On April 15, the Hope Day Meeting.

As an example, many people other than the court staff also participated, including Zhang Heling, whose crotch wound had healed.

The current court meeting is very boring, anyway, it's just etiquette.

After the National Policy Conference, His Majesty lived in seclusion.

Outside of the counselors, there are only a few who can see Your Majesty.

Ministers have gradually become accustomed to many big moves initiated from the national policy meeting, such as Zhang Fujing who went south to Guangdong last year, and Zhang Zilin who rushed to the southeast.

In the affairs of the imperial study, the counselors are tight-lipped as much as they say.

This point, the relatives are very understanding: although Cui Yuan knows a lot, he just doesn't say it!

When did this first appear?

Oh yes, it was after His Majesty ascended the throne last year that there was the fire of the Rijingmen, and later there was the resignation of Liang Chu, who tried the case of Qian Ning Jiangbin in the lobby of the Criminal Department.

After that, Wang Shouren went to the feast to debate the scriptures with Yang Gelao.

When Fei Hong and others arrived in Beijing one after another, the national policy meeting and the imperial study room were born, the cabinet ministers led the national policy, and the cabinet voted to draft six ministries basically according to the plan, and there were fewer and fewer things that could be discussed in the court.

How many people can stand in the Fengtian Hall and see His Majesty with their own eyes?

If you can't climb the position of the counselor, you can do your errand with peace of mind: the court meeting has been reduced, and Xiu Mu has also been enacted, so there shouldn't be more prevarication, right?

This is the new normal felt by ordinary court officials, so today they are still mechanically waiting for the court meeting ceremony to be completed.

Until the hall was unusual, a majestic voice came out: "Chen Feihong!" The impeachment of Yang Tinghe, a cabinet scholar, and the leakage of Chinese, caused his son Yang Shen, the prefect of Guangzhou, to recklessly move the country, and the world was in an uproar! ”

Inside and outside the Jingli Temple, the court counselors and unemployed relatives who could hear the voices were just about to wait for a while, so that the Honglu Temple officials could confirm that the "no book played" and the court meeting would end.

In April, a big melon fell from the sky.

What's going on in Guangzhou?

Fei Hong's voice continued.

"Yang Tinghe leaked Chinese, this is the first crime!"

"Yang Tinghe instigated Yang Shen to facilitate the investigation of the gentry and land in Guangzhou when the counselors did not agree on the national policy, and wanted to provoke the people to change so that the new law would gain power, and he was greedy for merit and did not care about the people's livelihood, which is the second crime!"

"Appoint cronies, promote new recruits, and recruit party henchmen. First of all, the Qian Ning Jiangbin case was implicated and bitten, so that the six ministers had many scruples for fear of being implicated and convicted, and gradually controlled the seat of the counselor, which is the third crime! ”

"Welcoming Your Majesty's grand wish to create a prosperous era, the fake change of the law to Zhongxing, I hope that the history will remain famous, and the government will be returned to himself, and the power of the traitor will be real. This is the fourth sin! ”

"Your Majesty wants to be governed, and the ministers should do their best! However, Yang Shen harassed the squires and demanded property in Guangzhou Mansion, and the students had no intention of preparing for the exam, and the people were all mistaken in the agricultural time! With the respect of the first assistant parent, the management under the rule is hard to speak, and the people's grievances in the land of a government are boiling! In such a dangerous situation, because Yang Tinghe disregarded the situation, he changed the law and greedy for merit! Looking through the annals of history, how can anyone change the law be so careless? When does this really have to change? The Yang father and son acted like this, and really wanted to assist His Majesty in creating a prosperous world? Your Majesty! ”

The sound of cannons echoed inside and outside the Fengtian Palace, and the court counselors and unemployed relatives almost thought that they had heard it wrong.

But strangely, there was a brief silence in the hall.

Yang Tinghe just calmly didn't speak, and His Majesty on the throne didn't say anything.

Guangdong's new law has touched people's hearts, and the center has been talking about it secretly, but today, has the contradiction finally broken out at the court meeting?

Fei Hong, who returned to the court in June last year, bravely stood up for everyone's field!

In an instant, they either opened their mouths wide or lowered their heads in a panic and began to think.

But it's a little wrong: Yang Tinghe was trampled on by His Majesty so badly during His Majesty's first court meeting, and everything went on steadily, not like such a fierce person.

Now, is it like Fei Hong said that he is using the law to change the law in order to seize power, or is there any other plan?

It's a little weird, I can't understand it, let's take a look again.

Today is naturally a group drama, and Mao Ji was the first to stand up and refute: "Minister Mao Ji impeached Fei Hong for not complying with the regulations of the National Policy Conference and leaking his business in vain, please Your Majesty dismiss him and punish him!" ”

Everyone watching the play was unhappy: there are some things that need to be kept secret, and we can understand, but what a big deal is the new law, we can't listen to it and discuss it when we enter the court as officials?

Shi Xuan also stood up: "Yang Shen only inquired about the gentry in the Guangzhou Mansion, and did not implement any new system. Why is Philadelphia so alarmist? It's time to reinvent the fish scale book and the yellow book! ”

Zhang Zilin was not to be left behind: "The ministers went to the southeast of the Governor's Constitution, and the people everywhere they went were enslaved!" The land of wealth is so leisurely, and Scholar Fei thinks that it is not time to change the law, so why not eat minced meat! ”

Li Chongsi's eyes were dangerous: "Scholar Fei impeached Yang Ge's old Luo weaving henchmen for holding the seat to participate in politics, and I only took office last month to participate in the national policy meeting, could it be that Fei Scholar is the henchman in the mouth?" ”

The courtiers who ate melons were stunned: Do you seem to be less important, Fei Hong is stabbing a hornet's nest? Yang Tinghe hasn't defended himself yet, but four counselors have jumped out to speak for Yang Tinghe or Xinfa.

Yang Tinghe stood there doing psychological construction.

You gang of people who kill a thousand knives, anyway, I am on top, so pretend to be "henchmen" first?

He let out a long sigh and said, "It is well known to the Manchu Dynasty that the dog has been serving in the Hanlin Academy since he came out. He was taught by the saints to be loyal to the king and serve the country and protect the land and the people. Zichong impeached the minister for leaking Chinese, and there was no such thing. It's just that the dog has seen with his own eyes how difficult the people's livelihood is, and his spirit is difficult to calm down, so that he acts seriously, and that is there. ”

Yang Tinghe turned his head and looked at Fei Hong sincerely: "Your Majesty has a grand wish to make the Ming Dynasty prosperous, and the income will be ten times as old." At the national policy meeting, we discussed good policies, and didn't everything still be decided? If I already hold the seat of the councilor, why should I not make a decision? Zichong, it's just an old grudge in the past, why is it so heartbroken? ”

The two looked at each other and did not back down.

But before Fei Hong knelt down to impeach, Yang Tinghe only came out to defend himself, but this time he looked down and looked up, which made Yang Tinghe more powerful.

Yang Tinghe turned to the civil and military officials, "It's just that now the people's fields are getting less and the more conscription is getting heavier!" The country has been raising soldiers for more than 100 years, and the upper cannot solve the worries of the monarch, and the lower cannot settle the people's livelihood, what is the face of living in the temple? ”

After saying this impassionedly, he turned around and knelt down to Zhu Houxi, and said excitedly: "Although Your Majesty is the successor of the vassal king, he is talented and wise!" Your Majesty wants to make the Ming Dynasty rise again, and the minister has been thinking about reforming and trying to innovate for a long time! His Majesty knew the difficulty, so he pardoned the courtiers for repeated offenses; The minister also knew the difficulty, so he asked the new law to choose a province to try first, and then discuss it well before the national policy meeting! ”

"The ministers drafted the edict of His Majesty's accession to the throne, and all the things requested to abolish the indiscriminate and clean up the Huangzhuang Huangdian were all agreed to be completed! His Majesty asked why the country was rich, and the minister said that the new law should be implemented. Now that Scholar Fei has impeached the minister for four major crimes, the dispute between the old and new laws has been exposed to the government and the opposition. The minister once said that enslavement is the foundation of a rich country, and it is constrained both internally and externally, and if it is not moved, there is no hope for a rich country. ”

The courtiers who ate melons heard the self-defense arguments of the parties, and they heard the ins and outs clearly.

The emperor wanted to enrich the country, and Yang Tinghe's answer was to change the law.

Don't look at His Majesty's accession to the throne before and after stepping on Yang Tinghe, and Yang Tinghe demonstrating again in the lobby of the Criminal Department, but in the general direction, the monarchs and ministers are the same.

Is this the reason why Yang Tinghe's position has never been shaken?

Now, Fei Hong is what Yang Tinghe said about the constraints, so what is the need for His Majesty's holy judgment?

A new determination to support Yang Ting and reform the malpractice! Establish enough authority for him!

But why does it feel a bit fake?

"Your Majesty!" Sun Jiao suddenly stood up and said, "The ministers think that at this time, since they have been openly discussed in the court meeting, they should brainstorm and let the ministers express their opinions. Should the new law be tried now, what other methods can enrich the country, and with the concerted efforts, the court will not be controversial, and you must not make a hasty decision! ”

Everyone is confused.

Sun Jiao, the emperor's fellow countryman, replaced Yuan Zonggao as the leader of the imperial party. He spoke solemnly, but he was faintly on Fei Hong's side.

Is His Majesty and Yang Tinghe really the same in terms of changing the law?

The national policy meeting, which has been closed for ten months, has been filled with fog.

At first, they thought it was just a court debate, just a myriad of strategic controversies.

It wasn't until the debate that in the months that followed that it affected almost everyone, with blood......

……

When I received the reply from the capital, it was already late April in Guangdong.

Yang Shen had already visited the county border near Huizhou Prefecture, and Gui Cao had come to visit him.

Gui Cao's small eyes were full of incredulity, and he looked at Yang Shen's much darker face and said in a loud voice: "With cultivation, there is the style of the ancients, disrespect, disrespect......"

Rao is Gui Cao, and he only dares to think about unifying the rules, narrowing the space for officials to work on and down, and making the burden on the people a little less.

He never dared to think of using a knife directly against the gentry and wealthy households.

Yang Shen was followed by three talented people.

It's true that it's not bumpy, anyway, everywhere they go is to eat and live in the gentry's house, but their current psychological state is not very good.

Every day seems to be standing on the top of a turbulent undercurrent, and everyone knows what Yang Shen's actions mean.

The soldiers of the Yamen of the Zhensi were protecting Yang Shen, and the officials of the Guangzhou Prefecture were all there, so it was impossible to kill him in person. But behind the smiling face that is strongly supported is resentment, anger, and murderous energy, and the three talents can feel it.

Walking among the countryside, seeing the weak and sick villagers working in the fields, and the trembling attitude of the officials and officials, also fell into their eyes.

Their feelings towards Yang Shen were very similar to the current Gui Cao, and they saw the resolute Yang Shen say in a deep voice: "What kind of style of the ancients? It's nothing more than taking advantage of the authority of his father to act recklessly. I don't care how the court decides, I just don't want to be ashamed of the sages I read. ”

After a period of time, Yang Shen dropped his bookbag less and less.

The two were chatting at the county border, and a team of honor guards arrived in a hurry not far away.

"Mansion ...... Oh, Gui Fuzun is also there. After saluting them, the people who came first said anxiously to Yang Shen, "The imperial court has a decree to come down, Senator Huang will write to the government office, please return to the government office to receive the decree quickly!" ”

The guard of honor was the guard of honor who came to pick up Yang Shen, and the sedan chair man carried the empty sedan chair in the field, which seemed to be in a hurry.

"So fast." Yang Shen calculated the time, and then said to the relieved fellow intellectuals and general judges next to him, "This mansion will return to the government to receive the order, and you will continue to visit and inquire on behalf of the mansion!" ”

“…… Be. "I scolded Yang Shen in my heart, and they could only obey orders.

"Brother Zishi, I'll go first, and I'll ask for advice another day!"

Seeing Yang Shen walk neatly towards the guard of honor, Gui Cao's small eyes were full of sighs: What a strong man.

But where is this going?

In the city of Guangzhou, someone knew about the situation at the court meeting two days after the secret decree was issued earlier than Yang Shen.

Today happened to be the birthday of a certain squire, and on the occasion of the birthday banquet, there were many people in the study of the master's house.

"Now it seems that the Jiang family proposed to withdraw shares at the beginning of the month, which is really not good!" The person who spoke had a gloomy face, "There is news from Nanjing, Jiang Sheng has resigned on the grounds that his brothers are in the same high position, and the resignation form should not have been handed to the imperial front!" ”

"Your Majesty's secret order went to Guangzhou, and I heard that only Zhang Zuo, Huang Zuo, Yang Buxiu and that Wei Bin obeyed the order." Someone's voice was very frightened, "Wei Bin is Jiang Bin's in-law, why hasn't he died yet?" Fu Lun committed suicide, he was fine, is His Majesty protecting him or Yang Tinghe protecting him? ”

After all, many things in the imperial court are also foggy to them, and now the water in the imperial court is even more muddy.

The gentleman who often appeared on the Yuanying Tower was also here, and he said with a sharp look in his eyes: "It doesn't matter anymore!" Let's try to dissect the current situation. ”

"Cunzhong, say it quickly!"

Zheng Cunzhong, the son of Guangzhou Mansion, put together the folding fan and said: "Your Majesty, the vassal king is the successor, and the most important thing I think about day and night must be the stability of the throne!" The remnants of the Eight Tigers, Zhang Yong, Wei Bin, and Gu Dayong are all alive, and it is only possible if all parties need to rely on them! According to the younger generation, this change is actually not only the reason for the emperor to find out, but also the reason for Yang Tinghe! ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"How many years has Yang Tinghe been entrenched in the court? Protégés are all over the world! How full do Guo Xun and Chen Jin eat in Guangdong? Wang Qiong's people have all been close to the ministers and fortunate ministers. His Majesty reuses them, but Qingliu does not agree! If Yang Tinghe doesn't chase and fight, he can always hold these handles. Your Majesty always wants to use people to govern the country, and it is the best policy to stir up different opinions. Have you forgotten the fire of the Nisseimun? ”

The crowd was thoughtful.

Zheng Cunzhong continued to say confidently: "Once the son of heaven and a courtier, His Majesty the successor of the vassal king, it is absolutely difficult to tolerate Yang Tinghe and continue to control the dynasty. The succession is not the heir, but only the prestige is simple, so that the will can reach the local but cannot bypass the layers of government! If Your Majesty is as stable as Mount Tai, why should Fu Lun commit suicide? He is helping His Majesty and the palace! Only by changing the law and letting Yang Tinghe have to take up this important matter can he prevent His Majesty from continuously promoting new ministers who change the law. ”

"According to the younger generation, Yang Tinghe does not really want to change the law, but uses the law to seize power and arbitrarily seize power! Otherwise, if you really want to change the law, how can you have Yang Shen's brutal approach? Otherwise, why should Sun Jiao let the courtiers discuss together? Don't forget, the lord of the harem has already decided that she is the daughter of Sun Jiao! Zheng Cunzhong said with emotion, "Your Majesty set up the imperial study and set up the national policy meeting, originally to divide the power of Yang Tinghe. But I didn't expect that after a few incidents, there were more and more people in Yang Tinghe. Most of the people who are protected by His Majesty are still guilty! ”

"What are we to do in the opinion of loyalty?"

Zheng Cunzhong once again neatly opened the folding fan: "Fanning the wind!" The world is in turmoil, Yang Tinghe wants to use this fire to let His Majesty see that governing the country still depends on his people, and His Majesty wants to use this fire to let the gentry of the world first target Yang Tinghe and his henchmen! One by one, they are fighting for power above, and they have disturbed our place. Light the fire, the imperial party will use it, and Fei Hong will also use it. Yang Tinghe wants His Majesty to bow his head in state affairs, and he will also take advantage of it. ”

"Therefore, it doesn't matter who Wei Bin is protecting, His Majesty's legal system is stable, and the will to hold the power in the next step is the most important! Since the dispute over the new law has shifted from the national policy meeting to the court, it means that Yang Tinghe can't hold it down for the time being! Fei Hong is still in the past ten months, and if he doesn't make a sound, he is already in trouble, and he is sure! Didn't His Majesty summon him to return to the court as a replacement for Yang Tinghe? ”

All kinds of inexplicable conjectures are spread everywhere, and everyone can analyze them according to everyone's previous statements and positions.

Did the counselors take all the details into account for these assertions?

Wang Shouren, who was guarding filial piety for his father in Jiangxi, also received a secret decree, and was speechless for a long time after reading it: It's a bit big, Your Majesty......
