Chapter 585: Joining Forces and Opposing Dissidents! Please Allow Your Grandson to Supervise the Country's Governance!

There was silence in the main hall.
As Xia Yuanji revealed the truth about Jiangnan, the entire court fell into an eerie silence.
Xia Yuanji, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, was known to everyone in the government and the public as a "honest gentleman". The emperor personally praised him as "a gentleman among gentlemen" and even affectionately called him his "little abacus".
Such a loyal and famous minister always has the country and the country in mind and will never participate in any court battles.
What he just said is undoubtedly the true truth!
Various rumors that had been circulating in the capital were rampant, and memorials to impeach Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu were also coming in an endless stream.
However, Xia Yuanji's words at this moment were tantamount to a slap in the face of these officials.
Prince Han chuckled and pointed his finger directly at Yang Pu.
"Scholar Yang, I have a few questions to ask you."
"I did kill many gentry and wealthy people in the south of the Yangtze River, but as Xia Yuanji just said, I killed all the evil gentry and powerful businessmen who preyed on the common people, and the wealthy businessmen who were unkind for their wealth!"
"The common people applauded this and wished they could erect a monument to commemorate this king in the south of the Yangtze River. They have also regained their confidence in the imperial court and regard His Majesty as the Holy King and Ming Lord!"
"To put it bluntly, what I did in the south of the Yangtze River allowed the common people to gain land and harmed the interests of the gentry and the powerful. As a result, you courtiers openly impeached me, and even confused right and wrong indiscriminately, and framed and framed me!"
"Then I would like to ask Scholar Yang, who owns this Ming Dynasty?"
"You gentry and gentry, do you care about the common people of the world or your own interests?"
In fact, Zhu Gaoxu is very optimistic about Yang Pu. After all, he is a wise prime minister who has left his name in history. He also did very well in Dongkun in the past few years. In just three or four years, he successfully built a Dongkun Navy. The preparations for the construction of the Dongkun Naval Base were also completed.
I have to admit that Yang Pu does have great talents as a prime minister.
However, Yang Pu chose his great-grandson Zhu Zhanji and worked against him wholeheartedly. Even if Zhu Gaoxu loved talents, he would not let him go easily.
Zhu Gaoxu's questions were extremely heart-wrenching, and he directly tore his face apart, putting the gentry and the court on opposite sides.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew very well that those officials impeached Han King Zhu Gaoxu because he wanted to implement a whipping method that cut off the financial resources of officials all over the world and harmed the interests of officials all over the world. Therefore, officials all over the world rushed to impeach him.
However, just now Xia Yuanji has confirmed that a whip method is indeed beneficial to the country and the people, beneficial to the people, and beneficial to the court. However, such benevolent and good deeds that benefit the country and the people have attracted officials and gentry to fight against each other, but it is only because it hurts their Just profit.
However, the emperor is the master of the Ming Dynasty!
The emperor will naturally implement benevolent policies that are beneficial to the court!
In this way, Zhu Gaoxu put the gentry on the opposite side of the court!
The only way you can impeach me for slandering me is that you are selfish and have no regard for the people of the country. You are worthy of death!
Yang Pu was not stupid. In a blink of an eye, he understood the trap set by the King of Han, so he didn't know how to answer for a while.
How to answer this?
It has become an established fact that the King of Han has merits and demerits, and a whip will benefit the country and the people.
At this time, anyone who dares to stand up and object is truly "dead-hearted"!
But if the imperial court follows Zhu Gaoxu's idea and fully implements the whipping method, then Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han Dynasty, is very likely to seize the power of supervising the country through this incident, and his grandson Zhu Zhanji will completely lose power!
For a moment, Yang Pu's expression changed uncertainly, and he opened his mouth but could not speak.
At this moment, his grandson Zhu Zhanji, who was standing in front of him, suddenly spoke.
"This Ming Dynasty is naturally the emperor's world!"
"Scholar Yang was far away in Dongkun, and he just returned to Ming Dynasty not long ago. He didn't understand what the King of Han was doing in Jiangnan."
"Your Majesty, the whipping law is indeed beneficial to the country and the people, but the tax law is related to the lifeline of the imperial court and cannot be rashly acted upon. Sun Chen thought that the implementation can be postponed until the five provinces in the south of the Yangtze River are completely stabilized. Then we will see whether the effect of this new law can be implemented. The whole world!"
Zhu Zhanji's words not only relieved Yang Pu, but also resolved the dilemma they were about to face.
Yes, I admit that whipping the law will benefit the country and the people, but don’t even think about implementing it now!
When did the five Jiangnan provinces become completely peaceful? The annual taxes and grains have met the standard requirements. Then we can see whether it can be implemented.
Then the operating space is really huge.
The word "wait" is enough to make Zhu Gaoxu's plan fail, at least for three or four years!
As soon as he heard Taisun's words, Yang Pu's eyes suddenly lit up and he hurriedly followed the output.
"Your Majesty, what His Royal Highness Taisun said is absolutely true. The tax law is the foundation of the country and should not be touched lightly."
"What's more, the imperial court is currently facing financial constraints and food shortages. If the new law is rashly implemented, leading to unrest in various state capitals and reduced food production, what should we do? Who can bear this responsibility?"
Yang Pu was even more shrewd. He took advantage of the current shortage of food in the court and directly suppressed the whip method.
After all, if you want to implement this whipping method, you will have to re-measure and distribute the fields, disrupting the previous rural pattern. Who can guarantee whether the grain production will be affected?
The court is short of food now!
There is still a war going on in Indochina!
If you are messing around at this time and the grain production cannot keep up, the Ming Dynasty will really be in chaos!
Seeing His Highness Taisun and Grand Scholar Yang starting to charge into the battle, all Taisun Party officials could no longer sit still and spoke one after another to keep up with the output.
There are only a few reasons why they oppose the new law.
What's more, some directly shouted "the laws established by our ancestors are immutable" and other words, questioning whether the Han King Zhu Gaoxu was seeking fame and harboring evil intentions!
Taisun Party officials were dispatched in full force, UU reading www. uukａnshu.net Hanwang Party officials will naturally not sit idly by.
The two camps started a fierce debate on this. From the six ministers to the fifth-rank censor, they started a fierce debate around a whip method.
The originally majestic and solemn Yongle Palace suddenly became extremely noisy, like a vegetable market.
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Zhanji watched quietly without making any sound.
Emperor Yongle sat high on the dragon throne, looking at the ironic and ridiculous scene in front of him, the anger in his heart continued to build up!
Since he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, this kind of situation has not happened before. It was in the early days of the Yongle Dynasty, when he had not yet appointed a crown prince!
At that time, the military attaches and ministers supported the second son, and the civil servants and gentry supported the eldest son. In order to compete for the crown prince, the two sides quarreled fiercely in the court, and even started fighting openly and secretly to frame each other!
It wasn't until Zhu Di canonized the eldest prince Zhu Gaochi as the prince that everything settled.
However, Zhu Di never expected that this scene would happen again.
And not long after the prince passed away, the King of Han and the grandson started fighting for the throne?
What a bastard!
Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the expressionless Zhu Zhanji, and then gave Gu Zuo a look.
Gu Zuo understood immediately and nodded to someone without leaving any trace.
While the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were arguing fiercely, someone suddenly shouted.
"Your Majesty, the prince has passed away, the grandson is young, the government and the public are uneasy, and people's hearts are in a state of confusion!"
"And His Highness the Grand Sun is still young and has no experience in governing the country. I would like to ask the Emperor to allow His Highness the Grand Sun to supervise the administration of the country, just like the story of His Highness the Crown Prince!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole court was in an uproar.
Zhu Zhanji's face changed wildly, and he looked at the person who spoke viciously.
Because, he didn’t know this person at all!
