Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 409 The court needs balance

Lin Cunde did not give Chen Xun face. Chen Xun said that he hoped to let them go, but Lin Cunde would not be fooled. He could not make the decision in this matter!

When Chen Xun, Gao Gu, and the ministers learned about it, they were helpless. Lin Cunde was just talking about the situation and didn't trust them at all!

"Marquis Luling, I hope you can let us go in this matter. What we did with the vassal king this time is indeed aimed at you! We were wrong about this matter, so please show your respect!" Gao Gu looked at Lin Cunde again He said with his hands raised.

"Hey, you always say that I let you go, how can I let you go? I said, your life, death and future are not decided by me. You should go to His Majesty. Why, don't you understand?" Lin Cunde looked at them helplessly, why couldn't they understand human speech!

Besides, why should I let them go?

"Marquis of Luling, can you go to your study and tell me, I have something to say to you!" Chen Xun asked, staring at Lin Cunde.

"Forget it, I'm not interested, and I have nothing to discuss with you. If you have anything to say, if you feel you can say it, just say it here. If you can't say it, then don't say it. It's so late. Everyone is tired too!" Lin Cunde stared at Chen Xun and said!

After hearing this, Chen Xun looked at Lin Cunde, feeling very sad in his heart!

"Shou Ming, I still want to talk to you alone about this matter. I hope you can spare half a quarter of an hour!" Chen Xun still wanted to fight for it. After all, many ministers here are his own!

If there is really a punishment, the ministers here will basically be implicated, and they will definitely blame themselves, and even say that they will not hesitate to add insult to injury to themselves!

How could he not know who his subordinates are?

Lin Cunde looked at Chen Xun, and Chen Xun also looked at Lin Cunde with a lonely expression!

Chen Xun looked very bad. He hadn't had a good rest during this period, and he hadn't slept much since last night. He even took a nap today at Lin Cunde's house!

But Chen Xun is older and doesn’t have that much sleep time!

But looking at Chen Xun's face now, it was so bad that Lin Cunde was worried whether Chen Xun could survive the Spring Festival like this!

"Well, Mr. Chen Ge, you look very bad. I think you should go home and rest and see a doctor. This is better!" Lin Cunde looked at Chen Xun and said.

Chen Xun smiled bitterly after hearing this, and then looked at Lin Cunde pleadingly!

"Okay, just half a quarter of an hour. I'm done. Go back quickly!" Seeing him like this, Lin Cunde didn't want anything to happen to him in his house. Although his death would have no impact on him, on the first day of the new year, something happened to his family. Such a thing is inappropriate!

Although His Majesty punished us, His Majesty was able to govern well, but in the past two years, the court is expected to be even more chaotic!

Jiang Yuan is of the same faction, Wang Wen is of the same faction, and Yu Qian is also of the same faction!

When the three factions compete, the court will be even more chaotic!

Moreover, these three factions are all relied upon by Your Majesty. Who would it be appropriate for Your Majesty to get rid of when the time comes?

What's more, the three factions have now been formed. Yu Qian has control of the Ministry of War, and he also has control over some civil servants!

We also know that His Majesty will punish us this time, but I still hope that Your Majesty will not punish us, because if we fall, the court will lose balance. Although Wang Wen and others support His Majesty, but one In such a large court, different voices need to be heard!

Moreover, we are here and can always keep an eye on Wang Wen and the others. Although they support His Majesty, they may not be honest or good officials!

Now they are honest and good officials, but without us, they will become bad!

Therefore, I also ask the Marquis of Luling to persuade His Majesty not to punish us too harshly!

For His Majesty, he hopes that the court can achieve a balance between civil and military affairs, and he also hopes for a balance among civil servants!

The generals are all closely united, and they don't have so many things to do!

Now there are only two factions in the court. If we are removed, the court will immediately be divided into three factions!

Before Chen Xun could finish speaking, Lin Cunde waved his hand and interrupted, saying: "Just talk about the matter. Don't talk about anything else. It's meaningless!"

But for civil servants, they will fight for any power, so I hope your Majesty can seriously consider this issue!

Lin Cunde had no choice but to find a way to send those people back!

Lin Cunde got up and went to the study. Chen Xun took Gao Gu and Shang Ren to Lin Cunde's study!

After hearing this, Chen Xun nodded and said: "I know that if we do this this time, your majesty and the marquis will be very angry, but we have nothing to do. Moreover, if something like this happens to us this time, Wang Wen and others will People are also adding insult to injury now. The cabinet has received many memorials to impeach us!

After Lin Cunde sat down, he said to Chen Xun and the others: "It's too late, so we won't drink tea. You should go back and rest early! If anything happens, just tell me. Your Majesty knew that you were in my house before you came back." , I don’t want to come to see you, but you are in my house, and I can’t do it without you!”

"You have caused trouble to the Marquis. Recently, I have also been reflecting on those things."

Jiang Yuan has been in charge of the Ministry of Industry for many years, and is now also in the Ministry of Household Affairs. The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works will soon fall into his hands!

Wang Wen is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and also has influence on the Ministry of Punishment!

Among the six departments, the official department is currently neutral. However, Xie Yonghe is from the official department and will still follow Jiang Yuan!

The Ministry of Rites is now Hu Ying. Once Hu Ying falls, he will probably join Jiang Yuan! Therefore, when Jiang Yuan becomes the sole leader of the family, his power will far exceed that of all ministers, even me!

And after I fall, Jiang Yuan will probably serve as the chief minister of the cabinet!

But no matter from which aspect, Jiang Yuan does not have the ability to serve as the chief minister of the cabinet!

If ability and power do not match, something big will happen!

This time we were wrong, we just wanted to win over you and hope to be able to share His Majesty's power!

But His Majesty doesn't trust us, he only trusts Yu Qian and the others!

Then we must fight for it!

It's just that we lost this time. We won't compete like this in the future. We will compete with Jiang Yuan in the future!

If we were still here, Jiang Yuan and the others would be united, and Wang Wen and Yu Qian would have more influence on the officials below than Jiang Yuan!

In this way, Jiang Yuan will not be able to control all the power of this faction!

We are here and can restrain Jiang Yuan!

Moreover, what His Majesty and the Marquis of Luling are worried about is that we will continue to prevent the implementation of the New Deal!

Now those vassal kings probably don’t dare to continue to stop it. If we continue to stop it, we are looking for death!

Therefore, there is no need to worry about this matter. Few of the ministers outside are corrupt officials. They are just following me. I have tricked them this time. Lord Marquis, please give us a chance this time! "Chen Xun stood there and said with his hands raised to Lin Cunde!

At this moment, Gao Gu also raised his hands to Lin Cunde and said: "Master Marquis, we were wrong this time. We admit that we can pay the price for this, but if we are really kicked out of the court, it may not be a good thing for His Majesty." This may not be a good thing for you, Lord Marquis!"

After hearing this, Lin Cunde looked at Gao Gu!

"They respect you now because you can bring them power, but without us, they won't need you, Mr. Marquis, and in the future, if Mr. Marquis has any other ideas, they may not support them, especially It's Luanzhou. Although we are against it on the surface, there are also many people who are against it!

Many ministers don’t understand what happened in Luanzhou, and of course I don’t understand it either, so I also oppose it!

But without us, they can focus on attacking Luanzhou!

At that time, the Marquis will have to face a civil servant who acts in unison, which is not a good thing for the Marquis! "Gao Gu stood there and continued to explain to Lin Cunde!

Lin Cunde then looked at Shang Ren, wanting to know what Shang Ren said?

Shang Ren saw Lin Cunde staring at him and couldn't help but become nervous. In fact, he supported Lin Cunde in his heart. After returning from Liaodong Town, Shang Ren admired Lin Cunde in his heart and knew that Lin Cunde was dedicated to the Ming Dynasty!

Seeing that Shang Ren was nervous, Lin Cunde smiled and asked, "Don't you have anything to say?"

"Yes, yes, but I haven't thought about what to say yet! In short, Lord Marquis, it is more beneficial to keep us than to get rid of us. Please think twice, Lord Marquis!" Shang Ren quickly said with his hand.

Lin Cunde nodded, then looked at the three of them and said: "Actually, what I just said outside is the truth. His Majesty makes the decision on how to deal with you, not me, and I will not do it. There is really no reason for you to come to me for such a decision!

Moreover, I am a military commander. Is it inappropriate for me to help you?

Although His Majesty has just taken power, as a general, I also have some taboos!

I told Your Majesty before that I don’t have to worry about anything anymore. I am the Marquis. In my lifetime, as well as my descendants, they will not have to worry about food and clothing! I can explain to you what happened in Luanzhou. As you think, it is to prepare for dealing with the Japanese state, not just to deal with the Japanese state!

If things in Luanzhou can succeed, His Majesty will be comparable to all emperors in the past, even to the First Emperor!

As for the civil servants and generals in the court, it is estimated that many of them will leave their names in history!

Otherwise, do you think His Majesty would spend so much money to support Luanzhou?

Moreover, the direct economic benefits brought by Luanzhou's entry exceeded 4 million taels, and the total investment was between 5 million taels!

In addition, it has also promoted the local development of Luanzhou. A large number of people have made money by working in Luanzhou, and a large number of businessmen have made money in Luanzhou. Last year, Luanzhou received commercial taxes. , more than three hundred thousand taels, ten times the previous amount, and it is expected to double next year!

In other words, Luanzhou didn’t actually spend much money!

But the benefits it brings are huge, and they have huge benefits for the country and the people! Therefore, whoever of you objects will definitely leave a mark on you in the history books, and of course, it won’t be a good word! "
