Hua Mulan scoffed at Zhao Junsheng's thoughts, "That's a nice thing to say, if those ministers want to marry their daughters to you alive or dead, you're just afraid that you will wake up laughing from your dreams!" ”

"Hey, hey, what do you say? All the good things are said by you! ”

Zhao Junsheng doesn't argue with Hua Mulan, but it's still okay to fight.

As soon as Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan returned to the palace, they were immediately blocked by Cui Hao, Gao Yun and others.

"Ministers, see the king!" And they all bowed together.

Zhao Junsheng took a look, "Yo, what important affairs do you have so neatly?" ”

Gao Yun stood up and said: "King, just now you asked Shen Hui to draft a secret decree, but did not issue an edict through Zhongshu Province, the old minister thinks that this move is quite inappropriate!" When the king set up Shangshutai to formulate government decrees and edicts, and set up Zhongshu Province to issue edicts and implement government decrees through Zhongshu Province, now the king himself has broken the rules, and in the long run, Shangshutai and Zhongshu Province will not gradually become nothing? ”

Of course, Zhao Junsheng knew that he was not in accordance with the rules, but if everything was done according to the rules, then many things would not be done, and even important things would be delayed, and of course the ministers hoped that the king would abide by the rules, and according to Zhao Junsheng's approach, it would be to seize the power of these ministers.

This is the almost irreconcilable contradiction between the monarch and the courtiers, any king will involuntarily want to concentrate all the power on himself, and the ministers of course refuse, if everything is decided by the king, this must be bad for the country, the king is also a human being, it is a human being who will make mistakes, and the consequences of the king's mistakes are extremely serious.

Zhao Junsheng said to the ministers: "Shen Hui did this because he deliberately confessed. According to the information collected by the black-clothed guards, Li Shun is contacting all the princes, and has even sent people to Jiankang to meet the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, the Yunzhong Imperial Court must have ulterior motives, and Lone is worried that they will join forces to deal with our Qianguo together, if they are allowed to succeed, then our Qianguo will face unprecedented troubles and crises, so we must find a way to destroy their purpose! ”

"The secret order to Xiangzhou is to let him cross the river to Luoyang to see the captain's family, and try to persuade the captain's family to return to our Qianguo, so as to destroy their purpose. If the edict is issued through the Zhongshu Province, it will definitely attract the attention of the world, how can it be kept secret? Therefore, some edicts cannot be formulated through Shangshutai, let alone promulgated by Zhongshu Province, as the so-called rules are alive, people are alive, and they must be used flexibly! After the orphanage, I will let me go to Shangshutai to reapply for the official edict for the record, and Shangshu Province will also send it for the record! ”

Zhao Junsheng can explain so much, it can be regarded as giving the ministers a step, and everyone also knows that this matter can only be stopped in moderation, so they stopped and asked for resignation one after another.

When these ministers left, Mulan's face was very ugly, "These ministers are really full, this kind of thing has to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, I think husband, you are too lenient to them, so they will kick their noses in the face like this!" ”

Zhao Junsheng smiled indifferently: "You can't say that, each has its own responsibilities, some of the things you and I do sitting in this position may think are right, but they think they are wrong!" It's just a difference in the perspective and starting point of the problem, why do you think you are right, and why do you think they are wrong? Whether it's right or wrong, it's going to take a while to know! ”

"It's not necessarily a bad thing for a minister to dare to come out against the king, and if all the ministers are submissive and flattering, wouldn't you be happy?"

Hua Mulan thought for a while, nodded and said, "What you said seems to make sense, but who can stand it with so many of them?" ”

Zhao Junsheng took Mulan's hand and said: "Although speaking outright makes our face look bad, but this is a good thing, if these people play yin, we will have a headache!" And these people are not all wearing a pair of pants, but now that this matter is together, that's why they came together! Besides, not everyone in the court thought that I had done something wrong in this matter, and there must have been other ministers who thought I had done the right thing. Look at it, tomorrow's court meeting will definitely be lively! ”

Early the next morning, Zhao Junsheng pulled Hua Mulan up and asked her to go to the court with her.

Mulan said, "I won't go, lest those ministers say something nasty in front of me again!" ”

"How can you not go? If you don't go, who will share the fire for me? The ministers are forcing me to take a concubine again, how should I deal with it? ”

Hua Mulan said: "You just say that you already have a candidate in your heart, just say it, see what they say!" ”

Zhao Junsheng hurriedly said: "There is no shadow, let me say it at the court?" If Miss Wan doesn't agree, my joke will be big! We still have to think about this in the long run, what do you say? ”

Mulan thought for a while, got up and said, "Okay! ”

The two got up to freshen up and dress up, and then came to the main hall of the Qinzheng Hall under the guards of the eunuchs and palace maids.

"Ministers, see the king and princess!" All the ministers bowed down and chanted together.

Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan sat on the left and right sides of the throne, and raised their hands: "Flat!" ”

"King Xie, princess!" The ministers got up and retreated to both sides of the hall according to the civil and military forces.

Gao Yun stood up first and put up a board and said: "King, the old minister thinks that the former dynasty is still a place for the king and his courtiers to discuss major state affairs, and the princess is a female streamer, just take care of the inner palace, and you can't come to the former dynasty casually if you have nothing to do!" ”

Zhao Junsheng glanced at Gao Yun and said to the ministers: "Since Gao Qing talked about this matter, Gu also has something to tell you!" The world has been in turmoil for a long time, and there have been endless wars for a hundred years, and now our country has finally settled down, but there are still many orphans, widows, and childless old people in various places, these people have to live, and the court can not watch orphans freeze to death and starve to death, unable to raise them, nor can they watch widows stay widowed for a lifetime, let alone let the lonely old people have no one to support! ”

"In addition, there are a large number of beggars in various places, and some of them are indeed forced to beg in this way to make a living, while some are lazy, and some beggars make a fortune by begging, which is a shame! The imperial court cannot allow those who are really difficult and desperate to fend for themselves, nor can it allow those who are lazy to live by begging all the time, let alone let those who take advantage of the sympathy of the people use begging to achieve the purpose of collecting money! ”

"Lone plans to set up orphanages and nursing homes in various places to shelter local orphans and raise them until they reach adulthood; shelter those lonely and widowed elderly who have nothing to support and let them live in nursing homes for the rest of their lives; In addition, it also encourages and organizes widows to re-establish their families, as the so-called widows have many rights and wrongs in front of their doors, and if they remarry, there is no right and wrong. It can also change the bad social atmosphere in the local area! ”

"For those beggars, no matter what kind of beggars they are, Lone plans to send people to take these beggars into custody, organize them to clean up the river, build the gallop road, open the mountain to mine, let them do the handicraft work if they have the craft, let them work hard if they don't have the craft, everyone has worked for three years, and the salary is paid a month, and when they have worked for three years, they will have the capital to settle down, isn't this a good thing?"

"These things, Lone intends to do in the name of the royal family, and it is Lone's princess who presides over this matter, so in the future, she must be present to participate in the proceedings!"

Li Yuande, the head of the household, stood up and shouted: "The king is benevolent, the minister thinks that letting the princess preside over this matter can show the princess's virtuous virtue to the subjects of the world, and is a model of motherhood in the world, and second, it can show the court's goodwill to the subjects of the world!" ”

Li Song stood up and held up the board and said: "The minister seconded the proposal, this good deed will be praised by the subjects of the world and will be remembered forever!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

None of the ministers present were stupid, and only a fool would stand up against such a thing, which would be reviled by the subjects.

Zhao Junsheng smiled: "Okay, since all the ministers agree, this matter is decided!" ”

Hua Mulan is also very kind, Zhao Junsheng didn't get angry with her beforehand, but she also hopes that she can do something beneficial to the country and the people, and she can't ask for it.

Yin Mao Xiuzhi of Qianjing Mansion asked: "King, to do this, you must have a name or a yamen, and you must give the princess a suitable position!" ”

Zhao Junsheng thought about it and said: "It's called the Qianguo Charity Federation, and the princess should be the first charity ambassador of the Charity Federation!" ”

This matter passed like this, and Hua Mulan also justifiably had the qualifications to go to court and sit on the throne with Zhao Junsheng.

The eunuch stood up at the right time and shouted: "The ministers have something to do, and they have nothing to retreat from!" ”

Li Yuande immediately stood up with the board and said loudly: "King, the minister impeached Gao Yun and Cui Hao······ Waiting for a cadre to commit a crime, bluntly saying that the king is wrong, there is a suspicion of forcing the palace, it is really a great disrespectful crime, the minister thinks that this wind can not last, must be severely punished, in order to set an example! ”

Mao Xiuzhi also jumped out and pointed at Gao Yun, Cui Hao and others and scolded: "Gao Yun, Cui Hao······ The king is a king, but you have no consciousness of being a courtier, thinking that you have the merit of being a dragon and a founding minister, you can ignore the etiquette of the monarch and the ministers and wantonly commit the following crimes? Can you know the guilt? ”

After Mao Xiuzhi, a large number of ministers and officials came forward to impeach one after another, Gao Yun, Cui Hao and other cadres were like dirt, they didn't think so much at that time, they just felt that Zhao Junsheng was unruly, so he spoke bluntly, where did he think that he would be impeached by so many ministers today, and put the following crimes of disrespect on their heads?

"The minister is guilty!" Cui Hao knelt on the ground.

Gao Yun also knelt on the ground with a puff, "The minister is also guilty!" ”

Several other ministers involved in the matter also knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Of course, Zhao Junsheng could not remove them from their posts and investigate them, but they were punished lightly, each of them was fined for three months, ordered them to go home and think about it behind closed doors, and after three days, each of them handed in a review letter, and the matter was only exposed.
