Empress snatches dried fish + episode

Tang Shuo was taken aback when he heard the words, lowered his head and smiled and shook his head.

He is indeed the one in Shu Yonghe's knowledge who doesn't think women are stronger than men, but for Geng Bai'an, it's not the first time he thinks she is not simple.When Tang Xiaohan came back from the letter, he realized that the empress who could make the atmosphere of the entire harem completely different and make Tang Xiaohan nowhere to use his strength was already different from the empresses of all generations in Chongguo.

Coupled with the occasional astonishing speeches in the court, Tang Shuo has already paid great attention.Because Geng Bai'an is Geng Yi's daughter, and he and Geng Yi have been enemies for decades, so he is somewhat afraid of Geng Bai'an.Although his position in the court is not so easy to shake, but with Geng Bai'an's status, if he really wants to deal with him, it will be enough for him to be in a state of distress for a while.

He really didn't expect that the current emperor and empress are not people who stick to the old rules.When they said such words, they were not only logical, but also took it for granted, as if they didn't think there was anything wrong.

Recalling that when I was discussing reforms with the first emperor in the study, I was so excited that I even slapped the desk, causing the eunuchs waiting in the sect to think there were assassins, and rushed in with a large group of guards.

He has lived most of his life, but this time it seems that he really... misjudged him.

"At that time, the old minister was only 34. He was just appointed as the prime minister, and he was still in high spirits. Reforming the scientific examination... the first emperor was also ambitious. He was only in his early twenties, but he could have such an idea. So the first emperor was just a general. After finding out about it, I immediately gathered many like-minded colleagues and stood firmly on the side of the late emperor." Tang Shuo slowly narrated the events of that year, and the slow speed of his speech was probably because Still recalling the scene at that time.

"The old minister climbed to the position of prime minister because of his merits. This mouth has offended many people. Although his status is high, there is no one in the court who can help him except for a few friends. The former emperor has just ascended the throne, and the court supports others. The prince’s faction has not been abolished yet, and it is also in dire straits. But we chose such a time to carry out the reform.” Tang Shuo said, with a choked sob: “The result is that the students of Da Chongguo were deliberately incited, Not only marches and demonstrations, but even tens of thousands of blood letters requesting the cancellation of the reform of the scientific examination."

"But we were unmoved, and insisted on implementing the new policy. As a result, those people deliberately sabotaged the academy that implemented the New Deal, causing various things to happen, and even a few more lives. So it's not just the students. , even the people began to oppose the reform. At that time, the first emperor backed down, and the courtiers who followed us to carry out the reform were either beaten to death by angry students, or beheaded by the first emperor as victims of the chaos. Even My teenage son is also hated, and his head is different."

"There are so many reformers, only the late emperor and his ministers are left." As he spoke, Tang Shuo smiled mockingly: "Speaking of outrageous words, the late emperor could bear to take advantage of so many years in the imperial court. Up and down his face, many of which are his guilt towards his ministers."

After listening to the whole incident, Shu Yonghe and Geng Bai'an looked at each other in blank dismay, each showing shock on each other's faces.They all roughly knew that such an incident had happened, but they didn't know that it was so earth-shattering. No wonder the late emperor ordered that this incident should not be mentioned again.The original book Yonghe was mentioned by the emperor brothers who were still young at the time, while the original owner Geng Bai'an was mentioned by Geng Yi.

At that time, Geng Yi was not in his current position. The number one general in Chongguo was Geng Yi's father, that is, Geng Bai'an's grandfather.At that time, both father and son participated in the suppression of chaos and the suppression of students, so when recalling the past, they would always mention a few words.

Shu Yonghe and Geng Bai'an were suddenly filled with worries—reform is indeed not an easy task.Not only must the direction of reform be correct, but also the timing must be right. The most important thing is that one's own side must be strong enough.The reforms implemented back then failed not because the direction was wrong, but because one's own forces were not enough and the timing was wrong.

But now...

"The prime minister wants to re-introduce the reform of the scientific examination?" Shu Yonghe remembered what Geng Bai'an told him before, and suddenly his eyes lit up—isn't now a great time?

Tang Shuo shook his head: "If the emperor has the heart, I naturally hope to see the reform implemented one day, but now the emperor's foundation is not deep, and he has not made any earth-shattering deeds. Even if the old minister wholeheartedly helps you, there is General Geng Yi over there It is inevitable that there will be different voices. The students who have studied hard for many years and are full of enthusiasm are also the most selfish and easily incited. Just give them a high-sounding excuse to hide their selfishness, and they will fight under the banner of serving the country and the people. Can't do anything."

Geng Bai'an continued: "Another point is that there are so many of them, and they feel that as long as they blend in with the crowd, they can use the excuse of 'the law does not punish the crowd' to escape the crimes they actually committed."

"The Empress is right."

There was a moment of silence in the study.

Tang Shuo didn't like the book Yonghe originally, and he came to the palace this time just to clarify his meaning.In Tang Shuo's cognition, Shu Yonghe is about the same as his fearful father, once he heard what he said, he would definitely reject it immediately, and find an excuse not to mention it again.But he didn't expect that the other party seemed to have hidden such thoughts for a long time, which made Tang Shuo wonder what to do next.
