Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

Chapter 431: Hundreds of officials are present in the court, each with their own thoughts
In the main hall, Zhu Gang's rebuttal was like a bolt of thunder from the blue.

In an instant, the atmosphere in the court became extremely tense.

It was as if a devastating storm was brewing, with dark clouds pressing down heavily and almost swallowing up the majestic palace.

There were faint flashes of lightning in between, like a sharp edge hidden in the darkness, which could tear apart this suffocating dullness at any time.

At this moment, the entire court was like a shabby little boat struggling in the strong wind and huge waves, and was on the verge of collapse under the impact of the surging waves.

It seemed as if it would be ruthlessly swallowed up in the next moment and disappear without a trace.

The ministers' breathing involuntarily became rapid and heavy.

It was as if the air had become sticky, and every breath I took brought with it endless oppression.

Mei Sizu, the senior Marquis of Runan, frowned tightly.

The wrinkles on his forehead deepened a little, which were the marks left by time and experience.

Mei Sizu gently pulled the sleeve of a young official beside him, leaned closer and said in a low voice: "Hey, look at what has happened, what should we do?

The most taboo thing in the court is endless disputes like this!
If this goes on, all important matters will be delayed.

Our Ming dynasty cannot withstand such turmoil."

The young official looked pale and nervous, with beads of sweat on his forehead.

He nodded slightly in response, his lips trembling slightly, but he couldn't utter a word in response for a long time.

The young official just stammered, "My Lord, this... this is really difficult to deal with..."

Some officials also looked indifferent, as if they had long been accustomed to all kinds of disputes in the court.

In their eyes, this is just an ordinary drama that is played out again and again.

One of the officials from the Ministry of Industry had his hands clasped in the wide sleeves.

He leaned back slightly, leaning against the pillar of the court.

The official from the Ministry of Industry narrowed his eyes slightly, with a subtle arc at the corner of his mouth.

He thought to himself, "Humph, these princes and ministers, all they do is argue with each other all day long, I wonder what they can achieve?

It's really boring, please don't disturb my peace. "

What's worse, there was a hint of gloating in some people's eyes, and that look was like a hunter who saw his prey fall into a trap.

As if he was waiting to see a wonderful show, the smile on his lips could not be hidden.

Lin Sheng, the younger head of the Ministry of Justice, raised his lips slightly, with a hint of excitement in his eyes.

He couldn't help but mutter to himself, "Hey, this is finally going to be something fun to watch.

It depends on who will gain the upper hand between Prince Jin and Lord Su.

It's been a long time since the court has been so lively, we have to take a good look."

The Minister of War Tang Duo, who was standing by, couldn't help but sigh slightly when he saw this.

That sigh revealed endless helplessness and worry.

He knew very well that once the dispute in the court started, if it was not properly handled, the consequences would be disastrous.

This concerns the stability of the Ming Dynasty and cannot be taken lightly.

Tang Duo walked forward with steady steps and bowed slightly.

He said softly to Zhu Gang, "Your Highness Prince Jin, please don't worry.

Although this matter is very tricky, it is not completely hopeless.

Think about it, the affairs of our court have always been a matter of one move affecting the entire body.

Any decision or dispute must be handled with extreme caution.

Perhaps we can think about it again, sit down and discuss it calmly, and see if we can come up with a solution that satisfies both parties." Zhu Gang turned to look at Tang Duo, a trace of gratitude flashing in his eyes.

He hurriedly nodded slightly, with a hint of helplessness and anxiety in his tone.

“Thank you for your concern, Lord Tang, but the current situation really makes me feel overwhelmed.

I, the king, am wholeheartedly devoting myself to contributing to the country and people of the Ming Dynasty by promoting this new financial approach.

But who would have thought that it would cause so much trouble, ah..."

At this moment, Zhu Mengyan, who succeeded Li Shuzheng as the Minister of Rites, also stepped forward.

His face was solemn, he bowed with both hands, and said to Zhu Gang respectfully: "Your Highness, Prince of Jin, this matter is really related to the people's support.

You see, since the rich people are so worried, they must lack trust in this new method.

Can we consider starting with publicity?

Let the people understand the benefits of this method more clearly, so that perhaps they can accept this new method. "

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Zhu Gang smiled bitterly and shook his head, looking helpless.

He spread his hands and said, "Master Zhu, your idea is good, but this method has just been tried and it has caused such a panic.

If we continue to publicize it, I'm afraid it will cause even bigger waves, and then it will be even more difficult to deal with the situation."

Zhu Mengyan frowned, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

He slowly said: "But if we don't publicize it, how can this method be implemented?
Your Highness Prince Jin, we have to find a compromise.

We can't just watch this method die, that would be a shame, after all, this is also your hard work, Your Highness."

At this time, the Minister of Justice Hu Zhen also spoke up: "Your Highness Prince Jin, this matter concerns the legal aspect, so you must not take it lightly.

If we continue to implement it, we must ensure that all laws and regulations are implemented in place, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

The law is the foundation of our Ming Dynasty, and everything must be done within the framework of the law."

Zhu Gang nodded and said, "Lord Hu is right. I will consider the matter of law carefully.

This matter of law is about fairness and justice.

This is related to the long-term stability of our Ming Dynasty, and I know it well in my heart."

At this time, there was still a solemn atmosphere in the court, and everyone was waiting.

Those pairs of eyes were either worried, indifferent, or expectant.

Everyone is closely watching how this controversy over the new fiscal measures will end.

In fact, Zhu Gang was extremely anxious. He knew very well that if he could not convince his father and the ministers at this time, all his efforts would be wasted.

At this moment, he felt as if his heart was being tightly grasped by an invisible giant hand. Every beat seemed to be accompanied by a sharp pain, and the pain went straight into the depths of his heart.

Zhu Gang took a deep breath and said earnestly again: "Father, I admit that there are indeed some problems in this trial, but this does not mean that the method itself is not feasible.

When Wang Danian was negotiating with the wealthy families, he may not have been able to explain clearly the subtleties of the Son-Minister Method, which led to misunderstanding among the wealthy families.

Furthermore, I believe that when the court implements new policies, it should do a good job of publicity and explanation.

Let the common people and the wealthy understand the pros and cons, so that it can be implemented smoothly.

I am truly devoted to the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty, and I hope your Majesty will understand this."

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the high dragon throne, his face gloomy and his eyes as cold as a pond in winter.

After listening to Zhu Gang's explanation, he was silent for a moment, and that moment of silence seemed as long as a century.

The entire court was so quiet at this moment that the only sound that could be heard was the slightly rapid breathing of the civil and military officials.
