Chapter 321: Court Meeting
At the beginning of the dawn, the starry dawn broke through the night fog, and the glazed tiles on the tower of the noon gate city were gradually plated with a layer of halo. With the sound of the morning drum in three ways, the eunuch who got up early pushed open the heavy noon door, and the ministers gathered outside the door rushed in.
After passing through the doorway and crossing the Jinshui Bridge, the majestic and magnificent Chongdian in the distance is already in sight.
Xu Qian was dressed in a dress, walking in the middle of the team, slowly squirming forward with the flow of people, and he could feel the gazes that many people inadvertently projected at him.
Today's deliberations are unusual.
Mao Ji, a member of the Cabinet University, has already let go, and although the Son of Heaven is peaceful, although in the name of saving the livelihood of the Li people, he has a great achievement.
Of course, Mao Ji also came up with his killer weapon, that is, the first emperor Zhengde, who succeeded to the throne for two years, and had never heard of the good of conquest.
This sentence is really vicious, you must know that Emperor Zhengde is famous for his great achievements, and he is also a faint monarch in the eyes of all ministers, and he is also a negative example among future emperors.
Such a person, compared with Emperor Zhengde today, his intentions can be seen.
Even two years after Emperor Zhengde, who was a great meritor, ascended the throne, he did not conquer at will, and now Emperor Jiajing has not long been on the throne for the first time, he can't help but make a big move, doesn't this mean that the Jiajing Son of Heaven is not as good as the Son of Zhengde.
If the ministers do not advise and stop it, I am afraid that the mistakes of Emperor Zhengde will be repeated.
Of course, these words are only circulated in private, in a sense, Mao Ji did grasp the psychology of the ministers, the officials do not want to start a war, and provoke a war at will, which not only costs the people and money, but also may contribute to the king's great achievements.
The most hurtful thing in the world is probably the whispers behind them. The words of the official can be guarded against, explained, and even justified, but these gossips teach people to be unguardable.
Xu Qian didn't know whether these private words had entered Jiajing's ears, but Xu Qian knew that because he was in the know, he was in a very bad mood, and Xu Qian, who was unstable, pursed his lips. His face was gloomy, and his ears might be quiet, but he seemed to be able to hear the whispers behind his ears, and these whispers disturbed Xu Qian's heart.
The crowd entered the worship hall. Standing still on duty, Huang Jin, who was wearing a big red dress, had already stood up and said in a loud voice: "Wait and listen, Your Majesty has an oracle, what is said in today's court meeting - Yasukuni Pingyu!" ”
When the word "Ping" came out, everyone immediately began to talk about it, and many people thought it was true. Sure enough, what is being discussed today is really Pingwei!
Many people have already cheered up, and their eyes have fallen on Mao Ji, a university scholar.
Mao Ji didn't move at all, and his face was dark. His eyes are gloomy, but there seems to be a fighting spirit on his body, and this breath comes from the inside out. Spread all over his body, his gaze suddenly moved. It was like a lightning bolt falling on the opposite class, and across from him, it was Xu Qian who was standing.
Immediately, the corners of Mao Ji's mouth inadvertently revealed a sneer.
"Come on, I want to see today, you are compiled by Hanlin, what do you use to fight with the old man, and what do you use to fight with the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty!"
Mao Ji's heart, saying this, maybe before entering the palace, he still had a little apprehension, but once he stood in this palace, stood at the top of this palace, looked back from here, countless people looked at him with his horse, Mao Ji's heart settled, and then rose up with an unstoppable pride.
Xu Qian felt Mao Ji's gaze, he looked towards Mao Ji and smiled slightly.
His smile has a bit of indescribable charm, this smile has a bit of sincerity, like a spring breeze, it seems to be a reunion of best friends for many years. But this smile, in Mao Ji's eyes, was indescribably weird and cunning, like a poisonous snake, spitting scarlet letters, revealing Sensen's fangs.
Mao Ji laughed.
He came up with a sentence in his heart: "The clown who jumps the beam, and he dares to block the car with a praying mantis!" ”
The sound of the morning drum came again, and the hour had come.
Jiajing was wearing a gown, wearing a red crown, the dragon and the tiger stepped into the hall, his eyes looked forward to it, as if he had seen everyone in the hall, Jiajing sneered, quickly stepped on the Dan Majesty, and sat on the royal chair.
He didn't move, he didn't make a sound, he didn't squint.
The hall was eerily quiet, and from time to time there was an embarrassing cough or two.
His Majesty was silent, and Yang Tinghe, who was the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, had to stand up, he walked out slowly, and said word by word: "Your Majesty, I don't know if what we are discussing today is Pingwu?" ”
Ask while knowing the answer! But it's also a not-so-awkward opening.
Jiajing's mind may be easy to be understood, but his character is incomprehensible, maybe at this moment, he will chatter endlessly, talking about his way of governing the world, but the next moment, he may purse his lips and not say a word.
Jiajing nodded.
Yang Tinghe naturally began to preside over the court meeting, and said loudly: "Today's discussion is Pingwei, do you have anything to say?" ”
"Wechen has a play."
Standing up was Chen Wang, the head of the household department's money and grain, Chen Wang stood in the middle of the class, raised his eyes, and said loudly: "Weichen secretly thinks that the trouble is getting worse and worse, and it is impossible to run rampant, which is very hateful, but Weichen has heard of the truth that the country of ten thousand times conquers the country of a thousand times, but he has never heard of the truth that the country of ten thousand times conquers the grass pirates. His Majesty, killing chickens with a knife, the problem of scabies, why do you need to work hard, just a holy decree to order the governors of the provinces to chase and suppress. ”
Jiajing's case, his gaze swept among the ministers, obviously what Chen Wang said, it was in line with the intentions of the princes of the court, the corners of Jiajing's mouth raised slightly, sneered, and said: "If it is a will, why is it that the Japanese invaders have been raging for more than ten years, and the provinces have repeatedly attacked and suppressed, but they have not done their best, but the Japanese plague has become more and more intense?" ”
Chen Wang was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak.
Liu Yan, who is also the head of the household department in charge of warehousing, said loudly: "Your Majesty's words are wrong, the trouble is getting worse, it is not a crime of war, but only money and food, although the general officers and soldiers of the provinces have a huge number of troops and horses, but the money and food are insufficient, and they can't use all their strength, Weichen thinks that the imperial court only needs to allocate a certain amount of money and grain, and to the provinces, the officials and generals of the provinces will definitely rise up and destroy the thieves, but His Majesty claims to abolish the purge guards, isn't it that the relatives and enemies are fast, and the officials and soldiers are abolished, and they must be recruited separately, After recruitment, it is necessary to take time to practice, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also wastes money and food, and the current treasury is no longer enough. ”
Obviously, these people have already had the means to deal with Jiajing, Jiajing wants to pacify the Japanese, but the problem is that they can't go with great fanfare, not to mention making such a big move in order to pacify the Japanese, and even the guards in several provinces south of the Yangtze River have to be abolished, plus the recruitment of military horses, plus all kinds of consumption, where is this to suppress bandits, it is simply a toss.
In this case, everyone can take a step back and let the provinces suppress it, in fact, it is not a big deal.
"The officers and soldiers of the Jiangnan guards, are they really available? Wang thought, I'm afraid it's not true, I'm from Fujian, just before I entered Beijing, hundreds of officers and soldiers in Chengpingwei, Fujian, were attacked by dozens of Japanese pirates, what was the result? Hundreds of officers and soldiers were defeated, and the Japanese were not damaged at all, what is the use of such officers and soldiers? ”
Someone finally stood up, and everyone looked at it, but it was the new Hanlin Wang Qi, this Wang Qi was Xu Qian's same year, just entered Hanlin, and his temperament was also surprisingly hot, although he was facing his predecessors, his tone was not too polite.
When Jiajing heard this, his spirit couldn't help but perk, he was afraid that the minister's one-sided opposition would be greater, as long as someone stood up to support him, his face would look better.
The controversy between the DPRK and China finally began, the ministers, you say a word, some people strongly oppose it, but there are also people who stand up to refute, the officials who refute are mostly officials in Zhejiang and Fujian, the reason why these people have the courage to come out to support the peace and the widow is nothing more than that on the one hand, their hometown is hindered by the victimization of the widow, on the other hand, it is also in the south of the Yangtze River, the matter of the peace and widow has attracted the attention of the gentry, people, they all have a good reputation, if they are silent at this time, they are afraid that they will be scolded.
However, these ministers who support Pingwei, after all, are still a minority, Mao Ji in the class has been a little impatient, his eyes towards one of the ministers, the minister will understand, and then said loudly: "Weichen strongly opposed, saying a thousand ways and ten thousand ways, it is nothing more than hoping to make a big move in Jiangnan, but have you ever thought that once you make a big move, it may not be a good thing for Jiangnan, and the war will cause how many displaced people, and how many people will lose their jobs if the guards are abolished?" ”
The one who stood up and spoke was Yang Chen, the director of the Ministry of Officials.
As soon as Yang Chen came out, the discussion suddenly subsided.
You know, this Lord Yang is not ordinary, what people are holding in their hands, but everyone's black gauze hat, if you oppose him, if he waits for an opportunity to retaliate, I am afraid that this future will be bleak.
The so-called gentleman does not erect a dangerous wall, and normal people will inevitably weigh and weigh this kind of thing that may involve their own future.
And this is the effect of Mao Ji, he smiled slightly and glanced at Yang Chen encouragingly.
Yang Chen's spirit was shocked, and he continued: "Besides, some people exaggerate the harm of the Japanese robbers, what is the reason for this, it is nothing more than that some people have selfish intentions, the trouble of scabies, who is the beneficiary?" It is said that the Japanese are raging, but Jiangnan is still singing and dancing, where does the ravages come from? ”
What he said was a bit excessive, but sometimes, the more excessive he said, the more deterrent he said, it was like encountering a contradiction between passers-by, and people with a high voice often had the upper hand.
