Chapter 12: Forcing Death to Death
Everyone has their own ideas in their hearts, and at this moment, only Chen Mu is still unchanged.
He knew these ancients all too well.
There are few people who have been martyred throughout the ages, and most of them are just seeking personal interests for themselves.
Chen Xingtian can buy it, I, Chen Mu, don't eat your set!
And Master Zhang, who was dragged to the side of the pillar by Chen Mu, was even more stupid.
What's going on? It's not conventional!
He is also an old and important minister of the DPRK, why is this prince not nervous at all?
If you're not nervous, forget it, you still pull yourself to hit the pillar!
Seeing that Master Zhang didn't make the next move, Chen Mu instead opened his mouth to urge.
"Lord Zhang, hurry up, this mite is looking at you."
"As a veteran minister, you can't be untrustworthy!"
This can be regarded as completely blocking Master Zhang's retreat.
Chen Mu looked at Master Zhang's stunned appearance, and smiled secretly in his heart, but on the surface, he deliberately pretended to be suddenly enlightened.
"Oh, I see." Chen Mu nodded, "Master Zhang is a weak scholar, I must have never seen this kind of thing, come here!" ”
Saying that someone was coming, the guards in front of the hall immediately rushed up and stood beside Chen Mu.
"If Lord Zhang doesn't want to do it yourself, it's okay to let Bill help you."
Seeing that the guards called by Chen Mu were all fully armed, Master Zhang finally retreated.
Although Chen Mu had a smile on his face, there was no smile in his eyes.
Master Zhang can see that if he continues to persevere, he is afraid that this prince will really order these guards to press their heads and hit the pillar.
New Deal or something, there will be a chance to turn the tables in the future, but if you don't do anything now, this life will not be saved.
"Too ...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Minister...... The old minister thinks that this new policy is not useless, and there are some merits in it. ”
Chen Mu was waiting for this moment, and he immediately looked back at Chen Xingtian.
Although Chen Xingtian was also frightened by Chen Mu's actions, his ability to adapt to changes was still very strong.
"Zhang Aiqing, since you think that the new policy has merit, then you and I will discuss it carefully afterwards."
In this way, after a few words that were not light or heavy, Lord Zhang, who originally wanted to force him to die, touched his nose and could only return to the ranks of hundreds of officials in a gloomy manner.
There was silence in the hall, and the ministers could almost hear their own breathing.
The first bird to emerge was ruthlessly cleaned up by the crown prince, and now, even if those ministers were dissatisfied in their hearts, they didn't dare to make noise easily.
Chen Mu looked at the silent hall with satisfaction.
It seems that his trick of killing chickens and monkeys is quite effective.
Chen Mu is well aware that the success of this new policy is crucial for the first time.
If the first proposal is rejected by these oppositionists, then I am afraid that I will not have a chance in the future.
On the contrary, if you can succeed this time, it will be much easier to say anything in the future.
"Who else thinks that this new deal is inappropriate, that it is a policy that will bring disaster to the country and the people? Just speak out. Chen Mu was standing in front of that pillar, and behind him were a group of heavily armed guards.
Or...... Who else wants blood to splatter in the Golden Temple? ”
Silent.
Joke, who dares to joke with their lives at such a juncture!
And at this time, Chen Xingtian was also a needle.
"Since all Aiqing agrees, then immediately promulgate a new policy and send orders to all places." Chen Xingtian did not give those opposition the slightest chance to repent, "Retreat from the dynasty!" ”
Chen Mu dismissed the guards and followed Chen Xingtian back to the study.
"You've gone a little too far today."
After returning to the study, Chen Xingtian said to Chen Mu with a serious face.
Although Chen Mu's approach is very effective, the risks he takes are also very great.
In case that Lord Zhang really has an accident in the main hall, I am afraid that this new deal will be completely hopeless.
He knew that Chen Mu had no intention of harming Master Zhang, but under that kind of sobriety, Chen Mu also behaved seamlessly.
If you let Master Zhang see any clues, this scene will not be able to continue.
Chen Xingtian blamed him, and Chen Mu refuted him in a few words.
"Think about it, why does Lord Zhang oppose this new policy?"
Chen Xingtian was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously replied.
"His family has 100 acres of fertile land, and if the new policy is implemented, the tenants' taxes will have to be handed over to the state treasury, which is a big loss for him."
"Yes, how can a person who can't even afford this little tax be willing to die?"
Chen Xingtian was speechless when he said one sentence.
That's right! How did I not think of this layer.
Those oppositionists are only in their own interests in the final analysis!
As for this farce of death and life, it is nothing more than a means for them to seek profits!
If he really delayed the promulgation of the new policy because of his temporary soft-heartedness, he was afraid that those opposition parties would gain an inch in the future, and it would be even more difficult to clean up.
I didn't expect any of this, but my son had already thought of such a deep place. 、
He is worthy of being the prince of Great Xia! At this time, it was already quite imperial.
At this moment, two little eunuchs came in from outside the door, looking a little embarrassed.
"What's the matter?" Chen Xingtian was in a good mood at the moment, "But it's okay to talk about it!" ”
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, there are several adults outside the palace, asking the emperor to take back his order."
Chen Mu and Chen Xingtian glanced at each other.
It seems that the real challenge is yet to come.
"Really? What else did they say? ”
They also said...... If the emperor refuses to take back his order, they will always kneel there. ”
Okay, this is forcing the palace!
This time, without waiting for Chen Mu to react, Chen Xingtian laughed first.
"Okay, I'm really a bully?"
"Just now in the court, I still took care of their faces, since I am so obsessed, I don't think there is any need to take care of them."
"You two, go out and tell them that if you don't want to kneel, you can go home at any time; If you are willing to kneel, I will never stop you. ”
"But this new deal, I have decided to use it!"
The two little eunuchs hurriedly agreed to come down, and turned around to go out.
"Slow!" Chen Mu stopped them with a loud voice, and a sly smile rose on the corner of his mouth.
"What else does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince command?"
"Let the imperial dining room send bowls of porridge to the kneeling ministers and eat something, so that they can have the strength to kneel for a longer time."
Let's see which of us can afford whom!
Those ministers outside the palace originally held the determination to win this time, thinking that if so many people knelt outside the palace, the emperor would definitely have to be subdued, and the matter of the new deal would be over.
Unexpectedly, the emperor was determined to carry them to the end this time.
