Chapter 191: Court Discussion (II)

As soon as Zhu Di said his words, the ministers in the hall cast their eyes and looked at Bao Yuanqian like a thousand arrows piercing his heart.

If there was no one next to Bao Yuanqian, he lifted the wat board in a mock manner. He didn't know what Zhu Di wanted to break through, but now it seems that he has guessed seven or eight points, and he has to start this matter himself.

"Enlightening the Holy Heavens, what the Saibei tribes are trying to do is just a small profit. Their raids to the south are nothing more than the closure of the border gates, and it is extremely difficult to obtain supplies, so they will take risks." Bao Yuanqian's mind raced, and he said slowly: "If we can open a few mutual markets at the border by the government and trade materials in a peaceful way, then who among the Tatars is willing to lick the blood from the knife and take risks?"

As soon as he said this, Yang Rong and the others looked gloomy and frowned, but they understood people, and their minds were already active. Xin Dao, Bao Yuanqian, as a civil official scholar, did not speak for the civil officials, but agreed with the suggestions of the warriors to make peace.

"Bao Yuanqian, you are so presumptuous!" Fang Bin beside him pointed at him and scolded, "I am in the kingdom, how can I compromise with Yiyidi?! Holy Lord, this person is a giant girl, and this word should be punished!"

Zhu Dihu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled noncommittally.

Bao Yuanqian said to Fang Bin: "I just deeply agree with the proposal of Qi Guogong and Fengcheng Hou, how can I become a giant girl? If the mutual market can replace war to solve difficult problems, why not give it a try? Lord Fang, do you know how many soldiers and people need to be recruited once the army goes out of the fortress? How many taels of silver will it cost? How many thousands of stones of grain and grass do we need to mobilize? Will the blocked northern section of the Grand Canal be able to withstand such a volume of grain and grass transportation?"

The war is not fought by the army, but by the grain and grass. For 10,000 combat soldiers, at least 30,000 to 50,000 men need to transport grain and grass in the back, and they dare not rest for a day.

It is impossible to raise this grain and grass from the north alone, where people's livelihoods are withering, and it is impossible to transport it from the north by water, which will encounter a blockage in the northern section of the canal. You can only rely on people to carry horses and horses, climb over Taihang, Yanshan and other mountains, and get out of the jam with difficulty, and its difficulties can be imagined.

Fang Bin said, "How can there be no damage in war? If the battle is successful, even at the cost of a few casualties, it can be done once and for all!"

"It used to be possible, but now it can't!" Bao Yuanqian said sharply, "The Marquis of Fengcheng has said again and again, it has been difficult for several years, and the national strength has been extremely depleted. Now that it is the time to recuperate, how can you use the sword to go north again? Lord Fang has ever thought that if the Tatars avoid fighting and attack the west, what kind of loss will it be if our army's grain and grass are delayed for a long time? 10,000 people will eat 100 stone of grain and grass in a day, and an army of 100,000 will eat 1,000 stone of grain and grass a day. If it is protracted, can the withered livelihood of the Northland last for a long time? Will the grain and grass from the south be able to reach the north immediately? If the first battle is lost, it will be a change of attack and defense in an instant, and not only will the Northern Expedition be futile, but the flames of war will even be burned to the Great Wall!"

Li Jinglong nodded secretly, and when he saw that Bao Yuanqian was really speaking for the general, he was naturally happy. He walked out and said, "Qi Qi Sheng, Wei Chen thinks that Bao Yuanqian's words are reasonable, but now that the Grand Canal is blocked, it is really difficult to withstand the needs of the army's northern expedition."

Bao Yuanqian said: "Besides, Weichen's intention is definitely not to reconcile with Tatar."

"What do you mean?" Zhu Di was still noncommittal and asked lightly.

Bao Yuan knew that it was time for him to bring the topic to the place where he wanted to hear it.

He said respectfully, "These tribes of the northern part of the country, greedy for money and good things, short-sighted, have to live day by day. Wechen asked for the mutual market, just to buy time for the Ming to recuperate, one of them first paralyzed the Tatar tribes with such a warm boiled frog strategy as the mutual market, so that they thought that the Ming compromise had no time to look north. The second is that the outside must first be settled inside, and now the white lotus is rampant, and the people's hearts are scattered. It is necessary for the Ming Dynasty to deal with such internal affairs and people's livelihood after a few years, dredge the canal, and with the power of the lion to fight the rabbit, and then go north when everything is safe, and the Tatars will be in a hurry to flee north, that is the policy once and for all!"

"Okay, worthy of a university scholar, a good boiled frog in warm water, a strategy for the outside and the inside." Qiu Fu was the first to echo and said, "Holy Lord, the minister thinks that the words of the scholar are really wonderful!"

Bao Yuanqian listened to Qiu Fuying and himself, and felt funny in his heart, and said in his heart that Bao Ye not only spoke well, but it was even more wonderful to kill your son with one shot.

Zhu Di nodded with a smile, glanced at Xia Yuanji to the side and said, "What does Xia Aiqing think?"

Xia Yuanji responded and said: "The minister is in charge of the household department, and he knows that the imperial court is struggling, and it is not suitable for the Northern Expedition. What the university scholar said was reasonable, and the minister had no objection."

Xia Yuan Ji is a person who is a man of his word, since he is so seconded, although many people in the Wenchen whisper, but they do not dare to speak again.

Huang Huai and Xie Jin abducted Yang Rong and threw away a puzzled look. Yang Rong squinted at Bao Yuanqian, frowning but not saying a word.

Zhu Di listened to Xia Yuanji's words, then he laughed lightly, slowly got up and paced with his hands in his hands, and said: "I think that Bao Yuanqian's words are reasonable, but now this white lotus is rampant, and it is really a problem for elbows and armpits. If you don't get rid of this thief, Ankeyan will go on a northern expedition to the Tatars?!"

His tone took a sharp turn, and the ice was to the bone. Subconsciously glanced at Ji Gang on the side, and Ji Gang hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"But Jinyiwei, who is the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven, has failed to arrest him several times, and he is very angry. I inherited the unification, and only then did I make an exception to enable the Jinyi Guard... However, the Son of Heaven's pro-army neglected their duties, and the White Lotus Sect repeatedly failed to track it down, and even allowed it to collude with the ronin to assassinate the king." Zhu Di's fist clenched on the ground and gurgled, and he said coldly: "Although I am ninety-five, I am deaf and deaf, and I can only let the palace people on duty when I take a break, and the brocade guard really disappoints the widow."

"It is hard to escape the blame for the sin, let down the Sacred Heart, please punish the Holy One!"

Ji Gang knelt aside, shouting for guilt, and his knees were extremely subservient.

Zhu Di snorted coldly and didn't look at him. glanced at the ministers, the ministers were silent, and even Fang Bin, who had just made the most noise, Hu Guang leaned aside, for fear of angering Zhu Di.

Bao Yuanqian looked at both sides, and saw that they all looked like turtles with their heads shrunk, he sighed lightly and thought about it in his heart, and raised his eyes to look directly at Zhu Di.

Kneeling on the ground and raising his voice, he said, "The minister has a strategy, which can make the white lotus fall in a whirlwind, and can make the saint sit back and relax!"

As soon as he said a word, the ministers on both sides of the civil and military sides looked at him, and said in his heart, "This guy is coming to touch his head at this time?

Zhu Di smiled and said happily, "Oh? Get up quickly, what do you have to do?!"

Bao Yuanqian stood up and bowed and said, "Qi Qi Sheng, the minister thinks that the ineffectiveness of the Jinyi Guard is mostly due to the fact that his power is too big. Except for the Holy Lord, there are very few people who can control the Jinyi Guard, and it is very likely that they will become the private property of some ambitious people, and they will pretend to be public and private."

When Yang Rong and the others heard this, they raised their eyebrows and were overjoyed. Unexpectedly, although this Bao Yuanqian was standing on the side of the martial artist, he didn't expect to turn his head and give the martial artist a dismount.

This brocade guard is Zhao Xi and Ji Gang are in charge, even if Ji Gang is not the same faction, but Zhao Xi was really offended by Bao Yuanqian's words!

Sure enough, Li Jinglong and Zhao Xi frowned, and looked at Bao Yuanqian with resentment and puzzlement in their eyes. Ji Gang gritted his teeth and looked at Bao Yuanqian fiercely.

Zhu Diwu nodded to himself, a look of pride emerged, and Bao Yuanqian continued while the iron was hot: "The minister suggested that the Jinyi Wei could be divided into the two divisions of the north and south to calm and fu, with the north division in charge of affairs, and then the south division to supervise the north division, so as to prevent the Jinyi Wei from colluding and forming a faction of its own!"

Before Zhu Di could speak, Hu Guang on the side squeezed out and said, "This statement of the scholar is actually the words of governing the country and being loyal to the king, and the minister seconded it!"

Another person walked out vigorously and said, "Minister Yang Shiqi also seconded the proposal!"

The civil servants were noisy, kneeling down in a daze, and followed closely behind.

Zhu Di saw the civil official's statement like this, and looked at Bao Yuanqian with a look of joy and waited for his later text.

Bao Yuanqian made a gesture and said slowly: "In addition, half of the Jinyi Guards should be allocated from the middle and a special office should be set up alongside the original Jinyi Guard, and the power of the Jinyi Guards should be in charge of the same power."

Yang Rong and the others were overjoyed, seeing the sad faces of the military attache group on the side, the most important Jinyi Wei among the secret martial artists also had this day. He is a master of observing words and feelings, how can he not see that Zhu Di is quite happy after hearing Bao Yuanqian's advice?

Zhu Di nodded, sang and said with Bao Yuanqian, "But who will be in charge of the Arrest Department? If you choose from the brocade guards, won't you repeat the mistakes of the past?"

Zhu Di's answer is already coming out, how could Bao Yuanqian not know?

Bao Yuanqian smiled lightly: "The Holy One can be married

The people of the Palace of Faith are in charge of the Arrest Department, perform the responsibilities of the commander, hinder each other with the Jinyi Guard, negotiate and work together with the Jinyi Guard, and report to the Holy God every day, this white lotus matter can only be broken with a snap of a finger. In addition, the celebrant can set up an inner study hall for him to study, and submit it to the Holy Lord for approval and refuted in a recent official document, so that the Holy One can sleep peacefully and not worry about the affairs of the court."

As soon as he said this, the civil and military forces were in an uproar. Jian Xia and the two looked at each other and sighed.

Qiu Fu, who had just said that he was wonderful, was also deflated now.

Yang Rong, who was still secretly overjoyed, changed his face in an instant, he never expected that Bao Yuanqian would be a martial arts general and kick a civil official, and he would not let go of one!

Yang Rong got up and said, "No, no, no!"

"Er wolf ambition, Lord Fang just said it right, Er is a giant girl!" Hu Guang lifted his hem, hurriedly walked over and pointed at Bao Yuanqian and scolded, and then said to Zhu Di: "Holy Lord, this person has an improper heart and is trying to cause trouble for the dynasty. The minister risked his life to admonish and behead this thief!"

Zhao Xi bowed down and said, "The saint must not, the eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, it is the legacy of Taizu. It is difficult for the Holy Lord to worship the heavens, but it is the inheritance of the Taizu's business, how can the eunuchs in the palace be used!?"

Li Jinglong and the others all shouted "no", and beat Zhu Di with the ancestral system, so that he could not act rashly.

Although Zhu Di is confident, but in the face of the civil and military ministers kneeling on the ground, some ugly words can't be said by himself, the son of heaven, and this black cauldron naturally has to be carried by someone.

His blazing eyes shot directly at Bao Yuanqian, and when this critical situation was critical, he could only wait for his words to break the game.

Bao Yuanqian looked at the prostrate crowd around him, shook his head and said with a smile: "The princes eat the king's fortune, but they share their worries. The high-sounding words of the ancestral system are chiseled, but they don't know that they are treacherous in words and deeds. Lord Zhao said that the Taizu legacy system was very good, but the lower officials remembered that the Jinyi Guard was abolished as early as the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, I wonder if this is considered the Taizu legacy system?"

"You!" Zhao Xi turned his head and said angrily, "Jinyiwei is the restoration of the current saint, you dare to question Jinyiwei!?"

Bao Yuanqian sneered and said lightly, "Then Lord Zhao means that the Holy Lord has violated the ancestral system? I rule the country with filial piety, but are you pouring dirty water on the saint, implying that the saint does not obey the ancestral system and does not abide by filial piety?!"

Zhao Xi was angry, but he was speechless for a while. This brocade guard was indeed abolished by Ming Taizu, and now it has been used by Zhu Di as an exception, and it is already unruly, and now Bao Yuanqian is pouring dirty water on his head, how dare he talk nonsense.

Hu Guang got up and said, "Holy Lord, how can this eunuch have someone who interferes in politics? The eunuch is just a waiting palace person, with no merit or military merit, what qualifications do you have to set up a separate investigation office, and even supervise the Jinyi Guard!? The inner study hall is even more contrary to the ancestral system, this thief is the first giant girl in the ages, and he should be killed!"

Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi also came out one after another, shouting that it was impossible to say bluntly that the decline of the late Tang Dynasty in the past year was the beginning of the eunuchs' power.

Fang Bin was even more angry, and bluntly said that he would die with Bao Yuanqian, a female cadre.

This civil official spoke for Jinyiwei, which is a rare wonder in this court. In the past, for Jinyiwei, these civil officials mourned their immortality and angered them.

It stands to reason that even if the eunuchs are admiralizing the Jinyi guards, their civil officials are also happy to enjoy their achievements. But when Bao Yuanqian said that the inner study hall of the celebrant prison involved the power of the literati, seeing the rise of the eunuch, a third party, they couldn't bear it anymore, and in an instant, they actually spoke for Jinyiwei.

Bao Yuanqian stroked his palms and said with a smile, "Lord Hu, Lord Yang said it very well. The Ming Dynasty has regulations, and those who have no military merits, no merit and no recommendation are not allowed to be officials. Then I would like to ask Lord Hu and the two Lord Yang, are you the fame of the Hongwu Dynasty or the fame of the Yongle Dynasty today, why did you get the position of a scholar!?"

As soon as he said this, several people were dumbfounded.

No one in the Fengtian Hall knows that most of these cabinet members are the champions of the Jianwen Dynasty. According to legal theory, Zhu Di does not recognize the Jianwen Dynasty, but the Hongwu Dynasty, so these Jinshi champions of the Jianwen Dynasty do not have legitimacy!.

The ministers in the hall were silent, for fear of causing death. But Bao Yuanqian is not afraid, and now that he is instructed by Zhu Di to deal with this group of military generals, it is natural that the gods will block and kill the gods and Buddhas, and they will definitely be allowed to go out.

Others are taboo and don't say anything, but he is

Be outspoken. If this thing is done well today, it will naturally be a great achievement, if it is done badly, then wait for Zhu Di to sharpen his knife!

Sure enough, Zhu Di was not only not angry when he heard this, but crossed his waist and looked at the deflated ministers quite uninhibitedly, and nodded straight.

Hu Guang was so angry that he pointed at Bao Yuanqian and was speechless for a long time.

Yang Rong was not stunned and said, "Although we are pseudo-courtiers, we are also appointed by the Holy Lord to enter the cabinet, but Lord Bao is dissatisfied with the Holy Lord's intentions?"

Bao Yuanqian also gave a salute and said, "Lord Yang, how dare you. What I mean is that since the Holy Lord can disobey the ancestral system and use the country's worries to promote you puppet ministers and re-establish the Jinyi Guard. Why can't you make an arbitrary decision, set up a detective department, and then use the palace people to write it? Could it be that in the eyes of all of you civil and military, only yourself is the pillar, and everyone else is powder. Or is it... Your Excellency is actually forming a party for personal gain, and you don't allow others to get involved? In any case, I still advise Lord Yang, you are eating the grain of the Ming Dynasty, don't do anything out of the ordinary."

Hu Guang scolded: "Dog thief! In the Fengtian Temple, he is so clever that he is telling right and wrong!"

Bao Yuanqian didn't look at him, and bowed straight to Zhu Di and said, "Holy Lord, the minister is guilty."

Zhu Di smiled lightly, "What crime?"

Bao Yuanqian said: "Please punish the sin of vain words of the ministers, as Lord Hu said, the ministers are clever and speak vainly. It's just that since Lord Hu said that he must abide by the ancestral system and that eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, then please follow what he said, abide by the ancestral system, immediately abolish Jinyiwei and then remove Lord Hu and Lord Yang from their official positions, and punish them for the crime of serving the puppet dynasty according to the ancestral system. In this way, it will show that the Holy One is just and impartial, and he will surely be able to convince all the officials and praise the whole world."

His move is to retreat into advance, and he has already tied the interests of the civil and military factions with the eunuchs. Since you keep saying that you will abide by the ancestral system, then I, Bao Yuanqian, will use this spear to break the shield.

Since the ancestral system is observed, it will be treated equally. Eunuchs are indeed not allowed to interfere in politics, so the brocade guards should also be abolished, and several members of the cabinet should be punished for crimes, and the ancestral system should be applied.

Although he knew that Zhu Di could not really punish a few people, this was the edge of his words. These people have ghosts in their hearts and have a guilty conscience, and they are activated as criminals, so they lack confidence.

If they oppose it again, they will be easily criticized for their fame and the legitimacy of the Jinyi Guard, if they do not oppose it, then they will be eunuchs and sit big, so it will be a dilemma.

"You!!" Hu Guang was angry, and waved the wat board to knock on the package Yuanqian.

What a skill Bao Yuanqian is, before this scholar Hu Guang and the scholar arrived in front of him, he was thrown to the ground, and he fell with a "ouch".

Xie Jin shouted: "This Bao Yuan Qian is so bold that he actually beats the minister in the court!"

Now he didn't have the kind look he had in the Wenyuan Pavilion in the past, and he was about to roll up his sleeves and step forward in a few words, but he heard Zhu Di say sharply: "Presumptuous!!"

Zhu Di roared with a dragon and a tiger, which shocked the full court, and Xie Jin didn't take his sleeves anymore, so he hurriedly knelt on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head.

Zhu Di sat back on the dragon chair, leaned over and said, "How can this be reasonable, the ministers of the court and the central government beat each other in the palace, and the majesty of the Ming Dynasty was defeated. Unscrupulous, bold, have you ever had me in your eyes!?"

Hundreds of officials were prostrate, Hu Guang, and Xie Jin trembled, and beads of sweat fell.

Although Bao Yuanqian knelt down, he had expected this in his heart. As a "female cadre", he helped Zhu Di dumb these nerds, so naturally it was time for him to appear, and it was his turn to play fifty boards.

Zhu Di sneered, "Hu Guang, Xie Jin and the two of them are in important positions, but they act impetuously, and when the palace is out of shape, the Jinyi guard on duty dragged the two out, each of them hit thirty boards, and then pursued them for the crime of serving the puppet dynasty according to the ancestral system!"

"Holy!"

"Drag it out!!"

Zhu Di slapped the dragon chair with his rough hand, his eyes were round, Long Yan was furious and shocked the two, and Jinyiwei hurriedly stepped forward and dragged the two away.

"Bao Yuanqian, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, talked about great politics in vain and committed the ancestral system. He removed his five-rank crown belt, dismissed him from his post as a scholar, and immediately demoted him to the post of official appointed by the Jinyi Guard Taming Elephant!"

He did it in one go, but he stunned Bao Yuanqian.

Although Bao Yuanqian knew that Zhu Di would take the opportunity to beat himself and those who opposed him by fifty

Big board, but I didn't expect to let myself raise elephants!

"Mu Junjiao....!" Bao Yuanqian said hatefully.

He suddenly remembered that when he was in the Guozi Prison, Mu Junjiao's proud chin was raised and he degraded himself to raise elephants, there must be this Mu Junjiao's reason, he seemed to be able to see her complacent face!

It turned out that it was not that Mu Junjiao's words were weightless, but that Zhu Di played well in his calculations. Mu Junjiao estimated that she had already sued, but Zhu Di has always regarded herself as a chess piece and has been using it until now.

Now he took the opportunity to raise elephants while he was back in the pot, which also fulfilled Mu Junjiao's wish. It's really killing three birds with one stone, and the old woman is cunning!
