Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 254 Parties (1)

The dazzling sun is high in the sky, the sky is blue, and there are white clouds in the sky. The warm wind blows, which makes people feel very comfortable, but nothing can hide the turbulence hidden in the dark.

cabinet.

"What happened? Why did His Highness the Fifth come to the cabinet?"

"I don't know. All the pavilion elders were called."

"Isn't this against the rules? Your Highness is trying to interfere in the government's affairs?"

"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. His Majesty the Fifth Prince is here under His Majesty's orders."

"According to His Majesty's decree?"

Outside the official office of the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet, many officials gathered around. Looking at the dozen or so eunuchs standing outside, they started talking in low voices with different expressions.

Zhu Youjian, who had not yet been knighted and became a vassal, as the younger brother of the current emperor, suddenly left the palace and joined the cabinet. This will inevitably make people think.

And this matter also quietly spread from the cabinet...

In the official room.

Han Xu, Zhu Guozuo, He Zongyan, Shen and Shi Jikai had different thoughts. They looked at Zhu Youjian leaning on the official hat chair, especially the flying fish suit, which made some people frown.

When the emperor's biological brother came to the cabinet under an imperial edict and wore a flying fish suit, this was unacceptable to civil servants.

On the other hand, Zhu Youjian, who was sitting on the official hat chair, did not look at Han Xu and the others. He was holding a knife in his hand and trimming his nails carefully.

Han Zanzhou stood beside him, looking at his nose and heart like a wooden stake.

"Your Highness, I wonder what you mean by coming to the cabinet under the imperial edict?" Han Xu frowned slightly. Seeing Zhu Youjian's delay in speaking, he took a few steps forward and raised his hands to bow.

"Are Mr. Han Ge in a hurry?"

Zhu Youjian didn't look up, continued to trim his nails, and said calmly.

"Your Highness, the Fifth Highness, the cabinet still has a lot of government affairs to deal with."

Under the gazes of Zhu Guozuo and others, Han Xu said in a calm tone: "If His Highness the Fifth Highness has anything to say, please be considerate of the ministers and others."

"It turns out that the cabinet still has government affairs."

Zhu Youjian smiled, put away the knife, and looked up at Han Xu, "I thought that without the first and second assistants, the cabinet would be in name only."

The atmosphere in the office room changed.

Han Xu, Zhu Guozuo, He Zongyan, Shen and Shi Jikai looked at me and me, showing different expressions.

This is a bit heartbreaking to say.

No matter what, the status of the cabinet is different. Even if there is something going on in the court, it is not something Zhu Youjian can say. After all, he is not the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. From now on, if he wants to be crowned, he will become a vassal, and in the Ming Dynasty, the vassal king is Those who cannot interfere in government affairs will have to leave the capital and become a vassal when they reach their age!

"Look at it all."

Glancing at the cabinet ministers in front of him, Zhu Youjian took out a memorial, slammed it on the desk in front of him, and said in a cold tone: "The Cangchang case investigated by the Integrity Commission is really shocking. I have been ordered to come to the cabinet this time. , I just want to ask you, is my Ming Dynasty’s official salary so easy to get? Is my Ming Dynasty’s imperial grain so delicious?”

Speaking of this, Zhu Youjian lifted his robe and stood up.

Han Xu and Zhu Guozuo did not move, but looked at Zhu Youjian who stood up, but their mood was different. Will the Cangchang case that caused a lot of commotion finally be found out and finalized?

"Since the end of Zhengdan and the imperial court changing its reign name, there have been so many troubles in this court."

Zhu Youjian's eyes were cold and stern, and his words were full of questions, "The two cases of Hongwan moving to the palace, the battle of Saarhu, the knocking on the Meridian Gate, the discussion of officials in the two departments and households, the national treasury is empty, and there are officials in the outer court who are in deficit, and they are driving up grain Prices, warehouse accidents, old Taicang and shipping warehouses were leaked, changes occurred in Liaozuo, and there was a wage turmoil in Baoding... There were so many things that happened."

"Every time I see the Emperor's brother handling government affairs in the Qianqing Palace late at night, I sometimes wonder, is the Emperor's brother too kind? So much so that some people feel that they want to achieve something, as long as it fails, , then it doesn’t work!?”

Is the emperor merciful?

Han Xu, Zhu Guozuo and other cabinet ministers showed different expressions when they heard what Zhu Youjian said. Since the emperor Yuji ascended the throne, he talked about nothing but the court and the capital. How many people have been imprisoned? The emperor ordered them to be arrested, and how many people were sentenced to death by the emperor's order.

"Let's talk about the Cangchang case supervised by the Institute of Integrity." Zhu Youjian ignored everyone and continued: "When the Institute of Integrity was set up, many people in the government and the public criticized it, saying that ruthless officials were in power and the world was uneasy.

Haha, how ridiculous this is!
Without the Independent Commission Against Corruption, when would the shocking Cangchang case be able to find out the truth?Is it relying on the Metropolitan Procuratorate?Or rely on Dali Temple?Or rely on the Ministry of Punishment? "

"Your Highness, what you are saying is the emperor's intention?"

Under Zhu Youjian's gaze, Han Xu frowned.

"You don't care who it is!"

Zhu Youjian showed no mercy at all and said coldly: "I am asking you now, not you. Mr. Han Ge is so majestic.

No wonder.

The emperor's brother wanted to open a port in Tianjin and open up sea trade to increase the treasury's financial resources and tax revenue. There were many critics of this matter in the DPRK. I am afraid that all this was instigated by the cabinet. "

"Your Highness! What do you mean by this?"

Han Xu argued rationally: "Tianjin Sanwei is such an important place. It is the gateway to defend the capital. Even if we want to open sea for trade, we should choose other places."

What's more, His Majesty also allowed Xiyi to dock, which will definitely have an impact on the imperial court.

What's more, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce is the foundation of our country. If everyone sees the benefits of commerce and forgets the important task of farming, won't the court fall into a passive position? "

"Who do you mean by Renren?"

Zhu Youjian narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Han Xu and said, "Don't tell me, the people of our dynasty all have free money. If that's the case, why don't the taxes of the court come up? Why is the treasury always empty?"

Han Xu was speechless for a moment.

Even though Zhu Youjian is still young and has not yet reached the age of seniority, his words are quite organized and the questions he raises are also quite tricky.

When Zhu Guozuo, He Zongyan, Shen, and Shi Jikai saw the scene in front of them, even though they had a lot to say in their hearts, they knew at this moment that it was not the time to show off.

"Why didn't you speak?"

Zhu Youjian frowned and said: "As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, I don't want to worry about the emperor or the country. If there is a problem, I don't want to think about how to solve it. As long as it involves money and food, as long as the treasury cannot come up with it, I will put my mind on it." Damn it, is this the way to be a minister?"

There are some words that Zhu Youxiao, the great emperor of tomorrow, would not be able to say because he would lose his status if he said them. But the same words would be different if another person said them.

Zhu Youjian is very suitable!
"I have come to the Cabinet here to say something."

Zhu Youjian flicked his sleeves and said, "The Integrity Institute's warehouse investigation case also involves many people. The case is not over yet. Those corrupt officials who were found will all be sentenced to death!
Don’t you want to talk about ancestral system?
OK!

The peeling and stuffing is also made by ancestors.

I believe the people in the capital would be happy to see this scene.

In addition, the emperor has decided that all corrupt officials involved in the Cangchang case of the Institute of Anti-Corruption will be recorded in the traitor record. , If you want to be greedy, you can, but as long as you are found out, don't even think about it! "

After saying that, Zhu Youjian didn't even look at Han Xu and the others, and walked out of the official room with his head held high. Han Zanzhou, who had been silent, was now chasing after Zhu Youjian.

This is going to change.

Han Xu, Zhu Guozuo, He Zongyan, Shen, and Shi Jikai stood there in a daze. No one thought that the emperor would actually create a record of traitors. This was to make those officials who were found out be nailed to shame. On the pillar.

"Back to the palace!"

Zhu Youjian walked out of the official room and saw the cabinet officials gathered around him. He didn't pay much attention and said to Han Zanzhou beside him.

"Here."

Han Zanzhou hurriedly bowed and responded.

For some reason, Zhu Youjian was in a particularly happy mood after losing his temper in the cabinet. Although he didn't show it at all on the surface, Zhu Youjian was very happy.

Maybe he can help the emperor brother. The Zhu family themselves don't care about the Zhu family's power, so why should a group of outsiders care about it?After all, these outsiders are officials only for themselves!
