Chapter two hundred and first pressure like a mountain

There were more than twenty people who discussed this time, with great momentum and pressure rushing towards Zhu Xu at the top like a sea of ​​rush.

King Xin frowned slightly, Gu Bingqian's expression remained motionless, Sun Chengzong's expression was slightly calm, Wei Guanghui smiled, Yang Lian's expression was slightly moved, and no one spoke.

The neutral court officials looked at the Donglin Party members who stood up and quietly glanced at Fu Changzong, but were indifferent. They also felt that opening the salt ban as soon as possible was the main task. If you delay it, you would probably really cause chaos.

Fu Changzong looked up at Zhu Xu, Zhu Xu shook his head slightly, his eyes fell to Zhu Youjian in front of him, and said, "Brother Xinwang, what do you think?"

Zhu Youjian was stunned and stood up and said to Zhu Xu: "I will report to the emperor, and the Minister of Justice, Mr. Ni, has a solution."

Ni Wenhuan had already talked about this in the Xinwang Mansion, and he came out and said, "I have reported to the emperor. I believe that now, not only salt prices, rice prices, grain prices, etc., all the prices of goods that concern the people are soaring. Illegal businessmen hoarded goods and raised prices, causing people to suffer misery and business discussions to be boomed. I suggest that a new price department is set up in the Ministry of Revenue to strictly control prices that concern people's livelihood. The assessment of officials in various places will also be included in the Ministry of Personnel's assessment. Anyone who is illegal will be severely punished."

All the ministers in the court were stunned. They were clearly discussing the matter of salt administration, but now they have shifted to prices. However, this matter is open and upright, and they cannot resist it.

Zhu Xu looked at Gu Bingqian and said, "What do the cabinet say?"

Gu Bingqian is an old fox. Although he can't see the specificity, he is also speculating that this matter is mostly a double act between the emperor and the king of Xin.

He stood up and said quietly, "I have had this intention long ago, so I can do it."

Zhu Xu nodded and said, "Okay, the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel will review and plan to issue a document and hand it over to the cabinet for review, and make a world of development."

"Abide by the order!"

Fu Changzong and Zhou Yingqiu stood up at the same time and bowed to receive the order.

After the two retreated, they looked at each other quietly, with smiles on their lips.

Zhu Xu glanced at the ministers who had not yet reacted and said, "Next..."

"Emperor!" Suddenly, Yang Lian took a step and shouted: "Emperor, the high salt price is imminent this time. I believe that the salt ban should be opened as soon as possible to stabilize the salt price. I hope the emperor will be grateful."

Yang Lian's stand-up was like a signal.

The Donglin Party members stood up one after another, and from Zhu Xu, they were almost straight lines.

"I agree with Lord Yang's words."

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I agree."

"I'm going to discuss it."

When King Xin saw it, his face also darkened. In his opinion, it was not the ministers who forced the emperor so much.

Gu Bingqian looked up at Zhu Xu, lowered his head and walked out, his voice was old and powerful: "Report to the emperor, I believe that the salt ban should be opened as soon as possible, otherwise the salt price will be difficult to settle."

Zhu Xu looked at Gu Bingqian with a slightly cold look.

Gu Bingqian lowered his head and couldn't see it, but he was also nervous. However, the money was in his pocket, and this time it was indeed related to state affairs, in his opinion, Zhu Xu would not have any doubts about him.

After Gu Bingqian finished speaking, Wei Guanghui also stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I also believe that the salt administration should not be delayed, and it should be restarted as soon as possible, and Xia Yan should not be missed."

"I believe that what Mr. Gu said is very true, and the salt ban should be opened as soon as possible."

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

With Yang Lian and Gu Bingqian stood up, the party members lined up in an orderly manner. This time, not a dozen or twenty people, but most of the court!

Zhu Xu glanced at him and found that there were nearly a hundred people!

The rest are either neutral or trusting the king. The only three people belong to the emperor Zhu Xu, Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu, Zhao Han. Of course, Ni Wenhuan and Wang Shaohui are now "undercover".

King Xin turned around and looked at the civil and military officials in the court. Anger surged into his chest, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.

Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu and others also frowned. Nearly most of the court officials demanded the opening of the salt ban, which means that Zhu Xu's resistance to promoting the new salt administration was greater than expected!

Zhu Xu tapped the table with both hands, looked around and said, "It seems that I have to put some hard medicine."

He raised his head slightly and was about to speak when an eunuch appeared at the gate, hurried forward, and shouted: "Your Majesty, Grand Secretary Ye is asking for a visit outside the palace."

Zhu Xu's words were blocked in his throat, his eyes narrowed, and he smiled slightly and said, "Xuan!"

Most people in the court were frightened and then changed color. Ye Xianggao went to Beijing again and said that he was determined to become an official. Once he returned, many people would naturally move their positions. For the current clearly divided court, no one liked it except the Donglin Party.

The most worried thing is Gu Bingqian. Ye Xianggao's comeback means that he, the chief assistant, has to move his position. Now I can't help but regret it. Today I have a little dissatisfaction with the emperor's wishes.

Sun Chengzong held the tablet and tried his best to avoid party disputes. He rarely spoke in the court. But when he heard Ye Xianggao come back, he couldn't help frowning. Ye Xianggao, like most people in Donglin, advocated giving up Liaodong, defending Shanhaiguan with all his might, and focusing on handling internal affairs.

This is completely different from his idea!

Ye Xianggao was over 60 years old and stepped in through the palace gate and walked slowly towards the hall.

All the civil and military officials of the court looked at Ye Xianggao. He was solemn and motionless, calm and composed, walked to the front and raised his hand and said, "Since, Ye Xianggao, pay homage to the emperor, my emperor will die!"

Zhu Xu looked at the costume of the Taifu, and the extremely noble Ye Xianggao said with a smile, "The Taifu is flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Ye Xianggao slowly flattened his body, took out a memorial from his sleeve, and said, "Although I am far away from the court, I dare not forget to worry about the country. I summarized the thirteen memorials of the government and hope that the emperor would be right."

Cao Huachun had already gone on, took the note and presented it, and Zhu Xu said, "I'm sorry."

Cao Huachun paused, opened the memorial and said to the following: "There are thirteen mistakes in national affairs: first, the mistakes in official affairs, second, the mistakes in salt affairs... The thirteenth mistakes in field affairs. The government of official affairs is about administration but not implementation, and the mistakes in salt affairs are about law but not appropriate, and the effect is carried out on the top and the bottom is about…"

In Zhu Xu's view, hundreds of words are all big truths and there is no specific solution.

After Cao Huachun finished speaking, Yang Lian stepped forward and said, "I think what Master Ye said is very true, so I should be allowed!"

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

"I'm going to discuss it."

The Donglin Party seemed to have found its backbone, more enthusiastic than Yang Lian was, louder and more people.

Ye Xianggao has been in the cabinet for more than ten years, and his prestige is far beyond Yang Lian's comparison. Even many neutral ministers stood up at this time, almost the entire court, spanning many cliques.

Although Ye Xianggao talked about the Thirteen Commentary, the most concerned thing in the court and the public are the salt administration. Therefore, this commentary still requires Zhu Xu to ban the salt administration.

Zhu Xu looked at the people who were discussing the matter below and felt very stressed.
