Chapter III: Objections

Some people objected, but Zhu Yunwen was not surprised at all.

When everyone heard the voice, it turned out to be Qi Tai, the secretary of the military department, and Yu Xin, the secretary of the household department.

Qi Tai and Yu Xin glanced at each other and made eye contact, then Yu Xin stepped back, and Qi Tai came out.

"Your Majesty, it is absolutely impossible to mobilize the kings to protect you!"

"Qi Aiqing, don't worry, speak slowly!"

For Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and others, Zhu Yunwen has always been very tolerant, although they have gradually faded out of the decision-making circle, Fang Xiaoru is even more focused on education, but Zhu Yunwen will never forget their loyalty.

Qi Tai, who already knew the destiny of heaven, walked out of the queue slowly, gently lifted his hat, bowed and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is absolutely impossible to let the kings pawn the soldiers, otherwise once there is a change, it will inevitably cause trouble to the Xiao Wall, and there will be another war, and the Ming Dynasty will be in danger." ”

"In the past, the first emperors gave preferential treatment to the kings, and the kings were able to support strong soldiers and interfere in civil and military affairs. When the first emperor was there, they were still obedient, but as soon as the first emperor went, the kings were separated, each had a strong army, and they could almost fight against the imperial court. ”

"Fortunately, thanks to Your Majesty's wisdom and martial arts, and the blessing of the gods of the Ming ancestors, the rebellion was quickly put down, but to this day, the wounds of the war have not been healed, and the people of Hebei are still suffering from the war in the past."

"Since the rebellion of the King of Chu at the beginning of the year, there is no strong vassal in the country, and the key places and elite soldiers are all under the control of the imperial court.

"It's just a country, but it's just a moss disease, and it's not worth revising the national policy."

"Although the pirates are rampant, as long as the navy intensifies patrols and strengthens the protection of merchant ships, the pirates will die sooner or later; As for the Japanese state, although its crimes are unforgivable, there is no need to rush for a while, and wait for two years, when Korea and the northeast are stable, and His Majesty will raise a large army again to conquer the Japanese state, which is the best strategy. ”

"Now that Your Majesty is in full bloom, why can't you wait a year or two? Wechen really can't understand. ”

"If today's Your Majesty uses the vassal king again, then with the heroic strength of the first emperor and Your Majesty, the kings of later generations will not dare to change their ways, and the vassal king's soldiers will probably become a permanent system, and in the long run, it will become a great trend, Weichen is worried that the tragedy of the rebellion of the eight kings in the past will be staged in the Ming Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please think twice!"

Speaking of this, Qi Tai fell to his knees, sobbing and kowtowing to blood......

As Qi Tai knelt down, Yu Xin immediately stepped out and said loudly: "Please think twice, Your Majesty!" ”

"Please take back your order!"

"Your Majesty, the prince must not pawn soldiers!"

......

They fell to their knees, and at last no one stood.

All this made Zhu Yunwen feel extremely shocked, he didn't expect that everyone would be so opposed to the prince's soldiers, he was confident that he could still control these vassal kings, but Qi Tai and others had completely different views, they had the idea of traditional readers, and they were consciously the creators of history, their every move, word and deed hoped to be punished by future generations, they not only had a feeling of family and country, but also had a lofty ideal of "establishing a heart for heaven and earth, establishing a life for the people, continuing to learn for the saints, and opening peace for all generations".

From this incident, it can be seen that Zhu Yunwen was deeply influenced by later generations. In later generations, family inheritance is already a joke, most people only think about themselves, a small number will think about their children, as for considering grandchildren, it can already be said that it is rare. Therefore, Zhu Yunwen thinks more about the problem from his own consideration, he wants to leave a good name in history, he wants the people of the Ming Dynasty to be grateful to him, he wants the people of the Ming Dynasty to crisscross the seven seas and dominate the earth, everything he does is for this purpose, and Zhu Yunwen thinks very little about the continuity and harmfulness of this policy, and sometimes even ignores it completely.

Zhu Yunwen thought for a while, pursed his lips, raised his hand and said, "Everyone, please get up!" ”

"Please take back your order!"

"Please take back your order!"

Listening to the repeated pleas, a wave of anger surged up in Zhu Yunwen's heart, but he tried his best to suppress it, and said in a deep voice: "Ladies and gentlemen, this matter can be discussed later, and I will consider this matter properly." ”

Seeing that the emperor had said this, Qi Tai and the others glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Then he stood up and lined up on either side.

"Hmm," Zhu Yunwen breathed a sigh of relief, since he ascended the throne, it was the first time that he had encountered important ministers who collectively opposed this kind of thing.

"Yu Laoqing's family, what do you say?"

"Your Majesty," Yu Xin coughed slightly, and said: "Now that the imperial court's finances are tight, the reform of the customs and the Ministry of Taxation, and the apportionment of the acres are all being implemented, and it will take time to verify the specific effect." ”

"Compared with the above, attacking the Japanese is not a matter of urgency, as Qi Shangshu said, the Japanese invaded the Ming merchant ships, it is not incomprehensible, as long as the navy strengthens patrols and provides bows and crossbows and other weapons for the merchant ships, the harm of the Japanese will inevitably decrease, and the Japanese are also people, he will also be afraid of death, as long as I persevere, the Japanese will inevitably gradually decrease, and in the end it must be the Japanese country that can't stand it, so the old minister thinks that it is completely unnecessary to issue war bonds and borrow money from merchants."

"I govern the country in China, I live within my means, borrow money for the sake of war, it's okay to win, what if I defeat it? The imperial court is unable to repay its debts, so it can only raise taxes on the people, so what should the people do if they can't stand it anymore? ”

"Besides, I have only been in the 37th year of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and I have borrowed money from merchants and spread it, what will the people think? What does the Fanbang Congress think? Once they lose their reverence for the court, the old ministers are worried that once there is chaos, it will be out of control! ”

"The old minister thinks that His Majesty should follow the example of the first emperor, in the past, the Japanese country colluded with Hu Weiyong, intending to assassinate, although the first emperor was furious, but did not send troops to conquer, but listed it as a country not to be conquered, His Majesty inherited the ancestral industry of the first emperor, not only to inherit the first emperor's eloquence, but also to inherit the first emperor's prudence and forbearance!"

"Of course, the old minister doesn't think that the Japanese state cannot be conquered, but hopes that it can be postponed for a year or two, wouldn't it be better?"

To tell the truth, after Yu Xin finished speaking, Zhu Yunwen was speechless.

Although Zhu Yunwen can say that Yu Xin, you are an old antique, and you will do this in later generations, it doesn't matter, but Yu Xin is already the top financial talent in this era, if he can't accept it, others can even imagine.

Of course, borrowing money is not without trouble, and the later Tokugawa shogunate, there is no "Osaka rich man is angry, and all the princes of the world are shocked!" "Rumors?

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Yunwen didn't think of any good way to refute Yu Xin and Qi Tai's remarks.

In all fairness, if Qi Tai and Yu Xin were not present today, I am afraid that the attack on the Japanese would have been a sure thing, and Qi Tai's words, no one would dare to say it except him; Similarly, the same is true of Yu Xin's words.

Qi Tai, as Emperor Zhu Yunwen's veteran confidant, dared to say something out of the ordinary; And Yu Xin, who is already a very popular minister, plus he is over the age of six, frail and sickly, he is a person who is ready to beg for bones at any time, and he has no scruples.

For these two people, Zhu Yunwen couldn't say anything too serious, because he knew that they had no selfish intentions.

Zhu Yunwen glanced at the people present, his eyes swept over the faces of Guo Ying, the staff secretary, Xu Huizu, the supervisor Song Sheng, the quartermaster Wu Gao, the Hou Shengyong of Licheng, the naval governor Xuanxin, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and the Minister of Internal Affairs Guo Ren and others.

After a long time, Zhu Yunwen sighed and waved his hand helplessly: "That's all for today's discussion!" I need to think about it, and you all step down! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

......

Everyone got up and left with a heavy heart, and they didn't have the heart to speak.

When everyone arrived at the noon gate and said goodbye to each other, a eunuch ran over from behind and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty has a decree, Licheng Hou Shengyong, Navy Governor Xuanxin, Military Department Shangshu Qitai, and Hubu Shangshu Yuxin immediately go to the Qianqing Palace to see the driver, and there must be no delay!" ”

"Yes!"
