After the officials entered the Fengtian Hall, they saw the emperor sitting on the dragon throne. Most of them were surprised.
Why did your Majesty come so early?
The procedure of the court meeting was that the ministers arrived first, and then the emperor was welcomed. But this time Zhu Jianshen came early, which was obviously against common etiquette.
Moreover, dozens of guards in uniforms lined up on both sides of the hall also revealed something strange.
Of course, only a handful of these courtiers saw something was wrong.
Zhu Shou and Chen Ying didn't think too much.
During the arrangement, Cheng Guogong raised his eyebrows and winked at Chen Ying.
"Marquis Taining, you are right. Your Majesty must be here for the draft. You can see that you can't wait for it. He came so early."
"Although His Majesty is the True Dragon Emperor, he has grown up slowly. Men are not all the same..."
After the officials lined up, Honglu Temple shouted.
"bye……"
"Kowtow to your majesty, long live your majesty, long live, long live your majesty..."
Zhu Jianshen said loudly: "Pingshen."
As Zhu Jianshen's voice fell, the four eunuchs shouted in unison: "Ping Shen."
"Thank you, Your Majesty..."
The officials stood up one after another.
After all the officials stood up, Zhu Jianshen said: "My father is hunting in the north, and it has been ten years since I ascended the throne. During these ten years, thanks to the dedicated assistance of all my beloved ministers, the country's fortunes are prosperous and the country is peaceful and the people are safe."
"I have endless gratitude to him in my heart, especially Yu Taibao, who was ordered to protect the country during the war. Over the years, he has been my teacher. He has taught me many times about my studies and the concepts of governing the country. I respect him in my heart."
"At the beginning of the eighth year of Chenghua, I had a dispute with Yu Taibao due to academic matters, which made all the officials love your ministers and think about it."
"The road to Taihang can destroy a car. The water of Wu Gorge can overturn a boat. My dear friends all feel that I will be alienated from the Taibao, or even angry at the Taibao. But my dear friends are all wrong..."
Zhu Jianshen said so much, but he just expressed his attitude, which can be regarded as a question for today's court meeting.
But all the officials were shocked when they heard this.
Your Majesty, he used a big move from the beginning.
The most unspeakable thing in the current Ming Dynasty.
One, where is dad?
Second, the relationship between the Taibao and His Majesty the Emperor became increasingly tense.
After Zhu Jianshen finished speaking, the court hall was very quiet, and the officials did not dare to breathe heavily.
Could it be that what His Majesty said was ironic and he is going to take action against the Taibao now?
Li Xian has always been very calm in his heart. He knows what Zhu Jianshen means. Now he has diverted the topic to ask the officials to affirm the Taibao's character first. When the new policy comes out later, these officials will definitely be embarrassed to scold him so harshly. …
From time to time, the censor officials raised their heads and glanced at the back of Xu Youzhen's head. After His Majesty finished speaking, as usual, it was Xu Youzhen's personal performance time.
Sure enough, just when everyone expected it.
Xu Youzhen came out.
Whether what His Majesty the Emperor said was irony or not, and what the purpose of such words was, depends on what Xu Youzhen said.
The officials all pricked up their ears to listen to what Xu Youzhen said so that they could make a judgment as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, if you treat your ministers like dirt, then I will treat you like a bandit. Your Majesty's heartfelt words moved me deeply."
"When the heaven and the earth are in harmony, all things will live. When the monarch and his ministers are in harmony, the country will be peaceful. In Taibao, loyalty to the monarch and the country, Qingzhu's ambition, the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty do not know each other. Your Majesty is worrying too much."
When the officials heard this, they were all dizzy.
This morning, I started playing riddles.
The words Xu Youzhen said seemed to be speaking to Yu Taibao, but they seemed to say nothing because they were too empty.
These words can only make officials more confused.
Zhu Jianshen also felt the same after listening to Xu Youzhen's words.
Could it be that Xu Youzhen didn't have a good rest yesterday and was in poor condition?
However, after a while, Zhu Jianshen knew that his judgment was a little premature.
With tears in her eyes, Xu Youzhen looked at Yu Qian affectionately.
This made the surrounding officials feel a chill in their eyes.
He let go.
"Your Majesty, although Yu Taibao is the chief minister of the dynasty and an important minister of the country, he never uses his power for personal gain. As far as I know, he lives in poverty. Now his family of five still lives in a small house in the west of the city."
"My lord, every time I think about how an important minister of the country is so poor, I feel admiration and pain in my heart. I beg your majesty to understand me and give me a reward..."
"In this way, I will feel better in my heart, and I will be able to fulfill Your Majesty's name as a Holy King."
After Zhu Jianshen listened, he nodded.
Then look around.
But after the officials noticed Zhu Jianshen's gaze, they came out one after another.
"Your Majesty, please give me a reward..."
"Your Majesty, please give me a reward..."
…………
All the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were echoing...
Zhu Jianshen immediately looked at Yu Qian.
"To Taibao, I will give you a house east of the imperial city. I hope you will accept it..."
Because Zhu Jianshen had asked Zhu Ji to ventilate Yu Qian's breath last night, Yu Qian came out, paused for a while, and then thanked him.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
In Fengtian Hall, the scene was harmonious.
Everyone praises Yu Qian...
The harmonious style of painting did not last long.
Following Xu Youzhen's words: "Your Majesty, I was in the cabinet and participated in the new policy drafted by Taibao, Li Fuchen and others. I felt that it was beneficial to the country and the people, so I took this opportunity to petition your majesty to approve the implementation of the new policy." ."
After the officials heard this, they fell silent again.
Implement the New Deal.
Why have I never heard of the New Deal?
"Censor of Xudu, what is the New Deal?"
Zhan Yang was the first to stand up and said. He was also very confused. He was singing praises and praises, but it wasn't his turn to speak yet, so why did he change the scene.
"Everyone has his share of the land, the officials and gentry work together as errands, they pay the grain as one, and the ship merchant tax is restarted." Xu Youzhen said loudly.
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire Fengtian Palace became eerily silent again.
In fact, the most important of these is the middle sentence, the officials and the gentry work as one and receive food as one.
Duke Cheng Guo quickly looked at Hou Taining, but Hou Taining was looking at Xu Youzhen, and he didn't know what he was thinking...
Zhu Jianshen was not in a hurry to express his position, but looked at the reactions of the officials in the court indifferently.
This is equivalent to asking these vested interests to cut off their own flesh and shoulder the task of feeding themselves for the people...
And it took a lot of courage for Xu Youzhen to shout loudly at the Fengtian Palace meeting.
After listening to this, Zhan Yang also took a breath of air.
Does this mean that the 100 acres of farmland in my hometown will also have to pay taxes starting next year?
The officials began to react, and the censors who had been following Xu Youzhen also lost their direction at this moment.
Shang Ren, Wang Wen, Cheng Guogong and other big figures began to express their stance.
Neither is supported.
"Words that harm the country and the people..."
"The theory of great rebellion and injustice..."
There were also other officials who began to denounce the cabinet group represented by Yu Qian. They were praising them just now, but now they are scolding them.
"If those who study have to pay taxes like ordinary people, it will dampen the enthusiasm of scholars for reading and affect the enlightenment plans of saints."
"Wen Qian, Li Xian, Xu Youzhen and others should be dismissed from their official positions and allowed to go home and reflect."
…………
Zhu Jianshen has been listening.
Then, he glanced at Yu Qian, Li Xian, and Xu Youzhen. The moment Zhu Jianshen's eyes fell on Xu Youzhen.
When Xu Youzhen said these words, her good reputation for many years in the government was completely gone.
Zhu Jianshen glanced at Zhang Bao.
Zhang Baozhi shouted at the top of his lungs: "Quiet, quiet..."
But the officials still forgot about it and insulted Xu Youzhen and others.
It seems as if the three of them are really the ones bringing disaster to the country and the people.
Zhu Jianshen looked at Zhang Bao and his words had no effect. The whole court was in chaos, and he immediately glanced at Zhu Ji who was standing next to him.
Zhu Ji waved his big hand, and the Jin Yiwei who had been watching from both sides stepped forward one after another and pushed the official who was jumping the highest and scolding the most fiercely down directly in the palace.
When the officials saw this scene, their voices became quieter.
This time seven people were knocked down.
There are three censors, one is a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, one is a doctor in the Ministry of Punishments, and there is also a minister in the Ministry of Personnel, the official Zhu Shou.
In fact, Zhu Shou and Shang Ren only whispered a few words that they shouldn't have said, and did not follow the censors, doctors and officials in jumping up and swearing.
But the two of them were still knocked down.
Because Zhu Jianshen is looking for a model. The model of a scholar is Lang Shangren, the model of a scholar, and the model of a military general is Duke Cheng.
It can be said that even if they don't say a word, they will be pressed.
Chen Ying looked at Duke Cheng Guo who was pushed to the ground, and was also very surprised, because Guo Deng, who was standing behind him, was scolding his mother and was not detained by the Jin Yiwei. Why did Duke Cheng Guo just say a few words in a low voice? There is such an end.
Chen Ying's thoughts were Zhu Shou's thoughts at this time.
Grandma, what's going on? Others are scolding me, why are you pressing the button on me, Lao Zhu...
After the Fengtian Palace became quiet, there was a place for Zhu Jianshen to speak.
"Are you speaking for the scholars, for the people of the world, or for your own selfish desires? Duke Cheng, you are the oldest, have the greatest merit, and have the highest title. You, answer me..."
"Your Majesty, I didn't say anything. I support the New Deal. It must be that the Jin Yiwei heard wrongly. Just now I heard that General Guo behind me scolded Xu Youzhen's mother..." Zhu Shou said quickly.
He wasn't stupid either. After thinking about it for a while, he understood.
This was Zhu Jianshen letting himself express his position.
After Guo Deng listened to Zhu Shou's words, he frowned slightly. How could he betray his teammates?
When Zhu Jianshen heard Zhu Shou's words, he was also a little stunned. Why didn't Zhu Shou play his cards according to the routine?
The normal script is that he should contradict himself a few words, and then become angry and order people to drive him out of the palace and remove him from the military post. This can serve as a deterrent to the generals, and then find an excuse to make up for him afterwards.
But now he supports it as soon as he opens his mouth, how should he act in the next scene.
Guo Deng.
Zhu Jianshen looked at Guo Deng.
"Your Majesty, Duke Cheng Guo heard it wrong. I didn't say anything just now. The scene was a bit chaotic. A civil servant in red robe ran in front of me and scolded the censor of Xudu. I also supported him..." Guo Deng hurriedly knelt down to express his attitude.
Chen Ying also said loudly: "No matter whether your Majesty supports the New Deal or not, we, the honorable ministers, will definitely support your Majesty's decision."
Chen Ying was sober in the world. He knew that if Xu Youzhen did not communicate with the emperor, how could he dare to shout the slogan that officials and gentry should work as one and pay taxes as one.
It is obvious that His Majesty the Emperor knows about this matter and also supports it. Your military commanders are hereditary and have no regard for succession. The civil servants have long disliked it. If you are greedy and annoy His Majesty, you will only put the cart before the horse and put the cart before the horse. His Majesty pushed towards the civil servants...
In the Song Dynasty, it was a national policy to use culture to govern military affairs. In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has also shown signs of success. Military officers and nobles must strive for success and be cautious.
The civil servants were all grumbling, because they were outsiders and they had nothing wrong.
But the generals and nobles had to stand with the emperor, because they were one with the royal family.
As soon as Chen Ying finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Shou who was pushed to the ground and spoke out his support...
No matter what the generals thought in their minds, they all agreed on the same tone at this time.
"We will definitely support His Majesty's decision..."
Zhu Jian took a deep look at Zhu Ji, and then waved his hand.
The two Jinyi guards released Zhu Shou...
Biquge
