subject is here!"
"You're fatuous and incompetent, delaying military aircraft, wasting the court's salary, bringing disaster to the country and the people. Where are the warriors outside the hall?"
"Yes!"
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
Dressed in fish-scale mail armor and carrying a book on their waists, the Autumn Water Goose Plume Saber, the imperial guards rushed into Yangxin Palace.
"Bring Yang Tinghe out and behead him! Seize the house!"
"Yes!"
In Yangxin Palace Hall, Yang Yiqing, Xu Jie, and Qian Ning lowered their heads. They did not dare to defend Yang Tinghe.
They wouldn't help Yang Tinghe either, because Yang Tinghe had always oppressed them.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
"Your Majesty! Emperor, this old minister is an elder of four dynasties, please have mercy!”
"Your Majesty…"
When Yang Tinghe was dragged out of Yangxin Palace Hall, he definitely did not know that Zhu Houjin would attack him so quickly.
He had never expected that the young emperor would be so ruthless.
Under normal circumstances, as long as he was not guilty of treason, he would at most be demoted to a commoner after his family was confiscated.
However…
When the imperial guards dragged Yang Tinghe out of the palace and pressed him on the beheading platform, Yang Tinghe remembered the strange look in the young emperor's eyes.
Everything was too late. The guillotine fell high, and Yang Tinghe, the current leader of the four dynasties, was beheaded overnight!
Soon after, the Brocade Guard was ordered to arrest a few of Yang Tinghe's trusted aides.
At the same time, the barbarians of the East Military Hall went to Yang Tinghe's residence to confiscate his property.
