Chapter 1446: Resistance, the undercurrent of the imperial court
Chapter 1446: Resistance, the undercurrent of the imperial court
"Yes, it's against the rules," the three civil servants said loudly.
"What's the violation?" Wu Kong asked.
"Whenever the Great Zhou Dynasty responds to national affairs, it must first be adjudicated by the six ministries, draft a statement, and submit it to His Majesty the Great Zhou Emperor. If it is rejected or approved, then an imperial edict will be issued to the world. There is absolutely nothing without the adjudication of the six ministries. The articles have been laid down, and the Emperor of Heaven has made a decree."
After one civil servant finished speaking, another civil servant said loudly: "Yes, if His Majesty's decree is to bypass the Six Ministries, what more will we and the Six Ministries do?"
Wu Kong's voice was cold: "That's because the late emperor often practiced in seclusion and did not pay attention to national affairs, so you and others handled some trivial matters on his behalf. Now that I have newly ascended the throne, I can decide all the affairs of the world. Why can't I bypass the six departments and issue an imperial edict? "
"However, the six chapters were first read, and then the Emperor of Heaven made the decree. This is the established rule and the ancestral precepts. The ancestral precepts cannot be violated."
"It's nonsense. Since the late emperor passed the throne to me, he is entrusting me with the state affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty. What was established in the past is established in the past. From today on, the rules have been changed. I feel that I need to go through the six departments. , must go through six parts, if I think it does not need to go through six parts, I can decide at my own discretion." Wu Kong said domineeringly.
"Your Majesty, whether the rules need to be changed or not, we should first obtain the consent of the six ministries." The three civil servants stiffened their necks and said.
"Please my emperor think twice"
Many ministers stood up together.
There were only three kings standing on one side, smiling but not smiling. The nine former princes and concubines looked at their noses and hearts without saying a word.
Wu Kong's eyes flashed, feeling annoyed.
At this time, shouldn't it be that he, the henchman of the Great Zhou Emperor, was arguing loudly with the opposition, and Wu Kong was mediating in the middle, aloof? How could he need to go out in person to quarrel with those civil servants, and almost have to do so? What's a sign of losing?
They actually refused to share the burden for the contemporary emperor of Zhou Dynasty. What use are these people?
Although Wu Kong knew how to argue with these civil servants, forcefully suppressing them at this time would only lead to unmanageable consequences, and he did not want to go into battle in person to fight with these civil servants until the end.
Therefore, with cold eyes, he glared viciously at the nine former princes and concubines, as well as the newly appointed commander of the "Inspector of the Secret Guard".
At this moment, layman Yuanchu stood up and said bravely: "My lords, this is wrong."
All the ministers' eyes instantly glanced at Yuan Chu, looking like "You are a traitor."
The layman Yuanchu said with a cold face: "As a minister, how can I do this to force the palace? Do you all think that if everyone unites together, they can reject the imperial decree? If so, if you see any imperial decree that is not pleasing to your eyes in the future, you can Putting this aside together, who is the Emperor of Heaven in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and who rules the world?"
The attitude was harsh, and the expressions of all the important ministers changed.
An old man said: "The Great Zhou Dynasty is the only one in the world."
"The way we serve as ministers is to make mistakes based on the mistakes of our superiors. Why not?" said another civil servant.
"Hmph, what happened before has gone wrong now? You are just doing it for selfish reasons."
"Shut up, you treacherous minister. Today's sage is the wisest. The late emperor gave up his throne, and the most sage is. If it weren't for the deception of a treacherous minister like you, how could His Majesty, the current emperor, ignore past precedents and issue imperial edicts without going through the six departments?" A civil servant Shouting accusations.
The layman Yuanchu said loudly: "You all keep following the ancestral teachings, but as far as I know, the previous Zhou Dynasty Emperor wanted to establish ten princes and daughters. I don't know whether it has been approved by the six tribes."
The expressions of all the ministers changed.
"Isn't it true that it is against the law to promulgate the imperial edict without going through the six departments?" said the lay scholar Yuanchu.
The former eldest prince Zhou Jitong also stood up at this time and said loudly: "Yes, when the righteous father and the emperor established the position of ten princes and daughters, it was the most important event in the world, and it did not need to be approved by the six ministries. You have never dared to disobey an edict. Now that the new emperor is on the throne, he has only added a few departments to the court to improve the efficiency of work. You have disobeyed such trivial matters. Could it be that the emperor is young and you are relying on your old age to do evil things? "
As soon as these words came out, all the important ministers gasped.
The person who said these words was none other than the former eldest prince.The strength is naturally different from that of the layman Yuanchu.
However, there were still some people who did not abandon Zhou Jitong and said in a deep voice: "Although the establishment of princes and daughters is a matter for the world, it is also a private matter for the heaven. We and the other six tribes unanimously agree that the will of the Emperor of Heaven should be given priority. If so, When His Majesty the Emperor appoints a prince and a daughter, we have nothing to say. However, other matters must abide by the rules.
"It is said that there is no square without rules. Without rules, the world will be unstable. Without rules, destiny will be difficult to move. Everything in the court has its own rules. If His Majesty the Emperor ignores the past rules, then the world will be decided by the Holy Will. The world belongs to His Majesty the Emperor of Heaven. What use are you to us and the ministers? To govern the world, it can be decided by His Majesty alone. Why do all the ministers and the Emperor of Heaven rule the world together?
"If His Majesty does not withdraw his orders and insists on imposing the imperial edict, regardless of the opinions of our veterans, we will resign."
As soon as these words came out, other ministers also spoke out one by one: "Your Majesty, please take back your order, otherwise, we will resign."
Wu Qingkong smiled.
His grandma's legs, if she doesn't have these ministers, she can't cure the great Zhou Dynasty.
Wu Kong really wanted to fire all these ministers.But no.
If you resign now, you will be recruited by the three kings when you turn around. Then you will tell the world that today's emperor has no way, and they want to use the right to defeat the unjust and restore the world. That would not be fun.
The three kings wish they had an excuse.
When the ministers join their side and raise their arms, the world will definitely respond.
Of course, if Wu Kong had the prestige of the previous Great Zhou Emperor, he would not be afraid of these guys turning the tables. At worst, he would have to replace all the officials with new ones, but Wu Kong could not do that.At least not now.
"Haha, you are forcing me again." Wu Kong gritted his teeth, his eyes flickering, staring straight at the eight former princes and daughters. .
"What you did was not done by the ministers." Other "former" princes and ladies also stood up and accused those important ministers.
As a result, a new quarrel began in the court.
It was reasonable and well-founded at the beginning, but gradually, everyone said his own thing, no matter whether it was reasonable or not, all kinds of rhetoric came out one after another, and some ministers even uttered obscene words, pointing at layman Yuanchu and yelling at each other.
At first, the ministers did not dare to criticize the nine "former" princes and daughters, but the three kings made a little noise and suppressed their arrogance. The ministers began to sneer one by one, ostensibly speaking of these princes and daughters. I was deceived and said some things I shouldn't have said here, but in fact I was secretly pointing at these former princes and ladies and scolding them.
Anyway, these former princes and daughters have no chance to become the emperor of heaven. The ministers who have not taken refuge before have nothing to fear at all, they can just say what they need to say.
Although Wu Kong was the Emperor of Heaven, Wu Kong had bypassed them and issued an imperial edict at will to add more departments to supervise the officials. These ministers were united and supported by the three kings, so Wu Kong could not blame everyone.They are not afraid either.
"Okay, very good." Wu Kong started arguing as he watched.
All the ministers stood up.
"Retreat"
Returning to the backyard of the palace, Wu Kong called the nine former princes and concubines to the imperial study room at the back.
"What do you think of today's events?" Wu Kong asked.
"They deliberately oppose for the sake of opposition to make Your Majesty feel that without them and without their support, it is impossible to govern the Zhou Dynasty." Zhou Jitong said.
"That's right, that's right." Others agreed.
Wu Kong sneered: "Why don't you dare to tell them? They don't want to be supervised by my sect. They are secretly colluding with the three kings. There must be the three kings' instructions behind what happened today."
No one else dared to say a word.
"The affairs of the court, no matter whether what I say is reasonable or not, whether what you say is reasonable or not, and whether what they say is reasonable or not, will eventually turn into a mess. This will be delayed until the new emperor ascends the throne in more than a month. If you do nothing, you will lose your authority in the world and have to be at their mercy." Wu Kong said.
Whether this is the case or not is not important. Wu Kong said so, and those important ministers must be so.
After that, Wu Kong said: "Brothers and sisters, although I have ascended the throne as emperor, you are still my brothers and sisters, senior brothers and sisters. You are the one I trust the most."
Many former princes and daughters just smiled bitterly.
Their bodies have been brought into the "Xianchen Pavilion", why are they not worthy of Wu Kong's trust?
"So, I have decided to let you all join the supervision of the secret guards. You will also serve as commanders of the guards. At the same time, you will be admitted to the six departments to study politics." Wu Kong said.
All the former princes and ladies were shocked.
Wu Kong ignored the objections of the officials and directly created those departments.
However, Wu Kong was just playing tough with the ministers, so why did he have to bring out the former princes and daughters to challenge them? This was to put them on a collision course with the ministers, and they had to go with Wu Kong.
"Of all the important ministers today, who do you think can be a good minister?"
As soon as Wu Kong said these words, everyone looked at each other.
These words are not simple. If you are a "virtuous minister", you must enter the "Xianchen Pavilion".
Wu Kong said: "You all choose your own manpower and set up one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight and nine guards to supervise the secret guards. The laymen at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty will have ten guards. Each recommend a few good ministers to be included in the list of good men. Court. If you are not a virtuous minister, you must be at fault. As inspectors and secret guards, you can also impeach like censors. Starting from tomorrow, you must join hands to impeach at least two unvirtuous ministers every day, and you can impeach more. Few, but not too many impeachments at once.”
Everyone was dizzy.
Wu Kong wanted to play big, and he tied them up to play together.
"Your Majesty, I am a minor minister." The former seventh prince, Emperor Fang, hesitated for a moment and then wanted to refuse.
"You are all virtuous ministers, and I will not be disappointed. You will go wherever I point you to as virtuous ministers. I regard you as my brothers and sisters, and as my confidants, how should you repay me?"
Many princes and ladies did not dare to say a word.
If Wu Kong insisted on pulling them into the same chariot, they would either agree or just suppress and seal them. Wu Kong would definitely not be polite.And if they are suppressed and sealed, if one day Wu Kong's throne is overthrown and someone attacks and enters the palace, their bodies will be liberated. Will the three kings let them go? They will definitely not let them go.The other ministers can be let off, but not the ten former princes and concubines.
The same goes for Yuanchu Lay Buddhists.
"Everyone, please go down first and arrange who will go in to inspect the secret guards. Give me a list later. I will issue an imperial edict again. The inspectors and secret guards can act cheaply. It is up to me to decide whether they violate national laws and whether they should be punished. Inspector of the secret guards, please return. I am in direct charge, and neither the Dali Temple nor the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, etc. have jurisdiction over it, so you can act freely.
"As long as we don't have a direct conflict with the three kings and are caught, I, Paul, will be fine."
Wu Kong was supporting them.I don’t believe I can’t defeat those ministers
They must be convinced orally, and then the generals of the world can be summoned to gather in the imperial capital to unite all their forces into one and rebuild the world.Otherwise, Wu Kong really has no confidence that he can handle the mess that is the Great Zhou Dynasty now.
His methods are rough and direct, without so much beauty or subtle strategies, he only seeks results.It doesn't matter even if someone says he has "no imperial bearing" or even "has no political understanding".It's not that he doesn't understand, but the current Great Zhou Dynasty cannot be governed slowly, it must be governed quickly.
Whatever political compromises, slow calculations, and slow plots, get out of here.
At this time, let all the princes and ladies in front of you step down, and let the layman Yuanchu stay.
"They can disobey the imperial edict and say it is against the rules, but I can also enforce it. They can not cooperate, but I can act without their cooperation. After all, these things cannot be done now. It needs to be promoted all over the world and only implemented in Kyoto.
"However, there must be enough manpower. Therefore, Commander Yuanchu, please think carefully."
After Wu Kong finished speaking, the layman Yuanchu said loudly: "Yes, I will do my best to persuade the survivors of the previous dynasty to return to the Great Zhou Dynasty."
"Okay. I'm just waiting for your words."
Wu Kong took the layman Yuanchu to a mysterious space in the palace, where the true spirits of the remnants of the previous dynasty, including the Great Wilderness Master, were imprisoned.
After the previous Emperor of Heaven left, he would not take these people away. The true spirits of these people were entrusted in the zero-dimensional space interlayer in the dark. There are some things involved in cause and effect in the three, four, five, six and seven dimensions of time and space.This thing is the main factor that keeps their true spirits trapped in this area.
If the previous emperor of heaven took away these things of cause and effect, there would be strong people who could use certain means to speculate on cause and effect and find the whereabouts of the previous emperor of heaven. Therefore, these things could only be left behind.
If it is the Eternal King, it will be destroyed if it is destroyed. However, the Eternal Lord will not die unless he is imprisoned for a very long time and exhausts his luck, but I don’t know how long that will be.
Now, these true spirits are imprisoned in the zero-dimensional interlayer of this mysterious space, surrounded by black tide liquid.Wu Kong dispersed the black tide liquid, leaving a little breath, and then summoned the remnants of the previous dynasty back one by one, and reshaped their bodies one by one.However, the newly condensed body is so weak that it is worse than the Lord of the Universe.Without enough resources, it is impossible to condense back into a perfect incarnation.
The layman Yuanchu was here and explained Wu Kong's conditions to them one by one.
"You traitor!" I heard such words coming from far away, along with my spiritual thoughts.
"If you don't surrender, you will be suppressed forever. When will the Great Desolate Emperor be reborn? If you return, we will make great achievements. He does not want to break his promise, and by conferring the position of King of Desolate and forming a kingdom, we can regain the spirit of the Desolate." Luck. At that time, as long as we manage the territory properly and wait for the opportunity of the decline of the Great Zhou Dynasty, we may not have the opportunity to rise up. Even if we cannot overthrow the Great Zhou Dynasty, we can still expand outwards, and the return of the Great Wilderness Emperor will be just around the corner. Otherwise, we will have a break. When you rise again"
The words of the layman Yuanchu in it were very touching, and they were quite rebellious, but he was not afraid of being heard by Wu Kong.
I don’t know how long it took, layman Yuanchu came out, his face full of joy: "Congratulations, Your Majesty, you have fulfilled your mission."
