The content of the reform that Zhou Zheng continued to throw out continued to ferment throughout the Ming Dynasty, causing more and more disturbances.
Zhou Yanru's line was still able to stand his temper, but the place began to become unstable.
The word'tax' is enough to touch people's hearts, not to mention the clear wording of'Equality of Power and Obligation' in the Da Ming Law. The rumors of the Ministry of Households requesting the measurement of the land are also one after another, which makes many people panic.
In addition to the reform of the system, not only the imperial court, but also local changes, the'Governor Responsibility System' made the heads of the three provinces worry and uneasy.
In the past, the governor was of a'temporary nature', similar to imperial envoys. If this changes the system, Sansi will obey orders and become a local'second-level official'. How is this accepted
In particular, the'all commanders' and permanent governors in charge of military affairs, how can this'all commanders' handle themselves? Isn't it redundant? Is the abolition far away
The princes and gentry, who owns a large number of acres, are even more nervous. Most of the world's acres are in their hands. The imperial court wants to measure the acres, and the intention is self-evident, that is, to grab their land. How can they agree
Ever since, in just five days, Daming gradually boiled from top to bottom, and the voices against the'reform' came one after another, vigorously.
On the day before Zhu Cihong offered sacrifices to the ancestral temple, Zhou Yanru's people also began to be unable to sit still.
Prime Minister's Office.
Zhou Yanru's class room is the largest, Zhang Sizhi, Li Juesi, Li Rixuan and others sat under Zhou Yanru's head, all showing bitter expressions.
Zhang Si knows: "Yuanfu, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang are more and more active in the capital. It is clear that a lot of people are being arrested. The court is obviously supporting. The criminal department is alone and cannot be stopped. The lower officials are worried. Going down, something big will happen!"
Li Juesi said: "Recently, Gu Yanwu and others have publicly criticized many ritual laws and requested the Ministry of Rites to amend and announce the world. It is obvious that they are coming to the lower officials. Many people in the Ministry of Rites echoed them. The officer is now a brained lawsuit."
Li Rixuan was also very bitter, saying: "Yuanfu, now the court and the local government urgently need officials at all levels, but Zheng Xibo has been pressing on. Not to mention the five northwestern provinces, even the court. The third grade, including the six ministers There are more than a dozen inside, and more than forty at rank five and above, and most of them have gone to science and technology. If this goes on, there will be no one in the court to do anything!"
Listening to the bitterness of several people, Zhou Yanru had no expressions.
The three of them talked for a while, and Chen Yan was moved in his heart, and said cautiously: "Yuanfu, do you have a tacit understanding with Zheng Xibo?"
The three of Zhang Sizhi were taken aback, and quickly looked at Zhou Yanru, but in fact they also had this kind of speculation in their hearts.
Zhou Yanru looked at these four people, no matter how dissatisfied they were, they were always the four backbones of his Zhou party, and they could not be too alienated. He drank a sip of tea and said: "We have all reached the reform with Zheng Xibo before. If there is a tacit understanding, the change must be changed. The Prime Minister’s Office involves six and nine temples and there will be many new departments, plus 13 governors, governors, various ministers, commissioners, etc., all of which I need to cooperate with Zheng Xibo communication."
Zhang Sizhi and Li Juesi looked at each other and suddenly understood.
This is a power division. What kind of benefit can have such a big benefit, no wonder Zhou Yanru's recent performance is so weird.
Zhang Sizhi's expression moved, and he still said: "Yuanfu, these things are not trivial, and Zheng Xibo's plan is very big, we can't help but stop..."
Zhou Zheng's reform has revealed his fangs, and I don't know how many people are shocked to see it and want to stop it.
Chen Yan, Li Juesi and others also had such expressions. If they really follow Zhou Zheng's plan, Daming will definitely be upset and in danger of overturning!
Zhou Yanru looked at a few people, his expression never moved much, and said lightly: "Are you worried that I will be Wang Mang, or are you worried that Zhou Zhengyun will be Cao Cao? Keep your eyes open, is this possible?"
The four of them looked at Zhou Yanru and didn't know what to say.
Today's Daming is like the end of the Han Dynasty. If someone really tried to be Dong Zhuo, they would definitely attack him in groups, and the end would be miserable. No one would risk the world to do so.
However, if Zhou Zheng continues to do this, sooner or later it will lead to catastrophe!
The emperor is young, who knows if Zhou Zhengyun will change his mind in a few years
Cao Cao didn't want to be Cao Cao at first!
Zhou Yanru knew that he couldn't convince them for a while, so he had to say: "You don't want to move for the time being. When this matter is resolved, we will fix everyone's affairs a year ago, and then the world will be peaceful."
Hearing the words'Tai Ping in the world', the faces of all four people changed and changed.
Since the founding of the country, when did Ming’s court situation be peaceful!
And what is'this matter'? What understanding did Zhou Yanru and Zhou Zhengyun reach
The four of them felt anxious and felt that an unprecedented storm was coming!
Zhou Zheng just came out of the recruit training camp outside the city and sat on the carriage returning to Beijing.
Li Banghua and Zhang Heyi were on both sides of Zhou Zheng, with different expressions.
Li Banghua said with a solemn expression: "Zheng Xibo, if you want to recruit another 200,000 soldiers, it doesn't matter whether the treasury can afford it, or it is not in line with the law, please think twice."
Zhou Zheng glanced at him and said, "Do you still disagree with the pawn reform? You still can't suggest a way to change the weak situation of Ming Ming?"
Li Banghua twitched his face and said, "My lord, the northwest has been calmed down. There is no major danger for the time being. You can figure it out slowly. Why is it so urgent?"
Zhou Zheng snorted coldly and said, "This is your fault! Everything must be done slowly. Take your time. When did you start saying this? Taizu, Jiajing, Wanli, Tianqi, Chongzhen?"
Seeing Zhou Zheng's rare expression on his face, Li Banghua hesitated for a moment, but insisted: "My lord, what I want is to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the foundation. If you do this, you are digging a grave. The lower officials can't agree!"
"This is where I can't compromise with you."
Zhou Zheng restrained his expression and said calmly: "You think you need to take it slowly. But I think it must be fast, and it must be fast. I feel that there is an unprecedented danger approaching. This kind of danger has never been seen before. Don't rush to distinguish. There is no way to explain it to you. You have to consolidate the foundation, but I want to scrape the bones to cure the poison. Daming is not simply hurting his vitality, he is dying, but he wants to break the bones and reorganize..."
This was the first time that Li Banghua heard Zhou Zheng's words in his heart, and his brows wrung unconsciously.
These words of Zhou Zheng will guide his actions. If he really thinks that Daming is poisoned into the bone marrow and needs to be scraped to cure the poison, perhaps these things thrown out right now are just the beginning!
Zhang Heyi looked at Li Banghua's expression and said timely: "Master Li, time does not wait. If you continue to drag the soldiers to reform, the next official will find a way to promote you and take your place." (End of this chapter)
