Chapter two hundred and eighty six canonized prince
The morning court was in trouble because of the foundation of the country and the new law. As soon as the court dispersed, the court blocked Wang Jiaping and shouted: "Wang Jiaping! The new law has great benefits for the country and the people. Why did you propose to abolish it today!"
Wang Jiaping retorted disapprovingly: "For the country and the people? It may not be! Those mud legs that dig out from the soil are worthy of becoming the people?"
Mr. Shen, don’t forget that your family is a farming and studying family, and there are also a lot of land in the family, and there are no more taxes paid every year!”
"You..." Shen Shixing was speechless for a moment, and when he thought of someone from home crying, his face was moved.
Seeing this, Wang Jiaping smiled and bowed, "Old Ge, Mr. Shen! Our scholars are the examples of all people and the representatives of all people.
The new law competes with the people for profit, and must be abolished, otherwise the people will be unstable and the great Ming Dynasty will be in danger!"
Shen Shixing didn't know how to return home, and locked himself in the study room without seeing anyone. Since becoming the chief minister, he has been working diligently and dealing with various forces. Even if he is called a peacemaker, he has no complaints. He is afraid that Xing will make mistakes and destroy the hard-won prosperous era of the Ming Dynasty.
If it continues to develop according to the present, within ten years, the national strength of the Ming Dynasty will sweep away all obstacles. Even if the grassland is completely occupied, it will be easy to regain Annan Capital.
But all this requires a prerequisite, that is, the country is rich and the people are strong. Without the new law, the Ming Dynasty will return to its lifeless appearance. Is that what I want to see?
Shen Shixing also understood that if he did not have the courage and means of Zhang Juzheng, he would be difficult to achieve a good end if he really stood opposite to the scholar-officials.
That night, Shen Shixing did not walk out of the study, and the candlelight was always swaying and never extinguished.
In the imperial study in the Qianqing Palace, Xiao Zhu was also restless. He understood Wang Jiaping's approach, which was to make a fuss about the country's foundation.
If the new law is abolished, he will support the abolition of the eldest son and the young, otherwise he will firmly resist the emperor's decision. Without the support of officials, even the imperial edict cannot be issued.
Comrade Xiao Zhu is in trouble, it is easy to abolish the new law, but what should I do? I finally lived a good life, so should I go back to the past, and it depends on the ministers' expressions when I build a cabinet?
Just as he was in a dilemma, Concubine Zheng walked over slowly.
"I've seen Your Majesty! The matter of the emperor..." Comrade Xiao Zhu smiled a little embarrassed when he heard the words of his beloved concubine.
"My beloved concubine! It's important to be a big deal, and I need to make a long-term plan!" When Xiao Zhu said this, he was a little uncomfortable with the beauty's eyes.
Concubine Zheng's smile suddenly calmed down and she didn't say anything. She sat beside Xiao Zhu, lowered her head and sobbed. The crying sound under pressure could hit Xiao Zhu's weak heart every time.
"My beloved concubine! Don't cry! I'm trying to figure out a way! Don't worry, I'm still the emperor, I have the final say in the world!" Xiao Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.
Concubine Zheng shook her shoulders, broke free from Xiao Zhu's arms, and sobbed, "Your Majesty! I am making you embarrassed! I will not blame Your Majesty, it is all the emperor's life. You can issue an order to let the emperor do it!"
"Nonsense!" Xiao Zhu became anxious when he heard this. How old is Zhu Changxun, how could he be before he was weaned?
Concubine Zheng knelt directly on the ground and kowtowed, "I would like to issue an order to you! I am willing to cut my hair into a monk, and recite scriptures day and night to pray for the emperor's son.
For the sake of the emperor, I am willing to do anything. From then on, I am willing to accompany the ancient Buddha of Qinglan and leave this place of failure forever!"
"shut up!"
Comrade Xiao Zhu's eyes widened, and when he saw his disheartened beloved concubine, his heart was completely broken.
Comrade Xiao Zhu regretted it very much after scolding Concubine Zheng. His mother could do anything for her child, so what about his father?
Have you ignored your beloved son for the sake of a mere new law?
After walking a few steps back and forth, Comrade Xiao Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "Go back to you, beloved concubine! Chang Xun must be the crown prince!"
When Concubine Zheng, who had been sobbing with her head down, her crying stopped abruptly when she heard this. She looked up at Xiao Zhu with tears in her eyes and said, "Your Majesty! Are you saying true?"
"You don't have any jokes!" Comrade Xiao Zhu said with a sneer, walked back to his seat, picked up a memorial and looked at it again and again, and picked up the pen and swished the next line of words on it.
Seeing this, Concubine Zheng smiled.
The little yellow door standing at the entrance of the study changed his expression. When someone replaced him, he ran towards Kunning Palace without looking back.
"Eunuch An! Eunuch An! It's not good, Your Majesty wants..."
The next morning court, it seemed that everyone had forgotten what happened yesterday, and as usual, they began to discuss memorials sent from various places.
Just when some people thought it was another ordinary day, a censor stood up and said, "Your Majesty! I impeached Jizhen General Qi Jiguang withdrew military pay with a bad intention to support private soldiers!"
"I also impeached Qi Jiguang! I used the public utility to privately, and even called the Ming army the Qi family army. His intentions are to be punished!"
"I impeached Qi Jiguang and actually allowed his wife to command the imperial soldiers!"
...
Various impeachment pavilions came overwhelmed, and Shen Shixing felt dizzy after hearing it. After a while, he realized what had happened. He wanted to open his mouth several times, but he never spoke.
Finally, he sighed a long time and stood aside and kept silent.
Comrade Xiao Zhu listened very carefully until everyone finished speaking, and said, "Qi Jiguang is a man of great talent. He not only defeated the Japanese pirates, but also wiped out the invading remnants of the Mongol Yuan several times.
The words of you and others also make some sense, so the Ministry of War thoroughly investigated..."
Qi Jiguang was Zhang Juzheng's man, and Xiao Zhu asked someone to thoroughly investigate what he wanted to make was too obvious. Many people began to think about how to cater to the holy wishes.
The next day, the memorial to impeach Zhang Juzheng filled Xiao Zhu's imperial study. Some people impeached Zhang Juzheng to be extravagant and made a lot of money while serving as the chief minister.
Some people impeached Zhang Juzheng's family slaves to bully others and occupy the land of the people. Some people impeached Zhang Juzheng to collude with the prince with the intention of rebellion.
Xiao Zhu didn't read these memorials, and kept them all without posting them. Now the censors became more courageous and began to attack Zhang Juzheng's new law.
One month later, the chief assistant Shen Shixing retired and returned home. Comrade Xiao Zhu repeatedly tried to stay but failed, allowing Shen Shixing to leave Beijing, and the second assistant Wang Jiaping became the chief assistant.
The first thing Wang Jiaping did in his succession was to ask Comrade Xiao Zhu to abolish the new laws that deceive the people and harm the people, and restore the old system.
Comrade Xiao Zhu repeatedly investigated and finally abolished the new law in accordance with public opinion. Next, Wang Jiaping proposed that the country must be determined and begged Xiao Zhu to issue an order to enthrone the crown prince.
Comrade Xiao Zhu looked embarrassed and said that the position of the crown prince cheered for the foundation of the country and must be carefully considered. This time, the ministers seemed to no longer be confused about the order of the elders and young people. As long as Xiao Zhu nodded, he would agree with the emperor's point of view.
...
"I am congratulating you, Empress! Congratulations to you! Your Majesty has already written an edict in the imperial study room! A decree will soon be sent. I will call you the Queen in advance!" Eunuch Lu's face was almost laughing. He made great contributions to this matter, and Concubine Zheng will definitely not forget his benefits.
