Chapter 315 Your Majesty is no longer an ignorant boy (second update)

Chapter 313

But the young emperor Zhao Xu sitting at the other end was not nervous at all, and even watched the show there with great expectations. Anyway, this kind of dog-eating-dog scene is really rare, and it feels like taking pleasure in others' misfortune.

At this time, as the leader of the old party, the highly respected Fan Chunshi had to sigh and slowly moved out of the queue.

"Mother, I believe that the family law of our ancestors has also changed with time. When Emperor Taizong was the emperor, there were only a few dozen members of the clan. Now, there are tens of thousands of clan members. Such a large number of clan members are doing nothing all day long. , without a job, but spending a lot of the court’s taxes..."

"...If things go on like this, not only can the clan not be able to help the country, but it has become a scabies disease. Therefore, I think that the clan rules formulated by Taizong should be changed..."

"Fan Chunren, your Fan family has been blessed by my Great Song Dynasty Royal Family for many generations. I never imagined that you would treat my Great Song Dynasty Family as a bunch of ants that eat into the embankment? What is your intention..." An old man became furious on the spot, and said loudly growled.

This person is General Youshenwu of the same generation as Emperor Renzong, Puzhou Defense Envoy, and presented to Anhua Army Jiedu Envoy, Xun Guogong Zhao Yuncheng.

Although this old man is eighty years old, he is still full of energy. Compared with others, he has many children, and he even adopted sons for those brothers who died without children.

But with his hair, the old party members who wanted to pretend to be deaf and dumb suddenly couldn't sit still.Fan Xianggong is the benchmark of our old party, and he is also a role model for human beings. You guys have always been enjoying life and doing nothing, but now you actually look like you want to take advantage of us. How can you tolerate it any longer?

"What the Duke of Xi said is wrong. We are all ministers of the Song Dynasty. All our thoughts are for the court. Duke Fan Wenzheng takes the world as his own responsibility and is the anchor of the country..."

"Fan Xianggong's words are reasonable. Things have changed over time. The late emperor implemented many new laws. Although all industries have withered, there are still one or two good laws of the country. The rules of the ancestors cannot be changed arbitrarily, but it also depends on what kind of rules they are..."

After all, the old party makes up the majority in the court, but although those clans are old, they are really good at clinging to their old age, and there are also some unscrupulous people who are making sarcastic remarks and making noises.

As a result, the good deliberations in the court gradually became the focus of the aunts selling vegetables on the street, and all the civil servants and generals quarreled into a pot of porridge.

The Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes and looked towards the opposite side through the thin curtain. Although she couldn't see the emperor's expression clearly, from his squirming behavior, it was enough to know that the young emperor was certain in his heart. It’s joy that blooms.

Gao Taotao couldn't help muttering a little brat, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it. He continued to sip his tea and let those guys continue to argue and make noise.

In the end, when the situation became more and more unmanageable, Gao Taotao became furious and reprimanded these officials and clans. He almost regarded the emperor as nothing in the court, and sprayed a bunch of chattering, which made the gang quarreled just now. Officials and clans who obeyed were disgraced.

"If you are noisy and noisy, just keep going. I'll go back and rest first, while you wait to find someone to make the decision. The Ai family can't handle this matter and don't want to..." After that, the Empress Dowager walked away with an indignant look on her sleeves.

The civil and military officials of the court and the clan leaders were left in a state of bewilderment, watching helplessly as the Empress Dowager left the court.

But soon, someone started grinding out the taste, and after the ministers whispered to each other with strange expressions, they all retreated to the original place one after another in a tacit understanding. As for the elders of the clan, they also saw The empress dowager is gone, but the emperor hasn't left yet.

"Your Majesty, please make the decision for me..." A group of clan bosses turned their buttocks and faced Zhao Xu directly, which made Zhao Xu, who was just gleeful at other people's misfortunes and watching the excitement, a little dazed.

Zhao Xu, who took a long time to come to his senses, felt as if he had lost his temper. He didn't expect the imperial grandmother to be so cunning. But the problem was that if the imperial grandmother didn't care, wouldn't he, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, be in charge?

My heart just warmed up, but when I saw the expressions of the clan bosses and the old party officials over there, they looked calm on the surface, but in fact they looked like they were watching a good show. It was like a bucket of cold water being poured over their heads. Immediately clear.

The imperial grandmother's half-smiling expression seemed to appear in my mind, as if to say, are you thinking about imitating the late emperor all the time?Okay, now is a good opportunity. Do you have the courage to see those clans?
Zhao Xu stared blankly at those members of the imperial family, and remained silent for a while, his eyes fell, those ministers of the old party still seemed to stay out of the matter.

Zhao Xu couldn't help but think of his father, who was only middle-aged, but his face was already sickly, and his cheeks were haggard with silver frost.But now, after the Empress Dowager left, there was an unspeakable pressure that made Zhao Xu feel breathless.

These ministers just watched with cold eyes, while those members of the clan wanted to make decisions for them.At this time, if he shrinks back, then it is very likely that he will not offend these clan members.

But at the same time, it means that I can't bear the pressure at all. When I think about how my father and Mr. Anshi worked together to reform the Song Dynasty for so many years for the sake of the world, I don't know how much pressure I have endured. If my father hadn't been mentally and physically exhausted, , in the end it was difficult to withstand the pressure...

As for myself, is it possible that even the last smoldering flames of the new law left by the emperor have to watch it disappear, but dare to shrink back instead of standing up and speaking loudly?

In a trance, Zhao Xu seemed to see his father's kind and gentle smiling face, gently patted his head, and said softly. "I really want to wait a little longer, until my family Xu'er grows up. If I can watch you grow up, how wonderful it would be..."

"Father..." Zhao Xu suddenly had a sore nose, clenched his hands tightly into fists, and whispered softly towards somewhere in the dark.

"What did you say, Your Majesty?" A clan chieftain froze his ears, and those important court officials also turned their gazes over.

"Fellow clan elders, I am afraid that I would count them as your grandchildren or even your great-great-grandchildren. However, since I am the emperor of the Song Dynasty, I should plan for the country and the country of the Song Dynasty. There are nearly tens of thousands of descendants in the clan today. It is a huge burden for the court..."

"Therefore, the late emperor was determined to reform, so that the children of the clan could leave their infancy and use their talents and ambitions to serve their family and country..."

Zhao Xu spoke a little slowly at first, even solemnly, but later on, his thoughts became clearer and more organized, and his voice was clear and powerful.

Seeing this scene, those old party officials all looked sideways at each other, and those clan bosses had no matter how much they complained, but the problem was that the words of the emperor were well-founded, what could they do?

Even after Zhao Xu had finished speaking, they continued to act rogue, and even stubbornly believed that the sect rules established by Emperor Taizong could not be changed.

But Zhao Xu also played a trick. After announcing his decision, he didn't want to stay any longer, just like the empress dowager.

A group of clan chiefs were left behind to continue beating their chests and stamping their feet, but there was nothing they could do about it, while the gang of old party ministers all peeped at each other, whispered and left the court.

After slowly walking out of the hall, Fan Chunren turned his head and glanced at the towering, majestic hall, and couldn't help but feel filled with emotion. "Your Majesty is no longer the ignorant young man standing in the court..."
