eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 206 Who else wants to resign? !
"Your Majesty!"

Li Dongyang doesn't care, he must keep the emperor in the Forbidden City, "The court has just encountered two adverse events, and it is the time when people's hearts are fluctuating. If your majesty is at this time, the imperial conquest will lead to chaos! Moreover, your majesty belongs to the people of the world and the country. Sheji, how can you personally take risks? Your Majesty, please take back this thought!"

The emperor's words did not meet the expectations of the ministers. After so many years, no one knows that this is a hero with a bit of heroism.But whether the country is war or peace, and whether the emperor will conquest himself is a very important matter, and it cannot be a dispute of will.

So no matter what the emperor said, Liu Daxia couldn't get up from his knees. He wept tremblingly and said: "Your Majesty, the late emperor has been in power for eighteen years. Although there were several times, he couldn't bear the anger in his heart and wanted to raise troops outside, but every time he did it. The life of the people is the most important thing. Now that the bones of the late emperor are not cold, your majesty should abandon the idea of ​​raising troops when he thinks about the late emperor."

Zhu Houzhao knew that this matter was troublesome. In the past, when he scolded a few words, it was always the courtiers who backed down.But this time, even if he showed such a gesture, these ministers still did not change their minds, and they seemed to want to hold him back.

"Liu Daxia! If you talk about things, talk about things. According to what you mean, I have become an unfilial descendant and want to violate the will of the late emperor?"

"I dare not."

"What are you afraid of? What you say is nothing more than saying that once the war starts, it will waste people's energy. Then I ask you, are the people on the frontier my Ming Dynasty's people? Do you and my monarchs care about them?"

Liu Daxia still insisted, "Even if there are police at the border, it is only a case of mange. If the whole country raises troops, it will be a disaster for all people in the world!"

"Waiting for the Tatars to grow bigger day by day, waiting for Ming Dynasty to decline day by day, and waiting for the northern captives to slaughter the Central Plains one day, isn't this a disaster for all people in the world?"

"His Majesty!"

"Stop talking!" Zhu Houzhao became a little annoyed, "My ambition in life is to restore the glory of my Ming Taizu and Taizong. For this moment today, I have already started to prepare when I was the prince. The treasury is not Money, I have money! The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty are too weak to fight, but my personal guards can fight the Tatars! Governing the country and the family requires a long-term plan, but the court must not lose its spirit! "

"Furthermore, all your ministers can see what kind of talent I am and what attitude I have towards state affairs. The monarchs who have been the founding fathers of all dynasties and dynasties are considered to be very talented. Where will there be heroes in the future?! According to you As I said, it won't work today, it won't work this year, and it won't work until the next generation's king?!"

"The emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country! My Zhu family still has an emperor who dares to bleed!"

This moment is the difference between the new emperor and the old emperor. When many people are against it, whether you dare to act arbitrarily as an emperor or not, you are still unable to get out of the opinions of your courtiers.

"Your Majesty, don't do it!" Liu Daxia shouted at the top of his lungs.

But Zhu Houzhao didn’t even bother to listen to him, “Shut up!! The Minister of the Ministry of War of the imperial court advised me to stop the army. What kind of Minister of the Ministry of War are you?! There are also Liu Ge, Li Ge, and Xie Ge.”

"Wei Chen is here."

"Let us monarchs and ministers calm down, and you don't think that I am acting emotionally. When the late emperor was here, and my palace was in the East Palace, was there any time when I was acting emotionally? Can you tell?"

This, they really can't find it.

How many times at first I thought that he was impulsive when he was still the crown prince, but after thinking about it, many steps were actually thought out before.

"I'm telling you, I've already expected what happened today. Han Shangshu, shouldn't the treasury have much money?"

Han Wen was a little ashamed, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Although I have just shouted loudly...but the treasury does not have much balance, especially the severe drought in Shandong in the 17th year of Hongzhi, and the only silver taels were spent for disaster relief."

"I will discuss this matter with you later." The emperor skipped this section without mentioning, "There is no money in the national treasury, but I have money in my private treasury. Hey, not much, 360 million taels! Three elders, this money can Proof, I am not acting on my will, right?"

Because of so much money, it shows that preparations for this dispatch began a long time ago.

"Originally there were 400 million taels, but the disaster relief in Shandong cost 20 taels twice. The remaining, even if only 200 million taels, is enough to support the imperial court once."

If the situation is urgent, he can also transfer the silver from Zhejiang.

After so many years, he didn't know that the feudal dynasty couldn't fight the battle of wealth?In any case, it was well prepared.

Now that the emperor is rich and powerful, such a group of ministers are a little dumbfounded. From the founding of the Taizu to the present, such a thing has never happened!
"His Majesty!"

Zhang Fuhua, the imperial censor of Zuodu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "I heard that this year there are grain shortages in Shanxi and Jiangxi, and there are refugee accumulations in all prefectures and counties. I implore you, Your Majesty, show love for the people and call Giving money for disaster relief, relieving the people from hanging upside down, and saving the people from suffering. Isn’t this another benevolent government?”

Zhu Houzhao was stunned, and the others were also a little stunned. After thinking about it, the emperor said: "Jiangxi will allocate grain from Nanzhili, and Shanxi will allocate grain from Huguang. The rich provinces must provide some relief."

Zhang Fuhua hurriedly said: "I am afraid that Nanzhili and Huguang will not want to, so it will be difficult to carry out."

"What's this called? Which yamen are Nanzhili and Huguang and who doesn't want it? You name it, and I want to ask if he is still an official of my Ming Dynasty." The emperor refused to listen to Zhang Fuhua's explanation. "However, in order to reduce wrangling and try to gain more time to rescue the victims, in my opinion, the imperial court also needs to send someone to coordinate in the name of the imperial court. Zhang Zongxian, you are duty-bound to do this. Depending on the severity of the disaster, you can go to Nanzhili and Huguang adjusts the grain and leaves immediately, there must be no mistakes, you know?"

The people of Zhang Fuhua were dizzy. Since ancient times, it has been extremely difficult to open their mouths to ask for food. "Your Majesty, the method of borrowing food from other provinces involves a lot..."

"As I said, you borrow it in the name of the imperial decree. If anyone is unwilling to be involved, you can just report it."

Zhang Fuhua was scolded twice, but he didn't dare to speak anymore.And my head is a little buzzing.Why did this hot potato come into my hands somehow?

Zhu Houzhao also shook his head, thinking in his heart: What kind of way, at this time, I came up with this way to move my money.

"I just said, where did I talk?"

Han Wen reminded, "Your Majesty said that 200 million taels should be enough to support the imperial court once."

"That's right. The Ministry of Households is responsible for purchasing grain and paying salaries, especially for Yang Shangyi's department. I knew that the infantry of the Ming Dynasty could not defeat the cavalry of the Tatars, so I gathered the strength of the whole country to build such a cavalry unit a few years ago. , the rich and the rich, our monarchs and ministers are still huddled in this Forbidden City, aren’t you afraid of leaving a joke through the ages?!”

pat!

On the side, Liu Daxia took off his official hat and put it on the ground. He didn't care about the cold winter, so he knocked his forehead directly on the ground, "If your majesty insists on raising troops! I ask your majesty to change his position as Minister of the Ministry of War!"

Zhu Houzhao's face darkened,
Emperor Hongzhi had just passed away, so it is not reasonable to take down his favorite minister at this time.It is inevitable that people will say that he is a ungrateful king if it is spread.If nothing else, you should at least look at Xiaozong's face and give the veteran some face.

"Liu Daxia, raise your head. I have a few questions for you."

The emperor called his name directly, and everyone knew that the situation was not good.

In fact, Liu Daxia already knew that it was very difficult for him to survive, he was living towards death today.

"Your Majesty, may I ask?"

"Between you and me, I am the king and you are the minister."

"Your Majesty is naturally the king!"

"Then should the ruler listen to the subject, or should the subject listen to the ruler?" Zhu Houzhao also began to raise his voice.

"The minister must listen to the king! But the king should also understand that if you listen to both, you will be clear, and if you listen to one side, you will be dark. When you encounter a major event, you must discuss it with the ministers. Only in this way can you govern impartially!"

"Why is there no discussion?! Isn't this a discussion? According to you, the discussion means that I must listen to you?! If I don't listen to you, you will go to the speech officer. Doesn't this mean that I have to listen to you no matter what? That's not as good as the throne, you come and sit!"

"Your Majesty, please calm down." The emperor had words of condemnation, and the other courtiers had no choice but to persuade him.

Zhu Houzhao snorted, "I just don't understand Liu Daxia's mentality. If the monarch doesn't listen to him, he will resign. I'm still thinking, is this a loyal minister left by the late emperor? If he is a loyal minister, how can he not know the court? In the face of a big war, it is time to work together, but you, Liu Daxia, are lucky, for your own sake, you just want to resign."

Speaking of this, the emperor seemed extremely angry.He flicked his sleeves instantly, turned around and pointed at him angrily,

"Okay! I agree with your resignation! If you want to abandon the court and leave me, I won't stop you! Don't you just want your own reputation? For those reputations, it means how many difficulties the court faces and how I face it. You don’t care about any difficulties. You want to resign at this time, so that the court has to change the Minister of War before the war?! Liu Daxia, this is what you, the favorite minister of the former emperor, did!”

The officials of the cabinet and the six ministries and nine secretaries were all stunned when they heard this,
Was the emperor angry?
Let's say he was angry, he spoke clearly and logically, and put Liu Daxia into the moral dilemma of abandoning the court and the emperor.Let's say you're not angry, this look...is not fake.

"Liu Jin!"

"The servant is here."

"Bring ink treasures!"

The emperor had a decree, so the eunuch naturally prepared rice paper for him swiftly.

Zhu Houzhao is amazing enough, he stands beside the imperial case, with two big words: Loyal minister!
Then he threw the piece of paper in front of Liu Daxia, "You just want these two words! I'll give it to you! Now take it and go back to your hometown! After you go back to your hometown, hang it in front of your door!"

All the officials in the Snapper were dumbfounded, there is such an operation?
But how to say this matter... Liu Daxia must never take this thing back home, this is a huge joke!Since ancient times, which loyal minister has earned his title of "loyal minister" in this way?
While arguing with the emperor, he also received the name of a loyal minister, and lost the official when it was over.

After thousands of years, people will check what happened to you, Liu Daxia, and they found out this?
Besides, how to hang this thing?Others hang up their glory, what do you call it?If you hang it up, what will others say when they ask?Why did the emperor give you such a royal brush?
But you can’t make it up, because it’s easy to bury the emperor if you make it up, and it’s not a capital crime, it’s a capital crime.

So the emperor seemed to have bestowed the name of a loyal minister, but in fact he was ruthless, and directly described him as Liu Daxia who disregarded his father and fought for his name!
And this is even worse than killing Liu Daxia!
"Who else among you wants to resign from office and abandon me at this time when the Tatars are on the border?" Zhu Houzhao sat down on the dragon chair again, and he returned to his normal appearance, as if the anger just now did not exist at all. , "You can say it. Anyway, if there are you, I will beat this Tatar!"
