This time, the "Law of Officials" edited by the Governor's Yuan is clearly written, and requires the cabinet, six ministries, the Governor's Yuan, Dali Temple and other institutions to strictly implement it. All officials must complete the declaration next year. Questions and the like, all dismissed from office, severe and terrible.

It is conceivable that such a regulation would have an impact on all officials of Ming Dynasty.

There are already some voices in the cabinet, and there are more voices in the six ministries. If it is expanded, the voices of opposition will be louder than those who support it!

Although the Governor's Council is only a draft and has not yet been officially approved and promulgated, it still caused a huge sensation among the government and the opposition, and the shocks were endless.

Compared with this, another action will affect more people in the capital and even in the entire Ming Dynasty!

In a brothel, a group of prostitutes in their early thirties and early thirties, more than a dozen people gathered together, discussing in a low voice, and weeping excitedly.

"Sisters, I heard that the imperial court is going to revoke lowly status, and we will return to civilian status..."

"Is it true? Will the imperial court really revoke the base status?"

"I have a friend. His family is an official. I heard from him. He said that if I take off my lowly status, he will marry me..."

"He lied to you. Don't we hear such lies?"

"No, I've heard that too. It's not just us. I heard that slaves, merchants, happy households, beggar households, servants, etc., all lowly statuses will be cancelled. All lowly statuses will be cancelled!"

"Can we really get rid of our status? Really?"

"real!"

A group of people said that they were emotional and cried.There are thousands of brothels in the capital, and I don't know how many people cried excitedly, crying from the bottom of their hearts.

At this time, the court and the Le households affiliated to the various yamen, the so-called Yue household registration, are the wives and daughters who committed crimes, and filled the palace and the government. Once a dancing girl becomes a Lehu, her end will be very miserable.In Nanzhili, the number of such happy household registrations was once as high as more than [-]!

Once you enter Lehu, you will never get out of it for the rest of your life;

Craftsmanship is another group that benefits the most and has the widest range.

The Ming Dynasty divided households into three classes: civil, military, and craftsmen. Craftsmen are the lowest class, and they are all handicraftsmen. There are all kinds of people.They are registered as craftsmen, serve the imperial court, the army, etc., and inherit from generation to generation. They cannot be separated from each other, and they cannot be divided into households.They are very low-level, unable to take the imperial examination, unable to operate other things, and many things are free. Even though there have been continuous reforms in the past dynasties, in fact, craftsmen are still "inferior" and live a difficult life.

I don't know how many people are drinking with each other, looking forward to it.

Money Law, Salt Law, Private Tea Regulations, etc., are quite happy for many small businessmen, but many big businessmen are dissatisfied, because many of the regulations in it block their way of making money and make them "restricted". ", very uncomfortable.

At the same time, conflicts about sea trade also emerged. Now Daming only opens the Shenlong Mansion in Nanzhili as the only outlet for sea trade, and all trade is monopolized in the hands of Akabane Trading Company. I don't know how many people are jealous in the past six months for a sum of money and piles of goods to be transported away.Now, someone finally couldn't bear it anymore, and was furious in private.

In addition, officials and businessmen in the south were unable to speak up in the court and could not express their demands. In the end, these things would be exposed in the court's competition for personnel appointments.

The golden rooster sings dawn, and the rain dew has a white belly.

Outside Qianqing Palace, Zhu Xu's bedroom, Cao Huachun knocked on the door anxiously.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." He called in a moderate voice, and there were some knocks on the door.

Recently, Zhu Xu didn't know whether he was tired or he was a little nervous. He woke up very angry. He heard Cao Huachun's knock on the door, but he just didn't want to answer it.

The more he didn't want to deal with it, the more annoying he became. Several times he wanted to drink Cao Huachun off, but finally he gritted his teeth, shivered in the freezing cold, and opened the door in a daze.

Without waiting for Zhu Xu to speak, Cao Huachun said, "Your Majesty, the cabinet has received hundreds of memorials from the government and the public, all of which oppose the restoration of the Great Ming Law and other laws."

Zhu Xuzheng felt uncomfortable, raised his head, kept blinking at Cao Huachun, and said: "If you disturb my sleep because of such a trivial matter, I will beat you."

Cao Huachun didn't care about Zhu Xu's threat, paused, and said in a low voice: "Outside the Chengtian gate, more than a dozen were killed."

Zhu Xu was in a daze, couldn't hear clearly, frowned, and said impatiently: "What did you say?"

Cao Huachun took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, more than a dozen officials from the government and the public have died outside the Chengtian Gate, and Wang Yuantan, the Minister of Rites in the 43rd year of Wanli, wrote a blood book on the gate."

Now Zhu Xu was awake, rubbed his face, and said, "Why?"

Cao Huachun looked worried, and said: "It's because the Great Ming Law revised by the Governor's Council is related to the abolition of the six subjects. He believes that this will make the imperial power fall aside, and the powerful officials will be in power, which will endanger the country and bring disaster to the common people."

"It will cause trouble for me!"

Zhu Xu complained, put on his clothes seriously, and said, "By the way, have all the cabinet members called?"

"Someone has been sent to notify." Cao Huachun said.He is very clear that many of the laws revised by the Governor's Council this time are seriously "out of line" and are bound to cause huge repercussions, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.

When Zhu Xu went to the cabinet, Wang Qiaonian, who was on duty at night, stood in the courtyard, looking at the dozens of corpses on the ground with an ugly expression.

Chapter 916

Wang Qiaonian's time in the court was very short, and he was not familiar with some old officials. Even if there were former servants of the Ministry of Rites, he couldn't tell them apart amid the rapid changes in the court.

Zheng Youyuan next to him has experienced many things. Before Bi Ziyan came to the future, he approached Wang Qiaonian and said in a low voice: "Old Wang Ge, the one who killed was Wang Yuantan, the servant of the Ministry of Rites of the Wanli Dynasty, and the rest are all four." Officials of the six departments since the DPRK."

Wang Qiaonian's expression became more and more unsightly. Not only did he kill a servant of the Ministry of Rites, but also more than a dozen officials from the Ministry of Science and Technology. What do people in the world think of this?Will the blockage along the road kill the Yanguan?

It happens to be at the end of the year again!

The imperial court now has a lot of plans, which will be launched one after another before the end of the year, and will be vigorously promoted next year. Time is short and there are many things to do, so don't be disturbed!

Wang Qiaonian knew that there would be many people rushing over, and at the same time he was worried and uneasy, a pungent smell of alcohol came over him. He frowned and said, "Why do they smell so strongly of alcohol?"

A guard officer said: "My lord, according to the patrol battalion soldiers who found them, these people were already drunk and staggered from the west of the city. When they heard the shouting, they thought it was drunkards making trouble and ignored them. When there was no sound, I walked over to check and found that these people had almost died of breath."

The corners of Wang Qiaonian's face twitched. These people simply crashed into the wall and died after being drunk. They were not sober at all!

If this spreads, the imperial court must be put in an extremely difficult situation!

Wang Qiaonian's thoughts turned around, and he said decisively: "Strict order, no rumors are allowed at this time! Also, go and invite Lu Xiangsheng, the commander of the patrol battalion, to enter the palace."

It was the first time Zheng Youyuan saw Wang Qiaonian giving orders in the cabinet, so he paused and said quickly, "Yes!"

Just as Zheng Youyuan was about to leave, Wang Qiaonian said again, "Additionally the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment and Governor Shuntian."

Zheng Youyuan was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Yes."

This matter is indeed no small matter, and needs to be handled carefully by the yamen.

Wang Qiaonian did not go to see Zheng Youyuan, but stared at more than a dozen corpses. Each of them was full of alcohol, and their stiff faces were full of resentment and resentment, just like the past officials who seemed to have endless anger and didn't want to vent all the time. them.

"An eventful autumn, a person in troubled times."

Wang Qiaonian whispered silently, his heart sank.

The elders of the six cabinet ministries all have a consensus, that is, the Ming Dynasty has indeed reached the point where it needs to scrape the bones to cure the poison, and the "New Deal" is a reliable method to realize the rejuvenation of the Ming Dynasty, and they are all working together to promote it.But all the time, I don't know how many people want to stop it, conspiracy and conspiracy continue, and now even death remonstrance is used.

"The Emperor is here."

Cao Huachun's voice sounded outside the gate of Guiji, and Wang Qiaonian was so startled that he hurried out to greet him.

Zhu Xu strode forward, waved his hands, and went straight to the dozen corpses.
