Chapter 187: Han Yong's Stage

After March, in the Mandarin Palace.

Zhu Qizhen sat on the dragon chair, as if he were a statue. Not a word.

The six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Nine Secretaries, the Privy Council, the three military nobles, etc., most of the high-ranking officials of the Ming Dynasty in Beijing came. Among them, Li Bing is currently among the cabinet scholars.

After Liu Dingzhi left, Han Yong filled in and became the first assistant of the cabinet, so that there was a lack of one person in the cabinet.

Zhu Qizhen thought about it, and adhered to the smallest way to break the power structure of the imperial court, which was to let Li Bing fill the position and become a cabinet scholar.

Although he was in the last seat of the cabinet.

The reason why he was chosen instead of others was because Li Bing had previously shown his strength in Jingcha and made himself a loner, and there was even opposition within the ministry, and the climate was not small.

Li Bing's transfer to the cabinet will not expand his power just because he is promoted to the cabinet, at most he will be stable. And it also reflects that Zhu Qizhen is committed to the people who do things for him.

This was the method that would have the least impact on the existing power structure of the imperial court.

Speaking of which, it was Li Bing's luck.

Because Zhu Qizhen never thought of giving Li Bing a position as a cabinet scholar. There is no way to do it.

In addition to these people, there are also some minor officials who went out at the beginning, such as Li Dongyang, Shang Liangchen, Luo Lun and others.

The reason, after three months, is to wait for these magistrates to come to Beijing.

In fact, three months is enough for some people, but it is very reluctant for others. Several of them are still in the dust.

Of course, it is impossible for these petty officials to have a place here, they are all waiting outside, waiting for a summons to enter.

This is to put an end to what was undecided a few years ago.

Han Yong first came out of the ranks, saluted Zhu Qizhen and said, "Your Majesty, the auspicious time has arrived, and the personnel are all ready, do you want to start?" ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "It's convenient to follow the Qing." ”

After Han Yong saluted again, he turned his head to face all the ministers present and said, "Today, by the holy order, it is necessary to discuss the law of officials, a whip law, a single law that is easy to know, and whether many laws can be implemented. ”

As soon as Han Yong signaled, there was immediately a Zhongshu person on the side. He handed stacks of documents to all the ministers present, and each of them had a copy.

Everyone opened it and took a look, but it was a report from these people and officials who were experimenting outside to the imperial court.

Li Bing roughly opened it and took a look, but saw that everyone's opinions were all agreeable, but the way of writing was different, some people put forward some new ideas, and some put forward some faults. However, the theme opinions can be implemented, which is for the benefit of the people.

Li Bing secretly said in his heart: "What is there to say about this, and now who dares to say the new law, isn't it?" ”

Li Bing's heart is the most revolted

Mixed.

Deep down, he didn't believe too much in the new law, but it was already like this, and it was too late to say anything. He can only become the vanguard of the emperor's reform.

Not only that, but after a large-scale purge, the emperor's signal to the people of the world was unmistakable.

The new law cannot be shaken.

As long as you are a smart person, you will not become the one who will emerge at this time.

And above the officialdom, there is no shortage of smart people.

He felt that this time it was just a cutscene, and of course, this cutscene was still very important. Because after this passing scene, the change is not the emperor's opinion, but now the unanimous opinion of the Ming center.

Anyone who opposes the new law at the local level is confronting the central government.

Perhaps many ministers are not interested in the new law, but for civil officials, the superiority and inferiority of the upper and lower levels, and the great unification are the ideas engraved in the bones.

As for the local government that has signs of confronting the central government, any central member will not be stingy with his stingy hands.

Han Yong left a little time for the ministers, and looked at the letter incense used to keep track of the time, and it was almost burned. He said, "You have already seen it, so let these people explain it to you one by one." ”

immediately recruited Li Dongyang in.

Li Dongyang has been in Ninghua for several years, but at this moment, he has become a lot darker.

After he came in, after he saluted. Then they talked. told him what he did in Ninghua County.

It took him more than a year to sweep away all the bandits in Ninghua County, and then explored the local terrain, and opened up hundreds of hectares of land for the people of Ninghua in the mountains, but he later found that Ninghua is very difficult to grow food, but there is one thing that is very suitable for Ninghua planting, that is, tea.

Moreover, Daming's overseas tea sales do not occupy much of a large share in bulk goods, but they also have a certain scale.

Li Dongyang managed to collect a batch of tea in Ninghua and sold it in Fuzhou, although the profit was not much, but he saw the hope of Ninghua County.

It's just that a lot of things take time.

The rest of Li Dongyang has not yet been transferred.

"Li Dongyang." Li Bingfa asked, he had just been promoted from the official book, but in the tone of the question, the smell of the high-ranking official could not be eliminated.

Li Dongyang immediately saluted and said, "The lower official is here." ”

Li Bing said: "Why don't you implement a whip law? You didn't implement a single whip from beginning to end? ”

Li Dongyang said: "Back to the department, Ninghua County is not suitable. ”

Li Bing said: "Why is it not appropriate? ”

Li Dongyang said: "Ninghua County is too poor, and the food in the hands of the people is still deducted from between the teeth, and there is no silver at all. If you ask the people for money, you will force them to sell their sons and daughters. ”

"As an official of the imperial court, Xia Guan is for the herdsmen of the Son of Heaven, not for the harm of the people of the Son of Heaven."

"Therefore, the minister can only postpone the implementation."

Li Bing said: "Do you mean that a whipping law is a law that harms the people? ”

Li Dongyang heard this question, his forehead sweated slightly, and now it is late autumn, and everyone in Beijing wears thick clothes to save themselves from the cold wind, but now Li Dongyang's sweat does not know whether it is cold or hot.

Li Dongyang said: "There is absolutely no such intention, it is just a whip law, which is not suitable for implementation in Ninghua County, and the lower officials have not forgotten their mission for a day, but the lower officials just feel that they want to implement a whip law, and only by letting the people have money in their hands." ”

"If you want the people to have silver in their hands, you must have something to sell, this is what the lower officials have been doing, as long as the lower officials are given time, a whip law can definitely be implemented in Ninghua County."

Li Bing wanted to ask again.

Xu Youzhen coughed and said, "Okay, you go down." ”

Xu Youzhen actually doesn't care about how Li Dongyang is. But he didn't want anyone to say anything unfavorable to the new law at this time.

Although many people think it's going through the motions.

Many big meetings, before the meeting, are decided. But you still have to take it seriously and go through the motions.

Of course, Xu Youzhen maintains the new law, but he doesn't care too much about whether the new law can be used. What he cares about is his own authority.

Li Dongyang walked out of the Wenhua Hall without possessing his soul.

At this moment, Li Dongyang is not a later minister, but a young man in his twenties. In the face of this kind of big battle in which the ministers sat in a row and the emperor was observing, he was still nervous.

He is not stupid, how could he not know that Li Bing's questioning was induced. It's just that the more this time, the more he has a sense of mission.

That is, you can't tell lies, and you can't mislead the court for your own reasons.

It's not that he doesn't know the political risks, it's just that the young people are not cold-blooded.

It's just that he doesn't know that everyone here, maybe only his own, is serious. He mustered up the courage to risk the future of his life, and what he said was just a line in a big drama.

Such an ironic thing is not something that Li Dongyang can know now.

He just sat in the corridor outside the Wenhua Palace, gently caressing his chest, his heart that wanted to jump out, and the cold wind that was already sweating.

I can't calm down for a long time.

Want to wait for a result. It doesn't matter if it's a good result or a bad outcome. There is always a result, and it is better to wait here than to wait for the notification after going back.

Wait for a good time.

No matter what Li Dongyang thinks in his heart, the conference is still going on. Then Loren entered. It was his turn to face the inquiries of many ministers.
