Zhu Yuanzhang said nothing. He sat on the dragon chair and propped up his cheek to see how Chu Ze would respond.
When Chu Ze took out the memorial, he knew that it would not be easy to achieve.
Look, there's a fuss.
Zhu Biao and his brothers were all sweating for Chu Ze when they saw this.
Just by kneeling just now, more than half of the officials were present. If they really left, the court would be paralyzed.
This is "forcing the uterus".
Chu Ze glanced at these people, turned back to Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Your Majesty, since they are leaving, please allow your Majesty to resign."
"What?"
The officials were shocked.
Chu Ze actually let them leave? !
All the officials looked at each other secretly. Chu Ze must be crazy.
Zuo Chong was also confused. He looked Chu Ze up and down several times, but he still couldn't understand what Chu Ze was planning.
But he knew that he couldn't get involved in this matter.
The emperor even asked Chu Ze to come to the palace to speak, which shows that he agrees with it in his heart.
These people kneeling here today will offend the emperor tomorrow.
He only loves money and does not want to seek death.
Zuo Chong stood in the corner silently.
Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at Chu Ze in surprise.
After a moment, he said to Chu Ze: "Chu Ze, you have to know what you are talking about."
"Of course I know." Chu Ze repeated what he just said, "Since they want to leave, please ask the emperor to agree to their resignation."
Zhu Fang was so anxious that he wanted to rush to Chu Ze and cover his mouth: "Chu Ze, do you know what you are talking about!"
Zhu Di also looked at Chu Ze seriously.
Zhu Biao sat up straight, but held the armrests of the chair tightly with his hands: "Chu Ze, you have to think about some things before you say them."
"Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness, but I know what I am talking about." Chu Ze straightened up, looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and said, "But we can only send their corpses back home."
"!"
Everyone in the hall instantly went into a panic.
"Chu Ze, what do you mean?"
"The Emperor is still here, and you still want to kill us. Are you trying to rebel?"
"Your Majesty, Chu Ze has evil intentions. Your Majesty, you must not spare this person. Please kill this person quickly, otherwise our country will be in danger!"
"..."
Zhu Yuanzhang and his son also looked at Chu Ze in disbelief.
This kid is so brave that he dares to kill all these people.
If you don't give a reasonable reason, then...
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a chill in his heart.
Before he could figure out how to deal with Chu Ze, he saw Chu Ze turning his head and scolding these ministers plausibly: "What a danger! In our opinion, the real danger to Ming Dynasty is to keep you here. You can always use excuses. The officials are threatening us, are you threatening us? You are threatening the emperor!"
Everyone was shocked in their hearts and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang subconsciously.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at them expressionlessly, like a god of death waiting to reap his life.
Chu Ze continued: "As soon as the emperor compromises today, everyone will think this method is effective if the situation is not guaranteed in the future. If things go on like this, the civil and military forces of the entire dynasty will unite and threaten to remove themselves from office. So, is this emperor the emperor or the emperor? Are you sitting here? From now on, will the world be that of the Ming Dynasty, or that of your ministers! Just like you rebellious ministers and traitors, the emperor didn’t give you a slaying of the Nine Tribes, that’s all because of the emperor’s benevolence.”
Every time Chu Ze said a word, the faces of the kneeling ministers turned paler.
"Your Majesty, I was confused for a moment, please forgive me." These people didn't dare to listen anymore.
He was afraid that if Chu Ze continued to speak, their lives would really not be saved.
Whether it's a school or not, Chu Ze can open it however he wants. They definitely don't have the slightest idea!
Chu Ze looked at these confused people, and the corners of his mouth curled up with a smile of satisfaction.
The feeling of a fox pretending to be a tiger is quite good.
Chu Ze turned his head and bowed deeply to a certain big tiger.
Chu Ze knew very well that these people were never afraid of him.
It's not his words either.
What they were afraid of was Zhu Yuanzhang.
Once Zhu Yuanzhang had murderous intentions, one of their feet had already stepped into the gate of hell.
And Chu Ze's words were just a hand pushing them towards the gate of hell.
And this is the real reason why they gave up the "forced pregnancy".
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and looked at Chu Ze for a moment.
Then, he moved his gaze away from Chu Ze and fell on the kneeling officials.
"What Chu Ze said is true, but I am not a person who kills innocent people indiscriminately. But your actions today can be exempted from death, but living crimes are unforgivable. Come, drag them down, give them thirty sticks each, so that they can remember it. Know what to say and what not to say.”
"yes!"
The Imperial Guards outside the palace immediately poured into the palace and dragged the ministers out.
The next moment, there was a sound of hitting a board outside the hall.
Zuo Chong: "..."
Zuo Chong silently wiped his sweat.
Fortunately, when Yu Heng suggested that he should also stand up and object, he refused.
Otherwise, one of the people lying outside the temple would be him.
But can Chu Ze parry his next move?
Zuo Chong was quite curious.
After a rough chat, these people became much more honest.
Chu Ze showed his blueprint to the ministers, and they were no longer as excited as before.
After reading it, two-thirds of the people changed their minds, and the remaining one-third abstained.
These people are not important, Chu Ze doesn't care.
The blueprint has been approved, and the next thing is the money.
Chu Ze looked at Yu Xi.
Yu Xi: "..." His body trembled inexplicably.
But when he thought of what Mr. Hu said before, his anxious heart calmed down a lot.
He took Chu Ze's budget and looked at it carefully.
The more he looked, the tighter Yu Xing's brows became.
After he finished reading, Yu Ji said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty, this expenditure is too great, and now there is not enough money in the treasury."
"Isn't it enough?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned suddenly, "Where did all the money go?"
Yu Ji said: "The military expenses required for the expedition to Japan are a huge expenditure. Now the money in the national treasury must be reserved for military expenses, food and fodder, and to ensure the normal operation of the country. If this amount is no longer allocated, , then the money in our treasury is absolutely not enough. If the emperor does not believe it, I can immediately go get the account and ask the emperor to see it."
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the dragon chair.
Chu Ze, who was standing in the palace, was also a little dumbfounded.
He had calculated everything, but he didn't expect that things would get stuck here.
How could there be no money in the treasury...
He remembered that he had discussed with Zhu Biao before that there should be enough money in the treasury.
Could it be that someone was deliberately trying to embarrass him?
Chu Ze glanced at Zuo Chong.
Zuo Chong noticed his gaze, rolled his eyes in disgust, and then looked to the other side, as if he didn't bother to look at you.
Chu Ze: "..."
