Yingtian Prefecture, Fengtian Hall.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you. Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty! Long, long live Your Majesty!"
The early morning court session in winter was particularly arduous. The faces of the civil and military officials who had been waiting outside the Meridian Gate for a long time all looked a little weathered.
Fortunately, there was enough charcoal burning inside the Fengtian Hall, and it was as warm as spring, so the cold was finally alleviated a lot.
Zhu Yunhuan, sitting high on the dragon throne in a majestic dragon robe, said calmly: "My dear ministers, please stand up." Only then did everyone stand up straight, lower their eyes, and prepare to get through today's morning court.
Compared to the previous morning court.
The atmosphere in the morning court is now much more peaceful, with less tension and fewer quarrels.
After all, no matter how many ridiculous things Zhu Yunhuan had done before, it was a fact that he allowed all the poor people in the Ming Dynasty to wear clothes. It was also a fact that he allowed many Ming people who could not survive the winter to survive this winter, and even the next, the next, and many winters to come.
Many people are still in the state of "getting up in the middle of the night to give themselves two big pussies" and feel guilty.
As for the many speculations that are spreading throughout the government and the country.
For example, Liu Sanwu, Zhan Hui, and Fu Youwen controlled the government, and someone was using the young emperor to manipulate the Ming Dynasty... etc. These were things without evidence and no conclusion was drawn. Everyone would only talk about them in private and seek verification from various sources. It was impossible to bring them to the table and directly diss Zhu Yunhuan.
Therefore, during the morning court session in the cold winter, except for some important matters that had to be discussed, everyone was happy to leave early.
however.
But when everyone was tacitly looking forward to the get out of class ending early.
Ma Sanbao's familiar voice rang out: "My Lords, let's begin to play!"
Hearing this voice, many people raised their eyes at the same time, and a low uproar was heard in the Fengtian Hall.
There was surprise in almost everyone's eyes - it was nothing else, this eunuch Sanbao did not say the four words "retire from court without capital" today - something big or small was going to happen today.
All of a sudden, everyone became excited.
The current emperor is not an easy person to deal with. If he doesn't speak, he will either cause a big trouble or, like last time, give them two big slaps on their faces that were red from the cold wind.
But this time they have learned their lesson.
After Ma Sanbao finished speaking, everyone fell silent, one by one, to avoid the embarrassing scene like last time.
Zhu Yunhuan took a glance.
He raised his eyebrows in satisfaction and said directly: "My dear ministers, I want to reduce the power of the princes!" The Fengtian Hall was already very large, and everyone was silent, so Zhu Yunhuan's voice seemed even louder and even echoed.
And when his voice fell.
"What??"
"Cut down...cut down the feudal lords!?"
Everyone was stunned on the spot, with confusion on their faces. It was obvious that they had never expected Zhu Yunhuan to bring up this matter - reducing the power of the feudal lords, this was a huge deal! A single move would affect the entire body!
Of course, there are still a few people who know the truth.
This time, Liu Sanwu, the head scholar of the Hanlin Academy who had always been quiet from the previous dynasty to the present, was the first to stand up and say, "I second the motion!"
His tone was very serious, and some people even heard a hint of indignation in it.
Of course, he heard it right. Liu Sanwu had been holding it in for a long time, because he only believed in one thing - those who were obsessed with power, intended to rebel, and subvert orthodoxy were committing treason and should be put to death!
That's why Liu Sanwu acted out of character this time and was so anxious.
Zhan Hui and Fu Youwen, the two men standing at the front of the line of civil officials, saw Liu Sanwu's enthusiasm and couldn't help but secretly complain in their hearts: "How come this old man is so quick this time?"
