"According to the order."

A group of people came out one after another and bowed to receive the order.

Zhu Shenxuan looked at the happy King Xin, and his heart was full of anger. He looked up at the little emperor who was not in his eyes, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, there has been a severe drought in Shanxi recently, and there are many disaster victims, and there are even more rioters everywhere. Taiyuan, I hereby request to increase the guards of the royal palace to protect the safety of the royal family."

"The minister agrees!"

As soon as Zhu Shenxuan's words fell, the censor came out and said: "Your Majesty, now that wars are raging all over the place, the clan and princes have nothing to rely on, and I hope to increase the guards by five hundred to ensure safety!"

Then two more came out. Although their voices were cryptic, they both supported this argument.

If there is support, there will naturally be opposition, especially the Ming court, which has always tried its best to contain the vassal kings, so naturally they will not allow it easily.

After arguing and arguing for a while, Zhu Xu looked at Sun Chengzong and said, "Mr. Sun Ge, what do you think?"

Although the palace has certain guards, it is the responsibility of the guards and the Ministry of War to protect the city and wipe out the rioters.

Sun Chengzong stood up, his face was like a star, he was heroic, and he said in a clear voice: "Back to the emperor, I think Shanxi is still stable, and there is no big war. The guards in all places are well equipped, and there is a big city as an obstacle. I don't think there is any threat to the stability of the clan. Doom."

Zhu Shenxuan glanced at Sun Chengzong, and said: "Back to the emperor, Chengdu and Chongqing have fallen several times, and the father and the others are also planning ahead, and the five hundred guards do not need to be supported by the court, and we should wait for the palace to bear it."

Sun Chengzong listened to Zhu Shenxuan's words, pondered for a while, then raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, the safety of the clan is really important. I suggest that all the guards of the royal palaces from all over the country should be incorporated into the guards of the various places, and they will be trained in turn on weekdays. Every princely palace must be safe."

After Sun Chengzong's words fell, not only Zhu Shenxuan, but even King Ping and King Xin changed their expressions slightly.

Sun Chengzong's words were too poisonous. Not only did he mean not to expand the bodyguards for the vassal kings, but he also wanted to dig out their original bodyguards and transfer them to the Ministry of War!

Even Zhu Xu on the dragon chair squinted his eyes, forced his lips together, and suppressed a smile.

This was not taught by him, it was entirely Sun Chengzong's own idea.

This is also completely in line with the tradition of the Ministry of War, trying to include all soldiers and horses in the world.

Chapter 203 Unexpected Opposition

Cold sweat broke out on Zhu Shenxuan's head, and his whole body trembled.

If the guards of the clan are completely owned by the Ministry of War, then he and his palace will definitely be completely torn apart by all the princes of Ming Dynasty!

Various thoughts swirled in his mind, and he glanced behind him from time to time.

But the imperial court could not stop the situation, and the few people that Zhu Shenxuan had bribed were also silent at the moment, as if none of them saw him.

Now that the general trend is going, Zhu Xu didn't pretend to ask Xin Wang any more, and said directly: "Zu Zuo."

Sun Chengzong also knew that this matter should be straightforward, so he immediately said: "I obey the order! In addition, I hope that all guards in the country will be rectified to ensure the safety of all clans, officials and people in the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and glanced at Sun Chengzong, and said calmly: "Zuzao!"

Sun Chengzong also raised his head and looked at Zhu Xu, seeing the deep meaning in his eyes, his heart suddenly moved, and he said quickly: "I ask you to send 80 taels of silver to Liaodong to build defense lines such as Ningyuan and Jinzhou to ensure the stability of Shanhaiguan."

Zhu Xu didn't even think about it, and said: "There are still 300 million taels of domestic funds. Liaodong is completely ruined. Shanhaiguan must be guarded. Cao Huachun, immediately allocate 200 million taels to the Ministry of War!"

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

The courtiers were stunned, the topic changed too quickly, and they hadn't had time to refute.Sun Chengzong looked at Zhu Xu, and said again: "Your Majesty, there has always been a disagreement between Liaodong's economics and management, and most of the failures in Liaodong are caused by this. I suggest that there should be no economics."

Zhu Xu looked at Sun Chengzong, a smile flashed in his eyes, and said: "Zuzao."

"I object to this!"

Finally, a minister came to his senses, and Bing Ke said urgently: "Your Majesty, Liaodong is a matter of great importance, and we must not indulge it arbitrarily. I believe that the economics and care must be complete, and we must not make one person bigger!"

Zhu Xu didn't give them a chance to react, and said directly: "This matter, let's discuss the mine supervisor."

"Your Majesty, I object!"

Zhu Xu said that it does not mean that the minister will let it go, Yang Lian also stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, now that the bandit chieftain is retreating, will they come to attack in a while, I suggest that the internal money should be used in the pass. Liaodong is rotten, and we should take the opportunity to rectify it and not use too much money."

The censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate stood up one after another and seconded the proposal loudly.

"My minister agrees."

"I agree with Mr. Yang's proposal! The matter of Liaodong is of great importance and should not be decided in one word. I suggest that the cabinet and six ministries should discuss it together, and then discuss it in the court."

"I also agree that the bandit chiefs have retreated this time, and my morale in Ming Dynasty is at a high level. I think that government affairs should be repaired as soon as possible, instead of delaying in Liaodong."

Seven or eight people in a row all agreed.

Zhu Xu frowned slightly, looked at King Xin and said, "King Xin, from now on, court meetings must have clear regulations, and if I say 'yes', you must not continue to entangle. In addition, anyone who violates the law must be severely punished!"

"emperor!"

Immediately, someone stood up and objected fiercely: "The courtiers are loyal to the country when they talk about state affairs. How can the emperor waste things just because of his words and suspect the courtiers!"

"Since ancient times, loyal words have been harsh to the ears, and countless loyal ministers have blood splashed on the golden pillars. I beg the emperor to be close to the straight and far away from the villain!"

"If you listen to both, you will be enlightened, and if you listen to one side, you will be dark. I ask the emperor to abandon this discussion!"

"Your Majesty, I object!"

"I object to this!"

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

This time, the voice of opposition spread almost throughout the entire court in just a few breaths, even Sun Chengzong, Gu Bingqian and others frowned, and even Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu's expressions changed slightly.

Zhu Xu sat there, his eyes swept over the prostrate ministers, and skipped the eager eyes of Fu Changzong and others.

After Ye finished talking to the senior courtiers, he stood up, looked up at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, this old minister thinks that this proposal is inappropriate and should be withdrawn."

Yang Lian also came out again, saying: "Your Majesty, there are bloodstains on the history books, and all wise emperors have a broad chest and can hold thousands of words. Faint emperors always favor and favor their ministers, and they listen to and trust. Your Majesty must not repeat the same mistakes!"

Gu Bingqian looked at the bowing ministers, including his own people. This incident caused the emperor to provoke public anger.Thinking of Wei Guanghui and Shengyuan Inn who were dragged out, he gritted his teeth, stood up and said to Zhu Xu: "I think the emperor's proposal is very appropriate. There has never been a rule in the court. One matter can be debated for days. Delays in border affairs and government affairs are not known to everyone." So I believe that there should be rules when things happen, and you can't mess around arbitrarily, quarrel endlessly, and harm the country and the people."

Gu Bingqian's words made sense, but they were actually on the opposite side of the courtiers.Most of the power of the courtiers comes from the voice of the court. Once the "voice" 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 Hall, they have been trying to limit the monarchy!

"I object to Gu Ge's words!"

Sure enough, the engineering department stood up and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, abolishing taboos because of words is a national taboo. I hope that the emperor will open up his words and use righteousness to drive away evil!"

"I also object to Gu Ge's words!" The censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate objected at the same time, and his voice was almost stern: "Since ancient times, there have been a hundred schools of thought contending in the court for perfection. The emperor must not block the mouths of courtiers like this. It's wrong for the country!"

Soon, more people stood up and vehemently refuted Gu Bingqian, even covering Zhu Xu's head with the title of "faint king".

Zhu Xu didn't expect such a proposal to provoke such a big wave of opposition. He sat there, tapping his fingers on the table, with a little smile in his calm eyes.
