The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 328 The Upright Xia Dapao
When Zhou Tingru opened his mouth, it was as if the air suddenly stagnated for a moment, and everyone's eyes were on him.

Wei Zhongxian stared at Zhou Tingru with a half-smile and said, "Mr. Zhou Ge, why do you object to giving Jiang Chuan a king with a different surname?"

Zhou Tingru's eyes seemed to be looking at Wei Zhongxian, but his peripheral vision always drifted behind the screen: "I have been in the Ming Dynasty for more than 270 years, and there has never been a precedent for a king with a different surname. Besides, my Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was once in the "Dagao" It is clearly stipulated in the Chinese text: if a subject has military merits, he can be crowned Duke at the highest level. That is to say, if he is not a descendant of the royal family, no matter how great his merit is, he cannot be crowned king. There is no precedent for a duke of a country, if you want to be a king, not only is there no precedent to follow, but also it is not in line with our Ming ancestor system. Therefore, I oppose it."

Zhou Tingru's words were full of energy, and he even turned up Taizu's "Da Gao", and Wei Zhongxian and the four eunuchs who held the pen in charge of the Ritual Supervisor were very upset, but they still had no temper.

The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and there is really such a clause in the "Da Gao" formulated by the Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty.When Zhou Tingru brought up this point, everyone really couldn't refute it for a while.

Wei Zhongxian frowned, looked at Zhou Tingru's proud expression opposite him, sneered in his heart, and didn't speak, but looked at the figure behind the screen.

His eyes were sharp, and he looked at the figure behind the screen as if he was about to get up suddenly, moved a bit but then sat back down again, returning to a quiet look.

Wei Zhongxian had the bottom line in his mind, his expression regained his calm, and he looked at Liu Kongzhao, the cabinet minister and household secretary on the right of Zhou Tingru opposite.

Zhou Tingru and Liu Kongzhao are the two highest-ranking and most prestigious members of the Donglin Party in the imperial court.

Everyone knows that Liu Kongzhao and Zhou Tingru have always sang together and supported each other.It is precisely because of the cooperation of these two people that they can resist the current chief assistant Wen Tiren.

In addition, Wen Tiren is an old fritter, knowing that the Donglin Party is powerful, so he often shows weakness, so he lives in peace, but he got the nickname "Sugar Man Prime Minister" in the court.

Zhou Tingru looked at the expressions of the five eunuchs opposite, feeling very unhappy, smiled slightly, then looked at Liu Kongzhao, Minister of the Household Department next to him, and said, "Lord Liu, what's your opinion?"

As expected, Liu Kongzhao lived up to his expectations, and said slowly: "What Zhou Ge said is very true. It is rare for a courtier to be a king since ancient times. There are many cases of kings rebelling. Even if my Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty expressly stipulated in the "Da Gao" that children of non-masters cannot be crowned kings because of his foresight, this is also for the sake of my Ming Dynasty. Therefore, I think, It is not suitable for Jiangchuan to be crowned king, and the imperial court is enough to reward him with a duke of the state."

Zhou Tingru moved out of the ancestral system, and Liu Kongzhao continued to oppose it from the perspective of the harm of having a different surname as a king. Since then, the reasons for opposing Jiangchuan's title of king seem to be more sufficient, and the two of them really cooperated very well.

Zhou Tingru stroked his long beard in satisfaction, and looked at Wei Zhongxian opposite him with a sure-fire look on his face.

Although I had thought of making friends with Jiang Chuan when I heard the news that Jiang Chuan destroyed the Qing Dynasty.However, under the big contradiction of court struggle, he had to resolutely oppose making Jiang Chuan king.

The superficial reason seems to be due to party disputes, and because it was the suggestion of the eunuchs who were in charge of ceremonies to make the king, so he wanted to oppose it.

But in fact, if he didn't tell the real reason, no one would know.

Wei Zhongxian's face remained unchanged, he still looked at the figure behind the screen, and found that the other person was still motionless, and he had some calculations in his heart.

"Do the other adults think the same way?" Wei Zhongxian asked calmly.

"What Elder Zhou Ge and Master Liu said is very true. Since Jiang Chuan is devoted to the country and serves the court, the position of Duke is enough to reward him for his contributions. Presumably he will not have any complaints. As a subject, thunder and rain are all things. Jun En, I think Marquis Wu An can understand the imperial court. If he makes other contributions in the future, it is not a bad idea for the imperial court to reward him separately."

The one who spoke was Qian Qianyi, Minister of Rites who took the fourth place, with a selfless and upright appearance.

Wei Zhongxian sneered in his heart, but looked calmly at the fifth cabinet minister and Minister of War, Meng Junze.

Meng Junze said with a blank face: "There are some things I don't quite understand. Everyone present is very clear about the current situation of our Ming Dynasty. To put it bluntly, Da Ming's world is already in danger, and Li Ni's army may attack at any time." Under Linjing City.

As Minister of the Ministry of War, I have no soldiers to transfer and no generals to use.Looking at the court, there is no one who can lead the army against Li Ni's army.Now that the ancestors bless you, there is a Jiangchuan who can fight, win, and win. If you don't grasp it well, you have to guard against it for a false name, and you have to be afraid. what hope?
For those who talk about the ancestral system, I would like to ask, can the ancestral system repel Li Ni's army?Can the ancestral system save the country of the Ming Dynasty?Can the ancestral system allow me to recover the lost cities and land in the two capitals and thirteen provinces of Ming Dynasty?
Those who say that the kings of different surnames have been enshrined in the past dynasties to rebel, I want to say, look through the history books to find out whether the clan rebels are the majority or the opposite sex is the most rebellious?When some people speak, it is better not to open their eyes and talk nonsense, lest the ghost in their hearts jump out.

There are also people who say that as a courtier, one must be loyal to the court without complaint or regret. In my opinion, the person who said these words should let him go to the battlefield to experience it, and let him see what it means to pile up corpses like mountains and blood flow into rivers.To serve the imperial court, it is necessary to fight with one's life, not to stand in this magnificent hall and loft and boast.If the imperial court can't even part with a title of prince, then what reason would the courtiers have to work hard for the imperial court?
To put it bluntly, if Jiang Chuan really had the heart of disobedience, by virtue of his strength, he would have left the imperial court to stand on his own. To Your Majesty.

Some people better touch their chests when they speak and do things, otherwise ghosts will not knock on the door in the middle of the night.

I, Xia Junze, did not come to be Minister of the Ministry of War to be someone's answer.If no one in this court dares to speak the truth, then I will speak.The big deal is just death. I, Lao Xia, didn't die on the battlefield back then, and I already lived more of these people. "

Xia Junze was born in the army, and he fought with the Tartars in Liaodong in his early years.He is good at wielding a big knife, known as Xia Dadao, has a strong and straightforward temper, and does not participate in any party struggles in the court.

It is because of this that his official career has not been smooth, and he has been a right servant in the Ministry of War for many years and has not been promoted.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, due to repeated defeats in wars, Minister of War became the shortest-lived position in the imperial court. In just a few months, he changed several times. In the end, there was no one available to him, so Xia Junze became the minister.

And the emperor let him directly into the cabinet.

Today is actually the third day since Xia Junze became Minister of the Ministry of War.For the past two days, Lao Xia kept silent, Zhou Tingru and Qian Qianyi even privately said that Xia Dapao had changed his mind.

Unexpectedly, today, a large cannon was unexpectedly fired, and the intensity of the artillery fire was beyond everyone's expectations.

Moreover, the gunfire was still directed at Zhou Tingru, Liu Kongzhao and Qian Qianyi, who were almost pointing their noses and cursing.

Zhou Tingru and the three were so angry that their faces turned red, their lips trembled, and their eyes were breathing fire when they looked at Xia Junze.

Xia Junze looked calm, reached out and took off the black gauze hat on his head, and placed it squarely on the long mahogany table in front of him, then took a step back, knelt down facing the screen, kowtowed three times, and said: "Xia Junze slandered the imperial court, please be removed from office and take the blame , Your Majesty, please allow me."

Xia Dapao's move not only stunned everyone present, but even the figure behind the screen stood up all of a sudden.

The atmosphere in the entire Xinuang Pavilion suddenly became extremely quiet and eerie.

　There is one more.
