Chapter 1214: Ten Things to Say
After the people from the Ministry of Officials finished playing, the people from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and other ministries and yamen played in turn, all of which were the daily affairs of the yamen, which were lackluster in Li Yuntian's view.
In fact, these things can be left to the yamen of the major ministries and courts, but in order to demonstrate the power and majesty of the emperor, they must be taken to the Taihe Hall to obey the instructions of the orthodox emperor before they can be implemented.
Because the arrival of the Ming expeditionary force caused panic and hostility among the local forces in the Persian Gulf, it was necessary to increase the number of the second batch of expeditionary forces to the Persian Gulf, otherwise it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the Persian Gulf.
Although the Timurid Empire's armies were also at war with the local armed forces in the Persian Gulf, the complexity of the local society and topography made it impossible for the Timurid Empire's armies to eliminate those local forces.
For the lecture of Wutang, the orthodox emperor immediately gave him permission, although he has not yet been in power, but after all, he is the son of the great tomorrow, and has the power to make decisions and decisions.
Moreover, the orthodox emperor will be sixteen years old this year, and according to the edict left by Emperor Xuande, the orthodox emperor will be in charge on the day of his sixteenth birthday, which means that the orthodox emperor will dismiss the auxiliary ministers at that time and take back the decision-making power of those auxiliary ministers on the affairs of the imperial court.
The lecture hall is the last yamen in the major ministries and courtyards in the capital to play government affairs, so when the people who lecture the martial arts hall finish playing, it is time for the courtiers to go up and down freely.
According to the previous edict of the orthodox emperor, let the minister of civil and military affairs talk about the gains and losses after his accession to the throne.
This kind of thing is what the Ming civil officials are best at, so starting from the orthodox emperor eating and drinking, one after another civil officials stood up and pointed out the lack of the orthodox emperor.
The orthodox emperor listened attentively at the beginning, but later his face had become more ugly, after all, he was the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty, and some civil officials relied on their seniority to reprimand him, which made the orthodox emperor's face a little unbearable, but he couldn't listen patiently.
Facing the scene in front of him, Li Yuntian could only shake his head secretly, if in the Hongwu Dynasty, Yongle Dynasty and Hongxi Dynasty, no civil officials dared to do this, even those civil officials in the Xuande Dynasty were more restrained.
The reason for this is that the young orthodox emperor has not yet controlled the power in his hands, and the government affairs of the court and the central government are dominated by the civil official group, otherwise where would those civil officials have such great courage, and they would have been clicked with a knife in the Hongwu Dynasty and the Yongle Dynasty, and maybe they would have to be copied all over the house.
Compared with the civil official group, no one from the Xungui group came out to blame the orthodox emperor, since the orthodox emperor ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty first exterminated the coastal plagues, and then destroyed the Northern Yuan, making the powerful Timurid Empire submit, so the Naxi nobles really can't think of what Emperor Xuande has done.
Li Yuntian stood in front of the palace, so he clearly noticed the change in the face of the orthodox emperor, and felt a trace of helplessness in his heart.
Obviously, the orthodox emperor will definitely vent after being sulking today, so the eunuchs in the inner court will have something to do at that time, and the move of the civil official group can be described as lifting a stone to shoot itself in the foot.
"Your Majesty, the minister Hanlin said that Ryukyu has a book." When a civil official stepped back, a middle-aged official of the sixth rank walked out of the queue, came to the front of the hall and bowed to the orthodox emperor, and said in a deep voice after saluting, "The minister has ten things to say, I hope the emperor will adopt it." ”
"He's here to join in the fun!" Li Yuntian frowned slightly, looked at Liu Qiu and said secretly.
Liu Qiu, like Li Yuntian and Yu Qian, was a Jinshi in Yongle for 19 years, and Li Yuntian and Yu Qian were different in that Liu Qiu did not enter the Imperial Procuratorate, let alone be released as an official, but served as the head of the Ministry of Rites, participated in the compilation of the "Xuanzong Record", and later served as a lecturer in Hanlin under the recommendation of Hu Ying, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.
Don't look at Liu Qiu's official rank is only six grades, once it is released, then at least it is a prefect of the fourth grade, I don't know how many humanities officials have sharpened their heads and want to enter the Hanlin Academy, and the Hanlin attendants belong to the upper class of scholars and doctors, and they have a high status and reputation among civil officials.
The reason why Li Yuntian frowned was because of Liu Qiu's stinky temper, he was the same as Li Qingzheng, a bachelor of Hanlin back then, he was a stone in the pit in people's eyes, smelly and hard, and he would offend people with one mouth.
In the past, it didn't matter if Liu Qiu offended people, at that time, the Empress Dowager Zhang was still there, and she was quite important to an upright person like him, but now that the orthodox emperor is young, it is the time when his blood is strong, if he provokes the orthodox emperor without knowing the depth, then the consequences will be worrying.
Therefore, Li Yuntian patiently listened to Liu Qiu's sparseness, and most of Liu Qiu's ten words were statements such as selecting talents and appointing talents, purging officials and stopping construction, which made Li Yuntian feel a little relieved in his heart, hoping that Liu Qiu would not poke the hornet's nest.
However, before Li Yuntian could put down his heart hanging in mid-air, Liu Qiu's words came into his ears: "The minister thinks that pro-government affairs are based on the general power platform!" ”
"Pro-government with general power?" Li Yuntian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then looked at Liu Qiu, who was talking in a depressed manner, with a helpless expression.
"If the husband and the government go out by himself, the power will not be moved down, so Taizu Taizong will enter the minister in the Shunmen or the palace every morning and the afternoon and evening, and adjudicate the government in person, or if there is any doubt, then call the minister in charge of the machine, discuss it and compromise himself, so the power belongs to the top."
Under the gaze of the ministers in the main hall, Liu Qiu looked at the orthodox emperor on the dragon chair with a serious expression, "The emperor has been in the palace for nine years, and the matter is becoming more and more familiar. ”
"Alas, why be so radical!" Hearing this, Li Yuntian couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, Liu Qiu's remarks had obviously offended the orthodox emperor, and he had also offended the inner court.
The civil and military ministers in the main hall also secretly glanced at each other, but they didn't expect Liu Qiu to mention this matter, which was undoubtedly a provocation to the inner court.
Wang Zhen's face became even more gloomy, compared to Song Dashan, he was in charge of the celebrant and became the target of Liu Qiu's remarks.
If Liu Qiu's words just now are translated, it is pointed out that the orthodox emperor was not as diligent as Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle in receiving ministers on weekdays, and many things were not handled in person and were handed over to others to handle on their behalf, thus leading to "power being returned to the subordinates".
Of course, this "down" naturally refers to the eunuchs of the ceremonial eunuchs, and now that Wang Zhen is actually in charge of the ceremonial eunuchs, the spearhead is naturally aimed at him.
Li Yuntian felt extremely helpless about Liu Qiu's remarks, to be honest, his words were unfair, could he let the orthodox emperor in his teens be as diligent in government as Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle? This is obviously unrealistic, otherwise the Empress Dowager of the Zhang family would not have supported the rise of the inner court.
The orthodox emperor is nearly sixteen years old, so he can naturally hear the meaning of Liu Qiu's words, and he has no words after frowning, but his face is very gloomy.
Li Yuntian knew that the orthodox emperor was angry now, he was the teacher of the orthodox emperor, so he naturally knew the temperament of the orthodox emperor, and the performance of the civil officials in front of him had already made the orthodox emperor unhappy, and Liu Qiu's words were tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
Therefore, Li Yuntian looked at Liu Qiu with some concern, hoping that Liu Qiu's words would not stimulate the orthodox emperor again, otherwise he would hit the muzzle of the gun himself.
"Your Majesty, I am the people-oriented, so I hope that the emperor can rest the army and value the people!" Subsequently, when Liu Qiu's words came again, Li Yuntian's heart suddenly cooled by half, this Liu Qiu really lacks a string in his brain, which pot is not opened.
Obviously, Liu Qiu's "rest the army and the people with great power" is admonishing the use of troops in Luchuan, due to the Luchuan Rebellion, the Ming Orthodox Dynasty has used troops against Luchuan many times.
This made the nobles on the right side of the hall look at Liu Qiu and couldn't help but feel a little chill in their eyes, could it be that Liu Qiu meant that the guards who attacked Luchuan were too incompetent to cause the rebellion in Luchuan to be pacified?
The face of the orthodox emperor couldn't help but show a hint of anger, what Liu Qiu meant in his words was to sit back and watch the Luchuan rebellion and let those rebels occupy Luchuan? Or is it mocking him for not having military talent?
"Luchuan has been using soldiers for many years, and the deceased is seventeen or eighteen, and the military reward is incalculable...... There is a lot of trouble, and there is no end to the soldiers...... If you want to give birth to a thief who has lost a land, and drive tens of thousands of innocent people to die, is there not the benevolence to be obedient to a good life? Liu Qiu didn't notice that the situation at the scene had changed subtly, and was still there to talk to himself.
To tell the truth, Liu Qiu's exhortation to use troops is similar to the argument he insisted on a few years ago, believing that it is necessary to stop fighting and resolve the Luchuan incident peacefully, so as to prevent the people from being slaughtered by the war.
Regarding Liu Qiu's opinion, Li Yuntian secretly shook his head in his heart, in his opinion, this is Liu Qiu's woman's benevolence, it is completely a scholarly business, and the matter of Luchuan is related to the sovereignty of the Ming Dynasty's territory, how can there be room for maneuver?
However, Li Yuntian can understand Liu Qiu's move, after all, Liu Qiu is a literati and has been influenced by Confucianism since he was a child, so he naturally does not want to see a war happen.
It stands to reason that the orthodox emperor would not have dealt with Liu Qiu, and Liu Qiu's remarks about the Luchuan war were just clichés, but Liu Qiu chose the wrong time to open his mouth this time, so the orthodox emperor sounded particularly harsh.
Wang Zhen keenly noticed the change in the face of the orthodox emperor, and after sneering in his heart, he glared at Liu Qiu viciously, this guy who didn't know whether to live or die actually offended the orthodox emperor one after another, and it seemed that he didn't want to live anymore.
After finishing the sparseness, Liu Qiu bowed to the gloomy face of the orthodox emperor and retreated to his queue.
At this time, there was a death-like silence in the Taihe Palace, and no official stood up to the court, and everyone knew that Liu Qiu's two things were out of place, so whoever was full of food and support now went to provoke the orthodox emperor, after all, there were only a very few literati who were not afraid of death.
"Let's disperse." After a while, seeing that no one in the main hall came out to play, the orthodox emperor stood up from the dragon chair and said to Song Dashan with an expressionless face.
"The emperor has a decree to retreat from the dynasty." Song Dashan shouted loudly to the civil and military officials at the scene.
"Congratulations to the emperor." Hearing this, the civil and military ministers in the hall knelt down one after another and shouted in unison.
Li Yuntian, who was kneeling on the ground, looked up at the back of the departing orthodox emperor, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, it seems that the capital is going to be lively now.
