Chapter 203: An Unexpected Wave of Opposition
Cold sweat broke out on Zhu Xianxuan's head, and his whole body trembled. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
If the guards of the clan are completely owned by the military department, then he and his palace will definitely be completely torn apart by all the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty!
Thoughts swirled through his mind, and he glanced behind him from time to time.
But the general trend of the imperial court cannot be stopped, and the few people who Zhu Xianxuan bought were silent at this time, as if they didn't see him.
Since the general trend is coming, Zhu Xu didn't ask the king anymore in a fake way, and said directly: "Quasi-play." ”
Sun Chengzong also knew that this matter had to be neat, and immediately said: "The minister obeys the order!" In addition, I hope that all the guards in the country will be rectified to ensure the safety of all clans and officials and people in the Ming Dynasty! ”
Zhu Xu squinted at Sun Chengzong, and said quietly: "Quasi-play!" ”
Sun Chengzong also looked up at Zhu Xu, and saw that his eyes had a deep meaning, and suddenly his heart moved, and he said quickly, "The minister asks for 800,000 taels of silver in Liaodong, and build Ningyuan, Jinzhou and other defense lines to ensure the stability of Shanhaiguan." ”
Zhu Xu didn't think about it, and said, "There are still three million taels in the interior, Liaodong is in ruins, Shanhaiguan must be guarded, Cao Huachun, immediately allocate two million taels to the military department!" ”
Cao Huachun immediately bowed to Zhu Xu and said, "Obey the order!" ”
The courtiers were stunned, the topic shifted too quickly, and they didn't have time to refute it. Sun Chengzong looked at Zhu Xu, and said, "Your Majesty, Liaodong has always been at odds with each other, and most of the failures in Liaodong have been caused by this, and the minister suggested that there should be no strategy." ”
Zhu Xu looked at Sun Chengzong, a smile flashed in his eyes, and said, "Quasi-play." ”
"The minister is against!"
Finally, a minister reacted, and the military department said urgently: "Your Majesty, Liaodong is a very important matter, and you must not indulge arbitrarily. ”
Zhu Xu didn't give them a chance to react, and said directly, "This is over, let's discuss the mine supervisor." ”
"Your Majesty, the ministers are against it!"
Zhu Xu said that it does not mean that the minister will let it go, Yang Lian also stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, now that the thief chief has been defeated and retreated, will he not attack for a while and a half, and the minister suggested that the internal money should be used in the Guannei." Liaodong is rotten, and it should be rectified by taking the opportunity not to use too much silver. ”
The imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate stood up one after another and loudly seconded the proposal.
"The minister seconded the proposal."
"The minister agrees with Lord Yang's proposal! The matter of Liaodong is very important, and it should not be decided in a word, so the minister suggested that the cabinet and the six ministries should discuss it together, and then discuss it in the court. ”
"The minister also agrees, the thief chieftain has retreated this time, my morale is high, and the minister thinks that the government affairs should be repaired as soon as possible, instead of delaying in Liaodong."
Seven or eight people in a row all agreed.
Zhu Xu frowned slightly, looked at King Xin, and said: "King Xin, in the future, there must be a clear charter for the court meeting, and if I say 'pass', I must not continue to entangle." After the next dynasty, you list a Chen, engraved outside the palace gate, if someone violates it must be severely punished! ”
"Your Majesty!"
Suddenly, someone stood up in the matter and objected fiercely: "The courtiers are loyal to the country when they talk about state affairs, how can the emperor be jealous of the courtiers because of his words!" ”
"Since ancient times, there have been countless loyal ministers who have been spattered with blood and gold pillars, and the emperor has been invited to be far from the villain!"
"If you listen to it, you will be clear, and if you listen to it, you will be dark, and the emperor will be asked to give up this proposal!"
"Your Majesty, the ministers are against it!"
"The minister is against!"
"Please ask the emperor to think twice!"
This time, the opposition was almost all over the entire court in just a few breaths, and even Sun Chengzong, Gu Bingqian and others frowned, even Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu all changed their expressions slightly.
Zhu Xu sat there, his gaze swept over the ministers who were overwhelmed, and skipped the eager eyes of Fu Changzong and others.
After Ye finished speaking to the senior courtiers, he stood up, looked up at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, the old ministers think that this proposal is inappropriate and should be withdrawn." ”
Yang Lian also came out again, and said: "Your Majesty, the history books are covered with blood, and the Ming Jun is all chest wide and can accept ten thousand words. The faint monarch is all pampered by the ministers, and he listens to and believes. The emperor must not repeat the mistakes of the past! ”
Gu Bingqian looked at the ministers who bowed down in the court, and among them were his people, it was the emperor who provoked the anger of the people. Thinking of Wei Guanghui and Shengyuan Inn who were pulled out, he gritted his teeth and stood up and said to Zhu Xu: "The minister thinks that the emperor's discussion is very appropriate, the court has always had no rules, one thing can be argued for several days, and the delay in border affairs and government affairs is unknown." It is the ministers who believe that there should be rules in case of trouble, and they should not come arbitrarily, quarrel endlessly, and mislead the country and the people. ”
Gu Bingqian's words are very reasonable, but they are in fact on the opposite side of the courtiers. The vast majority of the courtiers' power comes from the voice of the court, and once the 'voice' is restricted, it means that their power will be limited. Correspondingly, the imperial power will be expanded!
This is completely contrary to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty, and they have always tried to limit the power of the monarchy!
"The minister opposes Gu Ge Lao's words!"
Sure enough, the engineering department stood up and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, because it is a taboo for the country to abolish taboos, the ministers hope that the emperor will open up the way of speech and drive away evil spirits!" ”
"The minister also opposes Gu Ge Lao's words!" The imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate opposed it simultaneously, and his voice was almost fierce: "Since ancient times, there have been hundreds of schools of thought contending above the court, in order to be perfect, and the emperor must not use this to block the mouths of the courtiers and mislead the state affairs!" ”
Soon, more people stood up and fiercely refuted Gu Bingqian, and even put the hat of 'faint monarch' on Zhu Xu's head.
Zhu Xu didn't expect such a proposal to provoke such a big opposition, sitting there, his fingers tapping on the table, his eyes calm with a little smile.
This is the second time he has been to court, and if he can't hold it down, the third time will be even more unbearable.
It's just that the opposition of the courtiers this time seems to be really difficult to refute, even if he suppresses it with force, it will only make the opposition even louder.
This time, not only the original courtiers were present, but also the former cabinet head Ye Xianggao, as well as the representatives of the vassal kings. If he retreats, it will be even more difficult to move in the future.
The hall was quiet, and the courtiers all looked up at him, even if they bowed down, they still raised their heads, and looked straight at him, with a look that Zhu Xu would never give up if he did not withdraw his fate.
Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the tabletop, the corners of his mouth hooked up a little smile, looked at Zhu Youzhen, and said, "Brother Xinwang, what do you think of this matter?" ”
King Xin was also against Zhu Xu blocking the courtiers' words in his heart, and when he heard this, his brows furrowed, and he said, "Your Majesty, the ministers also think that this should not be regulated, but if the courtiers quarrel too much, it will also delay state affairs." The minister suggested that everything should be discussed by the cabinet and the secretary before going to the court, so that it can be resolved quickly. ”
Zhu Xu squinted, and in the words of King Xin, it seemed to be peaceful, but in fact, it was a distrust of him, and he intended to take power to the cabinet.
Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged, and he turned to Sun Chengzong and said, "Elder Sun Ge, what do you think?" ”
Sun Chengzong's mind was the most contradictory and complicated, not only wanted to open his words so that the emperor would not be blinded, but also wanted to handle government affairs more efficiently, he hesitated a little and stood up and said: "Back to the emperor, the minister agrees with the words of the king." ”
Zhu Xu turned to Yang Lian again and said, "Mr. Yang, what do you think?" ”
Yang Lian came out of the ranks, and said decisively in his voice: "The minister also agrees with His Royal Highness Xinwang's words. ”
Zhu Xu nodded, turned his gaze back to Gu Bingqian, the first assistant of the cabinet, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, I will follow the king's performance." (To be continued.) )
