It was three in the morning, and it was still midnight!
The civil and military officials arrived at the noon gate of the palace and waited to enter.
Dong dong dong--
At five o'clock in the morning, the bell on the Meridian Gate tower sounded. The civil and military officials lined up in order and entered the Imperial Palace. They stepped over the Golden Water Bridge and arrived outside the throne room!
From time to time, Liu Zhuo ran up to the Golden Palace with small steps and shouted at the top of his voice,"Your Majesty has arrived!"
The officials were surprised. Why wasn't it Zhang Hong?
However, they didn't have time to ask. They all rushed into the hall and knelt down to kowtow!
"Greetings, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!”
At this moment, Jiang Chen slowly ascended the throne and sat on the throne!
"Beloved ministers, rise!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The officials kowtowed again and then stood up.
When they saw Jiang Chen, they were all stunned!
Jiang Chen's first appearance in court was completely different from what they imagined!
There was not the slightest bit of panic or immaturity. Instead, he was calm and composed as usual, causing the eyes of all the officials to light up!
After all, everyone was still worried that something would happen to the young emperor during his first court session!
Now, it seemed that everyone was worrying too much. Not only did nothing happen to Tian Zi, but he also displayed an extraordinary aura. It was really surprising.
When the ministers looked at Jiang Chen, Jiang Chen was also looking at them!
His gaze was mainly fixed on the three people standing at the front!
These three people were the ministers in the cabinet, Zhang Zheng, Li Muhe, and Liu Yuan!
Jiang Chen only took a glance, and the attributes of the three were revealed in front of him!
Among them, Chief Assistant Zhang Zheng's Loyalty Level had reached 50, but his Ambition Level was not low either, reaching 90. He was also the Grand Tutor, and his official rank was First Grade!
Li Muhe was the second assistant. His data was similar to Zhang Zheng's, or even better. He was also a junior tutor and an official of the first rank!
As for Liu Yuan, he was also a secondary assistant. However, his attributes were different from the previous two. Even though he was not very outstanding, his loyalty was very high and his ambition was almost non-existent. He was the only loyal official in the cabinet. His position was the Grand Secretary of the Middle Extreme Palace Hall, a Fifth Grade Official!
Jiang Chen roughly understood the structure of the cabinet!
There were a total of three ministers, two ambitious and powerful ministers, and only one loyal official of the fifth rank!
In this way, the cabinet would not be able to achieve the effect of checks and balance. One could imagine the decisions made by the cabinet!
However, everything was within Jiang Chen's expectations. He retracted his gaze and said,""Dear ministers, do you have any memorials?”
"I have a memorial to report!"
Liu Yuan walked out of the court and cupped his hands respectfully.
"Allow!"
Jiang Chen nodded.
Liu Yuan took a deep breath and glanced at Zhang Zheng and the others beside him.
"This subject dares to speak bluntly. Although Your Majesty is young and has just ascended the throne, you already have the might of a dragon!”
"Therefore, I believe that Your Majesty has the ability to govern personally. I hope that Your Majesty will take back the power of the eunuchs, remove the power of the cabinet, and take charge of the government personally!”
"In this way, we can let the world know that our country's True Dragon has soared!”
"Moreover, the people in the country are waiting for the emperor's wise leadership!”
"Only under His Majesty's wise leadership can our country grow stronger day by day, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. This is the blessing of the people of Tianwu Kingdom!”
"Your Majesty, I hope that you will govern personally!"
"I agree!"
"This humble subject agrees!"
At the same time, many officials in the court also stood out and cupped their hands in worship.
At this moment, Zhang Zheng couldn't sit still anymore. He snorted coldly in his heart. He had long expected Liu Yuan to make a move during the morning court session. How could he easily give up his power? He walked out of the court and cupped his hands.
"Lord Liu, the cabinet was created by the previous emperor.”
" Moreover, the late emperor's posthumous edict states that the cabinet ministers are ordered to assist the new emperor in handling the court affairs. Your Majesty is still young and this is your first time attending court, so you are not familiar with everything. The existence of the cabinet is to help Your Majesty govern the country better. When Your Majesty matures, there will naturally be no need for the cabinet. It will not be too late to stop at that time!”
"Lord Liu is in such a hurry. Could it be that you intend to monopolize power?”
"That's right. The cabinet is the center of the country. It's an important tool for His Majesty to govern the world.”Li Muhe echoed.
"We agree. The cabinet must not be dismissed!”
In an instant, many officials walked out of the court.
The two sides fought endlessly!
……
Jiang Chen quietly watched everything. The situation was clear!
The faction led by Liu Yuan was obviously pro-imperial, so before the morning court session, they had already communicated to force the cabinet to give up power and eliminate the eunuchs so that Jiang Chen could rule!
The faction led by Zhang Zheng was obviously the faction of powerful ministers. They wanted to maintain the structure of the cabinet, control the royal court, and contend with the imperial power!
As for the other ministers who were indifferent, they were either neutral or from other factions.
So far, it was clear that the powerful ministers faction had more people and had the upper hand!
If it were any other emperor, they might already be flustered and at a loss!
However, Jiang Chen was prepared, everything was within his expectations!
At the same time, a few lines of golden words appeared in Jiang Chen's mind again!
Obviously, the first time they went to court, the two factions fought and triggered a new event. A new time notification also appeared!
