Chapter 1323
"This matter is still undecided! Besides..."
Thinking of this, Fu Youwen couldn't help but turn his head to glance at the many dukes, marquises, and military officials on the other side, immediately calming himself down: "There are still them!"
If the Huaixi nobles initially appeared to be spectators, nonchalant and believing that this matter could never affect them...
Now, they were somewhat dumbfounded.
At this moment, the many military officials, led by dukes and marquises like Lan Yu, stared wide-eyed at the heads of the Six Ministries and other court officials standing outside the ranks in agreement, their eyes filled with disbelief—even though they hadn't stood up to support him, the situation hadn't become awkward! Not only those resentful officials from the Six Ministries, but all the heads of the Six Ministries had stood up?
Although most of these dukes and marquises were of humble origins.
Having spent a long time in the imperial court, they were not unaware of many of the intricacies of the system.
Based on their past experience, these seemingly virtuous but corrupt scholars in the imperial court, even if they were truly clean and honest, should logically be afraid of incurring the hatred of thousands of people by supporting this matter.
This is not right!
Something is absolutely wrong!
Or……
The Huaixi nobles, who had been keeping their distance, finally began to realize something.
Let’s talk about Zhu Yunhuan.
Seeing Zhan Hui step forward, a faint smile appeared on his lips. He then continued, as if he had finally remembered something, "Oh, right, right, and the Ministry of Personnel too. It seems we're all here! This time, all of you ministers are quite united!"
"Are there any others who have objections to this matter? Or do they have other ideas?" Zhu Yunwen raised his voice and asked loudly, knowing full well what the question was asking.
Even the heads of the Six Ministries took the lead.
How could the others possibly dare to have any objections? Even if they had prepared numerous excuses and sophistry in their minds, they dared not utter a single word at this moment.
They all seemed to be mute, their eyes darting around with suspicion and uncertainty, trying to see if anyone had a way to break the deadlock.
After looking around...
Everyone's hearts sank to the bottom—their eyes and expressions were filled with endless fear and bewilderment.
Zhu Yunwen made up his mind.
That's exactly the effect he wanted. That's why he deliberately put pressure on Zhan Hui just now, making it look like the outcome of today's court proceedings was "all six ministers seconded the motion," thus cleanly and efficiently set the matter in motion and starting to move forward.
Regardless of what each of these six people is thinking.
As long as the result is correct, that's enough.
As for Zhan Hui, Zhu Yunwen wasn't unaware of his hesitation and reluctance; it was simply that this wasn't the right time to deal with him. He made a note of this.
A moment later, Zhu Yunwen added fuel to the fire, saying, "Oh? Do you still have doubts in your hearts, my dear ministers? Tell me quickly."
After speaking, he calmly surveyed the crowd, as if he genuinely wanted to listen to various opinions and humbly accept advice.
But the more he does this, the more...
This makes one feel as if an invisible mountain is pressing down on them, making them feel increasingly suffocated.
This imposing aura was so overwhelming that even Zhan Hui, a shrewd civil official who managed to survive under Zhu Yuanzhang, couldn't withstand it, let alone anyone else. So, after a short while, he said, "Your Majesty is wise, and we... have no objections!"
It is unknown who among the court officials responded first, their voice trembling.
Then, this voice caused a great stir, prompting others to compromise: "Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty has no objection!"
"Seconded……"
Inside the Fengtian Hall, no matter how unwilling they were, at this moment only one voice remained.
