Wanli Xinming

Chapter 162 The Flag ([-])

The next day, it was the birthday of Empress Zhuang Jingjia, and women at all levels in Beijing ordered women to wear makeup and enter the palace to celebrate their thousandth birthday.Among the fifty concubines of Zhu Yijun, the concubines of the two emperors Sejong and Muzong who have not been canonized as concubines, will also enter the Kunning Palace for eighth birthday celebrations.

Chen Ju was supposed to bring his inner officials to celebrate his birthday with Zhang Hong, but was called by Zhu Yijun to Huangji Hall to accompany the emperor to attend the grand meeting.

Due to Liu Tai's participation in impeachment, Zhang Juzheng has submitted his resignation and is awaiting investigation behind closed doors at home.Except for Zhang Juzheng, almost all of the other important officials and honorable officials in Beijing were of the third rank and above.

After the emperor got married, he still kept the habit of "three, six, and nine" court meetings. Although today is the 28th, Zhu Yijun's notice to hold a temporary court meeting was sent from Xiyuan yesterday, so all these people came except those who were sick. .

When Zhu Yijun sat down with a gloomy face, all the ministers bowed and paid homage.Since all the glass windows of the Emperor's Palace had been replaced, all the ministers could surreptitiously see the emperor's face.

Chen Ju was the closest to the throne. Seeing Zhu Yijun's raised eyebrows, his brows were not tightly wrinkled. He knew that he was not as angry as he appeared to be.But his own face was also gloomy, like the bottom of a black pot.

After Zhu Yijun sat down, he didn't speak. He picked up the tea on the throne and drank it slowly. While drinking, he made a thin voice, which made the atmosphere in the Emperor Palace more and more depressed.

The ministers below looked at each other in dismay, and they had never encountered Zhu Yijun behaving like this.In the previous court meeting, the celebrants of Honglu Temple also had a process of asking all the ministers if they had any ceremonies. Today, they were all withdrawn by the emperor, so everyone could only stand quietly in this depressing atmosphere.

Zhu Yijun finished drinking tea slowly, took the handkerchief handed by the inner official beside him, wiped his hands, and glanced at His Highness's ministers.When he saw the Duke of England, he finally said: "The Duke of England is getting old - bring a pier and let the Duke sit."

Zhang Rong listened, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him.Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "Well, Guogong has been praised for his hard work and hard work in the past two years. This little guy is worth it. In the future, we will all sit and discuss matters."

When the British public was seated, Zhu Yijun still did not speak, but his eyes gradually became severe.The hearts of all the ministers were thumping, and some of them were of average psychological quality, and dense beads of sweat gradually appeared on their foreheads.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Zhu Yijun was about to speak, but he heard a thud, Tao Dalin, Zhan Shifu and Hanlin scholar, fell headfirst and fell to the ground.

The officials on the left and right hurried around to look around, and there was chaos in the hall for a while, while Chen Ju looked at Zhu Yijun.Zhu Yijun's heart tightened, he stood up and said, "Chen Yu has a heart attack, go and see if he has any medicine on him."

Chen Ju separated from the crowd, saw Tao Dalin's face like golden paper, and hurriedly touched him. Sure enough, he found the quick-acting heart-saving pills. He quickly squeezed his mouth, put two pills in, took the tea handed over by the inner official beside him, and gave it to him. Take it.

Standing in front of the throne, Zhu Yijun shouted, "The people surrounding Yu Chen are scattered, and the patient is out of breath!" After hearing this, all the ministers dispersed from Tao Dalin's side.

Chen Ju squatted on the ground and asked the inner officials to pad Tao Dalin's head, rolled up his sleeves and massaged his limbs, but it took only half a column of incense, and when the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital arrived, Tao Dalin had already woken up.

Because of disturbing the court meeting, Tao Dalin shivered and begged for the skeleton.Zhu Yijun pondered for a while and said, "Yu Chen's body is really unable to do things. Go back to cultivate for a while, and I will allow you to return to your hometown. Well, add the title of Minister of Officials."

Tao Dalin's eyes turned red, and tears rolled down.With the help of the internal officials, he struggled to kowtow and said: "Chen Jiajing Bingchen entered second place in the official list, and he has received national favors, and the official is the third rank. However, the human ear of literature is useless to the country! Before returning, there was a heartfelt speech that did not spit out. If you are not happy, please ask the Emperor Jiana."

Zhu Yijun listened, his face was heavy, and he nodded: "You can speak bluntly."

Tao Dalin raised his head, as if using all his strength, and said loudly: "I saw the emperor's edict the other day, and it means reforming. What's wrong with the country? The majestic Shangbang actually let a few Japanese pirates make trouble for the people. Is it because the country is not strong and there are no strong soldiers to fight the humiliation!"

After saying this, Tao Dalin lowered his voice and said: "Since then, the word 'rich country and strong army' has been in my heart for more than 20 years! The new army, the revival of the Ming Dynasty seems to be in sight. Although I have no meritorious service, Suye lamented that I am delighted that I have a Ming leader. In today's court meeting, I had made up my mind to eliminate the tragedy of the Japanese pirates in my hometown. Talk about it, ask those who oppose the reform—where is your heart? Do you want the people of the Ming Dynasty to suffer? Do you want our emperor to be humiliated by a few Japanese and barbarian people?"

After saying this, Tao Dalin flushed with excitement and his eyes were sparkling.Clear eyes swept across the faces of the ministers who bowed their heads and said nothing, but in the end they put all their emotions into his thin body.He bowed his head again and said, "This is what the minister said. I hope that the emperor will diligently and love the people, and reform the government - to live up to the expectations of our ancestors!"

After listening to Tao Dalin's heartfelt words, Zhu Yijun also had intense emotions rolling in his heart.He stood up from the throne, walked down the steps, and helped Tao Dalin up, saying: "Yu Chen has the ambition to serve the country. I have opened my eyes like blind all these years, but I didn't let the Qing family show it. It's my fault."

When Tao Dalin heard this, his lips quivered, and his tears rolled like broken beads.Whispered: "Your Majesty, this minister's body has long since died. He has been in a corpse for many years, and he has not had a small effort, so he is ashamed. Today, I will say what I have hidden in my heart, and I will die without regret. Your Majesty! I hope to see it. The day when the Ming Dynasty is rich and strong, the people from all over the world come to the DPRK!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yijun's eyes turned red, holding Tao Dalin's hand with a smile: "Yu Chen is good at taking care of it, I promise you, I will see it!"

Tao Dalin bowed to the ground, bowed his hands to all the ministers in the hall, and with the help of the inner officials, he stepped backwards out of the Emperor Palace.

Zhu Yijun watched him exit the gate of the hall, and he also took a few steps out, and stood for a while at the gate of the hall facing the square in front of Huangji Hall.After calming down, he turned around and walked through the group of ministers who were avoiding both sides, and walked to the throne again and sat down.

Looking at the ministers, Zhu Yijun said, "Tell me about it. If you have any thoughts on what Tao Yuchen said before he left, let's hear it."

Led by Zhang Han, Minister of Officials, Lu Shusheng and others were all ready to defend the ancestral system to the death and wrestle with the emperor who was in charge of the government.Unexpectedly, Tao Dalin suddenly fell ill, and this one came again before he left. It was like a divine assist for the emperor, but it was hard to say.

Seeing that the officials were silent, Zhu Yijun's face turned cold, and he squeezed a voice out of his teeth: "Why don't you talk? When I wrote the book yesterday, I wrote a thousand words, but today I don't say a word at the meeting? Why, those words are afraid of seeing people. ?"

In the class, Wang Xilie was stirred up by the emperor's words. He was just about to leave the class, but he didn't prevent one of the honorable class members from coming out first. It turned out to be Xin Ningbo Tan Guozuo.

I saw him wearing a unicorn suit, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, although my old Tan is vulgar and vulgar, but I also know that the ancestral system of Daming cannot be changed!"

"How many years have passed, except for the few victories in Liaodong and Jizhen after the emperor ascended the throne, we Daming have been bullied by the Tartars. Wang Gao, like Wang Gao, simply does not take the imperial court in his eyes!"

Because he was too fat, Tan Guozuo said a few words, then took a deep breath and continued: "If you want to fight, you always have no money or food. I want to ask, can you get money and food by following the ancestral system? Last year, even the stink of Burma. The face melons are slamming their noses on their faces, this—" Having said this, he suddenly got stuck in the words he recited all night, his face turned pale in a hurry, and his forehead was sweating.

The British man rolled his eyes in anger, got up from the small pier, and added his words: "Your Majesty, the meaning of Xin Ningbo, this will not change the law, it will not work if you don't enrich the country and strengthen the army!"

Chen Ju stood under the side of the throne, replacing Zhang Hong's original position.He could see Tan Guozuo's embarrassment rolling his eyes and thinking about the words, his belly almost burst from laughing, and the corners of his mouth twitched violently as he suppressed his expression.

Tan Guozuo murmured for a long time and didn't think of it, he could only continue with the words of Duke Yingying: "What this minister wants to say is what the father of the country means! I have finished speaking." After speaking, he got up and went back with low eyebrows.

Zhu Yijun suppressed his smile and said with a stern face: "I know what Xin Ningbo means. Who else can tell me?"

Wang Xilie finally got out of work, and he knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I have established the foundation of my dynasty since the second ancestor, and the system is complete. Ancestor's law is not a temporary government, it is the foundation of the emperor's country! The world is governed by the rule of law, why should it be necessary to change the law to disturb the people! Since the Qin Dynasty, China has lost the world due to the reform of the law, I don’t know how many people?”

"And since the emperor ascended the throne, why has he changed his ancestors and made a law? What is the world like today? Although it can't be said that the prosperous times will be prosperous, the great governance can be expected. There is a ready-made way to go, but great changes are made. Once the country is shaken, it will be too late to regret it. !"
