The Great Court Meeting is indeed grand.

From Chengtian Gate, through Duanmen, cross the Wulong Bridge to Fengtian Gate, and finally wait for the whole team under the steps of Fengtian Hall nearly three meters high.

Along the way, there were all Jinyiwei ceremonial guards.

On both sides of the high platform, the Jiaofang Department played a great music, and the Etiquette Department displayed documents, congratulations, tributes, etc. presented by envoys from various prefectures and countries to pay tribute.

On both sides of the main road, there are also censors who pick up all officials to supervise those who like to doze off or whisper to each other after standing for a long time.

When Mo Zhinian led more than a hundred officials to the front of Fengtian Hall, the drums and music that happened to enter the court were playing.

Eunuchs on both sides of the hall gate waved their whips and shouted, "All officials came to court."

When Wu Zheng heard the sound, he raised his hand and shook his sleeves of the king's robe.

He took a breath and took the lead.

Mo Zhong Nian was at this point when he entered the palace, but he felt relieved because he saw the people who were cast to him in the Jinyiwei along the way.

Since the situation is still under control, perhaps the abnormality of Wu Zheng and others before is really a kind of venting, or a demonstration, right?

"Your Majesty comes to court, and all the officials greet you--!"

As the eunuch's unique tone sounded, Mo Zhongnian picked up his chaotic thoughts.

He quietly looked up and looked at Wu Zheng not far ahead. Could it be that he would just let you score three points in his heart? When I take over as the chief minister and push you to the great treasure, I will be the minister of the dragon. At that time, will you be embarrassed to make things difficult for me?

When the time comes, the emperor ascended his seat, drums and music sounded, and all officials knelt down to pay congratulations, and the ceremony was as ritual as a ritual.

After the ceremony is finished, the people shout long live, long live.

This routine has been throughout China for thousands of years, and is similar.

Wu Zheng was standing in front of the two civil and military rows at this time, lowering his head slightly, looking at his eyes, nose, and heart, and couldn't see clearly his joys and angers.

"I have a report."

The chief assistant Mao Xiang took the lead, "I will report to Your Majesty that now the Western countries formed a joint fleet and invaded our sea frontier. The King of Wu used his own strength to defend the enemy outside the national gates... However, the territory of the King of Wu was only eleven governments, which was too disparate compared with the joint fleet of the Western countries... I think that the court should immediately transfer the left and right camps to the eastern coast of Zhejiang, and come under the unified command of the King of Wu, allocate money, grain and other materials from the Ministry of Revenue, support the three major navy troops, and recruit the people of the capital and surrounding prefectures to transport it, in order to deliver it to the frontiers of Wusong, Hangzhou, Ningbo and other battlefields in the shortest time!"

As the head of the cabinet, Mao Xiang's advice was actually a decision. He was memorable at the dynasty meeting, that is, to communicate with the emperor. When the emperor nodded, he could issue an edict.

This was also the main purpose of Wu Zheng reorganizing the cabinet and transferring the imperial power to the cabinet.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Zhu Chenyu said with a slight hint: "I deeply believe that the Chief Auxiliary's request is requested by him... Then please ask the Chief Auxiliary to draft the edict according to the law...!"

"Wait... I think it's inappropriate to ask the Chief Auxiliary!"

All eyes turned to where the sound came from, Mo Zhongnian slowly walked out of the queue on the right.

Mao Xiang looked motionless and turned around.

But Wu Zheng still did not respond.

Zhu Chenyu asked lightly, "What are the objections of Mo Xiang?"

Mo Zhengnian stepped forward when he heard the sound, walked to Mao Xiang and stood side by side, just three steps away from where Wu Zheng stood.

"Return to Your Majesty... Our dynasty has just recovered the lost land. It is the time to cultivate the people and regain the prosperity of war. Besides, the national treasury is empty. Before I took office as Minister of Revenue, the court had already owed the salaries of officials in Beijing for more than half a year... Now the court is about to move north, and it requires countless manpower and material resources. If the chief minister advises, collect the financial and manpower of the court and invest in an avoidable naval battle... I think it is very inappropriate, please think twice!"

Mo Zhinian was very calm and talked freely. His words were actually correct, and they were all the truth.

In the eight years of the Northern Expedition, the people made countless efforts. Fortunately, their hometowns were recovered and the seas and rivers were gradually cleared. At this time, they should have lived a life with the people, encouraged farming and prospered the market, and did not have war again.

The emptiness of the treasury is the truth. The former chief assistant Wang Yi was not a good person. In the past two or three years, he has only maintained his achievements. The remaining money in the treasury comes from the accumulation of the former chief assistant Huang Daozhou.

However, at this time, all the silver from the treasury was used by Mo Xi Nian to purchase shares of the Chamber of Commerce, including more than 10 million taels of silver embezzled from the Weaving Department. Where did the treasury get the silver from the treasury?

Of course, this is not Mo Zhinian’s decision to take action without authorization, but to follow Zhu Chenyu’s will.

Therefore, don’t be obsessed with opposition, be reasonable and concise, everything is natural like opposing today’s not raining.

Mao Xiang reacted, and he slowly turned around and faced Mo Zhongnian's side, "Mo Xiang's words are very wrong... All the colleagues in the palace knew it clearly that this war was not initiated by the King of Wu, but caused by the Western countries' intention to invade our dynasty...!"

Mo Zhinian interrupted without hesitation: "I naturally know that this war was not initiated by the King of Wu, and I also know that the joint fleet of the French forces came to attack on the initiative... However, is this war necessary? At least, the court can form a delegation and negotiate with the French people... In this way, can this war be avoided?"

Mao Xiang said coldly: "The enemy has already arrived at the city. What Mo Xiang means is... to form an alliance with the enemy?"

If this is harsh, Mo Zhong Nian will naturally not dare to admit it.

He bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has no such intention... The so-called negotiation is to make their own demands, then make compromises, and finally everyone is happy..."

At this time, Ma Shiying quickly stepped out and shouted loudly: "Don't be obsessed with it, why do you want to compromise with the foreigners... do you want to cede land and pay compensation?"

Mo Zhinian's expression was very calm, "Does Ma Xiang want to throw dirty water on the old man's head?"

Speaking of this, Mo Guaninian turned around and faced the civil and military officials behind him. "My colleagues, everyone understands that the joint fleet of the foreigners cannot reach the shore. No matter whether the war is successful or defeated, what the foreigners want is nothing more than profit and silver. They will definitely not be as important as the Qing people invaded our land... Then, the final key is silver. Just imagine, if we start a war with the foreigners, do we not need to spend... and even pay countless lives... Since the silver will be consumed in the end, why don't we choose to start a peace talk? In this way, at least we can avoid the injustice of the soldiers and innocent people!"

Speaking of this, Mo Ming turned around and bowed to Zhu Chenyu, "Your Majesty, what the old minister said is for the court, for Your Majesty, and for the people of the world... Please give your Majesty a clear guide!"

The lotus is bright and the tongue is as good as a spring... Tsk tsk, it's amazing!

Everyone came down, including Mao Xiang and Ma Shiying, as if they were also confused by Mo Obsessed's statement.

Zhu Chenyu had to name her, and her body leaned slightly right, "What do you think?"

So, all eyes looked at Wu Zheng, who had been resting with his eyes closed.

Wu Zheng slowly opened his eyes and first lowered his head slightly at Zhu Chenyu.

Then walk from the right to the left, and then walk from the worker side to the right.

Finally he spoke, "I think... what Mo Xiang said is really a matter of a conspiracy in the country!"
