Chapter 73 Believe it or not, I will bring you civil servants to play! Turn the table directly!
Tianqi laughed after hearing this: "I thought you wanted me to follow the example of Taizu and go back to Fengyang to raise troops."
"It hasn't reached that point yet, after all, the enlisted corps of His Majesty's Armed Forces School has just defeated Jiannu."
Zhang Gui replied with a smile.
Tianqi nodded, and suddenly said seriously: "Then let the army corps of the Military Equipment Academy suppress these scholars who protested against the court. They speak against evil ministers for rebellious ministers, which is tantamount to plotting rebellion!"
As he spoke, Tianqi asked Wei Zhongxian to draw up an order.
Wei Zhongxian agreed to go.
But not long after, Wei Zhongxian came back and said: "My lord! The cabinet minister Jiuqing and the ministers of the government are asking to see you outside!"
After hearing this, Tian Qi walked out quickly and came to the gate of Xiyuan.
At this time, there were thousands of ministers who came to the gate of Xiyuan, and they could hardly see the edge at a glance.
Zhang Gui, who came out with Tian Qi, didn't expect so many ministers to come, so he couldn't help but glance at Tian Qi, and thought: "Sure enough, the purge is not that easy, the entire civil government has begun to launch a decisive attack on their emperor! Come on! The ones who went outside the Xiyuan should be relatively gentle, and they sincerely consider for the emperor, I am afraid that those scholars outside the Metropolitan Procuratorate are already clamoring that if they don’t listen to them, the country will perish, right?”
Tian Qi was also calm at this time, he only looked at Zhu Guozuo, Sun Chengzong, Yang Lian and other ministers and asked, "Why do you see me?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive the crimes of the scholars outside the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and follow the sentiments of the scholars and the public!"
At this time, among the ministers, Shen Yongmao, Qing of Taichang Temple, called out first.
Immediately, Yang Lian, the imperial censor of Zuodu, followed suit: "Your Majesty, there are already thousands of scholars blocked in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and they all request His Majesty to release Li Sancai and deal with him lightly. He is a trustworthy king and petitions all ministers to govern the country with benevolence! And the minister also persuaded them, but they all refused to leave, and from this point of view, it is hard to break the morale of the scholars! Please also learn from your Majesty!"
Tian Qi said: "I have already prepared an order to send the enlisted corps to suppress it, you don't have to worry too much!"
Yang Lian hurriedly said after hearing this: "No, Your Majesty!"
Immediately, Yang Lian stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, they all represent the hearts of the people in the world. If they are treated like this, your Majesty may lose the hearts of the people in the world!"
"Your Majesty, please take back this intention!"
Zhu Guozuo also yelled, and asked: "Does Your Majesty really want to cut himself off from the scholarly ranks?!"
"Does the emperor ignore the laws of the country?!"
Tian Qi also asked a question.
"Your Majesty, laws and decrees must be based on personal feelings, just like government affairs must be based on customs. Doing government without following customs is not enough to say good governance; doing law without personal feelings is not good law. If your majesty wants to practice good governance and implement good laws, you must do so. Listen to the people!"
Shen Yongmao retorted at this time.
Tian Qi's expression became stern, and he said: "I am the world, and what I say is a constitution, there is absolutely no reason to take it back! Their rebellion is just rebellion, and there is no reason to cover it up! You say that I will cut myself off from the scholarly community by doing this, so what? What you are doing now is also cutting yourself off from me! The emperor said that a minister should have the way of a minister, and a king should have the way of a monarch. Ask yourself, do you still have the way of a minister?!"
Yang Lian held the elephant wat, stepped forward again, and confronted Tian Qi very rigidly: "Your Majesty! The ministers are here to admonish Your Majesty because they abide by the principles of ministers! Please put the country as the most important thing, and don't be arrogant!"
"Your Majesty, please take the country as the most important thing, and don't be arrogant!"
The other ministers followed suit.
Tian Qi laughed back angrily: "Do you really think that I am acting emotionally? Or are you refusing to explain plain words to me?"
"Are you acting on your own whims? What is the situation inside and outside the Ming Dynasty, what is the situation of the income and expenditure of the household department, don't you know better than me?!"
Tian Qi roared, and said: "Why am I doing this for the country? If I really only want to be a carpenter emperor, why bother to vindicate Zhang Juzheng."
"Your Majesty's determination to innovate, the ministers and others know that now more than a thousand scholars are making a fuss in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. In fact, it is not because of Li Xiuwu, but the heart of reform that His Majesty has shown long ago, so that rentiers all over the world They are very vigilant, they are afraid that there will be another reform, but your majesty, it is not the first year of Wanli! Although I also have the heart to fight for your majesty, but this time your majesty only arrests one Li Xiuwu and suppresses only one scholar in Suzhou It caused such a strong reaction from the scholars, it can be seen that the world has reached the point where it is no longer possible to get rid of the bad government."
Yuan Keli, who had returned to Beijing and was promoted to be the censor of the left deputy capital, couldn't help but stand up and speak directly to Tianqi.
Immediately afterwards, in a desperate tone, he bowed to Tian Qi and said: "The disease is already dying, and your majesty can only be the Son of Heaven!"
Tian Qi suddenly asked calmly.
All the ministers were silent at first, and then Yuan Keli replied first: "Yes!"
Immediately, other ministers followed suit: "Yes!"
Tianqi therefore gritted his teeth and said, "A traitor cannot be forgiven!"
Tian Qi ordered: "Beijing Admiral Zhang Gui!"
"The minister is here!"
Zhang Gui responded.
"Your Majesty!"
At this time, Emperor Sun Chengzong stood up, held an elephant wat in front of Tianqi, and asked very seriously: "Are you really going to force them to cut off the grain and cause chaos in the world before you are willing to give in to them? !"
Sun Chengzong added again after speaking: "Your Majesty, this is really not the time to be arrogant!"
Tian Qi still has feelings for Sun Chengzong, after all, Sun Chengzong really taught him for a while, and he also knows that he respects Sun Chengzong as a gentleman.
In history, no matter how dissatisfied Wei Zhongxian, who controlled the government, was dissatisfied with Sun Chengzong, there was nothing he could do about Sun Chengzong, because Tianqi still cared about Sun Chengzong's teacher-student affection.
And because of this, after Sun Chengzong stood up and said so at this time, Tian Qi's eyes became moist: "I didn't expect that even you, the master, objected to me! You said that I was acting on my own will!"
Of course, Tian Qi was indeed touched by Sun Chengzong's words at this time, and he had to admit that the biggest capital of the world's officials and gentry is that the world's wealth is controlled in their hands.
After Sun Chengzong was told by Tianqi, he shook for a while, but in the end he didn't say much.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say."
Zhang Gui stood up at this time.
"speak!"
Tianqi said in a deep voice.
Zhang Gui looked at these ministers with contempt, and said: "You know whether what those scholars who made a scene are doing is right or wrong, you also know what their purpose is, and you know His Majesty's thoughts! But you are alone I begged His Majesty to be soft on them. I don’t think you are His Majesty’s courtiers, but rather theirs.”
Speaking of this, Zhang Gui suddenly asked loudly: "Where is your **** sitting?!"
When Zhang Gui asked such a question, Sun Chengzong, who was already quite ashamed by Tianqi's words that "the master also opposes me", knelt down first, prostrated himself on the ground, choked up and said, "Your Majesty! The ministers are doing this for your majesty's sake." Ah! Uncle Guo's words really hurt people too much! Huh!"
"Your Majesty, all the ministers are so loyal that they dare to say this!"
Zhu Guozuo and others also prostrated themselves on the ground, crying loudly one by one, as if they were wronged too.
"You are worried that the grain will be cut off, which will damage the country. It is also reasonable, but the fact that the grain is cut off does not mean that the country will really go bad!"
As Zhang Gui said, he turned around and reported to Tianqi: "Your Majesty, I still say the same thing, I can solve the risk of grain being cut off."
Immediately, Zhang Gui looked at these civil servants again: "So, Your Majesty, don't worry, the question now is to see if the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty are willing to follow His Majesty to abolish the bad government in the world. An Xin can get some food for the court and come back, but if they don’t want to.”
As Zhang Gui said, he turned around and cupped his hands to Tian Qi again: "Then please let the eunuch, Eunuch Wei, rule under the dictatorship, or let the foreign relatives, the minister, rule under the dictatorship, and don't bring them foreign civil servants to play! It's really not possible, at worst, just follow the example of Taizu Back then, to organize a rebel army and start from scratch! Anyway, there are a lot of humble Confucian scholars who have no means to serve the country, and they must be willing to follow His Majesty to change the universe again!"
Tian Qi suddenly laughed: "I think it's okay."
"Uncle Guo, please take this back! It's not that time yet! Besides, no one is willing to support His Majesty in abolishing the world's bad governance! We have received the grace of the country, and it's not that we can't be Wang Shuan (Wang Guoguang), Wang Shaozai (Wang Zhuan) ) Wait for someone!"
Yuan Keli said something quickly.
He didn't expect that Uncle Zhang Guo threatened to bring His Majesty the Emperor to overturn the table together!
Moreover, he also knew that if the civil officials like himself were to be mediocre, the emperor would not bring people like himself to play.
So, Yuan Keli had to express his position in a hurry.
