Chapter Three Hundred and Two: The Imperial Decree
The court's discussions can no longer continue.
Zhu Youting's face turned pale and then left with his sleeves.
In the hall, the court officials had not dispersed yet, and when they saw Zhu Youting's back as they were gone, they were stunned. In fact, from the beginning, they did not expect that the emperor's attitude was so firm. It seemed that this time it was not that simple.
Some people unconsciously rushed towards Liu Jian, and Liu Jian was surrounded by others. Some people couldn't help but ask: "Ge Lao Liu, who is provoking the emperor and making the emperor go his own way? The matter of forbidden seas is never discussed. This example will be opened.
Then the country is gone.”
Liu Jian frowned and waved his hand, "You don't have to gather here, just go back to the payroll room."
After dispersing everyone, Liu Jian then went to the cabinet office to work. Li Dongyang and Xie Qian did not speak, and seemed a little worried. This matter became more and more difficult. The emperor was determined.
After a while, a eunuch came in, took a book of verdicts and said, "Your Majesty has just drafted a decree for the Cabinet to issue it. Please ask a few adults to read it."
Liu Jian raised his eyes and said lightly: "Come on the umbrella."
Li Dongyang and Xie Qian also raised their heads, wanting to see what His Majesty’s imperial edict was written.
After taking the imperial edict, Liu Jian launched the draft imperial edict and looked at it, then his face turned gloomy.
Liu Jian put the imperial edict on the desk blankly, then glanced at Li Dongyang and Xie Qian, and said slowly: "Your Majesty's will is here, let's open you."
"Open the sea!" Xie Qian was immediately startled. Before the emperor discussed with the cabinet ministers, he had sent the imperial edict now. Isn't this clearly going to catch the cabinet off guard? This is something that has never happened before
, It seems that the emperor really intends to break the verge of death.
"Hmph, the sea ban cannot be opened. Once it is opened, how can you and I explain to the Lords? Besides, the emperor did not even know our cabinet, so he suddenly issued an imperial edict to ask the cabinet to re-brand. Once this example is opened, you will only
…” Xie Qian shook his head, looking very powerless. In fact, this struggle made the cabinet elders in this cabinet a little helpless. In the past, they worked hard for the emperor and united with sincerity. No matter how great the difficulties were, they could at least be together.
Working together, but now it’s different. What they are facing now is the object of their loyalty they have always regarded as. At this time, it’s not just Xie Qian, but almost everyone’s mood is very complicated.
"Please return it, the cabinet will not accept the imperial edict." Li Dongyang said slowly after being silent. If Your Majesty really wants to open the sea, the cabinet will never make accusations for the tiger. Returning the imperial edict at least shows the attitude of the cabinet.
The so-called return means that when the cabinet believes that the emperor's will cannot be accepted, it will send the imperial edict back to the palace. If the emperor's imperial edict is to be implemented, it must be drafted by the cabinet. After the cabinet is drafted, it will be sent to the official court for approval.
Hong will be sent back to the cabinet after that, and the cabinet will send the order to the relevant departments for specific implementation.
Once the cabinet is not drafted, the imperial edict will be less effective. After all, no matter how big the emperor is, what he says must be implemented. If it is just an ordinary imperial edict, it would be fine to bypass the cabinet directly.
However, it is impossible to bypass the cabinet for major events like Kaihai. If the cabinet is returned, there is no way for the palace to do so.
But everyone here knows that once the seal is returned, the relationship between the cabinet and the palace will be in a stalemate. If this kind of thing really needs to be done, the sequelae are quite serious. But now, it has to be done.

Liu Jianhe nodded and said, "That's all."
The news in the court became more and more shocking. The emperor issued an imperial edict, but returned it to the cabinet. On the second day, another imperial edict came down, and it was still open to the sea. The cabinet had already felt endless pressure.
Now, in their opinion, opening the sea and banning the sea is no longer a problem. At most, a hero can cut off his arm and abandon the interests of the Jiangnan family. However, it is really not necessary to go against the emperor for this.
But they are also in a difficult situation. If they do not express their position, they will inevitably be considered as a tiger and a rudiment. They will think that the cabinet is a kowtower worm. At that time, even if the emperor does not blame the blame, when the world starts to discuss, the cabinet ministers will insist on resigning.
No remarks.
How many cabinet ministers were involved in the struggle between the emperor and the cabinet, for this reason. Liu Jian and the other two were under extreme pressure, and in the end they had to seal the emperor's second imperial edict back.
On the third day, when the court was discussing early in the morning, the ministers who could not hold back began to attack again. Dozens of people jointly resigned, including two ministers. Zhu Youzhang did not speak or did not
He was panicked, but chose to remain silent. However, once he talked about the sea ban, Zhu Youzhang still argued with reason and acted like he would not give up until he opened the sea ban.
No one had ever thought that a sea ban would have caused such a turmoil, but now it is impossible to fight. The sea ban is no longer a simple sea ban issue, but it has already been related to the morality of the ministers. Once there is
The minister stood up and argued with the emperor for the sake of the sea ban, which would immediately receive countless applause. If someone proposed resignation for this, it would be even more amazing. The moment he resigned from the capital, there were crowds of people going to see him off.
At the same time, if anyone surrenders to the palace, it will immediately lead to countless curses, betrayal, and even his mentors and disciples will cut off their robes and make no contact with each other.
Zhu Youzhang took action again, and he began to hide. He said that he was unwell and gave up. Even the summons of the cabinet ministers were usually stopped. What was the emperor going to do?
,Did you give up the jar?
At this moment, the ministers were a little panicked. At first, everyone resigned together, which could have scared the emperor, but who knew that the emperor's actions now scared them.
The emperor is a rare wise monarch. His biggest advantage is his diligence. He has been doing everything for ten years, and he is proud of his career. But now, the emperor is not sick. What does this mean? This is not a clear way to tell
Everyone, if the ministers refuse to support Kaihai, will the emperor leave the political affairs?
The cabinet has become an ant on the hot pan. The emperor's tough attitude will only lead to both sides' losses. It is not a good thing for anyone. What should I do next?
Before the cabinet could make a decision, there was no one behind him. Many officials went to the Meridian Gate and knelt outside the Meridian Gate to ask His Majesty to discuss politics, and at the same time asked His Majesty not to mention the matter of opening the sea.
There are more and more ministers like this, and they are in groups of three or three, and later they become dozens or hundreds of people. Anyway, everyone is on the verge of Mao, and the emperor does not change his words or admits his mistakes, so they continue to fight. And against Zhu You
Ci said that if the court refused to agree with his opinion, he would be determined to continue to be sick.
The streets and alleys were filled with sensation, and almost everyone began to talk about things outside the Meridian Gate. The ministers and officials, who were usually five or six, are now kneeling there, neither going to the duty or going home to rest.
His attitude is very clear. If the emperor insists on his own, they will continue to kneel down.
The palace seemed to be silent, and things were getting worse and worse, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to deal with. Whether it was the palace or the court officials, there was always someone who had to make a regression. The cabinet between the two sides was actually the most headache.
On the one hand, the hundreds of palaces talk about the ancestral system, and on the other hand, the palace needs to change. If the cabinet is too tough, it will inevitably make the palace difficult and even cause a greater crisis. But if it is to show weakness, will the officials agree?
Liu Jian hasn't had a good sleep for a few days, and there are more and more memorials piled up in the cabinet. In the past, the emperor would read it, but now he is not ill. Therefore, all matters of all major and small in the Ming Dynasty have to be in the cabinet.
With the pressure, Liu Jian felt exhausted.
The news on the Meridian Gate was getting worse and worse. Several old ministers could no longer bear it and fainted. Fortunately, the treatment was timely and there was nothing serious. However, the matter was already very obvious. If this continued, the consequences would be even more serious.
Zhu Youzhang was not sick, but he was in a bad mood these days. Although he knew the ending of this incident and knew that the attitude of the officials of the court would be so tough, he still felt a little bit like he was kicked to this iron plate.
The emperor was so angry that he could not pass the imperial edict, but he returned it. The civil and military palaces not only did not obey the imperial edict, but knelt at the Meridian Gate, and he must take back his life. Of course, Zhu Youzhang was unhappy.
Five days have passed, and during these five days, Zhu Youting's mood has become worse and worse. When he woke up early this morning, he didn't even let someone spread the news, so he just let himself go and said nothing.
After sitting in the Zhengxin Hall for a while, Zhu Youzhang felt a little uncomfortable. His diligence for more than ten years has been absent now, which makes him feel a little at a loss and doesn't know what to do.
Zhu Youzhang simply asked someone to send me memorials from the past few days. These memorials are actually the same. They are all about opening up the sea and they are all looking at maintaining the ancestral system. I advise Zhu Youzhang not to open it.
Sea and clouds.
"Hmph! Zushi... I'm going to bring the trouble of Emperor Taizu to find me!" Zhu Youzhang read a few books and threw the memorial aside. There was no need to read this big basket of memorials anymore.
Knowing what to write inside, he lay gently on the chair, his eyes half-closed and thought about something, then smiled slightly, showed a smile of conspiracy, and said slowly: "Since you want to talk about the ancestral system, then I will
Let you know what the ancestral system is!”…
The air conditioner I installed yesterday actually leaked today. The water leaked out of the power cord. I was so scared that I found the person who sold the air conditioner to repair it. Then I went to ask the master who installed the air conditioner and removed it and installed it again. I was busy for another afternoon.
It's even later. Alas, I just moved out of my home recently and I'm not used to many places. Please understand. Tiger feels very sorry. (To be continued)
