This time Zhu Houzhao really didn't have a whim, it was a decision. However, he did not expect that the voice of opposition would be so loud. A few days later, the cabinet was flooded with memorials, as well as Zhu Houzhao's imperial case.
Snap~!
Zhu Houzhao was afraid that the memorial would be slapped on the desk. He was looking for death. Did he bully me to the point of being bullied? Against you.
In fact, the ministers were forced to have no choice. The ministers in this era still had some integrity, at least they were not completely shameless. By the Jiajing Dynasty, or even the Tianqi and Wanli dynasties, what do you think of the ministers? manner?
He thought it would be nothing if he raised his head and thought about it, but he had revealed something big, and he didn't know who it was. The desperate people spread the news outside the palace. Good guy, the public resentment is really boiling. This time, even the people are not on Zhu Houzhao's side. This is the first time in the Ming Dynasty that he has played off and played big.
We are fine where we are at home, why should we move, what? Still going to the north? Isn't that going to die?
Yes, although Zhu Houzhao conquered the north in one battle, for the people of the Ming Dynasty who had been tortured for nearly a hundred years, they were still afraid of the enemy in the north. Whoever wants to go can go, anyway, we will not move!
Later, the commander of the Jin Yiwei sent Mou Bin into the palace.
"Your Majesty, the public opposition is very high, and most of the people are fearful and uneasy."
What's the meaning?
Listen, could this news be spread by Zhu Houzhao?
have to! He didn't run away, it was just the news that His Majesty asked the spies of Jin Yiwei to spread out deliberately.
Let’s try the reaction first. The reaction is very gratifying. Zhu Houzhao’s claws are numb.
Mou Bin couldn't see through His Majesty in front of him. He felt that facing the abyss, even if the trouble was so severe this time, His Majesty did not show any trouble. This showed that His Majesty had already made up his mind and might have a back-up plan. He knelt down quietly.
Little did he know that Zhu Houzhao was just stunned by the feedback.
"Okay, I understand. You can only act according to the plan. I have my own considerations." Zhu Houzhao ordered calmly.
Mou Bin accepted the order and resigned, thinking, as expected, Your Majesty, how can you hurry up, I am afraid that I will not be able to withstand it.
Not only him, but also the West Factory and the East Factory were in chaos. The news they dealt with every day made Fan Ting want to die. His Majesty didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to deal with it. What should he do? Just bear it.
Later, Yang Shen entered the palace. He was considered a good friend of Zhu Houzhao. This time, it was Yang Shen's idea. Young people are passionate, innovative, and will leave a lasting name in history. Zhu Houzhao hit it off with him and decided on this plan.
It can be seen from Yang Shen's life that he was a man of many talents and good at planning, but his cleverness was misled by his cleverness, and he ended up depressed.
Now, he has become good friends with today's man. It's a rare opportunity, and the key is that Zhu Houzhao doesn't have any airs. They are similar in age and have similar sexual interests... ahem, similar temperaments and personalities!
You should show your ambition and live up to your time.
As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Zhu Houzhao sulking with anger. He knew why and asked to see him.
When Zhu Houzhao saw him entering the palace, his face warmed up. He was indeed a good friend. He dared to meet him at this time, and he was not afraid of the censor impeaching you for bewitching the king, but the censor was the most annoying.
"Yong Xiu, are you playing this trick with me too?" The emperor used the word "I". Listen, this is not an ordinary relationship.
Liu Jin was envious on the sidelines, but it was just envy. He did not dare to be jealous, otherwise Zhu Houzhao would deal with him mercilessly.
Although Yang Shen knew that His Majesty did not like clichés, he was a minister and Zhu Houzhao was the emperor. Due to his generational background and his father's education, he still bowed in a decent manner, and then approached him with a playful smile.
Zhu Houzhao likes this one very much because he knows how to measure.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about these memorials?" Yang Shen said with a smile.
Zhu Houzhao nodded.
"It was a big deal that you and I decided on at the beginning, but now it seems that the opposition is too strong, and Daning will have no choice but to continue to restrain him after all." Zhu Houzhao deliberately expressed regret, but in fact he was looking at Yang Shen, wanting to hear his opinion.
Yang Shen was thoughtful, and when he heard this, he curled his lips towards the emperor, seeming to look down upon him.
I suck!
Liu Jin's eyes widened as he watched, and he coughed lightly to remind him not to be presumptuous.
Zhu Houzhao laughed at himself in his heart, it seems that this boy has seen through it.
Yang Shen said, "Your Majesty, the people are ignorant, and opposition is natural. They were born and raised here, and fallen leaves return to their roots. They came without a mouth. Although the people are ignorant, they should not be underestimated. As for the opposition, it is only for a while. After a period of time, it will naturally It has subsided, but I see that the greatest opposition is still in the court and among the gentry, but when it comes to giving up, Your Majesty, I think it is too early."
He talked eloquently and pointed out the problem directly.
Zhu Houzhao nodded and asked again, "Then how do you think we should deal with it?"
When he made this decision, he didn't expect that the subsequent response would be so severe. However, in the past few days, the response has been unexpected. Zhu Houzhao naturally found a way to solve this problem. For a man with nine lifetimes of experience, what kind of trouble is it? What does not exist, the experience of past dynasties, even modern socialism, and the experience of Western capitalism, is it enough? Is it enough?
He was annoyed, but it was just because this opposition made him feel that he had indulged the courtiers too much. The courtiers opened a dyeing workshop and started selling cloth, that's all.
"What goes above and below will lead to results." Yang Shen said four words calmly.
Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, isn't this setting an example? Aren’t the people unwilling to migrate?
Then set an example, are the court ministers enough? If it's not enough, then the kings, grandsons and nobles, is that enough?
Stay!
The royal nobles all took the initiative to ask to go, and the people saw it, and naturally someone would respond. Once the word spread, it was no longer a problem to move. Yang Shen was really talented, and it coincided with his ideas. Seeing him smiling at the corner of his mouth, he said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty must have already made up his mind, your Majesty is wise."
Zhu Houzhao's mouth twitched, you are a flatterer, why didn't you notice it before?
Liu Jin even blushed for him. This flattery was so harsh, but why did it feel so good? Even though he didn't see the emperor, he was secretly happy.
Zhu Houzhao was indeed happy. This is the benefit of smart people. Why did Yan Song gain power? Because he was smart enough to think what the emperor thought and said what the emperor wanted to say but couldn't.
What does it mean that the emperor wants the royal nobles to go to the bitter cold places in the north?
That would be mean and unkind, so he couldn't say this.
Yang Shen is not afraid. He is a foreign minister and he is young. Even if a young man speaks wrongly, it is still a matter of youth. At most, he will be said to be unstable. It will be more difficult to be an official in the future. But if Zhu Houzhao is not there, I am afraid that he will rise to the top in the future.
However, if these words were to get out, Yang Shen would be scolded to death in the circle of royal relatives and nobles. What are your intentions in estrangement from the Tian family?
Zhu Houzhao naturally would not let such a thing happen. After taking a look at Liu Jin, Liu Jin understood. When he went out later, he gave a vicious warning. If anyone dared to spread the word privately, hum~!
The people in the palace were as quiet as ice, and kept their mouths shut. Think of the maids and eunuchs who were punished, how miserable they were to die. Talk less and do more.
Later in the evening, Yang Shen resigned, and Zhu Houzhao was in a good mood. Yang Ting and the people over there couldn't move their hands, otherwise it would attract people's imagination. Liu Daxia and Jiao Fang's people over there couldn't move either. If they move, it means that this is what I mean. , where is Qingliu?
This is possible. They don't rely on both sides and go their own way. Liu Zizhang has made their reputation soaring recently. They will account for more than half of the non-impeachment memorial. It's just you, and you haven't run away.
Yan Song has been very depressed recently. He thought that the big shot he was dealing with was a ruthless character, but he didn't expect that he was a pustule with an ax and a snake's tail. Well, he should do whatever he needs to do.
But Zhu Houzhao has not forgotten him. This guy is a clean traitor. He is a good hand at stirring up troubles, and his methods are not bad. He can deceive people and make them lame.
So the secret guard next to Mou Bin found him again.
Yan Song was depressed. What do you mean by this, Your Majesty? You can use this "spy" easily, but I... I really don't want to.
He was bursting with tears in his heart, but his face looked respectful and had a good attitude.
"His Majesty's secret decree."
Yan Song knelt down and prepared to receive the order with his hands.
The guard laughed secretly.
"His Majesty orally,"
Yan Song lowered his hands in embarrassment, listening respectfully.
Then the guard simply left four words.
“What goes up leads to results.”
Yan Song didn't know why at first, but later he understood after thinking about it. He was also a smart man. His talent was no longer inferior to that of Yang Shen, or even higher. He just had a bad reputation.
"I obey the order."
The meticulous attitude was noticed by the guards. After returning, he reported it to Mou Bin and reached Zhu Houzhao's ears. He nodded with satisfaction. Of course, Yan Song would never have the chance to dominate the government again, but he could control the government and be obedient. The jester can still be obtained, life and death are all in Zhu Houzhao's thoughts.
Yan Song began to implement it resolutely. After thinking about the causes and consequences, and adding the decree given by His Majesty and external information, a strategy that was not very clever but could satisfy the Emperor collapsed.
This man is really capable. After thinking for a while, he came up with an idea. It seems that he is born to play conspiracy and power.
This matter is important. If he does anything wrong, he will offend all the royal relatives of the Zhu family, as well as the nobles and nobles of the country. Naturally, he will not put himself in danger, but the emperor has told him that he will definitely do this, so he A scapegoat is needed.
He calculated that he couldn't touch Yang Ting and the people over there. Liu Daxia and Jiao Fang were members of the imperial party, so they couldn't be touched. After all the calculations, Qingliu was the only one left. The emperor asked him to explain. I'm afraid he meant the same thing. Qingliu claimed to be noble. I go my own way and play the role of a gentleman who dares to remonstrate. This is the most suitable scapegoat.
Well, Zhu Houzhao thought so too.
Fuling Restaurant is one of the largest restaurants in Beijing.
Yan Song used the pretext of keeping in touch with each other and invited friends. After leaving office, he entertained guests at a Fuling restaurant. After drinking, he tended to talk too much, and since he was a clean-blooded person, he dared to speak. Set down.
At this moment, someone is looking for the hapless guy who is the boldest and easiest to take the bait. He wants to give advice first. Yan Song thought with disdain in his heart that you are worthy of talking nonsense about national affairs and sitting down with someone to talk. He thinks very highly of himself. But he knew how to behave, so he still pretended to be a good person and exchanged cups with them.
The target appeared, and one of them, a Hanlin named Li Chi, started to talk foolishly, causing everyone to cheer in unison.
Yan Song was overjoyed, looking at Li Chi's arrogant expression, I'm not going to lie to you, but there seemed to be two big words engraved on his head, Stupid Dick.
It’s you~!
"Brother Li is a great talent, I can't wait for the eventuality. When Song heard this, he wished he could fall at his knees and ask for advice."
Li Chi was even more proud. Yan Song was a famous person in the Imperial Academy, talented and full of knowledge. At this moment, his praise really made Li Chi feel happy.
"Brother Yan, you're over-praised, you're over-praised, haha..." Looking at the posture, there is no trace of humility at all, he is clearly proud.
Yan Song secretly laughed, everyone despised him, Li Chi especially didn't know it.
The time was almost up, Yan Song toasted him with a few more glasses of wine, and took the opportunity to ask his boss to send him some pen and ink, which he had prepared in advance.
He guided Li Chi step by step and coaxingly to tell the emperor what to say. After some flattery, Li Chi got carried away and kept talking eloquently without realizing that he had fallen into a trap.
"What good does the power of the royal family do to the country? They are nothing more than moths. The rebellion of King Ning Zhu Chenhao is an example. They enjoy the enshrinement of the country and are not satisfied. They also take a look at the artifacts. The people of the world have suffered from them for a long time. According to some opinions, when... ····Cut…the feudal clan!”
boom.....!
Except for Yan Song, everyone was shocked by these two words. No one dared to answer the question. Why did Emperor Chengzu raise the army? It was because of the reduction of vassals. You dare to say this nonsense, and you are seeking death.
"Brother Li! You are drunk." Someone exclaimed.
Some people looked around in horror, fearing that the news would spread.
But little did he know that there was a Qingliu "Xizuo" beside him who was listening with relish and his expression was serious.
Li Chi waved his hands and scolded him without any panic, and said with a big tongue: "Nonsense, so-and-so... I won't get drunk after a thousand cups."
Someone tried hard to stop him from talking. If he kept talking, he might die without knowing it.
It's a good thing that the man didn't pull. Li Chi's head was big, and he shouted angrily: "What are you afraid of..., Your Majesty, your Majesty,...how...how...how can...you be punished for your words? Haha... We, our generation... scholars, should... dare to... speak out and criticize, and someone should make suggestions... cut... cut the feudal lordship~!!!"
It’s over! It’s over, it’s over~! !
The second Fang Xiaoru of the Ming Dynasty is about to appear.
The first of the ten tribes to be barred is Fang Xiaoru, which means that you, Li Chi, will soon become the second one.
"Get a pen~!" He didn't stutter on these three words.
Yan Song was very respectful and pushed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone over with admiration. The matter was done. Tomorrow, these remarks would definitely cause another uproar, but he completed the task very well. Li Chi was drunk and talking nonsense. Will he die? I know, but those crazy royal relatives would probably eat him alive!
After receiving the news, Zhu Houzhao was already laughing wildly in the palace. No one knew what Zhu Houzhao was laughing about, but His Majesty was happy, and they were naturally happy as slaves.
