Hold tight to the thighs of the system and do things

Chapter 5 Competing with Sima Guang for history, isn't that courting death?
The next day, before Ji Yue woke up, he was woken up by the noise outside the main hall. After a while, Yao Hua, who had been waiting by his side, walked in in small steps.

"Officials, the Empress Dowager is critically ill, and the doctor said that it might only be two days!" He didn't say much, he just described the matter very straightforwardly, neither persuaded Ji Yue to go, nor persuaded Ji Yue not to go.

At this time, Ji Yue didn't intend to tear his skin apart, and he didn't intend to completely tear his skin apart until the power layout was completed.

Immediately ordered: "Come here, change clothes, send a car outside, and go to the Hall of Compassion."

As soon as the words fell, all the maids who had been serving in the side hall all bent over and walked in small steps, wearing simple red uniforms at the same time.

After Ji Yue calmly asked them to help him change his clothes, he said to Yao Hua: "Let's go, you go with me.

In addition, I ordered that the white jade dragon robe and other plain cloth items should be prepared. "

At this time, even if the Empress Dowager is critically ill, the main power of the court is still attached to the Empress Dowager. As long as she does not die, Ji Yue will not be able to take real power for a day.

After quickly stepping into the Hall of Compassion and Ning, Ji Yue adjusted his emotions and used the actor-level acting skills. Relying on the eye drops that were instilled in his eyes in advance, he quickly ran to the Empress Dowager Gao with a sad face. In front of his bed, he called grandma twice affectionately.

Then he yelled at the surrounding imperial physicians with the acting skills of the Roaring Emperor. The general line was similar to that if something goes wrong with the Empress Dowager, you will all be buried with her.

With this lively performance, those who didn't know it really thought how deep the relationship between the two of them was.

Until then, Ji Yue took the time to take a closer look at the Empress Dowager Gao. Even if a person in his sixties takes good care of himself, it takes a lot of effort to devote himself to political affairs every day, so even if he has all kinds of good things to eat, He can barely maintain the appearance of being in his fifties.

There is no makeup on her face, and there are various lines such as crow's feet. If you ignore her identity, she really looks like an ordinary and seriously ill grandmother.

It took a long time for Empress Dowager Gao to barely open her eyes. At this time, her complexion was already extremely bad, there was no trace of blood on her face, her opened pupils seemed very cloudy, and even her breathing was much heavier than normal.

Without speaking, he waved his hand to make everyone around him retreat, leaving Ji Yue alone.

"Boy, my ancestors had a hard time starting a business. They were lucky enough to have this life. However, your father launched a new policy, and the whole country was in danger of great chaos. It is still terrifying. Do you know why?" Empress Dowager Gao struggled to drink a cup from the side. After consuming the soup, he calmed down and said.

"Officials communicate with each other, deceive the superiors and conceal the inferiors, the law is a good law, and the officials become a bad law!
And that rotten scholar secretly causing trouble, he really deserves to be killed! " Ji Yue said calmly.

The Empress Dowager's complexion suddenly changed, and she was trying to sit up, but her body was extremely weak, and she could barely hold up a little.

He coughed for a while again: "Mr. Sima and the others are also...

Forget it, you have been the emperor for nine years, have you ever blamed me! "

"How come grandma is like this, all kinds of inside information, is it possible that grandma still doesn't know?

Why bother to ask me? "Ji Yue also dared to say this because the Empress Dowager Gao really couldn't last long. If she was dying like this, would she dare to abolish the emperor?
"You..." I don't know why, I didn't catch it in one breath, and just went straight.

Ji Yue helped her adjust her appearance a little, then burst into tears, and beckoned the people outside to come in quickly with a crying voice.

Empress Dowager Gao's funeral will naturally be a matter of national filial piety.

Although Ji Yue felt a little restrained, he could bear it. He had been eating and drinking for nearly a month, and finally got rid of his filial piety and formally took power.

In fact, even if Ji Yue never said anything clearly, those personal elite ministers in the court could guess some of his thoughts, so before the first court meeting, many memorials had already been handed in.

Ji Yue was flipping through the memorials casually in the Hall of Wende, all of them spoke gorgeously, but basically they were talking about not wanting the New Deal.

Su Shi, who originally had a good impression of Ji Yue, even persuaded him not to change his politics for three years. Although he didn't say it so bluntly, it roughly meant that.

After a while, Ji Yue's first court meeting after he came to power began in Zichen Hall.

Without waiting for those ministers to speak, Ji Yue said first: "I see that you are very dissatisfied with the late emperor's administration from the memorials of your loved ones!

Why, seeing that the late emperor has passed away, is this going to flog the corpse? "

As soon as these words came out, the courtiers below were all trembling with fright, many of them knelt down and bowed directly. How dare they accept such terrible words indiscriminately?

At the same time, they were all very surprised, surprised at how the new emperor would say such words?Is this to force the courtiers who made the memorial to death?
After a while, Sima Guang stood up and said, "Your Majesty, let me tell you that the chaos that occurred during the late Emperor's New Deal is well known to all.

These are all violations of the ancestral laws of the New Deal, and the ancestral laws cannot be changed. These are the words of the sages, and how can such words be imposed on the body of the ancestors, Your Majesty should be careful! "

After all, it was Sima Guang who easily revealed the terrifying atmosphere created by Ji Yue before, and even criticized Ji Yue for his unfilial piety. As a younger generation, how could he describe his father's generation with words like whipping corpses!

"What is the law of the ancestors? The law of the Taizu, the law of the Taizong?
Or Tang Fa and Qin Fa, and even Zhou Li and Yin Sacrifice?
Since Emperor Yu, there has been a law that has never changed, and Qin has strengthened it with reforms. This is recorded in "Historical Records"! "Ji Yue originally wanted to continue talking, but Sima Guang below had already started to interject.

"Your Majesty, Xinmang died with reforms, and Qin Fa II will never die!"

"The Han followed the Qin law, and the Qin law did not perish.

Land annexation has become extremely serious, and it is time to change! "Ji Yue knows that he can't compete with Sima Guang when he fights for history and the like.

He is a master of history who wrote "Zi Zhi Tong Jian", and he only knows a little about history, not to mention himself, even a professor of history may not be able to speak highly of him, so it is better to be a little self-aware, don't be with him This aspect is entangled.

At the same time, as Ji Yue said, the state of land annexation in the Song Dynasty was unprecedentedly severe.

There is no dynasty that has been in power for less than a hundred years, and land annexation is as serious as the Northern Song Dynasty. The main reason is that Song Taizu's position was not right.

Could it be that he wants to rule the world with the scholar-bureaucrats?If you can monopolize power, who is willing to share power with others?
Because there was no large-scale fighting, the power loss of the aristocratic families left after the Wei and Jin Dynasties in the early years was extremely small.In addition, Song Taizu later worried that military officers would add yellow robes again, so he restricted military officers and tolerated civil servants, which led to those later civil servants becoming new aristocratic scholars.

All of this laid the groundwork for the later land annexation to become more and more serious.
