However, they soon became determined again, thinking: "How could the officials not know about their concerns? How could I not think of it? But tyranny has become a disease of the dynasty, and the people have no way to survive. If they are not eradicated, how can we talk about peace in the world and prosperity in the country?
"
Funing Hall, study room.
After Zhao Yun came back, he also felt that the situation was serious. There were more than 100 civil and military officials, but more than 80 people explicitly opposed the new law. Moreover, these people were all high-ranking and powerful figures in the DPRK, such as Qiao Xingjian and Yuan Shao.
, Cheng Ju, Zhen Dexiu, Zhu Zhu and others, they are all characters who stomp their feet and tremble in places.
But these people were all promoted by Zhao Yun. Why are they so opposed to his new law now?
Is the new law really outdated?
"Gao Shi, Xuan Chen Guiyi, Li Zongmian, Chen Longzhi."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Gao Shi agreed and quickly went to communicate.
Soon, three people arrived.
The three of them raised their hands to apologize, and Chen Guiyi said: "Your Majesty, the incompetence of the ministers has caused the court debate to be at a disadvantage today. Please punish me."
Zhao Yun waved his hand, looked at the three of them, and said seriously: "Don't say this, you and I, the monarch and our ministers, are all dedicated to serving the public good. There is no punishment for the new law, just try your best."
Chen Guiyi, Li Zongmian, and Chen Longzhi felt warm in their hearts. They thought that the official family was like this. They never put too much pressure on their ministers, and they would take care of them when something happened. The official family was like this, and those who were ministers had no choice but to die for it.
.
Then Zhao Yun said: "The courtiers' opposition to the new law is nothing more than fear of rebellion by the powerful. However, the court meeting is serious and has a great impact, so the courtiers did not say it clearly. But even so, it is impossible for me to give up the new law because of fear of the powerful. In the final analysis, this world is still
In this world of hundreds of millions of people, if they cannot survive, they will overthrow the imperial court sooner or later. I hope the three Qing family can understand this."
Chen Guiyi nodded solemnly and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the powerful ministers among them all understand that the evil of powerful people is no longer something that happens overnight. We are all prepared for a long-term struggle. We believe that the difficulties are only temporary. When the people of the world can
If we support the imperial court, then there will definitely be more people who understand and support the new law, and our road will definitely be better."
Zhao Yun nodded happily, "Very good, you have not lost confidence. I am very pleased and satisfied. Tomorrow's court meeting is the top priority. If the situation cannot be restored, I am afraid that the future will be more difficult. Let's discuss it.
How to deal with it."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Zhao Yun waved his hand and called the three of them closer. The four monarchs and ministers gathered around the table and planned carefully.
Cining Hall.
Queen Mother Yang was listening to a report from a small yellow sect. She was even more happy when she heard that Zhao Yun's new law was clearly opposed by hundreds of officials, especially Qiao Xingjian, Yuan Shao, Cheng Jue, Zhen Dexiu and others.
.
The corner of Queen Mother Yang's mouth turned up in an arc, and she said with a proud smile: "The official ignores the facts and has offended the civil and military officials of the dynasty. His good days are coming to an end."
The name of the little Huangmen who reported to Empress Dowager Yang was Liu Yan. When he saw Empress Dowager Yang, he was overjoyed and said with a flattering look on his face: "What the empress said is that the official family is still young after all. They think they have secured the throne, but they don't know that the empress is the court."
Without the support of the empress, how can he accomplish anything? Let alone implement the new law."
"Yeah?"
"Of course, you are the pillar of our Song Dynasty."
"Yes, the Ai family is the pillar of the Song Dynasty. Without the Ai family, the official family would be just a papery country boy, hahaha,,,"
Empress Dowager Yang was so flattered by Liu Yan that she forgot all about it and laughed proudly.
By the time Liu Yan retired, he had received a great reward from Empress Dowager Yang. The gift given to him was a three-color vase from the Tang Dynasty. It was extremely dazzling. If it were auctioned at the Imperial Treasure Hall, it would be worth at least ten thousand yuan.
Liu Yan was very proud, holding the three-color vase with great pride. Looking at the other little Huangmen and palace maids, he already had a sense of superiority.
At this time, Jia Chong came over and saw that he was holding a precious vase in his hand, and immediately scolded him.
After receiving the reward from Empress Dowager Yang, Liu Yan already regarded himself as Empress Dowager Yang's confidant, and was no longer afraid of Jia Chong's angry rebuke.
Liu Yan said: "Eunuch Jia, this is the treasure given by the Queen Mother. Is it possible that our family has obtained the treasure of the Queen Mother and wants to relinquish it to you?"
After speaking, Liu Yan ignored Jia Chong and turned to leave.
"You,,,Liu Yan, you ungrateful thing, when you were castrated and your wound opened, if our family hadn't helped you stop the bleeding, you would still be alive today!"
Jia Chong scolded him for a while, but Liu Yan didn't take it seriously at all and didn't even bother to respond.
Since Empress Dowager Yang lost power, Jia Chong has put his tail between his legs and his authority has naturally declined.
From time to time, Zhao Yun would call him for questioning. Out of fear of Zhao Yun, he mostly treated Empress Dowager Yang with advice, which made Jia Chong increasingly disliked around Empress Dowager Yang.
In Cining Hall, many people are not as afraid of him as before.
Then Jia Chong met Empress Dowager Yang, who asked him: "How was the court meeting today?"
Jia Chong bowed and said: "Go back to your Majesty, the guards are very strict during the court meeting, and it is not easy for the young ones to get close to watch."
After saying that, Jia Chong raised his eyes and glanced at Empress Dowager Yang. Seeing that she had a good face, he said: "Your Majesty, the court meeting is a central court meeting. Now that your Majesty has already withdrawn the curtain and returned to the government, it is really not appropriate to ask too much about the affairs of the government, so as not to offend.
Officials are suspicious."
"snort."
Empress Dowager Yang's face turned cold and she said angrily: "Jia Chong, whose slave are you? Since the Ai family has withdrawn the curtain and returned to power, every time the Ai family has something to do for you, you just shirk and prevaricate. You really think that the Ai family doesn't know what you are thinking."
?Have you been bribed by the officials to spy on the Ai family?"
Jia Chong was frightened, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground, crying: "My queen, I am thirty-five years old now, but I have been following my queen for twenty-three years. I not only regard my queen as my lord, but also my mother."
If someone is unfavorable to your Majesty, I can risk my life for your sake. My Majesty, I have not betrayed you, never."
Queen Mother Yang burst into tears when she saw Jia Chong crying. The relationship between master and servant for many years also made her soft-hearted, and she knew that what she just said had hurt Jia Chong's heart.
"Get up and listen carefully from now on. You don't need to worry about other things."
"Yes, empress."
Jia Chong stood up pitifully, and then Queen Mother Yang waved her hand to let him go down.
Soon, the person who served Empress Dowager Yang in place of Jia Chong became Liu Yan.
Now Liu Yan became even more arrogant, commanding the little yellow gates and palace maids of Cining Palace, just like driving pigs, cows, dogs and horses, he was domineering and intimidating.
