Chapter 774 Persecution
Your Highness, what does this mean?The courtiers kneeling in front of the imperial study could not help but look at each other.

Why does it sound like you are not afraid of the courtiers putting pressure on the emperor, on the contrary... you are encouraging them to kneel here? ?

Why is His Royal Highness thinking differently from others? !
"I still have something to do in this palace, so I won't be here with you adults." Xiao Jingheng smiled and cupped his hands all around: "If you have any needs, you can ask the guard on duty in the Imperial Study Room for help. You can ask for tea or water. If there is someone I feel unwell after kneeling for a long time, so it is very convenient for the inner eunuchs to send the imperial doctor to come and take a look."

After Xiao Jingheng finished speaking, he directly led Shangguanjing and turned around to leave. He didn't intend to pay more attention to these courtiers kneeling in front of the Chongzheng Hall. It seemed that there were a lot of people kneeling here, and they would It's like putting any pressure on him.

And the Crown Princess...the Crown Princess didn't say a word, as if she didn't bother to look at them at all.

The courtiers just watched Xiao Jingheng leave like this, all of them felt a bit embarrassed, but what can they do?Seeing that the emperor refused to come out, and the prince didn't care, thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was no other use for continuing to kneel here besides suffering for himself.

Of course, everyone agreed to come to see the emperor together. Although many people looked at this posture and were very shaken, no one was ashamed to say that they wanted to leave.

After all, it is very important to maintain face in front of a group of colleagues, and no one wants to be the one who stands out.

In the end, some older courtiers couldn't hold on, such as Zhongshu Sheren who was over 60 years old.But this old man is also smart, he didn't directly say that he wanted to leave, he only said that he had something urgent to see the emperor, so he wanted to go to Yuzhen Temple.

As soon as Zhongshu Sheren spoke, many courtiers agreed one after another, and there was a posture of echoing everything. Anyway, no matter what, if there is a suitable excuse to leave, no one is willing to continue kneeling here.

So these people don't care whether they are in a hurry, anyway, they all pretended to be in a hurry, and quickly stood up and left.

After Xiao Jingheng and Shangguanjing heard the news, they were all happy, and they still came to kneel to the emperor with this bit of morality, so why not stay cool and stay there!

As for whether these people will really go to Yuzhen Temple to harass the emperor after they leave, Xiao Jingheng said that it has nothing to do with him. The emperor can see whoever he wants to see. Make the princes.

This time the matter passed so silently again, there was still a lot of thunder and rain, the emperor was still out of sight, the prince and his wife were indifferent, and the courtiers, none of the goals they thought they had achieved were achieved.

However, going to court these days is quite lively, because of the two decrees in the past two days, the court has become a mess, courtiers from aristocratic families are desperately opposing to protect their own interests.

The officials of the poor family stayed put for the time being, and after two days of jumping around, the poor family also began to counterattack in an organized way, arguing back and forth with officials from the high family every day in the court hall.

This counter-offensive was not organized by Donggong, but officials from the poor family in the middle of the court spontaneously organized to maintain Donggong's decree.

This incident is like a sign that officials from poor families began to behave as Shangguanjing had expected before, and they did not need guidance at all. They instinctively chose the direction that was in line with their own interests, and spontaneously united with those who were willing to take action to break down class barriers. Around the East Palace.

The so-called reciprocation, Shangguanjing and Xiao Jingheng are obviously not stingy monarchs, the support of poor families is very important to them, and they will naturally respond positively.

Therefore, on the second day after the poor family officials stood in line spontaneously, the young prince and his wife issued another decree in the early court, and this time it was the turn of the Su University scholar to suffer.

Shangguanjing and Xiao Jingheng started with the fraud case of Su Dashi and proposed the reform of the imperial examination system. This time, Donggong did not take the lead. Shangguanjing handed over the initiative to officials from poor families.

She proposed that the new Guozi Jijiu should take the lead, and the Guozijian, Taichang Temple and relevant officials of the Ministry of Rites in charge of the school's tribute examination law should jointly discuss the reform plan.

The previous Guozi Jijiu was cold, and the new Guozijijiu himself came from a poor family and was just promoted as a senior official. In theory, there is nothing wrong with him, a senior senior academic officer, taking the lead in discussing the reform plan.

But officials from aristocratic families are not stupid!In just two days, they had already seen clearly the situation in the DPRK and China. They knew exactly what this group of officials from poor families wanted to do.

These poor clansmen wanted to gain more political rights and a higher political status through the support of the Eastern Palace.And all of this can only be obtained by squeezing the interests of the nobles.

And the courtiers who came from aristocratic families, how could they watch others come to grab the cake in their hands?
So when the imperial decree came out, there was another uproar in the court, but before the minister of the Ministry of Rites jumped out to object, Shangguanjing blocked their mouths first.

"Why are you panicking? I just asked Guozi Jijiu to take the lead in making a preliminary plan." Shangguanjing raised her eyelids and swept the entire court with dignity: "The plan hasn't come out yet, what are you rushing for? Wait After the initial formulation of the reform plan, it still needs to be led by the Privy Council who signed the letter, and then handed over to the Imperial Academy to organize all officials to discuss and perfect it. If you have any opinions, it will not be too late to say so.”

In a word, he blocked the words of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites. The Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was so depressed, but he couldn't refute what the princess said, so he had no choice but to shut his mouth and go back to stand obediently. up.

But the officials from noble families all know that this time the East Palace is talking about the unsubstantiated fraud case of the University of Su, and the one who took the lead in making the plan is an official from a poor family.

Therefore, although Shangguanjing blocked the opposition for the time being, none of the courtiers dared to take it lightly.

Officials from poor families consciously stick together, and they dare not relax. However, the more these people stick together, the more vigilant the officials from aristocratic families will be.The most important contradiction between the court and the central government suddenly shifted, and this time, even the struggle between the Su faction and the Chen faction seemed less acute.

The big bosses on both sides were ordered by the emperor to think about their mistakes at home, and they really seemed to be sympathetic to each other, and the struggle between them seemed to be dying down.

Shangguanjing and Xiao Jingheng were well aware of the undercurrents in the imperial court, but the young couple seemed to be as calm as ever, while the loyal counselors of the Eastern Palace seemed worried, stressed and frowning.

 ——Here is the dividing line for death——
  In the eyes of others, the prince and the young couple are just trying to kill themselves, even if they reform, they don't have to be so rash.

  Thanks to Yun Qingqing and Pili Mu for their daily dried fish! !
