Chapter 358: Daxingtai deposes the envoy
Hearing the word reform, the entire Jinluan Palace was silent, and the officials of those big families were definitely unwilling to accept it, after all, it was to take money out of their own pockets, and a fool would agree.
And those poor scholars who came from a bitter cold background did not dare to speak at the moment, after all, they did not know whether this tax reform could succeed, and if it failed, they were afraid that they would be retaliated against by the family, so they also collectively chose to wait and see, and no one was willing to express their position.
The atmosphere above the main hall was embarrassing to an eerie degree, everyone didn't speak, and the air seemed to be about to freeze.
Seeing this, the emperor coughed lightly twice and said again.
"What's wrong? I was going to discuss with you today, but why did you have no idea about the major affairs of the country? ”
At this moment, an official who Chu Xiu didn't know at all stood up and expressed his opposition.
"Your Majesty, if you want to forge ahead, we naturally support it, but the timing doesn't seem right now."
"There is a war going on on the front line, and it is precisely when there is a need for stability in the rear, and if we rush to reform now, it is very likely that there will be a fire in the backyard."
"Your Majesty, such an important matter should be more cautious."
The emperor nodded silently, looked at the others again, and said.
"You have a point."
"What do other people think?"
Many officials of the big families have stood up and expressed their opinions.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"What Master Li said is reasonable..."
"yes, it should be more stable!"
There are dozens of ministers in this hall, and those who stand up to speak are basically against the side, and the rest do not speak, but they are also grass on the wall.
Chu Xiu listened silently beside him, observing the situation above the court, and at this time, Chu Xiu finally understood why the emperor wanted to find himself to participate in the court meeting.
It seems that the emperor's life is not easy now, the pressure on the court is so huge, how easy is it to reform, what the emperor needs now is support!
And Chu Xiu has been talking about loyalty, isn't now the best time to express loyalty?
Thinking of this, Chu Xiu slowly stood up and said respectfully.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a different opinion!"
After the emperor saw Chu Xiu coming out of the ranks, a hint of expectation flashed in his eyes, and he immediately asked urgently.
"Okay, Chu Xiu, then you can talk about it, what is your opinion?"
Chu Xiu said loudly.
"What Master Li said just now is reasonable, and reform really needs a good time to ensure that it can get twice the result with half the effort."
"But Xia Guan believes that now is the best time."
The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said.
"Okay, you go on."
Chu Xiu said.
"Although there is war on the front line now, the war situation is stable, and it will not have an impact on the country's internal affairs in a short period of time."
"Although the situation is stable now, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one knows what will happen next, in case the situation deteriorates, it is always not wrong to accumulate more strength and prepare more money."
"Even if we win in the future, we need to launch a major counteroffensive, and it will also be a big expense for the governance of the demon clan and the barbarian race."
"If we don't reform now, how long will it last? When the war is over and there is no money in the treasury, what are we going to do with ourselves? ”
Speaking of this, Chu Xiu knelt directly on the ground, looked at the emperor, and said impassionedly.
"Your Majesty fully supports your Majesty's decision."
"Chen is willing to be the pioneer of innovation!"
The ministers on the scene were also human spirits, and they immediately understood the emperor's purpose for bringing Chu Xiu over.
Since the emperor is determined to do this, they can't stop it on the surface, and they can only choose to obey the yang and the yin, because they secretly exert resistance.
And after listening to Chu Xiu's words, the emperor was greatly relieved and immediately said.
"General Chu, I didn't expect you, as a military general, to understand the righteousness so well!"
"Since you have such determination, it is the right time to entrust you with a heavy responsibility."
After the emperor finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the eunuch beside him, and the eunuch understood, and immediately took out the holy decree that had been prepared a long time ago.
"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict, and Chu Xiu receives the decree!"
Chu Xiu hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.
"The minister takes the order!"
"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says, Chu Xiu is the pillar of the country, loyal and loyal, has repeatedly performed miraculous feats on the Tianyuan front, and won the first place when he returns to Beijing, I am very relieved, and he is specially promoted to the Jianjiang Mansion Xingtai, deposed the envoy, and promoted all the important military and political affairs of Jianjiang, patrolling and hunting on behalf of the sky, determined to innovate, and Qincha!"
Everyone, including Chu Xiu, was stunned after hearing the content of the holy decree.
"This!"
Just yesterday, Chu Xiu was just a four-rank general, and he didn't go into the stream at all in a place like Kyoto.
But today, under the promotion of the emperor, he became a military and political leader, and the most outrageous thing is that the emperor added two official positions to Chu Xiu at the same time, and Xingtai added and deposed the envoy, which is equivalent to handing over all the military and political power of the entire Jianjiang Mansion to Chu Xiu.
What kind of trust this is, if it weren't for the special place, if it were for other places, this could no longer be described by the feudal officials, it was simply a prince.
Ministers, you look at me, I look at you, your eyes are wide and small, and you don't know what to say.
Even Chu Xiu was stunned in place, and he didn't thank him for a long time.
"It's... Did I hear me right? Acting and deposing the envoys? ”
Chu Xiu even wondered if he hadn't woken up, if he was still dreaming, and the official position was too outrageous.
Just when Chu Xiu was in a daze and didn't know what to do, the emperor's voice sounded again.
"Chu Xiu, what's wrong with you? I was going to be a pioneer just now, why is there no movement now? ”
Only then did Chu Xiu realize his gaffe, and he hurriedly kowtowed to thank him.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"
After sealing Chu Xiu, the emperor said a few more things that were not big or small, and then dispersed.
At this time, Chu Xiu was still walking at the back of the official ranks, but everyone was looking at Chu Xiu, as if Chu Xiu was the one who walked at the forefront.
"Good guy, no wonder there was news before, Chu Xiu might be going to Jianjiang Mansion, but I didn't expect this to be true."
"It's outrageous!"
"This thing is outrageous, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to be expected, you think, whose territory is this Jianjiang Mansion? O Ji Jia! Chu Xiu and Ji Chunshen are enemies of each other, and want to give all the power to Chu Xiu, which seems to have another deep meaning. ”
"Could it be that ... Your Majesty, did I operate on Ji Chunshen today? ”
Speaking of this, everyone couldn't help but shudder, it seems that this court is destined to set off a bloody storm, and that executioner should be Chu Xiu.
