Chapter 45: Recklessness to the End
The next day, Fengtian Temple.
The ministers looked relaxed, they had heard about yesterday's incident, and in their opinion, the little emperor couldn't bear the abuse, so he made this decision.
It seems to be fierce, but in fact it is just bluffing.
They won the battle in the end, and from now on, the little emperor would not mention the resumption of maritime trade. gΓ²ΠΉΠͺ.ΕΞg
There are even a large number of people who feel that they were too weak before, and they should have been tougher a long time ago.
Fortunately, it's not too late, they still have a chance.
Li Qing took in the expressions of these people, just pursed his lips, and said secretly: "The little emperor has done even the worst result, how can he easily give in?"
Don't think that after a few years of comfortable life, you will be able to stay comfortable forever, if you really do this, it won't take many years for the treasury to be poor. β
A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Qizhen stepped into the main hall.
Today, he didn't wear a dragon robe, only a bright yellow regular clothes, looking relaxed and comfortable, and seemed to have completely forgotten yesterday's unpleasantness.
Seeing this, the ministers were even more relieved, in their opinion, this was a manifestation of the little emperor's evasion.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live......!"
"All the ministers are flat!"
"Emperor Xie!" The ministers got up and returned to their shifts and stood up.
Zhu Qizhen said: "Wang Zuo." β
"The minister is here." Wang Zuoqiang, the household servant, suppressed his excitement and stepped forward: "Please show the emperor." β
"From now on, you will take up the post of secretary of the household department." Zhu Qizhen said lightly, "Don't follow the old path of your predecessor." β
"Obey." Wang Zuo bowed excitedly, "The minister will live up to the emperor's trust." β
Zhu Qizhen bowed slightly, "Well, let's go back to work." β
"Yes." Wang Zuo suppressed his joy and returned to work to stand up, his face flushed.
Zhu Qizhen said again: "Wang Wei." β
"The minister is here." The king stepped forward.
"How's it going about what I asked you to do yesterday?" Zhu Qizhen asked.
Wang Yu was stunned, turned his head and glanced at his colleagues, and they all saw the incredible.
The little emperor still wants to do it?
"Bang ββ!" Zhu Qizhen slapped the paperweight, "Talk back!" β
"Minister... Still preparing. Wang Yu said stubbornly.
The example of Liu Zhongshiki, the head of the household, is right in front of him, and he doesn't dare to hard-top it in the court.
"Hurry up." Zhu Qizhen added, "If Wang Aiqing feels embarrassed, I can let you return to your hometown." β
Wang: "......"
"Can you do it?"
"Can... It can be done. Wang Wei said with a bitter face.
There's no way, let's keep the official position first.
Chen Zhi, the imperial historian of the left capital of the Imperial Procuratorate, came out of class and arched his hand: "The emperor still wants to reopen the imperial court's maritime trade?" β
"What do you mean? How did I give up? Zhu Qizhen was surprised.
Chen Zhi said in a deep voice: "The emperor thinks twice. β
"Please put the people first." The right capital Yushi Wang Wen said.
"I already said yesterday that this is a decision made after thinking twice, and you don't have to persuade you again." Zhu Qizhen has no doubt, "There is no room for negotiation in this matter. β
"The emperor is only afraid that he will damage his reputation and violate the way of being a king." Xu Xi, the squire of the military department, came out of class.
Zhu Qizhen glanced at Yu Qian, and Yu Qian's face was scornful.
In the face of this kind of thing, Yu Qian really couldn't control it.
Zhu Qizhen sneered: "Are you teaching me to do things?" β
"I don't dare." Xu Xi is neither humble nor arrogant, "The emperor is the honor of the Ninety-Five, how dare the minister act in the Pope, but...
The world needs to be governed by monarchs and ministers, the emperor has not been in charge of the treasure for a long time, he is not familiar with the national economy and people's livelihood, he does not know the stakes here, he is a minister, he has the responsibility and obligation, and he elaborates for the emperor, the emperor, which ......"
"What a pair of fangs and sharp mouths." Zhu Qizhen interrupted coldly, "You can step down, I already know the stakes, and I don't need you to repeat it." β
"The Emperor's ......"
"Shut up!" Zhu Qi Zhenjun's face was full of anger, "It's obvious to you, right?" Then tell me, are you wise, or am I wise? β
Xu Xi sneered, "Naturally, the emperor is wise, but ......"
"Since you are not as good as me, then why should I listen to you?" Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, "Stand down." β
Xu Xi saw that the little emperor was already furious, and he didn't dare to challenge his bottom line anymore, so he went back to work in a huff.
Cabinet Chen Shan came out, "The emperor is wise, however, a thousand thoughts of Homo sapiens must be missed, in this matter, the emperor is indeed a little under-considered." β
Yang Pu glanced at Chen Shan and was silent.
Like Yu Qian, in such a matter of interest, he can't control people.
The sea trade is so big that it is maddening, and the large amount of silver is like picking up, and no one is willing to give it away.
"Lack of thought?" Zhu Qizhen smiled, "Then I will make it clear, I have reached an agreement with the vassal country of Japan, and trade can only be officially connected by the two sides, that is to say, even if the imperial court does not do this business, it will not be the turn of the people." β
"Huh?"
The ministers were shocked, they really didn't expect the little emperor to come to such a hand.
"How can the emperor be like this?"
"Why not?" Zhu Qizhen snorted, "Over the years, the treasury revenue has been decreasing year by year, and it has shrunk compared to the Xuande period, you don't know?"
Why is this so, you don't know? β
Zhu Qizhen said sharply: "I don't want to be absolute, don't force me to be absolute, really be me or a child?"
There are some things that I can't do, but I really don't want to;
If you really want to check it out, hum ......" He pointed to the ministers and sneered: "One of the people present counts as one, and how many are clean?" β
Today, he has a complete showdown.
If he doesn't have a showdown, these people are all good at making peace with the mud, and if his determination is not strong enough, this national policy will not be promulgated at all.
The ministers were shocked in their hearts, they couldn't believe that the little emperor would have such courage that he was simply declaring war on everyone.
Isn't he really afraid?
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks... This matter needs to be considered in the long term. Yang Pu came out of class, he felt that the little emperor was too big to play this time.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Qizhen was reckless to the end, "I don't want you to think, I want me to think that it is imperative for the imperial court to reopen maritime trade!" β
He held the imperial case with both hands, leaned forward, and looked down at the ministers, "If you feel that you can't assist, you can return to your hometown, and the monarch and ministers will not be stingy with the benefits they deserve;
Now, Aiqing, who is willing to return to his hometown, please take a step forward and make statistics. β
Baiguan's face was difficult to see the extreme, and his heart was even more angry, there was such a gap in just two years, they couldn't accept it, and they couldn't accept it.
But......
No one came forward!
People go to tea and cool, once Zhishi returns to their hometown, their power will disappear immediately, and they are a fart when they leave the temple!
Yu Qian's heart was shocked, although it was very enjoyable, but this time the situation was more serious than before.
You must know that Emperor Xuande has never been so strong.
He wanted to persuade a few words to ease the atmosphere, but he felt that the matter had come to this point, and it could not be alleviated in a few words, and that would make the strength that the emperor had so hard created come to naught.
In the end, Yu Qian chose to remain silent.
"I ask again, who is for and who is against?" Zhu Qizhen shouted clearly, and his voice echoed in the hall, deafening.
After many years of depression, he feels that he is an emperor and a king of a country.
It's so exciting, it's so exciting.
The huge Fengtian Palace, the crows are silent, and the needles can be heard.
For a long time, Zhu Qizhen flicked the sleeves of his robe, "Scatter the dynasty!" β
β¦
The emperor left, but none of the ministers left, and they were stunned one by one, losing their minds for a long time.
Is this still the little emperor they know?
At this moment, they were unfamiliar with it like never before.
Li Qing exhaled slowly and turned to leave.
The most direct and huge interest in this fight is money.
This is also doomed, this time there is no room for turnaround.
He wasn't worried, though.
With the abolition of the Baoju system and the purge of the officials who were to be promoted, the authority of the civilian clique has been greatly reduced, and the civilian clique has no influence on the military after the recalling of the town guards.
The only act is to incite the people to riot.
This is enough for Jingying to deal with.
Finally came to this point, Li Qing was not happy or nervous, it was all within his plan.
As long as we survive this time, be stable for a few more years, and then reform and innovate one by one, this unhealthy trend can be completely suppressed.
Winning this 'battle' will be stable for at least two or three decades in the future.
Out of the palace, Li Qing rode a little donkey and walked home, and before he went far, he saw a family member pulling a wooden cart, mourning and crying.
The wooden cart was covered with a white cloth, and at first glance it looked like a dead person, but looking at the shape under the white cloth, it did not look like a human being.
Li Qing stepped forward with doubts and asked tentatively: "This brother, ...... are you?" β
The man saw that his official uniform was woven with birds, and now his relatives, he cried and said: "My lord, Dongchang and Jinyiwei are lawless, and they tortured my old father to death, and they didn't even leave a whole corpse......!" β
"Please master for us!" The woman who was helping the car hurriedly stepped forward, pulled Li Qing's official uniform and didn't let go, and cried: "Jinyiwei only returned two arms and one leg, and didn't even leave a head, how can my master rest in peace......"
