When waiting for the court the next day, the well-informed Minister Gong had already heard that the King of Han would replace Liu Sheng and become the Governor-General of Shandong to suppress the rebellion. When the news spread from the mouths of the well-informed people, and more people learned about it,
There was an explosion immediately outside Xiyuan Gate! The censor in charge of the morning order shouted at the top of his lungs for everyone to be quiet, but no one paid attention.
Everyone did not hide the shock, frustration, horror, or surprise on their faces. They loudly discussed that the King of Han was about to make a comeback again, and speculated on the future development of the situation - the adults in the imperial court in the capital were in a high position, and everyone
Everyone knows that the White Lotus Sect is just a stepping stone for the King of Han to return to the stage! I am afraid that after the King of Han quells the rebellion, Shandong will always be his independent kingdom!
After all, at least one thing is the consensus of the king and ministers, that is, the prince is in danger and the grandson is in danger. Although there are no immediate worries, there must be long-term worries!
Suddenly, everything became quiet outside the Xiyuan Gate because the princes and ministers saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Grand Sun getting out of the car and appearing in front of everyone.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Grand Sun!" All the ministers hurriedly saluted politely, but some people seemed to be gloating about misfortune in their eyes.
Zhu Zhanji nodded to everyone and hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhu Gaochi. Zhu Gaochi glanced at Zhu Zhanji and saw the dark circles under his eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Have you thought about it?"
Zhu Zhanji shook his head with some difficulty and said nothing.
The prince did not speak any more, and with the support of Zhu Zhanji, he slowly came to his place and stood.
At this time, the bells and drums in the Xiyuan were ringing, and the Xiyuan gate slowly opened. The ministers quickly tidied up their appearance, lined up with their hands lowered, entered the palace gate, and stood in order under the Danqi of the Showa Palace. Before the completion of the three main halls, Zhu Di
It was here that the government was held before the court. The three main halls were burned down just after they were opened. Naturally, the place where the court was held was moved back to Xiyuan...
After the whip was sounded, the ceremonial guards were ready, and the emperor ascended to the throne amid the sound of Shao music.
After some fussing, the ministers began to report important matters. In fact, the state machinery had developed to the Ming Dynasty, and more than a thousand matters were summarized to the central government every day. If they all needed to be reported to the emperor in the morning, the emperor would be exhausted and would not be able to finish it. So.
Most regular government affairs are handled by the six ministries, and major military and state affairs are discussed in a small area by the emperor convening relevant ministers in the inner palace. As for the morning court, it has long become a ritual to govern the people on behalf of the emperor. Only the most important matters will be held in the morning court.
Discussion. And it was a symbolic discussion, because the emperor and his ministers had already made up their minds before the early dynasty...
In the morning of the morning, Song Li, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, first went out to report to the emperor that the Ministry of Industry had drawn up a design and budget plan for rebuilding the three main halls, and he requested the emperor to review it. Naturally, Zhu Di had known about it for a long time, and said with a gloomy expression: "Nian."
So Song Li read the memorial out to the court. When he heard that the project cost was about 30 million taels of silver, everyone took a breath of air and then looked at Xia Yuanji, who was skinny and had white hair and beard.
After Zhu Di patiently listened to the memorial, he asked Xia Yuanji: "When will the money be raised?"
"Report to Your Majesty, at least three years." Xia Yuanji said calmly: "It will take three years to raise the initial funds in place."
The compromise reached by the two of them was just scripted at the moment.
"Does that mean construction can start in three years?" Zhu Di said with a wistful expression, "I will have at least six years to go to court here?"
"Yes." Xia Yuanji nodded and said slowly: "Your Majesty also knows that the treasury is starved of food and the people of all directions are exhausted. The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry have spent three years raising funds and preparing materials. It is already a huge emergency and cannot be done any faster."
"Then let's do this..." Although it was expected, Zhu Di was still angry, with a strong anger on his face. He slapped the dragon chair heavily and said: "This is all an innocent disaster caused by the White Lotus Demon! That Buddha Mother
Burning my treasure palace, the White Lotus Sect disrupting our Shandong, and still going unpunished, and even founding the country and becoming the king, is unbearable!" As Zhu Di raised his voice, he shouted sternly: "I will crush him into powder before I can vent my heart.
Hate!"
After listening to the emperor's words, King Zhao glanced at the new Minister of War, Zhao Wei.
"Your Majesty," Zhao He hurriedly went out to report: "Anyuan Marquis Liu Sheng was afraid of the enemy and fought cowardly, and refused to obey the orders. Now it has been ten days, but he still did not move. I request you to punish him severely and set an example! And send brave and good warriors."
Minister Wang will take my place!"
"Zhao Shangshu, don't talk nonsense!" Xue Lu, the Marquis of Yangwu, quit and pointed at Zhao Wen and said, "The Marquis Anyuan is not resisting the decree, but has a different battle plan!"
"Yes," Zhu Yong also answered: "Anyuan Hou has already informed the Emperor Ming that he hopes for another month of grace, and has also issued a military order. Victory will surely be achieved in one month, so how can it be regarded as resisting the decree?!"
"This..." Zhao Wan was speechless for a moment and couldn't help but glance at King Zhao.
King Zhao also frowned secretly. He did not expect that these princes and princes were silent in the study yesterday, but this morning they all got angry together!
After a second thought, King Zhao understood the intention of these old foxes. Yesterday, the emperor was angry, and no matter how hard they tried to persuade him, it would be counterproductive. It would be better to wait all night for the emperor to calm down before trying to persuade him again.
However, King Zhao was not too worried, because the decree had already been drawn up and sealed, and the emperor's willful character would never change it overnight! So he pursed his lips and shook his head slightly at Zhao Wan, signaling him to calm down and watch.
The play is.
"I have given him enough time before," Sure enough, Zhu Di spoke up, and the emperor said with a gloomy face: "Besides, my decree is clearly written, and he is limited to sending troops within ten days, otherwise he will give up. Now since he still has
If you don’t do anything, you must abdicate and make way for someone more capable!”
"Your Majesty, please think twice!" Zhu Yong persuaded bravely: "The so-called generals will not accept your orders. Sometimes, only the generals on the front line know the situation best. Maybe a month later, the situation in Shandong will change drastically.
Maybe!"
"Humph!" Zhu Di snorted coldly: "You also said 'maybe', but I also said maybe it won't show up!" He said with an unhappy face: "I am not an unreasonable person, if Liu Shengyan
It's reasonable, how could I not consider his suggestion? But that guy dared to disobey the order without even mentioning a word about the reason, and even asked me to wait another month! He doesn't take me seriously!"
When Zhu Di was talking to the two princes, the prince kept looking at his grandson, but Zhu Zhanji only lowered his head and did not raise his head to look at the prince at all.
"Your Majesty!" Xue Lu said quickly: "Liu Sheng didn't say the reason. There must be a reason that he can't tell. Maybe his method won't work once others know it..."
"Maybe, maybe," Zhu Di interrupted Xue Lu rudely and shouted in a deep voice: "You dare to use your head as a guarantee? You can win in a month?! Do you dare?!"
"This..." Xue Lu was stunned for a moment, then said bravely: "I dare you."
"It's useless if you dare, your head is as light as a feather compared to my Shandong!" Zhu Di said with a dark face.
"How about adding the heads of the ministers?" Before the emperor finished speaking, a kind and firm voice sounded.
The ministers looked at the sound and saw that if it wasn't His Highness the Crown Prince, who was it?!
"You?!" Seeing the prince speak, Zhu Di was stunned for a moment. Over the past six months, the prince has been so quiet that the emperor almost forgot his existence...
All the ministers were also stunned, never expecting that His Highness the Crown Prince would speak out at this juncture!
A hint of panic finally appeared in King Zhao's eyes. He bit his lower lip tightly and looked at the prince bitterly.
Only His Highness Taisun still lowers his head. If you look up from below, you will see the corners of his mouth that are obviously raised...
You could hear a pin drop in front of Showa-den, and the only sound was the rustle of flags blown by the wind.
"What do you mean?!" Seeing the prince jumping out, Zhu Di looked gloomy and scary, and asked coldly: "If Liu Sheng cannot win in a month, will you let me kill his son with my own hands? Are you tired of living?
Sorry, I don’t want to bear that reputation yet.”
"My son will definitely not, because I firmly believe that Liu Sheng will definitely win!" Zhu Gaochi said without being humble or arrogant: "If Liu Sheng cannot win by then, I don't need my father to take action, I can just kill myself!"
"You said this yourself." Zhu Di stared at the prince like a poisonous snake.
"Yes. Above the court, ministers will not dare to play tricks!" The prince nodded.
All the princes and ministers were dumbfounded. They really didn't expect that such a crazy situation would occur in this court meeting - His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually vouched for Liu Sheng with his own life, and the Emperor actually seemed to intend to agree to the Crown Prince!
"Your Highness, be careful what you say!" Jian Yi was stunned, and without caring about etiquette, he immediately left the class and shouted: "Please take back what you just said immediately!"
"Yes, Your Highness, these words are unacceptable!" All the princes also tried to persuade him.
"You don't need to persuade me. I've already made up my mind, so it's useless to persuade me." His Royal Highness just shook his head and ignored everyone's advice.
"In this case, I have no choice but to obey His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's order." Zhu Di hated the prince's saintly appearance the most, and gritted his teeth and said: "If Liu Sheng still can't win in a month, I won't take your life and take off your hat of prince.
Just come down and take the blame!"
"Ah!" All the ministers were stunned, thinking, isn't this worse than killing the prince?
"That's how it should be." The prince nodded and said, "You are unworthy of being a king by talking nonsense and being gullible. My father can take advantage of this and choose someone wiser."
"Okay!" Zhu Di patted the dragon chair and said, "That's it, it's a deal!"
"According to the order!" Regardless of the desperate attempts of the ministers to dissuade him, the prince nodded and returned to his original position.
The rest of the court meeting was boring, everyone was thinking about their own concerns... King Zhao looked at the prince, the grandson, and Zhu Di. Suddenly he seemed to understand something, and his frowning eyebrows relaxed, and the corners of his mouth
Put on a sarcastic smile.
The ministers looked at the prince with worry, but Zhu Gaochi stood there as motionless as a mountain. When the next court came, Zhu Zhanji hurried over to help his father, and the prince allowed him to help him and walked out of the Xiyuan Palace gate. Enter
Before getting into the car, Zhu Gaochi said softly: "Now, it's up to you, right?"
Zhu Zhanji felt hot all over and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl under - it turned out that the prince had already seen through his mind! For mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
