Wei Guangwei's face turned dark, and he immediately pointed his finger at Bi Ziyan, but then he gritted his teeth and put it down. He had to hold his hands and said to other cabinet ministers: "I'm not feeling well, please leave first!"
Wei Guangwei suddenly felt that Bi Ziyan was disgusting. He was very sharp-tongued and his words were very to the point. He was actually forced to admit that he did not want to reform commercial taxation.
Wei Guangwei decided not to talk to Bi Ziyan as much as possible in the future, and he would avoid it if possible, and thought to himself: "When Fang Congzhe was in charge of the cabinet, I never found his surname Bi to be so hateful!"
With that said, Wei Guangwei really left here.
Bi Ziyan then said: "But how can we block the mouth of the world? The mouth of the people is better than the river! As for Chongwen Temple and Dongchang, they only care about those who criticize the emperor and father, but not those who criticize the ministers. , it’s better not to ban people from all over the world from criticizing ministers. This will really block the way of speech in the world and is not conducive to the long-term stability of the country."
Xu Guangqi said nothing and only glanced at Han Xu.
"You think I'm redundant?"
Han Xu understood immediately and was particularly embarrassed for a moment.
But Han Xu thought that although he was still the second assistant, he did not have as many opportunities to get along with His Majesty as Xu Guangqi. If Xu Guangqi made a few slanderous remarks against His Majesty because of his lack of cooperation, he might still be left in a miserable state. And there was no need for him to participate in the reform of these three people. It would be of no use to him if he offended the people in the world, and would get a bad reputation or even a bad end. So he stood up and said: "I suddenly feel a headache, so I will resign first. Thank you for your hard work." Lords."
Xu Guangqi was the first to bid farewell to Han Xu: "Mr. Han, go slowly!"
Han Xuqiang smiled, feeling really uncomfortable.
At this time, Wei Guangwei turned around and saw Han Xu.
For a moment, Wei Guangwei couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. He didn't expect that Han Xu would also leave the cabinet after him.
When Han Xu saw Wei Guangwei in front of him, he was also filled with emotion.
Both of them couldn't help but find that since Fang Congzhe disappeared, they were no longer even qualified to participate in cabinet voting and drafting resolutions, and the real power seemed to fall only in the hands of Yuan, Xu, and Bi.
Neither of them expected that Fang Congzhe's last act would cause both of them to lose their power.
Here, only Yuan Keli, Xu Guangqi, and Bi Ziyan were left in the cabinet. Suddenly, a lot of sunlight came in due to the sudden dispersion of clouds, and it became much brighter.
The three of them couldn't help but smile at each other because the dark cabinet suddenly became bright and clear. In addition, Han Xu and Wei Guangwei were gone.
Xu Guangqi said first at this time: "There is nothing we can do to deal with the world's material debate. Whether they are civil and military officials or scholars and merchants, if they really want to incite the people of the world to resist commercial taxes and discuss state affairs, they will definitely be in brothels!
Because these places are indeed favorite places for dignitaries, especially scholars!
Therefore, in order to increase the population of the world and prevent Han women from being bought and sold at will or even forced to sell silver due to the prevalence of prostitution, we should ask Your Majesty to issue an edict to prohibit the establishment of brothels or even the use of prostitutes in China. ! "
"If they do this, most of the time they will just criticize each other at home with a few friends, or write in personal notes. Naturally, this will not become a trend. Of course, by prohibiting the organization and participation in brothels, it is not just this. A little benefit;
The more advantage is that it shifts the world's public opinion to whether the court should allow women to sell their virginity, and whether scholars should corrupt the public morals by engaging in prostitution. The princes who have served as local officials must know better than Xu. If a sensational big news happens in a certain place, except for those who are personally affected by it, they will always pay attention to it. When new big news comes, people on the outside will forget or ignore the news that has not been completely resolved before. Regarding the world's political debate, what we should be concerned about is whether the majority of the people on the outside will continue to seize this matter to oppose the court! To avoid causing greater trouble! As long as most of the scholars and people do not get involved, Yu Ze will naturally be easy to deal with. If they only deal with a few senior ones, they will be honest. "
Xu Guangqi continued.
Both Yuan Keli and Bi Ziyan were local officials, so they naturally understand that when a hot topic of public opinion occurs in one place, as long as another hot topic of public opinion appears, the previous hot topic will indeed be forgotten.
Therefore, Yuan Keli said after hearing this: "Then what should we do! The world's scholars are naturally romantic and do not cultivate civil and military skills. It is time to take care of it. By the way, it will also allow more Han women to get married and have children in a down-to-earth manner instead of using sex as a means of sex. Taking profits as a shortcut to getting rich will corrupt the customs of the world and be detrimental to the long-term stability of the country!"
So, next, Yuan Ke immediately submitted a memorial requesting that the opening of brothels and brothels and the establishment of prostitutes in Central China be prohibited.
"According to what he played, the vote was immediately approved. The Department of Etiquette and Education was changed to the Department of Etiquette and Music and the Department of Weddings. The Department of Etiquette and Music is responsible for managing and training people who are good at musical instruments, singing, dancing and even composing poetry and music to serve major ceremonies. , and the Marriage Office is responsible for registering the marriages of scholars and people all over the world, and organizing the marriage of women from the Jiaofang Division who cannot play musical instruments, sing, dance, and have no talent for learning. In addition, they accept the registration of all unmarried women of the Han family who have no parents or elders. The company organizes blind dates to increase the number of married couples in the world, making it easier for the number of Han people in the world to increase!
Nowadays, there is a great need to immigrate Han people to enrich the newly opened territories everywhere. We must find ways to increase the number of Han people!
The number of people is very important to the strength of a country! When the Five Hus invaded China, it was because there were not enough Han people in the north and too many barbarians!
In addition, the Imperial Procuratorate, the Ministry of Rites, the Imperial College, and the provincial academic envoys strictly controlled the social atmosphere, and promulgated this imperial edict in various government offices and schools, telling bureaucrats and scholars to devote themselves to studying arts and martial arts instead of being obsessed with fireworks and willows. Lane, not only ruins one's own body, but also ruins the family style! "
Xu Guangqi is now the only cabinet minister who is required by Zhu Youxiao to enter and leave the Daming Garden every day.
Therefore, Yuan Keli's memorial was brought in by Xu Guangqi.
Zhu Youxiao also asked Xu Guangqi to draft the memorial and asked Wei Zhongxian to approve it. Moreover, he himself said a few more words to Xu Guangqi.
The ban on anyone organizing and participating in prostitution in two capitals and thirteen provinces was ostensibly proposed by Xu Guangqi, and adopted and reported by Yuan Keli. In fact, it was Zhu Youxiao who wanted to increase the number of Han people and correct society. In order to curb the phenomenon of too many Han women being abducted, Xu Guangqi was instructed to do this when Xu Guangqi was discussing knowledge.
Now, after Zhu Youxiao continued to give instructions, Xu Guangqi naturally followed the order and voted according to Zhu Youxiao's wishes.
Not long after, a formal edict was formed prohibiting the organization and participation in prostitution in two capitals and thirteen provinces, and the edict was quickly announced to all government offices and schools.
…
"My lords, everyone knows that the treacherous minister Yuan Keli slaughtered the clan and abused power and disrupted the government! How can we allow this treacherous minister to harm the court? Tong proposed that everyone go to Yuxiang Pavilion tonight to discuss and denounce this traitorous act. I don't know. how about?"
At this time, Tong Kuixing, a student at the Imperial College, was inviting a group of students to go to a brothel called Yuxiang Pavilion to discuss Yuan Keli's massacre of the clan and abuse of power and government.
All the supervisors also wanted to use this as an excuse to go to Yuxiang Pavilion together to show the ladies of Yuxiang Pavilion that they were upright and promising scholars who pointed out the evils of the times, so they ordered them to respond.
"Very good! Fei has long wanted to use wine to scold Yuan Keri for being such a powerful traitor. Now he has caused serious losses to me, a merchant gentry, and I wish I could eat him alive!"
"The same goes for Qian! You should scold Yuan Keli for being a powerful traitor!"
…
But at this time, the minister came to the Imperial College, and after gathering all the officials, supervisors, and students of the Imperial College, he read out an imperial edict prohibiting visiting brothels, organizing and participating in prostitution in two capitals and thirteen provinces.
"It is forbidden to go to brothels and brothels, and it is forbidden to organize and participate in prostitution? Why did the imperial court suddenly implement this decree when nothing happened! Does it want to force us to become monks, or does it want us to simply cut off our descendants and become eunuchs in the palace?!"
After learning about this imperial edict, the civil servants and supervisors of the Imperial College became indignant. They all forgot about their previous plans to denounce Yuan Keli and started discussing the matter excitedly.
These romantic scholars regarded going to brothels as a necessity in their daily lives, so they naturally took it very seriously.
Now the imperial court does not allow them to go, and strictly requires them to work hard to learn martial arts. They find it difficult to accept it. They are thinking about how to get the imperial court to take back their orders, and they have no time to care about business taxes.
