Chapter 601: Zhang Xuan went berserk
The emperor's decree was to agree on a plan at the end of this year, that is, before the Chinese New Year's Eve of the fifteenth year of Jiajing, and after the beginning of the first month, announce to the world and implement the new law!
Now that it has entered the lunar month, Zhai Luan only has half a month left at most, but now this council is still like this, and he doesn't know when he will be involved just by pulling the skin!
Zhai Luan, who had already lost his patience, sat in the position of the chief minister, with wisps of anger on his originally unwavering face, and he couldn't bear it when he listened to the councilor's attacks on him in his ears.
Yan Song, Zhang Xuan, Xia Yan, Yang Shen, Liu Long, Zhang Jimeng, Gu Dingchen, and the seven vice chairmen all had heavy faces, but none of them expressed any decisive opinions in the three parliaments.
The officialdom has been soaked in so many years, who is not an old fox, when to say what kind of words, what to say, when not to express opinions, the seven people have a scale in their hearts.
"What kind of character is it today, all my colleagues know in their hearts that the land policy that has been planned for more than ten years has reached the point where it is inevitable to be implemented, and you are now pretending to be deaf and dumb, do you think you can get through the trick?"
Xia Yan frowned, and said unhappily: "The speaker's words seem inappropriate, His Majesty summoned the speaker, and it was appropriate to teach him face-to-face, presumably the decisions that should have been made have been made, and the only thing left is to implement them, so the speaker is arbitrary, and we will manage the government according to the speaker's instructions, and we dare not speak in vain about this policy, how can we get through the confusion?"
Zhai Luan knew that Xia Yan and others were a little dissatisfied with him becoming the speaker, but the emperor personally accepted his fate and had to obey it, and now it is estimated that he is waiting for himself to be embarrassed because of the land policy.
"That's it......" Zhai Luan sighed and said: "Although Ben Fu is not old, he has a sense of how powerful the government is, and he can also see that His Majesty is a little dissatisfied with Ben Fu, so why still occupy this position and block the way of people, or Zhai Mou will enter the palace and ask for resignation!" After that, he didn't even intend to bother with the council meeting that had been convened.
The seven deputy speakers were dumbfounded!
If it were another time, if Zhai Luan chose to resign, then they would definitely be unable to ask for it, but when is it now, on the cusp!
If Zhai Luan leaves, then the successor minister will be the target of everyone!
Who wants to be on the eve of reaching the top of their career, because of such things to let their life's efforts go down the drain!
"Shousuke, why bother?" Yang Shen opened his mouth and said: "There is nothing wrong with what Brother Xia said, but the first assistant wants to face the saint to resign, wouldn't it put Brother Xia in an unrighteous situation, not to mention, His Majesty summoned the first assistant, and talking about this policy is to place high hopes on the first assistant, how can the first assistant leave office lightly at this juncture?"
Zhai Luan's feet were stunned, so that he really resigned, and he was unwilling to serve in his early fifties as a very human minister, but now he was roasted on the fire, and none of the seven deputy speakers were willing to share, how sad.
Now Yang Shen gave him a step that is not a step, it is a shame to go down this step, but he is not reconciled, he is really in a dilemma, so he is not embarrassed.
Just when Zhai Luan was about to leave with one heart, Zhang Xuan suddenly got up!
Bang!
The sound of slapping the table was heard through loudspeakers, and the whole hall was silent.
"Enough of the noise? Enough trouble, so many days of noisy and noisy have results? Zhang Xuan snorted coldly: "The great policy of the emperor is aimed at eliminating bad governance, how many bad policies have been changed over the years, as an official of the Ming Dynasty, you can not know in your eyes, the current Ming Dynasty and the previous Ming Dynasty, are you all blind!"
Zhai Luan was shocked, and the other six deputy speakers were also dumbfounded.
Zhang Zhang: What are you doing? Even if you want to support the emperor's land reform policy, it seems that there is no need to be so radical, and even put yourself in opposition to the world's officials and even the entire interest class.
"What is your original intention for opposing this policy? Could it be that the officials and gentry pay the grain in one piece, and the original tax-free class in this world will not be able to survive?
Wrong, the vested interests in this world will not live a bad life, but they are unwilling and feel that their interests have been damaged, and they will not care whether the interests of the Ming Dynasty will be damaged because of themselves!
In the final analysis, it is just selfishness, you want to open your eyes for the vested interests of the world, but you also know that it is difficult for Your Majesty's will to change, so you are here to shout, to the newspaper reporters, and then find the opportunity to mobilize public opinion to put pressure on Your Majesty.
How ridiculous! Your Majesty has been in power for all these years, but if you are determined to change the system, you have ever given up halfway, and all those who try to stop it will end up in the end, you know better than this official!
As for public opinion! The newspaper has published articles related to land reform for several issues, what is the reaction of the people, as an official, can't you understand the voice of the people, the newspapers were founded by the emperor, and you still want to manipulate public opinion, how ridiculous!
Just now, I heard that many officials are planning to petition for Fuque, right, go, see if anyone is stopping you, this official is watching you Fuque in this Taihe Palace, and see what will happen to you! ”
There was silence in the Taihe Palace, and the biggest confidence of the members of the House of Representatives was that the crowd was excited, that is, the law did not blame the people, but as Beijing officials, they knew better what kind of emperor the Jiajing Emperor was today!
Emperor Jiajing is indeed benevolent and very talkative, but as long as it involves reforms......
That is, God blocks and kills God, and Buddha blocks and kills Buddha!
It cannot be denied that the establishment of the parliament is more forward-looking than the cabinet, such as weakening the power of the auxiliary minister, such as making the voting system fairer and more reasonable.
But when something touches the core interests of the parliamentarians themselves, it is inevitable to shout and ruffle, every parliamentarian has decision-making power in his hands, although it is very small, but there is something, and it is precisely because of such a little power that the clamoring parliamentarians want to kidnap the court and even the emperor through public opinion!
This is not to say that the legislators who choose to remain silent now will be neutral or even supportive of the land reform policy, in fact, this is simply impossible.
This part of the parliamentarians is looking at the direction of the wind, if the land reform policy forms a storm of public opinion and forces the emperor to give up, they will jump out to show their sense of existence, through the experience of previous years, it is almost impossible for Emperor Jiajing's will to reform to be changed, so after weighing the pros and cons, these people will consider the gains and losses!
After all, as long as you are not a fool, then everyone can distinguish between the official position and the payment of taxes.
Now as the emperor's staunchest supporter, Zhang Xuan jumped out and told all the members of the parliament with sharp words to give up unrealistic illusions, don't think that the public is angry, don't play anything in front of Emperor Jiajing, that's not self-deprecation, it's with your own hat, and your own life!
It's like a scoop of ice water on the head, which suddenly poured the House of Representatives into the heart and sobered up!
