1133 Monarchy and Ministers Divide

Emperor Wanli didn't answer them, but waited for a moment before saying loudly again, "Zhang Jia, draft the will! 10,000 new troops were transferred from the Fengtai camp to Jiangnan, and Liu Haojia was dispatched! In addition, 10,000 new troops will be transferred from the Fengtai battalion to the Beijing division to take over the nine gates and the palace guards!"

Zhang Jia also broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this! But before he could make a move, Wang Xijue said loudly, "Your Majesty, this move must not be done!"

Wang Xijue is a relatively capable person in the cabinet, so he clearly sees the consequences of Emperor Wanli's move! That is to completely tear the face with the civil official! And the reason is that the performance of the civil officials just now scared him, and he now feels extremely insecure, so he made this decision! This shows that Emperor Wanli will never trust civil officials again in the future! ap..

Although the civil officials did not care whether the emperor trusted them or not, they could seize power through various means! But there's a solution they can't solve! That is, once the army enters the Beijing Division, civilian officials who have no ability to protect themselves are equivalent to meat on the chopping block! What if Emperor Wanli goes crazy and washes the court in blood? Although this possibility is not high, the possibility of Emperor Wanli relying on the army to suppress civilian officials is infinite! So he had to come out and dissuade!

But just as he was contemplating his speech, he suddenly heard someone behind him say loudly, "Your Majesty, the ministers dare not obey such an edict! Please take it back!"

Shen Shixing and several pavilion elders were shocked when they heard this, and immediately looked back. I saw that Zhou Hongxue, the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was standing there with a high-spirited posture and a righteous face! Needless to say, these righteous words came out of his mouth!

Shen Shixing and a few people suddenly went crazy with anger! It's all this time, what kind of style are you showing here? What does it sell straight? Now is the time to solve real problems, not to make a name for yourself!

But at this time, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who had just been in office for less than four months, was already intoxicated by the surprised gaze of hundreds of officials! He felt that he was on the side of justice at this time, and he was simply tall! Then he said loudly again, "Your Majesty, the ancients, the soldiers, the murder weapons, the saints have no choice but to use them! Chenguan is now peaceful in the Ming Dynasty. The people live and work in peace and contentment, which can be described as boundless! But His Majesty suddenly wants to transfer troops to the south, and he has to transfer troops to defend the imperial city! May I ask who Your Majesty is going to guard against, and who is he going to slaughter? Could it be that Your Majesty is going to deal with a hundred officials?"

When the officials heard this, they immediately let out a huge commotion! Among them, some stupid ones actually echoed and applauded, praising Zhou Hongxue for his courage to speak up! And there are still people who stand up and second! And the more shrewd ones shook their heads again and again, lowering their heads, lest Emperor Wanli see themselves!

And Shen Shixing and the others almost fainted when they heard this! It must be known that political struggle is about fighting without breaking, and in the end things must always be done well. And on this basis, we can pay attention to who benefits and who takes advantage, that is a matter of each by means!

But now this idiot has picked up the matter as soon as he comes up, which is tantamount to putting the contradictions between the monarch and the minister naked! If things go ahead, the civil officials will either rebel behind closed doors, or the emperor will massacre the civil officials. There will be no other outcome. And no matter which of these two results appears, it is everyone who is unlucky!

But fortunately, there are still people who understand among the civil officials. He Jiangke, the secretary of the military department, hurriedly got up and stood in front of Zhou Hongxue to block him. Then he bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, governing the country is all about obeying the rules! As the saying goes, there are no rules, there is no circle, and His Majesty's order to transfer troops in this way is not in accordance with the procedure, so the ministers cannot obey the edict!"

When Shen Shixing heard this, he immediately made a note in his heart to the military department Shangshu! Such a person who can take care of the overall situation must find a way to recruit into the cabinet! As for Zhou Hongxue, the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he was sentenced to death, and he must find an opportunity to kick him down! It's stupid to study etiquette all day long!

Because after He Jiangke said this, it is equivalent to transferring the contradiction between the monarch and the minister exposed by Zhou Hongxue to the contradiction of the system. And dancing in small circles is what civil officials do best! As long as Emperor Wanli doesn't want to completely tear his face, he can only follow He Jiangke's words, and then bring the rhythm into the control of the civil official!

At this time, Wang Xijue also got up and said, "Your Majesty should know the rules of the Ming Dynasty's troop transfer, and ask Your Majesty to issue an order to the cabinet. It will be discussed by the cabinet before deciding whether to implement it, and how to implement it! resemble

ap.. Your Majesty this

The matter of directly ordering the transfer of troops to the Fengtai battalion must not appear, and this is related to the thousands of generations of the imperial dynasty! As long as everyone behaves according to the rules, there will be no chaos in this country!"

Then he popularized the truth of the world and the greatest rules to Emperor Wanli! There were even many officials who were frightened by the Ministry of Rites and others who were covered with cold sweat and came out to echo it.

After such a disturbance by them, the tense atmosphere in the hall was relaxed a lot. And the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zhou Hongxue, also quieted down. Probably someone just took advantage of Wang Xijue and others to talk to him just now.

When the hall was quiet and the officials were all watching with their eyes on how Emperor Wanli made his choice, they only heard Emperor Wanli say, "I must make an order to the cabinet, right? But what if you don't obey the edict?"

Hearing Emperor Wanli say this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief! Wang Xijue even smiled and said, "Your Majesty, the so-called heaven and earth are the greatest! When you think that Your Majesty will give an order, you will definitely explain the reason for the transfer of troops! As long as it makes sense, how can the cabinet not allow it?"

But he never expected Emperor Wanli to sneer and say, "What if I want to directly transfer troops?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the hall became tense again! Wang Xijue felt that this should be a temptation from Emperor Wanli, so he and Shen Shixing quickly exchanged glances, then stood up straight and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial court has strict rules on the mobilization of troops and horses, and anyone who wants to mobilize troops and horses must abide by it, even Your Majesty is no exception! If Your Majesty directly orders the Fengtai camp, I am afraid that not a single soldier will be mobilized! If those Junjiang really mobilized their troops and horses, then they were a rebellion! This kind of rebellious minister and thief will be punished by everyone!" ap..

Emperor Wanli stared coldly at Wang Xijue on the throne, while Wang Xijue straightened up. And his gaze refused to back down in the slightest! In matters of such principle, the Cabinet must not back down!

They know very well that once the emperor is allowed to grasp the military power, then the civil officials will not even have a place to speak in the future! Any power, status, wealth, beauty and so on will disappear!
