Chapter 19: Change (2nd Update)
A month passed, and the deadline for Yang Sanyuan's decree arrived.
On this day, Yang Sanyuan appeared in front of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion early in the morning, and behind him, there were Beijing officials in various official robes.
They are the representatives of the country's scholars, holding 90 percent of the country's rights, what the people of the country eat, drink, and live...... It can be said that it is up to them to decide.
And today, more than 300 of them, under the leadership of Prime Minister Yang Sanyuandi, will go straight to the palace, and they will use the strength they have at their disposal to fight against the strongest group of Jianghu people in this country - the royal family.
Yang Sanyuan stood tall in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and after he waited for the last person to arrive, he slowly turned around to face everyone.
"What this country needs is order, and this country doesn't need so many people who don't obey the government's orders. ”
"Each of us works hard, we calculate the time of the day, and urge the people to work hard; we sit day and night, punishing the evil and promoting the good, but we can't arrest some people who kill people!"
"The laws we make with the teachings of the saints can escape some people, and we use the natural way to cultivate our bodies, but we cannot defeat those who stand rampantly outside the law. ”
"What does that mean?"
"This can only mean one thing: our country has a problem, and our country needs us to stand up and help him correct the way!"
When Yang Sanyuan said this, his right fist was raised, and he put his fist to the corner of his mouth.
"Today, I, Yang Sanyuan, swear: unless His Majesty the Emperor is willing to make real innovations, otherwise, ...... There will not be a single scholar in this country who will stand up to be an official, and there will not be even a single child who will come out to run this huge country for him!"
"If you are with me on this path, please come with me!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around, his steps were steady, the two mustaches on his lips were coldly constricted, and the nasolabial folds at the center of his eyebrows were embedded in the center of his forehead like a sword, so that any passer-by looked in awe and did not dare to meet his gaze.
When he walked towards the palace, the more than 300 officials standing behind him were in an uproar, and immediately, in the words of several officials he had arranged for a long time, everyone began to be indignant.
"Everyone, listen to me, listen to me!"
"The Prime Minister has no intention of usurping the throne, he just wants to restrict the freedom of the Jianghu people, he just wants to make our country's society more stable, and he just wants our people to live in a safer environment. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, Master Li is right...... Do you think it's fair that when you sleep, your home can be invaded by the Jianghu people casually, and we work hard to earn some money, and we all give it to protect those Jianghu people, do you think it's fair?"
"Today, let's go to His Majesty the Emperor to have a good talk, we believe that Your Majesty must be a holy monarch, he will definitely be able to listen to our opinions, start with the royal family, and start to rectify our country!"
"The prime minister is the first virtuous minister in the ages...... He has put his own life and death and his reputation on the line! Colleagues, if there is an iron backbone, the court can follow me to keep up with the pace of the prime minister!"
..................
These people were all prepared for a long time, and they quickly unified the minds of the officials.
It's not that no one doubts the original intentions of these people, but when everyone around them is indignant, when everyone thinks of themselves as righteous, the voice of a person who understands is like a small wave on the sea, no one pays attention at all.
Moreover, you can't leave even if you want to, if you dare to retreat at this time, you will only be beaten to death by those people around you who are in fierce emotions, because everyone is on, can you still be a deserter?
Yang Sanyuan walked in front, followed by three hundred scholars who were at least all scholars in the realm of Jinshi, they were extremely proficient in poetry, words to saints, micro-words and righteousness, and intensive research articles, even if there were 100,000 troops, in front of these people, they didn't want to have half a point of resistance, let alone him, a quasi-saint powerhouse.
"If the Great Confucian wants to step into the holy realm, he must establish morality, words, and deeds, and as long as I can complete this reform and push the white country to a new level, then my holy path will be considered to have entered. ”
Yang Sanyuan's action was very grand, before that, except for the three decrees a month ago, there was no other warning, as soon as he launched, it really scared many people.
In the capital, not all of them are high-grade officials, but there are also several times or dozens of times the number of officials, these people are not qualified to participate in this kind of thing, but watching those adults wearing various official robes passing by on the street, they still can't help but be infected by their momentum, there are young officials who are hot-tempered and angry, and even rush into the street to join these people despite the obstruction of their families.
This is something Yang Sanyuan didn't expect, he was very excited: Hehe...... It seems that the people want it...... Old Emperor, you should die too!
And the emperor of this country, he received a report from Jinyiwei for the first time, and the people in the east and west factories were not as fast as Jinyiwei, which surprised the old emperor.
Originally, early this morning, King Xuanwu entered the palace to talk to the old emperor, Xue Zha talked to the old emperor about his understanding of "scholars" and "Jianghu people" once, this twilight old man, actually gave birth to a young man's interest, this more than half a month, he often asked Xue Zha to come early in the morning, and the two discussed the specific matters of reforming the White Kingdom.
Today is the same, but as soon as the two of them sat down to drink tea and were talking about some idle days, the boss of Jinyiwei, a military attache wearing a bullfighting suit, strode in with a big belly and a royal belt.
"Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"What's the matter, what's the hurry, you're a second-grade master, and you don't run to me all year round, what kind of wind is blowing you over today?"
The old emperor first scolded the visitor, and then asked the eunuch to give him a seat, and pointed to the tea in front of him and said, "Slow down, take a sip of tea first, and then talk slowly, what happened if someone rebelled?"
"No, Your Majesty, really...... There are really people who are rebelling, Your Majesty!"
This person also seems to be an anxious person, he doesn't care about Xue Zha's side, and he is not afraid of how shocking his words are, he directly told Yang Sanyuan that he was going to enter the palace to force the public.
"All in all, Your Majesty, I think that group of scholars this time is really playing, if you are not careful, let's ...... We, the masters of the White Country, may have to compensate for the disobedient Jianghu people who were pulled off the horse......"
The old emperor frowned, it was not difficult for him to hear his attitude from the mouth of this nobleman.
"Do you think that we have reached the point of losing the car to protect the commander, at this time, agree to Yang Sanyuan's request, so that all the people in the rivers and lakes across the country will be put on the reins, so that our army will be expanded, our country will be strong, and your and my position, glory and wealth can also be stabilized?"
When the old emperor said "glory and wealth", Xue Zha could see a fleeting crown above his head, no need to ask, this is also a strong man in the royal realm, and he invisibly launched his royal realm idiom.
As soon as "Glory and Wealth" came out, the commander of the brocade guard wearing a bullfighting robe made Deng Tao stand up directly, he was like a chicken blood, his face was red, and his snort was heavy, so he pressed the knife around his waist and turned around to go out to fight.
But Xue Qi felt that he couldn't solve the problem by doing his own thing, and if this matter was handled well, Yang Sanyuan might make a wedding dress for him.
"Your Majesty, you might as well listen to me!"
Xue Zha got up, and he politely bowed his hand and said with a smile that was holding the wisdom bead of a dog-headed military advisor.
