Although Yang Tinghe is not the first assistant, he is like the first assistant in the hearts of the officials. In addition, Xie Qian and Liu Jian have left one after another. In fact, Yang Tinghe has become the backbone of the officials.

Although it was said that Yang Ting and the whole person didn't seem to care so much about dealing with Li Huan several times before, or they took the initiative to stand up and fight Li Huan as they expected.

Even so, apart from Yang Tinghe, there is really no other official who has the qualifications and ability to win the support of all officials.

Now hearing what Yang Tinghe said, many people breathed a sigh of relief, and saluted Yang Tinghe: "I am so old, please persuade your majesty, don't be fooled by that traitor Li Huan, it's bad It has laid down the foundation of my country and the country of Ming Dynasty."

Some officials called friends and said: "Everyone, let me go and discuss how to contact more people, and write to the emperor to persuade Your Majesty."

With the departure of all the officials, calm finally returned to the square, but the chaos in front of the Qianqing Palace disappeared, but a turbulent undercurrent was brewing in the capital.

Compared with Li Huan's previous proposal of dividing the land into mu, checking the land mu and Dingkou in the world, and collecting taxes based on the land mu, although many people are quite resistant in their hearts, but because the officials and dignitaries who really have the right to speak I have the privilege of tax exemption, so although I am quite opposed to the policy of distributing income to the mother, I don't have the motivation to resist desperately.

In any case, their own interests will not be infringed. After realizing the determination of the emperor and Li Huan to carry out tax reforms, naturally no one would risk being targeted by Li Huan and catch up with his family. Life is going to fight Li Huan hard.

This time, however, it was different.

It is not enough to infringe on their interests, but Li Huan's idea of ​​paying the government and the gentry in one package is really rushing towards them.

Du Yuan laughed loudly and said: "It's nothing more than a little effort, if I can get rid of a traitor for my Ming Dynasty, it will be the glory of many scholars in our Zijian."

Seeing Zhao Ye's dejected look at this moment, Chen Gengyun couldn't help but slapped the table and shouted angrily at Zhao Ye: "What does Mr. Zhao mean by this? Is it because of His Majesty's attitude that I will just sit back and watch His Majesty?" Made a big mistake?"

Du Yuan, who was stroking his beard, sneered and said: "Thousands of scholars gathered in front of the palace gate to ask the emperor for an explanation. Do you think the emperor will choose to preserve Li Huan at that time, or will he choose to protect Li Huan?" Execute Li Huan and give thousands of scholars an explanation!"

"The Imperial College..."

At this moment Zhao Ye, a member of the Ministry of War, smiled wryly and said: "You guys have not seen the tit-for-tat scene at the Great Court Meeting today. Your Majesty doesn't know why Li Huan was fascinated by Li Huan, so he actually supported Li Huan. That traitor, even if it is the advice of all the officials, he will ignore it."

If we really want to talk about influence, I am afraid that not many people can compare with them.

A cold light flashed in his eyes, and Chen Gengyun said: "It must be that there are not enough people to persuade His Majesty. If there are enough people, I don't believe that His Majesty can really see the raging public opinion in the world. If you haven't heard of it."

Looking at the law written by Yang Tinghe, the complexions of several important court officials gradually became excited.

Chen Gengyun chuckled and said: "According to what Chen knows, there are thousands of scholars from the Ming Dynasty gathered in the Imperial College, and many of them are talented and famous. If Huan suggested that the Son of Heaven should abolish the privilege of tax exemption for those of us with high reputations, what kind of reaction would these people have?"

"Go together, go together!"

The rest of the people also spoke in unison.

Suddenly one person couldn't help clapping his hands and exclaimed: "Okay, okay, I never thought that Elder Ge has such a wonderful method, if it is true what Elder Ge said, then this time Li Huan will have to shed a layer of skin even if he doesn't die. "

Yang Tinghe said indifferently: "Yang has a method, you may as well try it, if nothing happens, His Majesty will definitely take back his life, even Li Huan will not escape the responsibility."

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the unnaturalness in his heart, Zhao Ye couldn't help looking at Chen Gengyun and Du Yuan with anticipation, and said, "Tell me what you two have to do."

Here, Du Yuan and the others made up their minds, left the other courtyard, and headed straight for the Imperial College.

Seeing Yang Tinghe's unhurried appearance, the servant of the Ministry of Rites couldn't help but said to Yang Tinghe: "Mr. Ge, what time is it now? Why are you still so calm? If you don't think about it, it may be His Majesty's fault." The imperial decree is about to leave the palace."

Du Yuan smiled slightly when he heard the words, and said to Chen Gengyun: "The so-called hero sees the same thing, Du believes that Chen Shi's method should be the same as what Du thinks."

However, Du Yuan, the Prime Minister of the Imperial College, and Chen Gengyun, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, did not participate in the Great Court Meeting. They did not know that the hundreds of officials at the Great Court Meeting were intimidated by the emperor and Li Huan.

Many people were excited when they heard Chen Gengyun's words.

While speaking, Chen Gengyun cupped his hands in the direction of the imperial city and said: "As a minister, I will assist the emperor and the people of Anli. If the emperor is wrong, I will remonstrate. give up."

In the Ming Dynasty, the Imperial Academy was a truly noble place. Only the best Jinshi were eligible to enter the Imperial Academy, and if they wanted to enter the cabinet in the Ming Dynasty, they had to be from the Imperial Academy.

Zhao Ye nodded slightly and said, "Not bad."

Chen Gengyun's elegant temperament has long since disappeared, and there is even a bit of ferocity left on his face, saying: "God damn Li Huan, he still has me and other scholars in his eyes, and he wants to destroy the ancestors. law, to levy tax per mu of land under the names of our officials and gentry..."

Du Yuan, the prime minister at the side, immediately clapped his hands and praised, "Okay, well said, since your majesty has been deceived by that traitor Li Huan, then I will wake up your majesty, and letting go is the way to be a minister."

An official said excitedly: "That's needless to say, as long as the emperor is not stupid, he must know what choice to make. To offend thousands of scholars for the sake of a mere Li Huan, is it the work of a wise king, even a foolish one? to do something like this."

Chen Gengyun nodded slightly and said: "That's right. Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. What's more, Li Huan still wants to abolish their tax-free privileges. Do you think these people will kill Li Huan once they hear the news?" The traitor was ripped alive."

Chen Gengyun stroked his beard, with an expression of wisdom on his face, but his eyes turned to Du Yuan, the supervisor next to him, and said, "I think Du Jiancheng has a way."

Slightly taken aback, Zhao Ye looked at Chen Gengyun with some confusion and said, "What does Chen Shi mean?"

Speaking of which, Du Yuan got up suddenly and walked out, saying: "Everyone is willing to go to the Guozijian with Du, and invite many scholars to knock on the palace gate together, admonish the emperor, and ask the emperor to kill the traitor."

Yang Mansion
Yang Tinghe, who was placed with high hopes by all officials, stayed in the mansion after he came down, so that all officials didn't know what Yang Tinghe was doing at the moment.

Before Chen Gengyun finished speaking, Zhao Ye said: "Do you need to say it? No one will agree to it. They study hard all their lives, and what they want is to be superior to others and become a master. Now Li Huan, a traitor It is not an exaggeration to say that they are their sworn enemies who want to deprive them of their tax-free privileges."

The rest of the officials couldn't help looking at Du Yuan and Chen Gengyun with excitement and curiosity on their faces, "Could it be that Du Jiancheng and Chen Shi said that you can do something?"

Whether it is Du Yuan, the Prime Minister of the Imperial College, or Chen Gengyun, the attendant of the Imperial Academy, although they seem to have a noble name and no real power in their hands, no one dares to underestimate them even if they are officials with real power in the Six Ministries.

Even so, there are still more officials in Jiangnan above the Great Ming Dynasty Hall, and only a small part of them are gathered here now.

However, although Yang Tinghe said that he was in the mansion, he couldn't avoid the important court officials coming to visit him one after another, hoping that he could come up with a countermeasure to Li Huan's proposal of the government and gentry paying food together.

Jiangnan has produced a lot of talents since ancient times, especially in the Ming Dynasty, when the Ming court began to recruit scholars, almost half of the Jinshi came from the south of the Yangtze River, so that the imperial court had to specially set up the southern list and the northern list for this purpose. In order to balance the forces between the North and the South.

I don't know how long it has passed, but the young man who had been standing there without saying a word slowly opened his mouth and looked at Yang Tinghe and said, "Father, although this method is wonderful, it is suspected of forcing the palace. Everything is going to be beneficial, but although the current temperament is honest, but he is not a weak king, isn't your father afraid of backfire and cause chaos?"

Everyone couldn't help being taken aback when they heard the words, and looked at Yang Tinghe with a bit of surprise and doubt. If this matter is really so easy to solve, they don't have to worry about getting angry one by one.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they stared at Yang Tinghe firmly.

Although there are no explicit regulations, this is an unspoken rule accepted by the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. That is to say, anyone who enters the Imperial Academy, as long as there are no accidents, has a bright future.

Du Yuan, who is the supervisor of the Imperial College, stroked his beard and looked at Chen Gengyun, who was losing his composure, and said: "What Chen Shi said is true, we are the ones who are expected by all people in the world, and we must not sit back and watch Li Huan corrupt the court and mess up our Ming Dynasty. "

On the other hand, Zhao Ye and the others, who saw the reaction of the two people's expressions in their eyes, felt a little unnatural in their hearts, why they couldn't think of any way, so that they looked like idiots compared to Du Yuan and Chen Gengyun .

"Such a feat, how can I miss my official!"

Standing beside Yang Tinghe, a young man watched the situation in the field, kept silent, and just slowly added tea to Yang Tinghe.

In a rather quiet and elegant courtyard, more than a dozen officials are gathered together. If anyone recognizes these people, they will be able to find that although these people are said to be located in various departments of the court, they seem to have no connection, but If you check carefully, you will find that these people are from Jiangnan.

"Ge Lao, do you really have something to do?"

As they spoke, the two looked at each other, as if they had a tacit understanding, and smiled at each other.

Looking at each other, Chen Gengyun smiled at Du Yuan, and then said, "Didn't you all say before that His Majesty will not accept the advice of the officials at all."

Seeing Yang Tinghe beckoning to several people, the servants of the Ministry of Rites subconsciously got up and stepped forward, while Yang Tinghe dipped his hands in the tea in the teacup and wrote a few words on the table in front of him lightly. words.

Most of the people present had experienced the event of the Great Court Meeting not long ago, so hearing Zhao Ye's words now, all of them were saddened.

A few eyes fell on Du Yuan, the Prime Minister of the Imperial College, and Zhao Ye said to Du Yuan with a look of impatience: "Cheng Du, the Imperial College can be said to be your territory, this matter I'm afraid I'm going to trouble Du Jiancheng with you."

Although Chen Gengyun, the lecturer of the Imperial Academy, said that his rank was inconspicuous among the officials, as a lecturer of the Imperial Academy, his status was extremely noble.

Yang Tinghe smiled slightly and said, "You don't need to worry, it's actually not difficult to solve this matter."

Whether to categorically reject the emperor or obey the emperor, as important officials of the court, they finally have to come up with an idea, after all, all the officials are still waiting for their decision at this moment.

Zhao Ye sighed and said, "Although Mr. Yang Ge said that he would meet His Majesty together with all the lords and persuade His Majesty to take back his order, but judging by His Majesty's attitude, it may be difficult for His Majesty to take back his order."

In the study, Yang Tinghe sat there calmly and calmly, looking at several officials with anxious faces.

Yang Tinghe glanced at the young man, with a somewhat satisfied expression on his face, he said: "That's right, before thinking about victory, think about defeat first, Yongxiu, you did not disappoint my father, but everything is under my father's control. You can rest assured."

Because if they put themselves in their shoes and thought about it, they didn't even need to think too much about it. Once the news reached the Guozijian, those scholars and recruits in the Guozijian would probably seek Li Huan to their death.

"it is good!"

Looking at the crowd leaving excitedly, calm was restored in the study.

It can be said that once this strategy was implemented, everyone seemed to feel the aggressive attitude from Li Huan.

Yang Shen listened to his father's words of wisdom, and the worries in his heart gradually dissipated, so he nodded and said: "It's good that the father knows it in his heart, it's the child who worries too much."

Guozijian

The Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty is divided into the Southern Academy and the Northern Academy, which are also called Nanyong and Beiyong. The Southern Academy was set up by Taizu. Needless to say, it is naturally located in Nanjing. Thanks to the prosperous literary style in the south of the Yangtze River, there are no fewer than ten thousand students in the Southern Academy. Remain.

The Beijian was set up by Emperor Yongle, and it was located in the capital. To distinguish it from the Nanjing Guozijian, it was called Beijian. Because the capital was the political center of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of famous scholars gathered in the Jingshi Guozijian. The number can be described as There are many, even more than ten thousand people at the peak, which can be called unprecedented grand occasion.
