Zhu Youxiao said to the ministers: "Just after listening to Mr. Zhou, Sun Shangshu, Grand Scholar Liu and all of you, it seems that the clouds have suddenly cleared up and many details have been corrected."
These words are completely in line with what everyone said, and the purpose is to lift up the majority of people so that they will not be able to object for a while.
After hearing this, Sun Ruyou and Liu Yijing had some thoughts: Zhou Jiamo's last comment just now, why did he put him in the front, call him sir, and put me in the back? What's the deep meaning in this...
Zhu Youxiao is laughing in his heart, so he won't just end up arguing with you. I don't argue but I will throw smoke bombs. Since I like to speculate and make a fuss, let's guess~
He continued to narrate loudly: "The emperor's grandfather died of illness, and the emperor's father is ill again. The situation in the harem has been a bit strange recently. There are some who have neglected their duties, some who have committed crimes, some who spread rumors, and even outsiders who have entered the palace secretly..."
"Ah!?"
"Oh my God!"
The ministers were in an uproar. This situation is a bit too much.
"Ahem!" Taichang Emperor Zhu Changluo coughed after hearing this. How come he has never heard of these things? What tricks does his son want to do?
Yang Lian, who was relatively smart, suddenly widened his eyes and said "Ah!" along with the ministers.
He was not surprised that these things happened, because with Wang An's existence, he knew what was going on in the palace.
Surprisingly, I just thought that the prince was going to quarrel and lose his status.
I never expected that the prince would use this trick to muddy the waters!
He immediately looked at Wang An, who was standing next to Emperor Taichang, and asked with his eyes why he had not passed on this information.
Wang An was also confused and couldn't figure out why the prince spoke so exaggeratedly.
Zhu Youxiao did not give them time to react, and sighed deeply and continued: "Alas! After listening to what you said, I remembered that there was a palace official named He in the East Palace, and his remarks and plans were harmful to me, and I felt very terrible.
."
"Ah! There is such a person!" Many civil servants shuddered after hearing this.
Wang An suddenly remembered this matter. It was not like this at all before. It was clearly the prince who was asserting his authority to punish those who bullied him in the past...
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wang An before reacting, and smiled inwardly: This is called making trouble, aren't you and Dong Lin very good at it~
He continued his drama: "Poor father and I, we are crowded together in the East Palace and still have to be spied on, rumored, stolen, and even plotted against evil!
The vacancies in the court were filled, but the holes in the palace were widening. Not only inside the palace, but also outside the palace, there must be people responding, so thefts continued and private entry into the palace was prohibited."
"I propose to strengthen the security in the palace!"
"I propose to eliminate the villains in the palace!"
Several enthusiastic officials were very angry after hearing this and put forward suggestions one after another.
Zhou Jiamo, Liu Yijing, and Sun Ruyou, who had spoken most loudly just now, fell silent.
Something's wrong, something feels wrong!
How could Zhu Youxiao give them time to react? He started talking like a barrage of words: "My son, I remember that my father taught me to learn from Liu Bei of the Three Kingdoms. My father also admired Liu Bei's benevolence, righteousness and perseverance.
Therefore, my father and I always treat others with benevolence and righteousness in the palace. But in the current situation, we should learn from Liu Bei and govern Sichuan with strict laws after he entered Sichuan. It is not too late to make up for it. Please help me."
After hearing this, many newly promoted civil servants were very moved.
Everyone has heard that His Majesty knits straw sandals like Liu Bei, and is really like Liu Bei in terms of benevolence, righteousness and employing people. He is a top wise king in the eyes of many literati.
Now that Ming Jun is in trouble, or a bunch of villains in the harem are causing trouble, then we must support severely punishing them.
After all, those who want to pick up the plane and do things to "make a name for themselves" are in the minority. Seeing many ministers praising Taichang and responding to the prince's proposal, there is nothing that can be done.
Yang Lian could see what the prince was going to do, which was to revive Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and even military power!
It was not just him who could see it, but also the veterans of Wanli Tuogu.
Just now, they were worried that the prince would be rash and argue with the officials in person, but now it seems that there is no need to worry at all.
It's time to support the prince.
Huang Kezuan, the Minister of Punishment, was the first to stand up: "I believe that benevolence and righteousness go hand in hand with respect for pawns, and we must not have any accidents in the palace during the troubled years of the late emperor's reign."
Huang Jiashan, Secretary of the Ministry of War, also followed suit: "In the early years of Wanli, a minister of the royal family broke into the palace with a knife. Five years ago, Zhang Chai attacked his majesty and the prince with a wooden stick. The palace defense was too neglected. I asked you to strengthen the troops.
The defense is in the hands of His Majesty."
Fang Congzhe, the Chief Assistant to the Cabinet, and Li Ruhua, Minister of Household Affairs, also expressed their opinions, suggesting that security should be strengthened, especially to ensure the safety of His Majesty and the Crown Prince.
As the most important veterans of the dynasty, they immediately aroused discussions among others after speaking.
"This is as it should be."
"Is it possible? Using heavy codes to strengthen the palace troops... doesn't seem like a good idea."
"But the palace is really unstable."
"Why do I feel a little led astray..."
When they saw the four veterans speaking, everyone had different opinions. Some followed the train of thought and thought it was appropriate, while others thought it was different from what they had originally thought.
"Ahem." British Duke Zhang Weixian coughed and stood up.
He is powerful and prestigious, and he is the most prestigious martial artist. As soon as he comes out, he quiets down the whispering people.
"My ancestors fought bloody battles for the Ming Dynasty, and half a month ago I was entrusted by the late emperor to assist your majesty and the prince. Your majesty is a benevolent king, and the prince is a genius. If there is an evil person who causes trouble, I, the British prince, swear to fight him to the death!"
This heroic spirit shocked everyone. Although Wu Xun was suppressed by the civil servants, when it came time to protect the royal family, he really couldn't mess with them.
Liu Yijing and Zuo Guangdou originally wanted to refute the two ministers, but when they saw the British public's stance, they had to think carefully.
Zhang Weixian bowed to Emperor Taichang and said: "I request you to strengthen the guards in the palace and recruit soldiers from loyal and good families to supplement the guard strength of Ciqing Palace."
“I think it’s inappropriate!”
The Military Department spoke loudly to Yang Lian about the incident and stood up without fear.
British Duke Zhang Weixian looked a little unhappy, and everyone was sweating for Yang Lian.
However, Yang Lian said with a fearless face: "I think it is inappropriate to send more soldiers from the Beijing camp into the palace. We can send more troops to guard the palace gates and key points outside the palace."
It is true that he is brave and strong, but he is not reckless and impulsive.
In terms of calmness and wisdom, there are only three people in Donglin who can be above him. The content of his speech at this critical moment is very clever, which does not offend the British public, but can also reflect
He also spoke right at the end of the discussion on this topic. This is called ending with the peak and leaving the deepest impression on others.
"That's right! Don't enter the palace from the capital camp, just guard the city gate."
"In the palace, we still use Han generals or Nanhaizi Jingjun."
Yang Lian is a star figure among officials. Many officials respect and fear him. When he speaks, many people agree with him.
"What a courage~" Zhu Youxiao looked at Yang Lian. It was the first time today that he saw his appearance and courage. With such a person causing trouble, he could muddy the water even more.
British Duke Zhang Weixian thought about Yang Lian's words and didn't seem to object to him, but just made corrections. For a while, there was nothing to refute Yang Lian's words.
