Su De did not attend the morning court, but it did not affect the quarrel among the ministers in the Jinluan Palace at all.
Today's early dynasty is completely different from the early dynasty when Su Hanlin and Su Hui were in power. Even if Su De is not here, it will not prevent the ministers from discussing things, because Su De gave the ministers a new right called holding a meeting.
Hand vote.
When encountering some decision-making matters, they can discuss it carefully and then make a decision by a show of hands.
If it is really difficult to make a decision, or if the stakes are very important, the decision will be left to Su De.
Su De usually does not act arbitrarily. He will discuss matters in the court and then participate in a show of hands vote.
This has resulted in the morning court being extremely lively every day. The ministers argue and express their opinions. There may even be fierce scenes where one person verbally engages in a verbal battle with the others, or a group of ministers make Su De blush and even run away. Funny and absurd scenes
screen.
The ministers were given great power by Su De, and the influence of the imperial power was reduced again and again by Su De himself.
The whole country is developing towards a more advanced social system under the influence of this good atmosphere.
Nine o'clock in the morning.
The ministers ended the new day's quarrels and walked out of the Golden Palace with sparks in their throats.
Everyone's mouth is filled with vitality. They like the free and unrestrained morning court now, which allows them to fully display what they have learned and say everything they think in their hearts. Even if they are wrong, they are not afraid. The emperor also
Will not blame.
The only thing that displeases them is that it takes too much effort on their throats. Every time they go down, their throats are so dry that they feel like they are on fire. Sometimes, if they argue so fiercely, their throats may even become hoarse for several days.
Nice romance
However, they did not dare to go to court in advance after drinking enough water. It would be terrible if they could hold back their urine, because they could offend the power of God if they could not pay respects during the court time.
They wanted to give advice to Su De, but they felt that Su De was already "in miserable condition" and had almost lost the dignity of the emperor. It would be too cruel to deprive him of the few remaining dignity.
And they all agreed that they should maintain a proper respect for the imperial power, otherwise something would happen.
When they arrived at Xuandemen, Su De passed by them in a dragon chariot. They hurriedly stopped and bowed to Su De.
When arguing in the court, they could temporarily not regard Su De as the emperor, but only regard Su De as their opponent. But after going to court, their respect for Su De was not less. On the contrary, the more kind Su De was to them, the more respectful they became.
I am in awe of Su De.
As for why Su De didn't go to the morning court, they didn't bother to ask because they had long been used to it. They just asked because the dragon was sick.
The dragon chariot suddenly stopped when it reached the front. Su De lifted the curtain and stuck his head out, looking at the ministers and said: "I think the morning court should be divided into two parts, and a quarter of an hour can be left in the middle for all my beloved ministers.
Go out and breathe some fresh air, calm down your mind, sort out your thoughts, and then make more rigorous and thoughtful arguments and decisions. What do you think of my idea?"
"Your Majesty's idea is excellent. This veteran is the first to raise his hand in agreement." Du Chengbi was the first to respond.
He was getting older, and the frequency of court attendance was somewhat unspeakable. The two-hour morning court service from five to nine in the morning was really too much for him. It would be great if there was a quarter of an hour of rest in between.
"I also raise my hands in agreement."
"minister……"
Su De's proposal suited the wishes of the ministers, so naturally they all raised their hands, and no one objected.
"Okay, that's it, it's decided." Su De nodded and smiled.
"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" Du Chengbi knelt down and expressed his gratitude.
Other ministers also knelt down and knelt down to worship, shouting long live the mountain.
They all knew in their hearts that Su De actually made an excuse to give them a quarter of an hour's rest so that they could solve the problem of Gong and save them from the unspeakable embarrassing torture in the morning.
For the emperor who cared so much for his ministers, they expressed their gratitude and support from the bottom of their hearts.
"Everyone, get up." Su De raised his hand to the ministers, and then asked: "I am going to visit the old general at the Guowei Mansion. Do you want to go with me? No? Then I will go by myself."
"..." The ministers were speechless as they looked at the chariot going away, because Su De didn't give them a chance to answer at all.
"Haha, let me tell you, it is impossible for your Majesty to break off the relationship with the old general." A military general stroked his beard and laughed.
He felt that Su De's visit to Butcher Zhang at this time was to tell the officials his attitude towards Butcher Zhang's family.
"Your Majesty is a benevolent and righteous king, and the old general is a veteran of three dynasties. He has dedicated his whole life for Dasu and has made great contributions. How could your Majesty do such an unjust act as a bird with a bow and a hidden bow?"
"You civil servants don't understand the importance of General Zhang to our Da Su. Without the old general to intimidate the surrounding areas, do you think Da Su can have peace in all directions? The Wentian Sect would have eaten us long ago."
"that is…"
Some ministers who supported Butcher Zhang echoed his words.
Most of them were military generals, who had an almost fanatical worship of Butcher Zhang.
"You generals know how to fight and kill, but you don't know the harm that every war brings to the country and the people. Since ancient times, wars have led to heavy taxation. Our country, Su, is at a critical moment when it is light on taxation and heavy on development. The people
We finally escaped from the war and lived a stable life, do you want this good situation to be ruined by this war that should not have happened?"
"Do you want the efforts of the late emperor and emperor to go to waste?"
"Do you want Dasu to be engulfed in war again? Do you want the people of Dasu to be displaced again and starve to death everywhere?"
"Do you want to be a criminal in history?"
Some ministers who opposed the war also had reasons for their opposition. Even if Su De had made his attitude clear, they would still fight for it.
Both sides had their own reasons and refused to give in to each other. They just stood on the roadside and started arguing fiercely. Some eunuchs and maids who were passing by were frightened to stop at a distance and did not dare to approach.
Dang Dang Dang!
"Old General, I'm here to see you."
Su De knocked lightly on the door of Butcher Zhang's study.
He did not let the guards at the door report to the house first, because Butcher Zhang knew that when he arrived, he would go out to greet him with the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers. He told Butcher Zhang several times that he did not have to do this and just treat him as a junior. But Butcher Zhang
They didn't even listen, so when he came to Guowei Mansion in the future, he wouldn't let anyone know in advance. He would always go in directly. He wouldn't let anyone in until he got close to the small courtyard where Butcher Zhang lived.
He knew that Zhang Tufu was not a polite person. The reason why he was polite to him and even behaved respectfully was actually to show his imperial power. He was afraid that he would be hard to convince when the new emperor took office and had no power to rely on in the imperial capital.
He was looked down upon by a group of ministers, so he set an example to scare the ministers and make them put away their arrogance.
Butcher Zhang has assisted three generations of the Su family, and he can be said to be loyal and dedicated. Su De's gratitude and respect for him cannot be described in words.
"I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming, so I missed you from a distance. Please forgive me."
Butcher Zhang opened the door and bowed to Su De.
"Old general, you have broken this boy." Su De hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
Butcher Zhang took the opportunity to let Su De into the study and said: "Your Majesty is here just in time. I have just written a book and am about to go to the palace to present it. Please read it."
"It's probably because of the recent controversy in the court. But let's make it clear first that if you submit your resignation, I will never allow it." Su De said first.
boom!
As soon as the door to Butcher Zhang's room was closed, he snorted coldly: "That's not up to you!"
"..."
