Chapter 705 Let the bullets fly
Gao Huan originally thought that these people would raise their opinions against the new policy, but they didn't expect that they would say they were happy.
They went from paying grains together with officials and gentry, placing territories to criticizing Gao Huan for not protecting the interests of gentry, and then to the Liang Kingdom's scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, encouraging industry and commerce, and recruiting Western Yi professors to Western learning, all of which became their direction of attack and criticism.
With Yansheng's public criticism, the entire conference immediately reached a climax and became a meeting that criticized Liang Guo and Gao Huan.
Obviously, things are changing, and the old nobles and local tyrants are attacking wildly.
Luo Yangxing sat in the crowd, feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles. He found that the officials in the corner were constantly recording the content of the meeting and quickly recorded the words they said.
As the commander of the Jinyiwei, although he was not highly valued during the Chongzhen period, he was a mixed-viewer after all. Unlike the honorary and relatives who either rely on their ancestors to protect themselves or have a beautiful daughter, he relied on his ability to gain power and had some abilities.
At this time, Luo Yangxing was shocked when he saw that Gao Huan was not angry. He knew that Gao Huan could tolerate this and must have led the snake out. He may have been implicated in his speech today.
For a moment, Luo Yangxing was sweating coldly and was extremely panicked. However, Zhou Kui and the newly joined Yan Shenggong did not notice the catastrophe. They were already in front of him and were still criticizing Gao Huan's policies.
At this time, as the criticism became more presumptuous, Zhou Yanru glanced at Gao Huan from the corner of his eyes, worried that Gao Huan would suddenly explode.
However, Gao Huan always kept smiling, but his eyes were unconsciously showing an unconcealed cold light.
The meeting lasted for one morning, and the meeting that originally listened to opinions basically became a criticism of Gao Huan and the Liang State government.
Gao Huan did not express his opinion at the end of the conference. As time came, Zhou Yanru couldn't wait to announce the end of the conference and then hugged Gao Huan to leave.
At this time, Gao Huan retreated into the inner hall and his face immediately turned dark.
Seeing Gao Huan's expression, Zhou Yanru and others couldn't help but say angrily: "King, these people are too presumptuous!"
This conference made Gao Huan realize that the old gentry's attitude towards him, even if the Jiangnan, which had already surrendered, the gentry's wealthy gentry probably only surrendered due to his power.
It seems that the investment in education must be increased, and the Liang State needs a new class of scholars to replace these decadent gentry.
Li Wu said angrily: "King, the person who spoke just now has already recorded whether to arrest him immediately."
Gao Huan returned to calmness, stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "No hurry, monsters and monsters, only by letting them out of the cage can they be wiped out. Only by letting them unearth the poisonous weeds can they be eradicated."
Since Yan Shenggong jumped out, I'm afraid many people will be ready to move. Gao Huan happened to take this opportunity to test and see which enemies are enemies and which are their own people.
After hearing Gao Huan's words, Zhou Yanru and others felt a little shocked, knowing that someone was going to be fooled and would be in trouble.
At this time, Gao Huan continued: "Let Daliang Daily write an article to report on this matter, calling on everyone to bloom and a hundred schools of thought to contend."
Gao Huan was preparing to see Jiang Nan's reaction, so that he knew that for those who had surrendered, paid taxes honestly, but did not support his political views, Gao Huan would no longer need to ask for them, and would squeeze them out of the core of Liang State, so that they would gradually decline and be eliminated.
Zhou Yanru nodded in a deep voice, "I understand!"
Gao Huan then looked at Pei Lun and asked, "Are you ready to collect evidence of Zhou Kui and others' surrender to the enemy?"
Pei Lun bowed and said, "The king and others have a lot of bad deeds, but they don't know that they dare to jump out to attack the king. They are simply seeking death. I have already collected evidence of the Qing army's attack on Beijing and Zhou Kui and others' offering the city."
When the Qing army arrived in Beijing, the honors and relatives in the city opened the city to surrender to save their lives.
After the founding of the Northern Ming Dynasty, these people naturally did not admit that they had opened the city, but instead slandered the eunuch Cao Huachun to open the city, spreading news that Cao Huachun sold his owners for honor and defected to the Qing court everywhere.
There are many people and many friends, and they talk about it all. Poor Cao Huachun is not in Beijing, but he takes the blame for them. Although he argues all kinds of things, no one believes him at all.
When Gao Huan wants to deal with these people, naturally it is not that they criticized themselves, but that they started from other aspects.
Gao Huan asked in a deep voice: "Is it ironclad?"
Pei Lun bowed and said, "Don't worry, you must leave them speechless."
Gao Huan nodded when he heard this, and then instructed again: "The National Security Department should monitor them well and don't let someone run away."
After the meeting, everyone came out of the palace and was refreshed.
Everyone was so happy that they felt like they were a censor in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhou Kui and others laughed and laughed, but Luo Yangxing walked out in dismay. When he came out of the palace, he stepped down the steps and almost fell.
Wei Zaode, who was beside him, quickly supported him, "Commander Luo, are you okay?"
"It's okay, nothing is wrong!" Luo Yangxing barely recovered from calmness, and then whispered: "Georg Master Wei, this matter is not normal today! How many people have King Liang killed in Jiangnan? Today, everyone commented on this, King Liang must be furious."
Wei Zaode was slightly stunned after hearing this, and remembered the scene in which everyone in the venue criticized Gao Huan and Liang Guo.
Although it shows that since the middle and late periods of the dynasty, it has been politically correct to scold the emperor and the court, and it can gain political capital and reputation.
The officials and gentry class of the Ming Dynasty joined forces to create a kind of political phenomenon that as long as you scold the emperor and the court, you are a good official. If you are beaten by the emperor's stick, it will become a political phenomenon that a hero who pleads for the people and speaks for justice.
This made some ministers scold the emperor if they had nothing to do, but the emperors of the Ming Dynasty could only swallow their anger most of the time when facing the fierce public opinion.
Some officials and gentry still retained this habit, but they seemed to have forgotten that Gao Huan was not the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
In fact, Wei Zaode also saw that things were a little strange, so he didn't say a word throughout the whole process.
At this time, Zhou Kui and others came over. When they heard Luo Yangxing's words, they couldn't help but feel terrified, and they came back to their senses and felt a little scared.
In the past few years when the Qing Dynasty occupied the north, they basically did not dare to speak out because they made random suggestions and criticized the Qing court, and they would be beheaded by the Qing Dynasty.
They held it in for a long time, and today Gao Huan asked them to mention it. They were indeed dissatisfied with Gao Huan. In addition, they couldn't help it for a while, so they all criticized Gao Huan.
After all, Gao Huan was not the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He had killed Xunqi in Nanjing before. After everyone calmed down, everyone was a little nervous.
At this time, surrounded by a group of gentry, the rumor of chatting and laughing came out, and many gentry praised Yan Shenggong's righteousness.
Gao Huan attached importance to engineering, hired Western Yi to teach in Jiangnan, and also changed the imperial examination system of the Ming Dynasty.
Although these things did not happen in Shandong, they also made some pedantic scholars feel dissatisfied.
Today, Yan Shenggong came out to criticize Gao Huan, let Gao Huan pay attention to Confucianism, ban the Engineering Science Hall, and drive away the Western Barbarians, which made everyone feel very happy.
