Chapter 622 I, Yan Shaoting, will shoulder it all!
Killing intent.

Following Yan Shaoting's voice, it came towards me.

In the entire Huangjimen Square, everyone felt chilled to the bone.

In their eyes, the young Grand Secretary of the Huangji Palace really dared to lead the emperor and the loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty to fight for the country again.

even.

Some are already speculating.

Perhaps this sentence is what Yan Shaoting really wants to do.

What is the name of the new school of thought published in Changping newspapers in recent years?
Start over again?
This is very scary!

Because Yan Shaoting is really not afraid.

But if you think about it more deeply, this matter is actually no pressure at all for Yan Shaoting or the royal family.

Once again communicate inside and outside, and lead the Mongols into the south?

But you have to know.

The Beijing Camp is no longer the same as before.

The Nine Sides are no longer the same as before.

Qi Jiguang led nearly 100,000 troops to garrison the new borders of Hetao and Yinshan.

No matter if there was a problem in the Northwest or Xuanda, he could immediately lead troops to suppress it.

As long as foreign enemies cannot get in, it doesn't matter even if there are beacons of war in the local area.

However, as long as the imperial court patiently explained to the people what the land tax distribution and the unified tax payment meant, even if there were people who wanted to force the people to rebel, they would not be able to do so.

The people are ignorant and stupid.

But the people also have sharp eyes.

This is the overall situation of the Ming Dynasty today.

A complex emotion gradually arose in people's hearts.

Who could have thought that the country would develop to this point?
In front of Huangji Gate.

Yan Shaoting glanced at everyone with a cold gaze.

If he wasn't reluctant to tear his own yard into pieces, he really wanted to take the little brat with him to conquer the country again.

After all, no matter how poor the family is, there are still some bottles and jars.

A soft sigh sounded.

Under the bewildered gaze of everyone, Yan Shaoting first bowed to the little emperor sitting on the throne of the Huangji Sect, and then took a step forward.

The crowd began to stir.

Because it's unknown.

They now have no idea what Yan Shaoting is trying to do.

So they began to breed fear and panic.

Even Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and others were confused and heavy-hearted at this moment.

Zhang Juzheng took a step forward and stretched out his hand: "Moisten things!"

Yan Shaoting did not stop, but turned to look at Zhang Shuda and smiled.

Then he kept walking forward.

He stepped onto the Neiwulong Bridge.

The officials on both sides of Wulong Bridge all looked sideways, their eyes always on Yan Shaoting.

When he reached the end of the line of officials attending today's grand court meeting, these people had already started moving.

The trains also became chaotic.

Yan Shaoting suddenly stopped.

He turned around and looked at the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone looked stunned.

Yan Shaoting looked at them calmly: "Have I given you permission to move?"

A cold sound.

The whole audience was stunned.

Yan Shaoting looked around the crowd again: "Where is the Imperial Censor? How dare you forget your duty?"

Following his scolding.

The censors who were supposed to maintain order in the court meeting reacted instantly.

"reset!"

"If there is any disruption of class again, you will be fined copper coins according to the law!"

The imperial censors all spoke out to suppress and rebuke the civil and military officials.

They were afraid too.

Now only God knows what Yan Shaoting is trying to do.

Who knows if he will suddenly become murderous in the next second, and with a single order, he will slaughter all the people in front of the Huangji Gate today.

Now the blood has flowed like a river in Jiangnan.

I don’t know how much blood there is in the misty rain of Jiangnan.

There are only a few hundred people here, probably not worth the other party's attention.

Yan Shaoting walked all the way to the entrance of Wenhua Hall.

Although several years have passed.

However, the two pieces of land in front of the Wenhua Hall have remained cultivated.

The little emperor never forgot this lesson.

Even though he recently ascended the throne, he never neglected it. Instead, he even tentatively proposed whether he could reclaim a few acres of vacant land in the West Garden as he wanted to plant more different crops.

This was of course rejected by Yan Shaoting.

What I want is a wise and benevolent king, not a peasant king.

But in the end he still discussed with Feng Bao and reclaimed more than ten acres of land beside the Taiye Lake in the Western Garden. The little emperor gave the order and ordered the palace people to plant a batch of crops.

Now standing here.

Yan Shaoting looked around, then picked a vegetable and pulled out a whole bean sprout from the nearest field.

He returned with the things.

Disciple of Huangji.

As he suddenly left without saying goodbye, but left everyone waiting there, everyone became curious.

Gao Gong even looked at the emperor on the throne, and then pulled Zhang Juzheng, frowning and asking, "What is he going to do today?"

According to Gao Gong's logic, Zhang Juzheng has now returned to Beijing and joined the cabinet.

When he is promoted to a higher rank and leaves the court, the cabinet will be controlled by Yan Shaoting and Zhang Juzheng.

Such a big thing happened today. Logically, Yan Shaoting should have informed Zhang Juzheng in advance.

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said, "Prime Minister, I know what Runwu wants to do, but I have no idea what he is going to do today."

After saying this, Zhang Juzheng sighed in his heart.

He had been working in Jiangnan for the past few years and was worried about how the country would develop.

But now I'm back.

Before he could make any effort, he discovered that Yan Shaoting's approach was more radical than he had expected.

Oh my God!

Even if I wanted to implement the policy of equalizing land tax and paying taxes on a unified basis, I never thought of killing so many people in Jiangnan.

Am I being too conservative?

Zhang Juzheng, who originally considered himself a radical, actually began to doubt himself.

Gao Gong was also disappointed because he did not get a reply from Zhang Juzheng.

He shook his head: "This old man... This old man really can't understand the young people nowadays."

suddenly.

He turned around and looked at the emperor on the throne.

Then a strange idea suddenly came into the mind of the cabinet chief.

He suddenly and inappropriately pulled Zhang Juzheng to his side, and their bodies were almost pressed against each other.

Gao Gong lowered his voice and spoke in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Do you think... he wants to return the saint to the king and take all the blame on himself?!"

Zhang Juzheng's expression changed.

He raised his head and looked at Gao Gong in surprise.

Gao Gong felt more and more that his guess was correct: "He taught the emperor himself, or even raised him. I often heard that his daughter Wuyou spent less time with him than the emperor did. He probably couldn't bear to see his holy name tarnished."

Zhang Juzheng had a strange look on his face and pursed his lips tightly.

Gao Gong took a deep breath and said, "It's only right that he should be. He raised and taught me, so I must have high hopes for him. The prosperity of the Ming Dynasty depends on the current emperor. The reform and changes, the countless infamy, he, Yan Shaoting, must have thought about shouldering all of this!"

Yan Shaoting shoulders all the criticism?
Zhang Juzheng was shocked.

Although Gao Gong was whispering.

But these words contain such great ambition and determination.

If Yan Shaoting really does this...

There was a ripple in Zhang Juzheng's eyes.

If this is true, then Zhang Taiyue is far inferior to Yan Runwu in this life!

Just as the two were discussing and speculating.

Yan Shaoting was already walking back leisurely with green vegetables and bean sprouts in his hands.

He was holding something in his hand and didn't cover it, so everyone could see it.

What is this for?
Everyone became suspicious.

Yan Shaoting walked back to Huangji Gate, beckoned Feng Bao to bring a table, and placed the green vegetables and bean sprouts on it. Then Yan Shaoting waved his hand and pointed at the two objects.

"Since the second year of the Longqing reign, I have been ordered to teach your Majesty the former farming. Your Majesty is intelligent and diligent. Since then, you have personally cultivated the fields in the Wenhua Palace every year, and every year there is a harvest, the crops are lush and the grains are abundant."

"A few fen, not even an acre of land, can feed dozens of people in the palace and keep them from starving."

"Our great Ming dynasty has millions of hectares of farmland. Why couldn't we ensure that all the people in the world were well fed since the time of Emperor Taizu Gao?"

Yan Shaoting's face was cold and gloomy. "I have been studying in recent years and have been thinking about it. The answer to this question is that people's desires are not enough, but greed is too much! The land could feed the whole world, but the people are wandering around without a home and have no food to eat. It's all because of the greed of the gentry and the powerful. They hurt the people to enrich themselves, take the people's rice, and steal the country's wealth. The upper and lower classes are all poor, but the middle class is rich and worry-free."

"There is no such thing in the world, and such a thing should not happen!"

Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, who had already made some guesses, looked unhappy.

Above, the young emperor Zhu Yijun, who was sitting on the throne on the imperial platform under the Huangji Gate, had his eyes wide open.

The little emperor stared closely at the vegetables and bean sprouts on the table in front of him.

I planted it myself in the spring this year!

Before going to court today, I ate vegetables grown on that land!
Although I no longer have the joy and indescribable deliciousness I felt when I first tasted the crops I grew a few years ago, I still feel satisfied and at peace.

Yan Shaoting changed the subject and looked solemn.

"The reforms of the Ming Dynasty can be said to be magnificent."

This is an attributive.

He was discussing reform.

Everyone looked solemn.

And Yan Shaoting's voice continued to be heard.

“Everyone is in the torrent. During this period, many people stand on the crest of the tide through their own efforts, or... luck.”

"On the crest of this wave, there are endless opportunities, endless temptations, and endless risks. It all depends on how you grasp them."

“Looking into the future is far less clear than looking into the past.”

"Excitement and confusion are intertwined in everyone's heart."

“So, keep a sense of awe in your heart.”

"Looking at other things can be blurry..."

"But you must be clear about the bottom line!"

A long sigh.

The voice was full of heaviness.

Yan Shaoting placed his palm on the table, and under his palm were common things like green vegetables and bean sprouts.

He added: "Never go against the laws of the country. Only in this way, whether you are an official or a citizen, can you live a stable and peaceful life."

During these four years.

He kept asking himself this question in Changping Academy.

Why did the Ming Dynasty become like this and how to solve it.

And he himself was also in the midst of such a torrent, so how should he deal with it?

It was not until this time when he was entrusted with a mission in a time of crisis, returned to the court and took control of power that he began to understand.

Under the worried gaze of everyone.

Yan Shaoting lowered his head and looked at the civil and military officials kneeling on both sides of the imperial road.

"You have bowed before the emperor and begged for mercy today, so I do not wish to investigate you any further."

"But... the court can no longer accommodate you."

This statement came out.

The hundreds of civil and military officials who were kneeling on the ground were suddenly in great confusion.

The two groups of civil and military officials, the eastern and western, were also noisy.

This time, the imperial censors performed their duties faithfully and kept scolding.

"Master, Master, we are wrong."

"It is us who behaved unruly today, offended the young... God, and interfered with the new policies of the country."

"We plead guilty, and we ask Master to forgive our stupidity."

"Please forgive me, Master!"

"From today on, we will serve the king faithfully and will never say a word again."

"Please forgive me, Master..."

On both sides of the imperial road.

The officials knelt on the ground and begged for forgiveness.

This time.

They really cried.

Not for others, but only for your own future.

The cries continued one after another.

Officials on both sides looked away.

Yan Shaoting waved forward.

Groups of Dongchang guards, Jinyiwei Tiqi and the palace guards red-helmeted generals flocked to the scene.

Yan Shaoting spoke coldly, "I was appointed by the late emperor to assist the new monarch, support the country, and take charge of the central government to carry out reforms and make the country prosperous. You are behaving badly today, whether for Jiangnan or for yourselves, I don't care. But under the new government and the new monarch, it is really difficult to tolerate you."

"I am the Junior Tutor, the Grand Tutor of the Crown Prince, and the Grand Secretary of the Imperial Palace. I have the inner circle and extraordinary power. I should plan for the emperor and the country. I will dismiss you from your posts, abolish your titles, and deprive you of your bodies."

After Yan Shaoting finished speaking, he immediately looked at the tigers and wolves that had been summoned.

A cold shout.

"Why don't you strip these people of their hats and robes, take off their official robes!"

Give an order.

Tigers and wolves move together.

Yan Shaoting's voice also came slowly: "You have all been deposed. Under the national government and the new law, there will be no preferential treatment. You will all be sent back to your hometowns today. The court has its own factory guards to run parallel. After you return to your hometowns, you must quickly return your land and pay taxes. Don't be a scoundrel and stubborn, and be willing to be a good citizen of our dynasty."

In troubled times, important codes should be used.

The same is true when it comes to change!

Without bloodshed, how can there be new colors in the world?

There was a solemn atmosphere in front of Huangji Gate.

No one dared to violate Yan Shaoting's will at this time.

At this moment, his will even surpassed the imperial power.

The wailing gradually became less frequent.

Until it disappears without a trace.

There was silence in the square.

Maybe some people are insecure.

Yan Shaoting turned around, looked at Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng and others, and then walked to the Huangji Gate.

He smiled and whispered, "Your Majesty."

The young emperor Zhu Yijun also had a very bright smile on his face.

He nodded heavily: "Learn..."

He saw the gentleman's face change.

Zhu Yijun quickly changed his words and said, "I know that Junior Master is loyal to the country. Junior Master was ordered by our father, the late emperor, to assist me. What he did this time was for the country. I agree to it."

After saying this, the little emperor quickly let out a sigh of relief.

Scared to death.

I almost said the wrong thing.

But I just don’t understand. I am clearly the teacher’s student, but the teacher doesn’t want me to address him as teacher or student.

Could it be that sir is still afraid that I will be afraid of him?

It seems to be the word fear.

Zhu Yijun tilted his head, his mind suddenly becoming distracted.

Even if the master is unwilling, I actually want him to handle state affairs for me. Anyway, the master will not harm me. On the contrary, who knows whether these ministers in front of me will harm me and make me like Emperor Wuzong, without an heir, and like my grandfather, often in the sea of ​​fire.

Yan Shaoting looked at the little emperor's expression and shook his head with a helpless yet doting smile.

Then he stood in front of the steps and turned to look at the officials in the square again.

"I still say the same thing."

"The new policies and laws must be implemented. Now they are implemented in Nanzhi and Zhejiang, and one day they will be implemented in the two capitals and thirteen provinces of our Ming Dynasty!"

"Today, this official has also warned that if you or those of you who are outside, the local gentry and wealthy families, still have dissatisfaction, you can use some tricks to deal with it."

"I am not afraid of you!"

"It's nothing more than me taking the emperor back to Purple Mountain!"

Ok.

According to the royal diary, after Emperor Taizu entered Nanjing, he led everyone to climb the Purple Mountain outside the city.

Yan Shaoting narrowed his eyes, and his face, which had been growing a beard for several years, had a calm yet resolute expression.

"I don't care about my reputation before and after my death."

"I only wish for the eternal prosperity of the Ming Dynasty."

"As for how you discuss me, how people in the world comment on me, and how history records me."

"Right and wrong..."

"I, Yan Shaoting, will shoulder it all!"
