Chapter 98: The wrath of the emperor, dismissing hundreds of officials, imprisoning the prime minist
In the court hall.
An unprecedented war occurred.
This war has nothing to do with it, but a battle between the emperor and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
It is a battle between imperial power and prime ministerial power.
Emperor Yongsheng's eyes have always been on Li Shan.
His heart was already filled with rage.
He is the emperor.
I didn't expect that I would receive such opposition because of something like this.
Does this world still belong to his Li family?
The eunuch Liu Yan on the side did not look very good-looking. In fact, he hoped that the emperor would give in if possible.
The emperor can replace any of the civil and military officials in the court at will.
But when hundreds of officials gather together, this power is terrifying.
It is no small matter for hundreds of officials to resign.
Once the emperor becomes more violent, he will attract the attention of the world. After all, in a prosperous age, it is not a good thing for hundreds of officials to resign.
However, from a middle ground, Emperor Yongsheng was indeed a little anxious about this matter.
Dongchang.
A knife hanging above the heads of hundreds of officials.
No one wants to have a shining knife above their head.
In particular, there are no treacherous or evil people in this group of people, and there is a prime minister here.
The head of hundreds of officials.
This is like setting up an agency to keep an eye on military generals in all aspects, whether it is actions or economic expenditures.
Do you think the generals are making trouble?
To put it more directly, set up an agency to specifically control the vassal kings in various places. Every move, including income and expenditure, is controlled by the court. These vassal kings are not stupid. If you check me so strictly, then I will rebel.
The same goes for officials.
Setting up an organization is not a big problem.
After all, something like this happened, and the destiny of the country was almost stolen, but we had to let our own people supervise them, not a group of eunuchs, a group of eunuchs, and a group of Tianzhi family slaves to supervise them.
In this case, they don't want to.
Anyone who agrees can just wait for the warm water to boil the frog.
In the future, if the emperor makes a mistake, should he say it or not?
Needless to say, it is the common people who are unlucky.
He said that he is the one who is unlucky.
This kind of institution cannot be run by eunuchs.
The officials' meaning was very clear. They knelt on the ground, took off their official hats, placed them on the ground, and remained silent one by one.
"good."
"OK."
"It's really good."
"In the past twelve years, I have been in office conscientiously, working hard to govern, only respecting Confucianism, recruiting talents, listening to advice, and doing three provinces every day."
"But I never imagined that we would end up in this situation."
"Well, not bad, not bad."
Emperor Yongsheng did not get angry, but spoke slowly, but everyone knew that this emperor was angry and extremely angry.
"In that case."
"Here comes someone."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke, and his eyes instantly became extremely cold at this moment.
"All of His Highness's officials will be detained in Wenxin Palace. If there is no intention to repent within three days, all official positions will be removed and replaced by officials below him."
"I will imprison Prime Minister Li Shan in the Kyoto prison again. He will not be released without my will."
"The Xuandeng Department, the Town Government Department, and the Dali Temple have joined forces to investigate these officials thoroughly. I want to see how honest and noble you are."
Emperor Yongsheng has no nonsense.
He is the emperor on horseback.
Not a weak emperor.
Making trouble, right?
Dismissed from office, right?
Then get out of here. If you want to retire and return to your hometown, right? Then get out of here.
But if you are found to have done something bad, don't blame yourself, the ruthless emperor.
As soon as this statement came out.
The faces of all the officials changed. They did not expect that the emperor's attitude would be so resolute.
To be honest, the main reason why everyone makes trouble together is because they believe that the law does not punish everyone.
In addition, everyone has such a tough attitude, so it stands to reason that the emperor should not dare to argue about anything, right?
The main thing is that Emperor Yongsheng was neither a tyrant nor a coward, but a wise king. Since he was a wise king, he would not mess around.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Yongsheng would be so ruthless, dismissing all officials and detaining the prime minister?
Are you really not afraid of something big happening?
The turnover of officials is no joke. If they don't deal with the matter for one day, the Great Xia Dynasty will be in chaos.
If they are directly dismissed, how can they handle official duties immediately even if new officials are brought in?
In addition, if a hundred officials are deposed, will the people below be allowed to take over directly? Will those aristocratic families agree? Will so many nobles in Daxia agree?
Just like the Minister of Rites, there are many forces behind it. Now the Minister of Rites has been replaced by someone from another aristocratic family, or someone with no background. Do you agree?
All in all, if we really remove hundreds of officials, the trouble we will cause will be extremely terrifying.
They believed that neither the emperor nor they wanted to see this kind of thing.
"Your Majesty, please think twice. Removing hundreds of officials is not in line with the imperial court. You are a holy king and you must not do this."
"I beg you, Your Majesty, to take back your order."
At this moment, Liu Yan was kneeling on the ground, kowtowing to Emperor Yongsheng. At this time, he had to stand up and speak.
No matter what the outcome was, he could not let the emperor do such a thing.
If he really does it, not only will it cause a big stir, but more importantly, there will be a group of people behind these officials, a group of scholars.
These scholars will inevitably curse Emperor Yongsheng, especially those scholars from powerful families, because they will also become officials in the future and are very aware of the pros and cons.
Although it seems to have nothing to do with them now, if the Dongchang is really established, they will inevitably be restricted when they become officials in the future.
Naturally, this involves a huge force.
Therefore, the establishment of the East Factory must not be so hasty, it must be carried out slowly, and the rain must be gentle and silent in order to succeed.
Emperor Yongsheng was not anxious, but was completely disappointed with all the intelligence agencies in Daxia.
Neither the Xuan Deng Division nor the Zhen Fu Division found out that the Huns were stealing the country's destiny. This made him feel in danger and made him think that there were many spies in the Daxia Dynasty.
But these eunuchs are different. They are their own slaves, slaves of the Heavenly Family. They will never betray themselves, or in other words, they will never rebel.
There may be traitors, but at least they are at the bottom of the bottom. The Great Xia Palace is also very strict. Even if these eunuchs want to spread the news, it will be difficult for them to reach the sky.
It is impossible to completely prevent it, but it is definitely ten times and a hundred times better than using these officials.
This is why Emperor Yongsheng knew that the officials would not agree, but still wanted to say it.
I just heard Liu Yan's voice.
Emperor Yongsheng did not take this opportunity to go down the steps, but looked at the officials and said coldly.
"I think I have been too kind in the past twelve years."
"What I dared to do twelve years ago."
"Twelve years later, I still dare."
"I know that there are still people among you who are scolding me for being tyrannical. In the past twelve years, I have also thought clearly about it."
"No matter what I do, I can't change my impression in your hearts."
"In this case, I don't need to talk to you anymore."
"Come here, drag them all away."
"Let the Xuan Deng Division strictly monitor the nine families of the officials and their families."
"Retreat from the court."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke, this time his voice was extremely cold, and he not only controlled hundreds of officials, but also their nine tribes.
In an instant.
The faces of all the officials changed completely.
At this moment, they suddenly woke up.
The person in front of me is not a kind person. He is an emperor who has usurped the throne, an emperor who has followed Taizu to conquer the world since he was a child.
This is Emperor Wu, who looks like Taizu in many ways, but he is not a weak emperor.
If you are so stubborn, you will indeed get into trouble.
Moreover, this emperor could really kill hundreds of officials.
Twelve years ago, the Jiande line involved hundreds of thousands of people. Any emperor would have reduced their influence and chosen to imprison and banish them.
But what about the emperor? Basically, he was killed. If the prince and some ministers had not come forward, he might have been killed.
Twelve years have passed.
They have indeed forgotten this.
The main reason is that in the past twelve years, Emperor Yongsheng has indeed listened to his advice and recruited talents.
The civil servants are becoming more and more arrogant and arrogant. After all, when the wise emperor is alive, the civil servants will naturally expand.
This was not the case during the reign of Taizu. People who disobeyed would be killed. As a result, civil servants were suppressed miserably and military commanders had a very high status.
However, Taizu's actions also caused backlash, a large number of civil servants were suppressed, and many problems arose in the country.
Right now, Emperor Yongsheng's behavior made them panic.
This is a rift between king and minister.
Some people wanted to say something, but Emperor Yongsheng had already left. The guards outside the palace walked in and took all of them to the Wenxin Hall without any nonsense.
As for Li Shan, he was directly detained and imprisoned.
It's just that Li Shan didn't regret it at all, but looked at the crowd and said.
"If the East Factory is established, the imperial court will collapse, and both civil and military officials will die."
He just said one word to warn everyone.
Because he knew that these people were panicked and a little scared, but what he knew even more clearly was that the establishment of Dongchang was definitely a knife that could fall at any time.
Civil and military officials will no longer have any say.
The emperor can be allowed to have the greatest power, but if the emperor wants to have all the power, this is not possible, and it is easy to give birth to a cowardly tyrant.
Therefore, he never agreed to the Dongchang matter and warned everyone not to mess up the situation.
Hearing this, the officials were silent.
They understood what Li Shan meant, but they didn't want to get into such a tense situation with the emperor.
Suddenly, I was in a dilemma.
But everyone knows one thing, that is, Li Shan completely offended the emperor to death.
And at the same time.
Outside the palace.
The entire Kyoto has already fallen into a state of celebration.
Gu Jinnian refused to make peace today, and made a statement for the Great Xia Dynasty. His Majesty granted him a title, held a banquet, and granted amnesty to the whole world. Isn't this a joyful event?
Now on the streets, both civilians and scholars are praising Gu Jinnian for what he did today.
Literati wrote poems praising Gu Jinnian, and the people continued to praise Gu Jinnian for what he had done these days.
Moreover, major theaters also immediately invited some scholars to write scripts, that is, to write today's events into dramas.
The reason is very simple. Whether it is an ordinary theater troupe in Tianqiao, Kyoto, or some courtyard theater troupes, they have already rehearsed the drama of Gu Jinnian redressing the injustice of the people.
The venue was full, including common people, scholars, and some businessmen. They were so passionate about it that it even attracted applause and rewards.
To theatergoers, Gu Jinnian is simply a treasure, a real treasure.
And this kind of thing will not be controlled. After all, it will indirectly expand Gu Jinnian's reputation, and it is not just the case in Kyoto. The drama of redressing the injustice of the people has already spread to all the theater troupes of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Things that are popular in Kyoto will also spread to other counties.
Nowadays, speaking up for the country is no small matter.
But compared to the liveliness of Kyoto.
The Dajin Dynasty and the Fuluo Dynasty also received the news three hours later.
At this moment.
The Great Jin Dynasty.
In the palace.
An old man sat on the dragon chair, frowning while listening to the news delivered by the eunuch.
"Great Emperor."
"The Xiongnu Kingdom has sent people to send letters, hoping that the Jin Dynasty can come forward to deal with this matter."
The old eunuch opened his mouth, looked at the great golden emperor, and said so.
On the Dragon Throne.
The Emperor of Jin Dynasty was silent, and his old face was full of calmness.
After a long time, his voice sounded.
"Let the King of the Xiongnu investigate clearly how the Great Xia Dynasty discovered the theft of national destiny."
"Let the people from Daikin inquire about this information."
"Tell the Xiongnu Kingdom that if the Daxia Dynasty really goes to war with the Xiongnu, the Dajin Dynasty will step in to mediate. In a simple confrontation, Dajin will not intervene. If the twelve cities are involved, the Dajin Dynasty will provide partial assistance."
"As long as the Daxia Dynasty does not invade the real territory of the Xiongnu Kingdom, the Jin Dynasty cannot declare war with the Daxia Dynasty."
"Let him prepare himself."
Emperor Jin said this.
This is his attitude and his thoughts.
When the two countries are at war, the Jin Dynasty can intervene to mediate, but it can only mediate and tell the other party that it is paying attention.
If a fight really breaks out, and the twelve cities are not involved, the Dajin Dynasty will not be able to provide too much assistance. In other words, the Daxia Dynasty also has its own national reputation, so it is impossible for such a big thing to happen, so just treat it as nothing?
Dynasties must also consider each other. This is a matter of decency.
Although the Great Jin Dynasty hoped that the Great Xia Dynasty would not develop, some things should not be taken too far. The struggle between the great powers should not be too sharp. It must be done slowly. It is impossible to destroy the other side at once.
On the contrary, it will attract criticism.
To put it bluntly, since I can no longer survive, I will let anyone who messes with me die.
This is the mentality, who can withstand it?
"According to the decree."
The old eunuch spoke and responded.
Then Emperor Jin spoke again.
"What's going on with Daikin Academy now?"
Emperor Dajin asked.
"Your Majesty, with Mr. Su here, everything is stable, and I have many rich and talented people. When the Sihai Poetry Festival comes, I will definitely shine."
The old eunuch smiled and praised.
"The Sihai Poetry Society is nothing, it's just a poetry meeting, and since Daxia has Gu Jinnian, any poetry meeting can't compare to him."
"Dajin did not send any real talents to this Daxia Poetry Festival."
"The Grand Ceremony of Jixia Academy is really important. Tell Mr. Su and ask him to hurry up a little. The Grand Ceremony of Jixia Academy is extremely important. The academic battle and the literary battle are the main battlefields for Dajin students."
"Poetry club? No matter how good it is, it's just some heresy, academics are the king."
Emperor Dajin said with a serious expression.
The Sihai Poetry Society was more grand than the Great Xia Poetry Society, but in front of the Emperor of Jin Dynasty, this was nothing. The most important thing was the academic dispute between Confucianism and Taoism, which was the key.
What's the use of reciting poetry? It's just a heresy.
"According to the decree."
The old eunuch spoke, and then slowly left the hall.
After the old eunuch leaves.
Emperor Dajin was still sitting on the dragon throne, wondering what he was thinking about.
Then, a figure came outside the main hall. It was the Twelfth Prince. He walked in directly.
After entering the palace, directly close the palace door.
"My son, I bow to my father."
"May my father live long, long live."
This is the twelfth prince of Dajin.
The twelfth prince who went to Daxia to participate in the poetry festival,
"Twelve, how do you evaluate this Gu Jinnian? Is he a threat to Daikin?"
Emperor Dajin's tone was calm, but his eyes contained an awe-inspiring look.
"Going back to my father, Gu Jinnian is very talented. He is indeed a great talent in the world. However, he has a rather impulsive personality. After all, he is a top dignitary in Daxia. It is normal to be a little arrogant. Overall, he is very smart, but not very threatening."
The Twelve Prince spoke, this was his evaluation of Gu Jinnian.
Smart is smart, and there is no need to say that he is talented, but when it comes to whether he can pose a threat to Daikin, the Twelve Prince doesn't think he can do it.
The Dajin Dynasty is the first dynasty in the Eastern Barren, so what does a mere Gu Jinnian mean?
If you want to say that the Great Xia Dynasty poses a threat to the Great Jin Dynasty, he agrees.
Gu Jinnian is nothing.
The most important thing is that this Gu Jinnian acts impulsively, which no big shot would do.
With such a character, it is extremely easy for others to find flaws. He is not really a person, let alone a threat.
But as soon as he said this, Emperor Dajin couldn't help but snorted coldly.
Hearing his father's cold snort, the twelfth prince's expression suddenly changed, he lowered his head and remained silent.
Wait for the sermon.
"This is why you are ranked twelve."
"Gu Jinnian is the grandson of the Duke of Daxia Town. He comes from a family of military generals and has cultivated a great talent in Confucianism and Taoism."
"And you said he was impulsive. Have you ever thought that this Gu Jinnian obviously has such a great talent, but he has hidden it for more than ten years."
"It takes ten years to sharpen a sword, but the frost blade has never been tested."
"It's not scary to hide alone for ten years."
"But how old was Gu Jinnian ten years ago? He was only six or seven years old. He knew how to tolerate it when he was six or seven years old, and he endured it for ten years."
"Even all your brothers, even the eldest, when they were six or seven years old, wanted to show off their talents. What's more important is that this Gu Jinnian is an only son, and he is not the kind of person who suffers unfair treatment."
"He was able to tolerate it for ten years under such circumstances. It would be difficult for any of the three dynasties to find such a scheming city."
Emperor Dajin spoke, and the twelfth prince thought that Gu Jinnian had an impulsive personality.
But Emperor Dajin had a completely different view of Gu Jinnian.
"You said he acted impulsively. Think about it for yourself. Which of the things he did was not based on reason?"
"In the Jiangning County crisis, Gu Jinnian defended the people's grievances. It seemed impulsive, but in fact he won the hearts of the people."
"The Confucius favored other countries. Gu Jinnian stood up for his country's scholars, and did not hesitate to offend them to win their hearts."
"This time, Gu Jinnian forcibly stopped the Huns' marriage and won the hearts of the people again."
"You think he is impulsive, but if you are his enemy, how can you raise issues?"
Emperor Dajin continued to speak.
In an instant, the expressions of the Twelve Princes couldn't help but change.
If you think about it carefully, it's really true.
It seems impulsive, but in fact, every time I get huge benefits.
And everything is done flawlessly and without leakage.
Assuming that I was Gu Jinnian's enemy, I really couldn't fault him.
Gu Jinnian redressed the grievances of the people, how could he impeach him? Impeaching Gu Jinnian should not redress the grievances of the people, right? Or should he impeach Gu Jinnian for a lower crime? Transgressing the rules? But impeaching the most powerful man in Daxia by himself would be a lower crime? Transgressing the rules.
What's wrong with Gu Jinnian making a big fuss about the Kong family? It was you, Kong Yu, who invited him over, and it wasn't Gu Jinnian who came uninvited.
So what if I come uninvited?
Breaking into a private house is nothing more than being imprisoned for a few days or paying some silver. But the question is who dares to punish?
Gu Jinnian couldn't find any problems with this marriage. The Huns wanted to steal Daxia's national destiny, and no one could stand it.
It's useless even if you can't produce evidence, because you can't afford to bet, not even the slightest possibility.
"Father, why is this?"
"It stands to reason that the Gu family is so powerful that they should be more low-key, but this Gu Jinnian is so impulsive and gives the impression that he is not useful and likes to act on impulse. But why is everything he does so impeccable?"
The Twelve Prince became more and more shocked and weird as he thought about it. He couldn't figure out why and could only look at his father.
I heard my son ask.
Emperor Jin's eyes brightened at this moment.
"Because everything he does is doing things for the Emperor of Daxia."
"Whether it's the emperor's order or not, he always follows the imperial authority in everything he does."
The Great Jin Emperor revealed the core.
For a moment, the Twelve Princes were stunned.
He also understood.
Yes, everything Gu Jinnian did was actually what the emperor wanted to do. In other words, no matter what the process was, the result would definitely not be dangerous.
Because the emperor wanted to see this result.
This ability of understanding made the twelfth prince stay in place instantly.
In his mind, Gu Jinnian was indeed an impulsive person who liked to act on his own initiative.
But now, with his father's instructions, he seemed to see clearly who Gu Jinnian was.
"Then Father, do you need to find a way to suppress him?"
The Twelve Prince continued to ask, this kind of person is so terrifying, he is curious whether he should take action to suppress him?
"No."
"You met him once, so there should be no enmity, right?"
Emperor Dajin asked.
"No, although we are not familiar with each other, we still left a good impression on each other."
The Twelve Prince thought about it for a while and then gave this answer.
"good."
"Befriend him deeply, invite him to come to the Jin Dynasty, and give him all the power. If he asks you for anything, as long as it does not involve the secrets of the country, you can help."
"If you suppress him, it will make him hate Dajin and help Daxia wholeheartedly, but if you treat him with great courtesy."
"Whenever he has a conflict with the court, he will read his big gold."
"Secondly, if Daxia knew about it, he would also be on guard and suppress him."
"Thirdly, at the critical moment, we can design it so that he has to betray the Xia Dynasty."
"No matter whether it advances or retreats, the Dajin Dynasty will not suffer any losses, do you understand?"
Emperor Jin spoke, this was his idea.
Instead of suppressing Gu Jinnian, we should establish a friendly relationship with Gu Jinnian. After all, Gu Jinnian will enter the court sooner or later. When he gets to the court, he will always encounter unpleasant things, right?
At this time, Gu Jinnian will definitely think about the Jin Dynasty. If Gu Jinnian really encounters something unfair and feels aggrieved, it is really possible to poach such talented people.
Even if this kind of thing doesn't happen, the Jin Dynasty has a very good relationship with him. Think about it, the most powerful person in Daxia has a close relationship with the princes of other countries. Can the emperor sit still?
Can't sit still.
What is the result of not being able to sit still? That is, suppression. Under alienation, coupled with the strong power of the Gu family, extreme things can easily happen.
The Gu family was destroyed, and the Jin Dynasty made a profit.
The Gu family was not destroyed, but suffered a catastrophe. Gu Jinnian came to Dajin, and the Dajin Dynasty made even more money.
If nothing happens and the relationship between the two parties is good, Gu Jinnian would be embarrassed to target the Jin Dynasty, right?
Or maybe you will be more or less compassionate?
In this way, the Jin Dynasty can only make profits, but not losses.
In an instant, the Twelve Princes suddenly realized.
"My son, I understand, my father is truly wise."
The Twelve Prince spoke, full of joy.
"Do this properly and just report it directly to me."
"If this matter is handled well, after a few years, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to work on the matter of making you king."
The Emperor of Jin spoke out and asked the Twelve Princes to do this.
At the same time, he was promised the throne.
At this time, the twelfth prince couldn't help but be overjoyed. He was the twelfth prince. It was impossible for him to take the throne, and he had no idea.
But being crowned king is what he dreams of.
In the Great Jin Dynasty, the prince may not necessarily be crowned king. Although the one who can be crowned king is not as good as the emperor, but he will also be a local emperor in the future. It is better than staying in the capital and being raised in captivity in the future, right?
"Thank you, Father."
The twelfth prince knelt down and knelt down to worship. His words were filled with excitement.
And at this time.
Fuluo Dynasty.
In the main hall, two emperors stood on the left and right.
On the left is the Shinra Emperor, who is around middle age and shows no signs of decline. In fact, he is a hundred years old this year.
On the right is Emperor Fusang, a woman, apparently middle-aged, but possessing a kind of charm and majesty.
The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were standing on the left and right, and they were debating whether Daxia should declare war on the Xiongnu and whether Fuluo should send reinforcements.
Both sides have their own opinions.
But in the end, Emperor Shinra spoke.
"In the conflict between the two countries, the Ministry of Rites steps in to mediate, only to mediate."
"If the war involves the twelve cities, Fu Luo will help secretly."
"If it involves the inner city, Fu Luo will directly declare war on Daxia."
Emperor Shinra spoke, this is what he meant.
The emperor spoke, and the ministers were silent for a while, but in the end they said nothing more.
After all, the Huns were indeed very important.
In this way, this is the attitude of the two dynasties, which is almost the same, but the situation is like this, and there is no other plan.
soon.
The next day.
Something about the Daxia court was vaguely spread.
The news of hundreds of officials resigning gradually spread.
After all, the civil and military officials had not come out since they entered the court yesterday, so they could not hide it. Coupled with some rumors circulating in the palace, the matter suddenly caused an uproar.
The prince, the king of Qin, the king of Wei, and even some other princes also set out one after another to come to the palace to meet with the Holy Emperor.
Ask Emperor Yongsheng to forgive all officials.
But what the outcome will be, no one knows yet.
Inside the Great Summer Palace.
In the Hall of Nourishing Heart.
Dozens of princes, led by the prince, all knelt outside the palace.
They came to intercede with the officials.
The prince, in particular, had a resolute attitude, hoping that Emperor Yongsheng would not set up an east factory and exempt all officials from the crime of speaking out.
It's just that these remarks sounded extremely harsh in the ears of Emperor Yongsheng.
They even scolded the prince angrily, but this time all the princes came. Although they also wished the prince bad luck, these princes also knew clearly about this matter.
If all officials are really dismissed, no one will benefit. They must come forward and Emperor Yongsheng must take back the imperial edict.
No one can hide.
The matter is too involved.
"My son, please ask your father to take back his life for the sake of the health of Daxia."
The voice sounded again.
Every time the incense was burned, the prince would speak, kneeling and shouting outside the palace.
The other princes also shouted after him.
Such a voice made Emperor Yongsheng in the Yangxin Hall even more angry.
"It's really the opposite."
Emperor Yongsheng took a deep breath and clenched his fists, he was really angry.
It's okay for officials to cause trouble for you.
His sons are also causing trouble for him.
angry.
Extremely angry.
But Emperor Yongsheng couldn't do anything. He couldn't even destroy his own son?
This is unrealistic.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and the others have been kneeling outside for a long time. The Crown Prince himself is frail and sick. If he continues like this, something will happen."
"Your Majesty, I beg your Majesty to take back your life. All the mistakes you made are all the fault of your servants. Please calm down your Majesty."
Wei Xian and Liu Yan knelt on the ground, crying bitterly.
The matter is so big, and they don't want Emperor Yongsheng to continue to be in a stalemate with officials like this.
If this continues, something big will happen.
They followed the emperor and knew the size of the matter, so naturally they would not mess around.
"Shut up."
Emperor Yongsheng just spoke coldly.
This time he was determined to remove all officials.
If you regress today, will you regress in everything in the future?
Yesterday he was informing the officials, not discussing with them.
How can he not be annoyed now?
The two of them were silent, but they still knelt on the ground and did not raise their heads.
The palace is quiet.
Apart from the pleas from outside, there was no other sound.
After a quarter of an hour.
Emperor Yongsheng stood up and looked at Wei Xiandao.
"Are you ready for the two hundred thousand taels of gold and silver notes that my nephew asked you to prepare?"
Emperor Yongsheng suddenly spoke and mentioned this matter.
"Back to Your Majesty, everything is ready."
Wei Xian answered loudly.
The next moment, Emperor Yongsheng stood up.
"Let's go, I will send it to him myself."
"I'm too lazy to stay here. If I stay any longer, I'm really going to kill someone."
Emperor Yongsheng spoke with violence in his eyes. He did not tell lies. If he continues like this, he will really kill a group of people.
Upon hearing this, the two of them immediately stood up and followed Emperor Yongsheng without hesitation.
As Emperor Yongsheng came out, the princes and princes outside the palace also began to plead for mercy.
But Emperor Yongsheng didn't even look at it and left directly.
So, two quarters of an hour later.
Daxia Academy.
Go inside the church.
In the school, Gu Jinnian was attending class as usual. After he came back yesterday, he was forced to drink wine all night long, so that he just woke up after three o'clock in the morning.
The matter of speaking for the country has a huge impact, and the people in the academy are all classmates and friends, and all of them have entered Qilin Pavilion.
Naturally, I cannot refuse everyone's good intentions.
So I bite the bullet and attend the banquet.
at this time.
In the school, many people looked sad and discussed matters about the court.
"Alas, the establishment of the East Factory went smoothly, but now there is a conflict between His Majesty and the officials, and it is really causing trouble. Your Majesty is really worried. Maybe what happened twelve years ago will happen again. It would be an unreasonable disaster."
"Yes, my father hasn't come back yet. This time things are probably many times scarier than we imagined. I just hope the final result won't be too bad."
"The matter regarding the Xiongnu has not yet been decided. Your Majesty has declared war, but the Ministry of War has not started to operate. It is not a good thing for me, Daxia, to have such a thing happen at this juncture."
"It must be these eunuchs and treacherous ministers who have deceived Your Majesty and even set up some kind of east factory. They just want to take power. They are really hateful."
"Hey, regardless of whether he is hateful or not, the most urgent task now is not who is right or wrong, but how to resolve the conflict between His Majesty and the officials. This is the problem."
"The imperial power is supreme. It is indeed not good for the officials to be so provocative. It is reasonable and reasonable for His Majesty to be furious if he violates the imperial power. But the establishment of the East Factory is indeed not good. We already have the Xuan Deng Department and the Zhenfu Department. There is another one.
Dongchang is really inappropriate."
In the school, the students were talking to each other, and some were worried. After all, the father at home has not returned yet.
Some people are afraid that what happened twelve years ago will happen again. If this happens, the Nine Clan will be killed.
No one wants to die, especially these powerful people.
There are still people who hate these eunuchs, but there are still some people who are sober and understand the problem, and have nothing to do with the eunuchs.
Listen to everyone speak.
Gu Jinnian seemed very calm. Such a big matter was indeed troublesome.
Especially in Daxia at this moment, the biggest problem is with the Huns. It is best not to have any internal problems, otherwise, the trouble will be even greater.
However, Gu Jinnian could understand his uncle's intentions.
To put it bluntly, it means stabilizing the imperial power. It means very simple.
But Gu Jinnian can understand the behavior of hundreds of officials better. After all, he is controlled by a group of eunuchs. Who can be convinced?
Even if some great scholars are asked to take charge, they are willing and willing to do so.
After all, the Confucian scholar was not the emperor's servant, and he acted according to everyone's rules.
But eunuchs are different. They are purely the emperor's people, the eagles of the court, and the slaves of the heaven. Who would want to do this?
To put it in detail, it is the struggle between imperial power and prime ministerial power.
The supremacy of imperial power, to put it simply, the advantage is great unification, and there is no need to worry about the problem of a traitor. After all, the emperor cannot be a traitor, right?
But the disadvantage is also very simple. The ministers have no power. They used to be shareholders, but now they have become wage earners. How many people are willing?
The advantage of the balance of imperial power is that if anything happens, everyone can discuss it, and the emperor has the greatest power. Basically, if you ask, we will let you go, as long as it is not too illegal.
You have to give us some benefits, otherwise we will have no energy to work, and the work will not be done well, which will make you unhappy, and your house will be raided at any time, so who can bear it?
The disadvantages are also obvious, the emperor's words have no effect.
In fact, this thing has been a thorny problem since ancient times.
If you want to be a wise king, you must have a balance between imperial power and official power.
If you want to be a tyrant, that's fine. You are the boss. If you don't obey, you will be killed.
As long as you don't worry about your subjects rebelling against the country, there won't be any big problem.
But throughout the ages, how many emperors did not want to be a good emperor? Most emperors had a dream of being a good emperor.
After his death, he was praised by others and his reputation was passed down through the ages.
It's just that there are often few emperors who can be wise kings.
The reason is very simple, because it is not the emperor who has the final say, nor the people, but the civil and military officials of the dynasty, and the scholars all over the world who have the final say.
So since they have the final say, you have to give in and listen to advice.
The ministers compiled a set of Confucian sage standards for conduct and gave them to the emperor. If you follow these standards, you will be a sage and a wise king.
If you don't follow this path, you will be a tyrant and a coward.
It's that simple.
Therefore, the fundamental contradiction in this matter is that one wants to dominate one family and completely take away all the power of officials, while the other is a group of officials, where all retail investors gather together to fight against the major shareholders.
The one who wins or loses is the Great Xia Dynasty.
"His Royal Highness, why don't you go to the palace, talk to His Majesty, and say something nice? After all, you have a good relationship with His Majesty, maybe His Majesty will listen to your advice?"
Suddenly, someone spoke up and said this.
As soon as he said this, many people couldn't help but look at Gu Jinnian.
Don't tell me, this is a way.
However, when Gu Jinnian heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"The civil and military officials of the dynasty are all going to ask for mercy from the princes and princes. It doesn't matter if I go or not."
Gu Jinnian won't go.
This matter is too big and very tense, especially since my uncle is probably very angry right now.
Run over by yourself, no matter what you say, even if you can finally convince your uncle, you will definitely be criticized in the process.
Even the two hundred thousand taels of gold demanded may be gone.
It's better to calm down for a moment, after all, the civil and military officials are indeed a bit arrogant.
Although the emperor has something wrong, you actually don't give him any face? How damn arrogant.
You can just say that you want to be a bit lazy, just say that we will discuss it again and wait until the matter of the Huns is resolved, and then we will discuss it again. I believe the emperor will agree.
But it's tough.
You seem to be a famous minister, right?
It seems that you are loyal to Daxia, right?
This is to bully his old uncle and want to be a wise king. As long as his old uncle does not usurp the throne and chop off a group of people's heads, Gu Jinnian feels that it is not possible.
"His Royal Highness, you are resourceful and you will definitely be able to come up with a solution. How about you come up with a solution and let Mr. Wenjing intercede?"
"This is good, this is good."
"Brother Jinnian, just think of a way."
Everyone spoke up, especially Yang Hanrou, who looked a little sad. After all, her grandfather was the unluckiest and caused a lot of trouble.
Now Long Yan is furious. She is afraid that something big will happen to her grandfather, so she naturally regards Gu Jinnian as a life-saving straw.
Hearing this, Gu Jinnian coughed slightly.
Slightly gentle on the face.
"You are all honored."
"However, it's not impossible."
"Actually, it's easy to solve this matter. All you need is for your Majesty or the officials to make a concession."
Gu Jinnian spoke up.
As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent.
Saying this is the same as not saying it.
"If you don't retreat, then there is no solution?"
Someone continued to ask, asking about Gu Jinnian.
"It would be easier if you don't give in."
Gu Jinnian gave the answer.
It's just to create atmosphere. After all, this is a school and not many people come.
But at this moment.
A familiar voice sounded.
"oh?"
"How about a simple way?"
"Tell me about it."
As the sound rang out.
In the school, it suddenly became quiet.
