Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 76: Since ancient times, officials are not afraid of death

Cao Zhengchun remembered that the last time he was impeached by the officials of the Censor Desk for not being rescued in time because of the White Lotus Sect, he was angry with His Majesty and put the cup in jail.

If this revenge is not repaid, I swear not to be human!

Now, His Majesty asked him to keep an eye on someone who violated the etiquette, and he could justifiably suppress some people by taking the opportunity.

You can think about how sad it will be for these censors to live in the future. After all, they proposed to restore the ancestral system, and they also proposed to go to court every day, so they must be the first to do it. It can be implemented later.

However, they must also understand that there are always a pair of big eyes staring at them all the time, and if they make a little mistake, they will be played to His Majesty.

The next morning.

woo woo ---

The trumpet of the previous court sounded, and after three strong whips sounded, Zhu Houzhao entered the court hall.

This time, he wants to see what forces are at work in the court at that time, preventing him from reforming the Ming Dynasty. Where is this force hiding?

Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao came to the court!

The valet **** stepped forward and shouted to the ministers: "There is a book to play early, and there is no book to retreat!"

"Sir, there is a book to play!"

A censor stepped out of the train, holding an ivory arc, and played to Zhu Houzhao: "Report to your majesty, the sea ban is actually the system of the Taizu, and it cannot be changed, so I would like to ask your majesty to cut off trade with those small countries overseas, To protect the comfort of the people on both sides of the strait!"

"Now that the coastal defense of my Daming Empire is safe, many ships have returned, and the ancestral system is regarded as nothing, which is really the misfortune of my Daming!"

"Sir, there is a book to play!"

The Censor Desk had just finished speaking when another Censor Desk came out and said, "I think that the world is rooted in agriculture, and the so-called scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and merchants, as the most inferior professions, should not be taken seriously."

"However, Your Majesty has violated the ancestral system and placed emphasis on business. I implore Your Majesty to take back the order and abolish the recent series of policies that put emphasis on business!"

Zhu Houzhao had long expected that his reforms would be obstructed, but he did not expect that the obstruction from the Censor was the most severe. There would be a big storm in the Daming Empire in the near future. I didn't expect this storm to come so quickly!

The officials of the Censor's Office came out one by one, and they called on the abolition of the commercial tax.

They thought they knew that Zhu Houzhao was decisive in killing, but today they risked their lives to make suggestions, even if everyone was beheaded, they were loyal to the development of Daming.

From ancient times to the present, there have been censors who were killed on the spot in the imperial court, but censors who were never scared away!

This time, Zhu Houzhao finally felt the stubbornness of the Daming civil servants.

This is not ordinary stubbornness, but a kind of stubbornness that is almost rigid, just like a tendon.

Since ancient times, speech officials are not afraid of death, and they cannot become speech officials if they are afraid of death. Now, Zhu Houzhao is facing this situation.

What's more, these officials cherish their feathers one by one.

If they were executed and stabbed to death by the emperor because of their righteous words, it is estimated that they would gain a great reputation among the scholars, and perhaps the emperor would lose the reputation of being a scumbag.

Zhu Houzhao knew very well what kind of people they were facing. If they didn't give them a look, they wouldn't even know that Daming was still surnamed Zhu!

"It seems that only by teaching you some lessons will you be able to know who feeds you!" Zhu Houzhao scolded secretly in his heart.

At this moment, his aura became more severe, and Cao Zhengchun, who was beside him, couldn't help shaking his body.

Cao Zhengchun was regarded as an internal minister and had spent the longest time with Zhu Hou. He naturally knew that His Majesty was furious, what did it mean?

I don't know how high the sky is and how thick the ground is...

Zhu Houzhao stood up suddenly, and said to the three censors without anger and prestige: "Do you think your advice is useful to me?"

"The minister believes that the most important thing to implement the sea ban policy again is to protect the safety of the people in the coastal areas."

"The minister believes that the policy set by the ancestors must not be destroyed."

"The minister thought that Liu Jian and Liang Chu must be severely punished."

The three censors went around the bend to find reasons for themselves, and tried not to let Zhu Houzhao find out the loopholes.

"Okay, your reasons are very good, and you are very thoughtful."

"However, don't forget, you have mentioned these things many times in your memorials. I hope that every time you go into government, you will discuss some meaningful things."

Zhu Houzhao's voice echoed above the court, and everyone could hear the meaning of his words.

At this time, Cao Zhengchun was letting the people in the West Factory make preparations. As long as Zhu Houzhao gave an order, they could immediately attack the three censors.

However, before they die, Zhu Houzhao wants them to die clearly.

He first said to the first censor who proposed the sea ban policy: "You are talking about the implementation of the sea ban, so that the safety of the coastal people can be protected?"

"Yes, I believe that only a king who is the master of the common people is a good king..."

"Shut up, it's just nonsense. I'm here to ask you, if the sea is banned, how will the resources of the dependent countries enter? How will our silk go out?"

"Also, don't say that there are Japanese pirates at work now, even if they really come to my Daming, I can destroy them too!"

"With my current strength, I can destroy the country of Japanese pirates in two years, and eliminate the hidden dangers of Japanese pirates forever! Why did I establish the Daming Navy? I want to make the world surrender! Let the people of my Daming Empire enjoy peace forever..."

"This..."

Cold sweat broke out on the head of the Censor's desk. Now he was shocked by Zhu Houzhao's domineering, and he was so excited that he couldn't say a word.

Isn't such a Ming Empire what you want to imagine in your mind?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Zhu Houzhao continued: "Did you know that ~www.readwn.com~ just two years ago, Japanese pirates were wanton, what did the people along the coast want?"

"Not only did they defeat the Japanese pirates, but they also wanted to go out to sea. After all, that was their way of life. The reason why Emperor Cheng banned the sea was because of the circumstances at the time, and they had to come to the mainland to survive."

"But, now, it's not what it used to be! Once the people's way of life is cut off, the court is the enemy of the people. Can I take the blame for this?"

Hearing this, the censor hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Zhu Houzhao looked at him, and his anger came from nowhere.

"Didn't you tell me that you want to implement the policy of banning the sea? You go to the Guangdong and Guangxi areas and ask, if the people agree to ban the sea, I will agree."

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this minister, this minister knows it's wrong, and this minister is guilty! This minister..."

The censor standing on the side had already heard the meaning of Zhu Houzhao's words. He vaguely felt that Zhu Houzhao might be bad for them. He really regretted following these people to propose the so-called "policy of governing the country", and his back was soaked with sweat.

Moreover, His Majesty's words already made him unable to open his mouth.

Now I am facing Emperor Zhengde, not the previous Emperor Hongzhi. You must know that Emperor Zhengde is a decisive person who never talks to others.

Daming Empire Weijia at home and abroad, the people of Daming can be loved wherever they go, at least they can't be insulted, because they have a powerful Ming Dynasty behind them.

Only when one's own country is strong can an individual feel honored.

Let all nations come to court!

"No, you are not guilty!"

Zhu Houzhao said lightly, with a genial smile on his face, but the censors all looked at it with trepidation. At least, in their opinion, this is probably not a good sign!
