Chapter 132: The Cabinet is Defeated
Zhu Youjiao's eyebrows furrowed.
It was only for a moment, and then it stretched again.
Li Hao's matter, he heard his father say that he knew that he was the only son of Yongqing Hou, and this old cousin didn't think about taking the road of official career at all.
And the chief military officer of the Navy Division, that is, his uncle Li Hong, has long passed the year of knowing his fate, and he is going to the year of the sixtieth year, how long can he be in power?
Since it is certain that rights will not be inherited, there is nothing to worry about.
It is true that such a precedent, but there is something inappropriate, after all, Taizong did not dare to easily give power to the generals, and instead let the eunuchs of the Three Treasures go to sea and ocean, but, at this time, at that time.
Nowadays, the composition of taxes in the Ming Dynasty, the proportion of commercial taxes is getting higher and higher, and for now, it is almost no less than the grain tax.
If this continues, at most, with the efforts of another generation, the commercial tax will completely overwhelm the grain tax and become the first in the imperial court's revenue.
Commercial taxes are so important, and the necessity of sailors to promote the prestige of the country is naturally self-evident.
Deter overseas countries, let businessmen do business with confidence, and increase the tax of the imperial court, how can you not care!
At the beginning, my father clearly said the pros and cons of this.
Although Zhu Youzhu has no great talent, he is not a faint king, so he naturally understands that the rise and fall of the dynasty is linked to wealth, and if he is rich, he can say anything, but vice versa...... Disastrous.
Seeing that the emperor was disapproving, Ma Wensheng hurriedly reminded: "The emperor thinks twice, once the water master is too big to fall, it will inevitably bring disaster to the country and the people!" ”
Then, gritting his teeth, "The emperor thinks...... How are you better than Taizong? ”
Zhu Youzhang was annoyed: Is this still a comparison?
Even if you put aside the identity of your ancestor, from the perspective of strength alone, he has no comparison!
"Taizong is wise and martial, I am far from it." Zhu Youzhu glared at Ma Wensheng: Happy?
Ma Wensheng didn't know that talking like this would make the emperor unhappy, but now, he can't take care of this, as the secretary of the military department, how can he sit back and watch the emperor make a big mistake?
"Your Majesty, even Taizong is worried that the tail will not fall, why is the emperor ......?"
Zhu Youzhu didn't want to deal with him, so he aimed at his mouth.
Xie Qian lived up to expectations, he keenly discovered the pain point, and hit it hard, "If Taizong is worried that the tail will not fall, how can he go to the West six times?"
Facts have proved that in the end of Taizong's dynasty, until now, the sailor has no tail that cannot be dropped, this is Taizong's wise and martial arts, it is the wise and divine martial arts of the ancestors, is it that the emperor is not wise and powerful?
Or did Ma Shangshu intend to let the eunuchs lead the troops? ”
As soon as this remark came out, everyone changed color.
I couldn't help but think of the fear of Chenghua Dynasty being dominated by Wang Zhi.
Ma Wensheng was stunned for a moment, and then became furious: "You let it go...... What a word! When did the official say this? ”
"And what do you mean?"
"This official ......" Ma Wensheng was short of words for a while, and scolded, "This official disdains to be quick to talk to a five-grade bachelor." ”
"You ......"
Xie Qian was angry, but irrefutable.
No matter how sharp his teeth are, he can't refute Ma Wensheng.
"Huh...... Hahaha......"
Laughter came and went, and the faces of several members of the cabinet were ugly.
Zhu Youzhu couldn't help frowning.
Speaking of which, he has a great responsibility for the Cabinet to get to this point.
At the beginning of his succession, he felt that the power of the first assistant of the cabinet and the secretary of the ministry was too large, so he split it up, and made it clear that the first assistant of the cabinet was not allowed to concurrently serve as the secretary of the ministry.
As a result, the status of the cabinet has plummeted.
The main thing, of course, is that he is not confident enough.
Xie Qian is not the first assistant of the cabinet, but if the first assistant of the cabinet is also the secretary of the ministry, then Ma Wensheng will never dare to be so ridiculed.
No one dared to make fun of it.
Speaking of which, the Cabinet is still a department that does practical things.
Over the years, the cabinet has made a lot of contributions, and Zhu Youzhu doesn't want to chill the cabinet's heart.
"Bang!"
Zhu Youzhu threw the jade paperweight, and the laughter in the hall immediately stopped.
"What does it have to do with the size of the official position?"
"The minister lost his words, please give the emperor a sin." Ma Wensheng immediately pleaded guilty, but he was secretly proud in his heart: Xie Kan has been honest for a long time.
His behavior undoubtedly gave the six departments a shot in the arm.
How many college scholars are there?
Give them face!
Zhu Youzhu took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I want to let the sailors sail to the sea and raise the prestige of the Ming Dynasty." ”
"The emperor thinks twice."
"The emperor thinks twice!"
Six Shangshu, Shilang, Langzhong...... Huhula knelt on the ground.
Seeing that the victory and defeat had been divided, the Metropolitan Procuratorate decisively stood in line with the six departments, followed the opposition, and then led to a chain reaction, and in the end, only a few people were left in the cabinet.
Several people looked at each other, annoyed and ashamed.
It's ...... Shameful.
Zhu Youzhu was also annoyed.
However, he has a big flaw - he is not tough enough!
Of course, at best, he was too obedient.
"Disperse the dynasty, another discussion."
Zhu Youzhu flicked the sleeves of his robe and left angrily.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
The ministers saluted, and then left, only a few members of the cabinet looked gloomy as water.
They understand that after today, the status of the Cabinet will be lowered and downgraded until ...... completely lost the right to speak, reduced to a tool man, and even a vassal of the six departments.
Only Li Dongyang seemed to suddenly want to understand something, his depression swept away, the corners of his mouth pulled up a relaxed smile, and his steps were brisk.
Xie Qian's eyes were sharp, and when he saw him like this, he hurried to follow him.
Liu Jian didn't notice Li Dongyang's different color, but he saw Xie Qian's abnormality, and he hurriedly chased after him.
~
"Binzhi, Binzhi, you slow down......" Out of the palace, Xie Qian trotted to catch up with Li Dongyang, panting and said, "Binzhi, do you have any ideas?" ”
"What can I have in mind?" Li Dongyang smiled.
"Oh, what's wrong, if you have an idea, just say it." Xie Qian was anxious and said, "If you don't take measures, the cabinet will have no place to stand in the future!" ”
"How can it be so serious?" Li Dongyang smiled lightly and comforted, "Where blessings and misfortunes lie in waiting, disasters and blessings rely on, why worry about Brother Qiao, this is not necessarily a bad thing." ”
"Hey, Binzhi, when has this been, why are you still playing dumb riddles." Xie Qian hurriedly said, "I even want to say goodbye to my hometown."
The six departments are too deceitful, the emperor ...... and did not support them.
I can't live this day! ”
Li Dongyang was amused, and was about to speak, when he saw Liu Jian catching up, he arched his hand and said, "Brother Xixian." ”
"You're welcome, let's talk about what to do now." Liu Jian said, "I can't sit still. ”
Xie Qian also urged: "Binzhi, if you have any ideas, just say it, you still can't believe me and Xixian?" ”
Li Dongyang smiled and said, "If you two can trust me, don't do anything now, just wait and see." ”
"Still waiting to see how it changes......"
"Let Binzhi finish his sentence." Liu Jian is much calmer than Xie Qian, and he knows that there must be a reason why Li Dongyang said this.
Li Dongyang said: "The art of war is cloudy: the poor are not chasing; Today, the six ministries obviously have the advantage, forcing the cabinet to the edge of the cliff, and even kicking it, which is enough, and resolutely resists the emperor's decision-making;
Hehe...... The emperor is benevolent, but not without temper, they are like this, which is equivalent to pushing the emperor to our side. ”
Li Dongyang said confidently: "Look at it, if what I expected is good, this time, the cabinet will turn the tide, and even ...... Beyond the six! ”
Liu Jian and Xie Qian were inspired.
Immediately, I felt that this was not realistic.
Since the first assistant of the cabinet was not allowed to concurrently serve as the secretary of the ministry, the right to speak has plummeted, and it has not been possible to resist the court, and it has surpassed the six ministries...... How easy is it to say?
Liu Jian sighed: "Binzhi, the first assistant is not allowed to concurrently serve as the secretary of the ministry, this is what the emperor has clearly said, how can he destroy the country?" ”
"Yes," Xie Qian was not optimistic, and sighed: "The emperor is benevolent, but he is also a little ......."
Seeing that there was no one around, he continued: "Some benevolent and weak, in my opinion, the emperor will probably give us some rewards to appease, as for improving our status, even above the six departments...... It's simply impossible. ”
Li Dongyang said with a smile: "You guys, you are confused for a while, and the current situation is no longer the cabinet and the six ministries, but the six ministries and the emperor." ”
"On the surface, what the six ministries are doing today is humiliating us and others, but in fact, they are challenging the emperor's authority." Li Dongyang said, "The sailor sails to the sea and raise the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, this is a decision that the emperor has long agreed to, first it has been delayed again and again, and now it is opposed by everyone outside the cabinet, what do you say, what will the emperor think?" ”
The two were stunned.
Liu Jian nodded slowly: "Binzhi's words are to the point, but with the emperor's character, ......"
"Huh?" Li Dongyang said, "The emperor is still wise, otherwise, he would not have made it clear at the beginning of his succession that the first assistant would not concurrently serve as the secretary of the ministry;
The emperor did that to prevent the cabinet from becoming powerful and affecting the balance of the court, but now?
The cabinet is so weak that it has almost no right to speak, will this be what the emperor wants to see? ”
"Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years!" Liu Jian smiled happily, "That's true, when it comes to imperial power, how can the emperor stand by and watch?" ”
Xie Qian was still a little worried, and said, "I still think that the emperor will not let the first assistant concurrently serve as the secretary of the ministry." ”
Li Dongyang nodded: "This is true, I don't feel like it, after all...... At the beginning, the emperor said that it was a permanent system. ”
"What other way can the cabinet regain its say?" Xie Qian asked.
Liu Jian smiled: "This is not something we have to worry about, I believe the emperor is." ”
Xie Qian smiled bitterly: "That's all it can be." ”

Wudang Mountain.
"How?" Li Qing asked, "It's been a few days, you've almost looked at it, do you have any favorites?" ”
Li Xue'er shook her head, "No." ”
“…… Think about it! ”
"No is nothing!" Li Xue'er blinked innocently and said, "Tell the truth! ”
Li Qing raised his slap.
"Grandpa spares his life!" Li Xueer shouted.
“…… Stop howling. Li Qing took a deep breath and snorted: "Pack up your things, let's go back tomorrow, the sailor needs a lot of preparations to go to sea, I don't have time to spend it on you, I really die alone, and you did it yourself." ”
Li Xue'er: "Grandpa Li, you say this, it hurts me too much......"
"Get out!!"
Li Qing raised his hand and went out to find Yuxuan.
The sea is about to go to sea, and his mood is becoming more and more urgent.
