Chapter 376 Which is the most difficult in the world?

Liu Xiyao died in prison. Although he committed rebellion, His Majesty was grateful that he had been an official in the court for many years, so he committed suicide and left his body intact. His family also followed him to death.

The ministers in the court felt a little sympathy for him, and then jumped into the wave of resistance against the emperor. The court meetings for many days were all about the crime of gathering a crowd to resist the law.

It was another day of court meeting. Accompanied by the ringing of the Jingyang Bell, the officials walked across the Jinshui Bridge, paid homage and saluted, and shouted "Long Live the Lord" three times.

After standing still, Xiao Jing, who was standing beside the emperor, shouted: "Today's court meeting, if the emperor says: Dear sirs, do you have this memorial?"

The ministers cheered up, and an official immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I have my own report."

"What's the matter?"

"As for Wang Shouren's treatment of the Liu family and the Zhou family in Changping Prefecture, it is a matter of judging crimes. I am the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and follow the Ming Dynasty Law."

Before finishing speaking, Xiao Jing shouted in a sharp voice: "Retreat from the court!"

Then Emperor Hongzhi, who was sitting on the golden dragon chair, immediately stood up and left, followed by the accompanying guards and surrounding eunuchs.

All the ministers were left standing in front of Fengtian Gate. Just like the court meeting a few days ago, it ended just as it started.

Liu Jian said as usual, "Everyone, we have retired from the court. I will wait until I leave the palace."

This time, the officials did not leave the palace silently as usual, but gathered around, "Mr. Liu Ge, Your Majesty has done this again and again, what should we do?"

"Mr. Liu Ge, you are the chief minister of the cabinet and command all officials. You should get a charter."

They had prepared their drafts these past few days, and were in the best spirit every time. However, only the first time they had a serious argument with the emperor, and they finally broke up unhappy.

This is what happened next. They originally planned to talk about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the past dynasties, and the ancestral system to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and they must persuade the emperor. But every time after that, Emperor Hongzhi didn't even listen to this matter.

, and immediately retreated from the court.

If this court meeting is compared to a computer, mentioning the relevant charges is the shutdown button. As long as you mention it, no matter who mentioned it, you will immediately withdraw from the court.

Emperor Hongzhi obviously didn't want them to argue the matter. He couldn't argue with these courtiers, and he couldn't do anything with them. In the same way, these courtiers couldn't do anything with the emperor who evaded the matter.

Even the memorials sent to the palace in envelopes were all flooded.

This so-called flood is a jargon, and the ministers are not allowed to report it. If the emperor does not agree with this, but cannot refute it, let alone does not want to mention it, then he will leave this memorial unpublished.

As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, so the word "flooded" is perfect.

This matter has remained at a stalemate, or rather wasted.

This feeling is really torture, and this torture has happened several times in a row.

"Since we have retired from the imperial court, we will naturally return to our respective yamen."

As he said that, Liu Jian looked around the crowd again, "Who just said that I should get the charter? It is true that I am the chief minister of the cabinet, but I am not the one who leads you and others. Your Majesty is. Not to mention why I should get the charter.

, I don’t have any regulations?”

Hearing this, the person who had spoken before suddenly turned pale and stood up and said, "Mr. Liu Ge, I was so outspoken that I almost said the wrong thing. Don't blame me, Mr. Ge."

"Outspoken? Kou Zhongmin is also an outspoken person. You just asked me to get the charter. How about you imitate Kou Zhongmin?"

Kou Zhongmin is naturally Kou Zhun. This famous official of the former Song Dynasty once angered Song Taizong during a performance. The God of Gaoliang River was so angry that he threw up his sleeves and wanted to leave. If he let others go, he would kneel down and apologize.

.

But Kou Zhun not only did not apologize, but instead took two steps forward, grabbed the sleeve of the car god, and forced him back to prevent him from leaving.

The outspoken Kou Zhun dared to do such a feat, but the official who also claimed to be outspoken really didn't dare.

Kou must be fine, but he will never think that what he did is fine. After all, this is a violation of dragon scales and a crime of great disrespect.

"Everyone has dispersed. Don't hang around me. Above the court, you still have to be considerate of your decency and leave the palace according to your order."

After hearing this, all the officials were silent for a while, but they couldn't help but gather around Liu Jian and ask him to come up with a solution.

They dispersed in clear hierarchies and headed outside the Forbidden City in an orderly manner.

The three cabinet ministers also walked slowly in order according to their positions. When they arrived at the duty room of the cabinet, Xie Qian sent out all the clerks, closed the door, stared at Liu Jian and asked loudly: "Liu Jian

Sir, there is no one else around now, so you will explain to me today what exactly you are thinking."

Liu Jian raised his eyes to look at him, then lowered his eyelids and let out a sigh.

After hearing his sigh, Xie Qian frowned a little and said, "Mr. Hui'an, this is not the time to sigh! Now that things have come to this, we must make some rules!"

Li Dongyang said: "Yu Qiao, why are you in a hurry? The chief assistant makes his own decision, so don't be impatient."

"It's not that I'm impatient. Now His Majesty has stopped even the noon court and the morning court is like this. You can see His Majesty's attitude. He doesn't discuss state affairs with anyone, and the Ming Dynasty is half paralyzed!"

There is nothing going on in the country now, but if things continue like this, if something happens one day and His Majesty does not come forward to make a decision, what will happen to the country, what will happen to the court, and what will happen to the Ming Dynasty! If you and I occupy the cabinet positions, we will become the leaders of the Ming Dynasty.

sinner!"

The impatient Xie Qian had wanted to ask these words for a long time and had been holding them in his mind for many days. Now he finally asked them.

"The country and country of our ancestors are carried on His Majesty's shoulders, but the national affairs of the Hongzhi Dynasty are shouldered by us. Once something happens, we will be the first to bear the brunt. Mr. Liu Ge, you must say something to us!

"

"Yu Qiao, I told you not to ask!" Li Dongyang slapped his hand on the desk, "Mr. Liu Ge has been forced hard enough, do you want to force him too?"

Xie Qian had a lump in his throat, his expression was still angry, but he didn't ask any more questions.

Liu Jian was silent for a while, "It's not that I don't want to say it, and it's not that I can't say it. Since Yu Qiao asked, I will tell you."

"Spreading land into acres is a kind of benevolent and good governance that benefits the country and the people. I am happy to see the results. To tell you the truth, I have already sent a letter to my family and made an inventory of all the properties in my name. I am just waiting for the reform.

If you push it to your hometown, you will report it directly."

Hearing this, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian had no reaction. In fact, they both wrote letters to their families and took stock of the hidden fields.

Given their status, even if Hidden was reported, it would still not delay them, nor their descendants' wealth.

Even if the descendants are incompetent, fail to pass the imperial examination, or fail to become an official, the court will still be kind and grant them an official position.

"Those who obstruct the investigation of Hidden Fields will be punished for rebellion. To put it bluntly, it has no impact on me. I even agree with it in my heart, but it is difficult for me to express my position on this fact."

Looking at the check-in window, Liu Jian's eyes seemed to be in a trance, and he asked leisurely: "Which one do you think is the most difficult in the world?"

PS: Yesterday I had a cold and a fever. I didn’t code all day. I kept sleeping in a daze. I slept until noon today. The fever subsided a little. I got up to code, but I still felt dizzy and uncomfortable in my head. It lasted five or six hours.

I just wrote this chapter.

Moreover, there are no causes and consequences in this chapter, and there is no long explanation. You may be a little confused when you look at it, and I am also confused when I look at it. Please read it first, and I will explain it later.

I originally wanted to take a leave of absence, but after thinking about it, I felt embarrassed that I had taken a leave of absence last month. I will update this chapter today. I'm going to do some reading later. After I finish it, I'll come back and update tomorrow's chapter.

Feel sorry.
Chapter completed!
