"These people... actually said that I am a crony??"

Chu Ge casually flipped through a few chapters of the memorial to impeach him, almost having high blood pressure.

But the game has not completely failed at this time, because he still has the opportunity to go to the court to see the emperor.

If he could refute these opponents in the court and regain the emperor's trust, then there would be room for change in the matter. Naturally, his reform would be able to proceed smoothly into the second year.

In the court, officials from all walks of life quickly began their performances.

"Official officials have learned a lesson! I believe that the new law is too large in scale and difficult to implement. The measures are too drastic and will not be implemented gradually. Not only will it not be beneficial to the national economy and people's livelihood, but it will also cause turmoil, causing everyone to be in danger and cliques to emerge!"

"I think that our Qi Dynasty shares the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, and the state supplies are insufficient, so why should we rob the scholar-bureaucrats? If people's hearts are betrayed, who will be able to govern this huge nine states and thousands of directions for the officials?"

"I think that the new law is called to strengthen the country, but in fact it is secretly forming cronies! Officials must be on guard against it!"

"Wang Wenchuan is arrogant and untrustworthy, and he has a false reputation! If the officials continue to use him, I am afraid that he will soon become a thorn in his side!"

Listening to these criticisms of himself, Chu Ge was so angry that he couldn't help but cry out.

These people are going to die!

The so-called "official family" is the name given to the emperor in the Qi Dynasty. Some ministers explained that "the three emperors govern the world, the five emperors govern the world, and they have the virtues of the three and five, so they are called the official family."

As for the rhetoric used by these officials to attack, there are only a few types.

Some people say that the scale of the new law is too large, involving a large number of officials from all over the Qi Dynasty, making it difficult to implement at all, and it is a waste of effort;

Some people say that the new law's approach to official governance does not have any buffer at all. A group of people will be dismissed or demoted as soon as it comes up, which can easily cause turmoil;

Others say that the new law is actually a secret attempt to form cliques and threaten the emperor's status...

Chu Ge's feeling at this time was a bit inexplicable.

What kind of remarks are these!

It’s obviously not worth refuting!

However, since we are in front of the emperor, we can only show a 120-point attitude and engage in a serious verbal battle with the Confucian scholars.

The talent Chu Ge received this time was the same talent as before.

But this time the verbal battle among the Confucian scholars was obviously more righteous and confident.

The Green Crops Law was changed before, which caused losses to the country and made the emperor no longer trust him. Although his intentions were good, judging from the results, he did have to take the blame. This is true.

But what about this time?

He wants to rectify the officialdom!

The problem of officialdom was obvious to everyone, and the emperor knew it well, otherwise he would not have agreed to his plan.

If this is the case, then these people’s claims are completely self-defeating!

How do you call the measures too drastic and unreasonable? I obviously started with a very gentle aspect? Doesn’t it mean that all unqualified officials will be removed from the first step, or only some of them will be removed?

What does it mean that the scale is too large and difficult to implement? Reform is not something that can be accomplished overnight. If everything is said to be too large and cannot be done, then what kind of reform is there?

It is even more outrageous to say that the reform would offend the scholar-bureaucrats and cause them to stop supporting the emperor, leading to chaos in the world.

Did Sheng Taizu kill fewer officials? After embezzling a few taels of silver, he peeled off the skin and made it into grass. Was the world in chaos?

On the contrary, later on, the power of officials became more and more powerful, and when "all the people were in power", the people were in dire straits...

Among the scholar-bureaucrats, there are indeed officials like Wang Wenchuan who can do practical things, but there are also many who are simply worms in the country. Why, is it not allowed to remove even the worms?

Then Daqi deserved to be destroyed by the Jin Kingdom.

As for cliques, this is even more nonsense. If Wang Wenchuan wants to use people to reform, he must promote a group of people and suppress a group of people. He can't just call it cliques when it comes to the appointment and dismissal of personnel, right?

After all, a crony is a basket, and anything can be put into it.

The emperor can't be confused about such a simple thing, right?

Chu Ge was full of confidence because he knew that this emperor was not a top-notch emperor. He still wanted to do things, and his reputation in history was pretty good.

Therefore, Kang's speech this time should be effective.

Thinking of this, Chu Ge confidently refuted all the important ministers headed by Wen Junshi.

Especially when talking about cronies, Chu Ge repeatedly emphasized that the capable are promoted and the mediocre are demoted. This is inevitable in the reform process and is also a normal personnel appointment and removal.

If you want to do something, you must promote some officials who can do it. Otherwise, they will restrict each other and time will be spent in meaningless internal friction. How can the reform be successful?

In a word, please trust me!

As long as you give me five years, you will definitely give back an efficient and clean officialdom to the government; if you give me ten years, you will definitely give back a wealthy country and a powerful military force!

With the blessing of talent, these words were spoken with great passion, and officials of the New Party agreed one after another.

Those members of the old party have absolutely no other option but to continue to use the term "crony" to make personal attacks.

The emperor was very moved and immediately decided to expel Wang Wenchuan from the capital.

At this time, there was a serious border conflict in the north, and the Jin soldiers might move south at any time. The imperial court needed an important minister to go out on patrol, and Wang Wenchuan was the best candidate.

Therefore, Wang Wenchuan was transferred to Hedong Xuanfu Envoy and went out on patrol.

Although he still retains the title of counselor of political affairs, he has actually been transferred out of the center of the imperial court.
