For many officials, this imperial decree was too sudden. It is not that these people thought that the emperor would not support Li Huan, but that the wave of officials impeaching Li Huan years ago was too great.
.
Countless local officials wrote a letter together. If they were the ones with such momentum, they would never dare to risk the disapproval of the world. After all, the emperor is not a fool. He knows that all the officials in the world are opposed to the reform, but he still wants to confront them.
This is why all the officials seemed so relaxed when they went to court today, but who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, the emperor would unexpectedly issue such a decree.
For a moment, all the officials were stunned, looking at Gao Feng holding the imperial edict in his hand, the whole place was silent.
At this moment, Li Huan stepped forward, bowed respectfully to the emperor and said loudly: "I respectfully obey your majesty's decree."
As Li Huan came out to bow to the emperor, he saw among the ranks of nobles, headed by British Duke Zhang Lun and Cheng Guo Duke Zhu Fu. With a roar, dozens of nobles also stood up and spoke with their own
The actual actions show that the Xungui Group stands with Li Huan.
Among the hundreds of officials, Wang Yangming, the cabinet minister, slowly stood up and bowed to the emperor, expressing his attitude with his actions.
If it is only the Xungui Group that supports Li Huan, then that's fine. The civil servant group doesn't take the Xungui Group to heart at all. After all, the Xungui Group has been suppressed by their civilian group for so many years.
Feeling it.
Even though the Xungui Group is showing signs of revival this time because of Li Huan, the long-term inertial perception still makes the civil servant group look down on the Xungui Group and not take it seriously at all.
But Wang Yangming is different.
As a world-famous scholar of his generation, Wang Yangming had great influence both in official circles and among scholars.
Even though Wang Yangming has the faint imprint of Li Huan's party, due to Wang Yangming's own talent and learning, it actually has little impact on Wang Yangming's reputation.
The Xungui Group supported Li Huan, but the civil servant group was not worried. However, when Wang Yangming stepped forward, all the officials could not help but change their expressions.
As Wang Yangming stood up, he saw dozens of officials standing out among the ranks of officials.
These people are not supporting Li Huan, but supporting Wang Yangming. These officials can also be said to be Wang Yangming's supporters in the court.
After all, to be able to join the cabinet as a cabinet elder, there must be some officials who can work for him. Otherwise, if a cabinet elder does not even have officials who can help him wave the flag and shout in the court, then this cabinet elder will not be able to do anything for him.
I am always afraid that I will never be able to secure my position as Pavilion Elder.
Originally, there were four cabinet elders, Yang Tinghe, Liu Yu, Wang Hao, and Wang Yangming. Each of the four cabinet elders had his own supporters in the court.
Regarding Li Huan's tax reform, Yang Tinghe and Wang Hao were opposed to it. Liu Yu's attitude was not clear. But just looking at the wave of officials who impeached Li Huan a year ago, there were many officials from Liu Yu's line.
Find out a thing or two.
However, as Wang Hao was deposed by the emperor, there were only three cabinet elders, Yang Tinghe, Liu Yu, and Wang Yangming left in the cabinet. Naturally, the opinions of one cabinet elder became more important.
Now that Wang Yangming has come forward to support Li Huan's reforms, this means that Li Huan has helpers in the court. If the emperor wants to implement the reform method, he will have the supporters he needs.
Under such circumstances, no matter how much they objected, it was impossible for the emperor to change his mind.
After all, if all the officials in the dynasty object, then the emperor himself will issue the decree. As long as there are no officials to carry out the order, even the emperor will have nothing to do.
Now Wang Yangming and his officials have apparently solved this problem.
A series of glances fell on Wang Yangming with complex expressions, and many officials even regarded Wang Yangming as a traitor to their civil servant group at this moment.
"Wang Yangming, you..."
Some officials couldn't help but pointed at Wang Yangming and shouted angrily.
But before he finished speaking, the emperor who was sitting there suddenly shouted angrily: "How dare you, Wang Aiqing is a minister of the imperial court, how dare you be so rude in the midst of a great meeting."
The emperor was furious, and the official was so frightened that he fell to the ground.
Looking past the official, Zhu Houzhao looked at the officials, looked at the reactions of the people in his eyes and said slowly: "Tax reform is imperative. I have issued an imperial edict. This tax reform will be carried out by Li Huanqing.
The president of the family, Wang Yangmingge, always assists Li Qing, but anyone who dares to obstruct the reform will be severely punished by me."
The emperor's majesty permeated the air, causing many people to subconsciously lower their heads and dare not look at the emperor. "Retreat!"
Generally speaking, the Great Court Meeting is more about a sense of ceremony, and real major events may not necessarily need to be discussed at the Great Court Meeting. This time, Zhu Houzhao directly announced the edict through the Great Court Meeting, completely expressing his attitude to the officials around the world.
He wanted to let all officials know that he, the emperor, supported the reform.
Now that the goal had been achieved, and all the officials were having complicated thoughts at the moment, Zhu Houzhao immediately announced his withdrawal from the court. When officials reacted, the emperor was already surrounded by Gao Feng, Qiu Ju and other chamberlains.
Then he boarded the Luanjia and prepared to leave.
Even if some officials wanted to say something at this time, they had no chance. Could it be that they still wanted to stop the Emperor's Luan Jia?
As the emperor Luanjia left, the officials soon realized that some senior officials could be regarded as veterans of several dynasties, and some could even be said to be Wang Yangming's predecessors.
Each of these officials looked at Wang Yangming with complicated expressions. Some couldn't help but stepped forward and said to Wang Yangming: "Wang Yangming, do you know what you have done? Don't you know what dangers the reform will bring to our country?"
? If it is said that this reform led to the decline of our Ming Dynasty, then you, Wang Yangming, are the sinners of our Ming Dynasty, and your name will be left in the annals of history and will be infamy for thousands of years."
Looking at the gray-haired official in front of him, who could be said to be his father's old friend, Wang Yangming just said with a firm expression: "Mr. Gu, Shouren knows what he is doing. The Ming Dynasty has reached the point where it has to change. If
If you don’t change the law and strive to become stronger, then you are really in danger of the country collapsing!”
When Mr. Gu heard this, he couldn't help but open his eyes wide and looked at Wang Yangming in disbelief. He originally thought that giving him a head start would make Wang Yangming realize his return, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so decisive.
With a sudden wave of his sleeve, Mr. Gu snorted coldly and said: "Okay, okay, I will definitely write a letter to your father in person. I want to ask him whether he cares about you, this rebellious son!"
Li Huan on the side couldn't help but burst into laughter when he heard this.
Originally, everyone's attention was still on Wang Yangming and Mr. Gu, but Li Huan's smile immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Seeing the uninhibited smile on Li Huan's face, Mr. Gu couldn't help but show disdain and said: "Female thief, you are the female thief who deceived Your Majesty and tried to destroy our country, Ming Dynasty. I
Even if you die, I won't let you get what you want."
Li Huan just glanced at Gu Yang lightly and said: "I say Mr. Gu, you should live a little longer, otherwise, your new concubines will have to trouble your young masters again.
Already."
Li Huan's words were not polite at all, and they did not save any face for Gu Yang. As soon as he spoke, Gu Yang's face turned red, he pointed at Li Huan with trembling hands and said sharply: "Female thief,
Er'an dares to insult me, I will fight with you."
Li Huan actually mocked his concubines and his sons for having an affair, which was a slap in Gu Yang's face.
You must know that Gu Yang is known as a master of Neo-Confucianism, and he attaches great importance to theory in his words and deeds. Now that he was exposed by Li Huan, Gu Yang rushed towards Li Huan like he was crazy.
But the eyes of many officials around him lit up after hearing Li Huan's words. When they looked at Gu Yang, who was rushing toward Li Huan, their eyes shone with a strange look.
As we all know, Li Huan is in charge of the Jinyiwei, and the Jinyiwei supervises hundreds of officials, claiming to know everything. If it was someone else who broke such a scandal, they might not believe it.
But since it comes from Li Huan, it means that Li Huan
Nine times out of ten what you say is true.
Gu Yang was a great scholar of Neo-Confucianism, and he had a great reputation. However, Gu Yang had a hobby, which was to be a romantic and fond of beauty. He was known to have as many as twenty or thirty concubines.
Not long ago, Gu Yang took in a new concubine at the age of more than seventy. It is said that the concubine was in her prime. I don't know how many people secretly envy Gu Yang for his good health.
As a result, Li Huan now broke such big news.
Sexy news like this has always attracted the most attention. As expected, as soon as such explosive news came out, many officials even put aside other thoughts and looked at Gu Yang's excitement with interest.
Although Gu Yang is said to have a strong body, he is still in his seventies after all. He looked crazy and rushed towards Li Huan. Li Huan just dodged slightly and avoided Gu Yang.
Gu Yang chased after Li Huan frantically, but he couldn't even touch the corner of Li Huan's clothes. "Female thief, female thief, how dare you insult me."
While chasing Li Huan, he shouted, but he didn't know how embarrassed he looked.
Some officials seemed not to be able to bear Gu Yang making a joke in public, and quickly stepped forward to stop Gu Yang and comfort him: "Mr. Gu, how could you believe Li Huanzhi's words? He is clearly trying to harm you."
Pure reputation."
However, what he said was true, but looking at the expressions and reactions of the officials around him, it was clear that they did not doubt the authenticity of Li Huan's words.
Gu Yang obviously noticed the reactions of the people around him. He felt his head buzzing, and the next moment he rolled his eyes and fainted.
"It's not good, Mr. Gu passed out."
Several officials hurriedly helped Gu Yang to support him. If he fell to the ground, he would probably be in trouble even if he was fine.
Li Huan's words directly disrupted the scene, and Yang Tinghe, who saw this scene from the side, couldn't help sighing, stepped forward and said loudly: "Everyone, Mr. Gu is not feeling well and must go to see a doctor. Since your Majesty has already left,
Go, let’s break up the court meeting today.”
With Yang Tinghe's prestige, he still has a very high appeal among officials. At this time, Yang Tinghe stood up, and many officials immediately seemed to have found a backbone.
The officials dispersed, and many officials immediately gathered around Yang Tinghe, then left with Yang Tinghe surrounded.
Seeing the officials leaving, especially Gu Yang who was being carried away, Wang Yangming couldn't help but look at Li Huan with a wry smile and said, "Master Li, why is this necessary? After this, I'm afraid Master Gu will have to make a name for himself."
Sweep the floor and become the laughing stock of all the officials in the capital."
Li Huan said with a bit of disdain: "It's easy to lose his reputation. If Li Mou exposed everything that Gu Yang did to him, he would be ruined."
How many officials in the world are clean? As the saying goes, if the water is clear, there will be no fish. Li Huan, who is in charge of the Imperial Guard, is very clear about the virtues of many officials. They are really one thing on the surface and another in private.
Seeing Wang Yangming's wry smile, Li Huan smiled and said, "Sir, you can rest assured that even if your father wants to blame me, it will only be me."
Wang Yangming shook his head and said: "My father has always taught me to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country. I will not be blamed for what happened today. It's just that Yangming lamented that Mr. Gu has to suffer this fate when he is old."
Li Huan said calmly: "The fault is his own fault. Even a one-room house is full of flies and dogs. How can he be able to govern the country?"
However, a military general came up to Li Huan with curiosity on his face and said, "Sir, could it be that Mr. Gu's house is really real?" This military general was also a die-hard supporter of Li Huan, and he was able to enter because of Li Huan.
Chaotang, that is the natural party of Li Huan.
Those officials had previously targeted Li Huan, and some military generals who supported Li Huan would have been unable to suppress their temper and jumped out to scold those officials if Li Huan had not given instructions in advance.
At this moment, there was some sexy news about those civil servants. Not to mention how excited these generals were. They even made up their minds one by one. They must help spread the sexy news about Gu Yang and make everyone aware of it.
Everyone knows it.
Glancing at the general, Li Huan said, "I told a lie, do you believe it?"
The general just smiled and said: "I don't believe it, just look at the old guy's angry look. It's just an instinctive reaction after being exposed. If I tell you, he would have known it for a long time. Maybe his father and son
I’m still enjoying myself and enjoying it quite a bit.”
Just when the general looked like he had seen through everything, everything was quiet, and strange eyes fell on him.
Li Huan looked at the other party with a strange expression, coughed slightly, and said to Wang Yangming with a somewhat solemn expression: "Sir, please discuss the reform with me."
