Anger loomed in Zhu Gaochi's eyes, but he couldn't attack Xue Lu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info The other party is not only a great contributor to the appeasement, but also took care of his father and son during the Yongle years, his son is still in Jiulongkou, and he died in order to protect Zhu Zhanji!

What's more, Xue Lu still occupies the great gift of Lunchang, but Confucius said: 'Three years have not changed the way of the father, which can be described as filial piety!' 'Ahh

Being reasonable, Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but maintain a pleasant face to Xue Lu, and let out a long breath of turbidity, and the emperor said patiently: "Old marquis, the first emperor has no will, saying that the university non-commissioned officer only has five grades and cannot be promoted." ”

"The first emperor didn't say that, but he has been doing it like this for twenty years!" Xue Lu said angrily: "This is the first emperor's attempt to prevent the dictatorship of the scholars from resurrecting the prime minister!" Xue Lu said, staring at Zhu Gaochi with a pair of bull's eyes and said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Taizu's ancestral teachings, who dares to reinstate the prime minister in future generations, kill!" Not! Pardon! ”

The last three words, Xue Lu almost squirted out! Fortunately, the emperor was far away, so he was not splashed in his face by spitting stars......

But Zhu Gaochi's face has become iron-blue and iron-blue.

Xue Lu looked at the emperor indifferently, as if he was sure that he couldn't do anything with himself.

"What Hou Ye said makes sense, Your Majesty thinks twice!" Ding Guogong also echoed his words: "If you want to reward scholars, you can use other methods, the system set by Taizu Taizong cannot be changed!" ”

"Yes! The emperor thinks twice! Seeing this prince and the marquis standing up, all the nobles were polite, and they came out one after another, echoing their support.

On the side of the civil officials, Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi and others naturally couldn't speak for themselves, Jian Yi and other senior officials also kept silent strangely, and the civil officials below just spoke, and they didn't have the strength to compete with the nobles.

Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting high on the dragon chair, felt so lonely and powerless at the moment, forcibly suppressed the anger in his chest, and slowly waved his hand and said, "I think about it again......"

"The Emperor Shengming!" Yang Wuhou immediately shut up and retreated.

"The Emperor Shengming!" Dingguo Gong also retreated, and all the nobles naturally shut up and returned to their original positions, but there was a smug smile on their faces...... Look at it, even the emperor doesn't dare to be angry! Especially the wrath of our nobles!

"It's so unbelievable!" After retiring from the dynasty, Zhu Gaochi slapped the table and said angrily: "I know that they will definitely use their ancestors to suppress me!" I didn't expect them to be so impatient! ”

"They can't hold back for a long time." Yang Pu sighed and said: "The emperor stopped procurement, weaving, tribute, shipbuilding, Huangzhuang, and going to the West, which all cut off the financial routes of those nobles, and they couldn't refute the emperor head-on, so they used this method to dispel it." ”

"I and my father respect them because they are heroes! But now they are all fat intestines who only know how to suck people's fat and ointment! Zhu Gaochi gritted his teeth and said, "In my opinion, they are now a group of pests!" ”

"Your Majesty is angry, my Ming Dynasty's military power can be in the hands of the nobles, and I can't stimulate them too much!" Yang Rong hurriedly persuaded that he had experienced the rebellion of King Zhao and knew too well the importance of military power.

"But we can't let them succeed so easily!" Zhu Gaochi slapped the stack of holy decrees on the table, which he wanted to read at today's court meeting, but the first decree was refuted, and if he continued to announce it, he would only bring humiliation on himself! Therefore, Zhu Gaochi could only suppress these wills, and the grievances in his heart can be imagined.

"Actually, if you deal with those martial artists and use your brains more, you can always think of a way." Yang Shiqi chuckled lightly and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I think the minister is foolish, it seems that this matter can be flexible, and the same purpose can be achieved." ”

"Oh, how to be flexible?" Zhu Gaochi knew that Yang Shiqi was resourceful, and immediately cast his expectant gaze.

"We can not change the taste of the bachelor set by the first emperor, but we can use part-time work to achieve the same purpose." Yang Shiqi said softly: "This is something they can't object, because as a prince, they also hold a military position, which is a part-time job. ”

"Great idea!" Everyone's eyes lit up and they praised one after another.

"Not bad!" Zhu Gaochi also came to his senses, and said: "If this road doesn't work, let's take a detour, I will let you serve as a ministry official and a university scholar at the same time, so that you can not only improve your official position, but also keep you in the cabinet!" He said in a loud voice: "In this way, the system of the first emperor has not been violated, look at what they say!" ”

"The emperor is wise!" The big stone in the hearts of the scholars fell to the ground.

"In addition," Zhu Gaochi groaned for a while, and asked slowly, "Do Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng have any descendants?" ”

......The emperor's leap was so great that the scholars who were calm and composed were stunned. Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng were the confidants of Emperor Jianwen, the promoter and main executor of the cutting of the domain, and even the maker of the Battle of Jingjing.

Now that the emperor mentioned these two people, the scholars were nervous, and Jin Youzi said softly: "Qi Tai has a son, who was only six years old at the time, so he was spared death, and now he is a pawn in the border town, and he should still be alive." After a pause, he said: "As for Huang Zicheng, the whole family should have been killed." ”

"It is said that Huang Zicheng has a son who escaped by changing his surname back then, and now he is missing."

"Let's put Qi Tai's son back," Zhu Gaochi said with a heavy expression: "Check the whereabouts of Huang Zicheng's son again, and if he is still alive, pardon him." ”

"The emperor's ......" Although he was determined to mess with the emperor, several scholars were still pale in shock, trembling and unable to speak.

Zhu Gaochi didn't seem to notice the strangeness of the scholar, closed his eyes slightly, pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "What about Fang Xiaoru, are there any descendants?" ”

"Your Majesty, are you talking about the Fang Xiaoru who was exterminated by the Ten Clans?" Huang Huai asked in a trembling voice.

"Is there any other Fang Xiaoru?" Zhu Gaochi opened his eyes, looked at his scholar calmly, and said slowly: "The first emperor is difficult, right and wrong, I can't evaluate it." But Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru, and Tie Xuan were all loyal ministers to the imperial court at that time. Historically, after the change of dynasty, we will set up a list for the loyal ministers of the previous dynasty, not to mention that we have not changed the dynasty. Zhu Gaochi said in an accentuated tone: "Now that we want to set things right, I think it will start here!" ”

"Your Majesty! Think again! The scholars felt that the pores of their bodies were exploding, and they persuaded in a trembling voice: "They are traitors set by the first emperor, if they are rehabilitated, what are the princes of the court now, and the holy name of the first emperor will also be damaged!" ”

"But if this matter is not changed, it will be difficult to win the hearts of the people of the world," Zhu Gaochi said slowly: "If the people's hearts are not aligned, nothing can be done." After a pause, he said in a low voice: "What's more, the first emperor did this, it is inevitable that the hearts of the loyal ministers in the world will be chilled, if one day in the future, who will be loyal to his descendants?" ”

"Your Majesty......" What kind of figures are a few scholars, how can they not hear the meaning of Zhu Gaochi's words - as long as Fang Xiaoru and others succeed in overturning the case, even if it is just to pardon their children and grandchildren, it will seriously shake the prestige of the first emperor and make those nobles no longer have anything to rely on! In this way, the reform can be carried out!

The scholars secretly looked at the merciful emperor and realized that this was also the master who hid needles in the cotton! Didn't you nobles rely on the emperor to fight against me? Then I will overthrow the first emperor and see what you have to rely on!

"Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial, and it needs to be considered in the long run......" Yang Rong persuaded softly.

"So I didn't overturn the case for them immediately, but just pardoned their children and grandchildren......" Zhu Gaochi said, with a sadness in his eyes and said, "If they still have children and grandchildren." ”

"Your Majesty is merciful...... the scholars whispered.

"In addition, I am going to transfer the positions of the nobles." Zhu Gaochi said in a deep voice: "It's not a good thing to stay in one place for a long time. ”

In the mansion of the Marquis of Yangwu, the Duke of Chengguo, the Duke of Dingguo, and those Hou Grandpas and uncles were all there, I don't know who told a joke, which caused the hall to laugh.

It can be seen that today's push back to the emperor in the court makes the nobles extremely happy.

"How about it, the old man is not mistaken, the emperor is such a character, if you are hard, he will be soft, don't think that he is the emperor, just listen to him!" Xue Lu sat there with a big sword and a golden horse, and said triumphantly.

"Old Xue," Wang Tong looked at Xue Lu with a smile: "I didn't expect you to be the first to stand up." I thought you had a good relationship with the emperor, so you shouldn't pick this head. ”

"Not bad...... an unnatural look flashed on Xue Lu's face, and the next moment, he smiled and said, "So what, you can't watch the emperor force everyone to a dead end, right?" ”

"The old marquis is really benevolent!" Everyone praised.

"Of course......" Xue Lu caged his beard and nodded proudly. But there was a trace of regret in his heart, he knew that after today's incident, the emperor was afraid that he would hate himself. But he did not regret doing so, because he was very aggrieved in his heart - Xue Lu was the number one martyr who was still alive, but the title had been on the marquis for twenty years. Xue Lu knew that Zhu Di looked down on him a little, so he pinned his hopes on the prince and grandson early.

For this reason, when all the nobles were alienated from the prince and grandson, Xue Lu resolutely sent his two sons to the vanguard of the government army, the eldest son also died in Jiulongkou for the grandson, and the second son also repeatedly saved the prince and grandson in danger, and he was covered with bruises and his temperament changed greatly. Xue Lu felt to himself that the sacrifice and merit of his family was not an exaggeration to change to a duke. However, after Zhu Gaochi ascended the throne, he only named Wang Xian a duke, and he had no intention of rewarding himself at all!

This made the old marquis full of anger, and finally couldn't help but fire at the emperor. Xungui interfered in politics, in the Yongle Dynasty, it was unimaginable, and this group of nobles obviously did not regard the new monarch as the same lord as the previous emperor......

The nobles were triumphant, thinking about how to make persistent efforts to set up rules for the emperor, when suddenly, Wang Tong's son came in from outside, sweating profusely and shouting: "The emperor has decreed, and he has been promoted to the rank of cabinet scholar!" ”
