I'm really not the carpenter emperor

The rest of the civil and military officials will be rewarded next time!This is it. "

As soon as the words fell, all civil and military officials in the court were stunned.

In this first batch, four people were sealed, and there were two marquises and two earls!

What is this concept?

Since Sejong, only one Li Chengliang has been conferred the title of Uncle Ning Yuan. The rest of the civil servants and military generals, during the Jiajing dynasty, were captives from the north to the south.

None of these people were knighted.

Originally, the officials thought that they were their own people, but they didn't expect that there was only one Zhu Xieyuan who was really their own.

As for Xiong Tingbi, this slovenly, unscrupulous Xiong Manzi has already offended the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. What kind of civil servant is he?

Zhang Wanbang, what is he?

It's just that it has gained fame in recent years and won a few battles at the border. As for the battle in Chahanhot, there is nothing to brag about, but it was just a leak that the main force of the Chahar Department was not in the Khan Court.

How could such a person be named uncle?

And Mao Wenlong is not as good as Zhang Wanbang!

After all, Zhang Wanbang was from the mainland, and he also came from a general background, but what was Mao Wenlong? He was just a small capital who was ordered to open a town in Dongjiang.

In recent years, the misdeeds of Mao Wenlong's subordinates concealing empty pay, intercepting and killing caravans, and killing good deeds on Phi Island have not yet been liquidated.

Giving him a knighthood is tantamount to making the Ming court a laughing stock in the world!

Downstairs, Wei Guangwei, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Li Banghua, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, exchanged glances. The latter's lips moved, but he did not say a word at this moment.

He is comparing himself to Wei Zheng, and wants to be the mirror of the emperor of this dynasty, but he is not stupid.

He naturally knew that the significance of being a knight now is very important to this dynasty. What was the situation like when Emperor Tianqi first succeeded to the throne, and what is it like now?

There is ZTE in the world, but there is no definition for ZTE. All dynasties and dynasties have been measured by a standard, and this standard is the hero.

Emperor Taizu bestowed meritorious officials, because they followed him in bloody battles and established a country; Emperor Chengzu honored heroes, because they made great achievements in calming difficulties, which can be called rebirth.

And today, Emperor Qi's new title of Four Lords is also because he wants to set up a group of role models and commend them for their great achievements in assisting ZTE in this dynasty!

Li Banghua didn't speak, and the officials all looked at their mouths and mouths, and didn't say a word.

But soon, someone stood up and took the lead in opposing it.

Hui Shiyang, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, came forward and said: "Your Majesty can confer titles as lords, but you must never confer titles on Xiong Tingbi, Mao Wenlong, and Zhang Wanbang!"

"These three people, although they have small merits, are not worthy of this honor!"

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect that when the cabinet, the six ministries, and the military computer room were all members of his own imperial party, there would be some desperate people who would dare to stand up and oppose it.

However, at first, there was no expression of anger.

When Hui Shiyang's words fell to the ground, Zhu Youxiao said expressionlessly:

"Hui Qing's family is thinking too much. I summoned you today to read out the edict of knighthood, not to discuss whether or not to be knighted, and what kind of knighthood should be awarded."

"You go back first."

Zhu Youxiao didn't want to do anything, he was already giving civil servants a lot of face. After all, this time the knighthood was mainly to express his love to the loyal and brave generals, so as to boost the morale of the army and enhance the prestige.

The civil servants had some criticisms, but Zhu Youxiao actually understood them very well.

"His Majesty--!"

Hui Shiyang didn't know if he was instructed by someone this time, or if he suddenly short-circuited his brain, it seemed that he planned to fight Zhu Youxiao.

The young minister of Dali Temple, who hadn't seen him speaking at the court meeting for many years, seemed to be a different person today, and began to talk freely, even ignoring Zhu Youxiao's warning.

"Since ancient times, military generals have fought to the death, and civil servants have died to remonstrate. Since Jiajing in my Ming Dynasty, there have been few knights. Your Majesty is now indiscriminately conferring titles. The minister is worried about the recurrence of the old danger of righteousness!"

"I am worried about the country, I am really anxious!"

He continued to speak with his head held high, completely oblivious to Zhu Youxiao's gradually gloomy face and the frequent winks of Wei Guangwei, the chief minister of the cabinet.

Seeing Hui Shiyang opened his mouth again, Wei Guangwei quickly turned his head back and looked down at the steps.

"During the time of Jingtai, the court once announced that if Boyan Timur or the eunuch Xining could be killed, he could be knighted. Later, Yang Jun captured Xining, but he didn't say a word about the knighthood."

"In the 14th year of Zhengde, King Ning rebelled, and Wu Zong released the imperial list, saying that those who can put down the rebellion can be named Bohou, and Wang Shouren led the army to put down the rebellion, but he didn't get a reward either."

"Qi Jiguang led the Qi family's army to clear the waves and prepare for the imperial court. It can be said that he has made great contributions to the court. Sejong has not been knighted, only the crown prince Shaobao has the honor."

"May I ask Your Majesty, how is the merit of Xiong Tingbi, Zhang Wanbang, and Mao Wenlong compared to Yang Jun, Wang Shouren, and Qi Shaobao?"

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, I can give more examples to prove what I said is true. Your Majesty's indiscriminate conferring of titles will surely bring disaster to Ming Dynasty sooner or later!"

Zhu Youxiao had endured it for a long time, and now he couldn't bear it anymore. He immediately grabbed the head of the roaring Canglong on the throne, and said angrily:

"Enough, you shut up!"

Hui Shiyang was also taken aback by Emperor Tianqi's rare Longyan anger at the court meeting, but he continued: "I can't shut up!"

"Your Majesty succeeded to the throne at a young age and has not received proper royal instruction, so let me teach you the ancestral teachings of my emperor!"

"Your Majesty, Daming's title is not so easy to obtain!"

"There is a saying in the ancestral teachings that those who have not opened up territories and saved the country from danger cannot be knighted."

"Xiong Tingbi, it's nothing more than a successful achievement. It's a blessing from heaven to confer a Zhu kingdom. The Datong army led by Zhang Wanbang just took advantage of the plunder and didn't even meet the main force of the Western captives. Is this considered a credit?"

"What is the credit of Mao Wenlong? The minister said that he not only has no credit, but also committed a great crime to the country!"

"I also want to participate in the ten serious crimes of Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang army who disregarded the king's law, killed good men for meritorious service, intercepted and killed business travelers, and all of them are unforgivable!"

"Your Majesty just doesn't punish him. What's the point of ennobling such a rebellious minister and traitor?"

Hui Shiyang said a lot of things like this, and didn't give Zhu Youxiao, who is the emperor, any chance to fight back. After he finished speaking, he was still panting and looking straight up.

His last words, like a heavy object, suddenly fell to the main hall of Huangji Palace.

At this moment, it was very quiet here, and the rest of the officials, after hearing such shocking and passionate words, none of them agreed.

On the contrary, Zhu Youxiao curled his mouth and said coldly:

"Huiqing family, you are very brave."

Chapter 7

Throughout history, it seems that only the emperor and his ministers of the Ming Dynasty had such an almost pathological irreconcilability.

Zhu Youxiao set up a military computer room dedicated to promulgating the edict, with the seal of Wei Zhongxian, the supervisor of ceremonies, and almost all of the six ministers and cabinet ministers were members of the Wei party.

The rest are also lonely and alone, and dare not talk too much.

But even so, there will still be people who oppose this kind of matter for the sake of opposing it!

Hui Shiyang, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, really made Zhu Youxiao very angry.

But Zhu Youxiao knows that the more it is like this, the more calm you need to be. His purpose is to anger you, to make you, the emperor, angry in public and lose your sense of proportion.

Zhu Youxiao frowned, looked at the courtier under the steps speechlessly, and said in a flat tone: "The one you have drawn is admonishing the name, step down."

This sentence is equivalent to slapping Hui Shiyang loudly.

Although Zhu Youxiao got the point, it still couldn't stop Hui Shiyang, who was already almost crazy, he was jealous, and he drank hatred.

Once the apocalypse came, the Yamen of Dali Temple had no real power. Because the emperor didn't pay much attention, it almost became the Qingshui Yamen. He sat in this seat for six years, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles!

In the past six years, he watched his colleagues in Donglin, under the favor of the fatuous emperor, lose to the eunuch step by step, but he could only do nothing.

He hated the eunuchs, and he hated himself even more. Today's jealousy of the four people who were named knights was the final fuse.

Even though the emperor had seen through him, Hui Shiyang was still able to stand shamelessly and grandly on top of the Huangji Hall, and with a few words, he put himself on the moral high ground.

"Your Majesty, the subject's picture is not the name!" After saying that, he suddenly knelt down under the imperial steps with a "plop", and suddenly knocked his head on the hall.

"If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, I dare to prove myself with death to prove my innocence!"

In the blink of an eye, blood flowed profusely.

"Your Majesty, please withdraw your order. It is such a trifle to confer a title, what is the majesty of the Tian Family?"

"The minister is just because of the righteousness, the lord did not revise the state affairs, ignored the court guidelines, and indiscriminately conferred titles. I urge your majesty to reflect on yourself every day and cultivate morality with a righteous heart!"

The six ministers, the ministers of the cabinet, and the ministers of the court are all old foxes who have been in the officialdom for more than half their lives. Observing words and demeanor are the most basic skills.

Even if they have any thoughts, they won't write them on their faces at all.

There was still no one in the hall, because the courtiers could clearly smell the faint murderous aura in the air!

Emperor Tianqi was really angry.

It's just that the current emperor is very different from when he succeeded to the throne seven years ago. A real dragon is a real dragon, even if he succeeds at a young age, he can still make things right.

The real dragon can hide under the abyss, forbearance, or jump above the nine heavens in an instant, calling the wind and the rain.

Is it that simple to be the Lord of ZTE in the Year of Apocalypse?

At this moment, Zhu Youxiao's overwhelming anger turned into a breath of bad breath, hidden under his calm face.

Immediately, he glanced at this side lightly: "The Qing family is well-versed in the way of employing people in the government. Do you want to let you be the emperor?"

"I dare not."

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but sneered: "You dare not..."

"When you said this, didn't the Qing family think it was ridiculous at all?"

Hui Shiyang took a deep breath and insisted on standing with Emperor Tianqi to the end. Jishou bowed and said: "This minister dares to be punished by His Majesty with an ax and axe, offends Tianwei, and speaks out to remonstrate. , is at stake..."

As he said this, tears welled up in his eyes.

"Xiong Tingbi, Zhang Wanbang, and Mao Wenlong didn't have the career to expand the territory, and they didn't have the merits to save the country from decline. How can they be knighted?"

Zhu Youxiao raised his head and looked at him coldly, his face was already a little tense.

Hui Shiyang was unmoved, what he was waiting for was this day, this moment!

"As the saying goes, a gentleman is a yang, so a gentleman ascends to the prosperity of China. Now the rebellion in Jianzhou has not yet subsided, and the country has lost its land. It is because your majesty has appointed eunuchs for many years."

"The disaster at Wang Gong's factory this time shook the world and the people panicked. They all said that the sky is changing and warning. If we want to reorganize the rivers and mountains, we must use yang to control yin. The yin is the disaster of our eunuchs!"

Zhu Youxiao gaped his tongue several times, but finally couldn't hold back, and laughed angrily.

Talking back and forth, after all, it was Donglin Remnant's naked and righteous words to bring down the eunuchs.

In their view, those who dare to refute the emperor in public are truly righteous people, and they will win praises from civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and civilian scholars.

And an extremely formal occasion like today is the perfect stage for them to perform.

Hui Shiyang seemed to be transformed into an envoy who was not afraid of Long Xing's wrath and spoke up for justice, and became the first person in many years who dared to speak out for Donglin people who were previously persecuted by the Eunuch Party.

In his opinion, this time, he made money no matter what.

If he could provoke Tianqi Emperor Long Yan into a rage, make a fool of himself in court, and use a few sticks, this would be comparable to the heavenly skill of military generals in sealing wolves and living in Xuxu!

The more severely injured he was, the happier he was. Even if he died, his name would remain in history and he would become a famous minister in the Ming dynasty.

Not only the Donglin Party, but the entire Ming Dynasty, and the civil servants of every dynasty, no matter what party or faction, looked like this. They would always put themselves on the commanding heights of morality and speak out for justice.

The literati do nothing in government, but once someone who does something appears, they will be crazily jealous, jealous of that person's ability, jealous of that person's achievements.

Then wave after wave, they attacked that person one after another, until that person was completely despised and numb by everyone.

At the beginning of Zhu Youxiao's succession to the throne, Xiong Tingbi, who was criticized by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, is the best example.

If this person is the emperor who is in charge of the power of the world, then I am sorry, not only will the officials of the Ming Dynasty not shrink back, but they will be even more excited.

This kind of almost morbid psychology has even become distorted among the civil servants of the Donglin Party today.

Just like the MLM organizations of later generations, once they go deep into it, the mentality of the whole person will change. They are always right and upright.

The eunuch party, the Wei party, or the imperial party, and everyone else are all wrong.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the young minister of Dali Temple, whose face was flushed and his scalp was broken, and felt sick in his heart. It seemed that it was impossible for the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty to fundamentally change once the apocalypse came.

When his imperial power was at its peak, he could kill them, exile them, and even carry out big crimes one after another, ransacking their homes and exterminating them.

But after all, you can't kill all the literati in the world. The imperial court still needs someone to be an official. Zhu Youxiao is also a human being, and there will always be a day when he will die.

The successor may still be a Mingjun, but what about the next one, who can guarantee that generations will be Mingjun?

Civil servants are different, they can all wait ten years or a hundred years, and once the imperial power shows signs of weakening, they will swarm up and tear a hole.

Looking at Hui Shiyang in front of him, Zhu Youxiao's anger grew deeper and deeper.
