MTL - Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao-Chapter 438 The bureaucrats compromised and agreed to become the king!

  Chapter 438 The bureaucrats compromised and agreed to be crowned king!

  Wu Linzheng was about to grit his teeth, and finally said: "Don't shoot, or your majesty and the East Palace will have a hard time explaining it! I'll go to the cabinet first and ask the cabinet elders what they mean!"

  He Kegang had to ask: "What if they force their way in?"

  Wu Linzheng said angrily after hearing this: "Then let it go! What's the point? Is it possible that you really want to intercept the guard of honor for no reason? Then it got out of hand?"

  He Kegang heard what Wu Linzheng said, so he could only order to let him go.

  Therefore, the officers and soldiers guarding Xuanwumen retreated aside, letting Liu Zongmin **** Zhang Gui's family members out of Xuanwumen.

  Wu Linzheng came to the cabinet quickly.

   At this time, the cabinet has gathered many bureaucrats.

  Because the Department of Planning and Strategy is in the Qianqing Palace, it is not convenient for hundreds of officials to gather.

  Therefore, even Wen Tiren, Bi Ziyan, Lu Xiangsheng and other policy ministers from the policy department also came to the cabinet.

  These bureaucrats, mainly civil servants, are urgently discussing how to deal with Guojiu Zhanggui's strike and failure to return to the court.

   At this time, after Wu Linzheng came to the cabinet, he first reported to the bureaucrats present: "My lords, Liu Zongmin escorted the family of Uncle Guo out of Xuanwumen!"

   "Did He Kegang stop you?"

   At this moment, Cheng Jiming asked.

   "How to stop? Then Liu Zongmin directly brought his servants to raise their guns, wanting to fight. But the court didn't really want to deal with Uncle Guo! Besides, there is no reason not to let him go out of Beijing."

  Wu Linzheng replied.

   All the bureaucrats could not say anything after hearing what Wu Linzheng said.

  Bi Ziyan sighed first, spread his hands, and said, "What should I do!"

   "Report! Zhou Neng, the commander of Jinyiwei and the governor of Beizhen Fusi, has resigned due to illness!"

   "Report! Chen Zilong, the left servant of the Ministry of War, said he was sick and resigned from office!"

   "Report! Xu Fuyuan, the censor of the left deputy capital, said he was sick and resigned from office!"

   "Report! Sun Yingyuan, the commander-in-chief of the Xishan Battalion, said he was sick and resigned from office!"

   "Report! Xishan Industrial Secretary Mao Yuanyi's resignation due to illness has also arrived!"

   "Report! Ye Chengxue, the left governor of Jinyiwei, who is in charge of Jinyiwei, has also arrived to resign because of illness!"

  …

  At this moment, eunuchs from the clerical office responsible for sending and receiving memorials at Zuoshunmen came to the cabinet one by one and reported the latest situation to the bureaucrats in the cabinet.

   Naturally, Wei Zhongxian sent these eunuchs to report, in order to let these foreign bureaucrats know that not only the uncle of the country is on strike, but also the absolute cronies of the uncle of the country are also on strike.

  Wen Tiren and other foreign bureaucrats obviously realized the problem when they heard it.

   "This... What is this going to do? Do you really think that the court can't do anything to them? In my opinion, all of them are not allowed. Let's see if they dare to resist the order!"

  At this time, Qian Xiangkun lost his composure and said something.

   "The root cause is that his Uncle Zhang Guo is doing things willfully. Now that the imperial edict urging him to return to Beijing has been issued long ago, but now he has not come back. Why don't you just issue an order to punish him and send Jin Yiwei to bring him back!"

  He Ruchong directly suggested to take compulsory measures against Zhang Gui.

   "I think it's okay, call the imperial physician too, isn't Uncle Zhang Guo sick, let the imperial physician diagnose and treat him, and carry him back to Beijing to receive rewards and preside over state affairs!"

  Cheng Jiming made a suggestion at this time.

   "Report!"

   "Uncle Guo's memorial has arrived!"

   And just after Cheng Jiming suggested that Zhang Gui be forced to return to Beijing, another **** from the clerical office took the memorial.

  Bi Ziyan was quite looking forward to it: "Could it be that Uncle Guo is willing to return to Beijing?"

  Many bureaucrats also looked forward to it, hoping that Uncle Zhang would not be willful.

  Wen Tiren heard that it was Zhang Gui's playbook, and even came over to finish the playbook in person, and hurriedly opened the playbook.

  But when Wen Tiren saw the content of Zhang Gui's memorial, he looked down.

   Seeing this, Cheng Jiming hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

  Wen Tiren handed Zhang Gui's memorial to Cheng Jiming and said: "Uncle Guo went to Jianghua Island to recuperate. He said that Jianghua Island has overseas miracle doctors who can cure his illness!"

   "Nonsense! Obviously nonsense! He was deliberately fleeing to a farther place before the imperial decree arrived, and he abandoned the king and the country!"

  Qian Xiangkun said angrily.

Wu Weiye, who had been standing silently among the bureaucrats, asked inexplicably at this moment: "If my uncle really wants to sail far, there is no need to forcibly stop him. After all, the government of the country should belong to the emperor, and the Confucian ministers will assist the government. I will reward you." You can shake the seal!"

At this moment, Bi Ziyan looked at Wu Weiye with a grim expression: "It's easy for you to say! The emperor lives in seclusion and does nothing, and the ministers and workers in the world are not talented. How can they assist the government? Not to mention anything else, Let’s talk about the coal mines in Hanhai, do you know how to turn them into silver?”

  After asking Wu Weiye, Bi Ziyan asked the others: "Do you know?!"

  Wu Weiye and all the bureaucrats did not answer.

  At this time, Qian Xiangkun continued to suggest: "Just follow what Mr. Cheng Ge and He Butang said, and directly issue a strict order. If he doesn't come back, his house will be ransacked! Convict him!"

   "This is not asking Uncle Guo to return to Beijing, it is continuing to force him to go further! His Xichang can let him go further at any time!"

   Bi Ziyan said at this moment.

  He Ruchong said: "I said that the sea should be banned! Opening the sea means that it is difficult to preserve etiquette!"

   "According to my servant, the current plan is to first respond to the request of the uncle of the country, make him king, and allow him to live in Lushun."

  Wen Tiren said something at this moment.

   "King?"

  Qian Xiangkun asked very unacceptably.

Wen Tiren said sharply: "Otherwise, what else can I do?! If you don't come according to Uncle Guo's wishes, he won't come back! Now the people in the world need him, and he doesn't need the people in the world! If you don't make him happy first, how can you let him go?" All the subjects in the world are happy?!"

   "What kind of uncle is this, to threaten the court! Playing such a temper!"

  Qian Xiangkun couldn't help muttering, but he obviously knew in his heart that he needed to make concessions now, so he was just complaining.

   Lu Xiangsheng, who has been silent all this time, said: "On the surface, it cannot be said that Uncle Guo is complaining. After all, Uncle Guo's own reason is that he is sick from overwork and needs to rest, not because he doesn't want to return to Beijing!"

  Then, Lu Xiangsheng looked at Wen Tiren, and said, "What Wen Ge said is right, now the subjects of the world need the uncle of the country, not the uncle of the country needs the subjects of the world."

"That's right! Uncle Guo's rewards are not fixed. How will the rewards of the officers and generals be determined? He has just returned from a great victory and his army is in high spirits, but it is also the most prone to accidents. Especially the banner schools below. If you are injured or disabled, if you don't respond in time Giving rewards and pensions will cause mutiny and chaos!"

"Therefore, we need to distinguish between the primary and secondary, and we must quickly decide on the matter of rewards. It cannot be decided just because the uncle of the country does not come back! After all, the imperial court not only raised a uncle of the country, but also raised us officials. We should share our worries for the king! It is necessary to reward the officials and generals of the world, and to satisfy the uncle of the country. Only when everyone is satisfied can the Ming Dynasty continue to live in peace and prosperity, and the uncle of the country will also believe in our sincerity and Come back, and don’t just think that we are lu worms who only want to make money from him!”

  Bi Ziyan followed suit, and said: "This hall agrees to confer the kingship on the uncle of the country! I would like to join the Shu, please allow your majesty."

The other bureaucrats also nodded after thinking for a while, and even Qian Xiangkun, the Minister of Rites who did not want to give Zhang Gui the title of king the most, had to choose to compromise, and sighed and said: "Forget it! In order not to mislead the country and the king, we also want to To demonstrate the extraordinary achievements of the uncle of the country, we will make an exception and make him a king once, so that he will live in Lushun, and our hall is willing to join hands with him."
