My Daming New Empire

Page 560

A group of little kings asked for troops to help and suppress them. The words of love are urgent, and I am deeply worried.

Over the past 15 years, the imperial court has raised countless amounts of food and grass for the army, which cost a lot of money.Now the time is ripe, I have made up my mind, and the imperial conquest will punish the foreign enemies for our Ming Dynasty, clean up the Ping Fan area, and restore the peace of our Ming Dynasty and the countries in the Northwest.This is it. "

This is a declaration of war, and it does not involve personnel arrangements, so everyone kept quiet and waited quietly for the next step.

Another eunuch held out a seven-colored jade scroll, and Wang Yan took a breath and said loudly: "I order the prince Gao Chi to be the commander-in-chief of the North Road, stationed in Jiayuguan, to raise food and grass for our army, and to go out in mid-February... ..."

Before Wang Yan finished speaking, one of the civil servants rushed out. "Your Majesty... absolutely impossible!"

The emperor issued an imperial decree, which was called "Fengtian Chengyun". This is an important moment to convey the will on behalf of the heavens, and it is an important moment related to the state system that cannot be desecrated.

Dare to make a sound at this time and destroy the decree, it is destined to be an act of disregarding one's family and life.

When Wang Yan saw the imperial decree, he was also shocked, but he didn't expect that someone would dare to interrupt him at this moment.

"There are really people who are not afraid of death..." Zhu Di, sitting high on the dragon chair, said to himself.

Looking at Liu Shun, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites who appeared, there was a sneer on his face, but he restrained himself quickly.

It's not time for him to speak out yet, but he wants to see how far these people can make trouble.

A servant of the third rank is extravagant enough to sacrifice knives.

Because of this, Zhu Di believed that they were caught off guard.

Liu Shun is too impulsive, what a dignified servant!

……Pity!

In the hall, because of Liu Shun's interruption, the suffocating calm that Wang Yan read out the imperial decree was suddenly broken, and there was an uproar in the hall.

Jian Yi couldn't help but raised his head and looked up with wide eyes.Facing him was Zhu Zhanji with his head down, above him was Zhu Gaochi who seemed to be unresponsive, and at the top was Zhu Di with a calm face.

At this moment, he finally understood why this period of time was so smooth.The emperor seemed to be patient everywhere, but before the grandson came back, he had already decided to let the grandson supervise the country.

The grandson is not the prince, but with the grandson supervising the country, the emperor is not afraid that these civil servants will make trouble out of hand.

He felt a chill in his heart, the retreat during this period was deliberately done by the emperor, in order not to back down today.

If civil servants want to make progress, they will only face the most violent blows.

Seeing that Zhu Gaochi still had some princes who hadn't fully recovered, Jian Yi made up his mind in an instant.

Although the prince is easy to control, it's not worth putting his wealth and life on it.

Although Taisun is shrewd, he lacks political experience. If he takes refuge in Taisun, he will only be reused and will not suffer any loss.

But Xia Yuanji, Minister of the Household Department, turned his head to look at Liu Shun who had jumped out and was kneeling in the hall, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes, and he lowered his head deeply.

As the chief steward of the Ming Empire, he knew very well how much the grandson had accomplished in these years.

The Beimingshan Copper Mine gave Daming a large amount of gold and copper, and overseas trade and gold and silver from Japan added countless gold and silver to Daming.

In only six or seven years, the Ming Dynasty went from being extremely short of precious metals to now being able to distribute all officials' salaries in gold and silver, which is beyond the reach of the emperor.

As for the prince, what else would he do besides explaining the scriptures and handouts with a group of literati and talking in plain English?

Although the crown prince is closer to civil servants like them, he doesn't know how to do anything. For him, the minister of the household department, he would rather have this capable grandson supervise the country.

Lu Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, looked at Liu Shun with a fierce look in his eyes, and hated him to death in his heart.

Lu Zhen is sinister and cruel. Although he is a minister of the Ministry of Rites, he does not understand the general situation and has a narrow mind.He can take the position because he knows how to figure out what he wants, and he has a good memory and strong ability to handle affairs.

For him, whether it is the crown prince supervising the country or the grandson supervising the country, it will not affect his status anyway.

However, Liu Shun is a member of his Ministry of Rites. If the grandson supervises the country, he may think that Liu Shun is his instigator.

At that time, if he was hated by his grandson, he would be too wronged.

As for Fang Bin, Minister of the Ministry of War, Zhu Zhanji had already held the handle in his hands, and he could be regarded as Zhu Zhanji's person, but Zhu Zhanji thought he was too greedy, and wanted to deal with him in the future, but he did not regard him as his own.

However, although he is afraid of Zhu Zhanji's supervision of the country, he will never oppose Zhu Zhanji's supervision of the country.If he dares to object now, he will be thrown into prison tomorrow.

As for the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, it was Gu Zuo who had just been supported. The Ministry of Industry was originally Zhu Zhanji's private land, and Wu Zhong and Song Li would not object to Zhu Zhanji's supervision of the country.

For the six ministers, personal political inclinations are only secondary. The key is to be able to do things, to be able to do things, and to be able to do things, you must first be able to be a person.

Those who really opposed Zhu Zhanji, the eunuch who supervised the country, were mainly middle- and lower-level officials, as well as those academicians from the Imperial Academy and the Hanlin Academy.

Everyone has different thoughts, but at this time, Jian Yi, who is the head of all officials, must speak.

Zhu Di didn't open his mouth because he wanted to wait for him to deal with Liu Shun first.

He took a step forward, first bowed to Zhu Di, then turned sideways to Liu Shun and said, "Issuing imperial edicts is the fundamental state of the country. Thunder, rain and dew are all God's grace, how can a villain like you interrupt it!"

When Liu Shun heard the imperial decree that His Highness the Crown Prince should go to Jiayuguan, his immediate feeling was that the Crown Prince must not be allowed to go.In order for the crown prince to take power, they have been planning for two years, and they will implement it just waiting for the emperor to go out.

Before he had time to think about it, he rushed out, but the moment he rushed out, he already regretted it.

What I regret is not rushing out, but that I shouldn't have disturbed Wang Yan to read the imperial decree.If he came out to protest after the holy decree was finished, at most he would be put in prison, but now, his life is at stake.

Kneeling on the ground, his legs were still trembling, and his mind was blank.

Hearing Jian Yi's reprimand, a wry smile appeared on his face.At this moment, no one can save him.

He raised his head slightly, looking at the bluestone steps ahead...

Now that he dies, he can still keep the whole family. If he doesn't die, the whole family will be implicated by him.

Having made up his mind, he raised his head and said, "Thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of heaven. But as a subject, you must not follow random orders. His Royal Highness is the sage heir, and he belongs to the Ming Dynasty.

If His Majesty wants to conquer in person, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must not leave the capital. This is a major event that concerns the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world.

Jian Shangshu, as a minister and speaker, should set an example for all officials and reject chaos. "

Jian Yi was trembling all over with anger, this Liu Shun knew he had committed a serious crime, but now he clings to him indiscriminately, and wants to put him on a rack to fight the emperor.

Even if he felt that it would be more beneficial for him to control the court if the prince supervised the country, he had to bite the bullet and remain neutral at this time.

Otherwise, he was a minister of the Ministry of Officials and the speaker of the court, and he was forcibly kidnapped and put on a pirate ship, which would have a greater impact on his reputation.

He wanted to refute again, but Liu Shun stood up suddenly and rushed towards him.

He was no younger than Liu Shun, he was flustered for a while, Xia Yuanji stretched out his hand and pulled him back, and returned to the queue of civil servants, allowing Liu Shun to rush over.
