Chapter 118: The Emperor Is Not in a Hurry, the Eunuch Is in a Hurry!
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that what Li Du said in the matter is very reasonable." Chen Yi was the first to express his views.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate has the most people involved, and more than half of the thirteen supervising imperial histories have been implicated.
Moreover, the national policy of resuming the West can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and it is only a matter of time before it is postponed.
They have a strong sense of rejection, but they are mentally prepared for it, and it is not completely unacceptable.
At least, compared with career and net worth, this is not so important.
The lesser of two evils, less benefits, less benefits.
"The minister seconded the proposal." Wang Zuo followed.
Then, the Ministry of Industry and the Criminal Department ...... Successively urged.
Zhu Qizhen smiled crookedly: Finally, the advantage came to his side.
"We'll talk about that later." Zhu Qizhen began to put on a posture and said hatefully: "I have long felt that it is time to rectify the bad atmosphere of this officialdom, and it is too much for so many officials to be suspected of illegality. β
How tormented Zhu Qizhen was just now, how happy he is now.
Li Qing pouted secretly: It's almost there, the mouth is crooked behind the ears, and it can't be a fool to be a minister.
Yu Qian had a sense of happiness for the rest of his life after the catastrophe, and now this situation is unimaginable, he is afraid of another accident, so he hurriedly played:
"Your Majesty, those are just suspicions, and the specific details remain to be discussed, but it is urgent to re-establish the national policy of the West."
If someone sings white-faced, someone has to sing red-faced, so that the play can continue.
The ministers knew that the little emperor was bargaining, but there was nothing to be done.
Who made them lose their bets?
"The minister seconded Yu Shangshu's words."
"Your Majesty, there is no room for delay in returning to the West, shipyards, city shipping divisions, and tax collectors...... It is the time to employ people, and the emperor is also asked to focus on the overall situation. β
"Your Majesty, before the troubles in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fu, and the Japanese Invaders, and the turmoil in Luchuan, Burma, Siam and other places, it was the maritime trade that could not meet the demand, which made them have bad intentions;
Revisiting the West can not only bring wealth to the imperial court, but also alleviate the harassment of neighboring countries to the Ming Dynasty, which can be described as the best of both worlds! β
"The minister seconded the proposal, the city was turned into a business, and the city was closed to a business; It's imminent to go back to the West, Your Majesty. β
β¦β¦
A group of people gossiped and raised the urgency of going to the West to the point where the country would be destroyed if it was carried out one day later.
The imperial court's large-scale maritime trade had a great impact on them, which was also what they hated the most, but now they had to do it, and their hearts were bitter.
Zhu Qizhen is like a little daughter-in-law who has just passed the door, twisting and pinching, wanting to refuse and welcome.
In the end, under the persecution of the ministers 'If the emperor does not agree, the ministers will kneel and die in the Fengtian Palace', it is difficult for them to agree.
It's as if he's suffered a big loss.
~
Scattered backwards.
The excitement that Zhu Qizhen had been suppressing was completely released.
In the inner hall of the Qianqing Palace, he pulled his little money and rolled happily on the bed.
Qian's hairpin was messy, her pretty face was crimson, she was a little resistant to the day, caught Zhu Qizhen's bad hand, and said to him:
"Your Majesty, at night, is it good at night, how embarrassing it is in the middle of the day." ΞΠΈΠͺ.ΕΞοΌ§
Zhu Qizhen couldn't bear to force her, so he only pecked Zhu on the lips, and smiled: "Okay, then night." β
Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and asked softly with a sideways face: "Your Majesty, is there any happy event today?" β
"Naturally, it's a great event." Zhu Qizhen woke up from his lust, and then immersed himself in a beautiful yearning for the future, "The imperial court is going to the West again, and it is still under the support of the ministers." β
"Really?" Qian's face was full of incredulity, and he said sincerely: "Your Majesty, you are really amazing." β
No man can resist the admiration of his beloved, Zhu Qizhen is naturally no exception, he takes Li Qing's credit for all on himself.
"That's it, I don't look at who the husband is, and he takes advantage of the ministers, but it's just a matter of probing for things, it's not enough." Zhu Qizhen's nostrils were facing the sky, and he said with a bang.
The Qian family didn't know what to do, but he really thought that his husband was powerful, and he rewarded him with shame.
Zhu Qizhen is beautiful and can't find the north.
At this time, two light coughs came from outside the hall, and then, Wang Zhen's voice sounded:
"Please take care of the dragon's body!"
After a pause, he said, "Mr. Li has been waiting in the middle hall for a long time. β
There is a word called the emperor is not in a hurry, and the eunuch is in a hurry.
There are restrictions on the emperor's marital life, and the eunuch's worship room is the institution that supervises the emperor's work, which is mainly to prevent the emperor's body from being hollowed out.
Although there are not many concubines of the Ming Emperor, far less exaggerated than the three thousand beauties and the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courtyards, theoretically speaking, the women in this palace, in addition to the favor of the previous emperor, the current emperor can be lucky at will.
It is precisely because of this that eunuchs are needed to supervise in case the emperor is obsessed with women and misses major state affairs.
However, it was the Empress Dowager who really controlled the life of the emperor and his wife.
Whoever the emperor favored, when he was favored, must be recorded and reported to the queen mother, the eunuch supervision is unfavorable, the queen mother will cut people, which is also the fundamental reason for the eunuch's urgency.
However, this is only for the relationship between the emperor and the concubines and palace maids, and the life of the emperor and queen, and the general eunuchs will not disturb it, and only people of Wang Zhen's level and favored by the emperor dare to say it.
"Got it." Zhu Qizhen shouted angrily outside the door, "You talk a lot." β
Wang Zhen outside the door shrunk his neck, not daring to say anything more.
"Your Majesty, business matters." Qian Shi was embarrassed and pushed him, "Go quickly." β
Zhu Qizhen nodded sheepishly, but he didn't eat the fish, but made him fishy, which made him depressed.
'Squeak~' The door opened suddenly, and Wang Zhen, who was attached to the door, was unguarded and threw himself directly into Zhu Qizhen's arms.
Zhu Qizhen was furious, pushed Wang Zhen away, and made up for it with great force.
Wang Zhenhao hung his back on his back, he didn't care about the pain, he hurriedly patted the soil on his body, stepped forward with a smile, and said aggrievedly:
"Your Majesty, the rules in the palace are like this, not only do you have to listen to it, but you also have to write it down."
Zhu Qizhen grabbed his missing ear and scolded: "Is this the case with the palace concubine, and the same with the queen?"
Next time, don't ask for your ear at all. β
"The slave is wrong, wrong, wrong." Wang Zhen tried his best to make amends, but half of his ears were missing, and he didn't want to lose them completely.
"Your Majesty, in fact, the slave doesn't want to, the main thing is that Mr. Li is in a hurry?" Wang Zhen explained.
"He's in a hurry?" Zhu Qizhen snorted, "What is he anxious about, why is he in a hurry?" β
~
Of course Li Qing was in a hurry, his house was far away from the palace, and it was almost time to prepare lunch, if the hour passed, the little old man's fist would be fast and urgent.
Zhu Qizhen asked him to come to the middle hall to talk about things, but he didn't come for a long time, and Li Qing wanted to leave.
'Tons and tons ......! Li Qing drank the tea in the cup in one gulp: Damn, don't wait.
He strode out, but as soon as he left the gate of the palace, he met Zhu Qizhen who came in a hurry.
"Sir, where are you going?"
Li Qing was angry in his heart, and he didn't bother to be courteous, "The emperor summoned his ministers to come to the middle hall, why didn't he come for a long time?" β
"Mr. Li doesn't know, the emperor ......" Wang Zhen wanted to help explain, but when he saw Zhu Qizhen's fierce eyes, he swallowed all the words that followed.
This matter is really difficult to explain, and it can't be said: The emperor and the queen are intimate, you can take care of it.
If you say that, you can't keep your ears.
"Go in and say." Zhu Qizhen led the way into the main hall.
Nave.
Li Qing sat down again and got straight to the point: "The emperor wants to discuss with his ministers about revisiting the West, right?" β
"Hmm... Not exactly. Zhu Qizhen said, "The problem of corruption in officialdom has always existed, and everyone knows this, but no one wants to mention it;
This is an opportunity that I don't want to miss, but I'm worried that I'm missing the Western trade. Zhu Qizhen got serious, "I have to take care of this degree, I want to hear your advice." β
Li Qing nodded lightly, didn't think about cooking for the time being, calmed down and thought for a moment, and said: "The emperor is extremely worried, but in the opinion of the ministers, he should still focus on maritime trade, and he can't lose a big deal because of a small thing." β
After a pause, "My suggestion is to strictly investigate the officials below the fifth grade, and once it is verified, they will be severely punished, and as for the five grades and above, they will be more tolerant for the time being, and then go back to them when the opening of Western trade is opened." β
"Isn't that too cheap for them?" Zhu Qizhen was a little unwilling, "I feel that it is necessary to hold a few representative figures." β
Wang Zhen, who was waiting on the side, interjected: "Your Majesty, the slave has a plan. β
Li Qing and Zhu Qizhen turned their heads to look at him at the same time, their faces full of surprise.
"You have a plan, too?"
