Chapter 82 If you have the ability, please invite Taizu out
With many complicated emotions, Liu Jin spoke out a series of rewards.
Compared with previous generations of emperors, the rewards Zhu Houzhao received when he ascended the throne can be described as shabby.
Except for people close to the East Palace, there are almost no others.
Not even my uncle’s house.
But thinking about the relationship between the prince and the two uncles, I feel relieved again.
One of the two uncles was sent to Nanjing.
Because of this, the three elders in the cabinet and others felt some psychological comfort.
Finally, the reading of the New Deal began.
Seeing Liu Jin's slightly bitter look from the corner of his eye, Liu Jian and others were all worried, and the bad premonition became stronger.
"Liu Banban, Ben Tai, and I are here to read it in person."
Suddenly, seeing Zhu Houzhao who was about to read out his hard work, he became completely energetic.
With a wave of his hand, he stood up directly without taking the imperial edict and took a few steps forward.
Liu Jin wanted to persuade her, but it was against the rules.
But he didn’t dare to say a word. He closed the edict, took two steps back, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Reading His Majesty's imperial edict is actually a kind of pressure.
“I, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, have ascended the throne and want to announce some new policies to declare to the people of the Ming Dynasty my determination and confidence in governing the country as an emperor.
I think this is very good, so I thought about it. For several days and nights, I personally wrote the new policy that I will implement. "
Zhu Houzhao looked at everyone, his eyes shining with expectation and confidence.
His New Deal is definitely the best.
Suddenly, he raised his eyebrows and said with some dissatisfaction: "What are you doing with your heads down? Raise your heads and look at me. I will explain the New Deal to you."
Nearly a thousand ministers were already stunned. , even more shocked.
"Your Majesty and ministers, please do not offend Long Yan directly! It is disrespectful."
An officer responsible for supervising etiquette caught the eye of his superior and said bravely.
"Why are there so many messy rules? If you don't look at me, how do I know if you are listening carefully?" Zhu Houzhao drank displeasedly, "Everyone raise their heads."
The ministers had no choice but to look at each other, then they all raised their heads and looked directly at the figure at the top.
The black imperial robe is majestic, gorgeous, and extremely youthful. It is full of vitality, as well as the domineering and sharp edge that flies wantonly, covers all directions, and is fearless.
It seems that this hall cannot accommodate him and has to poke holes in it.
It fits the image of the young emperor that some ministers imagined.
"Yes." Zhu Houzhao looked at everyone's eyes and felt comfortable, "When you face me from now on, you will all look at me.
It would be disrespectful to look at me.
Shit.
Dignity is achieved through strength, not some random rules, do you understand? ”
Some officials couldn’t help but want to speak.
This is common in all dynasties, and it is also a rule established by Taizu.
It is to maintain the emperor's majesty.
But thinking about today's occasion and this man's achievements, I can't bear it anymore.
I will advise you later.
"Yes, I obey the order."
No one tried to dissuade me, and all the ministers responded.
"Now let's talk about my new policy." Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction.
Looking happy and expectant, but also very serious, the ministers became even more serious.
They all realized that His Majesty had started to toss again.
But this should also be his true thoughts and the political trend in the future.
If you don’t listen carefully, you don’t deserve to be here.
"I am the emperor now and the father of all the people of Ming Dynasty.
The most important thing for a father is to make his children live a better life."
Zhu Houzhao's face was filled with emotion. Seriously, he said solemnly: "So, my first new policy is to never let the people of the Ming Dynasty starve to death, freeze to death, or die unjustly.
Can it be done?"
The sound was like the roar of a dragon and the roar of a tiger. It rang clearly in the ears of all the ministers and made their scalps feel numb.
This is not a New Deal; it is an unrealistic slogan and a fantasy.
But no one would dare to object.
"I swear to be loyal to the death." The ministers said in unison with a tacit understanding.
Zhu Houzhao immediately frowned and said displeased: "What I'm asking is whether it can be done? What nonsense and other things?
Can it be done?"
The ministers were speechless.
Who can do this?
We can just express our position. Why does Your Majesty force us?
No one dared to speak, and Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt bad. "No one dares to speak, don't you all have confidence?
Cabinet, you speak first."
His attention shifted to the three elders in the cabinet.
“Reporting to Your Majesty, Your Majesty loves the people like a son and has lofty ambitions. It is our Ming Dynasty’s fortune.
But since ancient times, no dynasty or generation has been able to prevent one of the people from starving to death. , freeze to death, and die unjustly.
I and others are willing to do their best, but if they want to make changes, they will have to work hard for decades.
Therefore, I and others dare not agree. .
I hope your Majesty will learn from this. "Liu Jian bowed and said solemnly.
The ministers immediately nodded, which is what they wanted to say.
"Is this an excuse?
If all dynasties could not do it, then their emperors and ministers would be useless.
I will definitely be able to get there, and my ministers will definitely be able to do it.
Of course, I also know that this will not take a few days, but I want to see good effects and changes. Anyone who can't do it will be replaced immediately. There are many people who want to be officials in the Ming Dynasty and many people who can be officials. "Zhu Houzhao's tone became stern.
He didn't care at all that these words also scolded his ancestors.
The ministers continued to be helpless, and they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts. .
This is a tyrant.
How can you say that about an official?
Liu Jian and others wanted to argue, but after thinking about it, they endured it.
On this occasion, if you agree with the emperor, you might just go home.
If you lose your official position and go home because you don’t have the confidence to govern the country well, your reputation will not be very good.
"I ask again, can it be done? Do you have the confidence to do it?" Zhu Houzhao's tone became a little higher.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have the confidence to do it, and I will die to do it." Wang Shouren, who rushed back to the capital alone last night, spoke firmly.
"I have the confidence to do it, and I will die to do it." Li Xunhuan followed closely.
More than a dozen officials stood up.
At this time, all the other officials could only follow: "The same is true for me."
"Okay, I heard it, and I believe you for the time being and will watch you." Zhu Houzhao paused for a moment. satisfy.
After a pause, he continued: "The second new policy is to reorganize the army.
The Beijing camp, the border army, and the garrison must all be reorganized.
Except for the border army's reluctance, the Beijing camp has to be reorganized. Can we still fight in the camp?
Do you think I don’t know anything?
And what have you been doing in the Fifth Army Commander’s Office?
A bunch of trash. "
The more he said, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but get angry.
Down below, a large number of people from the Ministry of War and the nobles immediately knelt down.
"The ministers are guilty. "
"Of course you are guilty. We will tell you what crime you are guilty of after the investigation. "Zhu Houzhao said unceremoniously and without any doubt: "From now on, all the governor's offices of the five armies will be abolished.
I established a military cabinet, and the Ministry of War was merged into the military cabinet. The military cabinet will help me take charge of the overall organization of the army. ”
These words seemed to cause an uproar and really shocked everyone.
The first New Deal is just a slogan, no matter what, it is only a matter of the future.
But this army The Pavilion is different. The Fifth Army Governor's Office is abolished, and the Ministry of War is merged into the Military Pavilion.
What is to be done?
Side by side with the cabinet?
The cabinet, six ministries, and nobles all changed their expressions.
Even Wang Shouren frowned and his thoughts changed rapidly.
Is this what Your Majesty thinks of himself?
Perhaps it is good, the power of the military cabinet may be very great, but as long as the balance is good, His Majesty will have nothing to worry about, but it is a bit too hasty.
The officials will not agree.
"Your Majesty, I have objections." Liu Jian couldn't bear it anymore. He was the chief minister of the cabinet and the head of the officials, so he had to stand up.
"What's the objection?" Zhu Houzhao looked over.
"Your Majesty, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army was established by Taizu, how can it be easily abolished?
Not to mention that the Ministry of War is closely related, how can it be merged into the military cabinet?" Liu Jian said solemnly.
"I second the proposal. If your Majesty wants to organize the army, he can ask the Ministry of War and the Fifth Army Commander's Office to jointly organize the army." Li Dongyang followed.
"I second the proposal." Xie Qian said with a salute.
"I second the proposal." Officials from the six ministries and more and more civil servants from the left and right censors spoke.
The nobles are worried and looking forward to it.
Worried about the loss of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, looking forward to the establishment of a military pavilion.
Don't know what to do?
After looking at His Majesty, all thoughts were extinguished, just listen to the order.
Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows and said disapprovingly: "Okay, I have already decided, let's do it this way."
The faces of the officials changed again, and His Majesty did not care about the ministers at all. objection!
"Your Majesty and I object." Liu Daxia, the Minister of War, said loudly.
"I have said it, I have decided, this is my imperial edict.
What do you object to?" Zhu Houzhao's eyes became displeased.
"Your Majesty, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is an ancestral system, and the Ministry of War has existed in all dynasties, and it has a great relationship.
How can it be abolished?
Your Majesty's decree is a disaster. "I ask your Majesty to think again," Liu Daxia said decisively.
Zhu Houzhao's expression changed.
"Your Majesty, it is better to discuss this matter for a while. The establishment of the military cabinet is of great importance, and its internal system needs to be carefully considered.
Why not wait until everything is determined before establishing it? "Wang Shouren spoke at this time. He knew that if he didn't ease up, the ministers would really confront His Majesty.
This is the enthronement ceremony.
“Wow.”
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand to Wang Shouren, his dragon sleeves rustling, "I have already decided, no need to say more."
Looking at Liu Daxia, "Don't talk to me about the ancestral system. If you have the ability, you can take care of Taizu." Please come out and tell me.
I ask you, do you want to resist the decree? "
"I am not resisting the decree. Your Majesty's decree is to bring chaos. For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, I can't do it. Take the order." Liu Daxia said loudly.
Many admiring looks came over me.
"Ha." Zhu Houzhao was startled for a moment, then suddenly laughed angrily, "Your Majesty, you are so hypocritical in resisting the decree. Are you looking for death?"
"If Your Majesty wants to kill me, I am willing to accept it." Die, but please take back your Majesty's decree." Liu Daxia said without hesitation.
"Okay, I will help you and chop him up." Zhu Houzhao was furious.
After saying that, when the expressions of the ministers changed dramatically, they suddenly shook their heads, "No, I am the most kind father in the world. How can I kill my son for just a few words of rebuttal?"
Everyone immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Some people admired Liu Daxia even more, while a handful of people looked at His Majesty with worry.
No matter what, the imperial power cannot show weakness at this time.
“Check.”
