Chapter Four Hundred and Thirty Six: Confrontation in Zhengxin Hall
Chapter 436: Confrontation between Zhengxin Palace
Zhengxin Palace.
Several cabinet ministers have arrived one after another..
In the eyes of ordinary people, it seems that King Gao did not go to Honglu Temple according to the rules, which seems to be a common thing. After all, wherever he lives, it seems that there is no close relationship with the royal family.
But these people who have been in the officialdom know that this kind of thing is very serious. If the vassal kings do not follow the rules, they will just pass the courtesy. When the news spreads, the royal family will lose face. Another more important problem is that
, Should the court pursue this matter?
If you really pursue it, you have to deal with the King Shanggao immediately. The problem is that the elders know that King Shanggao cannot be cleaned up casually. Once it is cleaned up, it means that the war begins. King Ning is in Nanchang and will inevitably make trouble. In the court
Without preparation, this is equivalent to tormenting yourself.
But if we don’t pursue it, the problem will be very serious. Today, King Gao can break the rules. Is this rule useful? The court governs the world with etiquette. If etiquette does not exist, will the world not be confused?
Now everyone sits together to discuss how the court should deal with the issue.
Zhu Youzhang was obviously very angry. He originally thought that in order to gain some time, he would comfort him a few words. Should he summon King Shanggao to the palace and comfort him well?
But who knew that such a big thing happened. He was so gloomy that he walked back and forth in the hall. When Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and Liu Ji arrived, he unexpectedly did not ask anyone to sit down. He carried it.
He raised his eyes and deliberately pressed his voice and said, "Have you found the King Shanggao?"
Li Dongyang was about to speak, but he was robbed by Liu Ji. Liu Ji said: "Your Majesty, there is no news yet, but I believe the Dongchang and the personal army have begun to search, I am afraid that there will be news soon."
Li Dongyang just licked his mouth and said nothing. However, Xie Qian was a little dissatisfied with Liu Ji's robbery, and then he said, "The King of Shanggao is really bold. What does he mean by doing this? According to Wei Chen's estimate,
This matter was mostly taken up by King Ning. What is King Ning doing?"
What Xie Qian said made Zhu Youting deeply afraid. To be honest, he was not afraid of King Shanggao's recklessness. If Xie Qian was just a simple impulse, it would be fine. But this matter was the secret envoy of King Ning.
, Things are not simple. Zhu Youzhang already has some understanding of Ning Wang. He has greater intentions in doing anything, and he plans everything and then does everything. Since he has taken this step
Chess, then there will inevitably be greater actions.
Zhu Youzhang sneered: "So, let me tell you, what should I do?"
His question asked everyone down. How else can he deal with it? King Shanggao must not move now. As soon as the capital takes action, Nanchang has to rebel. This is not because King Ning
In response to King Gao's love, he moved King Gao. King Ning's rebellion would definitely be completely exposed. At that time, it would be impossible not to deal with King Ning, and King Ning would never give up. He was anxious.
Still jumping over the wall.
Although the differences are still large in the cabinet, the position on the matter of King Ning is consistent. This is not the time to take action, so the only choice is to turn a blind eye.
However, the emperor is still angry now. If you say these despairing words, it is hard to guarantee that you will not be in trouble. Therefore, the three of them remain silent. At this time, it is not a demand for credit and reward. The more you say, the more you are wrong, isn’t this seeking death?
Zhu Youzhi's face became worse when he saw that the three of them did not answer. He knew these humeral ministers himself. They were all very smart and knew the truth that accompanying the king was like a tiger, but these people went more and more
Is it that he treats himself with this shrewd attitude that the more unhappy Zhu Youzhang, the more he is Liu Chengfeng is more kind, and at least he can still find a heart from him.
"Well? I don't say anything anymore. Why? I usually talk about the matter of eating the king and loyalty to the king?" Zhu Youzhang said slowly.
Li Dongyang smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, the most urgent task at the moment is to find out the King Shanggao first, find the person, and then discuss other things."
His words were a delaying plan, which made Zhu Youtang not know what to say, so he had to sit down obediently. After a moment of silence, his face calmed down a little, and he said, "Let's just sit down."
The eunuchs and the three cabinet ministers moved the chairs, and the three sat down one by one. Liu Ji squinted his eyes, and neither spoke nor looked at others, as if he was thinking about something. He and Li Dongyang had similar temperaments.
All of them are full of things in their hearts, but the only thing Li Dongyang is better than him is that Li Dongyang at least has principles, but Liu Ji has no bottom line in doing things.
Liu Ji's cabinet during the Chenghua period was also known for his good plan. If it weren't for the name of Liu Mianhua, who was not afraid of bullets, Liu Ji might not have a worse reputation in strategy than Li Dongyang.
After Li Dongyang sat down, he simply stopped talking. In fact, the three people in the cabinet were constantly thinking and not saying anything while studying this matter.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Zhu Youzhang had nothing to say, but he couldn't help but feel the cold situation. He had to look around and talk about other things, his eyes fell on Liu Ji, and said, "Liu Aiqing is old and has entered the pavilion, but
Can you still eat it?"
This sentence really made Liu Ji almost sweat. At first glance, it sounded like the emperor thought he was old. It's only been a few days since he entered the cabinet. It's really hard to say that you are here to make fun of me.
I wanted to drive people away. But after a little thought, Liu Ji understood that Your Majesty might not mean this, it was probably just a heartless statement.
However, to answer this sentence, you need wisdom. You must show your determination to serve the emperor even if you are old. On the other hand, you must never let the emperor really feel that you are old. There is a degree here.
Only then can I continue to eat the Grand Secretary’s bowl of rice. Liu Ji looked nervous and said, “I have suffered some cold these days, and my health is not as good as before. But since I entered the cabinet, I always think of Your Majesty’s love, so I don’t
If you dare to make any mistakes, how dare you say that you are old? The old minister is willing to serve Your Majesty for the rest of his life, and dare not do his best."
Xie Qian was shocked by the side and couldn't help but think that this old guy actually wanted to dominate the cabinet and squat until he died.
Zhu Youzing nodded with satisfaction and said, "What's going on in Nanchang Prefecture's disaster relief now? Has there any memorials?"
The disaster relief was originally controlled by Li Dongyang. His Majesty asked, but Li Dongyang came to answer. However, Liu Ji seemed to be addicted to it at this time and smiled and said, "The weather has improved a little in the past few days, plus
The imperial court has sent a batch of disaster relief funds and grains, but now it has finally improved a little. It seems that there is no trouble in Ning Wang anymore."
Zhu Youting's face returned to a little rosy and said, "It's good to do this, but you don't have any worries, but things that happen after the disaster must not be neglected."
Li Dongyang was also angry at this time. The old guy was so shameless. He and Xie Qian stayed up for a few nights and arranged the disaster relief. Now it's better. Liu Ji was in a hurry to pick peaches, Li Dongyang's
His eyes couldn't help but glance at Liu Ji, with a little disgust.
But Li Dongyang's small movement seemed to have been noticed by Liu Ji. Liu Ji narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "Your Majesty, there is no news from King Shanggao yet, but the old minister is thinking that the matter has reached this point,
It is probably because the ice is not cold for a day. The old minister has long heard that the Honglu Temple has always been slow to treat guests and is very negligent about the vassal kings and envoys of the vassal states. Perhaps it was because King Shanggao hated Honglu Temple that he himself was
It is not necessarily the place to stay. The court will always be punished, especially Zhao Yifu, the minister of the Honglu Temple, who is usually very lazy and should teach him some lessons."
His words suddenly made the atmosphere tense.
Li Dongyang's expression changed. Zhao Yifu was not his disciple. The man surnamed Zhao had always been his grandmother and uncle who didn't love him. However, Liu Ji had to let the Honglu Temple take care of the matter of going to Gao.
This is related to him, Li Dongyang. In short, if the Honglu Temple has responsibility, then is the Ministry of Rites responsible? Today, we can take the opportunity to organize the Honglu Temple. Isn’t it that the Ministry of Rites has been slow to treat the princes and vassals tomorrow.
But Li Dongyang was not only a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, but also a Minister of Rites. If he really wanted to settle the accounts, he would have to settle them on Li Dongyang.
Liu Ji's words were extremely vicious. Xiang Zhuang danced his sword with the intention of Pei Gong. Although he was attacking a temple minister who was not very concerned about the court, it was actually to pave the way for him Li Dongyang.
At this point, even if Li Dongyang is honest, he has to retort. He snorted coldly and said lightly: "Mr. Liu's words are a little too much. It is obvious that King Gao has no rules, but why do he blame others?
”
As soon as he said that, Li Dongyang felt that something was wrong again. With his intelligence, he immediately understood the key. Think about it, if such a big thing happened, the court must deal with it. The problem is that it cannot be dealt with by Shanggao King, but it must be
Give an explanation to all the people of the world. Since King Gao is not guilty, he must find someone to take the blame. Who can be chosen except Zhao Yifu? So Liu Ji now takes the initiative to ask Zhao Yifu to take the blame, which is actually giving both parties a chance to give
What's the use of allowing the court to take advantage of the situation?
Sure enough, Liu Ji's words hit Zhu Youting's worries, and Zhu Youting's face became deeper. He was not an unreasonable person. He was so angry that he really had the plan to deal with King Shanggao.
But in rationality, now is not the time to deal with Zhu Chenhao. Since that is the case, we must give someone an explanation. Now, it is said that Zhao Yifu, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, is not good at doing things, and it seems that he can cover up the matter.
Just doing this, I couldn't help feeling a little unhappy, so I said lightly: "Let's discuss it again, I will deal with it myself."
