Chapter 144

Both sides are coming and going, and the battle has reached a fever pitch.

Zhu Qizhen sat firmly on the high platform, secretly amused in his heart.

It seems that Tang Xinggu hit the pain points of these people, so that those courtiers who used to look safe and secure, as if they were stepped on the tail, completely disregarded their face and screamed.

Facing the crowd's attack, Tang Xinggu seemed so alone and alone. Finally, Peng Qing and Beilin couldn't stand it anymore and stood up at the same time.

"Chen Peng Qing supports Tang Yushi's proposal!"

"Chen Beilin seconded!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Fu, Chen Ying, Li Zhen and others stepped forward and said, "The minister seconded the proposal!"

They have endured it for a long time, if Zhu Qizhen on the dragon chair hadn't been giving these few winks, he would have stood up from the very beginning.

The reason why Zhu Qizhen did not notify them in advance was that he was worried about further triggering the confrontation between North Korea, Chinese and military.

Most of the military commanders in the hall are their cronies. If they propose opening the sea, it will arouse the opposition of the Wenchen Group, and the future situation will be very unfavorable.

Therefore, Zhu Qizhen is looking for Qin Tianjian Peng Qing and Bei Lin.

Tang Xinggu's performance today was a complete surprise. The fighting power of the censor Yanguan is not in vain. After a set of combined punches, those civil servants were directly impatient.

Next, it's time to show up.

Zhu Qizhen cleared his throat and was about to speak, but an incredible scene happened.

"Chen Lu Xiang supports Tang Yushi's proposal!"

"Chen Li Shulin seconded the proposal!"

"Minister Zhou Hongmolin seconded the proposal!"

"Minister Zhang Ying seconded the proposal!"

"The minister Liu Sui seconded the proposal!"

……

……

Among the ministers, more than a dozen people stood up one after another, expressing their support one after another.

Some of these people are from the coast and some from the interior, and they all have a common feature, most of them are newly promoted Hanlin.

They have just stepped into the imperial court, and they know that they are soft-spoken, and they are well-behaved on weekdays, and they seldom become leaders.

But today, he dared to stand up and confront those elders who have lived in court for a long time, even his immediate superiors.

Zhu Qizhen is very sure that these people are not babysitters he found.

That is to say, in fact, above the temple, there are quite a few people, especially these young officials, who did not disregard the Ming Dynasty and the people of the world for their own selfish desires.

In this way, he became more determined to open the sea.

The Forbidden Sea Faction headed by Wang Wen and Xu Bin also changed their faces. They seem to realize that today's matter may not be that simple.

Finally, in full view of everyone, a person slowly stood up.

This person is Gao Zhu, a scholar of Dongge University, the official worship minister of the Ministry of punishment, and the prince and Taifu.

The current cabinet is composed of Cao Nai, Gao Zhu, Zhang Yi, and Yu Qian. Yu Qian just went to Huai'an Mansion and was not there. Did not speak.

Gao Zhu's face sank like water, and he said slowly: "Qizou the emperor, I think the court should focus on how to manage Mobei and open the sea, the time is not yet ripe."

Wang Wen immediately followed up and said: "I think Gao Shangshu's words are very reasonable. A lot of manpower and material resources have been spent on opening up the desert and relocating the people. If the sea ban is lifted now, a large number of sea ships will be built and Japanese guards will be trained. The imperial court really can't afford it. Qian Liang, please think again, Your Majesty!"

Gao Zhu's statement undoubtedly reassured the Banhai school, and they immediately echoed, talking about the disadvantages of opening the sea.

It's just that Wang Zuo, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, glanced at him with resentful eyes, and thought, what does the matter of money and food have to do with the Procuratorate...

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Just as everyone was talking, they heard a burst of laughter from the crowd.

Gao Zhu frowned, turned his head to look, it was Tang Xinggu.

Immediately, his face darkened, and he asked, "Tang Yushi, what are you laughing at?"

"I'm laughing at what you adults said well, what you said is righteous and righteous, and you are upright!"

Tang Xinggu showed no fear in the face of the high-ranking cabinet scholar.

Wang Wen felt more and more dull on his face, so he stood up and said: "I have received the favor of the emperor, and I will do my best to repay you. Don't say that the old man is your superior, even if you Tang Xinggu's status is far higher than mine, but as long as you say If you say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing, we will also speak out to refute it!"

But Tang Xinggu asked back: "Master Wang, you are the censor of the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, why do you still care about the affairs of the Ministry of Households?"

"you……"

Wang Wen's old face turned red immediately, and he was choked so hard that he couldn't speak.

Tang Xinggu continued: "Since you all understand the righteousness so well, and Mr. Wang cares so much about the Ministry of Households, what's your opinion on the current shortage of money and food?"

As soon as this remark came out, the chaotic situation began to quiet down.

If you want to get money for yourself, it’s okay, but getting money for the court is a matter for the Ministry of Households. What does it have to do with us?
Wang Wen immediately retorted: "What we are discussing is the inviolability of the ancestral system, the matter of money and food?"

"My lord Wang speaks about the ancestral system, but shuts his mouth and makes the law. I would like to ask, are you really following the ancestral system?"

"That's natural!"

Wang Wen immediately replied: "I am a minister in the court, and I must follow the rules set by the emperor Taizu!"

A smile appeared on Tang Xinggu's face, and he said: "At the beginning, Emperor Taizu hated corrupt officials the most. He once made a rule that any official who embezzled more than 60 taels of silver would be stripped of his skin and used as grass! Since you all support Taizu's legalization, naturally It is very clean, so there will be no problems. Why don't you ask Jin Yiwei to visit your homes, I think you won't object, right?"

Wang Wen's face turned pale, but he was at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond.

What he thinks now is that if the emperor is inspired and really asks Jin Yiwei to search, then it will be unclear!

Not only Wang Wen, but everyone else looked at Tang Xinggu with resentment and fear.

In the eyes of these people, the ancestral system that is beneficial to them is called the ancestral system, such as embezzling 60 taels and then peeling the skin and filling it with grass, it should have been abolished long ago!

Tang Xinggu's trick is really ruthless, don't you guys like to talk about the ancestral system, well, let's talk about corruption.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Qizhen asked suddenly: "Dear dear friends, can this sea ban be opened, and should this rule be kept?"

Everyone was silent, obviously, what the emperor gave was a multiple-choice question, either you agree to open the sea, and you do what I want, and I will not make it difficult for you, or you just carry it to the end, and then don’t blame me for trouble for you!

In Fengtian Hall, the situation that had been arguing all morning suddenly froze.

Chief Assistant Cao Nai stood up and said: "I have banned the sea for more than a hundred years. Whether it is abolished or not, it must be thoroughly demonstrated by six departments and nine ministers. There is no rush. Therefore, I suggest that this matter be shelved for the time being."

Zhu Qizhen knew in his heart that in the face of such fierce opposition, being able to drag things into an impasse was considered progress.

"Well, according to what the Qing family said, whether you support Kaihai or oppose Kaihai, you should go back and think about it. What are the advantages and disadvantages of Kaihai? Next time we discuss, I want to see why Well-founded memorials, not just talking about the ancestral system!"

Recently, when I saw a 100-point reward, I panicked, because I set a 100-point fan value to speak, and every time I saw a 100-point reward, I subconsciously thought it was to spray me...
