The court of the Zhengde Dynasty was not full of those who were greedy and mean.
After all, Zhu Houzhao's father, Emperor Hongzhi, was famous for his good temper and favored civil officials.
Officials have been supported by the people of the world for so many years, how could there not be a few loyal and courageous people?
After being urged by officials of Liu Jin's faction, these officials could not help but stand up.
"Your Majesty, it is too hasty to implement the treasure notes now, and it needs to be slow, but the One Whip Law is imperative. The people of the Ming Dynasty have suffered from complicated taxes for a long time."
"When I was a county magistrate in Nanyang, I was troubled many times by the yamen runners below when the people paid grain, but I couldn't think of any good solution after thinking hard. Now I heard about the One Whip Law, and it suddenly became clear. Your Majesty, if anyone dares to oppose this reform, I will risk my life and die with him. . "
"Your Majesty is a genius. As long as you take your time, you will be able to be on par with Taizu and Taizong in the future. Please keep moving forward, be humble and accept advice, be close to virtuous ministers and stay away from villains. Here... I ask to dismiss Li Dongyang, the chief minister of the cabinet. This person is indecisive and hesitant. He is not worthy of the position of the chief minister of the cabinet. If he continues to be the chief minister, it will definitely mislead the country and the people."
"I second the motion."
Li Dongyang:...
It seems that I really want to be the chief minister of the cabinet.
But resigning and being dismissed are two completely different things!
Looking back at the excited ministers, Li Dongyang knew that this was not the time to hesitate.
Both the new treasure notes and the one-whip method are very practical reforms.
If you oppose or do not express your position, even if you can win a good reputation among the scholars for a short time, the evaluation in the history books will definitely not be very good.
The most important thing is that our Majesty is not a master who is easy to please.
He has already proposed it. If you don't agree, he will only find ways to do it, which will be unpredictable.
"Your Majesty, after thinking hard for a long time, I think the Single Whip Law is indeed feasible, but the reform of the treasure notes seems to need to be considered and a more detailed method should be taken." Li Dongyang, who was determined, gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, and said loudly.
His support made those who agreed happy.
The opposition was disappointed and hated him.
But they didn't care about attacking Li Dongyang at this time.
"Your Majesty, Li Dongyang is wrong. The taxation system of the Ming Dynasty was established by Taizu. Taizu rose from humble beginnings and knew the sufferings of the people. The taxation system he established must be the most suitable for the people."
"Yes, the One Whip Law is not good. It will cause chaos in the world."
"If we use treasure notes to replace gold, silver and copper coins and let the people pay taxes, once the treasure notes depreciate again, the people will inevitably lose their homes and property. This is a sign of the country's demise!"
"Although this treasure note is exquisite, it is not difficult to counterfeit. If someone forges it and mixes it with fakes, the economic system of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably collapse. If the court uses the One Whip Law, who can guarantee the collection? The proof is all real money? Your Majesty, these two things are absolutely not allowed! "
Zhu Houzhao was waiting for their special veto: "I'll tell you the truth, these treasure notes come from the Hongwu Dynasty, and are supervised by Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao himself.
The papermaking technique comes from hundreds of years after the Zhengde Dynasty, and it is impossible to imitate.
The issuance of treasure notes is unstoppable, and no one can destroy it, otherwise I will take your head. If you don't believe it, you can try it.
As for the Single Whip Law, Taizu is already ready to implement it, so don't mention whether it is an ancestral system or not. "
The ministers were stunned.
The officials who supported the reform were even more like a bereaved family.
Is your Majesty crazy?
What can we do?
The officials who opposed it were just the opposite.
They all laughed happily.
It's good that your Majesty is crazy, we can use this as an excuse to do our own things without his consent.
Is there anyone more suitable for ruling than a madman?
Zhu Houzhao laughed: "I know you don't believe me, I will prove it to you now.
Aren't you curious about who these three are? I will tell you now.
They are Li Chengqian, the crown prince of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, the second and third sons of Emperor Taizong, Zhu Gaoxu, the Prince of Han, and Zhu Gaosui, the Prince of Zhao."
The officials reacted even more.
Well, the Prince of Han and the Prince of Zhao have both been brought out.
And the other one is Li Shimin's crown prince.
Your Majesty is really crazy!
The officials of Liu Jin's faction and the upright officials were completely panicked. One advised the emperor to rest, and the other called for the imperial physician to come quickly.
And those with ulterior motives no longer took him, the emperor, seriously at all, and flocked to Li Dongyang.
"Sir Prime Minister, His Majesty has gone mad. Please make a decision quickly. Baochao, opening the sea, and the One Whip Law cannot be implemented, otherwise the government and the people will be in turmoil."
"The cabinet cannot be abolished either. His Majesty is no longer suitable for governing the government. Many political affairs must be handled by the cabinet.""I suggest recalling Liu Jian and Xie Qian, and let the three of you lead the ministers to help Your Majesty govern the world."
Li Dongyang looked at Zhu Houzhao in doubt.
But he was as still as a mountain, with a calm expression, and a little expectation and teasing in his eyes.
Is Your Majesty not crazy?
But this is too unreal.
How could the King of Han, the King of Zhao, and Li Chengqian come to the Zhengde Dynasty?
Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui looked at each other, strode out of the Fengtian Hall, and quietly opened the door of the side hall.
'Da Da Da. '
Hundreds of soldiers with swords and armor ran out of the side hall, firmly protecting Zhu Houzhao inside.
"What are you doing? This is the Fengtian Hall, where the emperor and ministers discuss state affairs. How can you brandish swords and guns? Do you want to rebel?" Yang Tinghe's temper broke out again, and he scolded with spit flying.
Zhu Gaosui was sprayed with foam in his face, and kicked Yang Tinghe to the ground in anger: "Arrogant, no one in the world dares to yell at me except my father, Emperor Yongle.
If you dare to say one more word, no matter what cabinet minister you are, I will stab you with a knife!"
Yang Tinghe got up and tried to resist, but Zhu Gaoxu brought more soldiers to the Fengtian Hall and surrounded the civil and military ministers in the hall.
Zhu Houzhao clapped his hands.
When all the ministers looked at him, he said: "Am I crazy? Then you can point out someone you know from this group of people."
The ministers looked at the Minister of War.
The Minister of War had a dark face: "Why are you looking at me? I am in charge of the Ministry of War, but it is impossible for me to know all the soldiers in the country, right?"
"Of course you can't, because they are all soldiers of my ancestor Emperor Hongxi, a total of 50,000 people. If you don't believe it, you can go out and see." Zhu Houzhao smiled.
The officials not far from the gate of Fengtian Hall subconsciously looked outside the gate.
"Hiss, so many soldiers?"
"When were there so many soldiers hidden in the palace?"
"This is impossible. Even if it is the emperor, it is impossible to bypass the cabinet and the Ministry of War to transfer so many people."
"Is what the emperor said true? These soldiers come from the Hongxi Dynasty?"
