When the court discussed this part, it could no longer continue. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhu Youzhang's face turned pale, and then he brushed his sleeves away.

In the main hall, the courtiers had not dispersed, and when they saw Zhu Youjiao's back, they were dumbfounded, in fact, from the beginning, they didn't expect the emperor's attitude to be so resolute, it seems that this time it is not so simple.

Some people unconsciously rushed towards Liu Jian, Liu Jian was surrounded by people, and some people couldn't help asking: "Elder Liu Ge, who provoked the emperor and made the emperor go his own way?" The matter of the forbidden sea is absolutely non-negotiable, and once this example is opened, the country will not be a country. ”

Liu Jian frowned, waved his hand and said, "You don't have to gather here, let's go back to the room." ”

dispersed everyone, Liu Jian also went to the cabinet to work, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian did not speak, looking a little worried, this matter is getting more and more tricky, the emperor is iron-hearted.

After a while, a eunuch came in, holding an edict, and said, "Your Majesty has just drafted a decree for the cabinet to issue and ask a few adults to look at." ”

Liu Jian raised his eyes and said lightly: "Take it." ”

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian also raised their heads, wanting to see what His Majesty's holy decree was written.

After receiving the holy decree, Liu Jian unfolded the draft holy decree and looked at it, and then his face became gloomy.

Liu Jian calmly put the holy decree on the case, then glanced at Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, and said slowly: "Your Majesty's will is here, open the sea ......"

"Open the sea!" Xie Qian was immediately taken aback, the emperor hadn't discussed it with the cabinet ministers, and now he sent the holy decree down, isn't this a clear plan to catch the cabinet off guard? This has never happened before, and it seems that the emperor really intends to break the net.

"Hmph, the sea ban must not be opened, once it is opened, how can you and I explain to the princes of Gongon? Besides, the emperor didn't even inform our cabinet, so he suddenly issued a holy decree and asked the cabinet to redraft, and as soon as this example was opened, I was afraid that it would ......"

Xie Qian shook his head, looking very weak. In fact, this time the struggle made the cabinet elders a little helpless, in the past, they served the emperor, sincere unity, even if there were big difficulties, at least they could work together, but now it is different, now they are facing the object of their allegiance, at this time, not only Xie Qian, almost all of them have mixed feelings.

"Seal it back, this holy decree, the cabinet will not obey it." After Li Dongyang was silent, he said slowly, if His Majesty really wants to open the sea with an iron heart, the cabinet will never act for the tiger, and at least show the attitude of the cabinet when he returns the edict.

The so-called return means that when the cabinet thinks that the emperor's will is unacceptable, it will send the order back to the palace. If the emperor's decree is to be implemented, it must first be drafted by the cabinet, and after the cabinet drafts, it will be sent to the celebrant for approval, and then it will be sent back to the cabinet, and the cabinet will send the decree to the relevant departments for specific implementation.

Once the cabinet does not draft, then this holy decree is equivalent to less effectiveness, after all, no matter how big the emperor is, what he says must be implemented by someone, if it is just an ordinary canonization decree, it is just a direct bypass to the cabinet. However, it is impossible to bypass the cabinet for a major event like the opening of the sea. The cabinet is closed, and there is nothing to be done in the palace.

It's just that everyone here knows that once it is returned, the relationship between the cabinet and the palace will be stiff, and this kind of thing really needs to be done, but the sequelae are not small, but it has to be done now.

Liu Jian nodded his head and said, "That's all it can be." ”

The news in the court is becoming more and more shocking, the emperor issued a holy decree, but the cabinet was sealed back, and in the second day, another holy decree came down, it was still the opening of the sea, and the cabinet had already felt endless pressure, in their current opinion, opening the sea and banning the sea is no longer a problem, it is a big deal that the strong man breaks his wrist and abandons the interests of the Jiangnan family, but it is really not appropriate to go against the emperor for this.

It's just that they are also difficult to ride a tiger, if they don't take a stand, they will inevitably be thought that the cabinet is a tiger, and they will think that the cabinet is a kowtow, even if the emperor does not blame him, when the world talks about it, the cabinet minister will have to resign.

How many cabinet ministers were planted in the struggle between the emperor and the cabinet, for this kind of thing, the pressure on Liu Jian and the three of them was extremely great, and in the end they had to still seal back the emperor's second holy decree.

Third, early in the morning, when the court was meeting, the ministers who couldn't hold back began to make trouble again, and dozens of people jointly resigned, including two Shangshu, and Zhu Youzhu did not speak or panic about the resignations proposed by these people, but chose to be silent. However, once the matter of the sea ban was discussed, Zhu Youzhu still fought on the basis of reason, and vowed not to give up if the sea ban was not opened.

No one would have thought that a sea ban would actually come to this point, but now, there is only a hard head to fight, the matter of the sea ban is no longer a simple sea ban issue, it has been related to the issue of the virtue of the ministers, once a minister stands up for the sea ban to fight with the emperor, it will immediately get countless applause, if someone resigns for this, it is even more amazing, the moment of resignation and departure from Beijing, the crowd of people go to farewell.

At the same time, if anyone submits to the palace, he will immediately incur countless scoldings, disrepute, betrayal and separation, and even his own teachers and protégés will cut off their robes and break their righteousness, and they will not communicate with each other.

Zhu Youzhu made another move, he began to hide, and every time the court meeting was originally held, he deduced that he was not feeling well, so he gave up, and even the usual summons to the cabinet ministers also stopped. What is the emperor going to do, is the jar broken?

At this time, the ministers were a little panicked, at first everyone resigned together, which could have frightened the emperor, but who knew that now the emperor's actions scared them.

Today's emperor is a rare virtuous monarch, the biggest advantage is diligence, it can be said that ten years are like a word, and the industry is admirable, but now, the emperor actually said that he was not sick, what does this mean? Isn't this clearly telling everyone that if the ministers refuse to support the opening of the sea, the emperor will leave political affairs alone?

The cabinet has become an ant on a hot pot, and such a tough attitude of the emperor will only lead to a lose-lose situation, which is not a good thing for anyone, what should I do next?

Before the cabinet could make an idea, some people could not hold it back, and many officials went to the noon gate, knelt outside the noon gate and asked His Majesty to discuss politics, and at the same time asked His Majesty not to mention the matter of opening the sea.

There are more and more such ministers, first in twos and threes, and then into dozens or hundreds, anyway, everyone is on the line, and the emperor does not change his mind and does not admit his mistakes, so they continue to fight. As for Zhu Youjiao, if the court refuses to agree with his proposal, he will continue to recuperate.

The boiling discussion filled the streets and alleys, and almost everyone began to talk about the matter outside the noon gate, and the ministers and officials who usually had five or six people were now kneeling there, neither going to the top nor going home to rest, their attitude was very clear, if the emperor insisted on going his own way, they would continue to kneel.

The palace seems to be silent, things have intensified, to the point where it is becoming more and more difficult to clean up, whether it is the palace or the court, there must be someone to make a regression, the cabinet sandwiched between these two sides, in fact, is the most headache, on the one hand, the officials talk about the ancestral system, on the other hand, the palace wants to change, if the attitude of the cabinet is too tough, it will inevitably make the palace embarrassed, and even cause a greater crisis. But if you show weakness, will the hundred officials agree?

Liu Jian hasn't slept well for a few days, and there are more and more recitals piled up on the cabinet side, and the emperor will read them in the past, but now he can't say that he is sick, so the big and small affairs of the Ming Dynasty have to be handled by the cabinet, and Liu Jian already feels exhausted.

The news over there at noon is getting worse and worse, and several old ministers have been unable to bear the fainting past, but fortunately, the treatment is timely, and it is not a big problem, but the matter is already obvious, if it continues like this, the consequences will be more serious.

Zhu Youzhu is not sick, but the mood of these days is also very bad, although he knows the outcome of this matter, and he also knows that the attitude of the court officials will be so tough, but when he really kicks this iron plate, he still feels a little bit of a nest, the dignified son of heaven, the holy decree can not pass, but it is sealed back, the civil and military officials not only did not obey the order, but knelt at the noon gate, and he must take back his life, Zhu Youzhu is of course unhappy.

Five days have passed since the incident, and in the past five days, Zhu Youzhang's mood has become worse and worse, and when he got up early this morning, he didn't even let people pass on the news, and the surname Suo didn't listen to it.

After sitting in this Zhengxin Hall for a while, Zhu Youzhu felt a little uncomfortable, he had been diligent for more than ten years, and now he suddenly stopped, which made him a little at a loss, and he didn't know what to do.

Zhu Youzhuo's surname asked someone to send the recitals of the past few days, these recitals are actually the same, all of them talk about the opening of the sea, and they are all about maintaining the ancestral system.

"Humph! Ancestral ...... It's the trouble of Emperor Taizu to find me! Zhu Youzhu read a few books, and then threw the book aside, this big basket of books don't need to look at it at all, you know what will be written in it, he lay down on the chair gently, his eyes are half open and half closed, thinking about something, and then smiled slightly, showing a smile that the conspiracy has succeeded, and said slowly: "Since you want to talk about the ancestral system, then I will let you know what the ancestral system is!" ”
