"Your Majesty! Since the reform of the law in our dynasty, the people have been in debt, and the court has gained nothing; The establishment of the city is easy to compete with the people for profit, and the people have deep complaints, and the property of the court is dissipated, and the gains outweigh the losses; In vain, water conservancy is promoted, the people are injured and the money is lost, and the field output is not as good as the eleventh before the change; Recently, the climate in Lin'an is abnormal, there are strong winds and dust, the sky and the earth are dark, the face is invisible, and the wind is constantly different, which is a strange omen from the sky, indicating that there are traitors in the imperial court and there are flaws in the new law. The minister implored His Majesty to remove Qin Hui and Sun Fu and ban the new law. ”

Zhao Gou's thoughts were still on Kong Yanzhou, and he didn't care about what the official Zheng Anguo said, but the last sentence was really heard, he was shocked and angry, and suddenly stood up from the dragon chair and said, "What did Aiqing say?" I didn't get it, you say it again! ”

Qin Hui smiled, Your Majesty was really angry this time.

No one knows Zhao Gou better than Qin Hui, this emperor can disguise himself better than a chameleon, he is open-minded and kind on the surface, he seems to be diligent and tolerant, but in fact, his heart is insidious.

The ministers saw that they were working hard, and as long as it was conducive to the development of the Jianyan Dynasty, they would show a rare magnanimity and frugality of the emperor. In fact, he had already recorded a black account for the ministers who demolished the stage and sang the opposite tune, and found an opportunity to settle accounts after the autumn and clean up the contagious sequelae.

An inattentive courtier will not find that when the minister puts forward opinions and suggestions on any matter, or even sings against it, he is happy when he hears it, but he can't blame the new law, not even the slightest, otherwise his heart will immediately be angry.

Because the new law is his lifeblood and his scales, whoever moves will be unlucky.

However, there are always some people who persevere, or do not cry when they see the coffin, they find fault with the new law everywhere, and they are indomitable to prevent the implementation of the new law, even if they are ruined.

Everyone understands that these people are only the forerunners of the scholar class, and the new law has invisibly weakened their power to exploit the people, so they have to do everything possible to obstruct it.

At this point, Zhao Gou's performance was very iron-fisted, he supported Qin Hui and Sun Fu just like Qin Xiaogong supported Shang Ying, and the opponents were all relegated to far away to become officials. But he still underestimated this force, and there was an endless stream of opponents, and the radicals actually wanted to die in the court meeting, Zhao Gou was furious and immediately put them in prison.

This moment seemed to have stabbed a hornet's nest, and some opposition courtiers became more and more violent, and they looked like they were going to die with the reformers.

In a court meeting, Shangshu He Dongming swore to oppose the new law, Zhao Gou announced his retreat from the court in anger, and walked away, He Dongming stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve.

Maybe one was unprepared, Zhao Gou almost fell, and after stabilizing his body, he saw that He Dongming had no fear, did not apologize for his behavior, and still chattered that the new law was a flood beast.

The anger calmed down Zhao Gou, he stared at He Dongming and said coldly: "Shangshu He Dongming wants to assassinate me, come here, take him down, and put him in prison!" ”

After that, many ministers interceded for He Dongming, and said that Taizu had a testament not to kill the scholars and doctors.

Zhao Gou's performance was even colder, and he asked: "Those who plot against me are not guilty, so can everyone in the world assassinate me?" and then intercede for He Dongming, and be guilty of the same crime! ”

Soon, Zhao Gou abolished Taizu's posthumous training on the grounds that the posthumous training was not suitable for the current national conditions in an extraordinary period, and He Dongming was sentenced for treason three days later.

Finally quiet for a long time, I don't want someone to bring up the old things again today, this is challenging the emperor's bottom line again.

Qin Hui found that the emperor was really angry at this moment, although his face was calm, in fact, his heart was already angry.

The sentence he just said would be, "What's in your mouth?" Is there a kind of try you to say it again to Lao Tzu? ”

I don't know if Zheng Anguo didn't taste the emperor's words, or because he was fearless as an official, he looked like a dead pig, and he didn't care about the boiling water splashed by the emperor at all, and played again: "Today's people's livelihood is withering, the people are destitute, and the ministers are anxious in their eyes, so they diligently seek advice for the country." On the other hand, His Majesty was absent-minded during the court discussion and ignored the proposals of his subordinates, which was not the work of the Holy Monarch. The minister once again dared to implore His Majesty to repeal the new law and depose the traitors Qin Hui, Sun Fu and their minions! ”

You carry a kitchen knife, I carry a brick, like a needle tip piercing wheat, like a hedgehog drilling into the tribulus terrestris, as if this pair of monarchs and ministers have the characteristics of market hob meat in their bones, and they will fight for a breath of people, and the Buddha will fight for a stick of incense to the extreme.

Zhao Gou was puzzled, hundreds of officials were puzzled, and even Zheng Anguo himself was puzzled, so why he confronted the emperor-for-tat with a disagreement. But the matter has come to this point, shrinking his head and stretching out his head, he can only go one way to the black tough guy. Fat Cat Literature Network

Sure enough, he ignored the emperor who was trembling with anger in his heart, and once again said: "If the new law is not removed, the people will not be able to make a living, and if the traitors will not stop, the country will not be a country." The minister once again implored His Majesty to repeal the new law and depose the traitor Qin Hui, Sun Fu and their minions! ”

Qin Hui didn't scold or argue, he couldn't and didn't dare to do this, because he knew that as soon as he spoke, he would fall into the pit, whether it was scolding or arguing, he would fall into the whirlpool, and then be buried in a torrent of saliva from a group of officials, and he would never be able to get out again.

He knew that as long as he stayed out of the matter, the emperor would clean up the mess. Sure enough, Zhao Gou held back his anger and said coldly: "According to Aiqing's words, I am a faint king, I am a traitor, and the ministers are all busy, and you are smart and loyal." I don't worry about the country and the people, so that the people are not able to make a living, and the country is declining, so you alone will work hard to contribute to the country. It seems that if you sit on the dragon chair, you will definitely make my country and the people prosperous and prosperous. In this case, I immediately made a Zen concession, Zen position and Aiqing, are you satisfied? ”

How do you take this?

To catch it is to rob the throne, a capital crime!

Not accepting it is a felony to blaspheme the emperor and the important ministers of the court!

Either kneel on the ground and cry bitterly and beg for mercy, but he can't afford to lose people, he is a loyal minister who worries about the country and the people, how can he surrender to the treacherous evil with a word. But what if you don't? This...... Your Majesty, this is a dead hand!

Zheng Anguo was stunned in his mind, and emotions such as loss, helplessness, frustration, compassion, grievance, and anger followed, and then all emotions were swallowed up by anger, and he instantly turned into a raging lion and roared in front of the court.

First accuse Qin Hui and Sun Fu of being a blessing and power, being embarrassed and traitorous, stealing the power of the country, and the people in the world only know that there is a prime minister in the court, but they don't know that there is an emperor in the court. The ministers of the court and the two of them breathed out of their nostrils, they were not ministers of the court at all, they were clearly Qin Hui and Sun Fu's house slaves, minions, and eagle dogs.

Then he began to accuse Zhao Gou of being loyal and treacherous, closing his eyes and listening, appointing others to be traitors, encircling a group of mediocre ministers, and tossing the vigorous Jianyan court into hell. And he is extravagant and corrupt, only knowing his own enjoyment, regardless of the life and death of the people...... Zheng Anguo scolded so slippery, and some of the brains that didn't pop out.

In the end, he scolded the officials who did not help him, and did not directly persuade the emperor's mistakes to correct them, but blindly let them go.

After scolding for a long time, Zheng Anguo was also tired, he added a closing sentence, and abandoned the official uniform and hat in the hall, wanting to turn around and leave.

"Your Majesty will not listen to the ministers, and you will not be allowed to stay here for a long time!"

This closing sentence is a spell, the curse is Zhao Gou's throne, but the end is Zheng Guoan's life.

Needless to say, Zhao Gou ordered the dynasty to take it down, and then asked him to give an example of how he lived a life of luxury and corruption.

Zheng Guoan knew that in order to be happy, there was no door on his mouth, and he couldn't say why.

Zhao Gou made a big move, Zheng Guoan cursed me, slandered me, abandoned the official in the court, seemed to have a traitorous and thief's heart, and was immediately imprisoned, and Dali Temple thoroughly investigated and interrogated.

He knows that Zheng Guoan is just a pawn, and what he wants is the mastermind behind the scenes, those doctors who are hiding behind him.

Less than two days after he entered the prison, Zheng Guoan's tough guy image collapsed in the rush, and then those scholars and doctors who instigated and incited him to make trouble in the court, or secretly promised him benefits, entered the prison like a sweep.

Then Long Yan was furious, and ordered Dali Temple to strictly investigate and deal with it, and those who dared to bend the law for personal gain were guilty of the same crime. In order to show loyalty, Dali Siqing did not hesitate to use all kinds of torture tools, but when did these scholars and doctors who were born in the rich and noble suffer, the torture tools were not enough to have a cup of tea, and they signed and detained all the crimes that they did not have.

Then Dali Siqing listed all the crimes one by one, presented to the emperor, Zhao Gou waved a big pen to raid all the sinners' homes, copied out the greedy ink and looted people's fat and ointment, and found evidence of defection to the enemy, and then pronounced the sentence according to the severity of the crime, some were killed, some were exiled, and some were confiscated...... Zheng Guoan was sentenced to be beheaded, which is not the heaviest, the two major forces similar to the gate lords in the capital were sentenced to be beheaded all over the house, because they had two more fatal crimes: thieves and internal responses, and defection to the enemy and treason.

What was revealed in the blood was Zhao Gou's smiling face, the abrupt filling of the treasury, the surprising unity of the ministers, and the rare silence of the people...... It was Zhang Jun, a naturally rebellious thing, who dared to plead for these criminals and give them a light sentence. Although he was not involved in this turmoil, he was Zhao Gou's eternal pain.
