"Your Majesty, the courtier's heart is unclear."

The door of the Wuying Hall was wide open, and the ministers rushed out, but Li Congyuan stayed.

Standing in the middle of the hall, he looked up at the young monarch sitting on the throne.

"Your Majesty, you are in too much of a hurry."

Broken snow blew in in the wind from outside the unclosed temple gate, Li Congyuan lowered his eyes and arched his hands in front of him.

If it was said that His Majesty had cleared the old accounts of the Taifu Temple before, he had tried his best to promote it, and when His Majesty enabled female officials, he was happy to see it, but this time His Majesty directly let female officials enter the six departments, he only felt that His Majesty was really in a hurry.

There are only a few hundred female officials in the court and the middle of the court, most of them are still older female officials from the depths of the former palace. Today, in Li Congyuan's eyes, His Majesty is already rushing ducks to the shelves, and it just so happens that there are not many ducks, and there are still a lot of jackals, tigers and leopards on the shelves.

"Your Majesty, Taizu set up the Six Divisions to supervise the ...... of the Six Divisions."

"How do I not know? Jinshi, Hanlin, and the six branches are in the middle of things, and then they are released to make a platform, or they are promoted in the six departments in order. Now that the six branches have become a place where women can also go, those Hanlin are afraid that they will turn the world upside down." qs

Li Congyuan was silent.

He himself is a member of the imperial examination, so he naturally understands the twists and turns, and because he understands, he also knows better how angry and crazy those Hanlin people will be when they see their future being taken over by women.

"It's been 200 years since the Great Yongli Dynasty." Shen Shiqing sighed, "Studying and starting a career, if you win the promotion, you can be exempted from paying taxes, so someone brings a land deed to ...... The ancestors read, the descendants read, the ancestors got the field, and the descendants kept the field. Li Shangshu, if I ask these people to hand over the fields, will they agree?"

Obviously talking about female officials, Li Congyuan didn't understand, why His Majesty suddenly talked about the fields, the matter of the official gentry's field grain was a big matter, he could only ponder for a moment before responding:

"Your Majesty, this matter, the scholars in the world are naturally unwilling."

"Yes, they won't, so what will happen to them?"

His Majesty's tone was very brisk, as if he was just asking Li Congyuan if he wanted to drink a cup of tea and eat a piece of snack.

Li Congyuan felt a gust of wind blowing in from outside the hall, condensing into a snake made of ice, climbing his spine and winding up.

"Your Majesty."

Flicking the corners of his robe, he fell to his knees.

"Why did Li Shangshu kneel?" Shen Shiqing stood up with a smile and walked down quickly to help him up.

"Your Majesty......"

"Dayong, the country is governed by the official gentry, the officials are in the court, the gentry are in the opposition, they are favored by the emperor, they hold power in their hands, and they step on the ground, just by relying on the article that they do not need to pay taxes, they are entrenched above the people."

dragging Li Congyuan's shoulder with one hand, Shen Shiqing had a smile at the corner of his lips and eyes.

"They think that I can't leave them, and Dayong can't leave them."

As one of them, Li Congyuan had nothing to say.

Shen Shiqing looked at his lowered eyebrows closely, and his tone was gentle:

"Li Shangshu, Dayong's current one-year field endowment is lower than when he became an ancestor, and if I want to go on a northern expedition to the west, I have to fatten up a Zhang Play first, and then kill him. What if I still want to wave my troops south? I still want to pacify the Japanese invaders? Who am I going to raise?"

"Is it to raise another eunuch? Or do you want to raise another female cadre? Is it the chickens, dogs, cats and mice around me? Or how many cabinet elders are there? Yang Zhai, or you, Li Congyuan?"

In an instant, Li Congyuan's face turned pale.

"If you fatten up a huge greed, you have to sharpen a knife again, and so on, it is party strife, a huge court, everyone thinks about forming a party, and everyone thinks about fighting each other. Who will think of the people of Dayong, who will think of them? When did the two Duqin Durben in the northwest make a comeback? Are the Jurchens in the Northeast really only willing to retreat to the white mountains and black waters? The Japanese ronins in the southeast gradually became a climate, and they dared to besiege the county seat. And the vassal king, why don't I have those unsightly thoughts, and I still have to raise defenders everywhere to guard against them. Under the excesses of taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the people of the Central Plains, which can be called the paradise of the Celestial Empire, have emerged one after another."

As soon as the corners of the robe turned, Shen Shiqing walked quickly to the back of the throne, where she had ordered her to hang a picture of Dayong.

"Li Shangshu, my ancestors laid down the country of Dayong, and shared the world with the gentry, and for two hundred years, they have forgotten who this world is."

The slender and powerful hand slapped firmly on the map.

Li Congyuan didn't expect that he originally wanted to persuade His Majesty to slowly figure it out, but His Majesty lifted his skull and poured a spoonful of boiling oil into it.

"Your Majesty, may, may...... Dayong is now stable, although there are some dissonances, in the end, ......."

"You said it, that's now." Shen Shiqing put her hands behind her back, and she was also looking at the map.

"Dayong, is there another two hundred years?"

This statement was earth-shattering, Li Congyuan opened his mouth and closed it again.

He has always been a humble gentleman, but at this time, there are some dark and obscure thoughts in his heart.

It's time to bring back all the courtiers who just quit! Let them hear these words of His Majesty! I'm afraid there is not a single one who can still stand like him.

He looked up slightly at the young man's back.

Before His Majesty was established as the crown prince by the first emperor, he was a bachelor in the East Palace, although he was not as good as Shen Shao, he also watched the stubborn King Zhaoqin step by step to today.

But today, he felt that the figure of this young genius was a little blurry.

When?

When did His Majesty, who had been looking forward to becoming a Ming monarch, have such a deep mind, he sat on the top and looked at them, and the ministers were also looking at him, and when did he begin to abandon those techniques of power, put Dayong in his heart, and looked at the far back?

Mingzong Jingzong is the master of the master, and he sits idly by for the party struggle between the DPRK and China, and he originally thought that although His Majesty has the heart of external progress, it is only the same internally.

Now, he was convinced that His Majesty was going to take a completely different path from the previous emperors.

No, it should be said that His Majesty in the past few months, and His Majesty in the past, have parted ways.

"Li Shangshu, you just told me that I let the female officer enter the sixth department too quickly."

Shen Shiqing turned around.

"I think it's too slow. Taizu set up the Jinyi Guard, the Imperial Procuratorate, the imperial history of each province, and the six departments, Chengzu set up the East Factory, Suzong supported the eunuchs, and Shenzong set up the West Factory, and so on just because they wanted to beat the gentry of the world. But now the procuratorate is overwhelmed, the six departments have become a place of fame and fame, and there is no shortage of corpses in the imperial history, and the eunuchs have shaken the country several times after taking power. The comfortable life of the gentry has been too long, and someone should ring the gong in their ears to let them know that this world is not indispensable to them. Is there anything closer to them than a woman?"

"The more hostile the gentry are to the female officials, the more loyal the female officials will be, and the more they suppress the female officials, the more the women who have been trampled into the mud will try their best to climb up, but I have given them a ladder...... When the day comes, the women who can no longer be suppressed begin to ask for their fields and land, and they will naturally kick down those officials and gentry who are useless in the country for me, and get back the fields that those gentry should pay for me."

Shen Shiqing smiled.

Li Congyuan was trembling.

Yes, it's going to be a long time before we get there.

Compared to that moment, everything at this moment is just the beginning.

"Your Majesty."

"Li Shangshu, do you think that women don't know anything, they have to be helped up and raised first, and there are enough female officials before the next step, so you think I am too fast."

"I just think that those women haven't walked in front of me yet, it's really, too slow."
