The next day, the Ming Dynasty.

Jinluan Palace.

This time, all civil and military officials were present at the court.

The new official took office with three things in mind. Emperor Jiajing resumed the early dynasty after twenty years and gave a clear warning yesterday.

Therefore, although the officials were reluctant, they did not dare to be absent.

After all, if you don’t work hard, you won’t be lazy, and if you only work hard, you won’t have a good eye.

At this juncture, this is not the time for cheating.

Anyway, in everyone’s opinion, Emperor Jiajing just succeeded in cultivating immortality, so he impulsively wanted to be diligent.

But with Emperor Jiajing’s personality, he should have slacked off after working for some time.

After all, going to morning is really hard.

After Emperor Jiajing slacked off, cheating and cheating would be nothing.

Historically, things have been corrupt, and bad things have gone from bad to bad in both upward and downward ways.

If the leader can lead by example, his subordinates will be somewhat hesitant.

If the leader takes the lead and behaves badly, the people below will only become worse.

The ministers shouted long live the queen.

Lu Fang said: “If something happens, we will start to act; if nothing happens, we will retreat.”

Zhang Juzheng was the first to come out, cupped his hands and said: “I, Zhang Juzheng, have a starting point!”

While talking, Zhang Juzheng took out a thick booklet, which was the reform strategy that Zhang Juzheng had stayed up late to write.

Most of the officials were confused and didn’t understand why Zhang Juzheng jumped out first and looked very solemn.

But Xu Jie, Gao Gong, Li Chunfang and others were shocked.

They are all pavilion elders, they have some eyes and ears in the palace, and they can more or less receive some news from the palace.

Naturally, we know that Zhang Juzheng was summoned by His Majesty last night and had a long and pleasant conversation.

They still didn’t know what Zhang Juzheng had discussed with the emperor, but early the next morning, Zhang Juzheng came prepared. It looked like he was going to do a big job!

“Send it over!” Jiang Hao said without changing his expression.

Lu Fang hurriedly walked down, took Zhang Juzheng’s booklet, glanced at it, and was shocked.

Because this booklet is actually called “This Dynasty Has Nothing to Do for a Hundred Years”.

The eunuchs in charge of the ceremonial department are all educated, otherwise they would not be able to approve the favor on behalf of the emperor.

Lu Fang naturally knew that Wang Anshi of the Song Dynasty also published a book called “This Dynasty Has Nothing to Do for a Hundred Years”, which triggered the prelude to Wang Anshi’s vigorous reform.

Lu Fang couldn’t help but take a breath.

But Lu Fang didn’t dare to say anything and could only hand the booklet to Jiang Hao obediently.

Jiang Hao flipped through the pages at a glance. This booklet was the reform policy discussed by Jiang Hao and Zhang Juzheng last night, but it was written in more detail.

How to implement it in detail is clearly written, showing Zhang Juzheng’s great talent.

The ministers watched Jiang Hao’s movements intently, guessing what kind of book Zhang Juzheng had read.

After about a few minutes.

Jiang Hao finished reading “This Dynasty Has Nothing to Do for a Hundred Years” by Zhang Juzheng and shouted: “Okay, okay, okay!”

The words “good” on his face made everyone very moved.

Could it be that Zhang Juzheng wants Jane to be in the emperor’s heart?

“Taiyue is truly an unparalleled scholar. This booklet of his lists the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty and gives reliable solutions to all of them. He is really my ovary, Kong Ming!” Jiang Hao said, “If I adopt Taiyue If you follow Yue’s advice and take the medicine, the Ming Dynasty will be revived in no time!”

Seeing that the emperor not only called Zhang Juzheng “Taiyue” affectionately, but also spoke highly of Zhang Juzheng’s book, and everyone could hear traces of reform from the emperor’s tone, all of a sudden, the hearts of the ministers were in their throats.

Zhang Juzheng said: “Your Majesty is making false compliments. I am only dedicated to serving the country and fulfilling my duty.”

“That’s right. If all ministers can perform their duties, then the Ming Dynasty will definitely have clear seas, rivers, and peace, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe.” Jiang Hao said, “Lu Fang!”

“The slave is here!”

“Please pass this booklet to all the ministers to take a look.”

“yes.”

Lu Fang was in a state of confusion. The emperor wanted to make a big move, which was not a good sign.

Since ancient times, reform has not been easy.

Most of those countries that have made drastic reforms have not had any good results.

Lu Fang didn’t want Ming to bother him either.

But as a eunuch, he could influence the emperor by subtlety, but he didn’t have the courage to openly intervene in politics.

Lu Fang could only hand the booklet to Xu Jie first.

Xu Jie is the chief minister of the cabinet, so of course we must start with Xu Jie.

The rest of the cabinet ministers all gathered in front and read the brochure together.

Xu Jie’s hands trembled when he saw that the title was “A Hundred Years of Nothing in This Dynasty”, and when he saw the content again, he was even more frightened.

A method of whipping, measuring land, reducing clan expenses, and strengthening military equipment are all good strategies for enriching the country and strengthening the army.

But these are all things that offend people!

Xu Jie glanced at Zhang Juzheng. Now he was convinced of Zhang Juzheng. He thought to himself: “I can’t compare to a person like Zhang Taiyue. I also know what the problem of Ming Dynasty is. I

I don’t even dare to say it, let alone change it. He can’t make a living like this! Either he will be infamy for eternity, or his reputation will be ruined! ”

The rest of the pavilion elders, except for Gao Gong who was actually a little excited, all looked at him with solemn expressions.

In about ten minutes, the elders finished reading the booklet.

Jiang Hao asked: “What do the elders think?”

Xu Jie frowned and sighed: “Unbelievable, unbelievable!”

Li Chunfang said: “It’s too intense, it’s too intense.”

Gao Gong said: “This is exactly what I want to do.”

“Hey” Zhao Zhenji could only sigh.

Jiang Haodao: “Since the cabinet elders have no constructive opinions, let the officials from the six ministries take a look!”

Soon, the six officials finished reading.

Officials from the Sixth Ministry didn’t know what to say.

Afterwards, all the civil servants read the booklet.

As for the generals and nobles, they have no say. It doesn’t matter whether they look at it or not.

The ministers stared at each other with big eyes.

The intensity of Zhang Juzheng’s reforms can be said to be unprecedented. Although they are good things for the country and the people, many measures have deeply harmed their interests.

Just a single test will make them unable to live in peace.

Not to mention measuring the acres.

Boy, is this measurable?

Xu Ge’s hometown has 300,000 acres of land, and this is still apparent.

Once measured, everyone has to reveal their secrets.

Although it is said that officials and gentry do not pay food, it does not look good in terms of face.

What’s more, if the imperial court knows the true data, it will be difficult to deceive the superiors and subordinates. What will happen if the imperial court cancels the gentry’s preferential exemptions in the future?

The ministers were not very happy.

Only Gao Gong and a few others supported Zhang Juzheng’s plan.

“Let me tell you, I think Zhang Taiyue’s brochure is very reasonable, so I plan to implement it!” Jiang Hao said, “If you don’t object, then let’s officially implement it!”

“Your Majesty, you must not do this. Zhang Juzheng is talking nonsense. According to his strategy, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be in chaos, Your Majesty!”

“I understand that your Majesty is determined to reform, but the disease comes like a mountain falling, and the disease goes away like a thread. Zhang Juzheng is the medicine of a tiger and a wolf. Once used, the Ming Dynasty will fall into a state of eternal destruction!”

“I object! Your Majesty, Zhang Juzheng has a terrible heart and is a treacherous minister! A great treacherous man is like a loyal man!”

Not surprisingly, seeing Jiang Hao’s plan to play it real, the officials immediately objected fiercely.
