Chapter 610: The Gathering of Wenchen, Zhu Zhuo's Words
Chapter 610: Civil servants gather, Zhu Zhuo’s words
Lin'an!
Inside Zhu Zhuo's mansion! Zhu Zhuo, Tang Si Tui, Chen Kangbo and others, who were the original leaders of the peace faction, were all there.
However, this time in addition to the people from the Lord and faction, there were also many other civil servants in the court.
There are even some people who are obviously the main militant faction here.
"My lord, now that we, the civil servants, are about to be in catastrophe, please make the decision for us."
The person who spoke was none other than Wu Yufeng!
He never imagined that something that was originally extremely safe would end up in this situation except for mistakes.
Today, the people in the court are basically headed by Zhang Jun and Shi Hao.
However, Zhang Jun was originally a military commander, so he naturally couldn't count on it.
Shi Hao is a civil servant, and judging from his performance in the past few days, he is leaning towards them.
However, Shi Hao and Zhang Jun are on good terms, and no one knows which side he will side with at the last minute.
Therefore, after a group of people secretly contacted each other, they finally arrived at Zhu Zhuo's mansion.
Although many people had divided themselves into two factions with Zhu Zhuo and others before, but if the conflict between the peace faction and the war faction was just a small conflict, then the civil and military struggle was a life-and-death battle! These generals were outnumbered by their civil servants by one or two hundred
Years later, once they turn around, not only will they have no way out, but even their descendants and their family will be in doom.
In this case, not even the emperor can do it!
Looking at the courtiers in front of him, Zhu Zhuo sneered in his heart!
When the main war faction had the upper hand, who would care about him?
Now, the main war faction is unreliable and has come to us again.
If these useless things didn't have some use, he wouldn't even bother to pay attention to them.
"My lords, I have been serving as an official for a long time. Now I am just fighting against the sky to survive for a few more days. How can I help you lords?"
Zhu Zhuo said calmly.
"Sir, you are the leader of our civil servants. Now His Majesty actually wants to kill the civil servants. How can you ignore it?
If the bosses don't care about it, then we, the civil servants, will be in great trouble and never get ahead."
"Please help me, sir!"
"Sir, please don't sit back and watch!"
These people naturally knew Zhu Zhuo's ability and energy. As long as he stood up and waved the flag, even His Majesty would be afraid of him.
Why hasn't it been used again since Zhu Zhuo resigned as prime minister?
It's not that Zhu Zhuo is incompetent, on the contrary, it's because Zhu Zhuo is so capable that if he stood in the court, even the emperor would be somewhat constrained.
Therefore, at this critical moment of life and death, these people had no other choice but to pray for Zhu Zhuo to take action.
Moreover, nowadays, only Zhu Zhuo can lead the vast majority of civil servants. Others are not qualified and do not have this prestige.
"Why!"
Zhu Zhuo sighed softly, "I am just an old man who has been through life now. Even if he is willing to stand up and speak for you adults, how many people are willing to listen?"
When everyone heard this, they were immediately overjoyed.
"When the boss speaks, all of us must obey!"
"Yes, we are all the boss's pawns!"
Everyone speaks out!
Zhu Zhuo squinted his eyes, saw everyone's expressions, and finally nodded slightly, "Hey, since it's your invitation, I can only scream a few times with all my strength. However, this matter is not easy, I still hope
All of you, my lords, can work together, otherwise, if things don’t work out, it will be no wonder that we are old and decrepit.”
"Don't worry, Sir, we only follow your orders!"
Everyone said in unison.
"good!"
Zhu Zhuo nodded.
After a moment of silence, he began to say, "You guys just lack experience and knowledge. Many of you are fooling around with Zhang Jun and Shi Hao.
Until now, it has ended up in this situation."
"Do you really think that I have always advocated peace for my own benefit or because I am afraid of those barbarians?"
"I have nothing else to pursue in my life. First, I want peace and prosperity for my country and people. Second, I want the prosperity of our Song Dynasty.
Protecting the country with literature and seeking peace with literature, this is an old-fashioned insistence."
"Those barbarians did some harm to our country, the Song Dynasty.
However, with those barbarians, could we still destroy the Song Dynasty?
However, once those generals gain power, they can change the dynasty."
"You guys are also people who have read a lot of history books.
When you know that the Tang Dynasty was defeated, it was at the hands of those generals.
After that, for decades, dynasties changed and vassal states were established. At which time were those generals not in danger?"
"Besides, you won't forget how we founded the Song Dynasty, right?"
"Military generals can be used, but they can only become pawns in the hands of our civil servants, otherwise, the world will be in chaos!"
"If we continue to wage war with the barbarians, it will only be a matter of time before the generals gain power!"
"That Zhang Jun was originally just a general.
However, with the war between Song and Jin, he has now become a top presence in the court.
If this continues, even if His Majesty does not take action against our civil servants, how much position will I have in the court?"
"This time the chaos in Fulu, Chengdu, was just a matter of Tubo people seeking wealth.
Women can settle this matter by giving up some financial resources, but now the two countries are at war."
"This battle not only made life difficult for the people, but also gave those generals an opportunity to make contributions.
No one knows whether another Zhang Jun will appear after this war.
When that time comes, will there still be a place for you in the court?"
Zhu Zhuo's words left everyone dumbfounded and some in ecstasy!
"Sir, what do you think we should do?"
Someone asked.
Zhu Zhuo pondered for a moment, and then said calmly, "First, of course, we have to find a way to keep Geng Wang.
A Geng Wang is certainly not worth mentioning, but the sword that kills civil servants cannot be sharpened."
"Sir, Your Majesty has made up his mind to kill Geng Wang.
It was Geng Wang who made a fool of himself and was caught by His Majesty.
Now we are asking each other, but His Majesty does not agree."
"So what if His Majesty doesn't approve?
This world is not just your Majesty’s world!”
Zhu Zhuo said domineeringly.
"Although Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, you must ultimately abide by the words of your ancestors.
Otherwise, if even the ancestral system could be changed, wouldn't it mean that the world would be in chaos?
You can use Taizu's ancestral system to restrain His Majesty and make His Majesty change his holy will."
"What if Your Majesty still insists on his own opinion?"
someone asked.
Zhu Zhuo chuckled lightly, "If Your Majesty follows the ancestral rules, we naturally dare not say anything more. But if you violate the ancestral rules, everyone in the world has the responsibility to persuade Your Majesty. As ministers, we will bear the brunt."
"As for how to persuade...have you forgotten His Majesty's identity?"
