In October of the tenth year of Zhengde, the cabinet was ashamed of Yang Yiqing's entry into the palace and then admonished the emperor, asked Zhang Xuan to be dismissed, and refuted his negligence.

The emperor did not allow it.

And so things began to ferment.

After the matter spread, there was an uproar in the whole dynasty, and all the ministers handed in the palace, either to see the emperor, or to open an early court to discuss the matter.

There are even courtiers who directly said in the recital: At the beginning of His Majesty's reign, he lectured on learning and cultivating virtues, respected the heavens and diligent people, and knew everything, and everyone in the world thought that the rule of Yao Shun could be just around the corner. However, in recent years, it is not a beautiful thing to see the dynasty late, or the day is getting higher.

This is to directly take Zhu Houzhao and not make things happen in the future.

In fact, after the Ming and Qing dynasties, the early dynasty has become a kind of ritual, that is, a symbol of diligence.

And in a place as big as the Qianqing Palace, there are not many people standing.

The conference does small things, and small meetings do big things, and that's what it is. This time I was in a hurry, nothing more than wanting to meet the emperor together.

Not only that, Zhang Xuan also began to be attacked because of his bad popularity.

Zhu Houzhao opened it up, that is, he was 'arrogant and wanton, and connived at his relatives to seize the people's land'. No one knows about this kind of thing, anyway, it's a rumor. came out and said that he was a relative of Zhang Xuan, and then it was not impossible to do nonsense.

Put down one book, open another one, and scold Zhang Xuan again for 'seducing the king for profit and ill-intentioned,'

He also said, 'Your Majesty is deep in the ninefold, and the ministers of the road are afraid of sin and silent', hoping that the emperor can 'repeat the dynasty of things, and stay away from the evil people'.

Syllable!

You Ji on the side trembled in fright.

I only heard the emperor angrily push down all the songs, and said, "Don't look at it!" Take it all! ”

"Hurry up," You Di's head tilted back slightly, and he made a gesture in his hand to ask a few chamberlains to clean up this place, and he himself stepped forward to laugh, "Your Majesty is angry, although state affairs are important, you can't ignore the dragon body." Besides, it's been approved for two hours, so I let it go, and nothing big will happen. ”

Zhu Houzhao rubbed his eyebrows, "You Ji, do you say that I sometimes treat them too generously, so that they dare to open their mouths at will, even if they don't have brains, they dare to send them to the Imperial Palace!" ”

"Your Majesty...... Naturally, they are generous and benevolent, and the slaves and maids are Your Majesty, perhaps because of their lenient words, most of the time they do not criticize the courtiers in words, so that they become more and more bold and reckless. ”

There is this possibility, because Zhu Houzhao is not the real emperor after all.

He will give people two contradictions, or two unpleasant words, and he will not turn his face right away. This was brought by the previous life, he always felt that what could he do?

In fact, in court life, saying a wrong word to the emperor can cause you to lose your head.

But there is no way to do it, and it makes no sense to study this in detail at this moment.

"You put away all these pieces and send them to the attendant room, let them identify them, pick out those that have nothing to do with Zhang Cong, and don't look at the others!"

"Yes, slave and maid."

"Also, Ming issued a will, summon Zhang Cong into the palace tomorrow to play right, and the others, I will not see any of them!"

Angry people who won't, fucking pissed off you.

"That's all for today." Zhu Houzhao pointed to the big stall, "You ordered someone to clean it up." I'm going to Kunning Palace. ”

I didn't look at it, and went to the harem to relax.

Without the will of the Son of Heaven, no matter how fierce these scoldings are, can anyone else take it upon themselves to arrest Zhang Cong?

Isn't he a weak young master, dozens or hundreds of officials want to scare him when they make a little noise?

How is this possible.

Even if all these people resigned and resigned, Zhu Houzhao was also not afraid.

Zhu Yuanzhang killed the officials to the point that they were not enough, and they were fine.

The experience of his previous life told him that the most important thing in the bureaucratic system must be the affairs officer, that is, the person who does the specific work, the head is useful, but it is okay to lack the head for a period of time, but the person who does the work below cannot be missing.

These people are small people who don't take the lead much, and they will not give up their official positions easily.

Only those clear streams, they can't do anything concrete, and they feel that they can't do without him.

Anyway, he made this preparation.

And there is a possibility of this.

Historically, when Liu Jin troubled the dynasty, many ministers were angry, and now everyone thinks that Zhang Cong is a traitor who fooled the emperor, if the Son of Heaven never listens to persuasion, then it is estimated that there will be ministers who will hand in their resignations to show their determination.

It doesn't matter, he has to summon Zhang Cong now, and it depends on what these people can do if he doesn't agree!

In the attendant's room, Jin Gui was anxious, Xie Pi and Jing Yang were a little uneasy, both of them were still young and had never seen this kind of flood-like performance.

As a result, the emperor taught two lessons.

"The court is in turmoil, and I am in front of you to stand up, what are you panicking about?" Zhu Houzhao said unceremoniously, "If you want to join this group of people to admonish me, take this heart as soon as possible, or you will be the first person to abandon the official position, otherwise you will do things in peace." I'm still afraid of this?! ”

"Don't dare!"

"Get up and get to work."

"Yes."

Zhu Houzhao pinched his waist, paced back and forth quickly, and after thinking about it, he felt that he would wait until he saw Zhang Cong tomorrow.

Of course, Zhang Cong himself knew the impact of that note, but he also knew that Emperor Zhengde was not an ordinary lord of weakness, and a few impeachment letters would kill him.

But that doesn't mean it's all right.

It's just getting started.

The emperor proposed an exemption, which was a goal, not a measure.

Why did this target come to him?

Why don't you find someone else?

Because it is only the support of the Son of Heaven, it is impossible to do this by giving an order as if 'regardless of it'.

Under this goal, you have to have concrete measures, at least a rough direction.

This part needs to be provided by him.

That's why he was looking for him and not anyone else, because the emperor believed that he could do it.

So after hearing the will to pass him into the palace for an audience, Zhang Cong suddenly became nervous.

When he sees you tomorrow, he must say one, two, three, and then the emperor decides categorically: Okay, let's do it! Thousands of difficulties, even if you fight a bloody way, anyway, you will go towards this goal!

That's what it looks like to do things.

But Zhang Cong actually felt strange in his heart,

Such a big thing, how could the emperor believe that he Zhang Cong could do it? Of course, this thought was only fleeting.

This is Zhu Houzhao's prophetic memory helping, because Zhang Cong's later generations are not only a politician, but also a reformer, and a very capable first assistant of the Ming generation!

The record of him in the "History of the Ming Dynasty" is that he said: Qing Xun Qi Zhuangtian, the world guarded the ministers, and he was exhausted one after another, all of which were within his strength.

In other words, it's all his credit!

Basically, it can be said that in this era and this kind of difficult government affairs, if Zhang Cong can't do it, then looking for others is just trying his luck.

The next day, the streets of Jingshi were still as usual, and the order was still there, but the undercurrent was surging, and many people were passing news to each other in private, and each family would send someone to watch the palace gate.

Of course, it is rare to know that Zhang Cong entered the palace, and the scene of walking slowly in a red robe is hated by many people.

The Son of Heaven summoned him anyway!

And in the palace,

Zhu Houzhao gave Zhang Cong a seat, with a posture of making him a confidant.

"Today, I summoned Aiqing to come, and I won't talk about everything inside and outside the palace, just talk about one thing, how to do it."

Zhang Cong came prepared, he took out something from his cuff, "Your Majesty told Weichen that day, Weichen thought hard day and night, and in the past few days, he has also gained, and today he is willing to present it to the emperor for the imperial review." ”

"What are you going to do?" Zhu Houzhao's face tightened.

"First, the law is enacted. As the minister said before, if you want to remove the preferential exemption, it is necessary to clear the acres of land, and clearing the acres of land is a difficult matter for the ages, so the imperial court must issue an order to clear the fields, force the local officials to cooperate, and clarify the scope, methods, procedures and responsible persons of the Qingzhang. ”

The word responsible person, Zhu Houzhao always uses it to scare people, and now these people will also talk about it.

"Well, what's next?"

"Second, the personnel ......"
