Chapter 227: Big Brother, I'll Support You
I don't know if I heard the voices of the courtiers, or if I was interested, after a series of victories, well, insignificant victories in the eyes of the courtiers, Zhengde finally came up with something real.
"I order, the cabinet plans to edict, that is, from now on, Nanzhen Fusi Yamen is listed as a royal important place, the same as the Forbidden City, no one is allowed to trespass, and there will be no forgiveness for violators!" Zhengde's tone was cold and murderous, but the tone was similar to just now.
Everyone was already used to it, and they subconsciously wanted to agree, but just as they were about to speak, they all reacted, this request is not the same as before, is the emperor's previous request paralyzed? It's not right, although those requirements seem boring, they are very much in line with the emperor's usual style.
So, is this the real purpose of the emperor now?
This request is actually not excessive, because Zhengde has already made many decrees, three of which are still hanging at the entrance of the yamen. Coupled with Nanzhen Fusi's actions, it is already a fait accompli that the yamen has become a forbidden place.
Of course, the government and the opposition disagree, believing that it is unreasonable, but they can't do anything about it for a while, and they still have to look for opportunities in the future. But now Zhengde has mentioned it, if it follows the holy will, then Nanzhen Fusi will have a legal basis like Huangzhuang, without Zhengde's cooperation, don't think about turning over the account in the future.
It's another big and small problem in front of the courtiers, agree, right? The impact is not great, but this breath is not easy to swallow; If you don't agree, the emperor is afraid that he will have to repeat his old tricks, huh? Wrong! It seems that the conditions that the emperor can exchange have been used up, right?
"Your Majesty, this matter is still debatable...... Min Jue hesitated and probed.
"Is it Min Shangshu? Shuntianfu ......" Zhengde glanced down, and when he saw that it was Min Jue, he immediately mentioned Shuntianfu to the seat.
Min Jue was stunned, this one has obviously been used? I used it once and took it out, and the emperor was too unparticular, isn't this a foul.
"Is the candidate of Shuntian Mansion Yin debatable? I think it's pretty good for Jinyiwei to command Xie Hong, and since Min Shangshu is also in favor, how about it be decided? Min Jue was stunned, but Zhengde said a lot of things to himself, and he also represented Min Jue by the way.
"Your Majesty, this can't be discussed, absolutely not!" Ma Wensheng is in a hurry, Shuntian Mansion Yin is a third-grade member, even if he wants to be appointed and dismissed, he has to go through the ministry! What's more, even if you don't consider that Xie Hong has no merit and fame, this position of Shuntianfu Yin must not fall into the hands of that person!
To this day, if Zhengde recalls the old matter and lets Xie Hong enter the ministry as a waiter, I am afraid that all adults will pinch their noses and admit it, although the status of the waiter is high, but after all, it is attached to Shangshu.
Moreover, now Xie Hong is difficult to deal with, mainly because he has not entered the imperial court system, so it is difficult to find the gap, if he enters the sixth department, it will be easy to deal with, in order to eliminate the annihilation, the position of a squire is willing to be accepted.
But Shuntianfu is different, it is a reading yamen, and others may be deceived by subordinate officials when they enter, but Xie Hong is not an ordinary person. This person's wisdom is far-reaching, even surpassing that of Scholar Li, and letting such a person be in charge of Shuntianfu, it is really difficult for everyone to sleep peacefully.
"Oh, that's it, since Ma Shangshu doesn't agree, forget it." Zhengde is as good as a stream, but without waiting for Ma Wensheng to breathe a sigh of relief, he gave Ma Wensheng to the representative again: "However, since Ma Shangshu opposes the replacement of Shuntianfu, he supports my previous opinion, right?" ”
Multiple choice questions, and it's one of two choices! Everyone is familiar with it, but they used to make the topic and let Zhengde choose it. This is the first time that examiners and test-takers have been transferred.
The issue of Shuntianfu cannot be entangled, otherwise the situation will expand, and it is really impossible to commit it for the sake of a fact of Nanzhen Fusi Yamen.
"Your Majesty is clear, and the ministers obey the order......" Ma Wensheng also recognized this fact, and twisted and fell under the silver power of Zhengde.
"Your Majesty, the hour is not early, you see, is it time to go to court?"
The beginning of the strange must have an ending worthy of the beginning. The scholar took the initiative to go to the next dynasty, not to mention the Ming Dynasty, which was founded more than 100 years ago, even if it was traced back to a thousand years on the Internet, it should be considered rare, but today, it happened.
However, Zhengde, who was robbed of his lines, was full of care, he waved his hand, and said unsatisfied: "Don't worry, I haven't said enough yet." ”
Zhu Houzhao didn't know if his father had such a hearty time, anyway, he was very cool today. During the whole process of the court discussion, the initiative was firmly grasped in his hands, which gave him an extremely headache, and the courtiers who seemed to be unable to fight fell down one by one, and it felt really good to raise his eyebrows.
When he said this, not only the courtiers, but even Liu Jin and Ma Yongcheng behind him were stunned.
In the discussion before this court meeting, Xie Hong did not avoid Liu Jin, because this guy proved his loyalty in the incident of Wang Yue's invasion of the palace, and he did not involve any core secrets this time...... Well, in fact, Xie Hong is mainly afraid that Zhengde will forget the words, and there must be a reminder on the spot.
Although Liu Jin was not very convinced of the arrangements made by Xie Hong because there was no plan to completely overthrow Wang Yue in the plan, Liu Jin was still very amazed at the rest of the plan, he didn't know what Xie Hong meant, but at least, he saw with his own eyes that the momentum of the courtiers was completely defeated, so that Xie Qian took the initiative to withdraw from the dynasty and hung out the war-free card!
That's a scholar Xie University, even if the house is on fire, he has to go to take refuge after nagging, and he actually took the initiative to withdraw from the dynasty, saying how magical it is, that's not an exaggeration!
But seeing the successful ending, Zhengde did not relent, Liu Jin had a hunch, long live the Lord is going to have a situation again, otherwise...... There's no such thing in the script!
The courtiers were naturally even more depressed, and they were suppressed for a morning, and they could only respond, not refute, this taste of ruling the arch was really not pleasant, otherwise Xie Qian would not have taken the initiative to disperse the dynasty.
Seeing that Zhengde still didn't let go, everyone was angry, when the emperor was hanging your arch in the past, we still gave you the right to hang the war card. Today's feng shui is reversed, you have the upper hand, why are you so unreasonable? Let's admit it and still don't let go, isn't this bullying honest people?
So, everyone held back their energy, waiting for Zhengde to speak, if it is a too absurd idea, then the emperor you just wait and see!
"Jinyiwei commanded Tongzhi Xie Hong to be effective and loyal, I want to reward him, well, I will make him Zhenhaibo."
"Your Majesty, you must not!" After holding back for a morning, Zhang Sheng finally cried, this will is really not ridiculous, at least it is more reasonable than letting Xie Hong be the Yin of Shuntianfu.
It stands to reason that the reward was originally based on the emperor's mood, and with Xie Hong's holy family, although it was a little sloppy to be crowned an earl, what he saw in the past two months was actually nothing.
Zhang Sheng was also holding back enough energy to cry, and only after lying down did he realize that the reason for opposition was not sufficient, if it was simple in the past, move out of the ancestral system, no matter what the above said, as long as he cried and opposed, Zhengde couldn't help it.
But today's situation is different, and the court has to be reasonable when it comes to discussions, so Zhang Shangshu cried for a long time, and then he suffocated a few words, and what he said was also some clichés, saying that it was the Son of Heaven who gave him a reward indiscriminately, and I was afraid that the government and the opposition would not be convinced, so that the feelings of the people were turbulent.
In the past, these words may still be a little useful, of course Zhengde will not buy it today, let you do everything you can, he just said: "Wang Yue is really old, it's time to rest for a few years, right?" ”
Zhang Sheng's crying stopped, and the others were speechless.
Well, anyway, it's just an earl, and at the time of the founding of the country, the count was a bit weighty, but today, the count of the Ming Dynasty is like that. It's just a name, since it won't affect the court situation, it doesn't matter, and it can't be committed to fighting with the emperor today.
But this name has aroused the doubts of a few people, Zhen Haibo? Daming has forbidden the sea for many years, which door is the sea in the town? Is this a hint from the emperor, or is it just casual talk?
Doubts are doubts, after all, no one objected, so the court meeting on April 1 of the first year of Zhengde came to a successful conclusion and became a memorable date. According to Xie Hong's aftermath, April Fool's Day is indeed an auspicious day, especially the April Fool's Day in China.
Zhengde also shared the same view as him. As soon as the court meeting dispersed, Zhengde hurriedly changed his clothes and left the palace, and he didn't even care about eating, so he went directly into the Fusi Yamen of Nanzhen. After seeing Xie Hong, he was even more excited, and he talked about it for a long time, which showed his excitement, and he was deeply convinced by Xie Hong's April Fool's Day, and even wanted to try to issue an edict.
This irrational behavior was of course dissuaded by Xie Hong. Except for the end of the day, Zhengde suddenly wanted to make him an earl, and the process of today's court meeting was basically expected by him in advance.
The events of the past few days gave him and Zhengde a lot of tricks, and they were also a little frightened, of course, they wanted to reap the benefits afterwards. However, what benefits to reap and how to reap them have been carefully considered.
Xie Hong is not a politician, he will not negotiate and compromise quietly, what he taught Zhengde is naturally the method of Ye Luzi. However, in the face of the right strategy, the method or everything is a floating cloud, and the courtiers are really tired of parrying, and finally successfully achieve their goal.
The request they put forward seems to be inconspicuous, but it is likely to play a role in determining the surname in the future, at least Huangzhuang and Nanzhen Fusi are completely safe, and there are no loopholes to exploit. Unless the courtiers were desperate, it would be impossible for such a thing as Shuntianfu to happen again, and the legal problem had been completed.
And after Zhengde, the courtiers who left the palace could not be restricted, and the communication was smooth; In addition, it is indeed very inconvenient for Zhengde to live in the Qianqing Palace, firstly, it is the imperial horse supervisor who controls the palace ban, which has potential safety hazards; Second, the Qianqing Palace is not far from the Cining Palace, and if there is a lot of noise, it may alarm the Queen Mother.
These humble benefits are easy to get hold of, and they're comfortable to apply; But the benefits that seem tempting are the opposite, they are very difficult, and they are still very hot to get them.
For example, in the case of Wang Yue, it is easy to overthrow a Wang Yue, but there are many people in Wang Yue's faction, and it is a little difficult to get rid of them all, and it is even more impossible for Wenchen to back down on the issue of the Imperial Horse Supervisor.
It's better to keep Wang Yue, anyway, the last incident has affected his impression in the queen mother's heart, and it is impossible to trust him as before. After the overall situation has been decided, how to clean up Wang Yue is not a matter of words?
The problem between the household department and the Huangzhuang, it is impossible for Wenchen to back down, even if he wants to break up in two, Xie Hong knows it, so he simply asks Zhengde to correct the name of the Huangzhuang. Those of the vassal royal family, Xie Hong will not fight for them, and Zhengde is not that interested, but his own family has to be determined, and Zhenbao Zhai is also one of the imperial villages.
Shenji Battalion, Xie Hong is very interested, but after this benefit is taken, it will become extremely hot, and Wenchen can easily jam his neck. The means are very simple, cut off the salary!
Now what Xie Hong is about to face is that the supply of the palace, the craftsmen of the Ordnance Division, and thousands of sons are already quite a huge number. Coupled with the Shenji Battalion, which uses firearms, how can it cope with it?
He didn't move Wang Yue, and there was also this reason, since the Imperial Horse Supervisor listened to the foreign courts, of course Zhengde could ignore their life and death, with Wang Yue here, those people's salaries had to go from the household department.
Needless to mention in the military department, Shuntianfu is very attractive, but there is no one in Xie Hong's hands, except for the people of the Zeng family, his reputation for that talent is the highest on his side, who can go? He himself is a doppelganger, and he doesn't understand the Tao in the yamen at all, where can he go? Therefore, Xie Hong had no choice but to give up that attractive position.
After giving up that position, Xie Hong found that the situation suddenly opened up, and the courtiers were tied up today because of this, Zhengde didn't want any benefits, and they wanted something they couldn't look down on, so how could the courtiers fight back?
And those that they don't look down on, but they have a great role, and with fame, they also consolidate what Xie Hong has mastered at present. The actions of Shuntianfu and the Shenji Battalion really frightened Xie Hong, they were able to do that, mainly because there were loopholes to drill, so Xie Hong took the opportunity to seal the loopholes.
In addition, not wanting anything also dissolves the unanimous momentum of the courtiers. Seeing that Xie Hong had no ambitions, their alliance would naturally collapse. Before, it was because Xie Hong inadvertently made too much noise, which provoked them to make dangerous moves. If it weren't for Xie Hong, who was too busy and asked Zhengde to go to Zhenbao Zhai to guard, maybe things would have been out of control.
Xie Hong is not good at intrigue, and he can see clearly how low the scholar doctor is, so he decided to give up the battle in the court first and concentrate on his own stall first.
After the Ordnance Division is basically formed, through the Imperial Village like Zhenbao Zhai as a channel, the power that can burst out is completely unimaginable to the scholars of this era.
What is Strength? Talent, economy, military, these three branches constitute the strength, the economy is built through the Ordnance Division, and when there is enough economic strength, that is the time to organize military strength and recruit talents.
Xie Hong has a full understanding of the relationship, and the border troops under Jiang Bin are very loyal, but if their salaries are stopped, no matter how loyal they are, they will not survive for a year and a half. So, without economic strength, there is nothing.
In the end, Xie Hong did not have a clear concept of how to recruit talents and organize military strength, and Zeng Jian could not give him any help in this, after all, the old man had never been in contact with military affairs and official governance.
But Xie Hong knew that after his wealth was rolling, the other two things would naturally come into place. Where there is economy, there is strength, and in the Ming Dynasty, this view was generally acquiesced, and no one said it explicitly; However, at the same time, the Wa Kingdom was directly equated between the two.
The daimyo of the Wa Kingdom, that is, the princes, their strength was replaced by the economy, that is, the output of the territory represented the strength. When Xie Hong played games in later generations, he often saw such a pronoun, how powerful a big name is, is because of how much he has an income of 10,000 stones.
So, he gave up those seemingly tempting benefits in exchange for temporary compromises and time. The Wenchen did fall for his calculations, after all, they didn't know Xie Hong's composition, and they wouldn't believe it if they knew.
"They'll regret it later, though." After Xie Hong explained all the calculations to Zhengde, he concluded with a smile.
"Oh." Zhengde understood, but he didn't care much: "Anyway, big brother, come on, brother, I will stand up to you, I am very righteous." ”
Embarrassment, Xie Hong smiled bitterly, the second brother is starting to be unreliable again, as if these things have nothing to do with you, why do you pick yourself so cleanly?
