Above the court
After discussing with the officials to no avail, Liu Qian walked up to Mo Li's body, and asked, "I don't know if the national teacher has a good strategy?"
After Mo Li pondered for a while, he decided to help Liu Qian again, and immediately whispered to Liu Qian for a while, and said to Liu Qian what he had said before with Zhu Youzhen, and said, "That's what you say." ”
Hearing Mo Li's words, Liu Qian was so shocked that he almost screamed. Fortunately, Liu Qian's concentration was good, and he hurriedly stabilized his mind, and asked uncertainly: "Is this true for the national teacher?" If he says so, the lower officials are afraid that they will become the target of public criticism in this court. ”
Mo Li smiled slightly, "You just have to say so." ”
Liu Qian was apprehensive, but decided to take a gamble. Immediately got up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to fix this chaos. ”
The chaotic and noisy court suddenly fell silent, and all the civil and military officers looked at Liu Qian, not knowing what his good plan was.
Liu Qian and Mo Li's whispers, Zhu Youzhen saw it in his eyes, and immediately agreed: "I don't know what Liu Qing's good plan is? ”
Although Liu Qian wanted to gamble, he still had to give Zhu Youzhen a preventive shot first. So he said first: "Weichen is afraid that this plan will be disrespectful to Your Majesty, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive your sins first." Otherwise, the minister would not dare to speak. ”
As soon as Zhu Youzhen heard this, he knew that this plan must have been made by Mo Li, so he agreed: "Liu Qing said that it doesn't matter, the widow forgives you for your innocence." ”
After receiving Zhu Youzhen's promise, Liu Qian put his heart in his belly, and replied calmly: "According to Weichen's opinion, Your Majesty should first abolish the six ministries, re-establish the Department of State Government and the Department of Agricultural Technology, vigorously develop agriculture, and take the lead in solving the problem of food and clothing for all people." ”
Although Liu Qian decided to take a gamble, he still didn't dare to let Zhu Youzhen give up the vast territory as soon as he opened his mouth, so he had to start with the six departments first.
After listening to Liu Qian's words, Zhu Youzhen was nothing, but the Shangshu Order of the Sixth Department was in a hurry, and hurriedly retorted: "Your Majesty can't." The three provinces and six departments have risen since the Western Han Dynasty and have continued to this day. This Liu Qian is in charge of Jinyi Wei, if the six ministries are abolished, his family will be the dominant one at that time. Your Majesty, Wei Zhongxian's lessons from the past are still vivid, and I hope that Your Majesty will learn from them. ”
Zhu Youzhen bowed his hand and said, "Zhongqing is at ease, and listen to what Liu Qing says." ”
Although the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were opposed, it can be seen that Zhu Youzhen was not angry, Liu Qian immediately felt that there was a play, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is the case." After we vigorously develop agriculture and solve the problem of food and clothing for all the people, all the people will inevitably yearn for it, and no one will want to rebel. Even if there are still rebels, they will certainly not gather a large number of troops to fight against our Celestial Empire. ”
Wu Qing, the secretary of the ministry, opened his mouth and asked: "Even if what Lord Liu said is reasonable, but we only need to vigorously develop agriculture, why do we need to abolish the six ministries?"
Liu Qian first looked at Zhu Youzhen, and seeing that his face had not changed, he immediately continued with confidence and boldness: "Lord Wu is calm and don't be impatient, and listen to Liu's careful words. ”
Immediately, Liu Qian told Mo Li about the part of the abolition of the six ministries.
After listening to Liu Qian's account, although the ministers were dissatisfied, they also knew that there was nothing wrong with what Liu Qian said, but because Liu Qian's proposal involved his own interests, there were still a large number of civil and military refutations.
The reactions of the civil and military officials were all expected by Liu Qian, and he did not panic, and immediately said: "Liu is willing to take the lead in giving up the management of Jinyiwei and ask His Majesty to take charge in person." ”
After hearing Liu Qian's words, a kind of civil and military could no longer find the direction to refute Liu Qian, and one by one they were like dumb people eating coptis, so they had to swallow it themselves.
Seeing that Liu Qian actually took the initiative to give up the rights in his hands for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youzhen immediately changed his opinion of Liu Qian, and secretly decided that he would definitely reuse this person in the future. So Zhu Youzhen immediately clapped his hand and said: "Okay, the widow thinks that Liu Qing's plan is very good, so he will follow what Liu Qing said." Since Liu Qing is willing to set an example, the widow will naturally not treat you badly. When the matter is settled, the widow will surely be rewarded. ”
Just when everyone thought that this matter was going to be decided like this, Yang Kaitai, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said: "It is nothing to change our Ministry of Industry to the Department of Agricultural Technology, but how can I have a million acres of territory in the Ming Dynasty...... The old man made a slip of the tongue for a while, and hoped that His Majesty would forgive his sins. ”
Zhu You listened to Yang Kaitai's first half of the sentence, and then knew what Yang Kaitai was going to say, which was tantamount to paving the way for his own plan. Immediately waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Lord Yang can just say it if you have any questions." The widow also wants to know what else is wrong. ”
Yang Kaitai arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, if it is not that Old Chen is arrogant, he is really powerless." How vast is the territory of our Ming Dynasty? With the manpower of our Agricultural Technology Department, it is really impossible to carry out large-scale farming throughout the country. ”
After listening to Yang Kaitai's words, Zhu Youzhen pretended to frown, and after pondering for a while, he looked at Liu Qian and said, "I don't know if Liu Qing has a good plan?"
Liu Qian hurriedly replied: "This is what Weichen is going to say next." The minister thinks that His Majesty should take a more long-term view, and for the prosperity of my Ming Dynasty in the future, he should have the consciousness of a strong man breaking his wrist. ”
Zhu Youzhen was puzzled: "Oh? What does Liu Qing mean by this? Qing thinks that a widow should break his wrist?"
Liu Qian immediately replied: "The minister thinks that Your Majesty should abandon the territory of the rebellion by himself, leaving only the land of Shuntian and Yingtian. After finishing speaking, Liu Qian hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed again and again: "The minister is guilty, and the minister is dead." ”
After listening to Liu Qian's words, Zhu Youzhen fell into deep thought. Originally, according to Mo Li's statement, it should only be the land of Shuntianfu, but this Liu Qian said that he would leave two places, which is different from what Mo Li said.
Mo Li was also slightly surprised after hearing this, but after thinking about it, it was okay. On the contrary, the area of Yingtianfu is fertile, which is more suitable for farming.
As soon as he thought of this, Mo Li stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Lord Liu said is not unreasonable. With the current national strength of our dynasty, the land of Gongwei and the two provinces should be more than enough, and the territory of Tianfu should be fertile, which is more suitable for agricultural development. We might as well abandon the rest of our territories and hold on to these two territories while we watch the other rebels fight each other while we take the opportunity to recuperate. Even if the development of agriculture is not satisfactory, we can take advantage of the advantages of the other to hide our strength. When they are almost done fighting each other, it will be up to us to reap the benefits of the fisherman. Wouldn't it be nice to let the Qing soldiers enter the customs and let the Qing dogs fight the rebels. ”
This is the first time that Mo Li has spoken above the court, and Zhu Youzhen should obey it, not to mention that this is what they said before.
Although Zhu Youzhen thinks so, other civil and military forces don't think so. A military general was the first to stand up and shouted angrily: "It's just nonsense. I think you're a spy sent by Qinggou, right? How can I let you give away the territory that my ancestors of the Ming Dynasty worked so hard to conquer?"
Hearing the words of this general, all the civil and military forces echoed it. Although they didn't dare to refute Mo Li openly, now that someone was taking the lead, they would naturally echo it.
Seeing that this person is as majestic and burly as an iron tower, his temper is also fiery and abnormal. Mo Li frowned and asked, "I don't know who Your Excellency is, and what is your official position?"
The big man replied loudly: "A certain is Xiang Junhu, the general of the Ming Dynasty." If there is any trick, it will follow. A certain general who protects the country, how can he be afraid of you?"
Listening to Xiang Junhu's words, Mo Li laughed, and said in his heart: "This military tiger is afraid that he has some misunderstanding about himself, and he actually thinks that he is a god stick." But he didn't say much, but looked at Xiang Junhu fixedly.
Being stared at by Mo Li a little uncomfortable, Xiang Junhu shook the armor on his body and asked, "What do you see? ”
The more Mo Li looked at it, the more he felt that this person was interesting, and immediately asked, "You, not bad." Do you want to go further in your career and become a town prince?"
Xiang Junhu's eyes glared at Mo Li angrily, and he shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! The appointment of officials has always been appointed by the Ministry of Officials. Although the ministry is no longer there, it also needs to be appointed by His Majesty. When a certain merit is enough, His Majesty will reward him, how can it be that you, a god, will be decided?"
When Mo Li heard this, he looked at Zhu Youzhen and asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know if I can decide on this matter?"
Zhu Youzhen saw Mo Li's questioning and hurriedly replied: "The national teacher has decided, there is no need to ask the widow." ”
Xiang Junhu saw that Zhu Youzhen was so obedient to a magic stick, and he was immediately a little depressed. But as soon as his head drooped, he immediately felt that something was wrong. So Xiang Junhu shouted angrily at Mo Li: "It must be you, the god stick, who coerced Your Majesty." After that, he looked at Zhu Youzhen and asked, "Your Majesty, is he coercing you to force you to comply?" If it is inconvenient for you to speak clearly, then blink your eyes. ”
Maybe God made a joke with Xiang Junhu, and at the same time as he asked, Zhu Youzhen was bluffed by him and really blinked.
"Sure enough, you dare to coerce Your Majesty. The thief is the head!" Xiang Junhu saw that Zhu Youzhen really blinked, and he was superior in force, and immediately smashed Mo Li's face door with a punch, and was ready to smash the thief to death with one punch.
Zhu Youzhen didn't expect that he would blink, and he didn't expect Xiang Junhu to say that he would do it, but it was too late to stop it, so he could only close his eyes unbearably. Naturally, he couldn't bear to see Moli being beaten, but he couldn't bear to see Moli bullying Xiang Junhu.
Mo Li didn't expect Zhu Youzhen to blink, let alone that this military tiger would dare to do it to himself, and he didn't react in time. When Mo Li noticed Xiang Junhu's fist smashing into the door in front of him, it was too late to dodge. When the true qi is about to protect the face door.
Xiang Junhu smashed his fist on the True Qi shield, directly smashing his own bones and tendons. But Xiang Junhu didn't exhale in pain, just covered his right hand on his hand, and cold sweat flowed down his head.
Looking at Xiang Junhu, Mo Li shook his head helplessly, exchanged for a bottle of black jade intermittent cream, and applied it to his right fist regardless of how Xiang Junhu resisted.
