After Zhang Chu left, Zhao Yun stood up, put his hands behind his back, walked to the window, and looked up at the moon.
"Why did Yuan Shao go to Han Hong?"
Zhao Yun murmured to himself, his brows furrowed in concern.
On the second day, Zhao Yun issued an order to promote Chen Longzhi to the position of Minister of Dali Temple and take over the position of Xie Caibo. He also issued an order to promote Li Zongmian to the position of Yushi Zhongcheng and take over the position of Xu Qingsou.
Zhao Yun used this method to once again release his tough attitude to the officials.
Whoever opposes the reform will be replaced by me!
In the political affairs hall, Qiao Xingjian, Yuan Shao, Zhen Dexiu and others all had sad faces and furrowed brows. They had been like this since Zhao Yun announced the appointment of Chen Guiyi as the political advisor, and they had not relaxed for a day.
At this time, Cui Cheng, Guo Yingyi and other seven or eight people came to them, each of them holding a memorial in their hands.
Cui Cheng first told Qiao Xingjian and Yuan Shao: "Now there is no war outside the country, there is no rebellion inside the country, and the world is at peace. This is the time when the country is peaceful and the people are safe. The officials are implementing new laws to deprive the gentry of their legitimate property. This has already happened
We are not competing with the people for profit, but for their lives. How can we, as ministers, turn a blind eye?"
After saying that, Cui Cheng straightened his body and looked upright, and continued: "Today I will continue to report to the officials. I must ask the officials to revoke the new law and bring order to the chaos."
After saying that, Cui Cheng handed a memorial to Qiao Xingjian, then turned around and left without fear.
Guo Yingyi then sent a memorial to Qiao Xingjian and Yuan Shao. He said: "It is wrong for the officials to implement the new law. It is retrograde. I hope that all the envoys will also stand up and advise the officials to avoid turmoil in the country.
"
Seven or eight of them put down the memorials one by one, and more officials came one after another. After a while, the memorials were piled up in a pile, which showed the official public opinion's attitude towards the new law.
Seeing this, Yuan Shao shook his head and said worriedly: "The officials are so resistant to the new law, which shows that the new law is really unpopular and destined to fail."
Not only Yuan Shao, but also Qiao Xingjian, Zhen Dexiu, Wei Liaoweng, Zhu Zhu, Zhao Shanxiang, Gou Mengyu and others are not optimistic about the new law at this moment.
Of course, they are not optimistic about the new law, not only because many officials are opposed to it, but also because they themselves have tens of thousands of acres of land under their names, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of acres. If the new law is really implemented, their land will have to be handed over.
"Quickly, send all these memorials to the officials to see what they think."
Yuan Shao summoned Nie Chi and ordered him to send all the memorials to Funing Hall for Zhao Yun to see.
Soon, these memorials were placed in front of Zhao Yun's desk. Zhao Yun took a quick look and saw that there were more than thirty copies. Zhao Yun was angry and couldn't help but feel bored with the officials.
But Zhao Yun knew that this was just the beginning, and many court officials were still waiting and watching, such as Qiao Xingjian, Yuan Shao, Zhen Dexiu, Zhu Zhu, Wei Liaoweng and others who had not expressed their stance yet.
Not only that, many local officials have not yet received the news, so they have not yet seen the memorials from the local officials. After a long time, these people will also have to submit memorials.
No matter how much he does, am I still afraid of him?
One by one, the two words "read" were given. After approving the memorial, Zhao Yun stopped looking at it and immediately wrote down the imperial pen to transfer Cui Cheng and Guo Yingyi to Fujian Road and send them out of Lin'an.
Zhao Yun's attitude also showed his determination to reform, and at the same time, it also warned the officials, hoping that they would see the situation clearly.
Reform is inevitable, no matter who opposes it, or how many people oppose it, nothing can stop it!
"How can an official act like this? Isn't this trying to block the flow of speech?"
Cui Cheng and Guo Yingyi were shocked when they learned that they had been transferred to a local prefecture and county in Fujian. They all came to the Funing Palace and asked to meet Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun was impatient and said to Gao Shi: "No, they must leave the capital within three days to take up their posts. If they dare to delay, they will be punished for being disrespectful to the emperor."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Facing the extremely powerful Zhao Yun, Cui Cheng, and Guo Yingyi, it was naturally impossible for them to cause any waves. Soon, they left the palace and returned home with full of unwillingness.
Back at the mansion, Cui Cheng ordered his people to invite Zhang Gui and said to him: "The officials were resolute in implementing the new law and promoted Chen Longzhi and Li Zongmian one after another. Both of them had good personal relationships with Chen Guiyi. Maybe the officials were
If we want them to assist Chen Guiyi, I'm afraid the new law will be implemented soon.
You go back to the officials and ask them to share the same hatred with many gentry and prevent the implementation of the new law. As long as the new law encounters major setbacks at the beginning of its implementation, there will be officials in the court who will strongly advise against it, and the new law will be dead."
After Zhang Gui heard this, he did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went to spread the news.
Funing Hall, Garden, Zhao Yun is fishing.
"Gao Shi, Chen Guiyi is here to see you."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Gao Shi respectfully agreed and went down immediately.
Soon, Chen Guiyi arrived.
After saluting, Zhao Yun asked Chen Guiyi to sit next to him and fish with him.
Chen Guiyi didn't dare to say anything, but Zhao Yun said with a smile: "Don't be so restrained in the Qing family. You and I are both monarchs and ministers in the Chui Gong Palace, and we are also like-minded confidants, so there is no need to be nervous."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chen Guiyi thanked him respectfully, took a fishing rod from Gao Shi, and sat next to Zhao Yun to fish.
While fishing, Zhao Yun said slowly: "I have thought a lot about the new law in the past few days. It may be very difficult to implement it nationwide at once, and people's hearts are unstable. It is better to use Renhe County as a pilot and implement it in Renhe first.
Once the results are achieved and everyone is convinced, what do you think of the Qing family when it is rolled out across the country?"
When Chen Guiyi first listened to the first half of Zhao Yun's words, he thought that Zhao Yun was going to back off, and he almost didn't even catch the fishing rod. Fortunately, Zhao Yun's subsequent words did not change his original intention, and he played more steadily, which was also a help to himself.
Chen Guiyi nodded and said: "Your Majesty's concerns are reasonable. Since this matter is based on the Luo Shijing case in Renhe County, Renhe will be used as a pilot for the new law. This method is indeed safe and I think it is feasible."
Zhao Yun added: "Now the powerful and powerful people in various places are already asking about the farmland-to-household law. We are piloting it in Renhe, and they will definitely disrupt it in every possible way. If the pilot fails, the new law will not be implemented. The Qing family needs to be prepared."
Chen Guiyi looked solemn and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will not take this lightly. For the sake of the happiness of the people and the great order of the world, I have already put my life and death aside. If they dare to interfere, I will dare to die with them."
Chen Guiyi's words were eloquent and confident, which was admirable.
Zhao Yun knew that Chen Guiyi had become his Wang Anshi, and he seemed to have become Song Shenzong. He hoped that he and Chen Guiyi would not follow in their footsteps.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Yun said: "I am the same way."
