Chapter 203 Unexpected Opposition

Zhu Shenxuan burst into cold sweat on his head and his whole body trembled.

If the guards of the royal family were completely owned by the Ministry of War, then he and his royal palace would definitely be completely torn apart by all the vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty!

He had various thoughts in his mind and looked behind him from time to time.

But the general trend of the court could not stop it, and the people Zhu Shenxuan bribed were silent at this moment, as if they had not seen him.

Since the general trend was in progress, Zhu Xu no longer asked King Xin in a fake way, and said directly: "Authentication."

Sun Chengzong also knew that this matter should be correct and immediately said: "I obey the order! In addition, I hope to rectify all garrisons across the country to ensure the safety of all royal families and officials and people in the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and looked at Sun Chengzong, and said calmly: "Authentication!"

Sun Chengzong also looked up at Zhu Xu. Seeing that his eyes had a deep meaning, he suddenly felt a move in his heart and said quickly, "I request that I pay 800,000 taels of silver to Liaodong, build defense lines such as Ningyuan, Jinzhou, and ensure the stability of Shanhaiguan."

Zhu Xu didn't even think about it and said, "There are still three million taels of treasury in the treasury, and Liaodong is a hundred wastes. Shanhaiguan must be guarded. Cao Huachun, immediately allocate two million taels to the Ministry of War!"

Cao Huachun immediately bowed to Zhu Xu and said, "Abide by the order!"

The court officials were stunned. The topic was changed too quickly and they had not had time to refute it. Sun Chengzong looked at Zhu Xu and replied, "Emperor, Liaodong's civil servants have always been incompatible. Most of the failures in Liaodong have caused this. I suggest not to set up a strategy."

Zhu Xu looked at Sun Chengzong, smiled in his eyes and said, "Authentication."

"I object!"

Finally, a minister reacted, and the military officer said anxiously: "Emperor, Liaodong is of great importance and must not indulge it at will. I believe that the politicians must be complete and that no one can be made bigger!"

Zhu Xu did not give them a chance to react and said directly, "This is done, let's discuss the mining supervision below."

"Your Majesty, I object!"

Zhu Xu said that it did not mean that the minister would let it go. Yang Lian also stood up and said loudly: "Emperor, now that the thief chief is retreating, will he come to attack for a while? I suggest that the treasury should be used in the pass. Liaodong is in a decay and should take the opportunity to rectify it without too much silver."

The censors of the Censorate stood up one after another and loudly agreed.

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I agree with Lord Yang's discussion! The matters in Liaodong are of great importance and should not be decided in one sentence. I suggest that the cabinet and the six ministries discuss together, and then discuss in the court."

"I also agree that the thief chief retreated this time, and the morale of our Ming Dynasty was in full swing. I think we should revise government affairs as soon as possible, rather than delaying our stay in Liaodong."

All seven or eight people agreed in a row.

Zhu Xu frowned slightly and looked at King Xin and said, "King King Xin, the court must have a clear constitution in the future. Anyone who says "foreignty" will not be entangled. After the court, you will make a statement and engrave it outside the palace gate. If someone violates it, you must be severely punished!"

"emperor!"

Suddenly, the clerk stood up and opposed fiercely: "The court officials are talking about state affairs, which is loyal to the country. How can the emperor be suspicious of the court officials because of his words!"

"Since ancient times, there have been countless loyal ministers who have splattered blood from the golden pillars. Please ask the emperor to keep his personal direct words and keep away from the villain!"

"If you listen to both sides, you will be clear; if you listen to both sides, you will be dark. I ask the emperor to give up this proposal!"

"Your Majesty, I object!"

"I object!"

"I would like to think twice!"

This time, the opposition was almost spread throughout the court in just a few breaths. Even Sun Chengzong, Gu Bingqian and others frowned, and even Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu had their expressions slightly changed.

Zhu Xu sat upright, his eyes swept over the ministers who were overwhelmed by the slaughter, and skipped the anxious eyes of Fu Changzong and others.

After Ye Xiang's courtiers finished speaking, he stood up and looked up at Zhu Xu and said, "Report to the emperor, the old minister believes that this is inappropriate and should be taken back."

Yang Lian also came out again and said: "The emperor, the bloodstains on the history books, and all the wise kings are broad-minded and can accept ten thousand words. All the foolish kings favor slandered ministers and listen to them in a partial way. The emperor must not repeat the same mistakes!"

Gu Bingqian looked at the ministers bowing all over the head, among whom he was among his. The emperor caused the anger of the public. Thinking of Wei Guanghui and Shengyuan Inn who were pulled out, he gritted his teeth and stood up to Zhu Xu: "I think the emperor's argument is very appropriate. The court has always had no rules. One thing can be argued for several days, and border affairs and government affairs are delayed without knowing what he is. Therefore, I believe that there should be rules when encountering things, and you should not act randomly, quarrel continuously, and harm the country and the people."

Gu Bingqian's words make sense, but they are actually standing opposite to the court officials. Most of the power of court officials comes from the sound of court officials. Once the "sound" is restricted, it means that their power will be restricted. Correspondingly, the imperial power will be expanded!

This is completely contrary to the tradition of the Ming Dynasty. They have been trying to restrict the monarchy!

"I oppose Mr. Gu's words!"

Sure enough, the engineering department clerk stood up and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, it is a big taboo for the country to abolish words because of the words and deprive them of evil and righteousness!"

"I also oppose the words of Mr. Gu!" The censor of the Censorate objected simultaneously, and his voice was almost sharp: "Since ancient times, there have been hundreds of schools of thought in the court, in order to ensure completeness. The emperor must not block the court's mouth and ruin national affairs!"

Soon, more people stood up and refuted Gu Bingqian fiercely, and even covered the hat of the "crazy monarch" on Zhu Xu's head.

Zhu Xu didn't expect that such a proposal would cause such a loud noise of opposition. She sat there, tapping her fingers on the table, her eyes calmly with a little smile.

This is the second time he went to court. If he couldn't suppress it, he would be even more uncontrollable for the third time.

However, the opposition from the court officials this time seems really difficult to refute. Even if he suppresses it with power, it will only make the opposition louder.

This time, the court discussion was not only the original court officials, but also the former chief minister of the cabinet, Ye Xianggao, and the representatives of the vassal kings. If he retreated, it would be even more difficult to do things in the future.

The hall was quiet, and the courtiers all looked up at him, even if they bent, they still looked up, looking straight at him, as if Zhu Xu would never give up until he took his life back.

Zhu Xu tapped his fingers on the table, raised a smile on the corner of his mouth, looked at Zhu Youjian, and said, "Brother Xinwang, what do you think about this?"

King Xin also opposed Zhu Xu's blocking of the court officials' comments. He frowned and said, "Your Majesty, I also think that this should not be stipulated. However, excessive quarrels among the court officials will delay state affairs. I suggest that everything should be discussed by the cabinet and the department before going to the court so that it can be decided quickly."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes. In the words of King Xin, it seemed to be stable, but in fact it was a distrust of him and intended to take power into the cabinet.

Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged and turned to Sun Chengzong and said, "Gemaster Sun, what do you think?"

Sun Chengzong had the most contradictory and complex thoughts. He wanted to speak loudly and not to let the emperor be deceived, but also wanted to handle government affairs more efficiently. He hesitated and stood up and said, "Return to the emperor, I agree with the words of the king."

Zhu Xu turned to Yang Lian again and said, "Mr. Yang, what do you think?"

Yang Lian stepped out and said decisively: "I also agree with His Highness Xin Wang's words."

Zhu Xu nodded, turned his eyes back to the cabinet chief Gu Bingqian, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, we will follow the report of King Xin." (To be continued.)
