Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

The other five officials were not intimidated at all. They all stood up with determined eyes.

Hear the words.

Zhu Yunhuan paused, his expression slightly frozen as he cursed inwardly, "Damn it! He's really trying to find a way to get in. He's like a stone in a latrine, stinky and hard! I've been away from court for so many days, and you're still here!"

As the Military Censor just said, the Six Censors were official positions established by Zhu Yuanzhang in the 24th year of Hongwu. They were an independent supervisory system outside the Six Ministries and the Censorate. Together with the Censorate, they were called "Kedao Officials", forming a dual-track supervisory system in the Ming Dynasty.

Or you could say.

This group of people was selected by Zhu Yuanzhang to be specifically responsible for eradicating corruption in the officialdom.

From the 24th year of Hongwu to the first year of Kaiqian.

Only two years apart.

This group of Six Departments Censors were equivalent to the first group of Six Departments inspectors selected by Zhu Yuanzhang himself... and of course they were the most ruthless.

Just one word, ginseng!

Except for those people in the Censorate.

They were the ones that gave Zhu Yunhuan the most headaches, and they were also the ones he avoided.

On the Censorate's side, Zhan Hui is a seasoned veteran. Yuan Tai, the Right Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, had been enlightened by Fu Youwen before, and he has calmed down a lot recently. However, the people in the Six Departments' Censorate system are still stubborn.

This group of people are stubborn.

But they were also the ones Zhu Yuanzhang specially selected to monitor the officials. They were the ones who actually got things done. Their eyes were indeed sharp and they could supervise the Ming officialdom and curb malpractices to a great extent - this was very necessary for the huge and complex bureaucratic system - so Zhu Yunhuan really couldn't touch them.

He looks faint, but he's not really faint.

"Forget it, forget it. If you can't afford to offend, can't you just avoid it?"

Zhu Yunhuan glanced at the six officials who were ready to criticize him, and said in his heart.

Then he threw a sentence in front of all the ministers: "Talk about it later, talk about it later."

After saying that, he turned around and went inside the Qianqing Palace, and asked the eunuch at the door to quickly close the door with a "bang"...

Looking at the tightly closed vermilion lacquer door.

Whether it was the six officials who stood up to advise and remonstrate, or the other court officials who came to beg Zhu Yunhuan to attend court, fearing that Zhu Yunhuan would completely neglect the matter of attending court... they were all extremely helpless in their hearts.

Especially the Six Departments Censors who had prepared a lot of words and were about to speak... Although the vermilion lacquered door that closed cleanly did not hit their noses, several of them felt a headache.

Their faces even turned red from holding their breath, and they exchanged indescribable glances with each other.

In the end, it could only turn into a series of helpless, long sighs: "Alas..."

What can be done?

Can you rush into the Qianqing Palace to educate His Majesty?

As for the others here, they weren't as rigid, radical, or stubborn as the Six Departments' Secretaries. So... after a moment of hesitation, they ended up turning their attention to the Six Departments' Secretaries:

"Tsk! Don't you know why His Majesty suddenly suspended court? His Majesty just relented and agreed to resume court... and yet you don't seem to understand what he's doing!"

You're working for someone, can you blame your boss?

At this time, he would have to put the blame on his colleagues. From ancient times to the present, the principles have always been the same, and Zhu Yunhuan actually understood this point.

"Master Zhang, what are you talking about? Many things have happened in the past few days, right? Shouldn't I speak up?"

"If I don't tell you, I will be betraying the kindness of Emperor Taizu Hongwu and his trust in us!"

"..."

Being accused like this by others, the Six Departments' Censors naturally felt a little aggrieved. They were able to become censors because they were straightforward, not afraid of offending others, and stubborn.

So naturally they think they are not wrong.

"Even if what you said is true, you should still speak in a proper manner, right? Is now the right time to say this?"

"That's right! The most urgent task is to persuade His Majesty to restore order in the court!"

At this point, the speaker lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty's temper, don't you understand yet? If he really makes a habit of stopping court, I'll see how you can persuade him!"

"That's right! Compared to other things, it is more important to get His Majesty back to court and maintain the normal operation of the court!"

"You really don't know how to be subtle when you speak!"

"..."

As the saying goes, choose the lesser of two evils. Zhu Yunhuan's behavior up to now can be described as "full of bad deeds" - he is like a program that does not follow normal rules at all and is full of various super-big bugs.

So for most people: no matter what other bugs there are, just let the program run first.

As everyone held their own opinions, a quarrel broke out in the square outside the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yunhuan, who was lying on a soft couch in the Qianqing Palace and eating melon seeds, was amused by what he heard. He slowly spat out the melon seed shells and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Am I taking their KTV a bit too far?"

Just as the ministers were arguing fiercely in the square outside.

A fair face that was quite familiar to everyone here came from a distance.

Ma Sanbao's face was slightly flushed, and he came quickly.

Everyone present knew about this most trusted eunuch around Zhu Yunhuan - he was very special. He was not frivolous and impetuous like the ordinary eunuchs in the palace, and he was not at all arrogant even when he was in power.

It rarely looks like this on weekdays.

I don’t know what important things are hidden in my heart.
