Chapter 164: Arrive in military uniform

"Pa." A clear voice sounded.

It's the sound of a quiet whip.

Immediately, drums and music were blaring, with elephants as the forerunner. Zhu Qizhen came to the throne surrounded by his guards.

At this moment, the sun rose from the east and hit Zhu Qizhen's armor. For a moment, the golden light filled the air, making his home look like a god in golden armor.

For a moment, the officials were stunned for a moment, and then exploded.

The emperor's dress when going to court was naturally regulated, but now Zhu Qizhen actually wore a suit of armor to go to court. Why weren't the officials surprised?

Zhu Qizhen had just sat down.

Someone came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Zhu Qizhen saw it was Liu Qiu, the censor of Zuodu.

Suddenly I had a headache.

Because Liu Qiu is a tough guy, he is someone who he thinks has some truth and is hard to convince.

Before, the hardest person in the court was Li Shimian. Now it is Liu Qiu.

Zhu Qizhen was not used to Liu Qiu, but he had to tolerate Liu Qiu.

After all, many of the impeachments of these censors were nonsense, and Zhu Qizhen naturally didn't like it very much, and even touched Zhu Qizhen's sore spots.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is the supervisory organ of the Ming Dynasty. Whether the Metropolitan Procuratorate can operate well will have a direct impact on the official administration of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, although Zhu Qizhen did not like Liu Qiu, Liu Qiu was already sitting in the position of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and exerted his abilities. Many major and important cases were handled by Liu Qiu.

When local officials met Liu Qiu, they felt like they had met the King of Hell.

Emperor Liu didn't even give him face, so naturally he wouldn't give them face.

It was precisely because Zhu Qizhen delegated power to the Metropolitan Procuratorate after Wang Zhen, the Metropolitan Procuratorate investigated cases, and Yang Pu adjusted personnel, that the Ming Dynasty's officialdom was restored.

So because of this, Zhu Qizhen became more tolerant of Liu Qiu.

But tolerance is tolerance, but Zhu Qizhen really wants to see Liu Qiu. After all, no one wants to see someone who speaks in an ugly way and wants to spit saliva in your face.

But Zhu Qizhen didn't know that in history, Liu Qiu confronted Wang Zhen. Wang Zhen became angry and dismembered Liu Qiu and died.

It was also Zhu Qizhen who maintained a loose policy toward civilian officials as a whole, such as respecting cabinet resolutions, respecting government procedures, and giving seats to all officials who came to see him.

Under normal circumstances, Zhu Qizhen would not interfere with anything if he met the law.

Although Zhu Qizhen will secretly adjust many things to keep things under Zhu Qizhen's control, outsiders cannot see it.

Since Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, he has not struck any minister's imperial staff. Many new civil servants have probably forgotten even the imperial staff.

It is precisely because of this that Liu Qiu is tougher than in history.

After all, no one is a fool. Only when there is a wise king can there be direct ministers. Only when Zhu Qizhen was tolerant did Liu Qiu have the confidence to offend Yan Zhijian.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Liu Qing, please speak."

Liu Qiu came out of the queue, saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the laws of our ancestors have certain rules. Your Majesty should wear royal robes when you come to court. Your Majesty wears military uniforms when you come to court. You wear strange clothes to show the world. I am afraid that the world will misunderstand your Majesty."

Zhu Qizhen understood that Liu Qiu said that people in the world were wrong about His Majesty. In fact, everyone in the world felt that this emperor was a person who did not know the importance of matters.

Or simply transvestite.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Liu Qing asked well, I have something to say." Zhu Qizhen turned around and said: "Fan Hong."

Fan Hong immediately took a few steps forward and said, "My servant is here."

Zhu Qizhen straightened his back and sat on the dragon chair with nothing to show him. He just put his hands on the two sides and said, "Nian."

Although Fan Hong is an eunuch, he has a nickname: "Penglai Immortal." His demeanor is extremely elegant, and he clearly understands what Zhu Qizhen wants him to read?

Fan Hong immediately took out a memorial from the imperial case, stood on the steps, and read it in a clear voice.

Fan Hong's voice didn't seem loud, but it could be heard clearly by the entire square.

This memorial was none other than that of Wa Ci, who also first submitted a memorial to the Princess of Ming Dynasty, asking for the opening of mutual trade, etc.

I also deliberately tested it first, and naturally there wasn’t much respect in my words.

But he felt that the disrespect in this language sounded like provocation to the officials.

This is a cognitive error.

From Ye Xian's point of view, the Waci territory, which reaches the Great Wall in the south, ends in Beihai in the north, reaches Haixi in the east, and reaches the Western Regions in the west, is thousands of miles in size and is no smaller than that of the Ming Dynasty. With 400,000 cavalry across the world, it is qualified to compete with the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, in his memorial, this kind of confrontational attitude leaked out intentionally or unintentionally.

This has made many civil servants angry.

Especially those officials who are young and have small official positions.

They have just entered the officialdom and are not clear about many things, but they are very proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics. They don't care about the actual situation in Wasi? What is the preparation of the Ming Dynasty? They just know that there are no two days in the sky and no country.

And Lord, Wa Ci is so arrogant, he is simply insulting the Ming Dynasty.

The so-called master humiliates his ministers to death.

Not to mention, he asked to marry the princess.

To be honest, none of the Ming Dynasty scholars themselves wanted to marry a princess, but Wac's desire to marry a princess was a delusion. Some experienced officials also shut up.

After all, they all knew about the situation in the cabinet yesterday.

In fact, the same thing was done to Huan Huan, and the Empress Dowager naturally refused, but she didn't do anything extra. It's just that the military uniform she wore today was an expression of her attitude.

Even though they were a little worried, they didn't dare to say anything. They just looked at Cao Nai who was standing at the front with worry.

Most of these people are Cao Nai's people.

At this moment, they were all looking at their backbone with worry. They felt that the days ahead would be difficult, but they did not expect how difficult it would be.

Just when Fan Hong had just finished reading.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

One by one, the officials are preparing to go out to present the memorial. The criteria for selecting the officials in the Ming Dynasty are those who are young and become Jinshi. That is to say, among these young people who only rely on their passion to do things, the number of officials is the largest.

Zhu Qizhen pressed his hand, and immediately there were two whip sounds, and the audience suddenly became quiet.

Zhu Qizhen asked Liu Qiu: "Liu Qing, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

With Liu Qiu's political wisdom, he may not have been ignorant of the meaning behind Zhu Qizhen's words, but he could not speak against his will and said: "Such outrageous remarks should be beaten back, and the imperial court issued an order to reprimand Wasi and make him plead guilty.

"

Zhu Qizhen said: "Okay, what Liu Qing said is very true, but now some people don't think so. He actually wants to agree to a marriage with Wasi, so that I, not all the men in the world, can protect the clothes of a woman to protect peace."

"Maybe some people can tolerate it, but I definitely can't."

Zhu Qizhen stood with his sword in his hand and said: "It has been more than eighty years since Taizu founded the country, and there has never been anything like this. Taizong's legacy: The leader of our dynasty is ahead of the ancients. He controls the northern captives and conquers the south."

Among the barbarians in the west and west of the island, there is no peace and fraternity of the Han Dynasty, no alliance of the Tang Dynasty, no thin coins of the Song Dynasty, and no courtesy of brothers and enemies."

"Taizong's words are so ringing in my ears. Even if I am an unworthy descendant, I dare not disobey them."

"Cao Qing, are you right?"

Cao Nai sighed in his heart, knelt down on the ground, took off his hat and kowtowed, saying: "I know that I am guilty, please punish me."

What is right or wrong in politics is just a stance.

Just like Zhu Qizhen's current plan to split Southern Zhili into eight pieces, it is not allowed by the ancestral teachings.

Cao Nai is the chief minister of the cabinet. Zhu Qizhen regards Cao Nai as the prime minister. Cao Nai can be the prime minister's family, as long as Zhu Qizhen is willing to delegate power. But in the Ming Dynasty's system, the bachelor general is not a political governor, but the chief minister of the cabinet.

, nor the prime minister.

If Zhu Qizhen wants to capture anyone, all he needs is a piece of paper.

Cao Nai had no power to resist.

So what does Cao Nai have to say? It's just a confession.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Okay, for the sake of Duke Dongli, I will not embarrass you. I will remove the chief minister of the cabinet, deprive you of all promotions, and demote you to the governor of Yunnan. You will reflect on yourself when you arrive in Yunnan."

Cao Nai breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

He was really relieved. He originally thought that for such a big battle in Zhu Qizhen, the punishment would be severe, such as being expelled from the army, being sent to the army, deprived of his birth certificate, etc.

But I didn't expect that it was just a demotion.

Immediately, a eunuch came forward and took off all of Cao Nai's clothes, because Cao Nai's clothes were given to him and he was also being stripped at this moment.
