Zhu Jianshen looked at the courtiers kneeling on the ground, his face was indifferent, and he could not see any likes or dislikes.
As soon as we came to court, we hadn't started talking about anything yet.
Then the head of the Ministry of Rites went to the meeting to establish the crown prince.
Later, many officials followed.
Everyone was talking and thinking in unison, and they all wanted to let the emperor issue a decree to confer the crown prince and establish the foundation of the country.
Zhu Jianshen decisively refused to deal with this unreasonable request.
It's just that the voice is louder and the attitude is firmer.
These officials became reluctant and knelt down in an attempt to prove their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.
Things happened too fast.
Before the Wu Xun team, represented by Chen Ying, could react, they saw a group of officials kneeling down. It was likely that if the emperor disagreed, they would not be able to kneel down.
And the military officers also turned their heads and looked at the civil servants kneeling on the ground. They couldn't help but marvel in their hearts. They didn't know what these people who squatted down to pee thought. At your age, your majesty wants to make him a prince. , it’s really the old lady who got into bed... and made me laugh...
And these officials who knelt down were almost all from the back rows.
The officials in front stood straight and did not speak at the beginning.
Xu Youzhen and Li Xian didn't even turn their heads to look.
For these two old foxes, these officials are just clowns when they do these things. We are bachelors and important ministers of the country. We have not expressed our opinions yet. How can the emperor listen to you if you come out to speak?
At this time, Zhu Jianshen was enduring exactly what his father had endured back then.
It's just that Zhu Jianshen is fundamentally different from Zhu Qizhen.
He separated the military and political affairs again. Chen Ying, Zhu Yong and others controlled the military defense of the capital, while Li Xian and Xu Youzhen controlled the administrative and official systems.
Jinyiwei and Dongchang also played their great role.
After Yu Qian left, Zhu Jianshen quickly gathered power and, to a certain extent, reduced the executive authority of the cabinet.
It can be said that now Zhu Jianshen has integrated the pen and the gun into his imperial power, integrating the three powers into one.
Of course, the most important thing is the difference in reputation and prestige.
Zhu Qizhen used Wang Zhen to make hundreds of officials and the people complain, and he was just kidding about military and state affairs. He was just messing around, and his reputation among the people and the officials in the capital was not good.
He is like Nezha, Sanmao, or the King Kong Calabash Baby, who seems to never grow up.
And Zhu Jianshen has established his character since he was a child. When the Supreme Emperor was still messing around, Zhu Jianshen could already sit in the Fengtian Palace and listen to politics. When the Supreme Emperor re-appointed Wang Zhen, Zhu Jianshen had already opened up territory for the Ming Dynasty.
Although he is young, his prestige is very high and his reputation is also very good.
First of all, it was a comprehensive supplement to the policy of supporting the elderly during the reign of Taizu, so that benevolent government could continue in the land of Ming Dynasty. Over the years, millions of elderly people have received favors from the imperial court. This benevolent government made ordinary people respect the emperor. Got a new understanding.
Moreover, he is kind to officials and gives out red envelopes every Chinese New Year, which are all real money. This allows many officials with low salaries and integrity to buy some nutritious ginseng and bear paw for their mothers during the Chinese New Year. Buy some candies and some clothes for your children, some jewelry, gold and silver for your hard-working wife, and some good fodder for the donkey that pulls you...
Your Majesty is sincere to his subjects and never plays tricks. This is a change from the old Zhu family's fine tradition of being stingy.
Although Zhu Jianshen was harsh on the vassals, harsh on officials, tough on foreign affairs, and often used troops, these were not bad things in the eyes of ordinary officials.
At this time, the only stain on his body was that he was arbitrary and did not listen to advice. He reused Xu Youzhen, Li Xian and others to implement the new tax system.
The beginning of this new tax system was also the beginning of Zhu Jianshen's reputation among scholars declining...
However, if you offend a bunch of people, you can feed a lot of people.
The country's soldiers can increase their military salaries, ordinary people can reduce their pressure, and officials can also live a good life.
Because of this, Zhu Jianshen didn't take it seriously at all.
The civil servant behind him knelt down.
Fengtian Palace also fell silent.
They looked at the straight man standing in front of them, and they were also very angry.
Sir, didn't you say that you want to play with your group? I've already knelt down, why didn't he kneel down? Could it be that I'm being hasty?
Zhu Jianshen had already thought about this scene.
And what they were talking about was a sensitive topic. Xu Youzhen, Li Xian and other officials standing in the front were not in a position to say anything at this time, so they had no choice but to act on their own.
"I have said that I have no plans to establish a prince now, and I have sincerely advised all my dear friends. If your dear ladies like to kneel, then just kneel."
After Zhu Jianshen finished speaking, he stood up and said, "Retreat from the court."
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and left.
Zhang Bao and others hurriedly followed the emperor and left.
Other officials knelt down to see each other off.
It is simply impossible to imitate the famous scene in the Fengtian Palace where people from the Song Dynasty would pull up their sleeves and not be allowed to leave.
You rushed towards His Majesty the Emperor in the morning, and you started burying him in the afternoon.
It was a good show after Zhu Jianshen left the Fengtian Hall. The officials who knelt down were looking for those who had promised them in advance but suddenly regretted it. They were pushing and shoving, and it was very confusing.
There were many people surrounding Li Xian and Xu Youzhen, wanting to get some affirmation and support from the two of them.
"Elder Pavilion, Yu Taibao has retired and returned to his hometown. You are the chief minister of the cabinet. We are people who speak softly, but we are dedicated to the country. We are all thinking about the Ming Dynasty. Why didn't you say anything when His Majesty was here just now."
"The crown prince is the foundation of the country. Don't you understand this, Li Shoufu?"
"Yes, why don't you speak? Are you afraid that His Majesty will be angry with you and lose your title of Grand Bachelor?"
Li Xian responded to these inquiries in an understated way: "Don't mess around. This is the Fengtian Palace. If anyone is dissatisfied, he can come to the cabinet to find me."
After Li Xian finished speaking, he shook his sleeves, pushed aside everyone and walked outside.
Most of the people surrounding Xu Youzhen said the same thing, but the results were different.
"Your Majesty's family affairs are state affairs. Censor of Xudu, why do you think we can't talk about it?"
"The foundation of the princely state is that the Supreme Emperor also established His Majesty back then."
Most of the officials who spoke were honest and traditional officials, and such people accounted for a large part of the court.
They are neither greedy nor aggressive, they just do their jobs well, and of course they are not afraid of powerful figures like Xu Youzhen and Li Xian.
"The Supreme Emperor made Your Majesty the Crown Prince because he wanted to make the Northern Expedition himself, so he made Your Majesty the Crown Prince at this age. But now that His Majesty is in good health and in his youth, you are clamoring to make His Majesty the Crown Prince. This is not something that can be done by force. ?"
"I was sick on the day of the banquet given by Your Majesty. Although it sounds a bit treacherous, there are unforeseen circumstances... ah..."
Before a middle-aged official could finish speaking, he was punched in the face by Xu Youzhen in front of him.
"If you say one more damn thing, I'll knock out your teeth..." Xu Youzhen said angrily.
As soon as Xu Youzhen took action, the situation instantly got out of control.
Although these officials are all minor officials and honest, they are not afraid of fighting, especially beating Xu Youzhen.
As soon as Xu Youzhen made a move, the person who was beaten yelled: "Xu Youzhen is beating someone in Fengtian Hall again."
When the voice shouted out, the old official quickly got out, fearing that he would be harmed.
Several young officials rushed towards Xu Youzhen, but Xu Youzhen had stood firm in the court for so many years. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing if there was a fight and he had to take action himself.
Zhan Yang and several young men from the Metropolitan Procuratorate immediately stood up and stood in front of Xu Youzhen...
Chen Ying, who had not moved all the time, laughed loudly. He looked around and saw that there was no one around him, and felt a little sad in his heart. Back then, he and Cheng Guogong explained the fight in Fengtian Palace, and Old General Guo was there to reunite. , how happy it is.
But now that Duke Cheng has been dead for many years, General Guo's health is getting worse day by day.
Chen Ying also became Ning Guogong.
Now Xu Youzhen is still fighting, but he is missing from his side. He has everything except him.
Wuxun generals also gathered around to watch the fun, but most of them were Chen Ying's subordinates, and they were not allowed to joke with Chen Ying at will.
Li Xian, who had just walked out of the door, turned around and saw the chaos in Fengtian Palace. He was very angry. Li Xian, a good-tempered and well-educated man, couldn't help but secretly cursed: Your Majesty is gone, why the hell are you still fighting? It's the day school run by Oogway... I can't help but laugh...
But Li Xian couldn't ignore it, so he could only walk in and shout: "Stop it, don't fight anymore, stop it..."
