Crown Prince Zhu Youkai sat next to Zhu Jianshen, staring at the old men below with his little eyes, turning his head from time to time to glance at his father sitting next to him.
In his opinion, these little old men are so interesting.
You scold me, I will reply to you, as if my voice is not loud and I can't speak.
I couldn't understand what they were saying, but I found it very interesting.
As for the officials below, the lowest one was fourth grade, there were more than 30 people, almost all the officials from the six corps, the fifth military governor's office, and the various divisions of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were present.
Under the special background that His Majesty the Emperor wants to send troops overseas, if these people don't get together, nothing will happen. But once they get together, one will look down on the other, and the other will look down on the other, and they will talk with sticks.
Among these people, the one who was targeted the most was Xu Youzhen, who was standing next to Li Xian.
Xu Youzhen and Li Xian are about six or seven years old, but they seem to be two generations apart. Xu Youzhen is still fair and fat. If it weren't for the beard on her mouth, she would look like a eunuch.
Li Xian, who is just in his early sixties, is extremely thin, his skin has become saggy, his hair is gray, his back is curved, and his steps are unsteady, which makes people feel old.
Because Li Xian could no longer stand for long periods of time, he was the only one among the more than thirty officials who sat down.
It seems that the political tacit understanding has been broken, all the previously hidden conflicts have exploded, and the Xu-Li party struggle has been brought to the surface.
For the emperor Zhu Jianshen, this was a sequelae of insisting on sending troops to Ryukyu.
Although the party struggle at this time has not yet touched Zhu Jianshen's bottom line, their fight was limited to the court, and the local area was not involved. Moreover, they did not make mistakes on major issues, but were limited to trivial matters. Back and forth.
However, Zhu Jianshen understood that if the development continued for a long time, there would be big problems. He summoned officials to come to Qianqing Palace today to discuss matters, and he also wanted to take this opportunity to give the two people a good beating.
It's okay for you two to have different opinions, but it's not okay for you to lead my employees into cliques.
Nowadays, most officials only do three things every day, eat, sleep, and curse.
The Yanguan who followed Xu Youzhen scolded Li Xian, and more Yanguan chose to scold Xu Youzhen. There were also officials close to Li Xian who were also the main force in impeaching Xu Youzhen.
Because Xu Youzhen supported His Majesty the Emperor's decision, he was impeached by many officials from the beginning. However, the impeachment memorial was the same as the memorial advising the Emperor not to send troops, and there was no response at all.
Just now, Li Xian and Xu Youzhen were quarreling. There was no winner between the two, but Li Xian slowly fell behind during the fierce debate because of his health. At this time, Han Yong also saw that Li Xian was losing because of his health. , somewhat late for the trip, he immediately took over the conversation, looked at Xu Youzhen, and said coldly: "Is it just talk when Emperor Taizu Gao said that a country will not be conquered? As the censor of Zuodu, do you have any advice? It is your duty to admonish His Majesty the Emperor, but at this moment, you are just flattering and catering..."
Xu Youzhen replied equally forcefully: "Taizu also said that North Korea and Annan are countries that cannot be conquered. Now North Korea and Annan are not included in our territory of the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Taizongwen had already conquered Annan. Do you think Emperor Taizongwen was wrong? Really? And if I remember correctly, it was you who led the troops to fight against Annan. Why didn’t you say that there is no country to conquer?"
"Sophistry, you are making sophistry. Annan is bordered by our Ming Dynasty land, and it was already our territory during the Han Dynasty. Korea was suffering from internal strife due to its own internal strife, and the people suffered and it was difficult for the common people to survive. Only then did the Ming Dynasty bring in the army of kings. How can Korea and Japan be compared with it? Moreover, I am clearly talking about Emperor Taizong Gao's country without conquests. Why do you insist on talking about Emperor Taizongwen..."
"Why, Emperor Taizu Gao can say it, but I, Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty, can't say it?"
"You, you..." biquge.biz
"What are you doing? Nothing in the world is ever the same."
"The purpose of etiquette is that harmony is the most precious, this is what the sage said..."
"Humph, Han Shangshu, when you were the Pope, you said in front of many officials that the saint's words are the art of controlling people. It's fine to talk about it, but if you use it to do things, it's not enough... Are you trying to deceive me?"
After Han Yong heard Xu Youzhen's words, he couldn't suppress the urge to take action, but he glanced at the ignorant Crown Prince sitting next to His Majesty the Emperor and chose to endure it.
When teaching the Analects of Confucius, Han Yong did specifically say that it is better to have no books than to have a letter nearby. However, the only one who was around at that time was Zhan Yang, the prince's Taibao, and many officials came there.
If His Majesty the Emperor was the only one present, he would definitely teach Xu Youzhen a lesson, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also sitting on it at this moment. If he did anything, he might scare His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
However, Han Yong still took a special look at Zhan Yang, who was standing behind Xu Youzhen.
But Zhan Yang turned his head to the other side, pretending to be distracted.
Because the Crown Prince was already very sensitive to Confucian education issues, His Majesty the Emperor immediately chose to speak.
"My dear friends, you all feel that it is unwise for me to mobilize troops to go to the Ryukyu Kingdom and send troops to the Japanese Kingdom. Why, because my Ming Dynasty has never had the experience of going to sea to fight. All my dear friends feel that this No matter how risky it is, I am well aware of what you are worried about."
"What you are thinking about is not whether it is worth fighting. What you are thinking about is what if it fails?"
"But everyone, hundreds of years from now, our Ming Dynasty's biggest enemy will not come from the north, it will not be the Mongols, but from the sea. The disaster of Japanese pirates, which brings sorrow to the Ming Dynasty and the people along the coast, must not happen again... …”
"I will spend ten or twenty years to get rid of the Japanese pirates from the root. Therefore, no matter how you argue, even if Sage Kong stands in front of me and persuades me, I will not listen to him... "
"These past few days, things in the court have been extremely unpredictable. Monsters, demons, and snakes have jumped out. It reminds me of the party disputes in past dynasties..."
"You will drink from a golden cup together, but you will not spare anyone with a bare sword... This poem by Taizu Emperor Gao has a profound meaning, a profound meaning..."
After Zhu Jianshen said his last words, a trace of fear immediately flashed through Li Xian's cloudy eyes...
His Majesty the Emperor did not raise the butcher's knife in his hand against party strife or officials, but this does not mean that he cannot lift the knife.
On the contrary, the sword in the hands of Dongchang Jinyiwei, even the army, and His Majesty the Emperor is very sharp...
