Chapter 84 I am a barbarian, what can you do?
Liu Jian, Ye Qi and others decided to persuade His Majesty. They could not do this, so they acquiesced for now.
“Okay, so far, these are the four new policies.
I will talk about the others after I have thought about them.
Every department involved in the new policies will have their own plans. I will improve what I said to form a complete system
All must be submitted to me within five days.
Is there anything else? "Zhu Houzhao said.
No matter who it was, they couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
It would be nice if there was no more.
But immediately, most of the officials felt extremely heavy , and even fear.
These three items alone, to be precise the second and third new policies, were enough to turn the Ming Dynasty officials upside down.
After a small silence, Zhang Sheng, the Minister of Rites, saluted and said: "Your Majesty and the envoys from all countries are still waiting to send congratulations.
One more thing, your Majesty has just ascended the throne for the first time. Why? No amnesty for the whole world? "
"Amnesty for the whole world? Why should I give amnesty to the whole world?
My kindness is known to the whole world. Needless to say, I will not give it to some criminals.
Wrong is wrong. If you want me to ascend the throne, just forgive me. Don’t even think about it. "Zhu Houzhao said with no room for disdain.
The officials who wanted to dissuade them all shut up.
Compared with the two new policies, this matter is not difficult to accept.< br>
“Congratulations to the envoys from various countries, let them come in. "When Zhu Houzhao talked about this, he became interested again and sat down on the dragon chair again.
Soon, the envoys from various countries entered the Fengtian Hall.
The number is not large, less than ten countries.
The largest ones are the Song and Sui countries, and the rest are small countries.
As for the remaining big countries, either they have not arrived yet due to time and distance, or they will not come due to hostile relations.
What makes Zhu Houzhao most happy are the gifts sent by various countries next.
Comparatively speaking, Song State has the most.
This Zhao Ji is quite interesting.
That Yang Guang is no good, he is really stingy.
Just as Zhu Houzhao was thinking about it, the hall fell silent and the singing ceremony ended.
‘Your Majesty, it’s time to return the favor. ’ Liu Jin quickly sent a message to remind.
“Yes.” Zhu Houzhao nodded and said, “I have received all the gifts from various countries.
You say thank you to your emperor for me. "
"By the way, next time you give gifts, don't give those messy things, just give gold and silver.
Envoy of the Song Dynasty, tell Zhao Ji, I don’t need those pens, inks, paper and inkstones for calligraphy and painting. You can take them back and exchange them for gold and silver for me. The more the better. "
Everyone in the hall was stunned.
Even the frightened officials who had no intention of paying attention to this could not help but be stunned.
What is your Majesty saying?
Most of the envoys from various countries blushed and held it back, especially the envoys from Song Dynasty, who felt humiliated.
"There are also envoys from the Sui State. Look at how much the Song State sent, and then look at your Sui State.
Is Yang Guang so stingy?
He Do you still have the nerve to send you here to congratulate me?" Zhu Houzhao became dissatisfied as he spoke.
The Sui envoy immediately showed an angry look, "Why did Emperor Ming humiliate our emperor and belittle our Sui Dynasty in this way?"
The Song envoy suddenly felt much better and swallowed back what he wanted to say.
"What humiliation and slight? I just told the truth, didn't I?" Zhu Houzhao frowned.
"Our emperor sent envoys to congratulate Emperor Ming on his enthronement, which is a friendly gesture.
Wouldn't it make the world laugh at Emperor Ming's nonsense?" The Sui envoy became even more angry and was not afraid. shouted Gao.
He was an envoy representing the Sui Kingdom, how could he not be angry?
"I told a few truths, but it was just nonsense, and the world laughed at me?" Zhu Houzhao also got angry, "Who dares to laugh at me? Let him stand up? Who do you think you are? Dare you? "I am talking nonsense."
"The Emperor Ming is powerful in the world, but I am just a small person, insignificant to Your Majesty.
But Your Majesty cannot silence the people of the world, and cannot kill all the people in the world."
Such a barbarian attitude will only make the Ming Dynasty laughable by the world," the Sui envoy said forcefully.
"Ha." Zhu Houzhao laughed angrily again and stood up, "Okay, you said I insulted your Sui country, and I insulted you. What can you do?
If you have the ability, let Yang Guang send troops. Fight him?
I am a barbarian.
What can you do?
Here, break his legs and throw me out."
The guards immediately stepped forward and dragged the Sui envoy out who was trembling with anger.
The envoys from other countries were completely stunned and did not dare to say a word.
The Song envoy was even more grateful that he had not spoken just now.
The new emperor of the Ming Dynasty is simply a barbarian, a complete barbarian.
The ministers of the Ming Dynasty woke up and started to dissuade them.
Zhu Houzhao didn't listen, and put his hands on his hips angrily: "His master dared to scold me, do you think I can't hear it?
I will be afraid of you as a Sui country.
Tell Yang Guang again , If you don’t apologize to me, this matter will never end.
I will definitely raise troops to destroy him one day.”
“Your Majesty, the Meng Yuan is our great enemy, and the Sui State is our great enemy. Allies should not be enemies." Liu Jian said feeling extremely tired.
"What kind of allies are there but not allies? I will definitely dominate the world, and they are all enemies." Zhu Houzhao said without any concern. The expressions of the envoys from various countries changed again, and the envoys from Song Dynasty were still the most important.
The ministers of the Ming Dynasty were completely numb. They said these words in front of the envoys of various countries. What else could they say?
After a while, people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei came and sent information about the investigation into Liu Daxia.
These investigations are certainly not comprehensive, and are mostly based on factory guards’ previous records of Liu Daxia.
But after Zhu Houzhao saw it, he was still furious.
“The exchange of favors, normal filial piety, tens of thousands of taels of silver, almost ten thousand acres of land in my name, and no taxes paid!
I burned Zheng He’s nautical chart, feeling proud, thinking it was for the good of the Ming Dynasty!
My son beat two people to death, and he is not guilty!
My relatives also committed many evil deeds in my hometown.”
"Hehehe, good, that's great, you traitor.
No, he is not worthy of being my son.
I will chop him up.
The house was ransacked, and everyone used the No one can be spared for his crime."
"Jin Yiwei, tell me his crimes and hypocrisy to the world."
Zhu Houzhao was furious and murderous.
Many officials inside and outside the hall felt weak. This can be considered a crime!
Liu Daxia collapsed on the ground, dissatisfied again.
This is what the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did.
But he knew that he couldn't say it.
Otherwise, no one in his family would be able to survive at all.
"Your Majesty, why not interrogate this traitor first? Maybe we can dig out more traitors." Cao Zhengchun took the opportunity to say.
"Okay, let's give him a trial first, and then I'll chop him up alive." Zhu Houzhao said angrily.
The ministers, who were exhausted physically and mentally, did not intercede, or they did not dare or it was not worth it.
This enthronement ceremony, which made many officials sweaty and exhausted, is finally over.
Most of the officials of the Ming Dynasty dispersed with heavy steps.
Fearful, worried, heavy, expectant, happy, etc.
Many officials could not care so much and started to get busy.
Jinyiwei, Dongchang, Xichang, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Sixth Section and other departments all need to quickly improve the content of the New Deal mentioned by His Majesty.
How does Jin Yiwei catch corrupt officials? How to assign responsibility and credit to individuals? How to self-examine? How to cooperate and share money with Dongchang?
How does the West Factory supervise Jinyiwei and the East Factory?
How do the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Section review the performance of officials across the country?
Etc., etc., they all need to be perfected into an implementable system.
They only have five days. At least within five days, they must give His Majesty a content that is acceptable.
Among them, the Ministry of War was the most confused.
The minister is gone, and they will probably have to be separated from the civil service system. The military cabinet has not been established yet, and they don't know what to do.
Busy and a little frightened, this is the Ming Dynasty at this time.
Of course, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang were almost ecstatic from top to bottom.
Cabinet.
When Liu Jian and the other three returned here, they all saw each other's exhaustion.
And the slightest bit of powerlessness.
They suddenly realized and realized that this new emperor was completely different from the previous four emperors Hongzhi, Chenghua, Zhengtong and Jingtai.
Faced with such an emperor who has great military achievements and extremely strong personal strength, even if they are in the cabinet, they are the top officials.
But there was no resistance at all.
Even if the emperor did a series of seemingly ridiculous things, they could only watch helplessly.
Even deep down in their hearts, they are actually unable to be tough and desperate to stop it.
They finally understood how their predecessors felt when they faced Taizu Taizong.
No, it’s harder on them.
Because Taizu Taizong still cares about many things, such as some royal faces, some unspoken rules, etc. He knows the emperor's mind, knows how to give some face to his ministers, and is particular about it.
And their emperor is not particular at all.
"No matter what, we still have to persuade His Majesty not to be so wanton." Liu Jian was silent for a while and then said.
Li Dongyang and Xie Qian nodded in agreement.
But can it succeed?
The three of them had no confidence in their hearts.
The new policies and various things at the coronation ceremony spread at an extremely fast speed.
The capital immediately became noisy.
Countless discussions arose.
Some agree and some disagree.
Those who disagree are mainly scolding the factory guards for going rampant.
However, unlike the Zhu Youtang period, facing a new emperor like Zhu Houzhao, people from all walks of life in the capital were relatively gentle no matter what their thoughts were.
No one dared to point the finger directly at the emperor. At most, they said that the emperor was deceived by treacherous ministers and eunuchs.
The impact on the entire Great Tomorrow and other countries is still fermenting.
In Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houzhao did not pay attention to the discussions outside.
He called Wang Shouren and said directly: "Old Wang, I will leave the establishment system of the Military Pavilion to you. I believe that you can do a good job."
This On the other hand, he thought about it for a long time and still didn't know what to do.
But it doesn't matter, as long as he brings it up, he believes that Lao Wang will definitely solve it.
As for the initial anger, he had long forgotten.
"Your Majesty, now that you have ascended the throne as emperor, it is better not to call me Lao Wang anymore." Wang Shouren, whose temperament has changed slightly and became more fierce, said with a smile.
"I am already the emperor, of course I can shout whatever I want." Zhu Houzhao said proudly.
