Chapter 654: No Compromise

There was silence in the council hall. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Xiao Ming said angrily, the officials looked at each other, and the reformists led by Pang Yukun were naturally ashamed.

Just when Xiao Ming thought that his words could wake up these officials, he saw more than a dozen officials kneeling down from behind Fiji.

"Your Majesty, such government decrees and ministers are unheard of, and if they are implemented, they will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the scholars of the world, and I hope that the emperor will retract his order." Yu Ming said urgently.

"Please ask the emperor to take back his fate!" The other ministers chimed in.

Xiao Ming immediately laughed when he saw this, he didn't expect that he had often seen the drama in TV series before, and this time it would appear in front of him.

Are these ministers ready to threaten themselves with a long kneel?

"What if I insist on it?" Xiao Ming said coldly.

Yu Ming said; "If the emperor doesn't take back his order, the ministers will keep kneeling."

Xiao Ming glanced at Fiji at this time, this Yu Ming and Chao Jun were both people he had recommended to him, because these two were known as virtuous among Chang'an officials.

At that time, these two officials were indeed useful to him, after all, they belonged to rare and honest officials, but now the problem is that often the former virtuous officials of the Great Yu Kingdom have become more and more fierce in their opposition to his decrees.

Xiao Ming understood after a little thought about this question, in his opinion, these people are like contemporary three-good students, they respect teachers too much, so that they are pedantic.

So in their opinion, some of Xiao Ming's decrees are deviant, if Xiao Ming is not the emperor, it is estimated that their saliva can spray Xiao Ming to death.

It was the first time in a long time that Xiao Ming and the officials had such a fierce confrontation, and at this time Xiao Ming understood that this was actually a struggle between the monarchy and the bureaucracy.

If he loses this time, these officials will intensify their restrictions on their rights in the future, and they will inevitably try their best to obstruct things that they do not like.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming became more and more determined to do so, and he said to Yu Ming; "Since you like to kneel, then keep kneeling."

With that, he walked straight out of the council hall and ignored these officials.

When Qian Dafu saw Xiao Ming leaving, he immediately shouted: "Retreat!" When he passed by Yu Ming's side, he snorted in a weird way.

The officials watched Xiao Ming's figure disappear, and at this time Pang Yukun said to Yu Ming: "Yu Shangshu, don't kneel, I think the emperor is iron-hearted this time, and it's useless for you to kneel to death." ”

Fiji sighed, and he said to Pang Yukun; "Pang Shoufu, did the emperor also have this temper before?"

Pang Yukun recalled and said: "The emperor's temper is much better now, if it was his decree before, no one would dare to disobey it." ”

Fiji nodded, since Xiao Ming listened to his advice about the wealthy family and marrying Cui Xue'er, he suddenly felt that he had returned to the days when he was with Xiao Wenxuan.

At that time, Xiao Wenxuan basically listened to his suggestions, and this familiar feeling made him think that Xiao Ming and Xiao Wenxuan still had something in common.

However, what happened in the court this morning made him finally see another side of Xiao Ming, different from Xiao Ming, who is kind on weekdays, he just saw the power of an emperor from Xiao Ming.

"Yu Shangshu, don't kneel, get up, the emperor is gone." Fiji also persuaded that although he also opposed Xiao Ming's decree, his instinct for the mud did not force him into a corner.

Yu Ming has always been known for not giving face to anyone in Chang'an, whether it is a traitor or a virtuous minister, he is not afraid, and only does things according to his original intentions.

"If the emperor doesn't take back his order, the lower officials have been kneeling in this council hall." Yu Ming looked like he was ready to fight to the end.

Fiji and Pang Yukun looked at each other a little helplessly, and he said: "Why bother, we and the emperor are slowly consuming, maybe the emperor is just a momentary interest, and it will be time to make up his mind in a few days." ”

Yu Ming shook his head, but still ignored it, he said: "The emperor's decree is only afraid that it will disturb the people's hearts, if there is no Shinong industry and commerce, who is still studying and becoming an official, who is still working hard, it is better to be the pawn of the peddler." ”

Pang Yukun said: "Yu Shangshu's words have some truth, but the emperor scolded the lower officials and suddenly felt that the emperor also had his own reasons, before that, the decrees of the feudal country were formulated by the emperor, and now there is a strong feudal country, if it is not so, I am afraid that there is no Qingzhou, and there is no such palace." ”

"Pang Shoufu's words are wrong, in the past, the emperor was only the king of Qi, and this concern is naturally only Qi land, but now the emperor is the lord of the Great Chongqing Kingdom, and he must take care of the people in other places, what you can do in Qingzhou may not work in other places." Fiji said.

Pang Yukun said; "Could it have worked before? It's just man-made. ”

With that, he shook his head and turned to leave the council hall.

The reason for his opposition this time is that the introduction of these two policies will reduce the status of civil officials in the court, not to mention his opposition, I am afraid that all civil officials are a little uncomfortable.

It's just that throwing this aside, these two policies are extremely beneficial to the Great Yu Kingdom, and he is also fascinated by the court for a while.

Thinking of this, he became more and more ashamed, because he did not know when he began to think about his own interests, which he did not have before.

Gritting his teeth, he sighed, feeling that he had changed to go back and reflect.

When the officials were still making a fuss in the council hall, Xiao Ming had already returned to Xingyuan under the protection of the guards.

"Dafu, you keep an eye on the council hall for me, and tell me if you have anything." Xiao Ming ordered.

Qian Dafu nodded, "This Yu Ming is a dead eye, I can't say that he will really kneel down forever." ”

Xiao Ming has a big head, he needs some upright officials, but upright officials are sometimes a double-edged sword.

"If he likes to kneel, let him kneel for a few days, and I will never compromise on this matter." Xiao Ming snorted coldly.

Qian Dafu nodded, "What the emperor said is very true, these officials are simply against the sky, if the emperor listens to them this time, I don't know how many things will happen in the future, the old slave will send someone to keep an eye on it now." ”

After speaking, Qian Dafu turned around and left.

Seeing Qian Dafu leave, Xiao Ming frowned, he was not afraid of these civil officials, because the truth of later generations told him that the gun came out of power, so his focus has always been the army.

Thinking of this, he didn't know if Niu Ben had captured Gyeongju, and whether he had already gone to the labor army according to what he said.

While he was thinking about these things, Niu Ben and the generals were discussing an imminent battle.

Lu Fei, who was about to go to find the Qinglou woman Lao Jun, suddenly received a secret message, which told them that the soldiers and horses of King Zhao were advancing towards Gyeongju City.

After watching silently for so long, King Zhao finally stepped forward.
