If you don't work hard to make money for the court, you will use the guise of being a loyal minister to attack the prince and ruin the Ming Dynasty first and then finish it. This is your ultimate goal!

"Adjourn the meeting! I am too lazy to talk nonsense with you people who are just eating corpses. Who is right and wrong today will be judged by future generations!"

When I control the public opinion, I can write whatever I want, and publish a few more bound volumes, and I will piss you old people off to death!

Seeing that the prince was indifferent, Lin Yuji had no other choice but to resort to the last resort, trying to force the prince to give in: "If your highness cannot take back his life, I will smash my head against this pillar to death to put things in perspective!"

The prince is just young, but a group of veteran ministers cannot control him. He has argued many times and failed repeatedly. It is really embarrassing to spread the word. No matter what means are used, he must change his mind.

Yaoji, who had already stood up, could only turn his head when he heard such a decisive "porcelain-touching plan", glanced at it indifferently, and then ordered Yang Jinchao: "When you enter the court, let someone record that this person intentionally damaged the palace objects. If it becomes a fact." , remember to send someone to ask for compensation from his family!"

stop?

impossible!

Do you like bumping or not?

What kind of honest loyal minister?

He's just a rogue old man!

If you feel that you are a bit lonely, you can invite seven other people to do it together and see if you can time-travel!

Do you want to use this trick to force me? You are so whimsical!

This palace is not the one of Zhengde, Jiajing, Wanli, or the one who blames others!

You don't have a heart of stone, not to mention the emperor, you can't even sit firmly in the position of prince, you have to be beaten directly by these dogs!

If you don't hit me to death today, I will look down on you and from now on I will make you a "talking minister" with a superior official position!

The logic of Yaoji is very simple. Get rid of all the disobedient people, and the rest will naturally be obedient people.

Never say such words as the upright man Hao Hao Tangtang, that is for the emperor who is kind-hearted.

If you really plan to deal with them and adopt an organized and planned implementation strategy, then...

Ask the Mongols, if some Han people were not left to pay food and taxes for themselves, there would never be a single Han Chinese in the land of China!

The Tangxiang people who once dominated the Hetao area were completely wiped out by the Mongolian army's scimitars!

So as long as the knife is fast, there is no need to worry about too many heads!

Tens of millions of people, killing them is just like playing!

Yaoji, who aspires to become the emperor of the ages, certainly cannot do this, especially when dealing with certain upright officials.

Sometimes you don’t need a knife, maybe the effect will be better!

The prince's explicit remarks directly angered Shang Zhouzuo. No matter what the prince ordered, he would lash out at this unreasonable person: "I have all been ordered by your majesty to serve the court with loyalty and righteousness, as evidenced by the sun and the moon! His Highness's sudden increase in business taxes is unkind; his heavy use of factory guards is unjust; his unauthorized alteration of court uniforms is impolite; his forced expropriation of land is unwise; his extensive production of net bags is unbelief. It goes against the principles of the Five Constant Rules. Anyone who loses benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trust will be held accountable by everyone in the world! His Highness did not listen to the recommendations of his ministers and others, insisted on going his own way, and arbitrarily decided the affairs of the government. How could it be the behavior of a benevolent king? How could he be compared with Emperor Hui of the Jin Dynasty and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty? , Song Huizong, what’s the difference?”

Yaoji simply translated the nonsense that this guy put out. In short, if you dare not listen to us, you little brat, you are a fool! We are going to scold you! We were right before, we are right now, we will be right in the future, and we will always be right! If you don't do what we say, you are wrong and you will be attacked by a group!

Liu Zunxian seemed to feel that the attack firepower was not enough, so he followed up with Shang Zhou Zuo: "Now that the trouble of rogue bandits has been eliminated, and the country has calmed down, the imperial court should restore order and cultivate students. However, His Highness the Crown Prince does not correct his ways and lacks virtue. Losing one's ambition by playing with things, misusing divine grace, and making all kinds of government orders without knowing the meaning, just like Xia Jie and Shang Zhou, acting in the opposite direction, will surely make thousands of people suffer miserably! If Your Highness does not learn from the pain and knows how to return from the lost way, it is difficult to avoid the anger of God and the resentment of people, and suffer unreasonable disasters!"

If the first three emperors cannot make you repent, then you will have no choice but to move closer to the cruel and unkind Xia Jie and Shang Zhou. At the end of the day, if admonishment doesn't work, then there will be a curse, and there will always be a trick that works.

If a child with a yellow mouth cannot follow the good deeds and accept the teachings with an open mind, and insists on being an enemy of all the ministers and fighting against each other, if this continues, he will definitely be punished by God!

Lin Yuji, who had broken the jar, thought of a strong medicine. When he saw the prince walking away, he suddenly shouted loudly: "Your Highness feels that his ability is too low to govern the country, so he should give up the responsibility of supervising the country to his other heirs! "

If the younger emperor's third son, fourth son, or even the fifth emperor's son were replaced, the ministers would be able to make targeted decisions. It would not be as thankless as it is now, and would be plotted by the prince.

As soon as this statement came out, the civil and military officials of the entire court were shocked. It was an unheard-of move for the prince to abdicate the position of supervising the country, and it was not in line with the Ming Dynasty's tradition of "establishing the elder rather than the younger".

The "national dispute" during the Wanli period was that the ministers did not hesitate to fight for a long time in order to dissuade Shenzong from appointing Zhu Changxun as the crown prince.

Zhu Changluo, who was established as the prince, lived for less than a month. Then his son ascended the throne and began the "Apocalypse" reign.

Lin Yuji actually dared to say such rebellious and unethical words as "abolition of the elders and the establishment of the young". His heart was really deserving of punishment, and a hundred deaths would not be able to atone for his crime.

After Yaoji heard this, he stopped and turned around and asked: "Is this what Tu Qiong Dagger saw? As a prince, I am the superintendent of the country under the orders of my father. I will never listen to a few words of idle people, and I will be betrayed by him." Left and right, and then invaded the foundation of Yao Kingdom! Zhen Shu, deceiving the emperor, what crime should she commit? "

I just said I hit a wall, but I regretted it, and now I want to cause trouble again. This ability of jumping up and down is really unparalleled. Even the chief assistant can't compare with you. You really know how to steal the show!

Zhen Shu, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, while feeling sorry for Lin Yuji, reported the truth to the prince: "The main criminal abandoned the city (beheaded) or punished (Ling Chi), and his family members were sent to the army as slaves, and they were guarding the border and were not allowed to return!"

If the emperor is strong and has great power, it is also possible to kill the three rebellious ministers. It seems that it is not necessary yet.

Whether the crime of "abolish the elder and establish the young" is serious or light depends on how the prince punishes the former Minister of Rites.

A proud smile appeared on Yaoji's lips, and he slightly changed the verdict according to his own wishes: "Lin Aiqing's remarks are highly suspected of causing trouble for the government, but I have always been kind-hearted and magnanimous, and cannot bear to severely punish disobedient ministers. So I won't The imperial staff will be with you, let alone send you to jail! Zhen Shu, the principal criminal and the male family members are sent to Ye County, Shandong Province to mine, and the female family members aged between five and forty are sent to the Jiaofang Division! In memory of her past achievements, I will reward the Lin Mansion Let each of the men eat fifty fried locusts every day, so that they can dig mines and have enough strength!"

If you go against me, I will send your daughter, your niece, and your granddaughter to a good place to be trained, and then make money for me. If you want to sleep with a woman from the minister's family, you will have to do whatever you want in one night. Ten taels of silver, right?

Ah~hahahaha...

"you……"

When Lin Yuji heard this result, he was so furious that he fell to the ground without even taking a breath and passed out.

"Shang Aiqing is suspected of slandering me, and Liu Aiqing even deliberately cursed me. His intentions are sinister, and his heart is worthy of death! I regard these two people's crimes as equal to Lin Yuji. Does the Censor of Zuodu have any objections?"

Out of sympathy for his colleagues, Zhong Qian, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was embarrassed to agree with the prince's point of view: "Your Highness, these two people may be confused for a moment, or even speak indiscriminately. I hope Your Highness will calm down!"

Zhong Yan also secretly slandered Shang Zhou Zuo and Liu Zunxian, and he really spoke nonsense regardless of the occasion.

This matter only started because of court clothes and nails, and now that it has reached this point, it is already irreversible.

The weather is hot, so it is reasonable for the prince to improve his court clothes and consider the feelings of his ministers.

Nail trimming is optional, and it won't be a problem if it's discussed patiently and patiently.

The chief minister and the cabinet have already shunned his influence and stopped making efforts. Why do you insist on pursuing it?

Yaoji snorted and asked sternly: "Calm down your anger? The ministers have said all the things they shouldn't have said, and you still plan to ask me to calm down? I ask you if you have any objections?!!!"

When these two people criticized the prince just now, they spoke so loudly that it was difficult for the officials not to hear clearly.

Now the prince and the chief minister seem to have become one, and some people from the Qi Qing and Six Ministries are openly confronting the prince.

The rest of the civil servants wanted to protect themselves wisely and did not want to be born into it, while the generals and nobles would naturally turn to the prince.

Zhong Yan knew that it was difficult to push the matter aside, and he could not continue to delay it. In desperation, he had no choice but to say: "My lord... I have no objection!"

What puzzled Zuodu Yushi was that this was originally a good thing that benefited the ministers, but because some people had different political opinions and made a fuss out of a molehill, it gradually turned into a farce in which the prince and the courtiers attacked each other, which was almost like the " The struggle over national origin."

When Shang Zhou Zuo heard about his fate, he couldn't help but raised his head and laughed wildly: "I have fostered treacherous ministers, punished upright people, confused right and wrong, and forgotten my ancestors. My Ming Dynasty is over, and it will fall soon, hahahaha~!"

Xue Guoguan stared at the other party with a sullen expression. The "treacherous minister" in Shang Zhouzuo's mouth clearly meant himself. If he hadn't taken into account that his lax words would make the already clear situation confusing, he would have already participated in the war of words.

Yao Ji looked at this arrogant man, sneered with his hands behind his back and said: "It is not up to you to decide whether the Ming Dynasty will end. Since I have been in charge of the country, I have attached great importance to the people and the maintenance of the country. If you are destined, I will We will see the day of ZTE! By the way, Shang Aiqing is from Zhejiang, so he naturally does not support the increase in commercial taxes. He calls it the prince's unkindness! As long as the commercial taxes can continue to be lowered, even if Shang Aiqing has nothing to do, let those businessmen give you It is not difficult for the young master to find a well-paying job and earn thousands of taels of silver a year. Shang Aiqing can still consider himself an upright official. This strategy of building plank roads and crossing Chencang secretly is really clever. I admire him very much. There is no better way to be an official than this!"

This kind of thing has happened in all dynasties, and it is not the only one left in the Great Dynasty. Zuo of Shang and Zhou Dynasties did not do it, but it does not mean that others did not do it.

Zhou Zuo of Shang Dynasty was so angry that he didn't care about the courtesy of his ministers: "This is really nonsense. Since I became an official..."
