I want to be a grandson

Chapter 571 Oppose?The traitorous minister!
"I will pay my respects to Your Majesty, Your Majesty's congratulations!"

In Benren Hall, Zhu Yunxi walked in, and the courtiers saluted immediately.

"Forget it, get flat."

Walking to the chair next to the superior, Wang Zhong immediately came over and untied the cloak on him and took it off.

"Sit down and talk!"

Sitting on the chair and beckoning, let the courtiers take their seats, Zhu Yunxi said: "I called everyone here today because Zhang Fu is back, and I brought something back for me. Let's discuss it today, Zhang Fu. Let me tell you!"

At this time, everyone knew that the cause of the incident was Zhang Fu, so they all turned their eyes to him.

As soon as Zhang Fu entered the hall, they felt that something was wrong, but they didn't ask any more questions, but judging from his expression, they knew that something was wrong!
Zhang Fu blushed, and stood up groaningly. It was extremely difficult to tell the story of leading the troops to Xiaoliuqiu for the first time, but now it is extremely embarrassing for him to say it in front of the six ministers. ...

He also knew that he was at fault, so he didn't dare to disobey, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Before I was ordered to set up the Penghu Guard..."

After he finished speaking, the Bunren Hall was quiet, like a quiet valley in the early morning.

Leading the Ming army to fight Xiaoliuqiu?
No, to be more precise, destroy them!
This... this is simply absurd!
Ru Yu, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, got up suddenly and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that this kind of behavior is really against the military system of the Ming Dynasty!
Then the court should first make a negotiation and let them return the people, how can they be good at using weapons!And... moreover, the Little Liuqiu Kingdom was captured! "

Lian Zining, the deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Zhang Fu. He has led the army to fight for the imperial order without the imperial court's order.
If everyone wants to be like him, who can mobilize soldiers and horses at will and fight at will, then Da Ming's military system will be ruined by him! "

Jing Qing also got up and said, "I seconded the proposal! The imperial court has its rules, and the army also has its own rules. The troops led by Zhang Fu are for the establishment of the Penghu Guard, and he is not allowed to fight other countries!
Although Zhang Fu is eager to save people, he can indeed disregard the imperial government's orders. His actions must be prosecuted and impeached by the officials! "

Ren Hengtai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, said worriedly, "Your Majesty, my lords, it was his fault to deploy troops without authorization, but the crux of the problem is that Zhang Fu actually led the troops to occupy Xiaoliuqiu.
My Ming Dynasty has always treated vassals with benevolence and virtue, and never used swords, let alone bullying the weak. His Majesty sent a mission to the western countries. If this news spread... what will the Atlantic countries think?Which other country dares to make friends with Ming Dynasty?

At that time, everyone will be afraid, and it will really damage the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. This is the most important thing!So Wei Chen felt that this matter should be strictly investigated!The benevolence of Daming must not be damaged! "

Yang Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, also nodded and said yes, "Mobilizing troops without orders, starting a war without authorization, violating the national policy of the Ming Dynasty, and making the vassal fearful... I think this matter should be severely punished!"

Zhang Fu knelt on the ground. He knew that he would be impeached and blamed by the courtiers. Hearing these words, his heart sank to the bottom...

If I really want to live up to the crimes they said, then I must change my head...

Qu Tao frowned, he didn't expect these courtiers to attack so mercilessly, this is the rhythm of putting people to death!
So he immediately said: "Your Majesty, I think what your lords said is a bit alarmist!"

Scanning the crowd, he said righteously: "My lords, you keep talking about Zhang Fu's fault, but have you ever thought about those Ming people who were captured by Japanese pirates and Xiaoliuqiu tribes? life or death?

As far as I know, Xiaoliuqiu Island is huge, equivalent to four or five state capitals, and there are various tribes living on the island. Some of them have to cooperate with Japanese pirates in order to survive.

The people they plundered were treated like cattle and sheep slaves, and the women they plundered would be raped and killed by them, and there were tribes on the island who ate people..."

Having said that, he glanced at Zhang Fu who was kneeling on the ground, and continued: "Of course Zhang Fu can make people hurry up and send the news back to the court for the court and His Majesty to make a decision. In this way, he will be taken out. Not only is there no fault but merit ...

You adults can also discuss it for three days and three nights, and then write an eloquent document and send it to Xiaoliuqiu.
But what about those people?I don't know how many times I was tortured to death!How many lives are left!My lords only care about the rules, but disregard human lives, I think it is not advisable! "

"Not bad!"

Sheng Yong also stood up abruptly, and said: "Zhang Fu is all about saving the people, what's wrong with that?! Only black-hearted people will ignore the people!

If you want me to say that Zhang Fu is not only innocent but has merit, Xiaoliuqiu dared to collude with the Japanese pirates, and even dared to harass Daming, and they deserved to be wiped out! "

As generals, they certainly knew that Zhang Fu was at fault, but seeing him being impeached by the civil officials, they immediately felt the same hatred against the enemy!
My little brother, how can you let your civil servants bully you?

Geng Rui also got up and saluted: "Your Majesty, I also felt that what the two generals said was true. Xiaoliuqiu was originally a barbaric land, uneducated, and the methods were cruel and inhumane.
Under the circumstances at that time, Zhang Fu did not have time to ask the court for orders, and the minister thought that his feelings could be forgiven. "

"absurd!"

Ru Yu, Minister of the Ministry of War, said displeasedly: "No matter what the facts are, Zhang Fu did not report to the court in time, and there was no order from the Ministry of War. This is an indisputable fact! No matter what you say, you can't cover it up!"

Qu Tao retorted: "It's true that there are rules, but you have to look at them in detail. Others have already hit the door, so you can't just wait for your Ministry of War to nod for everything!"

"The imperial court has its own laws, and the military has its own rules that no one can violate!"

"The rules you are talking about are the rules of the imperial court or the rules of your military department? The imperial court puts the people of Liming and the majesty of the court at the top of the list. Your military department...don't know what is important, but I have seen it, my lord. What a great authority..."

"Presumptuous! Motobutang has a clear conscience!"

"It's hard to say! Charging for fame and reputation is what you are good at..."

"Your Majesty..." Fu Youwen, the servant of the household department, stood up and wanted to speak.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Zhu Yunxi reached out and knocked on the table, frowned and said, "Why are you arguing! They're all officials from the Sixth Ministry, generals in the army, why don't they even lose face when they quarrel?
Just discuss the matter, don't talk about those messes! "

"Yes, I have found guilty, please punish me..."

Under the emperor's scolding, no one dared to say anything more, and hurriedly apologized.

Zhu Yunxi flicked his sleeves impatiently, turned to Li Fu and said to Li Fu, "Here is the lunch, let them eat quickly, and discuss after eating!"

"Yes, slaves obey."

Li Fu immediately called the little eunuch to bring bowls of broth, and the aroma could be smelled before the soup entered the mouth.

With a "grunt", someone's stomach was not up to the mark and made a sound of hunger.

The sound seemed to turn on the switch, and then I heard several grunts... Several courtiers suddenly showed embarrassment...

The courtiers of the six departments had been waiting outside the palace gate early in the morning. They had been arguing for a long time in the morning because of the cumbersome matters of the six departments' expenses at the end of the year, and they were already thirsty and hungry.

Later, they were left behind to wait for so long, and they continued to quarrel...

The breakfast that I ate in a hurry in the morning has long been consumed!

So the broth came up with a piece of sesame seed cakes. At this time, no one cared about the quarrel, and it was loud after eating it!
If it weren't for the scruples that they couldn't lose their manners in front of His Majesty, they would all be able to make the sound of a sow's trough!

The broth in the palace is delicious, and it uses a lot of ingredients. The big pieces of meat are piled up in a bowl, and everyone eats a few bowls without knowing it, making their belly round...

After a while, when they were full, the little eunuch also put away the bowls and chopsticks, and everyone showed a satisfied look on their faces.

Seeing that everyone had finished eating, Zhu Yunxi took a sip of tea from the teacup, moistened his throat and said, "Leave the matter of Zhang Fu aside, let's discuss how to deal with Xiaoliuqiu first."

"Should I withdraw the troops and return, or merge into the Ming Dynasty..."

"Cough cough..."

"Uh, hiss..."

"Well, ahem..."

This time everyone was shocked!

I'm afraid that if there is food in my mouth at this time, I will definitely spit it out!
Your Majesty, this is...

The meaning is very clear!

Is it still necessary to discuss if the troops are withdrawn?

Those Japanese pirate tribes were defeated, and the common people were taken back. According to the normal process, they should return to the army at this time.

Looking at the emperor's expression and seeing him staring at the courtiers with scorching eyes, everyone couldn't help feeling tense.

Especially on the civil servant side, no one dared to answer the question!
Qu Tao understood Zhu Yunxi's meaning, and immediately saluted: "Your Majesty, I think that Xiaoliuqiu should be included in the territory of Ming Dynasty and become a prefecture of Ming Dynasty, so that the emperor's grace will cover this place, and we will share the grace of Ming Dynasty!"

Ren Hengtai, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, became anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly got up and said: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible, Little Liuqiu..."

"Why not!"

Qu Tao said without waiting for him to finish speaking: "Ren Butang, is Xiaoliuqiu a country? Can it be called a country?"

"Isn't it? Why can't it be called?" Ren Hengtai didn't react for a while.

"Ren Butang, my lords, Little Liuqiu has no king, no political power, and no unifying order, so it is called a country, but it is simply a barren land!"

Qu Tao said: "Moreover, the people on Xiaoliuqiu Island are also the people of our Han family! They came from our Central Plains by boat and sailed to the sea. After all, they are all descendants of Yan and Huang, and belong to the same line as the people of our Han family!
Now that I, Ming Dynasty, are showing kindness, I also implore Your Majesty to bestow the grace of heaven so that the people living in outer islands can return to their homeland and recognize their ancestors. This is a great deed! "

"Uh……"

When he said that, Ren Hengtai was really speechless!

Because according to blood, even the Huns, Mongolia, Jurchen and other tribes are from the Central Plains!
What Qu Tao said was high-sounding, Ren Hengtai really couldn't refute it, otherwise it would be distorting the facts, and he couldn't do such a thing!

Qu Tao went on to say: "And since ancient times, the homeland of the Central Plains has been closely connected with Xiaoliuqiu. During the Three Kingdoms period, King Wu Sun Quan sent generals Wei Wen and Zhuge Zhi to arrive with a fleet consisting of more than 30 soldiers and more than [-] ships. Yizhou,
Bring back thousands of people, make them return to the Central Plains, no longer far away from their hometown..."

Ren Hengtai's face was so ashamed that he couldn't bear to look directly...

Other courtiers also frequently looked sideways...

It is true that he brought back thousands of people, but it is clearly the population that Sun Quan looted...

Regardless of these, Qu Tao continued to preach: "During the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty sent Zhu Kuan, Chen Leng and others to Liuqiu three times...

However, the Han people still opened up Penghu and brought the things and production technology of the Central Plains Dynasty to Xiaoliuqiu, which shows that Xiaoliuqiu has always been influenced by us..."

"The Yuan Dynasty further strengthened the management of Xiaoliuqiu. It once sent personnel to Taiwan to promulgate, and set up the Penghu Inspection Department in Penghu, which was affiliated to Tong'an County, Quanzhou Road, Fujian Province...

Therefore, according to history, Xiaoliuqiu was originally the land of our Central Plains Dynasty, but because there is a strait separating the two, the transportation between the two is not good, so it is inconvenient to govern, and no government has been set up! "

"Today, we have a well-organized navy, and it is easy and convenient for a large ship to cross the strait! It is the best time to bring Little Liuqiu into our territory, educate the people, and open up their wisdom!"

As he said that, he knelt down on the ground with a plop, kowtowed to Zhu Yunxi and saluted, "Your Majesty, the people of the Han family, but the people of Xiaoliuqiu lack clothing and food, and lack education.

As a result, countless people die of cold and starvation every year, and the bones of the dead are numerous due to mutual hatred...

I implore Your Majesty to forgive their mistakes, and send officials to govern the area to relieve the suffering of the people.

Weichen believes that the local people must eat the pot of pulp to welcome the master!You must look north and worship to thank His Majesty for your grace! "

At this time, Zhu Yunxi's face was a little moved, and he couldn't bear to say: "Is the life of the local people so hard?"

After asking this question, the hall officials of the Six Departments looked at each other...

Shaking his head, feeling deeply helpless...

Everything goes without saying.

Having said all of this, whoever opposes it will be merciless and disregarding the life and death of the people.
If it is serious, it will even be labeled as harming the people and obstructing His Majesty's benevolent government... This is definitely a treacherous minister!

After getting Qu Tao's affirmative answer, Zhu Yunxi fixed his eyes on Tie Xuan again...

Tie Xuan felt bitter in his heart, because he couldn't hide even if he wanted to, so he had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty, my Central Plains Dynasty has a long history with Little Liuqiu, and the residents on the island are all people from my Han family. I really can't bear it...

I implore Your Majesty to issue an order to send competent officials to govern the local people to relieve their suffering..."

"Yeah." Zhu Yunxi nodded and hummed lightly, obviously agreeing with what he said, and then turned his attention to Qi Tai.

Of course Qi Tai understood what this meant, "Your Majesty, I second the proposal, and I feel that we should divide the prefectures and counties as soon as possible and send officials..."
