Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 399 Dare You Just Want To Deal With Me?
Zhu Su didn't expect this at all. Among the civil servants, the faction that favored Hu Weiyong had already been taken care of by Old Zhu.The "cabinet" in charge of Zhu Biao and the "Eastern Zhejiang" faction who were previously incompatible with Hu Weiyong's party should be the ones who hold great power among the civil servants.

Needless to say, the cabinet, the current cabinet officials are mostly young officials with small powers, and now they can only be regarded as Lao Zhu's mouthpiece, so naturally they will not object to Lao Zhu's intentions.

As for the literati in eastern Zhejiang... In Zhu Su's impression, most of these people were former Yuan court demoted officials. Because of the change of dynasty, they naturally became Zhu Ming's courtiers.Against the "Huaixi" lineage that followed Lao Zhu's command from the beginning, they will naturally be a head shorter.

It is also because of this that most of these people are just following the steps and dawdling around, and they don't dare to directly oppose Lao Zhu's resolution.

But now, he could clearly hear the whispers of these people?Is there any part of this will that affects their vital interests?

Zhu Su secretly turned his head curiously, and looked at the civil servants who were clamoring.

With just a few glances, Zhu Su naturally couldn't understand the thoughts of these civil servants.However, he also saw a person who appeared unexpectedly: Han Gong Li Shanchang was standing at the forefront of the civilian queue.However, he did not participate in the discussion, and he was completely different from those civil servants.Just standing there in a very respectful manner.

Seeing Zhu Su turning his head to look, he even bowed to Zhu Su very respectfully and quietly.

"Why is he here?" Zhu Su was puzzled.

Logically speaking, the Duke of Han has already retired and does not hold a real position in the court, so there is no need to come to the court meeting.

Like Chengyi Bo Liu Bowen, they were all kept in the capital because of their status as teachers and friends with Lao Zhu, so that they could be consulted all the time.

Could it be that because Hu Weiyong fell from his party and there were not enough officials in the court for a while, Lao Zhu asked Li Shanchang to come back and take the lead?
Before he could think about it carefully, he heard the old Zhu above him say: "Why, is there something wrong?"

The tone is quite bad.

In all fairness, this award is considered very frugal.After all, he is his own son, and he only needs the treasury to pay for the expenses of some vassal kings' opening of the house and building their teeth, and it will be sent away.

If Xu Da's army escorting the spoils returns, then the rewards for Xu Da and the army will be the best among the big ones.

Hearing the words in the hall, there was a sudden silence, and there was a little chatter. An official came out and said cautiously: "Return to Your Majesty, the official position in the court is the most important weapon of the country. How can it be taken lightly?"

"Your Majesty, give it some more time to think about it..."

"Not to be taken lightly?" Old Zhu raised his eyebrows. "Of our three sons, the fourth one charged forward and killed Naha's generals; the fifth one planned strategies to stabilize the situation in Ji Town; even the second one stayed in Changli and appeased countless refugees."

"This credit is a bit more than the vast majority of you here. If you can't be with them, can you be with you?"

The hundred officials hesitated when they heard the words, there was really no way to refute them.All meritorious service, there is nothing greater than military merit, which is why the Huaixi nobles always overwhelm them.

Now these three princes are considered to have military exploits.With such superficial reasons, it is really overwhelming.

"Your Majesty." Yang Xunwen, Minister of Rites, came out and said. "Although the three Highnesses have made great achievements, the imperial treasures are not used to reward merit."

"According to common sense, those who have made military achievements should be rewarded with titles. And those who are officials are for your Majesty, your herdsmen. You should not only focus on merit, but pay more attention to their talents..."

"Your highnesses are still young, and I think that it is not suitable to take on this important task for the time being."

"Reward with a title?" But Zhu Xun, who was already unhappy, laughed. "Master Yang, do you want to make this king an uncle, or a marquis?"

"Does this king still want to thank you, Mr. Yang?"

"I don't dare. Your highnesses are already kings, so naturally they can't be rewarded with titles." Yang Xunwen obviously came prepared, but just smiled and said: "I think that for the two highnesses, King Qin and King Wu, they can be rewarded with gold. Silver. It can also be like His Royal Highness King Yan, conferring military duties in Jinyiwei..."

Even when Zhu Xun spoke provocatively, Yang Xunwen remained humble.Zhu Xi had nothing to say when he heard the words.After all, the solution given by the old man is indeed good.Are civil and military officials not the same as officials?As far as he, Zhu Xing himself, he prefers to be a military officer.After all, I can't even hold a pen steady, so why should I be a right-handed imperial censor?

It's better to mix with the big soldiers and worry about it!
Not only Zhu Xi, but everyone praised Yang Xunwen's words well.But Lao Zhu, who was at the top, was already impatient.

He only heard him say: "You also know that the officials are for our herdsmen. You are all officials, not to mention that they will become vassal kings in the future."

"They will all be the masters of defense in the future. In terms of position, it is even more important than you. If they don't understand government affairs, won't they be led by the nose?"

"Regardless of academic and military positions, it is necessary for their brothers to have experience in all aspects."

"Maybe you understand our painstaking efforts?"

"Let's ask one last question, we want these three children to practice in court."

"Which of you is for and who is against?"

The tone is firm and will not be defied.

Obviously, this matter was just a formality in the court, and it was already a certainty in Lao Zhu's mind.

Having said all this, the noise in the queue of civil servants also stopped abruptly.Zhu Su watched coldly for a long time, still confused.

On the one hand, Lao Zhu and these civil servants were single-minded, wanting to appoint officials to his brothers;

It's understandable that Lao Zhu suddenly wants to seal them their real jobs.But those civil servants... their brothers are all princes, and they are at the feet of the emperor. Even if they have real positions, they will not do evil under Lao Zhu's nose.

What are these civil servants guarding against with their attitude?
The officials were silent for a while, thinking that seeing the emperor's insistence, it was not a big deal after all, so they retreated in spite of the difficulties.

Who knows that Yang Xunwen gritted his teeth, as if he had made some determination, suddenly knelt down on both knees, kowtowed to Lao Zhu: "Your Majesty's intention, I know it."

"However, please forgive me, Your Majesty. I have something to say, and I must say it clearly to Your Majesty here."

"The King of Qin and the King of Yan paid officials for training, I think it's all right."

"However, His Royal Highness King Wu, even though he has one or two small merits, he also has five major crimes when he came out of Ji Town."

"You must not be paid by the Imperial College for offering sacrifices to wine!"

After finishing speaking, he dropped his body and said no more.

Zhu Su was taken aback when he heard this.The five deadly sins?
Where did I provoke these officials, dare these people try their best, but in fact they just want to deal with me?
