On July 16, Zhao Yu summoned a group of ministers to the Yanhe Hall to introduce matters.

…

"What...what's going on? Didn't the prime minister do a good job? The national treasury also has money, why should he be impeached?"

Zhao Fu asked first, but for a long time, he didn't hear any answers from his ministers.

Ma Tingluan, a professor at Prince Yi's Palace and editor of the Privy Council, stood in the hall. He raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Mengding. Seeing that Ye Mengding was as motionless as a mountain, he nodded slightly.

Soon, remonstrators came out.

"Your Majesty, under the public land law implemented by Jia Sidao, at first the official property was used to buy the land beyond the limit. He was jealous of the wealth and suppressed the power. Then he sent people to buy it. Except for those with less than 200 acres, they were exempted, and the rest each bought one-third.

.After that, even if the house is a hundred acres, it is inevitable that the landowner will accept it, but the original intention has been lost..."

"I impeached Jia Sidao for conniving with Pingjiang prefect Bao Huixing to forcefully buy people's land with drastic measures, and subject an eighty-year-old man to corporal torture until his death. Pingjiang was in turmoil and people were dissatisfied..."

"I have impeached Jia Sidao for his corruption. Today, every one stone rented from the public land is clearly reduced by two dou, and there is not much to be collected. However, in Piling, Chengjiang and other places, every six or seven dou is equivalent to one stone. When the rent is collected, if there is a deficit in the total amount, the full amount will be taken.

Landowners think that there will be endless disasters..."

"I impeached Jia Sidao for allowing evil officials to prey on the people. An evil official in Zhenjiang forced his barren land to be replaced by others. The disaster was especially terrible for the landowners..."

Zhao Fu was stunned.

Although he couldn't understand what these people were saying one by one, he could already feel that the matter was serious.

After sitting on the imperial couch for a long time, he felt his head buzzing until a shout came into his ears.

"I ask your Majesty to remove Jia Sidao!"

"My lord, please remove Jia Sidao..."

Ma Tingluan also came out, saluted, and solemnly said: "I beg your Majesty to curb evil and promote good in order to obey the heavens, and to serve the people by upholding the right and doing wrong!"

If the remonstrators before were only impeaching Jia Sidao, once he came out, he was already threatening the officials.

Today, if Jia Sidao is not dismissed, evildoers are curbed and good deeds are promoted, then the official family will not be "successful to heaven".

"O ministers, I beg your majesty to curb evil and promote good in order to obey heaven, and to serve the people by upholding the right and doing wrong!"

"..."

Ma Tingluan knew that the officials might not understand.

But this momentum was actually for Ye Mengding and others to see.

Jia Sidao must be dismissed today, otherwise they will ask the Queen Mother to attend the court... Ye Mengding will not understand what this means.

~~

Zhao Yu increasingly didn't know how to deal with it.

The remonstrance ministers were very vocal, but the Jia Party officials were all silent.

Zhao Fu couldn't help but feel anxious, thinking that you should say something, otherwise he would have no choice but to dismiss Jia Sidao.

After a while, he remembered that he still had a teacher, and quickly looked at Ye Mengding.

As long as Ye Mengding can stand up... Zhao Fu doesn't care who takes charge of this important military and national affairs matter.

Jia Sidao, in fact, you can just throw it away.

But Ye Mengding just shook his head at Zhao Yu.

Zhao Fu was stunned again and had to ask Jia Sidao: "Master, what do you think?"

"I beg for the bones." Jia Sidao looked calm and took off his official hat.

He didn't know how many times he had experienced such a scene.

Always tired of dealing with criticism from hundreds of officials...

Zhao Fu was stunned for a moment. He still didn't see Ye Mengding showing any willingness to step in to clean up the mess. He became more and more anxious and didn't know what to do.

"Master, you..."

~~

Ma Tingluan saw that Jia Sidao had put his official hat on the ground.

Something big was about to happen, but he began to have doubts in his heart, thinking that Jia Sidao and Ye Mengding's reactions were not quite right.

Sure enough, at the next moment, Ye Mengding seemed to sigh, stepped out of the queue, and said: "Your Majesty, I think it is not appropriate for Jia Pingzhang to resign now. The Privy Council received a report from Lu Wende in Jinghu today that the Mongolian troops are urgently attacking the lower reaches of the Yangtze River..."

With a "dang" sound, the wine glass on the royal eucalyptus was pushed down.

Ma Tingluan closed his eyes.

He knew that things had failed again today. Jia Sidao had already made a deal with Ye Mengding and Lu Wende...

The next moment, an exclamation came into my ears.

"Master!"

Ma Tingluan suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He actually saw... the official on the imperial couch suddenly jumped out and hugged Jia Sidao's leg.

Then, he prostrated himself on the ground and cried profusely.

"Your Majesty! You can't do this..."

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty……"

The ministers were shocked and turned pale, then became furious and shouted one after another.

"Your Majesty, get up quickly!"

"Your Majesty must not do this..."

Zhao Fu, however, seemed not to notice their anger and surprise, and just hugged Jia Sidao tightly.

"Master! Master... My Master, you can't resign... Please don't abandon me! Have mercy on me, Master..."

~~

Jia Sidao closed his eyes, feeling no joy of victory, only frustration and fatigue.

This time, it was nothing more than a compromise with Lu Wende, promising to implement public land laws in the future, planning the law, and never involving the Lu family army, and adding the title of Lieutenant Lu Wende...

One was with Ye Mengding, and the other was with Lu Wende. The two compromises resulted in another victory in the party struggle today.

tired.

Even if the emperor prostrates himself on the ground and begs him not to leave, he can hardly get rid of the disappointment in his heart.

The planning method, the public land method, and the planning method were all hacked.

This knife also struck Jia Sidao's heart.

"Is this my great innovation?"

~~

Ciyuan Hall.

Quan Jiu has been paying attention to the movements in the front court, anxiously.

"If Jia Sidao refuses to compromise, what means does Cheng Yuanfeng have to deal with the officials?"

"Ping Zhanggong refused to say anything. He only said that this time he will be able to keep his official family and stabilize the government. Please don't panic, Queen."

"Go and investigate and ask Ye Mengding, what could threaten the official family?"

…

After a long time, a palace maid hurried over and whispered in Quanjiu's ear.

"I'm afraid it may have fallen into the hands of Princess Rui. Not long ago, Princess Rui sent someone to meet Cheng Yuanfeng in She County."

Quan Jiu's face immediately turned cold, and he was no longer as dignified as before.

She turned her face to the dark place and muttered to herself.
