The third level of the Longevity Technique was invulnerable.
By midnight, Zhu Youtang was already sweating profusely.
He heaved a sigh of relief.
According to the system's introduction, the third tier of the Art of Longevity could increase one's physical fitness to the realm of invulnerability.
There were people in the martial world outside the temple who practiced Indestructible Diamond, but this kind of martial art had a lifeline. Once they were touched by the enemy, they would die without a doubt.
However, what Zhu Youtang cultivated did not have any life gate!
……
Early the next morning, Zhu Youtang was served by eunuchs and palace maids in the emperor's new dragon robe.
Today was his first morning court session after he ascended the throne.
It was also his first time coming into contact with the external court.
"Let's go to the Xuan Dynasty."
Zhu Youtang was expressionless as he walked towards Fengtian Hall under the protection of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
……
Outside the Wu Gate, the officials had been waiting for a long time.
At the beginning of the Hongzhi period, the famous paper three cabinet elders and the clay six ministers were like old monks in meditation.
The so-called paper three cabinet elders referred to the three cabinet ministers of the Tianshun, Jingtai, Chenghua, and Hongzhi dynasties.
They were Wan An, Liu He, and Liu Ji.
These three people were in charge of the cabinet. They did not care about major matters and did not ask about small matters. Many military and political matters went to the cabinet, but they did not go.
For example, the matter of the Tartars and Wala sending 100,000 troops to the northern borders was suppressed by the Third Pavilion Elder.
If Zhu Youtang hadn't taken control of the East Chamber and the Jinyiwei with lightning speed, he would have been kept in the dark about such military and political affairs.
The cabinet was already like this, and the six ministers were not any better. They went to the capital hall every day to drink tea and chat, not asking about anything.
"Grand Secretary Wan, I heard that Wan Xi was killed?”
Wan An was now the chief assistant of the cabinet, followed by Liu He and Liu Ji. At this moment, the three cabinet elders were chatting.
Wan An's face twitched." Don't ask so many questions.”
"In this case, will the Empress Dowager lose her power?" Liu Ji was a little worried. Will there be a change in the imperial court?"
Wan An chuckled." A young emperor has just ascended the throne. He has to burn three fires. It's fine as long as it's over."”
"In any case, this fire can't burn us. What are you panicking for?”
Only after he said this did the inner cabinet and the six departments calm down.
Grand Secretary Wan was right. After the young emperor ascended the throne, the emperor would probably get annoyed after a few days of watching the mess in the court.
Not long after, the Meridian Gate opened.
The officials of the Hongzhi Dynasty respectfully entered the Meridian Gate and arrived at the Fengtian Hall. They stood on both sides.
"Long live the Emperor!"
A loud voice resounded throughout the Hall of Heaven's Tribute.
This was the first time the officials had seen the young emperor, and they all looked at him curiously.
"Everyone, please rise."
Zhu Youtang said lightly.
At this moment, he looked at the civil and military officials in the hall as if he was looking down at all living beings in the Ming Dynasty.
No matter what the officials thought of him, he was now the sky of this world!
"Grand Secretary Wan, is there something the cabinet wants to report?”
Zhu Youtang looked at the cabinet chief assistant, neither sad nor happy, and his words were cold.
Wan An hurriedly stepped forward." Your Majesty, it's nothing serious."”
Zhu Youtang nodded. Just as Wan An was about to return to the train as usual.
Zhu Youtang said," The Wala Tartars have deployed 100,000 troops to the northern border. Isn't this a big deal?”
"Is it because my Great Ming has been invaded by a foreign tribe and isn't worthy of your concern?”
Rumble!
At this moment, the officials were shocked!
Zhu Youtang's voice wasn't loud, but it was extremely penetrating.
Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and the other assistant ministers were filled with shock.
They had been resentful of the cabinet for a long time, but now that Empress Dowager Wan was in power, they had all been pushed back after sending up memorials to impeach the cabinet.
From then on, these capable officials could only lay low and not dare to have any complaints about the cabinet.
They placed their only chance to turn the tables on the little Emperor, praying that the new Emperor of Great Ming would not grow up to be crooked.
Even so, they were still worried about Tian Zi's personality.
After all, he had lived in the Cold Palace for seventeen years and was unfamiliar with everything outside. Was it easy to control the court?
But when Zhu Youtang opened his mouth, the boundless hope in their hearts suddenly burned.
This Da Ming might still be saved!
As long as the Emperor was not crooked, these old officials would definitely bring out all their greatest abilities and teach him carefully!
After all, all of Da Ming's power was in the hands of the Emperor.
Wan An was a little shocked. Just as he was about to retreat back to the train, he stood still on the spot.
"Your Majesty, the Wala and Tartar tribes are just small tribes and are not a threat. Thus, I did not dare to alarm Your Majesty.”
This was the Hongzhi Cabinet. They were all more shrewd than the last.
Zhu Youtang closed his eyes and thought for a moment before saying indifferently,"Elder Wange is old and forgetful.”
"Do you still remember the coup of the previous dynasty?”
Wan An's heart suddenly trembled and slowly began to beat like a drum.
He had thought that this matter would be so simple, but looking at Tian Zi's expression, he seemed to be planning to investigate further.
In the next moment.
"Since Wange is old and has a bad memory, then Zhen will grant you a few years of leave. Go back and recuperate before returning to serve the Imperial Court.”Zhu Youtang said.
Boom!
The entire court instantly fell silent.
During the first morning court session, everyone was trying to figure out the new emperor's personality so that they could decide how to continue living.
But who would have thought that the emperor, who had lived in the Cold Palace for seventeen years, would have such a strong personality and use medicine so violently!
This was a strike!
Wasn't he afraid of causing a crisis?
Wan An's body trembled. He never thought that Tian Zi would dare to attack the cabinet.
Gu Bo's calm face slowly twitched as he looked sideways at the other two assistant ministers and six ministers.
"Replying to the emperor, Wan Shoufu is only fifty-seven years old. If he is already old, then this old man is ashamed to be an official in the court.”
The cabinet's second assistant Liu Wei and Liu Ji stepped forward.
The six ministers also agreed.
The rest of the officials stood still, but their hearts were beating like drums.
Would the emperor have the courage to go to the cabinet and the six departments?
Everyone was looking forward to it.
One had to know that if the cabinet and the six departments were all dismissed, who would govern this country?
However, before everyone could think further, Zhu Youtang said indifferently,""Correct."
"Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, I order the three of you to enter the pavilion.”
"Today, present the six ministers to the court.”
"Retreat."
After Zhu Youtang finished speaking, he ignored the shocked officials and left the Fengtian Hall under the eunuch's lead.
The hall was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop!
The cabinet and the six ministers were all stunned.
"Your Majesty! I…I…"
When they wanted to say something to remedy the situation, Zhu Youtang did not give them a chance.
Such speed, such lightning!
Li Dongyang and the others were shocked by the new emperor's actions!
Good, good! Big Ming is saved!
