Zhu Xu's voice echoed in the hall, which shocked a group of ministers.

They all knew that His Majesty the current emperor was ambitious, but he compared himself to Taizu so bluntly and asked them to learn from the founding fathers of the country, but he was extremely uncomfortable, with a weird look and awkward heart.

Zhu Xu stood behind these adults, with his hands behind his back, his eyes were trembling, his voice was loud and solemn, and said: "I believe that no matter when, if we can maintain our original aspirations, we can continue the past and open up the future, ensure that our Ming Dynasty will be prosperous forever, the people will be peaceful forever, and China will last forever!"

These high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty all bowed to Zhu Xu and bowed forward. Although Zhu Xu was right and reasonable in theory, they were still very awkward and a little difficult to accept.

They did adhere to the ancestral system, strive to protect and stumbling to get to where they are today. But everyone knows that the ancestral system has long been beyond recognition and full of holes. In the past, they regarded the ancestral system as extremely important and regarded it as life. Now Zhu Xu requires them to have the "original intention" and slap them in the face, but they still can't reply a word.

I cannot agree, because many of the ancestral systems no longer exist and cannot be restored now, because many of them were deliberately destroyed by them. How can I agree?

Can't object, what's wrong with restoring the ancestral system? Who dares to say that the ancestral system is wrong? Haven't they been governing the world with the 'ancestral system'? How can they issue the right thing?

Bi Ziyan, Sun Chengzong and others once again realized Zhu Xu's methods, and hit their weaknesses in a few words, making them unable to say or shout, so they could only feel extremely uncomfortable and gritted their teeth and endured it.

Zhu Xu's eyes swept across the backs of more than 20 people, his face was majestic, and he slowly walked forward, saying: "Taizu founded the country and went through thousands of difficulties and dangers. We are not as relaxed as Taizu. We must look at the situation of our Ming Dynasty with the original intention of Taizu and the founding fathers. We must have a big strategy. The world is a game of chess. We must fundamentally solve the problem. We cannot treat the foot pain and treat the head with the headache. We must grasp the pulse of the Ming Dynasty and prescribe a holistic prescription!"

Zhu Xu passed over the crowd, turned around and looked at them, and said in a deep voice, "The situation we face is not as good as when Taizu. We must uphold our original aspirations and respond to the threat of the current Ming Dynasty with new attitudes, new angles, new systems, new methods, new means and new strategies. We need to carefully summarize a series of problems before and after the Ming Dynasty, analyze the basis, plan ten, twenty, or even fifty years! We cannot be self-confidence, and we cannot cut our feet to suit our shoes. How should we view the 'ancestral system', how should we view the series of national affairs from Taizu to the present... etc. These are things we must be serious, frank, not shy, and not afraid to face!"

Zhu Xu smashed the great principles with a uglier expression, looking at the already ugly expressions of these adults, and continued, "What is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, what is the foundation of the founding of the country, what is the Tao, what is the courtesy, what is the emperor's way, what is the way to be a minister... Whether it is still appropriate, I think we all need to carefully review and reflect! We cannot lie on the merit books of ancestors and ancestors, and we cannot expect the saints to shine for thousands of years and tell us how the Ming Dynasty faces the threats now. We have to walk on our own, we have to see, listen with our ears, and think with our hearts! Now, all the ministers, we need a new "eye" to look at a series of problems and threats we face. We have to come up with our own solutions to lay the way for us and our descendants!"

The hall was so quiet that many people had already sweated coldly.

If Zhu Xu's words were put in other people's mouths, they would definitely be "abusive", which would be enough to pull them out and use the extreme punishment!

But the words were said by Emperor Zhu Xu, especially one by one, which made them unable to refute. It was inconsistent with their usual ideas and habits, which made them very uncomfortable and could not say a word.

Zhu Xu stood between Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong, glanced at the two of them and said, "I plan to establish a strategic department to summarize all the threats facing our Ming Dynasty, formulate various major strategies of our Ming Dynasty, promote all classes of our Ming Dynasty to restore the 'original aspirations', and plan the development direction of our Ming Dynasty for the next few decades. As the highest outline for our Ming Dynasty's governance, what do you think?"

"I agree!" As soon as Zhu Xu finished speaking, Fu Changzong immediately stood up.

"I agree!" Zhou Yingqiu was the second one immediately.

"I agree." The third one is Zhang Bingwen, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

"I agree." Zhao Han, Minister of Personnel, was the fourth.

"I agree." Guo Guangxin, the new Minister of War.

"I agree!" Xu Dahua, Minister of Works.

"I agree." Chen Xun, Minister of Rites.

"I agree." Jiang and Su Governor Fang Kongzhang.

...

After Zhu Xu finished speaking, one person after another stood up. No matter what they thought in their hearts, the general trend was unbearable.

"I agree." Yu Dacheng.

"I agree." Chen Congyi.

"I agree." Yang Jingchen.

"I agree." Wang Qiaonian, the assistant minister of the cabinet.

"I agree." The cabinet minister Jing.

"I... agree." Sun Chuanting, the assistant minister of the cabinet.

In just a short time, more than 20 people in the hall had already stood up.

Cao Huachun stood on the top and looked at the person who stood up and felt a little relieved. The Ganqing Palace's control over the outer court was still the strongest after all, and it was not comparable to anyone.

The last ones left are Bi Ziyan and Sun Chengzong. These two are the only people in the court who dared to "bargain" with Zhu Xu.

Although Bi Ziyan has read too many books of sages and his mind is a bit rigid, he has a round idea. After listening to Zhu Xu's words, he still cannot fully understand. The main reason is that he still doesn't know what Zhu Xu wants to do, how to do it, what is the power and responsibility of this "strategy department" and who will take responsibility?

Bi Ziyan put aside Zhu Xu's great principles and raised his hand to Zhu Xu directly, saying, "I dare to ask the emperor, where is this strategic department in the court? What rank is the subordinate of the department? Who is the chief official?"

Zhu Xu pretended to think for a moment and said, "Not rank, not among the court, have no power and duties, only make suggestions, not execution, and no orders. Well, each province will select three people to Beijing next year to establish a national parliament. The Ministry of Strategy makes plans and report to this parliament. After the national parliament is reviewed, it will be fed back to the cabinet, various departments or local governments..."

This 'national parliament' is an alternative method for local governors to stay in Beijing for a long time, and there is no specific rights and responsibilities yet.

Bi Ziyan thought about it in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief. If this is the case, the situation is not serious. He pondered for a while and raised his hand and said, "I understand, there is no objection."

Sun Chengzong glanced at Bi Ziyan and sighed in his heart. He was probably the calmest person in the entire hall. When did the emperor do things so seriously, he would be like "drizzle and breeze" like this? Obviously, there were other major things behind him. He nodded at this time, and he couldn't help but come back.
