Chapter 554: 'Smooth' Court Discussion


Zhang Wenda stood in the train, his expression unmoved, and his heart was extremely complicated.

He looked up at the emperor who was close in front of him and seemed to be far away, and then glanced around.

He is too familiar with the court, he has been standing back and forth for nearly twenty years, but now he is extremely unfamiliar.

Whether it is right or wrong, there will always be people arguing with you, attacking, endlessly, and one thing may not be possible if it drags on for ten days and a half months.

He still remembered that in the third year of the Apocalypse, the emperor in front of him was just a child, and he was very arrogant to find him, who was still a high-ranking official at that time, and asked him to be the long history of King Hui's mansion, but he refused.

It's only been a long time, King Hui was already famous, the emperor of Weijiahai, the court has also changed, and it is no longer as good as the quagmire of the past, the emperor has said a word, and no one dares to say a 'no'!

It's not just him who is complicated in his heart, he hasn't kept up with Zhu Xu, the ministers of the court reform rhythm are a little trance, they still remember the court five years ago, and now they no longer have the 'spirit' at that time, they are all cautious, and there is more of a thing in their hearts that they didn't have before - awe!

No matter what these people are thinking, as Zhu Xu's voice falls, this matter is a foregone conclusion!

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong, Fu Changzong and others looked at each other quietly, and they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The courtiers were not presumptuous towards the emperor after all, which also showed that the emperor controlled the court situation more than they expected.

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, the big stick from a while ago was not knocked in vain, and he had the heart to pass all the topics in one go, and just as he was about to speak, an internal supervisor hurriedly ran in from the outside, "Your Majesty, Wei Zhongxian asks to see you." ” Bi Ziyan and the others looked at each other, did not set this link, and all looked at Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu frowned and said, "What is he doing at this time......

Declare. ” "Yes."

The prisoner trotted back.

The ministers were all thoughtful, and their faces were solemn.

Wei Zhongxian was a person who held power for a while, and the original 'eunuch party' was powerful all over the world, and everyone was afraid of it.

It's just that since the Chongzhen Dynasty, except for the occasional appearance, there has been no major movement at other times.

What is he going to do at this critical moment of political reform?

Wei Zhongxian walked in, his steps were neither fast nor slow, his face was dark, and he couldn't see a trace of expression.

Looking at Wei Zhongxian, the ministers suddenly sank slightly in their hearts, and only then did they understand that the emperor had already subdued Wei Zhongxian, if he really wanted to do anything, this was definitely an incomparably sharp knife!

They couldn't help but look at the emperor above again, and their eyes flashed with caution.

Wei Zhongxian didn't know what the ministers were thinking, so naturally he didn't care, came to the front of the main hall, bowed down and said, "Slaves and maids see the emperor." ” Zhu Xu's expression was flat, and he said, "What is it, do you want to see you at this time?"

” Wei Zhongxian hesitated for a moment and said, "Back to the emperor, the minister found out that someone had a connection with the southwest bandits. ” The corners of Zhu Xu's face moved slightly, and his eyes said with a warning look: "Who?"

” The ministers were secretly frightened, and immediately looked at Wei Zhongxian.

The imperial court is very clear about what the attitude of the bandits is, it is a severe suppression, and it will not be let go!

If there are officials who collude with bandits, the crime is not as simple as killing the head!

Wei Zhongxian said: "Back to the emperor, who exactly is it hasn't been reported yet."

Dongchang used several fake news to probe the source.

The Yamen of the Western Governor. ” Zhu Xu suddenly remembered in his heart that there were indeed people from Shaanxi last year.

The news of the leakage of the Western Governor Yamen is that Li Jingbai's son Li Yan is now missing and is missing.

He looked thoughtful and did not speak.

Li Banghua hurriedly stepped out, raised his hand to Zhu Xu, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the governor of the Yamen has not yet had time to rectify, please ask the emperor to order that all the clues found in Dongchang be transferred to the minister, and the minister must investigate it thoroughly." ” As soon as Li Banghua's voice fell, Wei Zhongxian said again: "Your Majesty, the slaves and maids also found out that some people wanted to boycott this year's imperial examination.

The west came out. ” The corners of Zhu Xu's eyes jumped, his eyes looked at Zhou Yingqiu coldly, and said, "Ministry of Shangshu, do you know about this matter?"

” Zhou Yingqiu stepped forward and raised his hand and said: "Back to the emperor, the minister doesn't know, but there must be many people who are not qualified to participate in the imperial examination." ” Zhu Xu's gaze turned to Bi Ziyan again, and said lightly: "Master Bi, what do you think?"

” Bi Ziyan originally wanted to end this court discussion as soon as possible, but he didn't expect to bite the gold halfway, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this matter can be big or small, the minister thinks that when it is handed over to the Ministry of Officials for verification, it is not appropriate for Dongchang to intervene." ” "Your Majesty, please abolish the East Factory!"

Suddenly, Zhou Weijing stood up and said to Zhu Xu: "After the New Deal, there are criminal departments, Dali Temple, Governor's Yuan, and Dongchang's existence ministers think that it is completely unnecessary, and they consume a lot of money!"

” Wei Zhongxian's eyes changed slightly, the reason why he came in at this time was to highlight his existence, but he was not here to be dismissed.

He quietly glanced at Zhu Xu above, lowered his head and did not move.

Zhou Weijing's words are reasonable, and this truth is very similar to Zhu Youzhen's cutting of brocade clothes and guards in history.

River.

Du Wenhuan, the governor of the south, also stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Dongchang should be abolished, not to mention the bad deeds in the past, and there is no need in the new policy. ” "The minister seconded the proposal."

Mountain.

Eastern Governor Huang Liji said.

Then there were Fu Zonglong, Zhu Xieyuan and others who agreed to second, these people were all victims of Dongchang, and they couldn't help but give it a try when they saw the opportunity.

'It's really a twist and turn......

Although Zhu Xu has always been calm, he is actually a calm bystander, looking at the fire, he can guess a thing or two about the thoughts of these people, he glanced at Wei Zhongxian, looked down at the ministers, and said lightly, "Dongchang is not today's topic."

Each yamen performs its own duties, don't abuse power, let alone seize power!

” The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty did not have the courage to argue with Zhu Xu, and they all raised their hands when they heard the words, and retreated.

Bi Ziyan knew that he couldn't continue, and said: "Your Majesty, about the State Administration of Taxation, about the tax rules, the ministers and others should discuss carefully, please suspend today's court meeting, and wait for the ministers to discuss and improve, and then discuss." ” Zhu Xu looked down at the ministers, and sure enough, he saw that their expressions were a little not very 'normal', and nodded thoughtfully: "Passing the decree, Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong is the second assistant of the left and right, leading the government, tomorrow in the Wenzhao Pavilion to discuss the matter, after the meeting, it will be recorded, and the book will be presented to the imperial study." ” "The ministers obey."

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong raised his hand.

Zhu Xu got up, glanced at the ministers, and shook his head secretly in his heart, this court meeting was completely different from what he thought, the ministers had different hearts, even if he forcibly promoted the political reform, the effect was still unknown for the time being, and it took time to slowly observe and improve.

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and others are equally complicated.

The emperor was unprecedentedly strong, and the ministers did not dare to raise their heads, and this court meeting was not what they expected.

Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu and others are the same, this court discussion is nondescript and unprecedented.

More people are uncomfortable, they can't say why, but there is a bad premonition, this court discussion may be a trend, a beginning, completely distinguishing Jing Zhengchao from Chongzhen, pointing to an unpredictable future.

'What will happen to the court and court after the Ming Dynasty?

’ This is the inner thoughts of more than 30 feudal officials, they go further to the imperial court, to be ranked in the imperial class, today's court discussion makes them very uneasy.

Zhu Xu went directly out of the side door and let out a long breath.

Today is also a big test for him, although the process is a little unexpected, the results are expected.

Cao Huachun followed behind Zhu Xu, knowing that he hadn't slept since last night, and today's court meeting was not as smooth as expected, thinking about it, "Your Majesty, do you want to go out of the palace for a walk?"

” Zhu Xu was nervous for a long time, turned his head to look at him, straightened his chest, and said with a turbid breath: "Forget it today, keep an eye on the courtiers, and the political reform can't be careless."

He knew from the bottom of his heart that today's court meeting was unsuccessful and could not be held again in a short time, so he could only use the cabinet to lead the ministers to deliberate, play it in the form of a transcript, and then promulgate it.

Bi Ziyan and others did not leave the palace when they left the Jinluan Palace, and called Fu Changzong, Shen Yongmao and other five Shangshu, plus King Jing, to Wenzhao Pavilion to discuss again.

These people are all at the decision-making level of the Ming Dynasty, and after sitting down, they all have solemn faces.

Today's court discussion seems to be smooth, but in fact, it is all due to the emperor's prestige, not how much the ministers agree with the new policy, especially the tax reform.

Bi Ziyan is now the left second assistant, and his status is slightly higher than Sun Chengzong's right second assistant, he glanced at everyone and said: "My lords, the tax reform is imperative, it is related to national politics, if the governors of various places do not sincerely agree and promote, the effect will be greatly reduced, you might as well talk about your views." ”
