Daming: I really don’t want to be an emperor!

It's not that they didn't want to stop it, but there was no time to stop it. Moreover, if they were splashed with feces, it would be a waste of time. Anyway, it was the Lu family that was splashed, and it would be better for them to let their friend die than for themselves, so it didn't matter if they didn't stop it.

Mrs. Lu was still cursing the untouchables and didn't notice at all that a man was throwing a scoop of manure towards her.

Lu kept chattering when suddenly a spoonful of manure was thrown straight at his face and filled his mouth.

"vomit……"

Before Lu could react, he vomited immediately.

Many people also vomited. Seeing this scene really makes people want to vomit.

In the palace, the court had already been dismissed.

Eventually, Cao Ming, the Left Censor-in-Chief, was promoted to the position of Deputy Prime Minister of the Cabinet.

Zhu Yunhuan did this so that the Anti-Corruption Bureau could grow stronger as quickly as possible. After the Anti-Corruption Bureau grew stronger, Cao Ming would be forced to step down.

After all, he had to ensure that after the Jinyiwei suppressed the Huaixi Group, the Anti-Corruption Bureau would be able to succeed in restraining the Jinyiwei in a short period of time.

After the Huaixi Group withdrew from the court, they rushed to the Duke of Kaiguo's Mansion to find Chang Sheng.

Zhu Yunhuan left Jiang Lin and Cao Ming alone and went to the imperial study to discuss matters. Zhu Yunhuan changed out of his crown and went to the imperial study. Jiang Lin and Cao Ming had been waiting for a long time.

The eunuchs from the Eastern Palace also came to report Chang Sheng's affairs to Zhu Yunhuan.

After hearing this, Zhu Yunhuan nodded slightly.

"After all, the Lu family was once a member of the royal family. What the founding duke has done is indeed excessive. Pass the order to fine the founding duke another year's salary as a punishment." Zhu Yunhuan ordered.

When Lu was demoted to a commoner, her name was naturally removed from the royal family's genealogy, and she was naturally no longer a member of the royal family.

Why was he punished again? Because he and Lan Yu had caused trouble in the Eastern Palace before, and Zhu Yuanzhang had already fined him one year's salary.

This punishment is just like tickling.

Apart from those stones in the toilet of the Censorate, is there any official in Beijing who lives on salary?

"Yes." The eunuch accepted the order.

“In addition, I have ordered the founding duke to tell him that Zhongshan is where the emperor’s mausoleum is located. It is against etiquette for a minister like him to lead people up there to pay homage. It should be rejected.

However, legal principles are nothing more than human feelings. The prospective founding duke went to pay tribute to his brother-in-law, sister, and nephew in a private capacity, but this would not be an exception.

In addition, I asked him to pay tribute to my parents and brother on behalf of my nephew, saying that our country is busy and it has been difficult to be both loyal and filial since ancient times. "

Zhu Yunxun continued to give instructions.

It is indeed against etiquette to go as a subject. If the emperor and the crown prince go with all the officials, then there will naturally be no problem.

But if the minister goes alone, it would be against the rules.

Tomorrow Zhu Yunhuan will receive hundreds of memorials impeaching Chang Sheng for violating the rules.

So, let it go in private.

There is no doubt about it. Chang Sheng went to pay tribute to his sister, brother-in-law and eldest nephew, not to pay tribute to the late crown prince, the late crown princess and His Royal Highness Prince Yu.

The laws of the Ming Dynasty do not prohibit offering sacrifices to relatives, even if the relative's burial location is somewhat special.

In this way, no one can find fault.

As for why Chang Sheng didn't let him go, Zhu Yunhuan also understood the considerations behind it.

There are still undercurrents in the capital city, and it's not peaceful.

If he leaves the palace, something bad will definitely happen, and Zhu Yunhuan doesn't want to reveal his true identity too early.

"Yes." The eunuch took the order and went to convey the decree.

Afterwards, Zhu Yunhuan ordered Jiang Li to be called in first.

Jiang Lin and Cao Ming were both waiting outside the imperial study to be called. Zhu Yunhuan wanted to talk to them one by one and it was impossible for them to meet together.

"I am Jiang Li, the commander of the Imperial Guard, and I am here to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Jiang Li came in and bowed.

Zhu Yunxun hummed, "No need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Jiang Li expressed his gratitude.

Zhu Yunxun asked, "Jiang Li, I want to ask you, what does the Jinyiwei do?"

"The Embroidered Uniform Guard is the sharp sword in the hands of the emperor. Wherever the sword points, it is invincible!" Jiang Lin replied.

"So, I can't hold this sword anymore?"

Zhu Yunhuan's sudden words frightened Jiang Lin so much that he fell to his knees.

"I have spoken out of turn and I am guilty of the death penalty. The Jinyiwei are your highness's henchmen. We will bite whoever your highness tells us to bite. You are your majesty and the one in the Qianqing Palace is the emperor." Jiang Lin kowtowed repeatedly, with a strong desire to survive.
