In fact, the Cabinet has always been in a very special position. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the people in the cabinet are called the heads of the civil ministers, they are the people of the inner dynasty, and the reason why they say this is because the cabinet is the only department that is not selected by the ministers, and the cabinet candidates are basically ordered by the emperor himself to enter the cabinet.

Therefore, it can ensure to the greatest extent that the auxiliary ministers of the cabinet are all the people who the emperor likes, at least not the people that the emperor hates, and the biggest advantage of this is that the power and status of the cabinet are highly centralized.

Because at this step of the ministers, the holy grace is the most important, and if you want to move forward, you must be a person trusted by the emperor.

Therefore, once many civil servants enter the cabinet, their positions will be subtly shifted, and they will no longer unscrupulously contradict the emperor, but will instead express their opinions in a more tactful way.

But at the same time, the choice of the cabinet ministers is not random for the emperor, not only need to have sufficient qualifications, but also in principle must be from a jinshi, that is to say, they must be civil ministers.

The biggest feature of Wenchen is that there are many contacts, and these relationships are helpful when they are in the outer court, but they have become a stumbling block in the inner court.

Unless they lose their faces, the ministers must take into account the opinions of both the emperor and the ministers.

Therefore, rather than being a central decision-making body, the cabinet is more of a lubricant for the internal and external dynasties, and as the first assistant, the most important responsibility is to reconcile the internal and external to avoid the outbreak of strong contradictions between the emperor and the foreign dynasty.

Anyone who fails to do this will leave his post in disgrace.

And as subordinates, their responsibility is to persuade the king, not to act rashly.

So as the first assistant, Wang Xijue knows very well what he should do now, war is a major event, and he can't act rashly, but the emperor is obviously angry now, and he can't directly refuse, and the ministers' opinions may not be unanimous, and the best way now is to let the emperor calm down and discuss this matter in the long run.

I have to say that although they belong to different factions on weekdays, in the face of such a major event, the people in the cabinet can still make correct judgments.

After Wang Xijue, Shen Li also stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Yuan Fu said is very true, the Japanese country is arrogant, and it is an unforgivable crime to start a war, but now it is less than a month away from the imperial court seal, and it is a cold winter, and it is quite inconvenient for the army to go out, I implore Your Majesty to focus on the overall situation and temporarily calm the wrath of thunder!"

Shen Cheng also rarely choked with Shen Li this time, and said next.

"Your Majesty, the army is on the march, and the mobilization of money and food is not something that can be achieved overnight, this battle still needs to be considered in the long run, Your Majesty thinks twice!"

In the end, Zhu Geng also stepped forward together.

"Your Majesty, the old minister also asks Your Majesty to stop his anger for the time being, don't be rash!"

Under the bitter advice of the auxiliary ministers, the sound of war above the court finally subsided, and Zhu Yijun slowly woke up from his anger, knowing that he was indeed too impatient.

However, when he remembered that the Wa Kingdom dared to despise him so much, there was a sense of anger in his heart, and he said coldly.

"I know what you say! However, when you wait for a defeated small country, you dare to be so arrogant, destroy my national letters, kill my envoys, and provoke the border, this war is going to be fought!

Now that the cold winter is approaching, and it is the New Year's Festival, it is indeed not suitable to send troops, since this is the case, the day of sending troops will be set in February next year!

The household department immediately mobilized money, food, and heavy soldiers in conjunction with the military department, and after you Aiqing went back, you will discuss who will preside over this expedition! ”

The four auxiliary ministers below glanced at each other, knowing that this battle had to be fought, so they had to give it up.

"Your Majesty, the ministers obey the order!"

"As for you......"

Zhu Yijun turned his gaze back to Zhu Changluo's body, and a trace of regret flashed in his eyes, and said.

"Since the Wa State tore up the national letter and pretended that the peace talks were true, I will not pursue you for the crime of disturbing the great rituals and offending the previous emperors, but for your reckless nature, I have to punish you, from today onwards, you will be grounded in the palace for one month, and you will not be allowed to leave the palace for a single step before the year!"

Zhu Changluo lowered his head, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and then spoke.

"Son, thank your father for your kindness! However, there is still one thing that the sons and daughters ask for their father's permission! ”

"What?"

Zhu Yijun's face was a little unpleasant, he wanted to take this opportunity to teach Zhu Changluo a lesson, but he didn't expect to be slapped in the face when he turned over, and now he has let him go, how dare he ask for it?

But now, he also knows that Zhu Changluo revealed this matter, and in the eyes of the courtiers, he punished him, which is indeed a bit unfair, so he continued to listen to him, but his tone was full of impatience.

"Father and Emperor Rongyu, the Japanese people will be the same as Shen Weijing to deceive the superiors and subordinates, the matter is true, but this is all caused by Shen Weijing's greed and wanton deception, presumably the military department is the same as the ministers of the court, they are all deceived by traitors.

What's more, now that the war is about to start, there should be no more internal friction, which will only increase the laughing stock, so the sons have the courage to intercede for Shi Xing, the secretary of the military department! Please remember that for the sake of his life working for the court, don't be harsh on him! ”

Zhu Changluo bowed his head respectfully three times before he slowly spoke.

However, his words made everyone unexpected, you know, it is a matter of the national body, but the Ministry of War has made such a big mistake, and Shi Xing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, will not be able to escape no matter what.

After all, someone must always be responsible for this matter, and Shi Xing, who participated in and presided over this matter from beginning to end, is undoubtedly the first person responsible.

Even if it is serious, it is not impossible to be charged with foreign crimes.

This kind of big crime can't be shaken off for the rest of his life, so even the Qi Party, which is the same as Shi Xing, is unwilling to come forward to intercede for him, otherwise it will be easy to get into it with himself, after all, most of the Qi Party have participated in the peace discussion.

Even to put it mildly, everyone in this court has been involved in this matter to a greater or lesser extent, at least they didn't realize that it was wrong beforehand, so everyone was gray and didn't dare to speak.

And although Shi Xing is important, if he gives up on him, he can keep more living power, and no one will die to protect him.

Of course, it is not for nothing that there is no one above the Manchu Dynasty who can speak, and Zhu Changluo is one of the few people.

He was one of the few people who had never participated in the peace talks from beginning to end, and when the Japanese envoy had just set off from Liaodong, he had already been crowned king and rushed to Nanzhili.

And by the time he came back, the peace talks had already ended, so this charge had nothing to do with him.

And more importantly, it was he who exposed this matter and made a great contribution to the imperial court.

If anyone is most qualified to intercede for Shi Xing, it must be Zhu Changluo! This head can only be raised by him!

At the same time, Shi Xing, who had been silent on the side, also stepped forward, took off the black veil on his head, and bowed deeply to the ground.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty!"

After saying that, he didn't say a word, since he took over this matter, he had already had this psychological preparation, and he hadn't spoken before, because he didn't know how much responsibility the emperor wanted him to take now.

But now, he can't hide anymore.

"Your Majesty, Shi Shangshu is dedicated to the country, he must have been deceived by traitors, please be aware of it!"

With Zhu Changluo taking the lead, many of Shi Xing's friends suddenly poured out in the court, and they all stepped forward to intercede for him!

Even Shen Li couldn't help but step forward and said.

"Your Majesty is clear!"
