Chapter 1023: Those who hold wages for everyone must not freeze to death in the wind and snow
Tens of millions of commercial taxes and tariffs flowed into the pockets of Fujian and Zhejiang bureaucrats. Who are Fujian and Zhejiang bureaucrats? The Donglin Party?
Of course, some of them fell into the hands of "pirates" like Wang Zhi.
This is why Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng in the northwest responded to each other, but Jiangnan basically did not hear the real reason why the people raised the Ming Dynasty and caused the rebellion. The scholars in Jiangnan were still "loyal" to the Ming Dynasty.
This is also the reason why the Northwest Rebels killed all Mingshi every time they went.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty was accompanied by a fire and a sea water. There were tragic events in the world where the people in the west and the north were starved everywhere, as well as the thin horses in Yangzhou, Jiangnan and the eight beautiful women in Qinhuai, and the whole world was torn into two halves.
Wu Zheng knew all this, and because of this, the anger in Wu Zheng's heart was instantly ignited.
"Those who carry firewood for everyone should not be frozen and killed by the wind and snow. Those who set the way for the revival of the Ming Dynasty should not be trapped by the thorns. It is true that the remnants of the navy were defeated in the war, but the court did feel ashamed of them."
Wu Zheng's low voice echoed over the Fengtian Palace, "Heroes cannot be allowed to shed blood and cry. Those who are loyal to the country must be rewarded. Only in this way can our tribe heroes emerge one after another and continue to live..."
Wu Zheng's voice was not loud, but it was the noisy and hustle and bustle that could not be concealed.
Wang Yilin was crying silently. He really didn't expect Wu Zheng to do this.
Even Huang Daozhou and Qian Sule shook their heads and sighed. It was not that they did not agree with Wu Zheng's words, but that they had already understood that Wu Zheng had made up his mind to shake the entire court, but the cost this time was too high and it was not worth it!
"I'm going to discuss it!" Qian Sule knew that he had to support Wu Zheng at this time.
"I'm going to discuss it!" Huang Daozhou no longer wondered whether he should keep a distance from Wu Zheng.
A fire surged in the hearts of the two of them. The fire ignited by Wu Zheng's words was the fire they had had decades ago, the fire they originally thought had been extinguished by the world!
The two subordinates and Wu Zheng's supporters stood up one after another and said in unison: "I'm going to discuss it!"
However, there were only a hundred people, and there seemed to be quite a few, but compared with the total number of hundreds of officials in this palace, there were still fewer.
Seeing this scene, Wu Zheng felt more sad than anger.
If people's hearts are so numb, how can the Ming Dynasty not perish?!
Wu Zheng was glad that he had gotten rid of this court and was in charge of his own in Hangzhou Prefecture, but Wu Zheng was still sad.
The Northern Expedition is not difficult, but the difficulty is to rebuild a social atmosphere, punish evil and promote good, reward merits and crimes, so as to rebuild a Han Ming Dynasty.
But what is good and evil? What is merit and what is sin?
If even fighting for the country and sprinkling blood on the battlefield is no longer a merit, then what else is merit?
To endure humiliation and live in vain, to accept it?
No! No! No!
At least Wu Zheng believes that it is not.
Wu Zheng did not stand up, but just didn't want this country, which was already covered with wounds, to experience another civil war.
I just don’t want the knife in my hand to wield it to my compatriots just because of the sharing of interests, even if the other party is not a good person.
But now, Wu Zheng no longer cared. If someone didn’t want to taste the wine, he wouldn’t care about waving the steel knife in his hand!
Wu Zheng slowly turned around, faced his ministers, and slowly said, "I will put this word today,..."
"I...I also agree!"
At this time, Wang Yi suddenly stepped out and said loudly to Zhu Mai.
With his statement, dozens of censors immediately came out to echo, and then many people who were originally watching the fun followed him.
The situation suddenly changed, and Wu Zheng was no longer a minority, and at least he could compete with his opponents.
Wu Zheng suddenly felt warm in his heart.
There is still a rescue in this world!
Wu Zheng even felt a little grateful to Wang Yi because he told him not to get contaminated with his compatriots' blood in his hands today.
Perhaps I felt Wu Zheng's gaze, or perhaps Wang Yi was about to look up.
When Wang Yi's eyes met Wu Zheng's gaze, Wang Yi said a little embarrassedly: "The King of Kuaiji does not need to misunderstand. I do not want to use this to please you... Conscience makes me feel that what Kuaiji King said just now is reasonable. It is in a chaotic world. If you take expedient measures, you should know how to adapt... But I still believe that merits must be rewarded and that crimes must be punished... The remnants of the navy are guilty, but the deceased has passed away. You can not pursue the crime, but only reward the merits..."
"I know." Wu Zheng interrupted, "But I still thank you for your conscience at this moment!"
Wang Yi was stunned and silent.
Zheng Youde, who was huddled behind the man, was anxious, "Mr. Wang, there are more than a hundred people living in the navy..."
Wang Yi was slightly stunned and turned his face and said coldly: "I have never heard of this. As far as I know, the remnants of the Navy are gone west of Dasheng Pass and sacrifice their lives for the country! Lord Zheng must have heard of it?"
As Wang Yi glared at him, Zheng Youde dared not speak out anymore.
Wu Zheng was a little surprised. Wang Yi, who had always been known for his integrity, turned out to be a scoundrel, but he was a little clumsy.
It's Zhu's turn to express his opinion.
But Zhu Moe was silent.
She wanted to support Wu Zheng, but she was unwilling to support Wu Zheng for this matter.
Zhu Mai also felt that both parties were right.
But if Wu Zheng was for his own benefit, Zhu Mai was willing to support him, but for the sake of thousands of dead rebel soldiers, Zhu Mai hesitated.
Although Wu Zheng had the support of Wang Yi and others, his advantage was not great. Zhu Ma felt that it was not worth it to fight against almost half of the officials of the court for this matter.
So, she was silent.
However, Wu Zheng suddenly turned around and bowed to Zhu Mai solemnly, saying, "I respectfully ask you to give up your order and set a heroic example for the people of our dynasty, so as to inspire people!"
This sound was particularly shocking in this tall palace, and everyone in the palace was shocked and silent.
Calling Your Majesty, Wu Zheng resigned to his vassal!
For the more than a hundred wounded soldiers, and the thousands of rebels who have been killed?
Everyone was speechless and couldn't react.
Then everyone's eyes looked at Zhu Niu.
They are all talented people, so how could they not guess what Wu Zheng meant? Wu Zheng was at the price of supporting him in exchange for Zhu Mai's support for Wu Zheng's advice.
Zhu Ma was shocked. She was worried that Wu Zheng would take the opportunity to usurp the throne and become independent on the grounds that his brother sent troops to harm him.
However, Wu Zheng's condemnation here shocked Zhu Ma, and a kind of liberation-like joy and sincere joy emerged in his heart.
To keep this foundation for our ancestors is the mission given to him by Zhu Ma.
Apart from this, Zhu Ma is willing to agree to Wu Zheng for anything.
Wu Zheng's words eliminated all the haze in Zhu Ma's heart, and what gave birth to a strong sense of tenderness.
"The Prince of Kuaiji is worried and troubled by the dynasty, but is a model for his subjects. The matters he reported were always planned to the country, and the palace agreed to... The Chief Auxiliary, the matters he reported to the Prince of the County will be written by the cabinet..."
What will happen next is no longer important, and no one dares to fight against Wu Zheng in terms of his opinions on handling this matter.
On the one hand, they are the new king who is about to ascend the throne, and on the other hand, the prince of Kuaiji who is in a large army. Once these two join forces, they will be frustrated and seek death.
