If it was in the past, even honorable representatives such as Duke Ying and Duke Cheng, who lived with the country, had nothing to do when facing a group of civil servants.

After all, the authority of the Xungui Group has already been deprived of the power of the Civil Service Group for nearly a hundred years, and it has almost been reduced to a display in the court.

But that was in the past. With that great victory that had not been seen in decades, as the honorable party, it is definitely a vested interest in this victory. The newly promoted nobles with illustrious military exploits took advantage of this battle to regain the power of soldiers and horses that had been lost long ago.

With or without the power of soldiers and horses in hand, the confidence to speak will naturally be different.

So when Yang Tinghe, Wang Jia and other important civil officials stood up to express their opposition, Zhang Lun and Zhu Fu seemed quite indifferent, showing a calm and confident posture.

Zhang Lun and Zhu Fu looked at each other when they noticed the gazes of several nobles looking at them. The two knew that they had to stand up and express their attitude at this time.

Not to mention the tacit agreement reached with the emperor before, it is said that the civil official group strongly opposed the tax reform proposed by Li Huan this time. Even if the emperor did not express his position, they would inevitably choose to stand for Li Huan.

After all, now Li Huan can be said to be a representative figure of their Xungui Group. Only when Li Huan's status is stable can the interests of their Xungui Group be guaranteed.

In this case, anyone who opposes Li Huan is the enemy of their honorable group.

Zhang Lunshan took a deep breath, looked at Yang Tinghe unceremoniously, and said, "Mr. Yang Ge is too alarmist. The method of distributing people to the mother is beneficial to the country and the people. Why didn't I see that?" If there is something that harms the country and the people, how come you say it is a policy that benefits the country and the people, but it becomes like a scourge, maybe you are afraid that once this method is implemented, it will greatly damage your own interests.”

Youdu Censor Cheng Guang is a newly promoted official, and he is also a veteran of the imperial court. After all, he can become such a noble official as Du Yushi. Apart from other things, at least his prestige and influence among scholars are definitely great. Not to be underestimated.

Although Cheng Guang dare not say that he has many disciples and old officials, he is also a famous scholar among scholars, and his influence is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Watching Zhang Lun rebutting Yang Tinghe at this time, he didn't have any scruples about Zhang Lungui's honorable status as the British Duke, and he said unceremoniously to the British: "The British Duke doesn't know the seriousness of the reform. A little carelessness will lead to national turmoil." Is it Mr. Yang Ge who knows the way of governing the country or you, the British Lord, or do you, the British Lord, know the way of governing the country?"

When Cheng Guang said the last sentence, there was even a bit of sarcasm in Cheng Guang's words, but his eyes were cast on Li Huan.

If Cheng Guang's words were aimed at Zhang Lun, it would be better to say that they were aimed at Li Huan.

After all, in the eyes of these civil servants, Li Huan was born in a military family in the local guard, and his background is definitely considered humble in their eyes. Dare to propose any reforms.

It depends on how these important ministers above the court should deal with themselves, and if it is spread, how will the common people in the world treat them.

Li Huan couldn't help frowning, looking at Cheng Guang with a gray beard, a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but he said bluntly: "Could it be that Cheng Yushi knows how to govern the country?"

Cheng Guang straightened his beard when he heard the words, and said with a bit of pride: "This old man was born as a Jinshi in two rankings. He has been in office for decades and has assisted two generations of kings. Li Huan, you said that I don't know how to govern the country. It's ridiculous. Extremely."

On the contrary, Li Huan nodded deeply and said, "If Master Cheng is deeply fond of the way of governing the country, can Master Cheng tell Li why the national treasury will be empty next year, and even the need for several times must be taken from the internal treasury. Allocating money to support the court, is this the way you govern the country?"

Li Huan's words were not only aimed at Cheng Guang, but also at Wang Jia, Yang Tinghe and others.

As soon as Li Huan said this, no matter whether it was Wang Jia or Yang
One of Ting He and other officials' faces sank, this is definitely a big problem for them that cannot be denied.

Since Cheng Guang accused Li Huan and Zhang Lun of not understanding the way of governing the country, Li Huan unceremoniously asked Cheng Guang and others why the treasury would be empty if they knew the way of governing the country.

Cheng Guang was speechless for a while, but when he looked at Li Huan, he snorted coldly, waved his sleeves and said, "Little Huangkou, the way of governing the country is not as simple as you think, I am too lazy to explain it to you. "

Seeing Cheng Guang's reaction, several important ministers explained that they bowed their heads. It was Cheng Guang's words, the level of which was too low, which simply lowered their level.

Sure enough, Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting behind the royal table, couldn't help showing a bit of disappointment in his eyes after hearing Cheng Guang's words.

Such incompetent people are able to rise to the high position of Ming Dynasty, it is really unfortunate for Ming Dynasty.

Cheng Guang, who didn't know that he had already left a deep impression on the emperor, said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, I would rather beg for bones than see female gangsters like Li Huan wreak havoc on our Ming Dynasty." Sheji."

Speaking of which, Cheng Guang knelt down in front of the emperor's imperial table, assuming that if the emperor agreed to Li Huan's tax reform, he would resign from office.

"And minister!"

"I also don't want to be in court with Li Huanzai and such a female traitor!"

Immediately, I saw the two important ministers Zuodu Yushi and Libu Shangshu followed Cheng Guang and prostrated themselves in front of the emperor's imperial table.

Zhu Houzhao looked at this scene, glanced expressionlessly at the three people kneeling there, and said slowly: "My dear family, is there anyone else who wants to beg for bones?"

In the eyes of Cheng Guang and others, the emperor is still young, and it has only been a few years since he ascended the throne, and his means and temperament are quite poor. If they threaten each other, it is expected that the emperor will be frightened by them, and he will definitely ask them to stay.

It can be said that at this moment Cheng Guang and the three were waiting with full expectation for the emperor to ask them to stay, and then issued an order to reprimand Li Huan.

At this time, the three of them were in a very good mood, and they were even full of expectations for the future.

Li Huan's proposal of tax reform at the Great Court Meeting today will inevitably spread throughout the entire capital and the world, and at that time the world's scholars will definitely be in turmoil.

And if they can force the emperor to cancel his support for Li Huanxing's reform, the three of them will definitely spread the word to the world when the three of them force the palace today. At that time, among the scholars, who dare to say that they are not for the country and the people , a loyal man who dares to speak out.

It's just that for some reason, when they heard the emperor's indifferent words echoing in the imperial study room, they felt a little bad inexplicably in their hearts.

Cheng Guang raised his head subconsciously and looked at the emperor, but after just one glance, Cheng Guang's heart skipped a beat.

I saw the emperor's face was gloomy, and his eyes full of infinite majesty showed a bit of indifference and determination that he had never seen before.

"No, I'm afraid it's self-defeating this time."

Cheng Guang is not a fool after all, he sensed that the emperor's expression was wrong, so he immediately understood.

But Cheng Guangdang lay down on the ground and kowtowed, weeping, "His Majesty Wanwang takes the country and the country as the most important thing!"

Zuodu Yushi and Libu Shangshu are all good people, and when they noticed Cheng Guang's reaction, they immediately kowtowed and cried on the ground.

Li Huan looked at the performance of Cheng Guang and the others with a calm expression, his eyes were full of disdain

color.

Wang Jia, Yang Ting and the others also noticed that the emperor's expression was not right, and they vaguely understood something. Wang Jia stepped forward and was about to speak, trying to intercede for Cheng Guang and the others, but before he could speak, he heard the emperor He was decisive and said without hesitation: "Since the Qing family insists on begging for the bones, then I don't want to make things difficult for others. Since this is the case, you and my monarchs and ministers can get together and get together. Today, I have accepted the invitation of the beloved Qing."

If it was just a little uneasiness in my heart, then now that the emperor's voice fell, Cheng Guang and the three of them were like eggplants beaten by frost, and their whole bodies were wilted.

"His Majesty

Your Majesty, you must have been deceived by the female thieves." "Cheng Guang and the three came back to their senses, and kept shouting and begging.

Climbing up all his life, I don't know how much effort and price he has paid, and now he has finally become one of the most honorable people in Daming, but his status, political power and power have left them in the blink of an eye. How to be acceptable.

"Come here, take a few people down."

Zhu Houzhao let out a cold snort, and outside the imperial study room, several imperial city guards heard the sound, and they stepped forward to carry the three of them away.

Cheng Guang was so angry that he immediately rolled his eyes and passed out like that.

But these imperial city guards didn't care whether Cheng Guang passed out or not, they just carried out the order of the emperor, and they took Cheng Guang and the others out without hesitation.

Seeing this, Wang Yan couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, Mr. Cheng."

Zhu Houzhao, who was in a rage, couldn't help but slammed the table when he saw this, stood up suddenly, stared straight at Wang Jia, Yang Tinghe and other officials who clearly opposed him, and said coldly: "Don't tell me that you don't know what Li Qing proposed. What kind of influence does the law of Dingmu into the mother have on our Ming Dynasty? If it can be implemented, at least it can bring together a hundred years of national fortune for our Ming Dynasty. You are crazy to stop such things that benefit the country and the people, but I have to be steady Ladies and gentlemen, what exactly do you intend to do?"

Pfft!
Immediately, Yang Tinghe, Wang Jia and other officials fell to their knees in fright.The emperor's words are a bit cruel!

"I dare not wait, I dare not wait!"

Although they all have their own little thoughts, if the emperor accuses them of ulterior motives, it might be ransacking the family and exterminating the family. Did Li Huan, who was not looking aside, look at them with a strange look?
The minister of the Ministry of Industry even said loudly: "The ministers and others have no two minds. The benefits of the country and the people are shared by the family. The minister thinks that our Ming Dynasty should carry out reforms to benefit the people of our Ming Dynasty."

"Yes, yes, I also think this method is feasible!"

Immediately, someone changed the term and shouted support for the reform.

Wang Jia looked at his colleagues beside him, took a deep breath, bowed to the emperor, and said: "The old minister has served three generations of emperors, and he is loyal to His Majesty. He never wants to see His Majesty be bewitched by female ministers. The old minister still says In other words, the law of the ancestors cannot be changed, if not, please tell the old man and return to his hometown."

Standing there, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand without hesitation when he heard the words: "Yes!"

"Forehead!"

It seems that he didn't expect the emperor to be so clean and tidy. Wang Jia, who hadn't finished speaking, just stayed there, looking up in disbelief at the emperor who agreed to his invitation to return home without hesitation.

Cheng Guogong Zhu Fu on the side smiled and said to Wang Jia: "Old Wang Ge, didn't you hear that His Majesty has approved your invitation to retire and return to your hometown? Why don't you thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"

Zhu Fu's age was about the same as Wang Jia's, and they were both buried up to their necks in the loess. Now Zhu Fu looked at Wang Jia's deflated look, not to mention how refreshed he was.

It had been many years, and he had never been in such a good mood. Being able to watch an old and important minister like Wang Jia suffer in front of the emperor, the aggrievedness he had suffered for most of his life seemed to disappear at once.

Wang Jia didn't pay attention to Zhu Fu's ridicule at all, but couldn't help looking at the emperor and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty..."

Zhu Houzhao glanced at the crowd coldly and said: "I have decided that Li Qing will personally preside over the tax reform. The cabinet and the six government departments, officials of all sizes must fully cooperate with this tax reform. , I will punish you severely.”

After speaking, Zhu Houzhao turned around and left, leaving only a back view for everyone.

After a while in the imperial study room, Wang Jia, Yang Tinghe, Liu Yu and others just came back to their senses. Everyone looked at each other, and their eyes could not help but look at Li Huan.

Feeling the gazes of the crowd, Li Huan revealed a slight smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "My lords, please give me more advice in the future."

Wang Ji slowly got up from the ground, straightened his clothes, looked at Li Huan and said coldly: "Li Huan, since ancient times, reformers have rarely achieved good things.
In the end, hahaha, the old man is only waiting to watch you walk on the execution ground, and then the old man will definitely have someone collect your body."

After saying this, Wang Jia straightened his body and walked towards the outside with big strides.

Several officials saw that Li Huan also left with Wang Jia, and when Yang Tinghe walked to Li Huan's side, he nodded at Li Huan and said, "Champion Hou, please do it yourself."

Soon there were only Wang Yangming, Zhang Lun, Zhu Fu, and Li Huan left in the imperial study room.

Zhang Lun took a step forward and looked at Li Huan with a bit of worry in his eyes. Although it was said that Wang Jia and others opposed Li Huan's reform because of their own selfishness, Wang Jia was right about one thing. Since ancient times, there are really few people who have reformed the law and have a good death, so Zhang Lun and Zhu Fu can't help but feel worried.
