When all the courtiers saw that Zhu Cixiang wanted to deal with the matter coldly, they couldn't sit still.
Does the emperor think they are fools?
This is a naked insult to them.
After some calculations, a total of 136 officials came to Zuoshun Gate to cry and remonstrate.
It happened that Zhu Cixi was listening to the lectures of the elders of the Daru Pavilion in the Wenhua Hall at this time.
He heard the bad news just after class.
These civil servants are really vicious.
They chose Zuo Shunmen wherever they could cry and remonstrate.
You must know that Zuoshunmen is the only way back to the palace.
It is impossible to get around it.
If Zhu Cihong wants to return to the palace, he must face these crying officials.
Zhu Cixi had never experienced this kind of thing before, but if you look at history, you will find that this kind of thing is not uncommon.
Looking at the history of Qing Dynasty, Ming Dynasty civil servants can definitely be ranked first in terms of their ability to make the emperor unhappy.
If he disagreed, he would rebuke him directly, quoting scriptures and scorching the emperor to pieces.
The most famous one is Hai Rui.
This dear friend once wrote a memorandum to Emperor Jiajing, describing him as a once-in-a-lifetime emperor.
Emperor Jiajing was so angry that he immediately ordered Hai Rui to be imprisoned.
But he knew that if he killed Hai Rui, he would only be satisfied for a while, but he would leave a reputation as an unscrupulous and ignorant man.
And Hai Rui will go down in history for his remonstrance to death.
A smart man like Emperor Jiajing would not do such a loss-making transaction.
Therefore, Emperor Jiajing only threw Hai Rui into prison to let him eat in prison, but did not kill him.
After Emperor Jiajing died, his successor Emperor Longqing immediately released Hai Rui.
As a result, Hairun became the idol of all his direct ministers.
Although he spent some time in prison, he was not at a loss.
Of course, Hai Rui was by no means the first to speak out against civil servants, but this one was too harsh and famous.
At first, the civil servants may have been rushing to solve the problem, but over time they discovered that the emperor really had few problems.
In most cases, the emperor is quite reliable.
But they can't help but speak out.
This is an excellent opportunity to gain fame.
So they started to complain for the sake of complaining, and cursed for the sake of scolding.
The emperor was miserable.
He had done nothing extraordinary but was scolded for nothing.
You said it would be fine if you scolded me lightly, but the scolding you did was so harsh and vicious, it was really hard for people to accept.
Most people will scold back when they are scolded.
The emperor is the Son of Heaven, so he is naturally different from ordinary people.
The emperor usually dealt directly with ministers who violated the rules.
Of course, the emperor did not do it himself, but the Han general of Jinyiwei did it for him.
Officials who offended the Emperor's Longwei would be sent to the Meridian Gate with a post.
Tingzhang is a scientific name, but it actually means spanking.
Before Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, people did not take off their clothes when wearing the imperial staff.
Instead of taking off the clothes, a thick layer of felt is wrapped around the buttocks and legs.
The purpose of this is of course to protect the ministers.
After all, the imperial staff was only used to make the emperor feel bad and teach these pedantic civil servants a lesson.
There was no need to kill anyone.
Therefore, before Ming Wuzong, beating people to death with imperial sticks was rare.

But when Ming Wuzong arrived, the atmosphere of the court changed drastically.
This has to mention the famous Liu Jin and Liu Eunuch, the leader of the Eight Tigers who controlled the wind and rain in the Zhengde Dynasty.
Liu Jin was not from a good background, otherwise he would not have entered the palace as a eunuch.
However, Liu Jin was lucky and was sent by Emperor Hongzhi to serve the prince in the East Palace.
Zhu Houzhao was the only son of Emperor Hongzhi.
Anyone with a discerning eye knew that after the death of Emperor Hongzhi, the next emperor of the Ming Empire would be Zhu Houzhao.
Of course, Liu Jin knew this very well, so he hugged Zhu Houzhao's thigh tightly early, just waiting for Zhu Houzhao to ascend the throne and he would rise to the top of his life.
This is indeed the case.
After Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, Liu Jin became the admiral eunuch of Dongchang.
Some civil servants were displeased with Liu Jin.
They felt that this old eunuch encouraged the emperor to eat, drink and have fun all day long, which was really not a thing.
So they planned to submit a joint letter to force the emperor to kill Liu Jin.
It's a pity that they underestimated Liu Jin's status in the eyes of Emperor Zhengde.
In the end, Emperor Zhengde did not make up his mind to kill Liu Jin.
Instead, he was fooled by Liu Jin and ordered the Jin Yiwei to punish the officials who impeached Liu Jin.
The person responsible for prison sentences was Liu Jin.
This is incredible.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
In order to retaliate, Liu Jin not only did not wrap blankets on the buttocks of these officials, but also ordered people to take off their pants and slap their bare buttocks.
In this way, the normally aloof civil servants were disgraced, which was even more uncomfortable than killing them.
Moreover, if the board is hit directly on the bare buttocks, the damage will increase exponentially, and more and more people will be killed.
Since Zhengde, people in almost every dynasty have been beaten to death because of imperial sticks.
It can be said that the conflict between the emperor and the civil servants was irreconcilable.
The king treats his ministers like grass and grass, and his ministers regard him as an enemy bandit.
Naturally, the emperor was responsible for this, but the civil servants also had a great responsibility.
After all, many people just want to gain fame and leave a name in history, blindly selling straight words and speaking out.
The emperor doesn't owe you anything, so he will naturally resort to violence when he can't bear it anymore.
Zhu Cixiang must make a decision now.
It is very unlucky to have so many civil servants blocking the palace gate and crying and shouting.
They are shameless and Zhu Cixi still wants to be shameless.
After a preliminary investigation, people from Dongchang reported that those who participated in Zuo Shunmen's cry and remonstrance were all Beijing officials below the fifth rank, and there were no important officials from the Jiuqing and Sixth Ministries.
Zhu Cixi couldn't help but sneer.
As expected, they are a group of masters who are willing to risk their lives for fame.
Real bosses all know that there are a few things that they must not mess with.
The first one is the emperor's family affairs.
Look at history, Wanli established the crown prince, Jiajing recognized his father.
Which incident was not an earth-shattering commotion.
In the end, the courtiers who caused the trouble were severely beaten with a cane, and many of them were killed immediately.
But if you screen carefully, you will find that there are not many high-level officials among them.
Because these high-ranking officials are often elderly and have rich officialdom experience and life experience, they know that this is the emperor's inverse scale and must not be dismissed.
This stupid thing of trying to stand out is left to the stupid young people to do.
But this time, the civil servants went even further.
They directly scolded Zhu Cixiang as an unfilial son, which was more heart-wrenching than the rhetoric they used to scold Jiajing and Wanli.
If Zhu Cixiang endures this time, more civil servants will make trouble in the future.
So he couldn't bear it.

These people want to gain fame and power by stepping on me.
They are so young.
Zhu Cihong immediately issued an order to Jin Yiwei, ordering him to arrest all the civil servants who were crying and admonishing outside Zuoshun Gate and bring them to Meridian Gate to execute the imperial staff.
Since these people are seeking death, Zhu Cixiang will help them.
The emperor's authority could never be challenged by civilian officials in this way.
Even in order to fight against the Manchus, Zhu Cixiang had to stick to his words and act decisively
