Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 29 Officials resign collectively and go on strike
"Zhaoer, you."

Empress Dowager Zhang wanted to persuade Zhu Houzhao again, but seeing Zhu Houzhao's unwavering appearance, she gave up the idea, thinking that when Zhu Houzhao suffered a loss, she would stop the reform!
But how could she have thought that Zhu Houzhao had been preparing for the reform for many years, and she would stop when she encountered some setbacks. Anyone who blocked Zhu Houzhao's reform was Zhu Houzhao's sworn enemy, and farming in Liaodong was just the beginning.

Just as Zhu Houzhao sent Queen Mother Zhang away, Liu Jin brought another bad news. A large number of officials resigned collectively to express their willingness to resist to Zhu Houzhao!

"asshole."

Zhu Houzhao was furious, and the officials thought that they could threaten him by resigning from office and going on strike, but it was a fool's dream.

"Dare to threaten the emperor, this evil spirit must be resolutely suppressed."

If he doesn't forcefully suppress him, the officials will think he is the son of the Zhao family who shares the world with the scholar-bureaucrats. Zhu Houzhao's eyes flashed a trace of sternness, and he ordered Liu Jin: "Go and arrest Li Dongyang, the chief assistant of the cabinet. Yan Song, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Shi Wenyi, commander of Jinyiwei, came here."

"The slaves obey."

Not long after, Li Dongyang, Yan Song, and Shi Wenyi came to the Leopard Room.

"I see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

"no!"

Zhu Houzhao waved his robe sleeves, and threw a bunch of resignation memorials in front of the three of them, and said with a gloomy expression, "Let's talk about it, what should we do?"

Li Dongyang, Yan Song, and Shi Wenyi randomly opened a memorial and looked at it, and then looked at the pile of resignation memorials with at least dozens of copies. They were so scared that they were sweating coldly, and something big was about to happen!

"Your Majesty, I think that these people, at the time of the country's reform, deliberately used resignation as an excuse to resist His Majesty's holy will, and should be severely punished."

Yan Song pretended to be angry, with a loyal attitude that was completely considered for Zhu Houzhao.

He was originally just a small concubine of the Imperial Academy, but Zhu Houzhao promoted him to be the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, controlling the power to supervise all officials. If he doesn't speak for Zhu Houzhao's platform, then he will just wait and get out!
Yan Song is very clear about who gave everything he owns, and also the purpose of Zhu Houzhao calling him here, so he dare not pretend to be deaf and dumb, and can only speak according to Zhu Houzhao's meaning.

Thinking about Shangyi, he hasn't reached the pinnacle of this ability, but it can be regarded as entering the room!
"I also feel that Master Yan's words are justified. Resigning collectively is clearly a violation of the holy will and is suspected of threatening His Majesty. Your Majesty, I believe that such rebellious ministers must be severely punished."

Following Yan Song's words, Shi Wenyi said that he had a very close friendship with Liu Jin, and he was Zhu Houzhao's lackey. At such a time, he naturally knew what to do.

He is also very displeased with those officials who are not good at doing things in the court, but only love affairs, and scold them Jinyiwei as eagle dogs and lackeys when they have nothing to do.

You know, Jin Yiwei started his career by framing people, making troubles, and making things out of nothing. He, Shi Wenyi, must not lose the job that Jin Yiwei has inherited from generation to generation.

"What does the teacher think of the collective resignation of officials?"

Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied with the attitudes of Yan Song and Shi Wenyi, and then looked at Li Dongyang, who was silent, and asked in a rather unfriendly tone.

Officials resigned and went on strike collectively to fight against the political reform. If Li Dongyang didn’t know about it, even if Zhu Houzhao was killed, he wouldn’t believe it.

"The veteran thinks that it is inherently wrong for officials to resign collectively, and it is justifiable if you think about it. Your Majesty can send someone to reprimand you."

After Li Dongyang finished speaking, he lowered his head directly, not daring to face Zhu Houzhao directly. The civil official group resigned and went on strike to express their dissatisfaction with the reform. Of course he knew about this, but he never thought that those officials would be so bold as to send the resignation memorial to Zhu Houzhao before.

This is the end of the calf, and with Zhu Houzhao's temperament, he will never let it go. Maybe it will be another King Ning incident, and a large number of officials were sent to Liaodong to cultivate land and open up wasteland by Zhu Houzhao.

He couldn't help complaining to those officials who resigned in his heart. You said that you can make troubles, but you can make troubles every now and then, and the number of troubles should be controlled. The old man can still mediate for you. Maybe the emperor is annoyed by your troubles, so he will compromise. up!

But you are making such a big fuss, how can I let the old man speak for you in front of the emperor? You think the emperor is the ex-emperor Emperor Hongzhi with a very good temper. After so many years, he has been taught many times by the emperor, but he just doesn’t have a long memory.

"Excuse me? What the teacher means is that I was wrong, I should let them get used to it, and let them make money wantonly.

Zhu Houzhao's tone could not be heard to be happy or angry, but this kind of Zhu Houzhao is the most terrifying, which indicates that Zhu Houzhao's anger has accumulated to the peak and may erupt completely at any time.

Li Dongyang, Yan Song, Shi Wenyi, and Liu Jin shuddered fiercely. The last time Zhu Houzhao used such a tone and attitude to make King Ning's rebellion aggravated, and then a large number of wealthy gentry families in the south of the Yangtze River who had crossed paths with King Ning were sent away. Liaodong cultivated land and opened up wasteland.

Zhu Houzhao who is angry is not scary, which means that there is still room for turning things around. Zhu Houzhao who is not angry is the scariest. Hidden under his calm face is a fierceness that can make the world tremble.

"veteran"

Li Dongyang wanted to speak for those officials who resigned, but he didn't know where to start. He couldn't really say that Zhu Houzhao was wrong!

If it is true that Zhu Houzhao is wrong, then based on his understanding of Zhu Houzhao, not only those officials will suffer, but he, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and the emperor's teacher will also be implicated.

Liu Jian and Xie Qian also taught Zhu Houzhao, but what happened in the end? He didn't think that his status as the emperor's teacher would have much influence on Zhu Houzhao. The reason why he can still be the chief assistant of the cabinet is not because his ability is better than Wang Yangming's. Strong, but because he is old enough to suppress the officials, but because he helped Zhu Houzhao at the beginning of Zhu Houzhao's ascension, and Zhu Houzhao remembered his kindness.

"I understand what the teacher means, and I will handle it properly. Teacher, let's go back and rest first!"

Zhu Houzhao couldn't hide his disappointment in his words. He still had a lot of expectations for Li Dongyang, a teacher, otherwise he wouldn't push Liu Jian to the position of chief minister of the cabinet after returning to his hometown for retirement. However, Li Dongyang let him down again. !

"Old minister, leave!"

Li Dongyang's body trembled, and his face was full of helplessness and bitterness. How could he not know that Zhu Houzhao and Wang Yangming's reforms were all aimed at making Daming stronger and more prosperous, and he himself wanted to see Daming become stronger, but he was a civil official group The interests of the people involved are too deep, and it is impossible to escape!
One day he was a member of the civil official group, and he was a member of the civil official group all his life.

Unless he can learn from Yan Song and don't even want his face, but can he do it?He can't do it because he needs face.

Therefore, he was tied to the chariot of the civil official group by the word "scholar" by many civil officials. He could only work hard to plan and mediate for the civil official group, but in the end he was not happy with both sides.

This is not the case with Liu Jian and Xie Qian. When they first entered the officialdom, they all had the heart to help the world and save the world and the people. However, as the officials became bigger, they struggled in the quagmire of interests, until they were killed by the civil official group. Trapped, there is no way to get out.

　Regarding the question of Zhu Houzhao who is curious about whether Zhu Houzhao is a time traveler or a reborn person, the author will explain it later. In addition, if you find any typos, you are welcome to point out, and the author will modify it as soon as possible
