little emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 246 Criticism
Trust is such a mysterious thing sometimes, it is hard to explain, but it really exists.

But Shen Shixing's belief doesn't mean everyone believes it. When Zhu Changluo went all out to build the Shenji Camp, what he didn't expect was that a meeting against him was being held in Wenyuan Pavilion, where the cabinet is located. .

There were five chairs in the room, and there were no empty seats. Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue sat in the middle, and they looked at each other, their eyes flickering.

The person who initiated this meeting was Sanfu Yu Shenxing. Perhaps it was because he had served as Minister of Rites for many years. Mo Meng's work guiding ideology, together with Li Tingji, strongly advocated holding this meeting of all cabinet members.

Originally, according to Yu Shenxing's intention, it would be better to invite the prince to listen in, but as soon as this proposal was raised, Shen Shixing sternly rejected it.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, only Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu Emperor, has no cabinet, no prime minister, and one family, no matter how big or small. that height.Let’s not talk about it, let’s talk about the past three dynasties. At the beginning of Emperor Jiajing’s ascension to the throne, he was diligent every day, but since the incident of the Great Ritual Discussion, what’s the benefit of sitting in court?In this way, the jar was broken, and even the court meeting was cancelled.

The succeeding Emperor Longqing was mediocre and kind. Although he didn't have any special talents, but fortunately he was virtuous and admonished. He successively reused Zhang Juzheng Gaogong and other famous officials. After a few years in office, Longqing was revived. You can't be the bridegroom every day and night.The current Wanli Emperor who succeeded him later responded to the old saying that the dragon begets the dragon and the phoenix, and the son of a mouse can make a hole. Not to mention the combination of the great achievements of the two generations of grandfather, and it has a tendency to carry forward.

Fortunately, Daming never perishes, since he took office as the crown prince, he has performed extremely wisely and diligently.Many officials discussed in private, and they all agreed that the prince Zhu Changluo would definitely become the king of Zhongxing in the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years.

Maybe it was too hardworking. It is said that the prince had a serious illness a few days ago. Although the prince deliberately concealed the news, the fact that the officials didn't know about it didn't mean that the Qianqing Palace didn't know about it.After a decree came down, all the servants and maidservants in Ciqing Palace were reprimanded. Fortunately, the crown prince interceded in time, otherwise these people's fate would not be so simple.

Wanli, who was still furious, summoned Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue into the palace overnight, and lashed out at the cabinet's dereliction of duty, almost pointing his nose at them and calling them incompetent.So when Yu Shenxing asked for this small meeting, he was still thinking about inviting the prince to come, but Shen Shixing flatly refused almost without thinking.Yu Shenxing thought about the emperor's ashen face in his mind, and finally got smarter, and didn't insist on his almost deadly request.

"Recently, the government and the public are uneasy, and there have been many shocks. All the adults here are cabinet ministers. They bear the trust of the emperor and Hong En, so they naturally shoulder the responsibility of rectifying the root and rectifying the source." This opening remark instantly set the tone of the conversation. But Yang Feng Baixue is doomed to be high-ranking and few. At this particularly sensitive time, it is inexplicably harsh to get back to the source and distinguish between clear and turbid.

Wang Xijue is of Jiang Gui's nature, before he finished listening, his eyes widened, his face full of displeasure.After all, Shen Shixing was experienced, he took a blue and white tureen and sipped his drink without saying a word.And Ye Xianggao was in the last seat, he had already prepared a small notebook and a pen in his hand, and was ready to record.Yu Shenxing stared at the small book in his hand, and suddenly felt a headache for no reason.

The scene turned so cold, Li Tingji saw that something was wrong, and quickly closed his mouth to smooth things over: "Your Excellency is upright and upright, what you say is naturally good words for the country and the people, let's talk about business, let's listen carefully."

Yu Shenxing, who had already seen the expressions of several people in his eyes and felt a little unhappy, coughed habitually, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.However, when things come to an end, we have to bite the bullet and continue: "Recently, the adults have also seen that His Royal Highness has issued several decrees to establish three battalions, open sea bans, and build naval divisions. These things are indeed good things for the country and the people. , but the national treasury has been empty for a long time, not to mention the three things, even one of them is afraid that it will not be able to meet. Although the crown prince has stated that he will not use the treasury money and food, but think about it, my lords, how long can we support it with only internal funds?" Speaking of Here, there was a pause on purpose, and then he continued: "The crown prince has recently transferred three military officers to the capital. These few things are connected, don't you adults realize that His Highness has the intention of promoting martial arts?"

Shen Shixing's hand on the teacup suddenly tightened, and Wang Xijue's face became even more ugly. Among the five, only Li Tingji nodded slightly, deeply convinced, and Ye Xianggao was busy writing notes.

"Our great Ming dynasty is a magnificent country, and all previous emperors have emphasized literary governance over martial arts. As long as we practice virtue diligently, we will naturally be able to keep the enemy in our arms and keep our enemies at bay. A few words were so soul-stirring, Yu Shenxing thought he was well-founded, the anxiety at the beginning had long gone, and his old face was flushed: "His Royal Highness's recent actions have caused unrest in the government and the public, and now the table is tired. The cases all come for this.”

"Your Majesty has a long-term plan for the safety of the imperial court, so I would like to ask all the adults to come up with an idea. Now is the time to give advice to stop His Highness's greedy and rash advances, otherwise there will be great chaos in the long run."

Originally, I thought that if I could not stand up and applaud my own words, the few present would at least be emotional, but I never expected that except for Li Tingji nodding his head from time to time to show his agreement, The other three were still doing what they were supposed to do, basically as if they hadn't heard anything.Yu Shenxing was furious, squinted his eyes and glanced around, not daring to vent his anger on the two of King Shen, the anger naturally fell on Wu Fu Ye Xianggao's head.

"Lord Ye, since you are lucky enough to be in the cabinet, you should know the principle of loyalty to the emperor. If you are a dead body, don't you be worthy of the favor of the prince's promotion?"

These words are really ugly, it is simply saying that Ye Xianggao is a scum who hangs around in the revolutionary ranks and waits to die.Li Tingji is an honest man who doesn't easily offend others. Although he has a good relationship with Yu Shenxing, hearing this is quite harsh, so he kindly gave him a hand. Yu Shenxing snorted and ignored him. With a face full of what he can do to me, it made Li Tingji feel awkward.

It's another fucking infighting, it's only been quiet for a few days?Thinking of this Wang Xijue's face completely turned cold. Just when he was about to have an attack, someone kicked his foot. He turned his head in a daze, but saw Shen Shixing's face was calm, his eyebrows were lowered, and he didn't even have a trace of expression on his face. move.Wang Xijue swallowed the words he was about to reprimand.

Ye Xianggao, who was shot in the middle of the gun, stood up slowly and cupped his hands at Yu Shenxing, with a calm and soft voice: "Your Excellency accuses, but Jinqing does not agree; as a cabinet minister, Chang Si should be the country and the king. To share worries, not to seek profit for oneself; we ministers should take care of every day and government affairs on behalf of the emperor and His Royal Highness, we must first be good at observing, judging right from wrong, what is right, what is wrong, and what is beneficial to the country , and then present it to His Majesty, His Majesty will make a clear judgment. I wonder if your lord thinks so?"

Facing Ye Xianggao's neither humbleness nor arrogance, Yu Shenxing snorted coldly: "Master Ye is right, but people's will should not be underestimated. Have you read those memorials one by one?"

"My lord Yu has also seen the memorabilia that is piled with cases and desks, but my lord is different from you, and has a different opinion." At this point, Shen Shixing, who had been silent all this time, suddenly opened his slightly closed eyes. , there was a little more excitement on the scheming face: "Tell me about it."

Ye Xianggao smiled slightly: "Master Yu said these memoirs, a total of 120 volumes, including 280 volumes for the court officials, and a total of [-] volumes for governors, governors, prefectures and counties in all places."

Hearing what he said was so precious, Shen Shixing smiled meaningfully, Wang Xijue raised his eyes in surprise, and the two exchanged glances, and what they saw in each other's eyes was undisguised admiration.Suddenly Yu Shenxing's heart beat a little anxiously, and his eyes were a little vacant: "...Since I have seen it all, I should know the voice of the people and the opinions of the people. Does Mr. Ye have any different opinions?"

"His Royal Highness re-established the three major camps and rebuilt the Great Ming Navy. These are great achievements that benefit the country and the people, and the merits of the society will benefit the future. What's more, His Highness has long stated that all the funds will be allocated from internal funds. , don’t move the treasury for a cent of the public silver, such a holy prince, I don’t know what these officials are dissatisfied with?” Speaking of this, Ye Xianggao, contrary to the previous low-key and calm, became sharp and high-pitched: “These Those who wrote to oppose it are just because the decree issued by His Highness has touched the vested interests of some people, and it is one thing not to benefit from it, and another is to be afraid of losing power in their hands!"

Yu Shenxing blushed anxiously, and sneered repeatedly: "Master Ye is very eloquent, but you can say anything, according to the past practice, even your Majesty has to follow the will of the people. This is the general trend and cannot be changed."

"At the end of the day, it's just four words of using civil and martial arts. I think our Ming Dynasty has been using civil and martial arts for so many years, and we have done nothing. I believe that my lord knows much less about these things than the lower official. The lower official is a cabinet minister. When he is awake at night, Chang Si is incompetent and cannot help His Highness develop his grand plans, but he will not pretend to be clever and delay His Highness. Hind legs, force to obstruct."

Wang Xijue suddenly smiled and said: "In Master Ye's opinion, how should these memorials be distributed?"

"According to my humble opinion, I don't need to pay attention to it at all, and just keep all the memorabilia."

Shen Shixing interjected with a smile: "What should we do if waves of injustice come one after another?"

Ye Xianggao's expression froze: "The wind passes over the hills, the moon enters the heart of the river, if you dare to make any noise, you only need to sternly refute it!"

Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue looked at each other, they both smiled and said nothing.

Yu Shenxing's face was as red as a piece of pork liver, panting heavily, he stretched out his hand and nodded Ye Xianggao: "You... know what you are talking about? How can you turn a blind eye to so many memorials! You must know the hearts of the people Those who win the world, those who lose the hearts of the people lose the world. You want to be a generation of sycophants, but you dare to fall into the name of the emperor and His Royal Highness? If you don’t understand it today, I will definitely go to His Majesty with you to understand it. !"

Li Tingji with a bitter face looked at this and that, Mingcheng's two adults, King Shen, were on Ye Xianggao's side.He has also read some of those brochures, and it is indeed as Ye Xianggao said, in fact, what people are afraid of in their hearts, everyone who is blind eats glutinous rice balls knows it well.

Seeing that the scene froze again, he and Yu Shenxing had the best personal relationship, and he couldn't just watch him froze and couldn't get off the stage, so he searched his brains and typed a few words, and when he was about to say something, he suddenly heard There was a sound of footsteps... the sound fell, and it was Huang Jin, the chief eunuch who hadn't seen him for a long time.

Ever since Emperor Wanli officially ordered that all government affairs be completely handed over to the crown prince, the old Eunuch Huang, who once called for a hundred promises, has lost his glory, but after all, his prestige is still there. All the old officials didn't dare to be arrogant, they all stood up and gave up their seats. Shen Shixing said with a smile: "Eunuch is not by His Majesty's side, why come to Wenyuan Pavilion when you have time?"
