Daming: Brother, there is no future for monks, let's rebel

Chapter 423 His Majesty's Rules

"Not bad, these people are more calm than I imagined."

To be honest, Zhu Han was really surprised.He thought that those businessmen would start to make moves soon.

As a result, it took so many days to start.

I don't know if these guys are really calm, or if they are just under the action.

His side had already sharpened their knives and was fully prepared, so these guys made a move.

How about an old saying?Eating shit can't keep up with the hot ones.

"Okay, since they want to die by themselves, this king is willing to bury them, and ordered our people to get ready."

"We must not give those guys any chance to react."

"Want to threaten me with this kind of thing? I will let you all know what it means to steal chickens without losing money."

In the yamen of the Ministry of Finance of Yanjing, in an inconspicuous and remote house.

It looks like a dilapidated house on the outside, but there is another world inside.

Although it is not as good as the Tianzihao room in Jufeng Building, it is also very elegant with carved beams and painted buildings.

Moreover, compared with the somewhat vulgar Jufeng Tower, this place is much more elegant.

The decorations in the room are also all kinds of poems and ancient paintings, which are full of style.

Moreover, any pair of calligraphy and painting here can be exchanged for at least half of Jufeng Tower if it is on the market.

At this moment, several people in the room were all moaning and frowning.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials of Yanjing sat on his hands, his face was livid: "Duan Ranxing, are you really determined to fight against the King of England to the end?"

"If this incident really breaks out, none of us will have good fruit to eat."

Duan Ranxing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance of Yanjing, said disdainfully: "My lord's words are unreasonable."

"Am I the one who wants to fight against the King of England now? It's obviously His Royal Highness, who won't let us go."

"What was Yanjing like when he didn't come? What's the situation now?"

Hubu Shangshu reluctantly smiled: "You can't say that, after all, His Highness the King of England has his own considerations. Besides, the King of England didn't kill them all, right? Our people also participated in those projects, although not as before. It’s so convenient, but it’s not for nothing.”

The disdain on Duan Ranxing's face became more and more intense, and he looked at the people in the room: "I said, you don't think that the King of England is only targeting our Ministry of Finance this time?"

"Can you be sober, the current Yanjing is built as the future capital of the country."

"Once the capital is built and the imperial court moves the capital, will there still be a place for us to stand?"

"We have worked hard for so many years for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. Now, it is just for ourselves to earn a little money for retirement."

"On this request, the imperial court doesn't even want to agree?"

With one hand on the bandage, Li Huairen, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, who looked as if he might die at any moment, coughed up two mouthfuls of blood.

"Ahem! The adults really don't understand? The King of England's visit to Yanjing this time is obviously to build the national capital. In fact, it is to prepare for the relocation of the capital."

"Yingtian's six ministers are all cronies who follow His Majesty to conquer the world. How can we compare them? Instead of worrying about how to deal with us at that time, we can't help but deal with us directly. It will be a hundred times better."

"If the imperial court can't see our determination...by then, we will be fish on the chopping board." Li Huairen also made a gesture of cutting meat.

All the officials from the six ministries of Yanjing who were present fell silent.

To be able to climb to the position of the six ministers, even the six ministers of Yanjing, is a remarkable figure.

How could they fail to understand such a simple matter?

However, for some things, being able to think clearly and daring to do them are completely different things.

The Ming Dynasty has only just been established, and it is the time when the royal power of all dynasties is the most prosperous.

Not to mention, Ming's soldiers were invincible and conquered a huge territory far beyond what they could have imagined before.

Openly opposing such an imperial court, it is clear that he has lived enough and wants to seek death.

Dali Temple Minister Wang Dong suddenly laughed: "Everyone, I think you are thinking too much."

Brush it.

All eyes were on Wang Dong, Dali Temple Minister.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials couldn't help but ask: "What advice, Mr. Wang?"

In normal times, a minister of the Dali Temple, let alone a minister of the Ministry of Rites, even a servant of the Ministry of Officials, should be polite.

Don't look at the high position and weight of Dali Temple.

But in the imperial court, no matter how powerful a person is, he is just an official, and an official is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Officials.

The usual evaluations, as well as various promotions and demotions, or transfers to other departments.

Except for the emperor who personally accepts his fate, no one needs to go through the official department.

If the officials of the official department were really angered, it should not be too simple who they want to deal with.

The method is more straightforward, directly losing the dangerous and difficult yamen, or a relatively remote place.

Or, do it more covertly, showing a bright rise and a dark fall.

Promote a person from a position of real power to a position with an empty rank but no real power.

It doesn't take much, it only takes seven or eight years, and a person can be raised and disabled directly.

This approach is naturally the same in reverse.

Therefore, there is a saying about the official of the Ministry of officials.

But at a time like this, everyone feels a little bit insecure.

Naturally, no one cares about these things.

Dali Siqing sneered disdainfully: "Didn't you find out? His Royal Highness is actually a very well-behaved person."

???

Everyone in the room had a row of question marks on their heads.

"His Royal Highness obeys the rules? Sir Wang, are you joking?"

"This His Royal Highness is from a...cough cough?" Wen Yue, the Minister of Rituals, was so excited that he almost said something wrong, and quickly covered it up with a series of coughs.

"He even dared to touch the descendants of Confucius, what else could he do?"

The others also nodded.

"If His Royal Highness had followed the rules, Yanjing would definitely not be what it is today."

Regarding these people's questioning, Dali Siqing just shook his head slightly: "Before, I also thought the same as you."

"Especially this time, the King of England has disregarded the laws of Ming Dynasty for the sake of a murderous commoner. All his actions make us feel that he is an unscrupulous person."

Li Huairen, Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, held up his severed arm and questioned Wang Dong: "My lord, that British king can do it, openly beat the court officials in the courtroom. Such a person, you say he obeys the rules, It's just ridiculous."

Some people nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Li Huairen's words.A few people had a thoughtful look in their eyes.

Wang Dong, Minister of Dali Temple, explained unhurriedly: "The reason why you don't understand is because His Royal Highness follows his own set of rules, not the one we are familiar with."

Li Huairen immediately ridiculed when he heard the words: "Who does he think he is, does the whole world have to revolve around him?"

After the words fell, Li Huairen immediately noticed that something seemed wrong in the atmosphere in the room.

After being stunned for a moment, Li Huairen's old face couldn't help turning red.

His ridicule, replaced by most people, is naturally no problem.

However, it was inappropriate to place it on Zhu Han's body.

Who is Zhu Han?
His Royal Highness the King of England.

Let alone the achievements Zhu Han has made over the years.

But he assisted Zhu Yuanzhang in expelling the Tartars and restoring China, a feat.

It is enough to leave a name in history and shine forever.

Not to mention, Zhu Han built trains and railways, expanding Daming to an unprecedented level.

If we say that the world really revolves around certain people.

Then His Royal Highness will definitely be among them.

Such people are no longer changed by the rules, but they are changing the rules.

"What's the point of always talking about what you have and what you don't have, Mr. Wang, you should hurry up and talk about how to deal with the King of England." Li Huairen changed the subject bluntly.

Dali Temple Minister Wang Dong smiled slightly: "As I said just now, His Royal Highness will never break the rules that he approves, even if he is a prince, he must abide by it."

"For example, the villager named Miao Lifu, the King of England can simply send a note and ask Jing Zhaoyi to release him. Jing Zhaoyi has absolutely no guts to refuse."

"However, the King of England did not do this. Instead, he went to Jing Zhaoyi to reason with them."

The three words "reasonable" were intentionally or unintentionally accentuated, Li Huairen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, gritted his teeth angrily, but there was nothing to refute.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials urged impatiently: "Lord Wang, let's get straight to the point, don't waste everyone's time."

Wang Dong shrugged indifferently: "I heard that the merchants seem to have made some small moves recently, isn't that right?"

Many people in the room were taken aback for a moment, and then someone laughed.

"How do we know about the businessmen?"

"Before the King of England treated them so well, it's no big deal for them to express their dissatisfaction?"

"I think that's the way to do it. Although His Royal Highness is high and powerful, you can't help but take the life and death of the merchants into your heart."

Wang Dong smiled lightly, but didn't point out the small thoughts of these people: "Everyone, I am the Minister of Dali Temple, and I am not from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I am not interested in caring about your private affairs."

In the corner of the room, a middle-aged official with a thin face said in a hoarse voice: "We are all procuratorates, and we don't have time to deal with these things now."

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that Wang Dong is giving eye drops to the official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

After all, there are a lot of overlaps in the powers between the two parties, and it's not just a matter of a day or two that they don't like each other.

Wen Yue, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, smiled wryly: "I said Mr. Wang, why don't you hurry up and get down to business?"

Among the people present, only Wang Dong from the Metropolitan Procuratorate had an insight into Zhu Han's thoughts, so it was no wonder they were not in a hurry.

As long as they can figure it out, they won't talk to Wang Dong.

Wang Dong raised his eyebrows, enough is enough.

"It's actually very simple. It's just that my lords didn't think about it."

"Let me give you the simplest example. Now there are businessmen who are planning to stir up those workers and let them go to the yamen to make trouble. Am I right?"

Wang Dong's gaze swept over the faces of several ministers present.

Although those Shangshu adults were expressionless, Wang Dong could clearly understand their thoughts.

It doesn't matter if it's true or not, anyway.

Wang Dong smiled and talked freely.

"If you believe in my inference, then absolutely don't do it."

"This kind of thing has touched the bottom line of His Royal Highness. As long as those who are incited make a move, those businessmen behind will wait for His Royal Highness to be furious."

Li Huairen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, gritted his teeth and said, "If this doesn't work, then what are we going to do?"

Duan Ranxing, Minister of the Ministry of Finance, curled his lips: "This is strange, it is obviously those mud legs making trouble, what does it have to do with others?"

Wang Dong was very casual, and glanced at Duan Ranxing: "It doesn't matter, what we say doesn't count, what His Royal Highness says counts."

"If Duan Shangshu thinks there is no problem, he can question him in front of the King of England."

Duan Ranxing became silent immediately, and courting death is not such a way of courting death.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials knocked on the table in displeasure: "Don't say a few words. If you have anything to say, let Mr. Wang finish talking."

After yelling at the others who were about to speak, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials signaled to Wang Dong that he could continue.

Wang Dong nodded slightly: "Everyone, I dare not say anything, but I can completely understand what the King of England thinks."

"However, it can be more or less kicked. Specifically, I don't know how to explain it to you."

"In short, if we allow those businessmen to incite the people to riot, those people will definitely have no good fruit to eat."

"But if we change the way and fire those workers directly, His Royal Highness will not do anything to those businessmen."

……

"what?"

Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief, and they suspected that they had heard it wrong.

Originally, I thought that Wang Dong could come up with some earth-shattering strategies.

As a result, they waited for a long time...

That's it?

Duan Ranxing let out a chuckle: "I said, Mr. Wang, your method is too unimaginable. If you fire those people, they won't have a living, so they just want to make trouble. What's the difference between this and them going directly to make trouble?"

Wang Dong shook his head slowly: "The difference is that we didn't do anything against the King's rules."

"As a businessman, if I feel that these people can't do their jobs, it's not a problem to fire them. As long as we pay enough compensation according to the contract we signed before."

"As for what these people who have lost their livelihoods do, that has nothing to do with businessmen."

"Even if the King of England wished to kill those businessmen, he would not kill those businessmen because of this."

After finishing speaking, Wang Dong said decisively: "This is the rule of His Royal Highness."

"I have already told you the method. As for how to choose, it depends on you."

The six ministers of Yanjing discussed it for half an hour before they came to a star result.

They also felt that Wang Dong's method seemed to be pretty good.

The most important thing is that if you do this, it seems that it is not easy to get burned.

Everyone agreed with Wang Dong's words, at least he didn't have to tear himself apart with His Royal Highness.
