Chapter 441: Cabinet meeting! Destroy this Japanese country!
Yingtian City, inside Wenyuan Pavilion.
Almost all government orders in the court are based on this.
In addition to the four cabinet bachelors in Beijing, Wenyuan Pavilion now also has many young clerical officials, mostly from the Hanlin Academy, who are responsible for assisting the cabinet in sorting out official documents and memorials.
In addition, there are also the General Affairs Department and the Pedestrian Affairs Department, each of which has sent people to be on duty in case the cabinet needs to make announcements.
It was still before dawn, but the candles in Wenyuan Pavilion had not been extinguished.
Behind the window sill was the young Gaoge Lao, who was resting on the soft couch with his eyes closed. This made the little chamberlain and the palace maid who had already come over to start sweeping the house move a little more lightly.
Zhu Yunxi, who had just ordered Gao Yangzhi to put down his state affairs and rest for a while, stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back.
Beside him was Zhu Gaochi, who had been raped and slipped over early in the morning.
Zhu Gaochi felt a little resentful. He didn't even have breakfast and didn't even visit the tax office before he was dragged to the cabinet by this man.
His hands hidden in his sleeves quietly rubbed his hungry belly.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the numerous palace walls and glazed tiles in front of him.
Because before dawn, with the faint light between the sky and the earth, it shows a different color than usual.
"Li Jinglong is a smart man."
Zhu Yunxi spoke softly, and then stretched his hand forward. Yu Tian, the manager of Taisun's Mansion, handed a portion of Luzhou chicken soup noodles with spicy sauce and pickles to Taisun's hand.
Zhu Yunxi took the prepared chicken soup noodles, spread his legs, and sat on the steps with his knees bent.
A sniffing sound reached Zhu Gaochi's ears, making him protest greatly in his heart.
Zhu Gaochi glanced at Yutian longingly. He just wanted to take a hot bite now. Who cares whether Cao Guogong Li Jinglong is smart or stupid.
Yutian nodded slightly and waved behind him. Someone came up with a food box. He took out a big bowl from it and carefully brought it to Prince Yan.
Yu Tian even reminded him in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the chef from Hunan Road just made the meat glutinous rice balls this morning. It's spicy, and the meat stuffing is mixed with bamboo shoots and water chestnuts."
Zhu Yunxi made another sniffing sound and tilted his head to look at Xiaopang: "Sit down, that cook from Hunan Province is very skilled. He also brought fried rice tofu and sausages this morning. Let's try them together."
With that said, Zhu Yunxi had already signaled Yutian to arrange the arrangements and take out the remaining food.
The size of the food box is very large, and it can be placed in front of Zhu Yunxi and the two of them, just enough to place the remaining dishes.
Zhu Gaochi took a sip of the soup in the meat dumpling bowl to wake up his stomach. He just ate a meat dumpling, and then two pieces of rice tofu and bacon, and then stopped temporarily.
"Don't you want to send a copy to Mr. Gaoge?"
Zhu Gaochi asked and continued to eat meat glutinous rice balls. The taste was indeed as Brother Xi said. The cook from Hunan Province was very good at cooking.
Zhu Yunxi squinted at Xiaopang, hummed twice, and then said: "He is almost going to live in the cabinet. He doesn't lack food, but rests."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi took two mouthfuls of the chicken soup noodles in his bowl. This stuff gets easy to cook over time, but the chicken soup was used well, and the green vegetables were shiny and crispy.
Putting the last broken piece of rice noodles at the bottom of the bowl into his mouth, Zhu Yunxi narrowed his eyes slightly: "Actually speaking, Brother Chi, you are the smartest."
"Let's talk about Li Jinglong."
Zhu Gaochi ate a few more meat dumplings without finishing them all, leaving some left on the food box. He looked helplessly at Zhu Yunxi beside him.
Zhu Yunxi also put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and waved his hand to signal Yutian and others to retreat.
When there was no one in front of him, Zhu Yunxi said: "Originally, I wanted to discuss the comprehensive management of the Japanese country in the near future and finalize the matter. Originally, I also thought that the court should find some excuse. But I didn't expect that,
Now Li Jiujiang is not only ahead of the imperial court, he has also prepared excuses for the imperial court."
Zhu Gaochi shook his head and frowned slightly: "I still think this matter is not simple."
"You will be subject to foreign military orders and some will not be."
Zhu Yunxi explained for Li Jinglong.
Zhu Gaochi still shook his head: "Li Jiujiang is a rule-abiding person. He doesn't know what the imperial court is most taboo about. Although his move is in line with your... imperial court's thoughts, it is also a real overstep of authority. The matter of national war
, how can he decide it alone?"
Zhu Yunxi was silent for a moment.
He knew very well what Xiaopang was thinking.
The imperial court needs a comprehensive strategy, or it needs to completely tear apart this layer of whitewashing, that is, the Ming Dynasty wants to fully invade the Japanese country. This is one thing.
It is another matter that Li Jinglong created conflicts and excuses to use all-out troops against Japan without the will of the imperial court.
Regardless of whether Li Jinglong's actions were consistent with the military and political direction of the imperial court, it was enough to convict him of overstepping his authority.
Even more seriously, he could be convicted of treason.
Procedural Justice.
The procedure must be fair.
Zhu Yunxi thought for a while, raised his hands and patted them gently.
Sun Cheng, the envoy of Fusi Town in Jinyiwei North Town, quietly walked over from behind the corridor with people.
Behind him, there were two more royal guards carrying wooden boxes.
Zhu Gaochi was a little surprised. He didn't know when Sun Cheng arrived here.
Sun Cheng, who had brought the people over, went to the side and bowed and saluted: "Your Highness."
Zhu Yunxi waved his hand: "Show everything to Prince Yan for inspection."
Sun Cheng nodded, turned around and ordered his subordinates to bring the wooden box to Zhu Gaochi's eyes.
With hesitation in his eyes, Zhu Gaochi took the wooden box and opened one of them first. Inside the wooden box were sealed documents. Looking at the marks on them, these were the most confidential matters of the Ming Dynasty.
Holding the wooden box in his hand, he couldn't help turning his head and looking sideways at Zhu Yunxi, wondering if he was qualified to check it.
Zhu Yunxi smiled: "Let's take a look. Now that we have decided to destroy the Japanese country, there is nothing we can't see."
Zhu Gaochi hummed, turned around and took out all the secrets from the wooden box.
He was sitting on the steps of the corridor reading the secret, while Zhu Yunxi raised his palm and supported his cheek.
All around, the servants in charge of cleaning the palace had begun to leave Wenyuan Pavilion. The noise from the market outside the palace was also faintly transmitted into the palace.
In the eyes of ordinary people, today's Ming Dynasty is another calm and peaceful day.
However, most people do not know that the country is planning to destroy the country and is gathering the strength of the entire country for the benefit of the people of the world.
The government is like this, the people's livelihood is like this, everyone performs their duties.
In the corridor, Zhu Gaochi flipped through the pages faster and faster, and he kept making sounds of exclamation or surprise.
After reading the secrets in the first wooden box, Zhu Gaochi let out a sigh and did not look at the secrets in the second wooden box again. His expression became extremely solemn.
"In this way, at this time, regardless of whether the Ming Dynasty needs to comprehensively control the Japanese country, it must take action..."
Zhu Gaochi's eyes kept turning, obviously thinking about various possibilities.
Zhu Yunxi nodded and said: "Originally, the territory of Japan was divided between the Southern and Northern Dynasties for many years. At that time, the Yoshino family of the Southern Dynasty was already in dire straits and could be destroyed by the Northern Dynasty at any time.
It was us, the Ming Dynasty, who sent troops to sit in Ishimi and cooperated with the Yoshino family of the Southern Dynasty to maintain the situation of the Northern and Southern Japan. We took the opportunity to occupy various gold and silver mines, mine them and ship them back.
The Japanese are not fools. Do they really have no idea what the Ming Dynasty has gained from the Japanese country in the past few years?
Without the emergence of Ming Dynasty, they may continue to fight life and death. But now the existence of Ming Dynasty is a person who interferes with both the Yoshino family and the Ashikaga family.
Naturally, Daming will take the lead and become their subconscious first choice enemy. None of them can drive Daming away alone, so they can only choose to temporarily unite. Only by driving Daming away first can they have a chance to obtain the Iwami Silver Mine and the
That treasure island.”
"The Japanese country must be destroyed! The dignity of Ming Dynasty cannot be lost!"
Suddenly, besides Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Gaochi, there was another voice.
The two raised their heads and saw that Ren Hengtai and others were already standing in front of the corridor, and the person who spoke was none other than Xu Yungong, a bachelor of Wuying Palace, Duke of Wei, and the governor of the governor's palace.
Seeing Zhu Yunxi raise his head, Xu Yungong immediately clasped his fists and bowed: "I made a mistake, please excuse me. But I think that since the Japanese country has a disobedient heart now, the northern and southern dynasties are facing each other openly, but they are secretly communicating with each other, and their intentions are
Unruly. Now that our government is aware of it, we should nip this hidden danger in the bud as soon as possible to show that our great power is majestic and cannot be coveted by all parties!"
Ren Hengtai coughed lightly, probably because there was still some left in his throat after eating this morning.
He bowed and looked at the emperor's grandson sitting on the steps in the corridor, and from the corner of his eye he glanced lightly at Xu Yungong beside him.
Then, Ren Hengtai said: "I believe that the imperial court is currently under the new policy. The founding father is commanding the southern expedition army in the south, and the battle is fierce every day. On the Nine-Border Great Wall, there are always enemies and enemies charging at each other. The Yellow River is overhauled, the navy warships are newly built, and cement
Road paving.
The imperial court attaches great importance to the affairs of the country, and all matters involving the military, state, and country should be considered comprehensively and the first priority should be to stabilize the Ming Dynasty.
The Japanese country has a disobedient heart, and this traitor cannot stay for a long time. The imperial court now holds great righteousness, and everyone knows that the fault lies with the Japanese country, not the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty used great righteousness to fight against the Japanese, and God will tell you.
However, to conquer the Japanese country, the country mobilized tens of thousands of troops and horses, as well as countless grain and grass supplies, and marched across the sea. The soldiers traveled far away and would be outside. If something went wrong, what would happen to the court and what would happen to the new government.
I believe that for the current plan, the imperial court should first spread the word to the world and learn about the ambitions of the Japanese bandits. Then the various ministries and departments of the imperial court will dispatch officials to supervise the expedition against the Japanese bandits. When the troops and horses gather, food and grass will be sent first.
I will use all my strength to crush the Japanese bandits, and I will do my best with all my strength."
The opinion of the chief minister of the cabinet was the same as that of Wei Guogong. They both stood in the position that Ming Dynasty must conquer Japan.
However, as the chief minister of the cabinet, Ren Hengtai thinks more, which is enough to show that as the chief minister of the cabinet, he is capable enough to run the court.
Zhu Yunxi blinked and said with a smile: "Come here, it's stuffy in the room. I called Mr. Gaoge, and then he brought the chair out. I will discuss it in this pavilion today."
The officials on the cabinet side were very agile. Without the help of the palace servants, they had already rushed inside to wake up Gao Yangzhi and moved enough chairs and stools out.
Wait until everyone is seated.
Xie Jin then spoke first: "To conquer the Japanese country, we must first ask Duke Cao Guo what the situation is on his side. In this way, the DPRK and China can make arrangements calmly."
As soon as he heard Xie Jin talking about Li Jinglong, Ren Hengtai's face looked a little unhappy.
But now the Ming Dynasty is about to conquer and manage the Japanese country. After thinking about it, the position of General of the Conquest of the East has to be taken by Li Jinglong. Before the Japanese country is completely pacified, Li Jinglong's position will be as stable as Mount Tai.
Not to mention, Li Jinglong still has deep support in the DPRK.
Now that the law of military merit is being revived, all the meritorious generals, officers and soldiers throughout the dynasty are eager to gain first-level military merit in exchange for the qualification to be crowned king.
Gao Yangzhi rubbed his eyes: "I think it won't be long before Duke Cao Guo returns with a memorial. Now maybe the court can discuss the matter of food, grass, soldiers and horses first?"
Xu Yungong took over: "The Governor's Office can prepare for the mobilization of troops and horses at any time. With 30,000 to 50,000 troops and horses, the court can prepare them in just one month."
"As for the money and food needed for the army, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of War, as well as Hangzhou Prefecture and Huai'an Prefecture, can complete the preparations in at most one month."
Xie Jin responded, then looked at Chief Assistant Ren Hengtai inquiringly.
Ren Hengtai nodded: "The Ministry of Household Affairs will supervise the transfer of money and food, which can be sent from Huai'an Prefecture by navy warships to the Japanese anti-Japanese army."
Next, several people discussed in detail about the mobilization of troops and horses, how much money, food and weapons should be used, how much money, food and weapons should be used, how much should be mobilized, and when should supplies be shipped to the Japanese country after the war started.
Several Hanlins were holding pens and papers at the side, and their pens kept recording the discussions of the cabinet ministers.
It was only when it became very hot outside that the foreheads of several people in the photo were sweating that the cabinet meeting came to an end.
Zhu Yunxi stood up with his hands on his knees: "The Ming Dynasty does not want to go to war. The Ming Dynasty really hopes to join hands with the countries of the four directions to achieve peace."
Zhu Gaochi moved the stool under him, silently rolled his eyes at Zhu Yunxi who had already started to perform, and squatted on the steps behind him.
Zhu Yunxi looked solemn: "If all countries want peace, the Ming Dynasty is willing to help. However, today, the Japanese country has ambitions and covets the Central Plains in a small area. It is really arrogant and arrogant. Attack our naval fleet and steal our court.
Gold and silver. Secretly colluded with each other, intending to strangle me and head east to protect the peace of the Japanese country and suppress the Japanese army.
Today, the Japanese bandits are unkind and unjust, and the royal way of the Ming Dynasty cannot be carried out, so we should suppress them with domineering force!"
Ren Hengtai and others stood up with fists clasped.
"I will strictly abide by the religious orders and swear to the death to safeguard the majesty of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Yunxi responded with a cold eyebrow: "All ministries and departments should supervise the affairs, and all military camps should be mobilized to destroy this Japanese country!"
