Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 24 Qian Gang is arbitrary, not inferior to Hong Wu

"This matter is settled! Wang Yangming will preside over the matter of the reform, and I will send Jin Yiwei to assist."

Zhu Houzhao didn't care about the opinions of the ministers, and made a final decision directly.

If you agree to change, if you disagree, you have to change. Whoever dares to make trouble will directly throw it to Liaodong to cultivate land and open up wasteland. He is already tired of this group of courtiers who are mediocre and ignorant of current affairs. A group of young and obedient ones are on top.

"Your Majesty, Wang Shouren's law really harms the country and the people. It is as cruel and cruel as the ancient Shang Yang. Your Majesty must never agree to it!"

"Your Majesty, Wang Shouren's evil will be a disaster for thousands of years. Your Majesty must not be bewitched by him!"

"If Your Majesty does not take back the order, the old minister will crash and die in this Fengtian Palace."

At this moment, all the ministers hated Wang Yangming to death. They are both civil servants, and they are both scholars. Why bother to make things difficult for each other and force them to death.
In order to prevent Zhu Houzhao and Wang Yangming from going crazy and making three extremely unreasonable reforms, the officials tried their best, and some even threatened each other with death.

"Humph"

With a cold snort, Zhu Houzhao's eyes were full of killing intent. A group of mediocre officials thought that they could threaten him with death. They were so naive. He was not his father, Emperor Hongzhi, and his tolerance for them was very limited.

"Do you think you can stop me from reforming the law by forcing you to death? I still say that, if you agree, you will change, and if you disagree, you will also change."

"You can die if you want, and I will never stop you. Don't think that without you, the court cannot function. There are many talents in the great Ming Dynasty. If you want to be an official, there are many who can be officials. You are not bad. "

"Hanlin bachelors who have no positions in the Hanlin Academy can replace you at any time."

Some merciless words shattered all the indignation of the officials, their heads were already on the pillars, and the ministers who were about to kill him didn't want to die anymore, so they silently retracted their heads.

Zhu Houzhao's words are ugly, but it is an indisputable fact that the court is never short of people.

There are many people in the Imperial Academy and the Imperial College who are capable of taking over from them, and those people are young and energetic, far more useful than their obedient ones.

"Why, I don't want to die anymore, so can I take you down for the crime of deceiving the king and the king?"

Zhu Houzhao's anger remained undiminished, and he didn't send anyone to Liaodong to farm for a long time. Did they think that Zhu Houzhao couldn't carry a knife anymore!
"I have nothing to say, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

The officials were shocked.

"Liu Jin, check!"

In a word, it directly announced the ending of those ministers who were dying or living. If they are not obedient, then go to Liaodong to learn to be obedient.

砰

A minister was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground. Liaodong, that is the hell of civil servants. Except for Liu Jian and Xie Qian who were specially cared for, almost none of the civil servants who were dispatched to farm in Liaodong came back alive. A dead bone that people care about.

"The slaves obey."

Liu Jin cast a dark look at those ministers who were dying, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. He dared to sing against the emperor, and he didn't think he was a bastard. Grandpa cleaned it up!

"The matter of the reform is not allowed to be changed. If anyone dares to obstruct the reform in secret, I will move his whole family to Liaodong and contribute to the development of the land of Liaodong."

Finally, I warned the ministers that if they are still ignorant of current affairs, then they can't blame Zhu Houzhao for being cruel!
The land of Liaodong is always short of people!

Although he has moved many people to Liaodong over the years, the development of Liaodong is still not ideal, and more people are needed to fill it in. Those officials who oppose the reform and the power groups behind them are the new batch prepared by Zhu Houzhao Liaodong developers.

The remnants of Fusang, King Ning's henchmen, and officials who were dispatched before and are still alive, nobles, scholars, businessmen, and tyrants are all waiting for their companions.

"Qian Gang is arbitrary, not inferior to Hong Wu."

For Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jian only has this eight-character evaluation, but it is not a positive evaluation.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the great emperor of Hongwu, expelled the Tartars and restored China. His merits can be called an emperor through the ages, but in the eyes of literati, Zhu Yuanzhang is an out-and-out tyrant. In the case of Hu Weiyong, the number of officials who were punished and killed was no less than that of the Lanyu case. Its cruelty and tyranny made countless literati tremble.

Today's Zhu Houzhao has even more ruthless means of harming literati. He rarely kills, but he can kill people. He has broken the backs of many scholars with one move. According to Zhu Hou's methods, he dared not stand up and openly oppose.

Opposing the reform may not necessarily lead to death, but going to Liaodong will undoubtedly lead to death, and even the dignity of being a scholar will be lost. How to choose, many people have a steelyard in mind.

With his own strength, the suppressed scholars dare not even speak. Zhu Houzhao is not only inferior to Hongwu, he has surpassed Hongwu, trampled the faces of civil servants and scholars all over the world.

Zhu Houzhao didn't know that Liu Jian compared him to Emperor Hongwu. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care, let alone the thoughts of the civil official group. What the civil official group needed was a generous and benevolent king like his father Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youxi and Hongxi Emperor Zhu Gaochi. , and he is destined not to become Emperor Hongzhi, let alone be lenient and kind to a group of moths lying on the empire and sucking blood.

In the whole world, is it the land of the king?On the shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers.What he wants is absolute control and submission, not sharing the world with the scholar-bureaucrats. The scholar-bureaucrats can only be pawns in his hands, not "allies" who share the world with him.

In essence, he is as different from Emperor Hongzhi and Emperor Hongxi as heaven and earth.

"Retreat."

With a wave of his sleeves, he announced his withdrawal from the court. The tone of the three reforms had been set. The next step was to see Wang Yangming's operations. He had absolute trust in this "My Crouching Dragon".

"Brother Liu, Brother Xie, let's go and say goodbye, I don't know when we will see you again!"

After the fall of the court, the three giants of the cabinet got together, and Li Dongyang said with emotion that he is the only one of the three giants of the cabinet left by Emperor Hongzhi who is still active in the court!
"Ha, if brother Li is reluctant, you can ask His Majesty to resign and go back with me. You and I will be neighbors, writing lyrics and painting every day, enjoying the landscape leisurely, enjoying the grandchildren, and enjoying our old age in peace."

Xie Qian smiled.

"Brother Li, I entrust you with the court affairs, don't let me cut off the seed of a scholar."

Liu Jian solemnly begged Li Dongyang, now in the court, the only civil servant group that can speak is Li Dongyang!

Li Dongyang could only respond with a wry smile, how to protect the seeds of scholars, how to protect, how to protect, there is no one in the current civil service group who can carry the top, Wang Jia, Fei Hong, Liu Yu, Yang Yiqing, Yang Tinghe, Yan Song and others , Either he is indifferent to the civil official group, or he is simply Zhu Houzhao's loyal lackey. Can such a civil official group be kept?
