Domineering Daming

They have indeed upheld the ancestral system, worked hard to protect it, and made it to where they are today.But everyone knows that the ancestral system has long been beyond recognition and riddled with holes.They used to regard the ancestral system as extremely important and regarded it as life, but now Zhu Xu asked them to have "original aspirations", which really slapped them in the face, but they still couldn't answer a word.

I can't agree, because many ancestral systems no longer exist, and they can never be restored now, because many of them were deliberately destroyed by them, how do you agree?

Can't object, what's wrong with restoring the ancestral system?Who dares to say that the ancestral system is wrong?Haven't they been governing the world with the "ancestral system"?How to send it right?

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong, etc. once again experienced Zhu Xu's tricks, hitting their weak spots with a few words, making them unable to speak or shout, so they could only feel extremely uncomfortable, and gritted their teeth and endured it.

Zhu Xu's eyes swept over the backs of more than 20 people one by one, with a majestic expression, he walked forward slowly, and said: "Taizu founded the country and went through all kinds of difficulties and dangers. Now we are not as easy as Taizu. We have to follow Taizu and The original intention of the founding fathers to look at the situation of my Ming Dynasty is to have a grand strategy, a game of chess in the world, to solve the problem from the root, not to cure the foot when the foot hurts, or to treat the head when the headache hurts, we must follow the pulse of Daming and prescribe the overall medicine!"

Zhu Xu passed the crowd, turned to face them, looked at them, and said in a deep voice: "The situation we are facing is not the same as that of Taizu. We must uphold our original intentions, use a new attitude, a new angle, a new system, and a new way of thinking. Methods, new means, and new strategies to deal with the threat of the current Ming Dynasty. We need to carefully summarize a series of problems before and after the Ming Dynasty, analyze the root causes, and plan ten-year, 20-year, or even 50-year plans! We cannot rest on our laurels , let alone fit one’s feet, how should we view the ‘ancestral system’, how should we view a series of state affairs from the Taizu to the present... etc. These are things that we must be serious, frank, not shy, and not afraid to face!”

Zhu Xu smashed the big principles, looked at the ugly expressions of these adults, and continued: "What is the foundation of my Ming Dynasty, what is the foundation of the country, what is the way, what festivals, what is the way of the emperor, what is the foundation of the country? Is it the way to be a minister... Is it still appropriate? I think we all need to seriously review and reflect! We can't sleep on the merit books of our ancestors, and we can't expect saints to shine for thousands of years and tell us How can we face the threats now. The road is for us to walk, we have to see with our eyes, listen with our ears, and think with our hearts! Now, my fellow ministers, we need a new 'eye' to look at the series of problems we face And threats, we have to figure out a solution on our own, paving the way for us and our children and grandchildren!"

In the hall, it was eerily quiet, and cold sweat was already streaming from many people's faces.

Zhu Xu's words, if put in other people's mouths, must be "rebellious", enough to pull them out and use capital punishment!

But the words were said by the emperor Zhu Xu, especially the big truths, which made them unable to refute, but it was extremely conflicting with their consistent thoughts, actions, and habits, which made them quite uncomfortable, and they couldn't say a word.

Zhu Xu stood in front of Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong, glanced at them, and said, "I plan to establish a strategy department to summarize all the threats my Ming faces, formulate various grand strategies for my Ming, and promote All levels of my Ming Dynasty have restored their "initial aspirations", planning the development direction of my Ming Dynasty for the next few decades, as the highest outline of my Ming Dynasty's governance, what do you think?"

"I agree!" As soon as Zhu Xu finished speaking, Fu Changzong stood up immediately.

"I agree!" Zhou Yingqiu was immediately second.

"The minister agrees." The third is Zhang Bingwen, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

"I agree." Zhao Han, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was the fourth.

"The minister agrees." Guo Guangxin, the new minister of the Ministry of War.

"The minister agrees!" said Xu Dahua, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

"The minister agrees." Shen Xun, Minister of Rites.

"The minister agrees." Fang Kongzheng, Governor of Jiangsu.

……

Zhu Xu's voice fell, and one after another stood up, no matter what they thought in their hearts, the situation was overwhelming, and they couldn't help thinking about it.

"I agree." Yu Dacheng said.

"I agree." Shen Congyi said.

"I agree." Yang Jingchen said.

"The minister agrees." Wang Qiaonian, the cabinet minister.

"The minister agrees." The cabinet minister Jing Wang.

"My minister... agrees." Sun Chuanting, a cabinet minister.

In a short period of time, more than 20 people in the hall have already stood up.

Cao Huachun stood on the top, looking at the people who stood up, his heart was slightly relieved.The Qianqing Palace's control over the foreign court is still the strongest after all, not comparable to anyone else.

The last remaining ones are Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong.These two were the only ones in the Manchu Dynasty who dared to "bargain" with Zhu Xu.

Although Bi Ziyan had read too many sage books and his mind was a little rigid, he had a well-rounded set of ideas. After hearing what Zhu Xu said, he still couldn't fully understand it. The main reason was that he didn't know what Zhu Xu wanted to do and how to do it. How many powers and responsibilities does this "Strategy Department" have, and who will take it up?

Bi Ziyan put aside Zhu Xu's great principles, directly raised his hand to Zhu Xu, and said, "May I ask the emperor, what is the position of this strategy department in the imperial court? What rank does it belong to? Who is the official?"

Zhu Xu pretended to think for a moment, and said: "No rank, no rank, no authority, only suggestions, no execution, no orders. Well, each province will select three people to enter Beijing next year to form a national parliament. The Ministry of Strategy makes plans, reports to this parliament, and after deliberation by the national parliament, feeds back to the cabinet and various departments or local governments..."

This "national parliament" is an alternative method because the governors of various places cannot stay in Beijing for a long time, and the specific powers and responsibilities have not yet been clarified.

Bi Ziyan thought about it for a while, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. If this is the case, the situation is not serious. He pondered for a while, then raised his hand and said: "I understand, I have no objection."

Sun Chengzong glanced at Bi Ziyan and sighed inwardly.He is probably the calmest person in the entire hall. When did the emperor act so seriously and be like this "drizzle and breeze"?It was obvious that there were other important matters in the future. If they nodded at this time, they would not be left behind.

Although Sun Chengzong could see that Zhu Xu had pulled Bi Ziyan in, he couldn't wake up Bi Ziyan at this time, let alone oppose Zhu Xu, so he raised his hand and said, "I agree."

Chapter 1076

As soon as Sun Chengzong's words fell, this matter became the consensus of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the monarch and his ministers.

Zhu Xu was very satisfied, smiling, with his hands behind his back, feeling a little uneasy in his heart.

The matter of the national parliament has been settled long ago, and various places are still groping, "going through the process", and many people have not yet realized the development prospects of this "parliament".

At the same time, the strategy department can discover the subtleties, and there are probably very few of them.

When the establishment is completed next year, Zhu Xu will be able to worry less, and some wonderful prospects are already floating in front of his eyes.

Just in this gap, an inner eunuch appeared from the side door and whispered something in Cao Huachun's ear.

Cao Huachun frowned, waved him back, then went down the steps, came behind Zhu Xu, and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, Nanzhili Feige sent a letter saying that those who were exiled were not far from the sea. Then they made a lot of noise, jumped into the sea and died dozens of people, leaving behind a blood book."

coming!

Zhu Xu had expected that this matter would not end so easily, so he asked calmly, "What is written in blood?"

Cao Huachun glanced at Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and others, and said in a low voice: "The minister of subjugation is eternal. The king of subjugation is eternal."

The corners of Zhu Xu's eyes twitched, and the corners of his mouth were indifferent.

Before he could react, the faces of Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong who were not far away suddenly changed, and they suddenly raised their hands together and said, "Your Majesty!"

They were too close, no matter how soft Cao Huachun's voice was, they could still hear him.

Zhu Xu raised his hand, interrupted their words, and with his hands behind his back, he looked around the courtiers in the hall indifferently, with an emotionless tone, and said in a straightforward manner: "Nan Zhili just passed the letter by flying pigeons, those who were exiled, Dozens of them jumped off the ship and died, leaving behind a blood book, which read, "The minister of the subjugated country, through the ages. The king of the subjugated country, through the ages." The irony is naked... It must have spread throughout the whole of Nanzhili by now. It's all hot, dear friends, what do you think?"

Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong frowned, and the bad premonition came out again.

Not only the two of them, some ministers who had been with Zhu Xu for a long time, looked tense and their hearts beat secretly.

It's all the same idea: this matter is such a big deal, how could the emperor let it go so easily!

Nanzhili has just killed two or 300 people. This is another sudden incident. What can we do now?

Everyone couldn't help but looked at each other left and right, with embarrassment on their faces.

Zhu Xu's majesty was too heavy, he didn't show his attitude, and no one would talk nonsense, even Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu.

Zhu Xu looked at Bi Ziyan on the left, and said, "Old Bi Ge, tell me."

Bi Ziyan's mind is now full of thoughts. The situation is already very serious. Nanzhili must not be chaotic again. If Nanzhili is depressed, the whole Ming Dynasty will be implicated. At this time, it must not be done!
