The King of Han and the King of Zhao smiled as if they were watching a show. After a final glance, they took the lead and walked forward.
The two princes had to walk in front of the officials.
Zhu Gaochi looked at his son who stood up for him and held his son's hand in relief. He said,""Let's go, Xiao Er. Follow me to court. If there's anything you don't understand, just give me a look and I'll solve it.”
"Thank you, Father."
"Whoa, you've really grown up!”
……
What was surprising was that today's morning court session.
The emperor did not come, and the eunuch who passed the message said that the supervisor of the country would officially handle the affairs of the court.
As for His Majesty, he had already gone to the drill ground and the three battalions for inspection.
Eunuch Zhang looked at the Second Prince who was still standing below and hurriedly walked down."Second Prince, why are you still standing there?"
He was slightly stunned.
He saw his father, Zhu Gaochi, poke him in the waist and then pouted his lips towards the throne.
Only then did he understand!
Damn, only the Crown Prince could sit in the past.
But now, he was not the crown prince, nor was he the eldest grandson of the emperor.
He was already sitting in the 95th seat?
He took a deep breath. This was his first time sitting on the throne, so he couldn't embarrass his old friend who had transmigrated.
He walked to the main seat and sat on the dragon throne.
Other than the Crown Prince and the two princes.
All the officials bowed and paid their respects.
It wasn't Zhu Zhanji who was in charge of the country, but the man who wasn't in the position to hold the imperial power-Zhu Di.
The court meeting began.
A censor immediately jumped out.
"I, Cao Shangmeng, the Imperial Censor of the Left Qian Capital, have a report.”
His eyelids twitched!
Head cannon!
It was definitely not a good thing for the censor to jump as soon as he arrived.
"Report."
"This subject has written a letter to impeach the eunuch Zheng He for taking bribes and bending the law. He embezzled the imperial court's money from the voyage, deceived the imperial court, and deceived the Emperor. He has no shame and blinded his conscience. He even asked the imperial court to allocate funds to support this eunuch to go out to sea again in order to secretly fill his own pockets. He even ignored the fact that the opening of the sea allowed pirates to harass the people of our sea territory and completely did not care about the lives of our Ming people. If this eunuch is not removed, where will the imperial court's laws be? Where will the Ming Dynasty's heaven and earth be?”
"This subject…remonstrated to the death!"
Cao Shangmeng's words were fierce and his voice was full of emotion. It was simply admirable for his pure heart!
He placed the official token in his hand on the ground, took off his official hat, and placed it on the ground beside him.
Kneel and bow deeply!
She looked at the teacup in her hand and trembled.
In her previous life, she knew that Da Mingyan could act.
I didn't expect him to be so good at acting!
Each of them looked like a loyal minister, one more loyal than the other.
But in the end, it was all bad water!
Each and every one of them looked like they weren't afraid of death. If they were to really die, they would be more cowardly than anyone else.
"Sir, although I'm the country's supervisor and I'm still very young, do you really think I don't know what you're thinking?”
"Imperial grandson…why would the Imperial Supervisor say such a thing?”
Cao Shangmeng raised his head with a puzzled expression.
"Lord Cao was born in the coastal area. If I remember correctly, it's the Taizhou government, right?”
"Yes, what does supervising the country have to do with me impeaching Zheng He?”
He played with the hot tea in his hand and gently stroked the edge of the tea with the tea lid.
Zhu Zhanji said unhurriedly,""Cao Shangmeng was born into a business family in Taizhou. His father was Cao Kunzheng, the biggest silk merchant in the area. He specially used silk that was received cheaply from the mainland to hire the local poor people to weave. Then, in the name of doing good deeds, he donated it to the local temples and Taoist temples. However, he smuggled it out behind his back and then smuggled it to the sea.”
After a pause, Zhu Zhanji continued,""During this period, your family also secretly did a lot of business with the merchants of the overseas countries, right? Didn't you say that your family also went out to sea to do business? Why is it that your family can have relationships overseas, but the country's master can't?”
Every word was powerful and clear. His eyes were full of ridicule as he looked at Cao Shangmeng, who was kneeling on the ground and trembling.
After a while, Cao Shangmeng stuttered,""Reporting to the Country Supervisor, His Majesty previously said: 'The distant barbarians have traveled thousands of miles and are temporarily selling goods for profit. It is difficult to talk with merchants."Now the barbarians have come from afar to admire righteousness, but they have encroached on its interests. How much have they gained, but they have lost and humiliated the general public!"”
Cao Shangmeng wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and stuttered,""…This subject, this subject, this subject's father did not bypass the government. It was our Great Ming who appeased the distant people.”
He smiled. Luckily, he knew what Cao Shangmeng was like the moment he heard his name.
Regarding Cao Shangmeng's words, Zhu Zhanji's eyes were filled with anger as he rebuked,"Lord Cao, I didn't mention that your family has dealings with overseas countries or that you have to pay taxes. After all, my Great Ming doesn't have such taxes yet, so I naturally won't punish your family.”
"Thank you, Country Supervisor!"
As he spoke, Cao Shangmeng was about to pick up his black gauze hat and his official badge.
Little did he know that he laughed coldly and shouted sternly,"How dare you! Although your family has not violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, you have disrespected the Emperor and threatened to govern the country with your death. I am acting on behalf of His Majesty's responsibility. Seeing me is like seeing my grandfather, and you are looking down on His Majesty and disrespecting the Emperor. Men, throw Cao Shangmeng into the imperial prison for treason and immediately drag him out of the Meridian Gate and behead him!”
"What? Your Majesty! No, it was the country supervisor! Imperial grandson! I'm innocent! I won't impeach you anymore!"
"It's too late, pull him down!"
Cao Shangmeng was dragged out.
Seeing this, the ministers seemed to be on Cao Shangmeng's side.
She quickly came out to plead for mercy.
"Imperial grandson, show mercy!"
"You can't govern the country!"
"Lord Cao should not have been killed!"
"Why?" he laughed coldly.
"This subject is reporting to the country supervisor. Lord Cao is only loyal to the country and spoke a little fiercely. His heart can be seen and his crime is not worthy of death.”
"I agree! Zheng He's several trips to the West had caused the national treasury to be empty. This was a fact!”
"We are not convinced either. We will remonstrate to the death!”
A few adults jumped out.
Good heavens, he was forced to abdicate!
One of the officials from the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs even said bluntly,"The country supervisor is too young and doesn't seem to be suitable for this position. I want to ask Your Majesty to depose the position of the imperial grandson and hand it over to the benevolent Crown Prince!”
He looked at these guys.
One by one, they basically came out to force the abdication.
If you don't kill him, it's hard to establish your prestige.
There were many officials in the world!
He looked coldly at the ministers on the ground who were pleading for mercy. He asked coldly,"Milords, are you trying to force the abdication? Imperial Grandfather has just left to inspect the three battalions, and now you're planning to bully me for being young? What kind of crime was this? Let me tell you, sirs, you should be executed for despising the current Emperor!”
After saying that, the dozen or so ministers who jumped out one after another were also dumbfounded.
Did he want to kill them too?
How was this possible?
The law does not punish the people.
Not to mention, since the late Taizu period, Ming Dynasty did not kill remonstrants.
However, the cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness that followed still exceeded their expectations.
"Jinyiwei, drag out all these ministers who despise the Emperor and execute them!”
"Ah!"
"What?"
"Country Supervisor!"
"Crazy, crazy!"
"Cruel and heartless!"
"Butcher!"
All the officials were shocked.
At this time, Zhu Gaochi also quickly stood up and shouted,""No, Country Supervisor!"
