Chapter 404: Forcing the Palace
readx;
Early in the morning, a cadre of ministers has been waiting outside the noon gate for a long time, the topic of today's court meeting has been decided, mainly talking about the snow disaster in Jiangxi, for this, the yamen of all ministries have done their homework, therefore, everyone is not much at a loss, as usual for a year, when the palace gate is opened, it will rush in.

And Zhu Youzhu is obviously in good spirits, he is wearing a gown, wearing a crown of heaven, sitting on the golden chair on His Majesty, and waiting until the two classes of ministers below saluted together, then raised his hand with a smile, and said: "Zhuqing is exempt, now everyone must know a little bit about the disaster in Nanchang Mansion, the heavens are not beautiful, suddenly this heavy snow came, collapsed a lot of houses, and caused tens of thousands of displaced people, such as today's cold and freezing, the homeless people are not clothed, hungry, and there is no place to stand, if the court lets it go, Not to mention that this is a failure in governance, just to say that once so many displaced people have grievances and make trouble, it is not a good thing, and the officials force the people to rebel, which is the biggest mistake of the past dynasties, how can I repeat the mistakes of the past? I and the cabinet have already drawn up a rough plan for disaster relief, but we still have to discuss how much disaster relief money should be allocated to the ministry, and how the local government should provide relief. The disaster situation cannot be delayed any longer, so I hope that the affairs of Jiangxi will be finalized through this court discussion, and each yamen will perform their duties and do what the court wants. ”
Almost every time there is a court discussion, if there is something, Zhu Youzhu will first have an opening statement, the intention is to tell the Manchu Dynasty civil and military that what is to be discussed today, first focus on solving this matter, and other things can be put aside.
What kind of approach, naturally has its benefits, and it is the same today, Zhu Youzhu said that there is only one purpose today, disaster relief!
Many of the civil and military officials in the two classes have been eager to try, and the emperor has always been concerned about disaster relief.
It's just that no one ever thought that the first to stand up was neither the official of the Ministry of Household nor the Ministry of Industry, but Cai Chang, a member of the Ministry of Rites, who took the lead in standing up, making everyone a little stunned. There are really no rules.
This Cai Chang has always been inconspicuous in the imperial court, a person in his forties, and he is only a middle-level official of the Ministry of Rites. Usually, this guy may not have the qualifications to discuss politics in the court, but this is because Zhu Youzhu attaches great importance to disaster relief, so he has the opportunity to enter the palace.
Such a guy makes people feel very eye-catching, but since people have already stood up, naturally no one opposes it, the court, the court, whatever you want, you can't drive people out.
However, several officials of the household department were obviously a little dissatisfied, and last night, everyone was on duty, and they stayed up all night, and finally worked out an account, but they were preempted by an inconspicuous guy.
Cai Chang stood up and glanced at everyone, before he said lightly: "Your Majesty's heart of worrying about the victims of the disaster can be described as unparalleled in benevolence and virtue, and Weichen admires it to the ......."
The opening remarks, first of all, were a sycophant, which made people laugh in their hearts, this guy is most likely here to show his face.
Who knew Cai Chang's next sentence, but everyone was startled.
"However, Weichen thinks that there is one more urgent matter than the disaster relief in Nanchang Mansion at the moment, please let Your Majesty know about it."
Speaking of this, Zhu Youzhu couldn't help asking, "Oh? I don't know what? ”
Cai Chang raised his head and said lightly: "Liu Chengfeng is a martial artist, in charge of the military and civil affairs of Xuanfu, mastering 100,000 elite soldiers, Xuanfu is only a stone's throw away from Beijing, and the stakes are very important......
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar, and the emperor set the tone for this court discussion, but this Cai Chang in front of him was not small, but he had such a bit of style. In fact, Liu Chengfeng's matter has long aroused the dissatisfaction of many civil and military officials, after all, this Liu Chengfeng is a military attaché, no matter how capable he is, he is not a scholar, and now a military attache has become the Qincha of Xuanfu, in charge of Xuanfu's military and civil affairs, which is an unprecedented thing.
There are also people who are really thinking about the court, and they always feel that Liu Chengfeng is not very reliable, so someone stood up and said: "Weichen has also heard of it, and now there are rumors among the Jingshi, and there are childish children on the street who say that Xuanfu is Chen Qiao, Your Majesty must not be careless, and think more about the society." ”
This time it was equivalent to a big stone thrown into the lake, and the whole hall was lively, but at this time, Liu Jian was stunned for a moment, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he glanced at Cai Chang very meaningfully.
Zhu Youzhang's face turned pale, and he talked about disaster relief in a dignified manner, but he didn't expect to turn to the matter of Xuanfu again, and at this moment, he was obviously angry.
He seemed to have noticed something, yesterday, Liu Jian also tried hard to persuade himself to recall Liu Chengfeng, but his attitude was resolute, Liu Jian had no choice but to give up, but he never thought that now for this matter, so many people will bring up the old matter, there is really no greasy behind this? In other words, this matter was led by Liu Jian at all, and when he saw that persuasion failed, he simply ordered people to make himself unable to step down in this court meeting.
Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhu couldn't help glaring at Liu Jian fiercely, I have already said that you are not allowed to mention it again, but you still want to make trouble, do you really take my words as the wind in your ears? That's fine, if you are a loyal minister, whether it is death or bitter persuasion, why do you secretly encourage people to make trouble here?
Liu Jian happened to catch Zhu Youzhang's stern gaze, and at this time he also felt that things were strange, but strange things were strange, he already understood in his heart that Zhu Youzhu must be suspicious of himself, making small moves behind his back, and the target was still the emperor, which was suspected of disloyalty, no matter how calm Liu Jian was, he also felt endless pressure at this time.
Zhu Youzhu took a deep breath at this time, and said lightly: "Ladies and gentlemen, what you said is not unreasonable, but now that the Xuanfu has just stabilized, if the imperial court urgently recalls the Marquis of Lianzhou, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate, this matter, I will think about it again, and I will talk about it later, now I want to talk about the disaster in Nanchang Mansion, the disaster is like fire, how can I be careless, wait for the disaster relief......"
Zhu Youzhu thought about the matter and Ning Ren, this matter can be delayed, but he didn't expect that someone interrupted him at this time, and Cai Chang, who was the first to stand up, said: "Since Your Majesty doesn't mention Xuanfu, then Weichen has the courage to say a word, Wechen heard that King Ning has been willing to marry the Marquis of Lianzhou, and is willing to marry his second daughter to the Marquis of Lianzhou, Wechen secretly thought that although Liu Chengfeng already has a wife, but he has made a great contribution to the court, if the Marquis of Lianzhou can really marry King Ning, it can be regarded as the luck of the court, Your Majesty, this family matter, you might as well promise it, It may be a good story......"
All of a sudden, everyone froze...... King Ning actually intended to marry his second daughter to Liu Chengfeng, but he didn't hear any rumors, didn't King Ning and Liu Chengfeng turn against each other? What's going on?
In fact, it was not only them who were shocked, but also Zhu Youjiao, because this matter was implicated in the clan, it was extremely sensitive, so when King Ning revealed the wind, the Zongling Mansion did not dare to be proficient, nor did it dare to spread it easily, but directly made Zhu Youzhang known, and Zhu Youzhu only gave the news to Liu Jian, and in addition, it was only revealed in the letter to Liu Chengfeng.
So for Zhu Youzhang, this matter is absolutely impossible to disclose, several high-ranking officials in the Zongling Mansion are relatives of the emperor, and these people naturally have to cover up the shame of the clan, but now, the news has been revealed, the person who leaked the news is definitely not Liu Chengfeng, Liu Chengfeng is in the Xuanfu, and this matter involves himself, and leaking the news will not do him any good.
So who else is left?
Zhu Youzhang's gaze suddenly became as sharp as a knife, and he looked at Liu Jian with an aggressive gaze.
This is not wrong, Liu Jian has this motive, he wholeheartedly wants to recall Liu Chengfeng, so he made concessions to me on the surface, but he did not rest, but let the officials under him stand up against it, and even left a back hand, if I am not succumbed to the ministers, then simply take out a killer idea, spread the news that King Ning wants to marry Liu Chengfeng, and ask King Ning to marry Liu Chengfeng, so that Liu Chengfeng wants to come back to prepare for the marriage, it is naturally not suitable to stay in Xuanfu anymore, and once he and King Ning have a relationship, Do I dare to use Liu Chengfeng again?
In this way, Liu Jian's goal was naturally achieved.
It's just that...... Zhu Youzhu was angry at this time, he boasted that he was meticulous to several cabinet ministers, and usually obeyed them, so he always thought that the cabinet was the most selfless to him, the emperor, and Liu Jian was extremely loyal to him, but now, he suddenly had a feeling of being played, which was a very strong sense of shame, and his kindness was now exchanged for this result. In order to achieve his own goals, Liu Jian did not hesitate to contact the minister privately, and made him unable to step down from the court meeting, and what was even more terrifying was that Liu Jian's actions were even similar to forcing the palace.
