Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

"Master Wang, I really don't know how to read your book?"

"It's okay to be ignorant, but you can be so confident at the same time."

"If the lower official has your mentality, I guess the promoted person will be promoted faster."

These words were so cruel that many officials around him looked slightly gloomy.

Although those words just now were spoken by Mr. Wang alone, many of them also thought the same.

This young official mocked Mr. Wang so much, didn't he mock them as well?

"Bold!"

"Shut up! You don't even see where this place is? Is it your turn to talk nonsense here?"

The rank of young officials is actually not low. At the age of thirty-something, he is already the head of the Ministry of Industry's Farm Cleaning Department.

If the rank of the sixth grade was placed in the local government, he would already be an extremely high-ranking official.

It's a pity that this is Yingtian Mansion, where officials wait to go to court before the morning court.

The officials who can appear here must be at least the sixth grade.

In other words, this young official has the lowest rank among all.

If you take any one here, he will be of higher rank, higher position, and seniority than him.

This is now, many new students are beginning to enter the more important departments of the imperial court.

A few years ago, they would not have the qualifications to enter here, let alone speak here.

Seeing that the young official was being criticized by thousands of people, many people around his age also stepped forward to confront the officials.

"Some adults just told the truth. Can't you say it?"

"Didn't Mr. Wang just say that you can't block the road? Sirs can speak, can't we?"

In the blink of an eye, the originally quiet court room suddenly became as noisy as a vegetable market.

Li Shanchang, who was originally sitting at the top, had been sleeping with his eyes closed.

He didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing at all.

Unfortunately, some things cannot be avoided.

As the head of a hundred officials, if things have reached this point, if he doesn't come out to clean up the situation,
After that, what dignity can there be?

"Ahem!" Li Shanchang covered his mouth and coughed twice.

"Okay, just say a few words and don't even look at where this place is."

Although Li Shanchang's voice was not loud, the people in the court suddenly became quiet.

Who dares not to give face to the Chief Minister of the Ming Dynasty?

However, after calming down, Mr. Wang said angrily: "Mr. Li Ge, some of the officials above our court are becoming more and more unruly. This obviously means they don't take you seriously. "

The provocation in these words was too obvious. It is estimated that Mr. Wang had no hidden intention and just said it on purpose.

The young official immediately said unconvinced: "It was clearly Mr. Wang who insulted the prince first, and I was just born to refute it. If we talk about the rules, insulting the prince in public is considered a crime of disrespect, right?"

"Shut up!" Mr. Wang roared with his beard and hair flaring: "I am talking to Mr. Chief Assistant, who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak here?"

"I really want to know, are you alone like this, or are all your new students like this, not knowing what etiquette and integrity are?"

"Master Wang's rule is to rely on the old and sell the old..."

Before the young official could finish speaking, Li Shanchang suddenly interrupted him coldly: "That's enough!"

"This is the court room. If you want to make a noise, go and make a noise outside."

Even when faced with the chief minister of the cabinet, the young officials were still undaunted: "Mr. Li Ge, unless you are a subordinate, you will not listen to Mr. Ge."

"It's really because Mr. Wang has gone too far."

"After His Royal Highness learned about the drought in Datong, he rushed to Datong for disaster relief immediately. During this period, the high-priced grain policy formulated by the prince also aroused criticism from many people."

"But to this day, facts have already proven that His Royal Highness is right."

"If His Royal Highness hadn't set such high grain prices, those grain merchants wouldn't have been able to transport grain to Datong desperately."

"To this day, you can still see many convoys transporting grain to Datong on the official road."

"Although the specific situation in Datong is still unknown, there is currently no mob rebellion."

"If Eagle King Tianxia's policy of high-priced grains was really tyranny, Datong would already be in civil unrest, and there would be no news."

"But Mr. Wang doesn't care about this and still openly criticizes the prince's decree in the court meeting. Isn't this inappropriate?"

The young official said everything he wanted to say in one breath, and then bowed deeply to Li Shanchang: "Mr. Li Ge, I've finished talking about Xiaguan."

Mr. Wang turned pale with anger and pointed at the young official with a trembling hand: "Mr. Li Ge, have you seen this? These people are simply lawless."

Even Ji Shu, who had been in the officialdom for many years, couldn't help but frown at this moment.

Neither of these two groups of people is easy to mess with.

The Lord Wang who accused His Royal Highness, although his official position was not high, was the mouthpiece of a certain faction in the court.

It seems that he is just venting his dissatisfaction, but in fact Li Shanchang understands.

These words were actually meant for him.

Li Shanchang sighed secretly in his heart: "Some people still can't understand the current situation. They really think that the current Ming Dynasty is still the same as the dynasties they experienced before."

"If we really can't continue to learn to be smarter, these people will soon disappear from the court."

The thoughts in my heart are turbulent, but they will not show up on the surface.

"I understand what you are thinking. To put it bluntly, in fact, everyone is doing it for the imperial court, but there are some things that cannot be explained clearly in a few words."

"Your Majesty has already made it clear that regarding the drought in Datong, it all depends on the outcome. Mr. Wang, please stop talking."

"And you." Bi Shuu nodded at the young official and said, "In any case, Mr. Wang is your superior officer after all. It is wrong for you to publicly refute your superior officer on such an occasion. Please apologize to Mr. Wang immediately."

After hearing your command, the young official immediately bowed deeply to Mr. Wang and said, "Sir Wang, I am young and energetic. Please have a lot of money and don't care about me like this."

"Humph, knowing that you are young, you should read more and listen less. Being an official is not as simple as you think."

Although Mr. Wang felt very unhappy, he did not dare not to give Li Shan face.

He snorted disdainfully, but didn't say anything more.

After this small conflict ended, the court room fell into silence again.

Li Shanchang sighed secretly.

This is not the first time this has happened. There has been a conflict at almost every court meeting this month.

Although it was nominally for the imperial court, it was actually a competition between new learning and old learning.

The new students have now begun to gradually show their prominence in the court.

However, it was the traditional literati and officials who really controlled the court.

Traditional bureaucrats, of course, are not willing to give up their power easily.If it weren't for the prestige of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han, they could suppress all opposition voices on the playground.

This kind of fight would never be so civilized.

Li Shanchang himself is a member of this class. He knows very well how far these people can go for the rights in their hands.

This is not the first time in history that a change of dynasty has occurred.

However, there isn't much he can do now.

Because Li Shanchang knew very well how powerful King Zhu Han was, if he had to find someone who could be compared with Zhu Han.

From ancient times to the present, Li Shanchang felt that there was only one Zhuge Wuhou.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of fight would have ended here, and then they could wait for the court meeting to begin with peace of mind.

Traditional bureaucrats are smart people who know where to fight and where not to fight.

Once in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, they will put away all their minions and become as well-behaved as kittens.

After all, if Zhu Yuanzhang is ruthless, he really dares to kill people.

But strangely enough, even though we waited and waited, the drums of the court meeting were not heard.

As time goes by, the sun has begun to rise, but there still seems to be no sign of the morning morning starting.

Many officials cast their eyes on Li Shanchang's face.

The meaning is obvious, Mr. Chief Assistant, what is going on?
Li Shanchang wanted to say: "Don't look at me, I don't know anything."

But as the chief minister of the cabinet, Li Shanchang must not say these things.

Although he was extremely strange in his heart, based on his understanding of Zhu Yuanzhang, even if he was seriously ill, as long as he was not too sick to get up, there was absolutely no way Zhu Yuanzhang could easily stop his morning court.

If Zhu Yuanzhang is really so seriously ill, it is absolutely impossible to hide this kind of thing.

No matter how Li Shanchang thought about it, he still couldn't figure out what was going on today.

"Wait." Li Shanchang said calmly.

There was no expression on his face, as if everything was under control.

However, in fact, even though he is better than Shan Chang, he is also feeling panicked now.

Because he didn't know anything, he didn't understand what happened in the palace, which made Zhu Yuanzhang delay even going to court.

This is the first time this has happened since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

"I hope nothing big happens." You are good at thinking to yourself.

Although he was also a traditional scholar-official, he was actually a little disgusted with some of the policies of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Han.

But at the same time, you are good at people like them, and you can join the rebel army in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty because they actually still have faith in their hearts.

The great name established by Zhu Yuanzhang has now put the people of the Han family at the top of the world.

If something goes wrong now, it could all come to naught.

This is what Li Shanchang and others don't want to happen.

What Li Shanchang and the others didn't know was that the palace was already in chaos at this time.

When they woke up early in the morning, the palace maids and eunuchs were doing their jobs as usual.

But gradually, the maids and eunuchs responsible for the daily life of Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma gradually realized that something was wrong.

At this time in the past, they had already started cleaning and serving.

But today, there is indeed no news.

Serving the emperor and queen is not an easy task.

Although these people were close to Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, they could not enter their palaces anytime and anywhere.

If one enters the palace of Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma without being summoned, it would be tantamount to rebellion.

Not only are they unable to survive, but their families may also be affected.

So even if they sense that something is wrong, no one dares to do anything without permission.

Finally, Yang Zhi, the general manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, slowly came to Zhu Yuanzhang's palace with the support of the young eunuch.

He knelt down in front of the palace gate and said, "Slave Yang Zhi, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, begging to see you."

After saying it three times, the main door of Zhu Yuanzhang's palace slowly opened a small crack.

An eunuch who was close to Zhu Yuanzhang waved to Yang Zhi and whispered: "Eunuch Yang, please come forward. Xiao Ren has something to tell you."

Yang Zhi did not dare to neglect, and walked over hurriedly and cautiously. But just when he came to the door, when he heard the person inside said something, Yang Zhi's expression suddenly changed, and he nodded hurriedly to show that he understood.

After the two people finished speaking, Yang Zhi carefully retreated and left Zhu Yuanzhang's palace. He called a young eunuch over and gave low-level instructions.

The little eunuch's face became ugly, and then he nodded, turned around and went out.

This scene made the surrounding palace maids and eunuchs more and more confused.

However, they can survive in the palace and understand the rules here.

Don't ask if you shouldn't ask.

Don't say anything that you shouldn't say.

You shouldn't listen to yourself.

Anyway, no matter what happened, it had little to do with minions like them.

Soon they pretended that nothing happened and continued to go about their business.

If there is really nothing to do, go back to your room, shut yourself in, and never step out of the door.

In the palace, consciousness fell into a strange silence.

On the surface it looked calm, as if nothing had happened.

But only those who are inside can discover that the current palace is already full of undercurrents.

But for most people here, the mountain-like depression makes it almost impossible to breathe.

Not long after, Kingo's left guard, Habayashi's left guard, and Fujun guard of the thirteen guards in the capital.They all moved and began to slowly gather towards the imperial city.

At the same time, another army rushed to the gate of the imperial city clearly and quickly.

If there had not been advance notice, such an army in the Imperial City might have been directly regarded as rebels.
Although it was still early in the morning, there were already many people on the street.

When he saw this army, he immediately exclaimed.

"Qinghe Army, my God, it's Qinghe Army."

"Why did they enter the city? And judging from the direction they went, it seemed to be the direction of the palace. Could something have happened?"

The companion next to him directly picked him up and left: "Does anything have anything to do with you? Leave quickly, don't mess around, be careful of your head falling on the ground."
