Domineering Daming

At the entrance of the household department, Minister Zhang Bingwen, Minister of Officials Zhao Han, and Minister of Industry Xu Dahua, listening to the deafening shouts through the city wall, and watching the continuous emergence of "common people", their faces were quite emotional.

Xu Dahua approached the two newly favored leaders of the "imperial party" intentionally, and said with a smile, "The emperor will be the emperor after all, I can't wait."

Zhang Bingwen knew that Xu Dahua was a slippery person, he was rigid and upright by nature, and he didn't like it, but after listening to this sentence, he nodded in agreement and said: "The emperor has always had great ambitions, and I can only see him today. The blessings of all the people in the world, and the blessings of Ming Dynasty."

Zhao Han glanced at the two with a smile, and said: "These can actually be seen from the clues of the past, we still need to understand more, we can't always wait for the emperor to say everything openly, then I would be too remiss in waiting. "

Zhang Bingwen has been in the household department for a long time, and he has been very close to Fu Changzong. If he realized something, he said: "What Mr. Zhao said is true. I remember that Mr. Fu once said to me that although the emperor likes to take the edge of the sword, he is far from the 'right way. ', but after thinking about it, it is also compatible, but it may not be possible at the time."

After all, Xu Dahua is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. He has been in the court for many years, and he said after hearing it: "It is true. As a minister of the court, we should share the worries of the emperor. We can't ask for things in a rigid way. If we can't solve the problem, we will have to fight with other people." What's the difference?"

Zhang Bingwen and Zhao Han looked at Xu Dahua in surprise, they didn't expect him to say such insightful words.

"Master Zhang, Master Zhao, Master Xu, hurry up, the cabinet has called us to Chengtian Gate..."

They were talking about Shen Yongmao, Zhang Wenda, and Shen Xun, who walked around Daming Gate and came from the other side in a carriage, Shen Xun greeted them.

The three of them were all startled, Shen Yongmao said again: "I can't go through the East and West Princess Gates, so go around to the Donghua Gate, hurry up, maybe you have to go to the Chengtian Gate and change into court clothes."

The three of them were startled, they didn't have time to elaborate, they hurriedly changed their clothes and summoned the carriage.

While the six departments of the cabinet were in a hurry, there were more and more alarmed places. I don't know how many people rushed towards the Chengtian Gate, but they were all blocked by the crowd, so they had to watch from a distance and listened to Zhu Xu's story on the Chengtian Gate. speak.

Duke Ying, Duke Ding and others stood under the eaves with complex expressions, listening to the shouts like waves, their hearts were also fluctuating and unsettled.

Cao Wenzhao, Zhang Zhiji and other generals who were on the go, listened to the laughter and became more excited and full of pride.

Wei Liangqing, He Yunshan and Zhu Xu's business helpers all stood on the attic, watching from afar, with agitated hearts and a smile on their faces.

Liu Rushi in the east of the city was standing in the courtyard, listening to Su Xi's return, she didn't know what expression she should have on her face, but there was a strong impulse in her heart, which made her unable to calm down, what she wanted to do, but she didn't know at all What to do, her pretty face flushed, she held the pen tightly in her hand, her lips were biting blood, and her eyes were crying.

At this time, even those academies, literati, great Confucians, famous scholars, etc. who have always held hatred and hostility towards Zhu Xu, and who often scolded him, all moved their mouths at this time, unable to utter a word, and remained indifferent .

Chapter 920 Cabinet Declaration

In front of Chengtianmen, the waves of sound came and went, still high-pitched, piercing the sky.

Standing on the stool, Zhu Xu looked down at all of this. He finally felt that everything he had paid was worthwhile and rewarded. Such an intuitive performance under his nose made his heart flutter and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Xiao Yongning stood not far from the bench, raised his head, listened to the voice, was very strange, looked around at the people, his little face was full of doubts.

"Xiangjun, what's the matter?" She pulled Li Xiangjun over and asked in a low voice.

Li Xiangjun pulled her to a corner and said in a low voice, "These people are here to thank you."

Although she couldn't hear clearly, the little girl still nodded in confusion. She didn't understand why so many people thanked each other and made such a big noise?

As for Zhu Xu's words, she listened very carefully, but she didn't feel that there was anything wrong with it. What was there to be excited about?

She looked at Zhu Xu with wide eyes, and felt that the emperor's uncle was very majestic at this time, like a majestic general, and it would be great if she could be like this one day.

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and the others were dressed in imperial uniforms, and went up the tower with great momentum, and came not far from Zhu Xu's side. Just as they were about to salute, Zhu Xu waved his hands calmly.

Zhu Xu stood there motionless, looking down at the world.

Crowded with people, heels to toes, the crowd is like weaving, densely packed, all eyes are full of human heads, black and dense, stretching out, as if there is no end.

He was waiting, until the excitement of the crowd had passed, and there was still work to be done below.

Getting rid of the "low status" is not as simple as being pardoned and released from prison. This kind of kindness will really make many people work hard, touch their hearts, and never forget it.

The shouting has not been lowered for a long time, but it is still high, endless, rolling like a tide.

After the five members of the cabinet, the six ministers also went up to the tower, and stood behind the cabinet ministers, looking at Zhu Xu with his back turned to them with different eyes.

After a while, Zhu Xu stretched out his right hand and pressed down.

The people below, especially the ones at the front, quickly fell silent, and then a little further away, and then a little further away. It didn't take long for most of them to stop, and then everyone.

No matter how far or near, everyone looked up at the Chengtianmen, at the only exposed figure standing there, His Majesty the Ming Emperor, who looked small but unattainable——Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu is now sober, holding a loudspeaker, and using all his strength, he shouted: "I have confidence, determination, and perseverance. I am bound to complete the revival of the Ming Dynasty. I will not have a single poor man in the Ming Dynasty! Achieve the goal, never retreat, never give up, never give up!"

Maybe the people were tired of shouting, or maybe they were expecting Zhu Xu to say more.

Zhu Xu looked at them and said resolutely: "This is the oath made by me, the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. If you violate this oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth! I, the descendants of the Zhu family, must not betray each other!"

The "people" below heard this with their eyes wide open, their hearts beating like drums, as if they were about to suffocate.

When had they ever heard such an oath?This is His Majesty the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the tallest person in the world!

The people were so shocked that they couldn't speak, and looked up with their necks stuck.

Zhu Xu calmed down and said, "That's all I'm going to say. Next is Zuo Cifu of the cabinet, and Bi Ziyan is speaking!"

The person who heard clearly was stunned for a moment, before he could react, he raised his head in a daze.

Bi Ziyan stood on a stool, also holding a big horn in his hand. First he turned sideways to salute Zhu Xu, and then he looked down at the sea of ​​people below, feeling a little nervous.But immediately, Old Bi Ge's expression was gloomy, and he said in a lukewarm way: "My official is Bi Ziyan, and the cabinet is Zuo Cifu. You are not allowed to speak below, listen to me."

The people below still raised their heads, but they were a little puzzled and a little scared.

Zhu Xu couldn't help laughing, and let out a breath in his heart to relieve his nervous and excited mood.

Bi Ziyan's tone was full of majesty and unquestionable domineering, and he had the demeanor of the "chief assistant" of the cabinet. He said: "The cabinet is firm, decisive, and unanimously supports the emperor and the 'New Deal'. The ultimate goal is: there are no poor people in the world." , are all members of Ming Dynasty! The cabinet will firmly promote the 'New Deal', get rid of all evils, and establish a fair, upright, proud, and prosperous Daming unprecedented in ancient and modern times!"

Before the people could react, Bi Ziyan put down his loudspeaker to signal to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head secretly, picked up the loudspeaker, and said, "Below, is the right assistant of the Ming Dynasty, Sun Chengzong."

Sun Chengzong was more calm than Bi Ziyan. He stood on the right side of Zhu Xu, saluted Zhu Xu, then picked up the trumpet and said in a deep voice: "This official is Sun Chengzong, the right assistant of the cabinet. What I want to talk about is the army. My Ming army guards the Quartet. From the founding of the Taizu to the present, I have fought and died for the country and the people, but! Some people have been suppressing, even maliciously slandering, framing the soldiers, hindering their future, looking down on them, despising them, my official I can't bear it! I have already requested the emperor's approval. From now on, the military household registration will be abolished. All Ming soldiers will be treated normally. Their food and salaries will not be deducted, their military merits will not be deprived, and they will be compensated for the wounded and killed in battle! Everyone will get fair and equitable promotion opportunities! The army is the pillar of the country and the Great Wall of the people! It deserves the respect of everyone, including me!"

The people below were a little dazed, what the two elders said was not as exciting as the emperor, and it sounded empty.

After Sun Chengzong finished speaking, he signaled to Zhu Xu regardless of the reaction below.

Zhu Xu felt emotionally in his heart, these grown-ups usually talk about it cheerfully, but at this moment they are stinging words like gold.

However, he also understood that these people didn't like to "show their faces" like this, so he had to pick up the loudspeaker again, and said, "Next, are the ministers of the cabinet, the governor of the Governor's Council, Prince Jing, everyone welcome."

Prince Jing's expression was very tense. When he stepped on the bench, he was almost unsteady and fell down. After saluting reluctantly to Zhu Xu, he turned down this time.

How could he have seen so many people? Fortunately, there were two people in front of him. They were prepared a lot. They held a loudspeaker and said loudly to the front: "This king, Zhu Luhu, is the director of the Governor's Council. The Governor's Council will supervise the imperial court." All the laws and disciplines, severely punishing traitors and sycophants, cracking down on corrupt officials, curbing random governance, ensuring that the court is efficient, clean, and upholding the public, always serving the country and the people, rather than fighting for power and profit, forming parties for selfish interests, and disrupting the government! The Governor's Council will always be firm If anyone dares to slander the emperor, frame the court, or destroy the 'New Deal', the Governor's Council will be merciless and deal with it severely!"

The "common people" below, although they were a little excited to hear "strike against corrupt officials", they were just "some".

After Prince Jing finished speaking, he looked down again, and then gestured to Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu was no longer surprised, picked up the loudspeaker, and said: "The following are the ministers of the cabinet, Minister of Dali Temple, Wang Qiaonian, everyone welcome!"
