The protagonist has left, and no one plays the play if he wants to. Even if the civil official group is unwilling, but the little emperor's determination is so firm, how can he succeed in his direct advice? And the little emperor's excuse is also very sufficient, that is, if someone dares to risk death to admonish directly, it will also be regarded as ill-intentioned.

This battle was lost by the civil official group, not only failed to make the little emperor change his mind, but even the last hope was blocked by the little emperor with golden words. In the past, it was only the implementation of the ten-grade official system, but now the little emperor has made it clear that the only way to become an official in the future is through the imperial examination. If you want to rely on unfair competition such as door shade and Nari, it is difficult to predict the consequences if it is exposed.

The civil officials are active, where do they not know that the little emperor is afraid of the power of the civil officials? Since the Han and Wei dynasties, the family gate lords have occupied most of the official positions in the court, whether they are civil or military officials, once the family is united, the power generated is that the emperor will also retreat.

After the establishment of the Great Shun Dynasty, in view of this situation, it was decided to abolish the nine-grade Zhongzheng system and adopt the imperial examination. After the war, the big family gate valve was weakened, and the small family was obviously declining. Now, more than 100 years later, the influence of the Maison Gate Valve has been reduced to a minimum. But some smart family gate valves through transformation, using the family to learn enough people to take the imperial examination, and then through the door shade, Nali and other ways, can also maintain the glory of the family for decades.

At the time of Taizu and Wenzong, the world had just stabilized, so naturally it was impossible to make drastic reforms, focusing on restoring production. Otherwise, with the knowledge of Taizu and Wenzong, how could they not know how to increase taxes? And two generations later, the emperor of Dashun was born in brocade clothes and jade food, even if he is smart, where will he understand why he is diligent in political affairs, but the treasury is still stretched?

By the time of the Yuan Shou, the treasury was really tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall. Whenever there is a year of famine, and the treasury is empty, these civil officials with active minds will make a move to Emperor Yuan Shou, and change it to a nice name, and the official sells the official mantle. Emperor Yuan Shou was having a headache about how to fill the treasury, at that time, Fan Zhongyan had not yet started reforms, and he had just ascended the throne, and he was inexperienced and didn't know what to do. How could Emperor Yuan Shou not know the harm of openly selling his official beard? But the fire burned his eyebrows, so he had to pinch his nose and admit it.

Later, Fan Zhongyan became the assistant and implemented the new policy, which made the treasury fuller. But after being slandered as a party for personal gain, and being attacked and resigned, Yang Taishi came to power and returned to his original state. At this point, Menyin and Nali have reached their peak as officials. The civil official group slowly twisted into a rope, with Yang Taishi as the leader, not only forcing the military attache who was the enemy of heaven and death to the edge of the cliff, but also controlling the government. Even if Emperor Yuan Shou regretted it, his old body couldn't stop Yang Taishi's ambitions. In order for Lu Chengqi to succeed to the throne smoothly, Emperor Yuan Shou chose to swallow his anger and silently connived at Yang Taishi.

It's just that for some reason, when Taishi Yang has the right time, place and people, he actually compromised with the little emperor who has only been on the throne for more than a year and is fledgling. Maybe Yang Taishi also wanted to learn from Sima Yi to usurp Wei, but Sima Yi held the military power, and most of the Wenchen also fell to the Sima family. If you want to learn Sima Yi, you still lack some heat.

In addition, the little emperor suddenly made a difficulty, and Yang Taishi just wanted to lay out the army and had no time. In addition, the little emperor does not leave a trace of a way back, except for the way home of the beggar bones, he can only be entangled in the death of civil officials. But Dashun's civil and military system is too reasonable, as long as the military power is in the hands of the emperor and the Privy Council, even Zaifu has no right to intervene. The little emperor only needs to mobilize the forbidden army, and Yang Taishi's subordinates are all civilian officials who are powerless, how can they fight it?

If it is a tough resistance, once it is put on the hat of a thief, there will be no place to die, not to mention, "leaving a name in history" is a sure thing. It is better to go downhill with the trend, not only to save itself, but also to follow the meaning of the little emperor, killing two birds with one stone. As for the nominal students, the life and death of civil officials and the party, what does it matter to him Yang Taishi? Dead friends are not dead and poor, as long as they can rely on the name of the emperor's teacher and retreat, they will burn incense and worship the Buddha. If Taishi Yang knew that Lu Chengqi did not have confidence in mastering the army at that time, and did it completely with a passionate impulse, would he have remorseed and hit his head against the wall?

To this day, only the civil officials who survived the catastrophe recalled why the once powerful Yang Taishi was defeated so badly. Because the system set by Taizu is too good, there is no danger that the military power will fall into the hands of civilian officials. If the emperor wants to take power, as long as the situation has not eroded to the point of being out of control, he can rely on the army to get it back. Any iron bone, in front of the butcher's knife raised high, looks unusually pale.

Thinking about it this way, today's defeat is not too bad. After all, with the power of Master Yang, he can only protect himself. They can make the little emperor not have murderous intentions, and it is only thanks to the direct advice of the national abbot Zhou Yanhua.

The civil officials who figured this out came over one after another to pay tribute to Zhou Yanhua. However, Zhou Yanhua, the secretary of the Criminal Department, is a person who is not good at flattery and hates the flattery of others, no matter who the official who came to talk to him, he put on a cold face.

Only when Li Ran came over in the imperial history, Zhou Yanhua said a few more words.

Zhou Shangshu's words today are loud and clear, but the intention of the saint to implement the new policy is too strong. If time passes, after seeing the evils of the new policy, the saint will change his mind. ”

Faced with Li Ran's words, Zhou Yanhua suddenly sighed and said in a low voice: "This statement is actually not what I came up with. It was Sima Junshi's recital, and I was an old friend with Junshi, so I had to know it from him. ”

Li Ran suddenly realized that Zhou Yanhua has always been simple and simple, where would he quote scriptures like this, it turned out that there was a master behind him! "It turned out to be Sima Guang Sima Transit Envoy, no wonder! I heard earlier that Sima Jun is really a pillar of the country, and when I heard it today, it really deserves its name! ”

Zhou Yanhua sighed and said, "What's the use? The emperor insisted on going his own way, and kept admonishing, and he didn't know what trouble would happen......"

Even if Li Ran dared to speak out, he didn't have the courage of Zhou Yanhua to say that the little emperor was in trouble, so he hurriedly pulled Zhou Yanhua's sleeve and said: "Zhou Shangshu, there are many people here, be cautious!" ”

Zhou Yanhua also knew that he had missed his mouth, sighed quietly, and followed the officials who retreated from the dynasty out of Xuande Gate.

At the same time, Liu Qi also walked out of the Daqing Hall in a daze as if he had lost his soul, falling behind the hundred officials. As soon as he stepped out of the Daqing Palace, he gave people a drink: "Evil animal, stop!" ”

Liu Qi was drunk like this, and slowly looked up to see that it was Liu Geng, a member of the Zhongshu House. "Uncle, why are you here, aren't you ......" Before Liu Qi finished speaking, Liu Geng covered his mouth, took advantage of others not paying attention, pulled him to a remote place, and said in a deep voice: "You little brute, don't you want to kill your uncle?"
