Chapter 21: Anger

"My teacher, look at what I said......"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks this plan will be better."

"Your Majesty, what you said is right, but there are still big loopholes in it, you can see ......"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this decree of yours should be amended in this way......"

"Your Majesty......"

……

Zhu Changxun sat on the chair, his face was a little stiff, and his eyes were slightly dull.

At this time, in his mind, he kept replaying the scenes that had happened in this imperial study in the past few years.

What he said, the suggestions he put forward, and even the decrees he issued would constantly be rejected by Yan Chenhao.

Of course he wouldn't think about it, Yan Chenhao has been an official for so many years, and he must know a lot more about the pros and cons of the court and the pros and cons of things than he has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and the plan proposed is naturally better than his, and he won't think about it, in fact, he also has some proposals that have been adopted by Yan Chenhao - people are always like this, when someone makes him unhappy, he will intermittently forget some good memories of the other party, leaving only a bad impression.

The current Zhu Changxun has already penetrated into the tip of the horns, he only feels that since Yan Chenhao became the first assistant, his sense of existence has become lower and lower, and many orders have been rejected by Yan Chenhao, and now, Yan Chenhao's reputation among the people has risen to the extreme - this is exactly what he desires.

Zhu Changxun's eyes were a little red.

Dazhi? What kind of governance is a great governance?

It's not that he doesn't know the situation of the Ming Dynasty today, the treasury is full, the people are stable, the Ming Dynasty has been more than 200 years, and it is rare to be able to have such a grand occasion.

At this time, it is time to sweep away the four razors, not only to pacify the frontier, but also to write your name in the history books for future generations to admire!

In fact, he always thought that Yan Chenhao would not refuse this proposal. After all, he knew that his teacher's ideal was to create a prosperous era, and the so-called prosperous era naturally paid equal attention to civil governance and martial arts! You can't have one without the other!

What's more, since the promulgation of the last salary increase policy, Yan Chenhao has actually not made any major moves for a while, basically handling government affairs normally, maintaining the stability of the imperial court, appointing capable officials, etc., no matter how you look at it, it looks like the overall situation has been decided.

So before, he didn't even ask Yan Chenhao and a few people's opinions, and directly arranged the generals and materials for the expedition, because in his heart, Yan Chenhao would not refuse at all!

The only thing that needs to be discussed may be the time of the expedition or something, or maybe the teacher has discovered which general and promoted him to expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty.

But what he didn't expect was that what his teacher said to him gave him a slap in the face - as always, no!

Just like before, for the umpteenth time, it was the ear that had already heard the cocoon, "Your Majesty, this is not right, it must be changed!" ”

What else do you say, it is not appropriate to send troops now, saying that this is an empty drain of the treasury......

At that time of my father, the situation was not as good as it is now, the world was turbulent, and the treasury was empty, but didn't he also finish the three major campaigns?

Am I so diligent that I am not as good as my father who does not go to court?

If you want to repair the Beidi Water Conservancy Project, why didn't you repair it a few years ago, but now, when I want to send troops, use this to stop me!

Zhu Changxun's originally calm heart was filled with anger, and the contrast between ideal and reality made him very uncomfortable, and this coincidence made him feel as if he was being targeted.

Raising his eyes and looking ahead, Yan Chenhao still maintained that saluting posture, waiting for his reply.

This kind of scene has happened too many times in this imperial study, and every time, with Yan Chenhao's sentence of "Please think twice" as if announcing victory, he always waved his hand and said:

"I will follow my teacher's words."

But this time is different. Seeing this familiar scene again, Zhu Changxun only felt a stream of blood, rushing from his heart to his mind, the dissatisfaction accumulated in the past, which was "ignored", broke out at this moment, at this time he no longer wanted to care about which water conservancy or the Northern Expedition was more beneficial, and there was only one sentence in his mind-

I am the emperor, Lile conquest, when the Son of Heaven comes out!

"Now that the treasury is full, the world is already full of flowers, comparable to the world of Taizu and Taizong, why is it not enough?"

He stood up sharply and spoke sharply, the first time he had spoken to his teacher like this:

"Again and again, again and again, I want to send troops to the northland, for the sake of the great tomorrow, for the sake of the people, is it for my own selfishness?"

Yan Chenhao was obviously a little surprised by his reaction, he thought that his disciple would approve of his words as before, but he thought that he would react like this.

His attitude was more respectful, and his body bowed down again, he thought that Zhu Changxun didn't understand what he meant, so he explained:

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood, the minister has no such intention."

"It is precisely because Your Majesty and the ministers are all for the sake of the Ming Dynasty that the ministers want to stop Your Majesty and prevent Your Majesty from making a big mistake."

"Have you ever thought about the vast desert and thousands of miles of grassland, if Warat knows that he is invincible and runs away, what should we do? If he retreats without a fight, he will waste the money of the troops; If the war continues, more than 100,000 troops will march north to the desert, regardless of victory or defeat, the daily consumption will be an extremely huge number! When the treasury is depleted, it may not be effective! ”

"If the situation has just improved today, once you do this, it is very likely that the good situation will be overturned, and then you will regret it!"

"Your Majesty's proposal to send troops, the minister really thinks it's inappropriate, and I ask Your Majesty to think twice."

Yan Chenhao once again refused to Zhu Changxun.

He explained in detail, but it was obvious that the emperor on the other side didn't listen, he was already carried away by anger, not to mention that he still thought that the Wanli treasury had already become like that, and he could fight the three major campaigns, why couldn't it be his turn?

Just a grassland, how can you stop my Ming elite soldiers? Under my rule, it is a prosperous era that is not weaker than Hongwu Yongle! Back then, didn't Taizu and Taizong go deep into the desert to conquer the enemy?

But why do you keep refusing?

Why exactly?

Could it be that you don't want me to meddle in the military power?

He stopped abruptly.

The emperor's angry appearance disappeared, and instead he propped his hands on the table, staring at Yan Chenhao's eyes.

His voice was cold, bitterly cold, almost squeezing out between his teeth:

"Old ...... Yan Ge"

"I want to ask you a question."

"This Daming, in the end, I am in charge, or ......"

"You, the head of the cabinet, the secretary of the ministry, the scholar of the Middle Pole Temple, and the ...... of the Taishi"

"What's in charge?"
