After saying this, Wang Wen spoke vividly and vividly, but the atmosphere in the palace suddenly became a little gloomy.
The other ministers frowned and seemed to want to speak, but in the end no one moved.
This matter involves science and technology, and if one person makes a mistake, it might be a disservice.
Therefore, Chen Yi still has to solve the problem, and the best they can do is just play the role.
However, the strange thing is that Chen Yi, who has never looked forward or backward, is frowning at this moment and is also silent, as if he is thinking about something.
At this time, the emperor who had been silent spoke.
Logically speaking, although the emperor defended Wang Wen's arrogance, he did not go so far as to protect him.
Under normal circumstances, when Wang Wen lost his temper, the emperor would often reprimand him symbolically to give everyone a step down.
But this time, what the emperor said surprised everyone present.
"Although Tianguan's words are a bit straightforward, they are not unreasonable!"
As soon as he opened his mouth, the emperor confirmed what Wang Wen had just said.
It's just straightforward, the implication is not pleasant, but it's correct...
"The imperial court encourages people to express their opinions, but today's scientific ethics rely on this, asking for names to buy integrity, without thinking about practical matters."
"The Heavenly Official said that they bully the weak and fear the strong. In my opinion, it is not an exaggeration."
As the emperor confirmed Wang Wen's point of view step by step, the faces of the bosses became more and more cautious.
Wang Wen, an old fellow, has always had a bad temper and is very rude in his speech. However, on the one hand, he is already "famous" and no one cares about it. On the other hand, even though Wang Wen is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he is still the official minister.
Minister.
Some words for him have completely different effects and weight than for the emperor.
Just like what Wang Wen said just now, what he said can be regarded as a battle between the DPRK and China, and it is at most a mutual attack.
However, for the emperor, it meant dissatisfaction with foreign affairs.
With the current trend of Ke Dao Feng Xian, if they get wind of it, I'm afraid they will not feel that they are at fault, but will only feel that the emperor does not listen to advice. On the contrary, this trend will become more and more intense, and may even evolve into
Conflict between internal and external Korea.
Frowning tightly, a trace of confusion flashed in the eyes of the elders.
They couldn't figure it out. The emperor shouldn't not understand such a simple truth.
You know, there have been such examples in the past. Wang Wen went on a rampage in the court with a white face, and the emperor used a red face to appease his ministers.
But this time, is the emperor going to break through this layer of window paper?
Looking at the looks of the ministers below, Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said.
"I know that the government and the public are very concerned about the relationship between me and the Supreme Emperor, and even between me and the Prince of the East Palace, and the Queen Mother of the two palaces. Whenever there is any movement, there will be a lot of discussion and frequent rumors."
"When officials speak, they should talk about the affairs of the world. The affairs of the Heavenly Family are also the affairs of the world. Therefore, I do not taboo the government and the public discussing the affairs of the Heavenly Family."
"However, now that the imperial court is in a state of disarray, it is gradually becoming more and more concerned only with matters in the palace and not with the conduct of the people in the world. This is a big mistake!"
The voice was not loud and the tone was not serious, but all the ministers present stood up from their seats involuntarily.
The palace was still quiet, except for the emperor's calm voice echoing.
As the words gradually deepened, the emperor said with a bit of sigh in his tone.
"I don't care what the outside world thinks about the affairs in the palace. All the ministers are the bones of the country, and they are also people who work with me to help the country."
"There are rumors from time to time in both the government and the public, but you know that I have a clear conscience in all affairs of the heavenly family and the country since I came to the throne."
"I will not offend the ministers who were deceived by the rumors and came to the court. However, you should know that although there are people in the court who are dedicated to doing things, there are also people with ulterior motives who stir up trouble. If you admonish officials to only care about heavenly and family affairs, it will be done.
If you get this generation of accomplices, you will ruin my court!"
After saying these words, the look of contemplation on the faces of the important ministers became even more intense.
The emperor's words seemed to be a confession, but in fact, when they fell in their ears, especially in the ears of Chen Yi and Chen Xun, they were as enlightening as Huang Zhongda Lu.
You know, since the emperor ascended the throne, Qingliu and Kedao have not been very popular.
The Qing Dynasty was the most serious, with personnel being evacuated time and time again, status being lowered time and time again, and the situation in Kedao was not very good either.
As soon as Wang Wen took office, the spearhead of Jingchao was fiercely aimed at Ke Dao.
There is no doubt that there must be the emperor's tacit approval behind this.
However, no one has been able to figure out the reason for this.
You must know that Qingliu Kedao has always had a high status in the court. Qingliu is a close official of the emperor, and Kedao is the person who speaks about official style and constitution. The former assists the emperor in governing affairs, attends banquets, prepares imperial edicts, and has the most contact with the emperor. The latter
It is an important means for the emperor to grasp the local situation by inspecting the affairs of the Baisi, pacifying the people at the lower level, and nurturing the emperor at the upper end.
All dynasties in the past dynasties had great faith in Qingliu Kedao. However, after the emperor ascended the throne, he was uncharacteristically unfavorable and had no good impression of Qingliu Kedao.
In the past, they had also privately wondered whether the emperor wanted Qian Gang to be dictatorial and in charge of the government alone, so there was no room for suggestions.
However, as they came into contact with the emperor, they gradually rejected this idea.
The emperor has always been lenient towards his courtiers. As long as the suggestions are reasonable, the emperor will accept them. Even if they are repeated offenses like Yu Qian's, the emperor can tolerate them. Why should he target Qingliu Kedao?
But today's words made them suddenly understand.
In fact, the emperor did not want to suppress Qingliu Kedao, but had to suppress Qingliu Kedao.
To put it bluntly, this is actually still a dispute between the heaven and the family.
There are always young people making trouble in the court, and the ministers present are very aware of this.
After all, the Supreme Emperor has been in power for many years. Although there have been disturbances such as the civil war, there are still people in the court who are loyal to the Supreme Emperor.
These people may be people who stick to etiquette, or they may be the Emperor's old friends, or they may be opportunists.
But after all, there is such a force above the court.
This power does not appear in the open, but it has been stirring up the situation in the dark.
Especially in recent times, with the series of actions of the Supreme Emperor, important ministers like them can be sure of one thing.
These people are not acting under the banner of the Supreme Emperor, but they really have the Supreme Emperor's instructions behind them.
In other words, although the Supreme Emperor retreated to Nangong, he still had the intention to interfere in the government affairs.
As a result, the situation suddenly became complicated.
The reason why Qingliu Kedao is called together is naturally because the two have something in common, besides having excellent academic performance and being a scholar.
Another thing these people have in common is that they like to stick to etiquette and principles.
This is not wrong, but in today's political situation, it is easy to be taken advantage of.
In fact, after so many overt and covert suppressions and rectifications, both Chen Xun and Chen Yi knew that among the Qingliu Ke Dao, there were very few people who could truly be regarded as the Supreme Emperor.
The rest, even if they have intentions towards the Supreme Emperor, are either wavering or hiding deeply and not daring to show their faces easily.
But even so, because of the privilege of being able to hear and speak out, these people are still easily controlled by rumors and public opinion in the DPRK.
The emperor is obviously a saintly king with great talents and great strategies. He is very aware of the role of Qingliu science and technology. However, when science and technology become a constraint, he will not hesitate to suppress it.
Even Chen Yi himself had to admit that if Ke Dao had not been suppressed, then the many rumors coming from the court during this period would definitely cause a lot of uproar in the court.
At that time, the emperor and they will have to spend a lot of effort to calm the turmoil, not to mention promoting these major events that benefit the country and the people.
At this time, the emperor's voice sounded again, and he said with a bit of helplessness.
"I have never sinned because of my words, but if the government is unstable, the country will be unstable. As the Heavenly Official said, the government established six subjects and thirteen channels to supervise the world, not to keep an eye on the affairs of the Heavenly Family.
you."
"All affairs in the Tian family are therefore affairs of the court. However, it is not important for the crown prince to leave the cabinet or to take part in the affairs of the harem. These matters have little impact on the affairs of the court. The officials of the Department of Science and Technology only focus on this matter. On the one hand, they have the intention of inviting names to buy them.
, Secondly, it is suspected of dereliction of duty!"
This is a serious statement!
After the words fell, Chen Yi became a little unsteady and knelt down.
"Your Majesty, I have neglected my duty!"
Without hiding or distinguishing, with a simple sentence, Zhu Qiyu knew that he knew what he meant.
Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said.
"This is not the fault of the General Constitution, but in fact it is the fault of the imperial court!"
As he spoke, Zhu Qiyu's expression became solemn, and he hit the nail on the head.
"When a minister is a minister, it is for the sake of the country to criticize the emperor for his faults. However, since the orthodoxy, perhaps because the king Zhen was monopolizing power and persecuting his ministers, the ministers' remonstrances were gradually not for the purpose of rectifying the country, but for the sake of gaining fame and reputation.
also."
"To care about your superior's petty faults instead of looking at the world at large is to show that you are unwilling to use your heart and take action."
"Everyone knows that since I came to the throne, I have received impeachment notices, whether from local officials or officials in the capital. The number of people impeaching officials for lawlessness is actually not as high as the number of people discussing the affairs of the Tianjia!"
"What is the reason for this?"
"Just now Tianguan said that they bully the weak and fear the strong. It seems absurd, but it is actually the case!"
"They are unwilling to offend their colleagues in the DPRK and the Central Government and dare not investigate the wrongdoers. However, they dare to take advantage of the power of gossip and take advantage of their superiors to remonstrate against them."
The words became more and more straightforward as they were spoken, and even towards the end, they were somewhat cold.
As a result, except for Chen Yi, the other ministers also knelt down silently.
However, Zhu Qiyu had no intention of stopping and continued.
"My every move is watched by hundreds of officials, so they feel that I will not criticize them harshly. However, the real worms of the country, such as Wang Zhen, Wang Ji, Shi Yan, and Jiang Yuan, because of their high positions,
, and dare not impeach.”
"What's more, the censor who inspected the place was actually thousands of miles away. Because of the rumors in the middle of the capital, he came to me with advice. However, the place he inspected was calm and peaceful. It was as if I was the only one in the whole world.
It’s like making mistakes…”
The emperor obviously meant this last sentence with a bit of a joke.
However, none of the people present could laugh. On the contrary, each of them could not help but sweat on their foreheads.
It can be seen that the emperor has been holding back these words for a long time, but it is these words that should have been said in anger, but at this moment, the emperor said them in such a calm tone, but it is even more frightening.
Seeing that the emperor's words finally came to an end, a group of ministers who were already covered in cold sweat all kowtowed and said.
"I am guilty, please punish me!"
They are not stupid young people like Yu Qian. At this time, although the emperor behaves calmly, he may not have much anger accumulated in his heart.
Therefore, bowing your head and admitting your mistake is the only way.
However, this time, Zhu Qiyu really didn't mean to blame them, but waved his hand and said.
"When I say this, I don't want to blame you. The current situation has complicated causes and is not your fault. What I want to say is how to solve it..."
The ministers below looked at each other, especially when the chamberlain on the side came to help them get up, they were sure that the emperor was really not angry.
For a moment, even with their character, they couldn't help but admire them.
To be fair, they have tried their best to accept the emperor's excellence, but, it has to be said that even so, the emperor still often exceeds their imagination.
Not to mention the emperor's familiarity with government affairs and his insight into people's hearts, it is very difficult for the emperor at his current age to have such a vision and penetrate into the nature of the government situation.
What's more, after seeing through everything, the emperor could still maintain such a normal heart and not feel angry at all. This kind of magnanimity and magnanimity are truly extraordinary.
Of course, what they don't know is that although Zhu Qiyu looks only in his twenties, he has seen the changes over the past century and even witnessed the collapse of the dynasty with his own eyes. His vision and mind are no longer limited to such small things.
If he had seen through this in his previous life, he would have become furious, even broken jars and started killing.
However, after rebirth, everything is different.
These dissatisfactions, even if they existed, have been eliminated in a hundred years.
Seeing that a group of people below stood up, but still did not dare to sit down, Zhu Qiyu sighed and did not say much, but continued to ask.
"You are all good ministers. I wonder if there is a way to solve this problem?"
this……
The emperor's words are clear enough, but precisely because of the clarity, this method is difficult to explain.
As the emperor said just now, the current situation and ethos of Kedao have complex causes, and this cannot be solved by simply changing a group of people.
However, after what the emperor said just now, the ministers present also understood something very clearly.
That is, if this problem cannot be solved, then the emperor will always be afraid of Qingliu Kedao and suppress it.
Even if it can be temporarily lifted up in order to reverse the atmosphere of officialdom, it will not be able to cure the root cause. In the end, it will still be suppressed again.
Thinking about it, this is also the reason why the emperor spoke openly today.
Whether they want to cover up the situation and drink poison to quench their thirst, or face the difficulties head on and solve the problems from the root, it depends on whether they are capable enough...
