Chapter 385 (Xie Asongsang, the child's mother, and the monthly pass of moshaocong.) There is one more chapter in the evening. ）

Song Nan's words were sonorous, like a hammer ringing through the hall, everyone in the hall was dumbfounded, Song Nan accused the court of the mistakes of the court policy in court, this is a great risk, a bad one will be crowned with the crime of slandering the government, and it will be difficult to get out there.

Many people were very disdainful of Song Nan's mouth, and when they saw that Zhengde, Liu Jin and others were not good-looking, they all thought that Song Nan was in a catastrophe this time. Some people thought about Song Nan's words carefully and thought that Song Nan's words were reasonable, but it was really inappropriate to point out them mercilessly in court, and they couldn't help but secretly sweat for Song Nan.

Zhengde said with a gloomy face: "Song Nan, according to what you say, the policy of the imperial court is useless?" Do you mean that the imperial court's policy was inappropriate, leading the people to rebel, right? ”

Liu Jin shouted: "Your Majesty, don't believe his nonsense, he is excusing the thieves, isn't this the 'official coercion and rebellion' rhetoric that the thieves justify themselves?" He Song Nan knew that there were so many drawbacks, so why didn't he bring them up early? Letting things get out of hand? In the eyes of the slave maid, Song Nan was just an afterthought, blaming the court for the sins of the mob, how could he be allowed to talk nonsense here. ”

Song Nan reprimanded: "Stop, a few months ago, you tried your best to implement the new horse policy and the new land policy, at that time, Zhang Shun, the imperial historian, Liu Songtao, a member of the household department, and others all raised objections, what was the result?" Zhang Shun is now at home, Liu Songtao was demoted to Liuzhou as a county magistrate, and several other officials, I won't list them all, can you explain to me what is going on? ”

Liu Jin's face turned red and said, "You...... What do you mean? They have been dismissed and demoted in office, what does it have to do with our family? Don't you spew blood, thinking that our family can't retaliate because they oppose the promulgation of the new policy? ”

Song Nan sneered: "I didn't say it, this is what you said." ”

Liu Jin jumped like thunder, puffed down and knelt down in front of Zhengde and said: "The emperor is the master of the slave and maid, Song Nan is spewing blood, the slave and the maid are loyal to the emperor, and it is so unbearable to be in this guy's mouth, the emperor is the master of the slave and maid." ”

Zhengde frowned and shouted impatiently: "Get up!" Now the most urgent thing is to exterminate the thieves, and the thieves will soon capture the capital of Gunzhou and approach Nanjing, and you still have the heart to fight here. ”

Liu Jin was startled, hurriedly got up, glanced at Song Nan fiercely, and stood aside angrily.

Zhengde looked at Song Nan and said: "Song Nan, I am not thin on you, and you have never disappointed me, you sue me, do you have to agree to your conditions before you are willing to go out to suppress thieves?" ”

Song Nan knew that Zhengde was already on the verge of breaking out, if he was not careful, Zhengde might punish himself recklessly, although the matter of exterminating the thieves was urgent, but no matter how urgent it was, it could not match Zhengde's desire to maintain his authority, and he was forced to agree to Song Nan's conditions, where is the supreme authority?

Zhengde actually understands very well in his heart that what Song Nan said is not completely unreasonable, but sometimes he can't admit it even if he knows that things are wrong, which is a means to maintain imperial power; Although they regret it in their hearts, they are unwilling to change their words, and would rather make mistakes wrong, especially in front of their ministers.

"Your Majesty ......" Song Nan carefully organized the wording, trying not to provoke Zhengde: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, no matter how virtuous a monarch is, it is impossible to be completely free of mistakes; Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty, they all made big mistakes, but these mistakes did not affect the evaluation of them by later generations; Therefore, it is not uncommon to make mistakes, and mistakes can be corrected not to add dirt but to add color. Moreover, the mistakes of the imperial court's policies are not the fault of the emperor alone, the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and the officials of the inner and outer courts are all responsible, and the emperor does not have to blame himself too much. ”

Zhengde's face gradually eased, and Song Nan's words were actually excusing himself.

"Knowing that there is a deviation, is it a bad thing to correct it in time? The ancients said: It's not too late to make amends, the thieves seem to be surging in power, but in the eyes of the minister, they are actually not worth mentioning. The minister already has a strategy in his heart, as long as the court cooperates with the abolition of these policies and decrees that have been proven to be defective, it is a great help for the minister to suppress the thief, which is the court's move to win the hearts of the people, the emperor, the minister implores the emperor to agree to the minister's request. ”

Zhengde was silent, as if thinking about the pros and cons.

British Gong Zhang Mao listed: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that what Song Nan said is reasonable, although the imperial court decrees and policies cannot be changed overnight, but there are drawbacks, they need to be improved, and the emperor needs to abolish the new policy, consider its items, and then implement it after improvement." ”

As soon as Zhang Mao spoke, many people immediately seconded the proposal.

"Yang Tinghe, what do you think?" Zhengde looked at the cabinet ministers who were silent, although the status of the cabinet in his mind has not been high for a long time, but it cannot be denied that these scholars are still quite insightful about the government and politics, when Liu Jin asked to implement these policies, he did not consult them, and now it seems to be a big mistake.

Yang Tinghe slowly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the opinion of the cabinet has already been stated at the time of administrative promulgation, and both the minister and Li Shoufu proposed to try it out in some state capitals, but they were all rejected. If you know today, why bother in the first place. ”

Zhengde frowned and was silent, Yang Tinghe vented his dissatisfaction, his heart headache was much faster, and continued: "The minister thinks that this policy is not a question of whether to abolish or not, but how to replace it with a reasonable new deal; At the beginning, the promulgation of the horse administration and the land policy was also to increase the imperial court's finances, and its starting point was not wrong, which could not be killed with a rod. ”

Everyone was extremely surprised, Yang Tinghe defended Liu Jin with these words, and even Liu Jin was extremely surprised.

"The minister built yì suspended the implementation of the new policy, and the minister asked for help, and led the colleagues of the six departments of the cabinet to work together to trade, and then promulgated it after correcting its drawbacks, so as to meet the requirements of Lord Song, and make the policy of the imperial court more perfect, isn't it the best of both worlds?" Yang Ting and Lang said.

Zhengde smiled: "Very good, this is the solution to the problem, I am accurate, Song Nan, are you satisfied?" ”

Song Nan secretly admired Yang Tinghe's methods, the snipe and the clam competed for the fisherman's profit, this guy gently and skillfully grabbed the power to formulate the new policy, saying that the suspension of implementation is actually just abolition, so it is also to save face for Liu Jin; Song Nan was almost certain that Yang Tinghe, who presided over the release of Ma Zheng and the land government, must be completely different from Liu Jin's.

"The minister agrees, Scholar Yang is indeed exquisite, admire and admire." Song Nan's language is ironic with mystery.

"Where, where is it, Song Dacai is the pillar of the imperial court that needs to be relied on at a critical time." Yang Tinghe fought back quietly.

As soon as Zhengde raised his hand, he was about to promulgate the decree, and Jiao Fang, a member of the cabinet, suddenly said: "Lord Song, the court has agreed to your request, and you must also fulfill your promise, the emperor has high hopes, if Lord Song can't exterminate the thieves, how can he explain?" ”

Song Nan said: "I've already said it, come and see you." ”

Jiao Fang sneered: "If you come back, the situation will definitely be rotten, and then it will not be you Song Nan who can forgive your sins with one life." ”

Song Nan said: "Then according to your Lord Jiao's intentions, how can I assure the imperial court?" ”

Jiao Fang said: "If you live up to the trust of the imperial court, not only you, but also the British public who recommended you, and the officials who seconded the proposal will be jointly and severally liable." ”

Song Nan laughed and said: "Lord Jiao is really ruthless enough, you should ask the British public if you want to do this, I didn't expect that before I Song Nan set out to fight the thieves, I had to think about who to drag me to die with me, it was really unheard of." ”

Zhang Mao was already furious, pointed at Jiao Fang's nose and scolded: "Jiao Fang, what do you mean?" Song Nan hasn't taken up his post yet, do you curse him for defeat? What's in it for you if you're defeated? Phew, villain one. ”

Jiao Fang's face turned pale and said, "Old man, this official is just taking this opportunity to remind Lord Song that military affairs are not child's play. ”

Zhang Mao was already furious: "Bah, you can only play tricks, you have the ability to go to the thief, just now the emperor asked who can lead the army to suppress the thief, why did you shrink your head?" Why don't you nominate yourself? Others go desperately, you fall behind and stumble, eat people's food and don't do people's things, and roll aside. ”

The ministers were in an uproar, the old man had never been so presumptuous in the court, he was generally indispensable, and he did not express specific opinions on the government, and today suddenly broke out, and he scolded a cabinet scholar in front of the emperor, which is really rare.

Jiao Fang was depressed to death, I wanted to insert a lever, sit on Song Nan is punishment after the defeat, and by the way, I brushed the sense of storage, but I didn't expect it to provoke the anger of the old man, looking at Zhang Mao's clenched fists and glaring, Jiao Fang wisely chose to shut up, and said one more thing, the old man's fist was afraid that it was going to be waved in his face.

By this time, the decision had been made, and most of the officials did not dare to take on the heavy responsibility of suppressing thieves, so they did not go to make more trouble; Although Liu Jin was discouraged, he also knew that it was a top priority to suppress thieves, and it would be detrimental to him to jump out and talk nonsense at this time. Besides, it is not easy to suppress thieves, and Song Nan may not be able to succeed, if he waits for Song Nan to retreat and then unites his forces to impeach, it may be a hundred.

The decree was promulgated when the court was written, appointing Song Nan as the governor of the army and horses, adding the title of third-class brave crown and marquis, granting the right to transfer soldiers and horses outside Beijing, and making Zhang Yong the supervisor of the army; At the same time, it was decreed to suspend the implementation of the three laws and regulations, including the New Malaysia Policy, the New Land Policy, and the Law of the Shiwu Joint Sitting, and ordered the Cabinet to select and dispatch officials to various places to provide relief to the displaced people and reassure the people.

Three watches and three drums, the court will disperse, Song Nan, who has been added to the official rank, was the last to leave the empty hall, but his mood was not easy at all, although he achieved his goal and abolished the three policies, but the burden on his body was heavy, and he couldn't breathe.

said full of confidence, but this is a war, not a game of play, although Song Nan has experienced several treacherous battles, but as the commander-in-chief of the army is the first time to fight, he can't help but feel uneasy.
