Chapter 70
Hehe, all the court pushes and lotteries that these civil servants want are gone. I just want Wen Tiren to form a cabinet so that he can promote fiscal and taxation reforms without restriction.

Hu Guang thought so, he wasn't afraid of being ostracized by Wen Tiren.After all, Wen Tiren's cabinet list had to be approved by him.Moreover, the power structure of the empire, the cabinet and the ceremonial supervisor are divided into different courts.The most important thing is that the final decision on personnel is still in the hands of the emperor.

This is actually a bit similar to the practice of later generations, but there are differences.Wen Tijen proposed a goal, or a campaign promise, and formed a cabinet to serve this goal.Unlike later generations, the object of this promise is the emperor.There have actually been several times in history that there have been similar practices like this, but Hu Guang clearly proposed that Wen Tiren be nominated for the cabinet list, which is slightly different.

After he finished his announcement, he immediately received Wen Tiren's achievement value.At the same time, seeing the expression of surprise and joy on Wen Tiren's face was obviously beyond his expectation.I saw that he ignored the "buzzing" sound from his colleagues' low-pitched discussions, and immediately responded loudly: "I obey the order!"

At this moment, his heart was very warm. He didn't expect that those people who did so many things, attacked each other, and fought for the position of chief assistant fell to himself so easily.More importantly, he will have the power to recommend cabinet ministers.It can be seen from this that the emperor attaches great importance to him, which is unprecedented in all dynasties. This is the greatest trust.The death of a scholar for his confidant is a reflection of his mood at this time.

The other civil and military officials were also shocked. After recovering, they all wanted to attack Wen Tiren without winking or contacting their accomplices.After all, the emperor's golden words, you can't directly veto them in person, only by attacking Wen Tiren's lack of qualifications can the emperor change his mind.

However, at this moment, the silent whip sounded again.This time, the static whip had to be beaten for a while longer to calm down the turmoil of the civil and military officials and make the square quiet again.

Hu Guang knew for a long time that many of these thousands of officials were unwilling, so he immediately said coldly and loudly: "I said yesterday that I want you to help me with advice and suggestions, so that the court can have money and do things for the world. Work hard. But what about you, either you only think about the position of chief assistant, or you only know how to send another way. Do you know the severe drought in Shaanxi and the flooding along the coast?"

"In the next few years of my Ming Dynasty, the drought will be more severe, the weather will be colder, and there will be more areas with poor harvests. Under such circumstances, if the imperial court does not play its role, build basic water conservancy, and properly arrange the victims, you can see that the situation will evolve into how?"

As the emperor, Hu Guang could predict the disasters of the Little Ice Age in advance. Even if it turned out not to be the case, these officials could do nothing. At most, they thought that the emperor was intimidating them.On the contrary, after slowly verifying later, he will change his attitude, thinking that the emperor is really wise and powerful.This, perhaps is the advantage of future generations to become emperors through time travel!
After Hu Guang said this, he slowly glanced at the courtiers below again. Seeing that they were all listening to him, he yelled angrily: "The ancients laughed at the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty for being drunk and dreaming, and they used Hangzhou as Bianzhou. I see that you are all similar. Can’t recognize the seriousness of the current situation, or even if someone recognizes it, they don’t take it seriously, thinking that if they are rich and powerful, they don’t care about the floods in the world!”

These words were so serious that thousands of civil and military officials had to kneel down to bear the king's anger.Anyone who stands there shamelessly will definitely run the risk of making an example to others.Moreover, Confucianism has advocated: the emperor worries about the humiliation of the ministers, and the emperor humiliates the ministers to death.No matter whether these courtiers have this idea in their hearts or not, they have to put on a show on the surface.

Hu Guang watched them kneel down, but he sneered in his heart, if these courtiers were really so docile, then Daming wouldn't die, who knows what's going on in their stomachs.

The cold wind howled in the square, or it had been a while, and some people's mouths were already blue from the cold.But at this moment, no one dared to speak.

Hu Guang paused for a while, and after entering the chat group to ask Gao Yingyuan about Jianlu's itinerary, he raised his voice and shouted again: "The reason is that some of you feel that you are rich and powerful, and the court has no money. It’s fine if you don’t have money, and it’s none of your business. But I want to tell you, it’s wrong, it’s a big mistake! If the skin doesn’t survive, how can the Mao general be attached? If the country is destroyed, the family will die, no matter you are everyone It's still Xiaojia! Take refuge in the new master, but do you know how the new master will treat you?"

In the original history, when Li Zicheng entered Beijing, a group of officials opened the door to greet him, thinking that he had just changed his master, but most of them turned out to be a tragedy.Of course, they naturally don't know this.

The seriousness of Hu Guang's description has become more and more serious, and even mentioned the subjugation of the country. From another perspective, the emperor was on the verge of fury, and all civil and military officials had to bow their heads to be scolded.

I only heard Hu Guang sneer, and then said loudly: "Maybe some of you think that I am alarmist. I will let you see that the enemy is at the door of the house, trying to pounce in and eat you. At this time, I look at you How many people are still stubborn, thinking that the imperial court has no money and it has nothing to do with you!"

All civil and military officials were stunned when they heard this, what does the emperor mean by this?Jianlu?But Jianlu is not in the capital!
They were thinking about it when they heard Hu Guangda's voice order: "Show the Desheng Gate, I will let you feel it!"

If at this time, the civil and military officials knew that Jianlu was outside the city and was about to attack the city, then they would collectively persuade them, and they would not and did not want to go to the outer city anyway.

However, this is not the case at this time.The emperor is also sitting here, and no one has come to report the enemy's situation.Therefore, these civil and military officials couldn't understand the emperor's words, or thought that the emperor was letting people like themselves imagine that there were enemies outside the city preparing to attack the city.

The emperor was furious now, and they didn't have that kind of thought about this kind of itinerary, so they let themselves risk being vented by the king to persuade them, and just left!
So, thanks to the fact that the capital is currently under martial law, otherwise those common people would not have dropped their jaws in shock.I saw the royal driver in front, followed by all civil and military officials, coming out of the imperial city in a mighty way, heading for Deshengmen.

This is not just that Hu Guang led two hundred riders out before, it is everyone at the Great Court Meeting, as well as the general Han, who traveled with a full set of outfits.

When Man Gui heard about it, he hurried over to pick him up.

Hu Guang had a kind face towards him, and he was not so cold. He just told him: "Jianlu will arrive in the area of ​​Deshengmen soon. Manqing don't care about us, and go to set up the city defense first."

When Man Gui heard this, he was surprised, but he was even more worried about the emperor's safety, so he immediately advised: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, the war will start, and the general will think..."
