The civil servants all over the world received the same teachings from the saints, but they were never monolithic.

Now in the eyes of the "party leader": the lucky ministers who go into battle lightly, the "sycophant ministers" who are in the hands of the emperor, and the important ministers who hope to get on the new emperor's ship and make achievements and be famous forever, so they came out one after another to invite the emperor to welcome Emperor Jing into the temple and let Yu Qian accompany him Sacrifice.

The legal principles of vassal succession are more stable, and Confucianism is not all rubbish. Loyalty to the emperor and the country, and honesty and integrity are virtues that should be praised.

The most important thing is: the door of the Imperial Ancestral Temple will be opened, and civil servants can enter!

So under Yang Tinghe's incredible eyes, Mao Ji also took a deep breath and joined the queue, but what he said was something else: "Your Majesty! If this is to be done, the first thing is to strictly instruct all parties not to make rash provocations! Your Majesty has already There are already plans to reform to strengthen the Ming Dynasty and recreate the Ming Dynasty. If we are worthy of enjoying the Ancestral Temple again, the military ministers are greedy for merit and must be on guard against it!"

The words "If it's like this" fully reflect his attitude, but the words he said afterward can't just be heard like this.

So Fei Hong and others trembled.

Military ministers are a group that is naturally closer to the Imperial Ancestral Temple than civil servants. Can we prevent them from being greedy for service and death?

The meaning of Mao Ji's words is: let those generals who dare to fight and be able to fight tilt their horses' heads to the southeast and stare inwards with greedy eyes.

It was an April day in the world, and the imperial study room was very warm, but Mao Ji's words made them feel the cold murderous intent coming from all corners of the northwest.

The momentum of the Ming Dynasty's new laws is unstoppable, but there must be a huge group of people in the court and local governments who are unwilling to give up the benefits.

They are the people who deserve to be killed because they have received the teachings of the saints in vain, are not sincere in their intentions, have no moral integrity, cannot govern the country and bring peace to the world, and only know how to covet the country and the family!

They deserve the credit!

If Zong Ma Li Dao gets this credit, the Ming Dynasty will receive several times more grain.

After the troops are well-prepared, there will never be a shortage of opportunities to make meritorious deeds in the next step!

They will get red eyes!

"Your Majesty!" Yang Tinghe asked with a trembling voice, "Where are the military settlements? What should we do with the military settlements? Once their power is established, how can we use military settlements again after the official and civilian fields are established? If the judges and gentry do not join forces with the rebels when the new law is implemented, what will happen? how?"

He seemed to be expressing concerns, but he had already said that "new laws are being enforced" and "gentry will not be judged", and he did not deny the premise: welcoming Yu Qian into the temple.

Whoever dissuades this is crazy!

The situation that now stands before the emperors and ministers of the Ming Dynasty is: How to make the country rich is easy to solve, it only depends on whether the Confucian disciples still have conscience.

The young emperor lamented that he had to hold back this "hot-blooded middle-aged man" for the sake of the overall situation. He expressed his disappointment that the Confucian disciples were so greedy that the fertile land of the Ming Dynasty gradually disappeared and the money became increasingly scarce.

It doesn't matter if His Majesty is disappointed with the Confucian disciples. Can he suddenly push them down and start over?

However, since His Majesty has decided to reform and strengthen the country, will today be the starting point for Xinxue to come to the forefront?

If they still stick to the old ways, who will be the first to be sacrificed?

This is a situation where you can die as a fellow Taoist but not as a poor Taoist. As long as you can still sit in the imperial study room and formulate new rules with His Majesty, you will not lose.

Yang Tinghe, the "party leader" of the reform faction, clearly still remembers: His Majesty said that as long as the ministers bring more benefits to the Ming Dynasty than they receive.

Is it important to be as honest as Yu Qian? Your Majesty will not force anything. He values ​​​​the method of "encouragement".

It's also an incentive now.

Does Yang Tinghe want to enter the Ancestral Temple? He could think of it in his bones, he just didn't dare to think about it.

Now, he also knows that he doesn't deserve to think about it.

Unless...unless...he really becomes the party leader!

Fei Hong and the others were struggling.

If the taxes and servitude really started to move, it would be too painful to hit their family property with this knife.

However, they suddenly discovered that in the face of this unstoppable trend, the most useful layer of protection for them was their status of "participating in national policy meetings."

We drink from the golden cup together, and some things can be forgotten.

As long as I can create more wealth for Ming Dynasty in the future...

Fei Hong looked at Yang Tinghe with complicated emotions: After all, you still have a good son and a good student.

By accident, you become the leader of the reformist party, so naturally you can only succeed.

Mao Ji and You raised a new problem, and there are naturally ways to solve this problem...

He stood up and knelt down and said: "I think it is time to discuss the steps of the new law at the same time as how to set up the net. The old minister has been summoned by your majesty to stand in the pavilion again. I am willing to serve as a banner for the old-fashioned people and help the court implement slow-down tactics. The backbone of people with evil intentions. The old minister and Mr. Yang Ge have an old grudge, which is known to the whole world."

Yang Tinghe looked at him blankly.

Prince Ning dug up your ancestral grave. Do you really blame me so deeply?

Some people haven't understood what this means, such as Cui Yuan, Zhang Bi, Gu Dingchen, and the minister of Dali Temple and general affairs envoy among the nine ministers.

Fei Hong was already involved in the drama, staring at Yang Tinghe and saying: "With insufficient money, food and personnel, the Ming Dynasty's great army could not leave the old system of military camps, and all of them became recruits without worries! The new law was first established in the local area, with new benefits, and a dynasty with monarchs and ministers united. Up and down the hall, only by changing the old system of military garrison can there be no chaos in the army! Before that, if you want to suppress the military ministers and not let the greedy officials rush forward, the Ming Dynasty cannot continue to have civil strife! The new law will cause chaos, so we can only try to guide it. So Your Majesty will not have to hold your sword inward, and the people will not have to suffer military disasters!"

He looked at the emperor and said with a salute: "Lao Yang tried his best to reform the evils and actually sent his son to Guangdong to plunder people's wealth! I will impeach Yang Shen at a meeting in the future for disturbing the countryside, corrupting the etiquette system, and setting up the Guangzhou Prefecture to study government. If you don't care, you should demote him! Sun Ge Lao should second the proposal! Argue and argue in the court first, so that the situation in Guangdong will be exposed to the government and the public. The dispute between the old and new laws can start in the court. This dispute can be fought again and again, and it can be easily delayed. When the autumn grain harvest comes, there will be some gentry in Guangdong who cannot bear to be bullied and will dare to violate the national law. Chief Yan will generously invite Emperor Jing into the temple and invite Lord Zhongwu to accompany him to worship."

Sun Jiao:? ? ?

Everyone listened in stunned silence as Fei Hong, who had been keeping a low profile, was writing the script. The script was not over yet.

"The old minister has no way to argue under the great righteousness. Your Majesty has entrusted Yang Ge with the new law. It is appropriate to demote the old minister to be the governor of Sichuan to show the balance and make the world think that your majesty is cautious. If the new law of Guangdong was not implemented in all provinces before Jiajing five years ago, everything would still be there. There is room for change. Yang Ge Lao has a heavy responsibility, Zhang Fujing has a heavy responsibility, the veteran in Sichuan, and Sun Ge Lao in the center also have a heavy responsibility. Sun Ge Lao and Cui Zuojun have the status of honorary relatives, so they can also block Yang Ge Lao and not move the military camp first. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and you should have room for both left and right."

It was extremely quiet in the imperial study: the story of the center of the imperial court seemed to have another version.

The leader of the reform faction, Yang Tinghe, was from Sichuan.

After years of being conservative and tolerant, we drove away Liang Chu, drove away Guo Xun and Chen Jin, drove away Wang Shouren, drove away Fei Hong, and insisted on implementing new laws even before His Majesty ascended the throne!

Everyone remembers what happened more than a month before the new emperor ascended the throne. Tell the truth!

Jiang Bin, how cruel a person he is? If you say no, it’s gone.

Is it possible to read the old version of the Imperial Decree on Enthronement? All efforts were made to suppress imperial power and military power, and there were also many economic provisions!

Why does Fei Hong, the leader of the conservative party, want to be the governor-general of Sichuan?

Yang Tinghe is powerful!

Zhang Fujing is a new scholar. Without Yang Tinghe's guidance to His Majesty and without Yang Tinghe's recognition, how could he, Zhang Fujing, have such great authority in Guangdong? A sword given by the emperor killed so many people, and it also affected Guo Xun and Chen Jin?

Wasn't the only thing the emperor showed his strength in the court was that he stepped on Yang Tinghe at the court meeting? Didn't he express his wish at that time not to want to go to war?

Who started all the fighting that followed?

Everyone, even the Holy Emperor doesn’t want to do this.

If Yang Tinghe wasn't so powerful, why would His Majesty use Wang Shouren's strange trick of attending the Sutra Banquet?

If Yang Tinghe was not so powerful, why would Your Majesty make the daughter of the cabinet minister Sun Jiao your queen?

If it hadn't been for many parties to fight, the new law would not only be in Guangdong, but would have been rolled out across the country. Otherwise, let's take a closer look: How did Zhang Zilin go to the southeast with such momentum last year?

Yes, there are many decrees and many holy edicts, but they don’t seem to be talking about this.

But the story of the center is not about how it is told to the outside world?

Now there is a target, a sign: Qing Junzi!

But there has to be a leader for such a big thing, right?

Fei Hong stood up.

Cui Yuan was stunned: Is this the rank of top civil servants?

If Guo Xun knew about it, he would definitely doubt his life.

More than ten pairs of eyes looked at Yang Tinghe, including the emperor's eyes.

Yang Tinghe's eyes were a little distracted, and he vaguely saw Shang Yang who was torn apart by a chariot, and Wang Anshi who was expelled from Confucianism.

The hands of Zhang Bi and Gu Dingchen never stopped shaking: important officials in the central government conspired with the officials and gentry in the world.

From today on, I will put a ball in my mouth when sleeping to avoid talking in my sleep and leaking secrets.

Zhu Houcong stood up and said loudly: "Now is the time to decide the pattern of the next hundred years! Bring the wine!"

What does it mean to influence the whole body by pulling one hair? Why did Yang Shen suddenly become enthusiastic in Guangdong, and the court needed to consider setting up Yu Qian as a response?

We must stand on the moral high ground from an ideological level.

But that's not enough. In the face of a huge interest group, there must be enough layout to differentiate and set up situations, and at the same time prevent certain forces from getting out of control.

The army really needs to tie up ropes. Ganzhou just mutinied.

Among the official fields, there are naturally some fields belonging to military attachés. How should we control the proportion?

Fei Hong gave an idea to solve the problem: the civil servants were conservative, the imperial party was suppressed, and Yang Tinghe was able to put the students into the ceremonial department and set it up as an imperial study room!

How many people were qualified to witness the backstabbing in the lobby of the Ministry of Justice? Jiang Bin, an outsider, has already dried up in pieces, and Xie Changjie, the chief historian of His Majesty's residence, is all a member of Mr. Yang Ge!

So there is a lot of room for maneuver.

Your Majesty, it’s so lonely when you’re fishing alone, let’s all throw the pole together!



Wine was brought to the royal study room three times.

The first time, I drank from the golden cup with you.

The second time, after Southeast killed officials, both Yang Tinghe and Zhang Zilin invited themselves to Southeast to take charge of the overall situation.

The third time is today.

I don’t know why, but Li Chongsi actually felt that there was something about making an alliance based on blood...

Zhu Houcong said solemnly: "I lament that the teachings of sages have been forgotten by most scholars in the world. Unexpectedly, all the wise ministers are around me! The invitations of Wei Zhong, Fu Rui, and Dehua, and the opinions of all the ministers, really make me feel Take comfort."

Seventeen Arhats: ...Your Majesty, you know that the actual process is not like this.

"I know that the task is long and the road is long, and everything will not be smooth sailing. But as long as the emperor and ministers are united in the imperial study, the new chapter of the Ming Dynasty will have the reputation of all your ministers! With the help of all your ministers, I will be able to rebuild the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty. All our descendants will find its shade!”

What Zhu Houcong gave was a guarantee.

Thinking of their status as civil servants, Zhang Bi and Gu Dingchen wrote down this sentence in their daily notes.

The emperor is ruthless, but it depends on what happens in the future.

But at this moment, the ministers had no way out. The emperor may not be able to kill all the scholars in the world, but he can slow down or even give up some ideas to kill those who are "greedy for the country, orderly family, and good for their children" who are unwilling to assist the wise emperor.

The National Policy Conference in the Royal Study Room... is really wonderful. New laws are being studied and negotiated all the time, and the power to formulate new rules and set up situations is really wonderful.

So there is this situation.

"Mr. Yang Ge, I love you as your commander-in-chief and your son as your vanguard. I'm going to have to work hard for you."

Seeing His Majesty holding the cup to him, Yang Tinghe felt mixed emotions.

I wanted to reform the bad things and make new ones, but in fact I only wanted to reform a little bit, I never thought of reforming so much.

The bitter wine enters the throat and the heart aches, and the party leader needs to be an old actor.

From tomorrow on, be a strong person.

Change the law, kill people, and dominate the world.

From tomorrow onwards, care about the fields and the domestic slaves.

I have a new method, whether you can do it or not, you will die.

"Mr. Fei Ge, there are many talented people in the Fei family of Qianshan. It is really a blessing to summon you to return to the court. Mr. Ge has endured the humiliation and bear the burden, but sooner or later the people of the world will know the good name of Gong. When I am in my position, it seems that Gong's injustice will not appear."

Fei Hong sighed silently in his heart: With Yang Tinghe at the forefront, Fei Hong has been able to make many good friends in the past few years.

He holds the key to the success or failure of the overall situation, just to avoid being sacrificed to Qianshan Fei.

Whether it's injustice or not, I just walked back and forth and took it lightly.

Besides, this emperor does have a different demeanor.

"My ancestors were entrusted by Marquis Zhuge Wu with the affairs of Ji Han, and they only wanted to follow the example of the Prime Minister and devote themselves to death. I am also the same. I was summoned by your Majesty. I know your Majesty's aspirations and know the difficulties in the world. How can I endure the humiliation and bear the burden? It is a solid wish. .”

Speaking carelessly, it seems that Fei's family in Qianshan doesn't have many acres of land.

But everyone is doing big things and won’t care about these details.

"Cui Zuojun has wasted half his life, and he can no longer hide his clumsiness. Major events in the capital camp require loyalty from relatives, and love your relatives with more care."

"...I will do my best."

"Since Mr. Sun Ge is the head of the country, the matter of the emperor's step-son has almost been settled. From now on, Mr. Ge and Fei Qing should pay more attention to the movements of the vassals."

Sun Jiao understood: "Dare you disobey your orders?"

He is in the center and Fei Hong is there, so what if Fei Hong fakes it and really does it?

This is another enchantment formation: Sun Jiao is the head of the country, and he is on the emperor's side, so of course Fei Hong is on the emperor's side, and the only bad guy is Yang Tinghe.

Don't collude with the vassal king to rebel, build more momentum to clear the emperor's side, and do your best to overthrow the reform party!

Zhu Houcong looked at Yan Song again.

Thoughtful, smart, and easy to use.

He really didn't expect that Yan Song would mention this matter at this time and give him an extremely sharp moral sword.

He just glanced at him and smiled, and then raised his glass to everyone: "My dear friends! Today, you will be able to see the new situation in the Ming Dynasty. From tomorrow on, I will not be here. I don’t want to say too much in court, but I don’t want to say too much in state affairs. But in the royal study, there will always be candid discussions and careful arrangements. Just as I have made it clear to you about the draft, although I have many ideas, I will never be arbitrary. From now on, I will also We need all your advice and suggestions to improve it and slow down its implementation."

The Seventeen Arhats raised their glasses together with mixed emotions.

Yes, there is also this reason.

That "Draft of the Ming Dynasty's Financial and Taxation System", after more than a month of study and discussion, no one doubted this anymore.

This set of things was what he came up with.

Maybe there are really talented people in this world? And he is still the emperor.

Unless the Zhu family is overthrown, they cannot win.

In this case, since His Majesty has issued the boat tickets, we can only sit on them and perform their duties.

Yang Tinghe put down his wine glass and sighed, with a wry smile on his face: "Your Majesty, Rong Chen first writes a letter home to Quan Zi."

The imperial study room was suddenly filled with happy air.
