Wanli 1592

Chapter 780 Go and Bring Chang Luo
Inside the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yijun sat on his throne with a calm expression.

Of course, if his hands were not clasped tightly on the armrests and the veins on the back of his hands were not exposed, he would be really calm.

The aging Empress Dowager Li was sitting beside him.

She is very quiet, just like the time when she accompanied the young Zhu Yijun to the court and listened to the government more than ten years ago.

More than 30 major civil servants and Wu Xun, headed by Shen Yiguan, stood inside the palace, and elite soldiers guarded outside the palace, blocking the palace guards. At least they would not leave until they understood what was going on inside.

"Chen Chen has always paid respects to His Majesty and the Queen Mother."

Headed by Shen Yiguan, more than 30 civil servants and Wu Xun knelt together to pay their respects to their emperor for the last time.

"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager."

Shen Yiguan was not at all surprised that Empress Dowager Li would appear here. Although Empress Dowager Li was old and didn't want to participate in government affairs anymore, she was still the only person who survived to the present in the original Daming Iron Triangle.

Due to the policy of small doors and small households, among the mothers of the Ming Dynasty, except for Empress Ma in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, she was the most famous and the most powerful.

In the early days of Wanli, when the country was less suspicious, she joined forces with Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao to combine the power of the inner court and the outer court unprecedentedly. During those ten years, it almost created the only upward development of the Ming Dynasty since Yongle Xuande. period of glory.

This woman has the side of a strong woman, but her background in a small family and the environment of the Ming Dynasty restricted her ambitions, making her not dare to continue to pursue something, so she retreated.

But even so, she still has a certain degree of influence in the current Great Ming Dynasty.

She was here, although she closed her eyes and did not speak, but the officials were a little bit worried.

Unlike Empress Dowager Li's peaceful appearance, Zhu Yijun's calm face instantly turned ferocious.

"Minister? Are you a minister? See me? Shen Yiguan, are you mocking me?"

Zhu Yijun tried his best to suppress his anger.

"The ministers are naturally ministers, Your Majesty knows that the ministers are always loyal to Daming."

"Loyal to Daming? Are you loyal to Daming?"

Zhu Yijun gritted his teeth: "Shen Yiguan, you betrayed me, you are a rebellious minister of Ming Dynasty! Rebellion!"

"Your Majesty! I am loyal to Daming, not Your Majesty alone!"

Shen Yiguan raised his head and looked directly at Zhu Yijun: "As the second assistant of the cabinet, I am in charge of government affairs, so naturally I can't turn a blind eye to arrogant people and arrogant things, I have to be responsible for all people in the world!

His Majesty believed in the villain's slander, misunderstood the ministers, and even wanted to lure foreign troops into Beijing to question the ministers!His Majesty!What is the difference between this and He Jin recruiting Dong Zhuo to lead troops into Beijing at the end of the Later Han Dynasty?How does His Majesty know that thief Xiao doesn't have Dong Zhuo's heart?

It is easy for your majesty to get rid of the ministers, but after you get rid of the ministers, who else does your majesty think will protect your majesty?Thief Xiao has the desire to seek rebellion and usurp the throne, how should His Majesty respond? "

Zhu Yijun was furious, stood up abruptly, pointed at Shen Yiguan and cursed.

"You fart! Shen Yiguan! Talking nonsense! I misjudged you! I was blind! I misjudged you! Dong Zhuo? Dong Zhuo will tell me what happened outside the capital that I can't see? Dong Zhuo will Let me be honest? If Xiao Qing is Dong Zhuo, who are you?

Shen Yiguan, and you bastard rebels!Don't put gold on your face anymore, you are all rebels, you are all rebellious ministers!I am incompetent, unable to keep the foundation of my ancestors, and let the world fall into the hands of you rebels!This is my incompetence, I have nothing to say!

I don't blame heaven or earth, I can only blame myself, my own incompetence!Blame myself for not listening to the words of the old Shoufu, blame myself for not taking the first step to execute Luo Sigong, you traitor Ling Chi! ! "

Zhu Yijun panted ferociously, and suddenly fell back on his throne.

Luo Sigong lowered his head, remained silent, and only took a step or two back, not sure if it was due to a guilty conscience.

"Your Majesty has misunderstood the subjects so deeply that the subjects feel chilled."

Shen Yiguan said calmly: "I have dedicated decades to the country, only to receive such treatment and evaluation from Your Majesty, I am heartbroken."

After all, Shen Yiguan knelt down on the ground.

"My lord, I implore Your Majesty to abdicate!"

Zhu Yijun was short of breath.

"you……"

"I implore Your Majesty to abdicate!"

Wu Xun, more than [-] civil servants in the hall followed Shen Yiguan and knelt down, shouting loudly.

"I implore Your Majesty to abdicate!!"

Hundreds of officials outside the hall knelt together and shouted loudly.

"It's reversed! It's reversed! It's really reversed!!"

Civil servants, military officials, those who know him, those he doesn't know, those who are close to him, those who are not close, those who hate him, those who don't hate him, at this moment, they are all asking him to abdicate and let him leave this position.

Zhu Yijun's eyes widened, and his anger became even worse. Just as he was about to yell, Empress Dowager Li, who had kept her eyes closed all this time, suddenly opened her eyes and stood up.

"Okay, don't say any more."

Empress Dowager Li didn't look at Zhu Yijun, and stood facing Shen Yiguan and the officials: "Shen Yiguan, Aijia asks you, what is the purpose of what you did today? Is it really just to let the emperor abdicate? Not to change the dynasty? Or to kill the emperor? Emperor?"

Zhu Yijun trembled all over.

Shen Yiguan quickly kowtowed.

"The empress dowager misunderstood the minister, but the minister just couldn't bear to see the great Ming fall, so he decided not to be infamous forever, but also to set things right, abolish the innocent king, welcome the wise one, and create a prosperous Ming Dynasty again."

"so what?"

"I would like to enshrine the emperor's eldest son, Chang Luo, as the new emperor, and assist the new emperor in creating a prosperous Ming Dynasty."

Shen Yiguan knelt down on the ground.

Even though he had expected it, at this moment, Zhu Yijun still felt that his brain had instantly become blank and unable to think.

And Empress Dowager Li seemed very calm.

"You're just trying to establish a new emperor, not seeking power? You won't imitate Sima Yi's story and become Emperor Xuan?"

Empress Dowager Li looked at Shen Yiguan very seriously.

Shen Yiguan kowtowed again: "I dare not, I am deeply favored by the Ming Dynasty, and my family is full of loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty. What I have done this time is really a last resort to eradicate traitors. Whoever dares to covet the throne of the Ming Dynasty, no matter whether it is the minister Family members, or anyone present, minister, will punish him!"

"You will protect the Daming royal family, and will you continue to do so in the future?"

"Even if the minister is dead, the minister will never let anyone hurt the Ming royal family."

Empress Dowager Li closed her eyes, then slowly opened them.

"After the emperor abdicates, how will you arrange it?"

Shen Yiguan said: "Your Majesty, please abdicate as the Supreme Emperor, and live in Yuxi Palace in Xiyuan to spend the rest of his life. One should serve as usual, and one should serve people and other expenses will be arranged by the cabinet. According to the practice of the dynasty, the Supreme Emperor is still the emperor, and the ministers are still the same. Respect the Supreme Emperor."

Empress Dowager Li took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly.

"May you remember today's words."

Zhu Yijun's eyes widened, and he looked at his mother in disbelief.

Shen Yiguan's pupils shrank, and he knelt down on the ground again.

"I dare not forget!"

Empress Dowager Li nodded.

"Go and bring Chang Luo, to Aijia."

"According to the order!"

Shen Yiguan immediately ordered Luo Sigong to bring Zhu Changluo into the hall.
