Chapter 215 The Prince Supervises the Country, Angrily Rebukes the Ministers, Resigns Civilly and Militaryly, and the Government and the Public Are Shaken!

In the imperial palace, on the way to Shengming Palace.

Yu Dadao, from the Maoshan lineage of Leichi Taoist Temple, looked at Lu Mingyuan and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness is about to open a palace and leave the cold palace. How do you feel?"

"It's not bad. My father must have valued my handsomeness. I have long believed in Gu's integrity. The incident with the witch is indeed not the fault of this prince. Perhaps at that time, my father had the idea to make me the prince. According to my plan, the Cold Palace is just a test for my father."

Lu Mingyuan looked confident and expected.

This Yu Dadao seemed to be here to receive him, but in fact he was the eyes and ears sent by his father.

He still needs to do a good job in his appearance.

It can be known based on the information of the hexagrams.

Speaking for the country and condensing the prince's image has attracted the attention and vigilance of his father.

If the father knew that his son was not only ambitious and capable, but also wanted to confront his father and not take his father seriously.

This unfilial son actually wanted to kill him and become the emperor himself, and everything would be ruined.

Therefore, as a prince, he must act as a filial son in the face of the current situation where he is not strong enough to compete with his father.

Obeying his father's will in everything and becoming the other party's tool was what his father thought of.

If he had just come out of the cold palace and made a great contribution to the country, and then started to hide his weakness and keep a low profile, his father would definitely be on guard and worry about whether his son was planning some palace coup behind his back.

You can be smart, you can be capable, but you can't openly confront your father, and you can't threaten the other party, otherwise you will be punished by the Holy Emperor.

If he wants to truly gain a foothold in Great Yan, he must strike hard and stir up this muddy water, instead of doing nothing.

Although his background was strong, Emperor Yong'an could change many things with just one word.

It makes no sense for a general of an army, a prime minister of a dynasty, and a mountain chief of a court to dismiss him as soon as he is dismissed from his official position.

But this is the authority of the emperor, or in other words, the terrifying prestige of the father who created a prosperous age in Great Yan!

You have to pretend to be stupid and don't know everything your father is doing behind his back, so that you can fool him.

Therefore, after receiving the position of prince, Lu Mingyuan seemed very calm in his heart. He was a prince himself, and now that all the other princes died suddenly or lost their qualifications to become heirs, everything was logical.

Speaking for the country is nothing more than proving to the world that one is innocent and capable.

With brisk steps, several people quickly arrived at Shengming Palace.

Shengming Palace is the main palace of the Dayan Dynasty. It is the political center and national symbol of Dayan. It is located in the middle of the palace, facing south and north. It is the palace of ten thousand palaces in the world of China.

I don't know how many imperial edicts are issued from here on weekdays. Any military order can wipe out a small country.

There are majestic red walls with black eaves and tall stone staircases with dragons. Thousands of Qilin Forbidden Army guards guard the gates of the Sifang Palace, standing tall with spears in hand. Making Shengming Palace extremely solemn, the nine bronze tripods with dragon patterns in front of the palace stand outside the door of Shengming Palace, telling where your destiny lies today.

Lu Mingyuan stepped onto the stone stairs in front of Shengming Palace, looking in a daze.

Memories flooded through my mind. The last time I came here was the day when the demon girl was released. She was tied up with five flowers, knelt in the Shengming Palace for interrogation, and finally taken to prison.

Unexpectedly, five hundred and seventy-six days have passed.

I'm here again.

This time, he came to supervise the country.

All I can say is that things are unpredictable.

Looking back, we can see the towering Dayan Dragon Wall, the endless palace square, and the neat and symmetrical stone statues, which all highlight the grandeur and solemnity of the Dayan Palace.

It would indeed be an extraordinary thing to become the emperor of this dynasty and become the Ninth Five Supreme Being.

With this thought in mind, Lu Mingyuan wore a golden prince python suit, with a straight posture, raised his head, and stepped into Shengming Palace with his left foot first.

Ziyun, Hongwan and Baihe were waiting outside the hall.

After Lu Mingyuan entered, he saw hundreds of civil and military officials. In his eyes, the cultural fortune of this place was soaring, the military fortune was good, and the luck was coming like a violent storm.

If an ordinary person stepped into Shengming Palace, he would be so frightened by the coercion that he would pee his pants.

This is also the reason why many foreigners from the countryside who have never been to the imperial court feel intimidated when they come to Dayan.

The fortune of the Great Yan Dynasty is not something that ordinary people can compete with. Each of these high-ranking officials and military officials in imperial purple is placed in various states and counties of Great Yan. They are all beings with noble status, and may be mentioned in future history books. He left a lasting mark, but in the court, it was just a place.

In Lu Mingyuan's opinion, this luck was insignificant.

The prince's fortune, coupled with the ten-thousand-year fortune of the three religions, on him is ten times more than the sum of these people combined, and it's not just that!

Lu Mingyuan was not affected at all and walked to the center of the hall with a calm expression.

Looking up, there is no weak person.

The Dayan Dynasty had been standing for 368 years. It was the time when the country was at its peak. Officials were born to depend on the dynasty, so their natural strength would not be too bad.

Lu Mingyuan found that compared to a year ago, when he was captured and knelt in the center of the hall, these ministers looked on with cold eyes, gloated, ridiculed and ridiculed.

It has become the surprise, surprise, shock and appreciation now.

Lu Mingyuan looked calm and slowly activated "Guan Xin".

Many thoughts came from Lu Mingyuan's ears.

"Is this the new crown prince Lu Mingyuan? He seems to be quite talented. He is more handsome than the cowherd in the brothel."

"It looks much different than a year ago. Not only is he taller, is he still the same playboy he was before?"

"The changes have been too great. Now that I have stared at it for a long time, I don't even recognize it."

In the main hall of the palace.

Lu Mingyuan's expression was extremely serious, and he glanced at the ministers calmly. He was in a good mood, compared to the civil and military officials in the main hall who were all very heavy-minded.

Especially after Lu Mingyuan appeared.

This pair of cold eyes made everyone present feel terrified.

[In the Shengming Palace, many people have lower cultivation levels than the life master. They trigger "Feng Cry", which slightly increases their strength and releases their pressure. 】

Words appeared in front of Lu Mingyuan's eyes, and he was surprised. He didn't expect that "Feng Ming" could have such an effect.

"Feng Ming" can crush people whose strength is lower than his own.

It turns out that the real purpose is not to kill the enemy, but to frighten the enemy.

Lu Mingyuan suddenly realized.

"I will pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a thousand years old."

At this moment, everyone spoke together, but Lu Mingyuan did not speak or move. Everyone could only maintain the number of salutations.

It can be seen that Lu Mingyuan is still very angry, and the anger in his heart has not been eliminated.

Ministers expressed their understanding of this.

Anyone would not be happy if he was treated as a son-in-law and used to make peace with an enemy.

"Ah."

Lu Mingyuan sneered: "Awesome."

"It's really awesome."

"No one in the civil and military dynasties could have guessed the true purpose of the marriage in the Great Ming Holy Kingdom."

Faced with Lu Mingyuan's strange aura, many people still did not understand the meaning of these words.

"Your Highness, do you know the true purpose of Sheng Ming's marriage?"

The Minister of Rites came out and asked curiously.

The purpose of this move by the Demon Kingdom has been analyzed many times on the spot.

But the results are just that. The group that advocates humiliation is the rarest. There are also those who think that the empress wants to cause chaos within Dayan. The even more outrageous ones think that the empress of Ming is interested in Lu Mingyuan's male lust.

Although looking at it now, His Royal Highness does look good, the last result is undoubtedly outrageous.

The chief minister, Yuan Xuangang, was sitting on the head seat. He looked at Lu Mingyuan and asked in a deep voice: "Your Highness, you might as well speak directly."

"This should be the famous Chief Assistant."

Lu Mingyuan asked with a smile.

He glanced at the cabinet and found that there was no sign of his grandfather. There was exactly one person missing in the entire cabinet.

Did he resign?

I thought that this moment would come slower and my grandfather could stay in the cabinet for a while, but this idea was still a bit naive.

It happens to be the time of cabinet reorganization, so it would be nice if grandpa is gone.

As expected of my grandpa, he has a keen sense of smell.

This at least protected his political future.

Taking the initiative to resign is undoubtedly to avoid the Holy Emperor's liquidation.

Lu Mingyuan looked at the civil and military officials and said calmly: "The demon country's move is precisely to steal our national destiny."

"Such a major matter almost led to a catastrophe. If the Holy One had not foreseen the national destiny of the Great Yan Dynasty in advance, it would have been stolen by the Demon Kingdom."

"You are truly loyal and patriotic!"

"If a big mistake is made, you will not regret dying!"

Lu Mingyuan opened his mouth to curse. He was actually fine before, but after seeing this group of people, he couldn't help but get angry.

Not even close.

I was almost going to enter the Demon Country.

These cabinet ministers are all responsible for this, and now is the time to settle the score!

He was thinking before that why the Great Ming Empress voluntarily gave up her military initiative in Dayan and proposed a marriage?

It wasn't until he saw the prince's appearance and the fate of the three religions condensed into reality that he thought of the key.

One's own luck, to a certain extent, is dragon's luck.

Could Empress Da Ming want to steal Great Yan's national fortune for herself?

Now this is the most reliable explanation.

As long as he is abducted by Empress Da Ming, all his father's plans will be ruined, and Dayan's national destiny will be in ruins. Without spending a single soldier, he can disintegrate Dayan from the inside out. This is comparable to sending a large army to conquer Much more reliable.

This is the best plan!

Empress Da Ming's thoughts are indeed extraordinary.

However, it was obvious that the father had seen Empress Da Ming's intention, so it was naturally impossible to use the real prince to marry her.

So he waited for the fake prince to die suddenly, deliberately angering the Empress of the Underworld and ruining the marriage plan.

Who would have thought that Empress Da Ming could still endure it and still wanted to marry her into the family by herself. She was really persistent. Only this day's explanation could perfectly explain all the doubts.

If you look at it this way, this Empress of the Underworld actually wants to suck herself dry!

As the Prince of Great Yan, he now stands between Emperor Great Yan and Empress Great Ming.

The two of them are obviously playing a game now, and he is the bargaining chip that both of them want.

Lu Mingyuan punctured this layer of window paper, which could not only demonstrate his authority as the prince, but also his own abilities. His high profile at this time would not make his father suspicious.

Being too low-key made him suspicious.

At this moment, all civil and military officials in the court did not dare to speak. They all lowered their heads and remained silent.

Especially the Ministry of Rites.

It was even more deathly silent.

"Someone is coming."

At this time, Lu Mingyuan held the imperial edict in his hand, opened his mouth with cold eyes, handed the imperial edict to Dayan's reader, and announced:

"From today on, this prince will take over the power of supervising the country. This is the holy decree. Anyone who dares to disobey can take a step forward."

After a while, no one dared to move.

Lu Mingyuan nodded with satisfaction and said: "Send the ministers headed by the Minister of Rites, the left minister and the right minister to the Mingdeng Department."

"All those suspected of marriage in the Ministry of Etiquette will be sent to the Mingdeng Department for thorough investigation."

"The Minister of Rites has been temporarily dismissed. The current cabinet will be reorganized. If there are no problems, we will discuss the matter again."

"From now on, Tonggu will set up the Prince's East Palace to assist and supervise the civil and military officials. At the same time, he will dispatch the imperial army to guard the palace. I don't need any eunuchs in the palace. For all major events, I have the right to kill first and report later."

After saying this, Chao Wenwu was suddenly shocked.

They can accept the reshuffle of the Ministry of Rites. After all, such a big thing happened. To put it bluntly, even if it has nothing to do with the Ministry of Rites, they still have to bear some responsibility.

After all, the Ministry of Etiquette is responsible for the marriage, and it would be unreasonable not to severely punish her.

However, it is a bit exaggerated to move at the level of the Minister of Rites. The Minister of Rites is a heavenly official. Basically, everything about Dayan has his shadow in it. Basically, only the Holy Master can touch it.

The cabinet was reorganized and the chief minister was dismissed. Although it was only temporary, this temporary situation was even more terrifying. There were so many people waiting for this position.

And isn’t this reorganization too much? There are so many things that will not be dealt with in the future. If the cabinet is reorganized, then who can be in charge?

Once the cabinet is reorganized, I don't know how many people will be implicated because of this matter, and countless forces, large and small, will fall. It's such an exaggeration.

Is this really what the Holy One means?

Isn't that what Lu Mingyuan meant?

However, as the imperial edict was read out, everyone knew that it was the Holy One who wanted to reorganize, not the Crown Prince.

Lu Mingyuan finally understood why he was asked to announce the news. His father was using him as a shield.

By reorganizing the cabinet, forcing his grandfather away, and leaving a mess for himself, he could only be miserable.

The Holy Spirit reorganized the cabinet. Even if everyone had opinions, it was hard to say anything.

After all, the emperor is unhappy. If you find a reason and want to change a batch, just change it. What can you do?

However, the establishment of the Donggong Mansion is outrageous.

This was completely added by Lu Mingyuan himself.

Isn't this just a knife hanging over their heads?

Is the prince trying to insert his own power?

It is enough for the Great Yan Dynasty to have Jian Taisi.

Now there is the East Palace beside me. How can this not make people panic?

On the surface, it's just assistance, but isn't it just supervision?

As a result, some people soon stood up to oppose it.

"I beg your Royal Highness to think twice."

"It is okay to set up the East Palace, but supervising the actions of all officials will make them fearful. In the future, no one will dare to speak out, which will bring trouble to the government. Furthermore, even if a supervisory agency is established, ordinary people cannot be allowed to govern. Confucian temples should be invited The stream of righteousness reigns.”

Hearing these sounds, Lu Mingyuan was also expecting it.

No one dared to object to his father's orders, even to reorganize the cabinet.

And I just proposed to establish the Donggong Palace to recruit talents and supervise all officials, which made these guys sweat.

It has to be said that my father's thoughts on these people have been calculated accurately.

This means that the words do not have enough weight and prestige.

Even if he speaks for the country, he is the prince of Dayan.

But in the eyes of these officials, he is still just a junior, at best an outstanding junior, and not qualified to dictate matters in the court.

Lu Mingyuan explained: "The main purpose of the East Palace is to recruit talents for the court. It will not interfere too much in the court's work. At most, it will supervise the work."

At this time, Chief Assistant Yuan Xuangang said expressionlessly: "There is nothing wrong with establishing the East Palace. However, the functions and powers of the East Palace need to be reported to the Holy Emperor. In any case, staff cannot be in charge and supervise hundreds of officials. All supervisory powers are controlled by great Confucians. , otherwise people will be in panic, which will be detrimental to the government and the great inflammation."

A great scholar is in charge?

Aren’t those your eyes and ears?

So I just won’t place my own people there, right?

Lu Mingyuan suddenly laughed angrily.

He has not yet formed the direct line of the crown prince, but the incoming chief assistant has already started to stop him on behalf of his father.

What a good dog!

Lu Mingyuan said coldly: "How can you be sure that this marriage incident has nothing to do with Confucianism? The great Confucianism mentioned by the chief minister is so trustworthy?"

"Stop talking nonsense to me. If you don't agree, just retire and return home."

Lu Mingyuan was quite straightforward.

I took a step back, but if this group of people still refused to give in, then stop playing.

But when I say this.

However, Yuan Xuangang looked determined and slowly took off the official hat on his head.

"Since His Highness the Crown Prince insists on doing this, my minister Yuan Xuangang will resign today."

Yuan Xuangang spoke.

For a moment, the hall was extremely quiet.

Almost suffocating.

The dignified chief minister of Dayan resigned from office?

This incident was enough to cause turmoil in the dynasty.

But the next moment another voice sounded.

"My minister Chen Yongxin is willing to resign and return to his hometown."

It was the voice of the official minister.

Chen Yongxin spoke, but his words were better and not as strong as Yuan Xuangang's.

Soon a voice sounded.

Almost all the civil servants took off their hats.

The general also gritted his teeth and hesitated, but finally took a deep breath and took off his official hat.

Because if His Highness the Crown Prince insists on doing this, they will have no good harvest if the East Palace is successfully built in the future.

One day, one courtier.

These people were destined to be Emperor Yong'an's ministers, not his, Lu Mingyuan's.

Sooner or later something will happen to them.

Instead of doing this, it is better to take advantage of someone to take the lead and cause trouble together.

Anyway, the law does not blame everyone.

this moment.

Lu Mingyuan was silent.

But the anger inside was like a volcano erupting.

Furious.

"good."

"OK."

"It's really good."

Lu Mingyuan did not get angry, but spoke slowly, but everyone knew that the newly crowned prince was very angry.

"In that case."

"Somebody come!"

When Lu Mingyuan spoke, his eyes instantly became extremely cold.

"All those who resigned will be detained in Shenxin Hall. If they show no intention of repenting within three days, they will be removed from all official positions and replaced by their subordinate officials."

"Then Chief Aide Yuan Xuangang was detained in the Kyoto prison for review on the grounds of colluding with the Demonic Kingdom. He will not be released without Gu's will."

"The Ming Deng Division, the Third Academy, and the Forbidden Army have joined forces to investigate these officials thoroughly. I want to see how honest and noble you are."

As soon as this statement came out, it could not but be called turmoil.

The Imperial Guards on both sides looked at each other and glanced at the people who had resigned. They occupied one-third of the court. They were all high-ranking officials and there were not enough manpower.

"What are you doing standing still?"

The Prince's Jade Seal was suspended in the palm of Lu Mingyuan's hand, suppressing it straight down. The coercion swept across it, and many forbidden soldiers suddenly woke up.

At this moment, a big man with thick eyebrows and big eyes appeared at the entrance of the palace. Zhou Pingfu, the commander of the imperial army, scolded his men: "You still don't listen to His Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Do it quickly."

The prince has the power to supervise the country, so it is reasonable and reasonable to deal with it this way.

It's just that the approach is a little crazy.

Lu Mingyuan looked at the ministers being taken away one by one.

He frowned, and the idea of ​​forming his own direct line became more and more intense.
