Zhong Zhaodou proposed to find the excuse for Concubine Zheng in the "Medicine Diet Case", and then forced the third emperor Zhu Changxun to surrender to the vassal state. In this regard, Qian Menggao originally hoped to deny it with "Taizu's order", but Taizu's words
He didn't even do it himself, and was pushed back by Zhong Zhaodou.
Now, it's Qian Menggao's turn to continue taking action.
"Chief Zhong, habits become habits, and customs become customs. However, since there is Taizu's order, the emperor can always invite this ancestor's instruction to be respected as a standard. At least in terms of legal principles,
If the emperor did this, I and my ministers can't accuse him of anything."
Qian Menggao was not afraid of the stage. He did not finish what he said, and continued: "Then there is the emperor's temperament...haven't the princes understood this over the years? The emperor is definitely not like the late Emperor Mu.
Like a temple, he is not someone who will change his mind due to the influence of the foreign court.
Of course, when the power of the outer court is extremely high, the emperor cannot use his own power to overpower the ministers, but he can delay it. No matter what big or important thing, he can delay it, because he is the emperor.
No matter how big the matter is, the emperor, as the supreme being in the world, can put it aside with the words: "This is a big matter, please let me think twice." But as ministers, what can we do even if we ask and urge again and again?
Still just being anxious.
Therefore, I thought that trying to use the incident of Princess Zheng to force the emperor to make up his mind to canonize the third son of the emperor as king, and immediately ask his country to establish a vassal state, was fundamentally a wrong idea - the emperor would definitely not allow it!
No matter how much noise the outer court makes, he will just turn a deaf ear and let things freeze there. And the most embarrassing thing then will be me and other ministers of the outer court...
General Xian, Chief Zhong, let me just think about this: A violent storm is stirring up and down the court, but the emperor still turns a deaf ear to it. At this time, the outer court has nothing to do about this situation. So wouldn't this have a greater impact on the power of the outer court?
?”
This statement is true, because in terms of the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yijun can indeed achieve the above assumptions - as long as he is willing to look down on him.
It was difficult for Zhong Zhaodou to refute this time. He could only frown deeply and said in deep thought: "What Section Chief Qian said seems reasonable, but after all it is just a guess..."
Such a response was obviously not strong enough, but as Zhong Zhaodou, he could not say anything more powerful. Therefore, Xiao Daheng on the side expressed his attitude on this matter for the first time. He suddenly waved his hand and said: "Okay, the two section chiefs don't have to say anything more.
Debate. What the Emperor will think is not something we and other ministers should speculate on. At the same time, what we should do now is also beyond our control."
Zhong Zhaodou and Qian Menggao's eyes immediately focused on Xiao Daheng's face, but Xiao Daheng just tightened his face and said coldly: "This is the cabinet's instruction. We just have to follow it... If you have any objections, you can do it."
Go to the cabinet to argue with the ministers."
After hearing this, Qian Menggao's face darkened, but Zhong Zhaodou raised his eyebrows: Yes, what's the point of Qian Menggao and I arguing here? What needs to be done now is the cabinet's resolution. To put it bluntly, it's the cabinet.
The final compromise reached between Mr. Gao Ge and Mr. Shen Ge - although it seems that Mr. Gao Ge has no compromise.
In short, no matter how you put it, Mr. Gao Ge gave such an instruction, Mr. Shen Ge did not express opposition for various reasons, and Wang Yuanfu has obviously always advocated strict handling, so this is the collective resolution of the cabinet.
No civil servant should refuse to implement the collective resolutions of the cabinet, because none of the cabinet ministers at the moment joined the cabinet under the decree of the Central Committee. One by one, they were all promoted to the cabinet through the court. According to legal principles, There is no controversy at all, so their collective decision has credibility among scholars.
This is a very interesting phenomenon in the Ming Dynasty. As a science and technology official established to "control the big with the small", you can object to the views of a certain cabinet elder, or even more violently, just because the cabinet elder has an opinion on a certain person. He directly launched an impeachment based on his remarks about the incident. However, your "using small to control big" can only be targeted at individuals, not the entire cabinet.
Why? It’s because of the recommendation system.
As mentioned before, the court recommendation system is actually a system that has been deliberately elevated in importance by the civil servants. It is used by the civil servants to resist the pressure of imperial power and is endowed with great legal rationality. The logic that this legal rationality can exist is Since the cabinet comes from "public recommendation", it represents the entire civil servant group.
What is the imperial court? The imperial court is actually a ruling group composed of "monarchy" and "ministerial power". Although the monarchy is supreme, obviously nothing can be done without "all ministers and hundreds of officials", so the ministerial power can compete with the monarchy.
However, the monarchy of the Ming Dynasty was so strong that it abolished the prime minister system that represented "subordinate power" in the past. As a result, "subordinate power" had to come up with a new representative, otherwise it would be completely useless. .This new representative of "subordinate power" is undoubtedly the cabinet that has developed to this day.
The cabinet was originally just the "secretariat" of the emperor, but now that it has the right to represent the entire "subordinate power", if a civil servant wants to continue to mess around, even if he is a minister, he can only target a certain person in the cabinet. Express opposition, but cannot oppose the collective resolution of the cabinet.
Because, to a certain extent, it is like standing on the opposite side of the entire civil servant group. It is extremely bad in nature and is equivalent to being called a "literary traitor".
It has to be said that although Xiao Daheng has been silent before, he always kills when he opens his mouth. No matter how eloquent Qian Menggao is, as long as you dare not oppose the collective resolution of the cabinet, you can only shut up and obey it honestly. implement.
Qian Menggao sighed deeply in his heart and thought to himself: What a pity. It would have been better if the Prime Minister had not expressed his agreement, or even if he had reserved his opinion - that could be interpreted as that he did not approve and had to reserve his opinion only to maintain the unity of the cabinet. .
It's useless to say anything now. Master Shixiang...forget it, Master Xiang has no choice but to do anything for his son. Zhao Yiyang actually sided with the Shi School to help the tyrants do evil, so that Master Xiang could stand alone in the pavilion. It was really useless. The sense of shame is hateful, hateful!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After Xiao Daheng finished speaking, he waited for a while and did not wait for Qian Menggao to reply. Knowing that he also wanted to understand the truth, he couldn't help but snorted and said: "Since you two None of the section chiefs had objections, so we put the dispute aside for the time being and worked together to thoroughly investigate the 'Medicinal Diet Case'.
As for how the emperor reacts...hehe, there will be a tall man holding the sky when it falls, that is a matter for the cabinet, but it is not my turn to wait and be anxious, let alone comment on it, do you understand?"
Zhong Zhaodou immediately raised his hands and said: "What the General Constitution said is absolutely true, 'The Master said: If you are not in his position, you will not seek his government. Zengzi said: A gentleman cannot think of his position.' This is the teaching of the sages. How dare we not follow it?"
Qian Menggao's face tightened and he was already cursing in his heart.
You're trying to cheer me up, right? Okay, okay, you guys are powerful, everything you say is right, it's all the teachings of sages. If you want to slap me on the other cheek, not only will I have to slap you on the other cheek, but I'll also slap you on the other cheek.
.I finally realized the difficulty of being a teacher. This situation is really stronger than the person. I didn’t say anything even though I was making sense.
No matter how angry Qian Menggao was, after all, Xiao Daheng was the president and the leader of the foreign court in this case with a clear imperial edict. Qian Menggao could only hold his hand and said expressionlessly: "Here."
Over there, Zhao Zhigao acted like a cool official in the capital to raise funds, and here Xiao Daheng also suppressed Qian Menggao. Both major events in the outer court were progressing in an orderly manner.
Gao Pingshi was not idle at this time. He had just received news that the emperor had summoned the respectful king Li Huo.
King Gongshun sounds a bit new, but he is actually the former king of Korea. In the past, North Korea followed the instructions of the Ming Dynasty and attached three requests, and then the emperor accepted it. The edict made it very clear: "King Li Ao of Joseon named King Gongshun and bestowed it on Shenjing.
A temporary residence in the palace until the court chooses a place for him to return to the country."
In other words, Li Huo, the former king of Korea, was granted the title of prince in the Ming Dynasty and temporarily lived in Beijing. He had to wait for the court to choose a fiefdom for him before becoming a vassal.
Zhu Yijun had no plan to summon Li Hao today. At least the cabinet did not know there was a plan. Therefore, Gao Pragmatic did not know what the emperor wanted to talk about when he summoned him. However, he thought it was either to show his respect for the attached Li Hao.
If He is interested, he might want to talk to him about the fiefdom.
If it's the former, it doesn't matter if it's pragmatic, but if it's the latter, then he feels that something is wrong with the emperor's behavior - whether this matter is big or small, it should be discussed with the cabinet anyway
Bar?
However, this was very pragmatic and sensitive, because although Zhu Yijun did intend to discuss the fiefdom issue with Li Hao, it was not to the extent that he had to discuss it with the cabinet.
Zhu Yijun just wanted to test Li Hao's tone. He did not intend to make a decision now, nor did he intend to leave the cabinet and "make my own decision." In name, Zhu Yijun did just give him a banquet and entertain him, and asked Li Hao to accompany him to the theater.
Zhu Yijun didn't deliberately choose the opera for Li Hao. He followed his own rhythm of listening to the opera. Today happened to be the 33rd episode of "The Story of Huan Sha", so he asked Li Hao to follow along.
This "Huan Sha Ji" was originally called "Wu Yue Chun Qiu". It tells the story of the two vassal states Wu and Yue competing for hegemony during the Spring and Autumn Period. There are forty-five episodes in total. Zhu Yijun has been listening to it for a few days and likes it very much. Today is the thirtieth chapter.
Three times, the title is "die loyal", which is also a word that His Majesty the Emperor likes.
However, the word "like" is true. Whether you like today's drama is another matter.
At this time, Kunshan tune of Shuimo tune was being sung on the stage, and he sang in a pure voice: "Prime Minister, the day before yesterday you warned me that I should not attack Qi. Now that Dazai has led an army to go, we will win. Today I will lead the six armies and vow to fight against Qi.
I dominate the country and dominate the princes, but I am not ashamed to kill you?"
The external voice continued to sing: "When I heard that Heaven had abandoned me, I first induced a small joy, and then brought a big disaster. The disease of scabies can't be overcome by luck. It's just a small joy. The more serious it is, the disease of the heart and heart will attack in one day."
, has been a catastrophe.
Yesterday, I heard that my lord was sitting in the palace, and saw four people leaning on each other. They heard the sound and dispersed. This is a sign that the king has lost all the people. I also heard that people from the north are killing people from the south. This is a sign of regicide. The country is about to perish, and there must be something wrong.
Monster, if my lord wakes up, the country may be saved, but if he ends up in a coma, his body will also perish."
When Li He heard "Hearing the sound and dispersed, this king seems to be lost among the people", he wondered if he thought that there were many human masters in the Korean court who had attached themselves to the Ming Dynasty, and the smile on his face froze. Then he heard "
"I also heard that people from the north are killing people from the south." His face changed even more. He thought of the party struggle in North Korea at that time and the North Korean Party took control of the situation...
Coincidentally, Zhu Yijun also changed his expression at this time. However, Zhu Yijun's focus was naturally different from that of Li Hao. What he cared about was the entire last sentence: "I also heard that the people from the north were killing the people from the south, so this is like regicide."
The country is about to perish, and there must be evildoers. If the lord wakes up, the country may be saved, but if he ends up in a coma, his body will also perish."
People from the north kill people from the south...Bei Chen kills Nan Chen? Who is Bei Chen and who is Nan Chen?
Zhu Yijun couldn't help but think that Wang Jiaping, Liang Menglong, Gao Pragmatic, and Zhou Yong were all from the north, while Zhao Zhigao and Shen Yiguan were from the south. Beichen killed Nanchen... Could it be that Zhao Zhigao's son Zhao Fengwei was impeached?
Of course, Zhu Yijun doesn't care whether Zhao Fengwei lives or dies. What he cares about is "the image of a minister committing regicide." However, he shook his head a little. This seems to be inappropriate, right?
Even if "Beichen" really killed Zhao Fengwei, it had nothing to do with regicide, and these "Beichen" had no motive for regicide at all!
As for "when a country is about to perish, there must be evildoers", who are the evildoers? There cannot be evildoers among these four Northern ministers. Wang Jiaping and Liang Menglong are both people who are about to enter the officialdom. Zhou Yong is an old man who raises his hand and speaks everything he does.
Considering his pragmatic attitude, what kind of monster is he? What a joke.
As for being pragmatic... Zhu Yijun shook his head as soon as he thought about it.
Qi Zhi's current reputation is indeed great, but he only has a high reputation because he is invincible in every battle. In fact, he has not done anything illegal in any aspect.
Besides, the reason why he has such a high reputation is because he manages the finances for me and collects income from expeditions here and there, which are just doing things for me. I can't say that he is a monster just because he is conscientious. How can there be such a thing in the world?
The truth?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! At this time, the pure voice of "King Wu Fu Chai" sang again: "The old thief is so deceitful, he is a Wu evildoer. Because I was a former king, I did not execute him, so I retreat now."
See you soon!"
"Xiangguo" sings: "In the past, the king did not want to establish you, so I fought for it with my life. The young master blamed me a lot, but I have done something good for you, so you gave me death. What is the regret for me to die, but I hate that Wu Palace is full of thorns,
The Yue people dug up the ears of your ancestral temple."
Zhu Yijun's expression changed again, and he thought: How can we treat meritorious ministers like this? The Kingdom of Wu must be destroyed. I should also take this as a lesson. I must not have delusional thoughts and unreasonably doubt loyal ministers and good generals. I am pragmatic.
He also gave him Chen Han and said, "You are just salt and plum blossoms, and you are the boat's boat." How can he break his trust?
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Li Huo next to him let out a long sigh. He couldn't help but turn his head and saw that Li Huo's eyes were red and filled with tears.
Zhu Yijun's heart moved, he put away his previous thoughts, showed a gentle smile, and asked: "I saw that King Shun was deeply involved in the play, what are your feelings?"

PS: An ancestor of my wife’s family passed away, so I delayed updating for a few days. Not only am I not finished with things, but I’m also not sure about the yin and yang around me. I came in a hurry and didn’t bring my notebook. I still took the time to read this chapter on my mobile phone.
The code is really half the result with twice the effort... half a fart, not even "half", not even one-tenth of the efficiency, and the head is very big.
