Chapter 26: Suppressing Xunqi? (Ranking Chapter 2)

PreviousBack to directoryNext
To be honest, Guo Sheng didn't want to stand up at this time.

He knew in his heart that in the current situation, the top priority was to work together to defeat the enemy. If he rashly came out to sing the opposite, he would easily become the target of public criticism.

But no matter what, he is the officer in charge of the Chinese Army Governor's Mansion.

Even if it's in name only.

If you say nothing at this time and spread the word, your relatives will poke you in the back.

"Your Majesty, the Beijing Camp is affiliated to the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army. As a rule, the admiral should be selected from among the relatives and nominated by the Governor's Office of the Fifth Army. Why is it that the Ministry of War draws up a candidate list?"

Even if he didn't want to say anything anymore, sitting in this position, Guo Sheng had to bite the bullet and speak.

The logic is quite good.

According to convention, the Beijing Camp is affiliated to the Fifth Army Governor's Office. In the past, the admiral ministers of the Beijing Camp were directly reported to the imperial court by the Fifth Army Governor's Office.

Although there were times when the emperor was unsure and would order the court to recommend candidates, the power of nomination always belonged to the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army.

But just now, Zhu Qiyu didn't even mention the Fifth Army Commander's Office, but directly passed them and asked the Ministry of War to nominate him.

As the Minister of War, Yu Qian naturally knew this convention, so he did not stand up immediately to receive the order, but was waiting for the people from the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion to speak.

However, Guo Sheng's words were like a spoonful of boiling water poured into boiling oil.

Among the civil servants, someone immediately stood up and said.

"At such a critical moment, Mr. Guo is still limited to such trivial matters, and his desire to fight for power and gain is clearly revealed. Your Majesty, please hold him accountable!"

"If not, then the ministers will work in harmony with each other. They will care about every bit of power, and the government orders will not be passed. In this way, our court is in danger, the country is in danger, and this trend cannot last long!"

Zhu Qiyu went out according to his reputation.

The speaker was seen wearing a blue official robe, embroidered with Xie Zhi, sitting not far from Chen Yi.

Then we knew that this was a famous debater among the officials of the Ming Dynasty, the supervisory censor!

I just don’t know which one it is...

In the Ming Dynasty, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was established to take charge of the affairs of the Constitution.

There are thirteen censors under the Metropolitan Procuratorate, each with one chief censor and several supervisory censors, who are responsible for supervisory work across the country.

In terms of the number of people, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was at the forefront among all the yamen in the Ming Dynasty.

Although most of the attendees at this meeting were officials from various yamen.

But as the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and one of the Seven Qings, Chen Yi brought two chief censors here, and no one could criticize him.

This will come in handy...

As soon as this person finished speaking, another minister stood up on the other end and pointed at Guo Sheng.

"The emperor suffered this calamity because of his military ministers who instigated a personal expedition behind his back. Now that the army has been destroyed and the emperor has been taken prisoner, you are talking nonsense here. How can you be worthy of the emperor's holy grace?"

This person also wore a blue official robe, but he did not stand with Chen Yi and others, but stood alone.

Zhu Qiyu glanced at it and saw exactly six.

Needless to say, this is another wave of famous debaters who hit the mark in six subjects!

The six departments are independent of each department and are self-contained, so no one can help them. One person from one department came, exactly six.

The person who just spoke should probably be from the Military Department. After all, matters involving the appointment of generals are within the jurisdiction of the Military Department.

With these two people coming forward to question, other ministers below also started to commotion.

Not long after, a few more courtiers jumped out and said.

"Master Guo, at this time of great crisis, why do you insist on obstructing the passage of government orders?"

"For many years, the Fifth Army Governor's Office has controlled the admiral of the Beijing camp and appointed nepotism, which has led to the weakening of military preparedness. Mr. Guo should take a warning!"

"It's just the right to nominate. At this moment, we, the civil servants and nobles, should work together to overcome the crisis. Why should Lord Guo be so fussy about it?"

All of a sudden, there were all kinds of things to say, some were scolding, and some were trying to persuade me.

In short, it is just one sentence, pointing the finger at Guo Sheng alone.

Guo Sheng could hear sweat breaking out on his forehead.

I'm angry!

These civil servants are really shameless.

What is nonsense?

This was originally the power of the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army, but it was taken away without reason. Even if he came out to appeal, it would not work?

What is preoccupation?

These bastards who stand up and talk without hurting their backs have the ability to ask the Ministry of War to hand over the appointment power of low-level generals!

Lord Guo's beard was trembling with anger.

But looking at Wuyang Wuyang's ministers, they couldn't help but feel discouraged.

On my side, the only person who can discuss this kind of personnel nomination is Zhao Rong, the Bo of Xincheng.

But on the opposite side, there are several third-grade officials who have stepped forward now.

Not to mention that there are a group of Qiqing who are sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and have never expressed their stance, watching eagerly.

How can you beat him?

Guo Sheng couldn't help but sigh.

Or it was because their relatives suffered heavy casualties this time.

The British Duke, the Duke of Cheng, the Marquis of Taining... if any of these big bosses could stand here, how could these civil servants dare to be so arrogant?

It's a pity that they all suffered in the civil war!

As soon as he thought about this, Mr. Guo wanted to tear Wang Zhen alive...

At this time, Zhao Rong, the uncle of Xincheng, also stood up and faced Zhu Qiyu's unkind looks.

"Your Majesty, I sincerely understand that this is the time when the civil and military forces of our court are working together to fight against thieves and captives. However, the former Grand Master Ying Gong, Cheng Guo Gong, Gong Shunhou and other honorable ministers have all died for the country."

"Now that the corpses are still cold, the Fifth Army Commander-in-Chief is being suppressed like this. Doesn't it chill the hearts of loyal ministers and good generals?"

"I am afraid that if this news spreads, it will upset the hearts of the people in the capital. Please think again, Your Majesty."

Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhao Rong with interest, but said nothing.

I have to say that Zhao Rong is calmer than Guo Sheng.

He knew clearly in his heart that in terms of numbers and rhetoric, they could not compare to the civil servants present.

He made his fortune by writing articles!

There is no need to argue with them.

All he needed to do was to hold on tightly to the fact that the civil servants were taking the opportunity to suppress the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army, and that was enough.

As long as the label of fighting for power and profit can be put back on their heads, they will naturally be able to choke their words!

He did not tell the ministers, but made it clear that he was talking to Zhu Qiyu.

Obviously, he thought that King Tan alone would be easier to deal with than a bunch of ministers.

And maybe King Tan was just not familiar with government affairs and didn't know that the power to nominate admiral ministers rested with the Fifth Military Governor's Mansion?

After all, King Tan was the person in charge of this occasion.

As long as the civil servant was choked and King Xun spoke again, the matter would naturally be over...

But these thoughts of Zhao Rong are just wishful thinking.

In this life, Zhu Qiyu has indeed not had much contact with these government affairs.

But in his previous life, he had been the emperor for seven years, so he was naturally knowledgeable about these matters.

Zhao Rong felt that Zhu Qiyu had no reason to help civil servants suppress the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, but things in the world often don't make him think...

Zhu Qiyu pondered for a moment and said.

"Uncle Zhao made a serious statement. It's just a matter of discussing government affairs. How about suppressing it?"

After saying that, before Zhao Rong could react, Zhu Qiyu turned his head again and said.

"Uncle Otsuka, Uncle Zhao said that this matter will chill the hearts of loyal ministers and good generals. What do you think?"
