Chapter 162: Admonish Officials? Fork It Out and Fight!

Latest website:

Early morning.

A lot has happened in recent days.

Zhu Gaoxu simply held a morning meeting to listen to the opinions of civil and military officials.

However, what is interesting is that the atmosphere in the hall is extremely strange.

The military attachés and ministers in Beijing were all lying on the ground, as if they were about to fall asleep.

As for the civil servants, they all stood quietly in their positions without saying a word.

There was only a group of people who were gearing up and eager to try, and they looked at Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu with extremely unkind eyes!

Zhu Gaoxu had a panoramic view of the performance of the ministers and had a general understanding in his mind.

These military attachés and relatives who stayed behind basically did not care about anything and took care of their salaries and titles to support them in their old age.

Yang Shiqi, Xia Yuanji and other court giants acted like old gods were there, giving themselves enough face.

On the other hand, these censors under Gu Zuo's command look like they have been beaten to death. What do they mean?

"The new salt law has been implemented and has achieved good results. The bank's plan will be implemented smoothly after the spring."

"Let's talk about it, everyone. If nothing happens, I will go home to be with my wife."

As soon as Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, Shi Shiran, an imperial censor, walked out, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness, the King of Han, I have something unclear, and I would like to ask His Highness the King of Han."

The censor walked out from among the courtiers and shouted loudly, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"Who are you? What is your current position?"

"My name is Yang Sizhong, and I am the Minister of Rites."

"If you have anything to do, just ask."

In giving matters, just like the censor, he also advises officials and ministers.

It's just that they are divided into six departments, in charge of attendants, admonitions, repairs, collections, review, sealing and refutation of edicts, refutation of memorials submitted by hundreds of divisions, supervision of six ministries and divisions, impeachment of hundreds of officials, and complementary to the censor.

Yang Sizhong was not polite and asked directly in front of everyone: "May I ask His Highness the King of Han, where is the Japanese mission now?"

"The Japanese envoy was thrown into prison by my king. What happened? Is there any problem?"

Zhu Gaoxu turned to look at this person, his eyes becoming a little cold.

He didn't expect that there would actually be people who were not afraid of death and would jump out to cause trouble.

Is this what the prince meant?

Yang Sizhong seemed a little stunned as he didn't expect Zhu Gaoxu to be so upright.

King Han didn't even mean to hide anything, he said it directly, which made the stern question he had prepared suddenly get stuck in his throat, making it very uncomfortable.

"Your Highness the King of Han, may I ask what the Japanese mission committed? Why were they sent to prison?"

"Are you a fool? The prince of Japan insults the people of Ming Dynasty and intends to assassinate the king and shake the country of Ming Dynasty!"

Ministers: "???"

What?

To assassinate you?

You need some face!

Prince Yanren was obviously dragged out by you and beaten half to death in public!

With Yanren's small body, he would only dare to assassinate a gorilla like you when he is tired of living!

I have never seen such a shameless person!

His Highness the King of Han is really well versed in this ability to confuse right and wrong.

"But as far as I know, Your Highness did this to Prince Yanren of Japan because he bought two slaves..." Yang Sizhong unceremoniously exposed Zhu Gaoxu's lies, and he was very stubborn.

After all, what happened in the Huitong Hall yesterday had already spread throughout the government and the public.

When the King of Han saw that Prince Yanren was insulting two maids of the Ming Dynasty, he was angry and beat Prince Yanren severely, and also sent the Japanese delegation to imperial prison.

Yang Sizhong couldn't understand. This was a trivial matter, so why make such a fuss about it?

After all, it was a Japanese mission, and the two countries had long-standing diplomatic relations. How could His Highness the King of Han be allowed to destroy it out of personal anger?

However, before he finished speaking, he heard a chuckle.

"Servants? Yang Sizhong, in your eyes, those two Ming women are just slaves?"

"Or do you think that the common people of Ming Dynasty are all targets of bullying and enslavement by foreign barbarians?"

The ministers suddenly felt a chill in their hearts, and their expressions became serious.

Anyone who is familiar with the King of Han knows that the King of Han is furious and this Yang Sizhong is going to suffer!

"I...this...that's not what I meant..."

Yang Sizhong panicked. If he was given this title, not only would his reputation be ruined, but he would also become a street rat despised by everyone!

"Then what do you mean? Do you think that this king should not beat Prince Yanren because he was humiliated by two Ming women? Do you think that this king should turn a blind eye, turn a deaf ear and watch him insult my people of the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Gaoxu did not tolerate him at all. As he spoke, he walked closer and looked down at Yang Sizhong.

He was really angry. He didn't expect that there would be a weakling like Yang Sizhong in this court, with a base servility in his bones!

"Your Highness, the King of Han, I have absolutely no intention of doing this. I am an official admonisher, and my duty is to report things based on rumors. Is it possible that Your Highness, the King of Han, will sin for your words?"

"What's more, our country, the Ming Dynasty, is a country of etiquette. We have always been gentle and gentle towards others, and have won the support of surrounding vassal countries!"

"Your Majesty, by acting like this, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of your subjects!"

Yang Sizhong faced the Prince of Han directly. The huge pressure brought by the difference in size caused cold sweat to break out on his forehead.

He was really scared in his heart. The Han prince in front of him suddenly acted stupidly and beat himself up directly in the court.

But after all, he has been doing etiquette for so many years, and he still has a bit of a bloody heart.

However, when these words fell into the ears of Xia Yuanji and others, they were like a reminder.

This Yang Sizhong is completely finished!

Sure enough, Prince Han laughed loudly after hearing what he said.

The laughter was mixed with endless anger, and Yang Shiqi and others felt their hearts tremble when they heard it.

"It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous!"

"Tsk tsk, Yang Sizhong, is this your philosophy of being an official? You have studied Confucian classics for so many years, but you have learned them in a dog's belly?"

"What is the Confucian concept? Benevolent governance! I want you to implement benevolent governance to the people of the Ming Dynasty, not to kneel down and lick the foreigners under the banner of benevolent governance!"

"Before you say such nonsense, you might as well ask the people along the coast how their lives have been over the past few years."

Yang Sizhong's expression was stagnant and he did not dare to answer the question.

He was frightened by the crazy look of King Han!

"You said the two countries have diplomatic relations? I asked you what kind of diplomatic relations?"

"Since the second year of Hongwu, UU Reading www.uukanshu.netｔJapanese pirates have driven pirate ships to plunder the coast of the Ming Dynasty. They have burned, killed, and looted without hesitation, and they have not stopped until today!"

"Do you know how many people along the coast lost their lives innocently because of this? How many people had their families destroyed because of this? How many women were insulted by Japanese pirates because of this? Do you still have the nerve to keep talking about the diplomatic relations between the two countries in this court?"

A series of sharp scoldings directly confused Yang Sizhong.

He wanted to refute, but found that he had no words to refute!

The dangers of Japanese pirates were well known to both the government and the public, but because the Ming Dynasty was now strong and focused on naval and maritime construction, Japanese pirates failed to cause serious trouble.

However, this does not mean that there will be no Japanese pirate intrusion in coastal areas, or that there will be no suffering for the people in coastal areas!

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Yang Sizhong coldly, with a trace of contempt flashing in his eyes.

"You guys, intellectuals and officials, eat food grown by the common people, wear clothes woven by the common people, and preach a few benevolent policies. Do you think you are loyal?"

"A dog like you, who is just trying to gain fame and sell names, is worthy of wearing this Xie Zhi suit?"

As soon as the words fell, the officials suddenly felt bad.

Gu Zuo, the censor of Zuodu, immediately came out to plead for Yang Sizhong, but it was already too late.

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand and shouted coldly: "Come here, take off this piece of shit's official uniform, fork it out with fifty sticks, expel it from the capital, and will never be employed!"

Yang Sizhong suddenly panicked and started shouting at the top of his lungs, trying to use his status as an official and remonstrating minister to avoid this physical pain.

After all, it was the duty of admonishing officials to remonstrate with officials, and the Yongle Dynasty had never seen an admonishing official convicted for his words.

However, Zhu Gaoxu has no scruples. He is not an emperor, and he does not need a reputation. He is afraid of a hammer!

"Get out! Fight!"
