Domineering Daming

Liu Shimin didn't dare to think about this scene, and said in confusion, "Your Majesty... the court adults probably won't agree?"

Cao Huachun picked up the teacup, continued to smile and remained silent.

Liu Shimin looked at Cao Huachun's expression, his feverish forehead suddenly calmed down, a wry smile appeared on his face, and said, "You... tell me specifically, what does the emperor think?"

Cao Huachun shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Liu Shimin was dragged in for a while, but after calming down for a while, he came to his senses, looked at Cao Huachun and said, "Okay, let's talk, otherwise, if the news gets out, my small classroom will definitely be blown up by the adults outside." gone."

Cao Huachun also rarely had time to chat with Liu Shimin, jokingly, and said with a slightly serious face: "As for Chahar, I can see that the emperor intends to make a decision early. It is indeed necessary to deal with it as soon as possible, so as not to be too big. But the specific method The emperor didn't say anything, he just talked to Mr. Sun Ge and others, and then told Andashan that the date of the crusade was set on the first day of April."

Liu Shimin listened with a strange expression on his face.

The military situation has always been kept secret, how can anyone tell the enemy the specific date of the war before the war?

Liu Shimin is not those outsiders, who would think that Zhu Xu is so overjoyed and overwhelmed by the "martial arts" in front of him. He knows very well in his heart that His Majesty the Emperor in Qianqing Palace is very calm. when.

Turning around, he couldn't figure out the mystery, so he looked at Cao Huachun and said, "Then, what should I do?"

Cao Huachun came this time mainly because of that purpose, he pondered, and said: "Find a time, tell Bi Gelao and others a thing or two, don't say too much."

Liu Shimin looked at him, his eyes moved slightly, he nodded knowingly, and said, "Okay, I'll have some tea with Mr. Bi Ge sometime."

After saying this, Cao Huachun said: "The emperor has read that memorial."

Liu Shimin also knew Zhu Xu very well, so his eyes sank immediately, and he said, "Well, what is the emperor's intention?"

Today's Emperor His Majesty has been "deviating from the scriptures" for a long time, and the government and the public have criticized him countless times. For this reason, he was killed and even sentenced to countless times.In this grand martial arts performance, the might of the artillery is in the eyes of the world, and it is normal for the government and the public to be frightened, but how will the emperor react this time?

Cao Huachun looked as usual, took out a note and handed it to Liu Shimin without saying much.

These are Zhu Xu's original words recorded by Cao Huachun. They need to be polished, drafted an imperial decree, and sent to Qianqing Palace for sealing.

Liu Shimin took it over and glanced at it, his expression changed slightly.

"Artillery has been everywhere in the world. My Ming Dynasty is destroyed today, and the western barbarians attack tomorrow. How can I resist? How can I build the Great Wall on the sea? Will my Ming Dynasty be imprisoned forever like pigs and sheep, bullied at will, and just surviving? Short-sighted and selfish Narrow-minded, abandoning the responsibilities of the family and the country with one's own selfishness, making false statements about state affairs, not caring about the heart, having no structure, and his heart can be punished."

These words indeed refute the memorial, which is irrefutable from a high-level perspective and a long-term perspective.However, with these words, I am afraid that many people will "die with shame". The most important thing is that the cabinet has no attitude towards this matter. Others don't know, but the cabinet must be very clear. This is also "teaching" them !

How does this make the big people in the cabinet deal with themselves?

Liu Shimin knew that Zhu Xu always cared about the face of the cabinet, and was rarely so direct. He had a bad feeling in his heart, looked up at Cao Huachun, was silent for a while, leaned closer, and said in a low voice: "Tell me honestly, does the emperor intend to replace the cabinet ministers?" ?”

"Replacing cabinet ministers" must start with the "chief assistant".Daming is now the most critical juncture for reform, and too many things are in the "beginning" stage. If at this time the most staunch supporter of the "New Deal" is the sudden downfall of Mr. Bi Ge, the impact will be huge, not to mention the fact that there are still foreign troubles. case.

Cao Huachun didn't think much about it at first, but when he heard Liu Shimin's words, his heart was shaken, and he shook his head with a smile, and said, "Your Majesty probably doesn't have such intentions, as in the past, let's discuss the matter as it stands."

Today's His Majesty is very keen on "uncanny skills and obscenity", and every time the courtiers are embarrassed about it, they will often be reprimanded.

Liu Shimin breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down for a while, and then said: "Then, should this decree be sent to the cabinet, or should people be summoned to read it out in the cabinet?"

Cao Huachun was not sure about the power of this decree, and pondered: "The emperor's meaning is to read it separately, and then the cabinet, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Officials will all issue a document, and it will be reported tomorrow to make it known to the world."

Liu Shimin felt a little relieved when he heard the front, feeling that the emperor cared about the face of the cabinet, and secretly smiled bitterly behind him. This slap seemed to be for those who jointly signed the letter, but once "declared to the world", it was a slap to all the people with similar thoughts in the world human!

I don't know how many people will feel ashamed and angry!

At the same time, those who oppose the "New Deal" and aspire to "not be an official" will grow again, and the number of painting boats on the Qinhuai River will increase.

Liu Shimin shook his head secretly, and said: "Sit down for a while, I'll go to Mr. Bi Ge for some tea, maybe, the cabinet is going to the Qianqing Palace to plead guilty again."

Cao Huachun smiled and didn't say much.

Faced with such a "rebellious" and "talented and bold" emperor, no matter whether he was a believer in the past or Bi Ziyan now, life is not easy.

He sometimes wonders why it seems that the whole world is always against the emperor?

The emperor is obviously the most correct?

This is true before and after!

where is the problem?

Chapter 986 Introspection

Just as Bi Ziyan and the others stepped out of the cabinet, Liu Shimin stood in the middle of the inner door and greeted him not too far away, "Mr. Bi Ge, please stay."

Bi Ziyan was startled, and turned to look at Liu Shimin. This father-in-law Liu rarely walked out of his small room, and his heart moved slightly. Facing Sun Chuanting, Zheng Youyuan whispered, with a smile on his face, he greeted Liu Shimin and said, "Liu Shimin Father-in-law, I am going to have a big discussion, what is the purpose of this?"

Liu Shimin originally just wanted to have a chat with Bi Ziyan, to get the word out, but it was true that he had a purpose, holding Fuchen in his arms, he paused and said: "There is nothing wrong with the miscellaneous family, just thinking about Mr. Bi Ge is tired today. Tonight, how about we have a drink together?"

The corners of Bi Ziyan's eyes were slightly tight, and the person in front of him was No. [-], the emperor's confidant, who had always kept a low profile. How could he find someone to drink tea with?Especially after he said he had a big discussion!

Knowing that Zhu Xu had just returned to the palace, Bi Ziyan thought about it, and invited Zheng Youyuan to say, "Mr. Sun Ge, please preside over the cabinet meeting. I will have some tea with Eunuch Liu."

Zheng Youyuan glanced at Liu Shimin and said, "Yes."

Afterwards, Bi Ziyan looked at Liu Shimin, smiled and said, "Elder-in-law, please."

Liu Shimin nodded with a smile, and followed Bi Ziyan to his classroom.

Although the distance is not far, there is a coldness between the two that makes people dare not approach.

Both of them were worried, and entered Bi Ziyan's classroom one after the other.

There was a small charcoal stove on the right side of Bi Ziyan's table, on which tea was brewing. He poured a hot cup for Liu Shimin, then held the tea and looked at Liu Shimin with a calm expression.

Today's emperor is too powerful, his actions are very different from ordinary people, and his control over power has reached an unbelievable level. Even though it seems that power has been returned to the cabinet and six departments for more than a year, he still firmly controls all aspects of the court.The inspector of ceremonies, known as the "little cabinet" in the past, has long since lost its former glory, but no one dares to underestimate it. After all, this is the closest place to the emperor, and everything goes around. Do not open here.

Liu Shimin has always kept a low profile and never said anything more about government affairs. Even if he was an observer in the cabinet, he just sat there quietly as a "monitor" and "recorder" without saying a word.Now, he suddenly came to Bi Ziyan at this juncture, how could Bi Ziyan not think too much.

After thinking about it, Bi Ziyan still felt that Zhu Xu might have freed up his hands and was about to intervene in the cabinet's "New Deal" plan, so his expression darkened.

Liu Shimin was also under a lot of pressure. While drinking tea, he was thinking about how to talk to Bi Ziyan in a tactful way to have the desired effect.

Putting down his teacup, he smiled and said, "Old Bi Ge, where is the progress of the 'New Deal'?"

really!

Bi Ziyan looked at Liu Shimin, with a smile on his face, and said: "The cabinet, the differences between the six ministries and the local government have been further bridged. I believe there will be a result tonight. I plan to go to the palace overnight to present to the emperor."

These Liu Shimin naturally knew well, and continued to change the topic, saying: "Has the cabinet already planned the dispatch of officials from various places, is there any difficulty?"

Bi Ziyan said: "It has been roughly completed. This time, the mobilization is mainly local officials at the prefecture level. There are about [-] of them. Within two or three days, the Ministry of Officials will submit it to the Supervisor of Rites for the Emperor's approval."

Liu Shimin was just approaching the topic step by step. Hearing the words, he nodded and said, "When it comes to officials from the Nine Towns, can you be cautious?"

The important towns on the nine borders have already existed in name only, especially Liaodong, Jizhou, etc. The rest is Gansu, and Ningxia is still there, in order to guard against Moxi Mongolia.However, in recent years, the number of border raids by Mongolia in Moxi has been very small, and the attention of the imperial court has been greatly reduced.
