The reason why he was able to become the Great Ming Emperor was because of the cabinet led by Yan Song and Xu Jie.
If it could be established, it could be deposed. Zhu Zaihou did not want to become a puppet of Emperor Xian of Han.
Compared to Yan Song, Xu Jie was much more low-key and scheming.
In the imperial court, only Xu Jie had the ability to compete with Yan Song.
However, Xu Jie had been in the officialdom for many years. Without absolute confidence, it was impossible for him to fight Yan Song to the death.
They were the eunuchs of the previous dynasty, Lu Fang, Huang Jin, and Chen Hong.
At this moment, they were also observing the officials 'every move in the hall.
"The entire court is not one of us…"
Zhu Zaihou, who was sitting on the throne, looked at the civil and military officials and laughed.
He looked up at the fifteen-year-old young emperor sitting on the throne and thought,"
"Let this old man be the regent of the Ming Dynasty for a few more years. After I get Shifan into the cabinet, I will return the power to you. Young man, wait a little longer.”
Not only Yan Song, but the other officials in the court also had their own plans.
The foundation of the Son of Heaven's power was weak, and the throne was unstable. All the power was probably in Yan Song's hands…
The empire would probably fall into chaos…
To be an official in the imperial court of the Ming Empire, one had to be an old fox.
If he didn't know how to scheme against others, he would definitely be schemed against by others.
——
After the court session ended, Zhu Hou returned to Yangxin Palace Hall and looked at Chen Hong, the pen-wielding eunuch in front of him.
Chen Hong was ranked third in the Bureau of Rites and was in charge of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
The second was Huang Jin. Huang Jin was Jiajing's closest eunuch and was now in charge of the East Chamber.
"Your Majesty, the previous emperor has already been buried. Your Majesty has ascended the throne and can choose talents.”
"Chen Hong, I am only thirteen this year. Why am I in such a hurry to select talents?”Zhu Zaihou said seriously.
Before he could finish his sentence, Chen Hong was shocked. The Emperor's expression was extremely calm.
It was said that Prince Yu had a soft personality, but it seemed like that was not the case!
Chen Hong was at a loss for what to do with this sudden change. He panicked.
He was Emperor Jiajing's favorite. Now that the emperor had changed, would he be replaced?
He knew that the Emperor was his heaven.
If the new emperor fell for his trick, he would continue to enjoy the glory and wealth.
If he could not figure out what the new emperor wanted, then his good days would come to an end.
Zhu Zaihou took a sip of hot tea and looked at Chen Hong, who was bowing beside him, and asked,"
"Is there any urgent memorial from the cabinet? The ceremonial director should have received it, right?"
"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty is peaceful and prosperous. There is no urgent matter..."
Zhu Hou's face instantly turned ashen. He looked at Chen Hong coldly and said,"
"Zhen wants you to do real things, not to whitewash the peace!”
Chen Hong hurriedly said,"
"Today, the Chief of Rites received twenty memorials from the cabinet. Most of them have been reviewed and sent back to the cabinet.
"There are only a few things that I have left unsaid…"
"Those few things?" Zhu Zaihou said indifferently.
"Your Majesty, it's not a big deal. A few Tartars in the north and a few Japanese pirates in the south are harassing us.”
"Isn't this a big deal? Go, bring me the memorial!"
Zhu Zaihou poured a cup of hot tea on Chen Hong's face and shouted.
"I…obey!"
Chen Hong, whose face was splashed with tea, bowed and left the hall.
The hot tea splashed on her face, and she immediately felt a burning pain. The skin on her face had already been scalded.。
However, Chen Hong was currently drenched in cold sweat…
After a while.
Chen Hong sent a memorial.
"Pass down the decree, summon the cabinet ministers to see me!”
Fifteen minutes later, Yan Song, Xu Jie, Minister of Revenue Yang Chunfang, Minister of War Ding Rukui, and the other cabinet ministers had already jogged to Yangxin Hall.
"The Japanese riot is so rampant that you actually whitewash peace! Preposterous!"
The Minister of War, Ding Rukui, bent down to read the memorial.
Southeast Governor Hu Zongxian reported,"
"500 strong Japanese pirates on small boats peeped at the southeast, dozens of merchant ships were looted, and the bandits slept as they drove straight for 50 miles!”
" Your Majesty, I was careless…" Ding Rukui bowed as he thought of a countermeasure.
Damned pirates, why did they have to make such a big move at this time?
How could Zhu Zaihou, who had just ascended the throne, tolerate this?
His face was ice-cold, and the temperature in Yangxin Palace Hall seemed to have dropped!
