Chapter 435 Controversy ([-])

"Dai Duo, Er'an dare to make such wild and rebellious remarks, disregarding the damage to the interests of the Qing Dynasty, are you trying to destroy our country, eh?"

All the ministers were discussing indiscriminately, before the old man could speak, E Manshun jumped up with beard and eyes, pointed at Dai Duo, and mercilessly scolded.

"Edutong said it well. This villain sees it. How can the power of my celestial dynasty be tarnished by Japanese slaves. Anyone who dares to oppose the war is a traitor and should be punished!"

"That's right, my Qing Dynasty's prestige cannot be damaged. People like Dai Duo have ulterior motives, which is not what a minister should do!"

"Dai Duo, as a minister of the Qing Dynasty, you don't want to serve the country, but serve the Japanese slaves. What is your intention?"

……

With E Manshun taking the lead, all the commanders of the Eight Banners were in full swing, one scolded more fiercely than the other, and under the excitement of the crowd, they almost rolled up their sleeves and gave Dai Duo a violent beating.

"Your Majesty, this minister has written a note."

All the Eight Banners Commanders are so passionate, if it is another person, I am afraid that they will not be able to withstand the huge pressure, but Dai Duo is lucky, there is no panic at all, and he simply ignores the clamor of the Eight Banners. No matter how loud the voices of the many ministers and workers behind him were, they kowtowed heavily to the old man, and sincerely reported again.

"Aiqing just speak up if you have something to say, and you are really listening."

The old man didn't want to fight in his heart, not because he was afraid of losing, but subconsciously, he had the idea of ​​seeking stability, probably because the two abolished princes and Zhu elder brothers' housework had already exhausted the old man's energy and energy. I don't want any incidents to happen, but it's not easy for him to say these words in person, nothing else, just because the disciples of the Eight Banners are making a lot of trouble, and there is no word of comfort, and there is no way to make a Tiananmen Square petition This incident will happen again, because of this, the old man is pleased with Dai Duo's daring to stand up against the war, and the words he ordered to play are full of encouragement.

"Zha, I have a copy of your Majesty's letter, and the sage of soldiers has something to say: Soldiers are important matters for the country, and the way of life and death must not be careless. Today, our Qing Dynasty builds the country with benevolence and filial piety, and educates the world with benevolence and filial piety. How can it be because of businessmen? And reckless use of swords and weapons, besides, the Japanese country hangs alone overseas, far away from our Qing Dynasty. There may be disadvantages in war, and the Japanese, the land of the barbarians, is not enough to open up our territory. Instead, it will be a waste of military power. What is the benefit to the country? Therefore, I think that it is the best policy to cut off contact with them if they are not engaged in war. As above to hear."

Dai Duo came prepared, and after some remonstrance, his words are quite reasonable, which is quite consistent with the Confucian conservative thinking. Let alone the gentler smile on the old man's face, even many civil servants below He nodded approvingly.

"Your Majesty, I think that Lord Dai's remarks are absurd. They are really wronging the country. He has ulterior motives and should be punished for his crimes!"

Even though Zhao Hongye and other masters who have read some books are not uncommon among the Eight Banners Commanders, they are all generals after all, and it is okay to be noisy. I was blinded, even though I was extremely dissatisfied with Dai Duo's words, I just didn't know where to start to refute it for a while. When I was staring at the big eyes, I saw Chen Guanzhao, the minister of Honglu Temple, was already a big man. Bu stepped out of the queue, rushed to the front of the imperial court, knelt down on the ground, and protested loudly.

"Ok?"

Seeing that Dai Duo's words suppressed all the leaders of the Eight Banners, the old man was very relieved. He wanted to make a few comments on the occasion and end the war and war, but he didn't expect that Chen Guanzhao would When he popped his head at this time, his face immediately turned a little uncomfortable, but it's just that it's not good to favor one person over another, so he can only snort a cold snort full of displeasure from his nostrils.

"Your Majesty clearly learned that, as the Minister of Honglu Temple, all matters that belong to the foreign vassal are within the responsibility of the minister. Today, Dai Duo's false remarks have harmed the country, and the minister has no choice but to refute him. Please also ask Your Majesty to inquire."

Facing the cold face of the old man, Chen Guanzhao couldn't help feeling a little flustered, but when he thought of what the third master had explained in advance, he still had to bite the bullet and say something.

"speak!"

The old man first gave the third master who was at the front of the queue a cold look, and then looked at Chen Guanzhao, who was trying to keep himself calm. In the end, he reluctantly agreed to Chen Guanzhao's request.

"Zha, minister, Chen Guanzhao, the Minister of Honglu Temple, has a book to play. I heard Dai Duo's words before, and kept saying that I am based on benevolence and filial piety in the Qing Dynasty. It is true. However, how can the national prestige be lightly insulted? Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once said Said: Those who offend our strong Han will be punished even though they are far away. Today, the national power of the Qing Dynasty is ten times that of the Han Dynasty. How can we lightly forgive the death crime of offending Tianwei because the Japanese country is far overseas? Besides, the reason why the Mongolian Yuan will be defeated , probably due to ignorance of hydrology, all sea-going ships have hidden dangers, and they are not suitable for crossing the sea and fighting. If they are destroyed in a storm, it is not a crime of war, but a disadvantage of shipbuilding. Today, we have strong ships in the Qing Dynasty. , the Ministry of Industry has even made giant cannons for sea-going ships. With the advantage of the strong guns of this ship, why worry about not being able to destroy a district of the Japanese country? Let’s not say that the trade with his country in the past few years is useless, let’s say that his country produces a lot of silver. If you win this country, you can get hundreds of millions of silver. , How can it be said that there is no war, and I have heard all kinds of things, and I beg your Majesty to make a decision."

What kind of reaction will Fourth Master have? Hong Qing has already analyzed the anti-war theory that can be put forward very thoroughly. Qing's confession in advance was just stated one by one. Although it was a long speech, it was not too difficult for Chen Guanzhao who had memorized his lines early. The words refute the individual to the point of incompleteness.

"Master Chen's remarks are probably exaggerated. Today, most of our Great Qingshui Division has been abolished. Most of the remaining ones are inland river divisions. They can be used for overseas expeditions. If they are rebuilt from scratch, they will become an army. There is no end in sight, even if our Qing cavalry is invincible in the world, but it is still difficult to cross the vast sea, how can this be explained?"

Facing Chen Guanzhao's sharp words, Dai Duo was a little flustered in his heart, but he refused to admit defeat, but bit the bullet and pointed out the weakness of Master Qingshui.

"Absurd talk, real summer insects cannot be described as ice, but well frogs cannot be described as seas!"

As soon as Dai Duo said this, Chen Guanzhao immediately sneered, and unceremoniously compared Dai Duo to a summer bug and a frog in a well.

"This is the imperial court, Mr. Chen, don't speak nonsense, military and state affairs can't be trifled with!"

As soon as Chen Guanzhao finished speaking, Fourth Master couldn't bear it anymore, so he stood up from the side and scolded loudly.

"Why did the fourth brother make such a statement? When it comes to state affairs, the courtiers discuss it. There is nothing to say. The so-called reason is not loud. If the fourth brother thinks that we cannot fight, and give detailed reasons, otherwise, he is bullying others." !"

Beating a dog depends on the owner, doesn't it?As soon as fourth master came out like this, third master couldn't bear it anymore, and then he also stood up from the side, taking on the posture of a brother, and counterattacked fourth master unceremoniously.

"Om..."

The courtiers didn't expect that the discussion had reached this point, and the two princes and brothers would confront each other in court. Surprised, the voice of disorderly discussion suddenly became louder.

"Third brother is serious, but younger brother still thinks that military and national affairs should be treated with caution, and decisions must not be hasty."

The fourth master obviously did not expect that the third master, who has always kept a low profile during court meetings, would come forward to embarrass him in person at this moment, and his expression sank, but he really didn't dare to easily confront the third master on such occasions The one who turned his face could only suppress the anger in his heart, and explained as calmly as possible.

"Fourth brother is right. We must be cautious about military and state affairs. However, we must not forget that we only have the responsibility to discuss matters. How to judge should be decided by Huang Ama. It is wrong to impose crimes on others. What we should do for the children of the Tian family, this one, the fourth brother must keep it in mind."

There are not many opportunities to teach Fourth Master a lesson in public. If Li Minquan hadn't "predicted" all the reactions of Fourth Master this time, it would be rare for Third Master to seize such a fleeting opportunity. He was very happy, but there was a look of pain on his face, and he taught fourth master a lesson with earnestness and earnestness.

"Third brother Lao Lao reminded me."

The fourth master planned to act as a lone minister again, but he didn't expect to be caught by the third master. He was really ashamed and angry in his heart, and he couldn't do anything inappropriate at this time. It can only be said perfunctorily with a black face.

Hehe, Dad's prestige is so cool, it can make fourth master feel embarrassed, and it's not in vain for our painstaking efforts in designing it!

Seeing the third master shaking his prestige there, Hong Qing's expression was quite calm, but she was secretly laughing inwardly, nothing else, since she had expected that the fourth master would play the role of a lone minister, Hong Qing would never let him Get proud, and have long planned to embarrass fourth master. For this reason, Hong Qing has repeatedly deduced the tension of the court, and designed a few sets of plans based on this, and asked Li Minquan to tell third master. Master's appearance, and now, all the painstaking efforts were finally not in vain, Hong Qing naturally had reason to be excited.

"Huang Ama, my minister also has a book to play."

After the third master taught the fourth master a sharp lesson, he didn't talk to the fourth master any more. Instead, he turned around, faced the old man, bowed respectfully, and sincerely asked for instructions.

"Well, if the third child has anything to say, we can talk about it."

The old man originally had high hopes for the fourth master's success, but unfortunately, the third master suppressed the fourth master before he had time to show it. There is a strong look of anticipation in the eyes of the old man. The old man knows that the general situation may not be reversed. Although the loss is inevitable, it is not easy to show it at this time. It can only be a Raising his eyebrows, his voice calmly agreed to the third master's request.
