Chapter five hundred and ninety-six wonderful flowers on the court
He is just a small Qin Tian Jian Zheng. How can He De be mixed between the Emperor and Chu Yi?
If given the choice, Lin Ruoshi would definitely resign as soon as possible.
Zhu Houzhao, who was dressed in a dragon robe, was sitting on a high dragon chair, looking down at the civil and military officials below who were shouting long live, and he was naturally very excited.
With his eyes focused, Zhu Houzhao went straight to the main topic of the day without saying any nonsense.
All fools know that the army returned to the court after victory yesterday, and today the main event of the court meeting will naturally be to reward the soldiers of the three armies. Even some of the less important matters, the officials have no intention of reporting them to the emperor at the court meeting.
Looking at the people below, Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice: "My lords, more than a year ago, since Chu Yi led the army across the ocean to attack Japan, hundreds of thousands of soldiers have fought bloody battles and finally completely pacified the land of Japan.
The land of Japan has been included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers have made great contributions."
Many civil and military officials showed excitement on their faces. After all, Japan was destroyed and the land of Japan was taken over. Japan was a country that had been inherited for thousands of years, but now it was destroyed in one fell swoop and directly included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty. It is conceivable that based on this alone,
If something happens, they may go down in history.
So at this moment, all the officials who knew this in their hearts looked at Chu Yi with admiration.
Although Chu Yi is a servant, everything Chu Yi has done will definitely be remembered in history. As for whether his reputation is good or bad, it depends on whether the Emperor of Tomorrow can be as wise as ever.
Suppress those scholars who can be called corrupt scholars.
Otherwise, once these rotten scholars gain the right to speak, it goes without saying that what Chu Yi will leave behind in history is not a good name, but an infamy.
Seemingly inspired by the emperor's words, an official from King Wu's party stood up and saluted the emperor: "Your Majesty, I sincerely request you to convert Dongying into a county, and the imperial court will directly arrange for officials to go there to educate and enlighten the emperor."
Let the local people become naturalized and become our subjects of the Ming Dynasty, forever benefiting from the Emperor's grace."
There has been a debate in the court about the arrangement of the Japanese land. As expected, as soon as the official of the King Wu Party opened his mouth, an official jumped out and pointed at the official of the King Wu Party and shouted: "
Li Qi, you are so brave, you actually tempted the emperor to violate Taizu's instructions, do you know your guilt?"
This is Chen Xuan, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites. Chen Xuan is nearly sixty years old. He is not greedy or possessive. He usually invites three or five friends to chat about everything. He calls himself a breeze with two sleeves. He is not afraid of even the royal guards in the court.
.
Chen Xuan roared at the official as soon as he opened his mouth. However, Chen Xuan seemed to be roaring at the official, but more of his attention was on Chu Yi and the Emperor.
Chu Yi glanced at Chen Xuan lightly and frowned slightly.
Chen Xuan shouted loudly to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Japan is a country established by Emperor Taizu without conquest. The leader of Japan does not understand the general situation and offends our great power. As the king of a country, your majesty sends someone to teach him a lesson."
That’s it, isn’t it going against Taizu’s ancestral precepts to destroy his country?”
Chu Yi just stood aside, looking at Chen Xuan, but he was not in a hurry to say anything. At this moment, the Wuwang Party official who was scolded by Chen Xuan couldn't help but said to Chen Xuan: "Master Chen, if it is according to your opinion,
, how will Ming Dynasty deal with Japan?"
Chen Xuan kept talking, with a bit of complacency on his face, as if shining with holy brilliance: "I sincerely request your Majesty to establish a new king for Japan to inherit his country. In this way, we will not lose the style of our heavenly kingdom...
…”
"Ah, fuck you, have you lost your mind in reading? You can even say such a thing. If Saint Kong were still alive, I'm afraid he would kill you with a sword, you rotten scholar!"
Chu Yi suddenly pointed at Chen Xuan and cursed angrily. In everyone's impression, Chu Yi rarely got angry, and even when he did, he was quite restrained. Now he actually pointed at Chen Xuan and cursed loudly. It can be imagined that Chu Yi
Yi was very angry.
Chen Xuan was immediately stunned by Chu Yi's scolding. Not to mention Chen Xuan, even the civil and military officials and even the emperor present had dull expressions on their faces when Chu Yi suddenly cursed, as if they were being scolded.
Chu Yi was frightened.
Chen Xuan is quite popular among civil and military officials, especially Chen Xuan is not the only official who holds the same idea as Chen Xuan.
At this moment, Chen Xuan was so scolded by Chu Yi, but it made several Chen Xuan's friends angry.
Chen Xuan is neither greedy nor possessive, and has no problems with his personal ethics. There are many officials who are the same as him. Now seeing Chen Xuan being scolded by Chu Yi, several officials actually stood up and criticized Chu Yi.
Said: "Chu Yi, you have so bewitched the emperor and made him resort to war. Aren't you afraid that the emperor will follow in the footsteps of the Han Dynasty?"
In the eyes of these corrupt scholars, Han Wu was not a wise monarch, but a militaristic monarch.
Chu Yi couldn't help but laugh, glanced at Chen Xuan and others with disdain, and sneered: "If your Majesty is really as famous as Han Wu, Chu will die in peace!"
Chen Xuan said loudly: "Chu Yi, if you confuse the emperor like this, aren't you afraid that you will be infamy for thousands of years?"
Chu Yi shook his head, looked at Chen Xuan and said: "Sir Chen, according to the investigation of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, Mr. Chen has been an official for many years, but he has never been greedy or possessive. The civil and military officials in the DPRK and China are comparable to Mr. Chen.
But it’s very little…”
The reason why Chen Xuan dared to confront Chu Yi so unscrupulously was because he had no leverage in Chu Yi's hands.
If there is really any dirty foundation, Chen Xuan definitely cannot be so arrogant.
Seeing Chen Xuan's smug look, Chu Yi sneered and said: "In the second year of Zhengde, Mr. Chen was appointed as the prefect of Laiyang, and he was the parent official of millions of people. It coincided with the outbreak of Laiyang that year.
The drought has left tens of thousands of people in poverty and numerous casualties. Chen Xuan, do you know your guilt?"
Chen Xuan raised his head and said: "I am not guilty. During my tenure in Laiyang, I was neither greedy nor occupying, nor did I condone my slaves to cause harm to the village. What can you do to me, Chu Yi?"
Chu Yi laughed loudly and said coldly: "What a person who is neither corrupt nor occupying. It is true that you have not harmed the place like those corrupt officials. However, you can only talk about it when you are in office. You have never cared about the government affairs.
After dealing with it, you did not bring any trouble to the people. However, as a parent official, you did not care about the people's livelihood and the disaster, and you did not care about the disaster. Your behavior is worse than those of corrupt officials.
, ten times more hateful, a hundred times more hateful."
Facing Chu Yi's accusation, Chen Xuan looked a little pale and said in a trembling voice: "You... you are trying to incriminate me. I have never harmed the people. You slander me like this, and I don't accept it!"
"Corrupt officials are indeed hateful, but officials like you who do nothing are just as hateful. Your inaction is even more hateful than those corrupt officials."
Being told such a responsibility by Chu Yi, Chen Xuan's face was covered with sweat, and he gritted his teeth and insisted: "I'm right!"
Chu Yi shouted loudly: "Whether you are wrong or not, the hundreds of people in Laiyang who died because of your inaction will be judged by themselves."
At this time, Zhu Houzhao said in a deep voice: "Come here, take off Chen Xuan's court clothes, send him to prison, and order the Jinyi Guards and Dongchang to investigate how many people Chen Xuan's inaction has harmed."
Chen Xuan's expression changed. Seeing several imperial guards coming forward, he couldn't help but said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I don't accept it, I don't accept it..."
Many people watched Chen Xuan being dragged away by the guards, with a look of shock on their faces.
In everyone's opinion, there are not many officials like Chen Xuan who are not greedy and do not take advantage of others. I thought that no matter how cruel Chu Yi is, there is nothing he can do against Chen Xuan and others. At least Chu Yi is quite disciplined.
, never broke the rules and used other means to deal with them.
But at this moment, Chen Xuan was taken away by the imperial guards. While many officials were shocked, many people lowered their heads and looked thoughtful. Obviously, Chu Yi's previous words had brought great influence to these civil and military officials.
Big shock.
There is a saying that it is good not to do something, but it is wrong to do more, so some officials who cherish their own feathers are not greedy at all, nor do they condone domestic slaves to harm one party. However, these people enter the officialdom and hold high positions but they do not do what they do.
That’s a good statement.
"I'm not convinced..."
It seemed that Chen Xuan's unwilling voice still echoed in the hall.
Zhu Houzhao looked around and looked at the civil and military practitioners: "If you have any better strategies, you might as well speak up."
There was silence everywhere. Those officials who agreed to incorporate Japan into the Ming Dynasty were naturally hoping that no one would object. Now that the emperor had made it clear that he wanted to incorporate Japan into the Ming Dynasty, they were naturally not in a hurry.
As for the many civil servants Wu Xun who had repeatedly opposed the inclusion of Japan in the court, they were silenced by Chen Xuan's fate.
Among them, people like Chen Xuan who don't have any dirty background are only a minority after all, and they all have some problems.
Although these problems are not big, they cannot even shake their foundation. However, even Chen Xuan was charged with inaction by Chu Yi and investigated for the number of deaths and injuries of many people caused by his inaction.
Even a fool knows that if they jump out at this moment, I'm afraid their fate will not be much better, and they may even be taken away by the imperial guards like Chen Xuan.
The hall was quiet and silent for a moment.
After almost a dozen breaths passed, Emperor Zhu Houzhao glanced at the ministers with majestic eyes and said solemnly: "If no one objects, then the deal with Japan will be decided."
As he spoke, Zhu Houzhao looked at the chief minister of the cabinet, Yang Yiqing, and several other cabinet ministers: "The division of counties and counties and the transfer of officials will be left to your families."
Yang Yiqing and other cabinet ministers quickly agreed to the emperor's request.
Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly. The disposal plan for Japan was finally decided. Zhu Houzhao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Chu Yi quietly. Zhu Houzhao found that Chu Yi didn't seem to have any objections to his arrangement, and he was naturally very happy.
For contentment.
While speaking, Zhu Houzhao said to the chamberlain beside him: "It is said that Zhai Luan, Qi Jingtong and other meritorious soldiers should enter the palace to receive their titles!"
Suddenly, all the civil and military officials in the main hall looked towards the entrance of the main hall, and countless officials could not help but show envy in their eyes.
