Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 2052
Zhong Zhaodou proposed to find the handle of Zheng Huanggui Concubine in the "medicine diet case", and then forced the kingdom of the third son of the emperor Zhu Changxun to become a vassal.In this regard, Qian Menggao originally hoped to deny it with "the order of the Taizu", but he didn't even do what the Taizu said, and Zhong Zhaodou immediately rejected it.

Now, it was Qian Menggao's turn to continue to accept the move.

"Master Zhong, habits are habits, and customs are customs. However, since there is an order from the Taizu, the emperor can always invite this ancestor's precepts to be enshrined as a standard. And at least in terms of legal principles, If the emperor does this, I and other courtiers can't blame anything."

Qian Menggao was not stage-frightened, he didn't finish what he said, and continued: "The other thing is the emperor's temper... All these years, don't you all understand this? The emperor is definitely not like the former emperor Mu. Like a temple, he is not someone who will change his mind due to the power of the outer court.

Of course, when the power of the outer court is huge, it is inconvenient for the emperor to use his own power to overwhelm the officials, but he can delay.He can delay no matter what is important or important, because he is the emperor.

No matter how big the matter is, the emperor, as the supreme being in the world, can put it aside with a sentence of "This is a big matter, let me think twice".Still just doing it in a hurry.

Therefore, it is foolish to think that if you want to force the emperor to make up his mind to canonize the third son of the emperor as king with the matter of the noble concubine Zheng, and immediately ask his country to become a vassal, it is a fundamentally wrong idea-the emperor will definitely not allow it!
No matter how loud the outer court made a noise, he would just ignore it and make things stand still.And the most embarrassing thing at that time will be me waiting for the ministers of the foreign court...

Chief Constitution, Section Chief Zhong, let me just imagine: there is a violent storm in the whole court, but the emperor is still deaf to it. At this time, the outer court has nothing to do with this situation, so isn't the blow to the power of the outer court even greater? ? "

This statement is true, because in terms of the imperial power of Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yijun can indeed fulfill the above assumptions - as long as he is willing to show his shame.

It was difficult for Zhong Zhaodou to refute this time, he could only frown deeply, and pondered: "What Section Chief Qian said seems reasonable, but after all it is just a guess..."

Such a response is obviously insufficient, but as Zhong Zhaodou, he cannot say more powerful words.Therefore, Xiao Daheng on the side expressed his attitude on this matter for the first time, and he suddenly waved his hand and said: "Okay, the two section chiefs don't need to argue anymore. What the emperor will think is not something that I and other ministers should speculate on. What I should do now is also not up to me.”

The eyes of Zhong Zhaodou and Qian Menggao immediately focused on Xiao Daheng's face, but Xiao Daheng just tensed his face, and said coldly: "This is the cabinet's instruction, we just need to follow it... If you disagree, you can Go to the cabinet to argue with the princes in the cabinet."

After hearing this, Qian Menggao's face darkened, but Zhong Zhaodou raised his brows: Yes, what's the point of arguing with Qian Menggao here?What needs to be done now is the resolution of the cabinet. To put it bluntly, it is the final compromise reached by Mr. Gao Ge and Mr. Shen Ge—although it seems that Mr. Gao Ge did not compromise.

In any case, Gao Ge made such an instruction, Shen Ge did not express his objection for various reasons, and Wang Yuanfu obviously advocated strict punishment all the time, so this was a collective decision of the cabinet.

No civil servant should refuse to implement the collective resolution of the cabinet, because none of the current cabinet elders joined the cabinet according to the order of the central government. They all count as one, and all of them were promoted by the cabinet. Jurisprudence There is no controversy at all, so their collective resolutions also have credibility among scholars.

This is a very interesting phenomenon in the Ming Dynasty.As a scientific and Taoist official established to "control the big with the small", you can oppose a certain elder's views, and even more violently, you can directly initiate impeachment just because of the elder's remarks on a certain matter , However, your "control the big with the small" can only be aimed at individuals, not at the entire cabinet.

why?It is because of the court push system.

As mentioned earlier, the court recommendation system is actually a system that has been deliberately exalted in importance by the civil official group. It is used by civil officials to resist the pressure of the imperial power and endowed with great legal rationality.The logic behind this kind of jurisprudence lies in the fact that since the cabinet comes from "recommendation", it represents the entire civilian group.

What is the imperial court?The imperial court is actually a ruling group composed of "sovereign power" and "subject power".Although the monarchy is supreme, it is obvious that nothing can be done without "all ministers and officials", so the ministerial power can compete with the monarchy.

However, Ming Dynasty's monarchy was so strong that it abolished the prime minister system that represented "subject power" in the past.As a result, "subjects" had to come up with a new representative, otherwise there would be no game at all.This new "subject" representative is undoubtedly the cabinet that has developed all the way to this day.

The cabinet was originally just the "secretariat" of the emperor, but now that it has the right to represent the entire "official power", any civil servant who wants to continue messing around, even if he is an official of science and justice, can only target one person in the cabinet Oppose, but cannot object to a collective resolution of the Cabinet.

Because, to a certain extent, it is like standing on the opposite side of the entire civil official group, which is extremely bad in nature, which is equivalent to being mixed up as a "civilian traitor".

It has to be said that although Xiao Daheng had been silent before, he was a lore when he opened his mouth.As long as you are as clever as Qian Menggao, as long as you dare not object to the collective decision of the cabinet, you can only shut up obediently and obey it honestly.

Qian Menggao sighed inwardly, and thought to himself: It's a pity, it would be fine if the master and prime minister didn't express his consent, or even if he reserved his opinion - that can be explained as he didn't agree with it, he just had to reserve his opinion in order to maintain the unity of the cabinet .

It's useless to say anything now, Master... Forget it, Master has no choice.Zhao Suiyang would do everything for his son, but he actually stood by the Real School to help the evildoers, so that the master was alone in the cabinet. He really has no sense of shame, hateful, hateful!
After Xiao Daheng finished speaking, he waited for a while but did not wait for Qian Menggao to retort. Knowing that he also wanted to understand the truth, he couldn't help but snorted softly and said: "Since the two section chiefs have no objection, let's put the dispute aside for the time being." , Make concerted efforts to thoroughly investigate the 'Medicated Diet Case'.

As for how the emperor will react... Heh, the sky is falling because there is a tall man standing on top of it, that's a matter for the cabinet, but it's not my turn to be anxious, let alone talk about it, understand? "

Zhong Zhaodou immediately cupped his hands and said, "What the General Constitution said is very true. 'Zi said: If you are not in his position, you will not seek his own government. Zeng Zi said: A gentleman can't think of his position.' This is the teaching of the sages. How dare we not follow it?"

Qian Menggao's face was tense, and he started to curse in his heart.

Sing one and run on me, right?Okay, okay, you are powerful, everything you say is right, it is all taught by sages.If you want to slap me on the left cheek, I not only have to slap you on the left cheek, but I also have to lean on the right cheek.I have finally realized the difficulty of being a teacher. This is really a situation that is stronger than others, so I didn't say it even though it was reasonable.

No matter how angry Qian Menggao was, Daheng Xiao was the chief constitution after all, and he was the leader of the foreign court in this case with a clear imperial decree. Qian Menggao could only cup his hands and said expressionlessly: "Here."

Over there, Zhao Zhigao performed the Beijing official's fundraising with two sleeves, and Xiao Daheng also suppressed Qian Menggao here. The two major events of the outer court are proceeding in an orderly manner.

Gao Wushi was not idle at this time, he just got a news that the emperor had summoned King Gongsun Li Yan.

King Gongsun sounds a little fresh, but he is actually the former king of Joseon.Previously, North Korea followed Daming's suggestion to enclose three requests, and then the emperor accepted it.The imperial edict clearly states: "King Li Zan of Joseon conferred the title of King Gongsun, and granted him a temporary residence in Shenjing, and he will travel to the country after the court chooses a place for him."

That is to say, Li Yan, the former king of North Korea, was granted the title of county king in Daming, and temporarily lived in Beijing, and he had to wait for the imperial court to choose a fief for him before becoming a feudal lord.

There was no plan for Zhu Yijun to summon Li Yan today, at least the cabinet didn't know that there was a plan, so Gao Wushi didn't know what the emperor wanted to discuss when he summoned him.But I think it's either to show that I care about Li Yan who is attached, or to talk to him about the fiefdom.

If it's the former, high pragmatism naturally doesn't matter, but if it's the latter, then he feels that something is wrong with the emperor's actions. Whether it's a big deal or a small thing, he should discuss it with the cabinet anyway. Bar?

However, this is highly pragmatic and sensitive, because although Zhu Yijun did intend to discuss the fiefdom issue with Li Yan, the extent was indeed not to the extent that he had to discuss it with the cabinet.

Zhu Yijun just wanted to find out Li Yan's tone, not intending to make a decision now, let alone setting aside the cabinet, "I make my own decision."In name, Zhu Yijun was indeed just giving banquets and entertaining, and let Li Yan accompany him to the theater by the way.

Zhu Yijun didn't deliberately choose a play for Li Yan, he followed his own rhythm of listening to the play, and today happened to sing No.30 of "Huansha Ji" three times, so he asked Li Yan to follow along.

This "Huansha Ji" was originally called "Wuyue Spring and Autumn", which tells the story of Wu and Yue's struggle for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period. There are 45 stories in total.Zhu Yijun has been listening to it for a few days, and he likes it very much. Today, No. 30 is released three times, and the title is "Death Loyalty", which is also his favorite word for His Majesty the Emperor.

However, the word like is true, whether you like today's drama is another matter.

At this time, the Kunshan tune of Shuimo tune was being sung on the stage, and he sang in a pure voice: "Xiangguo, you warned me the day before yesterday that I shouldn't attack Qi. Today, if the Dazai leads an army, he will win. I will lead the six armies today and swear to be equal." country, dominating the princes, but not ashamed to kill you?"

The external voice went on to sing: "I heard that the heavens have abandoned me. I first lure you with small joys, and then I bring a catastrophe. It's just a disease of sores and scabies. Fortunately, I won it, but it's just a small joy. The more real is the disease of the heart, and it will attack in one day. , is already a catastrophe.

Yesterday I heard that the lord was sitting in the hall, and saw four people leaning against each other, and heard the sound, they scattered.It is also heard that people from the north kill people from the south, which is the image of a minister killing the king.When the country is about to perish, there must be evildoers. If the lord is enlightened, the country may be safe. "

When Li Yan heard that "the sound has gone away, it is a sign that the king has lost his audience", he wondered if he thought that there were many people in the Joseon court who advocated enclosing Daming, the smile on his face froze.Then I heard "I also heard that the people from the north killed the people from the south", and my complexion changed drastically. I thought of the North Korean party struggle at that time, after the North Korean party took control of the court...

Coincidentally, Zhu Yijun's expression also changed at this time.However, Zhu Yijun's focus is naturally different from Li Yan's. What he cares about is the whole last sentence: "I also heard that people from the north killed people from the south. It may be safe, but if you end up fainting, your body will also perish."

People from the north kill people from the south... Beichen kills Nanchen?Who is Beichen and who is Nanchen?

Zhu Yijun couldn't help thinking that Wang Jiaping, Liang Menglong, Gao Yushi, and Zhou Yong were all from the North, while Zhao Zhigao and Shen Yiguan were from the South.Beichen killed Nanchen... Could it be that Zhao Fengwei, the son of Zhao Zhigao, was impeached?
Of course, whether Zhao Fengwei is dead or alive is not what Zhu Yijun cares about, what he cares about is "this is the image of a minister killing the king".But he shook his head a little bit, it seems that this matter should not be taken care of, right?
Even if "Northern Minister" really killed Zhao Fengwei, it has nothing to do with killing the king, and these "Northern Ministers" have no motive to kill the king at all!

As for "the country is about to perish, there must be evildoers", who are the evildoers?It is impossible for these four northern ministers to be evildoers. Both Wang Jiaping and Liang Menglong are about to retire. Zhou Yong is an old man who raises his hand, and his words and deeds depend on a high-level pragmatic attitude. What kind of evildoer is he?What a joke.

As for being pragmatic... Zhu Yijun shook his head as soon as he thought about it.

Yu Shi's current reputation is indeed great, but he only has a high reputation because he is invincible and invincible. In fact, he has not committed any misconduct in any aspect.

Besides, the reason why he has such a high reputation is because he manages the finances for me and collects money from the east and west, all of which are just doing things for me.I can't just say that he is a monster because of his conscientiousness. How can there be such a reason in the world?

At this time, the net voice of "Wu Wang Fu Chai" sang again: "The old thief is so deceitful, he is a Wu evildoer. Because of my former king, I have not been punished. Now I am retreating to plan for myself. See you later!"

"Xiangguo" sang: "The former king didn't want to establish you, so I fought for him with death. The son blamed me so much, but I have contributed to you, so he gave me death. I don't regret my death, but I hate Wugong for being full of thorns. The Yue people dug out the ears of Ruzong Temple."

Zhu Yijun's expression changed again, and he thought: How can you treat meritorious ministers like this?The state of Wu should be destroyed.I should also take this as a lesson, and never have delusions in my heart, doubting loyal ministers and good generals for no reason.Pragmatism is my thigh. Not long ago, I gave him Chen Han and said, "You are the only salt and plum, and you are the boat." How can you break the trust of others?

Just as he was thinking, he heard a long sigh from Li Yan beside him. He couldn't help turning his head to look, but saw that Li Yan's eyes were red and tears filled his eyes.

Zhu Yijun's heart moved, he put away his previous thoughts, showed a gentle smile, and asked: "I see that King Gongsun has been deeply involved in the drama, so I don't know how you feel about it?"
