Chapter seven hundred and eighty nine

This is the usual method of letting go, these ministers.

Once you are unhappy or unhappy, you will just give up and refuse to do it to show that you are noble, outstanding and strong.

The unlucky one is naturally one of their hands, which is also one of the reasons for the continuous corruption of the administration.

It has been a long time since no one dared to be so presumptuous in front of Zhu Xu. He picked up the teacup and took a sip silently, and his heart was already very angry.

"I would like to retire and return home."

Before Zhu Xu could react, a prefect suddenly stepped forward and raised his hand.

"I would like to retire and return home, and I would like to ask the emperor to allow it." A senator said.

"I ask the emperor to allow me to retire and return home."

"I ask the emperor to allow me to retire and return home."

"I ask the emperor to allow me to retire and return home."

One after another, more than thirty people were standing up, half of them in a blink of an eye!

Cao Huachun was shocked. He accompanied Zhu Xu to the Ming Dynasty for the first time. If these officials in Shaanxi and Xi resigned in front of the emperor, it would have a great impact on the "New Policy", especially, it would also undermine the emperor's prestige!

Li Banghua was just filled with anger for a moment and had no idea how to resign from his post, so he almost instinctively wanted to resign, but he didn't expect to follow him so much.

In this way, they and the emperor will be in a state of embarrassment and will be difficult to recover!

Zhu Xu put the teacup in his hand on the table beside him, looked at the group of people with a calm expression, leaning against the back, holding the handle with both hands, his eyes were like an abyss, and he couldn't see any expression.

Cao Huachun's heart was beating wildly, he glanced at the guard not far away, stepped forward, and whispered: "Emperor..."

Zhu Xu raised one hand and stopped him from saying anything.

Cao Huachun's lips moved and had to retreat.

Wang Yizhou was scrupleless. He held the hilt of the knife in his right hand and took a step forward. As long as the emperor coughed, he would execute all the people in front of him who were boldly forcing the palace!

At this moment, it was not just Li Banghua who felt something was wrong. Those who stood up to retire and return home all felt cold in their necks and trembled in their hearts.

Zhu Xu didn't give them much time to fear, so he put down his hands and said in a normal voice: "Actually, I have always felt that being an official is the best."

Li Banghua and others, as well as the group of people who had not retired and returned home, lowered their heads and did not dare to move at all. Listening to Zhu Xu's words, they held their breath and suppressed their breathing.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but the guards around seemed to be closer to them, and you could even see the cold and cold light on the blade.

Zhu Xu's eyes circled one by one from the people present, and slowly said, "As an official, it doesn't matter if you exceed the rules. You can do whatever you want, eat, drink and be good, and you can also be famous. You are famous all over the world. One day you are unhappy when you do it, you will just give up and refuse to do it. Resign from your official position and return home. You can still get the honor of "advising minister" and "zheng minister". You will return with a full load, write books and make a living your life..."

Li Banghua and others listened to Zhu Xu's words, frowning tightly, feeling nervous, and dared not move.

"Tell me, is it good to be an official? I am very envious..."

Zhu Xu said: "I often think that if you are an emperor, you can come whatever you want and do whatever you want. If someone is unhappy one day, I will just stop doing it. If someone else is an emperor, I will go around and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the world. It is really pleasant..."

Everyone was beating wildly when they heard this. What is this? Where can an emperor do this?

Li Banghua's expression moved, and his heart became more and more entangled, uncomfortable, and he couldn't calm down his anger. He couldn't stand it.

"But, I am a little better than you," Zhu Xu's eyes were as calm as water, and said: "I still know that I can't do this, otherwise I will be sorry for the subjects in the world and be ashamed of my ancestors. So, later I thought, should I learn from the ancestors of the gods? I won't go to court and do nothing, and I'll be free and easy in the palace. Anyway, there are ministers outside, and they will fight if they want to resign. I'm too lazy to care. As long as I live happily and comfortably..."

Li Banghua and others heard the smell, and Yu Guang looked at each other quietly, but he still didn't dare to move.

The sun moved westward, and the shadow of the eaves covered Zhu Xushang himself. He slapped the handle with his right hand and said, "But later, I thought, it still won't work. These adults only care about fighting for power and profit, and have no intention of serving the country. They often put political enemies to death. Or they just want to protect themselves, resign early, refuse to do so, let the administration be corrupt, and the court rules are corrupt, and the foundation of our Ming Dynasty is destroyed little by little. I am still so young. What if I destroyed my country before I die? I can't be a king who destroyed the country, right? How can I be worthy of the subjects and ancestors?"

Zhu Xu tilted his head slightly and said, "What do you think?"

How dare a group of people speak? The emperor seems to be talking about himself, but every word is a bitter mockery of them.

Li Banghua's face was as tense as iron, as dark as iron, with his head slightly lowered, and he didn't say a word.

"So, I envy you,"

Zhu Xu showed a smile on his face and said, "How great are you, you are officials, powerful, wealthy and women. When you are cold, someone gives you carbon to worship, and when you are hot, there are ice. When you are happy, you go to the brothel to recite poems and essays. When you are upset, you can drink and sing... In short, you live a comfortable life. If you are really uncomfortable, you have money and land, you can resign at worst. After returning to your hometown, you will be arrogant and noble in a singular and noble manner, wandering among the mountains and rivers, lingering in gentleness and softness, so free and comfortable, and so desirable life..."

"I understand, too."

Zhu Xu looked at Li Banghua and said, "The reason why I am so happy and sleeping all night long and trembling for so many years, and even ran out of Beijing to inspect most of the world for the first time is that I have one more thing than you, that is... a sense of responsibility!"

"I have a responsibility to the people of the world and dare not slackew!"

"I have a responsibility to my ancestors and my ancestors, and I dare not forget it!"

"I am responsible for myself. I cannot be a foolish monarch or a king who has destroyed the country! As an emperor, I can not write a good article, a good poem, a good handwriting, or even a ignorant person! But I cannot be unaware of how to govern the world, how to make my Ming Dynasty last forever, and how to be a good emperor!"

"Where are you? You are all from Jinshi, you have written good articles and written good words. You are full of talent and have a lifetime of reputation. You are respected by thousands of people... But you have no sense of responsibility! You do not take the people in your heart, you do not have loyalty to the king and the country, and you do not have the laws and regulations of the court in your eyes. You are serving as an official for yourself, for your reputation and your ambitions! When your reputation and your ambitions are damaged and you cannot continue, what you think of is not the people, not the emperor, but to protect your reputation and your ambitions, so you must resign!"

"Loyalty to the emperor is false, for the country is false, for the people is false, and for you, you are all for yourself!"

Zhu Xu's words are every word that kills the heart!

Li Banghua and others felt cold in their hearts, their heads were covered in cold sweat, their mouths trembled, and their bodies were trembling.

They were scared, and every word of the emperor's words poked their souls through, making them unable to refute.

Everything is fake. They are just selfish villains, full of benevolence and righteousness, but in fact they are shameless!

If these words are spread, what kind of face do they have to meet people? It would be better to die here just now!

Li Banghua is already sixty years old. At this time, his face turned blue and white, his lips squirmed, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

Zhu Xu didn't let them go like this, raised his eyes and said in a low tone: "Can I guess what you are thinking now? I still know that being ashamed, I hang myself when I go back, leaving all the stigma to my family, and I'm dead. I'm over and over again. I still have a complacent intention. Find a place to hide, and I haven't seen anyone for ten or twenty years. I'm ashamed, I'll give up, and completely become a shameless villain, tearing the painted skin. You all tell me, which path do you choose now?"

Li Banghua and others were heartbroken and could not speak.

The emperor's words pointed to the hearts of the people and expose their most unbearable side. How to argue? Where can I still have the face to argue?

Those who did not stand up and resigned from their posts quietly wiped their cold sweat one after another. Fortunately, they did not go out, otherwise they would have to find a hole to get in!

Cao Huachun was much more at ease. If the emperor got angry and killed Li Banghua and others here, he still didn't know how much trouble would cause.

Zhu Xu looked plain, picked up the tea that had already been cold beside him, looked at Li Banghua, and said, "At this time, there is nothing to say. Li Banghua, tell me what you think. If you want to choose to die, I don't have any posthumous title for you. I will buy you a good coffin and a good place for future generations to admire..."

Li Banghua looked up at Zhu Xu, his heart was empty, but it seemed like something was pressing down, like a thorn in his throat. After a while, the corner of his mouth squirmed, "Master, why should I do this..."

"vicious?"

Zhu Xu took his words and said, "Why, I tell the truth a few words, you can't stand it anymore? Then do you know how much impact your resignation will have? How many people in Shaanxi will be killed by you? You have read the books of sages for decades. Did the saints not tell you what "responsibility" is? Kong said, Chengren, Meng said, "Which one do you own? Stubborn, stubborn, stubborn, and above the top, and speak for the country and the people. They cherish their feathers when they encounter problems, protect themselves, and die every time. They are all famous? Did the saint tell you, which country is important, the country and your life are not as important as your ambitions? What is benevolence and righteousness? Is this benevolence and righteousness only in you? It has nothing to do with the people in the world?"

Li Banghua was cold all over, his eyes were black, and his body was shaking, as if he was about to fall down.

Zhu Xu's words expose a lot of things, piercing Li Banghua's heart and bloodied.

The person behind him was still young and could be saved, but his face turned pale, cold sweat was covered in cold sweat, his breath was rapid, and his eyes were flashing.

Zhu Xu looked at the expressions of a group of people. It was probably almost the same. If there were more, someone would have to die on the spot. He stood up, put his hands behind his back and said coldly: "After you go back, think seriously about what I said. Before I leave, if anyone wants to resign, I will personally send you back to your hometown, so that you can all return home in glory, glorify your hometown, and leave your name in history!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Before Zhu Xu could walk a few steps, a burst of exclamations came.
