Zhu Yuanzhang looked coldly at the group of civil officials kneeling in front of him.
Listening to their chattering,
His mind was filled with yesterday's confrontation with Zhu Yunye and Zhu Yunwen.
No wonder Zhu Yunwen kept saying that he would rule the world by doing nothing.
The root of the problem was probably this group of civil officials!
The reason why Zhu Yunwen's thoughts could go astray was that
It was very likely that this group of people had led them astray!
Thinking of this,
He thought of what Zhu Yunye had said to him during dinner.
"Imperial Grandfather, since the Pre-Qin period,"
"Every time the Imperial Court falls,"
"There will always be groups like this and that,"
"They use benefits to gather some people to their side,"
"Form a bigger group,"
"To seek greater benefits for myself!”
"In the former Han Dynasty, this interest group was called the consorts!”
"In the later Han Dynasty, this interest group was called eunuchs!”
"By the end of the Han and Jin Dynasties, this interest group was called the aristocratic family!”
"During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, they were called the Wealthy Class!”
"The matter between the two Song Dynasties was called the Generals of Generals!”
"The previous dynasty was a very straightforward aristocrat."
"These people have placed themselves in the Imperial Court,"
"Crazy for his own benefit,"
"Even at the expense of the interests of the Imperial Court!”
"They only have themselves in their eyes, not the Imperial Court! There's no country!"
"These people are the real parasites!”
"Then what about this dynasty? What is the name of this dynasty?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked with interest,
"This dynasty is a group of civil officials that was created under the imperial examination system!”
Zhu Yunye replied,
"Oh? Why do you say that?"
"Shouldn't it be those noble organizations?”
Zhu Yuanzhang asked again,
Zhu Yunye shook his head and said,
"It's different. These civil officials have banded together through the imperial examination system!”
"Then he told the emperor that he would rule by bowing down to him."
"Turning around, you control the government!”
"Using the interests of the country to fatten themselves!”
"But those nobles are different,"
"They are attached to the imperial court and the royal family."
"All the glory and wealth come from the emperor they are loyal to."
"So no matter what, they can't be the first to betray the Imperial Court!”
"But those civil officials are different!”
"The new emperor will also need their help to govern the world!”
"This is why they have nothing to fear!”
After listening to Zhu Yunye's words, Zhu Yuanzhang agreed.
Those dignitaries were either people who had accompanied him to conquer the world.
Or the descendants of these people,
They had always been loyal to him.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang collected his thoughts.
After hearing Zhu Yunye's words, she said,
He was already mentally prepared for these civil officials to band together.
However, he did not expect it to happen so quickly!
He had just finished speaking yesterday, and today, these civil officials were going to give him a show of strength!
It seemed that the Imperial Examination reform was something that could not be delayed!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer hesitated.
He sneered and stood up.
"I'll give you a chance!"
"It's not too late to regret now,"
"We'll let you get up and stand back up,"
"If there are still people kneeling here later, then don't blame us for not respecting the relationship between monarch and minister!”
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this,
Everyone felt that the temperature in the imperial court had dropped by several levels.
It made people shiver.
They knew too well what kind of person Zhu Yuanzhang was!
This emperor was really good to the people.
However, he was really ruthless to these officials.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have done something like the Dengwen Drum and the Great Edict!
If he had to choose,
He would rather kill all the officials in the court than harm the people!
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous words,
Many civil officials who were still kneeling on the ground retreated.
They stood up and returned to their ranks.
Only the two hotheads were still kneeling there with their necks straightened.
He continued,
"Your Majesty! The sun and moon can prove my loyalty!"
"Abandoning the elder and establishing the younger is the path of self-destruction!”
"Your Majesty, please retract your order!"
"Another imperial grandson!"
"Otherwise, I will kneel here and die!”
The officials sighed in their hearts.
You guys are really courting death!
It's fine if you obstruct His Majesty from appointing an imperial grandson.
He actually dared to threaten His Majesty!
As expected, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, heard their conversation.
He said coldly,
"Since that's the case, let's see if the two beloved ministers are loyal or not!”
"Men, drag these two reckless things out."
"Behead and dig out your heart!"
Following Zhu Yuanzhang's order,
A few guards walked into the Hall of Heaven Tribute.
He dragged the two people kneeling on the ground out.
The court once again fell silent.
All the officials stood there in silence.
He didn't dare to make a sound.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at these ministers.
He felt a wave of disdain in his heart.
"In that case, we will make Zhu Yunye the eldest grandson of the emperor!”
"Your Majesty is wise!"
All the officials agreed,
Then, he turned around and knelt down to Zhu Yunye.
"Greetings, Your Highness, Imperial Grand Sun!”
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked at Zhu Yunye.
Her eyes were filled with love.
Zhu Yunye also looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.
His eyes were filled with confidence!
While Zhu Yunye was enjoying the attention,
One of them was like an injured cub.
It let out a series of wails.
This person was Zhu Yunwen.
As the true eldest grandson,
He had been groomed as a successor since he was young.
And he also believed from the bottom of his heart that he was the successor of this empire.
However, everything changed after yesterday.
The younger brother that she had never taken seriously.
I don't know where I learned these things.
She had bewitched her imperial grandfather.
She was very satisfied with Zhu Yunye.
But Zhu Yunwen still didn't think that the other party could threaten her.
Because he was the eldest grandson!
Moreover, Imperial Grandfather had specially invited him to stay for a meal!
Zhu Yunwen still firmly believed that she was the best candidate!
Until he got Zhu Yunye to be the eldest grandson of the emperor.
For this reason, when he heard that his imperial grandfather did not hesitate to chop off the heads of two ministers,
Zhu Yunwen realized that she had been deceived!
"Zhu Yunye!"
Zhu Yunwen roared in a low voice, her voice full of resentment!
