Surprised?

Not surprised?

Are you afraid?

Panic?

The fat house has been holding back in the palace for so many days, and finally held back a big move, and this big move finally did not disappoint.

No one would have thought that the emperor would announce the edict in the form of newspapers and periodicals without going through the celebrant and the cabinet.

It's pretty disorganized.

Therefore, this is also the reason why everyone was confused before, they all predicted that Wanli would definitely have a big move, then there would inevitably be movement, however, Wanli was not moving at all, which has always made everyone very puzzling and uneasy.

And now everyone suddenly realized that the reason why there was no movement was because Wanli had long been preparing to publish the edict in the Life Daily, which of course did not need to go through anyone, just discuss it with Guo Dan.

Of course, Wanli actually had an explanation with Tian Yi, the governor of Dongchang, but Tian Yi knew very well how his predecessor stepped down, and this incident was also a test for him, and he did it very secretively, and the key list was also very ordinary, so it did not attract everyone's attention.

The people who understood it were as if they had been beaten again.

I can't come back to my senses for half a day!

Having said that, it doesn't matter if you are so willful occasionally, you brag in the press and praise Guo Dan, which they can all accept.

But Wanli's move can be said to be earth-shaking.

This edict is straight to the point, and it directly indicates that the reforms that have been put on hold in the last round will be comprehensively promoted.

That is, it is spread into acres.

This is also expected by everyone.

But then I have to talk about it, it's really scary to death!

First of all, he set up the Senate in the DPRK and the Central Committee to lead the reform with full powers.

The formation of the reform committee, this trick is also commonly used by the emperor, but the key is that the first batch of governors who were elected to the Senate for political affairs, except for Cao Ke, the rest must be some little-known young jinshi, one is not even a jinshi, and the officials of the DPRK and China do not know a few, among which the largest official position is Cao Ke, a member of the household department, and Cao Ke is all seven or eight officials.

As a result, the entire cabinet is completely suspended.

For such a big matter as reform, there is not a single cabinet minister, not a single minister.

No emperor has ever played like this since ancient times.

However, this is just the appetizer, and the main topic is yet to come.

Wanli used a short paragraph to explain the gap between the rich and the poor between officials and scholars, and in order to alleviate the obstacles to the apportionment of the land into the mu, he said that he would withdraw all the tax-free privileges and distribute them in silver, but not by the government, but by his own vouchers to go to Yinuoya Bank to collect them.

As a result, all the tax revenues were deposited in the Yinuo Qianzhuang along the canal, and then the government's expenditure had to be applied to Yinuo Qianzhuang, so the power of the household department would also be greatly reduced.

Finally, there is a short paragraph, which is to comprehensively improve the income of officials below the fourth grade.

Drastic?

There is no way to describe the shock of this decree.

That's what it's going to turn upside down.

Break all the rules, break all the ancestral system.

Didn't Taizu stipulate that officials can't be paid a raise, bullshit, Lao Tzu's fat house still wants to add it.

What can you do?

The key is to take back the tax-free privileges, a move that simply broke the feudal foundation of thousands of years.

It feels like the sky is falling apart!

What Taizu, what the sky, what etiquette, Lao Tzu's fat house is the most dick!

This is definitely not capricious.

......

Wang fu.

"Daddy, the child doesn't know anything about this, I don't know why Your Majesty would... Yes...! ”

Wang Heng looked at his father Wang Xijue with a stunned face, and somehow said it was good!

He was even more confused than Cao Ke.

Cao Ke is also a member of the household department, and he directly participated in the reform of the last time, and it is still reasonable to let him enter the Senate, and Wang Hengke has not participated in the palace examination, because he ranked first in the township examination of Shuntianfu last time, but he was impeached by the official, saying that the reason why he was first was mainly because of Wang Xijue.

At that time, Wang Xijue was greatly annoyed, but in the end he still said that as long as he was an official in the court, Wang Heng would not participate in any imperial examinations.

Since then, Wang Heng has been studying at home, and he has lived a life of idle clouds and wild cranes at a young age.

Then he inexplicably became the vice president of the Senate.

Wang Xijue was not as excited as Shen Shixing, because he was still a little prepared in his heart, he had thought that this storm would be much more terrifying than they imagined, but he was still a little scared and sweating, he just nodded and said: "For my father to believe in you, now that His Majesty has appointed you as the vice president of the Senate, what do you think?" ”

"Child...!"

Wang Heng looked at Wang Xijue blankly, he still couldn't come back to his senses.

It's just so inexplicable.

He wasn't even mentally prepared, and he didn't even know what was going on.

Wang Xijue said: "Daddy doesn't care about this matter, you can think about it yourself." ”

......

"Daddy!"

Aunt Xu, who had just gotten up, came to the front yard and saw her father slumped in a chair, holding a newspaper in one hand, muttering to herself, calling him without any response. The sky fell! ”

"The sky is falling?"

Aunt Xu was slightly startled, and shouted again: "Daddy, what are you talking about?" ”

Xu Mengxi's eyelids raised slightly, looked at her daughter, raised her hand slightly, and handed the newspaper in her hand to Aunt Xu.

Aunt Xu took the newspaper with a little weakness, as soon as she saw this newspaper, she subconsciously thought that it was related to Guo Dan, but when she saw the title, she couldn't help but be shocked.

"This is not Your Majesty's punishment for us, but to completely eliminate us, which is much more terrifying than Zhang Juzheng at the beginning!" Xu Mengxi closed his eyes and sighed.

......

Wuqing Houfu.

"How so? How so? ”

Li Gao suddenly tore the newspaper to shreds in anger and roared: "How can this be? ”

Before the words fell, his body shook suddenly, and the old servant beside him hurriedly helped him, "Master, are you okay?" ”

"Are you alright?"

Li Gao pushed him away and said, "How can the old man be fine, Your Majesty is going to bury my Daming!" ”

He thought about it for a long time, but he didn't expect Wanli to do this, he would do it so desperately, this move is undoubtedly a fatal blow to him, no, it should be for them, if they lose their privileges, it can almost be said that they have lost everything.

......

Imperial.

Early in the morning, there were a large number of officials gathered in the imperial city, and some people even forgot to wear official uniforms, so they came here directly.

"How so?"

"What the hell is going on?"

"Is this really an edict from His Majesty?"

"It's just nonsense, how can you do that."

"My century-old foundation of the Ming Dynasty will be destroyed in one fell swoop!"

......

Unlike all previous moments, this time there was an air of panic inside and outside the Imperial City.

The nature of the previous incident was still a court struggle, and everyone was competing for interests, which was slightly different, that is, there was Guo Dan, an alternative, which involved class struggle, but with Guo Dan becoming the financial adviser of the Ming Dynasty, the class struggle actually no longer existed.

But this time, it was tantamount to Wanli officially declaring war on them.

Because this move will inevitably offend all vested interests in the traditional concept.

It can be seen that Wanli has already set up a position to deal with them.

Don't talk about what you have and don't, if you don't like me, I don't like you, then there's nothing to talk about.

There is a way that the king is defeated by the king.

No one imagined that Wanli's revenge was so terrifying.

"Shen Shoufu is here!"

Suddenly, I heard a humane.

Everyone looked back and saw Shen Shixing and Xu Guo coming over, and they immediately surrounded them.

"Shen Shoufu, don't say you don't know."

Zhang Heming took the newspaper and raised it in front of Shen Shixing.

Everyone knows that Cao Ke is the son of Shen Shixing, and Wang Heng is the son of Wang Xijue, one of them serves as the dean, and the other serves as the vice president.

Shen Shixing seemed to have expected it, and said: "I didn't know anything about this in advance, I also asked Cao Ke before I came, and he didn't know anything about it, if you don't believe it, you can ask the people above casually, the old man dares to guarantee with the head of the Xiang, no one knows in advance that they have been elected to the Senate." ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other.

Chen Younian said suddenly: "I believe that Shen Shoufu doesn't know about this, if the people above know that His Majesty is going to set up a Senate, it is impossible not to even have a little rumor." ”

Wang Jiaping also nodded to express his belief in Shen Shixing.

These people are not under house arrest, and most of them are in the court of Qianguan and Weihui Mansion, if so many people knew in advance, it is impossible that there is not even a little news outside.

Li Sancai asked, "I wonder what Lord Shoufu thinks about this?" ”

Shen Shixing said: "Don't hide it from you, I haven't come back to my senses yet, why does His Majesty's edict appear in the Daily Life, what is this Senate, I think the same is true for you, let's ask Your Majesty first, and then make a final conclusion." ”

Everyone expressed their support, and they just hoped that Shen Shixing would take the lead.

Shen Shixing's heart is like a mirror, but he has no choice, such a big thing, as the first assistant, he has no way to retreat.

So, he led the Manchu Dynasty civil and military to the Huangji Palace.

When they came to the Imperial Gate, they stopped at the same time and stared blankly ahead.

I saw that although Wanli was wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the steps, he did not look like an emperor, he leaned over, leaned on the table on the side, supported his cheek with one hand, his face was expressionless, his eyes were empty, Zhang Cheng and Tian Yi stood on both sides, Dong Ping stood under the steps, and the surrounding brocade guards were majestic.

This... Is this a self-defeating trap?

They had come to look for the emperor, but when they saw the emperor, they couldn't help but feel panicked, and some even took a step back.

Because they already felt the hostility from the emperor.

In the past, no matter how much the minister and the emperor fought, they belonged to the same interest group, but today's atmosphere is full of hostility.

Shen Shixing hurriedly ordered the ministers to step forward in order.

Long live the three hoops......!

And then... There was no then.

The entire Huangji Gate was silent.

The ministers knelt on the ground, and the only thing they could hear was their own heartbeats.

After a while, Wanli suddenly stood up, came to the front of the steps, looked down at the ministers, and said loudly: "I know you will come, why?" Because I have ruined your jobs. ”
