Free-spirited Illegitimate Son

Zhu Zaiyao walked into the hall slowly while talking.

He was dressed in a bright yellow mian suit, striding in, his bright eyes glanced at everyone, he looked energetic, if you looked carefully, it was not difficult to find that the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and he looked refreshed.

Before that, he was so worried that he even had a feeling that the rain was about to come.

Because he knows very well that once the new system is abolished, his orthodoxy may be questioned and his authority challenged. The emperor cannot make mistakes, and it is even more impossible to make such mistakes. If the new system is abolished, the influence will be too great.

After all, the involvement is so extensive, so many people went to study business and law, and the imperial court organized an examination to select a group of officials, so what does it mean to be dismissed?That is the emperor was wrong.

In such a situation, the emperor will issue an imperial edict to punish himself.

In fact, it’s okay for the emperor to admit his mistakes, but Zhu Zaiyao’s situation is a bit special. Generally, most of the emperors who have issued edicts to sin against themselves have been in charge of the country for decades, and they themselves have great authority. For example, the legendary Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the book once issued an edict to sin against himself, but the foundation of his family is solid, and the next edict to sin against himself will make a good story.

But Zhu Zaiyao's situation is obviously different. He has not been on the throne for a long time, and his foundation is not stable. Because of his young age, he has been suspected by people all over the world. To admit his mistakes at this time is undoubtedly telling the people all over the world that the emperor is very unreliable. Sure enough, he is a yellow-haired boy who has no hair on his mouth and can't do things well.

How can such a person be convincing? It is entirely conceivable that there will be endless troubles in the future.

Since the new system is wrong, it is unavoidable to make people wonder whether the new deal is also wrong. At this time, the courtiers who have won the victory will then pursue the victory and start to oppose the new deal.

Once the New Deal is shaken, since Zhu Zaiyao took the throne, he has always regarded the New Deal as his top priority. This is equivalent to three fires for the new official to take office. , so... what will happen next?

Zhu Zaiyao couldn't afford this kind of consequences. His orthodoxy came from his father, who was once the main pusher of the New Deal. Once both father and son were questioned, things would be bad.

But... When yesterday's turmoil happened, Zhu Zaiyao was stunned and worried at first, but soon, his mood became different. Although he was young, he was also smart. After a while, he understood Yafu's previous deep meaning .

And this turmoil, not only did not cause any harm to his imperial power, but became the biggest symbol of the success of the new system.

After one night, the whole city was in disarray, but what they got in return was the great success of the new system. This kind of success is not just a piece of edict and the success of carrying out the will, but the kind of great power that everyone is willing to accept the new system. success.

call……

Zhu Zaiyao finally heaved a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, the previous heaviness seemed to disappear all of a sudden.At this time, his face was flushed with a smile that could not be concealed, and his eyes were bright and confident.

Since he was enthroned to the present, he has never exhaled and raised his eyebrows like this. He glanced at Xia Yan who was kneeling on the ground, and then said: "Master Xia, who are you calling despicable and shameless?"

Xia Yan raised his head and looked at the calm Zhu Zaiyao, his throat was rolling, he muttered a bit, and finally said: "Your Majesty, I... capital crime!"

Then, Xia Yan simply began to bow his head.

No matter how unwilling he is, at this moment he understands better than anyone else that he has indeed lost.

Lost cleanly, completely.

So much so that it became a big joke, what else can he justify now?What's the use of justifying?Outside this palace, there is a group of scholars who wish to tear themselves apart.

Now even if he continues to defend, what's the point?His starting point for everything is that Ye Chunqiu's new system is unpopular, but the real result is that he not only wins the hearts of the people, but also wins the hearts of the people.

A deep fear suddenly arose in his heart. The righteousness he thought he could rely on was actually so vulnerable to Ye Chunqiu's lure to scholars.

Zhu Zaiyao said with a tiger face: "Of course you are wrong. If you are not wrong, is it my fault?"

This rhetorical question made Xia Yan shudder suddenly, his expression full of panic.

But at the next moment, Zhu Zaiyao narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Now that right and wrong have been distinguished, and right and wrong can't be more clearly understood, I never imagined such a big mess would happen. Zhu Qing thinks, what should I do? ?”

It's such a good feeling.

Zhu Zaiyao thought comfortably in his heart, the facts have proved that he was right to support Yafu, it proved that my eyes are as bright as a torch, and it is you who are wrong!

Zhu Zaiyao asked this question, but the ministers were dumbfounded. Obviously, everyone understood that it was out of date to say anything now. At the beginning, they complained about the harm of the new system, but now they want to talk back. It would be embarrassing, but if they continue to insist From this position, this is clearly an act of death. Even if His Majesty spared him, he might not even think about walking out of the Meridian Gate.

Seeing that no one answered, Zhu Zaiyao glanced at Ye Chunqiu, as if expecting Ye Chunqiu's answer, but Ye Chunqiu winked at Zhu Zaiyao.

Zhu Zaiyao understood, and Yafu hoped that he could keep his word and establish his prestige.

Zhu Zaiyao pondered for a moment, and said solemnly: "This matter is of great importance. An edict must be issued immediately to appease people's hearts and convey my will. The new system is what people's hearts want. We should stick to it to the end and let the students not worry. As for all the previous The rumors and rumors are all untrue."

At this moment, all the ministers had no choice but to shout: "My emperor is holy."

Xia Yan's face was ashen at this time, he kowtowed his head and said: "The minister is dying and dying, please Your Majesty's permission, the minister will return home when he is old."

This time, he really hoped to be able to become an official. After going through such a thing, staying in Beijing is meaningless. Now that his prestige has been discredited and he is laughed at by others, it is a kind of physical and mental work for this Minister of Rites to work for one more day. torture.

Now that Zhu Zaiyao has mastered the rhythm and built up his confidence, he is not in a hurry to express his position, but only ambiguously said: "I will think about this matter again."

Thinking about it again, there is room for discussion. The performance is that the minister of pensions is unwilling to lose a minister of the Ministry of Rites, but Zhu Zaiyao has the absolute initiative. Whether you want to resign or not is not up to you, but to me. Forget it, so no matter what decision your majesty makes, it is called Qiankun's arbitrary decision, also called thunder and rain. Your fate is all in my mind.

With that said, Zhu Zaiyao waved his hand and said, "There is no need to discuss matters today, let's all step back, Yafu stays."

The hearts of all the ministers were heavy. At this moment, they realized that the world had turned upside down.
