Chapter 418: Calm and Angry

Chapter 417: Calm and Angry

Due to the edict of the Son of Heaven to speak out, Li Shimian, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, and Zheng Ji, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, took the lead in writing and saying things, and with the lead, the rest of the officials who supervised the imperial history and other scientific officials also wrote to speak bluntly, and many twists and turns flew into the General Administration Department like snowflakes. There are impeachments that are supervised by the Prosecutor and the examiner of the imperial history without detailed investigation, and the evaluation of those who cannot meet the A-attached is mostly ordinary, and the greedy and treacherous and good at flattering the person will be evaluated well; It is clearly stated that for many years, the tributary envoys of the barbarians from all over the world have been congested in the Dao, urging the imperial court to make a clear edict to the overseas countries that are close to each other once every three years, and those who are far away once every five years; It is said that the transportation of grain in Jiangnan and other places in Beijing is dangerous and far away, and the people are in difficulty, so please build granaries in Huai'an, Xuzhou, Jining and other places along the canal to facilitate the transfer of grain from far and near......

There are all kinds of outspoken performances, and it is just that the officials of the General Administration and a few bachelors in the cabinet are busy half to death. On this day, in the cabinet room, Yang Rong, who was busy copying the abridgement, looked at the copy in his hand, and suddenly slapped the table angrily, and then snorted coldly: "How can this be reasonable, this Xiao Yi actually said that the lightning struck and burned down the three major halls as moving the capital to anger Haotian God, and said that if the capital cannot be moved back to heaven and the benevolent government is not cultivated, then the world will definitely be plagued!" ”

"Since it is an edict to speak out, it is not surprising that some people have turned the finger to this." Yang Shiqi kept writing, and there were a bunch of all kinds of twists and turns on the table, "Besides, didn't Yishan and Youzi have expected that someone would bring this up at the beginning?" ”

"Brother Shiqi, do you think that Xiao Yi, the head of the Ministry of Rites, only said this? He has a lot of content on this, saying that it is that the Western treasure ship consumes money and food, and he asks for abolition; The sea ban is edicted by Emperor Taizu, and the ancestral precepts cannot be violated, please stop it and punish the corresponding officials; The wild land of Jiaozhi is not worth the expedition, please abandon Jiaozhi; The most important one is to move back to Jiangning...... Hmph, this person is just a little master, and he actually refutes the emperor's big politics as useless, not bold, but arrogant! ”

Du Zhen was picking and choosing according to the various ministries and courtyards at this time, and when he heard Yang Rong say this, he finally raised his head. The emperor's edict this time was just forced by the times to do it, and if the words were pertinent to the times, it would be fine, but if he wanted the emperor to change his mind by only using the excuse of celestial phenomena on such a major event, it was undoubtedly wishful thinking. Because of the lightning strike, the three major halls moved the capital, isn't this a child's play on national affairs? Moreover, the left one abolished and the other stopped, and even prepared to lose the cochin...... Isn't this a loser?

"Hey, Yishan, there is actually a share of Zhang Yuanjie here!"

Hearing Jin Youzi's voice, Du Zhen didn't feel strange at all, and after straightening his waist, he smiled faintly: "Since it is an edict to ask for bluntness, it is not strange to have him, and I have also been folded myself." ”

Yang Rongjin Youzi was surprised when he heard this, and at this time, Yang Shiqi stood up with a document: "This is Yishan's recital, he is talking about the construction of the Beijing Division in recent years, in addition to serving the people, there are countless officials and soldiers, these military households are poor in food and clothing, and they can't take care of their families. However, I still think that the last article he wrote is the most important, since the last northern expedition, except for the Xuanfu Datong and other military important places, the armaments in other places have indeed been relaxed, and it is necessary to guard against it. I myself have written to ask for strict punishment, and all death sentences must be repeated three times. ”

Compared with the officials of the ministry and the department, the ministers of the Wenyuan Pavilion face the saint every day, and they can face each other if they have anything, so Yang Rongjin Youzi is reluctant to write at this time, so as not to be caught by the officials below who are staring at the boss. Hearing that Yang Shiqi and Du Zhen both responded to the outspoken edict, the two of them regretted it a little, but it would be boring to follow behind at this time. After everything was sorted out, Jin Youzi, who was on duty today, went to the Qianqing Palace with the two eunuchs who came to take the fold.

However, Jin Youzi quickly regretted that he didn't call one more person to accompany him to Qianqing Palace. He knew that the Son of Heaven was becoming more and more irritable now, and he also knew that the burning of these three major halls was a great blow to Zhu Di, and he knew that most of the excerpts and abridgements presented at this time would only make the emperor even more angry. But since he knew this, why did he still run over alone?

All the documents that were originally neatly piled up on the imperial case were swept down by Zhu Di angrily and scattered everywhere. Whether it was the eunuchs or Jin Youzi who were waiting around him, they didn't dare to come forward to pick it up at this time, and they didn't even dare to make a sound. They didn't wait for the emperor's angry roar, all they could hear was that heavy gasp. However, that gasp was more terrible than a roar, because no one knew when the emperor would suddenly erupt, let alone what terrible things would happen.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Yue is waiting for you in the military department!"

The little eunuch standing in the outer hall didn't want to annoy the emperor at this time, but he thought that Zhang Yue had brought down the heads of the three celebrant eunuchs, and the other big eunuchs seemed to have a good relationship with this little Zhang, and the emperor passed the decree first, so he really didn't dare to delay. At this time, he stubbornly reported this sentence, and he waited there with fear, and soon heard a cheer from inside.

"Biography!"

The little eunuch who breathed a sigh of relief agreed, and then ran down the steps with a smoke, and when he saw Zhang Yue waiting there under the Danqi, he announced loudly, and then lowered his voice and said: "Lord Xiao Zhang, be careful, just now the emperor almost threw those twists and turns on the face of Master Jin, and it is estimated that the anger is still very strong at this time." ”

"Thank you little father-in-law for the reminder."

Zhang Yue nodded sincerely to the little eunuch, and then hurriedly went up the steps. The moment he stepped into the main hall, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, familiarizing himself with the difference between the inside and outside light. It was a sunny spring day outside, but it was almost a cold winter night inside, except for Zhu Di's face covered with frost, Jin Youzi and those eunuchs also had dead faces. And just as he was about to salute, the extremely oppressive atmosphere finally broke out.

"It's also inconvenient and inconvenient, it's also wrong, it's also wrong, why don't they say it on weekdays, they have to take advantage of the fact that the three major halls are burned down right now, so they can see so many drawbacks? On this day, when the thunder does not kill a handful of people, does not burn down a few houses, but this time the three major halls are burned is the warning of the heavens, saying that I should not move the capital? A bunch of bastards, thinking I don't know how long they've been holding back, thinking I don't know their intentions? Zhang Yue! ”

Zhu Di had completely forgotten the reason for summoning Zhang Yue in the first place, and almost didn't think about it, he pointed at him and shouted: "Go to the Imperial Horse Prison to spread the decree, call Hai Shou, and ...... these people Put all these people in Jinyi Prison! ”

Hearing this, not only Zhang Yue was taken aback, but even Jin Youzi shouted badly. He doesn't care whether Zhang Yue offends people because of this, but if this matter is done, the backlash will be great, and he, a minister, will be unable to escape the blame at that time. Thinking of this, he hurriedly stood up and persuaded him, who knew that he was drunk back by Zhu Di without saying a word.

"Do you want them to impeach you, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, to die?"

The last time he was sent by the emperor to arrest people on the night of the turmoil in Beijing, but this time Zhang Yue understood that unless he wanted to raise his head in Shilin from now on, this kind of thing must not be done, besides, there was his own share in it. After a few thoughts, he stepped forward and saluted calmly, and then said: "Since the emperor has issued an edict to speak out, if he wants to put all the scholars in prison now, I am afraid that no one will answer in the future." Besides, the minister should also write a letter this time, if the emperor really wants the minister to arrest people, then the minister may have to arrest himself. ”

Because the first copy submitted by Jin Youzi was the letter of Xiao Yi, the head of the Ministry of Rites, Zhu Di almost never looked at others when he was angry, and when he heard Zhang Yue say this, he couldn't help frowning and looking at the folds on the ground, but his face was still full of anger. Seeing that the emperor's face turned slightly, Zhang Yue glanced at Jin Youzi next to him, and then bent down to pick up the scattered folds and other parts, and after all of them were folded, he took a few steps forward and presented them with both hands.

"You're bold." Zhu Di looked at Zhang Yue coldly, and patted the imperial case in front of him with his hand, "I don't have the heart to look at these things now, since you said that you should also write a letter, then okay, you read your own share to me first." Then read someone else's ...... In short, if you read it one by one, I want to listen to how many people uphold the public heart. ”

Although Jin Youzi was put aside, he was not displeased at this moment, and it is conceivable that except for some measured people, other officials must have been fierce in their words, and this reading was almost a head-to-head exercise. When he heard Zhang Yue read his own recital in a low voice, he gradually felt his scalp tingle.

"Since ancient times, the way of transportation is nothing more than river, land and sea. Land transportation is by car, and river and sea are by boat. According to the manpower, capacity, and cost used, sea transportation is the most economical, followed by river transportation, and land transportation again. However, the inconvenient passage of the river also needs to be pulled by manpower, and although the shipping is not saved, there is still the disaster of capsizing, which can be said to be equally stakes. Today, the Cao River is convenient, and the southeast wealth is all transported north by Cao, and the shipping has been abandoned for many years. However, if Caoyun is the throat of people, once the silt of the Cao River accumulates, or the Cao River freezes in winter, the southern grain cannot be transported north, and there will be unforeseen disasters. Although it is now an autumn of nothing, but we must not worry about the eternal world, please use the wealth of western Zhejiang to transport by sea, so that people can learn the sea way, but also can consolidate the coastal defense, practice the naval battle, and prevent the Japanese ......"

On this day, the meeting was held to communicate with the north and south to transport grain, so Zhu Di issued an order to stop shipping from then on, and now Zhang Yue actually proposed to reopen shipping, wouldn't the emperor be even more angry? However, after Zhu Di interrupted Zhang Yue's words with a heavy slap on the armrest, he did not immediately become angry, but only snorted coldly in dissatisfaction.

"Okay, don't think I don't know what you're doing with this Chen...... Put it aside for now, read the next one! ”
