Chapter 854: Cornered
The person who stood up and spoke was the first person who opposed the imperial court's use of the "Examination Law" before, that is, Yu Menggui, "Your Majesty, Wechen is not talking about the things that Lord Qian said before, Wechen is just talking about things, I think it is too early for the imperial court to use the words of the "Examination Law" now,"
"Oh, Yu Aiqing also said before," Zhu Yijun didn't show any anger at Yu Menggui's words, after all, he stood up and spoke well, not messing around, and as long as he dared to be reasonable, there was naturally nothing to be afraid of here, you reasoned, I reasoned, and in the end, there was always one party with greater reason, that is, the winner, and for Zhu Yijun, there are many reasons for the imperial court to use the "Examination Law", if you really want to say the shortcomings, then there will definitely be, After all, nothing in the world is perfect, it's just that the sea can't be found for a while, but Zhu Yijun is not very worried about this matter, after all, although this "Examination Method" was only proposed by Zhang Juzheng recently, but in fact, Zhang Juzheng has been studying for many years, and he is not alone, among them, there are even fewer people like Zhang Fan and Zhang Siwei who came to help. If it takes so much time to fail to see what the shortcomings are, it will still be very difficult for others to find out the shortcomings in a short period of time.
Therefore, Zhu Yijun is not disgusted with people who dare to stand up and reason, and even he is willing to see such people stand up, firstly, this kind of person will not say something obviously wrong to confuse the public and stir up nonsense, and more importantly, Zhu Yijun understands in his heart that his side will win, how to say it, this can be regarded as fearless, but this really makes him relax.
"But......" Zhu Yijun nodded and continued, "Those things just now made me a little confused, what did Yu Aiqing say before?"
"Your Majesty," Yu Menggui didn't seem anxious, and said, "Weichen feels that the imperial court is using the "Examination Law" at this time, which is really a bit too early, although it is said that in the previous flood management in Henan, Shandong, and Nanzhili, the examination method was used, and it was fruitful, but although this water control matter is big, it is really a trivial matter compared to governing the country.
"Well, what Yu Aiqing said is also very reasonable," this time Zhu Yijun didn't want to sneer like before, looking like if you provoked me, you would be unlucky, but very calm, and even agreed with Yu Menggui's words, and then looked at Zhang Siwei who was still standing aside, and said, "I don't know Zhang Aiqing, but there is an answer to answer Yu Aiqing," Obviously, he is going to push the question to Zhang Siwei, not that Zhu Yijun is irresponsible, but today's home stadium should be Zhang Siwei, Zhu Yijun is just a trickster, but he stole the show a little just now.
"Weichen also felt that what Lord Yu said also made some sense," Zhang Siwei also became more polite in the face of Yu Menggui, and said, "Yes, the matter of water control, although it is directly related to the clothing, food, housing and transportation of the people, is indeed not to be underestimated, but compared to the governance of the country, the matter of water control is really not worth mentioning. Water 'is fine, and you don't have to worry about anything else, but in terms of governing the country, there are too many things involved, and the scale is huge, and there are countless changes, and if you don't grasp it right, there may be any mistakes.
Zhang Siwei said this, stopped, his words can be said to be extremely pertinent, the words can be said to be thoughtful, and there is no single favoritism, these words made Yu Menggui happy, but he was also puzzled, he didn't know why Zhang Siwei, who should be against him, would actually say such words in agreement with him.
"However, Your Majesty, Weichen still disagrees with what Master Yu said, "Sure enough, Zhang Siwei still has something to say."
Zhang Siwei's words made Zhu Yijun, who was also a little confused just now, react, and asked very cooperatively: "Zhang Aiqing, I am a little confused when I say this, what Aiqing said just now, I also think it is very reasonable, but why does Aiqing still disagree with what Yu Aiqing said?"
"Your Majesty, the reason for this is actually very simple," Zhang Siwei explained, "Your Majesty, and all the adults present, please think about it, if the imperial court implements the "Examination Law", what changes will be made in the management of the imperial government?"
The question of positive thinking has been asked, but for a while, no one can answer it at all, although Yu Menggui, who was standing in front of him, raised a question that seemed to be worth thinking about, but when Zhang Siwei asked him so rhetorically, he couldn't think of how to answer it at all.
"Lord Yu," However, even if Yu Menggui didn't speak, Zhang Siwei naturally wouldn't let him go easily, "Since this matter was raised by Lord Yu before, this question has to be answered by Lord Yu,"
"This ......" Yu Menggui didn't expect that Zhang Siwei would be so choking, this style of pressing step by step can be said to be very different from the previous Zhang Siwei, I have never seen Zhang Siwei so pressing on anyone step by step, and I have never even heard of it.
And now, Zhang Siwei has simply changed his appearance, but this appearance simply makes people have no room to parry.
"What's the matter, Yu Aiqing," Zhu Yijun is a master who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, seeing that Yu Menggui does not speak, he has to force it, "Zhang Aiqing's question, it is not difficult to answer, if you can't say it, then you can't say it, how simple it is, if you can say it, compared to Yu Aiqing, you have already thought of it, then wouldn't it be more convenient to say it,"
"This ...... Your Majesty...... Wei Chen ...... "In the face of Zhu Yijun's words, Yu Menggui was even more embarrassed, unable to say a word, he could only say these words back and forth in his mouth, but he couldn't say anything else, and after a long time, he opened his mouth to speak, "Your Majesty, although the official rank of Weichen is not as high as that of Lord Zhang, but Weichen and Lord Zhang belong to the same courtiers who serve His Majesty, and their status is equal, Wechen refused to answer Lord Zhang's words,"
Look at this, he was still very righteous before, and he was tepid when he spoke, and he was completely convincing with reason, but now, he was caught in the sore spot, but he began to play scoundrels again, it seems that these years, not only can he not judge people by his appearance, but even this first image is not very accurate, it seems that if you want to recognize people correctly, you have to be in a disadvantageous situation when the other party is in a disadvantageous situation, so that you can see what a person's character looks like.
"Well, yes, what Yu Aiqing said is true, you Aiqing may have high and low official positions, but they are also serving the Ming Dynasty, and their essence is no different," Zhu Yijun still looked like "I understand", spoke very gently, looked at Yu Menggui, and said, "In that case, Yu Aiqing, do you think I am higher than you?"
"This ...... Your Majesty...... His Majesty is a king, and Weichen is a courtier, so naturally His Majesty's status is high, "When he said this, Yu Menggui was already sweating, although it was still the beginning of autumn at this time, the weather was not particularly cool, and there was still a little bit of summer heat, but it was really not to the point where it could make people sweat, let alone like this Yu Menggui.
"Then, if I say what I say, if you are asked to do something, can you still refuse," Zhu Yijun continued with a nonchalant look.
"Your Majesty is the king, and the ministers are the ministers, if the king has orders, how can the ministers die without giving up...... How can he refuse," these words, especially the last sentence, he simply said it with a gritted teeth, but he had no way, he had been closed to a dead end, not to say that, he knew the consequences of saying this, it was very likely that he was going to be unlucky, but he had no way back at all, if he didn't say so, then he had to take another step forward and jump off the cliff directly.
"Okay, what Yu Aiqing said, it really makes sense, and everything goes to my heart," Zhu Yijun looked elated and said, "You Aiqing have heard it clearly, you have to listen to what I say in the future,"
Weichen understood, "These people present also cooperated, shouting in unison, but some people were willing to shout like this, and he was happy to shout, but some people were not like this, although they also shouted, but it was obvious that they were also forced.
"Well, it's best like this, it's just ......" Zhu Yijun said this, paused, looked wavering, and continued to speak, "Well, it's just that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and I also know some things, you just talk about it, so let's do it, Yu Aiqing, I will order you now, you must answer the question that Zhang Aiqing asked you just now, if you say it, it is just to set an example for everyone in the elders, if you don't say it, it doesn't matter, I will also let them see what will happen if you don't listen to my orders, It's good for them to be prepared in advance,"
After Zhu Yijun's words were finished, Yu Menggui's face was already pale and bloodless.
This...... This is simply forcing people to a dead end,
