Chapter 1255 The old man of Jia Ge rises up (Part 2)
Li Chengxun, the left minister of the Ministry of Justice, stood up to support Jia Yong, and compared Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, to Xu Jin, bluntly said that Xu Jin was not worthy of being the king, at least not worthy of being alive. After all, even Zhongshan King Xu Da was posthumously conferred after his death. The Ming Dynasty would never allow a living king of different surnames.
As soon as this statement was made, it immediately aroused strong resonance among the opposition officials, and they all stood up to express their consent. Even Xia Yan, who had always been with Xu Jin, came out to persuade: "It is against our ancestral system to add Duke Jingguo to be a king of another surname. I beg the emperor to take back his order."
"I beg the emperor to take back his life!"
"I beg the emperor to take back his life!"
"I beg the emperor to take back his fate and think twice!" Dozens of court officials of different positions agreed, and their momentum was really great.
Jia Yong was the first of all officials, standing in front. At this time, the old waist was straight, as if he had drunk half a pound of Erguotou, his face was full of redness, and even his wrinkles were stretched out one by one, as if he had returned to his eighteen years old, full of passion. It was obvious that our Jia Ge Lao enjoyed the pleasure of responding to the current moment, which was very pleasant!
Speaking of which, when Fei Hong was in charge of the cabinet, Jia Yong began to join the cabinet to assist in the government and always acted as a miscellaneous person. After Fei Hong withdrew, it was replaced by Jin Xianmin, who was in charge of the cabinet. Jia Yong was still in charge of the miscellaneous person. Later, Jin Xianmin and Liao Ji also retreated one after another. Jia Yong was lucky to be the chief minister and did not have to fight.
However, our Jia Ge Lao is used to being a transparent person. Even if he is the first in the cabinet, he still cannot change his usual style. He has no opinion and is justified in his life, is timid and obedient to his superiors and obeys the words. I am really sorry for the position of chief minister of the cabinet, which is not enough to lead the collective.
Therefore, the officials looked down on the prime minister of Jiage, and nicknamed him "fake prime minister" behind his back, or "clay sculpture chief minister" or the like. Some censors even impeached him directly and asked him to leave quickly and let him get away, so that he would not be able to take the pit and not shit.
Although our Jia Ge Lao is Buddhist, he also needs shame, so he has long wanted to prove that he is not so weak and incompetent. Unfortunately, he has both ability and personality defects. He can't stand up straight in front of the emperor, and his ability is not as good as his colleagues who work with him.
This time the emperor planned to promote Xu Jin to the prince and issued an order for the cabinet to discuss it. Hey, our Jiage Lao finally accumulated enough energy, and broke out in a small universe, directly rejecting Jiajing's order.
It has to be said that Jiajing's act of enthroning the king of another surname was indeed a bit "shocking", which aroused the dissatisfaction of many ministers. Therefore, our Jiage was in a wrong way, not only gaining the support of many colleagues, but also slightly regaining the dignity and prestige of being the chief minister of the cabinet.
To be honest, Jia Ge Lao has been in charge of the cabinet for more than half a year, and he has only tasted the pleasure of leading scholars for the first time today, so he is a little fluttering at this moment and can't find the North anymore.
Looking at the opposition minister who had kneeled all over the ground, Jiajing was extremely annoyed inside, but he was calm on the surface. He had been in power for nearly seven years and was no longer the ignorant young emperor he had been, and such a situation could not scare him at all.
Jiajing has long changed his role and become a truly thunderous emperor. On the other hand, Yang Tinghe Dingsheng Civil Affairs Group, when he was in charge of the cabinet, has now been divided and its control over Jiajing is getting weaker and weaker. Therefore, even if Jiajing forcibly passed the resolution today, the opposition officials will have no choice.
However, if the imperial power is used to suppress ministers, it will damage the emperor's reputation, those civil servants will definitely make a big fuss about this matter. Some sinister scholars may even play with their pens and write a few crooked poems or unofficial historical articles that alludes to satirize, etc., that would be bad!
So Jiajing said nothing, his eyes swept across the audience coldly, and finally stopped on Zhang Cong. The latter was clever and immediately went out to work and said, "I think it is not wrong for the emperor to promote Duke Jingguo to be the prince!"
Jiajing was delighted, but Zhang Cong was sensible and considerate, nodded and smiled, "Let's say it to Zhang Qing's family."
Zhang Cong strode his scepter and bowed to the imperial seat. He glanced at his opposition officials as if nothing had happened and sneered: "I don't think there are three reasons for opposing the Duke. First, there is no precedent for our dynasty to be named kings in different surnames. This move violates the ancestral system. Second, the contribution made by Duke Jingguo is not as good as the founding generals, and it is not enough to be named kings. Third, Duke Jingguo is a professional and has made an exception to the title of Duke Guo as a civil servant. He must never violate the promotion."
As soon as Zhang Cong finished speaking, Hu Shining, the Minister of Justice, who had always been jealous of evil, retorted: "Does Lord Zhang think these three reasons are not enough?"
Zhang Cong said calmly: "Although the lower officials are foolish, they dare not agree."
"Bah, your Zhang Bingyong is just a flattering speculative villain. How dare you agree with all the lords?" Hu Shining even dared to scold King Ning in person, and it was no problem to scold Zhang Cong himself.
Although Zhang Cong was so cunning and patient, he was scolded as a flattering speculative villain in front of all officials, and his face turned red and white even more angry.
Jiajing raised his sword eyebrows and said coldly: "Is the Hu Qing family sarcastic about it? Is he a foolish monarch who only hears flattery?"
As soon as the big hat was tucked, Hu Shining's face changed slightly, and he quickly knelt down and apologized: "I don't dare!"
Jiajing said coldly: "If you dare to speak sarcastically and mock the king again, I will punish you for being a deceiving the king and drive you out!"
"Emperor... I have no intention of mocking the king!" Shangshu Hu shouted in grief and anger. The two guards in front of the palace had already driven him out of the hall half-standed.
In an instant, the silence in the hall was as dead as death, and everyone looked awesome. Finally, they refreshed their understanding of the methods of Emperor Jiajing. For a moment, no one dared to speak out again, so as not to be caught by Jiajing again, and then drove out of Wenhua Palace with an order.
Jiajing's fierce operation undoubtedly hit a group of opposition officials in the face, seriously hitting their morale and fighting spirit. Just like our Jia Ge Lao, the old waist that was originally straight and straight began to wilt, and there was a sign of premature ejaculation.
Jiajing said indifferently with a cold face: "Let's continue talking to Zhang Qing's family!"
Zhang Cong was naturally in a good mood at this moment. After all, the emperor stood up to save his face. He coughed lightly and woke up his spirits: "Your Majesty, as the saying goes, the more he argues, the more he becomes clearer the more he argues. I will refute the above three reasons for opposition one by one."
Jiajing nodded and praised: "Let's refute!"
