Chapter 1899: Break the road of life

Zhu Zaiyao's face finally lost a little sad look and showed a satisfied smile.

With Ye Chunqiu in charge of the capital, he can indeed have a good sleep.

Then, let everything be handed over to Ye Chunqiu, who firmly believed that his Asian father would definitely handle things better than him!

The king and his ministers chatted for a while. Ye Chunqiu went to see the Empress Dowager and asked for peace. He then said goodbye from the palace. Then, he stayed directly at the Honglu Temple.

Before leaving the capital last time, Ye Chunqiu had sold out all the Ye family's property in the capital, including the mansion. It was not that he really refused to leave any private property in the capital, but Ye Chunqiu thought he had to make a move.

The Honglu Temple is the residence of the vassal kings and envoys of the vassal states. Now, as the vassal king who entered the capital, it is most suitable to live here.

The arrival of Ye Chunqiu shocked the officials of Honglu Temple, including all sizes. Of course, they knew Ye Chunqiu's weight. This young prince was different from other ordinary vassal kings, so he took good care of him. After cleaning up the best mansion, he invited Ye Chunqiu to move in.

After staying, not long after, many people came to visit, including some old acquaintances of Ye Chunqiu. Some came to reminisce about the past, and some came to inquire about the news in the name of reminisce about the past.

Ye Chunqiu didn't reveal anything for the time being, but just exchanged some unimportant words with them, but he just filled the tea.

In the evening, he thought that his old Mount Tai should be worth it, so Ye Chunqiu moved and rushed to the Wang family to pay a visit.

Before Ye Chunqiu entered Beijing, even his father-in-law had not revealed any news. So Wang Hua was surprised when he heard that Ye Chunqiu had suddenly returned to Beijing in the palace. However, he was always calm and did not be too anxious to meet him immediately. Instead, he continued to write a memorial slowly and got home. He knew that Ye Chunqiu would definitely come to pay a visit, so he had been waiting for Ye Chunqiu in the small hall.

When Ye Chunqiu saw Wang Hua, he saluted him. Wang Hua nodded, but smiled bitterly and said, "You are so scared that you are so scared. Tell me, what's wrong with you when you come back suddenly? Don't use anything else to fool me, I know you're in the pass without any trouble."

Ye Chunqiu came here just to meet his father-in-law with intention. Seeing that Wang Hua was already straight to the point, he was too lazy to say anything, so he took out his own rules and sent it to Wang Hua.

Wang Hua had a bad look. He squinted his eyes, picked up the rules and looked at it carefully. After reading it, he took a deep breath with a slightly heavy expression, then raised his eyes and said, "Is this... what you mean, or what Your Majesty mean?"

Ye Chunqiu did not hesitate and said, "It's Your Majesty's intention, and it's mine."

Wang Hua felt a little cold on his back. He only thought of one thing now. The eight-legged reform is even more terrifying than the new policy. This is a way to break the road to life.

Think about it, how many scholars have studied hard for decades and learned all the Four Books and Five Classics, and these eight essays. This is half of their lifelong efforts. I just hope to be able to be ranked on the list in one go!

But now I have suddenly changed the imperial examination and no longer took the eight-legged essay exam. Isn’t this equivalent to killing people?

He said with a serious expression: "This is definitely not a joke. Do you know what consequences will be caused once this news is revealed? Spring and Autumn, you were also a scholar at the beginning, so you should know what this means. The longing and hope in the hearts of scholars are like you are directly extinguishing all of this. What is the difference between this... and killing them?"

Ye Chunqiu's expression was still calm, saying, "Not breaking or establishing. After the new policy, isn't their hatred for the new policy irreconcilable? Since they cannot please them, they are our enemies, then what's wrong with those who kill them and kill them? Lord Taishan, I know what you mean, and I also know what you are worried about. But the new policy is always difficult to implement now. To put it bluntly, it's just that officials are slandering it. There are many gentry in the area who disobey the situation. As the saying goes, sailing against the current, and if you don't advance, you will retreat. If you continue to stalemate like this now, the new policy will not only be abandoned halfway, but it is very likely that many people will harm the people under this banner."

Speaking of this, Ye Chunqiu paused, looked at Wang Hua with a complicated face, and then continued: "When Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty was there, Wang Jinggong wanted a new policy. Which one was not good, which one was not for the welfare of the people, and for the country and country of the Song Dynasty? He was the prime minister, and in theory, he received the support of Emperor Shenzong. Most of the old parties were exiled to the local area by him. A large number of people in the court were his disciples, but why, in the end, the new policy not only did not benefit the people, but eventually became a tool to harm the people?"

"This is because, although he received the support of the emperor, formulated a thorough reform method, and took over the power of the people, the target of his reform was those literati. Will the literati and officials in the world really cut off their own flesh because of a decree? No, no, so when the old party was suppressed and completely drove out of the court, the officials at the bottom of the country carried out a slanderous act. They distorted Wang Jinggong's original intention and harmed the people everywhere. As a result, the implementation of the new policy not only did not achieve Wang Jinggong's original intention, but the people complained, and in the end, countless impeachment memorials broke out. In the end, the old party re-taken the three provinces, and Wang Jinggong's new policy became a laughing stock."

Ye Chunqiu looked directly at Wang Hua and said solemnly: "What is the difference between the current situation of Lord Taishan and Wang Jinggong? Although Lord Taishan is already a great minister for the cabinet, His Majesty strongly supports Lord Taishan, although most of the Grand Secretary in the cabinet are former disciples and officials of Mount Tai, Yang Tinghe, Li Dongyang, and Jiang Mian, either retired, was expelled from the court, or had been punished, but... the world is still in the hands of those Lord Taishan who want to reform. Could it be that because of them, they will submit, be willing to cut off their own flesh, and obey?"
