"This matter is settled! Wang Yangming will preside over the reform affairs, and I will send Jin Yiwei to assist."

Zhu Houzhao ignored the opinions of the ministers and directly made the final decision.

If you agree to change, you must change if you don't agree. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be thrown directly into Liaodong to cultivate land and open up wasteland. He is tired of these ministers who have mediocre abilities and are ignorant of current affairs. By getting rid of them, they can just replace them.

The top ones are those who are young and obedient.

"Your Majesty, Wang Shouren's method is really harmful to the country and the people. It is no less cruel and cruel than Shang Yang in ancient times. Your Majesty will never agree to it!"

"Your Majesty, Wang Shouren's evil will bring disaster to the whole world. Your Majesty must not be deceived by him!"

"If Your Majesty does not take back your order, I will pretend to be dead in Fengtian Palace."

At this time, all the ministers hated Wang Yangming to death. They were both civil servants and scholars. Why bother to make things difficult for each other and force them to die? If they couldn't make a lot of money, what was the point of being an official?

In order to prevent Zhu Houzhao and Wang Yangming from the crazy and extremely unreasonable three reforms, the ministers tried their best, and some even threatened death.

"snort......"

With a cold snort, Zhu Houzhao's eyes showed murderous intent. A group of mediocre ministers thought they could threaten him with death. They were so naive. He was not his father, Emperor Hongzhi, and his tolerance for them was very limited.

"Do you think that forcing me to death can stop me from reforming? I still say the same thing. If you agree, you must change, and if you don't agree, you must change."

"You can die if you want. I will never stop you. Don't think that the court can't function without you. The Ming Dynasty is full of talented people. If you want to be an official, there are many who can be an official. There are just a few of you."

"There are Hanlin bachelors who have no positions in the Hanlin Academy and can take your place at any time."

These merciless words shattered all the dissatisfaction of the ministers. Their heads were already pressed against the pillars. The ministers who were about to threaten him with death did not want to die anymore and silently took back their heads.

Zhu Houzhao's words are hard to hear, but they are an indisputable fact. The imperial court is never short of people.

There are many people in the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial College who are capable of succeeding them, and those people are young and energetic, and are far more obedient and useful than them.

"Why, I don't want to die, so can I take you down for the crime of deceiving the emperor and neglecting his superiors?"

Zhu Houzhao's anger remained unabated and he didn't send people to Liaodong to farm for a long time. Did he make them think that he, Zhu Houzhao, couldn't carry the knife anymore?

"I have no excuse. Your Majesty, please forgive me."

The officials were shocked.

"Liu Jin, check!"

In one sentence, it directly announced the fate of those ministers who wanted to live or die. If they are not obedient, then go to Liaodong and learn to be obedient.

boom

A minister was so frightened that he paralyzed to the ground. Liaodong, that is the hell of civil servants. Except for Liu Jian and Xie Qian, who were sent to farm in Liaodong, almost no civil servants came back alive. They all became homeless in Liaodong.

A dry skeleton that no one cares about.

"Slave, please obey."

Liu Jin glanced at those ministers who were desperate for life and death, and a trace of sarcasm flashed in his eyes. He dared to speak against the emperor without looking at himself as a scumbag. There were people who were tougher than you in the past. In the end, the emperor still didn't let him.

I took care of it!

"The reform will not be allowed to change. If anyone dares to secretly obstruct the reform, I will move his entire family to Liaodong and contribute to the development of Liaodong."

Finally, he warned the ministers that if they still do not understand current affairs, then they cannot blame Zhu Houzhao for being ruthless!

The land of Liaodong is always short of people!

Although he has moved many people to Liaodong over the years, the development situation in Liaodong is still not ideal and more people are needed to fill the gap. Those officials who opposed the reform and the power groups behind them are the new batch of people prepared by Zhu Houzhao Liaodong developers.

The remnants of Fusang, the members of Prince Ning, as well as the officials, nobles, scholars, businessmen, and powerful men who had been assigned before and were still alive were all waiting for their company.

"Qian Gang is arbitrary and not inferior to Hong Wu."

Regarding Zhu Houzhao, Liu Jian only had this horoscope comment, but it was not a positive comment.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the great emperor of Hongwu, expelled the Tartars and restored China. His achievements can be regarded as an emperor through the ages. However, in the eyes of literati, Zhu Yuanzhang was an outright tyrant. Emperor Yongle who killed the ten Fang Xiaoru tribes was stronger than Zhu Yuanzhang. The Kongyin case and the Guo Huan case In the Hu Weiyong case, no fewer officials were executed than in the Lan Yu case, and its cruelty and brutality made countless literati tremble.

Nowadays, Zhu Houzhao is even more ruthless in his methods of harming scholars. He rarely kills people, but he can kill people. He broke the backbones of many scholars by dispatching Liaodong with one move. There are definitely not just a few people who oppose the three reforms, but more people are afraid of them. Zhu Houzhao used his methods and did not dare to stand up and openly oppose.

Opposing the reform may not necessarily lead to death, but going to Liaodong will definitely lead to death, and you will also lose your dignity as a scholar. How to choose, many people have a steelyard in their hearts to weigh.

With his own efforts, the scholars were so suppressed that they didn't even dare to say anything. Zhu Houzhao was not only inferior to Hongwu, he had surpassed Hongwu, trampling the civil servant group and the faces of scholars all over the world into the ground.

Zhu Houzhao didn't know that Liu Jian compared him to the Hongwu Emperor. Even if he knew, he wouldn't care, let alone what the civil service group thought. What the civil service group needed was a generous and benevolent king like his father, Hongzhi Emperor Zhu Youxian, and Hongxi Emperor Zhu Gaochi. , and he was destined not to become Emperor Hongzhi, let alone be lenient and kind to a group of blood-sucking worms lying on the empire.

In the whole world, is it the king's land. On the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers. What he wants is absolute control and submission, rather than sharing the world with the scholar-bureaucrats. The scholar-bureaucrats can only be pawns in his hands, rather than sharing the world with him. "allies".

In essence, he was as different as Emperor Hongzhi and Emperor Hongxi.

"Retreat from the court."

With a wave of his sleeves, he announced his resignation from the court. The tone of the three reforms had been set. The next step was to see Wang Yangming's operation. He had absolute trust in this "my Crouching Dragon".

...

"Brother Liu, Brother Xie, let's go and say goodbye. I don't know when we will see you again!"

After the fall of the court, the three giants of the cabinet gathered together. Li Dongyang said with emotion that of the three giants of the cabinet left by Emperor Hongzhi, he is now the only one who is still active in the court!

"Ha, if Brother Li is reluctant to leave, you can ask your Majesty to resign and come back with me. You and I can be neighbors, write lyrics and paintings every day, enjoy leisurely landscapes, play with the grandchildren, and enjoy our old age in peace."

Xie Qian smiled.

"Brother Li, I leave the affairs of the court to you. Don't cut off my seed as a scholar."

Liu Jian solemnly requested Li Dongyang that now in the court, the only person in the civil service group who can speak is Li Dongyang!

Li Dongyang could only respond with a wry smile, "How to protect the seeds of scholars, how to protect it, there is no one in today's civil service group who can carry the burden, such as Wang Hao, Fei Hong, Liu Yu, Yang Yiqing, Yang Tinghe, Yan Song and so on." , either they are at a distance from the civil service group, or they are simply Zhu Houzhao's loyal lackeys. Can such a civil service group be preserved?
