Domineering Daming

Completely ignoring the imperial court, Zhu Xu only found out that there is such a saying in Shaanxi yesterday!

Zhu Xu spoke with examples, which directly hit the heart of these people.

A group of people can no longer speak, no matter how they can speak, the facts are in front of them, and they cannot argue.

Zhu Xu looked around the group of people, and said slowly: "Has the relief money and food in Shaanxi been distributed to the victims?"

"To deal with the 'New Deal', how much have you 'flexible'?"

"Have you faithfully implemented the orders of the cabinet, and how much discount have you discounted?"

"How much have you done to deceive the upper and lower?"

……

Zhu Xu spoke one by one, frame by frame, with a quite calm tone.

Li Banghua frowned, his heart was surging, and the corners of his face collapsed.

He never thought he was wrong, he made changes according to the changing situation, for the sake of the country and the people, without distracting thoughts, so why is there anything wrong?Why did the court ignore it, and why didn't the emperor look at it?

Although not all the people behind Li Banghua were promoted by him, they were like-minded, and they also watched Li Banghua turn gray with worry for Shaanxi, sleep long and sleep at night, pouring out his heart and soul.Hearing Zhu Xu's words, I felt extremely uncomfortable, and looked at Li Banghua's back from time to time.

Li Banghua's complexion changed, he sighed in his heart for a long time, raised his hand a little lonely, and said: "I have committed a crime, I ask the emperor to allow me... to return to my hometown when I am old."

Chapter 789

This is the trick used by these ministers.

Once you are unhappy and unhappy, you just quit the job to show that you are noble, outstanding, and strong.

The unlucky ones are naturally a piece in their hands, which can be regarded as one of the reasons for the continuous corruption of officials.

It had been a long time since no one dared to be so presumptuous in front of Zhu Xu. He picked up his teacup and took a sip silently, feeling really angry in his heart.

"Your Majesty, please tell me to return home."

Before Zhu Xu could react, a magistrate suddenly stepped out and raised his hand.

"I would like to tell you to return to your hometown, and ask the emperor for permission." A councilor came out and said.

"Your Majesty asks for permission to return home when you are old."

"Your Majesty asks for permission to return home when you are old."

"Your Majesty asks for permission to return home when you are old."

Stand up one by one, more than 30 people, half of them in a blink of an eye!

Cao Huachun was startled, he accompanied Zhu Xu around half of Daming, this was the first time he saw such a situation.If these Shaanxi officials resign in front of the emperor, it will have a great impact on the "New Deal", especially, it will also damage the prestige of the emperor!

Li Banghua was only filled with anger for a while and had no way out, so he almost instinctively wanted to resign, but he didn't expect that so many people followed him.

In this way, both they and the emperor will be in an embarrassing situation, and it will be difficult to deal with the aftermath!

Zhu Xu put the teacup in his hand on the table beside him, looked at the group of people with a calm face, leaned his body to the back, held the handle with both hands, his eyes were like an abyss, and he couldn't see any expression clearly.

Cao Huachun's heart was beating wildly, he glanced at the guard not far away, stepped forward, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty..."

Zhu Xu raised one hand to stop him from speaking.

Cao Huachun's lips moved, so he had no choice but to back away.

Wang Yizhou had no scruples. He held the handle of the knife with his right hand and took a step forward. As long as the emperor coughed, he would execute all the brave people in front of him on the spot!

At this moment, not only Li Banghua felt that the situation was wrong, those who stood up to sue their old age and return to their hometowns all had a chill in their necks and trembled in their hearts.

Zhu Xu didn't give them much time to be afraid, put down his hands, and said in a normal voice: "Actually, I have always thought that being an official is the best."

Li Banghua and others, as well as a group of people who hadn't returned to their hometowns, all lowered their heads and didn't dare to move at all. Listening to Zhu Xu's words, they held their breath and tried their best to suppress their breathing.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but the guards around seemed to be a little closer to them, and they could even see a bleak light on the blade.

Zhu Xu looked around from the people present one by one, and said slowly: "When you are an official, it doesn't matter whether you exceed the rules or not. You can do whatever you want. It is good to have food and drink, and you can also clear your name. Traveling all over the world, one day you are not happy with what you do, so you just quit, resign and return to your hometown, and you can still get the honor of "remonstrance minister" and "zheng minister", return home with a full load, write books and talk about it contentedly, and live for the rest of your life ..."

Li Banghua and others listened to Zhu Xu's words, their brows were tightened, their hearts were disturbed, and they dared not move.

"Tell me, is it good to be an official? I am very envious..."

Zhu Xudao: "I often think that if being an emperor can be the same as being an official, I can come and do whatever I want, and if someone is unhappy one day, I will just quit and change someone else to be the emperor. , I go to travel around the mountains and rivers, and see the beautiful scenery of the world, it is really very pleasant..."

Everyone's heart beat wildly when they heard it, what is this called?How could an emperor do such a thing?

Li Banghua's expression moved, and his heart became more and more entangled, uncomfortable, angry, and he couldn't move.

"But, I am better than you." Zhu Xu's eyes were watery, calm, and he said: "I still know that I can't do this, otherwise I will be sorry to the subjects of the world, and I will be ashamed to my ancestors. Don't want to learn from the gods? Don't go to court, don't care about things, just be happy in the palace, anyway, there are those ministers outside, they will fight if they want to, and resign if they want to, I don't care about it, as long as I live happily As long as it's comfortable..."

Li Banghua and the others heard the smell, and looked at each other quietly from the corner of the eye, still not daring to move rashly.

The sun moved westward, and the shadow of the eaves covered Zhu Xushang himself. He slapped the handle with his right hand and said, "But after thinking about it later, it still didn't work. These adults only care about fighting for power and profit, and they have no heart for the country. Die, or stay wise and protect yourself, resign early, let the officials corrupt, the government corrupt, destroy the foundation of my great Ming little by little, I am still so young, what if I die before I die of old age, what should I do? I can’t be a The king of subjugation? How can he be worthy of the subjects of the world and the ancestors?"

Zhu Xu tilted his head slightly, and said, "What do you think?"

A group of people dare not speak, the emperor seems to be talking about himself, but every word is a bitter mockery of them.

The corners of Li Banghua's face were as tight as iron, black as iron, his head was slightly lowered, and he didn't say a word.

"So, I envy you."

A little smile appeared on Zhu Xu's face, and he said: "How kind you are, you are an official, powerful and powerful, have money and women, when you are cold, someone will give you charcoal, and when you are hot, you will have ice cubes. When you are happy, go to the brothel to sing Poetry and Fu, I can go around drinking and singing when I am bored... In short, I live a comfortable life. If I am really uncomfortable, I have money and land, and at worst, I will resign. In between, lingering in tenderness and softness, so unrestrained, what a desirable life..."

"I also understand."

Zhu Xu looked at Li Banghua, and said: "The reason why I have been sleepy and trembling for so many years, and even ran out of Beijing to inspect half of the world for the first time, is that I have one more thing than you, and that is...responsibility Heart!"

"I have a responsibility to the subjects of the world, and I dare not slack off!"

"I have a responsibility to my ancestors, I dare not forget it!"

"I have a responsibility to myself. I can't be a foolish king, a king who subjugates the country! As an emperor, I can write a good article, a good poem, or a good handwriting. Art! But I have to know how to govern the world, I have to know how to make my Ming Dynasty long-term, and I have to know how to be a good emperor!"

"What about you? You are all Jinshi students, you write good articles, you write good characters, you are full of talents, you are famous all your life, and everyone admires you... But you have no sense of responsibility! You don't care about the people, you don't care Loyal to the emperor and the country, there is no court law in your eyes, you are officials for yourself, for your reputation, for your ambition! When your reputation and ambition are damaged and unsustainable, what do you think? The common people, not the emperor, want to protect your reputation and ambition, so you have to resign!"

"Loyalty to the emperor is false, it is false to serve the country, and it is false to serve the people. You are all for yourselves!"

Zhu Xu's words are heartbreaking!

Li Banghua and the others felt cold in their hearts, their heads were covered with cold sweat, the corners of their mouths trembled, and their bodies trembled.
