Chapter 292 Death Remonstrance

Seeing a large number of Jin Yiwei coming, all the officials immediately understood that the emperor was going to implement this policy at all costs. No matter whether they agreed or blocked it, they could not stop the emperor's actions. Therefore, people who had figured it out were under the pressure of the Jin Yiwei.

got off, quickly got up, and returned to the order of officials.

Afterwards, more and more officials stood up and returned to their positions. Soon there were only three veterans left on the field, and they were the first to take the lead in kneeling down.

"Your Majesty, no, the world will be in chaos!" The three veterans did not care about the others, they just kept kowtowing, hoping that Zhu Youxiao could take back his life. The banging sounds kept coming, and their foreheads soon became

It's red and even bloodshot.

"Take them down!" Zhu Youxiao ignored the advice of the three veterans and directly let Xu Xianchun take them down.

"I'm offended." Xu Xianchun whispered, and then waved his hands to ask his subordinates to come up and twist the three veterans and drag them down.

Perhaps seeing that the emperor was resolute and showed no intention of repenting, the old minister in the middle who was the loudest and had the strongest temper shouted at the top of his lungs.

"You foolish king, with such perverse actions, you will definitely overthrow the country and bring chaos to the country. I don't know what your appearance will be like when you go to see your ancestors!" The old minister was dragged away and continued to curse, but Zhu Youxiao turned a deaf ear and regarded it as a crime.

Can't hear it.

However, the old minister's scolding became more and more fierce, his voice became louder and louder, and he kept struggling, making it almost impossible for the two Jinyi guards to capture him.

"What a waste." Xu Xianchun frowned and prepared to drag the stubborn old man down by himself. Unexpectedly, the old man suddenly became angry and broke away from the two Jinyi guards who were trying to push him away, and cursed loudly.

"You are such a foolish king, you will definitely bring chaos to the country. I don't care about my life. I will kill you again today. Let's see how you end up!" After the old minister finished cursing, he turned around and rushed towards a thick pillar.

boom!

After the old minister's forehead touched the pillar, there was a sudden sound. After the loud noise, the old minister's body slowly slid down, and a stream of rich blood flowed down from the impact point, which was extremely bright.

All this happened in a flash of lightning, and no one could react. After the old minister scolded him, he hit the pillar directly. Xu Xianchun walked over with an ugly expression. In any case, the prisoner was thrown into his own hands.

It's all your own responsibility.

After walking a few steps to the pillar, Xu Xianchun lowered his head, inspected it carefully, and then stood up with an extremely ugly face.

"I'm out of breath!"

Three simple words, but Zhu Youxiao was stunned. They didn't expect that in the end, it would be like this, and someone would scold them.

Staring at the corpse, Zhu Youxiao had a complicated expression. Of course he didn't feel sorry for the other party. He knew how much resistance he wanted to implement to nationalize the land, and the landlord class with vested interests would definitely resist madly. However, he didn't expect it.

The first case of bleeding happened during the court meeting.

It’s not worth dying!

This is Zhu Youxiao’s truest feeling. Perhaps in their eyes, their actions are defending morality, but when viewed against the backdrop of historical trends, such behavior is a mantis trying to block the progress of society. This time, Zhu Youxiao felt

For reasons that are not worth it, if a person dies, he will not have a good reputation in the opinions and discussions of others in the future.

"Drag it down!" Zhu Youxiao's attitude was still cold, as if it was not the minister who died, but the cat and the dog. He waved his hand and asked Xu Xianchun to drag the body down.

"yes!"

Seeing that the emperor did not blame himself, Xu Xianchun also breathed a sigh of relief, and led the people to quickly clean up the situation. During this period, Zhu Youxiao and the officials were staring at him. He did not speak, and no one among the officials looked at his mouth.

, the two sides faced off quietly like this until the royal guards in the hall disappeared.

"From today onwards, the restructuring begins. Local areas are divided into three levels: provinces, prefectures and counties, with governors, prefects and county magistrates in charge. Their grades are upgraded one level, from the second grade, from the fourth grade, to the sixth grade. After the Spring Festival is over,

The Ministry of Civil Affairs sent officials to the localities to start restructuring." After a long silence, Zhu Youxiao finally spoke and made a summary.

After changing some minor systems, it was announced that the reform had begun!

"Yes, I will obey your Majesty's order!" Li Ruhua took the lead and bowed in response. Behind him, officials from the Metropolitan Governor's Office of the Cabinet followed suit, and then more officials spoke.

Although the voice was not very neat, it no longer had the same atmosphere as when he was forced to go to the palace just now. This made Zhu Youxiao relax a little, and finally there was no need to send out the royal guards, and blood was spattered five steps away.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, signaling Liu Ruoyu to announce the end of the morning session.

Liu Ruoyu understood, cleared his throat, and shouted, "The first month of the dynasty is over, all officials..." However, before he could finish speaking, a man walked out of the team and interrupted him.

"Your Majesty, wait a minute, I have my own intention to tell you!" The person who shouted was Xu Xi, the Duke of Dingguo, who had been ignored for a long time.

Seeing him coming out of the queue, Zhu Youxiao was also stunned, and then realized that the other party had not been to the court for a long time, and now he appeared in the court meeting. He obviously did not want to participate in the court affairs, but had something to report.

To be honest, the series of changes just now made Zhu Youxiao completely forget about him. He originally planned to ask him something at the end of the court meeting, but in the end he completely forgot about it. Xu Xi had no choice but to report it himself

.

"Ahem!"

After coughing in embarrassment, Zhu Youxiao asked, "Xu Aiqing, what's important?"

Xu Xi didn't feel anything. Others were overwhelmed by the large number and wonderful policies. He forgot his own purpose for a while, and then the drama of death remonstrance happened, which shocked him even more, until Liu Ruoyu was about to announce the dynasty.

After it was over, he came back to his senses and hurriedly stepped out of line to interrupt.

Fortunately, the emperor did not blame him.

Xu Xi calmed down, cupped his hands and said, "Dingguo Gong has been passed down from his ancestor Xu Zengshou for eight generations. As the saying goes, a gentleman's merits will be cut off after five generations, let alone eight generations of ministers. The incident of Wei Guogong Xu Hongji has brought shame to the family, and it is also

Let the old minister reflect. After thinking for a long time, I discovered with great sadness that the merits of the Xu family have declined. Therefore, today I have no status, and I would like to ask your majesty to remove the rank and salary of the old minister Ding Guogong in order to preserve the Xu family.

"

Wow!

The officials were once again in an uproar. Even though they had just undergone the baptism of tax exemption and land nationalization, they were still shocked at this moment. Is the Xu family, regarded as the purple golden bridge of the Ming Dynasty and a family with two kingdoms, also about to decline?

Looking at Xu Xi who bowed his head and knelt down to ask the emperor to remove him from the title of Duke, all the officials' minds were in chaos when they thought about the Duke of Wei whose head was missing and whose whole family was assigned to Liaodong.

At this moment, I came back to my senses and thought that Emperor Tianqi, who had only been on the throne for only a year, had actually done so many great things.
Chapter completed!
