Su De did not attend the morning court, but it did not affect the officials' quarrel in the Jinluan Palace at all.
Today's early dynasty is completely different from the early dynasty when Su Hanlin and Su Hui were in power. Even if Su De is not here, it will not prevent the ministers from discussing things, because Su De gave the ministers a new right called holding a meeting. Hand vote.
When encountering some decision-making matters, they can have a serious discussion and then make a decision by a show of hands.
If it is really difficult to make a decision, or if the stakes are very important, it will be left to Su De to make the decision.
And Su De usually does not act arbitrarily. He will discuss the matter in the court and then participate in a show of hands vote.
This has led to the extremely lively morning court every day, with ministers arguing and expressing their opinions. There may even be fierce scenes where one person verbally engages in a verbal battle with others, or a group of ministers can make Su De red-faced and even run away. Funny and absurd scenes picture.
The ministers were given great power by Su De, and the influence of the imperial power was reduced again and again by Su De himself.
The whole country is developing towards a more advanced social system under the influence of this good atmosphere.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
The ministers ended the new day's quarrels and walked out of the Golden Palace with sparks in their throats.
Everyone's mouth is filled with vitality. They like the free and unrestrained morning court now, which allows them to fully display what they have learned and say everything they think in their hearts. Even if they are wrong, they are not afraid. The emperor also No blame.
The only thing that displeased them was that it was too taxing on their throats. Every time they went down, their throats were so dry that they felt like they were on fire. Sometimes they would argue so fiercely that their throats would even become hoarse for several days.
Nice romance
However, they did not dare to go to court in advance after drinking enough water. It would be terrible if they held back their urine, because they could offend the power of God if they could not pay respects during the court time.
They wanted to give Su De some advice, but they felt that Su De was already "in a miserable state" and had almost lost the majesty of the emperor. It would be too cruel to deprive him of his remaining majesty.
And they all agreed that they should maintain a sense of respect for the imperial power, otherwise something would happen.
When they arrived at Xuandemen, Su De passed by them in a dragon chariot. They hurriedly stopped and bowed to Su De.
When arguing in the court, they could temporarily not regard Su De as the emperor and only regard Su De as their opponent. However, after going to court, their respect for Su De was not less. On the contrary, the more kind Su De was to them, the more respectful they became. I am in awe of Su De.
As for why Su De didn't go to the morning court, they didn't bother to ask because they had long been used to it. They just asked because the dragon was sick.
The dragon chariot suddenly stopped when it reached the front. Su De lifted the curtain and stuck his head out, looking at the ministers and said: "I think the morning court should be divided into two parts, and a quarter of an hour can be left in the middle for all my beloved ministers. Go out and breathe some fresh air, calm down your mind, sort out your thoughts, and then make more rigorous and thoughtful arguments and decisions. What do you think of my idea?"
"Your Majesty's idea is excellent. This veteran is the first to raise his hand in agreement." Du Chengbi was the first to respond.
He was getting older, and the frequency of court attendance was somewhat unspeakable. The two-hour morning court service from five to nine in the morning was really too much for him. It would be great if there was a quarter of an hour of rest in between.
"I also raise my hands in agreement."
"minister……"
Su De's proposal suited the wishes of the ministers, so naturally they all raised their hands, and no one objected.
"Okay, that's it." Su De nodded and smiled.
"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" Du Chengbi knelt down and expressed gratitude.
Other ministers also knelt down and knelt down to worship, saying long live the mountain.
They all knew in their hearts that Su De was actually making an excuse to give them a quarter of an hour's rest so that they could solve the problem of Gong and save them from the unspeakable embarrassing torture in the morning.
They expressed their gratitude and support from the bottom of their hearts to the emperor who cared so much for his ministers.
"Everyone, get up." Su De raised his hand to the ministers, and then asked: "I am going to visit the old general at the Guowei Mansion. Do you want to go with me? No? Then I will go by myself."
"..." The ministers were speechless as they looked at the chariot going away, because Su De didn't give them a chance to answer at all.
"Haha, let me tell you, it is impossible for your Majesty to break away from the old general." A military general stroked his beard and laughed.
He felt that Su De's visit to Butcher Zhang at this time was telling the officials about his attitude towards Butcher Zhang's family.
"Your Majesty is a benevolent and righteous king, and the old general is a veteran of three dynasties. He has dedicated his whole life for Dasu and has made great contributions to the world. How could your Majesty do such an unjust act?"
"You civil servants don't understand the importance of General Zhang to our Da Su. Without the old general to intimidate the surrounding areas, do you think Da Su can be stable? Wentianzong would have eaten us long ago."
"that is…"
Some ministers who supported Zhang Tufu echoed his words.
Most of them are military generals who have almost fanatical worship of Butcher Zhang.
"You generals know how to fight and kill, but you don't know the harm that every war brings to the country and the people. Since ancient times, wars have led to heavy taxes. We, Da Su, are at a critical moment when we lighten taxes and focus on development. The people We have finally escaped from the war and lived a stable life, do you want this great situation to be destroyed by this war that should not have happened?"
"Do you want the efforts of the late emperor and emperor to go to waste?"
"Do you want Dasu to be engulfed in war again? Do you want the people of Dasu to be displaced again and starve to death everywhere?"
"Do you want to be a criminal in history?"
Some ministers who opposed the war also had reasons for their opposition. Even if Su De had made his attitude clear, they would still fight for it.
Both sides had their own reasons and refused to give in to each other. They stood on the roadside and started arguing fiercely. Some eunuchs and maids who were passing by were frightened to stop at a distance and did not dare to approach.
Dang Dang Dang!
"Old General, I'm here to see you."
Su De knocked lightly on the door of Butcher Zhang's study.
He did not let the guards at the door report to the mansion first, because Butcher Zhang knew that when he arrived, he would go out to greet him with the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers. He told Butcher Zhang several times that he did not have to do this and just treat him as a junior, but Butcher Zhang They didn't even listen, so when he came to Guowei Mansion in the future, he wouldn't let anyone know in advance. He would always go in directly. He wouldn't let anyone in until he got close to the small courtyard where Butcher Zhang lived.
He knew that Zhang Tufu was not a polite person. The reason why he was polite to him and even behaved respectfully was actually to show his imperial power. He was afraid that he would be unconvinced when the new emperor took office and had no power to rely on in the imperial capital. He was looked down upon by a group of ministers, so he set an example to shock the ministers and make them put away their arrogance.
Zhang Tufu has assisted three generations of the Su family, and he can be said to be loyal and dedicated. Su De's gratitude and respect for him cannot be described in words.
"I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming, so I missed your welcome from afar. Please forgive me."
Butcher Zhang opened the door and bowed to Su De.
"Old General, you have broken this boy." Su De hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
Butcher Zhang took the opportunity to let Su De into the study and said, "Your Majesty is here just in time. I have just written a book and am about to go to the palace to present it. Please read it."
"It's probably because of the recent controversy in the court. But let's make a deal first. If you submit your resignation, I will never allow it." Su De said first.
boom!
As soon as the door to Butcher Zhang's room was closed, he snorted coldly: "That's not up to you!"
"..."
