263 Father and Son Team Up (2 in 1)(2/2)

"Mr., I am definitely not for personal friendship. Now the southwest of the Ming Dynasty is in full swing to fight against barbarian chieftains. It is said that Siji took the opportunity to secretly return to Luchuan from Myanmar, preparing to make a comeback."

"The northwest Watanabe Yesian has unified the Mongolian tribes, conquered the three Jurchen guards, and suppressed Korea, and the desert was boundlessly traversed thousands of miles away."

"If the southeast changes at this time, can the Ming Dynasty's national strength really maintain three major wars?"

Chen Yichen argued with reason. He believed that Zhu Yong would be able to fight on the battlefield for the rest of his life and would not be unaware of the emptiness of the Ming Dynasty's treasury and the deteriorating border situation now.

It’s just a superficial phenomenon, but it’s actually decayed and declining inside!

"How do you determine that there will be chaos in the southeast?"

There were not peasant uprisings in the Ming Dynasty. On the contrary, in the Ming Dynasty, there were countless uprisings between large and small peasant uprisings, and they were quickly suppressed by the imperial army and would never compromise.

Even when internal and external troubles were about to perish in the late Ming Dynasty, the Ming court did not agree to make concessions in the face of Li Zicheng's active talks and negotiations.

This kind of tenacity or stubbornness is the toughness and bottom line engraved in the bones of the Ming Dynasty, and it also creates a famous saying in later generations.

That was the Ming Dynasty for 276 years. It was not a marriage tribute, no compensation, no cede land, no tribute, the emperor guarded the country, and the king died!

The late Ming Dynasty was about to end and the death was not yet apologized. Now the orthodox government is at its peak. Zhu Yong, Duke of Chengguo, did not think that the southeast was a matter, let alone the chaos at the same level as Luchuan and Mongolia.

Facing Duke Cheng's questions, Chen Yichen didn't know how to explain it for a moment, after all, this is something that will only happen in the future.

"Mr., from the nine years of Zhengtong to the re-establishment of the provincial tax department last year, the people in Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other places have already suffered so much that they are just one fuse from the burst of accumulating public grievances."

"The Fujian miners' riot is this fuse!"

Zhu Yong, Duke Cheng Guo, was still not convinced by Chen Yichen's words. Just as he was about to continue questioning, a concierge quickly walked into the backyard.

"Mr. Master, someone has come from the palace. Your Majesty ordered a court meeting."

Ming Dynasty officials did not say that holidays were available, but generally there would be no court meetings or convening court meetings during the New Year.

At this time, the emperor suddenly issued this order, and the answer was about to come out. The memorial from the Fujian Provincial Administration Office had been passed to the palace and was reviewed by Zhu Qizhen.

It can also be inferred that he must be very angry, so he immediately ordered the convening of ministers to hold a court meeting.

Guided by anger, there may be only one decision to make, that is, conquest.

"Master, believe me once!"

Chen Yichen understood that it was too late. If Duke Cheng Guoyu could not convince him at this time, it would be time for the dust to settle when the court meeting was over.

Hearing Chen Yichen say such words and looking at his identification expression, Duke Cheng Guozhu Yong finally compromised.

"You should go to the palace to tell His Majesty about this matter. Whether you can change your mind depends on your ability."

Zhu Yong was also looking at Xunqi, who grew up in Zhu Qizhen. He was also very clear about the emperor's personality.

At this time, the court meeting was suddenly held. What we need to do is not to discuss countermeasures, but to ask the ministers to implement the decision!

The imperial army was about to fight against the Fujian miners' riot.

"Only the important officials can participate in the court discussion. How can I tell His Majesty the younger generation?"

Chen Yichen felt a little puzzled. Only Xunqin and ministers from the cabinet could participate, and at most nine ministers were added.

I have not received many special orders from the emperor. Isn’t it that I have been seeking death when I run over to participate in the court discussion?

With the character of Duke Cheng Guo, Zhu Yong, you shouldn't make such jokes with him.

"Yesterday's official court meeting, weren't you being promoted by His Majesty? You haven't entered the palace to thank you today?"

This is OK?

Chen Yichen was really unpredictable when he heard this reason to enter the palace.

Under normal circumstances, the emperor has to go to the palace to thank God for his kindness. But the problem is that yesterday, he had already thanked him in front of Zhu Qizhen. Can he thank him twice?

But then again, I can’t thank you for your kindness once.

After all, as the saying goes, it’s not a big deal to blame people for being polite...

"Mr. Xie's advice, I understand."

After bowing and thanking her, Chen Yichen returned to the West Chamber without saying a word, and changed into an official uniform and prepared to enter the palace to face the saint.

Looking at Chen Yichen's unusual appearance from last night to now, Chen Qingtong asked in confusion: "Husband, aren't there no official duties today? Why did you change into official uniforms?"

"I'm going to enter the palace to meet the holy."

“Why?”

"Thank you!"

After saying that, Chen Yichen hurriedly left, and Tu Liu Chen Qingtong looked at his back with a blank look on his face.

In front of the gate of Duke Cheng's mansion, Zhu Yong was already sitting in the carriage. When he saw Chen Yichen coming out, he asked his servants to call him into the car.

Although I found a reason to enter the palace to meet the saint, if I had not brought Chen Yichen directly to the emperor, there was still a chance that I would be blocked by the court.

Zhu Yong, Duke Cheng Guo, still maintained a contemptuous attitude towards the matter of Fujian miners, believing that the army would blow and destroy it together. But Chen Yichen said one thing that he agreed very much, that is, the Ming Dynasty cannot bear the pressure of fighting on the third line.

After getting on the carriage, Chen Yichen was not as silent as before. The father and son were both silent.

He hesitated for a while and said, "Mr. Master, thank you for believing me."

Listening to Chen Yichen's thanks, a rare smile appeared on Duke Cheng Guozhu Yong's face.

Although Chen Yichen still did not include the genealogy, the father and son have already developed in the direction of joint efforts in the officialdom in terms of court affairs.
