Zhu Xu listened quietly, his expression still.

After Wang Shengyong finished speaking, a group of people looked at Zhu Xu with bright eyes, trying to find out his inner thoughts from his expression.

King Zhu Youjian, Xiong Wencan, Yu Anxing and others knew some of Zhu Xu's thoughts, but they didn't dare to interrupt at this time.

After a while, Zhu Xu slowly said, "Is there anything else to say?"

Zou Weilian looked at Zhu Xu and felt uneasy. He thought about it in his heart and stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed not appropriate to have a war at this time. It is important to make internal government affairs. The rest is the next step. It will not be too late to wait until our dynasty overcomes the natural disaster and restores the national strength to fight again."

Zou Weilian came out, even if he was the final sound of the civil servants.

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, sat upright, and said lightly: "A few years ago, our national strength was not good. Did he say that I should not attack Jiannu, but should listen to the opinions of those adults, abandon Liaodong and guard Shanhaiguan?"

Zou Weilian, Wang Shengyong and others frowned. The emperor could not refute these words, because the facts proved that the emperor was right. Jiannu had been defeated and the entire territory of Liaodong was recovered.

Wang Shengyong lowered his eyebrows for a while, then raised his hand and said, "Emperor, Jiannu is completely different from Franjiren. Jiannu is threatening in front of him. It is easy for a large army to conquer, but Franjiren is thousands of miles away and raises troops to attack, which is of no benefit to the country or the people. Please think twice."

Zhu Xu glanced at him and said, "You are right." After he said this, he paused and picked up the teacup beside him.

When Wang Shengyong heard this, he hurriedly said, "I ask the emperor not to engage in military affairs. The affairs of business and civilians at sea will be handed over to my Fu and Jianshe Governor's Office."

After drinking tea, Zhu Xu looked at Wang Shengyong and said, "Franchise, the Red-haired man came to my neighborhood of Daming thousands of miles. Do you think they would just come and take a look and then go back home? As far as I know, their ships are strong, cannons are powerful, and hundreds of large ships have repeatedly invaded Taiwan, Xiamen, and guarded them. In the past, it was Jinghai, but now I have to do this too? Let them land directly and save resistance? Or, build a Great Wall on the sea, so we all hide in it and enjoy peace and never go out for the rest of our lives?"

Zhu Xu's voice was very calm, with a cold chill.

Zhu Youjian, Xiong Wencan, Yu Anxing and others bowed quietly, not daring to speak.

Zou Weilian, Wang Shengyong and others were in a heavy heart. They were not worried that Zhu Xu would punish them, but were worried that if the emperor launched a large number of troops, the consequences would be unpredictable, especially Fujian, which would be the first to be affected!

In this situation in the Ming Dynasty, no matter what, we cannot raise troops overseas!

Senator Tian Yufu raised his hand and said, "Emperor, every drink and every peck is all about the people's fat and ointment. Once a war starts, it will be very expensive, and it is for some overseas unfair people. The real amount is wasted. Please think twice!"

Zhu Xu glanced at him, turned to look at Yu Anxing, and said, "You are a general, tell me."

Yu Anxing quickly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that it should be severely punished. If you don't talk about victory or defeat, you will tell Franji people that I cannot deceive you in the Ming Dynasty, and even more so, the people in the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Xu's expression remained motionless, and his eyes turned to Zhu Youjian, the King of Tang.

Zhu Youjian immediately stood up and said in a deep voice: "Master, the navy has been preparing for war for a long time and can be able to fight. Whether it is the Red Haired Man or the Franchise Man, we have won, and I have confidence!"

Xiong Wencan quickly stood up and said in a stern manner: "I ask for a fight!"

Zou Weilian turned his head and looked at the three people, frowned, feeling that they were aware of the holy intention and flattering them.

Just as he was about to speak, Zhu Xu looked at him and said indifferently: "I'll tell you a story."

The lobby is now divided into two factions, with civil officials leading to harmony and military generals leading to war.

Zhu Xu was sitting alone. When he said this, everyone could only listen carefully.

Zhu Xu leaned on the chair, and the fan opened with a snap. He said with a little thought: "Hors are all domesticated from wild horses, and pigs are too. Wild boars are fierce, thick skin and sharp teeth. Even tigers are afraid of them when they see them. But since the fence, they have been restless and only know how to eat and sleep. No matter how many things are outside, they only know how to grow flesh with peace of mind. It takes several generations. Their fierceness is gone, their teeth are deteriorating, and their skin becomes soft. At the same time, the tigers and wolves around are always eyeing each other, constantly rushing to the fence. Guess, how long can this fence last? What if the fence can't hold it anymore, what should I do if the pig inside?"

They all understand Zhu Xu's simple metaphor.

This wild boar is the Ming Dynasty, the fence is the Great Wall or the coastline, and the tiger and wolf are the Jiannu, Mongolian, ancient people, the red-haired people on the sea, and the Franji people.

Such metaphors are naturally not favored by civil servants, especially those who are interested in them.

Zou Weilian and others frowned, thinking about speaking, Zhu Xu's eyes suddenly became cold and said coldly: "When Taizu Chengzu, our dynasty was so powerful, the world was peaceful, and all nations came to pay tribute! But when Xuanzong, he withdrew troops from Annan, burned all records of Zheng He's ships, and the disaster was still here. If Zheng He's fleet was still there, where did the Japanese pirates come from, and where did the three Korean expeditions come from? If Annan was still my Ming Dynasty, where did the Annan chaos come from, and where did the decades of war in Myanmar?"

His tone was getting stronger, and he snorted coldly, saying, "From ancient times to the present, dynasties have changed, and the disaster of the destruction of the country has all been attributed to powerful ministers. Is it that simple? Taizu conquered the country, Taizong established his roots, and later generations released the horses of the south mountain to enjoy peace. People in the world are even more lazy and hate labor. Once they encounter problems, they retreat, fear hardship and trouble. If they have to blame in advance, they are irresponsible and enterprising!"

"These dynasties are like this, and they are followed by generations. The result is that everything is pushed to future generations, so it is difficult to return and cannot be cured. The changes of dynasties come from this!"

"If the person involved can deal with it decisively and take responsibility, how can the dynasty change and the rise and fall of the dynasty? Tell me, answer me!"

When Zhu Xu talked about it, it turned into a denunciation!

Wang Shengyong was not afraid at all and raised his hand and said, "Emperor, the civil and military achievements are the ones that the Holy Emperor have. Our dynasty is full of holes and is waiting for development. We should correct our internally and cultivate our virtues outside. We must not use military force to build military force and evil neighbors!"

Zhu Xu's eyes were cold and he was pressing towards him and said, "What is military military power? Qin Emperor and Han Wu? Tang Emperor and Song Zu? Or Taizu Chengzu of our dynasty? Cultivate politics internally and cultivate virtue externally? So you want me to abandon my martial arts skills? I can't move a slight soldier? You must be careful again and again. No movement can be allowed by you. You can only stay in your old fortune for the rest of your life?"

Wang Shengyong frowned, lowered his head slightly, and did not dare to look directly at Zhu Xu's gaze.

Tian Yufu looked at Zou Weilian in front of him, raised his hand, and said carefully: "Your Majesty, but I still remember the old story of Emperor Yingzong."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole room became quiet.

The old story of Emperor Yingzong was the scar of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor was captured, the capital was surrounded, and countless casualties were killed or injured.

This incident had a great blow to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty also began to decline from this time.

As a descendant of the Zhu family and the current emperor, Zhu Xu is undoubtedly his family scandal, exposing his shortcomings and slapping him in the face!

Zhu Xu looked at Tian Yufu and felt angry.

These people are just stones in the pit, smelly and hard, no matter what, it is useless, and they have to be cruel!

Zhu Xu slowly stood up, with his hands behind his back, and said coldly: "Who were the people who followed Yingzong to the fortress back then? Hundreds of thousands of troops, but the result was that the army was defeated and Yingzong was captured. Whose fault was this? Emperor Yingzong? Is it Wang Zhen? Why are you ministers always right? Since ancient times, everything is the fault of women, internal supervisors, and treacherous ministers. Then what have you loyal ministers done? If they did the things, what do I want you to do!"

Zhu Xu almost shouted at the end.

"I am aware of the crime!"

Zou Weilian and others were shocked and knelt on the ground one after another.

"deliver an imperial order!"

Zhu Xu's eyes were like a knife, almost real, and said in a deep voice: "Fujian officials were lazy and inactive, with their eyes like fireflies, and were pedantic and incompetent, unable to bear the great responsibility. They were below the governor, and above the sixth rank, all demoted to three levels in a row, and remained on duty. If there is any inappropriateness, they will be dismissed on the spot and investigated and punished severely! Anyone who pleads with mercy will be punished with the same crime!"

Zou Weilian's heart skipped a beat, and the corners of her mouth moved, and she forced herself to speak.

Wang Shengyong and Tian Yufu knelt on the ground, trembling and heartbroken. Quanfu. Jiandu was demoted to three levels in a row, all because of them. Regardless of whether the emperor would deal with them or not, Quanfu. Jian's officials would definitely tear them away!

The two of them were on the ground, their bodies were cold, trembling constantly, and their minds were filled with fear.
