Among the nine people who came to ask for sin, five pavilion elders were the heads of the civil ministers. General Yin and General Chu were the leaders of the military generals. The King of Fenyang County and the King of An can be regarded as the representative figures of the clan princes and vassal kings.

At this time, the nine people were silent as if Qi Qi had gaffia.

Sheng Hong's expression was still stable, but his eyes were deep and sharp, and he swept the faces of the ministers one by one, and his voice revealed coldness: "What's wrong?" Didn't they all be able to say it at the court meeting before? Now I have calmed down and listened to you, why are you silent again? ”

His eyes swept and fell on King An's body first: "King An, you speak first." I have changed the law, so that the women of the world may establish a female household. What's wrong? ”

King An looked innocent: "Brother Huang, don't get me wrong!" The younger brother was silent from beginning to end. When the imperial brother makes any decision, the courtiers are in favor of it with both hands, and will never oppose it. ”

Ministers: "......"

This little slippery head that sees the wind and rudders!

Sheng Hong was quite satisfied with King An's response, and then asked the King of Fenyang County: "King of Fenyang County, what do you think?" ”

The king of Fenyang County was appointed by Sheng Hong, and he can be called the confidant of the Son of Heaven. Even if he was shocked before, after half a day of "pleading", he has come back to his strength.

The king of Fenyang replied: "As the Son of Heaven, he has the right to change the law. There is nothing wrong with the emperor's move. ”

The minister thought that the opposition of the ministers in the court was fierce, but they were all unable to react at this time. After thinking about it carefully, you can understand the good intentions behind the emperor's move. ”

Ministers: "......"

Another sycophant!

Sheng Hong's expression remained unchanged, and he asked General Yin again: "General Yin, you only have an only daughter." There will always be a day when you will go west, and when the time comes, do you want to leave all the family business to your beloved daughter, or to your nephew? ”

That's a tricky and sharp question!

General Yin is notoriously upright, and he replied without thinking: "Needless to say, of course, it is all left to my daughter and my grandson." ”

No matter how close the nephew is, he is far inferior to his daughter!

Sheng Hong's expression eased slightly, and his voice softened a lot: "What General Yin said is very true. ”

The ministers were silent again. In their hearts, the emperor really came prepared!

Sheng Hong looked at General Chu.

General Chu was quite tactful, and without waiting for the Son of Heaven to ask, he took the initiative to open his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is a military general, and he only knows how to be loyal to the Son of Heaven." The ministers did not understand the law, nor did they speak falsely. ”

Sheng Hong asked four people in a row, and he had the upper hand in momentum. At this time, his eyes swept over the ministers with complicated expressions again, and he said slowly: "I can't deny that there is indeed my selfishness in this holy decree. ”

"I only have a beloved daughter, so I naturally have more pity for women. At least, as far as I can, I can make the women's lives better. ”

"I know what is in your heart. It is commonplace for men to be inferior to women, and husbands to be wives. I don't mean to suppress anyone, I just hope that women in the world can also be qualified to be self-reliant. ”

"I didn't expect you to approve of it, so I made a decree without consulting the cabinet. In the eyes of the elders, this means that the cabinet is not in the bottom of the eye, and such fierce opposition also means that it is a sign of parting with me, and you want to give me some color, right? ”

When it comes to the last two sentences, he is still unhurried, but his voice is extremely cold.

The spearhead is directed at the Cabinet.

Several pavilion elders were all in their hearts, and they had to bow down and ask for guilt: "Please let the emperor calm his anger!" The old minister is loyal to the emperor and has never been disrespectful. ”

The old minister had no intention of despising the Son of Heaven, and he did not dare to say goodbye to the emperor. Please Emperor Mingjian! ”

……

Sheng Hong sneered and didn't say anything. Let several cabinet elders bow down and confess. Before the tea was done, the elders couldn't hold it anymore.

Especially Fang Ge Lao and Li Ge Lao.

At today's court meeting, Elder Fang Ge was the first to speak out against it, and Elder Li Ge's words were the most fierce and sharp. Now, the two of them feel the most direct Tianwei. Cold sweat had already oozed from his forehead.

Lu Ge is the first assistant, and the pressure is also the greatest.

In the past half a day, Lu Ge veteran has thought about this matter carefully, and has vaguely guessed the true intention of the Son of Heaven. The shock in Lu Ge's heart was indescribable.

Just when everyone couldn't hold it anymore, the Son of Heaven finally opened his mouth: "My will is indeed a little vague and inappropriate. Now, I have submitted the matter to the cabinet, and several cabinet elders have carefully discussed and considered how to improve the law, and there must be a specific charter. Ten days later, I will proclaim this decree to the world! ”

Lu Ge Lao finally couldn't help but open his mouth: "Revising the law is not a trivial matter. Ten days is too rushed. Please allow the old ministers to ...... more time."

Before he finished speaking, Sheng Hong said lightly: "It's okay, then I will give you a month." ”

Before Elder Lu Ge could say anything more, Sheng Hong's voice was already cold: "What? Could it be that a month is not enough? I can't even do this little thing, so what's the use of asking for a cabinet? ”

Elder of the Pavilion: "......"

The elders had no choice but to plead guilty again. One by one, they said that "the old minister is useless" and "the emperor is angry" and so on.

"The so-called once a son of heaven and a courtier. But I have been on the throne for so many years, and I have not even changed a single minister. The five elders are all veterans who have gone through three dynasties. Sheng Hong said in a deep voice: "This is also a rare thing in all dynasties. ”

"It is my blessing and your blessing for you to get along with your kings and ministers."

"I have great trust in you, and I hope you will not live up to my high expectations."

"I will give you only one month to complete the revision of the law. There is a slight mistake in this matter, I am asking for you! ”

……

When several pavilion elders moved out of the Qing Palace, their respective expressions were not to be mentioned.

They are all old foxes who have been cultivating in officialdom for decades. Today, he was given the grace of the Son of Heaven and cleaned up his face, which is really embarrassing.

The king of Fenyang County and the king of An only looked forward to the Son of Heaven, and the anger of the Son of Heaven went to the cabinet, and the two of them didn't eat anything, and their mood was quite relaxed. Under the pretext that there are still important things in the Zongren Mansion, he left in a hurry.

General Yin doesn't care about everything now, and is in a state of semi-service. Also quickly gone.

Elder Li Ge glanced at Elder Fang Ge. The elder of the pavilion opened his mouth and said to General Chu: "General Chu might as well go to the cabinet together, sit down for a while, and discuss today's affairs." ”

General Chu immediately politely refused: "There are a bunch of trivial matters in the Imperial Forest Army, I really can't pull away." Moreover, this is a matter for civilian officials, and as a military general, it is really inconvenient for me to get involved. ”

After saying that, he arched his hand and left.

No one is stupid.

The Son of Heaven was clearly determined to revise the law. This hot potato has already been thrown to the cabinet, whoever touches it is a fool!
