Chapter 0823(1/2)
Boom!
In an instant, there seemed to be thunder snakes dancing wildly, lightning and thunder, and the silent thunder exploded in everyone's heart, making everyone in Wuying Hall tremble.
They never expected that what they thought was a normal day would turn out to have such a huge change. Could it be that the emperor and his chief minister, Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu, would break up here today?
And knowing this news, do they still have a way to survive?!
Everyone was worried, Zhu Youxiao stared at Zhang Haogu, his expressions of disappointment, anger, and confusion flashed one by one, and finally turned into a lament: "Alas"
"You can't go with me anymore."
"After eleven years of being a monarch, my master is breaking up with me just for the sake of tens of thousands of people?!"
Zhang Haogu's eyes were also full of disappointment: "It's just tens of thousands of people."
"I still remember the floods in Henan in the past. Your Majesty braved the dangers to fight the floods and provide disaster relief. He saved millions of people in the four prefectures and 27 counties. All the people worshiped him and the whole world praised him."
"How come your Majesty today can actually name tens of thousands of people?"
"Isn't it true? Master used to kill people, but I don't remember having such a bodhisattva-like heart." Zhu Youxiao asked back.
Zhang Haogu said seriously: "If they are ambitious and plot to rebel and subvert the world, then they are guilty and deserve to be killed; if they are corrupt officials, oppressing the villagers, taking bribes and bending the law, then they can be killed; if they are soldiers, their duty is to protect them.
The country is dying on the battlefield, and your Majesty wants to send them to the battlefield. I have nothing to say."
"But they are just innocent people, a group of poor people who have been forced into desperation."
"They have no ambitions, nor do they want to subvert the world. They just want to seek justice for themselves: they are not officials, they do not enjoy the court's benefits and salaries, and they have never taken bribes and perverted the law; they are not soldiers, they have never received court pay or experience.
After military training, they don’t want to gain fame on the battlefield.”
"They are just a bunch of poor people trying to live."
"They are just a bunch of pitiful people. If they are sacrificed for that ridiculous person like King Shu, doesn't Your Majesty think that on top of this pity, it will be a little more deplorable and pathetic?"
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "So, master is really unwilling to change his mind?"
Zhang Haogu was deeply impressed: "I am just doing my duty."
"Oh, what a great minister who fulfills his duties as a minister. I can't afford such a minister!"
Zhu Youxiao sneered and threw the document jointly signed by the Southwest counter-rebellion army in front of Zhang Haogu.
"Since the first assistant feels that he can't go with me anymore, then the first assistant should go back and rest."
"My Ming Dynasty is prosperous now, and the world is at peace. I can support you for a hundred years, so there will be no problem."
Zhang Haogu listened to Zhu Youxiao's words and calmly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Then Zhang Haogu took off his seven-beam Wusha crown, arranged them neatly together with the seal and ribbon around his waist, stood up and left.
In Wuying Hall, all the waiters did not dare to show their anger. Zhu Youxiao calmly looked at the seven-beam Wusha crown and the Ming Dynasty head on the ground.
Fu's seal ribbon, his left hand tightly clenched into a fist, and finally let go: "Put it away."
When Zhang Haogu left the Wuying Palace and arrived in front of the Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhang An saw that there was only a hairband left on his head and no seal on his waist.
The proud Zhang Haogu was a little confused: "Master, this"
"Stop talking so much, take me home, I'm sleepy." Zhang Haogu smiled.
Although Zhang An didn't understand what happened, seeing that Zhang Haogu didn't want to say anything, he obediently took the carriage and sent Zhang Haogu home.
When they got home, Zhu Qiqi looked confused when he saw Zhang Haogu: "Husband, what is this?"
"It's okay, I'm a little tired, I'm going to take a nap." Zhang Haogu waved his hand with a smile and went to the bedroom to sleep on his own.
Zhu Qiqi looked at Zhang An and couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"
Zhang An also had a confused look on his face: "I don't know either. After the young master took the coupon, he went to find your majesty. This is where he came back.
Looks good."
Although Zhu Qiqi is heartbroken
I was worried, but I suppressed it. I just stared at the closed door of the bedroom full of worry.
Zhang Haogu, who was lying in the bedroom, felt exhausted all over. Although his body was extremely strong and he had never been sick in the past years, his health made Zhang Haogu suspect that even eating Hedinghong might not kill him.
himself, but now Zhang Haogu feels extremely tired.
When you are mentally tired, you become physically tired as well.
With a faint sigh, Zhang Haogu closed his eyes and fell asleep regardless.
Zhang Haogu fell asleep, but everyone in the cabinet was shocked.
Hearing that Zhang Haogu returned home alone without a crown or seal, Zhang Ruitu and Lu Xiangsheng were keenly aware of the problem, especially since everyone in the Wuying Hall was silent and no one said a word. This made Zhang Ruitu and Lu Xiangsheng aware of the problem.
Lu Xiangsheng became even more worried.
When the court went to court the next day, all the officials were surprised to find that Zhu Youxiao went to court, but Zhang Haogu did not.
Looking at the surprised officials, Zhu Youxiao said: "The chief minister has been working hard for a long time and is not feeling well. He is resting at home these days. Let a few bachelors take over the affairs of the cabinet first."
Although all the officials were surprised and suspicious, the emperor's golden words did not dare to ask any other questions and could only agree.
When the court came down, Lu Xiangsheng and Zhang Ruitu looked at each other, and they were really confused. As for Huang Liji and Qiao Yunsheng, they were even more confused. Do they have real power now?
But, didn’t this right come too suddenly?!
And who can serve as a minister in the court, which one is a fool?
After asking around, I finally got some tidbits of news, including the suspicion that Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu had a dispute, and that Zhang Haogu was subsequently dismissed from office.
Dismissed from office!
On behalf of the emperor, you are no longer needed.
It is the pursuit of civil and military talents of all ages to learn civil and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family. If the emperor no longer needs you, then what is the use of your great talent?
Ordinary officials are dismissed from office or deprived of their titles. This is nothing, it is normal.
But when Zhang Haogu was dismissed from office, the situation was completely different.
Who is Zhang Haogu?
He was the chief minister of the current dynasty, a bachelor of the cabinet, a minister of the Ministry of official affairs, a grand master of the current dynasty, the emperor's teacher, and the person the emperor relied on most. The New Party, Datong Academy, New Army, and the New Deal were all not promoted by Zhang Haogu.
?
Today’s imperial court’s new policies, business policies, people’s livelihood policies, and trade exchanges with overseas countries
It can be said that Zhang Haogu was responsible for all major military and state affairs in the Ming Dynasty. Now that Zhang Haogu has been dismissed from office, something big is really going to happen.
Will the court's policy change?
Will there be any changes in the business of the imperial court?
Will there be any problems with today's foreign policy, industrial and commercial policy, as well as stocks, futures, and various industries?
For a time, everyone in the capital was panicked after receiving the news.
It also caused quite a shock in all walks of life.
When Zhu Youxiao learned the news, he couldn't help but sneer: "See, this is what the chief assistant is capable of."
"I'm still at home. I can't leave my house, but the world is going to be in turmoil."
Although he said this, could Zhu Youxiao not be anxious?
Commerce is the lifeblood of today's Ming Dynasty. Compared with the previous agricultural tax, now that the Ming Dynasty has embarked on the road of industrialization, agricultural tax has become nothing.
How much money is the agricultural tax?
How much money does the court receive from business every year?
Stocks, futures, factories, chambers of commerce, overseas trade
The majority of the imperial court's annual revenue comes from commercial taxes. It can be said that commercial taxes are the backbone of the Ming Dynasty and the key to supporting the imperial court. At present, industry and commerce are in turmoil, and all walks of life are worried.
This is just the capital. If word spread to the north or the south, and the entire Ming Dynasty knew about the discord between the emperor and his ministers, what would it be like?
Zhu Youxiao did not dare to think about such a scene. The Ming Dynasty could not withstand the consequences of the collapse of industry and commerce. Even if it could start over, it would still take a lot of effort.
Right now, just a few rumors in the capital can cause such a shock
, which made Zhu Youxuan even more upset about how to deal with Zhang Haogu.
"Who spread the news?
Check with me to find out who is talking nonsense!" Zhu Youxiao angrily gave an order to Wei Zhongxian.
Wei Zhongxian said quickly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will go check it out right now."
Seeing Wei Zhongxian leaving in a hurry, Zhu Youxiao just wanted to calm down. Thinking about the conflict between himself and Zhang Haogu, the suspicion of all the officials in the capital, and the turmoil in industry and commerce, he became angry again: "Forget it.
Now, let’s go to the Imperial Garden!”
Wang Tiqian quickly shouted: "Show off, come to the Imperial Garden!"
For several days, under the strict control of Jin Yiwei, there were fewer rumors in the capital, but there were rumors everywhere in the world.
I don’t know how the rumors spread.
