Chapter 429: Not playing according to the routine
The Zhejiang officials didn't expect that the words of the auxiliary political king would be so straightforward and ruthless.
There was even a Dragon Guard officer who smiled and whispered, "These individuals are thick-skinned enough." β
"Yes, I didn't follow the edict to persuade King Lu to abdicate before, but now I think of the benefits mentioned in the edict of the first emperor, and the benefits of both ends are not delayed."
"If this is me, I don't want to mention the edict of the first emperor when I am killed, you can look at them again, tsk......"
These generals said it was whispering, but they could be heard seven or eight paces around their voices. Rao is ministers of the Zhejiang Domain, no matter how thick-skinned they are, they are all flushed at this time, and they have the heart to refute, but they have no choice but to say that what they say is true, and if they continue to entangle, they can only slap their faces.
But this matter is about glory and wealth, but it cannot stop there. The Zhejiang officials lowered their heads and looked at each other again, nodding to each other secretly.
Although they didn't expect the Auxiliary King to be so ruthless when they connected before, they had also considered the rejection of their request, and they had already planned for it.
Now is the time to use the plan!
At that moment, it was the white-bearded official in his sixties who stood up, deliberately coughed loudly, and knelt down and said: "Your Highness, the old minister is very old, and if he goes to the local government to be an official, he is afraid that he will not be able to support his physical strength." Please also ask His Royal Highness to be gracious, and the quasi-old minister will return to his hometown. β
Without waiting for Zhu Linmiao to reply, someone knelt down and said: "Xiaguan has lost his young son, and he is sad in his heart, and he wants to take a leave of absence for two years......"
"Your Royal Highness, the lower officials have been in the household department for many years, and they are not familiar with the affairs of the political envoys, so it is better to let the virtuous give the young people ......"
"The ancestral tomb of Xiaguan was disturbed by the previous military disaster, and I also asked His Royal Highness to take a year off and return to his hometown to rebuild the ancestral tomb......"
"The lower officials admire the countryside and want to retire and plough ......"
For a time, a large number of officials knelt in the palace, either resigning or taking leave. There are still many people on the side who are closely watching the development of the situation and have the posture of continuing to participate in it.
Seeing this, Zhu Linmiao couldn't help frowning slightly. These people are picky on the surface, which is nothing, three-legged toads are not easy to find, two-legged people are not everywhere, and the vacant position is just right to promote their own people.
But he knows it's far from that simple. At present, he is almost blind in Zhejiang, but these officials in front of him have been operating here for a long time, which can be described as intertwined.
If they really agree to their resignation, when they return to their hometowns, they will definitely incite their protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials and fellow clansmen to make trouble everywhere. In addition, a large number of courtiers suddenly resigned, and the people were more likely to panic. Under the combined efforts of the two, Zhejiang will surely fall into a big chaos.
These people are making such calculations, and when the situation in Zhejiang gets out of control, the imperial court can only ask them to return to the court in disgrace. At that point, they naturally have plenty of bargaining chips.
Playing with me? Okay, let's see which of us can have fun! Zhu Linmiao sat back on the chair again, smiled lightly and waved her hand, "What are you doing, adults?" State affairs are important, and I hope that everyone can stick to their duties, and we can discuss what we want. β
The officials kneeling below were all proud when they heard this, this auxiliary king was so young, and everyone scared him at the slightest threat, no, the words immediately softened.
The white-bearded minister immediately continued: "The old minister is powerless in local affairs, and he hopes to be able to work in Tianxing Mansion." β
Zhu Linmiao smiled at the others again, "That's what you mean, too?" β
Everyone looked at each other again and nodded subconsciously.
"There's a lot to be said about this matter, but it's not up to me to say it alone." Zhu Linmiao deliberately said seriously, "I will leave to return to Tianxing Mansion, pay homage to the Holy Lord, and immediately discuss and solve it with the cabinet and officials." β
As he spoke, he stood up and beckoned to Zhang Jiayu, "Order, the Dragon Guard Army and the Broken Battalion will immediately reorganize the army, pull out the camp from time to time, and escort me back to Fujing!" β
The latter immediately saluted: "Yes! "Turn around and go out.
Everyone in the hall, including Zhu Yihai, was stunned, and they wanted to go back to Fujing?! ButγBut the army of more than 100,000 Jianyu has approached the north bank of Qiantang, and the main force of the Zhejiang army has already been defeated in the hands of Fang Guoan. It's bound to be broken overnight!
Qian Sule was the first to react, His Royal Highness the Auxiliary King is trying to pick a son!
He hurriedly stopped Zhang Jiayu, walked quickly to the middle of the main hall, knelt down in his clothes, and said in a loud voice: "The lower officials agree with the arrangement of the imperial court, and are willing to serve as the political envoy of Zhejiang." The lower officials thought that there was no need for the cabinet to discuss the matter. β
As he spoke, he glanced at Zhang Mingzhen, Xiong Rulin and others. Those people had also come to their senses, knelt down with Qian Sule, and said that they were willing to accept the appointment of the imperial court and "promote" to a new position.
"This is not good...... Zhu Linmiao glanced at the officials who had not yet expressed his position, and deliberately lengthened his voice, "What the ministers want, it is better for the cabinet to consider it carefully......"
Qian Sule looked at the courtiers beside him and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing in a daze?" Speak! β
When the other officials who provoked trouble saw that several of the most powerful ministers of the Zhejiang Domain had compromised, they immediately felt that they had lost their backbone, and the huge threat brought by Hong Chengchou's more than 100,000 Qing troops soon made someone say: "Fang and Fang Cai's officials are not thoughtful, and they should focus on state affairs, and should not mislead the public ...... because of personal interests."
Someone took the lead, and the back was much sharper.
"After careful consideration, the affairs of the family can be delayed for a while......"
"The lower officials feel that they should no longer work for His Royal Highness, and it is better to serve as arranged by the imperial court."
"The lower officials are ashamed, and they still won't return to their hometowns for the time being......"
In this way, ...... waited for the officials who had previously "resigned" and "taken leave" to step aside again, Zhu Linmiao nodded "reluctantly", "Then I'll follow everyone's wishes." β
Qian Sule and the others wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads. He was still waiting for the auxiliary king to appease everyone before bargaining, which was the case in the court in the past. But His Royal Highness the Auxiliary Governor did not follow the usual path, and even did not care about the situation at all, and compared with the courtiers......
Zhu Linmiao greeted with a smile again, "Everyone continue to eat and drink, don't let the food be cold." Then he seemed to be very casual and said, "Actually, it's not difficult to become an official, as long as you can make some achievements, I never ask about my background."
"Oh, come on, I'll toast you."
By the time of the near-declaration, the banquet had dispersed.
In Zhu Linmiao's big tent, Zhang Jiayu said solemnly: "My lord, although you have temporarily suppressed the Zhejiang courtiers by extraordinary means, it is difficult to ensure that they will not be distracted, and I am afraid that in the future, I will hinder the imperial decrees." β
He saw Zhu Linmiao nodding, and continued: "My subordinates think about it, the courtiers in Zhejiang can speak so unanimously because they still take King Lu as the banner, so they can quickly gather people in tandem.
"If you can try to change the title of King Lu to other places, then the Zhejiang family has no leader, and the ministers have no connection, so they can only respect the court."

"I am the sword."
