The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 405 Two Strategies: Up and Down

"His Majesty instigated students to take to the streets, preaching about reform, equality for all, women as officials, getting rid of servants...etc...there is no precedent for any of these!"

"The students taking to the streets are rebelling against imperial officials. Which imperial official is not appointed by His Majesty? Are they not rebelling against His Majesty?"

"Everyone can't understand His Majesty's new law! Since Your Majesty wants to rebel against Himself, just say it! Let's establish a new emperor!"

When Wei Zheng was about to establish a new emperor, he became angry and blurted out the words. As soon as he said these words, he regretted it. These words were obviously rebellion.

Unexpectedly, Li Chengdao didn't care at all and just looked at him with a sneer.

Wei Zheng was stunned for a moment, then continued: "Your Majesty is indeed very generous, and indeed wants everyone to be equal. It seems that I just scolded Your Majesty today, but that is what can be done if everyone is equal!"

A minister said: "This is lawless. How can there be no seniors? If this continues, how can we, the Tang Dynasty, have anyone to set an example for the world! It's unbelievable!"

Wei Zheng continued: "Please tell me clearly today, what is your Majesty going to do? So that the ministers can understand in their hearts and know how to do things! Now the whole world doesn't understand. The students asked the temple minister to step down, and the temple minister just wanted to ask for an explanation from your majesty. , His Majesty spared him with just one word, who wouldn’t be heartbroken!”

These people were all dissatisfied with the reform, and Li Chengdao was also happy. Finally, a student understood the truth and advocated the reform. This was his victory.

After all, reform is not something you can just push through by force. The main thing is for the public to understand.

"What Lord Wei said is that if His Majesty wants to change the government, he must make it clear and let everyone understand that Chang'an cannot be allowed to go into chaos first!"

"I thought so too!"

"I agree!"

In the entire court, only Li Jing, Li Ji and other soldiers remained silent and watched with eyes, nose and heart.

Someone knew that Xu Mo was Li Chengdao's confidant and winked at him, hoping that he would also stand up and join the group.

Xu Mo said: "I have been too tired these days because of the chicken essence. I ask for your majesty's permission to go down to the court and take a nap!"

Li Chengdao nodded.

Li Chengdao stood up and said: "I know you are doing it for the Tang Dynasty. I have said that everyone is equal, including me. I will not take it to heart what you said today, but you are forcing me in the court one by one. , is this loyalty?”

"I want to reform, but also for the Tang Dynasty! What will happen, I am very talented, I can't say clearly now! But what I want to tell you is that what I am rebelling against is the thousand-year-old system."

"From today on! No more discussions are allowed in the court. After three months, I will definitely give you an explanation!"

Fang Xuanling said: "Master Wei, please take a step back. Your Majesty has already reached this point. I support your Majesty's reform, but it cannot become so big! It needs to be done step by step! There must be a review by the three provinces."

This is a subtle protest.

Wei Zheng said: "Your Majesty has always praised various schools of thought, are they also wrong?"

In the past few days, hundreds of schools of thought have submitted various memorials. Of course Li Chengdao knew their thoughts, and almost none of them agreed.

Especially Confucianism.

The court officials protested and protested, but there was really no one who did not admire Li Chengdao. After all, he had too many great deeds to count.

If he were an ordinary king and his ministers resisted such a major event, then the reform would definitely be fruitless.

But in Li Chengdao's case, it's easy to lift a weight. The most the ministers can do is vent their dissatisfaction.

After annihilating a clan, all the officials were really discouraged.

Li Jing said: "I see that Your Majesty is also tired. Let's end the meeting here today!"

The ministers glared at him, but Li Jing turned a blind eye.

Li Chengdao said: "Du Ruhui is seriously ill. He also advocates that this method should not become too powerful. He is a moderate. I heard that someone wants to take the opportunity to come to his house. I advise you not to cause trouble again!"

Du Ruhui, a high-ranking official in the court, wanted to take advantage of Du Ruhui's serious illness and use his mouth to counter the reform. Li Chengdao had known about this for a long time.

Only then did the Ministry of Rites report to Du Ruhui.

In fact, he just wanted to use Du Ruhui's prestige to persuade Li Chengdao. The ministers originally wanted to make a fuss at the court meeting today, but they didn't expect that Li Chengdao treated the temple minister coldly, stopped talking, and cruelly treated an old minister cruelly, and finally they all lost their temper.

In addition, Li Chengdao also took a step back, and the meeting ended awkwardly.

Those who die will die in vain, and those who lose their official positions will be in vain.

Li Chengdao returned to the Yangxin Hall and summoned Ran Min: "Why did I hear that something strange happened in Chang'an City? Is this possible?"

Ran Min said: "I didn't expect that this incident would finally alert His Majesty. I have heard about it and am preparing to investigate!"

Li Chengdao nodded and asked him to investigate together with Di Renjie.

Shortly after Ran Min left, Wang Daojing, the official of Zhanshi of Luye County Prince's Mansion, asked to see Li Chengdao.

Li Chengdao was surprised that Li Yucai had figured it out just after being banned.

When Wang Daojing entered, his rank was too low. He had no place here and could only kneel down and speak.

"Your Majesty, the Prince of Luye County said that he has figured it out and wants to patrol the world on behalf of the Emperor after the confinement is over, go out for a walk and gain more knowledge. Please allow your Majesty!"

Li Chengdao smiled and said: "Very good. He knows how to do things for the court. Tell him what insights he has gained wherever he goes and tell me when he comes back!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After Wang Daojing left, Li Chengdao asked Gao Huai to call Yang Luchan.

"As my advisor, I want to change the law, but I didn't expect the resistance from the officials to be so strong. Do you have any good ideas?"

Yang Luchan said: "This is easy! I have two strategies for your majesty to choose from!"

"The best policy is to establish a charter with the main officials in the DPRK, so as not to offend their interests. These people will definitely stand by His Majesty's side. With their strong support, the reform will be smooth. Otherwise, His Majesty alone, Your Majesty has the law. They have countermeasures, and they can delay it for several years, but I'm afraid that this new law will finally be difficult to implement."

"This is exactly where I am in trouble!"

After all, the final implementation depends on them.

"The next plan is for Your Majesty to introduce the new law in the three provinces, and then arrange for his cronies to implement it in each state, bypassing the six ministries and so on! This is more troublesome but not as effective as the previous plan!"

Li Chengdao nodded, noncommittal.

"Of course! The new law has begun. Your Majesty can leave the palace for a walk. We will implement it after they cool down!"

"Oh! Where can I go for a walk?"

Yang Luchan replied: "Winter hunting!"

Li Chengdao felt that this method was good. He handed it over to them for implementation and left the palace. They must do something.

If they don't implement it, find another group of people to do it, and you can think about it carefully.

Therefore, he changed Yang Luchan's top and bottom strategies, combined them, and decided to use both soft and hard strategies.

The emperor was leaving the palace. This was a big event and there was too much noise. Li Chengdao decided to go on patrol incognito so as not to disturb anyone.

It's lively enough with Yue Yun and Jin Yiwei around.

By the way, chat with these love generals to kill the boredom.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had an idea.

Why not create a new yamen organization to implement the new law?

It would be much more convenient to let this yamen be responsible for the implementation of the new law.
