"Your Majesty, it's already six o'clock in the morning. All the ministers have been kneeling at the gate of the palace all night. Are you really not going to go to court?" Under Feng Lin's dangerous gaze, Chen Gui, the new chief eunuch who has been in office for more than a month, He whispered, peeking at Feng Linye from time to time, looking trembling.
If he hadn't verified this man's loyalty long ago, Feng Linye would have ordered people to drag him out and chop him up.
Feng Linwen, who also stayed up all night, stretched out. I felt a little uneasy in my heart, but I calmed down again and my thoughts became clearer.
Wearing the 'Sima Liang' vest, the clone had already spent half a day and a night entering the Cheng Mansion.
No news has come back yet.
Because of the distance and to avoid being discovered, there was no continuous sharing of thoughts between Feng Linmo and the clone.
After all, mind sharing requires continuous consumption of true energy or true energy, and there will be a very obvious linkage of breath between the main body and the clone, making it easy for others to detect abnormalities.
And sometimes, no news comes back, which is also a kind of news in itself.
Thinking of this, Feng Linwen changed some of his original thoughts.
"Chen Gui! Ring the bell!" Feng Linwen said to Chen Gui after thinking about it for a while.
Chen Gui was stunned for a moment, then quickly left.
He was anxious, knowing that he would share the worries for his master, Feng Linwen. It's just that my IQ can't keep up, and I can't understand the gap in Feng Lin's chest at all.
The bells tolled nine times and the drums beat loudly.
The palace door was opened and the fire pits on both sides of the corridor were lit.
The officials who had been kneeling all night, although exhausted, were in high spirits and walked towards Huoli Palace in groups.
The first to go in front were not only the two ministers Gao Qiang and Zhao Kaicheng, but also some old guys who had not been involved in government affairs for many years. Some of them were even ministers when Si Zong was in power, although they had almost no power in their hands. , has quite a high reputation, and is usually the kind of existence that you don’t need to pay attention to, but is not easy to mess with.
As the bell rang, people from Wang En's family also hurried over, but they were separated from the group of ministers who had kneeled in front of the palace gate to invite the king to come to court. They were divided into two rows and ignored each other.
Above the main hall, all the ministers returned to their places.
Only the tall dragon chair was still empty.
After a long time, when everyone was getting impatient, and several veterans from three dynasties were feeling sleepy and uneasy standing, the eunuch summoned Lin Ye, the emperor of the current dynasty, and stepped on the cheers of many ministers. Step onto the dragon chair and sit on the supreme throne.
Before Feng Linwen could say anything, some old ministers rolled out of the crowd and knelt on the ground. While recounting the past scenes of assisting the successors and the late emperor, they accused Wang En of opening special laws and even piloting the implementation of new laws. This was forgetting his ancestors and causing harm to the country and the people.
"Your Majesty! Wang Taibao's move is tantamount to driving me away from the world. As for the breach of the embankment and the collapse of the road, it is already close at hand. The harm is now and the disaster will be in the future! Your Majesty! Your Majesty... We must not condone his wantonness and ignore his wolfish heart. I sincerely request your majesty to take back his orders and punish the king's Taibao, so as to ensure peace in the world and protect the common people at dawn! Your Majesty!" As soon as the old minister opened his mouth, the whole palace was filled with mourning. The sound of crying, endless sorrow.
Feng Linwen sat on the dragon chair with a cold expression, not wavering at all.
Looking at Wang En, whose figure was as straight as a spear, with an iron frame and no bend at all, Feng Linye stood up, walked down from the tall dragon chair, walked in front of the veteran of three dynasties, and put the white-haired man in front of him. The veteran helped him up hard.
"What the boss said is true, but...it's too strong!"
Letting go of the hand of the veteran minister who looked sad but had joy in his eyes, Feng Linwen turned around and walked to the middle of the steps towards the dragon chair. He stood there and looked at the ministers who gradually returned to silence in the hall.
"It has been more than six hundred years since I left the country, and I have been stationed in the Central Plains. I have been favored by heaven, benefiting the people, and stabilizing the world's livelihood. However, the laws of heaven are impermanent, and changes cannot be caused by human hearts."
"In recent years, the Dillon people in the north have become powerful. They often ride south and plunder the Central Plains to get a glimpse of our great territory. They covet wealth and have wild ambitions. There are barbarians in the south who refuse to accept the king's rule. They rise in power every year, and the army continues to conquer the south. In the land of Xinjiang, ten houses and nine empty houses have already been overwhelmed."
"There are also floods, droughts, and locust plagues... that persist all year round, causing the national treasury to be empty and causing serious losses. If the foundation is unstable, the country will be unstable."
Feng Linwen's eyes seemed to be glowing with light, and he stared at everyone with a strong gaze.
Although he never mentioned corrupt officials and rats taking over the country, nor did he say that local governments were oppressive and tyrannical, forcing the people to rebel. But his eyes, his attitude, and all his expressiveness exude these meanings, hiding these words behind what he said before.
"At this time, if I, Dali, still stick to the old system, covering my eyes and thinking that the world is safe, covering my ears and thinking that everything is peaceful, what is the difference between sitting back and waiting for death?" Feng Linye's voice roared through the entire hall, echoing in the hall. .
Most of the ministers just lowered their heads and could not see their expressions clearly.
Occasionally, one or two people raised their heads, all with sad expressions and contemptuous eyes. They did not hear Feng Linfu's deafening voice.
Those who are driven by the desire for profit will find it difficult to have reason in their minds.
"My ministers! I have asked Wang Taibao to perform a special act of kindness. This is actually to allow all the people in the world to have a path to heaven. Only in this way can the accumulated hostility in the mountains and rivers be resolved! I want to implement a new law in order to abolish the old abuses. Rejuvenate me, so that my descendants will be prosperous and prosperous." Feng Linwen sat back on the throne and looked at the ministers. Even in the face of the opposition of the ministers, he still had no intention of backing down.
Zhao Kaicheng looked around, his expression was rather arrogant, but he seemed to be filled with concern for the country and the people. He shouldered a heavy responsibility, stepped out from the crowd, and said directly to the emperor: "Your Majesty! Are you really going to violate the wishes of the ministers?" , and follow the law of the king's Taibao?"
Zhao Kaicheng's move had clear intentions and a firm attitude.
When Feng Linwen heard this, he didn't show any worry at all. Instead, he laughed loudly.
"Everyone! I, Zhao Mingxuan, will tell you today! Wang Taibao's reform is not a method of suffering and subjugating the country, but a method of making us prosperous and strong, and then standing on the top of all nations. If this method is implemented, I will fully respect it. , there is no excuse at all. You...should do the same!"
Feng Linwen's words not only made Wang En breathe a sigh of relief, but Zhao Kaicheng seemed to relax as well.
An old minister came out from the crowd, pointed at Feng Linyi's nose and yelled: "Hunjun! Hunjun! The world of Dali will be ruined in your hands sooner or later."
Feng Linwen did not punish him, but shouted: "Come here! This old man is tired, take him back and ask the imperial doctor to take good care of him."
Several eunuchs rushed into the palace, supported the old minister, and wanted to send him out of the palace.
However, the old minister struggled desperately and refused to retreat no matter what. Instead, he continued to act violently, pointed at Feng Linye and shouted loudly: "Faint Lord, you are going against the will of heaven, and you will be punished by heaven! If you die in these six hundred years, How can Da Li be worthy of the ancestors of your Zhao family?"
"The way of heaven? I am the emperor, and what I say is the will of heaven!"
He waved his long sleeves and looked domineering.
Looking around, he is incomparable in appearance.
In the main hall, there was a sudden burst of wailing, like a frying pan exploding and cold water suddenly poured into it.
"In the main hall, there are all my humerus ministers. How can I behave in such a disgraceful manner?"
"Where are the Imperial Guards on the left and right? Why don't I blast them out!"
