Chapter Twenty-Four: The cadres are arbitrary, not inferior to Hongwu

"That's it! The matter of changing the law was presided over by Wang Yangming, and the Jinyi Guard was sent to assist by the Society. ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't care about the opinions of the ministers, and directly made the final decision.

Agree to change, disagree to change, who dares to make trouble, directly throw it to Liaodong to farm and open up wasteland, he is tired of this group of courtiers who are mediocre in ability and do not know the times, and get rid of them, just to replace a group of young and obedient tops.

"Your Majesty, Wang Shouren's law is really a disaster for the country and the people, and it is no less cruel and cruel than the ancient Shang Ying, Your Majesty can never agree to it!"

"Your Majesty, Wang Shouren's evil will cause a thousand years, Your Majesty must not be bewitched by him!"

"If Your Majesty does not withdraw his order, the old minister will pretend to die in this Fengtian Temple."

The ministers all hated Wang Yangming to death at this time, they were both civil officials, and they were all scholars, so why bother to embarrass each other, force them to death, and can't make a lot of money, what is the meaning of them being this official?

In order to prevent Zhu Houzhao and Wang Yangming from going crazy and making extremely unreasonable changes to the law, the ministers tried their best, and some even forced each other to die.

"Humph......"

With a cold snort, Zhu Houzhao's eyes showed murderous intent, a group of mediocre ministers, thinking that they could threaten him with death, it was really naïve, he was not his father Emperor Hongzhi, and his tolerance for them was very limited.

"Do you think that you can stop me from changing the law by forcing each other to die, I still say the same thing, you agree, you have to change, and if you don't agree, you have to change."

"It's okay if you want to die, I will never stop you, don't think that without you, the court can't function, the Ming Dynasty, there are many talents, you want to be an official, there are many people who can be officials, not a few of you."

"There is no Hanlin Scholar in the Hanlin Academy, and he can replace you at any time."

A merciless word shattered all the indignation of the ministers, and his head was already against the pillar, and the minister who was ready to die didn't want to die, so he silently withdrew his head.

Zhu Houzhao's words are difficult to hear, but they are indisputable facts, and the court has never lacked people.

There are many people who have the ability to replace them, and those people are young and energetic, far better than their obedience.

"Why, I don't want to die, so can I take you down for the crime of bullying the king."

Zhu Houzhao's anger has not decreased, and he has not sent anyone to Liaodong to farm for a long time, does it make them think that he Zhu Houzhao can't lift the knife!

"Your Majesty is innocent, please forgive your majesty."

The ministers were shocked.

"Liu Jin, check!"

In a word, it directly announced the end of those ministers who want to die or live, since they are disobedient, then go to Liaodong to learn to be obedient.

bang

A minister was so frightened that he was paralyzed to the ground, Liaodong, that is the hell of civil officials, and the civil officials who were assigned to farm in Liaodong, except for Liu Jian Xie Qian, who was specially taken care of, almost never came back alive, and all of them became a dry bone in the land of Liaodong that no one cared about.

"The slave obeys."

Liu Jin glanced at those ministers who wanted to die or live with compassion, a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes, he dared to contradict the emperor, and he didn't look at himself as a person, it was not that he had a harder mouth than you before, but as a result, he didn't let the emperor clean it up!

"If anyone dares to secretly obstruct the change of the law, I will move his entire clan to Liaodong and contribute to the development of the land of Liaodong."

Finally, he warned the ministers, if they still don't know the current affairs, then they can't blame Zhu Houzhao for being ruthless!

In the land of Liaodong, there is always a shortage of people!

Although he has made many people move to Liaodong over the years, the development situation of Liaodong is still not ideal, and more people are needed to fill it, and those officials who oppose the law change, as well as the power group behind them, are the new batch of Liaodong developers prepared by Zhu Houzhao.

The remnants of Fusang, King Ning's henchmen, and the officials who were previously assigned and are still alive, nobles, scholars, merchants, and Haoqiang, are all waiting for them to be their companions.

"The cadres are arbitrary, not inferior to Hongwu."

Regarding Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jian only has this eight-character evaluation, but it is not a positive evaluation.

Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, expelled the Tartars, restored China, and his merits can be called the first emperor of the ages, but in the eyes of the literati, Zhu Yuanzhang is a complete tyrant, and the Yongle Emperor who punished Fang Xiaoru and the ten clans is stronger than Zhu Yuanzhang, the empty seal case, the Guo Huan case, and the Hu Weiyong case, the officials who were killed are no less than the Lanyu case, and his cruelty and tyranny make countless literati tremble.

Today's Zhu Houzhao, the means of mutilating literati are even more ruthless, he rarely kills, but he will punish the heart, how many scholars have been broken by one move with Liaodong, and there are definitely more people who oppose the three changes of the law, but more people are afraid of Zhu Houzhao's methods and dare not stand up and openly oppose them.

If you oppose the change, you may not die, but if you go to Liaodong, you will definitely die, and you will even lose your dignity as a scholar.

With his own strength, the pressed scholars didn't even dare to speak, Zhu Houzhao was not inferior to Hongwu, he had surpassed Hongwu, and trampled the civilian-official group and the faces of the world's scholars into the ground.

Zhu Houzhao didn't know that Liu Jian compared him to Emperor Hongwu, even if he knew, he wouldn't care, let alone care about the thoughts of the civil official group, what the civil official group needed was a generous and benevolent monarch like his father Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youxian and Hongxi Emperor Zhu Gaochi, and he was destined to not become Emperor Hongzhi, let alone be lenient and merciful to a group of moths lying on the empire and sucking blood.

Under the whole world, it is not the king's land. On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister. What he wants is absolute control and submission, not sharing the world with scholars, who can only be pawns in his hands, not "allies" who share the world with him.

In essence, he is as different from Emperor Hongzhi and Emperor Hongxi as he is.

"Retreat."

With a wave of the sleeves of his robe, he announced his retirement from the dynasty, and the tone of the three changes has been set, and the next thing is to see Wang Yangming's operation, and he has absolute trust in this "My Sleeping Dragon".

......

"Brother Liu, Brother Xie, let's go goodbye, I don't know when I will see you again!"

After the next dynasty, the three giants of the cabinet got together, and Li Dongyang said with emotion, the three giants of the cabinet left by Emperor Hongzhi are still active in the court!

"Ha, if Brother Li is reluctant, you can ask Your Majesty for your resignation, go back with me, you and I will be neighbors, fill in the words and paint every day, leisurely landscapes, and enjoy your old age."

Xie Qian said with a smile.

"Brother Li, I will leave the matter of the court to you, don't cut off the seeds of my scholars."

Liu Jian solemnly asked Li Dongyang, now in the court, the only person who can speak in the civil official group is Li Dongyang!

In this regard, Li Dongyang can only give a wry smile, keep the seeds of the scholars, how to protect, how to protect, there is no one in the current civil official group who can carry the crown, Wang Wei, Fei Hong, Liu Yu, Yang Yiqing, Yang Tinghe, Yan Song and other generations, either they are separated from the civil official group, or they are simply Zhu Houzhao's loyal lackeys, can such a civil official group still be kept?
