Yan was shocked!
It wasn't until this moment that she finally realized the seriousness of the problem!
The prince knew that there was great resistance to marrying a young man, so he chose his husband Yang Shiqi to be the sword!
However, this is simply a matter of offending the scholars in the world. If my husband really takes this job, he will undoubtedly seclude himself from the scholars in the world!
"Ms. sir, you can't answer!"
Mrs. Yan panicked a little and immediately reminded her.
"Otherwise, we won't take this job, and we can return home, okay?"
Compared with this bad job, Yan was more worried about Yang Shiqi's safety, so he proposed to him for the first time that he should become an official.
However, Yang Shiqi smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"This is an order from His Highness the Crown Prince!"
"You cannot disobey your orders!"
"And the prince also offered a bargaining chip that he couldn't refuse!"
"As long as I continue to implement the idea of dividing small households into households, he will make me the real power of the Ming Dynasty!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Yan was startled and could not speak for a long time.
She has always known what her husband's ambition is.
That is to become the prime minister and assistant minister who holds the central power, govern the country and bring peace to the world, be famous throughout the ages, and be famous for generations to come!
It can be seen that the prince had already eaten his husband to death, so he offered such a price, which his husband simply could not refuse.
But this matter is too dangerous after all!
"Ms. sir, have you really thought about it?"
"This is undoubtedly a revolution in the world, and you will be at the center of this revolution. If you are not careful, you will be shattered into pieces and die without a burial place!"
Although Yan was just a woman, she was from a noble family and was Yang Shiqi's first wife. Her knowledge and vision were far beyond that of ordinary women.
After hearing her words, Yang Shiqi's expression became serious.
Throughout the ages, reforms in every dynasty are bound to be accompanied by countless bloody storms.
Moreover, those who reformed in the past generations almost never had a good ending.
Reformers in history are often the pioneers who make a leap forward in the times. They are the top figures at the cusp of the storm. They can easily be pushed to the cusp of history. Under the struggle between various rights and forces, In the end, it ended up in ashes.
For example, Wu Zixu of Wu State, Shang Yang of Qin State, Zhufu Yan and Sang Hongyang of the Western Han Dynasty, Yang Yan of Li Tang, Wang Anshi of the former Song Dynasty...
Either his reputation was ruined, or his entire family was killed, none of which ended well!
After all, once reform is involved, it will naturally touch the interests of the existing powerful and offend them to death!
If you cut off people's wealth, such as killing their parents, these people will naturally fight back with all their might, and if they find an opportunity, they will drive out the reformers!
And he, Yang Shiqi, will now become a reformer!
Because spreading a small amount of money into an acre is different from a whipping method!
A whipping method is just the transition from the stall to the farm, everything is to prepare the stall for the farm!
Once the imperial court really implements the idea of dividing a family into an entire household, it will directly declare war on the gentry and scholars all over the world, setting off a bloody war without weapons!
He, Yang Shiqi, is the commander-in-chief of this battle appointed by the Crown Prince. He will either win the battle and become an extremely popular minister, or he will lose the battle and be shattered to pieces. There is no way out at all!
As for becoming an official, which his wife just mentioned, Yang Shiqi has also considered it.
He understood that even if he really became an official, refused this dangerous mission and chose to be a deserter, given the temperament and temperament of Prince Zhu Gaoxu, he would not do anything to him. The worst he could do was that he would not be hired in this life.
But to end up in office sadly like this, is that really what I want?
Yang Shiqi shook his head, his eyes full of anger.
He, Yang Shiqi, has been in charge of politics in Nanyang for so long. He has wasted ten years just to enter the court and hold the central power, to become the prime minister and assistant minister, to rule the country and bring peace to the world, and to be famous throughout the ages!
If he really retreats like this now, then what's the point of everything he, Yang Shiqi, did before? Wasn't the ten years Yang Shiqi spent previously wasted?
He has worked hard for so long, he has struggled for so long, and now he finally got an opportunity, how could he miss it in vain?
Offend the world's gentry, so what?
He, Yang Shiqi, was not a loner. Behind him stood the crown prince, Zhu Gaoxu, and the entire Ming court!
Now His Majesty the Emperor no longer manages government affairs, and all political power has fallen into the hands of the Crown Prince Zhu Gaoxu. Even the officials in the court are almost all his confidants!
Although this prince is still a prince in name, everyone knows that he has become the master of this Ming Dynasty, and it is difficult for anyone to shake his position!
Even if His Majesty the Emperor suddenly gets hot-headed and wants to depose the Crown Prince Zhu Gaoxu, I am afraid that the civil and military officials of the whole court will not agree!
Therefore, the order of Prince Zhu Gaoxu is the order of the emperor. The ministers cannot refuse, and they dare not refuse!
When he thought of this, Yang Shiqi made up his mind, and a light flashed in his eyes.
He turned to look at his wife Yan, with soft eyes and said: "I am already old and can't wait for the next ten years."
"So I have to seize this opportunity, but I'm afraid that it will implicate you and my family back home!"
This is Yang Shiqi’s real concern!
It is not that he has no nephews, but he has been kept in his hometown in Ji'an and taught by the elders of the clan.
The Yang family in Ji'an also developed into a local scholar because of Yang Shiqi's rise to the top, and his family tradition was pretty good.
But once Yang Shiqi takes over this job, he will definitely become the target of public criticism, and his family and relatives will definitely be implicated!
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Mrs. Yan stopped trying to persuade him.
"Now that you've thought about it, let's go ahead and do it!"
"You and I are one and the same, how can we be involved? The Yang family in Ji'an also prospered because of you. If it declines because of you, it is also reasonable, so don't have any worries!"
This is Yan, Yan who will always support and understand Yang Shiqi!
Yang Shiqi's eyes were red and he hugged Yan into his arms.
"I will definitely succeed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Shiqi turned around and left. He wanted to enter the palace overnight and tell the prince his choice.
Yan looked at his back and didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
"Bah, you are so old, you are really shameless!"
Half an hour later, Yang Shiqi successfully met the unhappy prince.
Zhu Gaoxu was studying new postures with Concubine Wei and Concubine Guo when he was suddenly interrupted by Yang Shiqi. It was strange that he was in a good mood.
"I'm talking about Husky, can't you wait until tomorrow to talk about anything?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I am willing to implement the idea of dividing a small family into an entire family and seek welfare for all people in the world!"
Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu, who was originally lazy, immediately sat up straight.
"Have you really decided?"
"I will never regret it!"
"very good!"
Zhu Gaoxu laughed, then ordered someone to fetch two things and handed them to Yang Shiqi.
Yang Shiqi was the first to look at the first letter. It was an imperial edict. The imperial court would confer the title of Lady Yan as the Imperial Lady of the Third Grade, or should be called a "Third Grade Lady".
Seeing this edict, Yang Shiqi burst into tears instantly.
With this imperial edict, he was finally worthy of Yan's silent dedication and support over the years.
"Don't rush to be happy yet, read the other impeachment memorial!"
Hearing this, Yang Shiqi's expression changed. He hurriedly opened it and looked as pale as paper.
Because this impeachment memorial was written by the local censor to impeach his eldest son Yang Ji for tyrannizing the countryside, taking advantage of his power to do evil, and committing lawlessness!
Seeing these contents, Yang Shiqi felt like he was struck by thunder, and his whole body became a little unsteady.
"Don't worry, I have already solved this matter for you."
"Fortunately, it was discovered early, so your son hasn't been involved in human life yet, but he is just a bit arrogant and domineering."
"I have already ordered people to appease the local people. The apology that needs to be made and the apology that needs to be made are all made in your name, Yang Shiqi. This can be considered as a remedial measure."
"Your useless son was also thrown into the custody of Nie Xing. I hope he can find his way back, otherwise he will have no choice but to become a rich man!"
Hearing this, Yang Shiqi suddenly broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly knelt down to apologize.
so close!
What a risk!
If he chooses to serve and return home!
I'm afraid that as soon as he returns to his hometown, the government will come to arrest him!
This prince is really impeccable in his actions and will not give anyone a chance to refuse!
"I failed to teach my son well, please forgive me!"
"It's just some small things. If these small things are not dealt with in time, they will be used by others to criticize you!"
Zhu Gaoxu stepped forward and helped Yang Shiqi up.
"Now your worries and hidden dangers are gone!"
"I hope you can free your hands and do it. You must win this war for me!"
"The Ming Dynasty in the future will be the world of our monarchs and ministers. Whether the Ming Dynasty in the future will prosper or not will also rest on your shoulders!"
Yang Shiqi's blood boiled and his heart surged.
"I will not disappoint His Highness!"
