Chapter 125: Tongue War
"You have not done anything beneficial to Your Majesty or to the thousands of people in this world, so what qualifications do you have to stand here and stand in the palace to do things!"
"Yes, you are only suitable to stay in your small county town, when you are a small county commander, maybe in your Penglai County, you can still be a soil emperor, is it not as free as in the palace?"
Taifu Chen Dejian and cabinet scholar Li Bowen sang and said to Xu Zilin.
Xu Zilin was stunned for a moment, and then turned his head to look at Zhu Di.
His meaning was obvious, he was questioning Zhu Di, could it be that he didn't tell the story of Penglai County sending people to level the water disaster before?
Zhu Di understood what Xu Zilin meant.
He coughed lightly twice, and the eyes of everyone in the hall took their eyes off Xu Zilin and fell on Zhu Di.
"Speaking of which, you should all know that when the flood was flat before, everyone was asking me, who is this mysterious person, right?"
Zhu Di's words have all been said to this point, and the ministers present are all human spirits, so they naturally understand Zhu Di's words.
"Your Majesty, could it be that this Xu Zilin is the mysterious person?"
"No, he's just a small county magistrate, how can he calm down such a big flood? What's more, the idea of blowing up the mountain was something that all the officials in the court had never thought of, how could he have thought of it! ”
The ministers talked a lot, but after all, these words came out of Zhu Di's mouth.
No matter how much you don't believe in the truth of this statement, you still have to believe Zhu Di.
It took a long time for everyone to calm down.
But they all just look calm on their faces, but they are not calm at all in their hearts.
"As Your Majesty said, it was indeed our people from Penglai County who went to level the water at that time, and this so-called method of blowing up the mountain was indeed from my own hands."
Xu Zilin looked at the surprise on everyone's faces, and then answered everyone with an affirmative face.
After a long silence, someone finally spoke again.
"Even so, so what, you are just a small county order, you are afraid that you have never learned anything since you were a child, it is okay for you to govern a small Penglai County, but if you are allowed to enter the palace, I am afraid that you will not even be able to find where the palace gate is!"
"The palace is not as simple as you think, if you are not ready, you must enter the palace and share a piece of the pie with us old guys!"
Xu Zilin just listened quietly to everyone's complaints, and only spoke again after a long time.
"Actually, I don't really want to be an errand in the palace, Your Majesty knows about this, of course, you don't have to worry, if you can, I naturally want to stay away from the deep palace."
As he spoke, Xu Zilin looked at Zhu Di.
Zhu Di was staring at Xu Zilin with calm eyes at the moment.
Of course, he knew that Xu Zilin didn't like to enter the palace, but he always felt that as long as Xu Zilin saw the grand scene in the capital and the palace after entering the palace, he might change his mind.
At the beginning, when he heard the conversation between Xu Zilin and those ministers, Zhu Di thought that Xu Zilin had changed his mind.
Unexpectedly, Xu Zilin once again said that he did not want to stay in the capital.
"But now that I have entered the palace, I have changed my mind, after all, in this Ming Dynasty, there are you ministers who do not distinguish between right and wrong, and it is really a disaster for the Ming Dynasty, so I want to stay in the palace now and help His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make the Ming Dynasty a great country, and now it is my ideal."
As he spoke, Xu Zilin turned his head and glanced at Jiang Ci.
Of course, he also saw the incredulity in Jiang Ci's eyes.
Jiang Ci opened his mouth, but never spit out a word.
He knew that he couldn't interfere with any of Xu Zilin's ideas, and no matter what decision Xu Zilin made, he must support him.
"But are you Nengwen or Nengwu, what can you do if you follow His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, or by His Majesty's side? If there are assassins, if there is a fight, I am afraid that you will have to stay by the side of the guards! ”
The military department is still in the book, Jin Zhong suddenly opened his mouth and asked Xu Zilin.
Xu Zilin turned his head to look at the other party.
After looking up and down, Xu Zilin spoke.
"Who are you?"
"The minister is the secretary of the military department, Jin Zhong! Why, do you feel that anyone in this court is an existence that you can't compare? ”
Xu Zilin sneered.
He took a step forward and happened to stand in front of Jin Zhong.
"You have to know one thing, if you can only martial arts but don't know literature, then you are a reckless man, so you have nothing to be proud of, although I don't know martial arts, but I have cultivated a guard, and this guard is only loyal to me, isn't this an achievement of mine?"
As he spoke, Xu Zilin looked at Zhu Di again.
"For example, Your Majesty, you can fight in all directions, but most of the major national affairs are handed over to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you dare to say that it is because Your Majesty can't handle it?"
Xu Zilin's words undoubtedly dug a hole for Jin Zhong.
No matter what Jin Zhong said, it was not right.
His face was blue and red, and he didn't answer Xu Zilin for a long time.
"Clever tongue, you are so eloquent, why don't you be the vanguard of the enemy country, maybe you can let the family give us a few points in the city!"
On the other side, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Jianyi also spoke.
"I would like to, but now that Your Majesty is fighting in all directions, the nations are already being defeated and retreating, if Your Majesty opens your mouth and wants the city, even if they don't give it, how dare you tear your face with Your Majesty? After all, it still has to be given, and what Your Majesty has already done, I don't need to go again, right? ”
Xu Zilin squinted at Jian Yi, and said to him mercilessly.
That Jianyi was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to reply to Xu Zilin for a while.
"You used to govern a small county town in Penglai County and make a small county magistrate, how do you think you can be qualified for a position in the palace?"
"Everything has to be learned, if you don't give newcomers a chance, can you stay in this palace as an errand until a thousand years?"
"You also have to be qualified to learn! There is no one behind you, and you are not a famous family, what are you talking about! ”
"If you don't have a good background, you can't study? I am not a member of the royal family, nor am I a prince or a majesty, what family do I need to support me? ”
"You've read a few books, and you dare to be so arrogant!"
"I haven't passed the basics, but it's easy to learn to be rich and five cars, so let me ask you again, a military general, how many books have you read? If it weren't for Your Majesty's love for you, I'm afraid you would still be guarding the border now! ”
After a war of words, the ministers gradually stopped moving.
Zhu Di saw that no one was looking for fault anymore, so he quickly stood up and clapped his hands at Xu Zilin.
"Good, good!"
